Chapter 339 Shadow Butterfly's Little Scheme
"Meng Chuan, are you doing this on purpose? I've been here for half an hour, and the security guard at the door just won't let me in."
After Alice came in, she looked at Meng Chuan with a very resentful expression.
Alice brought Natasha to Mar-a-Lago half an hour ago.
However, those wearing security uniforms guarding the entrance to Mar-a-Lago were all members of the War Hall.
Without Meng Chuan's or Ying Die's permission, let alone Alice.
Even if the US president came, there would be absolutely no way he could get in.
Even though almost everyone in the Battle Hall knew who Alice was and what her identity was.
But at that time, Meng Chuan was inspecting the financial information center in the basement.
In the basement, Shadow Butterfly had installed a signal jammer.
Meng Chuan's phone was completely unreachable.
Only the special mobile phone in Yingdie's hand can receive the information.
Meng Chuan had no idea that Alice had arrived.
Yingdie knew Alice had arrived, but she just wouldn't tell Meng Chuan.
When a woman doesn't like another woman, she'll definitely make things difficult for her whenever she gets the chance.
Even the Shadow Butterfly is no exception.
"Sorry, I was busy just now. Please have a seat."
Meng Chuan quickly reassured him.
At the same time, Meng Chuan glanced at Ying Die discreetly.
Yingdie looked at Alice with an arrogant expression.
Sensing Meng Chuan's gaze, Ying Die quickly withdrew the expression from her face.
Maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.
But how could her delicate appearance possibly fool Meng Chuan?
"This little girl is making progress quite quickly."
Meng Chuan smiled bitterly to himself.
Meng Chuan certainly wouldn't blame Ying Die.
The fact that Yingdie would make such a small move shows that she already has her own ideas and thoughts.
However, Yingdie's "petty" nature seems somewhat childish, like a child vying for their parents' attention.
Some of it deviated from Meng Chuan's original intention and direction in cultivating her.
I don't know whether this change in her is good or bad.
"Let's take a look at the stock market first."
Seeing that Alice was about to complain, Meng Chuan quickly spoke first.
Getting down to business, Alice suppressed her dissatisfaction and took out her laptop.
"The stability of international crude oil prices is mainly due to the fact that the United States has now relaxed its crude oil export ban."
Alice explained as she turned on the computer.
In response to OPEC member countries, the U.S. Congress lifted a 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports.
Allow US producers to export light crude oil to the international market.
The aim is to expand export markets, absorb excess domestic production capacity, and increase domestic crude oil prices.
This is also to enhance the United States' influence in the global energy market.
After all, the United States has always been a bellwether for the international market.
To put it bluntly, it's all about boosting crude oil prices and maintaining the influence of the US dollar.
At the same time, it suppresses OPEC member countries.
"Congress also adjusted its strategic petroleum reserve strategy, increasing oil stockpiling. As a result of these policies, international crude oil prices have stabilized at $45 a barrel and are still steadily rising."
After Alice finished speaking, she looked at Meng Chuan, wanting to know how he would enter.
"Even policies implemented for 40 years have been forced to be adjusted. It seems that OPEC members have really made the United States suffer a great loss this time. However, it is likely that the days ahead for OPEC members will not be too easy."
Meng Chuan shook his head.
There aren't many rivals on the international stage that can inflict such a huge loss on the United States.
However, the United States certainly doesn't have the magnanimity to swallow its losses.
From this point on, the United States will conduct frequent military operations against countries such as Iran.
This included increasing troop deployments in the Middle East and even the subsequent US airstrikes that killed a senior Iranian military commander.
Trump openly admitted in a post that he was the one who issued the airstrike order.
This demonstrates the extent of the United States' hatred for Iran.
"Then let's get involved! We'll use $80 billion to buy international crude oil with 100x leverage, and keep the remaining $20 billion as margin."
Meng Chuan thought for a moment and then said to Alice.
"We only have 100 billion in principal, and you're directly using 80 billion? Isn't that too... risky?"
Alice said with some worry.
80 billion can leverage 8000 billion in funds.
Leaving only 20 billion yuan of principal to "guard the house," can it really hold up?
“Miss Alice, don’t forget your role. You are just the trader. Your job is to execute orders, not to question them.”
Before Meng Chuan could speak, Ying Die coldly retorted.
"Although I am the trader, I am also a shareholder, and the principal is all mine."
Alice glared at Shadow Butterfly:
"And I'm not just questioning, I'm just raising questions."
“You can withdraw your principal, and I can provide Meng Chuan with enough principal.”
"Shadow Butterfly said coldly."
Yingdie isn't exaggerating.
Meng Chuan's capital is all in her hands, and she can use it at any time, but she will suffer considerable losses.
Moreover, even without using Meng Chuan's principal, she could still raise 100 billion.
Thanks to Meng Chuan, Ying Die now holds a very high position in the Green Gang.
Even if Yingdie wanted to access the Green Gang's 100 billion dollars in the United States, it would only be a matter of making a phone call to Fifth Master.
Yingdie believed that Fifth Master would be willing to come up with 100 billion US dollars.
"you……"
Alice was furious.
"Alright, alright, just do as I say!"
Meng Chuan hurriedly interrupted.
"Meng Chuan, are you really going to protect her like this?"
Alice felt extremely wronged.
She is, after all, the little princess of the Warburg family.
Yingdie was merely Meng Chuan's bodyguard.
Her status was even lower than that of Meng Chuan's bodyguard, which Alice could not swallow.
"You should know that Yingdie saved my life, and she also saved yours."
Meng Chuan looked at Alice seriously.
Meng Chuan would not treat Alice differently just because she is pretty.
Meng Chuan truly cherished Ying Die.
It's not just because Yingdie's background is pitiful.
Most importantly, she was quite skilled, and with her around, Meng Chuan never worried about his safety.
Secondly, and most importantly, she managed Meng Chuan's vast family business in an orderly manner.
Furthermore, she always thought what Meng Chuan thought.
To put it bluntly, besides his parents, the person Meng Chuan trusts most in this world is Ying Die.
"Okay, I see."
Alice took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Alice was truly speechless when it came to this matter.
Back in Mengchuan's hometown, we really owed a lot to Yingdie.
In this respect, Alice really has to thank Shadow Butterfly.
Even Natasha, who was standing next to Alice, looked at Shadow Butterfly with awe.
Because Yingdie also saved her.
Otherwise, she would have been the one to die that night.
“Miss Yingdie, I’m sorry for my rudeness earlier. I didn’t question Meng Chuan’s intentions, and I will do as he says now.”
Alice was somewhat proud and arrogant.
But she was still reasonable.
Although she didn't understand why Yingdie was always targeting her.
But it is a fact that Yingdie saved her life.
Most importantly, Alice knew that her position in Meng Chuan's heart was now far inferior to that of Ying Die.
She cannot afford to antagonize Yingdie.
If Yingdie were to whisper sweet nothings in Meng Chuan's ear, their hopes would become even slimmer.
Alice's sudden apology caught Yingdie off guard.
However, Yingdie wasn't good at explaining, so she simply stood quietly and didn't say anything.
However, Yingdie's complexion was noticeably better.
"That's right! You are all people I can completely trust. Let's get along well from now on."
Seeing signs that the two sides were reconciling, Meng Chuan quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.
Then Meng Chuan changed the subject and instructed Alice:
"Remember, start selling when crude oil prices reach $106, then start shorting. I estimate that crude oil prices will not exceed $108 at most, and will most likely plummet to around $31 in the end."
