Chapter 530: The situation reversed! The whole world was shocked!
In fact, Chen Yan's feelings towards Zhao Xuan were a little complicated.
On the one hand, Zhao Xuan was actually nice to him, and he was also Zhao Ying's father.
No matter what, with the relationship with Zhao Ying, the two of them must be family.
But on the other hand, when Chen Yan and Zhao Qingtian were preparing to fight, Zhao Xuan backed out. Even though there were many complicated reasons, Chen Yan still had some grudges against him.
So, facing the call from Zhao Xuan, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and wanted to hang up, but he didn't think it was necessary. So, in the end, he still picked up the phone.
After the call was connected, there was silence on the other end of the line for four or five seconds, just like Zhao Xuan's complicated mood.
Finally, Zhao Xuan slowly opened his mouth, "Chen Yan. I heard about your recent situation. Is there anything I can help you with?"
After hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Chen Yan smiled and said directly, "Yes. Can you lend me 10 billion?"
Zhao Xuan on the other end of the phone fell silent again.
After a moment, he said, "I can't spare so much money. Almost all of my previous assets have been taken back. During this period, even if Zhao Qingtian gave me a lot of compensation, I can only use a few billion."
"If you need it, I'll call the bank and have them call you back."
After hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Chen Yan fell silent for a moment.
Regardless of whether what Zhao Xuan said was true or false, his attitude alleviated a lot of Chen Yan's previous complaints and resentments.
What's more, based on Chen Yan's understanding of Zhao Xuan, if he could say so, he would most likely actually do so.
So, Chen Yan adjusted his mood and stopped forcing him.
"Forget about the money. I don't have a big problem here. Uncle Zhao, you called me, is there anything else?"
Zhao Xuan said earnestly, "Actually, I'm mainly worried about you."
"I heard about you recently. I know you are in a dangerous situation now."
"Yingying...how should I put it. She is quite generous. So as a father, I have to do more."
"I'm not kidding. If you need money, just tell me directly. I have over a billion ready."
"But I still think that we should just let it go if we lose this bet. We shouldn't keep on gambling."
"You are still young, and there is still a long way to go."
"There's no need to dwell on this."
Although what Zhao Xuan said were all old stuff, Chen Yan still listened to it silently.
Then he said, "Uncle Zhao, I know everything you said."
"But I believe in my own judgment. I also believe that I will be the winner in the end."
"So, don't worry."
Seeing that Chen Yan still looked like he was "destroying his mind", Zhao Xuan sighed slightly and stopped trying to persuade him.
He knew that people could not be persuaded at this time.
For some things, you can only learn lessons after you hit the wall.
But fortunately, as he said, Chen Yan is indeed young and still has a chance to fail.
I failed this time, so I will be more cautious next time and start over again.
With his help, Chen Yan will have no problem making a comeback.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan stopped talking and just said a few words before hanging up the phone.
Chen Yan didn't hang up the phone until he finished chatting with him.
However, just when Zhao Xuan was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly called Chen Yan again, "Chen Yan, wait a moment. I have something else to tell you."
Chen Yan stopped hanging up the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xuan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Let me tell you. This morning, Zhang Yonghao from Toutiao came to see Zhao Qingtian."
"Zhao Qingtian and him must have had contact before. Because today, in just a few hours, the two signed the equity transfer agreement."
"Equity transfer agreement?" Chen Yan asked in surprise, "Have they signed the contract?"
Zhao Xuan whispered, "Not only has the contract been signed, Zhao Qingtian has even transferred the money."
"I have someone in the finance department who is in charge of the whole process."
“She was the one who told me this.”
Hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Chen Yan frowned tightly.
He knew that Zhang Yonghao and Zhao Qingtian were together again.
However, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Moreover, Zhang Yonghao had just lost more than 2 billion yuan and sold 20% of the shares to himself. Why did he suddenly sell another 5% of the shares?
Chen Yan felt a little confused.
Moreover, he didn't quite understand why Zhang Yonghao was always obsessed with the Zhao family.
He knew that Zhang Yonghao admired the strong, but was it really to this extent?
I have absolutely no persistence of my own.
He is obviously a wealthy man, but he ended up being a bootlicker of the powerful.
At least Chen Yan put himself in the other person's shoes and felt that he couldn't do it.
Just as Chen Yanren was thinking this, Zhao Xuan also spoke up. He said, "I think you should be careful about Zhang Yonghao. He is not trustworthy."
"He is obviously from your company, but he has been flirting with Zhao Qingtian. This is very problematic."
After hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "What about you? We agreed to deal with Zhao Qingtian together, but in the end, didn't you also hook up with Zhao Qingtian?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but pause.
He sighed and said, "Chen Yan. From my perspective, I really have to consider many, many issues."
"There are some things I didn't tell you. It's hard to explain to you."
"Although I still hate Zhao Qingtian, we are a family after all, and I have to consider the interests of the family."
"I am not alone now, but there are many people who depend on me."
"If I fight with Zhao Qingtian at the expense of the family's interests, not only will the family's interests be damaged, but they will also find it very difficult to do things."
Chen Yan said, "But Zhao Qingtian attacked you back then. He even forced you to death."
Zhao Xuan sighed, "He was indeed very cruel to me at the beginning. But he didn't force me to death."
"I want to commit suicide in order to achieve my goal of forcing him to do it."
"Besides, he came to me to apologize for this matter. He said that I could make any conditions as long as it did not harm the interests of the family. He would explain it even if he had to give me the position of the head of the family or commit suicide to apologize."
Chen Yan asked back, "Do you believe it too?"
Zhao Xuan smiled, "I don't believe it."
"We are all old foxes, no one should act like Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio."
"It's just that he apologized to me like this in front of the whole family on the family memorial day."
"If I continue to hold on to this, the people on my side will lose their morale."
"What I can do is to use my own power to check and balance him within the company."
"Prevent him from manipulating the Zhao family as he pleases, and prevent him from dealing with you."
"You are still young. You need time to develop steadily, rather than fighting with the major families."
Chen Yan had actually heard all of Zhao Xuan's thoughts through his inner headphones before.
Although there are some more details, the content is similar.
This is also the reason why Chen Yan understands Zhao Xuan even though he has resentment towards him.
Every family has its own problems, let alone such a large family. Zhao Xuan is not young anymore, and the relationships within the family must be complicated. It is normal for him to have his own considerations.
However, after thinking about what happened with Zhang Yonghao today, Chen Yan suddenly had an interesting idea.
He said, "Uncle Zhao, did Zhao Qingtian tell you that he would agree to anything to compensate you?"
Zhao Xuan said "hmm".
Chen Yan said, "Then go find him and tell him that you want the 5% stake that Zhang Yonghao sold to him."
"You forgave him anyway."
“If you don’t take advantage of a bargain, you’ll lose money.”
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, "What do I want that 5% of the shares for?"
Chen Yan said, "You don't want it, but I do. I just need that 5% of the shares."
"You get it and sell it to me."
"Oh. By the way. You said before that you would lend me more than 1 billion."
"That's just enough to cover the tens of billions."
Zhao Xuan exclaimed, "Ah?" and almost couldn't figure it out.
But Chen Yan didn't give him time to think, and said, "Can you please say something, Uncle Zhao?"
"You can also take this opportunity to test Zhao Qingtian."
"He wants to ask for your forgiveness, to avoid internal friction within your family, and to be harmonious."
"Since he is willing to give you his life, he won't be reluctant to give up such a small share, right?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Xuan took a deep breath and agreed, "Okay! Then I'll go find Zhao Qingtian now and ask him to transfer the shares to me!"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Okay. I'll wait for your good news. Uncle Zhao~"
Chen Yan called him "Uncle Zhao" with great sincerity...
…
Zhao Xuan 's work efficiency is still very high.
Two hours later, Chen Yan received a call from Zhao Xuan: Zhao Qingtian agreed.
But Zhao Xuan was afraid that things would get more complicated, so he signed an agreement with Zhao Qingtian on the spot and then went to the notary office to notarize it.
Zhao Qingtian seemed to have no objection throughout the whole process and accompanied Zhao Xuan through it all, without even telling Zhao Xuan why he wanted this part of the shares.
But after the final notarization, he said to Zhao Xuan: Please take good care of Chen Yan for me.
Chen Yan knew that Zhao Qingtian probably saw through his plan, but it didn't matter. Chen Yan was just using an open conspiracy.
Since Zhao Qingtian has put Zhao Xuan in a position where he can't get down, he should get the benefits first and then develop and strengthen himself.
Being angry with Zhao Xuan is not as satisfying as getting Toutiao Technology first and kicking out that bastard Zhang Yonghao.
While thinking this, Chen Yan called Qin Ming, who had been on standby in Tiandu, and asked him to take the agreement to Zhao Xuan to sign the equity transfer agreement.
At this point, the last and most critical 5% of Toutiao Technology’s shares are in Chen Yan’s hands!
This time, the plan to plot against Zhang Yonghao was finally a complete success!
…
However, when Chen Yan was carefully weaving a giant net that could swallow the sky, the wealthy people in Hong Kong and the mainland were unaware of these things.
At this moment, their attention was firmly attracted by a piece of news that shocked the whole world.
In fact, the world's oil trade has always been controlled by a few major oil-producing countries.
Among them, the largest and most influential are the member countries of the World Petroleum Organization OPEC.
They account for more than 40% of the world's oil production, which is half of the country.
So, they can be said to be the main makers of oil trade rules.
The second and third largest oil producing countries are the United States and the polar bear.
Although these two countries do not account for as much of the national oil production as OPEC member countries, they are still very important, accounting for 16% and 13% respectively.
Apart from the three parties, the oil production share of other countries is in the single digits and less than 5%.
So, generally speaking, the game between the three parties determines the future oil production and price.
However, because their interests are roughly the same, most of the time the three parties will negotiate a satisfactory result and then implement it together.
As a result, this time, things did not go as usual.
When all OPEC member countries have agreed to cut production and raise prices.
White Bear officials suddenly held a press conference.
At the press conference, the White Bear spokesperson strongly rejected the suggestion of further deepening the production cuts, and proposed that White Bear would definitely increase production and reduce prices in the next few years.
This sudden reversal shook the whole world three times.
However, if things had come to this, everyone would just be a little uneasy, not panic-stricken.
After all, the White Bear is only an important oil-producing country, not the main one, and if OPEC can withstand the pressure, then things will turn around.
As a result, no one expected that on the same night, White Bear announced that it would increase production and lower prices.
The foreign affairs spokesman of Sharab, a major member of OPEC, directly denied the OPEC agreement that had just been negotiated two days ago, and directly released the news of increasing oil production and reducing prices.
Moreover, the extent of the price reduction hit a new low . It seems that they want to start a price war with White Bear and force White Bear to make concessions.
The two major oil-producing countries were suddenly filled with the smoke of war over oil prices, which made the whole world turbulent.
And the most direct manifestation is...the sharp drop in crude oil futures.
When the White Bear announced that it would increase production and cut prices, capital with a keen sense of smell began to flee crude oil futures. This caused crude oil futures, which had been rising for 13 consecutive days, to fall for the first time.
Then, when Sharab announced to follow suit to increase production and reduce prices, the price of crude oil futures began to turn 180 degrees and began to fall rapidly!
At this moment, whether it was the domestic wealthy people who were paying attention to this matter, or the Hong Kong financial circle who were partying there, they were all dumbfounded.
Black swan! Absolutely black swan!
No one expected that something that was going smoothly would suddenly turn out to be such a disruptor!
The Hong Kong City financial circle, which had originally wanted to blow up Chen Yan's account, was now a little panicked.
The wealthy people from Tiandu and Qindong who were originally laughing at Chen Yan were all a little stunned.
Both parties are like this, not to mention Zhang Yonghao, Vice President Wang, and the financial director.
They all looked at the news and the plummeting curve of crude oil futures, and felt a chill all over their bodies.
However, at this time, everyone still had certain fantasies in their hearts.
For example, the white bear was scared.
Or maybe both sides have expressed their attitudes on this matter, so they sit down to negotiate again.
It's all possible.
As a result, the development of events in the next few days shattered all their fantasies.
The day after Sharab announced the start of a price war with White Bear, White Bear, who has always refused to be outdone, directly announced its own production potential and further lowered its crude oil prices.
Then, that afternoon, OPEC member countries announced that they would cooperate with Saudi Arabia to reduce prices and promised to increase production, as if they had discussed it beforehand, in order to protect the market share of OPEC member countries.
At this point, the crude oil production reduction agreement that had lasted for more than a decade directly collapsed, and the world crude oil futures prices collapsed, falling by 31%, setting the largest single-day drop in 30 years since the last Middle East war!
At the same time, the share price of Saturland Aramco, the world's largest oil company, plummeted by nearly 10%, and its market value evaporated by more than one trillion yuan.
Global stock markets suffered a heavy blow, with stock markets in countries such as the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, and the British Empire all falling by more than 4%. In some countries, intraday declines even exceeded 10%, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism and announcing the suspension of all trading for the rest of the day.
A terrible financial tsunami followed the beginning of the war over crude oil futures.
At this time, the only one who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai was Chen Yan.
As oil futures continued to fall, his short orders began to snowball wildly. His previous paper losses amounted to billions, but in just two days, he made it all back, and is still growing wildly.
And as the White Bear Energy Minister once again refused to restart negotiations with OPEC, the decline in the crude oil futures market could no longer be stopped.
Among them, the crazy long buying by Hongcheng Financial Company some time ago and the liquidation caused by their desire to escape the market became another booster for the market decline.
Therefore, in just four days, when the oil futures market had not yet stabilized, Chen Yan's 8 billion short position turned into 25 billion including principal and interest!
At this time, Chen Yan did not continue to be greedy, but followed the guidance of the system and gradually bought oil futures to close his positions.
His leverage was about 8 times at the beginning, but by the time Zhang Yonghao took over, it had reached 14 times.
25 billion, 14 times, that's 350 billion in orders. It directly suppressed the panic market sentiment and even caused the price to rise slightly.
Because the world's attention was focused on the oil futures market, and seeing that the price was actually rising against the market trend, everyone knew at the first time that it was Chen Yan who was leaving the market.
When everyone saw the funds being used to close positions, it was as if they were seeing countless wealth being reaped by Chen Yan.
At this time, some smart people had already started calculating how much Chen Yan would gain this time.
You don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you’ll be shocked.
When the number of more than 16 billion appeared in everyone's eyes, everyone was shocked.
Two years ago, Soros attacked Japanese foreign exchange and only made 600 to 700 million yuan.
This took more than half a year.
As a result, Chen Yan earned more than 16 billion in just over a month? !
This speed of making money is too scary!
Moreover, he once again made the right bet on his own vision, made enemies with the whole world, and actually had the last laugh.
This is simply incredible!
At this time, Zhang Yonghao and Vice President Wang, who were far away in Tiandu, were already cold all over and regretted their actions...
