Chapter 592 This Is Giving Me Money

After visiting the entire ship, I heard that there were actually 4 concealed weapon systems on board. Although Nasser was not allowed to enter the machine gun compartment, he finally asked if he could build a similar yacht in England.

Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, "A yacht of the same model is fine, but if you want to obtain a hidden weapon system, even if you donate a frigate to England, no one will take the risk for you."

Nasser sighed helplessly, as long as there is money for private modifications, even adding cannons will be fine.

But if this kind of yacht wants to dock in other countries, it is not just a matter of customs clearance.

Perhaps as soon as the ship landed, someone would arrest Nasser for possession of an offensive weapon.

So he looked at the yacht's legal license issued by England.

After sailing on the yacht for an afternoon, Nasser stayed in the manor for two more days, laughing at Li Changheng for being Grandet, and not even willing to buy a better thoroughbred.

On the one hand, because of the yacht, I left New York with infinite regret and unhappiness.

However, within a few days, Li Changheng heard from Annie that the shipyard that built the yacht for them had received a contract of intent for a super luxury yacht with a total length of 128 meters worth 15 million pounds.

No need to guess, it must be Nasser.

And as soon as this guy made a move, his yacht became the longest and largest private yacht in the world.

After the lawyers and professionals completed the evaluation of the Kanal Oilfield and went to Sat to see it in person, Li Changheng quickly decided to buy the four oil wells with a daily output of 2,400 tons and 17,000 barrels.

Compared with the oil wells in Satite with a daily output of 15,000 to 20,000 tons and more than 100,000 barrels per day, the output of these 4 oil wells is very low.

But compared to the situation that each well in China is only 20 to 30 tons per day, which are all high-yielding oil wells.

These 4 oil wells seem to be picking up big bargains again.

In less than a year and a half, the price of oil will skyrocket from $2.80 a barrel at this time to $7.

Then in December of 1973, there will be another wave of price increases reaching 11 to 12 US dollars.

After that, there was a six-year period of slow rise, until the early 1980s when it was more than 30 dollars.

Even as long as the oil wells are not exhausted, Li Changheng will be able to earn several hundred million dollars a year in the future, so he certainly feels that he has made a profit.

But from the perspective of people in this era, this business is not only risky, but also has a very long payback cycle.

17,000 barrels per day, 6.2 million barrels a year.

According to the price of 2.8 US dollars, it is 17.36 million US dollars a year.

Subtract about 30% of costs and taxes, plus the operating expenses of starting a company, and the cruise fee for shipping out crude oil.

It will take at least 9 years to earn $100 million back.

And if the oil is sold directly in Saudi Arabia, the price of crude oil is only about 2.6 US dollars, and it will take 10 years to pay back.

But if the price of oil reaches more than 10 US dollars, you can earn tens of millions a year, which is just like playing.

Therefore, Li Changheng didn't care what other people said, and determined that the four oil wells were in an oil field that had been exploited for more than 20 years and was expected to be exploited for at least 20 years.

And there are more than 4 oil wells of Satek around, so I immediately decided to buy them.

Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if the oil wells are not kept in our hands in the future, these 4 oil wells alone can restrict the convenience of an oil field in Saudi Arabia, as long as they are sold when the oil price soars after 74 years.

It will definitely make the United States and other countries whose oil exports are restricted, and they will buy it if they increase the price by 100 to 200 million.

The reason is simple, the crude oil below the oil well is all connected.

If Saudi Arabia reduces the production of more than a dozen other oil wells on this oil field, then his four oil wells will definitely exceed the production of 17,000 barrels per day.

At that time, either Saudi Arabia will compensate itself, or the oil companies in the United States and the Netherlands will increase their prices to buy them.

And when the news of his acquisition of these 4 oil wells was disclosed by the media, the price of oil all over the world rose from 2.81 to 2.83 US dollars in an instant.

Li Changheng knew that Nasser and the people behind him must be using his reputation for being bullish on oil prices to continue speculating in crude oil futures.

So in order to test how much influence he has on the market, since he bought the oil field, he has made people work hard at full capacity.

Then everything went as he hoped. Many futures investors began to wonder if he was crazy after seeing the crazy performance of the oil well.

After all, the act of keeping the mined crude oil but not selling it seems like a desperate move.

And is a lunatic worth everyone following him?

At the end of May, Li Changheng, who returned to New York, saw Nasser who had come here specially.

Then the first thing this guy said was, "Henry, because of you, crude oil futures have fallen from 2.83 to 2.81 dollars, and even have a tendency to fall below 2.8 dollars.

What on earth are you thinking? "

"It's very simple, I am absolutely sure that the future oil price will break through 3 US dollars a barrel."

"It's impossible," but a few seconds after he finished speaking, Nasser looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "How long do you think it will take?"

This time Li Changheng hesitated for a while, pretending, before saying, "A year or two."

Then Nasser was overjoyed at first, but it didn't take long before he frowned, and the happy expression on his face disappeared.

Most people who have made a lot of money will inevitably worry about gains and losses when they don't know the future.

After all, even if you succeed 10 times, many people will think that the probability of failing the 11th time will increase infinitely.

For contracts of one or two years in the futures market, the risk of using high leverage also increases infinitely.

Because there are too many variables in the middle.

Moreover, the increase from 2.8 to 3 US dollars is only a 7.1% increase. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to use 20 times the same leverage as last time.

But the last time the futures contract was only 3 months, the risk is too great to use 20 times leverage on this one-year contract.

So Nasser subconsciously persuaded Li Changheng to resume normal production of his oil well.

In his heart, he wanted to use this method to see whether Li Changheng was desperate, or whether he was really sure that the price of crude oil would rise to $3.

Then the facts let him down again, with a feeling of unwillingness and great relief, a few days after leaving New York.

The market reported that the oil production of the Kanal Oilfield began to return to normal.

Numerous bulls were celebrating, praising Nasser, and looking forward to a re-rise in oil prices.

And those who have short contracts in their hands, and many companies whose costs have risen due to rising oil prices, can't wait to kill Nasser directly.

On the contrary, Li Changheng, the instigator, was unexpectedly not scolded much.

A few days later, Li Changheng was sitting in a small coffee shop in Manhattan, slowly drinking a kind of Geisha coffee that had only appeared in the United States in the past one or two years, and was said to have a very low yield.

Ten minutes later, Dao Feng, who was sitting next to him, covered his earphones and whispered after listening for a while, "Boss, the person you want to see just came out."

Li Changheng put down his coffee cup and looked out the window.

I saw Frank Abagnale, with a shoulder bag on his back and a brown-haired girl in his left arm, walking out of Columbia Business School with a smile on his face.

"Let him come and see me."

"clear."

Dao Feng picked up a walkie-talkie and spoke to the bodyguard standing outside the coffee shop.

Soon there were 3 strong men in suits, sunglasses, and earphones, walking quickly through the street.
