Chapter 866: Major Powers Begin to Intervene

With so many countries popping up all of a sudden, it has become even more difficult for island countries to obtain oil from several countries in Southeast Asia.

Li Changheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there are seven or eight developed capitalist countries including England and France to grab the share of oil.

In addition, the United States must be ready to sanction the islanders in these three days.

This plan to sneak attack and rob the island country's economy is tantamount to victory.

It was almost 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Changheng looked at his watch.

The time in Tokyo at this time is more than 10 o'clock in the evening, while the east coast of the United States is less than 9:30 in the morning.

In a few minutes, the futures market on the London side will close, while the Chicago futures market and the New York Stock Exchange will just open.

After thinking for a few seconds, in order to really reassure Citigroup and other forces, Li Changheng looked at Taylor and said, "Tell the Citigroup board of directors that I have 79.2 million barrels of crude oil in my hand, and let them operate it.

And the 30 million barrels in London promised by the U.S. float can also be ready for delivery.

The only requirement is that the price must not be lower than $12.

And the money owed to Citigroup will be repaid immediately, understand? "

"No problem, boss."

For ordinary people, the bank may sue him for breach of contract and force you to pay more interest.

But for a person of Li Changheng's status, this was nothing at all.

After Taylor went to work, Li Changheng picked up the phone beside him and called his team of lawyers and accountants.

To repay the loan from Citigroup, you must also repay the loan from UBS as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if there is too much cash in hand, then the tax paid can be cut by about 45% at once.

2:30 p.m.

The London futures market has closed trading today, but the Chicago futures market and the New York Stock Exchange have just opened.

Soon there were more and more phone rings in the VIP room, and there was no need to guess, although Washington had not released any comments and countermeasures on the island country’s private contact with Shater.

But everyone in the entire market knows that the storm is on the verge of breaking out.

Countless small and medium-sized capital and retail investors with low speed of information sources sold their stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets related to the island country like crazy.

Then began to bearish on the island stock market.

It's a pity that the meat has basically been divided up by the big consortia and there are only a few people who can buy short contracts.

But this does not prevent investors and financial institutions from taking advantage of the fire to loot island countries.

Even the more people can't buy short contracts, the easier it is to trigger a larger sell-off.

If it weren't for the island country at 10:50 p.m., someone might have jumped off the roof as soon as the stock market opened in the island country.

"Dilingling", the dedicated phone on the coffee table next to Li Changheng suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, the voice of South Carolina Representative Francis Wood came from the microphone.

"Lord Selby, I take..."

"Wait," Li Changheng interrupted Francis directly, frowning and asked, "Where did you get my phone number?"

"Sorry, Henry, I didn't explain clearly first."

Francis said sternly, "I am now a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and a South Carolina senator to ask you for some information."

Li Changheng heard Francis say that he is a South Carolina senator and a member of the Appropriations Review Committee.

Immediately understand that Francis is different now.

However, this guy's tone just now has not changed at all compared to before.

Still so calm, with a hint of goodwill and a low profile.

And the reason, apart from the fact that Francis knew that he was a South Carolina senator, for Li Changheng, he could neither target his business nor damage his reputation.

On the contrary, I need Li Changheng more.

He won the election two months ago, except for the political donations made by Li Changheng with the fund, which benefited from a large amount of media exposure.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changheng realized that this call was made by Francis, not only to show his favor, but also to tell the various committees of the Senate that he was on Li Changheng's side.

The 32-year-old senator is not only amazing, but it also shows that he desperately needs backing.

If Li Changheng remembers correctly, New Jersey Senator Horton Mitchell was not only re-elected in the new Senate election two months ago, but also became a member of the Appropriations Committee.

And because of the scandal of the current chief of the elephant, the following members of the elephant council have already started to form a group at this time, let alone Horton and Francis' behind-the-scenes benefactors.

The biggest benefactor is Li Changheng.

So Li Changheng didn't ask Francis again why he knew about the call, because Holden Mitchell and New York Senator Noel Paled were one of only five people who knew.

"Good morning, Senator Wood, there should be other councilors around you, right?"

Li Changheng, who was just bluffing, heard Francis say in a relaxed tone, "That's right, sir, sitting around me is not only Mr. Blank, the executive chairman of the audit committee.

And Mr. Collint, Senator of California, and Mr. Houghton-Mitchell, Senator of New Jersey. "

Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, Holden Mitchell was one of his own, and Kelinte was at least not an enemy.

As for Blanc, depending on the situation, he should have a close relationship with Horton and Francis.

Moreover, this group of people are all elephants, so they can dominate the various review committees of the senators.

Of course, this is not inevitable.

According to the rules of the United States, it doesn't matter whether the commander belongs to an elephant or a donkey.

Whoever holds the majority of seats in the senators dominates the senators.

So once the faction to which the Grand Commander belongs cannot dominate the senators, life will definitely be very difficult.

It is not an exaggeration to describe any bill that wants to pass.

"Good morning, Chairman Blank, I'm Henry Selby Lee. Nice to meet you. If you don't mind, you can call me Henry just like Horton and Francis."

Some old laughter soon came from the microphone.

"Good afternoon, Henry, I'm Josie Blank."

They greeted each other, complimented each other, and then greeted Horton and California Senator Collint.

"Henry, I happen to have a $74 million funding application submitted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and you, as the consultant of the Ministry of Justice, directly review the affairs of the Bureau of Investigation.

So, we want to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this new law enforcement branch. "

Li Changheng pursed his lips, saying no sooner or later, he had to wait until this time to make a call, all fools knew that the funding from the Bureau of Anti-‘Reading’ was just a cover.

And it is said that it is definitely not in compliance with the rules to say this on the phone.

Even four elephant senators called him to inquire, which in itself has violated the regulations.

But since politicians dare to entertain publicly, and they are not afraid of reporters interviewing their donors and supporters on the spot, it seems perfectly normal to talk about business matters on the phone.
