Chapter 395 Betting!

Dennis' heart trembled when he saw the change in expression on David Rockefeller's face.

Is this what I said for sure?

Sure enough, David Rockefeller put away the warm smile on his face and looked at Dennis with a solemn expression.

"Dennis, why do you ask this out of the blue?"

David Rockefeller asked Dennis calmly at this moment.

Dennis did not dare to hesitate and immediately said, "Mr. David, it involves an investment."

"Yesterday afternoon, Jim from the Investment Department came back from Chicago and came to see me in a hurry."

Dennis recounted to David Rockefeller in detail how Jim persuaded him to invest in oil.

David Rockefeller, on the other hand, sat there, listening with a blank expression.

"Sir, as you know, the investment department has suffered a major loss this time. This is a major mistake for both the bank and me personally."

"So, I am cautious about investing in oil, but I am also a little tempted. Just like Jim said, if there is a war in the Middle East, oil prices will definitely skyrocket."

"By then, we can recover some of our losses."

In the end, Dennis honestly told David Rockefeller all his thoughts.

After listening to this, David Rockefeller said thoughtfully: "So, it was Victor who asked Jim to follow him to invest in oil?"

"And he himself brought one billion US dollars into the game?"

"Yes!"

Dennis said seriously.

"It seems that Bao's nephew is indeed an investment genius!"

David Rockefeller said with a smile at this moment.

Although he didn't know how the other party judged the Iran-Iraq War, there was no doubt that the other party was right and was willing to place a heavy bet.

Investing a full ten billion U.S. dollars into the oil market is indeed a big deal!
After hearing what David Rockefeller said, Dennis didn't dare to respond.

He knew very well that the cooperation between Chase Manhattan Bank and Victor was originally ordered by Mr. David. The Eastern shipping magnate was a very good friend of Mr. David.

This was also the reason why he dared to come to the Rockefeller estate to inquire, because the source of the information was from the shipping tycoon's family, which was in a disguised sense someone David Rockefeller was familiar with.

"Dennis, there are some things I can't tell you. After all, this involves the interests of the bank."

"You are now the captain who controls the bank's investment. It is up to you to decide which direction to go."

"But as an old man, I want to give you a word of advice."

“The timing of investing is never about when to get out, but when to get out.”

"Well, I have another meeting in New York today, so I won't keep you any longer."

David Rockefeller now regained his gentle demeanor.

Dennis stood up respectfully and said, "I see, Mr. David. I am grateful for your teaching today!"

After saying that, Dennis suppressed his excitement, then slowly turned around and left.

Mr. David didn't seem to give him a clear answer, but in fact he had already told him the answer.

There is really going to be a war in the Middle East!
After Dennis left, David Rockefeller sat on the sofa and did not leave.

War in the Middle East?

Bao's nephew was thousands of miles away in the Far East, how could he have made such a judgment?
To be honest, if David Rockefeller heard the news for the first time, he would be unlikely to believe it because it sounded too fake.

But now, he was a little surprised.

Because before, Bao told him another piece of news, that the silver storm that broke out in the United States was analyzed by his nephew through some information.

Of course, he didn't know about the Hunter family's actions. He just judged that someone was hoarding silver, so he entered the silver market.

Before this, David Rockefeller was somewhat skeptical about Bao's statement, even though Bao Yugang had shown him a large amount of funds.

But now, the other side has once again predicted a war in the Middle East, which has forced David Rockefeller to think.

Maybe this nephew Bao is really a rare genius?

David Rockefeller believed that there were such geniuses in the world because his grandfather was such a genius who could perceive business opportunities that ordinary people could hardly imagine from just a few words.

And another Morgan who lived in the same period as his grandfather was also a similar genius.

Therefore, David Rockefeller would not find it unbelievable that such a genius appeared in the Far East.

But now he wanted to see whether the other party was really as good at judgment as Bao said.

Just as he reminded Dennis, timing to get on the table is important, but timing to leave is even more important.

Until the money actually falls into your pocket, all the gains are false.

This time, he wanted to see if the other party was as amazing as Bao Yugang praised.

At this time, Li Changhe was not aware that he had already fallen into David Rockefeller's sight without being noticed.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, he came to the United States to help some Americans make money.

In the United States, he is "generous" in sharing.

Just like the young man he was facing at this moment.

Yes, that's right, young man.

Li Changhe originally thought that the arrogant Farol must be a middle-aged man in his forties, but he did not expect that the other party was unusually young.

Judging from his age, he is only about 30 years old. No wonder General Motors did not give him the CEO position, unless they are crazy.

What Li Changhe didn't know was that he was lamenting Farol's youth, and Farol was also lamenting Li Changhe's youth.

Although he knew from the teacher that this was a young rich second-generation from the East, he was still too young!
He looks about twenty years old, right?

There is no way. Orientals look younger than Westerners. Moreover, as Li Changhe's physical fitness gets better and better, his appearance also gets better and better, and there is no sense of vicissitudes on his face.

"I'm sorry, Vic, but I just can't help but ask, how old are you?"

After hesitating for a long time, Farol finally asked Li Changhe.

"Twenty-five!"

"Why, because I'm young, you think I can't be your boss?"

Li Changhe asked with a smile at this time.

My goodness, he hasn’t even disliked Farol’s youth, but Farol has already started to doubt him?

"Uh, Hammer, Vic, since the teacher introduced us, I'll tell you straight."

“I have no interest in playing entrepreneurial games with children.”

"And I doubt it. Even if your family gives him 100 million US dollars to start the company, will he still have the ownership and say in the company in the end?"

Farol spoke to Li Changhe and Su Haiwen bluntly.

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king!

Someone like Farol, who prides himself on his ability, won't sell himself out easily.

And now, to be honest, he doesn’t see the support he needs from Li Changhe?

A world-class company?
It seems like there is none at all!

Su Haiwen was not angry about this. Instead, he smiled and said to Farol: "Carter, there is one thing I think I must make clear to you."

"All of Vick's funds belong to him personally. They have nothing to do with our family, and there is no legal ownership of them."

"So, today's meeting is actually a matter between you and Vic."

"Not to mention 100 million dollars, even 10 billion dollars is completely up to him. No one else, including the shipping magnate you think you are, can make any decision without him." "Huh? Really?"

After listening to Su Haiwen's words, Farol looked at Li Changhe suspiciously. Does this guy really have so much money?

"So, Mr. Victor, can I know what industry you want to invite me to work in in the United States?"

After hesitating for a moment, Farol continued to ask Li Changhe.

After all, they were called by the teacher, and with the guarantee of my senior brother, it was obvious that they would not use such things to deceive me.

Farol decided to take a closer look.

"Not yet. I just came to the United States with funds. What I want to do now is oil investment. But to be honest, this does not require your intervention."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

As for oil investment, his team and Jim's men have already entered the market together. The Chicago Stock Exchange has already begun to take over the oil contracts on the market, and they will send people to New York next.

What Li Changhe had to do was actually to wait until the Iran-Iraq War broke out and the price of oil soared, and then sell it.

"Then I am confused, what is your purpose?"

At this moment, Farol looked at Li Changhe seriously and asked.

Li Changhe smiled and continued, "I will have many businesses to run in the United States, but I currently lack a suitable CEO."

"Professor Pierre recommended you. Although your conditions are exaggerated, I think that people who dare to put forward such conditions naturally have their own reasons."

"Of course, I see distrust in your eyes now. You don't trust me, just like many companies don't trust you!"

When Farol heard Li Changhe reveal his thoughts, he didn't say anything, but just continued to look at Li Changhe.

Yes, in fact, up to now, he doesn't have much trust in Li Changhe.

He also felt that Li Changhe was unreliable now.

"Mr. Farol, you know very well that no well-known large company will agree to your request. A CEO of a company does not just need to be capable. More importantly, he needs to gain the trust of shareholders."

"Let alone big companies, even some medium-sized companies won't trust you. Otherwise, although 100 million US dollars is a lot, it is not a shackle for the company to hire you."

"Now, the only one who can trust you and give you money should be me!"

Li Changhe said to Farol seriously.

"I have a suggestion, Mr. Farol might as well listen to it!"

"Ok?"

At this moment, Farol looked at Li Changhe with some surprise.

"I think we might as well sign a bet agreement."

"Betting agreement?"

Farol was a little surprised when he heard what Li Changhe said.

"Yes, I am currently in the United States, and I am planning to work in many industries, such as the sports industry and the clothing industry, etc."

"I can give you $100 million, but I also want to see what Mr. Farol is capable of."

"So I can come up with an industry direction and sign a bet agreement with you, Mr. Farol."

"I will provide the industry products I selected, and Mr. Farol will set up a company to do it. During this period, we will sign a gambling agreement with a total value of 100 million US dollars, and the funds will be allocated based on your performance."

"In other words, you give me an industry direction, I will help you do it, and then according to your classification criteria, I will get the 100 million US dollars of support?"

Farol asked with a sneer at this time.

Isn’t this just accompanying him in starting a business for fun?

"No, no, no, you are wrong about one thing!"

"The criteria for the bet is not set by me, but by you, Mr. Farol!"

"For this gambling agreement, I have only two requirements. First, I propose the direction of the industry, and second, I pay the money!"

"And all the subsequent betting standards will be set by you, Mr. Farol."

"Even if you set a goal that if you increase the company's sales to one million dollars, I must fulfill my promise of one hundred million dollars, I have no objection!"

"So, rather than saying that this contract is a bet between you and me, I would rather see it as a bet between you, Mr. Farol, and yourself!"

"You set the assessment criteria yourself, and then complete them yourself. Of course, the consequences of failure are also entirely up to you!"

Li Changhe said confidently to Farol at this time.

Su Haiwen, who was standing aside, had a look of surprise on his face. Similarly, Farol, who was sitting opposite Li Changhe, was also looking at him in surprise.

"You mean, the gambling agreement was entirely drawn up by me, no matter what the conditions are? You agree to it?"

"Yes, I said, even if you set a target of one million dollars, or one hundred thousand dollars, as long as you set a target of one hundred million dollars in cash for me, I will agree."

Li Changhe said to Farol with a smile.

At this moment, seeing Li Changhe's calm and confident face, Farol was touched.

He didn't have the mentality of dying for his friend, but he suddenly felt that Victor seemed to be a very interesting person.

It is difficult for ordinary people to think of such an agreement.

To put it bluntly, this kind of agreement brings some fun to one's self-challenge. One sets goals for oneself and completes them by oneself. It sounds very interesting.

"I'm curious, where does your confidence come from? Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you out of the 100 million US dollars?"

Farol hesitated for a moment and asked Li Changhe again.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "How should I put it? It doesn't matter whether you are arrogant or confident. At least you are proud."

"Proud people disdain to use such deceptive means. Otherwise, you can just cheat those big companies."

"Of course, even if you really cheated on me, it doesn't matter!"

"Because if you really cheated on me, then Professor Pierre will definitely compensate me afterwards."

"The compensation of a law professor, to be honest, would make me many times more than $100 million."

"So, the one who really gave me confidence was not you, but Professor Pierre!"

Li Changhe said to Farol with a smile at this moment.

When Farol heard this, he felt inexplicably shocked.

Yes, if he really cheated Li Changhe through despicable means, then afterwards, Professor Pierre, as the introducer, would definitely compensate Li Changhe as much as possible for the sake of his own reputation.

As a top law professor who has worked at the University of Chicago for forty years, if he really used his lifelong connections to help Li Changhe, the commercial benefits generated would definitely be far more than 100 million US dollars.

At this moment, Farol suddenly felt a little frightened of Li Changhe.

Now, he has not seen Li Changhe's business talent, but he has seen his grasp of human nature.

After hesitating for a moment, Farol looked at Li Changhe and said seriously.

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't make fun of the teacher and my personality."

"I can agree to this gambling agreement."

"But I want to know first what industry you want me to be in, so that I can make this bet agreement based on the industry!"

Farol is now somewhat interested in Li Changhe. More importantly, he feels that challenging oneself is indeed very interesting.

It is entirely up to you to set your goals and then complete them. If you fail, you can't blame anyone else.

And if he wins, then there is no doubt that he will get more than he imagined.

"Of course, I can tell you about the product first. This product is in the Far East. You can go and do some research when the time comes."

Li Changhe then told Farol about a product he had already targeted.
