Victory in Life
Chapter 20
a luxurious villa within the province, Dawson Schuler picked up her phone and laughed. "That means you actually found this young man very capable?" she said.
Wendy, who was sitting in her office at Commercial Bank, replied seriously, “Really, Dad. He was the most capable person I had ever met in the financial industry. I know that the company is now in a financial slump. That's why I intend to take him to meet you,” he said.
"Didn't you bring your girlfriend to see me?" Dawson laughed out loud.
Wendy's cheeks are flushed. "Dad, I told you something important," she nagged.
“Alright, alright,” replied Dawson, “Since he is your friend, it's okay if you bring him home to eat. I have my own plans for other things. You shouldn't think too much about everything. I've been through so many hardships over the years. It's not a big deal. It can be resolved quickly,” he added.
From Dawson's point of view, Wendy was young. His friend was also a young man. What skills and experience will he have?
Wendy seeks whatever help she can get. Little did he know, he was facing a huge problem. One could not even imagine the magnitude of it. He couldn't solve it himself, so how could his friend do it?
"You will definitely change your mind after meeting him" Wendy said. He understood Dawson's thoughts. However, he did not say anything more. Reality speaks louder than words. He believed that someone like Jasper would shine wherever he went.
After hanging up the phone, Dawson sighed. If this matter could not be resolved, he was glad that his daughter had someone to take care of her .. However, this young man had to go through the examination first.
On the other hand, Wendy was just about to leave to tell Jasper when they were going to meet her father. Just then, someone barged into his office in a hurry.
Harold Wood had a very panicked expression on his face. “Yes, Miss Schuler! Did you know that Jasper Laine buys futures for international crude oil in full position? He raised the price 50 times. It's 3.6 billion dollars! He bought everything in full position!” yells.
"Huh?! Is he crazy?!” Wendy shouted loudly in surprise. He entered the market in a full position under the influence of futures. This means that if the market fluctuates slightly in the opposite direction, Jasper's position will be liquidated and he will be finished.
"I'll be looking for him soon!" exclaim Wendy. Pushing Harold away, he immediately rushed out.
At this time, the fire is slowly spreading in one of the largest oil fields in the Middle East. A strong wind blew from more than six miles away. The fire will devour in a few minutes ...
No one was aware of what impact this fire and the gust of wind would cause to the world.
It took some time for the incident to happen. Jasper waited patiently for the news. Instead of news of the fire, Wendy came to him.
"Wendy, why are you panting?"
Jasper asked curiously as he looked at Wendy who was holding the doorknob while panting.
"How are you still so calm?!"
Wendy receives a cup of water that Jasper gives her. He sipped a lot of water without thinking twice. "Are you buying international crude futures at full position?" he's questioning.
"Yes, you received the news quite quickly," Jasper replied with a smile. He doesn't deny it.
“Of course, your transaction involves a large sum of money. Commercial Banks will definitely be watching him. Other than me, the provincial branch will definitely be notified about it as well.
“Why are you so brave? It's too risky to do it. What if …"
Wendy was raving worriedly. However, he could not continue after mentioning 'what if'.
Of course, he was on Jasper's side. Wendy wanted him to earn as much money as possible, so she did not want to say anything unfavorable.
"What if I lose everything?" ask Jasper. He's not rambling. For him, everything has happened in history. He was now just watching everything unfold from first-person view.
"Can you still cancel the deal now?" ask Wendy expectantly.
"What do you want?" Wendy asked Jasper while staring at his outstretched arm.
“Give me my glass back. I haven't finished the drinking water yet,” replied Jasper in a desperate tone.
"Well?!" Wendy gasps. He blushed immediately. Not only was this Jasper glass, but he also drank it.
Is this ... indirect kiss?
Does that mean she just lost her first kiss?
Wendy was so embarrassed that she wanted to instantly turn around and run away. However, Jasper pulled him into his newly renovated study room at the time.
“The furniture is rather simple, but I'm sure I can move to another house soon. Sit down,” Jasper said as he sat in front of his computer.
Wendy looked around. It was so simple and plain that it did not look like a billionaire study room at all. There was only a table with a computer on it and two chairs. There was not even a bookcase in the room.
But now is not the time to look at all this. Wendy took a chair and sat down behind Jasper. Unable to retract what had happened, he could only pray to God that Jasper would get something in return.
"You're really my lucky star" suddenly Jasper said. He sounds very excited.
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked doubtfully.
Jasper turned the screen to Wendy. "Look," he said.
Wendy turned her head and looked at the news on the computer screen.
The fire broke out in the largest oil field in the Middle East, which is also the second largest oil field in the world. The fire is still burning strongly and a top state official reported that production capacity may not be restored within the year. The oil field can thus be closed.
The short news made Wendy faint.
Trading in any market is basically a manifestation of the supply-demand relationship. Now that the world's second-largest oil field may be closed due to the fires, there will inevitably be a sharp decline in global crude production capacity. Then how is the price of crude oil circulating in the market?
Even a three-year-old knows that prices will rise quickly!
It is the second largest oil field in the world!
It contributes up to one-tenth of global crude oil production!
If Wendy didn't know that it was impossible, she would have thought Jasper was the one who lit the fire.
Jasper doesn't have time to talk to him now. He immediately switched to an interface that showed the future. As expected, the market responded immediately.
The future is not a stock. They cannot go up or down to a certain extent. Instead, they can go up or down indefinitely.
The price has gone from 28 to 31 dollars in a few minutes. Looking at trends, this is just the beginning.
"How much ... do you get?" Wendy asked in disbelief.
“Try me see .. 43 million dollars!”
