Chapter 19 Our Ye family doesn't need to stand in line!
"Little bastard, if you say you want to start a war, you will start a war. You raised the President of the United States?!" Mr. Ye cursed a few words and vented his dissatisfaction, but then asked, "What is the basis?"
When Ye Kai saw Mr. Ye asking about him, he took out the things he had told Zhong Liyu the previous time and told Mr. Ye. They were nothing more than military expenditures, capital group interests, arms sales and the like.
"The Americans were worried that they would not be able to intervene in the Middle East affairs normally, but Lao Sa sent such a suitable reason. I suspected that the two of them were playing a double act. Now it's better. The aircraft carriers of the American soldiers have sailed to the Persian Gulf. It's embarrassing.
It is difficult to sheath a knife, not to mention that the American knife is very sharp." Ye Kai said to Mr. Ye.
After hearing his grandson's words, Mr. Ye showed a hint of surprise, but quickly asked, "Even if the Americans want to fight this war, how can you be sure that international oil prices will fall sharply?"
It stands to reason that once a war breaks out and it is near the Persian Gulf, international crude oil production will definitely be affected. According to the relationship between supply and demand, oil prices should skyrocket. Regarding this, international analysts also have different opinions.
But I don’t know how Ye Kai said with certainty that oil prices will definitely fall sharply?
"There is another reason here, and it has something to do with Old Maozi." Ye Kai said to Old Man Ye.
"Oh? Tell me." Sure enough, Mr. Ye asked with great interest.
Ye Kai said, "Lao Maozi's economic situation is very bad. The source of foreign exchange basically depends on exporting crude oil. Now that oil prices have skyrocketed, it is naturally a good thing for them, but it is very depressing for Americans.
, so the White House may take the opportunity of the war against Iraq to introduce policies to stabilize oil prices and bring the national oil price back to around 20 US dollars."
Objectively speaking, the Soviets benefited greatly from Iraq's troubles, sending troops to Kuwait, and the skyrocketing international oil prices. Therefore, when it came to the Gulf issue, their attitude was that the more chaos here, the better, and oil prices skyrocketed.
, the Soviet Union's crude oil exports will be greatly stimulated. After the income surges, the domestic economic situation will improve, and the pressure on the government will be reduced.
Therefore, even if the Americans planned to send troops to Iraq and stand up for Kuwait, the Soviet Union's reaction was not very strong. This was naturally due to the impact of oil prices.
But Americans are not fools. According to Ye Kai's impression, it seems that the President of the United States has considered using half of the strategic oil reserves to stabilize international oil prices.
Although these things are not a big deal when viewed in isolation, once they are viewed in series, they are not that simple. Many vague international situations immediately become clear.
"If this happens, the Soviets are going to jump..." After hearing Ye Kai's analysis, Mr. Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ye Kai could analyze it so thoroughly.
"It's more than just jumping around. If things really develop according to my analysis, I estimate that the Soviet Union will disintegrate within a year, the old empire will fall apart, and the United States will become the only superpower in the world and dominate the entire world situation." Ye
Kai took this opportunity to pour out all his inner thoughts.
"Alarmist!" Mr. Ye heard this and criticized Ye Kai rudely.
To be honest, Mr. Ye's intelligence sources are naturally richer and more accurate. He still understands the situation in the Soviet Union relatively well. However, although he feels that the Soviet Union's economic situation is difficult, it will not collapse like this. After all, it is the world's largest
How could a country, a superpower whose military power rivals that of the United States, collapse so easily?
But listening to what his grandson Ye Kai said, it seemed as if the disintegration of the Soviet Union was just around the corner. How could he believe it?
"We'll see." Ye Kai didn't argue with the old man, but replied with confidence.
Mr. Ye looked at his grandson and stopped criticizing him. He just asked, "When will the money be returned?"
What he was referring to was, of course, the 300 million funds transferred from the military's secret account through the hands of the second old man.
Although not many people know about this matter, it is not a trivial matter.
Looking at it from the position of the old man and the second old man, even if the money is lost, they can still find a reason to prevaricate it, but they are not the kind of people who do stupid things at all, and they do not have the idea of harming the public and enriching themselves, so
The issue of this money must be clarified clearly.
You know, this year's domestic foreign exchange reserves are only about 11 billion US dollars. Ye Kai used 60 million US dollars in one fell swoop. This is definitely not a small amount. Although it is hung in the military's secret account,
But it can't be avoided from the eyes of caring people.
Although Mr. Ye somewhat appreciates Ye Kai's analysis, if Ye Kai and the second Mr. Ye hadn't done it secretly, he would never have agreed to their misbehavior.
"The money will definitely be returned around the 20th of next month." Ye Kai promised again.
"Really so sure?" Mr. Ye asked again. He didn't know where Ye Kai's confidence came from.
"Don't worry, grandpa." Ye Kai replied with a smile, "Even if the Americans can't take action, according to the current trend of international oil prices, it is impossible to maintain them at a high level. A decline is inevitable. At least I will not lose money, Xiao
There is no suspense if there is a surplus. If the profit is too small, the most I can do is return the funds and give 20% of the shares in the Xicheng real estate project to the military, and no one can find fault."
After hearing this, Mr. Ye thought about it in his heart and immediately laughed, "You little naughty boy!"
If things don't go well according to what Ye Kai said, compensating the military with 20% of the shares is not a loss to him. After all, he knows very well that as long as the real estate project continues, it will definitely make a lot of money. It's just the reality.
It's just not allowed, but if the military is tied up, the situation will be different.
Even if someone in the local government wants to make things difficult, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks on projects involving the military?
On the surface, Zhongli's family suffered a loss, but after careful calculation, this project was very profitable.
"Since you are so confident, grandpa, why don't I wait for you for a month?" Mr. Ye finally spoke, and he said with pride, "Grandpa, I also know your little thoughts, and I will just follow you here.
Just tell me, no matter what others do, our Ye family does not need to take sides!"
