Chapter 830: David Rockefeller's Calculation

After Xia Yu left, Ronald Reagan pondered Xia Yu's proposal at home, and then gathered his own team for a discussion.

Although Ronald Reagan was already in his sixties, he was not lacking in the decisive character of a young man. After the discussion, he had already made up his mind.

He then visited Republican Party leader Benjamin Carr to seek his advice.

Benjamin Carr naturally knew about the Bush family situation and also believed that Ronald Reagan's choice was very wise, so he expressed his support.

So Ronald Reagan called George Bush and explained his thoughts, which caused the latter, who was on holiday, to become a bit disorganised. He said he would think about it, and then George Bush hurriedly packed his bags and flew back from Hawaii to Houston, calling in his friends to analyse the pros and cons...

Just as the Republicans and Democrats were gearing up again, David Rockefeller of the Rockefeller family in New York received a detailed investigation report on Xia Yu from his subordinates.

A large part of the Rockefeller family's investigation overlapped with the previous investigation commissioned by Benjamin Carr.

However, there was also some information that had not been investigated before, such as business information.

'It seems that there are still some business connections with us, but it seems that he has joined forces with the Rothschild family. Interesting...'

After quietly reading all the information, David Rockefeller muttered with interest.

The reason for saying that Xia Yu was connected to the Rockefeller consortium was because there were intersections in a few places.

In fact, Xia Yu's business is not small nowadays, and it should be said that the Rockefeller Group's business tentacles reach all over the world. Even David Rockefeller himself cannot say exactly how much assets there are, and it can only be known through detailed liquidation. Therefore, it was only after investigation that the Rockefeller Group's cooperation with Xia Yu was known.

In Hong Kong, CLP Power, which Xia Yu acquired, had already cooperated with Standard Oil, a member of the Rockefeller consortium, as early as 1964 to establish Peninsula Electric Company Limited. Although CLP Power was responsible for running the company, Standard Oil held the controlling stake, with CLP Power holding just 40%.

In the United States, the most direct one is Coca-Cola, which is still on the edge of the storm.

It was at Coca-Cola that David Rockefeller learned of the ambiguous relationship between Xia Yu and the Rothschild family.

The investigators obviously also understood the essence of the investigation, knew that this was what David Rockefeller was most interested in, and followed the clues to find out as much as they could about the connections between the Rothschild family and Xia Yu.

And the involvement of Standard Chartered Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland came to light.

Seeing this, David Rockefeller had already decided in his heart that Xia Yu had a deep relationship with the Rothschild family.

But what exactly is the relationship between the two, and this is worth pondering.

After reading the information, the first impression is that Xia Yu is the spokesperson for the Rothschild family, but on second thought, one can find that there are many areas that are open to debate. This specious and hazy feeling, on the contrary, made David Rockefeller feel interesting.

Of course, what interested him most was the unknown but very large number of oil futures contracts held by Xia Yu!

Now that international crude oil prices are still in a crazy rise mode, David Rockefeller, as the global oil throne overlord, is not joking about monitoring the oil industry.

Therefore, despite how hidden the Galaxy Fund is, and the fact that it has approached many financial institutions, a group of Chinese people running to Wall Street to buy oil on a large scale still stands out. Following the clues, it still points to Xia Yu.

In order to speculate in oil futures, the Milky Way Fund had leveraged ten times, and it had not been a small number of institutions.

However, the Rockefeller Consortium's network of contacts on Wall Street had allowed him to learn a lot about the trading data of many banks. According to the current data, the Milky Way Fund held more than 5 billion US dollars in oil futures.

This huge amount, although not as much as the amount of oil futures held by the Rockefeller Consortium, was still quite considerable.

If he could take over, it might bring the Rockefeller family at least a net profit of more than ten billion US dollars, which was not a small sum. Even David Rockefeller, who dominated the Rockefeller consortium with assets of hundreds of billions of US dollars, was still a little excited.

However, after careful consideration, David Rockefeller regrettably discovered that normal business methods seemed to make it impossible to take over.

According to the data, although the Galaxy Fund had leveraged ten times the financial leverage to go long on oil futures, the entry price was generally around 20 US dollars.

However, the price of oil futures has now soared above 30 US dollars.

According to normal practices in the futures industry, the method is to directly force multiple parties to liquidate their positions and then take over after forced liquidation.

However, the current situation of oil futures is obviously soaring, and even with the financial resources of the Rockefeller consortium, it is impossible to fight against the global trend, otherwise it will also be crushed by the surging tide.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect that the Galaxy Fund will be able to take over when it is liquidated. The only way is for the Galaxy Fund to voluntarily transfer the oil futures contracts, and then let someone else take over.

For example, let the Galaxy Fund or other parties of Xia Yu run out of funds and have to cash out the oil futures contracts.

His gaze went around Polaris Capital, Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company... In the end, David Rockefeller's gaze was fixed on the Galaxy Fund.

The focus was on a piece of text.

It said that the Galaxy Fund had invested in COMEX advanced copper futures and COMEX aluminium futures.

New York Mercantile Exchange oil futures were only listed last year, and before that, it was mainly the world of rare metal futures, coal futures and electricity futures.

Xia Yu also knew that the Galaxy Fund was also long advanced copper futures and aluminium futures, and it could even be said that he was the instigator.

After he arrived in the United States a few months ago, he found that Song Yang and the others were relatively idle. After all, the long-term outlook for oil futures was bullish, so there was no need to keep an eye on them. Song Yang and the others continued to learn about the various conditions of the New York Mercantile Exchange and set their sights on other futures on the same exchange.

At that time, they also studied them in detail and achieved some results. After reporting to Xia Yu, Xia Yu also learned about the New York Mercantile Exchange for a few days. Combining this with his memories of the future, he told Song Yang and the others to go long on high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures.

As for gold and silver, which ranked first among rare metal futures, they were passed over.

There was no way. Gold futures were bearish all the way, and Xia Yu had profited from it, so how could he possibly go long on gold futures?

As for shorting, don't be ridiculous. After the period of the gold crash, how would any futures traders dare to bet against the market?

As for silver, it's not much better. The famous silver futures manipulation case exploded in March. The Hunt brothers, from a large Texas oil family, had been laying the groundwork for seven or eight years, and in one fell swoop they drove the price of silver up to nearly fifty dollars. But within a month, it plummeted to eleven dollars. To prevent a mini-economic crisis, the US government had to step in and lend the Hunt brothers one billion dollars to cover their losses.

Under these circumstances, no financial institution would dare to bang on silver futures. The Hunt brothers' blood had not yet dried up!

That's why Xia Yu told Song Yang and the others to speculate in aluminium futures, the third most popular rare metal futures market, and high-grade copper futures, the fourth most popular. Copper and aluminium are indispensable metals for industry and are widely used in all walks of life. According to historical trends, high-grade copper futures and aluminium futures are long-term bullish, and the spot prices of both metals are also bullish. Contracts for both metals are excellent investment options.

Back to the topic.

When David Rockefeller saw this, he once again thought of Xia Yu's connection with the Rothschild family. With a quick thought, he came up with a plan that would kill several birds with one stone.

Whether this plan succeeded or failed would have no impact on him, but it would at least be able to test Xia Yu's strength and even test Xia Yu's relationship with the Rothschild family.

Of course, if he fails this test, then he should obediently get out of the United States and stop meddling in American politics.

Of course, before getting out of the United States, he will obediently give back everything he has obtained in the United States.
