Chapter 3695: Waiting by the Stump for a Rabbit

Steve finished ordering all the dishes for tonight in the back kitchen, but he didn't rush back to the private room.

He actually knew in his heart that he, this top-tier family's second-in-command with such impressive credentials, couldn't even manage to be a lackey in front of Ye Chen; Ye Chen couldn't possibly have anything to ask Robert, this cheap nephew-in-law, so today's matter must be that the intention is not the wine, absolutely there's something he needs to talk to Robert's mixed-race girlfriend about, so he himself must also be sensible and not bring Robert to disturb.

Robert, unaware of the inside story, seeing the dishes all ordered and Steve still unwilling to leave, couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, should we go back to the private room?"

"Not yet." Steve waved his hand, instructing him: "You wait here, I'll go make a phone call."

Although Robert was surprised, he didn't dare to question, only able to nod in agreement.

Steve walked out of the back kitchen, took out his phone and called Ye Chen, on the phone respectfully asking: "Mr. Ye, can I bring Robert over now?"

Ye Chen hummed, saying: "Come on, I happen to have something to tell you, but you arrange for Robert, let him find something to do, don't rush in yet."

Steve said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll send this kid to buy some stuff for me."

"Good."

After hanging up the phone respectfully, Steve went back and called Robert out.

Robert thought he could return to the private room, but he didn't expect Steve to call him out and then instruct him: "Robert, you help me go to Chinatown to buy some Chinese roast goose."

Robert asked with a dazed face: "What is roast goose?"

Steve explained: "It's a kind of Chinese cuisine; I wasn't just recently in China handling the family's Greater China business, right? I got used to eating Chinese food there, and if I don't eat it for a meal, I feel uncomfortable, so you go there once, buy more to bring back."

Robert felt extremely wronged in his heart.

After all, he's somewhat a member of the Rothschild family; Steve could completely order the restaurant manager to do this, why must he order himself? Is he here to eat with him or to run errands?

But Robert also clearly knew in his heart that Steve is after all not his biological grandfather; his biological grandfather he could still weakly protest a bit, but in front of Steve, he dares not say a single word of refusal.

So he could only nod resentfully and say: "Okay, Grandpa, I'll go now."

Steve patted his shoulder, laughing and saying: "Go on, when there's a chance I'll take you to China for some training, you guys from this lineage, to be honest, I just find you pleasing to the eye."

Robert stared at Steve in disbelief; although Steve's words were a bit harsh, he inexplicably felt happy in his heart and also gained a sense of indescribable mission, just wanting to hurry up and buy the roast goose for this grandpa of his.

So Robert immediately said respectfully: "Thank you, Grandpa, for your recognition; rest assured, I'll go to Chinatown now!"

Steve smiled kindly: "Go on, go on, we're waiting for you."

"Good!"

Robert walked away happily.

Steve returned to the private room, saw Ye Chen, smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, you were looking for me?"

Ye Chen nodded, gestured for him to sit beside him, then asked: "By the way, Steve, there's something that might need your small help."

Steve immediately said: "Oh, what's there to be polite between you and me? Being able to serve you is my honor!"

Rachel had already become numb to Steve's fawning; she quietly watched Steve's complete obedience to Ye Chen, and in her heart understood even more clearly that as long as she cooperates with Ye Chen, Ye Chen will definitely make Steve bring huge benefits to her family; this benefit is not money, but the importance in the Break-Clean Association, which will make the whole family's future life much easier.

At this time Ye Chen said to Steve: "I want the international oil price to experience a short-term surge, and the faster the better, best if it rises today!"

Steve didn't feel very surprised, but respectfully asked Ye Chen: "Then how much do you want the oil to rise?"

Ye Chen said: "At least 10%!"

Steve breathed a sigh of relief, confidently laughing: "This……this is simple, recently we've been using the situation in the Strait of Hormuz to manipulate oil prices to surge and plummet; if we want to sell high, we make the situation tense there; if we want to buy low, we promote negotiations; a barrel of oil sold today, bought tomorrow, sold the day after, plus the leverage in the futures market, going back and forth a few times, the funds just double."

Ye Chen laughed and said: "So blatant?"

"What's that?" Steve laughed and said: "Aren't the president's family all stock gods too? Ordinary people playing the securities market analyze and predict the market; top players don't care about these, top players create the market."

Saying that, Steve again said: "Actually, the gameplay in the oil market is very simple; we almost don't participate in oil extraction and production; besides the Saudi royal family, most oil extraction businesses are dirty and tiring work, making money too slowly; we mainly make money in the international futures market, and we don't make money from market rises and falls, but from creating market rises and falls; when there are more longs in the market, we create some situation in the Middle East to short; when there are more shorts, we create a situation to go long; when there are more short contracts in the market, we start wars; when there are more long contracts, we promote negotiations; again and again we blow up the positions of small retail investors, the blown-up money comes into our pockets; controlling oil prices for us is like using a remote to control the TV volume; you only need to tell me when to rise and when to fall."

Ye Chen nodded, smiling: "Then good, you arrange it as soon as possible tonight, I want to see results in the shortest time."

"No problem." Steve respectfully said: "I'll arrange it."

Ye Chen smiled: "Okay, I just have this matter, nothing else, call Robert back to eat."

【38> Steve embarrassedly said: "I just sent this kid to Chinatown to buy roast goose, he probably won't be back in less than an hour."

Steve said awkwardly: "I just sent this kid to Chinatown to buy roast goose; he probably won't be back for an hour."

"An hour?" Ye Chen helplessly laughed: "You're treating him like an errand boy."

Steve laughed: "When I become the family head, they'll all have to run errands for me; otherwise I have plenty of ways to suppress their income."

Ye Chen nodded, casually said: "Then you and Miss Getti wait here for him; I and my sister will leave first."

Steve stunned, asked: "You're not eating anymore?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "No, arrange a plane to send us to Miami."

The Getti family rose in Miami; the family's core members and the base of family industry are all in Miami; Ye Chen inferred that once Rachel conveys the insider news of the imminent oil surge to the Left Army Governor's Office, the Left Army Governor's Office will definitely send people to meet with the Getti family.

What I need to do is, before the other side takes action, first go to Miami to wait like a guardian waiting for a rabbit!
