Chapter 3701: You aren't dead, are you?

Rachel's father David Getty had already been waiting at home for a long time.

Seeing Du Heng, he was very happy, took the initiative to reach out his hand to shake Du Heng's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, why are you so late today? There has never been such a precedent before."

Du Heng smiled and said: "Our chairman has some business that requires me to come over and chat with Mr. Getty, it's about crude oil."

David Getty smiled and said: "No problem, I don't know how much shale oil Mr. Du plans to sell through us this time?"

Du Heng shook his head and said seriously: "We don't plan to sell, but to buy."

"Buy?" David Getty asked puzzled: "You are a shale oil extraction company yourselves, and you don't do refining business, why do you suddenly want to buy crude oil?"

Du Heng did not hide it either, and smiled: "Our chairman recently has some views on the situation in the Middle East, feels that the possibility of deterioration is relatively high in the future, so he wants to stock up on a batch of oil in advance to see."

David Getty was somewhat surprised, he said: "Mr. Du, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has been easing overall recently, I have already heard that another round of talks is about to start soon, and the passage situation has already improved somewhat, it won't be long before international crude oil prices should fall, although it won't plummet, but at least it should adjust by 15% to 20%, after all, it rose too sharply before."

Du Heng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Everyone has their own judgment, our chairman feels that the possibility of tension in the situation will be greater in the future, so he wants to see if Mr. Getty can take out a portion from your family's oil reserves and the crude oil about to arrive at port to sell to us, we are willing to offer a 5% premium, if oil prices fall, we will bear all losses and this 5% premium, if oil prices rise, we will only profit after deducting this 5% increase, for the Getty family, this should be a very cost-effective business."

David Getty nodded slightly, doing big business, the core is hedging, when oil prices rise, you cannot put all your money into going long, when oil prices fall, you cannot put all your money into going short.

The Getty family is optimistic about the trend of the Strait of Hormuz in the future, because from earlier until recently, the situation has indeed been gradually easing in fluctuation, so oil prices will definitely slowly fall afterward, so they intend to first reduce crude oil imports for a period of time, and then increase imports after prices drop, but those crude oils that have already arrived at port or are about to arrive were bought at high prices, so relatively it is not very cost-effective, if at this time they can sell high, they can also gain an extra 5% profit, which is absolutely a good thing for the Getty family.

As for whether they might miss the opportunity, the Getty family doesn't care, they are not in the business of reselling crude oil, but in refining and processing crude oil, when crude oil rises, refined oil and derivatives will also rise, in the end consumers still pay, so this 5% should not be wasted.

So, David Getty said without hesitation: "Since Mr. Du has the idea of going long, we can cooperate to release some crude oil for you, but the problem is, do you have enough oil storage capacity? We still have hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil arriving continuously, if you want these crude oils, you must have the ability to digest them."

Du Heng smiled and said: "Mr. Getty, we want all the crude oil that your production segment will not use in the next five days, as well as the crude oil about to arrive by sea, our chairman just wants to make a short-term move, within five days, if it rises, we will directly find a buyer, and when the oil tanker arrives at port, we will deliver immediately, if it falls, we will also cut losses and exit, after five days, we will not additionally occupy your oil tankers and storage space."

David Getty laughed: "Then there is no problem! I will have someone organize all the information and loading capacity of the oil tankers arriving in the next five days and give it to you, you see how much you need, once decided we will directly sign the agreement."

"No problem!" Du Heng nodded satisfied, smiled: "Then thank you, Mr. Getty!"

At this time, Du Heng was full of confidence, after all, this market situation is no longer just insider information, the Rothschild family's influence in the American and international crude oil markets is almost absolute, if other families are still predicting the market, then the Rothschild family themselves are the market, if this information could be wrong, then there would be nothing in this world that could be trusted as insider information.

Tens to hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil, if lifted by ten percentage points, after deducting the 5% given to the Getty family, each ton still has over thirty US dollars of profit, one million tons, easily earning over thirty million US dollars, plus the inventory currently under our control, Wu Yongzhen can walk away with over one hundred million US dollars in one go.

After Du Heng and David Getty settled the details, he stood up and said goodbye and left.

The Getty couple saw him off to the dock, Du Heng bade farewell to both of them, and then drove the yacht back alone.

Du Heng, driving the double-decker yacht back alone, did not know that there was already an extra passenger on his ship, and that passenger was Ye Chen, hiding in the bottom cabin.

Ye Chen had been thinking about how to deal with Du Heng, he wanted to know the information about the Left Army Governor's Mansion, the best way was to directly give Du Heng a psychological suggestion, after all, Du Heng's cultivation is far inferior to his, controlling him is as easy as turning over one's hand.

However, Ye Chen also had a faint worry, the whereabouts of the other two elders of the Broken Clear Society are unknown, if one of them is in the Left Army Governor's Mansion, then the psychologically suggested Du Heng returning would expose himself.

After weighing, Ye Chen decided to first control Du Heng, ask all the questions he wanted to know at once, including the relevant information about the elders of the Broken Clear Society, if the elder of the Broken Clear Society is in the United States, then simply do it thoroughly, directly kill Du Heng, store the corpse in the space, clean to the point that no one could possibly find half a clue.

If the elder of the Broken Clear Society is not here naturally it would be best, then Du Heng could become his puppet, in the future if he wants to move against the Left Army Governor's Mansion, having him assist from within would naturally make things much easier.

So, just as Du Heng was focused on driving the yacht, Ye Chen silently walked up from the bottom cabin and said softly behind Du Heng: "Stop the boat."

Du Heng heard Ye Chen's voice, his subconscious first second was extreme shock and panic, he is a cultivator trained by the Broken Clear Society, his sensitivity is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and moreover he is Wu Yongzhen's mouthpiece to the outside world, coming and going are very cautious, in his subconscious, even he himself did not notice someone behind him, then this person's strength must be much greater than his.

Du Heng was very panicked, he was thinking about countermeasures while using delaying tactics to first shut down the yacht's engine, then carefully turned around, nervously saying: "Senior, spare my life..."

Ye Chen did not block Du Heng's turning around, when their eyes met, Du Heng saw Ye Chen's first second, his eyes widened as if seeing a ghost, and he murmured in surprise: "Ye... Ye Changying?! You... you aren't dead?!"
