Chapter 3703

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Du Heng subconsciously furrowed his brow.

After a moment's thought, he said respectfully: "All the garrisons of the death warriors under the Left Army Governor's Office have already undergone a complete replacement; the scale of the replacement is huge, involving tens of thousands of personnel transfers. Now it has been ensured that all the Jinyiwei and death warriors cannot be stationed in the same place as their families. Such a transfer can only be carried out by the personal order of the Grand Commander, and because it requires nearly all departments to coordinate together, the movement is too large and might not escape the notice of the Ying Lord."

Ye Chen knew Du Heng could not be lying, so seeing this, to try to reassemble the tens of thousands of people who had already been completely scattered would require an enormous amount of work, and it might indeed attract the attention of Wu Feiyan.

Thus Ye Chen could only temporarily let it go; whether to rescue these death warriors and Jinyiwei would have to wait until later for further consideration.

Now, I no longer need to continue deeply cultivating the Left Army Governor's Office, after all I still need to wait for the Rothschild family to push oil prices to a new height, so that the Left Army Governor's Office can make a big profit in this artificial market; as long as Rachel Getty can become the most trusted scholar of the Left Army Governor's Office, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to gradually deal with them.

So he told Du Heng: "From now on, you must contact Rachel Getty every day; if I have any orders to give you, Rachel will help convey them, and at that time you must do your utmost, understood?"

Du Heng immediately and respectfully said: "I understand!"

Ye Chen nodded and instructed him: "Now dock the boat, and then you may return."

Du Heng immediately complied, docking the boat at the nearest location.

Ye Chen disembarked and directly called Steve Rothschild; Steve quickly arranged a bulletproof Cadillac to arrive at Ye Chen's location. After the car stopped steadily, Ye Chen opened the door and got in. Lin Wanan was sitting alone in the back seat. Seeing Ye Chen get in, she asked concernedly: "Young Master, how did things go?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said: "It's settled. You still want to go to Harvard, don't you? Why not let Steve arrange a flight, and we'll go to Massachusetts first."

Lin Wanan asked Ye Chen: "Is there nothing left to do in Miami?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Later we'll have to wait a bit, wait for Steve to handle it."

Lin Wanan lightly nodded and smiled: "Since there's nothing here, then I, your servant, will obey your orders, Young Master."

Ye Chen took out his phone and called Steve to arrange a private plane for himself, as well as accommodation after landing in Massachusetts. The Rothschild family's industries span the entire United States; Harvard, as one of America's top universities, is naturally also a cradle for the Rothschild family to cultivate the next generation. They have deep cultivation both inside and around these Ivy League schools.

As Ye Chen expected, after Steve received Ye Chen's call, he immediately said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, our family has a private club on the Harvard University campus. On the surface it is a private club for senior alumni, but in fact it is our family's own property. There are guest rooms there; you two can stay there, and the Rothschild family will attend to you two."

Ye Chen hummed in agreement and said: "That's best; you arrange it. We're going to the airport now."

"No problem."

The bulletproof car immediately carried Ye Chen and Lin Wanan to Miami Airport, escorted them directly onto the plane, and they took the Rothschild family's private jet to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

At the same time, the Rothschild family had already dispatched their special lobbyists stationed in Washington to go to the White House. To prevent the outside world from knowing too much about the Rothschild family's movements, the direct descendants of the Rothschild family and their apparent high-level managers rarely have direct contact with the White House; instead, they conduct lobbying through carefully cultivated lobbyists. These lobbyists originally hold positions in the White House—some are clerks or assistants in certain offices, or deputies in certain departments—but this is only their apparent identity. In reality, their daily work at the White House is just to hold a nominal post, so that once the Rothschild family needs to communicate with the highest level, they can directly stand in for the Rothschild family to meet the President.

The President spends most of his working days living inside the White House; the private residential area on the second floor is the current President's first residence. When the President stays overnight in the White House, naturally there are many staff members on night duty there. So when Steve made a phone call, immediately there was an on-duty water guest going to the second-floor private residential area to meet the President.

Recently, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has been as changeable as a three-year-old child's face—one moment crying heartbroken, the next moment bursting into laughter with tears and snot.

People only feel that place is truly troublesome, and the situation is indeed not easy to handle, but in fact this child's crying and laughing entirely depend on America. America is like an invisible big hand: if it wants this child to cry, it pinches him; if it wants him to laugh, it tickles him.

So whether crying or laughing, it entirely depends on America's will. Those at the top of the food chain who want to short, that invisible big hand will tickle the other side into hysterical laughter, oil prices drop, shorts profit; but when those people want to go long, that big hand will also pinch the other side into wailing cries.

When the Rothschild family's lobbyists conveyed Steve's idea to the President, the President almost agreed without even thinking.

He can go long or short; anyway, his external relatives and white gloves can get firsthand information and thus profit handsomely. Since the Rothschild family has a demand, why not raise the market a bit so everyone can make some money, and also give the Rothschild family a favorable connection?

When Ye Chen and Lin Wanan arrived at Harvard University, the Rothschild family's lobbyists had already reached an agreement with the President: in three days, they will launch a new round of attacks to intensify the tension in the Strait of Hormuz. At that time, international oil prices will welcome a round of panic-driven surge.

Meanwhile, the efficiency of the Left Army Governor's Office is also high; Wu Yongzhen divided the funds available for operating this market situation into three parts, preparing to go long on oil in three different fields.

One is to forge fake contracts, selling all the oil produced under his command at the current low price, even pre-selling future production capacity.

This operation is to seize the growth portion that should have been handed over to the Breaking Qing Association.

The specific method is to use his own shell companies to buy the oil ostensibly produced by the Left Army Governor's Office, then first pay for this portion out of his own pocket. Now the oil worth one hundred million might be worth one hundred twenty million in a few days, and that twenty million will fall into his pocket.

Another field is to take the oil about to arrive at port from the Getty family, which can also be sold at high price in just a few days.

The remaining portion he took to the futures market to leverage long on oil. He worries that too large an investment might cause him to be blown out by the manipulators, but if he keeps a low profile and hitches a ride to make money, the risk naturally becomes much smaller.

Three days later, just as Ye Chen was accompanying Lin Wanan in a brief stay at Harvard University, the Strait of Hormuz again triggered conflict; America launched the first airstrike, and Persia very sensibly immediately announced another blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

When this news came out, the oil market that very day immediately began a new round of violent surge.

When Wu Yongzhen saw the news and the oil price chart, his whole person became extremely excited.

Excited, not just because he made a lot of money this time, but more importantly, he knows Rachel Getty will surely become his God of Wealth in the future, bringing him continuous benefits in the days to come.
