    Compass was speechless.

    At the end of July, after Xiao Qi¡¯s visit to the United States, Citibank¡¯s Wade once said these words of Xiao Qi at a party.

    At that time, people regarded it as a joke, because it was impossible for oil prices to plummet so drastically, especially in today's era of inflation, it was simply impossible!

    However, nearly two months have passed, and the facts have hit everyone in the cheek with an iron fist one after another.

    Since the oil price fell below the psychological level of 60 US dollars in early September, the oil price has been falling continuously in the past ten days. Although the drop is not huge, it is falling by more than ten cents or dozens of cents every day.  The occasional rebound has never reached more than one dollar, which really breaks the hearts of American oil futures practitioners.

    The current oil price is only 54 US dollars, which can be said to be an inch away from the lowest psychological bottom line of 50 US dollars for all oil futures traders.

    In recent years, everyone has a consensus that if the oil futures price can be above 70, it means that the economy is barely operating normally; if it is between 60 and 70, then it is worth being vigilant, and the economy is likely to fall into weakness; if  If it falls below 60 in one breath, the economy will undoubtedly enter stagnation; if it falls further and falls below 50, a global financial crisis will almost come!

    Now the oil price is 54, and everyone is so nervous. If it really reaches the 30 US dollars that Xiao Qi said, I don¡¯t know how many people will be unlucky, and how big the global economy will be.

    "Haha, Mr. Xiao's words are serious." Compass chewed beef in his mouth and his mind was spinning rapidly: "30 US dollars is a price that neither OPEC nor the United States will allow. In fact, we feel that by the end of the year,  As major companies change their expectations for oil consumption next year, it should lead to an increase in oil prices.¡±

    Xiao Qi smiled faintly and started eating.

    His failure to respond made it impossible to use the series of counterattack methods that Compas had planned, and it felt like he had nowhere to go.

    Even though Xiao Qi¡¯s sense of smell is very sensitive, Compas is sure that this young man¡¯s foundation in oil futures is definitely not as good as his own.

    ¡° If this discussion were to begin, he would be very confident that he could deceive Xiao Qi into the circle and ultimately achieve a series of goals.

    such a pity.

    Xiao Qi was not fooled at all, which made Compas become more and more afraid of Xiao Qi.

    Five minutes later, Compass was re-planning his plan, but he still did not dare to speak in advance.

    Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Qi took a sip of his drink and turned the topic to another aspect, "By the way, is Mr. Compass here this time to terminate the gambling agreement in advance?"

    "Oh, yes." Compass reacted very quickly and nodded slightly: "Mr. Xiao, we at Merrill Lynch feel that we have lost this bet and are willing to settle with you in advance. Congratulations on winning this  The victory of the bet."

    When he said this, Compas's face was burning with pain.

    Because of this incident, Danze from the Investment Management Department went home early to eat on his own.

    With the feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died, Compass felt for the first time that Merrill Lynch was being severely cheated even in the place where he was best. It seemed that there were so many smart people in the world.

    "There is no problem with early settlement." Xiao Qi ate the mutton chops and asked vaguely: "But under what conditions and at what price are you going to settle in advance?"

    "ADI's wireless communications department naturally belongs to you. As for the amount of the bet, when you sign the agreement, the settlement will be based on the average price of the day. In this regard, we are very rule-abiding. Please don't worry, Mr. Xiao."  Compass also thought that Xiao Qi was worried that they were playing tricks in this regard, and he also formally demonstrated the excellent reputation of a major international investment bank in this regard.

    "The average price of the day?" Xiao Qi laughed dumbly: "I already know that oil prices will continue to fall. There are still three months until the end of the year. Why don't I make a little more and have to settle now?"

    Compass, who was hailed as the candidate for the next deputy general manager and director, took a breath of air-conditioning when he heard this: "Mr. Xiao means"

    Looking at him, Xiao Qi said calmly: "I said 25 US dollars, but you are definitely not willing, so let's calculate it as a conservative 30 US dollars, and ADI's wireless communication department will also belong to me."

    "impossible!!"

    Compass stood up suddenly, causing all the knives and forks beside him to fall to the ground.

    The four foreign men next to them had been watching this side and were very nervous when they saw this. They knew that something was wrong with the negotiation, but this was not a group fight, so they couldn't rush over to help.

    It¡¯s past 12 noon now, come hereThere were a lot of people dining, and suddenly they saw a foreigner shouting "impossible" with a red face. Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Compas.

    There is usually very little noise in a western restaurant, and with Compass¡¯s roar, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.

    Being watched by so many people, if it were normal times, Compass would bow and apologize in a gentlemanly manner, but now he only has anger and cannot see anything else.

    An old foreign man in his fifties, with a nameplate of "Manager" hanging on his chest, came up and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you need help?"

    "Oh, no need, I'm sorry!" Compas took a deep breath and said with a smile.

    ¡°Then let me change a set of tableware for you.¡± The manager smiled, turned and left.

    What he wanted to determine was whether the two were going to fight. Since it was just a normal quarrel, it would not affect the normal operation of the restaurant.

    On the other side of the girl's table, the boys and girls also noticed Compas's anger. Naturally, Yan Shanchong and Guan You took advantage of revealing themselves and criticized Xiao Qi a few words.

    But the ethereal and tender girl felt proud in her heart: Xiao Qi is truly a genius with everyone¡¯s style for being able to force foreigners to do this!

    Sitting down again, Compas¡¯s face had calmed down.

    It¡¯s not that he can¡¯t help but be angry, but because he has never met such a Chinese person.

    Usually, it was companies from China that went to Merrill Lynch, and their attentive attitude made Compass look down on the Chinese people in his heart. Suddenly, someone as tough and arrogant as Xiao Qi came here, and he was almost overwhelmed.  Not adaptable at all.

    But he was an extraordinary person after all. He held back his anger and looked apologetic to Xiao Qi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I was too impulsive."

    "It's okay, losers have the right to vent their emotions."

    Xiao Qi's words almost made Compas go berserk again. He clenched his fists and said to himself again and again: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he just wants to see you so angry that you lose your mind, Qian  Don¡¯t be fooled!¡± (To be continued.
