Charlie smiled and said,
βYou justβ¦ β
βWhen Steve was chatting with Robert,β
βHe casually mentioned that the Routhchild family was planning to have the US President further escalate the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz,β
βHoping to drive up oil prices by increasing the situation.β
βTheir main goal was to push oil prices to a new high,β
βThen sell off their holdings.β
βAfter this surge, they planned to push for bilateral negotiations in the Strait of Hormuz,β
βAt which point policies would loosen,β
βAnd oil prices would plummet.β
βThe Routhchild family planned to suspend sales during this price drop.β
βAnd stockpile oil to prepare for the next peak.β
Charlie continued,
βThis would give them a sense of urgency that the market is about to peak.β
βIf they have oil in hand,β
βThey will definitely try every means to seize this opportunity to sell.β
βThey will inevitably send their envoys to meet with you again.β
Charlie had originally planned to have the Routhchild family manipulate oil prices,
βFirst driving them up,β
βAnd then attracting the Left Army Commanderβs intervention.
However, upon closer inspection,
He realized that raising prices would take time and wouldnβt be as effective.
Since the goal is to lure the snake out of its hole,
Itβs not necessarily about actually throwing out bait.
Creating a fake bait is often faster than preparing a real one.
Moreover, everyone in business is obsessed with insider trading,
From small-time stock market investors to CEOs of listed companies,
Receiving an accurate signal in advance can generate hundreds of millions, or even billions, of dollars in profit.
If Rachel heard the information from a Routhchild family heir,
It would be highly credible to the Left Army Commanderβs Office.
Furthermore, such information would create a sense of urgency,
A feeling that the market could move at any moment,
And that the opportunity would be fleeting.
If they were even slightly slow,
They would miss the chance and be forced to sell at a low price.
Crude oil is different from other commodities.
It canβt be stockpiled in large quantities,
Especially since their production figures are underreported.
Therefore, they will definitely seize this opportunity to sell quickly,
The faster the better.
Perhaps if the information is given out tonight,
The other party will take action before dawn.
Rachel nodded without hesitation, saying,
βYes, Mr. Chen, donβt worry,β
βI will report to the Left Army Commanderβs Office as you instructed when I get back.β
Maria, standing beside him, asked Charlie,
βBrother, what if the Left Army Commanderβs Office finds out it was false information later?β
βWill they become suspicious?β
Charlie glanced at Rachel.
Although her expression was somewhat tense,
She was clearly restraining herself.
She was probably also worried that the Left Army Commanderβs Office would retaliate later.
Even if she could use excuses like the Routhchild family changing their minds at the last minute to cover it up,
The fact remained: This information was inaccurate,
And the Left Army Commanderβs Office would definitely have a problem with him.
However, she also had her own thoughts.
She felt that she had just promised Charlie to be obedient to him,
And if she immediately showed worry or concern,
It would definitely lower Charlieβs impression of her.
Charlie, reminded by Maria, was also considering this issue. His primary motivation was to use this false information to lure the Left Army Governorβs Office out.
His primary motivation was to use this false information to lure the Left Army Governorβs Office out.
If things proceeded as planned,
This objective would certainly be achieved.
However, Mariaβs words made him realize that a better ending would create a more significant long-term effect.
In other words, he needed to not only lure the snake out of its hole.
But also ensure it actually took the bait.
This would give Rachel greater influence and credibility in front of the Left Army Governorβs Office,
Which would undoubtedly be beneficial in the future.
Thinking of this, Charlie smiled and said,
βIt just so happens that the Routhchild family heir is here.β
βThis time, letβs test Steveβs capabilities and see if he can.β
βAs I request, secretly manipulate the situation in the Strait of Hormuz to raise oil prices!β
