On Wednesday, August 1, 1990, Wharton Insurance Company welcomed several special guests. At 7 o'clock in the morning, Tong Gang and Li Chengru rushed to the company, but Zhou Ming had already been waiting here. In addition to Lin Muqing, there was also a Northern Russian man named Ilbedov. The richest man in Northern Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union controls the United Bank and automobile companies of Northern Russia.

Ilbedov also called Brighton by Zhou Ming. After all, he had a trillion yuan in his hands. Faced with this Gulf War that would inevitably break out, wouldn’t it be too stupid to invest only a few hundred million yuan and put other money into the bank? Therefore, Zhou Ming must mobilize the capital he can control as much as possible, even if this matter may be unexpected. Ilbedov was sent by Karelina to be the representative of himself and the Northern Russian financial oligarchs.

When Zhou Ming saw Tong Gang and Li Cheng arrive, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Chairman Tong, Brother Li, you are here. This is Mr. Ilbedov from Northern Russia. It has been more than a week since he arrived in Brighton. I believe I don't need to introduce it any more."

Indeed, Ilbedov arrived in Brighton very early, which was what Zhou Ming asked for. The reason was very simple, that was that he was worried that the situation in the bay would change.

Zhou Ming is no longer an ordinary person before he was reborn. He knows that the war in the Bay is not an accident, but a war controlled by overseas capital. One of the leaders is the Brighton Consortium.

Now that he has offended the core member of the Adams family, he also asked Caitlin, the implementer of the Bay Plan, to retaliate against him. Although Zhou Ming does not believe that the Brighton Consortium will change such an important plan at will because of the love, hate and affection of a child. At the same time, Caitlin is also unwilling to help him out of his own self-esteem, but Zhou Ming still cannot put all his treasures on their IQ. What if something happens?

No matter how impossible this matter is, Zhou Ming has no need to gamble. Besides, there is nothing wrong with preparing early.

In this way, Zhou Ming called Ilbedov from Northern Russia a week ago. Originally, Karelina was going to come with her, but Zhou Ming thought that the situation in Northern Russia had not yet been decided. In addition, Lin Muqing was here. If Karelina came here again, if something went wrong, she would be the one who was in trouble in the end. Therefore, Zhou Ming had to ask her not to come here first. It was more important for Northern Russia.

However, the facts prove that low-probability events are always low-probability events. A person's personality and IQ will never affect most people, especially when this person is not in power.

During the week when Ilbedov came to Brighton, the Gulf had nothing to do to him except Iraq to continue to conduct border troops and put pressure on Kuwait. The negotiations continued, the active mediation of the United States and the Arab League, and the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait were also continued. All stories happened on the right track he should be on until July 30th.

After a week of worry, it was finally time to get a critical moment. Zhou Ming could relax, but Zhou Ming didn't have this idea, but instead became even more nervous.

Tong Gang came over and nodded and smiled to Ilbedov and asked him hello, then asked Zhou Ming directly: "Brother Zhou Ming, what happened to you called us here so early today?"

In the past week, the contract between Zhou Ming and Tong Gang and Li Cheng has been signed. Although the terms of the terms of Zhou Ming and Tong Gang and Li Cheng to Zhou Ming are still very loose, the current contract is already very strict compared to before, at least there are no ambiguous terms, and all terms that may have differences have been explained. Now, even lawyer Alan can't find any problems with this contract.

Zhou Ming did not directly answer Tong Gang's question, but pressed the remote control a few times. Tong Gang and Li Cheng then found that a large color TV was on the desk in the office, and the volume of the TV gradually increased with Zhou Ming's control.

"Good morning for all viewers. Thank you very much for watching the news on time. According to the latest news received by our station this morning, at 4 pm Kuwait time, the fourth round of negotiations on the border issue of Iraq and Kuwait failed. The US special envoy expressed regret for this, and said that the United States will still actively pay attention to the situation in the Gulf..."

Listening to the news that the beautiful female announcer broadcasted with her beautiful voice on TV, Tong Gang and Li Chengdu frowned, obviously remembering something. Li Cheng turned around and asked, "Brother Zhou Ming, are you showing us this news? Are you trying to say that the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait will fail and the Gulf War will break out soon?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, and Li Cheng said again: "But don't you think this is a bit too hasty? Do you think Iraq will start a war immediately after the negotiations are shattered?"

"If this was in another country, or if the Iraqi system was not decided by the president, I would believe that even if Iraq wanted to retaliate against Kuwait with war, the war would not begin immediately, but it is very possible for Iraq today." Zhou Ming added, "especially when all this is still manipulated by capital."

Li Cheng wanted to ask something, but this time Tong Gang asked first: "So brother Zhou Ming, when do you think the war will break out? Do you think it will break out within today?"

"As a country that has only ended the eight-year war, they have rich combat experience. If my estimate is correct, they will launch an attack at 1:00 a.m. when people are most tired, that is, around 5:00 p.m. in Brighton time, just today!" Zhou Ming said with certainty.

"So we must enter the futures market immediately, short all crude oil futures, and wait for a war that may break out at any time, right?" Tong Gang asked.

Regarding the answer to this question, Tong Gang and Li Chengdu thought Zhou Ming would only nod, but they did not expect that Zhou Ming actually gave another answer that they could not imagine.

"There will be some foreplay before every big show starts, so I believe the same is true for the Bay Plan. So I don't think that just one negotiation breaks down will cause a big shock to the international crude oil futures market. For some reasons, I think international crude oil prices may rise a little." Zhou Ming replied.

This answer shocked Tong Gang and Li Chengdu. They subconsciously turned their attention to Lin Muqing, the chairman of the fund company. Lin Muqing nodded to them with a smile. Only then did they remember the relationship between Lin Muqing and Zhou Ming.

Should you trust them?

This is what Tong Gang and Li Cheng thought. This is not out of any distrust, because if they do not trust, they will directly reject Zhou Ming's ideas and will not have such doubts. Now they think like this, it is nothing more than Zhou Ming's reason that is too shocking, which makes them have to think more.

However, at this time, whether it was the puzzled Tong Gang and Li Cheng, or Lin Muqing who unconditionally supported Zhou Ming, they did not expect that something else was happening in a castle-style villa north of Brighton.

This villa is the property of the Adams family. Caitlyn, the princess of the Royal Harrusburg, was directing the Bay Plan in the study. Although this room is called a study, the area here is actually quite large, as big as half a basketball court. However, in addition to bookshelf, there are also several tables in this room, which fills the entire room.

Caitlin sat under the windowsill, and the sun shone in behind her, setting her up like a proud queen. On the table in front of her were several dedicated telephones and a latest LCD TV that only existed in the laboratory and not sold to the public. The TV was playing news; on the other tables in the room, there were a group of busy accountants.

The only disharmonious thing in the whole room was Robert Adams, who was sitting at the door yawning and cursing.

"Damn it, wouldn't I let the Iraqi pigs slow down if I had to get up so early?" Robert murmured.

Caitlin frowned in dissatisfaction with this, but in the end she said nothing because she knew very well that nothing would be useful for what she said.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, and when the news of the breakdown of the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on LCD TV came out, Robert immediately jumped up happily and said to Caitlin: "Dear Lady Harrusburg, the most important news has come out now. We can start taking action immediately, right? Give that Chinese a little unexpected foreplay and make him lose a lot of money!"

Caitlin's brows frowned even deeper. She felt that she would not have to worry about any day after she arrived in Brighton, especially now she had to face such a childish person as Robert.

The good royal cultivation supported Caitlin and did not get angry. She just took a deep breath to calm her mood and asked: "Robert, are you sure you want to do this? Strictly speaking, this is a violation of the Bay Plan. I don't promise that I will cause anything outside the plan. Besides, Mr. Adams would not agree. You know the Bay Plan..."

Before Caitlyn finished her words, she was interrupted very savagely by Robert: "I said Miss Caitlyn, you wouldn't think that if I call you a princess, you will become a princess, right?"

Robert smiled very contemptuously and continued to Caitlin: "My Princess, do you know that my surname is Adams, and I am also the direct successor of the family. I also have control over the Gulf Plan."

"And," Robert pointed at Caitlyn, "Don't warn me of my father, because this is something that makes me hate the most unless you want to annoy me. I can tell you that I am a very impulsive person. If you really make me angry, I can't guarantee that I will do anything, even if your royal family still exists."

Facing Robert's aggressive words, Caitlin felt very wronged, but even so, she still gritted her teeth and refused to let herself cry.

Robert looked at Caitlyn, but laughed happily: "Why are you very unconvinced? Then you can come and beat me and scold me or kill me with a knife, but you don't think about your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters, and your family."

"Don't always threaten me with these words!" Caitlin said loudly.

Robert was startled by Caitlin's sudden outburst. Then he felt that he had lost someone in front of the woman. He quickly stepped forward and slapped her table with two steps, and angrily said, "Don't yell in front of me, do your thing quickly. I am not your fiancé. I don't want to care about what you think. I just want to tell you that if you don't do the task I give you, I will be angry, I promise."

Caitlin almost bit her silver teeth. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, and finally compromised and said, "I understand, I will do it."

"That's right. You said that wouldn't it be better if you had cooperated like this earlier?"

Robert said with satisfaction that he reached out to pat Caitlin's delicate little face, but Caitlin raised his hand and opened it.

Caitlin looked at Robert with anger without fear and said word by word: "I still want to tell you that I am the proud princess of Harrusburg, not your retainer. I will do what I have today, but I will keep it all in my work log. If there are any other problems, it has nothing to do with me."
