Chapter 1467 Collective Protection Zhou Ming
Even the futures commodity was shorted to a negative price, which was a shocking event wherever it was placed. However, the day after Zhou Ming shorted Minnesota wheat to a negative price, he found that the news seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no media reported it.
This surprised countless investors. They even suspected that they had a bizarre dream?
Of course, Zhou Ming knew why, but in the final analysis, someone blocked the news behind the scenes.
Because early the next morning, Zhou Ming received calls from Gantt and other media giants, and they all apologized to themselves on the phone, saying that they received a call from the White House yesterday, asking them not to broadcast news about Minnesota wheat being shorted and about Zhou Ming in any form.
Of course, the White House’s reasons are also very high-sounding, which endangers the stability of food futures prices and endangers national security.
"You know, this time Minnesota wheat was shorted to negative prices, how unprecedented it is. If possible, I really want to report it on the whole channel, but it is impossible, because the warning given to us by the White House is very serious, and we can't do what we want to do..."
Gant tried his best to explain to Zhou Ming on the phone, afraid that Zhou Ming would misunderstand something.
Although the media and Zhou Ming have little to do with each other, in theory, he doesn't have to give Zhou Ming face at all, but it seems that the Kaki Group and the Wallace family thought so before, and the story of Minnesota wheat being shorted now.
I feel that Zhou Ming can always attack you from an inexplicable perspective, even Gantt is afraid, so he cannot explain it. It is not that he can explain things clearly, but at least he must express his attitude and cannot give Zhou Ming any unpleasant opportunities.
But Gantt really misunderstood. In fact, Zhou Ming was not angry and even laughed a little.
Zhou Ming has always been thinking of making a fortune in a quiet voice. This time, there is nothing he can do. In fact, it still violates his low-key principle. Zhou Ming also discussed with Caitlin how to minimize the impact of his own affairs.
Zhou Ming didn't expect that he had not come up with any suitable countermeasures, but found that the White House had done it first.
This is a magical assist!
He was secretly happy in his heart, but Zhou Ming still had to continue to do his superficial skills. First of all, Zhou Ming felt very sorry for this matter and said that it was a pity that this matter could not be on the news. It should have been a very powerful thing. At the same time, Zhou Ming also comforted Gantt, saying that he trusted and cooperated with him, and understood that this matter must be done by the White House in the future, and promised that he would not take his anger on him because of this matter.
Gantt was relieved now, and Gantt also repeatedly told Zhou Ming that he also made a profit from the short selling of Minnesota wheat, so his cooperation with Zhou Ming must be very solid.
After politely speaking with Gant, he hung up the phone, but soon Zhou Ming received another call, someone Zhou Ming did not expect.
"Director Muller, I didn't expect to receive your call. This surprised me!"
Zhou Ming paused and then asked, "Has the FBI done anything recently?"
The call came from the FBI's San Francisco Secret Service Director Mueller. It was Zhou Ming's first time dealing with American law enforcement agencies.
This is a deeper impression.
However, despite his impression, Zhou Ming also knew very well that with his relationship with Director Muller, he would never call him on his own initiative. So now his call can only be the FBI's plan to take action. He has ideas to communicate with him first.
This is true. Faced with Zhou Ming’s problem, Mueller did not tilt around the bush and said directly: “There is an order from above, but the FBI needs certain preparations. I am here to inform you not to make unnecessary resistance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”
After Mueller said this, he hung up the phone, leaving Zhou Ming very helpless on the phone: Are you so arrogant?
Zhou Ming certainly understood the meaning of Mueller's call. He was informing himself. After all, with the experience of the last time, Mueller is now very troubled by such a case that concerns him.
He could not disobey the orders of his superiors, but he did not want to be a victim, so he could only choose to notify himself that as long as he solved the problem through his own relationship, he would naturally have nothing to do. On the contrary, if he could not solve the problem through his own relationship, then he would have less trouble when he took action... at least he would not have caught people like last time, and the governor and presidential pardon orders were around.
Of course this does not conform to the spirit of the FBI, but this is not a pure legal issue, right?
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming immediately called Ambassador Han Zhen and told him about the FBI.
Han Zhen was not surprised by this. He told Zhou Ming that just after learning that Zhou Ming had successfully shorted Minnesota wheat to a negative price in China, the No. 1 Chief personally called him to ask him to be careful of the US's revenge.
Han Zhen reassured Zhou Ming for this, and he was ready.
Although Han Zhen said this, after finishing Han Zhen’s call, Zhou Ming still called Piero and Freeman again, and also passed on Mueller’s words to them.
"I don't know what happened, so I need your help to figure this out," said Zhou Ming.
This is not that Zhou Ming does not trust Han Zhen, but that he has many people and is very powerful, so he does not put eggs in one basket.
Facts proved that Zhou Ming was right. Just after Zhou Ming dialed his phone, Han Zhen first requested to meet with US President Wellington, but was rejected. The President's Office told Han Zhen: The president is busy with state affairs for the time being, and if the ambassador needs to meet, it can be postponed for a few days.
There is no doubt that Wellington also guessed that once Zhou Ming received the information, he would definitely notify the embassy, so he was also prepared.
However, Wellington could not defend Han Zhen, but everyone.
After Han Zhen, lobbying groups from Morgan and Rockefeller and other wealthy families arrived at the White House one after another, scrambling to ask President Wellington about Zhou Ming.
These damn capitalists!
Wellington cursed in his heart. It was not that he didn't know the cooperative relationship between Morgan Rockefeller and Zhou Ming, but he only believed that cooperation was still a bottom line. However, he didn't expect that they could be so willing to be the Chinese lackeys, and there was no honor at all.
Wellington can also deal with these lobby groups with national security at the beginning, but everyone is an American elite. Everyone may have more time to chat in the White House than some "old friends". So under the all-round bombing of these lobby groups, Wei
Lington gradually couldn't hold back.
"You bastards, what are you doing? I have told you that Zhou Ming is a terrorist who endangers our American national security. Why do you help him like this? Are you all his salary? Are you all treason?" Wellington suddenly got angry.
The lobbyists were startled at first, but soon reacted. They in turn accused Wellington of being abusing his power and accused Wellington of retaliating against Zhou Ming, which was a very despicable act.
Just kidding, everyone is playing politics, who are you giving me a hat?
Don’t say that you are just a president who is about to get out. Even if you have just taken office and have the support of the capital consortium behind it, the lobby will dare to argue.
These words made Wellington tremble all over his body. Wellington still told himself to calm down. He also tried to say that Zhou Ming was attacking the American capital consortium, now Minnesota wheat, and the next step was steel, oil and electricity. Anything could become his tool and weapon for making money.
The lobbyists did not eat soft and hard food. They told Wellington that Minnesota wheat is a pure market behavior, which is that the current market demand for wheat is not high. Coupled with the spontaneous behavior of some markets, it eventually led to the short behavior of Minnesota wheat, which has not had much deep connection with Zhou Ming.
Listening to the lobbying groups, even though Wellington had been practicing as president for a long time, he was still furious by these guys' shamelessness.
Of course, if we were just these lobby groups, Wellington could still hold on. After all, lobby groups from various capital families are also regular visitors to the White House, so Wellington didn't care too much.
But later, when he became his aide in the White House and the senior officials he nominated, he joined the lobbying team one by one, which made Wellington unable to withstand it.
The reason is very simple. Wellington is already the second term anyway, so the lobby groups of major wealthy families can take out very few bargains, but their staff and cabinet officials are different. They control various departments of power and have real power. Even compared to their four-year campaigners, these "old political people" are far more influential than themselves.
It can be said that if everyone really breaks out, the president is likely to fail to leave the White House. Or if someone here deliberately causes something or submits some scandal to the opposition party, the president may be in danger of being safe in the later years.
"Mr. President, we don't know what holidays you have with Mr. Zhou Ming, but we do not think that personal personal emotions should be brought into the national strategy. This is what you have been telling us for the past seven years. We also respect this idea very much. We hope you can stick to it in the end!"
This sentence has been said very heavily. They even began to doubt President Wellington's starting point, not only moved out of the national strategy that Wellington had always advocated, but even reminded Wellington that it was his last year of presidential time.
But no matter what, these people's attitudes have been clearly understood.
Wellington was so angry that he had no choice. He pointed at these lobby groups and scolded them for betraying the scumbags who betrayed the motherland. He was ashamed to be with these guys. He also reminded these people: "Zhou Ming is the biggest enemy of our United States and even the consortiums behind you. You will definitely regret your choice today!"
