Rachel nodded and said, “That’s how it should be. They have always paid close attention to the development of the relationship between Robert and I. I even wrote a love diary for them every day so that they would know the specific developments between Robert and I. They also gave a lot of advice and requests.”
Charlie smiled mysteriously and said enigmatically, “Then, when you go home today, you can tell them some of the ‘gossips’ you heard at the dinner table.”
Rachel hurriedly asked Charlie, “Mr. Chen, what confidential information do you have?”
While speaking, Charlie added, “This will give them a sense of urgency that the market will soon peak. If they have crude oil in their hands, they will definitely try everything to take advantage of this opportunity to sell it. At that time, they will definitely send their employees to meet you again.”
Charlie originally planned for the Rothschilds to manipulate the price of crude oil, first raise the price, and then attract the attention of the Governor’s Office of the Left Army to intervene.
However, upon closer inspection, the upward movement takes time and is not strong enough.
Since the goal is to lure the snake out of its hole, there is no need to actually throw the bait. Making fake bait is actually faster than setting up real bait.
Moreover, everyone in business is obsessed with insider trading, from small stock market investors to CEOs of listed companies, private equity fund managers, and even giant conglomerates. They are all interested in insider trading. Receiving accurate signals ahead of time could potentially result in hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in profits for them. If Rachel heard the news from the heir of the Rothschild family, it would be very credible for the people in the Left Army Commander’s Office.
In addition, this kind of rhetoric creates a sense of urgency for them, showing that opportunities can come at any time and will pass so quickly. If they are even the slightest bit slow, they will miss their opportunity and be forced to sell at a low price.
Crude oil is different from other commodities; You can’t overstock them, especially since they have been reporting their production lower than it actually is. Hoarding them would make things even more difficult, so they would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to sell their reserves quickly, the sooner the better. They might even provide the information tonight, and the other party might take action before dawn.
Rachel nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes, Mr. Chen, don’t worry, I will report to the Left Army Commander’s Office as you said when I go back today.”
Maria, who was standing on the side, asked Charlie, “Brother, what if the Left Army Commander’s Office finds out later that it was fake news? Will they be suspicious?”
Charlie glanced at Rachel who was sitting across from him. Although Rachel’s expression showed a hint of tension, she was clearly holding back. He was probably also worried that the Left Army Governor’s Office would hold him accountable later. Even if he could use an excuse like the Rothschild family changing their minds at the last minute to cover it up, the fact was that the information was inaccurate, and the Left Army Governor’s Office would definitely take issue with it.
However, he also had his own thoughts. He felt that he had just promised Charlie to stick to it, and if he immediately showed concern or worry, it would definitely lower Charlie’s impression of him.
Charlie, who was reminded by Maria, was also considering this issue.
His main motivation was to use this false information to lure people from the Left Army Command to reveal themselves. It could be said that if everything went according to plan, this goal would definitely be achieved. However, Maria’s words made him realize that if he could provide a better ending to this matter, there would be better long-term effects.
In other words, it is necessary not only to lure the snake out of its hole, but also to ensure that the snake actually eats the bait.
In this way, Rachel’s influence and credibility would be greater before the Office of the Supreme Commander of the Left Army, which would certainly be beneficial in the future.
Thinking of this, Charlie smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence that the heir of the Rothschild family is here. This time, let’s test Steve’s ability and see if he can raise oil prices by secretly influencing the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, as I asked!”
