The sales of 900,000 calculators is 162 million U.S. dollars.

After deducting the production cost of 35 dollars, plus the foundry fee for 10% of Intel's sales, the remaining 114.3 million dollars.

14.3 million US dollars were left for the factory to make follow-up production funds, and a full 100 million lay in the account.

Looking at UBS, the general manager in California, Li Changheng squinted his eyes and asked, "How much crude oil can you buy for me before the U.S. tax deadline."

"SIR, you, what do you mean, is to buy crude oil spot for 100 million US dollars, not three-month or six-month maturity futures?"

Li Changheng glared at the other party, frowning and said, "If I use several times the leverage to expand my funds to hundreds of millions of dollars to buy crude oil futures, do you think someone has enough crude oil to sell me?

And even if someone actually sells it to me, do you think that after three months, the price of crude oil will be ransacked, or even the United States, or the countries where crude oil is produced in the desert, will suppress the price from 1.8 to 2 US dollars to 1.5 US dollars, or even Price of 1 dollar.

Then swallow my futures contract in one bite, and then drive up the price of crude oil? "

Therefore, Li Changheng never thought about buying crude oil in the form of three-month, six-month, and one-year futures in the New York Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

From the 1960s to the 1970s, the price of crude oil around the world has been maintained at between US$1.8 and US$2.

Such low oil prices have caused the Americans to produce 5 million barrels of crude oil per day in 54 years, plummeting to 1 million barrels in 1967, and then maintaining it until now.

Last year, the United States imported an average of 4.2 million barrels of crude oil per day. According to the highest crude oil price of 2 US dollars per barrel at this time, only US$3.066 billion of oil was imported a year.

In 1973, 6.2 million barrels were imported every day, and the total amount was only 4.5 billion US dollars.

If Li Changheng's crude oil futures contract expands funds to 300 to 500 million US dollars, let alone the New York and Chicago commodity exchange markets, who has the ability to eat this super giant contract.

Even if someone eats it, it can cause crude oil prices to skyrocket in an instant.

The local tyrants of the desert and the oil-producing countries will definitely be ecstatic at first, but the Americans will definitely not hesitate to suppress the price and swallow his 100 million by the way.

Then maybe he could bite a big piece of fat on Intel when Li Changheng was short of funds.

Therefore, leveraged oil speculation is not bad, millions or tens of millions will not be controlled by anyone at all.

However, the US$300 million to US$500 million is not for oil, but for the markets of capital countries such as the United States, England, the island countries, and West Germany.

The consequence of rising oil prices is a rapid increase in production costs, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt, and the number of unemployed personnel rose rapidly. Then there was the domino effect, economic stagnation, and even secondary growth.

In the end, it will in turn affect the consumption of crude oil. Therefore, as long as the desert tyrants are not stupid, they themselves will look at Li Changheng's crude oil futures contract.

Because even if it wants to rise, it has to be in their interests, either by themselves or by being forced by the U.S. government.

And to be honest, whether it is the first ten years or the next few decades, the biggest longs and shorts in the crude oil market are these local tyrants themselves.

Therefore, when Li Changheng buys spot crude oil, he must not buy from large and small bulk cargoes on the market. He can only buy from oil reserves in the United States, or from desert tyrants, as well as from large oil companies in the United States and the United Kingdom.

As long as it is stated in the contract that the crude oil has been stored for two years.

Not to mention 100 million, even if 1 billion US dollars of crude oil, Americans will sell him.

Because this is only a settlement on the books, the oil is still in the reserve, and there are two years to increase purchases, which will not affect the market at all.

When the American makes a difference, he will also charge his storage fee. The two costs add up to easily get 3 to 5 million U.S. dollars.

Even the large oil companies in the United States, England and other countries will rush to trade with him.

In addition, crude oil is not refined gasoline or diesel. It is stored in an underground oil storage depot. The three-year shelf life is still okay.

Because oil depots in various countries are generally replaced every three years.

Only open-air and semi-underground oil tanks and oil depots will be replaced every two years.

And this two-year change means that if crude oil is refined after two years, it will not affect the use.

Not to mention that the engines of cars, trucks, and large ships of this era are not as delicate as engines of decades.

A week later, Li Changheng received his team of lawyers, Vice President Rand Van Gundy of UBS, and more than a dozen local tyrants wearing white robes unique to the desert.

But these real local tyrants, in turn, treat him as a super funder.

Entered the door and bowed to Annie, and then presented a crown with a 76-carat white diamond as the main diamond and surrounded by large and small diamonds as a gift.

At a glance, Li Changheng felt that the crown was worth at least US$4 million.

I thought it was a generous gift, but I didn't expect the local tyrants to give themselves a small dagger studded with red sapphires.

I also solemnly presented a ring with a raised deer head heraldic ring carved out of a ruby ​​ring the size of a thumb fingernail.

Although this pigeon blood ruby ​​is worth about one million dollars, it is not that simple to engrave it in seven days or even less and make it into a heraldic ring.

However, this is actually easy to understand.

For local tyrants, what is crude oil?

Just buried in the ground, and then once the oil well is opened, it will spew out minerals.

Not to mention giving Li Changheng and Annie gifts worth millions of dollars, even if they give 10 million gifts, they are willing.

Because this one-million-dollar order amounts to a surprise.

Otherwise, two desert countries would not come together.

Although they did not compete on their own, they must have allocated their shares before coming.

In front of everyone, Li Changheng read the book www.uukanshu.com and looked at the ring with joy for several minutes, but the desert tyrants were impatient or angry.

On the contrary, the more he looked at it and the longer he looked at it, the more it represented his love for this ring.

In the end, Li Changheng actually put it directly on the ring finger of his left hand, thanking him in desert etiquette and Arabic, "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

When everyone saw that he could speak Arabic, they were happier and said polite words in response.

After walking into the living room and drinking a few cups of very sweet black tea, together with coffee and dessert, the courtesy reception is over.

Li Changheng originally planned to take the local tyrants to the reception room to discuss business.

But he didn't expect Harry Hart, who was in a decent suit, walked over quickly and whispered in his ear.

"SIR, Mr. Taylor, Boeing Vice President, came to visit you with a few people claiming to be the First City Bank."

Li Changheng immediately thought of Citi.
