Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 495: Real Wealth

Only a few people know Lu Shaohua's true identity and wealth. Even his closest relatives, including his parents, don't know. They only know that he is very rich, but how rich he is is still a mystery.

To put it bluntly, no one knows Lu Shaohua's entire wealth except him. Even Liu Mingzhang, who manages the company's finances, doesn't know, because he only knows the financial situation of Phoenix Group in Hong Kong. As for how much wealth is in other places, even Liu Mingzhang doesn't know.

Yes, Liu Mingzhang didn't know either. You know, he manages the finances of Phoenix Group. If even he doesn't know, how could others know? The answer is obvious, no one else can know.

It was precisely because they didn't know that Lu Shaohua's three aunts were shocked. Then they recalled that Lu Shaohua gave each of them a villa when they got married. Everything became clear to them, and they understood why their husbands accepted it without even saying anything.

Villas worth over a million were given away just like that, and three of them were given away at once. Such a huge gift made the three of them, who were not members of the Lu family but were members of the Lu family, feel surprised. Until now, they finally understood that for a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 billion US dollars (on the surface), a few million is really just a drop in the bucket.

Lu Shaohua is their nephew, and they are also benefiting from their nephew's great ability. Normally, they basically don't call Lu Shaohua, but now they dialed that series of unfamiliar numbers, just wanting to hear Lu Shaohua's voice and ask about the situation.

But as soon as they asked, Lu Shaohua got a headache. He didn't know how to explain it, and could only make up some excuses to get away with it.

Even though he was evasive, Lu Shaohua had to spend a long time trying. After all, there were three aunts, which meant three phone calls. Lu Shaohua was the younger one, so it would not be good to hang up the phone after saying a few words. He could only explain patiently.

Of course, Lu Shaohua also knew that his three aunts were not vain people, otherwise, Lu Shaohua would never care about them. It turned out to be very simple. Vain people are often the ones who do the worst. Lu Shaohua was born in the Lu family, and he would never allow any insects to appear in the Lu family.

However, after receiving calls from the three aunts, Lu Shaohua suddenly became a little confused. He couldn't even count how much property he had.

"More than four hundred and twenty billion dollars?"

No, now Lu Shaohua's wealth has far exceeded this number. This number was earned by Lu Shaohua in the Japanese stock market crash. More than five years have passed since then. Although he has been investing since then, the returns have been a drop in the bucket, as if Phoenix Group has been losing money all the time. But who could have expected that it was precisely because of the continuous investment that Phoenix Group has reached its current scale.

Lu Shaohua's assets are currently in three places, one is the Hong Kong Phoenix Group, another is the Shenzhen Phoenix Group, and the other is the Tiger Roar Base in Africa. Lu Shaohua's total investment in the Shenzhen Phoenix Group exceeds 100 billion US dollars, and the Hong Kong Phoenix Group has also invested nearly 100 billion US dollars in order to open up the international market.

However, the investment in these two places is far less than that in the Tiger Roar Base in Africa. The initial estimate of the investment in the Tiger Roar Base alone is at least more than 200 billion US dollars. Yes, at least 200 billion US dollars, which is the sum of the investment in the other two places.

Lu Shaohua had a very good memory. He remembered that he personally called Liu Mingzhang to ask him to transfer money more than four times, and each time it was a grant of hundreds of billions of dollars. The investment in those few times alone exceeded 100 billion yuan. This did not include the money that Li Zhijie and others contacted Liu Mingzhang for. If it were counted, if it was counted, the investment would definitely exceed 200 billion US dollars.

Doing business and starting a company are the same. There is no return without investment. Lu Shaohua has invested and now he has received a return. The Phoenix Group in Shenzhen and the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong have merged and ranked 37th in the world. This is only the surface market value. If the funds flowing in Phoenix Financial are included, then there will be no problem in ranking first in the world.

But then again, even if the Phoenix Groups in Shenzhen and Hong Kong were combined, they could not defeat the Tiger Roar Base in Africa. This is beyond doubt. The amount of crude oil stored in Africa alone is enough to match the combined amount of the two Phoenix Groups. Just imagine what a terrifying existence that is.

This does not include the military technology in the secret base. If it is included, Lu Shaohua's current wealth will at least increase tenfold, no, a hundredfold, no, more than a thousandfold. If Lu Shaohua is willing, he can sell all the military technology in the secret base and increase his wealth a thousandfold. However, Lu Shaohua has never thought of selling military technology. Those things are his foundation and he will never sell them.

The technology will not be sold, but the assets of the Tiger Roar Base in Africa are far more than those of the Phoenix Group. You should know that in the Chinese region, the Tiger Roar Base owns many oil fields!

Last time, Lu Shaohua launched the oil plan. Since then, the arms business began, providing a large amount of funds to the Huxiao Base, which was then used to purchase oil fields, and several oil fields were acquired.

Of course, it is impossible to get a large oil field. The most that can be obtained are some small and medium-sized oil fields. There are very few medium-sized oil fields. According to Li Zhijie's report, the Huxiao Base now owns as many as thirteen oil fields.

These thirteen also include several that are being mined by the Soviet Union. The others are located in other countries in the Middle East, where they are organizing manpower and preparing to start mining, and then transport the crude oil to Africa for storage.

Thirteen oil fields may not seem like a large number, but oil is limited after all. Thirteen is already a lot, but this number is far from satisfying Lu Shaohua's appetite. He wants the maximum value.

It means the maximum value, purchasing to the limit, that is to say, buy as many oil fields as possible, the more the better.

Li Zhijie and the others also knew Lu Shaohua's idea. In addition, Lu Shaohua turned the arms business to Europe, so they understood Lu Shaohua's meaning even more. He simply wanted to make more money from the arms business and then invest it in purchasing oil fields.

This is what Lu Shaohua meant. With the current scale of Phoenix Group, the shell of the economic empire has been established. The next thing is to fulfill his higher-level dream and control the oil market.

For Lu Shaohua, a reborn person, the future trend of oil prices is very clear. Especially after the United States attacked Iraq, the price of oil in the international market continued to rise and reached its peak.

And if by that time, Lu Shaohua had huge oil reserves, what would the result be?

Even a three-year-old child knows that by that time, Lu Shaohua will become a wealthy man who can control the oil market.

Of course, this also has prerequisites and there are many unstable factors. It is also quite difficult to realize one's plan. However, Lu Shaohua is not afraid. What he is least afraid of is challenges.

He took a long breath and shook his head vigorously to stop himself from thinking too much. He stood up from the sofa, went straight back to his room, took a shower, got into bed, and fell into a sound sleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Lu Shaohua got up, had breakfast, and then went out by car. The destination this time was very obvious, which was his unoccupied home, an extremely luxurious residential area for the rich.

There are a total of 32 villas in the entire wealthy community, two of which are of very high-end grade, and the fourth is of the highest grade. The highest grade villa is priced at 378 million Hong Kong dollars, which is currently the most expensive room in Hong Kong.

After a 50% discount on the HK$378 million and one-half of it, there would only be over HK$90 million left, which was just a small amount of money for Lu Shaohua. All he wanted was a comfortable place to live.

But when Lu Shaohua entered the villa, the result came out. From his eyes, it can be seen that he likes the style of this villa very much. He nodded and said to He Qiang beside him while walking inside. "Call Mingzhang and ask him to arrange someone to clean it up, and go buy some furniture in the afternoon and decorate it well."

"Okay." He Qiang nodded and went to make a phone call.

The style of the villa is very classical, which is exactly what Lu Shaohua likes. After wandering around the villa for nearly two hours, Lu Shaohua returned to the hall, looked at the time, and found that it was almost noon. He left reluctantly and went to find a place to have lunch.

After lunch, Lu Shaohua started shopping. The villa might be his long-term residence in Hong Kong in the future, so Lu Shaohua couldn't help but decorate it better. However, when choosing furniture, Lu Shaohua became embarrassed.

The style of the villa itself is more classical, so when buying furniture, it is natural to match the style. However, there are not many classical furniture on the market, and the workmanship and materials are difficult to meet Lu Shaohua's requirements. So, Lu Shaohua took four people to the furniture market for nearly three hours before finally deciding on one, and he was very tired.

In addition to the furniture, the surveillance outside the villa also needs to be rearranged and the equipment needs to be purchased again. However, Lu Shaohua does not need to worry about these. With He Qiang and the others around, Lu Shaohua does not need to intervene and only needs to pay the bill.

It was nearly six o'clock in the evening and it was already dark. Lu Shaohua finally finished purchasing all the things and asked the store to deliver all the things to the villa the next day. The shopping trip officially ended and he returned to his current residence.

The new bodyguards from Africa will arrive the next night. There is still more than half a day in the morning to decorate the villa. With one more person, there will be no problem in completing the decoration. Lu Shaohua is not worried. What he needs most right now is to have a peaceful sleep. He will go to the new villa the next day to direct the decoration of the new home, and then wait for the arrival of the thirty bodyguards.
