Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 746: Sequelae

Lu Shaohua can control the amount of gold and oil entering the market. What does this mean? It means that Lu Shaohua can control the rise and fall of prices. After controlling the rise and fall of prices, it represents a lot of wealth.

Crazy, absolutely crazy. Lu Shaohua's strength still exceeded the expectations of Liu Mingzhang and others. However, when they remembered that Lu Shaohua had a Tiger Roar Mercenary Group in Africa, they seemed to understand that the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group had a huge influence in Africa.

This is indeed the case. In Africa, there are countless mercenary groups of all sizes. The residence of a large mercenary group will affect the surrounding areas and have an extremely huge influence. Even a local family dare not offend a large mercenary group easily.

Africa doesn't have much else, except for gold and some rare minerals. With the influence of the Tiger Roar Mercenaries, it doesn't seem too difficult to control the amount entering the market. As for oil, it's even easier. Liu Mingzhang and the others know about Lu Shaohua's oil plan. In the plan, Lu Shaohua has a plan for Africa to store crude oil.

Lu Shaohua continuously provided a large amount of funds to Africa. Liu Mingzhang and his friends thought that it must be for the oil plan. Thousands or even trillions of dollars were used to buy oil. How much was that? Liu Mingzhang and his friends did not dare to guess.

With a large amount of crude oil reserves, are you still worried that you won’t be able to control the price of oil?

There is no doubt that the answer is yes, Lu Shaohua can control the rise and fall of its price.

Since the rise and fall of gold and oil can be controlled, why not speculate in gold and oil futures? You should know that it is a business that is sure to make money. You will only make money and not lose money if you speculate.

Two words: "Done"

Whether it was Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing, or Li Zongen, they had already made up their minds and were quickly looking for plans. They planned to encircle and suppress gold and oil futures and take the opportunity to make huge profits.

But Lu Shaohua's next words disappointed them. It was not that Lu Shaohua did not want to make a lot of money, but what Lu Shaohua needed more was a steady stream of funds. He could not make it all at once, but had to do it over a long period of time, so that he could achieve his predetermined goals.

"My plan is to invest in the long term, which is in our current interests." Lu Shaohua said in a very affirmative tone.

There was no other intention. Lu Shaohua was just pouring cold water on Liu Mingzhang and the others, so that they would give up the idea of ​​just doing a quick buck and leaving.

It must be said that Lu Shaohua poured cold water at the right time. Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen, who were originally full of excitement, calmed down, turned their eyes to Lu Shaohua, and nodded calmly to show that they understood.

"We can't lose the big picture for the small. I want to make a fortune, but after the Asian financial crisis, there will be no more financial crises and stock market crashes in the world. We don't have many opportunities, so we can only make long-term investments. This is a strategic investment." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused for a few seconds, changed the subject, and continued. "Well, regarding gold and oil futures, you should prepare well and figure out how to operate. I only provide the dates, when to increase the volume and when to reduce the volume. You can figure out the rest by yourself."

Once again, Lu Shaohua was a hands-off boss. He put forward a plan and left everything else to Liu Mingzhang and the other three to carry out the plan.

Liu Mingzhang and the others seemed to have gotten used to Lu Shaohua being a hands-off boss, and they didn't say much. They just nodded solemnly to tell Lu Shaohua that they would do a good job.

Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing, and Li Zongen were all geniuses in finance. There was no need to question their abilities. Lu Shaohua trusted them very much. Now that they had made another guarantee, there was no need for Lu Shaohua to give them any more instructions. He just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

……

Things became much simpler afterwards. Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues conducted an analysis on gold and oil, and then made a rough plan. They then sold their stocks and futures, gathered funds, and prepared to enter the market.

It is worth mentioning that when the plan was being made, the three people had an argument. Their opinions were somewhat different, but in the end everyone had their own reasons. If Lu Shaohua had not stepped forward, they would not have been able to work out a rough plan even if they were given a month.

The solution to this problem was very simple. Lu Shaohua adopted the approach of letting each of them work on their own. If they thought their plan was good, they would act according to their plan. As a result, three rough plans were handed over to Lu Shaohua in less than two days.

Lu Shaohua can understand that everyone has different thinking and views on the market. This is the source of the controversy. Now Lu Shaohua lets them fight on their own. They can do what they want and they can give full play to their abilities without being timid.

Of course, Lu Shaohua's decision will also have an impact on the overall situation. What Lu Shaohua wants to see most is the best plan, and this best plan is to take advantage of the strengths and weaknesses and combine the wisdom of three people to formulate it, so that the money earned can be maximized.

However, things often don't go as Lu Shaohua wishes, and Lu Shaohua can only adopt this method of each doing it themselves and let them perform on their own. It is a sure win anyway, and the time is long, so Lu Shaohua feels that there is no need to let them argue further, otherwise it will have a great impact on the relationship between the three of them.

Fortunately, that possibility no longer exists. Instead, they are competing with each other to see who will be the final winner. Lu Shaohua also saw that they were competing secretly. In response, Lu Shaohua just smiled and said nothing more.

In fact, Lu Shaohua didn't have the energy to pay attention to those things. Lu Shaohua had a lot of headaches now, such as the matter of Shenzhen Phoenix Base, which was also one of Lu Shaohua's most headaches.

A few days ago, Lu Shaohua was in a dispute with the country, and the Phoenix Base stopped operating for two days. Don’t underestimate these two days. For the Phoenix Group, which sells a large number of products every day, it was a fatal blow.

Now there are sellers calling every day to urge for goods. Some small suppliers cannot get the goods, so they simply travel thousands of miles to the Phoenix Base in Shenzhen, acting like "I will live here if you don't give me the goods", which gives Chu Lei a headache.

Originally, Chu Lei could have given an order to solve this kind of problem. He just needed to ask the workers to work overtime to smuggle the goods. However, Chu Lei did not dare to give the order decisively because doing so would inevitably increase expenses.

Don't forget, overtime pay is twice as much as normal work pay, plus the employees in the Phoenix Base already have very high salaries. Without Lu Shaohua's consent, we will not be able to explain the final payroll to Lu Shaohua.

Therefore, Chu Lei could only tell Lu Shaohua about the situation over there and let Lu Shaohua make the decision.

As for Lu Shaohua, he didn't expect this to happen. Oh! No, to be more precise, he never thought about this happening when he was fighting against the country. Now that the hidden danger has occurred, Lu Shaohua can only helplessly work overtime.

"This is the sequelae..." Lu Shaohua muttered helplessly.

This is the undeniable aftermath of reckless confrontation with the country.

But then again, even if Lu Shaohua was allowed to choose again, he would still do so, because it was related to Lu Shaohua's future and would even affect Lu Shaohua's overall plan. For the sake of his great dream, there would be sequelae, and Lu Shaohua had to choose to confront the country.

Fortunately, the problem was not very big and it was not difficult to solve. It just required a little more money, which Lu Shaohua could still afford.

What Lu Shaohua didn’t know was that after he gave the order, it was like Chinese New Year at the Shenzhen Phoenix Base, with all the employees smiling as if they had found a treasure.

The employees at Phoenix Base have no choice but to be happy, because Phoenix Base hasn't had overtime for a long time. Since switching to a two-shift system, Phoenix Base has never had overtime. Now suddenly having to work overtime means that they may get nearly double their salary a month. Who would go against money? It would be strange if they are not happy.

Lu Shaohua knew nothing about these, but even if he knew, he would not have the energy to think about those things. Lu Shaohua had too many things to think about now. For example, the control of the amount of gold and oil required Lu Shaohua to come up with a plan and let Li Zhijie and others to execute it. Well, if possible, Lu Shaohua would like to go to Africa again and make arrangements personally.

Lu Shaohua had thought about going to Africa again, and was planning to go there in the near future. However, when Lu Shaohua made up his mind, something happened in Hong Kong again, forcing Lu Shaohua to postpone the date.

Phoenix Petroleum ran into trouble because Royal Dutch Shell, which had been cooperating with Phoenix Petroleum, suddenly terminated its cooperation with Phoenix Petroleum. They wanted to go solo and use the foundation they had laid in Asia over the years to enter the Asian market.

As for Royal Dutch Shell's desire to go solo, Lu Shaohua had already guessed that this day would come when they started cooperating. Lu Shaohua was not afraid of them going solo because after so many years of quiet acquisitions, Phoenix Financial already owned 17.4% of Royal Dutch Shell's shares, making it the third largest shareholder, which could suppress them.

In addition, Phoenix Group has a great influence in Asia. Lu Shaohua has too much crude oil stored in his hands, so it is too easy for him to enter the natural gas and oil industry. He is not afraid of losing to Royal Dutch Shell.

Therefore, when Royal Dutch Shell announced the termination of its cooperation with Phoenix Petroleum, Lu Shaohua immediately held a press conference after receiving the report, announcing that Phoenix Financial owned 17.4% of Royal Dutch Shell's shares, becoming the third largest shareholder of Royal Dutch Shell, and demanded a new round of board meetings.

The United Kingdom and the Netherlands were shocked, and oil companies around the world were even more shocked. No one expected that the silent Phoenix Financial would take such a move.
