Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 761: A Thought

Li Zhijie was definitely not guessing blindly, he was well prepared. When Lu Shaohua told him that he was going to take action on the two major futures of gold and oil, Li Zhijie had been thinking about this matter. Lu Shaohua also told Li Zhijie in advance how to execute the oil matter. Li Zhijie also thought that Lu Shaohua's plan was very good, so he did as Lu Shaohua said, first contacting the Saudi Arabian royal family, and then had the interview with the second prince.

However, regarding gold, Lu Shaohua did not tell Li Zhijie about the plan in advance, but it did not affect Li Zhijie's own thinking. In the end, he thought of these two paths. It can be said that Li Zhijie had planned it in advance.

However, the plan in Lu Shaohua's mind was in conflict with what Li Zhijie thought. Oh, no, to be more precise, it was not a conflict, but Lu Shaohua's plan was impossible and not feasible at all. For the sake of the overall situation, Li Zhijie had to point out the shortcomings in Lu Shaohua's plan.

Lu Shaohua is not an arbitrary person. On some things, Lu Shaohua is still willing to listen to different opinions. Just like now, after Li Zhijie's words, Lu Shaohua realized that he had ignored the greed of Africans.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua's plan has not yet been implemented, and Lu Shaohua still has time to modify the plan, and this time is the more than ten hours on the plane. When Lu Shaohua arrives in Africa, there must be a substantial action.

Lu Shaohua also realized the urgency of time and could not wait to discuss with Li Zhijie. He did not even take a rest and wanted to buy some time to finalize the plan before arriving in Africa.

Li Zhijie seemed to understand Lu Shaohua's urgency, and he didn't hide anything anymore. He continued to speak directly. "There are a few disadvantages in the second path. The first disadvantage is concealment. I have already said that our Tiger Roar Base cannot show up. Once we show up, we will make a lot of enemies. For the future of our base, we can't make too many enemies. If we want to conceal it, we lack time. After all, it seems that we don't have much time left."

What Li Zhijie said was true. From Lu Shaohua's expression, it could be seen that he was very anxious. However, ruling the regimes of some African countries would not be accomplished in a day or two.

"You should have a plan, tell me about it." Lu Shaohua said indifferently.

Based on Lu Shaohua's understanding of Li Zhijie, he knew that Li Zhijie was not a person who only knew how to brag, nor was he a person who was not very careful. Since he mentioned two paths to take, he must have taken many factors into consideration. Therefore, Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that Li Zhijie already had a general plan in his mind.

Indeed, Li Zhijie is such a person. He already has a plan in mind. After Lu Shaohua revealed his thoughts, Li Zhijie no longer kept it to himself and spoke again. "Actually, to talk about this matter, I have to thank the station where our base was stationed back then. The country where we were stationed is the country with the richest gold mines. We started with the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group and have been stationed there for nearly ten years. It would be a lie to say that we have no influence. Other places are not like this. The city near our base is under our control. Even the governor is our man."

Having said that, Li Zhijie paused and glanced at Lu Shaohua. Seeing that the latter's face was still calm, Li Zhijie knew that Lu Shaohua meant for him to continue. So, Li Zhijie just took a breath and then continued speaking.

"It just so happens that the presidential election is imminent, and the governor we support is also running for the election. It was originally a coincidence, and we didn't put too much energy into it. But now it's different. If necessary, we can make an effort to get the governor we support elected, and then we can control the country in disguised form." Li Zhijie said this with great confidence.

It's not that Li Zhijie lacks confidence. In Africa, a continent full of small countries, it doesn't seem difficult to elect a president. As long as the powerful Tiger Roar Base makes an effort and does some small things to make other candidates lose their reputation, it will be natural for his own people to be elected.

But then again, this kind of thing could have been done several years ago, but it has been delayed until now, which makes Li Zhijie very helpless. He really wants to rule a small country and be the king here, but Li Zhijie has to take into account Lu Shaohua's instructions back then.

That's right, when Li Zhijie proposed to control a small African country, Lu Shaohua immediately suppressed his idea. To quote Lu Shaohua's words back then, we don't want to get involved in politics, but just want to develop ourselves peacefully and steadily.

It was precisely because of Lu Shaohua's instruction that Li Zhijie was not keen on doing this matter. He simply supported a governor to make the city where the Tiger Roar Base was located more stable, and he had no other intentions.

The governor's desire to run for president this time was not instructed by Li Zhijie, but was that person's own idea. Of course, Li Zhijie did not object. He could run if he wanted, and the Tiger Roar Base would not get involved.

But now the situation has changed. Lu Shaohua has a plan, which forces Li Zhijie to consider whether being elected president will help Lu Shaohua's plan. The result is obvious. It will be of great help to Lu Shaohua's plan.

More importantly, Li Zhijie has always had the idea of ​​ruling a small country. This time, they have the same idea. Li Zhijie also took this opportunity to express it, hoping that Lu Shaohua would agree and let him fulfill his dream.

"Then what?" Lu Shaohua asked.

Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry to express his opinion, whether he agreed or disagreed, but instead asked about Li Zhijie's follow-up plans.

Hearing this, Li Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lu Shaohua would object as soon as he opened his mouth. Now that Lu Shaohua did not express his opinion, Li Zhijie saw hope, a glimmer of hope for success.

Seeing the hope of success, Li Zhijie naturally worked harder. He thought for a while, organized his words, and then spoke. "If we were elected president, it would be much easier for us. For example, if a country's regime announced that it would restrict the export of gold, well, if this policy was announced, the family forces that control the huge gold mines would not agree and would definitely stand up to oppose it."

"And then..."

"Then it's very simple. They stood up to oppose me, so I gave us a chance to destroy them. With the powerful arms support of our Tiger Roar Base and the help of the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, it's too easy to destroy those families. It won't take any effort." After saying that, Li Zhijie pondered for a moment and added, "If we can destroy those families that run the gold mines, our African people will be very happy, because we have destroyed the local rich and confiscated the gold mines, so we can strengthen the country and the African people can live a good life."

It is an unchangeable truth that if a country is strong and prosperous, its people will be able to improve their lives. The people of Africa are used to living in poverty, and if they have something to look forward to, then the stability of the regime will be ensured.

Furthermore, once the plan is successfully implemented, wouldn't Lu Shaohua be able to control the export volume of gold and indirectly achieve the purpose of operating gold futures?

Of course, it would take a long time to complete all this, which might delay Lu Shaohua's plan. But don't forget that once the war breaks out, the price of gold will definitely be affected and the price will rise.

Well, let the price of gold go up, and the war continue for a while. When stability is restored, the price of gold will go down, and Lu Shaohua can complete a back and forth operation, once for price increase and once for price decrease.

There is no need to say more after that. Even a three-year-old child knows that Lu Shaohua has completely taken the initiative and can manipulate the price of gold.

Of course, simply controlling a country rich in gold mines is far from enough to give you the right to dominate. You have to continue to expand your victory and add countries that also have rich gold mines to your accounts. Then you will have absolute initiative and be able to control the price of gold accurately.

"I think there are some details you haven't told me yet." Lu Shaohua didn't say 'continue', but asked Li Zhijie about the important details in his plan.

Li Zhijie smiled, as Lu Shaohua had guessed it right. He had indeed left out a very important detail. "If we follow the plan I mentioned, we must pay attention to one point, which is that we must do it quickly, and it is best to do it in many places, so that it can be fully implemented successfully. If we don't do it quickly, when the forces behind those families react, we will face a strong backlash."

This is a very important detail that determines success.

Li Zhijie could think of this, and so did Lu Shaohua. When Li Zhijie was halfway through telling his plan, Lu Shaohua already knew what he needed to pay attention to. In a word, it had to be quick.

"Good, it seems that your brain is not wasted." Lu Shaohua praised Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie is definitely a smart man, otherwise Lu Shaohua would not have sent him to Africa to form the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group. The results also show that Li Zhijie succeeded. With his intelligence and wisdom, he and Xie Jianwei created a luxurious foundation for Lu Shaohua.

However, Li Zhijie, who was praised, could not be happy because Lu Shaohua still did not express his agreement or opposition. This made Li Zhijie's sigh of relief come up again and he felt very nervous.

"How is it? Is it feasible?" Li Zhijie asked with an expectant look.

It has to be said that Li Zhijie really wanted Lu Shaohua to agree, so that he could fulfill the dream that he had hidden in his heart for many years. Just thinking about ruling some small countries and living a life like a king, Li Zhijie felt so happy.

However, all this depends on Lu Shaohua's decision. If Lu Shaohua agrees, then do it. If Lu Shaohua disagrees, then Li Zhijie's idea will be as pale and powerless as a blank piece of paper.

Agree or disagree?
