Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 771: Evolution of Events

For the African people, what is happening now is always new and novel. Normally, those family forces are like local emperors, and they are above the political power. But now, the government forces are actually attacking directly, and it is a war of annihilation. This makes the African people have to think of the content of the new president's inaugural speech.

It was obvious that the new president's inaugural address was not just talk or a blank check, but rather he put his words into practice and took immediate action. All of a sudden, the new president's popularity reached its peak and he firmly secured his position as president.

Yes, it only took him one day to consolidate his position as president, and his approval rating reached 99%, making him one of the most popular presidents in history and the most successful president in African history.

This is exactly the result Lu Shaohua wanted, because Lu Shaohua's earlier strategy was to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it was to consolidate his position as president, and on the other hand, it was to indirectly control mineral resources. Now it has been 80% successful. After the remaining remnant forces of those families are eliminated, 90% will be completed. After that, other forces within the small African country will be eliminated and the plan will be 100% completed.

Lu Shaohua was carrying out this plan. On the morning of the next day, the results of the battle were quickly counted. Lu Shaohua took a look and was satisfied with the results. Up to now, only three big families were still resisting, and the other families had been eliminated by the government forces and the ace teams of the Tiger Roar Mercenaries.

According to Li Zhijie's report, it would be very easy to eliminate the remaining three families. Just one missile could completely destroy them. However, considering that the government forces were establishing their prestige and also creating an excuse for the newly-elected president, they had to slow down the process.

As we all know, small African countries are decentralized countries. Some families have more power than the regime. They have their own armies and powerful firepower support. This is why every president has been unable to recover the mineral resources.

But it is different now. Most of the families have been wiped out by the government forces, which proves the ability of the government forces. However, this ability cannot be exaggerated. If the strength that could have directly confronted is destroyed all of a sudden, what will people outside think?

More importantly, letting the three families, which only have the ability to defend themselves, fight back will be more beneficial to the current government, and the government can accuse them of treason at any time.

Isn't it said that now everyone can see that they are fighting against government forces, so doesn't this count as treason?

It was because of various reasons that Li Zhijie thought it would be better to let the government forces fight against them first. Anyway, they could be eliminated at any time and there was no need to be too anxious. At the same time, it would also give the Tiger Roar Base and the government forces some time to slow down.

Lu Shaohua wants to eliminate all forces in the small African country. The newly elected president knows about this plan, and the main executors of this plan are the government forces. Now the government forces have just finished a war. If they fight another one without stopping, it seems a bit too much and will make the whole country panic, which is very disadvantageous for the newly elected president.

It was precisely because of this plan that Li Zhijie decided to wait for a few days after discussing with the newly elected president.

Of course, we cannot be idle during these few days. While fighting against the three incomplete families, we must also speed up our preparations. After these few days, the government forces will launch a full-scale attack and start the final step of the plan.

As for Li Zhijie and his men, they will not be idle either. During these few days, Li Zhijie and his men will have to follow the footsteps of the government forces and start making arrangements. Only then can they assist the government forces in eliminating those powerful organizations.

Of course Lu Shaohua agreed to the plan proposed by Li Zhijie. After all, Li Zhijie was thinking about the overall situation, and Lu Shaohua had no reason to refute. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also had this idea, so without any surprise, Lu Shaohua agreed.

However, Lu Shaohua was not idle either. After Li Zhijie reported the results of the battle, Lu Shaohua called Liu Mingzhang to ask about the situation on their side.

The war broke out in Africa, and many families that controlled the gold mines were wiped out. As a result, the mining of gold suddenly came to a halt, and the price of gold was affected and would definitely rise rapidly.

Fortunately, what happened in Africa happened at midnight. Even if the news spread quickly, the price of gold would not rise immediately. After all, when the news spread, the market also needed some time to react. And this reaction time was exactly the time for Liu Mingzhang and his team to act.

Yes, for Liu Mingzhang who had already made preparations, it would only take them a few tens of minutes to enter the market. Now that he had received the notice from Lu Shaohua, it seemed not too late to enter the market immediately.

In addition, at this time, after notifying Liu Mingzhang, Lu Shaohua also made a phone call. This call was to the second prince who was far away in Saudi Arabia. The content of the call was the same, asking the second prince and their royal financial company to enter the gold futures market and buy up.

The Second Prince was absolutely convinced by Lu Shaohua and had no doubt about what Lu Shaohua said, so when Lu Shaohua asked them to enter the gold futures market, he agreed immediately without even thinking about it, and quickly hung up the phone to make arrangements.

It is worth mentioning that as early as when Lu Shaohua visited their royal family and mentioned that he wanted to sweep the oil futures market, the second prince smelled a business opportunity. After Lu Shaohua left, the second prince quickly arranged traders and mobilized funds, waiting for Lu Shaohua's news and then taking action immediately.

However, the second prince was disappointed because Lu Shaohua did not let him enter the oil futures market, but speculated in gold futures, which was somewhat different from the second prince's arrangement. However, this did not affect the action. It would only take a few phone calls and a few words to change the target.

Originally, Lu Shaohua could have chosen to work alone without notifying the second prince, but Lu Shaohua did not do so. Lu Shaohua believed that giving the Saudi Arabian royal family a little sweetness at this time would be very beneficial in the future as it could increase mutual trust between the two sides.

There is no long-lasting friendship in this world, only permanent interests.

Lu Shaohua knew the true meaning of this celebration, so it was necessary to give the Saudi Arabian royal family some sweet treats occasionally.

……

At the same time, Lu Shaohua called Qin Sichen again and asked Qin Sichen to register two more companies, one was Phoenix Jewelry Company and the other was Phoenix Mining Company.

If someone asks what the most abundant mineral in Africa is besides gold, anyone with a little common sense will answer that it is diamonds.

That’s right, the most valuable mineral produced in Africa is diamond mines. Although other countries also have diamond mines, the quality is far from comparable to that of diamonds in Africa.

The purpose of setting up a jewelry company is to mine rare minerals such as diamonds here. As for the other mining company, Lu Shaohua plans to focus on gold mines.

Isn't Lu Shaohua planning to speculate in gold futures? Now he is planning to control several countries with rich gold mines. So how is he going to sell the gold? Of course he has to do it himself. With the current strength of Phoenix Group, he can definitely run it.

Originally, Lu Shaohua could have contacted a specialized company for cooperation, but Lu Shaohua did not do so. After all, doing so would result in a lot of loss of money, and Lu Shaohua was not stupid enough to give money away.

By running his own business and integrating the business here, Lu Shaohua is going to open up a new industrial chain. This is something to be happy about, after all, it means money can be made.

While Lu Shaohua was happy, he did not forget the trends in the financial market. Two days later, a new round of actions finally broke out. However, this time it was not the war in Africa that broke out, but the gold trend in the financial market.

With the change of president in Africa and the elimination of several families controlling gold mines, the sales of gold suddenly decreased a lot, causing the price of gold to rise again and again, reaching a crazy level.

Of course, there are other reasons. In addition to the outbreak of war here, there is also the influence of the atmosphere. Originally, a war in a country is not a big deal, but when the atmosphere is tense for several consecutive days, the surrounding countries are affected.

Yes, several surrounding countries have been affected, resulting in a decrease in gold exports, which is also the direct reason for the surge in gold prices.

Now, Liu Mingzhang and his friends who were speculating in gold futures were all smiles and very happy. This also included the second prince who was far away in Saudi Arabia. When the price of gold soared, the second prince was also happy, but at the same time, he was a little embarrassed.

The reason for the embarrassment was that he had a little doubt about Lu Shaohua before. Of course, it was just a little doubt, and that doubt was soon swallowed up by trust, and in the end he reacted quickly and took action on gold futures.

In short, the price of gold skyrocketed, resulting in Phoenix Financial and Saudi Arabia making huge profits, with the money constantly flowing into their pockets.

Everyone wants to make money and Lu Shaohua is no exception. He also asked for help, but the current situation in Africa is very tense. Lu Shaohua cannot focus on the financial market. After being happy, Lu Shaohua was more in deep thought, wondering if there was anything missing in the plan in his mind.

Two days have passed quietly. During these two days, the government forces of the small African country are still in a stalemate with the three families, and it seems that neither of them can do anything to the other.

However, those three families were destined to be the losing side. Not to mention that the government forces did not fight with all their strength, even the current media did not stand on their side. It was a completely one-sided situation. In the eyes of outsiders, those three families were rebellious families and they would all go to hell.

In the eyes of the African people, these three families were local tyrants. Now that they are in trouble, their roles have naturally changed. They have become rats crossing the street, the targets of everyone's beating.
