Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 928 Oil and Gold**

After the harvest, Lu Shaohua was very happy, but he knew that the counterattack was over, but the revenge was not over. Lu Shaohua thought that just getting 263 billion US dollars from the Morgan Consortium was too light. Compared with the manpower and material resources invested by Lu Shaohua on the industrial side, Lu Shaohua felt that it was not proportional.

Yes, Lu Shaohua has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and now has earned market share and more than 20 billion US dollars in cash, but he feels that this revenge is still too light, and he must cut another piece of meat from the Morgan Consortium.

But how can we cut another piece of meat from the Morgan Consortium?

Lu Shaohua already had a plan and quickly took action. On the third day after the end of the financial war, Lu Shaohua forcibly summoned Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen despite the fact that they were on vacation.

Straight to the point, Lu Shaohua didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "After more than ten days of fighting with the Morgan Consortium, we finally won. It can be regarded as a small revenge on the Morgan Consortium, but that is not what I want. The revenge is not strong enough, and it is still not enough for the Morgan Consortium to remember it!"

Lu Shaohua spoke frankly, speaking directly from his heart, then paused, and continued, "The lesson is not enough, we should teach them a lesson. The Morgan Consortium still has a $300 billion investment in the oil futures market. Although it is trapped by our design, the $300 billion is also shrinking. However, if the Morgan Consortium can recover a little bit of its vitality, I guess they will do whatever it takes to get out of the trap."

300 billion US dollars may be a small amount of money for the Morgan Consortium in the past, but it is a huge amount of money for the Morgan Consortium now, because the Morgan Consortium needs money very, very much.

According to normal people's thinking, when money is needed, even if it means losses, they will do everything they can to recover some of the costs. Lu Shaohua did not doubt that the Morgan Consortium would withdraw regardless of the losses.

Since the Morgan Consortium is likely to withdraw regardless of the losses, shouldn't Lu Shaohua react as soon as possible and eat up the $30 billion that the Morgan Consortium has invested in the oil futures market?

Yes, Lu Shaohua was planning to eat up the 30 billion US dollars before the Morgan Consortium withdrew. Of course, Lu Shaohua also knew that it was almost impossible to eat up all of it, and eating up 90% was already the limit.

"Perhaps the Morgan Consortium in the past did not have such courage, but the Morgan Consortium now has it, because they are short of money." Li Yunqing paused and continued, "So, I think we should act quickly on the investment in the oil futures market, otherwise they may take action."

It can be said that Li Yunqing completely agreed with Lu Shaohua's words. His words were full of support for Lu Shaohua's remarks. He then did not forget to raise his own points. To sum it up, it was that they had to act quickly.

"We should hurry up, otherwise they might really get away." Liu Mingzhang was relatively relaxed, with a smile on his face in his every word and action.

Li Zongen did not speak, but his nod said it all. He fully agreed to take quick action in the oil futures market.

"That's fine. Let's prepare to take action on the oil futures market." Lu Shaohua finally made the decision, but the matter was far from over. After a pause, Lu Shaohua changed the subject and said, "After swallowing up the investment of the Morgan Consortium, we should pull back the price of oil. After all, we have already pushed the price of oil to the top. It would be a bit too much to let it go up any further."

More than ten days have passed. During these days, Lu Shaohua has been paying attention to the financial market and the counterattack of the group's industrial sector, and has not paid attention to the oil price at all. As more than ten days have passed, he suddenly looked back and found that the oil price has reached its peak, and any further increase will be beyond his range.

In the past, Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues would speculate on the price of oil for a week to ten days, and when the price reached a certain level, they would sell it and speculate it back up. But this time was different. Not only did it take more than several days, but they also put a lot of effort into suppressing the Morgan Consortium's investment in oil. They had been suppressing the price, and they were suppressing it very hard.

As we all know, oil is a very important energy source. It is normal for its price to be unstable. It is precisely because of its abnormal price that Lu Shaohua can boldly let Liu Mingzhang and others do it.

But no matter how much he tried, Lu Shaohua did not dare to let it go beyond the scope. The price could not be too low. If it was too low, people like the Second Prince who owned a lot of oil would suffer losses. If it was too high, the forces would drop a blockbuster bomb on the international community.

What does it mean to drop a heavy bomb in the international community? It means that you may be regarded as a public enemy. If several powerful countries unite at that time, the result will be extremely miserable. Lu Shaohua's strength is very strong, strong enough to compete with any country.

But it can only contend against one or two or three countries. If four or five countries unite together, I am afraid that no matter how strong Lu Shaohua is, he will not be able to withstand it.

Taking various reasons into consideration, Lu Shaohua had to cool down the oil price. After all, he was the one who controlled the oil price. He had the final say on whether the oil price would rise or fall.

"Yeah." Liu Mingzhang nodded and said, "The price of oil is indeed too high. It is necessary to cool it down, otherwise it will not benefit anyone."

Liu Mingzhang obviously noticed that the price of oil was too high. When Lu Shaohua brought up this issue, he immediately agreed. In fact, even if Lu Shaohua didn't say it, Liu Mingzhang would have mentioned it to Lu Shaohua, because as he said, the high price of oil is not good for anyone.

The high price of oil can bring great benefits to Lu Shaohua, but it is also harmful. The harm is that he may become a public enemy. In addition, the price of oil has been high for too long, which has planted a heavy bomb for the stability of Saudi Arabia.

Just imagine, if the price of oil is too high, oil will become an item that generates greater profits. Saudi Arabia is a major oil producer, and various forces will definitely want to occupy some oil fields to bring themselves huge profits.

If the price of oil is not very high and is within the acceptable range of all parties, they will not have the idea of ​​occupying the oil fields. In this way, the situation in Saudi Arabia will reduce a lot of pressure to a certain extent.

But then again, if the price of oil is too low, it will bring both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the situation in Saudi Arabia will not be under any pressure, but the disadvantage is that owning the oil fields will not generate much profit.

Moderate, this is the best, medium, not too high or too low.

However, this is obviously not what Lu Shaohua wants. Lu Shaohua does not want to keep the oil price unchanged for a thousand years. It is normal for the price to rise and fall. Even if the situation becomes chaotic, Lu Shaohua will continue to manipulate the rise and fall of oil prices.

Isn't there an idiom called "fishing in troubled waters"? How can you fish if the water is not muddy? You should know that although Lu Shaohua can control the price of oil now, it does not mean that Lu Shaohua has already controlled oil.

Controlling oil is what Lu Shaohua wants, not manipulating the price of oil. Manipulating the price of oil is only one part of controlling oil. If you control oil, you can control the price, but being able to control the price does not mean that you control oil.

Lu Shaohua's ultimate plan is to control oil so as to stand above other countries and have great influence in the international community. This influence is all-round, including politics, economy, and so on.

If he tried to fish in troubled waters, it would bring great trouble to the Second Prince. Therefore, Lu Shaohua agreed to train 500 soldiers for the Second Prince, who were equivalent to regular troops, so that the Second Prince could face pressure and meet challenges.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded gently, paused to think for a moment, and then continued, "How about this, designate a special person to keep an eye on the oil, so that similar situations will not occur again."

Lu Shaohua's meaning was very clear, that is, to separate the oil sector, not link it with finance, and completely separate it, just like opening a branch and finding a person in charge.

"I think it is necessary. After all, we can't just focus on the oil futures market every day." Li Yunqing agreed.

"I think so too." Liu Mingzhang also spoke up.

"..." Li Zongen did not rush to speak, but nodded to show his agreement, and then continued, "If the oil sector is exposed, I think it is necessary to expose the gold sector as well, after all, the operations of gold and oil are carried out almost at the same time."

The prices of oil and gold are controlled by Lu Shaohua, who constantly speculates on the price ups and downs to make a huge fortune. However, now that Lu Shaohua is ready to sell out the oil business, should he also sell out the gold business and find a dedicated person and a professional team to be in charge?

"Well, now that oil has been funded, let's also funded gold, so as to avoid the trouble of merging them together. Let's just find a capable person to lead a small team to oversee the operation." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and decided on this matter. "As for the deployment of personnel, you three can handle it."

Yes, there is never a shortage of traders in Phoenix Financial Corporation. Not only that, there are even more than enough. When there are no big operations, they all work with a small team to fight guerrilla warfare in the futures market and the stock market, practice their skills, and make money for the company.

If necessary, Lu Shaohua could completely save them from having to fight guerrilla warfare and allow them to concentrate their energy on operating the two major futures products, gold and oil.

"Don't worry, we will arrange it." Liu Mingzhang stood up and answered Lu Shaohua on behalf of Li Yunqing and Li Zongen.

"it is good."
