Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 963: Four Years (Part 2)

It is absolutely true that Phoenix Financial is the ATM of Phoenix Group. However, in the past four years, this ATM has not created the most wealth. The most wealth is somewhere else, and that place is none other than the Tiger Roar Base far away in Africa.

That’s right, it is the Tiger Roar Base. The Tiger Roar Base is the most profitable place, but also the place that burns the most money. All the money earned is invested, with almost no surplus. However, it is undeniable that based on the data alone, excluding deposits, the Tiger Roar Base ranks first.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, which is that before Phoenix Financial makes a big move, the profit of Tiger Roar Base will be ranked first. If Phoenix Financial makes a big move, then Tiger Roar Base can only be the second for a thousand years.

Just think about it, Phoenix Financial made a trillion dollars during the Asian financial crisis. This is a terrifying amount of wealth. Even the Tiger Roar Base cannot earn this amount.

But then again, big operations don't happen often, just like now. Since 1997, there has been no major turmoil in the financial market. It has been quiet for nine years. This is why Phoenix Financial's total profit was surpassed by Tiger Roar Base.

So let’s talk about the total profit of the Tiger Roar Base!

There are three major parts in the Tiger Roar Base. One is the mercenary group, another is the sale of intelligence, and the last and most profitable part is arms.

There is no need to talk about the mercenary groups. The Tiger Roar Mercenary Group is now ranked first in the world. The cost of hiring them is extremely high, and the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group only accepts big missions, so the fees they charge are even higher.

According to incomplete statistics, the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group receives no more than thirty missions each year. Among these thirty missions, about six or seven are permanent missions, and the remaining twenty or so are emergency missions.

The so-called permanent mission means that the mission is permanent and is carried out from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The employer is generally an opposition party or the government of a certain country, who hires the Tiger Roar Mercenaries to fight civil wars for them or participate in wars in neighboring countries.

Sudden tasks are also called short-term tasks. These tasks come suddenly and may include kidnapping a certain government official, protecting a certain important person, or protecting a certain wealthy person. There are many different tasks.

Permanent missions generally charge lower fees, but because they are permanent and valid until the end of the war, even if the fees are relatively low, they are still an astronomical figure.

As for sudden tasks, the fees will be higher. This is because the employer's employment period is relatively short, so it is reasonable to charge a higher fee.

However, these two types of tasks can create more than ten billion US dollars in wealth for the Tiger Roar Base every year. If the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group can use this money alone to be self-sufficient, there will be no problem with its survival.

However, the Tiger Roaring Base, which creates more than a dozen US dollars of wealth a year, ranks last, and the Tiger Roaring Intelligence Network ranks above it. Don't underestimate the Tiger Roaring Intelligence Network. The intelligence collected by the Tiger Roaring Intelligence Network is either some high-level government secrets or commercial intelligence.

Both types of information are very valuable. If some of them are useful to Phoenix Group, Li Zhijie will not sell them. But if they are useless to Phoenix Group, then Li Zhijie definitely does not mind listing them at a high price and waiting for buyers to come and buy them.

That's it. The Tiger Roar Intelligence Network can create nearly 2 billion US dollars in wealth for the Tiger Roar Base every year. This is when Li Zhijie only sells a part of the intelligence. If the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network runs at full capacity, this number will definitely double.

However, whether it is the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group or the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, the total amount of money earned by these two places each year is less than what the Tiger Roar Secret Base earns in one month. Of course, this is also based on a premise, that is, it refers to a month with more transactions at the Tiger Roar Secret Base.

If the Tiger Roar Secret Base has a lot of transactions in a month, it can sometimes create tens of billions of dollars for the Tiger Roar Base, which is a truly terrifying level. But such opportunities don't come often, sometimes only a few times a year.

As for small-scale arms deals, they often happen. For example, when one gang is about to have a fight with another gang, they will find the Tiger Roar secret base to buy arms. At one time, they will buy dozens or hundreds of pistols, dozens or hundreds of submachine guns, and a huge number of bullets and grenades.

The market price of a pistol is not high, but the advantage is that the quantity is large, which is a lot of money. And such business can complete several orders a month, and a little bit of money adds up to a lot, which makes the wealth earned by the Tiger Roar Secret Base move in an unpredictable direction.

The Tiger Roar Secret Base creates a lot of wealth every year, but also burns a lot of money, but the money burned is rewarded.

During these four years, the achievements made by the Huxiao Secret Base are definitely gratifying to Lu Shaohua. First of all, the spy satellite, this satellite of Lu Shaohua's dreams, was finally launched into space and started working in 2005, which was October last year.

Speaking of spy satellites, a very funny thing happened in the middle. Li Zhijie and his colleagues each had their own name for the satellite and argued endlessly. No one gave in. In the end, the name was chosen by Lu Shaohua and was named Tianyan-1.

The launch of "Sky Eye No. 1" means that the military strength of the Tiger Roar Base has become stronger, especially in high-altitude monitoring, filming and video recording, which has brought great benefits to the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network.

That's right, once the 'Sky Eye No. 1' was launched, it monitored the entire world, took a large number of pictures of military bases, and then sold them as intelligence. Also, when the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group was on a mission, the 'Sky Eye No. 1' was sometimes used for monitoring. Once the enemy was discovered, a warning would be issued in advance, which avoided many tragedies and also improved the efficiency of mission completion.

In addition to the "Sky Eye No. 3", another thing that makes Lu Shaohua happy is the communication satellite. In the past four years, the secret base has made another breakthrough and has developed a brand new technology. It can be said that it has entered the G era ahead of schedule.

Of course, the new communication satellite was launched, but the 3G network was not turned on immediately. Instead, it was waiting for the Phoenix mobile phone and other aspects to be improved before it was fully put into use.

I still remember that when the communications satellite was debugged after it was launched, Lu Shaohua was on the scene. When an engineer from Phoenix Communications Company tested the network speed, his expression was very interesting, as if he had seen a ghost. He was shocked and then screamed. After that, he retested, and errors occurred later, but it was finally confirmed that the test results were not wrong.

When Phoenix Communications Company was first established, it had two communication satellites. Lu Shaohua paid for the development of a national research institute. They have been in use for more than ten years, but so far there have been no problems with the two satellites.

Now that the new satellite is launched into space, it is normal to replace it. However, Lu Shaohua still did not abandon the two satellites and they are still in use, but one of the satellites is exclusively occupied by Lu Shaohua.

Yes, one of the two old satellites is still in use by Phoenix Communications to share a small part of the pressure, while the other one was taken over by Lu Shaohua for his own use. At the same time, a private network was developed for internal use of the Phoenix Group.

It is luxurious enough, absolutely luxurious enough, but there is no way around it, since Lu Shaohua is rich, he just took over the use of this satellite, and the websites under the Phoenix Group were directly integrated into the private network to make browsing faster.

The spy satellite and communication satellite have been decided, and the remaining one is the space weapon. After four years of research, the space weapon finally has a clue. According to the news sent back by Xie Jianwei, it will not take long to manufacture the space weapon.

This refers to a stand-alone space weapon, like a long-range missile, except that this weapon can be launched into space, while ordinary missiles cannot. Now there is a clue, and the countdown to manufacturing is in sight, which is undoubtedly great news.

However, the good news does not stop there. There is another piece of news, also from Xie Jianwei, saying that there is a plan to build small space weapons inside satellites, but there are still some difficulties to overcome, and it may take several years to manufacture them.

It is said that the reason why the built-in small space weapons came into being so quickly was because they were learned from the individual space weapons. As the saying goes, once you understand one principle, you will understand all principles. Not only can you make individual space weapons, but you can also understand the small space weapons and have the design concept. The next step is to overcome difficulties and finally achieve success.

It can be said that after four years, the technological strength of the secret base has reached a new level. This is something worth rejoicing about. At least in Lu Shaohua's view, the progress of the secret base has given him a great help.

However, with the development of Phoenix Group and Tiger Roar Base, Lu Shaohua's wealth has reached a terrifying figure. Four years ago, Lu Shaohua roughly calculated his wealth, which was probably between 4 trillion and 4.5 trillion US dollars.

As of today, Lu Shaohua roughly calculated that his net worth has exceeded double digits, reaching a terrifying 23 trillion US dollars.

Four years, just four years, Lu Shaohua's numbers have more than quadrupled, which is absolutely terrifying.

Some people may doubt that the emergence of this number is a bit incredible, but who could have known that money makes money in a snowball-like way?

The more money you have, the faster you make it, and it's like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger.

This is the case with Lu Shaohua now. Lu Shaohua even thinks that if he is given another four years, his net worth will skyrocket to more than 70 or 80 trillion US dollars.

Lu Shaohua's confidence is definitely not a fantasy, because Lu Shaohua controls a huge amount of crude oil, which is money. Moreover, four years later, Lu Shaohua may control oil. If that happens, Lu Shaohua's wealth will definitely not increase just a little bit, and it is not impossible to break through three digits.
