Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"Brother Bao, if you called me to say these things, then I have to hang up first." Zhang Weiguo said speechlessly.

What kind of person is this! Who would ask someone if they want a wife as the first thing they say?

"Hey..., let me change the subject with you, brother. Tell me the truth, how much money did you make during this oil crisis?" Seeing that he failed to promote his daughter, Pao Yue-Kong had to change the question.

He also saw the news that Zhang Weiguo asked you to release before. As someone who knows Zhang Weiguo relatively well, Pao Yue-kong doesn't believe that this guy only has 5000 US dollars worth of oil.

Pao Yue-Kong had a hunch that Zhang Weiguo was planning something big.

"Brother Bao really didn't make much, just tens of millions." Zhang Weiguo told a lie. If Pao Yue-kong really knew that Zhang Weiguo had made at least 80 billion US dollars in this oil crisis, I wonder if Pao Yue-kong would block his door and give him a Tianyi Pavilion wife.

After hearing Zhang Weiguo's answer, Pao Yue-Kong understood clearly that it was just tens of millions of dollars of bullshit and not a single word of it was true.

After a moment, Pao Yue-Kong sighed, "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it! But Weiguo, as a shareholder of Global Shipping, this oil price increase is not a good signal for shipping. Do you have any suggestions for me?"

Zhang Weiguo was silent for a moment, then replied, "Brother Bao, have you ever considered going ashore?"

"Go ashore!" Pao Yu-Kong's pupils shrank slightly, and he waited for a moment before speaking: "Thank you, Weiguo. I will seriously consider this matter."

After hanging up the phone with Pao Yue-Kong, Zhang Weiguo continued to think about who to sell the subsequent US$6 million worth of oil to.

I believe that those companies in Fuso have already realized that they have suffered a loss, but what can they do? The contract has been signed, the money has been paid, and the other party has started to transport the oil to them. Are they going to say they don’t want it now?

What's more, they really need these now.

However, Zhang Weiguo did not care about these things at this time. Instead, he asked the acquisition department to start a detailed investigation of European companies. Although the remaining oil could also be sold to Fuso, this was not in the interests of Zhang Weiguo.

According to calculations by a professional team, 5000 million US dollars worth of oil would be enough for the Japanese companies to use for half a year. If they had sold more to them, their stock prices might not have dropped so much during the economic crisis.

"We still have to consider Europe!"

Two days later, Zhang Weiguo looked at the information provided by his subordinates and selected Germany, the Gallic Rooster, and the British Empire as the main targets.

First, Zhang Weiguo contacted his partners, Germany's Nordst and QuickTone. Previously, Zhang Weiguo had spent a lot of money to buy air compressors and machine tools from them. Now that the other party was in trouble, shouldn't he, as an old friend, help them?

Well! Then let's go with $20.98 per barrel. As an old friend, it must be cheaper than Fuso.

As for whether the other party will buy it, that's a joke. Now, except for Zhang Weiguo, the other party really can't buy so much spot oil at the moment.

As for Les Roosters de France and The British Empire, they chose companies such as Loire Valley Shipyard, Safran Group, Rolls-Royce, and Babcock & Co. respectively.

Moreover, the other party has more or less military-industrial properties, and Zhang Weiguo can earn some favors by selling oil to them.

……

On the second day, Zhang Weiguo was watering the flowers leisurely while talking on the phone with Pete, the president of Beister.

"Zhang, can't it be any cheaper? 20.98 USD is really too expensive. The current market price is only 13.98 USD." Pete tried to lower the price.

"Mr. Peter, you should know that it's not a question of price, but whether there is oil. 20.98 US dollars a barrel, this price will not change at all. I called you first because of our long-term cooperation. If Mr. Peter doesn't need it, I believe there will be other companies waiting for this batch of oil to save their lives."

"..." Zhang Weiguo's words hit Pete's sore spot. Just a while ago, their Beister had just received a large order of 2 million US dollars. Although there is still a year before the delivery, if there is not enough oil, they will have to stop work in two days, and they will definitely not be able to deliver the goods on time. When Pete thought of the 6 million US dollars in liquidated damages, he gritted his teeth.

"Zhang, you win!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Weiguo happily trimmed each pot of flowers.

Four hours later, Zhang Weiguo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

In just four hours, Zhang Weiguo received an order worth 10 billion US dollars, and after deducting the costs, he made a net profit of more than 8.7 million yuan.

This is even more profitable than banks!

……

Half a month later, Zhang Weiguo reached deals with several European companies one after another, and basically sold at a price of US$20.98 per barrel, and some were even sold at US$21.23.

From then on, except for the oil that Zhang Weiguo kept for his own use, almost all the oil purchased for 15 billion US dollars was sold. After deducting the cost, the net profit reached 87.987 billion US dollars. Taking into account the previous preparations, the funds available to Zhang Weiguo directly reached 118.786 billion US dollars.

But it was 1973!

A cash flow of 118.786 billion US dollars!

Zhang Weiguo was in a very good mood at this time, and he said to Lin Qing directly: "Lin Qing, inform all employees that this year's annual seed will be increased by 10%."

Lin Qing knew that Zhang Weiguo was in a very good mood at the moment, so she didn't disturb him, but went to convey the good news.

After hearing the news, many employees shouted, "Long live the Flower Planting Group!"

The skyrocketing prices in Hong Kong in recent days and the continuous layoffs of companies have made most of the employees of the Flower Planting Group very worried, fearing that the Flower Planting Group might also lay off employees. Now that this news has come out, it is not just about increasing the 10% bonus, but also conveying a message to the employees of the Flower Planting Group.

Not only will the Flower Planting Group not lay off employees, but its revenue is also very stable, and it can even increase its employees' year-end bonuses.

Soon, the news about the year-end bonus of the Flower Planting Group became the front-page headlines for nearly a week.

In the economic crisis, many people are facing the risk of unemployment. But now you are not only not laying off employees, but also increasing bonuses.

On the Kowloon bus.

"I heard that the year-end bonus of the Flower Planting Group has increased again!"

"Yes, look at the employees of the Flower Planting Group. Not only are there no layoffs, but there are also bonus increases. Look at our company, which is laying off employees and cutting salaries. I don't have so many demands now. As long as I'm not laid off, that's fine."

"Who says it's not true? Otherwise, how could Zhang Weiguo be the richest Chinese?"

In addition to public discussions, the bosses of those companies are also having a headache. In this environment, they are all trying their best to keep their companies alive, but you increase their bonuses. Isn't this embarrassing for them?

However, there are not many people in the entire Hong Kong Island who are truly qualified to call Zhang Weiguo and complain.

"Weiguo, you've made it very difficult for us this time!" Pao Yue-Kong complained.

In this crisis, their global shipping has also been hit hard, and layoffs are inevitable.

"Brother Bao, you can't blame me for this. The profit of the Flower Planting Group is pretty good this year. Isn't it reasonable to increase the bonus for employees?"

As soon as Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, he heard a "beep" sound coming from the microphone.

Listening to the sound of the phone being hung up, Zhang Weiguo muttered, "It's just a little bonus increase! It's already broken."
