Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five America's Difficulties

As soon as the news of the YSL revolution broke out in Iran and the stop of oil exports came out, it shook the whole world in an instant.

Especially those developed countries that need a lot of oil for development are even more frightened.

In the New York futures market, the world's first oil futures just appeared more than a month ago, and the price jumped directly, from $14.8 a barrel to $16.1 a barrel, and with the influx of capital, it is still at an extremely fast rate. Speed ​​up.

Governments of various countries have ordered to send personnel to Iran to try to get the latest and most complete information.

Governments can wait, but capitalists around the world are not foolish enough to wait.

None of the capitalists are fools, and they all know that once a revolution breaks out, it will not end in just ten days and a half.

As a result, when Iranian oil will be sold again, no one can say, what if it is a few months? Even a year or a few years?

Other countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, are powerless even if they want to seize the Iranian market. After all, oil extraction is not achieved overnight.

Therefore, capital has foreseen that the price of oil will continue to rise in a short period of time, which will bring a series of vicious reactions, inflation, and the continued depreciation of the dollar.

Originally, European and American countries have fallen into an economic quagmire. The rise in international crude oil prices has made the situation worse for all countries. Even a little improvement has been cast a shadow.

So in order to avoid losses, capital began to quickly take refuge.

There is no doubt that gold has become the only refuge for capital!

Huge amounts of money poured into the world's New York gold market and London gold market. Not only securities companies, fund companies, asset management companies, but even banks and central banks around the world are buying gold for the first time to preserve the value of their assets.

What's more, some industrial companies also put idle funds into the gold market.

As a result, a large amount of funds poured into the gold market, pushing up the price of gold continuously.

Faced with the influx of huge amounts of funds, the major banks in London were in a mess, Xia Yu's funds suddenly became insignificant, and the market information became chaotic, and Xia Yu's security greatly increased.

...

Hong Kong,

Package house.

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were sitting together drinking tea, with bright smiles on their faces.

"Tsk tsk, Lao Huo, I didn't expect that Xia Yu would actually sell the London Gold, and he predicted the outbreak of the crisis more than half a month in advance. It seems that his intelligence ability is too strong!"

Bao Yugang said with emotion, with a look of admiration.

"Yeah, his business intelligence ability is really powerful. In the whole Xiangjiang, no one can match him. After all, a Jiuding News Agency is spread all over the world. This is the only one in our Xiangjiang."

Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement, agreeing with great feeling, and at the same time raised the importance of Jiuding News Agency several levels in his heart.

It can be said that the news agency is an important weapon of a country. Generally, it is supported by the state, but Xia Yu has one privately.

Huo Yingdong suddenly had the urge to create a news agency in an instant, but fortunately, he didn't lose his mind and knew that he didn't have that ability, so he suppressed the sudden urge in his heart.

"However, Xia Yu also dared to gamble, or his internal market analysis power is strong. If it was us, we might not dare, nor would we necessarily discover it."

"Indeed, although Xia Yu is young, he can be said to be No. 1 in Hong Kong in terms of the overall situation. Even if I have been around for decades, I don't think I can compare to him."

"Now the price of gold has risen by more than 10%, and the profit that belongs to us alone is nearly 10 million US dollars. Not to mention, I really feel ashamed. After all, we did nothing."

Bao Yugang shook his head and sighed, his complexion a little complicated.

Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "Old Bao, why do you think so much, since Xia Yu only brought the two of us in the whole Xiangjiang, then we will write down this favor and return it later, you are not confident enough to provide Xia Yu in Xiangjiang. help?"

"How is this possible? Although the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are powerful now, but you and I work together, it's not necessarily afraid of anyone, so why can't you help Xia Yu?"

Bao Yugang said aloud, there is a power of the richest man in Hong Kong in his words.

He and Huo Yingdong were able to stand on the top of the Xiangjiang River. They were naturally quick-witted and could guess part of Xia Yu's mind, but they had no opinion.

After all, Xia Yu chose them because he looked down on them, and it was normal for businessmen to form alliances with mutual benefits.

Xia Yu could completely choose other people, but they had no choice.

Taking Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's dripping kindness as the person who repays each other, the two have already made up their minds to support this little brother.

"Old Huo, Xia Yu hasn't been in Xiangjiang for a while, so we can't slap ourselves in the face. I'm not as good as you in that respect, and I need you to take more care."

Bao Yugang restrained his smile and said solemnly.

"No problem, if you and I look like we can still have an accident, what face do we have to hang around in Xiangjiang?"

A sharp edge flashed in Huo Yingdong's eyes, and he said solemnly.

...

With Liu Xiao and George Berkeley busy, Xia Yu seemed to have nothing to do.

While strolling outside, I unknowingly came to the vicinity of Huashang Bank.

Thinking of his status as a shareholder and director of Huashang Bank, but not fulfilling his due responsibilities and obligations, Xia Yu thought about it and went to Huashang Bank.

In the respectful greetings from the staff, Xia Yu took Li Qian upstairs and saw Wu Hongyi being busy.

Seeing Xia Yu's arrival, Wu Hongyi put down his work and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, why are you here?"

"How can I be idle as a member of the bank?"

Xia Yu said eloquently, making Wu Hongyi burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, look at my mouth."

"Come on, talk while drinking tea."

Then, Xia Yu entered Wu Hongyi's office and drank tea.

"Hongyi, how is the bank's capital flow now? If there is spare capital, I suggest buying all gold to preserve value."

Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said seriously.

Wu Hongyi put down his teacup and thought with his brows fixed: "There is still a lot of money, I also read the news at noon, the revolution broke out in Iran, and now the price of gold has skyrocketed, but Xia Yu, I am still struggling, do you think Iran can withstand European and American countries? Has the pressure on oil exports been shutting down? Will the U.S. step in as well? What if all of a sudden it reopens exports?”

Xia Yu said: "Don't worry, the revolution will not end in a short period of time, the constitutional monarchy is to be eliminated in Iran, and Ruhollah Mousavi Khomeini has been in exile for more than ten years, commanding the revolution remotely, if he does not achieve his goals , how can you give up?"

"In a deep sense, this time is the Soviet Union's counterattack against the United States. It is estimated that the United States did not expect the revolution to break out so quickly. Even if the United States wants to intervene, the Soviet Union will take measures. You must know that Iran is next to the Soviet Union! America is beyond the reach!"

This point of view of Xia Yu is very novel. Wu Hongyi has never thought about it from a political point of view before. When he heard it, he suddenly felt that his thinking became wider, and he carefully chewed Xia Yu's point of view.

"That has the support of the Soviet Union. Didn't Khomeini say that it is very likely to succeed? The Soviet Union should want to end the revolution as soon as possible and take control of Iran?"

Wu Hongyi asked.

"The revolution is not so simple, even if the Soviet Union wants to settle as soon as possible, it needs to look at the actual situation."

"At the same time as this revolution, it should also be the Soviet Union's strategy to stop exporting oil, in order to make European and American countries in a dilemma. I have to say that the Soviet Union seized a good opportunity, so if the revolution was unsuccessful, Iranian oil will never be re-exported. NATO will never re-export oil. The overall pressure is not enough!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, admiring the Soviet plan in his heart.

Wu Hongyi didn't expect that there was still a lot of things in it, he suddenly came to the spirit and asked, "What's the solution?"

"Now the European economy is in a dilemma, but Europe is extremely dependent on oil in the Middle East, while the United States itself is in a dilemma of inflation, and both oil and the dollar have been hit. The U.S. government must find a way to end this bad situation as soon as possible, which requires the United States to admit defeat. "

"But if the United States invests troops in Iran to compete with the Soviet Union, then the revolution will become a proxy war between the two sides, and because of the popular and religious issues in Iran, if the United States wants to win, it must invest several times the energy of the Soviet Union. too big."

"This fight will take a long time. The United States will intervene, and anti-American sentiment in Iran will skyrocket. If Iran does not export oil, the United States will not be able to stand it first, and the Soviet Union will be fine."

"After all, the Soviet Union was originally blocked by European and American countries. It has reached this point. The Soviet Union itself is not short of oil and is completely self-sufficient."

"Even if it is a last resort, Europe has to buy Soviet oil to survive, and the NATO blockade will open a hole. This is not what the United States wants to see."

"So now, the U.S. government has no choice. It is better to have short-term pain than long-term pain. Instead of reaching out to take care of other countries' affairs, it is better to solve its own troubles first."

Xia Yu smiled and talked eloquently.

"So under the passive resistance of Europe and the United States, the Iranian revolution has basically stabilized and succeeded, but the United States will never let it go, and the Middle East will be lively in the future."

"Oh, let's talk about it, let's talk about the current gold price."

"Even if the Iranian revolution is successful, it will take at least a few months, or even half a year, so it is impossible for oil to be re-exported in these months, and there is still a lot of room for gold prices to rise."

"One more thing, even if Iranian oil is re-exported, the U.S. will be further fueled by the consequences of inflation, and the dollar will continue to depreciate, which is not so easy to reverse. Therefore, in the past two years, the price of gold has continued to rise, so buy with confidence. !"

After listening to Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi suddenly felt enlightened. He smiled and said with emotion: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books, I have been taught!"

"I'll arrange for funds to go into the gold market later."

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and calmly picked up the tea.

Before the revolution broke out, Wu Hongyi was not told because the old fox of the Wu family was there, the risk was too great, and it was not worth Xia Yu to do this.

Even if he is a shareholder of Huashang Bank, it is not worth his risk.

But now it's different, things have happened, it's no problem to mention Wu Hongyi, even if Wu Chengde has suspicions, it's useless, after all, there is no evidence, Xia Yu is not afraid at all.

One more thing, Xia Yu is a shareholder after all. If he really does nothing, it would be too unkind. When he should move, he should move, and he should reciprocate!

Besides, if Huashang Bank makes money, he also makes money, right?
