A strong cow only ploughs one piece of land, not afraid of being tired, but can plough four plots of land, ploughing in turns, after a long time, it will naturally be tired.

Li Hualong and his four wives and concubines left the study together and came to Yang Mengzhu's bedroom.

Yang Meng, Xi Chongyi, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen are all very excited tonight, just like taking drugs, the news that their husbands have paid more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars stimulates them like drugs, making them very excited.

In the end, Li Hualong scored a hat-trick in front of the gate guarded by Chen Sisi.

After scoring the goal, Li Hualong hugged Chen Sisi's delicate body tightly, shook it a few times, and lay on her body without moving.

After the clouds and rain stopped, the five of them were silent for a while, reminiscing about the absurd and wonderful moment just now.

"Brother Long, I still want it!" Xi Chongyi, who was flushed, stroked Li Hualong's back with his hand and deliberately teased him.

"Just now, you begged for mercy." Li Hualong turned over and lay between Xi Chongyi and Chen Sisi, with a happy smile on his face and some tiredness at the same time.

"I just want it!" Xi Chongyi deliberately said this, she wanted Li Hualong to take the initiative to "admit defeat".

"Do you really want it?" Li Hualong asked with a wicked smile.

"Really." A sly smile appeared on Xi Chongyi's face.

"My little brother is gone, but I still have a mouth and a hand!" Li Hualong said as he turned over and pressed Xi Chongyi under him, kissed the other party's lips, raised his big hand, and slapped her side buttocks with a click.

"Okay, okay, Brother Long, just spare me!" Xi Chongyi's body trembled and begged for mercy.

"It's called Xianggong!" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Xianggong, good Xianggong, I know it's wrong." Xi Chongyi said angrily.

"That's pretty much it." Li Hualong smiled smugly, turned over and lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. He muttered in his heart, "Chongyi has a bit of a tendency to be masochistic. ”

"Chongyi, in fact, you don't have to be afraid of him, the four of us are together. He wants to fight us now, and he can't win. Yang Meng, who was ruddy, smiled.

"Sister Mengmeng, don't say such things, it's not good to break Brother Long." Chen Sisi said seriously.

"It's still thoughtful." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Chen Sisi's cheek, "Next year." I'll take you to the United States, I won't take them. ”

"Brother Long, don't say that." Chen Sisi smiled awkwardly.

"Old husband and wife, what can't you say?" Li Hualong yawned, and his face showed some tiredness, "Tonight, let's not take a bath, and take a shower tomorrow morning." A little tired, go to bed early. ”

The big bed that Li Hualong and his four wives are sleeping on now was specially ordered by Li Hualong, and the width is 2 meters.

It's winter. Five people sleep in one bed, and it doesn't seem particularly crowded.

When he woke up, Li Hualong felt a sore back, and thought that he couldn't be so indulgent in the future, it was too much to gain and lose, and he should be a long stream.

When he got up and dressed, Li Hualong asked, "When do you want me to pay you back the money you lent me?" ”

"You gave us all the money, so we don't have to pay it back, and we don't lack money to spend." Yang Meng said.

Listen to Yang Meng say this. Chen Sisi and Xi Chongyi both said no.

"No, no." Li Hualong thought for a moment, "I feel that in the short term, the Hong Kong property market and stock market will not improve, and there are no particularly good investment projects for the time being." Or next year, I will set up four real estate companies with each of you, each with a registered capital of 1 billion, and we will each hold 50 percent of the shares. They hold 60% of the shares, I hold 40%, and as for how to invest, I will decide...... Do you say yes? ”

"I don't care." Xi Chongyi smiled.

"If I could, I would prefer to hold a stake in Huayi Brothers Media Group." Yang Meng said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Hualong responded with a smile, his tone changed, and he said, "However, we still have to set up a real estate company, the film company and the record company make money, you get dividends, deposit in the bank, and there is not much interest, it is better to invest in buying a house." ”

"What are the names of the four real estate companies?" Chen Sisi asked.

"You are the majority shareholder, you take the name." Li Hualong smiled.

Chen Sisi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I can't think of any good names. ”

"If you really can't think of a good name, just name it with our surname, and the real estate company that I have a joint venture with Aaron will be called Li Yang Real Estate Company." Yang Meng said.

After Yang Meng married Li Hualong, the name on her ID card was changed to Li Yangmeng, as did Xi Chongyi, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen, who were renamed Li Xi Chongyi, Li Chen Sisi and Li Liu Minchen respectively.

"Li Xi Real Estate Company, it's very good." Xi Chongyi smiled, "Many people use their own surnames or names to name the company. ”

"I think it's good, too, so it's decided." Chen Sisi grinned, "It's just that 500 million Hong Kong dollars is too much, and 60% of the shares is 600 million!" ”

"What is 600 million, you and I have assets of 30 or 40 billion Hong Kong dollars." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Sisi, in a few years, if Jeanswest is listed, at that time, you will hold more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in the market value of Jeanswest's shares." ”

Li Hualong said and looked at Yang Meng and Xi Chongyi, and continued: "Mengmeng, Chongyi, I will not give you the shares of the film company and the TV company for the time being, I want to merge Huayi Brothers and TVB into one company in the future, and then issue new shares to go public." Before going public, I'll give you a sum of money, and you can take a stake in this company again, okay? ”

"I just said that I would take a stake in Huayi Brothers Media Group, and I said it casually, are you still serious?" Yang Meng joked with a smile.

"Smile for the Pomeranians, and it doesn't hurt to give Huayi Brothers Media Group to you." Li Hualong smiled, "Don't talk about the line, you can go and wash." I'm hungry right now, so I'm going to eat more this morning and make up for it. ”

"You should make up for it." Chen Sisi pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll go back to my bedroom first." ”

"I'll see you at the restaurant later." Xi Chongyi took the initiative to kiss Li Hualong on the cheek.

"Aaron, Sister Mengmeng, let's go first." Liu Minchen smiled.

Last night, the five of them lived in Yang Meng's bedroom, Li Hualong stayed in this bedroom, he and Yang Meng went into the bathroom to wash up, while Xi Chongyi, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen went back to their respective bedrooms. On their way back, they all wanted to remember the ridiculous thing that happened last night.

"Aaron is going to make soft-footed shrimp today." Xi Chongyi muttered, a little gloating.

"Let the kitchen make more food today, and let Aaron make up for it." Chen Sisi cherishes his man very much.

"It's kind of fun. I don't know if it will happen again in the future......" Liu Minchen said secretly in his heart, entered the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and a touch of shyness appeared on his face, "How can I have this kind of thought in my heart?" I don't want to. It's ridiculous! ”

This time, the oil price increase launched by the Arab countries greatly increased the balance of payments deficits of the Western powers, and finally triggered the largest economic crisis in the post-war capitalist world in 1973~1975.

The oil crisis has had a great impact on a small number of countries that have relied on cheap oil, such as the United States, and deepened the world economic crisis. Industrial production in the United States fell by 14 percent, in Japan by more than 20 percent, and productivity growth slowed markedly in all industrialized countries.

Since the discovery of oil, the fortunes of Middle Easterners have begun to change.

Especially after the oil crisis, huge amounts of wealth poured into the Middle East, as if overnight, the Middle Eastern oil-producing countries transitioned from abject poverty to sudden wealth.

With petrodollars rolling in, Middle Eastern oil-producing countries are spending incredible amounts of money and building on an extraordinary scale in the coming decades. It has embarked on an all-round economic development and greatly increased the welfare benefits of the state.

On New Year's Day in 1974, Li Hualong took a nap alone in Yang Meng's bedroom.

After waking up, Li Hualong got up and sat on the bed, thinking back to the dream he had just had.

Li Hualong dreamed that he would invest in the construction of more than a dozen skyscrapers in Dubai in the future, and he received a rich return.

"How do I dream this?" Li Hualong showed a wry smile on his face, pondered for a moment, and continued to mutter, "I can go to Dubai to invest in real estate if I have the opportunity in the future." Hehe. Investing in high-tech enterprises is more profitable, but the real estate industry cannot be abandoned, and in a dozen years, you can go to the mainland to invest in real estate. You can't always think about making money. In the mid-to-late 80s, when the central government had not yet put forward a plan for the development of Pudong, I could take the initiative to talk to the government about developing Pudong. I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a suite in Pudong. Puxi got off to a good start, but Pudong has a lot of potential. Not only Pudong, but also Ningbo, Abba told me. When the national policy of the Communist Party of China changes dramatically in the future, in addition to donating large sums of money to the hometown, it is also necessary to actively develop the cause in the hometown. In the early 90s, I invested tens of billions of yuan in Ningbo, which can make Ningbo undergo earth-shaking changes, and Ningbo's conditions are no worse than Shenzhen's, and in the future, Ningbo can also develop into a first-tier city......"

After muttering for a while, Li Hualong fell into deep thought again.

"Hey!" Li Hualong smiled bitterly and patted the capital's brain, "Ten or twenty years later, there is no need to think too much about it, I should think about how to spend the funds in my hand now...... There is no need to rush to invest in the stock market, the impact of the global oil crisis will last for a while, the global economy will recession, and the stock markets of the United States and Hong Kong, as well as Japan, will continue to be sluggish...... It's impossible for me to take advantage of all the good things, it's not good to always think about getting to the bottom, and it will take a year to continue to increase my holdings of stocks, and the cost must be very low. I now have assets of 30 or 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and in another 26 years, on New Year's Day in 2000, if my assets can rise by 100 times, then my assets will exceed 3 trillion Hong Kong dollars, and it is not impossible. ”

Five months ago, Li Hualong shorted his own shares of Sony, and in the last two months, Sony's stock price has fallen sharply, and now, Sony's market value is less than $900 million, which is more than half of the peak compared with the peak.

When Li Hualong was sitting on the bed in a daze, Yang Meng came to the bedroom.

"What about dreaming of making a fortune?" Yang Meng joked with a smile.

After Li Hualong came back to his senses, he smiled and asked, "Isn't it good?" ”

Yang Meng shook his head with a smile and said, "Oh no, it's too cheesy." ”

Li Hualong smiled without mind: "It's quite cheesy, I'm just thinking about making money." ”

Yang Meng sat on the bed and asked, "When do you think international oil prices will fall?" ”

"I don't have that prediction." Li Hualong smiled, "How did you think of asking this question?" ”

"If you know when it's going to fall, you can short crude oil futures, and you can make another profit."

"In the short term, the price of oil will not come down." Li Hualong smiled and sighed, "This oil crisis will have a great impact, the global economy will recession, and many people will not have a good time in the next year or two." ”

"Is there going to be a big rise in unemployment in Hong Kong?"

"Definitely. However, I will inject more capital into my companies to expand the scale of the company and provide more jobs. ”

"For you, a crisis is a business opportunity, right?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.

"It's true for everybody, but very few people are able to take advantage of the opportunity." Li Hualong said smugly.

The impact of this oil crisis is greater than that of many people, and there are many reasons why it has had a huge impact.

First, it greatly exceeded the expectations of politicians in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

Second, the economies of developed Western countries are too dependent on oil and too dependent on Middle Eastern oil to withstand the storms.

The third is the issue of timing, just in time for the advent of another post-war Western economic recession, with oil embargoes, rising prices, and economic recessions producing a "compound effect".

In fact, the crisis has also caused some losses to the Arab oil-producing countries themselves, and the embargo has greatly reduced their oil exports and reduced their market share, but this is only a short-term loss, and in the long run, if the price of oil does not rise, even if they finish extracting the oil, they will not be able to make their citizens live a prosperous life.

After the current oil crisis, Western countries have generally felt strongly the importance of oil to the economic, political, and social life of various countries. At the same time, there is a general feeling that the past practice of relying on a small number of integrated multinational oil companies to dominate the production, supply, refining and marketing of oil in a country can no longer be adapted to the new form. These companies, even those incorporated in the country of incorporation or in which the government of the country of incorporation has a large stake in which they are incorporated, are often not able to serve the interests of the country of incorporation at critical times because of their complex and multifaceted interests in countries around the world.

As a result, Western countries have generally revised their respective oil policies in a big way, greatly strengthened their control over oil resources, production, supply, sales, and markets, and strengthened their management and restrictions on foreign oil companies.

During this period, Japan, South Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Malaysia, the Soviet Union and other countries established national oil companies. In the following 20 years, by the end of the 20th century, more than 100 national oil companies were born.

In 1973, the first oil crisis hit the Western economy hard, in order to deal with the possible new oil crisis, on February 11~12, 1974, under the initiative of the United States, 13 countries gathered in Washington, held a meeting of oil-consuming countries, and decided to establish an energy coordination group.

Later, the United States led the establishment of the International Energy Agency, whose main function is to promote the establishment of emergency oil reserves or strategic oil reserves by its member countries; Coordinate the allocation of oil between member countries in the event of an oil supply disruption caused by an emergency.
