Li Hualong does not remember the exact time of the first global oil crisis, but he vaguely remembers that it was mid-October or mid-November 1973, but he is sure that the oil crisis lasted not a short time. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? ，

Whether it is modern society or ancient times, every crisis can benefit some people.

For example, in the event of a drought, the grain harvest failed, in ancient times, the rich people saved enough grain early, and when the disaster year came, they could sell high-priced grain, while in modern times, ordinary people do not need to buy their own grain storage so troublesome, just invest the funds directly in the futures market, easy and convenient, but also through financial leverage, to obtain greater returns.

Li Hualong had thought about making a profit by investing in the oil futures market by several listed companies under his absolute control, but after careful consideration, he felt that this was not the right way, and he gave up this idea, and his own wholly-owned enterprises, no matter what industry they operated, as long as the company had money on its books, it could be used to invest in oil futures, and at the same time, it could be kept confidential.

Although he knew that after the outbreak of the global oil crisis, the international oil price would skyrocket, Li Hualong did not plan to use the maximum leverage to buy international crude oil futures, first, he was worried that the risk would be too great, and second, he was worried that even if he did a good job of keeping secrets, some people would know that he had made amazing profits by investing in oil futures, and others would definitely look at him with strange eyes, which would be somewhat unfavorable to his future development.

Li Hualong didn't want to see him as a "weirdo" who could predict the future, he had thought that in the future, his company would also invest in several failed projects, of course, the failed projects would lose very little money.

The first oil crisis broke out, the international oil price skyrocketed, that's for sure, Li Hualong predicted that it would cause the price of gold to rise, even if such a forecast was wrong, it was not a big problem, now the price of gold per ounce is about 100 US dollars, he remembers it very clearly. At the beginning of 1980, the price of gold per ounce exceeded $800, and holding gold for a long time could also be profitable.

Within seven years. The price of gold has risen from $100 to $800 per ounce, a sevenfold increase, and Li Hualong feels that gold is an international commodity that can be sold at the peak of gold prices in the future as long as he operates it properly. Of course, he also knows that he can't use all the funds in his hands to invest in gold, and if he really does that, it will definitely disrupt the international gold market, thereby changing the trend of gold prices, and it will be difficult for him to make money from it.

Li Hualong's expectation for investing in gold is to make five or six times the profit in seven years. To be able to exceed five times, he is very satisfied.

Compared with investing in international crude oil futures and investing in gold, in the eyes of ordinary people, the former is risky, Li Hualong of course knows that he chooses the right time to invest in international crude oil futures, the risk is not large, and he attaches more importance to the investment in oil futures.

As early as January 1972, Li Hualong had already tried to invest in international crude oil futures in several major futures markets around the world for more than a year. Instead of losing money, it also earned, with a profit margin of more than 20%.

Previously, Li Hualong's investment company made more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars by investing in international crude oil futures. For ordinary Hong Kong people, this is a huge amount of money, and Li Hualong is the richest man in China, he naturally does not look at it, what he values more is that through more than a year of investment, he has figured out the way. He has cultivated some talents, and in the future, he will be able to make better use of the oil crisis to make money.

On a late May evening, Li Hualong sat in his study with his four wives chatting.

As soon as the five of them sat down, Liu Minchen asked, "Husband, so far, how much has the global box office of the movie "Game of Death" been?" ”

"The global box office exceeded $320 million, and I don't know the exact number, but there must be a box office that was concealed."

Li Hualong smiled slightly, sighed lightly, and continued: "This film won 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, and it may be that for a long time in the future, Hong Kong films will not be able to surpass the global box office record and Hong Kong box office record set by "Game of Death". ”

"How much profit?" Liu Minchen asked again.

"The investment producer made a profit of more than 72 million US dollars, and when Bruce Lee died, his family could get more than 36 million US dollars at the box office, which was before taxes. The inheritance tax in the United States is very high, and at my suggestion, Bruce Lee's widow decided to become a Hong Kong citizen and moved to Hong Kong with her two children. ”

"This film has made Huayi Brothers Pictures make so much money, how are you going to spend it?" Chen Sisi asked curiously.

"All for investment in several projects in Singapore." Li Hualong replied.

"You registered an investment company directly in Singapore?" Xi Chongyi asked.

"I registered an investment company in Singapore, but I am not a direct shareholder of this company, the shareholder is an investment company registered on an overseas offshore island, and if I want to resell my investment project in Singapore in the future, I can directly sell the shares of the investment company registered on the offshore island, so that I can avoid taxes."

The four wives and concubines took turns asking a few questions, and Li Hualong answered them one by one.

"In a few days, Bao Yugang's second daughter is getting married, which of you will accompany me?" Li Hualong smiled and took the initiative to ask a question.

"I'm not going, and at the beginning of this month, we attended the premiere of "Brave Heroes" together." Yang Meng said.

"Let Sisi go with you." Xi Chongyi smiled.

Li Hualong was afraid that Chen Sisi would also refuse, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Sisi, you go with me." Abba, Mama, they'll be there too. ”

Chen Sisi asked, "Will the eldest brother and sister-in-law go?" ”

"They will go. Ah Hu will also bring his family to attend. Li Hualong smiled, glanced at the four wives and concubines a few times, and continued, "I don't think the four of you will accompany me to Bao Yugang's daughter's wedding, and there is nothing. ”

"This is not an occasion that has not yet arrived. When Sheng Quan got married, didn't we all arrive, and when Sheng Hua and Lin Yu got married, we would definitely accompany you to the wedding together. Xi Chongyi smiled.

"Okay, I hope Brother Bao won't pick on the thorns." Li Hualong said with a smile.

Bao Yugang's second daughter is named Bao Beirong, and her married husband is Wu Guangzheng.

Bao Yugang has four daughters and no sons, and after a hundred years, he left a daughter and son-in-law in his inheritance.

Li Hualong has Wu Guangzheng in his memory, knowing that this person is Pao Yugang's favorite son-in-law, leaving most of the inheritance to this person, who runs two companies, Wharf and Wheelock, and is a well-known and wealthy man in Hong Kong.

During his travels in Hong Kong, the later Li Hualong visited Harbour City, which is owned by Wharf.

After Bao Yu just set a time to marry his second daughter, he said hello to Li Hualong and said that the wedding of his second daughter would be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Li Hualong and Bao Yugang have been dealing with each other for 20 years, and the two have a great relationship, they are peers, and he treats Bao Yugang's daughter as a niece.

When his niece got married, Li Hualong naturally couldn't help but say that he took the initiative to hold a wedding banquet in the hotel, and he covered it all, the hotel was his, and the free order meant a thing.

Bao Yugang refused to take advantage of this, at the beginning, he invited Li Hualong to take a stake in the Global Shipping Group, he managed well, operated the company to go public, although Li Hualong obtained rich returns on this investment, but Bao Yugang still felt that he owed Li Hualong a lot of favors.

Not to mention, without Li Hualong's funds, Global Shipping Group may not have been created, and in the development of this company, Li Hualong has given a lot of help and provided loan reports for this company many times.

Li Hualong was not angry at all about Bao Yugang's refusal to accept the wedding banquet sponsorship he gave, and he did not insist, and specially asked some information about the groom's official.

Li Hualong learned from Bao Yugang's mouth that Wu Guangzheng was born in the magic capital and obtained a master's degree in business administration from a university in the United States.

After knowing Wu Guangzheng's situation, Li Hualong said some good things and praised Bao Yugang for finding a good son-in-law.

A few days later, Li Hualong and Chen Sisi attended the wedding of Bao Rong and Wu Guangzheng.

Li Hualong's wedding gift is a pair of Zhang Daqian's Chinese painting "Lotus Mandarin Duck", and he also personally painted the inscription, although his brush words can not be compared with those "everyone", but he feels that he will not be ashamed to inscribe on Zhang Daqian's painting.

Today, Bao Yugang is a well-known rich man in Hong Kong, he married his daughter, Li Hualong felt that giving a big red envelope was too vulgar, not to mention that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, he chose to send elegant things.

In traditional Chinese culture, when getting married, the mandarin duck is not lacking in missing elements, the mandarin duck is pillowed, Li Hualong is not good to send bedding to the bed, and to send the deputy "Lotus Mandarin Duck", there is auspicious meaning, Zhang Daqian is a contemporary art master, Zhang Daqian's "Lotus Mandarin Duck" as a wedding gift, without losing face, there is a very appropriate situation.

Li Hualong thought that in the future, the price of Zhang Daqian's paintings would rise a lot, and it was worth Wu Guangzheng and Bao Xiangrong's descendants to keep collecting, and he mentioned the words on them, which could be used as proof of his friendship with Bao Yugang.

Li Hualong has a lot of ambitions, he wants to make his family the most wealthy family in the world, in the future, he will become a myth, in the eyes of Bao Yugang's descendants, Bao Yugang can become friends with Li Hualong, it is a thing worth showing off.

In the past 20 years, Li Hualong has collected a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, and some people who have just immigrated to Hong Kong from the mainland have sold antique calligraphy and paintings in order to make a living, and in addition, he has bought a large number of paintings by contemporary painters from the mainland through various channels.

In a few decades, the price of antiques and paintings by modern masters will skyrocket, Li Hualong knows this situation, he thinks that buying antiques now, is to pick up a bargain, now, he knows a lot of Hong Kong antique dealers.

Antique dealers know that Li Hualong is rich, and they are willing to spend money to buy antiques, and when they see valuable antiques, they will think of Li Hualong for the first time. (To be continued.) )
