"You haven't had time to do your homework yet, right?" Gao Xian said leisurely after joking: "I have a data here. Last year, Xiangjiang consumed more than 750 million Hong Kong dollars in fuel,"

"With the economic booming, Xiangjiang's dependence on oil has become increasingly higher."

"From all aspects of the situation, this year, Hong Kong's fuel consumption should be more than HK$1.7 billion."

Gao Xian took a sip of water, moistened his voice, and continued: "I think that in addition to Gao Yi's investment in oil projects, Gao Xing Group can also try some businesses such as gas stations."

Seeing that the boss had already made up his mind, Ye Licheng quickly said on behalf of other colleagues who did not follow this idea: "For a long time, the market of Xiangjiang has been flooded with foreign oil, and it is controlled by Shell, Mobil, Peninsula, Texaco and others."

"In terms of the international market, it is also controlled by multinational oil giants. Although the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has been constantly seeking bargaining power since its establishment, the price of crude oil per barrel is currently only more than two dollars."

"All these, plus the foreign exchange market, the gold market has involved a lot of energy, and everyone's understanding of oil investment is indeed a bit lacking."

Gao Xian nodded and accepted the explanation, "In this way, I will be fully responsible for oil investment. You can do more familiar gold and foreign exchange, but I want to emphasize a few points."

"This year, the US dollar continues to depreciate against gold, which is a high probability event. Gold will be the most insured asset in the next few years. You can make sure that you can make it bold and state this to your customers."

"This year's buffer period when the official government cancels gold control will put Xiangjiang Jinshi in a delicate special state."

"I expect that after summer, the market in Xiangjiang gold market will see a sudden fluctuation like the stock market in Xiangjiang last year. You must pay attention to the switching between peaks and valleys."

"The Xiangjiang foreign exchange market has been relaxed now, attracting many institutions inside and outside Xiangjiang to flock. It can be said that the transaction is active, but it cannot be ignored that the risks are also very huge, and in severe cases it can completely cause bankruptcy."

"So, our strategy, first of all, is steady, with focus limited to the US dollar, pound, West Demark, Swiss franc and yen, and I have to give me a report every week."

...

After the meeting, Gao Xian left Ye Licheng alone and asked, "Are you ready for the money I gave to Huo?"

"It's already in place." Ye Licheng nodded, "I didn't expect that the boss had become interested in investing in oil the year before yesterday and took practical actions."

"Thanks to Huo's righteous help." Gao Xian sighed: "At that time, we were concentrating all our resources to prepare for the milk company, and Huo Sheng generously took on all our investments. Now, we have completely slowed down.

As the thrill comes, the funds Huo’s advance can no longer be dragged down.”

Ye Licheng complimented: "The main reason is that the boss is highly reputable. Only big bosses like Huo Sheng can trust them so much."

Gao Xian smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about what other goals are in Xiangjiang after the milk company that are worth our struggle for this year."

After Ye Licheng was stunned, he asked tentatively: "Does the boss have fallen in love with Xiangjiang's energy market?"

Gao Xian said happily: "We have worked together for so long and we have really had a tacit understanding, and you guessed it all at once."

Ye Licheng, who subconsciously loosened his tie, couldn't help but think to himself: "It seems that this year's work is more magnificent than last year."

...

As usual, Gao Xian met Huo Yingdong at the Chinese recreation.

The reason why successful people can succeed is often inseparable from persistence.

Take Huo Yingdong for example. As long as he is in Xiangjiang, he comes to the Chinese recreational party for physical exercise almost every day, and thus becomes the biggest sponsor of this club.

Huo Yingdong, who just finished a tennis game, was very energetic.

He smiled and invited, "Let's have a game?"

Gao Xian politely declined: "No, my exercise volume is not small. Just like Huo Sheng who comes here to exercise every day, I also go to the shooting club to shoot targets regardless of wind and rain."

Huo Yingdong laughed and said, "Mr. Gao's personal hobby is really unique."

"I'm just looking for something new." Gao Xian said, taking out a folder and handing it to Huo Yingdong.

After looking at the documents, Huo Yingdong didn't say anything nonsense, and handed over the documents to Secretary Ling next to him for safekeeping, and then said, "Before the Spring Festival, should I accompany Mr. Gao to inspect Brunei?"

Gao Xian nodded with a smile, "Of course I'm so desperate."

In fact, at this stage, Huo Yingdong's focus has begun to shift.

Last year, in 1972, the diplomatic relations between China and Britain reached the normalized ambassador level, and Huo Yingdong also became explicitly protected by China.

To put it bluntly, Huo Yingdong now has a truly effective gold medal in avoiding death, and the Hong Kong government can no longer suppress or persecute him openly or secretly.

Correspondingly, it was noted that China, which had restored its seat in the United Nations, was still excluded among international sports institutions such as the Olympics, and was inspired to find solutions in its personal capacity.

As a result, Huo Yingdong's interest in the Brunei oil project is not as strong as before.

Just now, he took the initiative to accompany Gao Xian to Brunei, which is indeed quite rare.

However, the decrease in interest is due to the decrease in interest, and Huo Yingdong's keen sense of business has not changed.

So he asked curiously: "Mr. Gao is optimistic about the oil business, are there more reasons now?"

"Huo Sheng understands me, it's true." Gao Xian laughed, "I remember talking to Huo Sheng before that the Second Middle East War caused the Suez Canal to be closed, which in turn affected the pattern of maritime transportation. Ships like Bao Yugang

Wang, it was precisely because of this opportunity that he began to rise."

"I predict that the situation in the Middle East will experience a violent shock this year, causing oil prices to rise, and thus giving us unrelated bystanders great business opportunities again."

Huo Yingdong was a little stunned when he heard this, "Mr. Gao is a prediction. Will the fourth war break out in the Middle East this year?"

"The probability is extremely high!" Gao Xian explained in detail: "Since the end of the Third Middle East War in 1967, the relationship between Arab and Israel has not only not been eased, but the hatred has accumulated deeper and deeper."

"For example, during the 20th Summer Olympics held in Munich, West Germany last year, the Israeli delegation participating in the Olympics was hijacked by the Palestinian armed group Black September, which eventually led to the death of all eleven members of the delegation."

"At the same time, Egypt and Syria, which were defeated in the Third Middle East War, have been preparing for war openly and secretly in order to regain the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights occupied by Israel."
