Feng Yu does not know that Fu Guangzheng is no longer satisfied with 1 or 2 times the profits. His capital had doubled within a year, and this was a successful investment.
Furthermore, their capital was so high, and it was hard for traditional industries to achieve this. Only the financial industry was the easiest.
But Fu Guangzheng had forgotten that he was already the World's Richest Man. He had invested a few billion USD, and after he doubled his investment, he had earned another few billion USD.
But what about Fu Guangzheng? He could only invest 1 billion USD at most, and even if he doubled his investment, he would only make 1 billion USD. To most tycoons, this was already a pleasant surprise. But the gap between Fu Guangzheng and Feng Yu was getting bigger, and Fu Guangzheng was frustrated.
Just look at Kirilenko. His net worth in the past was not even comparable to the Fu Family's.
But now? Europe's Richest Man and one of the top 10 richest men in the world!
Although to others, Fu Guangzheng was also a very successful man. He was in his thirties, and his net worth was more than 10 billion HKD. He was also the Director and Deputy CEO of Taihua Holdings.
When many second-generation tycoons were at his age, other than inheriting their family business, who dares to say they were better than him? Even when compared to Superman Li, Fu Guangzheng felt that he was better than Superman Li. This was because Superman Li was more powerful than his father.
But Feng Yu was younger than him, and he had become the World's Richest Man. Even Kirilenko should not be as wealthy as Fu Guangzheng.
Others might be satisfied, but Fu Guangzheng was not.
Of course, if Fu Guangzheng took over the Fu Family, he would also be the head of a business worth more than 20 billion USD, and his assets will also increase.
But this was not what Fu Guangzheng wanted. He wanted to be like Feng Yu and Kirilenko. He wanted to become one of the top tycoons, and people will no longer call him the Fu Family's Fu Guangzheng. They will only recognize him as Fu Guangzheng, and the Fu Family will think that he was the one who led the family to glory.
Today, Fu Guangzheng had asked Feng Yu about the profits, but Feng Yu's reply disappointed Fu Guangzheng.
Fu Guangzheng did not expect 10 times the profits, but at least 3 to 5 times should not be too much. This way, his net worth will increase by a lot, and the Fu Family's assets will also increase.
The Fu Family's main investment is in the financial sector, and they can afford to invest more than the Li Family. This time, the Fu Family will become Hong Kong's top family, and Fu Guangzheng will be the next leader of the Fu Family.
But the profits were only doubled. Even if they could overtake the Li family temporarily, but if one of the Li family's subsidiaries got listed, they would overtake the Fu family again. Fu Rongqi does not want to experience being first and then be overtaken.
Luckily, the Fu Family and the Li Family's funds were more flexible this time. Li Zekai decided to discuss with his eldest uncle and father-in-law. This time, the Fu Family wants to bet more!
…
"Old He, is their funding in place?"
"It's here. Can we start building the warehouse?" He Zhaoji asked excitedly.
The funds this time were much more than the previous two times. Then, the company's profits would be higher, and he would get a bigger share.
Perhaps when this matter was over, he could retire with peace of mind. He wanted to find a livable city in the mainland and spend his remaining years in peace. Or he could go to Canada or Australia to buy a farm and enjoy the countryside.
"What is the international price of crude oil now?"
"52 USD per barrel. This month, the price had fallen below 50 USD a few days ago."
"Build the warehouse at this price. Buy that it will rise. Split it into multiple orders, and the leverage will be 5: 3: 2. Two times, four times, and five times respectively. The total is 10 billion USD! "
He Zhaoji was shocked to see so much money at the start.
But he did not ask any questions and went to make the arrangements. General Manager Feng had raised a lot of funds this time, and 10 billion USD was not a lot.
The current crude oil prices were lower than last year. In the middle of last year, crude oil prices had risen to 80 USD.
But very quickly, the prices fell back.
There were a few reasons. First, the International Crude Oil Exporting Organization had increased crude oil production, and second, more funds had entered the stock market.
Without anyone speculating, the prices will fall.
This was only a test. This was to see if there were more speculators paying attention and if someone would follow.
Only 10 billion USD, even with 10 times leverage, will not cause crude oil prices to rise by too much. But once someone suppresses the price, it might fall anytime.
Only by letting the investors think that a big investment institution had entered the market and wanted to pull up crude oil prices, and they will buy in to pull up crude oil prices.
Of course, Feng Yu was still waiting for news. For example, if Iran will announce that they will reduce their crude oil production this year, and if the International Crude Oil Exporting Organization will also adjust their crude oil production.
Once these news were announced, it will cause changes in the balance of supply and demand, and it will push crude oil prices higher.
Feng Yu was not worried about Iran. Iran will still be under sanctions because of the nuclear issue, and the leader of Iran will not change. They will still decide to reduce their crude oil production like in Feng Yu's previous life.
Now, the global economy is improving, and the demand for energy is increasing. Oil is one of the most important demand. Iran felt that they can get more money by reducing their crude oil production because oil prices will rise.
To Iran, it is reasonable for oil prices to rise to 80 USD per barrel. Now, oil prices are fluctuating between 50 to 60 USD, and it is too low. It is in Iran's interest to increase oil prices.
The other oil exporting countries also felt oil prices are too low, and they are discussing if they should reduce their crude oil production.
Of course, some countries will object to this. For example, Hua Xia.
Hua Xia's demand for energy had been increasing for the past two years. Although Hua Xia has a lot of oil reserves, they are not producing much of it. Hua Xia is one of the world's largest oil importing countries, and it will soon become the world's largest oil importing country.
The increase in oil prices is a heavy burden to Hua Xia. All sorts of petrochemical products will increase in price, and this will have a serious impact on the economy.
Of course, Feng Yu had told Zhang Ruiqiang and the rest about this, and the higher-ups will surely do something about it.
He Zhaoji followed Feng Yu's instructions and ordered his brokers to set up their stocks.
Feng Yu had spread out the stocks, and this will create the illusion that more people are investing in oil futures.
This illusion might not be able to fool those big investment institutions, but it will attract some small investment institutions or individuals to follow the trend.
Once these people start to follow the trend, more and more funds will enter the market and push up the price of oil!
