Fu Rongqi looked at Feng Yu in disbelief: "The US will go to war with Iraq? How is this possible? "
"Why not? The United Nations had requested Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait, and even the Soviet Union had agreed. But Iraq will never withdraw its troops. Kuwait's assets will make Saddam lose his mind. If Kuwait really becomes a province of Iraq, then it will affect the economies of Europe, the US, Japan, and many other countries. Iraq will also be able to control the oil prices. Of course, there is another important point. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse, and the US can use this opportunity to test the Soviet Union's attitude. "
Iraq had always been the Soviet Union's underling. The Iraqi army was fully equipped with Soviet equipment. If not, they would not be able to occupy Kuwait within a day.
In the Gulf region, Iraq's military might was indeed the strongest. But in the world, Iraq was nothing. Iraq thought that the Iran-Iraq War was a war, and other countries had tolerated it. But Kuwait's position was different.
Every war will affect the world's economy. This time, of course, was no exception. After that, Feng Yu analyzed the inevitability of the war from many aspects.
"That's not right. If there is a war, then the oil prices will increase. After all, the oil fields will be damaged by the war, and the oil production will decrease. That will fulfill Saddam's wish of 'limiting the production and increasing the oil prices'." Fu Rongqi could not understand. The production had decreased, but the demand had not decreased. The price will increase. This was the law of economics.
"But there are not only Iraq and Kuwait in the world. There are also Iran, Saudi Arabia, and even the Soviet Union. They will surely increase their production. Europe, the US, Japan, and other countries will do everything they can to suppress the oil prices. Most importantly, the depreciation of Rubles is equivalent to the appreciation of the USD. If the USD appreciates, then the oil prices will fall! "
Feng Yu's analysis was bold. Although it made sense, it was not enough to convince Fu Rongqi. But Fu Rongqi felt that what Feng Yu said about gold was reasonable.
He wanted to know if this analysis was done by Feng Yu himself, or if Feng Yu had a team behind him. Or maybe this information was analyzed by China's government team, but Feng Yu had a channel to get this information.
"Xiao Yu, you are very knowledgeable about the international financial and economic situation. Do you have many like-minded people in China?" Fu Rongqi asked.
"Not just in China," Feng Yu answered with a smile. Go ahead and guess, go ahead and guess. Why can't you guess? I'm a reincarnated person!
"Xiao Yu, what do you think of Hong Kong's economy? Do you think there are any good investments?"
Hong Kong? Feng Yu did not expect Fu Rongqi to ask this question. Hong Kong is the Fu Family's headquarters, and you are asking me?
Feng Yu thought about it and gave two answers. "Telecommunications and real estate."
The communications were controlled by the two men with the surname Li. If the Fu family were to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth, it would be risky. But the real estate market was very big, and it should not be a problem for the Fu Family to get one or two pieces of the cake.
Now, there were many Hong Kongers who were afraid of the return. They felt that China's political parties will nationalize all their assets and make them like the Chinese. All Hong Kongers will work the same jobs and get the same low salaries.
Many Hong Kongers even wanted to emigrate to Scotland, Malaysia, or Southeast Asia. It was easy to bring their assets with them, but what about their houses? If everyone wanted to leave, they would not even be able to sell their houses!
Although Hong Kong's property market had shown signs of recovery in the past two years, it was not significant. The property prices were still very low, and many people would rather rent than buy a house. Even if they could afford the mortgage, and the rent was not cheaper than the mortgage.
Feng Yu had thought that if he had enough funds, he could invest in a few plots of land in Hong Kong or buy some old buildings to renovate. By 1995, Hong Kong's property prices would increase by at least 2 times!
This was a very stable and profitable investment. But the drawbacks were also obvious. The funds needed for this investment must not be low.
"Xiao Yu, are you going to invest in Hong Kong? If you need my help, I will be more than happy to help. " Fu Rongqi also returned the favor. Feng Yu had told him this important information, and although this was considered as compensation to Fu Rongjing, Fu Rongqi still had to show his gratitude.
"Ok. If I need anything, I will help."
… …
After dinner, the Fu Family left, and Feng Yu made a phone call. He had asked his men to look for the Hong Kong gold investor in his previous life. Feng Yu wanted to recruit him.
"You are Mr Feng? I did not expect you to be so young." He Zhaoji saw Feng Yu and was stunned for 2 seconds. Didn't they say that a tycoon was going to set up a financial company? This was a tycoon from China? He was too young. Did he really have so much funds?
"Mr. He, I think I did not make myself clear over the phone. I think I should speak to you face to face. I have a fund of no less than 500 million USD, and I am preparing to set up a company in Hong Kong to make some investments. Recently, I am optimistic about the gold market, and I heard that you are knowledgeable about the gold market. That's why I would like to invite you over to help me. What conditions do you have? Just tell me. "
"Mr Feng, you trust me so much?"
"Of course. I still need to give you a test. I want to hear your analysis of the gold market before I make a decision."
500 million USD, even if it was a conservative investment, the annual returns would be at least 10%. That would be 50 million USD profits. If he was in charge of this investment company, his annual salary should be 500,000 USD or even higher. This was much easier than investing in gold himself.
But there were also disadvantages. There were many financial brokers who had helped their boss to invest and lost money. In the end, they died on the streets. But He Zhaoji still decided to take a gamble. He believed that his analysis was correct. He will surely help his boss to make high profits, and he will also get a handsome commission.
He Zhaoji started to analyze the gold market, and Feng Yu listened attentively without interrupting. In Feng Yu's previous life, He Zhaoji had suddenly become famous in 1990 to 1991. His analysis was the same as what Feng Yu knew. He had been doing gold futures for 5 years and was experienced. Feng Yu decided to hire this person!
… …
Fu Rongqi was listening to his team's analysis. Everyone agreed that the gold market will rise at the end of this year. But only some people agreed that the gold market will rise after the drop in gold prices early next year.
No one agreed that the oil prices will fall early next year. All of them felt that if there was a war, then the oil prices will rise!
Feng Yu's analysis was based on the depreciation of Rubles, the deterioration of the Soviet Union's situation, and the US starting a war. But none of his team had analyzed these things before.
If what Feng Yu said was true, then Feng Yu's sources of information were too scary!
Fu Rongqi decided to see if things would develop as Feng Yu said. If Feng Yu was right, then the Fu Family only has one choice. They must be friends with Feng Yu!
