Chapter 525： The United States is difficult

The YSL revolution broke out in Iran and the news of stopping oil exports immediately shook the whole world.

Especially those developed countries that need a lot of oil for development are even more frightened.

In the New York futures market, the world’s first oil futures just appeared more than a month ago. The price jumped directly from the price of 14.8 US dollars a barrel to 16.1 US dollars a barrel. With the influx of capital, the price is still increasing rapidly. Speed ​​up.

Governments of various countries have issued orders to send personnel to Iran in an attempt to obtain the latest and most complete information.

The governments of various countries can wait, but the capitalists of the world will not wait foolishly.

None of the capitalists are fools. They all know that once the revolution breaks out, it cannot be over in just ten and a half days.

As a result, when Iranian oil will be sold again, no one can say, what if it will take a few months? Or even a year or a few years?

Other countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, are powerless even if they want to seize the Iranian market. After all, oil extraction does not happen overnight.

Therefore, capital has foreseen that the price of oil will continue to rise in a short period of time, which will be followed by a series of vicious reactions, inflation, and the continued depreciation of the dollar.

Originally, European and American countries have fallen into an economic quagmire. The rise in international crude oil prices has made all countries worse, and even a slight improvement has been cast a shadow over them.

So in order to avoid losses, capital began to take refuge quickly.

There is no doubt that gold has become the only refuge for capital!

Huge amounts of funds poured into the world’s New York and London gold markets. Not only securities companies, fund companies, and asset management companies, but even banks and central banks around the world bought gold in the first place to preserve their assets.

What's more, some industrial companies also put idle funds into the gold market.

As a result, massive amounts of funds poured into the gold market, pushing up the price of gold.

Faced with the huge amount of funds coming in, the major banks in London were in a mess. Xia Yu's funds suddenly appeared insignificant, market information became chaotic, and Xia Yu's safety increased greatly.

...

Xiangjiang, the Bao family mansion.

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were sitting together drinking tea, their faces filled with bright smiles.

"Tsk tusk, Lao Huo, I didn't expect that Xia Yu actually fought for London Gold, and predicted the outbreak of the crisis more than half a month in advance. It seems that his intelligence capabilities are too strong!"

Bao Yugang said with deep emotion, with a look of admiration.

"Yes, his business intelligence capabilities are really strong. No one in Xiangjiang can match him. After all, Jiuding News Agency is spread all over the world. This is the only one in Xiangjiang!"

Huo Yingdong nodded his head agreeably, and at the same time raised the importance of Jiuding News Agency by several levels in his heart.

It can be said that the news agency is a heavy weapon of the country, and it is generally supported by the state, but Xia Yu has one privately.

Huo Yingdong suddenly had the urge to create a news agency in an instant, but fortunately, he didn't lose his mind and knew that he didn't have the ability, so he suppressed the sudden impulse in his heart.

"However, Xia Yu is also bold and daring to gamble, or his internal market analysis power is strong. If it is us, he may not dare or discover it."

"Indeed, although Xia Yu is young, he can be said to be the first in Hong Kong in terms of the overall situation. Even if I have been around for decades, I think I can't match him."

"Now the price of gold has risen by more than 10%, and our profits alone are nearly tens of millions of dollars. Not to mention, I really feel ashamed. After all, we have done nothing."

Bao Yugang shook his head with emotion, his expression a bit complicated.

Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "Old Bao, what do you want to do so much? Since the entire Xiangjiang, Xia Yu only took the two of us, then we will write down this favor and pay it back slowly. You are not yet confident to provide Xia Yu in Xiangjiang. help?"

"How is this possible? Even though the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are in great shape now, but you and I are working together, and you are not afraid of anyone. How can I not help Xia Yu?"

Bao Yugang said loudly, the words have the power of the richest man in Hong Kong.

He and Huo Yingdong were able to stand on the top of the Xiangjiang River, naturally quick thinking, and able to guess part of Xia Yu's mind, but they had no opinion.

After all, Xia Yu chose them because he was worthy of them. Mutual benefit and alliances between businessmen are normal.

Xia Yu can choose other people, but they have no choice.

With Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's dripping grace as Yongquan, they had already made up their minds to support this little brother.

"Lao Huo, Xia Yu is not in Xiangjiang during this time. We can't slap ourselves in the face. I'm not as good as you in that aspect. I need you to bear with me."

Bao Yugang narrowed his smile and said solemnly.

"No problem, if you and I can still see an accident, what face do we have to mix in Xiangjiang?"

An edge flashed in Huo Yingdong's eyes, and he said solemnly.

...

Liu Xiao, George Berkeley and others were busy working on the matter, but Xia Yu seemed to have nothing to do.

Wandering outside, I came to the vicinity of Huashang Bank before I knew it.

Thinking of being a shareholder and director of Huashang Bank, but not fulfilling his due responsibilities and obligations, Xia Yu thought about it and went to Huashang Bank.

In the respectful voice of the staff, Xia Yu took Li Qian upstairs and saw Wu Hongyi was busy.

Seeing Xia Yu's arrival, Wu Hongyi put aside his work and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, why are you here?"

"As a member of the bank, how can I just hang around?"

Xia Yu said noyu, making Wu Hongyi laugh.

"Yes, yes, look at my mouth."

"Come on, drink tea and talk."

Then, Xia Yu entered Wu Hongyi's office and drank tea.

"Hony, how is the bank's capital flow now? If there is free funds, I suggest buying all gold to maintain its value."

Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said seriously.

Wu Hongyi put down his teacup and thought through his eyebrows: "There is still a lot of funds. I also watched the news at noon. The revolution broke out in Iran. Now the price of gold is skyrocketing. But Xia Yu, I am still struggling. Has the pressure of the United States been shutting down oil exports? Will the United States also intervene as before? What if it suddenly reopens its exports?"

Xia Yu said: "Don't worry, the revolution will not end in a short time. Iran wants to eliminate the constitutional monarchy. Ruhola Mousavi Khomeini has been in exile overseas for more than ten years, and the revolution is directed by remote control. If he fails to achieve his goal , How can you stop?"

"In a deeper sense, this time it was the Soviet counterattack against the United States. It is estimated that the United States did not expect the revolution to erupt so quickly. Even if the United States wants to intervene, the Soviet Union will have measures. You must know that Iran is next to the Soviet Union! The American whip is beyond its reach!"

This view of Xia Yu is very novel. Wu Hongyi had never thought about it from a political perspective before. At this time, when he heard it, he suddenly felt that his thinking became broadened. He carefully chewed Xia Yu's view.

"That has the support of the Soviet Union. Didn't Khomeini say that success is very likely? The Soviet Union should want to end the revolution as soon as possible and take control of Iran?"

Wu Hongyi asked.

"Revolution is not that simple. Even if the Soviet Union wants to settle as soon as possible, it needs to look at the actual situation."

"At the same time as this revolution, it should be a strategy of the Soviet Union to stop exporting oil. This is to make European and American countries in a dilemma. It has to be said that the Soviet Union seized a good opportunity. Therefore, the revolution is unsuccessful and Iranian oil will never be exported again. NATO The overall pressure is not good either!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, admiring the Soviet plan in his heart.

Wu Hongyi didn't expect there to be a Taoist inside. He suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What's the solution?"

"The European economy is now in a dilemma, but Europe is extremely dependent on oil from the Middle East, while the United States itself is in a dilemma of inflation. Both oil and the US dollar have been hit. The US government must find a way to end this bad situation as soon as possible, which requires the United States to admit defeat. "

"But if the United States invests its forces in Iran to compete with the Soviet Union, then the revolution will become a proxy war between the two sides, and because of the popular and religious issues in Iran, the United States must invest several times the energy of the Soviet Union if it wants to win. Too big."

"This fight will take a long time. When the United States intervenes, anti-American sentiment in Iran will skyrocket. If Iran does not export oil, the United States will not be able to stand it. The Soviet Union will have nothing to do."

"After all, the Soviet Union was originally blocked by European and American countries, and it has reached this point. The Soviet Union itself does not lack oil and is completely self-sufficient."

"Even as a last resort, Europe will have to buy Soviet oil to survive. Then the NATO blockade is about to open. This is not what the United States wants to see."

"So now, the US government has no choice. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than reaching out to take care of other countries' affairs, it is better to solve its own troubles first."

Xia Yu smiled and talked freely.

"So under the passive resistance from Europe and the United States, the Iranian revolution has basically stabilized and succeeded, but the United States will definitely not let it go, and the Middle East will become lively in the future."

"Oh, it's far, let's talk about the current gold price."

"Even if the Iranian revolution succeeds, it will take at least a few months or even half a year. Therefore, it is impossible for oil to be re-exported within these few months, and there is still a lot of room for gold prices to rise."

"One more thing, even if Iranian oil is re-exported, the consequences of inflation in the United States will be added fuel to the fire. The dollar will continue to depreciate, which is not so easy to reverse. Therefore, in the past two years, the price of gold has risen. !"

After listening to Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi suddenly felt bright. He smiled and said with emotion: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years. I have been taught!"

"I will arrange funds to invest in the gold market later."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and Feng Qingyun calmly picked up the tea.

I didn't tell Wu Hongyi before the revolution broke out because the old fox of the Wu family was there. The risk was too great and it was not worth Xia Yu.

Even if he is a shareholder of Huashang Bank, it is not worth his risk.

But now it's different. Things happened. It's okay to mention Wu Hongyi. Even if Wu Chengde is suspicious, it is useless. After all, there is no evidence and Xia Yu is not afraid.

One more thing, Xia Yu is a shareholder after all. If he really doesn't do anything, it would be too unkind. You still have to move when you need to move, and you should give it back!

Besides, Huashang Bank makes money, isn't it?
