Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 196 Mr. Guo’s joy and sorrow

The night was dark, and the sea breeze with a bit of sea smell blew away the remaining heat from the sun all day long.

"It's unbelievable!" Mr. Guo was sitting in the sea-viewing pavilion, looking at the sea in the distance, thinking of the news he had just seen, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Iraq has mobilized troops to the Iraq-Kuwait border, and the number is as high as 50,000. Kuwait has a total area of ​​only more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is not as large as the capital of China, and its total population is only more than one million. It is known as the Second World War.

Compared with the strength of the 10,000-strong army of the Iraqi army that fought the Iran-Iraq war for eight years, it can be completely ignored. It can be said that as long as the Iraqi army advances into Kuwait, the occupation of Kuwait will be a certainty.

Although I have long known from Fang Mingyuan that Fang Mingyuan believes that the Gulf region will continue to be turbulent after the ceasefire of the Iran-Iraq war, which will affect the world's oil prices, and Iraq is the source of turmoil. And Kuwait is likely to be the unlucky guy.

.He still clearly remembers what Fang Mingyuan said at that time to convince him.

Although those words made him feel very incredible at the time, he had to admit that what Fang Mingyuan said had a certain truth and was in line with logical reasoning. Moreover, as time went by, it became more and more obvious.

With a lot of information gathered together, Fang Mingyuan's original guess is gradually becoming a reality. Mr. Guo is also secretly glad that his decisiveness at that time allowed Guo's Shipping Group Company to seize a rare development opportunity. In this way

It is not an exaggeration to call this opportunity a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In just a few months, hundreds of millions of huge capitals may obtain an astonishing profit of not less than 100%, or even 1,000%. Such an astonishing

The profit margin was so high that Mr. Guo, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel excited and hid in the Guanhai Pavilion alone.

"Hahahaha..." Mr. Guo laughed loudly against the sea breeze.

"Dad, what makes you so happy?" Guo Tianyu's surprised voice came from behind. He had just returned home from the company, and before he could even sit down, someone told him that Mr. Guo asked him to leave the company.

After returning home, he went to the Guanhai Pavilion to look for him. Guo Tianyu naturally did not dare to neglect Mr. Guo's instructions. But when he came to the Guanhai Pavilion, he heard Mr. Guo's laughter from a distance.

Mr. Guo's laughter suddenly stopped, he looked back at Guo Tianyu and said, "You are back."

"I'm back." Guo Tianyu said respectfully.

"Well, sit down, I have something important to say to you." Mr. Guo pointed at the stone pier and said. Guo Tianyu immediately sat there obediently, but kept muttering in his heart that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong recently.

, The old man doesn’t seem to be dissatisfied with this. Is there anything important?

"How is the company's recent operating situation?" Mr. Guo asked in a deep voice, "What is the maximum amount of funds that can be mobilized within a week?"

Guo Tianyu was startled and said: "Dad, what are you doing?" Does the old man have any good ideas for making money? But a week to raise funds is a bit too urgent, right?

"Stop talking nonsense, time is urgent!" Mr. Guo glared.

"The working capital in the company is about 400 million yuan, but we can still get a lot of loans from banks." Guo Tianyu quickly replied. Because Mr. Guo has withdrawn a large amount of funds and invested it in the futures market, Guo's Shipping Group

The working capital in the company is close to the limit, which can only guarantee the normal operation of the entire group company. This situation makes Guo Tianyu grateful that it is very dangerous. It is just a matter decided by the old man, and it is useless for him to object. As long as the old man is still alive, Guo Tianyu

The old man has the final say about the Shipping Group Company.

Mr. Guo frowned. Four hundred million Hong Kong dollars was already a big sum in Hong Kong, but when it was put on the world oil futures market, it couldn't even make a splash. Moreover, this amount of money still needs to be used.

To ensure the normal operation of Guo's Shipping Group, it cannot be easily touched. However, even if it is a loan from the bank, even if it is from the Guo family, it will take a certain amount of time to go through the procedures. Especially if you don't need millions or tens of millions.

A small amount of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but a big loan of 1 billion or 800 million. In this case, it will be even harder.

Guo Tianyu looked at Mr. Guo's frown inexplicably. What happened? Why did the old man look like this? But didn't the old man look happy just now?

"I actually asked you to come here because I wanted to let you know some good news." Mr. Guo tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly. Guo Tianyu was even more confused. Since it was good news, why did Mr. Guo look like this?

, but his mood seemed very heavy. How could he understand that Mr. Guo was worried that he did not have enough funds to expand the results. If Fang Mingyuan's guess was correct, it would be early, maybe by the end of July, or at the latest in August.

In the middle of the month, the Gulf region will be plunged into war, and today is already July 22nd. "After August, nearly 10 billion in funds may be recovered, which will greatly enrich the company's cash reserves. I

I plan to use this money to purchase two more 10,000-ton ships. You can go back and ask the company's purchasing department to see what kind of ship is most suitable."

Mr. Guo's words shocked Guo Tianyu, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Dad, where did you get all this money?" He also thought that it might be the oil futures investment jointly made by Mr. Guo and Fang Mingyuan, but Mr. Guo originally started from

The funds withdrawn from the group company are only 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, including the 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars lent to Fang Mingyuan. Although I don’t know how they operate it, in the near future, the world oil price is still falling.

There is stability in the market. He can't see any possibility of profit yet.

"Of course it's investment income!" Mr. Guo said angrily. His son is more than conservative but not aggressive enough. His two daughters and son-in-law are also such people, and they are not as good as his son, who is actually his daughter-in-law.

Yu Qiuxia, with the support of that boy Fang Mingyuan, now has a bit of the momentum he had back then. Mr. Guo also has a headache sometimes. What if a hundred years later, the helmsman of Guo's Shipping Group Company becomes Guo Tianyu?

, will it slowly fall into mediocrity? In this country, there are talented people every generation. No matter what industry or industry, competition is becoming more and more fierce. If the company's performance does not improve, it will mean regression. If Guo Tianyu cannot be brave enough to explore in the future,

The market, I'm afraid...

"Income from investment? Which investment?" Guo Tianyu was even more surprised. As Mr. Guo's only son and orthodox heir, Mr. Guo would not intentionally hide any of his investments from him. But after thinking about it, he couldn't

Can't grasp the key to this.

"Of course it's oil futures investment!" Mr. Guo's eyes widened. "Don't you kid watch the TV news? Iraq and Kuwait are going to fight! The Iraqi army has been deployed on the border of Iraq and Kuwait. The Middle East

There is turmoil in the world's oil depots in the region. Do you think this will not affect the price of oil? How many times have I taught you that you must pay attention to current world affairs..."

"Dad, I didn't have time to watch TV in the company during the day. Didn't you call me here again after I came back?" After Mr. Guo finished scolding him, Guo Tianyu said aggrievedly. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to world events.

, it’s just that there are too many things in the company, and those things that have no direct impact on the company’s business, he will only look at when he gets home at night.

"Forget it, forget it, this man is old and his memory is bad!" Mr. Guo was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said with a bitter smile. He only got Guo Tianyu as his son when he was about forty years old, and now in the blink of an eye, Guo Tianyu has already

He is nearly thirty, and he himself is nearly seventy. Seventy years have been rare in life since ancient times, and he does not know how many more years he can control the Kuok Shipping Group Company.

At this time, not only people like Fang Mingyuan and Mr. Guo who had long been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Gulf noticed the sudden deterioration of the situation in the Gulf, but even those who had not paid much attention to it because of Iraq's sudden concentration of troops on the border with Iraq and Kuwait.

, and pay high attention to this place.

Among them, the executives of crude oil transportation companies, refining companies, and chemical plants are most concerned about the changes in the situation in the Gulf. The Gulf region, which has just calmed down for a short time, is seeing a resumption of war, which is bound to have an impact on the oil in the Middle East.

Extraction and transportation have a direct impact. We must know that Iraq’s oil resource reserves are second only to Saudi Arabia, ranking second in the world, and it is an important supplier to the world’s oil market. Kuwait’s oil reserves rank fourth in the world, and it is also the largest supplier in the world’s oil market.

A supplier that cannot be ignored. And unlike Iraq, which has been deeply affected by its oil exports after the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, Kuwait’s oil supply has always been quite stable. Today, these two countries rank among the top five in the world in terms of oil reserves.

If there is a possibility of war in this country, how can we not worry about these people who depend on oil for their livelihood?

For a time, the world oil market was turbulent. A large number of buying orders caused the oil price, which had been declining since January 1990, to stabilize on the day when the news came out that the Iraqi army was massing on the border between Iraq and Kuwait. At the close of the day, it actually

There is also a slight increase.

In response to the Iraqi government's accusations and military actions, the Kuwaiti government quickly refuted it, condemned Iraq's policy of threats and blackmail against Kuwait, and urgently briefed all Arab governments on the situation to explain Kuwait's position. Kuwait also informed the United Nations Secretary-General of Iraq's

The situation of the dispute and the Kuwaiti army was ordered to be on high alert. Relations between the two countries suddenly became tense.

War seems to be about to break out...
