Chapter 747 The Preview Before the Fight
It is an indisputable fact that Li Changheng likes to trouble the islanders.
This will make no matter whether it is within Morgan, the forces that have suffered from the products of the island country, or other companies in the society that compete with the products of the island country.
Once the competition becomes more and more fierce in the future, the market in the United States will be swallowed up by island companies.
These American companies that have suffered and lost the market will definitely regard him as an ally.
Even because Li Changheng is the most famous, it also proves that he has the best vision, maybe he will be regarded as the leader.
As for Rockefeller, as long as they don't enter the core fields such as oil and aviation, they might wish for someone to share the pressure of Morgan in the financial field.
The comment on the east-west transfer of the automobile industry center appeared in more than a dozen large and small newspapers under Hearst at noon that day.
Even radio and television soon had hosts.
Appear in front of all Americans by means of news, funny talk, or simply scolding him for meddling.
What Li Changheng didn't expect was that even if someone scolded him, it wouldn't be too much.
But probably there are too many people who envy and envy him.
At least 4 out of 10 people who called the radio station accused and denigrated him.
This made Hurst feel that these topics must be stopped, lest Li Changheng's image would plummet, which would affect the business.
But Li Changheng, who has experienced the future information explosion, knows it very well.
Sometimes the more people scold, the stronger the topic, and the wider the spread speed and scope
Except for the Hearst Group, most of the media groups will jump into this national discussion for the sake of newspaper sales.
Invisibly, it is equivalent to doing an advertising campaign for him, involving the whole United States.
The more people target him, the more people who only knew Li Changheng will remember this controversy in their hearts.
Moreover, the people who scolded him were basically young men.
But among women and children, at least 70% like and adore him.
It is best not to mention the money of women and children. After a few years, children will grow up and not only become the main consumers, but also affect a large part of the votes.
Besides, being scolded is not necessarily all bad.
It is tantamount to a self-defeating in disguise, which has made many capitalists and politicians who were still scruples.
I subconsciously think that since so many people don't like him, he will be the same as everyone else if he makes money, just a capitalist who is hated by the public.
Three days later, outside the big meeting room of Citigroup headquarters, Li Changheng was talking to shareholders who supported him, or hoped to get more cakes in the projects he promised.
While chatting about the prospect of the project, while waiting for the meeting to start.
Tyler Garnell walked over in a hurry and said anxiously in his ear, "Henry, I just got the news that the Egyptians announced that a week-long exercise will be held within the next seven days."
God.
A group of people immediately exclaimed, and everyone understood that the exercise might turn into a war.
And Li Changheng didn't plan at all, and he didn't dare to artificially warn or interfere in the fourth desert war.
Not just worrying about retaliation or targeting by the defeated deserters afterwards.
I am even more worried that in my own hands, the crude oil that will rise to at least 1.8 billion US dollars in the next few months will fall into my hands.
Crude oil generally has a shelf life of at most 3 years.
It has been 29 months since I bought the crude oil, almost two and a half years ago.
This kind of oil is not easy to sell. If there is no war, someone will definitely release a large amount of crude oil that will be mined within half a year or one year at this point in three years.
Come to fight against his newly rising power.
Therefore, Li Changheng would rather be scolded for being blind afterwards than express any opinions.
wrong.
I just wanted to say that Egypt has held two military exercises this year and last year, and there is nothing to be concerned about this military exercise.
But he quickly realized that no matter what he said, the crude oil was in the warehouse.
At this time, everyone knew that he was betting on war.
Fortunately, for more than half a year, no matter how much Prince Nasser of Saudi Arabia wanted to thank him for helping him earn tens of millions of dollars in the Atlantic City project, Li Changheng did not agree with Nasser.
Even, after going to the island country, he didn't even answer the phone.
the reason is simple.
The purpose is that one day in the future, when the crude oil bought for 250 million US dollars at the beginning will skyrocket to more than 1.8 billion.
Do not give US intelligence agencies and various review committees an excuse to say that he has inside information or colludes with hostile forces.
Since no one would believe it now, he was a pacifist, so he simply took the opportunity to win over Rockefeller's people in front of everyone on the board of directors.
In this way, on the contrary, it solved the hidden danger that he used a comment to show his favor to Morgan, but did not express anything to Rockefeller.
Looking at the shareholders who stared blankly at him, Li Changheng shrugged and said with a smile, "Maybe I won the bet.
Or maybe this is another demonstration exercise.
But the only thing I can be sure of is that the price of crude oil will definitely exceed 3 US dollars tomorrow. "
"God, how much did you pay for it?"
"It's definitely not more than $1.90."
After everyone heard the words, they turned around and saw Rockefeller's shareholder representatives, and quickly left to make way for the other party to come over.
"Henry, more than two years ago, we sold you 1.5 million tons, 10.8 million barrels of crude oil, the price should be $1.85 a barrel, right?"
Li Changheng smiled and nodded, "20 million US dollars, about 1.852 a barrel."
"God."
A group of people did a little calculation, and it was calculated that Li Changheng earned 12 million US dollars just at Rockefeller's place.
"Your $100 million in the hands of the deserters should have bought 54 million barrels, and the contract you gave Rockefeller plus Confly and Citigroup was $150 million.
The crude oil delivered to you should be 79.2 million barrels.
According to earning at least 1.15 per barrel, ", after a pause of about ten seconds, Li Changheng still didn't figure it out when he saw the other party.
He simply took the initiative to say, "Among the batches of crude oil I bought, Desert, Confi, and Rockefeller were all around 1.852, and only Citigroup sold me 52.2 million barrels at a unit price of 1.9 US dollars a barrel.
After deducting the storage fees for 29 months, crude oil rose to 3 US dollars, and I earned 150 million US dollars.
It rose to 4 dollars, earning 286 million. "
Hell, a group of middle-aged or old men, after hearing 286 million US dollars, basically all swear.
Doubling his income in two and a half years is nothing to Li Changheng.
But for an oil company, 2.86 divided by 250 is 114.4 million US dollars. Even if Rockefeller owns more than a dozen oil companies, the annual net profit may only be 3 or 4 times higher.
This is equivalent to the vision of Li Changheng alone, which is worth the wealth created by hundreds of thousands of employees.
"Henry, do you have any thoughts of leaving now?"
When everyone heard Alan Gay, chairman of the board of directors, speak, they immediately understood that this guy was trying to take advantage of the fire.
