Chapter 773
Calculating the time, Li Changheng knew that Boyin 747 should officially start commercial operation in 1970.
Ultra-large range and large passenger capacity are basically only used in cross-border flights in this era.
So to some extent, Boyin is at a disadvantage for the sake of sales and the relationship between Boyin and Pan Am.
In turn, if airlines want to pursue the 747, they will have to wait until the 747-300 and other fuel-efficient models appear.
And the United States has opened up restrictions on airlines.
Only when domestic and international routes are no longer used to limit the business scope of various airlines.
To achieve this goal, if I remember correctly, it will take at least 6 or 7 years.
As the former vice president of Boyin, Taylor would speak well of Rockefeller, and Li Changheng did not think it was any surprise.
Although Rockefeller did not hold any airline company, the identity of the major shareholder has a lot of influence on the board of directors of each airline company.
Even like Li Changheng, only 17% of the shares are needed to determine the decision-making of Citigroup, and even the direction of operation and investment.
The only thing that worries him is that the oil crisis has led to a sharp rise in oil prices. American oil companies represented by Rockefeller will soon become the largest corporate conglomerate in the United States.
However, this may be a good thing.
After a little thought, Li Changheng understands that according to the profit-seeking nature of capital, asset protection, and the extreme lack of crude oil in the market, companies such as Mobil will increase investment in oil fields and refineries, for example.
It takes big, big amounts of cash.
What should I do if I lack money?
Very simple, mergers, financing, swap shares.
Although doing so has indeed inflated oil companies, it also means that the proportion of holdings has dropped significantly, which once again reduces the control of large family-style consortiums over the company.
Of course, knowing the news in advance may also allow Rockefeller to prepare and become even bigger.
But this is also an opportunity for Citigroup and Li Changheng himself to acquire shares in Float.
Thinking of this, Li Changheng glanced at the shareholders of Citigroup, and those in charge of companies who have a deep relationship with Citigroup like Boyin.
A dozen or so names of the most influential and powerful people were quickly reported.
Then, looking at the thirty or so people with dissatisfaction or unwillingness on their faces, they said, "Everyone else should go out, and if we have any actions in the stock market, if you are prepared, you will definitely not be able to hide it."
Everyone thought about it for a while, and soon realized that Li Changheng didn't have to hide it from them. After all, he could know Li Changheng's actions by staring at the investment department of Citigroup.
The reason for this is largely for confidentiality.
The dozen or so people whose names were called also reacted and nodded to the acquaintances, signaling that everyone should not be in a hurry.
Even Rockefeller Jr. said with a smile, "The financial operations may be kept secret for a day or two, but the actions of oil companies are basically not kept secret at all."
Soon, more than thirty people left the meeting room reluctantly.
Li Changheng said with a smile, "I'm sure I won't say anything too specific, because it involves my future plans."
Those who stayed were taken aback for a moment, and then, as Li Changheng expected, their eyes lit up.
The reason why Li Changheng said this is very simple, it is to use the benefits to seduce the people present.
Once the desert tycoon really implements the oil embargo, it means that Li Changheng guessed the result twice in a row.
These people will definitely pay more attention to his follow-up plans. After the crude oil has been sold, Li Changheng, who has nearly 2 billion in hand, can really go into battle with ease.
Unite this group of forces that have come to your door and have to join to build an island country.
"But since the main purpose of your coming to me is to know my opinion on crude oil prices, then I can tell you with certainty that the price of oil will definitely rise, and it will increase by at least 2 times."
Little Rockefeller didn't bother to ask Li Changheng what follow-up plan he had, and asked eagerly, "Why?"
"It's very simple," Li Changheng grinned, "Six years ago, during the third desert war, the Yiseleans occupied the Golan Heights and even advanced to the west of the canal.
This is the same as the French occupation of the territory of the northern German industrial area after World War I, and the fuse of the war has been laid long ago.
And this is the main reason why I dared to buy 133.2 million barrels of crude oil two and a half years ago as a gamble.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the war would drag on until now. "
God.
While everyone felt unbelievable, recalling the deeds and remarks of the Egyptians and desert tyrants who had been deprived of their land these years, they soon felt as if it was true as Li Changheng said, the war was doomed long ago.
Now that the war has really started, no one can doubt Li Changheng who predicted all this.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared at Li Changheng with expectant expressions on their faces.
He smiled and continued, "In this war, the desert people fought extremely smoothly at the beginning, and if they hadn't even expected the result, the armored forces rushed too fast, and the follow-up air defense equipment failed to keep up.
Coupled with the full support of the United States in terms of equipment and personnel, a large number of tanks in Egypt were destroyed by air-to-surface missiles, and they had to stop their advance.
Maybe the little brother of the United States in the desert area can no longer bear it, forcing the United States to end in person. "
After everyone listened, they thought for a while and nodded. World War I and World War II showed that not every country would surrender when its capital was occupied, like the Gallic Rooster.
As long as the United States plays in person, it is still possible to keep Israel.
But if this is done, the country of America, which has already suffered a great loss on the Vietnam battlefield, will definitely become weaker.
"Since the people in the desert saw the hope of victory at the beginning, but they were broken by the country of the United States, if you were local tyrants in the desert, how would you retaliate, or frighten the country of the United States in a short time, and buy more time and opportunities for Egypt?"
"God," Taylor exclaimed without Li Changheng needing to say more, "It must be the reduction in oil production, after all these years we have become accustomed to the stimulating effect of low oil prices on the economy.
Otherwise, the economic crisis of 69 is not as simple as the low dollar falling and the subsequent collapse of the gold standard. "
Li Changheng chuckled, "Reducing production? Taylor, your thinking is too simple. Think about it in a more serious way."
FK.
The first thought in the minds of the dozen or so people present was to unilaterally raise the price and not even sell oil to the United States.
Seeing the greedy eyes of everyone, Li Changheng deliberately seduced, "Gentlemen, be prepared to mobilize funds. You can earn several times the profit just by buying stocks of oil companies such as Mobil and Conair."
Damn it, when everyone turned their heads to stare at Little Rockefeller, this guy was cursing Li Changheng in his heart.
All fools know that Li Changheng's target is definitely not the stocks of these oil companies, but the several times the profits that Li Changheng has fooled will definitely make the forces present focus on the major oil companies including the U.S. float.
Little Rockefeller panicked, and quickly suggested, "Gentlemen, I think we can take advantage of the sharp drop in oil prices and lack of confidence in the market to jointly acquire small and medium-sized oil companies and oil fields."
