Reborn Capital Madman

At first, Gao Xian didn't realize how effective his deception was.

Only when Huo Yingdong walked with him on the plane and changed his previous cautious investment attitude on the way, and made it clear that he was willing to follow, did Gao Xian become sure that the other party had been completely deceived by him.

If you think about it carefully, this phenomenon is not surprising.

It is no secret how long and profound the relationship between Huo Yingdong and Yanjing is.

But even so, regarding the cancellation of this year's National Day ceremony and the high-level earthquake behind it, Huo Yingdong was actually aware of it and expected it based on Gao Xian's inference.

After seeing Gao Xian's magical calculations with his own eyes, it would be strange for Huo Yingdong not to be shocked.

Moreover, you must know that at this stage, Huo Yingdong is very passive in Hong Kong. All important commercial activities are suppressed by the Hong Kong government. It can be said that he has no energy but nowhere to use it.

As his trust in Gao Xian deepens, Huo Yingdong will naturally re-examine the feasibility of this rising star in the Hong Kong business community's overseas investment plan.

Gao Xian explained: "This time I'm going to Brunei for inspection, I need to determine one thing first, who can speak the most effective way there; then I can make the specific investment."

Huo Yingdong said with admiration: "Mr. Gao's concern is that Brunei's current power structure can be described as having both an emperor and an emperor, which really makes outsiders confused."

It is necessary to point out that the area of ​​Brunei is not large, certainly larger than Singapore, and almost five times the area of ​​Xiangjiang. Historically, together with Sarawak and Sabah, which were both British colonies, it was also known as the northern part of British Borneo.

Po Sanbang.

It is not difficult to imagine that the three states of North Borneo and Singapore all hope that they can form a Greater Malaya with the Federation of Malaya, which has more abundant resources.

However, as a neighbor, Indonesia does not want to see a powerful Malaya appear next to itself.

As a result, during the establishment of Malaya, a historical event called the "India-Malaysia Confrontation" occurred, including the Brunei riots.

In December 1962, a rebellion broke out in Brunei by the North Kalimantan National Army against the monarchy and the proposal to join the Federation of Malaya.

However, because the most important operation to capture the then Sultan of Brunei, Omar Ali Saifuddin III, failed, the rebellion quickly ended in failure.

Because of this rebellion, Brunei Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin III decided that Brunei would not join Greater Malaya. In fact, this meant that neither side would be offended for the sake of peace.

On the other side of Malaya, the Federation of Malaya, Sarawak, Sabah, and Singapore formed Greater Malaya. Later, Singapore was expelled from Greater Malaya, and finally formed today's Malaya.

In October 1967, Brunei Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin III abdicated and passed the throne to his eldest son, **** Bolkiah, and Brunei became what Huo Yingdong just said.

, there is a situation where there is both an emperor and an emperor.

Gao Xian is not worried about Brunei's national destiny, because after entering the 1970s, the situation in Southeast Asia's maritime areas except Indochina is no longer as tense as before. Singapore, which is in a more sensitive position, can live well.

, Brunei is certainly no exception.

But Gao Xian was worried that if he worshiped the wrong dock in Brunei, he would not be blamed for it.

After the business community in Hong Kong entered the 1980s, many famous takeover battles took place. One example was that the shipping king Bao Yugong, who had already taken over the Wharf, went on to acquire Wheelock. At the time, his competitors

It was the famous businessman Qiu Deba.

Khoo Teck Puat, who was selected as the richest man in Singapore by Forbes magazine at the beginning of the 21st century, suffered a big failure in Brunei. When the King of Brunei, Omar Ali Saifuddin III, passed away, he was replaced by the Sultan of Brunei.

*** Bolkiah investigated and dealt with a financial fraud crime. Not only did he have to pay for it, but his eldest son was also imprisoned in Brunei's prison.

No matter where you are, the unspoken rule of one emperor and one courtier is unavoidable, but Brunei's current situation of "two kings and two kings" is really a dilemma.

In this case, why did Gao Xian have to do this multiple-choice question by himself?

The reason is very simple. Brunei is now full of industries waiting to flourish. Coupled with the foreseeable national stability, it is a rare opportunity to enter the market. It is difficult for other places to have such conditions.

Seeing that Huo Yingdong obviously had some understanding of the situation in Brunei, Gao Xian said humbly: "Huo Sheng, we need to make more use of Huo's connections in Brunei so that this trip can go smoothly!"

"There is no shirking the responsibility." After Huo Yingdong laughed, he turned to ask curiously: "Mr. Gao, crude oil is only about two dollars a barrel now. Even if we can get the oil field in Brunei as we wish, we probably won't make much money, right?

"

After all, Huo Yingdong was an outstanding big businessman, and finally turned the topic to the key point.

It is difficult for ordinary people to think of the existence of "commodities" in their daily lives, and crude oil is a commodity.

To put it simply, commodities, the lifeblood of the national economy, do not directly enter the retail sector. Their most critical pricing power reflects who has the final say in this world.

Take oil for example. Transnational oil companies under the leadership of the United States have long controlled the international price of oil and have maintained a price level of about one dollar per barrel.

As a result, countries rich in oil resources such as Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia can only watch as Western capitalist countries make a lot of money, but they do not receive fair enough benefits.

As a result, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries came into being in 1960, and its mission was to fight for the right to price crude oil.

Under this struggle, the international crude oil price has risen from one dollar to two dollars now, which is what Huo Yingdong said.

Huo Yingdong's worries are of course justified. Even if Gao Xian gets an oil field in Brunei, the oil price is determined by the big guys and he won't be able to make much money unless he invests more money to build an oil refinery to increase profits.

But in this case, it is a bit hard to earn this money, which is not as reliable as investing in real estate.

Regarding Huo Yingdong's doubts, Gao Xian couldn't help but smile and said to himself, "Looking at the tense situation in the Middle East, another war is inevitable, and an unprecedented global oil crisis will inevitably come. By then, the international crude oil price will skyrocket.

If it skyrockets to double digits, isn’t that considered a profit?”

In Gao Xian's plan, equity interests in oil fields that are still being explored, such as the North Sea and Texas, as well as crude oil futures, are opportunities that cannot be missed to increase wealth, but he is not willing to give up on making a fortune in Brunei.

Industrial opportunities.

After all, some characteristics of industry are irreplaceable.

But how to explain to Huo Yingdong his motivation for investing in the oil industry really tested Gao Xian's deception skills.
