Reborn Capital Madman

Just in November 1978, the turmoil in the Middle East, Iran, a major oil-producing country, reached a new high. The continuous strikes paralyzed the economy and major industries were shut down.

For example, 37,000 refinery workers participated in the strike, resulting in a sharp reduction in production in the oil sector, with output plummeting from six million barrels a day to one.5 million barrels a day, and exports were suspended.

Gao Xian analyzed the information he collected. Theoretically speaking, Iran's oil share in the world market is about 5% at this stage. Even if something goes wrong, other oil-producing countries will work harder and international oil companies will be humans.

Be more kind, the world will not have a second oil crisis.

But in the "old script", the second oil crisis occurred in 1979. This should be inseparable from the "contribution" of oil interest groups, and then taking advantage of the momentum to speculate, it is really impossible to hit the great fortune.

You should know that since the first world oil crisis broke out in 1973, in addition to the North Sea in Europe, Texas and Alaska in the United States, Siberia in the Soviet Union, Mexico in Latin America, Venezuela and other places, they have also become

The main force in oil supply outside the Middle East oil-producing countries.

From this perspective, the global energy supply market is not short of oil. Therefore, to make profits in a crisis, we must also observe how all forces are intrigue.

Gao Xian’s habit is that only conditions allow, he is more willing to get first-hand information, so he decided to go to the Middle East for a walk.

After two days of rest at home, Gao Xian set out and his first stop was in London, England, and by the way, he took a look at the lively place here.

This winter, the UK was filled with dissatisfaction, with widespread strikes rising and falling, and public services were paralyzed, which seriously affected the normal daily life of the people. The degree of turmoil was not inferior to that of Iran at all.

The cause is that in order to cope with the severe stagflation of the British economy, the Labor Party’s official government launched a voluntary income plan, which stipulates that the salary increase for grassroots workers should not be higher than the upper limit set by the official government.

The purpose of this is that the Labor Government hopes to use the income plan to ensure that the union and labor force should be restrained from wage increases, and to overcome the current difficulties with the Government, and ultimately suppress stagflation.

By the summer of this year, the Labor government's income plan has reached its fourth stage, requiring that the salary increase rate of grassroots workers in the UK from 1978 to 1979 cannot be higher than the "five percent upper limit".

But the upper-level elites in Britain could not truly understand the hardships of life of grassroots people. As a result, they triggered a strong response. The union began to seek to restore independent collective salary negotiations, so strikes followed one after another.

After Gao Xian got off the plane, his subordinates from the London branch came to greet him, and he was not afraid of the unchanged public services caused by various strikes.

Since he came to the UK, Gao Xian must have a visit to Mrs. Thatcher, the leader of the Conservative Party. He bet on the other side to take office and open the door to privatize British state-owned companies.

It is obvious that as the largest opposition force at present, the British Conservative Party led by Mrs. Thatcher naturally scammered the Labor Party on the Taiwan Strait and was very happy about the strike wave and stumbled on it from time to time.

When Gao Xian met Mrs. Thatcher, the other party's expression was very vigorous.

During the conversation, Gao Xian complimented: "The Labour Party's economic income plan is no longer working, and it can only be driven by the Conservative Party you lead to turn the tide."

Mrs. Thatcher said enthusiastically: "I believe that one of my missions is to reverse the recession in the UK."

Gao Xian muttered in his heart: "It's indeed one. You are still thinking about rebuilding the glory of Britain's former British Empire and strengthening its influence on international affairs. However, it is destined to be in the return of Hong Kong.

Been slapped in the face."

Mrs. Thatcher asked curiously: "Sir Gao, I heard you have gained a lot in business this year?"

Gao Xian smiled, "Do you mean I acquired Xiangjiang Land, or have I promoted ibm's acquisition of Huanyu Computer Company, and underwriting ibm's $500 million bond?"

Mrs. Thatcher said clearly: "In this way, these are really Sir Gao's hands. Then, please ask Sir Gao to increase his investment in Britain and serve as an advisor to me in terms of economics."

Gao Xian said with all his heart: "Of course I am willing to serve you, and congratulations on your impending becoming the first female prime minister in the UK."

Mrs. Thatcher happily sent an invitation and said, "Why don't I call Vivian over here, your whole family will celebrate Christmas here."

It should be pointed out that before 1978 had passed, Gao Xian and Mrs. Thatcher believed that the Labor Party, which was still in power, was about to lose, and it was not a wishful dream.

You should know that after the end of World War II, the British trade union forces quickly grew, and the basis for the Labor Party to come to power in the 1970s was to form an alliance with the trade union forces, but now, due to the income plan, it requires the restoration of independent collective wages.

The union forces in the negotiations collapsed with the Labor Party. It is completely foreseeable that the day when the Labor Party’s main government collapses is not far away, and the subsequent British general election will also be extremely unfavorable to the Labor Party.

...

After listening to Mrs. Thatcher's proposal, Gao Xian brought Yi Huirong and his son to London. However, he told the eldest lady of the Yi family in private: "I'll go to the Middle East to inspect the oil market, Christmas.

Whether the Savings have been back is not sure."

"Okay, I can handle Mrs. Thatcher." Yi Huirong, who had seen all kinds of big scenes, told her husband to rest assured. In the end, she did not forget to give a special reminder, "I heard that Iran is not peaceful,

You should pay attention to safety, or you might as well close any companies."

Gao Xian nodded, "I'm just planning to do this. After arriving in Tehran this time, I'll see how to properly handle the business of the bank branches, hotels, trading companies, etc."

...

After the plane that Gao Xian and his followers landed in Tehran, they didn't feel anything at the airport, but when they got on the car and arrived on the street, they saw what a surging crowd was.

Fortunately, Gao Xian and his group were all Chinese faces and were not noticeable. Although the speed of the car was sometimes affected, it was still smooth. Finally, they arrived at the hotel that Gao Xian invested in in the embassy area.

Gao Xian asked the supervisor here as he walked, "How is the business now?"

"Not very good." The other party replied pessimistically: "Many foreign businessmen have begun to evacuate from Tehran, and hotel operations may be restricted by the upcoming new policies."

Gao Xian nodded slightly and thought to himself: "Then let's just finish it and find another company to take over."
