After boarding the plane again, Zhu Xuefeng felt relieved as he watched the guards drive away in the jeep. It was a bad feeling to be followed at any time.
In the evening, we returned to Repulse Bay again. The atmosphere along the way seemed to be much more tense. There were obviously fewer people on the street. It seemed that the economic downturn was still continuing.
"Why are you the only one? Didn't I say that you, Junior Sister Lin, are coming with us?"
Xia Yuhong came out happily. Zhu Xuefeng hurriedly stepped forward to help her carefully. Xia Yuhong's body was already showing and her abdomen was bulging.
"I don't know what's going on. Be careful." Zhu Xuefeng complained and helped Xia Yuhong into the house. Wu Qianqian followed behind with a smile. This sister was so careless. She reminded her many times, but she didn't restrain herself at all. Now she's fine. Now that the master is here, I don't have to worry anymore.
"My body is in good shape and I am not so delicate. My mother said that when she was pregnant with me, she was still going around delivering food and grass to the army."
"Yes, your mother is right, but you should pay attention. This is the first one in our Lao Zhu family."
"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful in the future, it's all done," Xia Yuhong felt very happy when she saw the man taking great care of her and being cautious. The months of lovesickness and pregnancy were all worth it.
"I haven't mentioned your junior sister yet, why didn't you come with me?"
"I have something new going on. I'll give you a brief introduction after dinner. Let's eat first. I'm starving."
Zhu Xuefeng easily changed the subject, knowing that as long as he complained that he was hungry, Xia Yuhong would be able to let go of anything. As expected, Xia Yuhong hurriedly started to eat as soon as he heard this.
"It's time to eat. I can't wait for one meal now. The little guy is so good at eating."
"You can eat it yourself, and you can also push it on the little one." Zhu Xuefeng smiled, lowered his head and stroked his swollen belly. .
"Xiaohong, I really made you suffer."
"What's the point? Whoever wants to be a mother doesn't come here like this. It's okay. Your wife is a real person. It's nothing to worry about." Seeing the man's concerned face, Xia Yuhong was very helpful. She said carelessly that she was fine, which made several people laugh. laughed.
"Where is the little sister?" I was surprised that I didn't see my little sister in the hall. School should be over by now.
"She was taken to study by your uncle. No accident, she can only come back on the last ferry at night."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. The little girl's temper was too out-of-the-box, and without Master Yang watching over her, her skill would have progressed too slowly, so that's fine.
The three girls served the food happily, and the greetings were not too small. "Let's have them all. There are so many tricks. Come on, let's start together."
Zhu Xuefeng greeted everyone and they all had a family dinner together. The three girls seemed to have put in a lot of effort. Not only did they learn the signature dishes from Mr. Zhang, but they also learned a lot of Cantonese dishes. They even learned some delicious soups. Zhu Xuefeng praised them a few times. , the family finished their dinner happily, and Zhu Xuefeng called Xia Yuhong and Wu Qianqian to the third floor.
"Master, this is the situation. Our industry has exploded this year, and our profits have at least doubled."
Zhu Xuefeng is well aware that this year, large supermarkets in various places have continued to make efforts, and their profitability has increased by leaps and bounds. After integration, various logistics are also big profits. In addition, the acquisition of banks has given them their own financial foundation. The financial business has expanded sharply, and has caught up with them. With the price of gold rising sharply and the price of oil fluctuating, this result is considered normal.
"As of the end of September, the company's profits have exceeded RMB 450 million, including RMB 67 million from gold. It can be said to be a bumper harvest. The fluctuation of crude oil has reached a maximum of nearly 40%, and now it has dropped to 20%. From crude oil, we Earning 140 million, the company’s net profit is expected to exceed 620 million by the end of the year.”
Both Xia Yuhong and Wu Qianqian's eyes were shining. Last year, the whole year was only 260 million. This year, it will exceed 600 million. Among them, the financial market made more than 200 million. This is only half a year's results. This is an amazing number. .
"You have done a great job and have worked hard. The oil market is not over yet. There will be a longer market, and there will be considerable profits. It will definitely be more than 600 million by then."
"It's not over yet? Now it has fallen back to 20%. What will happen next? Will it continue to fall? Will it fall to the previous price?"
The two girls were a little surprised. When they were planning, they didn't mention that there would be a market later, but now the master brought it up.
"Well, it's not over, and it won't go back down again. It will continue to rise, and it will continue until at least three years later. Take your time, and you can make money easily in these three years."
Zhu Xuefeng knew well that the short-term confrontation was over and the local war could not stop. He also had a share of credit for this. With the mediation of him and the prince, the autonomous region and Beibang secretly participated in the follow-up confrontation in the form of mercenaries. The oil price could only Continue to rise.
The three of them decided on the strategy of continuing to profit from the crude oil futures market, and the man relaxed a little.
"Okay, let's follow this idea later. Now let's change our minds. Qianqian, let's talk about Xiangjiang. I think Xiangjiang seems to be in a lot of chaos now. It seems a bit depressed all the way. Our industries and workers It’s not affected at all.”
"Well, since June, the security here in Hong Kong has been chaotic. A lot of things have happened, and more than a dozen police officers have died. However, our industrial area and employee family area are concentrated in Tsuen Wan, where Chen Dong and his company are located. I didn’t suffer any impact, but in other places, people were panicked, rumors were spreading, and coupled with the economic downturn, many wealthy people ran away.”
"That's right, Qianqian and I have acquired a building these days. Together with the bank's mortgage properties, we have already accumulated two buildings and a medium-sized office building. Qianqian said, if you continue to acquire, will you lose money in your hands? Ah, I see that Xiangjiang’s economy is in decline and there is no chance of improvement for a while.”
Xia Yuhong interrupted in a low voice. Although the prices of these real estates were much lower, they were real estates. She had not experienced Zhu Xuefeng's prediction of Xiangjiang. Unlike Wu Qianqian, she obviously lacked confidence.
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "There are only two buildings and one office building. Don't be in a hurry. Let's continue to collect them. As long as the location is good, we will do it. We can't afford to lose. How many villas have been collected here?"
The wealthy people in Repulse Bay have fled a lot this year. The economic downturn and turmoil this time have made these wealthy people feel uncertain. They sold off their assets and fled, which exacerbated the economic downturn in Xiangjiang and had a chain effect, causing more people to flee. "The villa area here is now almost half empty. We picked a good location and bought a few units close to our current house."
Wu Qianqian reported in a low voice that she wanted to buy them all according to her idea. The master had told her a few years ago that the villas here were all investment, and as long as they had them, they would be taken. However, Xia Yuhong didn't have the courage, so she had to settle for the second best. We picked four sets together.
"Why did you only buy four sets?" Zhu Xuefeng frowned. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the income was better than struggling in the financial market.
"Damn it, don't blame Qianqian. It's just that I'm cowardly. I have a few apartments that are enough for everyone to live in. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to save the rest of the money to make a fortune in oil?"
Zhu Xuefeng was a little speechless. Xia Yuhong still went out less. Now she realized that the financial market brought in money quickly, but she didn't know that the villas in Repulse Bay appreciated faster than the financial market.
Unable to resist giving Xia Yuhong another real estate lesson, which immediately made Xia Yuhong fall into deep thought, Wu Qianqian looked at her sister who was deep in thought and then reported.
"Sir, according to the agreement at that time, dividends will be distributed to the two foreign banks at the end of this year. Do you have any ideas about this?"
This is the first time that the airline has paid dividends as agreed since its establishment. I know that the two foreign banks are looking forward to it. Now that Hong Kong’s economy is declining, everyone is having a hard time. The property market has greatly increased the proportion of non-performing assets of the two foreign banks. In Zhu Xuefeng’s eyes, these non-performing assets Everything is delicious.
"I really have some ideas. I just wanted to discuss it with you." Zhu Xuefeng nodded. The development of aviation has slowed down in the past few years. Although the shares of the two companies have been diluted, they have not changed much.
This quarter, changes in oil prices have caused airlines' costs to increase a lot, but they were supported by earlier profits. Although profits have weakened now, overall, airlines' profitability is still very strong.
Seeing both of them looking at him, Zhu Xuefeng continued. "The profitability of airlines is pretty good now, but when oil prices really rise, if Hong Kong's economy doesn't improve, the situation will soon reverse. Not to mention making money, it will be good if it doesn't lose money."
< br>
I have just analyzed it for them. Since the price of oil fluctuated, the price that stabilized for the first time has increased by 20%. Such a change is fatal to airlines. Passenger planes are large fuel consumers. In the first stage The 20% increase is only temporary. It will continue to rise in the future, and one dollar per barrel of crude oil will become the story.
Now everyone knows that oil prices rose because of the war, so everyone now thinks that oil prices will return to normal after the war. But Zhu Xuefeng knows that oil prices will not go back to the past because of the phased ceasefire of the war, but will continue to rise. This goes against the West. The economic theory that the market determines value, but this is the fact, is the biggest opportunity for Dongsheng Company.
"Sir, if you want to cope with the continued rise in oil prices, you can only choose more fuel-efficient passenger planes. But the engine you designed will not work either. What will we do then?"
Zhu Xuefeng was a little regretful. He designed the latest engine, but he had no idea about it and could not find a suitable opportunity to test it. Now, with the support of the country, the autonomous region is making intensive preparations to build a small aircraft engine factory. But it needs to carry out research and development. It's still early days, and the autonomous region's industrial foundation is too poor. It lacks everything, including all kinds of talents, and it can't keep up with this big increase in oil prices.
"I can't count on this for the time being, but I have new considerations about the airlines. We can do this. It depends on whether they can cooperate."
Zhu Xuefeng whispered the plan he had been planning for a long time. The two women were shocked when they heard it. The master was too cruel. If he really did this, he would screw up the two foreign companies.
"This method is not impossible. If they bite the bullet and take this dumb loss, we will lose the airline. Are you really willing to give up?" Wu Qianqian knew that it was impossible for the master to let go of the airline. This is an important part of the global logistics plan, and there will be more to come later. There is a plan to build an airport on land reclamation. If the airline is swallowed up by the other party, the subsequent plan will be ruined.
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and said, "No problem. If they really have such a big appetite, I don't mind. It's just a good exchange for their other good assets. Don't worry, the airline is too big. If they really swallow it, they will have 100% indigestion." , not to mention the ongoing oil crisis.”
"As for the airline changing hands, it doesn't matter. Before there are new aircraft models, the airline will be in chaos for several years. This time is enough for us to do a lot of things."
The two of them understood that they were planning to give up the airline temporarily and take it back when the time is right.
Wu Qianqian became interested. If this plan could come true, the two foreign companies would be severely damaged and would no longer be able to make noise in Xiangjiang.
"Master, I support it, just do it like this, but you have to say hello to the Jazz and the Prince in advance so as not to cause misunderstanding."
"Profiteer, profiteer, I know what a profiteer is, and now we are still partners, but you just want to plot against others, haha, but I like it, foreign devils don't cheat for nothing." Xia Yuhong watched the two people discussing in amazement. This was beyond her knowledge. It turned out that this business could still be done.
Regarding Xia Yuhong's evaluation, Zhu Xuefeng just smiled, "What kind of profiteer am I? I just use their greed and our prediction of the oil market to make a suitable business action. As long as they are not greedy, or the oil market is not If there is a big fluctuation, they will never suffer.”
"Sister, this is a conspiracy, and those who wish will fall for it!" Wu Qianqian concluded seriously. "There are intrigues and intrigues in the shopping mall, and everything is possible. We are just plotting."
"Yes, Yang Mou, just follow this idea. The financial statements will be on the bright side. Capital is greedy. I don't believe they can resist this temptation."
According to Zhu Xuefeng's method, China Eastern Airlines will let out rumors of selling some of its shares, saying that it urgently needs funds to cope with the continued decline of Hong Kong's economy and to expand into the global market. This is normal. I believe that the two companies will look at the airline's beautiful financial statements. Can't bear to take this opportunity.
Affected by the economic downturn in Hong Kong, the funds of the two foreign banks are not abundant now. If there is no huge amount of funds, Dongsheng Company expressed its willingness to take over some real estate in key areas. I believe that in the environment of continuous decline in real estate, this kind of transaction will be successful. There is hope that it can be achieved.
"You have to act quickly. The local war is still going on, but everyone seems to have seen the possibility of an armistice soon, and is full of expectations for the correction of oil prices. This is our best opportunity."
"Well, don't worry, sir. My sister and I will make arrangements. I don't know how long I can stay this time. If possible, it would be best for me to be here for the share transfer."
"Okay, I have more freedom these days, so I can stay with you for a while."
