Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 800: Setting Sail

In fact, Lu Shaohua didn't know whether he was helping the Saudi Arabian royal family or the Saudi Arabian royal family was helping Lu Shaohua. If you say that Lu Shaohua was helping them, the Saudi Arabian royal family occupied a large proportion in Lu Shaohua's plan. If you say that the Saudi Arabian royal family was helping Lu Shaohua, it didn't make sense. After all, Lu Shaohua helped them build a strong financial team and made it reach the top level.

In the financial world, it’s not enough to be rich. You also need strength and talent. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will be wasted and you won’t get good results. Sometimes you will even fall into trouble and eventually lead to investment failure.

It was also because of this that Lu Shaohua helped the Saudi Arabian royal family build a strong financial team and made it rank among the top, giving the Saudi Arabian royal family an additional way to make money, unlike before when the main income came from oil.

If you look deeper, Lu Shaohua is giving the Saudi Arabian royal family a way out by doing this.

A way out, what does this mean? Anyone with a little common sense will understand that it means that if an accident happens in the future, the Saudi Arabian royal family will not be so miserable and can maintain its previous glory.

It was a great achievement, a real great achievement, so great that even the cooperation of the Saudi Arabian royal family and Lu Shaohua could not offset it.

But then again, Lu Shaohua would not remember those things. Lu Shaohua is realistic. What he is thinking about now is the present and what he needs to do now. As for the future, he will talk about it later. Lu Shaohua will not think too far ahead on this matter.

It is precisely because Lu Shaohua does not think too far ahead that he just gave up after arranging everything, leaving Liu Mingzhang and Saudi Arabia to negotiate. As for the Tiger Roar Base, Lu Shaohua gave it all to Li Zhijie to manage. When oil is needed to flow into the market, the oil will be taken out from the underground warehouse, and when it is purchased, the oil will be transported to fill the warehouse. It is that simple.

Originally, Li Zhijie was very reluctant to take over this matter, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it. Because including Li Zhijie, the three giants of the Tiger Roar Base were all busy with too many things, and it would be the same no matter who was handed over to it; they would not be able to free up their hands.

Li Zhijie is different. He manages the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network. Although he has a lot of work to do every day, the situation in Africa has stabilized now and the workload has decreased. Li Zhijie should be able to spare the time to take over this matter.

Also, don't forget that Li Zhijie has a wife. His wife comes from a large family, has received a good education since childhood, and has a great talent for business. It seems that there is nothing wrong with her coming to help Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie is one of the three giants of Tiger Roar Base, so his wife's status naturally rises, and she has a very high status in Tiger Roar Base. Of course, this status is only superficial, no matter how high her status is, she can't interfere with the core secrets of Tiger Roar Base. What she can know is only that Tiger Roar Base stores a lot of oil. As for the secret base and intelligence network, she can't get in touch with it at all.

Lu Shaohua knew everything about Li Zhijie's wife. It was precisely because he knew her situation that Lu Shaohua decided to let her intervene in this matter. After all, she already knew that a large amount of oil was stored in the Tiger Roar Base, and there was nothing worth hiding about her intervening in this matter now.

Lu Shaohua has no concerns, but that doesn't mean Li Zhijie has no concerns. Li Zhijie's concern is that his wife's family also has a financial company. If she knew that Lu Shaohua was speculating in oil futures, there was no guarantee that she would secretly tell her family the news, and then her family would also enter the oil futures market.

It has to be said that Li Zhijie is 100% loyal to the Tiger Roar Base. He always thinks about the Tiger Roar Base and Lu Shaohua. Even his wife, Li Zhijie puts her third. He first considers Lu Shaohua's interests, then the interests of the Tiger Roar Base, and then his wife's turn.

Li Zhijie's concerns made Lu Shaohua speechless. He thought to himself that someone has married their daughter to you, and you are still on guard against them everywhere. Aren't you just asking for trouble?

But in general, Lu Shaohua was very happy with Li Zhijie. He didn't say much. He waved his hand and said, "If they want to come in, they can do it themselves. As long as they can make money."

Come to think of it, even if Li Zhijie's wife's family follows and enters the oil futures market, the money earned is not from Lu Shaohua, so what is Lu Shaohua worried about? Not only will Lu Shaohua not stop it, but he will also strongly support it.

However, there is a prerequisite before that, that is, they must not disrupt Liu Mingzhang and their plans, otherwise Lu Shaohua will not be polite to them.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua hinted to Li Zhijie, asking him to get a plan from Liu Mingzhang every time, compare the date, and then tell the news to his wife, so that his wife can compare the date to decide the time of selling and entering the market.

What else could Li Zhijie say? Lu Shaohua clearly supported them to enter the oil futures market, so Li Zhijie could only agree. However, in his heart, Li Zhijie still made up his mind to warn his wife not to ruin Lu Shaohua's plan.

Li Zhijie was right to have this idea. After all, in the financial market, many things are inevitable. If one party does not know the seriousness of the matter and enters the market frantically, even if they have chosen the right time, it is possible to disrupt Lu Shaohua's plan.

However, for Lu Shaohua, that family, which could only be considered a medium-sized family in France, could not pose much threat to Lu Shaohua's plan. Even if they tried their best to mobilize funds to join the war, it would be at most a few hundred billion dollars, and would not exceed five hundred billion dollars.

Five hundred million dollars is a huge fortune for others, but for Lu Shaohua, it is just a tiny bit, and for the huge oil futures market, it is even more insignificant.

This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua did not explain Li Zhijie in detail, because as long as they hype the date, no matter how much money they invest, they cannot destroy his plan.

However, Li Zhijie did not express his concerns, so Lu Shaohua saved himself a lot of trouble and did not have to say anything.

……

After handing over the power of the oil futures plan, Lu Shaohua focused all his energy on road construction.

Before China controlled the seven small African countries, it was Qian Qian who communicated with the people he supported. It can be said that Qian Qian became a diplomat in disguise. Now that a road is to be built, and this road passes through four countries, Qian Qian must of course act as a diplomat again and communicate with their presidents.

In Lu Shaohua's plan, this road is to be built into a six-lane expressway. If Lu Shaohua follows his idea, the investment in this road will be an astronomical figure, and its use will be much wider, so no matter what, the countries through which the road passes have the responsibility to bear the cost of this road.

Of course, Lu Shaohua would not let the four countries bear the cost of building this highway, only part of it. After all, they are rich now. After the first batch of minerals were sold, it brought huge wealth to the four countries. When would they use it if not now?

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is an eternal law.

Africa is a poor place with no one coming to invest. If you want to attract businessmen to invest, you have to improve the transportation. Lu Shaohua built a highway to facilitate oil transportation, which happened to be able to revitalize the transportation of those four countries. Their governments should come out to support it.

When it comes to money, Lu Shaohua divided it very clearly. Hong Kong took a small commission, and the rest of the money was returned to the governments of the five countries to enrich their finances and develop their countries.

It was precisely because Lu Shaohua divided the expenses very clearly that he did not want to interfere with their finances. When the highway was being built, they all stepped forward to share the burden. It can be imagined how detailed Lu Shaohua's division was.

Having said that, Lu Shaohua not interfering in their finances does not mean that Lu Shaohua will not take care of it. When transferring money from Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua found some financial experts to be placed in their financial department to hold on to the funds and prevent officials from embezzling them.

As the saying goes: "No one has too much money."

The same goes for the officials in Africa. They will not hold back if there is money to be made, let alone a large sum of money. There are many people who are eyeing it, but the finances have been blocked by people sent by Lu Shaohua, and those people have no way to start.

Oh, no, it’s not that they don’t know where to start, but that they dare not do it, because everyone knows that once they touch the money, they will face a disastrous ending.

Given a choice between wealth and life, anyone with a bit of brains would choose life. As for wealth, they are high-ranking officials, and as long as the country develops, they will not be afraid of having no income or starving to death.

Since they are not afraid of having no income or starving to death, why not work honestly? Who knows, maybe good luck will come and they can make further progress.

Human nature is always complicated, but fortunately the development trajectory is good and Lu Shaohua does not have to worry. After Chen Guobang finished negotiating with the officials of the four countries, he sent a professional engineering team to measure and plan the route of the entire road.

At this point, we have to talk about Qian Qian's ability to get things done. In a word, there is no doubt that Qian Qian's ability to get things done is very strong. It took less than a week to complete the preliminary preparations. After a week, all it took was Lu Shaohua's order, and the construction of this highway, named Huxiao Expressway by Lu Shaohua, could start.

Knowing that the construction could begin, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate, and waved his hand and said to Qian Qian, "Let's start."

"Ok."

The construction of the highway has finally started, but this is just superficial. The deeper meaning is that Africa has also started to set sail at this moment.
