Chapter 861 Pull Anyone Who Can Get on Board

Facing Li Changheng, who has always been unwilling to compromise, Wilson, in order to take advantage of the greater crude oil shortage in other European countries, gave English companies the opportunity to seize the market and improve the economy.

In the end, he could only agree to help Li Changheng get all the shares of Hong Kong Electric and Hong Kong Island Gas.

After that, apart from the 30 million barrels that have been handed over to the United States for sale, the other 44 million barrels will inevitably be given a large share to the British shareholders of the Hong Kong Electric and Gas Company.

However, since the oil has been handed over to Wilson, he has no excuse to keep an eye on those who planned the rebellion.

After receiving a series of thanks, even allegiance, and sending everyone away, Philip put away his smile.

He frowned and said to Li Changheng, "Henry, this time the Labor Party is likely to take the opportunity to hold an early general election and use its economic achievements to win more seats in the House of Commons.

Have you thought about how to appease the Conservative Party? "

Li Changheng said with a relaxed expression, "To put it bluntly, although Wilson is the first choice selected by the middle and lower levels.

But he wants to invigorate the economy, but relying on workers is not enough.

Enterprises, factories, farms, and ranches are all in the hands of capitalists. Although workers and other lower-level workers have kept their wages, their wages have been raised to a limited extent.

But it will only be the capitalists who will benefit the most. "

"Besides," Li Changheng smiled, "Just wait and see, the more proud Wilson and others are at this time, the more troubles they will have in the future.

Because as inflation continues to rise, the working class will find that the money in their hands will never keep up with the increase in prices.

When more and more demands from these lower levels are not met, there is a high probability that the Labor Party will be abandoned in retaliation.

Maybe it will cause the Labor Party to be suppressed by the Conservative Party in the next ten or twenty years.

What's more, although most of the Conservative Party has the same interests as ours, not everyone in this group supports the royal family.

Sometimes, the more lost a person is, the more cherish each ally. "

Philip was taken aback for a moment, but soon laughed.

When the Conservative Party is in full swing, it is the time when the royal family is suppressed the most.

Even when the royal family was almost kicked out, the main force was the capitalists.

To be more realistic, compared with money, few nobles really care about titles and the limited privileges of nobles.

While Philip agreed in his heart, he said worriedly, "I'm afraid things will get out of control."

"There is nothing to worry about," Li Changheng said firmly, "I said when I was in the United States that this oil crisis seems to be caused by oil.

But the main reason for the weakness is that the Americans spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting the Viet Nam War for ten years, but in the end they got nothing.

A large debt is owed, and most of the technology is focused on the military, and civilian products are becoming less and less competitive.

So just wait and see, the crisis will never be the same as those experts say, it will disappear in just one or two years.

Next year and the year after will be when the crisis will be most serious.

At that time, what Wilson faced was not the economic crisis of England, but the economic crisis of the entire capital world.

In this case, no matter whether it is the Labor Party or the Conservative Party, whoever stays in Downing Street will be blamed.

Not to mention, most people don't even realize that the crisis will last for several years. "

Philip's heart sank. Although he didn't fully believe what Li Changheng said, the relationship with Li Changheng these years made him have to believe it.

After thinking about it for a while, but unable to think of a solution, he could only shake his head and sigh.

"What should I do, Henry?"

Li Changheng shrugged, "I only care about myself. Moreover, Downing Street may not listen to your public suggestions, let alone thank you."

"Hey," Philip sighed helplessly. The more truthful Li Changheng said, the more depressed and annoyed he would be.

After a long time, there was probably a connection, and he asked in a low voice, "According to your opinion, if inflation rises, currency depreciates, and prices skyrocket, will gold rise again?"

"A big rise is impossible." Li Changheng thought carefully for a moment, "It's too troublesome to explain the specific reasons. I guess the price of gold should seesaw repeatedly between 130 and 180."

Philip's eyes lit up. In the past few years, he has been speculating in gold continuously and has made huge profits. At the same time, it can be said that Philip feels that his understanding of gold futures is better than any business and has a sense of accomplishment.

If you enter the market at the current gold price of 118 US dollars per ounce, since Li Changheng said it is 130 to 180, the simplest and safest way is to use half of the principal as a margin, and the other half of the principal as long-term futures with 3 times leverage.

No matter how much it fluctuates in the middle, the price I bought is only 118 anyway, so don't worry about liquidation.

Wait until the price reaches 175, or even 170 dollars to sell.

If the price of gold can rise to 180 US dollars, as Li Changheng predicted, then start to be bearish on the price of gold and short the backhand.

Wait until the price of gold falls to 140, or even 135, and sell it again.

In a few years, not much.

Just two times, one high and one low, 10 million pounds can easily become 30 million.

Even take a little risk, use half of the principal to make 5 times the leverage, and it is not difficult to change 10 million to 50 million.

Double every year, at least 70% to 80% profit, which is more profitable than most normal businesses.

Thinking of this, Philip wished that Li Changheng was his own son.

Unparalleled ability to make money, scheming, cautious and dark-hearted, relentless in catching opportunities, is simply the best template for a king.

For a moment, Philip even thought about passing the throne to Anne.

After calming down, Philip sighed, the difficulty of passing on to Anne was even more impossible than persuading Charles and Andrew to give up at the same time.

But at this time, he was even more sure that he would never let Li Changheng have any accidents.

Then he stared at Li Changheng and reconfirmed, "How sure are you?"

Li Changheng said confidently, "I wish I hadn't lost, but don't be too aggressive, lest you lose your position.

Moreover, it is best to hurry up, because tomorrow there will definitely be news that is not good for the islanders. "

Philip was startled, and looked at Li Changheng for a while, but saw that he had no intention of continuing.

I could only think about the time difference between London and the United States, and quickly ruled out the Chicago futures market, and then Frankfurt, London and other financial cities were also at night at this time.

Thinking about it again, only Tokyo is about 7:00 in the morning, and it is only 3 and a half hours away from the city.

The time is enough to call the traders and high-level officials of the royal fund to make preparations.

He patted Li Changheng's arm with a smile, "It seems that I won't be able to sleep well tonight, and I have to think about how to comfort Mary tomorrow."

Li Changheng curled his lips and slept in separate rooms all year round, so it's no wonder how good his relationship can be.

But I was happy in my heart.

Wait for Philip to increase his bets in the gold futures market again, and the news will come out tomorrow.

It means that the current government and royal family in England will follow behind the Americans, chasing the island country for their own interests.
