Chapter 1291 Everything Is as Expected!

Yang Ming is very busy, but not too busy.

Now he has handed over many important matters to the cabinet and the secretariat.

It can be said that the cabinet and the secretariat are now Yang Ming's two major assistants. Of course, many times, even if Yang Ming does not come to the Empire Group headquarters to work, the cabinet and the secretariat can handle the important matters of the Empire Group.

However, Yang Ming knows that now is not the time for him to be lazy or retire.

Now the cabinet and the secretariat are also being improved.

At the end of July, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait had stopped, and the two sides soon fought.

This time, Kuwait, the dog tycoon, bought a large amount of second-hand Soviet arms from the arms company under the Empire Group, and its confidence was much stronger. The Empire Group even sold a cruiser to Kuwait.

It was because of that that Kuwait knew that it could not wait to die.

Afternoon of July 31, 1990.

Today is Tuesday.

It was also working hours.

In the meeting room of the chairman's office.

In addition to Yang Ming, there are Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Alina, Yingla, as well as cabinet members such as Mai Lisi, Huo Jianning, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, and Li Caixin.

This time, Yang Ming ostensibly invited them to drink coffee.

In fact, with their status, there is no place without coffee.

"Are you paying attention to the news about the Middle East?" Yang Ming asked.

When Yang Ming asked this question, many people present immediately knew that it was different.

Like Li Caixin.

He is the general manager of Xiangjiang First Shipping Group.

Now the total tonnage of its shipping has exceeded Bao's Global Shipping and Asian Shipping.

In fact, two years ago, the First Shipping Group under the Empire Group had already exceeded it.

Last year, Yang Ming suddenly notified him to let the tankers under Xiangjiang First Shipping buy a large amount of crude oil from abroad. At that time, the price of crude oil had no effect.

Li Caixin didn't know why the boss did that, but he could only say that.

Started to buy a large amount of crude oil in oil-producing countries such as the Middle East.

In addition to being sent to Empire Group's domestic and even Haojiang oil companies, many of these crude oils are stored in Huicheng and Country Y.

In the first half of this year, Li Caixin finally discovered the reason why his boss did that, which was that the Middle East, a powder keg, was about to start again.

Before that, Iraq and Iraq had been fighting for nearly ten years, which also had a significant impact.

However, I didn't expect that it would start again now.

"According to my prediction, Iraq will invade Kuwait in the next two days. After this starts, it will last for more than a year. During this period, global crude oil will be affected. The large amount of crude oil we started to stockpile last year can then be gradually sold to European and American buyers."

This is inevitable.

Otherwise, when M and other countries quickly conquer Iraq, the price of crude oil will definitely drop, or even return to normal.

During this period, the world is very short of crude oil.

Now Yang Ming told them that in addition to asking Li Caixin not to buy crude oil anymore, he can buy other bulk goods. Things like food are also very much needed by the Empire Group, and they have been stockpiling them. In addition to using them for the current business with Su Lian, they will also be of great use in other aspects.

. . .

This time, Yang Ming invited Mai Lisi and others to drink coffee, but Mai Lisi and others were still shocked.

They felt that everything that happened in the world seemed to be within the boss's expectations step by step.

After drinking coffee, except for Mai Lisi and Huo Jianning, everyone else went back to work.

Yang Ming talked with them for more than an hour.

They also went back to work.

When Yang Ming got off work and went back to have dinner.

After waking up from a nap, it was already August 1, 1990.

Today, the world still looks very stable.

Except for the news in the newspaper that Iraq and Kuwait are already incompatible, Yang Ming can't see any other news.

On this day, Yang Ming also went back to work as usual.

After a day of work.

That night, Yang Ming went to the villa halfway up the mountain where Sarah and Diana lived, and didn't go back until late at night.

I don't know how long I slept.

In the middle of the night, Yang Ming's study phone suddenly rang.

When Yang Ming got up to answer it.

He had learned that Iraq entered Kuwait directly at 1 a.m. local time, but according to the time difference, it was 5 a.m. in Hong Kong.

In other words, the personnel of the arms company over there got the news first and immediately fed back to Yang Ming.

At this time, Yang Ming was also the first to learn about the news from Iraq and Kuwait.

When Yang Ming heard that the fight really started, he woke up.

"You should pay attention to safety."

Yang Ming knew that it was still very dangerous for these people to collect information.

Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Yang Ming knew that with Iraq's strength, it would soon crush Kuwait, and even take over the entire country of Kuwait within a day. It was unknown whether the second-hand Soviet weapons sold to Kuwait by the arms company under the Empire Group would work.

However, Yang Ming knew that a few months later, the United States would almost crush Iraq by itself, and directly make Iraq lose in the mode of modern warfare.

It was still early now.

Yang Ming believed that the world would know this news soon, and the global economy, crude oil, stock market, futures, etc. would have a significant impact.

After Yang Ming hung up the phone.

He went back to the master bedroom and took a nap.

When he woke up again, it was already past seven in the morning.

At this time, everyone who watched the morning news knew that Iraq had invaded Kuwait, but for many people, they still didn't understand why Iraq wanted to attack Kuwait.

It was early August and the weather in Hong Kong was still very hot.

After Yang Ming got up, he went to the swimming pool to swim a few laps and changed his clothes.

At this time, Alina, Yingla and others were even more impressed by Yang Ming's expression.

"Sir, Iraq really attacked Kuwait." Alina was still shocked and said.

"Everything is as expected."

Yang Ming went to have breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife.

Yang Jirong and his wife also knew that due to the impact of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, global crude oil and other products might be affected.

Crude oil futures are the most direct.

And oil is related to all aspects.

Now that global crude oil prices have risen, it means that many items may also rise.

After breakfast, Yang Ming went back to the headquarters of the Empire Group Building with Alina and Yingla to work.

When I came to the company, Lin Xiuzhi and He Chaoxun had already arrived.

In the afternoon, Yang Ming heard another call from the Middle East. He had learned that Iraq had announced that Kuwait had become its 19th province.

In addition, Prince Fahd, the brother of the King of Kuwait, was seriously injured and died while commanding the battle. Five members of the royal family died in the battle. King Emir Jaber led some members of the royal family to flee to Saudi Arabia.

Yang Ming did not expect that even though he had someone leak the news to the royal family in advance, there were still royal family members who died.

It seems that the death of some people is doomed.

In addition, the second-hand Soviet arms sold to Kuwait by the arms company now do not seem to have much effect.
