Chapter 207: There is no last resort

"You just agreed to him?"

After the meeting, Gao Dongfang kept stomping his feet and asked in anger, "Do you know he is putting a trap for you? You actually agreed to the business of tens of billions of dollars like a joke. Oh my God, is this world crazy or are you crazy?"

At this time, there were only Zhong Shi and Gao Dongfang, so Gao Dongfang had no worries when he spoke, because just over ten minutes ago, Zhong Shi and Su Senlin reached an incredible agreement.;

If Zhong Shi can keep Volkswagen Group from being acquired, that is, to recover or even reverse the passive situation he had not intentionally caused, then Hua Petroleum will acquire several oil fields in Central Asia at a premium of 20% on the basis of the market price. If Zhong Shi cannot keep Volkswagen Group, then Hua Petroleum will buy this part of the oil resources at the price when Tianyu Fund purchased it.

Roughly speaking, the entire agreement is a stable transaction for Zhong Shi. But in fact, for a transaction that is almost done, the possibility of blocking or reversing is almost slim. This means that the oil fields under Tianyu Fund are likely to be transferred at the original price. Not to mention the investment over the years, inflation alone is enough to make Tianyu Fund suffer a huge loss.

Of course, due to the surge in oil prices over the years, Tianyu Fund has also made huge profits from these oil fields. But no matter what, these oil fields are, they will never be as cheap as they were at the original price.

Su Senlin made a special proposal at the end of the meeting. He also deliberately used the provocation method, as if to look at Zhong Shi's young and frivolousness. As he expected, Zhong Shi actually agreed immediately and only put forward one condition to help Gao Dongfang and Huaxia Investment Company, because if Volkswagen Group could come out, first, it might require a lot of funds, second, it is very likely to be a huge profit opportunity.

After obtaining the consent of the leaders, this huge bet involving Huatou, Hua Petroleum and Tianyu Fund was formed.

Gao Dongfang had no chance to refuse at all. Because Zhong Shi said it very well, and the leader's intention was naturally inclined to continue to cooperate with Volkswagen Group. So even though he knew that the opportunity was slim, he had to bite the bullet and agree.

He did not dare to get angry with the leader or Su Senlin, but it did not mean that he did not dare to complain to Zhong Shi, so the above scene appeared as soon as the meeting was announced to end.

"I'm not crazy, nor is this world crazy!"

Regarding Gao Dongfang's reaction to his anger, Zhong Shi just smiled faintly and said softly, "This is a good deal, isn't it?"

"It's weird!"

Zhong Shi's smile fell into Gao Dongfang's eyes, but he looked like a hippie smile. He sat on the seat hard. Turning his head and not looking at Zhong Shi, muttering dissatisfiedly, "If you want to die, just die. Don't drag us Huatou. Now, we will be buried with you!"

Looking at Gao Dongfang's almost childish behavior, Zhong Shi felt helpless and funny. He immediately patted the other person on the shoulder and said patiently: "Some situations you may not know. Porsche Group is now in a situation of cash flow panic."

"real?"

Gao Dongfang suddenly shuddered and turned to look at Zhong Shi, his eyes full of incredible expressions. "How do you know such confidential news?"

"Of course I know, and the news was told by Wolfgang Porsche."

Seeing Gao Dongfang's appearance, Zhong Shi was sure in his heart, knowing that at least to a certain extent, Gao Dongfang was not so resistant to this transaction and still had a lot of room to fight for.

Although the leader spoke, Gao Dongfang had a hundred ways to slacke in work. After all, the Tianyu Fund suffered the direct consequences in the end.

"Do you know Wolfgang Porsche? He is the chairman of the Porsche Group and the patriarch of this generation of Porsche family!" Zhong Shi added, "I believe that what he said should not be fake, right?"

"Of course there will be no falsehood, but how could he reveal this information to you?" Gao Dongfang's face showed a thoughtful expression, "Yes, yes, it turns out that they have asked for you, and you have experienced perfect cooperation before."

"Yes, you're right!"

Zhong Shi nodded, "Now, the financial situation inside Porsche is probably mild to describe it as panic. I think it might be more appropriate to describe it as being in danger."

"It's so serious?"

Gao Dongfang was shocked again and became even more confused. "It makes no sense. Why are their cash reserves consumed so quickly? Could it be that they have exercised some of the options? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain them clearly!"

"You may not be able to guess the specific reason!"

Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose and smiled awkwardly, "This matter has a great relationship with me. When I used options and blackmailed them, they suffered huge losses in their cash reserves. Later, although they made a lot of money by selling stocks, the subsequent stock repurchase made them consume some of this profit."

"So the amount of cash they get in the entire transaction is really limited. What we are facing now is that due to the shrinking global economy, demand for the luxury car market has plummeted. Simply put, Porsche's global sales have experienced a cliff-like decline, which naturally has a huge impact on their cash recovery and profits."

"The most important thing is that in order to acquire Volkswagen Group's shares last year, Porsche Group jointly borrowed tens of billions of euros from several German banks. With sales decline, slow cash return and huge profits, these banks are very likely to ask Porsche Group to repay these loans in advance. So based on the current situation, you should also know why Wolfgang and Porsche came to me and revealed so much key information, right?"

"He wants to borrow money from you?"

Gao Dongfang has now completely figured out the status quo. He was also very calm in his heart and said with a smile, "I want to follow your personality. I shouldn't agree easily, right?"

"Of course I won't agree, I'm not a fool!" Zhong Shi also smiled, "If I don't make a big fuss about this guy, I won't do this business of losing money. My answer to him is, I'll talk about it later. I will bring a strong partner to save Porsche, and now this partner has appeared."

"I?"

Gao Dongfang's laughter came to an abrupt end, his face full of astonishment. He pointed at himself and said with his eyes wide open. "No, it's not me, it's Huatou Company. I didn't expect it, I couldn't imagine. You also plotted against me in the whole thing."

“Unhappy?”

Zhong Shihu raised his face and pretended to be angry, "I am helping you! Think about it, if we can help Volkswagen Group get out smoothly, they are not grateful, and the cooperation is not natural? The most important thing is that if we can still acquire certain shares in the whole thing, we will almost have a gold ingot in the future. Such a good thing is exciting news for the entire Huatou. It will also help you completely stabilize your position, isn't it?"

“Yes, yes!”

Gao Dongfang nodded like pounding garlic, with a flattering expression on his face, "How could I be unhappy? It's rare that you think about me so much. From now on, I will give you this more than 100 pounds directly, and you will hit you wherever you point. If I, Gao Dongfang, frown, I will not be a man."

"I don't need a guarantee of loyalty like you!"

Zhong Shi frowned unhappily and said with some disgust, "Put your arrangement, I'm not helping you for no reason. Since you helped me connect to the world line, it's natural for me to give back. Not to mention anything else, Huade Real Estate's business in the mainland will need more care. Of course, this kind of care is not about breaking the law, but about their intentional difficulties, and I'll ask you to help you."

"That's all?"

Gao Dongfang also realized his incompetence and his face turned red for a moment, "These are not proportional to what you have done. Don't you make any other requests?"

"Hehe, you may not understand this!"

Looking at Gao Dongfang's puzzled expression, Zhong Shi smiled and said, "Do you think the Federal Reserve will not do a large-scale QE, but other countries will not? Although today's leaders have not expressed other intentions, based on the situation I have collected, I can conclude that other leaders may be brewing the Chinese version of QE plan. Money relaxation, loan thresholds are lowered, and exchange rates may be withdrawn. However, the money invested in the country, combined with some current domestic political situation, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that in the next few years, the real estate industry will rise sharply, and the rising momentum of housing prices is inevitable."

"If managed properly, this industry will be more profitable than gold mines in the next three to five years!" Zhong Shi said confidently.

Gao Dongfang's face suddenly changed, and he didn't say anything for a while. Not to mention whether Zhong Shi's judgment was right, just talking about the central policy alone would be very inappropriate here.

"Don't worry, I'll get much more than I miss, believe me!"

As soon as he saw Gao Dongfang's face, Zhong Shi sighed in his heart, not to continue to get entangled in this topic.

After a long time, Gao Dongfang asked again: "So where should we start and how to start? Have you considered these issues?"

"right!"

Zhong Shi showed a proud look on his face and said confidently, "I did calculate it. But because of Su Senlin's accidental disruption, the entire plan changed. Now our first step is not to go to Germany, but to the Middle East first. There is an old friend there who needs to know and perhaps give up some of the benefits to successfully remove these oil fields."

"It seems you had a plan to get rid of these oil fields?"

Gao Dongfang also understood a little. It turned out that Zhong Shi had originally planned to take away these oil fields. Now Su Senlin jumped out by himself. Naturally, he sold a favor. "Although the demand for oil is shrinking, the oil price will continue to rise in the future. Do you really want to give up this golden chicken?"

"No, you were wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong!"

Zhong Shi glanced at Gao Dongfang deeply, and then slowly explained, "When I destroyed the Unforgettable Flower Fund, I had an in-depth understanding of this industry. The conclusions I came to are terrifying. At least in the next ten to twenty years, oil may never recover to less than one hundred dollars per barrel."

"Why is this?" Gao Dongfang was completely confused. "Did it mean that new energy has made great progress? It's impossible. Why didn't I see relevant reports?"

"It's not new energy, but shale oil and shale gas, which will destroy the current oil industry!"

Zhong Shi said with a serious expression, "Simply put, it is to inject water deep into the rocks to make these difficult-to-open resources come out by themselves. Of course, what I am talking about is just a simple explanation. The facts are much more complicated than these. According to the latest news from the United States, the technology of oil extraction and oil production has already made a revolutionary breakthrough, and the production speed and quantity of these oil and gas will show explosive growth in the future."

"I can't see clearly whether there is a battle between them."

Zhong Shi spread his hands and showed a strange smile on his face, "But what I know is that in the future, whether it is oil or oil fields, prices will drop sharply. If you don't take this opportunity to take action, then when will you have to wait?" (To be continued)
