As time entered February 5, 1980, good news came one by one.

The sales of "Financial Weekly" reached 400,000 copies, and "Financial Weekly" also took advantage of the trend to launch the top 500 companies in Southeast Asia, the top 100 RB companies, and the top 100 Korean companies to stimulate local sales.

News from Luo Shaoyong also came from Luo Shaoyong that Luo Shaoyong spent 15 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Malaysia's Nanyang Commercial Daily and 13 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Singapore's Sin Chew Daily.

With these two local newspapers, the behavior of Kirin Media Group's products being excluded by Southeast Asia has greatly reduced.

On February 7, Landes of Hudley Company also called and informed Li that all the acquisitions of the TV station were completed, spending a total of HK$130 million, allowing Li Zhiwen to hand over the company to Hudley Company tomorrow.

Li Zhiwen, who was in the seed fund company, called Jiang Zhiqiang and said that he could start the operation.

Jiang Zhiqiang was already hungry and thirsty. As early as February 3, the Global Theater Line had been integrated. It has a total of 22 theaters, five large theaters, eight medium theaters, and nine small theaters, with a total of 15,538 seats.

However, because Li's TV station on the side of Cedolly has not completed the acquisition, it has been enduring and has not started. Now it can finally announce the establishment of the Global Theater to others.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiqiang said to his subordinates: "Go and invite all the reporters to come to our Anle Cinema tomorrow to attend the press conference, and they said we have something big to announce."

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." The staff member said.

......

At this time, Li Zhiwen was listening to reports from Lou Yulie and Tan Huafei in the office of Seed Fund.

"You two sit there, there is no need to be restrained." Li Zhiwen said.

Lou Yulie and Tan Huafei were still a little restrained. Although both of them went to the UK with Li Zhiwen to participate in the London Gold Futures Project, they were responsible for Zhao Hezhuo at that time and did not talk directly with Li Zhiwen, so both of them were a little restrained.

When leaving the UK, Zhao Hezhuo called the two of them aside, and there was a hint in public and secret that the helmsman of the seed fund would be selected from the two, while the other would assist the superiors in managing the seed fund.

Then they asked the two to start from the futures and foreign exchange market and analyze the direction of the two major markets later. So they did not rest when they came back from Hong Kong, but instead sorted out the information, analyzed the data, and waited for Li Zhiwen to arrive.

"Yes, boss!" the two of them said in unison.

"Okay, who will talk about your own opinions first?" Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

Lou Yulie was impatient and stood up unswervingly and said, "Boss, then I'll do it first."

Li Zhiwen smiled, signaled him to sit down, and said, "Then let's start with you. Hua Fei will listen to Lou Yulie's opinion first."

Tan Huafei nodded.

"Boss, I also learned from London gold futures. I am concerned about the oil futures field. Boss, you also know that Iran is an important oil exporter in the world. The time of the Iran revolution has caused international crude oil prices to rise, but I think international crude oil prices will continue to rise."

"Although the Iranian revolution can be said to be successful, Khomeini, who came to power, belonged to the Shiites who were in conflict with the United States. Just last November, Iran seized diplomatic officials from the US Embassy in Iran."

"Although US President Carter no longer supports the Iranian king and helps the Iranian king return to the throne of power, the United States allows Iranian kings to enter the United States to treat cancer, which will make the US government and Iran's current ruling party confront each other. So I think the United States will cut off diplomatic relations with Iran, which will also promote the rise of international crude oil prices."

Li Zhiwen listened and smiled. It’s true that Lou Yulie’s analysis was really accurate. Li Zhiwen remembered that in April this year, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Iran, and when Li Zhiwen was reborn, the two countries still did not restore diplomatic relations.

Seeing Li Zhiwen smiling, Lou Yulie felt relieved. It seemed that the boss felt that his analysis made sense.

"In addition, when I was investigating Iran, I also investigated other countries in the Middle East and found an interesting phenomenon. Although Iraq is the birthplace of Shiites and the majority of the people are Shiites, the Sunnis are in charge of the state power."

"Iraq's country is rich and strong, and is actively seeking hegemony in the Gulf region, so Iran is naturally Iraq's number one enemy. The Iranian authority Khomeini and the Iraqi authority Saddam are both strong people, and neither will give in. So I analyze that there will be war between the two countries in the near future."

At this time, Tan Huafei also intervened and said, "There are territorial disputes between Iraq and Iran, and Iraq is dominated by Shiite people, which is a natural choice for Khomeini to succeed at home and export revolutions to foreign countries."

"Even Iran's population is mainly Persians, while Iraqis are mainly Arabs. There have been conflicts in the lives of the two races in history and accumulated considerable grudges, which will also be the cause of the two wars."

"So, based on the conditions of all parties, I think wars between Iran and Iraq will break out this year. One is that Iran wants to take advantage of the opportunity to export the revolution, and the other is that Iraq wants to seek regional hegemony. The people in Iran are not stable, so it is naturally the best time, otherwise it will be too late to wait until Khomeini completes the domestic reorganization."

"The outbreak of war between the two sides will make the rising international crude oil prices even more crazy, and the war is full of uncertainty, and no one knows whether it will be a small conflict or a big war."

"If it develops into a great war, as an important international oil import, the United States, in order to cope with the high inflation caused by oil, I think the Federal Reserve will adopt a tight monetary policy, which will drive the US dollar to appreciate and fight the impact of oil rise."

Not to mention, the two are really talented, and the analysis is not correct. Li Zhiwen remembers that Iran and Iraq will start the war in September this year and start the eight-year Iran-Iraq War. 1980 to 1985 happened to be the period of appreciation of the US dollar, until the Square Agreement, when the United States forced the currencies of RB, Germany, France and Britain to appreciate, thereby depreciating the US dollar to increase the export competitiveness of products.

Li Zhiwen looked at Lou Yulie and Tan Huafei and became more and more satisfied, so he said, "I agree with your statement, but at this time, neither of your investigations convinced each other, and it is difficult for me to choose which of you two is more suitable as the helmsman of the seed fund."

"Let's do this, let's see the truth from your hands. You two will form your own team. I will allocate 500 million US dollars to each team as funds, and you two will go to the futures market and foreign exchange market to make trouble."

"No matter what action is taken or how many times the leverage is taken, I won't pay attention to it, but there is one thing that can't be discovered by financial giants in other countries. You also know that our seed funds are still very small and do not have the strength to compete with international financial tycoons, so be careful."

"And the final position of your two is determined by the income of your two." Li Zhiwen said.

"Yes, boss!" the two replied, then looked at each other, sparks of competition emerged in their eyes.
Chapter completed!
