2149 [War Breakout]

The war in the Middle East is about to ignite.

Xia Tian is familiar with the causes and consequences and is calm. But not everyone has his luck. After learning the news, the HSBC rich man went crazy.

They had followed the example of summer and went to the Middle East to invest in oil wells, hoping that oil prices could make a profit, and for this, they would not hesitate to borrow HK$10 billion each.

But now that the smoke of gunpowder is rising again, their oil wells may be affected by artillery fire at any time. At that time, not to mention mining oil again, they may be lucky if they are not bombed. If they are forcibly charged by the Iraqi State Administration, their investment of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars will be gone.

And this is not a rare thing. In the 1970s, Zheng Yutong and Ho Hongshen went to Ilang to build a racecourse and engage in gambling business. When the business was opened, the business was extremely prosperous. The crown princes and oil tycoons of all countries came to gambling, which was overcrowded. But the good times did not last long, and soon the revolution broke out. The racecourse they built with a investment of 50 million US dollars was confiscated in a blink of an eye, leaving them with no way to complain.

Once their oil wells are confiscated by Iraq, there will be no way to seek compensation. These wealthy people are indeed very influential in Hong Kong. However, in the Middle East, there is no one at all.

"What should I do now? Once the war starts, everything will be over!" Shi Huaiya frowned and said, "It's really not settled, and it's been rising again!"

His Swire Foreign Company had just been forced to invest in Xia Tian, ​​but he hadn't thought of a way to get him out yet. Now, there is something wrong with his oil well, and the loss may be as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which really makes him feel restless when he sleeps.

"Mr. Pu Weishi, do you have any good solutions? Can you advise them not to go to war?" Guo Desheng also asked Pu Weishi.

These Hong Kong rich people should not want to interfere in the war situation in the Middle East. They have no strength and no connections, and no one can defeat them at all. At this time, Pu Weishi, who is a senior HSBC team, may still be able to feel a little face.

When Pu Weishi heard his question, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Our Britain had a great influence in the Middle East, and we were even the culprits of Covit for a time. But over the years, Britain's influence in the Middle East has become smaller and smaller. In addition, Iraq's president Sadhathon is simply a war madman. If you want to persuade him not to start a war, don't say that I, a banking master, may not have such a face even if you are the British bow prime minister."

Whether a country has influence depends mainly on the strength of that country. Although Britain has maintained its status as a developed country after World War II, its influence in the international community has gradually declined.

The Falklands War in the 1980s is a prominent example. Even the small South American country Ateth Tsing dared to challenge it. Although Britain finally defeated Ateth Tsing and won the Falklands War, it was not actually glorious.

When everyone saw him say this, their faces were gloomy and they felt very uncomfortable.

Pu Weishi is their biggest card. If he can't do anything about it, it will be completely ruined.

"If you can't even help you, then we will be dead!" Bao Yugang frowned.

Although his property is tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, the huge loss of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars is also a burden that he cannot bear.

"Mr. Pu Weishi, is there really no way?" Li Jiacheng asked again.

"No need to ask anymore. I hope there is a way to resolve this problem more than you." Pu Weishi said distressedly.

He borrowed the loans from Li Jiacheng and others, and they were also unsecured loans. If the oil well is confiscated, except for Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang and other few others, the other rich people will not be able to repay the loan.

At that time, the bank may have another bad debt of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. It's really a big deal to think about it. You know, he has just sent away a wave of accounting checkout groups.

"By the way, didn't Xia Tian invest in oil wells in the Middle East? How did he deal with it now?" Jia Daoli suddenly asked.

Although they hate Xia Tian, ​​they have to admit that he is a capable man. Although he is young, he has some ideas. Xia Tian invests much more in the Middle East than them. This time he is also facing a war disaster, and I don’t know how to resolve it.

"As far as I know, he didn't seem to have taken any measures." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"This is strange. Will he sit and wait for death like us? This is not like his usual style." Everyone said in confusion when they heard this.

"Oh, in my opinion, this is normal. Don't overestimate his ability. In fact, he is just a few tricks. He can't resolve this disaster." Li Zhaoji hummed, "Fortunately, he is still unlucky with him this time. My mood is not the worst."

His oil well had been sold because he had to pay off his debts before. So even though he was facing war and everyone was worried, he could still stand by and watch. This could probably be considered a blessing in disguise. What's more, even summer was damaged this time, and it is likely to lose tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which also made him more able to watch the fun.

"You don't have to gloat. If we don't have a good time, then you won't have a good time!" Jia Daoli didn't like his sarcastic attitude and couldn't help but say coldly.

"Hey, don't get me wrong. The fourth brother didn't mean that. He was laughing at Xiatian, not us." Seeing this, Guo Desheng quickly explained his advice.

"Okay, now is not the time for internal strife. Don't forget that we are one, it's not easy to survive. Don't think anyone can escape!" Li Jiacheng also advised, "Now everyone must unite and hope to work together to overcome difficulties."

"Yes." Everyone here nodded when he heard what he said.

But in fact, apart from drinking this bowl of chicken soup, the real solution is still not enough, and it can only be left to fate. After all, although these rich people are a little money, they still wear tofu in front of a country, and they can't even raise it.

...

Just as the Hong Kong rich people were trembling, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and praying that the war would not happen, the Iraqi army brazenly launched an invasion of Covet.

Local time, at 1:00 a.m. on August 2nd, the battle officially began.

As soon as the war began, the news was reported soon.

Especially CNN TV, which was in Iraq a year in advance, Kovi set up a special press station and focused on the ICO issue throughout the whole process. Now that the war started, it immediately spread the picture to the whole world, attracting global attention.

At that time, it was six o'clock in the morning.

When Li Jiacheng and others were awakened by the phone and learned that the war had begun, they were all shocked.
