The Middle East War is a great opportunity to make money in the summer.

Because this war will end very quickly and will end very easily. There will be no situation in the 1950s, 1960s, North Korea and South Vietnam wars that will last for several years.

With its high-tech military equipment, the United States easily tortured Iraq to death in a crushing manner, leaving it almost without the ability to resist.

This war is also the starting point of modern high-tech wars. Since then, the concept of world war has undergone a fundamental change. The military idea of ​​tanks, cannons, land warfare, and winning with human sea tactics has lost the market.

On the contrary, elite soldiers armed with high-tech military equipment can fight a hundred and even face one without having to meet each other, a hundred miles away, and a button can effectively defeat the enemy with one click. The war efficiency is a hundred times or a thousand times that before.

As far as Xia Tian knows, it seems that the United States completely defeated Iraq in less than two months. It would be far beyond everyone's expectations to end the battle in such a short time.

This good news will stimulate the stock market and the futures market will rise. Because the war is over and the world is back to peace, people no longer have to worry, and making money will naturally become their primary wish again.

In the last episode of the TV series "The Great Era", Ding Chi immediately started shorting the Hang Seng Index when he heard about the war, because the rule of the stock market is that war will cause the stock market to collapse.

Unexpectedly, the US military ended the battle in less than 24 hours and defeated the military madman. The stock market rebounded by this positive news immediately after rebounding more than 3,000 points, and He Ding Chi lost more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, so he had to jump off the building with his sons.

Although "The Great Age" is just a drama with a lot of fiction, the basic logic is still not bad. The drama was filmed in 1992, and the prototype of the war at the end of the drama was the "Gulf War".

So Xia Tian knew that in the Middle East War, global stock markets and futures markets may fall in a short period of time. But in the long run, stock markets and futures markets will rise. So you can take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

...

Furthermore, after the end of the Middle East War, the HSBC Group is likely to recover the oil well they acquired in Covet.

After all, Britain was also one of the participating countries in the Gulf War. Its aircraft carrier Ark Royal is now parked in the Persian Gulf.

After the victory of the war, the nations will divide the fruits of victory, and the UK will definitely help the HSBC team get back their oil wells.

Because the HSBC team is all pro-British, there is no reason for the UK not to look to its own dog. Otherwise, who would bite people for it in the future?

And this is certainly bad news for Xia Tian.

He and the HSBC Group are now deadly enemies, and I am invincible. The growth of the HSBC Group is his weakening, so of course he cannot sit idly by and watch the HSBC Group take back the oil well.

Xia Tian thinks there are two ways to stop it.

One was to send someone to sneak into Covet. Taking advantage of the war, they would blow up all the HSBC oil wells. In this way, even if the coalition forces won the Gulf War, it would be useless to get their oil wells back.

However, this move is quite risky. You should know that it is a battlefield after all, so it is a sightless sword and gun, and the chance of something happening is very high. Xia Tian is reluctant to send Wang Baoshen and others. But if they don’t go, he will not have anyone who can trust him, so this plan will make Xia Tian dilemma.

Another way is to buy oil wells from the HSBC Group at a lower price while the situation is still unclear. The war has not yet been fought, and no one can guess the outcome of the war, except in summer.

In the minds of many people, this Gulf War is likely to repeat the tragedy of the North Korean and South Vietnam War thirty or forty years ago, and it will be fought for several years.

The destructive power of war is extremely strong, and it is likely to destroy everything and make them nothing. In this case, if someone is willing to take over, I believe they will definitely be willing to sell it.

After buying these oil wells at a cheap price in summer, after the war ended for two months, he could enjoy the fruits of victory. At that time, the HSBC would cry with the pile of small money.

However, this method also has a disadvantage, that is, during the war, there was no eyebrow in the sword and gun, and the oil well he acquired from the HSBC Group was likely to be destroyed by artillery fire. That is to say, he also took certain risks.

Therefore, summer is not free to think about what is going on.

...

"Mr. Zhao, I invite you here today because I want to ask you to help you mark the location of our acquisition of oil wells in Covet." Xia Tian invited China Coal CEO Zhao Shikang to come and discuss with us.

Zhao Shikang nodded, and then he did not look at the information, but circled it on the map with a red pen. Obviously, he had already understood these information and put a lot of effort into it.

After a while, he marked the oil wells acquired by Tianxia Energy in Covet one by one.

Xia Tian nodded, "On January 15th, the United Nations set the last time for Iraq to withdraw troops. However, after reading the news, Iraq obviously has no intention of withdrawing troops. It seems that the war must be fought."

"Is it possible not to fight?" Zhao Shikang frowned when he heard this, "The United States may not dare to fight, right? Isn't it afraid of repeating the mistakes of North Korea and South Vietnam?"

"It's impossible not to fight. Think about it, the coalition forces in the Middle East now have more than 600,000 people. How much does it cost to feed cattle and horses? Not to mention the maintenance costs of all kinds of aircraft, warships, missiles, etc. Together, it's probably cost 200 million to 300 million US dollars a day.

After spending so much military spending, mobilizing so many people, and setting up such a large formation. If you just pretend to behave and don’t fight at all, think about what face the United States has and what kind of say it has in the Middle East in the future? Who else is willing to listen to it?" Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "So you must fight."

"If we really fight, we will be in danger." Zhao Shikang said, "The Kovites area is too small and full of soldiers everywhere. Once a war starts, the fire of war will spread across the country. At that time, our oil wells may be blown up."

"So I'll ask you to take a look today to see how much our losses may be if the war breaks out." Xia Tian nodded.

"Because we invested in the Middle East earlier, we bought oil wells in the oil-rich area, and they are almost all close to major transportation routes." Zhao Shikang said as he pointed out, "If the war breaks out, we will also be the most vulnerable to attack."

"Well, what about the HSBC oil well?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.

"They entered the Middle East more slowly than we did. The oil wells they bought were a little remote, so their oil wells might have escaped." Zhao Shikang said again.

When Tianxia Group bought oil wells, it was unexpected that it would encounter war, so the oil wells they bought were close to major traffic roads for easy transportation. But if the war was together, the oil wells located on major traffic roads were also the most dangerous and were likely to be affected by the war.

When Xia Tian heard him say this, he smiled and nodded, "That is, the HSBC oil wells are safer than our oil wells?"

"Well, that's what I can say." Zhao Shikang admitted depressedly.
