Chapter 43 Fire Phoenix Investment

Ren Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned: "Mr. Li, you might as well say that as long as you are within Zhiqiang's ability, I will not be stingy."

Li Wen smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite. President Ren is a veteran of the financial industry. I believe he knows a lot of people. I hope President Ren can help recommend someone to me."

"I wonder what kind of person Mr. Li needs?"

"I need a professional manager for someone who can manage my investment company." Li Wen said calmly. Li Wen knew his ability and couldn't do it in management. He didn't have much desire for power and would rather be a hand-off manager. Besides, Hong Kong is only part of his plan.

Everyone was slightly stunned. Liang Hongru said, "Mr. Li is not involved in the management of the company?" The young man was successful, and few people didn't want to stand in front of applause and flowers. If Li Wen's wealth was exposed at this time, I believe that the flashes of the whole world would gather on him without hesitation.

Li Wen smiled and said, "Managing a company is too tiring. I prefer to enjoy the fun of life than managing a company."

Ren Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes again and looked at Li Wen carefully for the first time. Elegant and calm. This is what Ren Zhiqiang evaluated Li Wen. Is it really because of luck that such a young man? I can't guess whether Li Wen's words were his true intentions. I put away my thoughts and said with a wry smile: "A manager? It's hard to find this person! Li Wen really gave me a problem."

If you are in charge of a company that may be worth one billion dollars, there will definitely be no fewer people who are interested, but if you have the ability to play with it, not everyone will do it.

Moreover, if a person is recommended by Ren Zhiqiang, if something happens in the future, it means that Ren Zhiqiang will indirectly bear some intangible responsibilities. This job is a thankless job.

"With President Ren's position in the financial industry, I believe it will not be a difficult problem."

"Haha...you don't have to wear a high hat for me. I'll think about it carefully to see if there is any suitable one..."

"Then I'll wait for good news to be the president!" If you just form the company, it's nothing. After the green light is opened, all the procedures can be completed quickly. The problem company is not a wallet company, it needs to be run and managed by people. On the other hand, Li Wen urgently needs to organize a team, a team that can fight for him around the world.

Everything that should be discussed, and everything that should not be discussed has been discussed. Since there is no big conflict of interest, everyone will chat casually next time, and everyone has no intention of going downstairs. Li Wen has no intention of making friends with these young heroes. After time has passed, he left one after another.

During this period, Li Wen talked about buying a house. Huo Tianxing was also interested in getting along with Li Wen, so he introduced his real estate company's villa in Repulse Bay, saying that he would give Li Wen a 20% discount.

Li Wen liked the environment of Repulse Bay very much. On the second day after returning from the banquet, he took the address given by Huo Tianxing to see the independent villa covering an area of ​​nearly ten acres. The villa is facing the sea and backed by the mountain. He can sit in the small courtyard in front of the villa, listening to the sound of the waves swaying on the shore and enjoying the beauty of the sunset setting. Li Wen fell in love with it at first sight.

Without calling Huo Tianxing, he completed the transfer procedures for the transfer of this independent villa priced at $8 million on the spot. He hired a cleaning company to clean and handle furniture. Chen Qingyun and others installed security equipment. It took him a few more days before moving out of the Peninsula Hotel until April 29.

In the past few days, with the help of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, a company with a registered capital of US$1 billion was quietly registered and established in Hong Kong. The legal representative of the company was Xiao Tian. Since it was a private company, the information of the company's shareholders was kept confidential.

Of course, this is relative. People like Liang Hongru know that there are three shareholders in the company, namely Li Wen, who holds 40% of the shares, a 30% stake in a registered capital of the British Virgin Islands, and another 30% are occupied by a company registered in Bermuda.

Liang Hongru and the others did not ask about the relationship between these two fund companies and Li Wen, and Li Wen did not explain that these two fund companies had been registered as early as the United States.

There was no sign and the 500-square-meter office on the 36th floor of the Bank of China Building was empty. There was only a plaque of "Huofeng Investment Co., Ltd." hanging at the door. Except for a few insiders, no one expected that this company with even a plaque was a company with a registered capital of up to US$1 billion.

The person asked Ren Zhiqiang to help find him was not staggering until May 1. He was a young man of 34 or 35 years old, named Chen Shaofeng. When Chen Shaofeng came to the villa in Resui Bay, Li Wen just threw him a string of keys to the company's office, a bank card containing $500,000 and a sentence "I will pass the company on Friday, I want to see a fully operating company, a team that has a complete report on the recent situation of international crude oil futures and investment plans." He sent him away.

Professional things need to be handed over to professionals. Since Ren Zhiqiang, the president who has been in charge of the Financial Administration for more than ten years, Li Wen doesn't have to worry about his ability at all.

It’s a horse or a mule, just pull it out and run it around for a while. At the same time, Li Wen urgently needs a team.

Because on April 28, Phil sent an information that Sumitomo Japan gave up its secret acquisition of Unicorn Oil, but found a Japanese consortium shorting crude oil futures on the New York Commercial Exchange.

Japan wants to stop CNOOC's financing by suppressing crude oil prices!

On April 6 and 7, PetroChina successfully listed overseas to raise US$2.9 billion, but it is US$100 million away from its planned target.

Perhaps affected by the Nasdaq sector trend in April, international crude oil continued to hit a record low, hitting a monthly lowest of US$23.45 per barrel on the last trading day in April, which was down 10 US$10 per barrel from the highest point in March, a drop of 30%.

CNOOC's current main business is crude oil exploration, development and sales, and its source of profits almost comes from crude oil sales. As long as crude oil futures continue to fall or remain below US$25 per barrel, CNOOC's listing financing is likely to be stranded again.

There was no memory of Japan suppressing crude oil prices in its previous life. However, since it had just influenced Unico Petroleum to join the development of Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field, Japan immediately launched a plan to suppress crude oil prices. In terms of time, it seems that this plan should not be a temporary decision, but a two-pronged plan. It was just that its current situation was different and he could understand some inside information that he could not understand in his previous life.

Li Wen remembered that in the past few months after April, crude oil futures prices significantly recovered their lost ground until they were affected by the Nasdaq market again, falling to a historical low of US$15 per barrel after the September 11 event.

Another most profound impression was the big moves between banks under these major Japanese consortiums around 2001. The rumor at that time was that there were big problems with these major banks. Therefore, after the big moves of several major banks, the Nikkei index, the Japanese economic indicator, fell into a bear market for a long time.

When Li Wen was secretly talking with Cheng Sishou, Cheng Sishou mentioned that behind the sharp drop in crude oil in October 1999, there was a shadow of these major Japanese banks. Now they want to repeat the old drama. With the strength of these major Japanese consortiums, China really can't do anything about this open plot.

But will the market still express their wishes this time?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On Friday, May 5, Li Wen and his friends rushed to the company office of the Bank of China Building early in the morning. The evil plaque had been protected. The office door was wide open. A beautiful woman was sitting at the front desk. When she saw Li Wen entering the door, she immediately stood up and showed a professional smile: "Hello you! Welcome to Huofeng Investment. What can I do to help you?

Li Wen smiled and said, "Hello, beautiful sister! Please tell Chen Shaofeng that Li Wen is here."

"Are you looking for Mr. Chen? Do you have an appointment?"

Li Wen curled his lips and said, "Appointment? It seems there are..."

"Then wait a moment, I will help you contact Mr. Chen's secretary... Hello Secretary Sun, I am Liu Xin from the front desk. A gentleman named Li Wen said he wanted to meet Mr. Chen... He said there was an appointment... OK..." Liu Xin put down the phone, pushed open the door of the front desk and walked out, saying to Li Wen: "Several gentlemen, please follow me in and have a drink..."

"Miss Liu, I'll just say hello. You're busy with your... Mr. Wen, why don't you call me directly? Please come inside." But Chen Shaofeng hurried out from inside.

Li Wen smiled and said, "I'm not here to come and test your results... it seems good." Then he went into the office.

Chen Shaofeng quickly trotted forward and led Li Wen to the conference room. Chen Qingyun and the others stayed in the reception room outside. After Li Wen and Xiao Tian sat down, Chen Shaofeng turned around and said to Secretary Sun: "Secretary Sun, go and notify everyone in the futures team to come here. By the way, remember to let them bring the report."

Secretary Sun glanced at Li Wen in confusion, and without saying much, he left the conference room.

Li Wen looked at the office of about 40 square meters. The newly renovated ones still had a faint smell. There were equipment that should be available. It was not obvious that it was made in four days. He smiled and said, "It's great to be able to do this level in four days!"

Chen Shaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Time is too tight. The office decoration cost three times the price to allow decoration workers to work 24 hours a day before they can be completed yesterday."

"I do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, but I ignore the process, I just want the result. I hope you can give me a surprise." Li Wen said lightly.

Chen Shaofeng knew what Li Wen pointed out. Through Ren Zhiqiang, he understood the company's business direction, which is exactly what he is good at: "I also want to surprise the boss. After all, this is the boss's first task, but unfortunately it may have to disappoint Wen Shao. I dare not make up for Wen Shao. Fortunately, Wen Shao's request is only in crude oil futures. These people have always paid attention to the market, so although time is tight, I still barely gathered a small team of 5 people. I don't know if it can meet Wen Shao's requirements."

Li Wen heard that although Chen Shaofeng's words were self-deprecating, he revealed a bit of pride when talking about the small team. He seemed to be very confident in the team, so he said: "I am not up to you to meet my requirements, but the company's first business is the company's first business."
