Chapter 513 Returning with a Full Load and Preparing to Return Home

They instigated some major oil-producing countries to continue to export more oil, and they used this oil to manipulate oil prices in the market and put oil prices under their control.

But how could Lin Hao let them have their way? So when they found several oil-producing countries in the Middle East, they forced them to buy their subsequent oil production.

A country in Africa released a new piece of news that they have discovered a large oil field with estimated reserves of hundreds of millions of barrels of oil.

As soon as the news came out, oil prices fell.

But in the blink of an eye, some experts pointed out that this was fake news, as the country had already discovered it and it was impossible for it to have oil, so oil prices rose again.

But soon after, news came out that this was true news, and gave the precise coordinates of the oil field, saying that it was explored by an American oil survey company and that oil wells were currently being built, so the oil price fell again instantly.

But in the blink of an eye, another expert came out and showed photos, saying that there was indeed an oil field here, but it was extremely difficult to exploit and it would be impossible to produce oil within a few years, so the oil price rose again.

Then, a well-known expert from a certain country slapped his face again, saying that our oil fields are basically open-pit oil, which is very easy to exploit. You can just find a place to dig with a hoe and scoop with a spoon, and you can produce 100 million barrels every day!

Oil prices plummeted again.

"Asshole, asshole, what kind of company is this Damocles Mineral Group? Why does it always go against us?"

This wave of extreme pulling has numbed the Eagle Sauce and European aristocrats. As long as they try to raise the oil price, Lin Hao will frantically sell off the oil reserves, short the stock price, and place oil futures orders.

While they were trying to lower the price of oil, Lin Hao was absorbing oil futures orders and shorting oil stock prices.

After several months of extreme struggle, Lin Hao naturally made a fortune, while the American people and European nobles were caught in the trap every time and suffered heavy losses every time.

Unwilling to accept defeat, they immediately collected all the information and frantically searched for the man behind the incident. At the same time, they sent people to check whether the African country really had oil.

After their "disdainful efforts", they finally found Lin Hao's flaws.

It turned out that in March, they received good news that such a large amount of capital flow would inevitably lead to supervision, and under such supervision, some clues were finally found.

Lin Hao was found at the Eagle Sauce headquarters.

So they immediately mobilized their connections and asked the relevant departments of the United States to come to cause trouble. Buddha, who was involved in everything, the CIA, which did nothing except selling flour, and the IRS, which would do anything to collect taxes, all came to them.

This is what they did behind the scenes. In order to disgust Lin Hao, they even pushed for certain sanctions bills.

Since the conflict has arisen, if I cannot resolve it, then I will resolve it with the person who has the conflict with me.

No problem, this is very Eagle sauce!

However, what they didn't expect was that after a series of investigations, they found out that this place had only been rented a year ago as an oil reserve.

In a previous oil transaction, the oil here had already been sold to the American oil reserve company, which means that the oil here is their own.

"F**K, F, F, F...!"

What’s most frustrating is that the ISR found out that the company that purchased the oil reserves was evading taxes.

The CIA, which had known for a long time that there was flour here, said: "The evidence is irrefutable!"

Foboluo nodded and said, "Hmm, this is very interesting!"

"F!~!" A group of troublemakers took a lot of effort to escape safely.

Just like that, after all this trouble, the Youtai people who gained nothing did not give up and kept collecting information about Lin Hao, the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, on the surface, he was holding back, obviously preparing for a big move, and he was also on guard against Lin Hao's methods.

However, their actions did not cause any harm to Lin Hao at all.

On March 4, Iran's previous ban on oil exports ended, but the impact of the oil gap caused during this period has not dissipated.

The daily shortage of oil exceeds 500 million barrels, which is about one-tenth of the world's total consumption, so the international crude oil price remains high.

Major international speculators, securities dealers, etc. thought that the oil crisis was finally over and oil prices should return to normal, so they began short selling.

However, oil prices actually rose again, but this time it was not manipulated by Lin Hao.

It turns out that in order to increase their bargaining chips with oil-producing countries in the energy market and strengthen their position as consumer countries, Western countries have formulated strategic oil reserve plans.

This "restocking" behavior out of "safety" needs further pushed up international oil prices and lasted until January 1980.

At this time, the total oil reserves of Western countries had reached 53 billion barrels, equivalent to almost half of the annual oil production of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1979.

More than 10 billion barrels of reserves were added in 1979 alone.

By June, Lin Hao's storage depots in more areas were inspected by local governments and even armed forces.

But unfortunately, all of Lin Hao’s oil storage points are actually empty shells, or contain food such as potatoes and rice!
And not only that, the United States has directly come up with a new regulation, requiring that all cargo ships leaving the port in the United States, all cargo departure points and destinations, as well as the goods being transported, must be reported.

Although this thing is originally reported, and requires the installation of GPS trackers to ensure that all ships do not deviate from their course.

On the surface, this is to combat illegal smuggling, ensure the interests of various countries, and propose that everyone join.

John Bull responded immediately, and at the same time many European countries also nodded to join, and Hong Kong Island had to join as well.

But!
who cares?
Anyway, Lin Hao doesn’t care. Otherwise, why do they always come back empty-handed every time they try to raid Lin Hao’s oil reserves?
Of course, it is because of Lin Hao’s space equipment. The expanded space is expanded based on Lin Hao’s mental power.

Lin Hao's mental power reaches 20, so he can expand a space with a length, width and height of 20 meters, and this space reaches 8000 cubic meters.

There is a point that is easy to cause misunderstanding, which is the relationship between 20m, 8000m, and 8000 cubic meters.

Simply put, 1 cubic meter is the volume of a cube that is 1 meter high, 1 meter wide, and 1 meter long. It is also the volume of 1000 liters of water at room temperature.

2立方米呢，不是2*2*2，而1*1*2，长宽高里有一个是2米的。之前看到很多书里的立方很搞笑，比如空间的表述是平方，8立方就是8平方=2米*4米。

Or 20 meters can be expressed as 8000 meters. The question is how to calculate 8000 meters? Why not put the earth in it?

比如正确的是20m=20*20*20=8000个1立方组成的空间，而不是8000*8000*8000组成的空间！
If you don’t believe it, you can go to "Minecraft" and stack up the blocks. In fact, they are not that big at all.

Therefore, Lin Hao’s space equipment can expand 8000 cubic meters each, and each can hold 7040 tons of oil.

If these space equipment are strung together like rosary beads, such a small string of more than a hundred beads can hold millions of tons of oil.

This is quite impressive. The key is that Lin Hao has countless strings of such prayer beads in his hands.

Therefore, all of Lin Hao’s oil reserves are in his own hands. When there is a need to sell oil somewhere, he will put the oil into the reserve warehouse for sale.

Wherever the oil is purchased, it will be directly loaded into the space equipment.
When Europe needs oil, the oil in the North African reserve warehouse will be sold. When the island country needs oil, the oil in the Indian reserve warehouse will be sold. If the Eagle Sauce needs oil, it will be directly loaded into the temporary reserve warehouse built in the Eagle Sauce country.

It only takes about ten hours to fly around half the world. With such a convenient channel for transporting supplies, Lin Hao's transportation business is booming.

You know, it takes at least half a month for a transport ship to cross half the globe, and the oil, water and fees on the road can easily cost millions of dollars.

Now, Lin Hao can put the necessary materials into the space with just a wave of his hand, and it only costs a few thousand dollars to travel around the earth.

Lin Hao is not stupid. How could he really store all the oil on someone else's territory and be controlled by someone else!
This is the reason why the Youtai people’s surprise attacks along the way were completely ineffective, because most of the oil was not in the storage location, but in Lin Hao’s space equipment.

Even these original reserves were registered as containing corn, potatoes and the like.

By September, the losses of the Youtai Group had reached over 100 billion US dollars.

A loss of hundreds of billions of dollars would be devastating to any organization.

At the same time, this failure made them feel that things were out of their control.

Lin Hao knew exactly what this group of people wanted to do behind the scenes, which was nothing more than controlling the world's economic lifeline.

As nearly 100 million tons of oil in Lin Hao's hands were gradually cleared out, the Youtai people's attacks on Lin Hao became even more frantic!
But Lin Hao was not afraid at all, because oil prices have been rising continuously, and Lin Hao's main goal became to clear his inventory.

By November 1979, Lin Hao had closed all his stock positions and completed the delivery of oil futures.

The international oil price reached an all-time high of $40.75 per barrel. At this time, Lin Hao withdrew completely from the oil crisis with a profit of more than billion US dollars.

As for the subsequent Iran-Iraq War, oil production in both countries completely stopped and did not cause an oil crisis, so Lin Hao did not continue to participate.

Because Western countries already had sufficient oil reserves at that time, international oil prices did not rise further and generally remained at US$1980 to US$37 per barrel in 40.

After 1981, the national oil price began to gradually decline, until it fell below US$1986 per barrel in July 7.

But that will be a long time in the future, so Lin Hao withdrew from the oil market and does not plan to continue working in the oil market in the short term.

However, before leaving, Lin Hao prepared a long-awaited gift for the group of Youtai people.

At an oil well in a certain African country, a group of people were watching the oil gushing out. Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Why is there no oil?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the oil well quickly ran to the side of the oil well to observe. After confirming it, he asked in disbelief:
"What the hell is going on? Why is there no oil down there?"

The person in charge then tried countless methods but failed to pump out a barrel of oil from the well. At this time, news came from other mines in the oil field that all the oil wells were out of oil.

The person in charge immediately thought of the debate in the news about whether there was oil here.

The head office then sent several experts with the latest precision instruments to conduct a detailed analysis of these oil wells and to re-explore the oil field reserves.

However, a surprising result was finally obtained: there was actually no oil here.

Then everyone's faces turned pale, because they thought that this must be the mysterious man's masterpiece again, and they were fooled by the mysterious man.

But at this time Lin Hao smiled triumphantly.

Because before this place was acquired, the so-called oil wells drilled here were actually just large oil storage tanks installed dozens of meters underground.

The so-called oil wells were just pumping devices installed on oil storage tanks, and Lin Hao had deployed more than a dozen such fake oil wells.

At that time, there was a lot of news about whether there was oil here, so Lin Hao disguised this large oil field with a reserve of 1 billion tons.

When the oil crisis was over and the price of oil exceeded $40, Lin Hao had the so-called oil fields here sold in a package to the group of Youtai people and European aristocrats for $80 billion, making them suffer the loss.

Lin Hao took the money and returned to Hong Kong Island in a carefree manner. At this time, Lin Hao discovered that Bai Niangzi had finally made up her mind to divorce and asked Lin Hao to help find a lawyer to get back the custody of her son.

Because Lin Hao had previously taken out the script of "The Bund" and invited Feng Chengcheng to play the role of White Snake, and as soon as the show was broadcast, White Snake became an instant hit.

However, fame brings troubles. Her sudden fame made her family crisis even worse. Various scandals spread around the world, and her husband caused domestic violence and injured her, almost crippling her. That's why she decided to divorce.

Naturally, Lin Hao agreed to her request, and the rest was easy. Lin Hao asked Steven for help and successfully helped her achieve her wish.

Lin Hao then took the opportunity to invite her to join Jiayi TV Station and gave her several scripts for her to choose from...!
······
Time flies and 1986 years have passed.

Lin Hao stood on the company building, looking at Victoria Harbour, and the plot of Home with Kids rang in his mind.

Lin Hao thought it was time to go back.

It was also in this year that Qiao Yicheng was already a junior in college. It was also in this year that Qiao Zuwang's brother-in-law, Qi Zhiqiang, Wei Shufang's husband, died of cancer.

Lin Hao was preparing to return to Jinling to rescue Qi Zhiqiang, as long as he could rescue Qi Zhiqiang.
