Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1195 – War

Fu Guangzheng and Li Zekai don’t dare to believe Feng Yu’s predictions entirely. He had said that the US economy is not doing well and lacks money. How are they going to start a war?

Wars are costly, and military expenses is not a small amount. Currently, the US is still in debt, and just the interest alone is not a small amount. Why would they spend money by starting a war?

Under normal circumstances, the US government should use economic sanctions against their enemies or send a small team to capture Bin Laden.

But gold prices rising is still possible. After all, the investors had withdrawn their money from the stock markets and will invest elsewhere. Gold and oil are the best options.

The three of them continued chatting on other topics, from business to women. Kirilenko and Feng Yu had gotten married and will miss out on lots of fun. Li Zekai tried to persuade Fu Guangzheng not to get married too early.

Fu Guangzheng raised his brows. “Zekai, you are not as good as me when it comes to women. Liang Ying is very obedient and doesn’t dare to defy my orders. She will fill the bathtub with water immediately when I say I want to bath.”

Feng Yu looked at Fu Guangzheng. Stop boasting. Professor Liang is Liang Ying’s father, and her character is not those obedient types.

“You all don’t believe me? Brother Feng, I am giving you a small gift today. Just look at your wife’s attitude when you get back tonight.” Fu Guangzheng said proudly. “Zekai, getting married doesn’t mean you cannot fool around outside. You just need to take note not to have children with other women.”

......

Back at Feng Yu’s apartment in Hong Kong, Feng Yu noticed Li Na taking out the slippers for him the moment he enters. When he sat on the sofa, Li Na went behind him and gave him a massage.

Feng Yu suddenly remembered his conversation with Fu Guangzheng in the afternoon. What did Li Na hear?

Feng Yu pulled Li Na onto his lap. “Nana, what’s wrong with you today?”

“You don’t like it?” Li Na asked curiously.

“No. I still prefer the usual you. Did Liang Ying taught you to do this?” Feng Yu asked with a laugh.

“Yes. She told me that women in Hong Kong and many other countries must learn to take care of their husbands and families before they got married. Am I not good enough in the past?” Li Na asked.

“Hahaha... you are tricked. Yes, this might be true in countries, like Japan and Korea, where men have higher status than women. This practice is also found in Hong Kong and Macau, but more than 20 years ago. Also, what they do is their business. I still prefer the usual you, and you don’t need to change anything.”

They chatted, and Feng Yu’s hands started roaming...

After Li Zekai returned home, he told his father and elder brother what Feng Yu said and seek their opinions.

Superman Li paused for a few seconds and asked. “Zeju, what do you think?”

Li Zeju thought for a while. “Dad, I think what Feng Yu said might be true, but what Zekai said is not wrong either. The US will surely retaliate, but starting a war should not be possible.”

Superman Li sighed. “I had always told you all to watch the news. Didn’t you notice the UK is also starting to move?”

Li Zekai and his elder brother looked at each other and asked. “Dad, what happened in the UK?”

“The UK had started to move its troops and funds. This is an indication that the UK will be cooperating with the US to start a war. Don’t forget that the UK is a US ally in Europe, and once the UK moves, the US will surely join in the frenzy because the UK will not win without any help.”

Li Zekai suddenly remembered. “Dad, I remember some of Bush’s supporters are in the weaponry industry. If the US started a war, it would benefit these arms dealers, and it will be like what Feng Yu said. They can turn the focus overseas and use the Americans’ anger against terrorism to gain supporters!”

Superman Li nodded. “Politics and economy are closely related, and that’s why many schools have Political Economy discipline. Remember this. Although war will not benefit most Americans, it will benefit Bush’s supporters. They will pressure Bush to start the war.”

“Are we going to enter the market?”

“Wait. We will buy gold the moment the war starts. Just focus on our investments in China now. If we can get a slice of this vast market, our family’s assets can be doubled or tripled easily. Also, continue to increase our influences in the world ports, as this is the fundamentals of our family.”

.......

Fu Guangzheng is also discussing with Professor Liang and his Eldest Uncle, Fu Rongqi, if they should invest in gold. The global financial market is gloomy, and if they are not careful, they might suffer heavy losses.

Many people are wary of the financial markets now. What if those investors did not invest in gold or those who had invested in gold decide to withdraw from the market? Gold prices will crash.

“I think gold prices will not fall. What Feng Yu said is correct. Gold prices will rise during troubled times. The financial market is not doing well, and economies are gloomy. This is considered troubled times, and gold is an international currency. Many people will invest in gold to protect the value of their assets. When more people invest in gold, gold prices will continue to rise.” Professor Liang said.

Fu Rongqi frowned and nodded. “I also think so. Even if gold prices don’t rise, it will also not fall. There is a high possibility for us to make money, but we might also risk suffering some losses. No investment is guaranteed, but when the odds are in your favor, we will invest!”

The Li Family did not invest, but Li Zekai invested a small amount. Fu Rongqi and Fu Guangzheng invested a lot into gold. They know Wind, and Rain Consulting had invested most of their funds into gold.

When Feng Yu and Li Na returned to Beijing after a short holiday in Southeast Asia, the news reported the US, UK, and many other allies, will be sending their troops to Afghanistan for their war on terrorism. They want to eliminate Bin Laden, the leader of these terrorists!

Feng Yu immediately receive Fu Guangzheng’s call. Fu Guangzheng shouted excitedly. “Brother Feng, your analysis is too accurate! The war had started!”

Feng Yu replied modestly. “This is the analysis from my team, and it’s not my credit. Since the war had started, gold prices will continue to rise!”
