November 17th.

The $150 million worth of crude oil that Bao Junyi had previously purchased was sold through various channels within a month, with an average transaction price of $12.65 per barrel, a profit of $825 million, and a total profit of $958 million after deducting taxes from the principal.

All of the Hong Kong stocks were sold half a month ago, and after deducting fees, the total profit was HK$2.766 billion.

As for spot gold, it has now risen to $125 per ounce. The price of gold continues to hit new highs and has been fluctuating recently. There is still a wave of increases.

Bao Junyi was actually worried about whether his intervention would affect the development of history. Therefore, Bao Junyi did not purchase crude oil on a large scale, nor did he short the U.S. stock market. He only bought less noticeable safe-haven products such as gold.

Fortunately, the oil crisis came as expected and did not affect the course of history.

However, Bao Junyi was not in a hurry to sell his spot gold. He already had the funds and was not short of money, so he could wait a little longer.

That afternoon, Bao Junyi asked the finance department to inject 2 billion Hong Kong dollars into the Miracle Automobile Industrial Park, which was also a shot in the arm for the construction companies and helped stabilize their morale.

Now the stock prices of major companies in Hong Kong have plummeted, and they cannot repay their loans, and a small-scale bankruptcy wave has occurred.

Many companies, especially construction units, have long payment terms and cannot afford to delay payments, which can easily lead to bankruptcy.

Bao Junyi will use this money to complete the first phase of delivery, so that the construction company will not go bankrupt due to a broken capital chain.

While Bao Junyi was processing documents in the company's Central Building, a wave of interviews was triggered by Miracle Car's recruitment.

Since the salary packages offered were only available in developed Western countries in the 1970s, they were adopted from the templates built in later generations.

The base salary offered is HK$1,500, plus overtime pay, bonus, year-end bonus, and free food and accommodation.

Basically, you can earn more than HK$3,000 per month, which is safe and secure.

The average monthly income of Hong Kong citizens is now HK$1,000, and some dishwashers only earn around HK$400. Miracle Car offers a basic salary of HK$1,500, including food, accommodation and other benefits, so Hong Kong workers flocked to sign up for interviews.

On this day, many people from factories of all sizes in Hong Kong asked for leave, giving various reasons, such as their period coming, or even saying their husbands were cheating and they were in a hurry to catch them. There were all kinds of strange reasons for asking for leave.

Li Wenbin opened a garment factory in Hong Kong with more than 200 workers. He finally received an order from the United States yesterday and came to check the production situation today.

I came to the factory to inspect its development and was stunned to see that half of the workers were missing.

Li Wenbin shouted angrily: "Liu Bin, how can you, as a supervisor, run your business? Why are there so few people? Where have the workers gone?"

"Boss, many workers have taken leave today due to family matters or illness. I don't know the reason." Liu Bin said with a look of grievance.

"Are you stupid? You can't even ask for leave all at once on the same day. Go investigate immediately."

This happened just as we got an order. I wonder if it was caused by Lao Wang’s factory next door.

"Okay, boss. I'll go right away." Liu Bin ran to investigate in panic.

This situation does not only occur in one factory, but in all factories in Hong Kong.

However, at the entrance of the Miracle Automobile Industrial Park in Tseung Kwan O, a large number of people have come and are queuing up to register for interviews. The preliminary estimate is that there are nearly 20,000 people, and the number is still increasing.

The recruitment turmoil here also attracted newspaper reporters.

That night, major newspapers reported the heated interview scene.

Many factory owners saw their employees on TV and actually took leave to interview at other factories.

The bosses of major factories are very angry, but also helpless. People tend to go to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is human nature.

Unless the factory's welfare benefits are improved, worker turnover is inevitable.

However, the recruitment only lasted for two days and Miracle Auto was fully staffed.

For many workers who were not recruited for interviews, Miracle Group gave each of them 50 Hong Kong dollars as transportation expenses. The amount was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. This amount of money was very beneficial for publicity and advertising, and it would be much easier to recruit talents next time.

Bao Junyi didn't know that the recruitment of Miracle Factory had caused a stir outside.

Bao Junyi is now sitting in the office of the Central Building, listening to Jia Yuezheng's report on the rectification and structural adjustment of Audi Europe, and assisting Adams to complete it in more than half a month.

This time, Jia Yuezheng brought back a batch of V8 engines in order to produce a batch of new Audi luxury cars as soon as possible.

Hong Kong’s current industrial base is unable to meet the needs of producing a complete vehicle. Since many related supply chains cannot provide them and the industrial base is poor, the engines can only be produced by Audi in Europe.

Audi is located on the banks of the Danube River, surrounded by a strong industrial base, and its supply chain can quickly meet demand, so the engine production is transported back to Hong Kong for assembly and manufacturing of complete vehicles.

Bao Junyi can only plan slowly, either by acquiring shares of companies in the relevant industry chain, or by taking control and moving here.

Jia Yuezheng continued, "This time, Adams' thunderous tactics have fired or laid off a large number of management personnel, most of whom were inserted by Mercedes-Benz."

"We have replaced and promoted a group of young backbones. Now the work efficiency and production progress completely exceed our Hong Kong needs."

"Adams is truly a talent. If it weren't for Mercedes-Benz's suppression and lack of funds, Audi wouldn't have been in this state."

"Yes, many workers highly recognize him. He often visits the factory floor to understand progress and technical difficulties, and resolves them promptly."

"Well, let's leave the Audi Europe side to Adams now. It's already on track."
