Reborn as a desert, the nation helps me build a top-tier city.

Chapter 10 New Municipal Enterprises: The Advantages of Reborn Individuals!

8 month 1 day.

Oasis City Government.

Inside the city lord's office.

Zhao Qing was in front of the computer, chatting with Li Zhou.

After spending time together, the two have become good friends and are increasingly relaxed when chatting.

Occasionally, the two would talk about the topic of rebirth.

Zhao Qing asked, "Li Zhou, in 2026, will the most well-known internet companies in China still be Baidu, Tencent, and Ali?"

"no!"

Li Zhou replied in the input box: "After the 4G network gradually became popular, Baidu Group has fallen behind and has been replaced by Zijie Tiaodong."

Zijie ByteDance owns several nationally popular apps, such as Daily TouTiao, Douyin Short Video, Fanqie Free Novels, Hongguo Free Short Drama, and Doubao AI Assistant.

ByteDance, valued at $5500 billion and projected to generate $1860 billion in revenue by 2025, is the most profitable internet company in China.

In terms of e-commerce.

In 2015, a group-buying e-commerce company called Pinduoduo was founded and rapidly rose to prominence, reaching a peak market capitalization of $2042 billion.

Upon seeing this text...

Zhao Qing's eyes lit up.

He began, "Right now, Zijie TikTok hasn't taken off yet, and Pinduoduo hasn't been established. If we preemptively seize these opportunities, wouldn't we have a chance to replace them?"

"Very likely!"

Li Zhou replied, "If Oasis City had made advance preparations and chosen to establish a short video company and a group-buying e-commerce company, and then continuously invested funds, it would indeed have had a chance to take its place."

"Alright, then I'll have the municipal government establish two new municipal enterprises later!"

Zhao Qing made a decisive decision quickly.

The state invested 5 trillion yuan to establish the Desert Oasis City and appointed him as its lord.

This was a huge opportunity for Zhao Qing.

Alar City was originally a county-level city.

This county-level city lord was virtually unknown in terms of both rank and influence.

He is now the lord of Oasis City.

Zhao Qing's administrative rank and public profile both increased exponentially.

If one day in the future...

If Oasis City can become a sub-provincial city or a city with independent planning status, then its level can be further upgraded.

For a city to rise to prominence, it needs not only a strong economy, but also well-known and reputable companies.

For example, there's Ali Baba in Hangzhou.

For example, there's Tencent in Shenzhen.

For example, Beijing has Baidu.

If Oasis City could have a similar internet company, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the city's visibility.

Li Zhou replied, "Lord Zhao, if Oasis City is preparing to establish a new municipal enterprise, why not establish a new energy vehicle company?"

"New energy vehicles?"

Zhao Qing asked curiously, "I know the country is strongly supporting new energy vehicles. Will there be well-known new energy vehicle companies in China in the future?"

Li Zhou replied: "Taking advantage of the development of new energy vehicles, a number of new energy vehicle companies have indeed emerged in China, and their market value is not low."

Take Tesla, a foreign car company, as an example.

Tesla's peak market capitalization reached $1.43 trillion.

Domestic car manufacturers are somewhat inferior.

However, Bi Yadi's peak market value exceeded one trillion yuan.

NIO, at its peak, had a market capitalization of $600 billion.

Lithium-ion cars reached a peak market capitalization of $500 billion.

Xiaopeng Motors had a peak market capitalization of $218 billion.

Xiaomi Auto, Seres Auto, and other automakers have great potential.

Li Zhou added: "In 2014, Xia Guo had 12 new energy vehicles."

By 2015, China will have 58.3 million new energy vehicles.

By 2020, China will have 492 million new energy vehicles.

By 2021, China will have 784 million new energy vehicles.

By 2022, China will have 1310 million new energy vehicles.

By 2023, China will have 2041 million new energy vehicles.

By 2024, China will have 3140 million new energy vehicles.

By 2025, China will have 4397 million new energy vehicles.

Based on these data...

Entering the new energy vehicle sector at this time is a very wise choice.

Seeing these intuitive data.

Zhao Qing made up his mind instantly to establish a new energy vehicle company.

But soon.

He frowned and said, "The country has already invested 5 trillion yuan to build the desert oasis city, and it is impossible to allocate funds to the oasis city in the short term."

The city-owned enterprises lack sufficient funds for development.

Since the establishment of Oasis City, money has been flowing out like water every day.

Even building cities is a struggle.

There wasn't enough extra money, so we developed municipal enterprises.

"Rest assured, Lord Zhao!"

Li Zhou replied with a smile, "I am a reborn person, and I am aware of the major events that will happen in the future."

For example, in August 2014, the Nasdaq index rose by more than 5% in a single month, and going long could have made a fortune.

For example, in the fourth quarter of 2014, international crude oil prices plummeted, presenting a good opportunity to short sell.

For example, starting at the end of October 2014, an epic bull market lasting eight months will begin.

Seize any one of these opportunities.

Oasis City will then have ample funds to develop its municipal enterprises!

"good!"

Zhao Qing was extremely excited.

There was a lot of information provided by Li Zhou.

He was confident that he could seize this opportunity to make a fortune and generate massive development funds for Oasis City!

Next.

The two discussed many details and devised a plan to go long on Nasdaq index futures.

Followed by.

Zhao Qing quickly made arrangements, instructing the Oasis City government to find a group of professional financial personnel to open an account with the overseas platform Gain Capital FOREX with a leverage ratio of 200 times, establishing 200 million lots of Nasdaq futures contracts to go long on Nasdaq index futures.

The Nasdaq futures market supports two-way trading.

In other words, investors can choose to go long or short.

Of course, this is due to the existence of the margin mechanism.

Investors are required to prepay a certain amount of margin.

Nasdaq futures margin is calculated as: current price × number of lots × contract size ÷ leverage ratio.

One lot is 100 contracts.

When I opened my account and started trading, the Nasdaq futures price was 4370.90.

所以每交易一手，保证金是4370.90×1手×100÷200＝2185.45美元。

If we establish a long position of 200 million Nasdaq index futures contracts.

光是保证金，绿洲市政府就要支出4370.90×200万手×100÷200＝43.7亿美元。

For Nasdaq index futures, one standard lot is worth $100 for every 1 point fluctuation.

Two million lots, and every 1 point fluctuation represents $200 million.

The margin is $43.7 billion.

If the Nasdaq index falls by 22 points, the $43.7 billion in margin will be wiped out.

Li Zhou is a reborn individual.

He clearly remembers that in August 2014, the Nasdaq index futures rose all the way up, increasing by 5.23% in a single month, reaching 4598 points in early September.

The Nasdaq index rose a full 228 points from 4370 to 4598.

Two million contracts of Nasdaq index futures, each fluctuation of one point represents $200 million.

In other words.

The 228-point increase would have earned the Oasis City government a whopping $456 billion.

US$456 billion, at the latest exchange rate of 1:6.15, is equivalent to 2804 billion Chinese yuan.

At that time, the Oasis City Government will have ample funds to develop a series of municipal enterprises!
