Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1018 Lin Yi

It is impossible for Lu Shaohua to stay in Shenzhen until the layoffs are over. After all, layoffs are just a link. In Lu Shaohua's plan, it is just a small link. There are more important things waiting for Lu Shaohua to do.

So, when Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong, he immediately went to Phoenix Financial Corporation. Inside Phoenix Financial Corporation, there is a team of traders. This team of traders is an open team, and they are responsible for the stock market operations in Hong Kong.

Their leader was Li Yunqing, but Li Yunqing went to the general command post, and this team of traders was handed over to a deputy general manager of Phoenix Financial Company who was later promoted.

The deputy general manager's name is Lin Yi, a 34-year-old young man, only a few years older than Lu Shaohua. He has been in Phoenix Group for 17 or 18 years and has been working in Phoenix Financial until a few years ago, when he was promoted.

It can be said that as long as Li Yunqing is not around, all affairs of Phoenix Financial Company will be handled by Lin Yi, and Lu Shaohua is looking for him now. The reason for looking for him is very simple, that is, to assign a task to him.

Didn't Lu Shaohua want to bring down the Morgan Consortium? The Morgan Consortium was a financial consortium. Although they were attacked by Lu Shaohua last time and were in a very bad state, they still managed to preserve part of their foundation and are now slowly recovering.

Taking action from the financial aspect is the best option and the only way. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to hit the vital point of the Morgan Consortium.

Let’s take a look at Phoenix Financial’s current team of traders. They were all taken away by Liu Mingzhang and his team, and each has their own tasks. It is almost impossible for Lu Shaohua to transfer a team of traders. The only one left is the team of traders in the open.

Fortunately, if Lu Shaohua wanted to take down the Morgan Consortium, he didn't need to hide his identity at all. He could just do it openly, and there would be no problem even using Phoenix Financial's account to operate directly.

Of course, in Lu Shaohua's plan, he would not take action against the Morgan Consortium so quickly. He would have to wait at least a year or two. However, at this time, targeted reconnaissance was still necessary.

If Lu Shaohua were calling on another team of traders now, he would not have to put in so much effort, because other teams of traders are experts who have played in the financial markets of various countries. They are familiar with every financial market. They only need to be given a few days to look at the environment, and then provide them with goals and operational plans, and they can carry out the operations.

However, Phoenix Financial's team of traders is not up to the task. They are only familiar with the financial market in Hong Kong and have no idea about foreign financial markets. They lack the knowledge to immediately take action against the Morgan Consortium, a financial company far away in the United States.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua came today mainly to give Lin Yi and the others a task, a task to familiarize themselves with the American financial market and understand the Morgan Consortium.

Let them get familiar with the situation first, and then wait for orders. When Lu Shaohua needs to use them, let them take action.

Lin Yi became the deputy general manager of Phoenix Financial. He had a certain understanding of Phoenix Financial. At least, Lin Yi knew that Liu Mingzhang was nominally their immediate superior, with the same status as Li Yunqing, but Liu Mingzhang did not care about them at all and left the management to Li Yunqing.

Why is this? Is it possible that Liu Mingzhang is just eating and drinking for free in Phoenix Group?

The answer is obvious, no!

Then, there is only one answer left, that is, Liu Mingzhang is acting in the dark, and in order to act, he naturally needs his own team of traders. From this, it can be seen that there must be an unknown team of traders behind Phoenix Financial.

Not only that, Lin Yi himself guessed that Phoenix Financial had at least three teams of traders, all of whom operated in the dark and acted in secret.

In fact, it is no wonder that Lin Yi would make such a guess. He has his reasons for making such a guess. First of all, Li Yunqing and Liu Mingzhang, these two would occasionally disappear for a long time, just like now, Li Yunqing has disappeared for several months and has never appeared in the company.

There is also Liu Mingzhang, who, like Li Yunqing, has also disappeared for several months. The fact that the two of them disappeared together means that there must be some action taking place, and for two giants to act together, there must be more than one team of traders controlling the situation.

There was another person who made Lin Yi feel very suspicious. This person was none other than Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing's classmate - Li Zongen.

Li Zongen had shown up several times in Phoenix Group, but every time he showed up he almost went straight to the chairman's office. Yes, he went straight up and no one would stop him. It was obvious that Lu Shaohua had given advance notice.

As a classmate of Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing, he is naturally a finance major. Isn't it strange that such a person appears in the chairman's office of Phoenix Group?

Lin Yi is sure that Li Zongen is also one of the giants of Phoenix Financial, and the most hidden one. Maybe the team of traders led by Li Zongen is even larger, and the number of operations is even more astonishing.

But then again, this was just Lin Yi's guess. Even though Lin Yi felt that his guess was 100% correct, he still didn't say it out loud, keeping it deep in his heart, because he knew that once he said it out loud, he would be kicked out of Phoenix Financial soon.

To be honest, Lin Yi was jealous of those traders who were hiding in the dark but belonged to Phoenix Financial, because those people were able to operate huge amounts of funds, while he, Lin Yi, could only operate with very small amounts of funds, a few hundred thousand, a million, or at most tens of millions, definitely not over 100 million, and all in Hong Kong dollars.

However, what Lin Yi never expected was that the big opportunity he had been looking forward to finally happened today, because the ultimate boss of Phoenix Group found him and gave him a task, which made Lin Yi ecstatic.

At the same time, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask one more question: "Director Lu, can you tell me how much money is involved in the operation?"

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, but he stretched out a hand and moved his five fingers. The meaning was obvious.

"Fifty million US dollars?" Lin Yi guessed.

Lu Shaohua shook his head, smiled, and said, "Less."

"Five hundred million dollars?" Lin Yi guessed again.

"It's still not enough." Lu Shaohua shook his head again.

"Five billion dollars?" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and guessed again, then he looked helpless and muttered to himself. "This is the maximum amount I can guess.

"Fifty billion US dollars." Lu Shaohua was not in the mood to play with Lin Yi anymore, so he just reported the amount.

"What? Five hundred billion dollars? Are you sure..." Lin Yi realized that he had said the wrong thing halfway through his words. He wanted to say, "Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?"

What kind of person is Lu Shaohua? Moreover, he has always had a reputation for being a man of his word. How could he possibly lie?

However, the figure of 50 billion US dollars was too much of a shock to Lin Yi. It was such a huge sum that he really didn't dare to think about it, and he had never thought about operating such a large amount of funds.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that Lu Shaohua will really give him 50 billion US dollars for him to operate.

What also makes Lin Yi happy is that the target this time is the Morgan Consortium, which is a powerful group. Think about why the Hong Kong stock market fell so badly during the Asian financial crisis in 1997. It was entirely because of the Morgan Consortium's crazy selling of Hong Kong stocks.

It can be said that the Morgan Consortium has become the enemy of Hong Kong people, but Lin Yi is a native Hong Konger. He also participated in the battle to defend the Hong Kong stock market in 1997. Naturally, he hates the Morgan Consortium.

Now, Lu Shaohua has given him a chance to take revenge. How can Lin Yi not be happy?

"I will ensure that the mission is completed." Lin Yi finally reacted and quickly assured Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua smiled. He thought Lin Yi was quite cute. "Try hard and get familiar with it first. When the time is right, I will inform you. At the same time, I will also hand over 500 billion US dollars to you."

"hey-hey……"

Lin Yi smiled foolishly.

"Okay, let's get back to work. Remember, in addition to the task I assigned to you, you have another task, which is to keep a close eye on the Hong Kong stock market." Lu Shaohua couldn't help but give one more reminder in the end.

"I know." Lin Yi nodded. It was obvious that he had calmed down at this moment and spoke calmly.

"Ah."

Lu Shaohua nodded, turned around and left without saying anything more.

……

After leaving Phoenix Financial, Lu Shaohua did not go home. Instead, he went upstairs to his office and took a look. After finding that nothing was wrong, Lu Shaohua went home.

As soon as he got home, Lu Shaohua dived into the network to check.

Both pieces of intelligence are about the financial market. It seems that the US government has realized that the crisis is approaching, and the financial sector is working quickly to try to plug the loopholes.

In response, Lu Shaohua smiled. This loophole was too big and it was impossible for the United States to plug it. So, after taking a look, Lu Shaohua directly deleted the information, turned off the computer, then sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked it.

Don’t think that Lu Shaohua smokes because he is bored. In fact, Lu Shaohua is adjusting his mentality and calming his brain before doing the next thing.

It has been two days since Li Zhijie went to Libya. Although two days is not a long time, it is definitely not a short time. There should be news by now. As for what the news is, Lu Shaohua doesn't know. He will know everything after he calls Li Zhijie.

So, Lu Shaohua called Li Zhijie to ask about the situation over there.
