Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1: Blocking the British Pound ()

More than seven months passed in the blink of an eye. Yes, more than seven months passed, which was very important to Lu Shaohua, a man for whom time was money. So when he saw the calendar turned to mid-August, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but feel excited and his blood boiled. He knew that it would not be long before he had income again, and it would be a considerable amount.

I stepped carelessly on the grass outside the villa, holding a glass of twenty-year-old red wine in my hand, looking up at the sky with a smile on my face. Today's weather is cloudy, with dark clouds all over the sky. There are flashes of lightning from time to time in the deep clouds, but there are only lightning and no thunder.

He took a long breath and drank the remaining half glass of red wine. He turned around and walked into the villa without looking back, as if he had lost the intention to watch the changes in the sky.

After returning to the villa, Lu Shaohua put down the wine glass in his hand and walked to the table where the phone was placed. He dialed a familiar number and said simply, "Come to my villa." Then he hung up.

The sky outside was gradually getting darker. It was obvious that a heavy rain was coming. There was silence all around, just like the calm before a storm. Yes! A storm was coming, and it was not just an ordinary storm.

The weather is changeable. Today the sun is shining and the weather is unusually clear. Tomorrow it will be covered with dark clouds, lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain. Nothing can be stopped by human power. The same is true in reality. A financial storm is brewing and Lu Shaohua cannot stop it.

But even if he knew that a financial storm was brewing, with Lu Shaohua's character, would he stop it? It was impossible to think about it. He would like to create a few more financial storms and stock market crises so that his wealth could roll in.

Anyone who has noticed Lu Shaohua knows that Lu Shaohua made his fortune during the stock market crash, which was the global stock market crash in 87 known as the "Black Monday". He made a profit of more than 89 million US dollars with a principal of one million US dollars. After that, he became even crazier. In the Japanese stock market crash in , he raised money and took out a large amount of cash. He invested more than billion US dollars in the stock market. After one round, it became more than billion, a full tenfold increase. In the last round, the billion nearly tripled, and he made back more than billion US dollars.

Therefore, it can be said that Lu Shaohua's fortune was made entirely by the stock market, and it was a bit like making money in distress, but Lu Shaohua didn't mind. He believed that no Chinese would mind, because during the two stock market crashes, Lu Shaohua was making money from the Japanese. In his opinion, he was implementing the "modernized three-level policy."

After watching TV leisurely for nearly half an hour, the sound of a car braking was finally heard outside. Lu Shaohua picked up the remote control to turn off the TV and waited for someone to come.

"Come on, sit down first." Lu Shaohua came over, glanced at the man, and said lightly.

"Oh! What a horrible weather! It rains as soon as it says it's going to rain, without any warning at all." Liu Mingzhang complained.

Yes, the person who came was Liu Mingzhang, the person Lu Shaohua called.

"Do you want to drink?" Lu Shaohua asked, ignoring Liu Mingzhang's complaints.

"I don't want to drink anymore." Liu Mingzhang stopped talking.

"What? Are you afraid that your wife won't let you go to bed?" Lu Shaohua said jokingly.

"Tsk, I'm henpecked?" Liu Mingzhang had originally intended to brag in front of Lu Shaohua, but when he met Lu Shaohua's malicious gaze, he immediately became miserable and his voice became smaller and smaller. "What a joke."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. He was amused by Liu Mingzhang. Since Liu Mingzhang got married, he let his wife take care of everything. This was a well-known fact. I didn't expect him to dare to brag here today. It really proved the saying 'to save face'. "Do you want me to call my sister-in-law and tell her everything you said just now?"

"No, no, I'm afraid of you, isn't that enough?" Liu Mingzhang raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and did not forget to complain. "Hey, why didn't I realize that she was a shrew?"

"..." Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes. Thousands of men in the world say that marriage is the grave of love. Lu Shaohua doesn't believe that Liu Mingzhang has never heard of this sentence, but he still resolutely chose to get married. Who can be blamed for this! "Okay, okay, if you want to complain, go home and don't come to me to vent. I called you here today for something serious."

After a small episode, Lu Shaohua was ready to get down to business. If he continued to talk endlessly with Liu Mingzhang, there was no telling when it would end.

"Haha!" Liu Mingzhang laughed, as if I had guessed it a long time ago, and then asked impatiently. "Come on, what's the matter?"

Lu Shaohua glared at Liu Mingzhang unhappily, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I remember asking you to learn more about financial knowledge in the UK last year, right? How are you doing now?"

"Yes, that's true. I'm still learning." Liu Mingzhang added, "I learned most of it by the end of last year. I have no problem with it. I'm familiarizing myself with the knowledge in Singapore now."

After saying this, Liu Mingzhang seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he just couldn't remember what it was.

"Wait, Britain?" Liu Mingzhang recalled Lu Shaohua's words in his heart, and finally he grasped the key point. "Britain? Could it be..."

Just when Lu Shaohua asked him to learn financial knowledge in the UK, Liu Mingzhang realized that Lu Shaohua had taken action. However, as time passed, Lu Shaohua did not take any action, and Liu Mingzhang gradually forgot about this matter. Now, Lu Shaohua brought up the old matter again, and with Liu Mingzhang's intelligence, he naturally guessed what Lu Shaohua meant.

"Are we going to take action against Britain?" Liu Mingzhang asked expectantly.

Lu Shaohua did not deny it, but nodded. He did not answer him directly, but asked again, "Has Soros done anything recently?"

"No, I don't know what that old fox is up to. He struck once some time ago and then disappeared without a trace. If you didn't know him well, you would have thought he had retired." Liu Mingzhang said angrily.

It would be a lie to say that he was not angry. He led a secret force to follow Soros in the gold rush. Soros was like a vanguard, opening up the battlefield, and then waiting for Liu Mingzhang to easily enter and get a share of the cake. Now, the vanguard has disappeared, and Liu Mingzhang's men have no business to do, so naturally they are angry.

"Haha, it's better that he didn't move." Lu Shaohua ignored Liu Mingzhang's angry face and laughed instead.

"What? That old fox of his is playing tricks on a fool. He has the chance to make money but doesn't want to make it. Alas!" Liu Mingzhang seemed to want to vent all the anger that had accumulated in recent times on Soros.

"That's right, it's better that he didn't make any moves. If there were any big moves, would he still let others play tricks on him?" Lu Shaohua asked back.

"Oh?" Liu Mingzhang seemed to have come to his senses and said, "You mean he is planning something big?"

"Haha! I thought your brain was useless after you got married." Lu Shaohua brought up Liu Mingzhang's wife again and teased him, then waved his hand and said, "The current situation is just like the weather, there will always be a storm to replace the calm."

At this time Liu Mingzhang was fully awake and understood what Lu Shaohua meant, but he was more concerned about whether Lu Shaohua wanted him to take action, because he had been feeling bored for a while and had long wanted to do something big.

"Should we start taking action?" Liu Mingzhang asked the question that had been in his heart for more than a year.

Lu Shaohua nodded, and like a magician, he suddenly produced two pieces of paper full of words, threw them in front of Liu Mingzhang, and then said, "Take a look first."

Taking the paper, with excitement, he carefully opened the folded paper and read it carefully. At the top of the first page, there were a few large characters written in a flamboyant style - "Stop the British Pound".

After seeing the title, "Blocking the British Pound", Liu Mingzhang was startled. He glanced at Lu Shaohua and saw that the latter closed his eyes to rest. He then focused his mental energy and read the contents of the paper again...

The words on the paper were written by Lu Shaohua himself. Liu Mingzhang knew it, but he was also very surprised. The more he read, the more doubts he had in his mind grew. He secretly guessed how Lu Shaohua had analyzed the contents, because according to the content, the British pound would fall in the near future, and the fall would be very serious.

However, what really shocked Liu Mingzhang was not the fact that Lu Shaohua analyzed that the stock market would fall, but that Lu Shaohua wrote down the date and amount of the fall on the paper. For Liu Mingzhang, who had been in the financial field for many years, it was almost impossible to estimate the amount of the fall, but Lu Shaohua wrote down the amount of the fall and the time.

Thinking about it again, Liu Mingzhang seemed to sense something and immediately recalled the previous two stock market crashes. Suddenly, a ridiculous guess popped up in his mind. "Predicting the future?"

Liu Mingzhang had long witnessed the magical power of Lu Shaohua, but when he asked Lu Shaohua about it, Lu Shaohua always told him mysteriously that "the secret cannot be revealed", leaving Liu Mingzhang with no answer. In the end, he could only reluctantly give Lu Shaohua a prophetic answer to comfort himself.

After a long time, Liu Mingzhang finally finished reading the contents of the two sheets of paper with a complicated heart. After reading, Liu Mingzhang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and asked, "How confident are you about this result?"

Lu Shaohua did not answer Liu Mingzhang's question immediately, but asked in return, "When have you ever seen me make a mistake?"

Yes, it seems that Lu Shaohua has never made any mistake until now, especially in the stock market where one wrong move can lead to a complete loss. He has never made a mistake.

Lu Shaohua's question had already given Liu Mingzhang the answer, which was that it was almost right. Liu Mingzhang smiled bitterly, Shaohua was indeed not wrong, but he had to confirm it, because if the estimate (in Liu Mingzhang's mind it was Lu Shaohua's estimate) was wrong, then he might lose everything.
