Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 469: Profits from the Financial Crisis

Liu Mingzhang and his team returned to Hong Kong, which meant that the Mexican financial crisis had finally come to an end, and this result was exactly what Lu Shaohua was concerned about. Lu Shaohua then rushed to the Phoenix Building without stopping, wanting to get the result as soon as possible.

In the office on the top floor of Phoenix Building.

Lu Shaohua sat in the boss chair, while Liu Mingzhang, Li Zongen, Li Yunqing and the old man surnamed Feng sat on the sofa not far in front. The group of people sat quietly, and no one spoke. It was not that they didn't want to talk, but they were afraid of disturbing Lu Shaohua, because Lu Shaohua was looking at the data report handed over by Liu Mingzhang.

As in the past, Liu Mingzhang would compile a data report after each session. This time was no exception. He made a data report at the end of every month, as well as a report for each major operation. Finally, he made a total, which was also the final statistics after the end.

The office was silent, with the occasional sound of breathing and drinking water, and the sound of flipping papers. Lu Shaohua's face was calm and expressionless, his eyes focused on the contents of the paper, but he only glanced at it and did not read it in detail.

The entire financial crisis lasted for half a year, and the report was at least dozens of pages long. If Lu Shaohua read every page carefully, he would not be able to finish it in half a day. In order to save time, Lu Shaohua could only avoid the trivial and focus on the important.

Even so, Lu Shaohua spent nearly half an hour reading the previous report. He turned to the last page, which was the final summary, and stopped only then. He forced himself to concentrate and read it carefully.

"876 billion US dollars." This was the most eye-catching number Lu Shaohua saw, and this number was also the final result.

Yes, the final result is 876 billion US dollars, but this number is rounded off and the decimals are omitted. Otherwise, the long decimals would have given Lu Shaohua a headache.

Looking up, Lu Shaohua's eyes swept over Li Zongen and Liu Mingzhang, and his expression could not hide his joy. He asked, "Eight hundred and seventy-six billion?"

"Yes." Liu Mingzhang nodded, with a proud look on his face.

The principal of 1.4 billion US dollars went through a circle in Mexico, and after returning it turned into more than 1.5 billion US dollars, of which billion was profit, with a multiple of times, nearly times. How could Lu Shaohua not be happy?

But then again, compared to the stock market crash in Japan that year, this multiple is much smaller, but this does not affect Lu Shaohua's mood. The financial crisis in Mexico cannot be compared with the stock market crash in Japan at all, but in terms of level and decline, they are not on the same level.

Another thing is the losses caused. The total losses of the Mexican financial crisis only reached a few hundred million US dollars, while the losses of the Japanese stock market crash reached more than 2 trillion US dollars. The difference is huge.

The reason why Lu Shaohua was satisfied with this figure was that the figure of 87.6 billion US dollars accounted for a quarter of the total losses. In other words, a quarter of the total losses of Mexico in this financial crisis flowed into Lu Shaohua's pocket.

One quarter? Such a huge proportion! What else could Lu Shaohua be dissatisfied with?

"Very good results." Lu Shaohua said with some emotion. Then he asked, "What are the basic numbers for the two items?"

Although the data gave a detailed introduction to the numbers, Lu Shaohua only took a cursory look at it at first and did not look at it in detail. Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen had to report to him first.

Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen did not let Young Master Lu wait any longer. They looked at each other, and then Li Zongen spoke first. "I am in charge of the exchange rate. The exchange rate speculation ended early, and the results came out early. The final result is 30.6 billion US dollars. Well, it is rounded off, and there is a little decimal point at the end."

Li Zongen originally followed Liu Mingzhang to speculate on exchange rates, but when it came to the stock market later, they parted ways. They were responsible for one another until the exchange rate was resolved. Only then did Li Zongen bring his own people to join Liu Mingzhang to speculate on the stock market together.

Lu Shaohua nodded and turned his gaze to Liu Mingzhang. The meaning was self-evident, as if he was saying to Liu Mingzhang: "It's your turn."

Liu Mingzhang knew it was his turn, so he pretended to cough twice, cleared his throat, and then spoke. "The income from the stock market is 57 billion US dollars. This is the final result. Well, it is also rounded."

In fact, when Li Zongen mentioned 30.6 billion US dollars, Lu Shaohua had already come to the conclusion of Liu Mingzhang's side, but Lu Shaohua still let Liu Mingzhang say it in person to make it more realistic.

It is true that Lu Shaohua's current net worth has reached hundreds of billions of dollars, but from a certain perspective, he still thinks it is unreal. Now that a financial crisis has brought him an income of 87.6 billion US dollars, Lu Shaohua feels even more illusory.

Who would believe a figure of 87.6 billion US dollars earned in more than half a year? Most people would not believe it, even the owner of the money, Lu Shaohua. He did not believe it and felt it was unreal to some extent, but the facts were before him. Lu Shaohua could only let Li Zongen and Liu Mingzhang report the figures in person to make it more realistic.

Recalling his past life, Lu Shaohua had worked away from home for more than ten years, and his bank deposit was always ten yuan, and it was the bank teller who asked him to deposit it. Ten yuan, and now, after being reborn, he has hundreds of billions, and they are US dollars. Lu Shaohua feels a little unreal all the time, but it is often the fact, and Lu Shaohua can only force himself not to think too much.

However, this time the financial crisis, the earnings figures have aroused the sense of illusion in Lu Shaohua's subconscious mind. The only way is to add a little sense of reality.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. After he calmed down, Lu Shaohua turned his gaze to the old man surnamed Feng and asked with a smile, "Mr. Feng, is it okay for you to come this time?"

The country mobilized 5 billion US dollars to participate. Originally, Lu Shaohua didn't want to know how much money was earned in the end, but curiosity got the better of him and he couldn't help but ask.

"More than 18 billion US dollars." The old man surnamed Feng reported a number. While reporting the number, his eyes sparkled with excitement and he looked very happy.

At the same time, it is difficult to hide his respect for Lu Shaohua. Yes, through this incident, the old man surnamed Feng completely trusted Lu Shaohua, who could be said to be the youngest major general in the country. Of course, his trust also included gratitude. He thanked Lu Shaohua for taking them to Mexico to fight. This was not a thank you in his official capacity, but a thank you in his private capacity.

As a financier, what they desire is to add a rich touch to their life and add glory to it during their lifetime. Lu Shaohua gave him the opportunity, and after this financial crisis, the old man surnamed Feng has added something worthy of his glory to his life.

When he was old, he could tell his friends and relatives without any concealment that he fought the financial crisis of 1994 with billion US dollars and finally achieved considerable results, expanding the billion US dollars by three times.

Yes, it is three times as much, which is half more than Lu Shaohua’s 1.5 times. It may seem a little confusing, but this is for others. For Lu Shaohua, he knows exactly why this is the case.

The country's 5 billion US dollars were also used to speculate in exchange rates and stock markets. After the exchange rate war, the initial 5 billion US dollars doubled to more than 8 billion US dollars. The more than 8 billion US dollars were all invested in the stock market, earning more than 10 billion, which together became more than 10 billion.

"Well, it's very good." Lu Shaohua said with a smile, and then added, "Mr. Feng can also report to the higher-ups now."

"Haha!" The old man surnamed Feng laughed and said, "It's more than just a passing grade. It should be considered a very good report card."

Come to think of it, 5 billion suddenly became more than 18 billion, a three-fold increase, which can be considered a very impressive report card.

Lu Shaohua smiled, but didn't continue the topic. He changed the subject and asked, "Have you arranged the follow-up matters?"

There were four other team members who went with the old man surnamed Feng, but now only the old man surnamed Feng came here. So where did the other four go?

"It has been arranged. They can rest for a while down there. We will return home soon." The old man surnamed Feng smiled and said.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he turned his gaze to Li Yunqing and said, "Yunqing, please arrange a few cars to take Mr. Feng and the others over."

"Okay." Li Yunqing said as he stood up and prepared to get ready.

When Li Yunqing stood up, the old man surnamed Feng also stood up and said, "General Lu, I will go down with General Li and return to my country as well."

"Well, be careful on your journey." Lu Shaohua nodded and said lightly as a farewell.

Li Yunqing left, and the old man surnamed Feng also left. Lu Shaohua hesitated for a moment, then recovered and thought for a while before saying, "The financial crisis is over, and the funding problem in the group has been solved. Next, it's time to redeploy."

All along, Li Zongen directed the offshore company to travel between countries, while Liu Mingzhang followed Soros to fight guerrilla warfare. They each had their own tasks, but that was for the past. Now Lu Shaohua wanted to change and not follow the previous model. He had to change and make adjustments, and before that he had to re-arrange the plan. At the same time, Lu Shaohua was also preparing for the future and planning what would happen in the future...
