Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 561: One Hundred Billion Dollars

Lu Shaohua didn't know what others were thinking, nor did he want to know. Anyway, he had done his best. As for whether others would participate or not, it was up to them to seize the opportunity to make a lot of money. If they did, Lu Shaohua could guarantee that they would make a lot of money. If they didn't participate, Lu Shaohua wouldn't say much. He could only say that they were not brave enough and did not dare to take risks and make such a big gamble.

However, on the next day, a secret meeting was held in the headquarters building of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, headed by Henry Fok and deputy director Li Ka-shing. Lu Shaohua did not attend the meeting, but other directors attended. Henry Fok also threw out the signal of the Asian financial danger that Lu Shaohua had mentioned, and also stated that it was up to them to choose whether to participate or not.

With such an opportunity, coupled with the fact that Phoenix Financial, founded by Lu Shaohua, has been thriving in recent years, everyone knows how powerful Phoenix Financial is, and from what Ho Ying-tung said, they drew another conclusion, that is, Lu Shaohua was present in every stock market disaster, financial crisis, and storm. Coupled with their usual trust in Lu Shaohua, everyone had their own plans.

It is worth mentioning that several directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are CEOs of Hong Kong's first-tier listed companies. They have been in the business world for many years and have the madness of gamblers in their blood. Needless to say, they are very courageous. So when Henry Fok and Li Ka-shing talked about this, they only hesitated for a moment and then quickly gave an answer.

"There's nothing to say. I believe Xiaohua. I trust his words 100. I will immediately mobilize funds and make a big gamble." Director Zhang is usually careless and looks unserious, but his personality makes him unusually bold. Combined with his understanding of Lu Shaohua during their time together, he was the first to express his attitude.

Once there is one, there will be two. Once one person expresses his opinion, a second person will do so. Finally, the remaining nine directors all expressed their opinions. They all chose to gamble. There was only one answer. They followed Lu Shaohua in the gamble and also stated that they would try their best to mobilize the maximum amount of funds.

After the meeting, when they went back to raise funds, Lu Shaohua also received a call from Ho Ying-tung. The content of the call was very simple, just to tell Lu Shaohua about the attitudes of the directors.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just smiled, said a few words of encouragement, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone with Ho Ying-Tong, Lu Shaohua did not stop there. He called Li Zhijie's office in Africa. In addition to instructing him to cooperate with the actions of the second prince of Saudi Arabia, he also specifically instructed him to do another task.

"Brother Zhijie, is the base short of funds now?" Lu Shaohua did not go straight to the point, but instead asked in a roundabout way about the situation at the base.

"What? Do you need funds?" Li Zhijie was quick to understand and did not continue with Lu Shaohua's topic. Instead, he asked Lu Shaohua.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded naturally while holding the receiver, and then asked, "Just tell me if the base is short of funds. I may need a large sum of money?"

"It's not tense, but it's both tense and not tense. If you want, you can transfer some funds, but the amount cannot be too large. If it is too large, it may affect the normal operation of the base and indirectly affect the research and development of the secret base project." Li Zhijie said seriously.

Having said that, Lu Shaohua felt that there was no need to beat around the bush. He hesitated for a moment and said into the phone, "I need $100 billion in funds. Well, it doesn't need to be too urgent. I'll need it in about half a year. Find a way to transfer $100 billion to me in half a year."

One hundred billion US dollars, what a concept! If there were outsiders present at this moment, they would probably not be able to bear the blow and faint on the ground. But in Lu Shaohua's mouth, one hundred billion US dollars was just a number, and it sounded like one or two dollars.

"Haha!" Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone laughed bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless. The Tiger Roar Base was rich, but they invested as much money as they earned. The entire base had a lot of expenses, and now Lu Shaohua asked for 100 billion US dollars, which made Li Zhijie feel powerless. "Xiaohua, you don't know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are until you become the head of the family. The base's expenses are huge, and adding research projects will require huge investments. If you want 30 or 40 billion, I can transfer it to you right away, but 100 billion US dollars is a bit difficult."

"..." Lu Shaohua was silent on the phone for a while. Li Zhijie was right. If you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are. But Lu Shaohua had no choice. There was not much money in Hong Kong, so he could only mobilize it from Africa. "I'm giving you six months. You just need to get me $100 billion in six months. Well, if necessary, you can stop some projects first. In less than seven months, I can get you $150 billion."

"Is there any big action?" Li Zhijie asked subconsciously.

Over the years, Lu Shaohua has made huge sums of money in the financial market. Li Zhijie, who is in charge of the intelligence network, knows it clearly and even knows how much money he has made each time. Now, when he hears that Lu Shaohua wants such a large sum of money, his intuition tells him that Lu Shaohua is going to start making money again, and this time will be different from before. It is probably a big operation among big operations, which can be described as a super big operation.

Li Zhijie was one of the people Lu Shaohua trusted the most, so there was no need for Lu Shaohua to hide this from him. He said in a deep voice, "Well, there was indeed an operation six months later, and it was at my doorstep."

"I understand. In half a year, I will transfer $100 billion over there." Li Zhijie knew that there was no need to say more about this matter. Besides, with half a year, it would not be a big problem to raise $100 billion by selling everything he had and negotiating a few more large arms orders.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua didn't say much, just one word, paused, and then changed the subject and asked, "How is your personal problem going?"

"Haha!" Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone smiled awkwardly, and after a while he said embarrassedly, "It's done. When their family heard that I was one of the leaders of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, they agreed without hesitation. Well, it's estimated that the result will be in the beginning of next year, and the wedding will be held in Europe."

"Congratulations!" Lu Shaohua was happy for Li Zhijie, smiled, and said, "I will attend then."

"Thank you!" Li Zhijie said sincerely, and then he was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and then he suddenly asked, "Xiaohua, the big operation you just mentioned happened at your doorstep. Is it in Asia, and the opponents are those people on Wall Street?"

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua was obviously stunned, thought for a moment, and said without hiding anything. "Yes, the opponents are those people on Wall Street, um, led by Soros."

"My wife's family seems to be involved in this. They own a financial company on Wall Street. The CEO of that company has been getting together with Soros and others for secret meetings recently. I suspect they are planning to target Asia." Li Zhijie's words contained a hint of speculation and certainty, which was quite contradictory.

"Is that so?" Lu Shaohua frowned as he held the receiver, then gloated. "They are sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. I have already pulled the bag over here. If they dare to come, they will just get into my pocket. They won't get much benefit, but will get into trouble."

According to Lu Shaohua's memory, after the Asian financial crisis, Asian countries listed Soros as the most unwelcome target. They wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh. At the same time, those who participated in the crisis were also full of hatred. It would be a disaster for them.

"..." Hearing Lu Shaohua's gloating words, Li Zhijie felt helpless and in a dilemma. He wanted to consider his wife's family and ask them not to get involved, but he was afraid that he could not convince them, because Li Zhijie knew that he could not betray Lu Shaohua and directly tell their family that Lu Shaohua had been waiting for them at the mouth of the bag. He could only remind them indirectly, but this kind of thing could not make them withdraw with just a few words. He sighed softly and muttered. "Hey, help or not?"

Although Li Zhijie's muttering was low, Lu Shaohua's hearing was abnormal, so the whole sentence fell into Lu Shaohua's ears clearly. He smiled softly, prepared to tease Li Zhijie, and said, "Why should I help? Just let them go."

"Oh! I am too kind-hearted. It is not my character to watch someone in danger without helping." Li Zhijie said righteously.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Shaohua, who was holding the receiver, laughed out loud and almost fell to the ground. Li Zhijie was really too funny. His words sounded sour, with a hint of guilty conscience. Coupled with the righteous tone, it sounded awkward no matter how you listened to it.

After a long while, Lu Shaohua stopped laughing and said seriously, "Tell them to back off and not get involved. But don't make it too obvious. Don't tell the whole story to others, which will affect the plan here. As for whether they listen or not, it's up to fate. When the time comes, I will remind them to stop for your sake. I won't let them suffer any losses. At most, they will bear a bad reputation and be hated by Asian countries."

Lu Shaohua said this with a purpose. According to his memory, financial speculators led by Soros headed for Hong Kong after traveling around Asia and made Hong Kong their last target. But Hong Kong is different now. With Lu Shaohua here, and Lu Shaohua will protect Hong Kong's financial market, and with the help of other countries, coming to Hong Kong to stir up trouble is no different from seeking death.

"Is that so? Then I will try my best. If they don't listen, there is nothing I can do. It's not a bad thing to let them cut a root. Otherwise, I will always act like I am the best, which will make people feel sick." Li Zhijie's contradiction was resolved and he said viciously.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua knew that Li Zhijie seemed to dislike his wife's family. He smiled and did not say anything else, but changed the subject. "Okay, just do your best. What you should do now is to mobilize funds. This matter cannot be delayed."

"Don't worry, I'll get it done."
