Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 611: On the Eve of the Storm (Part 2)

There is no doubt that what Lu Shaohua was talking about was 100 billion US dollars. This was the final sum of funds. As for the source of the funds, Liu Mingzhang and others didn't know and couldn't figure it out. The reason was very simple. The last time Lu Shaohua had transferred 30 billion US dollars to participate in the Mexican financial crisis, it only took a few days to mobilize 30 billion US dollars. It is not impossible to transfer 1,000 US dollars now.

What surprised Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues was that the funds were so huge. After all, 200 billion US dollars could enable Phoenix Group to move up a few places in the world rankings, but the current 200 billion US dollars was used by Lu Shaohua to fight the Asian financial crisis.

At the same time, Liu Mingzhang and his team finally understood Lu Shaohua's determination and how big Lu Shaohua's "big fight" was. Another thing was the money earned. According to the usual ratio, the money earned after the Asian financial crisis would probably exceed one trillion US dollars.

The financial market, especially when a financial crisis breaks out, is definitely a good time to make money, and huge profits at that. If operated properly, it is entirely possible to increase the principal tenfold or even a hundredfold. This time, Lu Shaohua invested several times more money than before, so it is understandable that he wants to make more money.

A Japanese stock market crash made Lu Shaohua earn more than 420 billion US dollars. The investment at that time was more than 18 billion US dollars, which has increased more than 20 times. Now, the investment alone is 200 billion US dollars. If it increases another 20 times, it will be 4 trillion US dollars.

Of course, nothing is comparable. Japan's economic bubble was so big that when the stock market fell, the losses were even greater. As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Even after many years, the economies of other Asian countries cannot be compared with those of Japan. Therefore, no matter how much Lu Shaohua invests, it is impossible for it to increase more than 20 times like Japan did.

How much they can earn is still an unknown. Before the results come out, Liu Mingzhang and his team dare not confirm it. The only thing that Liu Mingzhang and his team are sure of is that the final number will definitely surprise them.

"You haven't heard that I will transfer an extra 100 billion US dollars during this period. How to use it is up to you. I won't interfere." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. "Of course, I have one request, which is to maximize the funds as much as possible. As for how to maximize it, you have to rely on your brains to calculate. I am only responsible for giving you specific numbers."

"That's no problem." Li Yunqing made a promise to Lu Shaohua on behalf of Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen. They were absolutely confident that they could maximize the funds. After all, they were not called financial geniuses for nothing. However, Li Yunqing still felt that this promise was not enough, so he added, "Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. We three who have been in the financial market for many years don't believe that we can't grasp this operation."

"That's right." Liu Mingzhang was the first to jump out and support Li Yunqing's statement.

"I will try my best." Li Zongen was relatively conservative and only said that he would try his best.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua smiled with satisfaction. This was what he wanted. He wanted the fighting spirit of Liu Mingzhang and the other three. Now it seemed that their fighting spirit was good and they were very confident. "I will give you the specific data little by little, but not too quickly. After all, I am a human, not a god. I need to think about it before I can give you the specific data."

According to past practice, Lu Shaohua would give them some data for reference. This time, Lu Shaohua will definitely give them the data in his memory. To put it bluntly, he will give them the number that will rise to that point, so that they can have a bottom line in their hearts and sell it when it is about to reach that point.

But this time is really different from the past. All Asian countries are affected, and there are nearly ten countries in total. It is not easy for Lu Shaohua to sort out these data. It will take some time to sort it out.

"As long as you give us specific numbers, we can formulate an operation plan based on the numbers. We won't have to worry about making mistakes. There will be no problem in maximizing funds." Li Yunqing seemed confident.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and smiled, but did not continue the topic. He changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's talk about the order. According to my guess, Thailand will be the first country to be attacked, and the next ones should be Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. From a certain perspective, except that Thailand is the first to suffer, the other three countries are indistinguishable. We can imagine it ourselves. If the Thai baht falls very seriously, the surrounding countries will definitely be affected. In addition, Soros and his team have already made arrangements, and if they launch another attack, a collective plunge is inevitable."

At this point, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "So, whether it's the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupiah, or the Malaysian ringgit, they will definitely plummet at the same time, and what we have to do is to take the lead in speculating on the currencies of these three countries. As for the allocation of funds, it's up to you to decide. The amount I'm going to give is 100 billion US dollars."

"Also, I want to make it clear that anti-Chinese sentiment has been very severe in Indonesia over the years. We need to pay special attention to them and not let them get too arrogant. We Chinese are not pigs or dogs. We need to give them a good beating and bring them into an irretrievable situation." Lu Shaohua did not forget to add at the end.

Anti-Chinese sentiment in Indonesia has become very serious in recent years and has risen to a political level, attracting global attention. Lu Shaohua could not stand it, but what could he do? He was powerless and could only use this opportunity to avenge the Chinese and set Indonesia's economy back by decades.

"Don't worry, I've long been fed up with those Indonesian monkeys. When the time comes, I will personally supervise them and give them a good beating. Let's see if they dare to be arrogant again." Liu Mingzhang said viciously.

"Okay, let Mingzhang take charge. I don't care how it's done. I just want a result." Lu Shaohua nodded, very satisfied. Then, Lu Shaohua changed the subject again and said, "There is one more thing, that is about the participation of the directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the war. I asked them to gather funds a long time ago. When the time comes, they will also participate. The team they send out will be under our unified command. I can't do it alone. You will have to give orders on my behalf when the time comes."

Just as Lu Shaohua said, he is a human being, not a god. He cannot be present at everything in person. He can only let Li Yunqing and the other three give orders on his behalf. This way, they will not be harmed. Otherwise, Huo Yingdong and the others will scold Lu Shaohua to death.

"There's no problem with that. Just get all the communications right and keep them open. Just make a phone call and tell us what you need to do. There's no problem at all." Li Yunqing expressed his idea.

"No." Lu Shaohua shook his head and said, "The telephone is inconvenient and can only be used as a backup method of communication. This time we have to use network communication to communicate and give remote commands. Hmm, have you heard of QQ? It is an online communication software produced by our Phoenix Group. We will use it when the time comes. Find a few people who can type quickly to cooperate with it, and then it will issue orders."

Lu Shaohua finally thought about it and decided that using QQ for remote control command was definitely the first choice. By opening a dedicated channel and with Phoenix Yingke keeping the network unobstructed, there would be no problem in rapid command. The important thing was that the network was not that chaotic now, so there was no need to worry about hacker intrusion, so it was still safe.

Liu Mingzhang thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good. It's very convenient to use the Internet for remote control. I don't need to make dozens of calls at once, which can save a lot of time. Well, speaking of QQ, I'm depressed. I applied for several numbers, but why don't I have a better number? Haha, after this financial crisis, you have to get me a good number."

"..." Lu Shaohua was somewhat speechless. With Liu Mingzhang's current position in Phoenix Group, it would be easy for him to get a fancy number. He could just call Ma Huateng and reveal his identity. Not to mention a fancy number, even a five-digit fancy number would be no problem. He shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "No problem, I'll give you an eight-digit fancy number when the time comes."

"Two. My wife also wants one." Liu Mingzhang simply asked for a huge amount.

In fact, Lu Shaohua didn't know that at that time, Lu Shaohua only allowed Ma Huateng to open a nine-digit QQ number directly, and no one with less than eight digits. In addition, the good numbers were kept and prepared to be sold for money, so even if Liu Mingzhang called to ask for it, he would not be able to get it.

It’s not like Liu Mingzhang hasn’t tried before. He also wanted a nice account. But Ma Huateng was very stubborn. He said, “The chairman said that those accounts are for selling.” He pushed Liu Mingzhang back without giving him any face at all.

Now that QQ was mentioned, Liu Mingzhang remembered this matter and asked Lu Shaohua for it. However, what Liu Mingzhang didn't expect was that there was an eight-digit QQ number, which he had never thought of. So he found an excuse and asked for one more.

"Okay, two is enough, let's talk about the preparations." Lu Shaohua glared at Liu Mingzhang in anger, as if to tell him that it was already so late and why he was still talking about these insignificant things. And Lu Shaohua's glare also had a certain effect. The latter shrank his head and stopped talking. Lu Shaohua continued. "In terms of preparations, Phoenix Computer will give the greatest support. How many computers are needed in a place and what equipment is needed, you can calculate it yourself, and then send the list to Shenzhen and ask them to get it over. Well, one thing I want to emphasize is that you must get a large screen. The commander-in-chief must have this thing, so that it will be more convenient when the time comes."

"Leave this matter to me." Li Zongen made a statement.

"I agree. Zong En is very meticulous in his work. It would be best to let him do this kind of thing." Li Yunqing, the commander-in-chief, also agreed.

"Yeah, I agree. Zong En is indeed more careful." Liu Mingzhang had to admit it.

"Of course, do you think everyone is as careless as you?" Lu Shaohua said unhappily, and glared at Liu Mingzhang, not missing the opportunity to attack Liu Mingzhang. Afterwards, Lu Shaohua thought for a while before asking, "What else is missing from the preliminary preparations? Tell us, and bring up everything that needs to be done, and we'll solve it all today."

No matter how smart Lu Shaohua is, he can't be a perfect person. There are always omissions when he thinks about things. So Lu Shaohua was afraid that some details were not arranged well, so he asked Liu Mingzhang and others to help think about it and then solve it together.
