Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 Financial Storm ()

Wait, Lu Shaohua is waiting for the right time, but Liu Mingzhang and the others cannot wait, they still have to do the final inspection, such as whether the network communication is normal, whether there are any errors in the team's fund allocation, and whether there are any mistakes in the team's tasks. These are all things they need to check one by one, otherwise if there are wrong links, it will destroy the entire plan, which is what Lu Shaohua does not want to see, and it is also what Li Yunqing and the others do not want to see.

A morning passed quietly, and by noon, everything had been inspected. Li Yunqing reported to Lu Shaohua on behalf of everyone. "The inspection is over. Everything is normal on our side. The contact with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is also normal. We have also given them a target and made arrangements. There is no problem at all. We can act at any time."

As the saying goes, they are ready to go. Everything is normal. What they are waiting for next is Lu Shaohua's words. With one order, all the teams will be put into action and rush madly to the financial markets of Thailand and neighboring countries to launch a massive invasion.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and responded lightly without any action. After a pause of several seconds, he stood up and said, "Let's go and have a good meal. You won't be so lucky in the next period of time."

Everyone laughed. They all knew what Lu Shaohua meant. It was simply that they didn't have time to go out for a good meal. They didn't refuse and followed Lu Shaohua, leaving the villa in the alley, which was also the headquarters of the Asian financial crisis.

Hong Kong's prosperity has gradually increased with the passage of time. In Kowloon Tong, both the commercial street and the catering industry are extremely developed, not to mention the transportation. It is no exaggeration to describe it as well-connected.

It is precisely because of its development that it has won the title of the Four Asian Tigers. Coincidentally, this prosperity has brought great convenience to Lu Shaohua and his party. When they get out of the car, they can find a four-star hotel in less than ten minutes.

What? Four stars? Too low?

No, Lu Shaohua was so poor that he only had money left. Even if he went into one of the few six-star hotels in the world, Lu Shaohua wouldn't even blink an eye. But how many six-star hotels were there in Hong Kong? Lu Shaohua had never heard of any of them, after all, it was only the late 1990s. There were a few five-star hotels, but Lu Shaohua thought they were too far away, so he just ate at a four-star hotel. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it.

Lu Shaohua and his group were already accustomed to delicious food, even a table worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was no problem for them. Dishes such as abalone, lobster and roasted suckling pig were a must-have at every meal.

Of course, Lu Shaohua still likes to eat roast suckling pig more, so when ordering, Lu Shaohua read this dish to the waiter first, then opened the menu and ordered a few more dishes, and left the rest to Liu Mingzhang and others to order.

Four-star hotels are considered to be relatively upscale hotels, at least in this day and age. And because they are considered upscale, their efficiency is very fast. The food will be served in less than twenty minutes after we have ordered.

"Eat and enjoy it." Lu Shaohua swept his eyes across everyone's faces, smiled and said.

"Don't be polite." Liu Mingzhang agreed, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He paused and said, "Hey, why does this tone sound a bit wrong to me? What do you mean by enjoy it? Why does this phrase sound like what the prison guards say when the death row prisoners are on the execution ground in the movie?"

"..." Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes at Liu Mingzhang, and then said, "This is not going to the execution ground, but to the battlefield."

"Yes, it's a battlefield. We are facing a war that has yet to end." Li Yunqing said in a heavy tone.

The financial war is indeed a war that never ends. It seems silent on the surface, but who knows how powerful it is? To put it bluntly, if it is not serious, the economy will shrink, but if it is serious, it will cause a country's economy to regress by ten or even twenty years.

Just like the stock market crash in Japan, Japan alone lost 2 trillion US dollars, and Japan's overall economy regressed for at least ten years. Ten years may seem short, but if you calculate carefully, if nothing was done and the momentum of development was maintained, the extra ten years would have been a lot.

It is undeniable that Li Yunqing's statement is correct. Both Lu Shaohua and Li Zongen nodded in agreement, indicating that they agreed with Li Yunqing's statement. It's just that this occasion is not suitable for such a statement. Lu Shaohua spoke out to stop them at this time. "Okay, don't talk about such a heavy topic. Eat well. Only after eating can you have the energy to work."

Eating is an innate ability of human beings. We can do it without being taught. We just move the chopsticks and put the food into our mouths. After going through several steps, we swallow it and the purpose of filling our stomachs is achieved.

In the afternoon, at the General Command Post, Lu Shaohua sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting without moving. People who didn't know him would have thought he had fallen asleep. However, while Lu Shaohua didn't move, his fingers kept tapping on the sofa in a very rhythmic manner, which was sufficient proof that he was not asleep.

Time passed by little by little, and soon, the time had come. Li Yunqing came to Lu Shaohua's side and said softly, "The time has come, the Thai stock market has opened."

Suddenly, Lu Shaohua opened his eyes. At that moment, Lu Shaohua's eyes seemed to be murderous. A bright light flashed across them, and a voice rang out in the hall. "Action begins."

Yes, when the Thai stock market opened in the afternoon, Lu Shaohua announced the start of the action. Lu Shaohua did not give the wrong order. The action started when the stock market opened in the afternoon of July 7st.

Some people may ask, since Lu Shaohua knew that the financial crisis would break out on July 7, why did it start in the afternoon of July 2?

There is no need to doubt that Lu Shaohua has his reasons for making such arrangements. If he does not enter the market earlier, when he enters late, it will become a problem whether he can enter at all. What's more, entering the market early and laying an ambush can allow Lu Shaohua to make more money.

Of course, this kind of early entry also has its own rules. It is not that you can enter the market as early as you want. If you enter the market too early, it will inevitably have a negative impact. Who can blame Lu Shaohua for having so much capital? It is precisely because of this that Lu Shaohua entered the market one day earlier and chose to enter in the afternoon instead of the morning.

As Lu Shaohua's order was issued, Li Yunqing and his men also started to move. The first order Li Yunqing issued was to Liu Mingzhang's wife, and the content of the order was also very simple. "Let the people below start to move."

At this moment, Liu Mingzhang's wife's role is just a messenger. Since she has financial knowledge and can type very fast, she was forced by Liu Mingzhang to serve as a soldier. At the same time, it is also for the purpose of making money.

The sound of keyboard tapping rang out, and when Liu Mingzhang's wife finally hit the Enter key, less than three seconds later, the speaker connected to the computer also sounded a message notification. There is no doubt that the message notification was the response of everyone below, and the message sent back was also very simple, with only two words - "Understood".

"The people below have already started the execution." Liu Mingzhang's wife's clear voice rang out, without the usual laughter, only seriousness.

Yes, what time is it now? You can't laugh in this kind of occasion. It involves a huge operation worth trillions of US dollars. Just hearing the numbers is terrifying. How dare Liu Mingzhang's wife laugh?

"Execute the order and keep a close eye on the trends of the Thai baht, Philippine peso, Indonesian rupiah and Malaysian ringgit." Li Yunqing also issued an order at this time, and then stared at the big screen himself, not daring to relax at all.

Now that funds have entered the market, we will soon be able to see what the results will be. Will the market fall due to the influx of a large amount of funds? We still need to wait for the market's reaction.

It was not known whether it was because of the careful planning of Li Yunqing and his team or for some other reason, but after twenty minutes after the action was launched, there was no reaction from the market at all. The funds invested were like a stone sinking into the sea. Only a "bang" was heard, and not even a ripple could be seen.

Come to think of it, Li Yunqing and the others had already learned from Lu Shaohua that the financial crisis would break out tomorrow, and no big storm could be created today, so they were very careful when planning, and the funds entered the market little by little, divided into multiple batches, and not too large a sum could enter.

It is also because of this that the market has not reacted much. After all, without knowing that a financial crisis would occur, countries were still behaving very positively, so it is understandable that there was no decline.

An hour passed and it was still very calm, as if nothing had happened, and there was no sign of a decline.

Yes, how could there be a decline? You should know that Li Yunqing and others had already made arrangements. They lay lurking after the funds entered the market, waiting for the moment of outbreak to cooperate with Soros and others to beat the fallen dog. Now lying lurking is the best way.

An hour and a half passed, and there was still no movement in the market...

However, behind the calm, who could have imagined that there was a ferocious beast staring at the fat meat that couldn't be fatter and tenderer...

Finally, the afternoon market closed, and the final closing point did not fluctuate much, which was very good. At the moment of closing, Li Yunqing came to Lu Shaohua again and said softly, "Mission accomplished, everything went well."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua smiled and said just one word, but everyone could see that Lu Shaohua was in a very good mood at the moment. This good mood meant that Lu Shaohua was very satisfied with the performance of Liu Mingzhang and the others.

Therefore, whether it was Li Yunqing, Liu Mingzhang, or Li Zongen, they all smiled brightly to show how excited they were.
