Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 7 Financial Crisis ()

The battle horn sounded, the battle really started, everything that Lu Shaohua had planned many years ago began to be implemented, for Lu Shaohua, it was so touching. Yes, Lu Shaohua was a reborn person, he was reborn, and his initial dream was to build an economic empire, and if you want to build an economic empire, you must have a lot of money to build the economic empire.

In business, everything is cyclical, but for Lu Shaohua, it does not constitute a cycle. The reason is that Lu Shaohua wants to speed up the pace. If he follows the normal plan, Lu Shaohua does not need to make money in the financial market, allowing Phoenix Group to develop on its own and build an economic empire.

But Lu Shaohua didn't want to do that. He didn't want to walk like a tortoise, taking one step and stopping another. That was too slow, and he might not be able to build the economic empire of his dreams by the time his hair turned gray. So he had to speed up.

But it is not easy to speed up the pace. To speed up the pace, a large amount of capital investment is needed. The money earned by Phoenix Group every year is not proportional to the investment. Lu Shaohua can only rely on his memory to make money in the financial market.

Of course, if you have the money, you would be stupid not to make it. But Lu Shaohua is not stupid. How could he give up a business like this where he could make a lot of money with just a little effort? On the one hand, it would increase his wealth, and on the other hand, it would speed up the building of his economic empire. It's the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

After all, everything Lu Shaohua did was for his dream, his dream of an economic empire. Of course, in addition to making money in the financial market, Lu Shaohua also had another purpose, which was his oil plan.

Lu Shaohua is basically satisfied with the implementation of the current oil plan. However, letting the Tiger Roar Base operate on its own, selling arms and buying oil fields will eventually reach a bottleneck, and money will be needed at that time. As time goes by and the 21st century is approaching, the oil plan will have to speed up, and a large amount of funds will be needed.

In a word, it’s just one word - money. Lu Shaohua needs money, a lot of money to invest so that his plan can be accelerated and shortened.

So, when Li Yunqing gave the order to start, Lu Shaohua was filled with emotion. This would mean the beginning of making money. With the decline of the currency and stock markets, Lu Shaohua's wealth would increase, and the distance to Lu Shaohua's dream would be shortened.

However, before they knew it, a day had passed and the operation on July 7 was over. All the data was displayed at this moment. Li Yunqing got the data at the first time and came to Lu Shaohua to prepare for the report.

"The data is out. The decline in other countries is not obvious. They fell a few points more than normal." After speaking, Li Yunqing paused and continued. "As for the Thai baht, it is similar to the data you gave. It fell by 17.79%, close to 18%. The stock market also fell a lot, but it will take more than half an hour to list the specific figures."

"17.79%?" Lu Shaohua frowned. The number he gave was 17%. Of course, these numbers were what Lu Shaohua saw on the Internet in his previous life. As for the exact number, it was not accurate. Lu Shaohua could not be sure, but 17.79% was obviously not that much higher than expected. It was still within a reasonable range. "It's about the same as expected. It's normal. As for the stock market, you don't need to tell me. When it reaches the amount I expected, you can take action in advance. I won't interfere."

When Lu Shaohua gave Li Yunqing and others the data, he only gave them the decline of the Thai baht and the stock market, the data for each period and the overall data. Even if Lu Shaohua did not give orders at that time, Li Yunqing and others would operate according to the overall data given by Lu Shaohua, and it would not affect the plan. Therefore, Lu Shaohua did not need to ask any questions at all.

Of course, so far, Lu Shaohua has only given the data for Thailand. Lu Shaohua has not given the data for other countries. It is not that Lu Shaohua does not want to give it, but that Lu Shaohua does not want to give it so quickly. Everything must be done step by step. Besides, Lu Shaohua should give the data slowly so as not to arouse suspicion from Li Yunqing and others.

It is true that Lu Shaohua was reborn with his memories, but that was his biggest secret. Even his family did not know it. The only person who knew it was his woman, Qin Sichen. Lu Shaohua told Qin Sichen the secret out of helplessness at the time. As for others, Lu Shaohua did not intend to tell them.

Secret, Lu Shaohua wanted to make the secret of his rebirth a permanent secret, and the number of people who knew it would not be expanded, and it would only be known to himself and Qin Sichen. In order to prevent Li Yunqing and the others from suspecting, Lu Shaohua could only adopt this method of squeezing toothpaste and giving them the data bit by bit.

"Okay, we will sort out the daily data and give you the summary when the time comes." Li Yunqing said lightly, and then asked again. "Today is just the beginning. If there are no accidents, the next step will be even more intense. I predict that several nearby countries will fall in the next few days. Should we take the second step?"

It was true that Lu Shaohua had already made arrangements for Asia, but the arrangements were only in the initial stage. Only a part of the 100 billion US dollars transferred from Africa was used. This part of the funds was used as funds for the second war and was only aimed at three countries, namely the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.

As for the remaining part of the funds, they will be used as funds for the second war, and the countries they are targeting are Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Russia. Yes, Russia is also included in them. Originally, the Asian financial crisis had nothing to do with Russia. After all, Russia is not an Asian country. However, according to Lu Shaohua's memory, Russia will also be affected by this unprecedented financial crisis, and Lu Shaohua does not intend to let it go.

Now that the fuse of the financial crisis has been lit, it can be said that it is proceeding according to the route designed by Lu Shaohua. This also means that the plan proposed by Lu Shaohua is correct, and it is time for the second round of funds to enter the market. Therefore, Li Yunqing asked this question.

"Go ahead." Lu Shaohua nodded and gave the order, but he still felt a little uneasy and emphasized it again. "Pay special attention to the Japanese yen and the Taiwan dollar."

According to his memory, Lu Shaohua knew that by the end of 1997, the final data of this financial crisis were: the Korean won fell by 2.71%, the Taiwan dollar fell by 2.8%, and the Japanese yen fell by 4.86%. Among these three countries, the Japanese yen had the largest decline, followed by the Taiwan dollar. Of course, Lu Shaohua had to pick the softer ones.

"Yeah!" Li Yunqing nodded, then frowned again, paused for a few seconds, and said with some embarrassment. "According to the plan we made, the focus is on the Japanese yen and the Korean won. Now if we want to add a Taiwan dollar... well, if we add a Taiwan dollar, it's not a problem. We can withdraw funds to make up for it later!"

All capital investment allocations were finalized more than a month ago, so they can all be fixed. However, even so, there is still some liquid funds, although a little bit small, but it is not impossible to add some to the Taiwan dollar.

At the same time, there is another way, which is to overturn the original plan and change it again, but that is too troublesome. If something goes wrong, it will affect the overall plan. This is why Li Yunqing frowned. Yes, he is in a dilemma.

Lu Shaohua seemed to see Li Yunqing's dilemma. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the sharp decline of the Taiwan dollar began in late October, when international speculators led by Soros pointed their spearheads at Hong Kong. By that time, the battle in Thailand had long ended and a lot of funds had been withdrawn. If the operation on the Taiwan dollar was increased, it would not affect anything.

"Just do as you say." Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "I will have the third batch of funds by then, and the amount will be large. You don't have to worry. Now just follow the original plan. Nothing else will work."

According to the plan designed by Lu Shaohua, the Asian financial crisis was divided into four steps. The first step was the preparation for the first phase, which was when Liu Mingzhang was sent to monitor the situation in Asian countries. Not much money was invested.

The second step was yesterday, July 7, the day of Hong Kong's return. Lu Shaohua arranged for all the funds to enter the market. This was the second step. There were also several countries that belonged to the second step but had not yet been arranged. These were the funds that Li Yunqing had just asked Lu Shaohua whether to enter the market.

As for the third part, Lu Shaohua's plan is to wait until the situation in Thailand is over, and then recover all the funds and invest them into the battle. This is the third part. The last part is much simpler and clearer. The ending is always the moment of decisive battle, which is the Indonesian financial crisis in 1998. At that time, Lu Shaohua will invest all the funds and make a final struggle.

"Okay, if that's the case, I can arrange it with peace of mind." Li Yunqing was obviously relieved and said with a smile.

Yes, if Lu Shaohua ordered them to change the plan now, Li Yunqing and the others would have to change it as well. If that were the case, Li Yunqing and the others would be in trouble and would have to be busy again.

"There's no need to be so tight on time. We have plenty of time. It won't be a problem even if we're delayed for a few days." Lu Shaohua also smiled and said this.

The collapse of the Thai baht did have an impact and caused a huge shock, but it only affected a few neighboring countries. As for Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, which are relatively far away, the impact became smaller. There was a decline, but no crash. There would not be much problem in bringing funds into the market after a while, and the time rhythm does not need to be too tight.

"I understand." Li Yunqing nodded, then scratched his head and said, "But I still want to follow the original plan and put the funds into the market tomorrow to prevent any accidents."

Lu Shaohua didn't rush to speak, he stood up from the sofa, smiled at Li Yunqing, and said lightly, "You are the commander-in-chief of this operation."
