Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 8 Financial Crisis ()

Lu Shaohua left, taking Huo Xiaoyue with him. Huo Xiaoyue learned a lot today. Although it was only a short day and no operations were performed, Huo Xiaoyue learned something better and more useful than financial knowledge from Liu Mingzhang.

This is indeed the case. To fire a trader, especially a trader like Liu Mingzhang who becomes a commanding figure, in addition to being excellent in all aspects, he must also possess one more thing, which is calmness.

Huo Xiaoyue learned to stay calm today. From the beginning of the Thai baht's plunge until the end, no matter whether it was Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing, or Li Zongen, the expressions on their faces remained the same. No one was smiling, nor was they nervous. The only seriousness was caused by concentration.

In the financial market, whether it is falling or rising, you need to keep a calm mind. For example, if it rises, in the eyes of ordinary people, they will definitely be happy, even ecstatic, but what will happen after the ecstasy? There will be mistakes that may cause operations.

What if it falls? Many people will be nervous. Once they are nervous, they don’t know what to do. Without a calm and composed mind, they will also make operational mistakes. Therefore, a calm mind is a must.

Of course, the nature of Lu Shaohua and his team's operations today is different. They are speculating on declines, not falls. In other words, if the currency and stock markets fall, Lu Shaohua will make money. On the contrary, if they rise, Lu Shaohua will lose all his money.

The reason why the financial crisis is called a financial crisis is that it is a synonym for a sharp drop. If the market rises, it is called a daily limit, rather than the term financial crisis. As for Huo Xiaoyue, she had already known that Lu Shaohua and others were operating a financial crisis. Huo Xiaoyue certainly knew that Lu Shaohua and others were speculating on a drop in the market.

So, seeing the currency and stock market plummet, Huo Xiaoyue was happy for Lu Shaohua from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was also happy for her grandfather, because her grandfather Huo Yingdong also got involved. If the market fell, their family would also make money.

In the next few days, Lu Shaohua was different from usual. When he was in a good mood, he would go to the general command post to take a look, but if he was in a bad mood, he would stay at home and go nowhere, nor did he care about the problems in the financial market.

However, it was obviously impossible for Lu Shaohua not to care. There were news on TV every day, so naturally, Lu Shaohua also knew about the movements in the financial market. There was another thing, that is, Li Yunqing would call Lu Shaohua every day. The content of the call was also very simple, reporting the day's data to Lu Shaohua.

Although Lu Shaohua said that he didn't want to interfere with their operations and didn't want to care, and let them handle all matters, Lu Shaohua didn't say that Li Yunqing was not allowed to report the situation. So when Li Yunqing called to report, Lu Shaohua listened quietly without expressing his own opinion.

Of course, if Lu Shaohua had stayed at the general command post, Li Yunqing and others would not have called Lu Shaohua to report, but would have reported in person, and would have sorted out the data and reported to Lu Shaohua at the end of the day, which gave them a fresh-out-of-the-box feel.

In addition, there was a qualitative leap in the relationship between Lu Shaohua and Huo Xiaoyue. If there was such a leap, it was caused by what happened that night. There was already some interest between the two parties, but suddenly that layer of relationship was broken, just like a piece of silk paper was pierced, the obstacle no longer existed, and it was normal for the relationship to have a qualitative drop.

By now, Huo Xiaoyue has moved in with Lu Shaohua, which was also agreed by Huo Yingdong. Anyway, Huo Xiaoyue is on vacation now and doesn't have to go to class. By coming to Lu Shaohua's place, she can take the opportunity to learn from Liu Mingzhang and gain more experience.

As for the relationship between the two people, Ho Ying-tung did not ask much, but Lu Shaohua still smelled something from Ho Ying-tung's words, that is, Ho Ying-tung already knew that the two of them had a relationship, but he just didn't say it out loud, and everyone knew it tacitly.

It was still the same as before. Lu Shaohua and Huo Yingdong were still the same as before, like elders and juniors, or like friends. Nothing had changed. The only one who had changed was Lu Shaohua and Huo Xiaoyue. As for what had changed, besides the relationship, there was also the name.

In the past, Huo Xiaoyue called Lu Shaohua "Brother Xiaohua". Now, in front of others, she calls Lu Shaohua by his name - Xiaohua. If there is no one around and the two of them are together, she calls him "husband".

Lu Shaohua did not change, and always called Huo Xiaoyue "Xiaoyue", and occasionally called her "wife" in a more cheesy way. Of course, this situation was rare, and usually only happened when the two of them were talking intimately.

Lu Shaohua did not feel uncomfortable with this change. The only person he felt a little sorry for was Qin Sichen, the pregnant woman. Ever since he had a relationship with Huo Xiaoyue, Lu Shaohua wanted to accompany Qin Sichen, but Qin Sichen always drove him away and asked him to accompany Huo Xiaoyue.

This made Lu Shaohua feel very guilty. Seeing Huo Xiaoyue's belly getting bigger and bigger day by day, a pregnant woman who was already eight months pregnant also needed care. Even if she was not pregnant, as a woman, she also needed a man's care.

But Lu Shaohua had no choice but to let Qin Sichen drive him away, and his attitude was very firm. Sometimes he even threatened him, leaving Lu Shaohua speechless and he could only silently do what Qin Sichen said.

……

Time passed day by day, and soon a month had passed. It was the new January, August had arrived, and it had been a month since the Asian financial crisis had officially broken out. Everything developed as Lu Shaohua had expected, which made Lu Shaohua much less worried.

That day, Lu Shaohua returned to the headquarters. Seeing Li Yunqing and the others full of energy and excitement, Lu Shaohua, who had been worried that they would not be able to hold on, now completely relaxed.

Come to think of it, Li Yunqing and the others are not ordinary people. Although they are not very old, they are all made of good steel that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. They have learned to live with loneliness and got rid of the indulgence and playfulness that young people should have. They have calmed down and thrown their full attention into the financial storm. Lu Shaohua has nothing to worry about.

"According to the situation, Thailand is almost there. It has basically hit the bottom. Even if it falls further, it won't fall that badly. I think we should focus our attention on other countries, especially Malaysia. I think Malaysia is about to collapse." Li Yunqing said seriously.

Lu Shaohua didn't speak in a hurry. He nodded, with a smile on his face, and asked quietly, "Is this your personal analysis or the result of the discussion among the three of you?"

"There are three of us." Li Yunqing answered truthfully.

In fact, in addition to their analysis, there was a more important reason why Li Yunqing said this, that is, Lu Shaohua had not come to the headquarters for many days. His visit today made Li Yunqing feel very strange, so he told him directly that Lu Shaohua's arrival this time was a new action.

Even though he felt there would be new actions, combined with their analysis results, Li Yunqing had a rough idea in his mind and thought it was time to take action against Malaysia.

Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen felt the same as Li Yunqing. They both believed that the time had come to take action against Malaysia. Of course, the word "take action" seemed out of place for them. It would be more accurate to say that it was not them who took action against Malaysia, but Soros and his group who took action against Malaysia.

That’s right, it was Solaso ​​and his men who took action against Malaysia. They were the instigators and leaders. As for Phoenix Financial headed by Li Yunqing, they were just taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit and pick the ripe fruits.

As early as the end of last year, Lu Shaohua started to lay out his plans. It was also from that time that Phoenix Financial had been lurking in the financial markets of various countries. And a month ago, on July 7, the day after the financial crisis broke out, Li Yunqing and others brought in the second batch of funds to participate in the battle. It can be said that they had planned it in advance and were just waiting for others to take the lead so as to take advantage of the situation.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed and said, "Yes, they are probably going to attack Malaysia, and we will have fun again. Well, but I have to ask one more question, have you seen the data I gave you some time ago?"

In mid-July, Lu Shaohua gave the second set of data to Li Yunqing and others, but this time was different from the last time. Lu Shaohua did not mention anything about Malaysia in the data. It was all ordinary data, and he did not tell Li Yunqing and others that it was from Malaysia. It could be regarded as a mystery.

"I've seen it." Li Yunqing nodded heavily, obviously having seen it many times.

At this point, if Li Yunqing still didn't know that the data belonged to Malaysia, then Li Yunqing would not be Li Yunqing, nor would he be the general manager of Phoenix Financial, let alone one of the three financial geniuses in Phoenix Group.

However, Lu Shaohua still smiled mysteriously and asked one more question, "Didn't you realize that I gave you too much data?"

You have to know that Lu Shaohua gave Li Yunqing and others a lot of data in mid-July. There was no indication on it, no country, no date, just a lot of data. Afterwards, Lu Shaohua repeatedly asked them to just remember the data and not think about anything else.

Lu Shaohua had his reasons for doing this. Being mysterious was certainly one of the reasons, but Lu Shaohua's intention was not just this, because his memory told him that not only Malaysia could not hold on, but even the two neighboring countries could not hold on either.

What does this mean? It means that this stage of the crisis has arrived. Apart from Thailand, the countries that are affected first and are still struggling to hold on will be attacked fiercely. The data provided by Lu Shaohua is not for one country, but for three countries. As for which three countries they are, it is time to reveal it now.
