Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 632: The First Wave of Profits

Everything was arranged, and it was finally decided that Lu Shaohua would take the leading role. Ho Ying-tung and his colleagues would ensure the logistics, provide good protection for Lu Shaohua, and, when necessary, acquire some small shares to ensure that no accidents would occur.

Ho Ying-tung and his companions left, left the Yan Ai Hospital, but when they left, each of them left a red envelope, a red envelope wrapped in a cheque. The face value of the cheque was counted, six 8s, which means Hong Kong dollars.

Lu Shaohua was not short of money, and she had not planned to accept red envelopes for having a daughter. However, Huo Yingdong and others all gave her red envelopes, and Lu Shaohua could not refuse. After all, it was a kind gesture from others, so how could Lu Shaohua refuse? To quote Huo Yingdong, the red envelopes are for your daughter, not for yourself.

Lu Shaohua finally accepted the red envelope, and when Huo Yingdong and the others left, Lu Shaohua also came to the ward to visit Qin Sichen. It had been more than an hour since Qin Sichen left the operating room. After more than an hour of rest, Qin Sichen's complexion was much better than when he just came out, and he was not as pale as when he just came out of the operating room.

"You should have a good rest and recover first. As for your daughter, she has been taken away by the nurse and will probably be brought back tomorrow." Lu Shaohua said softly in Qin Sichen's ear.

Maybe it was the nature of maternal love. When Qin Sichen faced Lu Shaohua, the first thing she asked was where her daughter was. Lu Shaohua could only use this comforting tone. After all, Qin Sichen had just given birth to a child. Her complexion had improved a little, but it did not mean that she had fully recovered. What's more, the child had just been born and needed so many vaccinations and recuperation for a period of time. In this regard, the hospital was relatively scientific.

"Yeah." Qin Sichen nodded gently, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you chosen a name for your daughter?"

Lu Shaohua shook his head and said truthfully, "Not yet. You are her mother, so you can choose one for her."

Lu Shaohua had thought about giving his daughter a nice name, but when he thought about it, he didn't even have a primary school diploma. Even if his academic level had reached university level through self-study, Qin Sichen was already a doctor, and they were totally incomparable.

Furthermore, as an elderly mother, Lu Shaohua still has to respect Qin Sichen. Leaving her daughter's name to Qin Sichen is the greatest comfort. Therefore, Lu Shaohua has been reluctant to name her daughter and left it to Qin Sichen to choose.

Sure enough, Qin Sichen smiled comfortingly, nodded, and said, "I'll torture her and give our daughter a nicer name."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua smiled and said, "You can give her a name, but the surname is not negotiable. She must have the same surname as mine, Lu, not Qin."

In Hong Kong, many children take their mother's surname at birth. Lu Shaohua was afraid that Qin Sichen would give his daughter the surname Qin on a whim, so he had to make a statement in advance as a precaution to prevent Qin Sichen from really giving his daughter the surname Qin.

"I know." Qin Sichen laughed, but she still smiled happily. How should I put it? Qin Sichen knew her identity, that of a lover. She was really afraid that Lu Shaohua would let his daughter take his surname, which was equivalent to drawing a clear line between them. But now that Lu Shaohua had spoken, Qin Sichen was relieved. "By the way, you went over there today. How was it?"

Lu Shaohua knew what Qin Sichen was asking about. It was nothing more than a financial matter. "I've already made a move. I withdrew from Thailand. I just finished selling. I didn't have time to look at the data when I received a call from the hospital. I rushed over."

"Oh!" Qin Sichen responded, and then said, "Then you can go back. You've been busy all day. Don't worry about me in the hospital. There are nurses to take care of me."

Qin Sichen knew that although Lu Shaohua seemed to be very free on the surface, who could know that Lu Shaohua was actually busy with mental activities. Sometimes mental activities were more tiring than physical activities. More importantly, Qin Sichen knew Lu Shaohua. Now that the Thailand event was over, Lu Shaohua definitely wanted to see the profit data as soon as possible. If she hadn't been about to give birth to a child, Lu Shaohua might have seen it as soon as possible.

Lu Shaohua was indeed a little tired. He hadn't realized it just now, but after Qin Sichen said that, he really felt a little tired. He smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly. "Then I'll go back first. You should have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Lu Shaohua left, left Ren Ai Hospital and rushed back to his residence. However, before he knew it, the sky had darkened. When he looked at the time, he realized that it was already past five in the evening. A day had passed just like that.

After returning to the villa, Lu Shaohua did not stop. He called Li Yunqing and asked him to transfer the data. Then he hung up the phone, had dinner, took a hot shower, and went online. With the opening of the Internet, many things became much more convenient. He did not need to print out a large stack of documents every time and send them over in person. Now he only needed to log in to the mailbox, put all the data in it, and then transfer it. He was done.

However, while Li Yunqing was relaxed, Lu Shaohua was not relaxed. His hands could not help but twitch. Although he had prepared himself mentally, when he saw the final number, Lu Shaohua's calm heart could not help but beat violently.

Not for any other reason, just because the data is too huge.

Lu Shaohua knew that he would make a lot of money in Thailand this time, but he never imagined that with the devaluation of the Thai baht and the decline of the stock market, coupled with Liu Mingzhang and others finding ways to borrow money from Thai banks to exchange for US dollars, and then exchange US dollars for Thai baht, earning the difference in the middle, he would make so much money.

One hundred and four hundred and thirty-seven billion US dollars, 1437 billion US dollars, this is just the beginning number, there is a long string of tens of millions, millions, and hundreds of thousands of numbers behind it. If you use the rounding method, the number should be one hundred and four hundred and thirty-eight billion US dollars.

The data that Li Yunqing sent over was very comprehensive, including how much was invested, how much money was earned from each investment, how much was borrowed from the bank in Thailand, how much was exchanged back and forth between Thai baht and US dollars, and then US dollars for Thai baht, and the difference in between. Li Yunqing calculated all of this clearly.

But the problem lies with Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua does not have enough leisure time to look at the data in detail. After all, the numbers are too complicated. If Lu Shaohua reads them from beginning to end, it will take him half a day to finish.

The only things he had looked at were how much money was made in the stock market as a whole, how much was made from the speculation of the Thai baht, and how much was made from the price difference of borrowed money. This was the total ledger of these three figures. As for how much was invested, Lu Shaohua was really not in the mood to look at it.

In comparison, more money was made from speculation in the Thai baht, a total of US$78.1 billion, which was the largest amount of money. The stock market was not bad either, with an income of US$65.1 billion. In addition, the leftover money earned from borrowing money also brought in nearly US$500 million, which added up to more than US$123.7 billion.

Of course, this money also includes principal, that is, the profit plus the money earned. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move so much money from Thailand alone. However, according to the figures that Lu Shaohua knew at the time, there was an investment of nearly 60 billion US dollars. Now it is calculated that he has earned about 80 billion US dollars in Thailand.

More than 80 billion US dollars, this is a figure of pure profit. Lu Shaohua is satisfied because this time is different from the Japan crash that year. The stock market crash in Japan that year fell and rose quickly. Lu Shaohua could speculate back and forth and make a fortune of more than 420 billion US dollars.

The two disasters are totally incomparable. Japan's economy back then was countless times stronger than Thailand's, and with the back-and-forth hype, it was normal for Lu Shaohua to make so much money. But Thailand is different now. No matter its economic strength, it has fallen to the bottom and it will take a long time to recover. It is understandable that Lu Shaohua earns less as he has lost the link of back-and-forth hype.

It has been less than two months since July 2nd, and in these less than two months, Lu Shaohua has earned more than 80 billion US dollars. This is more profitable than robbing a bank or a gold shop. Even smuggling drugs and arms is not so profitable. What else is Lu Shaohua not satisfied with?

Yes, it’s time to be content. After all, the Asian financial crisis is not over yet!

No! To be more precise, the Asian financial crisis has just begun and has no sign of ending. In other words, the Asian financial crisis will continue for a long time, and Lu Shaohua's opportunity to make a fortune is far from over. There will be a lot of room for speculation.

Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Russia, these regions and countries will all be attacked. Apart from Russia which can withstand the attack, other regions and countries will suffer devastating blows. This is also a good opportunity for Lu Shaohua to join the robbery. He can completely treat those countries and regions as "super ATMs".

According to Lu Shaohua's memory, Hong Kong and Russia were able to withstand the Asian financial crisis of 97-98, but this was only the final result. During the attack, both the exchange rate and the stock market experienced huge turbulence. This turbulence was a good opportunity for Lu Shaohua to fish in troubled waters. However, he could not make a long-term investment like in Thailand and other places, and needed to make a quick decision.

"Huh!" Lu Shaohua took a long breath and muttered to himself. "It's still early!"

Yes, it’s still early, it’s still a long way from the end of the Asian financial crisis, Lu Shaohua has plenty of time to make money, and plenty of time.
