Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 650: Evacuation from Taiwan

Li Zekai, the son of Li Jiacheng, has a father who is known as a starter. Li Zekai is no worse than his father. With his own efforts, he won the title of Little Superman. After that, he sold the telecommunications company, gathered wealth, and participated in this action, expanding his wealth to 20 billion US dollars.

Two hundred billion US dollars. If calculated according to the world wealth rankings, Li Zekai's wealth is much more than that of his father Li Jiacheng. However, the world wealth rankings are just a ranking after all, and some invisible wealth is not included.

In Lu Shaohua's opinion, the world's wealth rankings are no different from children playing house. According to their rankings, Li Jiacheng's net worth in 2010 was only over billion US dollars, but Li Jiacheng's actual wealth is much more than billion US dollars.

And now, after the Thai financial crisis, Li Jiacheng's wealth has continued to increase. His current wealth has expanded to at least more than 30 billion US dollars. This is a rough estimate by Lu Shaohua, and the detailed calculation has not been done yet.

Of course, how much wealth others have is none of Lu Shaohua's business. Lu Shaohua only knows that his wealth has reached an astonishing level. What he is concerned about now is the attack on the Japanese yen and the Korean dollar, and whether investing too much money will have a counterproductive effect.

It is precisely because of this reaction that Lu Shaohua will make new arrangements for Li Zekai. Li Zekai has decided to put all his assets into the battle, which is 20 billion US dollars, a figure that cannot be underestimated, so Lu Shaohua has to be careful.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua gave Li Zekai a suggestion, asking Li Zekai to divide the funds into two batches, with 20 billion US dollars equally divided, one for the Japanese yen and the other for the Korean dollar, and to speculate on both sides.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had no choice but to do so, because Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Financial had already deployed a lot of funds in the Japanese yen and the Korean dollar. Together with Soros and others, a large amount of funds had already been formed. If Li Zekai's 20 billion US dollars came, it would be a big deal.

In order to relieve the pressure, Lu Shaohua could only let Li Zekai disperse, with one side investing 10 billion US dollars.

Li Zekai remained silent and fell into deep thought. What was known was that the yen would fall significantly, so now Lu Shaohua asked him to divide the funds into two batches, which meant that he would make less money.

Making money has to be high-profile. In this respect, Li Zekai and Lu Shaohua are the same. If Li Zekai is given a choice between big money and small money, he will of course choose big money. There is nothing wrong with that.

Seeing that Li Zekai didn't speak, Lu Shaohua was so smart that he didn't know what Li Zekai was thinking. He smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "I'm afraid that I can't bear too much money, because I have already invested a lot in the Japanese yen. If your 20 billion US dollars enters the market, it will have a counter-effect, I don't know."

It's helpless to say that Lu Shaohua didn't explain it clearly to Li Zekai at the beginning, so Li Zekai didn't know what Lu Shaohua was considering, which made Li Zekai hesitate.

Now that Lu Shaohua has explained the reason, if Li Zekai still doesn't understand, then it would be a waste of Lu Shaohua's efforts to make money with them.

"No problem, you arrange it and I'll do it." Li Zekai smiled, a little embarrassed. At the same time, he cast an apologetic look at Lu Shaohua, apologizing for misunderstanding Lu Shaohua's meaning.

Lu Shaohua didn't care, so he stopped and said, "In fact, you still have another option, which is to speculate on the market index. Although we can't predict how much it will fall, the drop should not be too small."

When a currency is attacked, the stock market will fall in response. This logic seems to be an eternal law with few exceptions.

"No, I just want to trade in currencies. The stock market is too complicated and cumbersome. I don't want to get involved." Li Zekai quickly came up with an answer and rejected Lu Shaohua's other proposal.

Li Zekai refused straightforwardly, and Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Then it's decided, currency."

Everything had been arranged, and Lu Shaohua had nothing more to say. He chatted with everyone for a while, drank two glasses of red wine, then said goodbye to everyone and returned to his residence.

Several months have passed since the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis. During these months, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong have all been hit to varying degrees.

There is no need to say much about other countries and regions, which suffered heavy losses. Only Hong Kong has the giant Phoenix Group. Although Hong Kong has suffered losses, compared with other countries and regions, its losses are almost negligible.

Yes, Thailand suffered the most. It was the first country to be attacked, and the Thai baht fell the most, and the stock market fell to a record low. Next was Indonesia, which also suffered heavy losses, second only to Thailand.

Then there are several other regions and countries. Singapore suffered the least, although it suffered losses, but the losses were not very large. It can be said that apart from Hong Kong, Singapore suffered the least. As for Taiwan, Taiwan still has an ending, because the New Taiwan dollar is still falling at this time, and Lu Shaohua has not evacuated Taiwan.

It was almost the end of October, on October 27th, the weather was sunny and it was a good day for traveling. However, for Lu Shaohua, such good weather was a busy day.

Oh, no, it shouldn't be said that Lu Shaohua was busy, it would be more appropriate to say that it was Li Yunqing and the others who were busy, because this day was the day to evacuate Taiwan. Unlike countries like Indonesia, the evacuation from Taiwan was very clean, whether it was the stock market or the currency, all were evacuated, which was also what Lu Shaohua meant.

"The market will close in an hour. Let's start taking action in twenty minutes." Li Yunqing stared at the big screen, as if muttering to himself.

But as soon as Li Yunqing finished his words, he was echoed by Liu Mingzhang. "Forty minutes is enough. Well, it won't be too late to take action half an hour before the closing. After all, we are evacuating at all costs, so we don't need to consider whether there are any problems with them."

Liu Mingzhang is such a person. No matter which country or region is being hyped, he will ignore it. Although Taiwan is part of China's territory, for Liu Mingzhang, it is just a place to make money, without any emotional element mixed in it.

If Lu Shaohua's current target is Hong Kong, Liu Mingzhang will do the same and will regard Hong Kong as a market to make money instead of considering Hong Kong as his hometown. It can be said that in Liu Mingzhang's eyes, there is no emotion to speak of.

Of course, we cannot say that Liu Mingzhang is cold-blooded, but his professional ethics tells him that sometimes he cannot bring emotions into work. The only thing he has to do is to complete the tasks assigned to him by Lu Shaohua, and then get the commission as dividends, and that is enough.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua will not do anything against Hong Kong, let alone the country. When Hong Kong was attacked, Lu Shaohua stood up and acted as a savior, saving the Hong Kong stock market. He will not let Liu Mingzhang and others do anything without any emotion.

However, the current target is Taiwan, and Lu Shaohua has no intention of holding back. Li Yunqing and the others certainly don't have to carry any emotional baggage and can give full play to their abilities.

"It's better to be safe." Li Zongen also spoke up and expressed his opinion.

In this regard, Li Zongen's idea coincided with Li Yunqing's. Both advocated being on the safe side and not taking risks. The situation was reversed in an instant. With a score of 2 to 1, Liu Mingzhang's proposal was rejected.

Li Yunqing nodded, glanced at Liu Mingzhang, and seeing that the latter did not show any discomfort, he patted Liu Mingzhang on the shoulder, as if to comfort him, and then said, "Then let's take action forty minutes before the closing."

Lu Shaohua heard everything that Li Yunqing and the other three said, but he didn't say anything because Lu Shaohua had already said that he had left all matters to the three of them and would not get involved. Now was the time to confirm what he had said, so of course he wouldn't say anything.

But even so, Li Yunqing finally came to Lu Shaohua and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"You can just discuss it." Lu Shaohua didn't even open his eyes, just closed them and replied softly.

Li Yunqing was speechless for a while, and could only say "hmm", nodded and returned to his seat, focusing on the big screen and checking the time.

Time passed by bit by bit, and twenty minutes passed quickly. When there were only forty minutes left before the closing, Li Yunqing spoke, with two simple words. "Action."

The action was taken. After receiving the order, the traders below began to take action and operated quickly with only one purpose, which was to clear the positions.

Liquidating the positions also means that the battle against Taiwan is coming to an end. At the same time, it also means that the net that Phoenix Financial had set up a long time ago is gradually tightening, and will eventually close the net and reap the fruits of victory.

In fact, when it comes to pulling the net and picking the fruits of victory, this is what Lu Shaohua does all the time. Thailand is a good example. The fruits of victory have been picked long ago, and Malaysia and other countries have also picked the fruits of victory, but only half of the ripe fruits on the "fruit tree" have been picked, and the other half is still to be picked.

It’s different here in Taiwan. All the fruits on Shengli’s fruit trees are ripe and can be picked. Li Yunqing and his team are also picking the fruits.

Forty minutes...

Forty minutes passed quickly, and all the results came out. They just needed Li Yunqing and his team to do the statistics, and then they could get the final profit. How much would it be? Lu Shaohua didn't know, and neither did the others. They were just waiting for the calculation results.
