Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 665: Prevention

That night, Lu Shaohua was not stingy. He asked the servants to prepare a whole table of food and opened two bottles of aged red wine. He arranged everything and waited for Liu Mingzhang and his family to arrive for a small celebration.

The population of the villa where Lu Shaohua lives has now reached a certain number. With the addition of Chen Li, Liu Mingzhang and others, one table can no longer accommodate them. Fortunately, the dining hall is large enough to fit one more table to accommodate everyone.

It is true that Li Shangkui and others are Lu Shaohua's bodyguards, but with nearly forty bodyguards, Lu Shaohua did not treat them as inferior. Every time when he had a meal at home, Lu Shaohua always invited them to eat together, just like a family.

Sitting at the rectangular table were Lu Shaohua's family, Li Shangkui and eight other people who had been with Lu Shaohua in his early years, as well as Liu Mingzhang and his family. There were sixteen people in total, and there were exactly two seats left out of the eighteen.

Originally, Lu Shaohua was not the one with the highest seniority. The person with the highest seniority here was Chen Li, who was Lu Shaohua's mother. However, this villa belonged to Lu Shaohua after all, so he was naturally the head of the family. Therefore, when the meal was served, Lu Shaohua still presided over it.

In fact, there was nothing much to host. It was just waiting for everyone to sit down, then Lu Shaohua raised the first glass of wine to toast everyone, and then announced the start of the meal.

After a sumptuous dinner, the women went to the side hall to chat, including Chen Li, who was also pulled by Qin Sichen to chat.

As for the men including Lu Shaohua, except for the bodyguards who returned to their posts after dinner, all the others were sitting in the hall chatting. Of course, there were only a few people chatting. Most of the men who came to serve as bodyguards for Lu Shaohua came from Africa and had lived a tough life. They spoke little and basically did not speak, but just listened quietly.

There are a total of forty bodyguards around Lu Shaohua. Except for ten people who are on duty to guard the villa, the other thirty people are in the hall. Among these thirty people, eight people followed Lu Shaohua in his early years. It has been quite some time now and they are the people Lu Shaohua trusts the most.

Yes, no matter whether it was Li Shangkui or Li Wusheng, Lu Shaohua trusted them very much and almost treated them as his own brothers. In front of them, Lu Shaohua would not hide anything from them except the secret of his rebirth.

Lu Shaohua was no exception and did not deliberately hide anything from the others. After all, they were all bodyguards chosen by Li Zhijie for Lu Shaohua. Each of them could be trusted. Lu Shaohua was not worried at all that they would tell his secrets.

That's why, after chatting for a while, Lu Shaohua gradually turned the topic to business and said, "The Asian financial crisis has come to an end, but it is far from over. According to the current situation, this is only a short period of peace. I believe it will erupt again soon."

At this point, Lu Shaohua glanced at Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing, and Li Zongen, and continued, "So, even if you have a holiday next time, you can't completely relax. You must pay attention to the financial market conditions in Asian countries. Once you find something wrong, you must make corresponding arrangements."

"Yeah." Liu Mingzhang nodded seriously, and then asked, "Do you have a corresponding goal? Otherwise it would be blind."

Based on Liu Mingzhang's understanding of Lu Shaohua, he knew that Lu Shaohua had his own guesses. Since it was a guess and it was very accurate, why not state the target? That way they could be more targeted and the task would not be so heavy.

"Yes, if we have a goal, we can be more targeted." Li Yunqing also echoed.

Although Li Zongen didn't say anything, his expression was all written on his face. In addition, he nodded, so it was not difficult to know that he, Li Zongen, also agreed with what Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing said.

In response, Lu Shaohua smiled and then said, "There is a goal, but according to my guess, if the financial crisis breaks out again, all Asian countries will be affected, especially Southeast Asia, where the impact will be even greater."

The previous words were just a prelude for Lu Shaohua. After a few seconds of pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Japan, this country can't escape. Their economy is too developed, it's a piece of fat meat, Soros can't help but pounce on it and take a few bites. And Indonesia, even though they have fallen badly this time, their financial system is full of loopholes and is easy to attack. Soros and his people will not let go of such a country that is easy to deal with."

Lu Shaohua's words were heart-wrenching, especially when he commented on Japan. It could be seen from the stock market crash in 89 that they were too rich, and it was impossible for Soros, the "robber", not to rush in and grab a piece of the pie.

As for Indonesia, although this country is not very rich, judging from the previous wave, their financial system does have problems and it is very easy to be conquered. More importantly, Indonesia seems to have had an unpleasant experience with the International Monetary Fund some time ago. If this country is attacked, it is unlikely that many people will stand up to support them, which creates convenient conditions for Soros and others.

"Japan and Indonesia, haha, two very interesting countries." Liu Mingzhang sneered.

Needless to say, Japan was able to invade Hong Kong during World War II. As a native Hong Konger, Liu Mingzhang has no good impression of Japan. As for Indonesia, it goes without saying that anti-Chinese sentiment has frequently occurred in recent years, and Liu Mingzhang also has no good impression of this country.

Compared to Liu Mingzhang's cold smile, Li Yunqing was much more concealed, without showing a trace of hatred on his face, he just nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, we will pay attention."

Lu Shaohua had said long ago that Li Yunqing was the commander-in-chief of the Asian financial crisis. Now the Asian financial crisis has not ended yet, and his identity as the commander-in-chief still remains, so it is only right for him to make a statement on his behalf.

Lu Shaohua was certainly relieved. The three experts under Phoenix Financial were watching. What else could Lu Shaohua worry about? He smiled and changed the subject. "Then let's talk about the issue of funds. We should have more than 100 billion US dollars in funds. These 200 billion US dollars are the total funds for the next operation. You should have a rough plan in mind. Once you start, you won't have much time to calculate. So, have a rough plan in advance so that it will be easier to act when the time comes."

During this financial crisis, Lu Shaohua initially invested 200 billion US dollars. After calculating the total account, he made more than 400 billion US dollars, which adds up to more than 600 billion US dollars.

From the more than 400 billion US dollars used to rescue Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua should have more than 200 billion US dollars left. After deducting the bonuses and commissions given to traders, there will be only more than 100 billion US dollars left from the more than 200 billion US dollars.

More than 100 billion US dollars is enough to cope with the second phase of the financial crisis. Not only is it enough, but it is also excessive. After all, Indonesia cannot afford too much money.

As for Japan, there is no need to say much. They had already made arrangements earlier. In the early stage of the outbreak, not much investment was needed. Well, it can almost be said that no investment was needed. Therefore, the remaining more than 100 billion US dollars can be used in Indonesia.

There is no problem with the amount of funds, but you also need to be prepared. Although you cannot confirm how much to invest now, you can still calculate a rough amount based on the situation.

"I understand." Li Yunqing stood up and spoke again.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything in a hurry. He nodded, pondered for a long time, and changed the subject again. "The Morgan family, the real boss of Wall Street, I think you three are familiar with it, right?"

Lu Shaohua had a certain purpose in mentioning the Morgan family at this time. He must have run into the Morgan family before, so Lu Shaohua had to be on guard against the creditors of this world. In the future, Liu Mingzhang and others would represent the Phoenix Group to speculate in the financial market, so he needed to pay more attention.

Liu Mingzhang and his friends have been in the financial market for many years, so they are certainly familiar with the Morgan family. They nodded to show that they knew about it, but what they didn't understand was why Lu Shaohua mentioned the Morgan family at this time.

Lu Shaohua did not leave them confused for too long, and quickly said, "We did nothing wrong in defending Hong Kong this time, but it is suspicious that our Phoenix Group suddenly took out so much money without making any noise. Maybe no one would question it in Hong Kong, but it is different in other places."

"And those people on Wall Street will question us even more. Combined with the abnormal situation in the financial markets of Southeast Asian countries, it is not difficult for them to guess that our money comes from other countries. It is even easier to guess that they are leading the charge and we are hiding in the dark to make the most money." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. "They are leading the charge and successfully created a battlefield, but the ones who make the most money in the end are not the initiators, but us. They have no reason not to hate us, so be careful."

The Morgan family is the undeserved boss of Wall Street, so there is no need to say much about the international speculators led by Soros this time. They were manipulated by the Morgan family. In addition, the Morgan family's selling of Hong Kong stocks at that time further illustrates the role played by the Morgan family in this Asian financial crisis.

In this case, we have to be on guard. Maybe the Morgan family has already listed the Phoenix Group as an enemy.
