Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 861 Danger Signal

The collision of the China World Trade Center meant that the 9/11 incident had officially begun, and it also meant that Lu Shaohua's plan for the U.S. stock market had officially started. At this time, the rise and fall of the U.S. stock market was related to the outcome, so Lu Shaohua naturally had to pay attention.

Lu Shaohua's understanding of finance is itself "half-baked", which can only be regarded as a partial understanding at the moment, not thorough. He mainly relies on Liu Mingzhang and other pillars of Phoenix Financial. Therefore, when the plan started, Lu Shaohua naturally asked Liu Mingzhang and others to concentrate their energy, pay attention to the big screen, and see the decline of the US stock market.

The result was soon revealed. Not long after the China World Trade Center was bombed, the news spread quickly, especially to the financial metropolis of New York. As a result, the first stock market index to fall was New York.

The China World Trade Center itself is a financial center. It was suddenly hit by a plane. The result is self-evident. The index fell sharply, even more than during the financial crisis. The big screen hanging on the wall was all green, with all the falling data.

Lu Shaohua laughed, Liu Mingzhang also laughed, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen both laughed. Although it was a silent laugh, Lu Shaohua knew that Liu Mingzhang and the others were almost laughing in their hearts but were just trying hard not to make any sound.

Yes, the New York stock market has fallen, which means that the money Liu Mingzhang and others invested at the beginning is making money, and they are making a lot of money. Although the start-up capital is owned by Lu Shaohua, don’t forget that Liu Mingzhang and others can get a 10% commission of the net profit.

A 10% commission is definitely a very high commission. To put it simply, if you make one million, Liu Mingzhang and others can get a commission of .

However, Lu Shaohua invested 500 billion US dollars this time. Will he only make millions? The answer is obvious, more than that, far more than that. With so much investment, Lu Shaohua intends to make tens of billions of dollars.

Well, it only takes 10 billion US dollars for Lu Shaohua to make this time. Then Liu Mingzhang and others will get 1 billion US dollars in commission. If we divide it up, each person can get several hundred million US dollars in wealth.

Several hundred million dollars, not just one or two dollars, it is a huge fortune. How could Liu Mingzhang and others not laugh out loud?

In addition to wealth, Liu Mingzhang and his team felt a greater sense of accomplishment. They had made investments in the U.S. stock market and were now reaping the rewards, draining the wealth of the U.S. in large sums. This was a sense of accomplishment.

In addition, the United States is an economically developed country, and its financial industry is at the top of the world. Now Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues are making huge sums of money from such a country, which further demonstrates their strength. How can Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues not have a sense of accomplishment and vanity?

They were extremely vain, and although they did not show it on their faces and hid it very deeply, Lu Shaohua could still see that Liu Mingzhang and the others were extremely vain at this moment.

But then again, occasional vanity is good. At least Lu Shaohua thinks it is acceptable if it is only occasionally, but it is not acceptable if it lasts forever, because long-term vanity will lead to arrogance.

Lu Shaohua doesn't need arrogant subordinates.

That's why when Liu Mingzhang and his friends were so vain, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but pour cold water on them. "This is just a small operation. Are they getting too cocky?"

Liu Mingzhang and his team have been following Lu Shaohua for quite some time, especially Liu Mingzhang, who has been with them through the Black Monday in 87, the Taiwan stock market crash in 89, the attack on the British pound in 92, the Mexican financial crisis in 94, and the Asian financial crisis in 97. All of them were big actions, much bigger than the current actions.

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua's words had a great impact, at least it made Liu Mingzhang and his team sober up and back to reality. Thinking back in detail, it seemed that just as Lu Shaohua said, this was just a small action, even if it was against the United States, they didn't seem to have anything to be proud of, because before this, it was Lu Shaohua who instructed them to make a good layout, otherwise Liu Mingzhang and his team would not have known that the China World Trade Center was hit, let alone that the US stock market would fall wildly because of this incident.

It can be said that the current situation is entirely due to Lu Shaohua's efforts, while Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues can only be regarded as having made hard work but have not received any credit, since it was Lu Shaohua who gave the instructions at the beginning of the operation.

Embarrassing, extremely embarrassing, even Liu Mingzhang, the thickest-skinned guy, couldn't help feeling embarrassed, not for anything else, but because of their vanity at that moment.

Scratching his head awkwardly, Liu Mingzhang seemed to realize that they had gone too far, and also understood what Lu Shaohua meant, and said seriously, "We didn't keep a normal mind."

This was an admission of mistake. Liu Mingzhang was admitting the mistake to Lu Shaohua on behalf of the three giants of Phoenix Financial.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded. He was very happy because Liu Mingzhang and the others had realized their mistakes. This was the result Lu Shaohua wanted to see the most. So, Lu Shaohua did not continue to attack them. He changed the subject and said, "The current task is to pay attention to the US stock market. Well, pay attention to the entire market. After all, we are only speculating on a large US stock index."

At last, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, be prepared to sell off at any time. After all, we are doing short-term operations this time, not long-term operations."

The 9/11 incident lasted only a week. Under the high-pressure policy of the US government, the turmoil has subsided. Even though there are still big aftereffects, it has no impact on the stock market.

If there is no impact, it means that the turmoil in the stock market has ended and returned to calm, which means it is time to withdraw. If you fail to prepare for a $50 billion investment before withdrawing, the result may be the opposite, and all the funds will be locked up.

"Don't worry, we will arrange it." Li Yunqing said to Lu Shaohua in a calm manner.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just smiled, gave them a look that said 'I trust you to do the job' and that was all.

……

The tragedy continued. The World Trade Center in the United States was hit by a plane and the news quickly spread through the media and the Internet. The world was shocked, especially the United States. People were in panic, fearing that a terrorist incident would happen where they were the next moment.

Everyone is afraid of death, let alone Americans who are powerful and have done too many bad things. They are more afraid of death than others. So, what happened next was that many Americans appeared in front of major media with expressions of fear.

As the news spread, all indexes in the United States followed suit and fell, all turning green, which seemed to tell people that the U.S. stock market was falling.

"Fall, fall, and then the storm will be even more severe." Lu Shaohua laughed secretly in his heart.

Lu Shaohua's mentality at this moment was very calm. There was no smug smile or excitement, only a gloating laugh.

A disaster occurred in the United States and the stock market fell. Lu Shaohua had laid out the plan before this. Once the US stock market fell, it would mean that Lu Shaohua would gain a lot of wealth. His total wealth would continue to increase, so Lu Shaohua was naturally happy.

However, what Lu Shaohua didn't know was that he had invested 500 billion US dollars, and although it was dispersed, such a large amount of money, even if it was dispersed, it also attracted the attention of those who were interested.

Especially the US government. When it was doing its best to rescue the market, it discovered a sum of funds of unknown origin. The official government naturally tracked down the funds of unknown origin.

It is undeniable that the United States is a powerful country with an extremely developed intelligence network. They quickly launched the investigation and conducted a thorough investigation. However, even so, the investigation was fruitless. They only found that the source of the funds was an offshore company, and there was no other valuable information.

The investigation was terminated, and the US officials had no choice but to focus on the financial market and monitor the funds of unknown origin. Yes, just monitoring, not concentrating funds to destroy it.

A country may be powerful, but it is not omnipotent, especially a capitalist country like the United States. They cannot directly intervene in the financial market. In addition, the source of funds is extremely secretive. Naturally, they are helpless and have no idea where to start.

The US officials have no solution, but that doesn't mean others have no solution. In the financial market, there are many people with a keen sense of smell, such as Soros. He has a top-notch sense of smell. When he learned that there was a large amount of funds of unknown origin in the US stock market, he guessed that it belonged to Phoenix Financial, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group.

Remember that after the Asian financial crisis, Soros once speculated that Phoenix Financial, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group, was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and was unfathomable. After several years of observation, Soros finally confirmed that the force that emerged during the Asian financial crisis was Phoenix Financial.

Now a huge sum of money has emerged, and Soros said it came from Phoenix Financial without even doing any investigation or collecting evidence.

Who is Soros's backer?

The answer is obvious: the Morgan Consortium in the United States.

It would be a lie to say that the Morgan Consortium has been able to survive in the United States without any official background.

Since Soros's backers have official backgrounds, it means that the US officials also got the news and learned that the unknown funds belonged to Phoenix Financial.

There is an idiom that goes, "follow the vines to find the melons." With clues, you have a general direction for investigation, and it is much easier to investigate thoroughly.

But the world has forgotten that Lu Shaohua also has an intelligence network that is even more powerful than that of the United States, and receiving the news in advance has become a foregone conclusion.

Just now, Li Zhijie called Lu Shaohua's cell phone, saying that the US government was secretly investigating the Phoenix Group, apparently trying to find evidence to prove that the large amount of funds in the US stock market now belonged to the Phoenix Group.

Lu Shaohua felt a headache, this was something he had not expected beforehand, because Lu Shaohua always thought that he was doing it extremely secretly and no one would find out, but now it seemed that the risk was exposed, which was a dangerous signal.

Lu Shaohua must come up with a way to deal with it.

“How to deal with it?”

This problem has become a problem that Lu Shaohua must solve at this stage.
