Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 874: Prelude to Evacuation

Xiang Huaqiang wanted to increase capital and take the opportunity to make a fortune, which seemed a bit greedy, but Lu Shaohua understood Xiang Huaqiang's behavior and did not think that Xiang Huaqiang was greedy, on the contrary, it was ambition. Because it was very simple, if you were greedy, you would only care about the present and not the future, but Xiang Huaqiang thought differently, the reason why he wanted to make more money was entirely for his future.

The more money he makes, the bigger the scale of Xiang Huaqiang's future development will be, and the faster the development will be, especially his China Star Film Company. After years of development, China Star Film Company has now become the leader of Hong Kong films, but its scale cannot be compared with Hollywood film companies.

To become stronger and bigger than Hollywood film companies is the dream of Xiang Huaqiang and Lu Shaohua. They want Hong Kong films to surpass Hollywood and become the undisputed number one in the world. However, with the development of the times, the investment in movies is getting bigger and bigger. With Xiang Huaqiang's strength, it is a bit difficult to support a high output of movies. Therefore, Xiang Huaqiang needs money.

If he had tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in funds, then who would Xiang Huaqiang be afraid of? Investing hundreds of millions of dollars a year would be enough to support his company for decades. In the long run, why would he be afraid of not being able to compete with Hollywood?

In order to bring Hong Kong films out of Asia and into the world, Xiang Huaqiang must strengthen his own strength. To do this, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is money, lots of money.

Lu Shaohua knew Xiang Huaqiang's plan, so he did not think that Xiang Huaqiang increased the capital out of greed, but that he wanted to increase the capital for his own ambition.

Unfortunately, it was too late to increase capital at this time and the best opportunity had been missed. In addition, Lu Shaohua believed that the time was almost up and it was close to withdrawal, so there was no point in increasing capital.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua rejected Xiang Huaqiang and asked Xiang Huaqiang not to increase the investment. However, Lu Shaohua also knew that Xiang Huaqiang would definitely be disappointed. After all, this was a good opportunity to make a lot of money. But Lu Shaohua was helpless. After all, if he got in at this time, not to mention that he would not make much money, there would also be great risks. Lu Shaohua absolutely could not let Xiang Huaqiang increase the investment.

"Hey……"

Lu Shaohua let out a long sigh and said nothing more. He stared at the night view of Hong Kong outside the car window. His mind was calm, truly free of distractions and indescribably relaxed.

……

Time passed, and a day went by. During this day, the US stock market was still falling, but the decline was not very large. It only fell by nearly 500 points in the whole day, which was not as much as the afternoon of the previous day.

But Lu Shaohua was already very satisfied. After all, a drop of 500 points in one day was a big drop compared to usual. What's more, it was the U.S. stock market, a drop of 500 points in one day in such an economically developed country was a huge deal.

And this huge event happened to be caused by him, Lu Shaohua. As the initiator, it would be a lie for Lu Shaohua to say that he had no sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua also knew that if the market fell 500 points today, it might be even less tomorrow. Within three days, the U.S. stock market would probably stabilize, and the turmoil would be over by then.

Lu Shaohua is speculating on the decline of the overall market index. Once the stock market stops falling and remains stable or rises, Lu Shaohua will lose money. Well, not only will he lose money, but once the stock market stabilizes, it will become impossible to withdraw and he will be completely trapped.

That was a situation that Lu Shaohua did not want to see, so Lu Shaohua had to withdraw before the U.S. stock market stabilized, that is, to withdraw from the U.S. stock market. Only in this way could he make money, and this time he could be considered a perfect success.

Three days, according to Lu Shaohua's estimation, the U.S. stock market will return to stability, so Lu Shaohua will have to withdraw after two days to ensure that he can withdraw completely. Because the investment is huge, it will take a lot of time to withdraw.

With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua told Liu Mingzhang his thoughts and expectations when he returned home, as if he was discussing something with Liu Mingzhang and the others.

Coincidentally, Liu Mingzhang's prediction coincided with that of Liu Mingzhang and his team. As for the idea, it was exactly the same as Liu Mingzhang and their plan, which was to evacuate after two days. However, there was an important link in Liu Mingzhang and their plan, which was to gather a large amount of funds before evacuating and then fiercely attack the U.S. financial market, causing the U.S. stock market to plummet again to provide cover for the evacuation.

This plan was supported by Lu Shaohua. Indeed, if the U.S. stock market fell slowly, it would be impossible to withdraw all at once. However, if the U.S. stock market fell sharply again, the result would be different. Many international speculators might smell something fishy and think that the second wave of attack by Phoenix Group was coming. They would rush in and buy on the decline of the U.S. stock market. Then it would be a lively scene.

What Lu Shaohua wanted was liveliness. Liveliness would facilitate evacuation and provide a good cover. Therefore, Lu Shaohua did not object to Liu Mingzhang and their plan, but funding was a problem.

But Lu Shaohua forgot that he had given Liu Mingzhang and his team a total of 250 billion US dollars. Before any action was taken, Liu Mingzhang and his team had already thought of a way out, so they did not invest the 250 billion US dollars all together, but only invested the original 50 billion US dollars, and then added 150 billion US dollars, retaining 50 billion US dollars.

The 50 billion US dollars that were retained were prepared for Liu Mingzhang and his team's evacuation, but Lu Shaohua didn't know about it, so Lu Shaohua was worried about the funding issue.

Now that the matter was mentioned, Liu Mingzhang naturally would not hide it from Lu Shaohua. He smiled and told Lu Shaohua about the backup plan they had arranged, which made Lu Shaohua breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Shaohua had to breathe a sigh of relief, because judging from the current situation, it would be difficult to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars in a short period of time. Although there was no problem with compulsory mobilization, doing so would inevitably affect the operation of Phoenix Group.

The opportunity only lasts for a moment. The Phoenix Group now has many enemies. If the opponents find out that the Phoenix Group has a short-term shortage of funds and attack it together, Lu Shaohua cannot predict what the result will be.

The business world is like a battlefield, and Lu Shaohua has to be on guard.

Now that the funding issue has been resolved, Lu Shaohua can rest assured and let Liu Mingzhang and the others handle it. He did not get involved and ended the call with Liu Mingzhang.

The next day, Lu Shaohua stayed in the villa all the time. Even at night, when the stock market opened in the US time, Lu Shaohua did not go. He stayed at home leisurely, as if nothing had happened and felt very relaxed.

It’s not that Lu Shaohua doesn’t care about the US stock market, but Lu Shaohua knows that even if he goes to take command, it will be of no help and will not have any effect. It is better not to go, stay at home and enjoy, and not disturb Liu Mingzhang and others' work.

Although Lu Shaohua did not go to the headquarters, he knew exactly how much the U.S. stock market fell in one day, because on the next day, Liu Mingzhang and others sent all the data to Lu Shaohua's mailbox. Lu Shaohua only needed to open his mailbox to see everything.

Four hundred and ninety-three points.

This was the decline data of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York that day. It was almost 500 points, a few dozen points less than the previous day. It seemed that the downward trend was still very strong, but Lu Shaohua knew that this was a prelude to stabilization. He believed that in another day, the decline might not exceed 300 points.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's guess was correct. On the third day, the decline of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York narrowed again to only more than 280 points, which is not far from normal.

However, Lu Shaohua was not afraid, because on the fourth day, which was the third day Lu Shaohua had predicted three days ago, Liu Mingzhang and his men would take action, make a final fierce attack, and then withdraw from the U.S. stock market on the same day.

It's time to evacuate, it's finally time to evacuate. This is a farewell battle, and as the initiator of this operation - Lu Shaohua, of course he has to be present.

It was morning in the US time and evening in Hong Kong time. The headquarters of Phoenix Financial was silent. Lu Shaohua did not speak, Liu Mingzhang did not speak, Li Yunqing also sat in silence, and Li Zongen also remained silent.

No one spoke, just staring at the big screen hanging on the wall. As for why they were staring at the big screen, it goes without saying that it was the 'compass' for whether the US stock market would open.

'Ding'

With a ding, the big screen lit up, and data and trend charts appeared. The U.S. stock market finally opened.

"Action." Lu Shaohua said majestically.

It started, it finally started. Liu Mingzhang and his team’s final wave of attack finally began when the U.S. stock market opened.

Needless to say, Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues took their positions, and one order after another passed through their hands, edited into information, and transmitted through the Internet.

"action."

"action."

"action."

This is the message sent by Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen. The content is all the same, but these two simple words are of extraordinary significance. These two words mean that the entire US stock market index will usher in a sharp decline.

It fell, it fell...

Yes, it fell. Lu Shaohua, who had been staring at the big screen, saw that the line representing the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York went down at one end. It was a bottom-fishing move, which meant that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was falling, and the downward trend was very sharp.

Gradually, the decline became larger and larger, which seemed a little incredible.

But Lu Shaohua knew that someone finally couldn't help but take action.

At this moment, seeing the sharp downward trend, Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues tapped the keyboard again and sent another command.

The content of this order was equally simple: "Suspend the action temporarily!"

Why? Why do we need to temporarily stop the action?

No one knew the intention of Liu Mingzhang and his men, even Lu Shaohua was a little confused.
