Chapter 734

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Time came to July, and the weather in the Northern Hemisphere gradually became hot.

New York,

Soros Fund Headquarters Building.

"Mr. Soros!"

"Boss!"

Soros walked into the building, and employees bowed respectfully one after another after seeing Soros.

This building has 5 funds, all of which are funds under Soros, among which the Quantum Fund is the most famous and is a large-scale fund famous in Huaerjie and the world financial circle.

Arrived at the office.

Coffee had already been brewed.

7 documents had been placed on his desk.

In addition to the previous "Analysis Report on Thailand's Economic Situation and the Pegging of the Thai Baht to the US Dollar,"

There were also: 6 analysis reports on the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong.

Took a sip of coffee to refresh his spirit.

He first opened the document on the Philippines:

"(I) Overview of Recent Inflation Data: 1990-1994, inflation rates were 14.8%, 12.8% respectively..."

"The fiscal deficit accounted for 4.5% of GDP in 1994..."

"Energy dependence and price shocks: The Philippines lacks domestic energy resources, and more than 70% of energy depends on imports..."

Soros looked,

Satisfied!

Very good!

Another fat sheep!

Then it was Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan... looked at them one by one.

He evaluated the ranking of defects in these countries: Thailand > Indonesia > South Korea > Malaysia > Singapore > Japan.

All are fat sheep!

Finally,

The gaze came to the last document.

"Risk Assessment of Hong Kong's Economic Development Status and the Linked Exchange Rate System"

"Exchange rate loophole: Under the linked exchange rate system, the M2 index has exceeded 3 times. Once sold on a large scale, Hong Kong will lack sufficient US dollars to maintain exchange rate stability..."

"Real estate market loophole: The real estate market is overheated, housing prices are too high, and real estate loans account for too high a proportion of bank assets. If housing prices fall, the capital chain of real estate companies will break..."

"International hot money loophole: As an international financial center, Hong Kong attracts a large amount of international hot money. Once there is a financial shock, international hot money will conduct speculative trading, impacting Hong Kong's stock market and exchange market..."

"Hahaha~~~"

"Fat sheep!"

Soros stood up excitedly, walking back and forth, thinking about various plans in his mind.

Soon,

He held an internal senior management meeting, met secretly, and proposed a plan to short the Asian financial market!

"This is another opportunity since the pound sniper battle in 1992!"

"And this time, multiple countries and regions in Asia are more fragile than Britain. As long as it succeeds, we can earn profits several times more than 1 billion US dollars!"

At the meeting,

Soros restored the confident posture of being in high spirits 3 years ago, waving his arms and talking about his grand plan.

Numerous shareholders and senior executives were attracted by the plan.

After understanding the economic data of various Asian countries, they all felt the huge opportunity in it.

These countries have too many economic loopholes!

Simply fat sheep!

Huaerjie, Citigroup Building.

A car stopped on the side of the road,

Gao Hu got out of the car, wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, like a refined beast, carrying a briefcase.

He looked up at this building, 59 floors in total, 279 meters high, the base pillars are four vertical pillars, and the top is a 45-degree oblique tip.

"So ugly~~~"

"Also, the whole building is supported by 4 vertical pillars, is it not afraid of collapsing..."

Gao Hu complained.

He joined Citigroup half a month ago and became an intern in the financial department. Because he got in through connections, he didn't do any chores. And others also relied on their own strength to quickly adapt to the work content and won the affirmation of colleagues around them.

Speaking of this building,

A week ago, New York blew a relatively rare strong wind, and he was lucky enough to experience the swaying building.

At that time, he couldn't help but think—will I die here? Sorry for Brother Zu's cultivation?

Later, I asked a colleague and found out that this building has many legends.

——This is a classic case of how North American licensed architects face major technical errors through efficient communication and effective reporting to insurance companies to turn the tide.

——In order to adapt to the "Zoning Law" and create more public space in exchange for higher floors, this building was built only to find that the structure had a big problem, and finally spent a great price to repair and renovate it.

——This building is a classic case in the architectural world: one is the case of buying the space on top of the church, and the other is the case of repairing the structure.

Gao Hu was speechless after hearing these stories.

At this time,

A black luxury bulletproof Lincoln sedan stopped slowly on the dedicated lane in front of the Citigroup building, attracting Gao Hu's attention.

The car door opened,

Four tall, serious-looking bodyguards got out of the car quickly, and then opened the door for the middle car.

George Soros got out of the car.

Gao Hu's heart jumped, and he remembered Director Guan Zu's instructions to pay attention to Soros.

Didn't expect to meet him here.

Gao Hu subconsciously observed every move of Soros, thinking in his heart, what is Soros doing running to Citigroup?

A bodyguard seemed to feel Gao Hu's gaze, turned his head, and glanced in Gao Hu's direction.

Gao Hu showed a seemingly innocent and harmless smile.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Soros walked steadily toward the entrance of the Citigroup building.

Gao Hu waited for a while before following.

Top floor,

Soros sat around a long table with senior executives of JPMorgan Chase.

He opened a carefully prepared document, which listed the economic data of Asian countries in detail.

"These Asian countries seem prosperous, but in fact, their economic structure is riddled with loopholes. The Thai baht is seriously overvalued, and its foreign exchange reserves are difficult to support the current exchange rate level..."

"As long as we join forces to attack, starting with the Thai baht, it will trigger market panic..."

Citigroup executives whispered to each other, discussing the risks and benefits.

After several hours of fierce discussion, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on some key issues. JPMorgan Chase indicated that it would further study the plan proposed by Soros and consider providing financial support and trading cooperation at an appropriate time.

At noon,

Gao Hu and his colleagues finished their meals in the cafeteria and found a seat next to a group of senior executives without a trace.

After listening for more than ten minutes, he heard a little useful information—Soros and Citigroup senior management had a meeting, talked for more than 2 hours and hadn't finished, and had to continue talking in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, more intelligence could not be heard.

In the next half month, Soros visited several consortiums, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, etc., and expounded on that secret and ambitious action again and again—the plan to snipe the Asian financial market together.

His Quantum Fund only had 6 billion US dollars.

But his reputation is leverage, enough for him to pry hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Although these banks were skeptical about Soros's plan, under Soros's amazing resume of "breaking" Britain in 1992, and under the temptation of huge benefits, they also expressed their willingness to join this risky adventure.

Of course, this is limited to senior management knowing, and everything is carried out secretly.

Hong Kong.

In July, the Governor's House reviewed and passed a list of Legislative Council candidates.

That's right, the 1995 Legislative Council election is about to begin.

The list was announced in July.

The election officially began in September.

Director Guan Zu was on the list of Legislative Council candidates. Although the Legislative Council member was already a small official for Director Guan Zu, it was very convenient for many things, so Director Guan Zu added himself to this list.

Chris Patten: "Listen to Brother Zu!"

Liang Liang Shuyi was still on the list of candidates for the media constituency.

But there was a new candidate competing with her—Wen Huixin!

Liang Liang Shuyi's home. On the table,

A newspaper was placed on the table, and the cover was "The List of the Legislative Council Men and Women War Officially Released."

"*Bang~~~*"

Liang Liang Shuyi was so angry that her face was distorted, and she slapped the table angrily.

"Director Guan Zu, you are trying to kill them all~~~"

After she was dismissed from TVB by Fang Yihua, she started a semi-monthly magazine and a daily newspaper herself, but unfortunately, it was not popular.

In this Legislative Council election, she still wanted to be re-elected. After all, the annual salary was millions, and there was power.

However, she saw a name in it—Wen Huixin.

Wen Huixin can be said to be known to everyone in the media industry. After all, she is the first sister of ATV news, and she can be seen on the news every day, known for being professional, sharp, and cold with warmth.

This is a woman with high emotional intelligence and high IQ.

Liang Liang Shuyi, who is setting sun, compares with Wen Huixin?

Clear Water Bay.

It became lively here again.

Why?

Because the whale handsome guy is here again, again, again.

May-August is the fishing moratorium, and a large number of fish are frantically breeding. Perhaps it was attracted by the fish, perhaps it remembered Director Guan Zu, so it came.

Also brought a wife.

On the yacht,

Director Guan Zu pulled Ruan Mei, Fang Ting, and Le Huizhen's hands one by one, touching the whale's head. While touching, Director Guan Zu complained to Ding Hu on the side:

"Look at you, the whale has a girlfriend, but you don't..."

"Hey~~~"

Shook his head, sighed.

Hate iron for not becoming steel!

Ding Hu: "............"

He had to defend himself: "Boss, when I came to Hong Kong, you said you would arrange a wife for me."

Director Guan Zu was surprised: "Is there?"

Ding Hu was very certain: "Yes!"

Director Guan Zu thought for a while: "How about this, I'll give you a month off, you go home, see if the country has arranged it for you. If not, I'll arrange it for you?"

Ding Hu scratched his head: "Good!"

Director Guan Zu finished touching the whale, and the two whales went into the water.

In the distance, citizens and reporters were used to it.

*Click click click*~~~

Took many photos.

Media reporters had already thought of tomorrow's headline—"Director Guan Zu's Abnormal Love with Whales"... uh, this headline, will it be beaten by Brother Zu?

At this time,

Wen Huixin boarded the yacht.

"Mr. Director Guan."

Wen Huixin came this time, on the one hand to thank Director Guan Zu, on the other hand to take the wife route, and get along well with Director Guan Zu's three wives... In these two or three years, she has done this very well, and Director Guan Zu is very satisfied.

Director Guan Zu looked at his watch, it was already 11 o'clock: "I'm leaving~~ I have to go to the airport to pick someone up, you guys continue to play..."

Ruan Mei nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

1 hour later,

At this time, a plane came from Sichuan and landed at Kai Tak Airport.

Jimmy.

Tanned darker, dusty.

The reason why he came back this time was because his wife's due date was coming.

Walked out of the airport,

At the airport entrance, he saw Director Guan Zu standing next to the black Chevrolet.

Director Guan Zu opened his arms: "Oh~~~~ (drag tone), my dearest brother, Jimmy~~~~"

Jimmy had a black line on his face: "Brother Zu, why do I feel you are a little guilty?"

"*Cough cough cough*~~~"

Director Guan Zu was embarrassed for a moment.

Speaking of which, Director Guan Zu was indeed a little guilty. During Jimmy's wife's entire pregnancy, he arranged for her to go to Sichuan, and she could only return once every half a month. What he did was really too cruel.

Director Guan Zu hooked his shoulders: "Oh, don't care about these small details... Ah Mei helps take care of your wife every day, and now she is fine."

Speaking of which, Jimmy's wife is from Shanghai. (In the movie, she taught Jimmy Shanghai dialect)

She has some common topics with Ruan Mei, who is from Hangzhou.

Soon,

Director Guan Zu picked up Jimmy and returned to Causeway Bay.

Jimmy said goodbye to Director Guan Zu and returned home quickly.

The next day, Jimmy rested for a day, and came to Central Plaza in a happy mood to report the progress in Sichuan to Director Guan Zu.

In terms of primary and secondary schools, the first batch is almost built, and they can be accepted in September and October.

The second batch of construction has also started.

As for the comprehensive hospital, the building structure is basically built, and it is estimated that everything can be done early next year.

The efficiency is very high.

2 days later, Jimmy's wife had violent fetal movement and was sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Precious Heart Hospital overnight.

After another 19 hours, at 20:00 in the evening, Jimmy's son was officially born, mother and son were safe, the baby was 51cm long and weighed 3.51kg.

Another celebration.

Shangri-La Hotel.

In the Chinese restaurant,

Fang Fang Zhanbo sat at a table by the window, waiting for someone.

Not long after, a person who looked 30% similar to Fang Fang Zhanbo walked over quickly with a woman.

(Picture · from "Overheard 2")

"Mr. Fang, I'm very sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, I'm late... This is my wife."

Luo Minsheng looked apologetic and shook hands with Fang Fang Zhanbo.

Fang Fang Zhanbo stood up and shook hands: "No, I just arrived early... Mrs. Luo, nice to meet you~~~"

Mrs. Luo Minsheng shook hands: "My name is Guo Liping, a lawyer."

The three sat down.

This is a private dinner, not about business.

The fate of Fang Fang Zhanbo and Luo Minsheng came from the last dragon boat race. Fang Fang Zhanbo was in a hurry and knocked down Luo Minsheng while walking. They felt like old friends at first sight and felt close, so they left business cards.

Today, they made an appointment to eat together.

Both are peers.

Fang Fang Zhanbo is the president of Five Star Securities (a separate company established after applying for a license).

And Luo Minsheng is a well-known securities manager of Nanhua Financial Holdings, one of the Chinese-funded securities.

There is a sense of fate, and they are peers, so naturally, there are many things to talk about between the two sides.

After eating at noon,

Luo Minsheng invited Fang Fang Zhanbo to go fishing in the afternoon, and Fang Fang Zhanbo readily agreed.

At night,

Director Guan Zu was having dinner at the Fang family's house, a big table, the Fang sisters, Director Guan Zu, Ruan Mei, Cai Po, all were there, just missing Fang Fang Zhanbo.

After everyone finished eating, Fang Fang Zhanbo came back.

Director Guan Zu smiled: "Why? Falling in love?"

Fang Fang Zhanbo: "No... met a friend..."

He talked about the process.

Director Guan Zu's face became strange as he listened: "Wait... who did you just say your friend was called?"

Fang Fang Zhanbo: "Luo Minsheng, what's wrong?"

Luo Minsheng.

Overheard 2!

Director Guan Zu suddenly thought of the Landlord Club.

A financial organization that has gradually decayed.

Before the 97 financial crisis, should I kill it?

(Landlord Club: "???" Don't come over!!)
