Chapter 549: I'm Not a Gambler

It was already 8:50 when Li Ye arrived at Zaojunmiao.

Wen Leyu and Li Juan had already eaten and drunk their fill, washed up, and were sitting on the sofa in slippers, eating fruit and watching TV.

Ever since she got used to coming to Zaojunmiao, Li Juan felt that she was living a fairy-like life. Not to mention the good food and drink, just a bathroom that didn't require queuing was enough to maximize her sense of happiness.

Seeing Li Ye enter the door, her sister Li Juan hurriedly put on her shoes and socks, packing up her things to prepare to return to the school dormitory.

Freshmen in their first year were still very afraid of the school's various bans. The counselor said to return to the dormitory on time at night, and she was afraid even if she was one minute late.

However, Li Ye waved his hand and said, "No rush, we'll go back in a while."

Wen Leyu exchanged glances with Li Ye and said with a smile, "Don't serve your brother, go to your room, let me see how your homework is."

"Oh~"

Although Li Juan didn't know why Wen Leyu suddenly wanted to check her homework, she still agreed obediently.

Wen Leyu's English was very powerful, more than enough to teach Li Juan.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

Around nine o'clock, the phone rang.

In fact, Li Ye rushed to Zaojunmiao before nine o'clock, one was to pick up the two girls to return to school, and the other was to wait for the phone call.

Since the "Plaza Accord" was signed yesterday, then starting from today, the hunt that had been prepared for more than half a year was about to begin.

So Li Ye agreed with Hearing Fu Guiru that they would have a phone call every night in the short term.

Li Ye picked up the phone, and the person on the other side was indeed Hearing Fu Guiru.

"Hello? Mom, is everything going smoothly?"

"Does that even need to be said? Smoothly, couldn't be smoother, hehe~"

Although Hearing Fu Guiru's tone was very relaxed, her voice was a bit hoarse, obviously caused by anxiety and anger.

Li Ye asked with concern, "Mom, did you stay up late again? Your throat is hoarse. I told you long ago that man proposes, God disposes; why are you so anxious!"

Hearing Fu Guiru laughed, "You say it lightly. With such a big plan, even a fairy couldn't sit still! But the most anxious time has passed. Only now can I say I've put my heart into my stomach."

In Hearing Fu Guiru's eyes, Li Ye and Pei Wencong's layout against Japan was a huge gamble. With such a large capital poured in like flowing water, what if they lost the gamble?

But with the signing of the "Plaza Accord," Hearing Fu Guiru was completely relieved.

It was no longer a question of losing or winning, but a question of how much they could win.

Li Ye asked with a smile, "Now the general trend is set, the rest is just fine work. Tell Luo Runbo to let his legal team perk up and be careful about those Japanese people regretting and defaulting on debts."

"Someone already wants to default," Hearing Fu Guiru said easily, "There might be a lawsuit to fight recently, but the possibility of us losing is very small."

"Who wants to default? Is it Nakamura Co., Ltd.?"

"How much money do they have? Is it worth me telling you?" Hearing Fu Guiru laughed, "It's another real estate company. Three days ago, we just spent 26 million US dollars to buy a piece of real estate in the center of Tokyo. The procedures haven't been completed yet.

Now this real estate is clearly going to appreciate, so they regretted it. But we used a company in the Lighthouse for this transaction, so it won't be that easy for them to fight a lawsuit."

After the Plaza Accord, the first change was the exchange rate, and then real estate would also skyrocket in value.

So when Hearing Fu Guiru and Luo Runbo started laying out in Japan from the Spring Festival, they first bought core real estate, then mortgaged it to borrow yen, and then added leverage...

This series of operations would definitely maximize profits, but the risks taken were also great, especially when global hot money was pouring into Japan, this kind of risk wasn't just limited to the financial aspect.

The reason why Li Ye asked Luo Runbo to register companies in other countries was to borrow skin and momentum, which was also a helpless move; otherwise, it would increase a lot of trouble.

After all, the current China was not the China forty years later that dared to say "three things not allowed in the Asia-Pacific."

Even the declining Britain behind Hong Kong had more face in the Western financial market at this moment than China.

Li Ye chatted with Hearing Fu Guiru for a while and finally instructed, "For the specific situation, Mom, you decide for yourself! In short, be careful above all. The foundation of making money is your safety."

Hearing Fu Guiru said with a faint smile, "You don't need to worry about this for us. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, that's all. We are not shrimp either."

When the "Plaza Accord" was signed, the five signatory countries initially invested about 10 billion US dollars to intervene in the exchange rate,

and then private capital and hot money from all over the world were attracted, eventually reaching the level of hundreds of billions of US dollars.

They took advantage of the situation to short heavily, taking Wall Street and Japan as gold mines and carrying out various looting, and the blood in their mouths had been flowing for several years.

Some people said that since 1985, global private capital had become the dominant force in the world financial market, and the currency exchange rates of countries around the world were just writing boards for them to turn their hands into clouds and cover them into rain.

Just like Napoleon said, "Money has no motherland, financiers do not know what patriotism and nobility are, their only purpose is to profit."

For the sake of money, those people wouldn't even let their own countries go.

Compared to those people, Li Ye's 1 billion US dollars was still a bit thin, just a bit bigger than a small fish, barely counting as a big fish.

But as long as they survived this opportunity, Li Ye, this big fish, would truly become a crocodile.

After Li Ye finished the phone call, he and Wen Leyu sent Li Juan back to the dormitory and then went for their routine walk by the Weiming Lake.

Wen Leyu asked carefully, "Did you talk to Auntie on the phone? Is there any troublesome matter?"

Li Ye asked in surprise, "Why do you ask?"

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye and said, "The time you spent on the phone this time was a bit long... so I thought there was some trouble."

"Heh~, it's not any trouble,"

Li Ye hugged Wen Leyu's slender waist tightly and said with a smile, "I told you, there's an opportunity in the exchange rate market in Japan,

recently my mom has been speculating on the exchange rate, so she asked for my opinion. After all, that's the money for a wife she gave me."

"Go, what money for a wife, that's Auntie's money, don't be greedy."

Wen Leyu pushed Li Ye coquettishly, and after a while asked again, "Speculating on exchange rates, money comes very fast, right?"

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu strangely, then said with a smile, "Why? Do you want to try?"

Wen Leyu said embarrassedly, "Don't we have a sum of money ourselves? Why don't you let Auntie help us buy a little bit?"

Wen Leyu stretched out two fingers and gestured a very small gap.

"A Song of Ice and Fire" had already been serialized to more than 2 million words, and in the account belonging to Wen Leyu in Hong Kong, there was also more than 10 million US dollars, so Wen Leyu was a bit eager to try.

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu's two fingers and asked, "How much do you want to buy? 2 million US dollars?"

Wen Leyu's little mouth opened, and it took a long time before it closed.

"I just want to buy a little bit, I'm not a gambler."

Li Ye said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, being steady and managing the household is an important sign of a good wife, then let's buy 200,000 US dollars."

Wen Leyu's little mouth opened again, and finally nodded and said, "Hmm, then let's buy 200,000 yuan!" ===== CHAPTER 550 =====
