Chapter 1926

Su Xinghui asked with a smile, "How much did you make?"

Yu Ruizhi said with a smile, "Let Xiuyuan tell you."

Mi Xiuyuan then began to talk about what had happened over the past few days. Although he looked somewhat indifferent, Su Xinghui could still see the excitement he was trying hard to suppress in his eyes.

It turned out that last week, international financial speculators finally launched a long-planned attack on Hong Kong. As soon as the attack began, the Hang Seng Index fell in response, dropping by more than 1,000 points, and fell even more in the following days.

However, the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian Chinese business consortium, with the Mi family and the Xie family as the core, had also been prepared for a long time. Although the initial decline was fierce, they were not impatient. They continued to divide the international hot money according to the established strategy and launched a strong resistance to their attacks.

The central government of China also used its foreign exchange reserves to help Hong Kong fight back. Hong Kong reiterated that it would not change its exchange rate policy, and the Hang Seng Index rose again, climbing all the way to the 10,000-point mark. The international hot money was originally a rabble; they were all very energetic when fighting a favorable battle, but once they encountered such strong resistance, most of the hot money scattered like birds and beasts.

This was the weakness of international hot money. They had no resilience and would flee at the slightest setback. As long as someone started to flee, it was like pushing over dominoes. Under the chain reaction, most international speculators ran away, leaving only a few big crocodiles like Soros. Although they had money, they were still incomparable to a major power.

They also needed those small speculators to boost their momentum. Once these small speculators ran away, they had no resistance left. The final result was that big crocodiles like Soros suffered heavy losses and could only flee in defeat.

Before they fled, most of the wealth they had plundered in Southeast Asian countries was left behind, becoming the spoils of the Chinese business consortium.

After this battle, the capital they invested had increased more than tenfold, approaching twentyfold. This was a huge number.

This time, everyone present had truly become a billionaire. Even Xu Xiaoguang and Min Tong, who invested the least, saw their tens of millions turn into nearly a billion in huge wealth.

Now that the Mi family had returned the capital they originally invested, with interest, in just over three months, they were all super-rich, which made them feel like they were dreaming.

Now that they had become super-rich, they certainly wouldn't forget Su Xinghui, who had guided them. Therefore, they agreed to come to Chongjin County together to show support for Su Xinghui.

Their arrival was just in time; Su Xinghui was just in need of their funds.

Su Xinghui smiled, "You've all become big tycoons now. Sitting with you, I feel a bit ashamed of my own inferiority."

Chu Zheng shouted, "What are you saying? Aren't you embarrassing us? If it weren't for you, where would we be today?"

Mi Xiuyuan also said, "Xinghui, my father and Uncle Xie still have some aftermath matters to deal with in Hong Kong. After they finish, they will personally come to Chongjin County to express their gratitude to you."

Su Xinghui waved his hand, "They are elders, so there's no need to be so polite."

Xie Junqiang said, "Xinghui, they must come, so don't be polite with us. This time, the fact that our Mi and Xie families were able to escape this disaster and turn misfortune into a blessing is all thanks to you. They must thank you in person!"

Su Xinghui smiled slightly, "They are really too polite."

Yu Ruizhi asked, "Xinghui, what do you need us to do now? Just say it. Now, buddy, I have nothing else, but I have plenty of money."

Su Xinghui laughed, "Brother Yu, you've really expanded now!"

Everyone laughed.

Hou Wenhai said, "Xinghui, now that we all have money, if you have any needs, just say it."

This time, Hou Wenhai invested the most capital, so his harvest was naturally the greatest. In this battle, he earned almost half of the previous wealth of the Hou Group at once, greatly increasing the strength of the Hou Group. Moreover, this time they held all cash. Having so much cash on hand also gave them plenty of confidence.

Su Xinghui then put away his smile and said seriously, "The two most important things now are road repairs and embankment repairs. You must help me do these two things well."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Just tell me how much money you need."

Su Xinghui said, "I haven't specifically asked about the road repairs yet, but this project probably won't require too much funding because most of our area is flat land. The difficulty of road repairs is not as great as in Changshan County, and the cost will definitely be lower. Embankment repairs, on the other hand, will require a lot of funding."

Yu Ruizhi said, "How much?"

Su Xinghui said, "350 million!"

If it were in the past, this huge number would definitely have surprised them all, but now, hearing this number, they all seemed to have no feeling at all. Yu Ruizhi said, "Alright, we can just scrape this money together. It's nothing for me to pay it alone."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Of course, you won't pay this money for nothing. The county will use other ways to compensate for this funding, such as land, or other assets. However, this time, it's not just about money; it also requires you to organize a large amount of manpower and material resources as soon as possible to help our county repair the embankments."

Xu Xiaoguang said, "That's no problem. Our Haimin Construction has recently completed several projects. We can transfer the machinery and personnel from these project departments here to help you repair the embankments."

Su Xinghui said, "Of course, this embankment project still needs to go through formal bidding procedures. You also need to bid according to normal procedures. Whether you can get this project depends on your bid. I won't give you any special treatment on this issue."

Xu Xiaoguang said, "Isn't it just bidding? What's the big deal? This time we have earned enough in Hong Kong. Even if we don't make a penny on this project, or even lose money, it doesn't matter. I don't believe anyone else can beat us in bidding."

Mi Xiuyuan smiled, "That's not necessarily true. Our Mi Group's construction company also wants to compete with you."

Xu Xiaoguang said, "President Mi, you want to compete? Then I'm afraid we really can't compete with you."
