The rest of the money will be invested in the foreign and financial markets of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Gambo, and other Southeast Asian countries. " Zhou Hao said to the employees.
One of the American male employees said, "But boss, the financial markets in Southeast Asia are very chaotic.
We got the news that George Soros and the others are stirring up trouble there. If we invest our money there, I'm afraid the risk will be very high. "
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "The risk is accompanied by benefits. As the saying goes, when there is danger, there is an opportunity. It is because their financial market is in chaos that we are able to fish in troubled waters and profit from it.
In fact, Soros's group of crocodiles had already set up in Thailand and other countries at the beginning of the year, in order to prepare for the violent profits from the financial market in Southeast Asia.
I just want to follow their footsteps and make as much profit as possible while they are almost done with their preparations. "
In the future, the experts analyzed this Asian financial storm and came up with many reasons. The main reason was the impact of the international financial market on investments.
Currently, there were about 7 trillion US dollars worth of liquid international capital in the global market. Once international speculators found out which country or region it was in, it would be profitable.
They will immediately use hype to attack the currency of the country or region to obtain explosive profits in a short period of time.
Another reason is that many countries in Southeast Asia do not have proper foreign exchange policies.
In order to attract foreign capital, they maintained fixed rates on one hand and increased financial liberalization on the other, providing opportunities for international speculators.
Just like Thailand, before the domestic financial system was sorted out, in 1992, the control over the capital market was abolished.
This allowed the short-term flow of funds to be unimpeded and provided conditions for foreign investors to hype up Thai Baht.
With George Soros's Quantum Fund and Julian. Robeson's Tiger Fund was led by a large number of international investors because of the financial deficiencies of Southeast Asian countries like Thailand.
That was why there was a large-scale invasion. The financial markets of all Southeast Asian countries were in a mess.
According to Zhou Hao's memory in his previous life, George Soros had joined forces with other international funds to attack the financial markets of Southeast Asia, which he had coveted for a long time, at the beginning of 1997.
From the start, they had started to dump Thai Baht, causing the Thai Baht exchange rate to plummet.
In front of the aggressive attack of the fund, the Central Bank of Thailand decided to enter the market and intervene, using about 12 billion USD to absorb Thai Baht.
On one hand, the exquisite local banks lent Thai Baht to the offshore investors, and on the other hand, they increased their rates. With the help of the three banks, the Thai Baht exchange rate remained stable for the time being.
The first stage of this world-famous Asian financial storm started in June 1997.
In June, the HPF once again launched a fatal attack on Thai Baht. The Central Bank of Thailand had no choice but to withdraw its defenses because the 30 billion USD foreign exchange reserves had run out of ammunition and grain.
6th month, 30th day, the Thai Prime Minister promised on TV, "Thai Baht will not depreciate. We will make those speculators lose all their capital. "
But just two days later, the Central Bank of Thailand was forced to give up the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system.
Just on that day, Thai Baht suffered a 20% drop, followed by the President of the Central Bank of Thailand. Malacca announced his resignation.
Until August
During this period, the HKD also attacked the Philippines' pesos, Malaysia's Linjit, and Indonesia's Shields. In the end, the Southeast Asian currency, including the Singapore Dollar, fell.
It was now May, and it was time for George Soros and Julian to arrive. Robeson and the other big crocodiles launched their general attack, so Zhou Hao needed to hurry up and prepare.
Compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars used by those tycoons, Zhou Hao's less than two billion US dollars was not enough to cause any big waves.
Zhou Hao did not intend to stir up trouble. His goal was just to follow the footsteps of these crocodiles and fish in troubled waters.
As for the destruction of the Southeast Asian economy this time, it was not within Zhou Hao's consideration.
It was just like what George Soros had said to the media after the financial storm in Asia in his previous life.
"In terms of financial operations, it is not about morality or morality. It is just an operation.
The financial market does not belong to the moral category. It's not immoral, morality doesn't exist here, because it has its own game rules.
I'm a participant in the financial market, and I'll play this game according to the rules I've set. I won't violate these rules, so I don't feel guilty or responsible "
Although George Soros's words were irresponsible, many financial experts in his previous life had come to the conclusion that the internal reason for the financial storm in Asia was because of Asia's poor financial economy.
Even without the external help of George Soros and the others, the financial storm in Asia would still happen, and the impact would be much greater than in the real world.
Furthermore, Zhou Hao's one billion and two billion USD could not stop George Soros and the others, nor could it stop the financial storm in Asia.
Instead of this, it was better to use these funds to gain more benefits.
The only thing that made Zhou Hao feel uneasy was the massacre in Indonesia in 1998.
Indonesia was the last to be affected by Asia's financial storm, but it was the one that was affected the most.
After their economic decline, the government intentionally incited them to vent their anger on the local people, leading to the infamous massacre.
As most of the local Han were Indonesian, Therefore, even though they were fellow citizens, China could not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
This had once become a matter of anger and helplessness for the people of China.
In his previous life, when Zhou Hao saw those horrible photos, his blood immediately boiled. He wished that he could go to Indonesia and kill all those Indonesian people to vent the anger of his fellow countrymen.
Now that Zhou Hao had really been reborn, he would definitely not stand idly by and watch this matter.
After making detailed arrangements for his employees, Zhou Hao summarized, "If everything goes smoothly, our funds will double or triple at the end of the year. "
Next year, the financial storm in Asia would affect the entire world. At that time, Zhou Hao would have more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
"Boss, will Soros and Robeson really succeed? Now, the Central Bank of Thailand has already intervened. " A local Hong Kong analysts were suspicious.
Zhou Hao revealed a confident smile, "Trust me, the Central Bank of Thailand will not be a match for Soros.
Think about it, back then, even the British government was defeated by Soros. A mere Thailand can't even withstand a single blow. "
Seeing the confident smile on Zhou Hao's face, the employees were infected.
In addition, Zhou Hao's prediction of the stock market for the past six months was simply miraculous. It made these financial elites have a habit of trusting him.
After arranging the tasks, Zhou Hao returned to his office with Su Lin.
Here, Zhou Hao had an independent office behind the office hall.
The office area was close to 150 square meters. There was a row of large floor-to-ceiling windows over there. He could see the bustling streets of the middle ring below. There was even a lounge in the office for Zhou Hao to use.
As Zhou Hao's secretary, Su Lin's desk was behind the door.
At this moment, Zhou Hao sat in the large chair and sighed. "It's the first day that I'm the boss. I wonder if the people downstairs will believe me. "
Su Lin smiled and said, "You did very well. Just now, I saw them looking at you with admiration. "
When Zhou Hao assigned the tasks to the employees, his imposing manner as if he was a general who only knew how to fight on the battlefield, as well as his serious expression, all had a kind of incomparable charm.
It was said that serious men were the most charming. Even Su Lin, who had just made a record for Zhou Hao, was captivated by Zhou Hao's unrestrained and confident appearance.
Looking at the hurried pedestrians and the grand buildings around him, Zhou Hao suddenly stretched out his right hand and said to himself with a smile, "This Pearl of the East, I will make it shine for me sooner or later!"
That kind of confident and even arrogant smile made Su Lin feel suffocated.
It was as if she saw a lion roaring at the beasts below to establish its dominance.
Zhou Hao turned his head and saw Su Lin was a little stunned. He scratched his head and smiled. "Haha, sorry, I am still too childish. If this is the case, I'm afraid it will make people laugh their teeth off. "
Su Lin smiled and shook her head. "No, I believe you will definitely do it. "
"Oh right, since we are in Hong Kong, we have to pay a visit to the pier. " Zhou Hao suddenly smiled.
He took out a business card from his pocket. It was the business card given to him by General Lu Zhenwu.
Zeng Yingpei was now the Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Police Department, one of the top figures in the Hong Kong Police Force. It would definitely be good for Zhou Hao to pay him a visit.
Furthermore, the number on the business card given by Lu Zhenwu was Zeng Yingpei's private number.
Therefore, Zhou Hao immediately dialed Zeng Yingpei's number.
The person who answered the call was a woman. Those who had Zeng Yingpei's private number were not ordinary people, so the woman's attitude was very friendly.
"I am his wife, Zeng Mingjie Ying. He is currently on the phone with the Governor, so it is not convenient for him. How about this, I ask him to call you back later?"
