Chapter 192: Follow behind the predators

"Next, I will stop all investment in the international futures market and the Hong Kong stock market, leaving one billion Hong Kong dollars as reserve funds, and the rest will be invested in the foreign exchange and foreign exchanges of Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. In the financial market." Zhou Hao said to the employees.
I heard one of the American male employees say: "But boss, the financial market in Southeast Asia is very chaotic. We got news that George Soros and others are making trouble there. If we invest our money there, it is risky. I am afraid it will be very big."
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Risks are accompanied by interests. The so-called crisis is organic. It is because their financial market is chaotic that we can profit from fish in troubled waters. In fact, Soros's group of crocodiles was established as early as the beginning of the year. At that time, it was arranged in Thailand and other countries, in order to be ready to make huge profits from the Southeast Asian financial market. I now want to take advantage of their almost complete preparations, and follow their steps to make as much profit as possible. "
In later generations, experts analyzed the Asian financial turmoil and found many reasons, the most important of which was the impact of upstream capital in the international financial market. There are currently about 7 trillion U.S. dollars in circulating international capital worldwide. Once international speculators find that a country or region is profitable, they will immediately attack the currency of that country or region through speculation in order to obtain huge profits in the short term.
Another reason is the improper foreign exchange policies of many countries in Southeast Asia. In order to attract foreign investment, they maintain a fixed exchange rate on the one hand and expand financial liberalization on the other, providing international speculators with opportunities. For example, Thailand abolished its capital market control in 1992 before the country’s financial system was straightened out, allowing the flow of short-term funds to flow unimpeded, providing conditions for foreign speculators to speculate on the Thai baht.
Headed by George Soros' Quantum Fund and Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund, a large number of international speculators are fancying the financial flaws of Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, and they will invade and sweep the financial markets of Southeast Asian countries into a mess.
According to Zhou Hao's previous life, George Soros joined other international hedge funds to launch attacks on the long-coveted Southeast Asian financial markets as early as the beginning of 1997. In the beginning, they sold the baht wildly, causing the baht's exchange rate to plummet. In the face of the aggressive offensive of hedge funds, the Central Bank of Thailand decided to intervene in the market, using about 12 billion U.S. dollars to absorb the Thai baht. On the one hand, the local bank borrowed the Thai baht to offshore investors, and on the other hand, it greatly increased the interest rate. All things being done, the Thai baht exchange rate has temporarily remained stable.
The first phase of this world-famous Asian financial crisis began in June 1997. In June, hedge funds once again launched a fatal blow to the Thai baht, and the Central Bank of Thailand had to withdraw, because the only US$30 billion in foreign exchange reserves had already run out of ammunition and food. On June 30, the Thai prime minister assured foreign countries on TV: "The Thai baht will not depreciate, and we will let those speculators lose their money."
However, only two days later, the Central Bank of Thailand was forced to announce the abandonment of the fixed exchange rate system and the implementation of a floating exchange rate system. On that day alone, the Thai baht plummeted by 20%, and then the governor of the Central Bank of Thailand. Malaga announced his resignation. Until August, the Central Bank of Thailand decided to close 42 financial institutions. So far, the Thai baht has completely fallen into Crashed.
During this period, hedge funds also launched attacks on the Philippine peso, the Malaysian ringgit and the Indonesian rupiah. Finally, Southeast Asian currencies, including the Singapore dollar, fell one by one.
It is already May, and there is only one month left before the predators such as George Soros and Julian Robertson launch a total offensive, so Zhou Hao has to step up preparations. Compared with the huge funds of tens of billions of dollars used by those financial predators, the amount of less than two billion dollars in Zhou Hao's hands will not be able to raise any big waves.
And Zhou Hao didn't intend to make waves, his purpose was just to follow the footsteps of these predators and fish in troubled waters. As for the damage to the economies of Southeast Asian countries by this storm, Zhou Hao's consideration is not included.
As George Soros said in the face of the media after the Asian financial turmoil in his previous life,
In terms of financial operations, it is not ethical or unethical. This is just an operation. The financial market does not belong to the category of ethics. It is not immoral. Morality does not exist here because it has its own rules of the game. I am a participant in the financial market. I will play this game according to the established rules. I will not violate these rules, so I don’t Feel guilty or be responsible."
Although George Soros’ words are irresponsible, after analysis by many financial experts in previous lives, they all agreed that the internal cause of the Asian financial turmoil was the unsound financial economy of Asian countries, even without the external force of George Soros and others. The Asian financial turmoil will also happen, and even its impact will be much greater than in reality.
What's more, Zhou Hao's mere US$1.2 billion could not stop George Soros and the others, nor could it prevent the occurrence of the Asian financial turmoil. Instead of this, it would be better to use these funds to reap more benefits.
The only thing that caused Zhou Hao to have a psychological barrier was the anti-Chinese massacre in Indonesia in 1998.
Indonesia was the latest to be affected by the Asian financial turmoil, but it was the most affected. After their great economic recession, they were deliberately incited by the government to vent their anger on the local Chinese, leading to that notorious The massacre happened.
Since the vast majority of the local Chinese are Indonesian nationals, despite the friendship of compatriots, mainland China cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. This has become an angry and helpless matter for the domestic people.
Zhou Hao in his previous life saw the horrible photos, and immediately became enthusiastic, wishing to go to Indonesia to drive out the Indonesians and exterminate the overseas Chinese compatriots.
Now that Zhou Hao has really been born again, he will definitely not stand idly by.
After making detailed arrangements for his employees, Zhou Hao concluded: "If it goes well, our funds will be doubled to three times by the end of the year." By the next year, the Asian financial crisis will spread to the world. Zhou Hao has more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
"Boss, Will Soros and Robertson really succeed? Now the Bank of Thailand has intervened." A local analyst in Hong Kong was suspicious.
Zhou Hao smiled confidently, "Believe me, the Bank of Thailand will not be Soros's opponent. Think about it, even the British government was defeated by Soros in those days, and Thailand was too vulnerable."
Seeing the confident smile on Zhou Hao’s face, the employees were also infected. In addition, Zhou Hao’s predictions on the stock market over the past six months have been so divine that these financial elites have become habitual. trust.
After setting up the task, Zhou Hao and Su Lin returned to their office.
Here, Zhou Hao has an independent office, just behind the office lobby.
This office covers an area of ​​nearly 150 square meters. There is a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows over there. You can see the bustling street scene in the middle ring below. There is even a lounge in the office for Zhou Hao to use.
As Zhou Hao's secretary, Su Lin had her desk behind the door.
At this time, Zhou Hao sat on the executive chair and sighed, "I'm the boss on the first day, I don't know if the people below will be convinced."
Su Lin smiled and said: "You did a great job. I saw them looking at you with admiration just now." When Zhou Hao assigned tasks to the employees just now, he was like a general who could only fight on the battlefield. The serious look has an incomparable charm. It is said that serious men are the most charming, even Su Lin, who just recorded Zhou Hao, was fascinated by Zhou Hao's handsome and confident appearance.
Looking at the pedestrians hurrying and passing by and the surrounding magnificent buildings, Zhou Hao suddenly stretched out his right hand and smiled to himself: "This'Pearl of the Orient', I will let it shine for me sooner or later!"
That kind of arrogant smile that was so self-confident and even unbelievable gave Su Lin here a feeling of suffocation. She seemed to see a lion roaring at the beasts below on the hill to establish her overlord. Status.
Turning his head to see Su Lin was a little stunned, Zhou Hao scratched his head and smiled: "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm still too childish, I'm afraid this will make people laugh out of their teeth."
Seeing Su Lin smiled and shook his head, "No, I believe you will do it."
"Ah, by the way, since I came to Hong Kong, I have to pay my respects to the pier." Zhou Hao suddenly smiled and took out a business card from his arms. It was the business card that General Lu Zhenwu gave him before.
Today, Zeng Yingpei is the deputy director of the Hong Kong Police Force and one of the top figures in the Hong Kong police circle. A visit to him is definitely good for Zhou Hao. Moreover, the phone number on this business card given by Lu Zhenwu is Zeng Yingpei's personal phone number.
So Zhou Hao immediately dialed Zeng Yingpei's phone.
But the one who answered the phone was a woman. Those who can have Zeng Yingpei’s private phone are not ordinary people, so the woman’s attitude is very friendly, "I’m his wife Zeng Mingjieying. He is talking on the phone with the Governor of Hong Kong now, which is not very convenient. Well, let me ask him to call you back later?"
