Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 445: Pre-War

The three teams under Phoenix Financial each have their own means. One operates in secret, one invests in the Hong Kong stock market openly, and the other is semi-open and semi-secret. Sometimes it invests in the Hong Kong stock market, and sometimes it disappears and operates in secret.

This semi-silent and semi-dark team was led by Liu Mingzhang. Among the three teams, their earnings ranked in the middle, earning a little less than Li Zongen but a little more than the team led by Li Yunqing.

Lu Shaohua also attaches great importance to this team. No matter how much money they make, Lu Shaohua values ​​it very much. The reason is simple. With a bright identity, he can take action at any time, and with a secret identity, he can do small tricks behind the scenes. It can be said that he has the best of both worlds and can attack or defend.

However, at this moment, Lu Shaohua paid more attention to the results. No matter what advantages he had, Lu Shaohua wanted to see the results. Especially now that a large amount of funds was needed, Lu Shaohua hoped that Liu Mingzhang would show him considerable numbers.

"Haha, it's finally my turn." Liu Mingzhang said pretentiously, as if he had been waiting for half a century. He hesitated for a moment before continuing. "In the past four months, my team has done a total of five 'businesses', all of which were done following Soros. The only difference is that Soros made a profit and left, while we continued to do it and added funds. The final profit is known. We made money from the beginning to the end, and it was a real harvest."

Liu Mingzhang was not in a hurry to get to the point. He explained it first and then continued. "The first profit of this 'business' was made."

"Wait, Mingzhang, when did you become a woman?" Lu Shaohua raised his hand to interrupt Liu Mingzhang, rolled his eyes at him, and then said, "Just get to the point, the final number."

Lu Shaohua didn't give Liu Mingzhang any face, but there was nothing he could do. Lu Shaohua was anxious now and was eager to get a number as soon as possible so that he could see how much funding was short so that he could find a way to mobilize more to fill the gap as soon as possible. After getting enough money, he would set off for Mexico to make advance arrangements.

"Do I look like a woman?" Liu Mingzhang suddenly asked.

"Similar!" Li Zongen was the first to agree.

"Very similar!" This is what Li Yunqing said.

"Absolutely." This was Lu Shaohua's evaluation.

"" Liu Mingzhang was suddenly speechless, scratching his head awkwardly, and finally understood his words and said seriously. "After completing the five 'businesses', plus the previous funds, the total is about 8.7 billion US dollars."

8.7 billion US dollars, this was Liu Mingzhang's final answer. From this answer, Lu Shaohua could probably guess the profit situation. He was very satisfied and nodded. "Very good."

At the end, Lu Shaohua praised Liu Mingzhang, but did not stop there, and continued, "This is 8.7 billion, plus the previous 14.6 billion, a total of 23.4 billion, um, it seems a little less."

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua was prepared to make a big move in this Mexican financial crisis. Two hundred and thirty-four billion US dollars was not enough, but Hong Kong could only raise this much money and could not take out more.

"Yes." Liu Mingzhang nodded seriously, agreeing with Lu Shaohua's statement, and then continued, "I have studied Mexico seriously during this period. According to preliminary estimates, it would be difficult for us to maximize our funds without 30 billion US dollars."

"Oh, so it seems you have a plan of your own?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Yeah." Liu Mingzhang nodded.

Since last time he heard Lu Shaohua say that he was targeting Mexico, Liu Mingzhang had checked everything about Mexico, and compared it with Lu Shaohua's statement, deducing the possible financial crisis. Slowly, a plan of his own emerged. It was also because of his own plan that he dared to estimate how much money would be needed to maximize the investment.

Lu Shaohua was quite happy to get Liu Mingzhang's affirmation, but being happy did not mean that he agreed with the plan that he had not seen yet, nor did it mean that the plan Liu Mingzhang came up with was not good. Instead, the plan set before he gave the decline data of the Mexican financial crisis was utopian and inaccurate, and there was no way to maximize the funds.

"Have you put your plan into document form?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Yes." After saying that, Liu Mingzhang unzipped his briefcase, took out a three-page document, and handed it to Lu Shaohua, as if he had expected this scene to happen.

Lu Shaohua nodded and took the document, but he did not read it immediately. Instead, he put the document aside and said, "I will read this plan carefully."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "I will go to Mexico in person this time, but before that, Mingzhang and Zongen, you two need to go ahead and get your people there first."

"No problem." Li Zongen nodded and spoke first.

"I have no problem either. I've been prepared for this long ago." Liu Mingzhang also nodded, clenching his fists with an extremely excited expression.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded, shifting his gaze to Li Yunqing and stopping, then said helplessly, "Yunqing, you may not be able to attend. Hong Kong cannot do without you."

"I know that." Although Li Yunqing concealed his expression well, anyone could hear the regret in his expression.

Be it the Japanese stock market crash in 89 or the attack on the British pound in 92, Li Yunqing had no part in it as a whole. Except for the last action he participated in in 89, he had no part in other things. This made him very helpless. He longed for a big battle, but as Lu Shaohua said, Hong Kong was leaving him.

Furthermore, Li Yunqing followed Liu Mingzhang in gradually fading out of Phoenix Financial, and he, as the general manager, gradually became the spokesperson for Phoenix Financial. If he left Hong Kong and was discovered by the media, it would be a disaster.

Lu Shaohua is not a fool, so he can naturally see that Li Yunqing is eager to participate in such a war. However, Lu Shaohua cannot let him go with him because the financial crisis in Mexico will more or less affect the global stock market, and Hong Kong will not be immune and will be affected to some extent. If Li Yunqing is not in charge, Lu Shaohua will always be a little worried.

"Don't worry, it will be your turn next time. Well, you will be the commander-in-chief and both Mingzhang and Zongen will obey your orders." Lu Shaohua said seriously. This was his true feelings. As for the last words, they were half true and half false. What is the matter with being deployed or not? When the real battle comes, everyone will defend their own side and there will be no such thing as being deployed or not.

"Really?" Li Yunqing was very happy, but he was not very sure, so he could only confirm it again.

"Really." Lu Shaohua said with certainty, and then added, "But it may take a little longer."

"As long as there is action, that's enough." The meaning is very clear. As long as there is action, Li Yunqing will be satisfied.

Lu Shaohua smiled and nodded, but did not continue the topic. He waved his hand and said, "You guys sit down for a while. I'll make a phone call."

Lu Shaohua just wanted to give Li Yunqing some motivation and a promise. As for when this promise and motivation would be realized, Lu Shaohua didn't want to say it, and there was no need to say it. The most important thing right now was to deal with the funding issue first. After all, time was running out, and it would take several days to mobilize funds. If he didn't speed up, it might delay his overall plan.

After saying this, Lu Shaohua ignored the expressions of Liu Mingzhang and the other three, and did not hide his intentions from them. He picked up the telephone receiver in the hall, quickly dialed a number, and waited for the call to be connected.

"Hey!"

"It's me, Lu Shaohua." When the voice came from the other end of the phone, Lu Shaohua introduced himself and then asked directly, "Can they transfer funds now?"

"Sure, how much do you want?" the person on the other end of the phone answered directly.

"Between 25 billion US dollars and 30 billion US dollars." Lu Shaohua gave the number in his mind.

"No problem, but the number is so large, it may take two or three days."

"Okay, as soon as possible." After saying that, Lu Shaohua hung up the phone.

This call was not made to anyone else, but to Xie Jianwei at the African base. Xie Jianwei managed the secret base and was also in charge of finances. The operating funds of the entire base were in his hands alone. Lu Shaohua could only go to him for funds.

There is a lot of funds at the base, but all the funds have their uses. Lu Shaohua would not withdraw funds from there unless he had no choice. But now there is no way. Lu Shaohua needs funds, and needs this money to make more funds. The only way is to withdraw funds from the base.

However, Lu Shaohua was able to transfer US$25 billion to US$30 billion in funds with just one phone call, which made Liu Mingzhang and the other two stunned when they heard it. Then they were surprised. They didn't know where Lu Shaohua got the funds, and their faces were full of question marks.

Lu Shaohua also saw that they had doubts, but he did not explain. The base in Africa was his secret. Even if he believed that Liu Mingzhang and the others would not leak his secret, he could not tell them. After all, the fewer people knew about it, the less likely it would be leaked. Lu Shaohua would not take the risk.

"According to the current situation, our maximum funding this time is more than 50 billion or nearly 60 billion US dollars, which should be about enough." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "Well, three days, the remaining funds will arrive in three days, and Mingzhang, you are in charge of finances, so you have to delay the trip to Mexico for three or four days."

"No problem." Liu Mingzhang nodded.

"Okay, then let's do this. Zong En will go to Mexico first, Ming Zhang will go later, and Yun Qing will stay in Hong Kong to look after the house." Lu Shaohua made the final summary, but he did not mention when he would set off for Mexico.
