Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan had a premonition that Soros had acted ahead of time, perhaps because of his appearance, many things in this life were out of the historical track.

In the next few days, as more and more information came from He Xueli, it was basically confirmed that Lehman Bank filed for bankruptcy because of major problems in its investment business in Southeast Asia. Fund Shadow.

To put it simply, Soros sniped the stock of Lehman Bank. In five trading days, the market value of Lehman Bank was halved, which triggered a crazy sell-off in the market.At the same time, Lehman Bank had problems with several important investments in Southeast Asia, and its peers refused to lend, forcing Lehman Bank to death.

This is the usual practice of Wall Street private equity funds.

There is actually another reason why Yao Yuan attaches so much importance to Lehman Bank's bankruptcy—he suspects that Wall Street private equity funds are targeting him. After all, he holds 7% of Lehman Bank's shares, which is not a low shareholding ratio.

In the past few years, the capital controlled by Yao Yuan blocked Wall Street private equity funds many times, causing these hot money to suffer heavy losses. The most typical one was the Tokyo financial crisis. Come out and kill their billions of dollars in profits.

It is also because of this incident that Yao Yuan's overseas activities and whereabouts are classified as top secret, in order to prevent Wall Street private equity funds from physically destroying Yao Yuan.

Therefore, Yao Yuan suspected that they were not paranoid about him.

However, He Xueli's subsequent investigation showed that the Wall Street private equity fund's actions against Lehman Bank were not aimed at Yao Yuan, which showed that they had no time to take care of Yao Yuan, which proved that they started their actions in advance.

On the second day after Su Wangting arrived in Bangkok, the exact news came back—the international hot money represented by Soros began hoarding a large amount of Thai baht in January.

This information finally verified the information collected by the protocol department.Now that Yao Yuan is prepared, he will naturally pay close attention to the market.

The Asian financial crisis began in Thailand in 1997, and the concierge has been keeping an eye on the Thai financial market for several months.Now, Su Wangting got the exact news.

A group of Chunfeng Group represented by Huahe Investment and companies indirectly controlled by Yao Yuan are also secretly hoarding Thai baht, which is ammunition for war.

The time for Soros to short the Thai baht began to count down in days.

On June 6, Yao Yuan and Lin Shuting were busy in the garden of the backyard of the big villa. Lin Shuting liked to grow flowers, and Yao Yuan kept the innocence of his youth - growing vegetables.

When he was in elementary school, he and his father carried soil to the roof, and built a small vegetable garden on the roof, and then planted vegetables on it. Every harvest was very delicious. The feeling of full-fledged Cai Xin has realized the preciousness of labor.

Lin Xiaohu came over and greeted Lin Shuting, "Teacher Lin."

Lin Shuting nodded with a smile.

Lin Xiaohu walked up to Yao Yuan and whispered, "Mr. Li is here."

It's not Li Bancheng. In Yao Yuan, everyone calls Li Bancheng by his first name. The only person who can be called Mr. Li is the president of the Hong Kong branch of Huaxin News Agency.

Yao Yuan immediately washed his hands and Lin Xiaohu left the backyard, saying, "Mr. Li, please go to the study."

"Yes." Lin Xiaohu walked quickly.

Yao Yuan went to the study to wait, rubbing his brows and thinking.

He has dealt with Mr. Li several times. Hong Kong is going to return to China, and a lot of work needs the cooperation of enterprises in Hong Kong. Wing On Group is one of the best group companies in Hong Kong. Since the transfer of some assets, Chunfeng Group has also established the first in Hong Kong. Second headquarters.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is necessary to unite Hong Kong's industry and commerce to ensure the stability of the return, and prevent British-funded enterprises from transferring the wealth of Hong Kong people that they have plundered.

In fact, the work of blocking British-funded enterprises began two years ago. At that time, it was Yao Yuan who suggested to Zhong Weiguo. A year ago, Hong Kong-funded enterprises under Chunfeng Group officially entered the market. The fight caused heavy losses to the British-funded enterprises, and the plan to transfer the blood of the local people in Hong Kong failed.

Yao Yuan's dealings with Mr. Li are because of this blocking operation.

The operation is long over.

In seven days, it will be the day of return, and the action has already been settled.

Mr. Li would not come to the door easily, and everyone even tacitly avoided meeting and contacting him.

At this time, he suddenly came to the door, obviously there was something important.

Right now, ensuring the smooth return of Hong Kong is the most important thing. The whole country is working hard for this. As one of the responsible persons, Mr. Li is duty-bound.

Not long after, Mr. Li came.

Wearing a slightly faded white shirt, gray trousers, slightly dark skin, with a gentle smile on his face, he looked like a farmer, wearing his best clothes for entering the city.

"Mr. Li." Yao Yuan got up to greet him, and asked Mr. Li to sit on the reception sofa instead of sitting in the boss chair like his subordinates.

"Mr. Yao, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything." Mr. Li said straight to the point, and Yao Yuan noticed the gloomy look between his brows and eyes, even though he was smiling.

Yao Yuan said, "Please tell me."

Yao Yuan is also duty-bound to contribute to Hong Kong's smooth return to the motherland.

Mr. Li said, "You are actively preparing for the coming financial crisis. It is really bad to disturb you at this time, but it is urgent, so I can only ask you for help."

"It is imperative." Yao Yuan did not hesitate.

The smile on Mr. Li's face gradually subsided, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Bancheng and the three major families are planning to invest 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars in the UK. We have received definite news that their investment transaction has reached a critical moment."

"I can't influence Li Bancheng's decision. Hong Kong is the world's financial center and free trade center. We can hardly do anything. I would like to ask you to help persuade the three major families. As for Li Bancheng, if he wants to leave, let him go... "

Yao Yuan's heart trembled, "I haven't received any information about this matter."

"Li Bancheng's behavior is very secretive, and I only got the exact news yesterday." Mr. Li said.

Yao Yuan fell into deep thought.

The investment of 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars has far exceeded the capabilities of Li Bancheng and the three major families. In other words, a large part of it comes from bank loans, that is, the wealth of the people of Hong Kong.

Yao Yuan even knew what Li Bancheng was planning.

Financing went to the UK to invest, and then the assets in Hong Kong were sold to complete the transfer of capital.

"So, it is very likely that Li Bancheng mortgaged the land in Central. I was relented at the beginning." Yao Yuan couldn't help but give Li Bancheng a high look.

Li Bancheng is not an ordinary person who has been able to rise and fall in the business world for decades.

At the beginning, Yu Yongan had to beat Li Bancheng to win the land in Central. Later, Yao Yuan made the decision to raise the land price and let Li Bancheng bid for it. The purpose was to take over the land in Central at a lower price after the financial crisis broke out. A piece of precious land can inflict heavy damage on Li Bancheng, killing two birds with one stone.

This strategy is based on Yao Yuan's accurate grasp of the timing of the financial crisis, but the information provided by Mr. Li at this time shows that Li Bancheng may have planned to transfer capital as early as when he was bidding for the Zhonghuan land.

Mr. Li said, "Once the three major families transfer capital abroad, it will inevitably cause panic in the market, and Hong Kong's economic stability will inevitably be affected. Mr. Yao, we will not trouble you unless we have to."

"To tell you the truth, I have a plan for Li Bancheng, but I didn't expect him to be so timid." Yao Yuan nodded slowly, "Mr. Li, I will take on this task."

Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, as long as Yao Yuan is willing to help, the loss will be greatly reduced.

There is only one goal, to ensure the smooth return of Hong Kong and to ensure the stability of Hong Kong after the return.

This stability is all-round stability, not just economic stability, but economic stability is the most important thing. Only when the economy is stable can the people's hearts be stable.

Yao Yuan understood the meaning of it.

He asked, "Mr. Li, all my funds have been used. It is impossible not to give them some sweets to convince the three major families. Can you apply for me and give me 10 billion U.S. dollars in the shortest possible time?" .”

Mr. Li didn't answer, but asked, "Can you make a phone call here?"

What he asked was naturally to call the capital.

Yao Yuan took out a satellite phone and handed it over.

In front of Yao Yuan, Mr. Li called the chief person in charge of the capital, and ended in a few words, and said, "It will be transferred to the account you designated in three days."

Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He has 30 billion US dollars in the account of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. This money is not within the scope of the company's foreign exchange autonomy. It exists as money to stabilize the base of foreign exchange reserves. This is also Yao Yuan's commitment to the country.

The matter is urgent, Yao Yuan can only ask for instructions to use one-third of it.

After sending Mr. Li away, Yao Yuan immediately called Lin Wei over, took Lin Xiaohu with him, and drove to Xu's house.

Among the three major families, the Xu family's ancestral home is Nangang, in other words, there is a fellowship with Yao Yuan, Lin Wei, and Lin Xiaohu.

Yao Yuan planned to start with the Xu family first.

The head of the Xu family is Xu Shiwei, who is in his 70s and is already the second generation.He has three sons, all business elites, which other families envy.The children of the big family are more or less infected with the problem of greed for pleasure, but the new generation of the Xu family has none of them.

In addition, Xu Shiwei also gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter ranked first, and the youngest daughter ranked last.

Except for the youngest son and daughter, all others are married, and the 40-year-old eldest son married Li Jiaxin, who is known as the most beautiful Hong Kong lady.

Li Jiaxin was also the goddess in Yao Yuan's mind...

After receiving Yao Yuan's call, Xu Shiwei waited in the living room early, not paying attention to Yao Yuan's visit.

Only the eldest son Xu Junkui and the eldest daughter-in-law Li Jiaxin are at home.

Xu Shiwei has an older brother and an older sister. After Mr. Xu passed away, the Xu family property was inherited by his elder brother. After his brother passed away in the late 80s, he inherited the Xu family property and became the head of the new generation.

Mr. Xu’s son, named Zhou, was born in the late Qing Dynasty in a fishing village in Nangang. He started a business with his father. Later, Nangang became a French colony. Xu Zhou’s business talent shined brilliantly. He started from a grocery store, managed hotels and shops, and gradually got involved in shipping. Taking advantage of France's neutral position during the war, it acquired a large number of foreign ships, and its shipping business spread all over Southeast Asia, becoming a shipping giant. After 1949, it moved to Hong Kong and developed into the current Xu family.

What is often mentioned by the older generation in Nangang is Xu Zhou's feat of reclamation in the 20s.

In the central urban area at that time, half of the urban area belonged to Xu Zhou...

Xu Zhou has nothing to do with a patriotic businessman, but he is not a rebellious wealthy foreigner like Li Bancheng. This is why Yao Yuan chose to talk to Xu's family first.

Seeing his father arranging his clothes from time to time, Xu Junkui was surprised and said, "Daddy, who is this Yao Yuan, he deserves your condescension and waiting."

Xu Shiwei looked at Li Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin can go and do your work."

"Master, I'll go to the kitchen." Li Jiaxin stood up immediately, as it was approaching lunch time, the master might have guests for dinner, Xu Shiwei nodded in satisfaction when she said so.

Seeing that his father was silent, Xu Junkui asked again, "Daddy, is he from China?"

Xu Shiwei glanced at his eldest son and said, "People from my hometown."

"People from my hometown..." Xu Junkui thought he was a relative of the older generation, and suddenly lost interest.

At this time, Xu Shiwei said, "Yu Yongan's boss."

"Hmm... um?" Xu Junkui suspected he had misheard, "Who? Yu Yongan's boss?"

Yao Yuan has never dealt directly with the ten richest families in Hong Kong, nor has he revealed his identity in public. Everyone will ignore him because he is too young.Not to mention Xu Junkui, there are many second-generation rich people who don't know Yao Yuan.

But Xu Shiwei knew some secrets. Yu Yongan was able to become one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong in just a few years, and he had seemingly inexhaustible money. He fought against several major real estate groups including Li Bancheng by himself. Standing was Yao Yuan, a mysterious and invisible rich man. No one knew how much money he had.

Xu Junkui's mind is buzzing, Yu Yongan is so famous, no one in Hong Kong does not know him, he beats Li Bancheng, invincible in the stock market, 80.00% of the mainland's clothing exports and half of Hong Kong's clothing trade are in his hands.

Who is the boss behind such a person?

hometown people?

Nangang people?

How is it possible? I have never heard of such a person from Nangang. In the past entire century in Nangang, there has been such a top rich family as the Xu family.

Xu Junkui immediately thought of the development of Nangang in the past few years. The Xu family has a homeland complex and has always kept in touch with Nangang. In recent years, they have donated money to their hometown to build schools, so they know the situation in Nangang.

In particular, Nangang's economic development has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, which has attracted the attention of the Xu family. The Xu family intends to return to Nangang to invest, and Xu Junkui is responsible for this matter.

Xu Junkui knew that this might be the reason why his father asked him to receive guests together.

However, Xu Junkui couldn't figure out that there was a boss behind Yu Yongan, and it was a boss from Nangang.

As if it popped out of nowhere.

who can that be?
