Chapter 991: The Source of the Outbreak

Originally, Lu Shaohua's mood was not bad, but Li Shangkui's words made Lu Shaohua's mood extremely bad, for no other reason, precisely because there was a commercial spy within the Phoenix Group, and the status of this commercial spy in the Phoenix Group was not low, but it was a middle and high-level manager.

It's also to blame this commercial spy for bad luck, Lu Shaohua was attacked not long ago, once Lu Shaohua is in the Phoenix Group, then the defense level of the entire Phoenix Group will be raised by more than two levels, and now Lu Shaohua is in the Phoenix Group, forty bodyguards, ten members of the Phantom Organization, and the security department of the Phoenix Group are strictly guarded, but at this time, they crashed in, no different from looking for death.

"Check it out and see if it's the first time you've done it or if it's been dormant for a long time!" Lu Shaohua directly gave an order to Li Shangkui.

Don't look at Lu Shaohua's words, there is not much difference, but the deep meaning is very different, if the middle and senior management is doing it for the first time, then Lu Shaohua sees the other party as having been recently bought and betrayed the Phoenix Group.

And if it has been dormant for a long time, it means that many of the trade secrets of the Phoenix Group have been betrayed by him more than once, and in that case, Lu Shaohua will have to change the plan that has been originally planned.

However, Lu Shaohua had a hunch that the middle and senior managers should have just been bribed, because the people who could enter the Phoenix Group could only enter after being investigated clearly, even the lowest ordinary employees were also subject to investigation.

As for the middle and senior managers, the investigation of them is extremely strict, it can be said that their ancestors have been turned over for eighteen generations, if there is a little problem in the middle, then they will never be promoted, or directly out of the Phoenix Group.

It is precisely because Lu Shaohua is very confident in the investigation of the intelligence network that he feels that the spy has just been bought, of course, before the results of the investigation come out, Lu Shaohua will not easily draw conclusions.

Soon, Li Shangkui came back, it seems that the investigation has a result, and the facts have proved that it is indeed the investigation that has a result, Li Shangkui used the most direct method - interrogation, under the interrogation of Li Shangkui and other veterans, the result will be known in less than a few minutes.

The reason why it only took a few minutes was that the spy was a novice, had just been bribed, and had not undergone any special training, so Li Shangkui was able to get the results so quickly.

Just bought... This is the result brought back by Li Shangkui, and told Lu Shaohua that he had called Chen Guobang to contact him, and the next matter was taken over by the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network.

Li Shangkui's task is to be responsible for Lu Shaohua's security, not to investigate anything, and now he has got the desired result, as for the spy to say other information, it will be up to Chen Guobang and them to take over.

"Let the eldest brother find out, don't ask me after you find out, just destroy it!" Lu Shaohua's voice was very flat, but with a strong murderous aura, before it was over, after a pause, Lu Shaohua continued. "As for the spy, send him to a no-man's land in Africa, and let him fend for himself."

Originally, Lu Shaohua wanted to kill the middle and senior managers directly, but after thinking about it, if they can mix with the middle and senior managers, they must have contributed a lot to the group and made a lot of contributions, for the meritorious ministers of the group, Lu Shaohua always has a little gratitude in his heart, but if Lu Shaohua wants to let him go, it is almost impossible, throw him into a no-man's land in Africa, as for whether he can survive, it depends on himself.

Li Shangkui didn't squeak, just nodded, and then left.

Now the Phoenix Group is chaotic enough, but there is such a thing, which really makes Lu Shaohua's mood extremely bad, but soon, Lu Shaohua adjusted his mentality, and focused on work and didn't care about other things.

…… Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, and the global situation has become more and more tense as time goes by, but it has not led to the outbreak of storms, if there are storms and waves, it is only a symptom.

However, Lu Shaohua knew that it was the emergence of this sign that meant that an unprecedented financial storm was about to break out, but it had not really broken out yet, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry, what he had to do now was very simple, to improve the defense capability of the Phoenix Group to the extreme.

The Phoenix Group has also been doing this, Lu Shaohua was attacked, and the Rothschild family attacked, causing the Phoenix Group to retreat and the industry to shrink significantly, but Lu Shaohua came back, and the Phoenix Group came back to life, and now it has basically recovered its former glory.

However, after all, it is a group that has just been hit hard, so naturally it cannot be compared with the Phoenix Group in a calm state, but in Lu Shaohua's opinion, he still has time, and I believe that when the financial turmoil really breaks out, the Phoenix Group will be able to recover to its past glory, or even go further.

On this day, Lu Shaohua suddenly summoned Liu Mingzhang and others to let them express their views on the current situation, and Liu Mingzhang and they looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Mingzhang opened his mouth and said lightly. "Now that the winds have changed, the global economy is sluggish, and many lower- and middle-income investors in the United States are unable to repay their loans and have begun to sell off their properties."

After a pause, Liu Mingzhang continued. "Start selling real estate, when the number reaches a critical point, housing prices plummet, many investors will go bankrupt, investment banks will have a large number of non-performing loans that cannot be recovered, and they will also be unlucky, and then the subprime loan crisis will be formed, and then, the financial storm will not be far from the outbreak."

Yes, this is the subprime loan crisis, the bank does not care whether the buyer has the ability to repay the loan, and even when the buyer is unable to repay the loan within the time limit, the bank will still issue loans, and when the subprime loan crisis is formed, the bank is unable to recover the loan, then the bank will not be able to issue other loans, and at that time, there will be no capital turnover in the production field, and a large number of enterprises will go bankrupt, and the financial turmoil will develop into an economic crisis, which will affect the whole world.

However, Lu Shaohua knows that with the ability of the United States, there is no problem with the ability to dig the east wall and make up the west wall, and even if the subprime loan crisis is formed, the United States will not be unable to hold on so quickly, at least for a while.

According to Lu Shaohua's memory, the real prelude to the storm was not until June, when the fund of the fifth largest investment bank in the United States suffered losses due to its involvement in the subprime mortgage bond market, causing the U.S. stock market to plummet again, and that was when the prelude to the storm began.

June was a source of losses, as the funds of the fifth-largest investment bank in the United States were involved in subprime mortgage loans, resulting in a series of butterfly effects, and by August 6, the tenth largest mortgage lender in the United States, the American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation, filed for bankruptcy protection in the court, becoming another large mortgage lender in the United States to file for bankruptcy after the New Century Financial Corporation.

Two days later, on August 8, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced that its two funds had collapsed due to the subprime mortgage crisis.

A day later, on August 9, BNP Paribas announced the suspension of the trading of its three funds involved in the U.S. mortgage business; The European Central Bank announced 94.8 billion euros in funding for banks – the subprime mortgage crisis spilled over into other Western markets. The move sent European stock markets tumbling.

Four days later, on August 13, Mizuho Group, the parent company of Mizuho Bank, the second largest bank in the capital, announced a loss of 600 million yuan related to the subprime mortgage in the United States. Korean banks have suffered losses due to the subprime mortgage storm in the United States.

Two days later, on August 15, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the United States, still hovering between rising and falling in the morning, finally turned downward, falling below 13,000 points and closing at its lowest point since April of that year. The S&P 500 has also fallen to the point where it has wiped out its earnings this year.

In just a few days, the crisis erupted and spread across the globe, including all of Europe and Asia, and the storm was getting stronger.

However, it is only May, and the storm has just formed, although many keen speculators have realized that the danger is coming, but not too many people have done it, at this time, it undoubtedly gave Liu Mingzhang a little more time for them to lay out.

"There is still nearly a month to go, and you must complete the layout within a month, not more than June." Lu Shaohua gave the death order.

As early as a few days after Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong from Africa for recuperation, Lu Shaohua handed them over careful data and dates, and Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing, who had read the data, naturally knew that Lu Shaohua's words contained deeper meanings.

Jokes aside, June is the beginning of the stormstorm, and if the layout can't be completed in June, then the later layout will not be needed.

"Now the layout is nearing completion, and there is no problem with the task." Liu Mingzhang swore and said.

After reading the date, how can they not understand the urgency of time, so when Liu Mingzhang and they began to lay out, they more or less increased their efforts to invest in the financial market, so far, four-fifths of the funds have been invested, and the remaining one-fifth, with nearly a month, is enough.

"Hmm." Lu Shaohua still trusted Liu Mingzhang and them, so naturally he didn't say much, so he changed the conversation and asked. "What about the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the country?"

It has been a few months since Lu Shaohua and Huo Yingdong greeted them, and I am afraid that they are ready, withdraw funds, and prepare to make money with the Phoenix Group.

"We're getting them in." This time it was not Liu Mingzhang who spoke, but Li Yunqing who spoke.

"It's pretty much it." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

Then, Lu Shaohua didn't squeak, but fell silent and fell into contemplation, and after a long time, Lu Shaohua moved his mouth, intending to say something crucial.
