Chapter 646: Crisis Erupts
In the evening, Huo Xiaoyue came over, and when she came over, she didn't forget to bring a gift, which was considered a bribe to her future mother-in-law, coupled with her noble and generous temperament, she quickly won Chen Li's approval, talking and laughing, like a family, so intimate.
Lu Shaohua didn't break his relationship with Huo Xiaoyue, and treated it according to the attitude of a friend's visit, but Chen Li was not stupid, she saw clues from Huo Xiaoyue's demeanor, and quickly confirmed that Huo Xiaoyue was one of the daughters-in-law, and she was immediately satisfied.
As a parent, Chen Li's idea is very simple, that is, her son has a career outside, and then there are a few more grandchildren for him, so that she is satisfied, as for how many wives her son has outside, Chen Li doesn't mind at all, on the contrary, her son has more wives, she can have more grandchildren, and it's too late to be happy.
It's a pity that Huo Xiaoyue didn't stay in Lu Shaohua's villa for a long time, after dinner, and after taking a look at Qin Sichen, she left in a hurry and returned to the Huo family's villa. Of course, Huo Xiaoyue left with a smile, which shows how good her mood is.
Huo Xiaoyue left, but Lu Shaohua's villa did not calm down because of this, and welcomed a guest again, in fact, it is a guest, and it can be said that it is not a guest, because this 'guest' is none other than Lu Shaohua's uncle - Lu Chang.
Lu Chang has been working in Hong Kong for a while, and although there was pressure from all sides when he first came, but with Lu Shaohua's nephew in Hong Kong, and with the help of Huo Yingdong and others, he was still able to successfully complete the task, which can be regarded as a great contribution.
Originally, after Hong Kong's return, Lu Chang should have been idle, but not long after the return, he encountered the Asian financial crisis, and Lu Chang had more official business to deal with, and he didn't find time to come to Lu Shaohua's villa until now.
In Hong Kong, there are not many people who know that Lu Chang and Lu Shaohua are uncles and nephews, Lu Chang did not come out publicly in order to avoid suspicion, and he was able to come over today completely because of his sister-in-law, that is, Chen Li, if Chen Li hadn't come to Hong Kong, Lu Chang would not have come here, after all, his identity is too sensitive.
"Xiaohua, you are everyone's father, don't run around outside all day, keep the house." Lu Chang said in the tone of an elder.
Now it's different, a few years ago, when Lu Shaohua was a child, no one could discipline him, not to mention that now Lu Shaohua is an adult, and his family is using hundreds of billions of dollars as a unit, which is not something that Lu Chang can teach.
But Lu Chang is Lu Shaohua's uncle after all, usually Lu Chang can't find an excuse to teach Lu Shaohua, a nephew, but now it's different, Lu Shaohua gave birth to a daughter, what a good excuse, Lu Chang is not willing to let it go.
"......" What else could Lu Shaohua say, he could only smile bitterly, nodded helplessly, and accepted Lu Chang's lesson.
Seeing that Lu Shaohua didn't squeak to refute, Lu Chang smiled lightly, and secretly exclaimed 'happy' in his heart, and then changed his words before he said. "I heard that Xie Tianyou was driven away by you?"
"Oh?" Lu Shaohua frowned, very questioning, and asked tentatively. "You don't have a good impression of Xie Tianyou?"
From Lu Chang's tone, Lu Shaohua heard the sound outside the strings.
"There is no good or bad, this is the case in officialdom, if you have a big position and a strong background, you can be superior." Lu Chang said with emotion.
This kind of thing, Lu Chang will not say it in front of outsiders, Wei You will only say it in front of Lu Shaohua, it can be regarded as a private word, and at the same time, it is also an unspoken rule of officialdom, which means that the energy behind it determines everything.
"Huh!" Lu Shaohua understood, smiled, and said. "I don't even know why the people above would send such people to Hong Kong and use the tone of orders to make me do things."
Thinking of Xie Tianyou, Lu Shaohua is angry, not to mention anything else, just Lu Shaohua's current net worth is not something that he Xie Tianyou, the deputy director of the Financial Authority, can order, not to mention that Lu Shaohua's identity is far more than a businessman.
"I also heard that the people of the Xie family have already called you to apologize, so forget about this matter." Speaking of this, Lu Chang paused and said again. "The relationship between the Xie family and the Zeng family is not bad, don't fall out because of a little thing."
Lu Chang's meaning is obvious, he is reminding Lu Shaohua not to stiffen the relationship between the two families because of a trivial matter, but it is only limited to reminding that with the current Lu Shaohua, no one can hinder what he wants to do, even if it is Zeng Jianguo, he can't hinder what Lu Shaohua wants to do.
Lu Shaohua is not a person who likes to bite his tail and keep going, not to mention that the matter has calmed down, it is over, Lu Shaohua has long been out of his mind, if Lu Chang hadn't mentioned it at this time, maybe he would have forgotten it.
"Uncle, don't worry, the past is the past, I won't pursue it anymore."
"That's good."
…… Lu Chang left and returned to his residence, and Lu Shaohua's villa fell silent again, and it seemed unusually quiet under the dark starry sky.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Lu Shaohua got up early, had breakfast, left the villa again, and rushed to the command post, waiting for the opening of the Hong Kong stock market.
Hong Kong's attack began on October 20, that is, today, such an important day, Lu Shaohua will be at the scene no matter what, even if he can't help much, he should come over and feel the atmosphere and give Li Yunqing a little encouragement.
Soon after, Hong Kong's stock market opened as scheduled, and as soon as it opened, the chart representing the Hang Seng Index fluctuated, with a small decline at first, and then slowly evolved and began to fall slightly larger.
fell, which means that the attack is coming, and there is no need for Lu Shaohua to give an order, Li Yunqing and they also know how to do it, absorb the goods, suck in all the stocks that are thrown out, and take them for themselves, which is also maintaining a balance.
But the problem is that there are too many stocks to sell so much that they can't be bought quickly, and some people can't sell them, so they can only sell them at a low price, which eventually leads to the fall of the Hang Seng Index.
Originally, Lu Shaohua had no intention of keeping the Hang Seng Index from falling, but now the absorption is just to prevent the speed of the decline from going too fast, but it will not let Li Yunqing and them bear much pressure.
"You can buy as much as you can."
This is Lu Shaohua's earlier order, which means that they can buy as much as they want, and the market will buy as many orders as they want, no matter what the price is, whether it is high or low, all of them will be purchased, which is a bit of a sweep.
At the same time, the Hang Seng Index began to fall, and there was panic in Hong Kong, especially the CEOs of those listed companies, who were even more nervous, because the decline of the Hang Seng Index had affected their company's stock price, and the response was falling.
However, as members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the CEOs of those listed companies did not panic like others, but immediately took out the membership card of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which was originally thought to be just a status marker, and came to Phoenix Bank.
As early as yesterday afternoon, Fok Ying-tung, in his capacity as chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, announced a piece of news, the content of which was very simple: In order to cope with the financial turmoil sweeping Hong Kong, the chairman of the Phoenix Group will spend $200 billion to provide loans to all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to ensure that the companies of the members will not go bankrupt.
As soon as this news came out, the membership card of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce became a life charm, a certificate that can save their own company, which is also something that all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce did not expect.
What does $200 billion mean?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is just a number, but in the eyes of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, it is far from being as simple as imagined.
For a long time, the outside world only thought that the market value of the Phoenix Group was only 200 billion US dollars, but now it is good, Lu Shaohua took out 200 billion US dollars to provide loans to the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is much beyond everyone's imagination.
You must know that market value is completely different from cash, market value refers to the number of all the business and liquidity in the company, but now Lu Shaohua has been able to come up with 200 billion US dollars in cash to provide loans to others, which means that the market value of Phoenix Group is far more than 200 billion US dollars.
However, the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are happy, because of the loan provided by Lu Shaohua, they can survive this crisis, but what about others, others only hate not being able to enter the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time regret it, they are more helpless.
However, there is no way, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also has regulations for accepting members, the threshold is very high, and it can only be entered through layers of audits.
The business world suddenly became unstable, and the members belonging to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were smiling in tension, while others were nervous and bitter in pain, and there were two completely different expressions.
When the news of the loan provided by the Phoenix Bank came out, many media flocked to interview the person in charge of the Phoenix Bank, and also pointed out whether the Phoenix Bank was unfair in providing loans to members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, rather than facing the whole of Hong Kong.
Regarding this question, Lu Shaohua did not realize it, nor did he explain how the person in charge of Phoenix Bank answered, fortunately, the person in charge of Phoenix Bank was very flexible and said categorically: "Our Phoenix Group is one of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and our chairman has allocated thousands of funds to provide loans, and the number is limited, and it is impossible to face the whole of Hong Kong." ”
One of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has dealt with it, and I have to say that this is a statement that does not offend people. As a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, of course, it is for the sake of its own people, and the funds are limited, which is just a beautiful excuse.
All of a sudden, the media turned off and could no longer find an excuse to target Phoenix Bank, and could only praise Phoenix Group for its great contribution to Hong Kong.
