Chapter 644: Before the War

Half a month passed quickly, and the time had come to the 19th of October, on this day, Lu Shaohua came to the Huo family's villa again, and asked Huo Yingdong to gather several directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, as well as Feng Lao, to also participate in this meeting.

Lu Shaohua has never liked nonsense, seeing that everyone has arrived, Lu Shaohua was not polite, and went straight to the point. "The situation in Hong Kong is not optimistic now, and in the past few days, there has been a lot of extra money in the stock market, and we are almost about to move to Hong Kong."

According to memory, Lu Shaohua knew that on October 20, the 10th anniversary of the "Black Monday" tragedy on Wall Street in the United States. On this very day, the Hong Kong stock market began to fall.

On October 21 and 22, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell sharply for two consecutive days, with a cumulative decline of nearly 1,200 points, or about 9%, which was described as a small stock market crash by local market participants. On the 23rd, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell to 9766.7 points, a decline of 1871 points, and the Hang Seng Index closed at 10426.3 points, down 1211.5 points, down 10.4%, and some people even think that the decline on this day can be compared with Black Monday in 1987.

The market value of Hong Kong's listed companies lost HK$433.5 billion in one day on the 23rd, a decrease of HK$1,542 billion, or 35%, compared with HK$4,335.4 billion at the peak of market value in August. At the same time, Hong Kong's top 10 richest people are estimated to have lost more than HK$210 billion. The Hang Seng Index continued to plummet, with a sharp decline and huge losses, shocking the world.

"The intelligence collected from all sides is indeed like this, and I think they have been working for the past few days." Feng Lao is now the deputy director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and he is an official appointed by the domestic side, and he is more or less influential when he speaks.

In fact, Feng Lao has so much to do, Lu Shaohua has always been influential in the circle of the high-level of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and what he said can convince everyone without confirmation, but with Feng Lao coming out to confirm, it saves a lot of trouble.

"Don't say anything else, I am the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, here, let me make a statement first, some time ago, I have made all preparations, as long as the disaster breaks out, I can do it at any time." Huo Yingdong responded seriously.

Since the last time Lu Shaohua summoned everyone, everyone has already moved, returned the funds, deployed their own companies, and then freed up some funds to acquire Hong Kong stocks, which can be said to be fully prepared.

"I'm ready for everything, too." Li Jiacheng also smiled and said.

………… The same is true for others, after Huo Yingdong and Li Kacheng expressed their positions, they also expressed their positions one after another, indicating that they were fully prepared.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua was very satisfied, smiled lightly, and said. "Then there is nothing to say, according to what was said last time, I will lead the way, everyone will escort me, and strive to keep Hong Kong."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in awe, nodded solemnly, and Huo Yingdong came out to express his position on behalf of everyone. "Don't worry, this battle will definitely be a beautiful victory."

"Hmm." Lu Shaohua was also full of confidence, nodded, and then changed his words and said. "As for the loan of Phoenix Bank, I have prepared it here, and the window will be officially opened tomorrow morning, and I also ask Master Huo to tell the members below that he will take out a loan with the membership card of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."

"No problem, I'll let the news out later." Fok Yingdong said.

"Okay."

…… A simple meeting will end with Lu Shaohua's last 'good', Lu Shaohua did not stay, left the Huo family villa, went straight to the general command post, and met with Liu Mingzhang and them, which can be regarded as a mobilization meeting before the disaster broke out.

"Our purpose is obvious, that is, the Hong Kong stock market, once someone sells, just suck me in, well, of course, we are only responsible for absorbing large orders, small orders should not be stirred up, keep it for others." Lu Shaohua's opening is the main topic, without any foreshadowing.

"Understood." Li Yunqing was the first to stand up and take a stand.

"Haha!"

Liu Mingzhang didn't make a statement in a hurry, but laughed, and then said something thoughtlessly. "It's time for the show to begin."

Yes, in Liu Mingzhang's view, the battle in Hong Kong is a good show. After all, Hong Kong is the base camp of the Phoenix Group, and Lu Shaohua has prepared a large amount of funds for them to work hard, and this situation is not a drama but something to do.

"I hope that people will sell more now, so that if I buy it, Phoenix Group will occupy a leading role in Hong Kong and become a giant group that can be said to be the same." Li Zongen also spoke.

Li Zongen is not wrong at all, if more Hong Kong stocks are acquired, the Phoenix Group will really become a giant group that is said to be the same, and the turmoil in the stock market will look at the face of the Phoenix Group, and if the Phoenix Group sells Hong Kong stocks in large quantities, then the Hong Kong stock market will definitely plummet.

Lu Shaohua didn't think so, but all along, Lu Shaohua didn't say it, and now that Li Zongen said it, Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, changed the topic, and said. "Okay, don't be complacent, how are the pre-war preparations and funding going?"

Originally, Lu Shaohua shouldn't have asked this, but at this time, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but ask out loud, the reason is very simple, there is no problem with the pre-war preparations, half a month of preparation is enough, but the funds are different, whether the funds that were integrated in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore last time are in place, Lu Shaohua still does not know.

There is a more important amount, Lu Shaohua called Li Zhijie half a month ago and asked him to transfer 400 to 500 billion US dollars.

"I'll start with that." Li Yunqing looked at everyone, and saw that Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen didn't mean to be the first to speak, so they had to stand up and speak. "The last campaign is half over, and the results of the proceeds came out on October 4th, and the final proceeds and principal are counted together, totaling $373.6 billion."

"$373.6 billion?" Lu Shaohua frowned, and without waiting for Li Yunqing to answer, he turned his head to Liu Mingzhang and asked. "Brother Zhijie's funds have been transferred?"

For the figure of $373.6 billion, Lu Shaohua had already been mentally prepared, because it was not over at that time, and Li Yunqing had already estimated that the income and cost of this time would only exceed $380 billion, and now it is a difference of more than $600 million, and the gap is not too big.

"It's been transferred, and it arrived yesterday." Speaking of this, Liu Mingzhang paused before continuing. "$46.8 billion has been withdrawn, less than $50 billion."

"Four two hundred and four hundred million dollars?" Lu Shaohua frowned again, and secretly calculated in his heart that in addition to the $200 billion transferred to the Phoenix Bank for loans, there were $220.4 billion, which was enough to deal with the Hong Kong stock market, but it was almost enough. "It's enough to reach this number, if it's not enough, it should be close to the end by then, well, when it's near the end, there should be a surplus of loans from Phoenix Bank, which can be drawn from there."

When Lu Shaohua decided to transfer $200 billion to Phoenix Bank to provide loans to members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Lu Shaohua had already secretly calculated that $200 billion was only a lot more, and if it weren't for the sake of insurance, Lu Shaohua would only transfer $150 billion at most.

"Okay." Li Yunqing responded, and then said. "Now that the group has stabilized, although the liquidity is not very large, one or two hundred billion US dollars can still be withdrawn, and there should be no problem."

The Asian financial turmoil has a great impact on the Phoenix Group, but don't forget that the Phoenix Group is originally a multinational group, and its products are aimed at the global market.

Lu Shaohua didn't squeak in a hurry, and muttered for a long time before he said. "Regarding Hong Kong's affairs, I will leave it to you, you can do it, if the funds are not enough, find a way to withdraw from the Phoenix Bank and the group, as long as you can keep Hong Kong."

Speaking of funds, Lu Shaohua had a headache, he had planned to transfer 500 billion US dollars at that time, but now it is good, it is more than 70 billion US dollars, so that Lu Shaohua does not know what to do for a while, but now it seems that there should be no problem in dismantling the east and west.

"I don't dare to say 100 percent, but there are still 8 or 90 percent." Li Yunqing immediately gave a guarantee.

Lu Shaohua smiled, nodded, then waved his hand and changed the topic again. "Let's talk about another thing."

"Oh?"

Whether it is Li Yunqing, Liu Mingzhang, or Li Zongen, they are all stunned, originally thought that Lu Shaohua came here this time just to talk about the Hong Kong stock market, but now it is good, Lu Shaohua seems to have something not to hide about the Hong Kong stock market.

In fact, Lu Shaohua does have something to hide that has nothing to do with Hong Kong, but this matter is not a big matter, and the relationship is not very big, so Lu Shaohua has been hiding it and has not said it.

Now it's different, it's a crucial moment, if Lu Shaohua doesn't say it again, I'm afraid that there won't be much time left for Li Yunqing and them, and then they will miss this opportunity.

That is an opportunity to make money, how could Lu Shaohua miss it.
