Chapter 539: Tangled
It can be said that Soros and the "Quantum Fund" have been charging forward every time, but they are just carrying a false name and infamy, and most of the benefits have been grabbed by Feiyuan. Even Soros is kept in the dark, he only knows that the "Quantum Fund" is nominally led by himself, but in fact it has already changed hands, and more than half of the shares are held by a little-known investment company, and Soros believes that this company must have various inextricable relationships with Feiyuan and Zhu Jianjun.
Although Soros does not quite understand why Feiyuan does not directly hold shares and become the controlling majority shareholder of the "Quantum Fund", but adopts such an obscure way, this situation is not uncommon in the world, including the United States. There are many people with all kinds of personalities in the world, some want to be famous and admired by the world, and some are unwilling to reveal their identities, or for various reasons and considerations, they are only willing to hide behind the scenes and use some special means to control their companies and assets. This group of people is little known, but they control an astonishing amount of wealth, far from being comparable to those on the so-called "rich list". As far as Soros knows, a lot of the funds in the "Quantum Fund" come from these people.
However, Soros didn't know that Leng Binghan had a large number of investment companies in addition to Feiyuan, which seemed to be inconspicuous, but controlled a huge amount of money that was not inferior to the "quantum fund". It is these companies, with their strong financial resources and ferocious style, quietly hidden behind the "quantum fund", not noticed by the world, but acting and attacking more boldly and sharply, old and vicious, not only to cramp but also to peel the skin, repeatedly ravaged, every bite, will be in those unlucky countries in the financial market of a large piece of meat, grab the maximum benefits, in many cases, the income is even several times that of the "quantum fund", really make a lot of money, And because it is scattered among more than a dozen seemingly completely unrelated investment companies, it is not too eye-catching at all, even Soros will only think that it is the work of international investors who follow the trend.
This is what Leng Binghan has always advocated: "Earn secretly, don't shoot guns!" ”
The benefits of this are naturally self-evident, you know, the wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Feiyuan has been too sharp and invincible over the years, every time he shoots, he has never returned empty-handed, he has made a lot of money, and he is in the limelight in the international financial market, and it seems to have become a banner and weather vane. But shooting a shot, especially earning money in the international financial market, is like walking on the cusp of the storm and dancing on the tip of a knife, and it is not a good thing to be too public.
Moreover, Feiyuan has already completed the process of accumulation of primitive capital, sniping at the financial markets of other countries, causing the collapse of other countries' economies, the chaos of the market, the instant dissolution of the country's wealth, and even the change of regime. Once this kind of "notoriety" is established, it is difficult for Feiyuan to enter these countries for development in the future, and it is completely unfavorable to the implementation of Feiyuan's global development strategy.
Zhu Jianjun naturally knew these things by heart, so when Leng Binghan first proposed this development idea, he agreed with it very much. As Feiyuan's industry continues to expand to all corners of the world and various industries, and successfully establish a perfect development framework, the profits secretly grabbed have not decreased in the slightest, and after the successful sniping of Mexico, Leng Binghan's assets hidden outside Feiyuan have exceeded the actual total assets of Feiyuan's company, breaking through the trillion dollar mark, Zhu Jianjun's net worth is also rising, and he is naturally happy, and even bought himself a private luxury plane to celebrate.
However, since the successful sniping of the Mexican peso in 1994, Leng Binghan has not made any major moves, which disappointed Zhu Jianjun, who had always been full of expectations. This is not only for the disappointment that his assets have not grown rapidly, but also for the long-lost excitement and sense of success.
Since Zhu Jianjun's status has become higher and higher, more and more attention, and the scale of the enterprise has become larger and larger, all kinds of elite talents under his command have gathered, and many times they do not even need Zhu Jianjun's instructions, and the work has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the results are extremely remarkable. This made Zhu Jianjun happy, but he couldn't help but feel more or less lost in his heart. Because in his opinion, the current Feiyuan has already entered the development track, and it seems that he does not need to control it at all.
Sometimes, Zhu Jianjun even deeply misses the days when he first built Feiyuan, although those days were tense and difficult, and he was busy all day long, but they were very fulfilling. Watching the development of the enterprise grow day by day, watching one plan after another become a reality in his own hands, Zhu Jianjun is very excited and excited. That sense of accomplishment is not something that can be replaced by more money.
Zhu Jianjun has been looking forward to Leng Binghan's new "moves", but every time he talks about it, Leng Binghan always tells him that the time has not come. It wasn't until a few years ago that he finally got the plan to snipe the baht that Leng Binghan came up with, and the ecstasy was naturally overflowing.
However, when he carefully read this extremely confidential plan, he couldn't help but be stunned.
This is not to say that the whole plan is bad, on the contrary, this plan can be said to be extremely perfect, not only for the international situation has made a bold and reasonable prediction, but also in many operational links, it has been very detailed, even beyond the previous plan. The funds that Leng Binghan needed to mobilize exceeded $500 billion for the first time, a scale that had never been seen before, and it made it clear that this was definitely an unprecedented "big battle," which made Zhu Jianjun even more excited.
Not to mention that this plan is carefully customized by the wisdom of the man he respects like a god, even if it is made by others, with Zhu Jianjun's experience and vision in the financial market for so many years, the feasibility is extremely high.
During the boom of the 90s of the 20th century, Asia was recognized by the world as a huge emerging market for the new millennium. These countries or regions grew rapidly from the 1960s to the 1980s of the 20th century, but before that they were only developing countries or regions dominated by agriculture and light industry. They have taken advantage of the opportunity of transferring labor-intensive industries from developed countries in the West to developing countries, attracted foreign capital and technology, made use of their local labor advantages to adjust their economic development strategies in a timely manner, and rapidly embarked on the road of developed countries or regions, thus becoming one of the economic locomotives in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.
However, this development model has left many drawbacks, and relying too much on international capital has become a hidden concern for the economy. At that time, Thailand, like many Asian countries, began to borrow a large number of short- and medium-term foreign loans from overseas banks and financial institutions, and its external debt was as high as US$79 billion. Beneath the surface of prosperity, Thailand has built many empty, shiny office buildings. South Korea, one of the four Asian tigers, has established an annual production capacity of 5 million cars, which is 10 times the capacity of the domestic automobile market at that time.
This hidden danger has been pointed out by people of insight a few years ago, but the vast majority of people have been intoxicated by this superficial prosperity, believing that it is nothing more than unfounded fears. The rapid development of more than ten years has also made more people forgetful. And in this context, Leng Binghan was able to come up with such a bold plan with a sharp point, which made Zhu Jianjun have to be admired.
If the scenario predicted in the scenario turns out to be true, it is not a complete count that the profit from this investment will be much greater than the previous two sniping pounds and Mexico combined. Of course, the damage caused to the whole of Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia is unprecedented. Just looking at this plan, Zhu Jianjun can even imagine the miserable scene after the storm.
The losses suffered by countries, including Thailand, are far from tens of billions of dollars, but also almost the collapse of the entire financial market and order. More than ten years of development and struggle have been in vain overnight, and all of them have been married to others.
However, Zhu Jianjun did not feel uncomfortable or guilty at all, because he really did not have a good impression of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, which are countries with pro-American governments. On weekdays, relying on the rapid economic development and the affluent life of the people, they are dizzy and arrogant, and they look very remarkable, and when the critical moment comes, they jump out and shout at the Chinese government to add to the obstruction. At this time, it is very necessary to take the opportunity to teach them a lesson, so that the wealth they have accumulated for more than ten years will be wasted overnight.
However, what Zhu Jianjun could not understand was that in this cold plan, it was not only to deal with such annoying countries as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, but also to not let go of Hong Kong, which was about to return to the motherland, but also instructed the "Quantum Fund" to take advantage of a big victory after defeating Thailand, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries, and to take advantage of the law of interaction between the exchange rate, the stock market, and the futures market to speculate on a large scale.
Of course, Zhu Jianjun knows that not to mention the super economic strength of those hidden investment companies, even if it is just a "quantum fund" and a large amount of international funds, Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves are completely vulnerable. Coupled with the huge influx of hundreds of billions of dollars, Hong Kong can only be slaughtered, almost without the slightest ability to protect itself, just like a naked beauty, with her legs spread, waiting for it only without the slightest doubt.
Under the violent impact of such a huge amount of money, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index will surely fall sharply, and trillions of market capitalization will evaporate or be lost. At the same time, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar is falling rapidly, and major banks will be run by the public. The financial crisis will not only cause the stock market to plummet, but the Hong Kong property market will also suffer a heavy blow all the way down, and property prices will plummet, which will make many property owners become "losers". As a result of the "negative wealth effect," investment and consumption will shrink rapidly, and the economy will deflation. Many companies have closed down or laid off employees, causing the unemployment rate in Hong Kong to rise sharply, and the entire Hong Kong economy will be shrouded in gloom.
Of course, Zhu Jianjun can also foresee that the mainland government will not sit idly by and ignore this, and the final collision will definitely be between the mainland government and the "quantum fund" and a large amount of international funds. Why did Leng Binghan, who had always been calm and meticulous and determined, do this, and what kind of medicine was he selling in the gourd?
Zhu Jianjun is not a very patriotic person, but as a native Chinese who has lived in Hong Kong for so many years, it is really a little unbearable and unwilling for him to sit back and watch this beautiful Oriental Pearl fall into such a miserable situation.
But since Leng Binghan decided to do this, Zhu Jianjun had no way to make himself go against his intentions, so he had to accept it without hesitation and strictly implement it.
No matter how large the scale of Feiyuan company is, no matter how much capital there is, and its influence in the international arena is incomparable, no matter how beautiful his president is, he is admired by thousands of people, but in his bones, Zhu Jianjun has always positioned himself as a cold subordinate, just a "loyal servant" who takes care of assets and enterprises for Leng Binghan. Without Leng Binghan, there would be no all this of himself, in his heart, he was only grateful to Leng Binghan, he didn't dare, and he never had any other thoughts.
The layout is laid down, but Zhu Jianjun has always been very unhappy in his heart, especially when he gradually saw that completely according to the cold plan, the Thai baht was sold by the "quantum fund" and a large number of international funds, as well as a large number of investment companies hidden in the shadows, the Thai government had to use all its strength, and even under the premise that the foreign exchange reserves had been exhausted, it borrowed to defend the Thai baht, and fell into the trap set by Leng Binghan in advance step by step, and a financial storm that swept the whole of Asia was about to form, and Zhu Jianjun's deep guilt and self-blame became more and more serious, this kind of contradictory heart and thought confrontation made him sit upright and restless, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
At this time, the mainland government warmly extended an invitation to him through official channels, inviting Zhu Jianjun and other Hong Kong celebrities to visit the mainland together.
If it was before, there is no doubt that Zhu Jianjun would have politely refused according to Leng Bing's instructions. But at this time, he hesitated.
"Wouldn't this be a good opportunity?" Zhu Jianjun asked himself.
Since we can't raise objections to the cold plan, let alone sabotage it, can I make a gesture with this invitation to announce to the world that I and Feiyuan will not waver in our confidence in Hong Kong's return?
Zhu Jianjun also seems to have a kind of expectation in his heart, in case Leng Binghan knows his intentions, maybe he will eventually change his decision, or forced by himself and Feiyuan's deterrence, international investors will not dare to follow the trend to attack Hong Kong's financial market unscrupulously, so as to solve this problem without fighting.
