Chapter 115: The Prelude to the Financial Crisis

May 13, 1997, 8:17 a.m.

"Brother, Soros has done it!" Si Yue sat in front of the computer, looked at the falling curve on the screen, and said to Ling Feng with a smile: "A large number of Thai baht has been sold, and the exchange rate against the US dollar has fallen greatly, and it is expected that before noon today, the Thai government will take action." ”

"Oh? What can they do? I remember the financial turmoil came in July! Ling Feng was puzzled, could it be that Soros had made a move in advance?

"Brother, you're an idiot!" Si Yue glanced at Ling Feng, with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "In January, Soros began to attack, bringing in a large number of dollars and selling the Thai baht, causing the Thai baht to plummet, and at this time, I also began to reserve US dollars. ”

"The economy of Southeast Asia, with Thailand and Indonesia being the weakest, once one of the country's financial systems is destroyed, then the other countries will fall into chaos," Siyue said with a smile, opening a game on the computer, and with a light push, one of the erected signs fell, while the other signs were knocked down like this, and all of them fell: "It's like this dominoes, one falls, and all of them fall." ”

"Starting with Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, and then disrupting the Asian 'Tigers' Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and finally Hong Kong, and now South Korea has also caught up with natural disasters, they first broke out a general strike at the beginning of the year, and at the end of January, they exposed the scandal of Hanbao Group's huge bill refusal. In addition, the depreciation of the yen has greatly affected exports, and many companies in South Korea have closed down since January. ”

Si Yue said it simply, but what the weight of those companies was Ling Feng didn't know.

The collapse of Hanbao Steel Industry Company alone caused the Seoul stock market index to fall by 2.8%! Then the bankruptcy of Mitsumi General Special Steel Company caused the Korean Stock Exchange to fall for four consecutive days; Then, South Korea's largest brewing conglomerate, Shinro, collapsed due to high debts, and Kia Group, the country's eighth-largest conglomerate, was unable to repay its 10 trillion won debt, becoming the latest target of bank bailouts......

The South Korean economy, once hailed as the "miracle of the Han River" and haunting the international arena as an economic model in Asia, will soon burst like a bubble.

1:26 p.m. on the 13th.

"Brother, the Thai government, the Central Bank of Thailand and the Central Bank of Singapore joined the WTO and used a total of $12 billion to prepare to maintain the status of the Thai baht." Si Yue said with a smile: "According to my estimates, this round of tentative attacks has pushed Thailand to a dead end, 12 billion US dollars, which has accounted for 40% of their foreign exchange reserves. ”

"Just tell me how much we can catch, I don't understand how much to say - it's not a professional!" Ling Feng was very depressed, listening to Si Yue's words was like listening to a book from heaven - he was dizzy when he heard so many numbers.

"It's about a quarter," Si Yue looked thoughtfully at the jumping curve on the screen: "I haven't let go of the investment yet, plus Soros has been planning for a long time, it's already good to be able to grab a quarter." ”

"Wait, how many?" Ling Feng's jaw was already on the ground, he counted with his fingers for a long time, even using his toes, and finally came to a result: "You, you mean we can get three billion dollars?" ”

"This is just for now," Si Yue said with a smile, Ling Feng's appearance was really cute: "When the storm officially sweeps Southeast Asia, that is, the financial storm that you said will be officially staged in July, I will stab Soros in the back, in that case, Soros plus Southeast Asia's foreign exchange reserves, can have at least 35 billion US dollars." ”

"Plop!" Ling Feng fell to the ground, his limbs cramping......

35 billion US dollars, what a concept! Thinking that he won the lottery and took 70 million francs back then, he was excited about something, and now Siyue said that this amount didn't even blink an eye, it was really ...... That's 35 billion! That's 35 billion Italian lira, which is a lot!

Ling Feng jumped around the room excitedly, causing Si Yue to look at him with contempt: "If you really want to make it, you can get 90 billion yuan, but then it will expose our identity, it's better to take less money and let Soros carry this black pot, alas, brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Feng was jumping up and hearing the word "nine hundred billion", he accidentally fell off the sofa and lay on all foursβ€”he was basically in shock......

As Siyue said, the Thai government's emergency measures and the $12 billion invested have worked, and the status of the Thai baht has been temporarily preserved - and in order to avoid chaos in the country, the Thai government has not announced this matter, for fear of causing panic - but their 12 billion has basically bottomed out......

This is just a small attack, which has already consumed 40 percent of Thailand's foreign exchange reserves, and Thai economic experts dare not imagine what it will be like when Soros attacks in a big way.

May 14 at 11:30 p.m.

"Brother, Soros and I have contacted each other, hoping that the two of us can cooperate and work together to defeat the economy of Southeast Asia." Siyue's words made Ling Feng, who was eating, eat all the rice grains into his nose.

"How did he know we were meddling?" Ling Feng asked another extremely mentally retarded question.

"The blind can see it!" Si Yue gave Ling Feng a look of "you are hopeless": "He made so much less money, plus an unknown fund joined, Shun Teng also found me, but he didn't know who I was, thinking that I was a financial speculator from Europe." ”

"It's good that I don't know the name," Ling Feng rubbed his chest and smoothed out, "Then how do you answer him?" ”

"I promised."

"What? How can you promise him? Ling Feng jumped up like a burning buttocks: "Didn't you say that Soros's ultimate goal is Hong Kong, and Hong Kong will return on July 1, how can you be his accomplice." ”

"Don't worry, brother," Si Yue smiled sweetly, and the corners of her mouth curled up with two small dimples: "Hong Kong is Soros's last target, so before again, our alliance is beneficial to both sides, especially in the fight against the Japanese economy, we can't do without Soros's help, when the spearhead is pointed at Hong Kong, I will immediately withdraw all the funds, and give him a knife in the back, he can't think that the allies who have been spending blood and money to attack with him in the early stage will withdraw at the last moment." ”

Ling Feng was speechless, Si Yue's words were very right, it was impossible for Soros to completely rest assured of an ally he didn't know - for a businessman like them, no matter how iron the relationship between the two sides was, it couldn't be easily trusted, because the other party would stick a knife in your back at any time.

It's just that Siyue's policy behaves like a European financial speculator who hates Southeast Asian countries very much, especially after sweeping Southeast Asia to Japan, Siyue will never show mercy, and this also gives Soros who intends to be in Hong Kong a false impression - that is, his ally is either enmity with East Asia, or he wants money and wants crazy, which can just be used by him as a substitute for the dead.

It's just a pity that being smart was mistaken by being smart, and when Soros was bent on taking down Hong Kong, he himself had fallen into that trap and could no longer turn over.

Ling Feng didn't understand this, so she simply didn't ask, anyway, with Siyue's talent, and after grasping the trend of the whole situation, she would not lose, the question is, how much money can Siyue make and how much damage will it bring to Southeast Asia?

Now is just a prologue, when the general offensive begins in July, the situation in Southeast Asia will definitely be greatly turbulent, at that time, as long as you deliberately arrange it, it is easy to wipe out Tianmu's forces in Southeast Asia, in this way, Tianmu itself will also be greatly affected, at this time, snipe at Tianmu in the stock market and futures, and when most of their assets are transferred to their own accounts, the end of Tianmu is coming.

Now all Ling Feng has to do is wait, waiting for the time to be ripe - when he has made so much money, Si Yue can easily manipulate any stock, and when the time comes, he will settle a Tianmu and let them lose all their blood - drizzle

Think about it, if it weren't for Siyue, Ling Feng would not have been able to accomplish such a big task, football involves all aspects, not just a sports activity.

Arrived in Glasgow, Scotland, at the Iberox Stadium, the home stadium of Rangers.

In the players' tunnel, Ling Feng saw the bad boy of England on the opposite side for the first time, Gascoigne.

Looking at his short hair now, Ling Feng couldn't help but think, this funniest guy on the court, why would he become like that in the future?

Think of the Italian summer of '90, when England were knocked out on penalties by West Germany, and Gascoigne's tears became the eternal shot of that year, when the talented 23-year-old experienced his first major defeat.

Thinking about it a few years later, Gascoigne turned out to be a lifelong partner with drugs and alcohol, and he did not hesitate to beat his wife for this, resulting in divorce, and finally developed into a homosexuality, which had to make Ling Feng sigh that after the England team returned home, Gascoigne actually hugged the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who came to greet him, and was ordered by the British royal family: "Don't touch Princess Diana", Gascoigne's depressed expression.

Sensing that Ling Feng was watching him, this guy who was neither big nor small actually walked up to Ling Feng with a smile in the players' tunnel, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "Boy, Brian (Little Laudrup) has praised you in front of me more than once. ”

"Oh? What does Brian praise me for? Ling Feng wondered, that guy from Little Laudrup, it would be good if he didn't say bad things about himself behind his back, but he would praise himself?

Gascoigne looked left and right for a moment, and then whispered in Ling Feng's ear and said mysteriously, "He praised you and said that you are very similar to me." ”

Spit...... Ling Feng has a head and two big, and Laudrup Jr. will definitely not say such a thing, it must be this narcissistic guy himself, this guy Before the 1990 World Cup, the BBC produced a title to introduce the England team lineup, requiring each player to lip-sync their name in front of the camera. When it was his turn, his mouth was clearly swearing. But the BBC didn't notice this and used the title throughout the World Cup......

Thinking that such a thing can be done, it is acceptable for Gascoigne to say such things......

"Look at your young man, he's also quite handsome," Gascoigne pinched Ling Feng's face and gestured to himself: "In the football circle, you are the second handsome!" ”

"Who is the first handsome?" Ling Feng asked curiously, is it Xiaobei? Ranked below Xiaobei, it's not bad.

"Of course it's me!" Gascoigne was extremely narcissistic and posed for a 007, which not only Ling Feng, but even the Rangers and Hamburg players couldn't stand it, and threw up on the wall one by one......

Ling Feng finally knew why this guy couldn't get into the national team and was hit so hard, because in the national team, it was not Skels, who was also a forward midfielder, who squeezed out his core position, but Xiaobei, who was known as a heartthrob.

Gascoigne didn't look in the mirror either, he was on the list of the world's top ten ugly stars, and he was the one who was hit by the fact that he was the most handsome man in football......

"Everybody's quiet!" Gascoigne shouted at the vomiting crowd, "I have something to announce." ”

The group of players straightened up, waiting to see what this funny narcissistic guy would sayβ€”Ling Feng thought timidly, "You don't want to be a brother with me." ”

"......Porphyry" A loud fart sounded in the players' tunnel, and Gascoigne smiled and continued to announce: "I'm done talking......"

It's really something to say quickly, and there is a fart to let go! The players pinched their noses and kept fanning the air in front of them - although the fart didn't stink, it was really disgusting.

There were even players from the Hamburg team who couldn't stop looking at Ling Feng and then at Gascoigne, and couldn't help comparing in their hearts: "Boss Ling is a little ruthless, compared to this guy in terms of funny, it's really far behind......"
