Toys are actually a profiteering industry, and the profit of toys is generally 40-50%, but if it is a super IP, several times is not a problem.

Wujiang Group also has a toy company, and its main industry is also the IP of comics, animation and games under Wujiang, making billions of dollars a year.

Well-known IPs such as Transformers, My Little Pony, Real Estate Tycoon, and NERF have built Hasbro's IP matrix, according to the License! According to the latest data from Global Magazine, Hasbro ranks 7th among the top 150 licensors with $6.9 billion in retail sales.

In addition, Zhao Ye is very fond of the brand name "Children's Treasure", and if the acquisition is successful, Zhao Ye will merge the toy company under Wujiang Company into Children's Treasure Company......

……

……

Before Zhao Ye could buy the child's treasure company, the Asian financial crisis broke out completely.

In Thailand, there was a run on the US dollar and people exchanged the baht for the US dollar, which led to a sharp reduction in Thailand's dollar reserves. In April 1997, Thailand announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system of Thai Railways pegged to the US dollar and implement a floating exchange rate system.

This policy was 3 months earlier than in previous lives.

As soon as the policy was announced, the Thai baht exchange rate plummeted by 20% on the same day.

A financial storm sweeping through Asia is coming!

At this moment, global speculators have fallen into a carnival!

Thailand was powerless to resist and could only allow the Thai baht to depreciate wildly, and the wealth that the entire country had worked hard to develop for more than a decade was plundered by international speculators.

In Southeast Asia, countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, which share the same economic problems as Thailand, have been quickly hit hard by the depreciation of the Thai baht. On April 11, the Philippines announced that it would allow the peso to be exchanged against the US dollar on a larger scale, and the peso depreciated by 11.5% on the same day. On the same day, Malaysia stopped the ringgit from depreciating further by raising the bank rate. Indonesia was forced to abandon its currency against the dollar, with the rupiah depreciating by 14 percent from May 2 to 14.

Southeast Asian countries are wailing, and global speculators are ecstatic!

The media of various countries have turned their attention to the Asian financial crisis.

At this time, people can't help but think of the fact that not long ago, Wujiang Group sold Southeast Asian industries on a large scale, and people can't help but sigh that Wujiang Group was really prescient and predicted the financial crisis.

Financial Times: "Thailand was forced to announce the decoupling of the Thai baht from the US dollar and the implementation of a floating exchange rate system, triggering the Asian financial crisis, and Wujiang Group managed to escape!! ”

The Wall Street Journal: "The biggest winner of the Asian financial crisis is unimaginable, and the profit of Wujiang Group may exceed $10 billion!! ”

The Times: "Before the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, the Borderless Group had loaned tens of billions of dollars worth of currencies to local banks in various countries, and now that the Asian financial crisis has broken out, the currencies of Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries have depreciated sharply!! ”

……

Countless netizens who eat melons and the masses see the news, and there is no one who is not shocked.

", Wujiang Group not only escaped the Asian financial crisis, but also took the opportunity to make a profit. It's awesome! ”

"Prophet of the unknown, I'm afraid that the Wujiang Group has been premeditated and deliberately borrowed so much money from the bank, and now it only needs half of the money to repay the loan!"

"Indeed, Wujiang Group is already super rich, and it also has its own bank, even if it is a loan, there is no need to borrow from banks in Southeast Asian countries. So, as you know, Wujiang Group is afraid that it has already predicted the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, so take the opportunity to make a profit! ”

"Hahaha, the American financial predator Soros has worked hard and is notorious, however, I'm afraid that the Borderless Group has not made much money, so I ask you if you are convinced?"

"Serve! I kneel and watch the news, and in the future, I will die with Wujiang Group, and I will invest in whatever it is optimistic about! ”

"Ditto, even if one day, Wujiang Group is bearish on the U.S. stock market, I will go short on the backhand!!"

“……”

At this time, Soros, who was far away in the United States, looked confused and smiled bitterly.

After reading the news in major newspapers, he felt as if he was making a wedding dress for the Wujiang Group.

He calculated the approximate profitability of the quantum fund, which may be only one or two billion dollars.

However, the profit of Wujiang Group may exceed 10 billion US dollars.

How can it be embarrassing?

I worked so hard to be a villain, which angered the countries of Southeast Asia, but instead made the Wujiang Group make a lot of money.

Partner Jay Ingersoll looked at Soros and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we have all become pawns of the Borderless Group!" The other party has been waiting for us to enter the game for a long time, so that it can make a lot of money! ”

Soros looked angry and very unhappy in his heart.

Originally, this Asian financial crisis was a glorious moment for him to become famous, but he unexpectedly became a clown. Whenever others talk about the Asian financial crisis, they will only regard themselves as a pawn of the Borderless Group.

But if it's not happy, it's not happy, and the money still has to be earned.

Quantum funds are still frantically biting Asian countries and making a lot of money.

Notoriety or something, he doesn't really care.

He is an American, has no fixed assets in Asia, and is not afraid of Asian retaliation at all.

"The industry of the Borderless Group in Hong Kong has not been sold, and I, Soros, want to step on the Borderless Group to become famous this time, and see how others laugh at me!!" Soros sneered in his heart, and a plan to short Hong Kong came to mind.

Hong Kong's stock market plummeted due to the Asian financial crisis.

If the national speculator shorts Hong Kong, the success rate is extremely high.

In Soros's view, the Asian financial crisis is unstoppable, how can Hong Kong, which is just a small place, be able to withstand it?

Hong Kong's stock market has plummeted, the economy is in recession, and Borderless Group must have suffered severely.

……

Chinese mainland has not been greatly affected by the financial crisis, and it can even be said that it is very beneficial to China.

After the outbreak of the financial crisis in Southeast Asian countries, a large amount of capital flight has been caused, and China is currently the best developed country in the world, which has led to the influx of capital fleeing from Southeast Asian countries into China, thereby accelerating China's economic construction.

As we all know, there is a siphon effect in economics, which means that the development of the regional economy will produce a siphon effect, once this effect occurs, there will be an economic tornado, when the tornado moves, it will produce huge energy, attract surrounding individuals, enterprises, and countries, and the impact on economic resources is very obvious.

Typically, wealth and resources flow from poor to rich regions, and population flows from underdeveloped to developed regions.

The Asian financial crisis is like a pair of wings for China, enabling China's economy to grow by leaps and bounds.

At this time, major domestic newspapers were also reporting on the Asian financial crisis, and also reported on the unpredictable prophet of the Wujiang Group, making an extremely shrewd decision, and of course, exposing the fact that the Wujiang Group made a lot of money.

However, these news are very popular for the Chinese people.

The rise of the Wujiang Group has benefited countless people in China, and everyone wishes that the Wujiang Group would make more money from Southeast Asian countries.

"The most conscientious enterprise in China is Wujiang Group, and our China's economy and science and technology can have today's achievements, which is inseparable from the contribution of Wujiang Group. The more Borderless Group earns, the happier I am! ”

"Wujiang Group is mighty! Reading in the newspaper that the international speculators led by Soros are actually just making wedding dresses for the Borderless Group, hahaha, I think it's funny to think about it!! ”

“……”

Many domestic entrepreneurs were shocked one by one, and felt that it was too easy for Wujiang Group to make money.

That's an easy way to make tens of billions of dollars.

They are tired and tired, and they don't make much money all year round.

After reading the news, Duan Yongping was speechless.

Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi muttered "tens of billions of dollars" in his mouth, stunned.

TSMC Zhang Zhong was speechless and choked, TSMC was forced to go bankrupt by the Wujiang Group, and it was a ruthless blow to let him see the news at this time~

Wang of Wanda Group couldn't help but calculate how many "small goals" Wujiang Group could earn in this Asian financial crisis, after calculating, he was envious, and gave birth to a son like Zhao Ye, and then he beat his son, who was almost ten years old, and was still so naughty, he knew how to play games all day long, send money to Wujiang Group, kill it, give birth to a second child, and practice a trumpet again......

……

At this time in Hong Kong, countless people are worried and restless.

Hong Kong's stock market has been plummeting.

Major media have speculated that international speculators will short Hong Kong.

International speculators regard Southeast Asia as a super ATM, and there is no reason why they will let Hong Kong go.

Therefore, Hong Kong people are very worried at the moment.

All the bigwigs in Hong Kong get together every now and then to discuss countermeasures.

"Under the Asian financial crisis, everyone is panicked and scrambling to sell stocks, and confidence is seriously lacking. And the strength of international speculators is too strong, and it is difficult to save the market! Huo Yingdong sighed.

Henderson Land Lee Shau Kee frowned and said worriedly: "Once the international speculators shift their target to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong stock market will inevitably plummet. ”

"I don't think the British government in Hong Kong can count on it at all, it is about to be handed over, how can Britain care about Hong Kong's life or death?!"

"Yes, I think Britain may wish to leave a mess on the mainland. However, this is too big a blow for us! ”

"Lao Li, what do you think? Why don't you say a word? ”

Everyone looked at Li Jiacheng.

Although Li Jiacheng is not the richest man in Hong Kong now, his capital is enough to rank in the top five, and his influence and status in Hong Kong can be described as pivotal.

As the saying goes, "In a crisis, there is an opportunity".

Unlike others, Li Jiacheng is particularly adept at finding opportunities in crises.

Whenever others are afraid, he gets excited.

On several occasions, he seized opportunities to grow the company rapidly.

This time, the Asian financial crisis broke out, and everyone else was panicking, but Li Jiacheng was ambitious, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

"As everyone says, Britain will not care whether Hong Kong lives or dies, but the mainland should not sit idly by! I think that with Hong Kong's return to the motherland imminent, Chinese mainland should find a way to stabilize Hong Kong's economy, so we at Cheung Kong Asset Company are willing to take a gamble and are still optimistic about Hong Kong's economic development......"

"Lao Li, what you said is true, but it is not easy for the mainland to save the market. Southeast Asian countries, as well as Japan and South Korea, are struggling to resist the outbreak of the economic crisis. Japan is a very strong country with a strong economy and a much higher per capita income than China. Recently, international speculators have shifted their targets to Japan, the yen exchange rate and the stock market have plummeted one after another, the confidence in the securities market is seriously insufficient, the stock market is under heavy selling pressure, and Japanese stockholders talk about the tiger's color change, and they have palpitations! ”

"Yes, even Japan can't resist it, I think we Hong Kong is hanging very ......"

When Li Jiacheng heard this, he felt furious, he still wanted to copy the bottom, but he was a little hesitant at the moment, but he still firmly believed that China would not sit idly by, so he was still willing to gamble and take out a crazy loan to buy land and buy a house.

On May 21, 1997, when the Hong Kong stock market and real estate plummeted, Li Jiacheng bought land against the trend.

This anomaly immediately attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media.

Major media have sent reporters to interview Li Jiacheng.

"Mr. Li Jiacheng, hello, in this financial crisis, the stock market and real estate have plummeted, why is Cheung Kong Group still crazy about borrowing to buy land?" Reporters asked.

Li Jiacheng faced the interview and replied with a smile: "Because I am optimistic about Hong Kong's economic development, I think Hong Kong has the ability to survive this crisis, so I am willing to gamble once." If the land I hoard is not worth much, then you will see a man jumping off the building, and his name is Li Jiacheng! ”

When the reporters heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Of course, they won't believe that Li Jiacheng's boss would jump off the building because the land hoarding is worthless.

The next day, major newspapers in Hong Kong published interviews with Li Jiacheng on their front pages.

Ming Pao: "Li Ka-shing is optimistic about Hong Kong's economic development and calls on Hong Kong citizens not to worry too much, so as not to trigger panic selling." ”

"Sing Tao Daily": "Li Jiacheng said that international speculators should not be afraid, Hong Kong real estate prospects are unlimited, Cheung Kong Group has been to HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Galaxy Bank and other Hong Kong banks mortgage loans, for the purchase of land! ”

Hong Kong people were greatly encouraged by the news, but the stock market was too sluggish and everyone still lacked confidence.

When the financial crisis comes, confidence is very important, and if the power of retail investors is gathered, it will be a huge force.

Now, the British government in Hong Kong is starting to mess up.

Many Hong Kong people can only seek to save themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Kong's major listed companies have announced that they are optimistic about Hong Kong's economic development and have launched a share repurchase program to enhance shareholder confidence!

The next day.

"Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily" and other major newspapers in Hong Kong wrote the same book, "All of us are united, we are united!" ”

Soros and other international speculators are well aware of what is happening in Hong Kong.

Because their next step is to take advantage of Hong Kong's return to the motherland to overturn Hong Kong's stock market.

A few days later, Soros gave a public interview to reporters.

In the interview, he said with a sneer: "Our next target is Hong Kong!" There is no doubt that Hong Kong will be our next super ATM! ”

"Mr. Soros, as far as we know, the people of Hong Kong are uniting and preparing to resist the invasion of international speculators." The reporter said.

Soros said disdainfully: "Hehe, they still want to resist our invasion? Here, I would like to announce that in less than a month, we international speculators will definitely break through the Hong Kong economy and make a lot of money! ”

When the American reporters heard this, they all smiled and were amused by Hong Kong's inadequacy.

On the same day, Soros's interview spread around the world through the media and the Internet, causing a huge uproar.

This is simply a public clamour, and the arrogance is extremely arrogant.

However, when I thought that Southeast Asian countries had been beaten by Soros and other international speculators, I suddenly felt palpitations and sympathy for the fate of Hong Kong.

At this time, Soros's public clamor for defeating Hong Kong also reached Zhao Ye's ears.

Zhao Ye immediately let people speak.

"If Soros attacks Hong Kong, then the Borderless Group will take action, not to mention unpreparedness!!"

Good guy, as soon as this domineering sentence came out, it quickly shocked the world......
