Chapter 154: The Eve of the Storm
Yang Xing could only obey the "arrangement of the superior leader" with a sigh. Chu Tiankuo had already made it clear that the matter would be calmed by the organization this time, and the Hong Kong side would not investigate it in depth. But Yang Xing could no longer do whatever he wanted. In order not to happen in China and Hong Kong in the future, it is necessary to use a special identity to control and protect him. Yang Xing thought that this time he would lose a lot. For Lin Jiana, he was forced to wear this tight spell. I really hope that her information would be worth it and she would make such a big sacrifice!
Now Lin Jiana is busy mobilizing personnel to completely solve the Russian gangsters who attempted to uproot her and her organization. She also notified the country not to be too anxious for the time being, in case the Ukrainian National Security Bureau is guarding against each other. They are both engaged in intelligence work, and Chu Tiankuo also knows the reason why haste is not understood. She only let Yang Xing and Lin Jiana keep in touch and can take action immediately when they find an opportunity. The country cannot stand by and send personnel to Ukraine and other places to fight for the front station. In this regard, Yang Xing hopes that Lin Jiana will notify him to cooperate.
Yang Xing was worried about the funds for this operation. Every major project in Lin Jiana's hands was sky-high. The military did not intend to pay all of it. He also proposed to use the money allocated to Yang Xing for investment first. The gap between the price difference was probably going to cause him to bleeding. Domestic personnel could not take formal ways to go to Ukraine and other places, but also had to use Xinghai Trading's network in Eastern Europe. Now he was firmly tied to the state machine, and he paid and worked hard. He felt that he had been assigned the rank of major. With his contribution this time, he should be a major general!
Chu Tiankuo saw his eyes rolling around and knew that he was unwilling to do so. He understood the weakness of this little villain and leaned close to his ear and said, "Your position is the literary and artistic leader who guides various literary and artistic groups in the military!" Yang Xing was immediately overjoyed. He had known that there were many beauties in the art troupes such as the General Political Department, the Air Force, and the Hai Zheng. The army's literary and artistic colleges were also the cradles of beautiful girls. Back then, he pretended to be a literary and artistic soldier to sow Ouyang Qian, but now he is a real leader of the literary and artistic soldier. He should be able to get in touch with a lot of flowers. When you have time, you must ask Liang Man, who once served as the leader of the front-line art troupe in the Nanjing Military Region. Since ancient times, there are many beautiful women in Jiangnan. He started with the front-line art troupe first!
Yang Xing stretched out his clutches at the military flowers that had an impression all the way. After returning to Hong Kong, he naturally kept silent about his trip to Beijing. Shen Changzheng and his friends accepted the instructions and tried their best to cover up Yang Xing's thrilling night in Hong Kong. He also made preparations before the listing of Xingwei Resources as usual.
But Yang Xing hugged Wang Yiren and Guo Ying and the others in the bed at night, and the story of the life and death of that night still made everyone frightened. Now Yang Xing no longer concealed the existence of Lin Jiana and the "keek" organization. For this organization they nicknamed "peepers", they unanimously agreed to be the most secret ace in Yang Xing's hands. In addition to Yang Xing's pillows, their staff and even Yang Xing's parents would hide it. However, when Yang Xing told them about Lin Jiana's situation, they deliberately or unintentionally concealed Lin Jiana's gender, obviously they wanted to let them know that the head of the peeper organization was a beautiful female leopard. Yang Xing probably was going to drink jealous every day.
The heavy wheels of history are still running on the original track, but the frictional alarm between the wheels and rails is particularly harsh. For Southeast Asian countries, the "Gay Travel" policy originated from the "Gay Travel" brought about by Japan's economic takeoff in the 1950s and 1960s has made their economies achieve great development, and all countries have accumulated considerable wealth.
In the 1980s, endless low-interest foreign loans poured into various countries like a tide, and they built a large number of fancy-looking infrastructure. Thailand, at the center of this storm, claimed in 1995 that more than half of its citizens had entered the middle class and directly purchased a small aircraft carrier. In 1995, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia successively joined ASEAN, and Southeast Asia integration was no longer a dream. It seems that entering the new millennium, a third force enough to fight against China and Japan will emerge in the political situation in East Asia.
But the situation suddenly changed, marking that Soros attacked Thailand's foreign exchange market on March 2, 1997, causing a run in Thailand, which squeezed out more than a dozen banks. Then a large number of foreign capital began to flee, causing 66 Thai financial companies to secretly obtain a large amount of liquidity support from Thai banks to prevent bankruptcy. The "fund sharks" who were cruising around the world who specialized in chasing excess profits in financial risks all smelled the ominous smell. Their eyes were reddened by the crisis information, and they flocked to East Asia to prepare for a hunting feast.
News of unstable financial market in Thailand came out, and the Thai baht fell in response. After several rounds of fighting in April, the Thai baht was hit to a minimum of 1 US dollar to 26.70 baht. The Thai government almost tried its best. The Thai central bank took various emergency measures at an emergency, such as raising US$12 billion from Singapore, Malaysia and other countries to buy Thai baht; raising overnight lending rates; limiting the lending and lending behavior of its own banks. Finally, at the end of April, Soros and others repelled the crazy invasion, causing him to lose 300 million US dollars.
However, the small setback did not destroy Soros' confidence in his original theory, but instead allowed him to see through the Thai government's erotic inner trouble. Not only did he not close the original position, he even continued to add positions. The loss of 30 million US dollars could not scare him off. He believed that after several rounds of offensive and defensive battles, the Thai government had exhausted its vitality. As long as he added another effort, the Thai government's foreign exchange reserve would be empty, and he must be the winner.
Soros's operation method in the foreign exchange market is not surprising. He used the same trick when blocking the pound in 1992, but flies do not bite seamless eggs. The poor financial situation of Southeast Asian countries is the main reason for his attack.
He first looked for countries that implemented free exchange rate fluctuations, and his finances were poor and his domestic economy was weak, which increased the pressure on the depreciation of their own currencies, which means that there was a possibility of depreciation. In this case, he used the US dollar to buy the Thai baht and borrowed a short-term Thai baht contract, and then sold the Thai baht in large quantities to exchange for the US dollar, causing panic among retail investors and exacerbating the depreciation of the Thai baht. This profit made double the profit, followed by him, and the Condor Foundation slapped any local currency of Southeast Asian countries into the abyss.
At this time, Soros was confidently preparing for greater funds, preparing to defeat the Thai baht in one fell swoop. Qian Yiming and his team also completed the layout according to Yang Xing's idea, followed Soros and prepared to take action. When Yang Xing returned to his presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel again, he knew that the horn of the battle was about to sound. In the next few months, the presidential suite adjacent to the two hotels will be the base camp of their "Falcon Project".
At the Fulihua Hotel, Yang Xing read the transaction records of Qian Yiming during this period in detail. In March, they followed Soros to sell the Thai baht in a big way, and then bought it before the Thai government counterattack and retreated safely. Not only did they get a large profit from the Thai government, but even one of the 300 million US dollars paid by Soros was put into their wallets. They made a profit of tens of millions of dollars in just over a month. Qian Yiming and his men, who have always been serious, were happy.
Yang Xing thought that the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides was a few days earlier, which was slightly different from his memory. He felt that the capital operation of the financial market was still moving quickly. No wonder in the following financial storm, so many financial elites jumped off the building and committed suicide by losing. On this side is a deep abyss, and on the other side is a golden road, which is really tempting.
However, the $2 billion he has prepared has set a goal of making 100% profit. Now he has taken over the debt of Zhongyuan State Investment Company, and has prepared funds for the military to purchase Ukrainian military technology. All these items cost money, and the $2 billion he expected was a little nervous.
Moreover, when he came back this time, Wang Yiren and Guo Ying also brought him some news that they didn’t know whether it was good or bad. The work of cleaning up the national investment companies in various places is in full swing. Judging from the current situation, Guangdong Province’s National Investment Corporation is a severely affected area. The preliminary cleanup alone has a deficit of nearly 20 billion yuan. Even if Guangdong Province has a big family and a big business, it is very difficult for the country’s largest financial hole.
According to the regulations of this cleanup, Guangdong will make up the hole within three years, which has caused great headaches for the current Guangdong leadership team. This time, they learned about the practices of Zhongyuan Province through senior management, and used private forces such as selling and transferring part of the assets of the Guotou Company to Zhongxing International to make up for the deficit. Inspired, they also wanted to copy and ask Yang Xing to help.
However, they also knew that Yang Xing was willing to help Zhongyuan Province, mainly because of his geographical relationship and his close relationship with Jiu, Guangdong Province did not have this advantage. The only thing that can be linked to Zhongxing International is the "Southern Star City" industrial park it is building in Shenzhen. After all, Zhongxing International is a private enterprise aimed at profitability, and it is unlikely to help Guangdong at no cost. After thinking about it, the Guangdong Provincial Government decided to follow the model of Zhongyuan Province Guotou, and let the leaders in charge of cleaning up Guotou Company privately contact Yang Xing's representatives Wang Yiren and Guo Ying, and ask whether they could obtain Zhongxing International's transfer funds by transferring shares of some high-quality enterprises in the province.
For outsiders, they probably think this is a great thing about a pie falling from the sky, but Wang Yiren and the others were not in a hurry to reply. As people in the core power circle of Zhongxing International, they know their own family background. Although in the eyes of outsiders, their companies are queuing up to list in Hong Kong, which is very glorious on the surface. However, local industrial parks including Xingmei Fashion, Xingchen Manufacturing, and Nebula Electronics have just begun to be newly built, and many acquired companies have begun to integrate.
Xinghua Real Estate wants to acquire land and develop new projects across the country; Xingkong Human Resources’ university town project is a money-making monster, and it is still a long time to make a profit; Xinghai Trading has also laid its own sales channels across the country; Xingguang Entertainment is a program and artist under the promotion of all over Asia; Although Xingwei Resources, which Yang Xing personally undertakes, has taken up several major projects of Zhongyuan Guotou, resource projects have always been a work of large investment and long-term results;
Don't expect them to pay profits to Zhongxing International in the short term. Thank you if they can leave with a piece of cake from Zhongxing International's plate. Moreover, this time Yang Xing went to Beijing alone. Although he was vague after returning, they could guess that they would have to spend another sum of money. Even if they have a big family and a big business, they can't stand this kind of tossing, so they did not respond clearly and wanted to wait for Yang Xing to come back before making a decision.
In the office of the CEO of the floor rented by Zhongxing International in Central, Hong Kong, Yang Xing picked up the equity transfer list of many state-owned enterprises that the Guangdong Provincial Government is willing to provide, and was immediately attracted by the names of several companies that became famous in the future. He managed to withstand his excitement and asked several appraisers from Xingfu Investment to come up to value the units at this time. When they quoted a quotation of RMB 5.4 billion, Yang Xing almost jumped out of the chair. It was really cost-effective.
He knew that this opportunity was fleeting, and there would be no store after passing through this village. He immediately ordered Wang Yiren: "This opportunity is so rare. I will take it even if I sell it. You immediately call all the company leaders to Hong Kong as a major decision of the company. I hope they will discuss the decision together!"
