"Next, I will stop all investments in the international futures market and the Hong Kong stock market, leaving one billion Hong Kong dollars as a reserve fund.

The rest of the money will be invested in the foreign exchange and financial markets of Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. "Zhou Hao said to the staff.

Then I heard one of the American male employees say: "But boss, the financial market in Southeast Asia is very chaotic right now.

We got news that George Soros and others are making waves there, and if we invest our money there, the risk will be very high. "

Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Risk is accompanied by profit. The so-called crisis means that there is opportunity when there is danger. It is because their financial market is chaotic that we can fish in troubled waters and profit from it.

In fact, Soros' group of crocodiles had been deployed in Thailand and other countries as early as the beginning of the year, in order to prepare for huge profits from the Southeast Asian financial market.

Now I just want to follow their footsteps and make as much profit as possible while they have almost finished their preparations. "

In later generations, experts analyzed the Asian financial turmoil and concluded that there were many reasons, the most important of which was the impact of upstream capital in the international financial market.

At present, there are about 7 trillion US dollars of floating international capital in the world. Once international speculators find out which country or region is profitable.

Immediately, the currency of the country or region will be impacted through speculation in order to obtain huge profits in the short term.

Another reason is that many countries in Southeast Asia have improper foreign exchange policies.

In order to attract foreign capital, they maintain a fixed exchange rate on the one hand and expand financial liberalization on the other hand, providing an opportunity for international speculators.

For example, Thailand abolished the control of the capital market in 1992 before its financial system was straightened out.

The unimpeded flow of short-term funds provides conditions for foreign speculators to speculate on the Thai baht.

Led by George Soros' Quantum Fund and Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund, a large number of international speculators have taken a fancy to the financial defects of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.

Only then will the large-scale invasion sweep the financial markets of Southeast Asian countries into chaos.

According to the memory of Zhou Hao's previous life, as early as the beginning of 1997, George Soros joined forces with other international hedge funds to launch an attack on the long-coveted Southeast Asian financial market.

At the beginning, they sold the baht aggressively, causing the baht's exchange rate to plummet.

In the face of aggressive attacks by hedge funds, the Central Bank of Thailand decided to intervene in the market, using about 12 billion U.S. dollars to absorb Thai baht.

On the one hand, the local banks lend Thai baht to offshore investors, and on the other hand, the interest rate has been greatly increased. The three-pronged approach, the Thai baht exchange rate has remained stable for the time being.

And this world-famous Asian Gold

The first phase of the meltdown started in June 1997.

In June, hedge funds once again launched a fatal attack on the Thai baht, and the Central Bank of Thailand had to retreat because the only US$30 billion in foreign exchange reserves was now exhausted.

On June 30, the Prime Minister of Thailand assured foreign countries on TV: "The Thai baht will not depreciate, and we will let those speculators lose their money."

However, only two days later, the Central Bank of Thailand was forced to announce the abandonment of the fixed exchange rate system and the implementation of a floating exchange rate system.

On that day alone, the Thai baht plummeted 20 percent, and then Bank of Thailand governor Luncha Malaga announced his resignation.

Until August, the Central Bank of Thailand decided to close forty-two financial institutions. At this point, the Thai baht fell into a complete collapse.

During this period, hedge funds also attacked the Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit and Indonesian rupiah. In the end, Southeast Asian currencies including the Singapore dollar fell one by one.

It is already May now, and there is only one month left before the big crocodiles such as George Soros and Julian Robertson launch a general attack, so Zhou Hao has to step up preparations.

Compared with the tens of billions of dollars used by those financial tycoons, the less than two billion dollars in Zhou Hao's hands can't cause any big disturbances at all.

And Zhou Hao didn't intend to make waves, his purpose was just to follow in the footsteps of these predators to fish in troubled waters.

As for the destruction of the economies of Southeast Asian countries by this storm, it was out of Zhou Hao's consideration.

As George Soros said in the face of the media after the Asian financial turmoil in his previous life.

"In terms of financial operations, it's not ethical or immoral, it's just an operation.

The financial market does not belong to the category of morality, it is not immoral, morality does not exist here at all, because it has its own rules of the game.

I'm a player in the financial market, I play the game according to the established rules, I don't break those rules, so I don't feel guilty or responsible. "

Although George Soros's words were very irresponsible, after analysis by many financial experts in previous lives, they all agreed that the internal cause of the Asian financial turmoil was the unsound financial economy of Asian countries.

Even without the external force of George Soros and others, the Asian financial turmoil would still occur, and its impact would even be much greater than in reality.

What's more, Zhou Hao's mere one billion or two billion dollars can't stop George Soros and the others, nor can they stop the Asian financial turmoil.

Instead of this, it is better to use these funds to gain more benefits.

The only thing that caused Zhou Hao to have a psychological barrier was

The massacre against Chinese in Indonesia in 1998.

Indonesia is the latest to be affected by the Asian financial turmoil

, but it is the most affected.

However, after their economic recession, they vented their anger on the local Chinese under the deliberate instigation of the government, leading to the infamous massacre.

Since the vast majority of local Chinese are of Indonesian nationality, mainland China cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries despite the friendship of fellow countrymen.

This once became a matter of anger and helplessness among the domestic people.

After Zhou Hao in his previous life saw those appalling photos, his blood boiled immediately, he wished he could go to Indonesia to drive out those Indonesians, and vent his anger on the overseas Chinese compatriots.

Now that Zhou Hao is really reborn, he will definitely not stand by and watch this matter.

After making detailed arrangements for his employees, Zhou Hao concluded: "If all goes well, our funds will double to triple by the end of the year."

In the next year, the Asian financial turmoil will spread to the whole world. At that time, Zhou Hao will have more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

"Boss, will Soros and Robertson really succeed? Now the Bank of Thailand has intervened." A local analyst in Hong Kong became suspicious.

Zhou Hao showed a confident smile, "Believe me, the Bank of Thailand will not be Soros' opponent.

If you think about it, even the British government had to lose to Soros, and Thailand was too vulnerable. "

Seeing the confident smile on Zhou Hao's face, the employees were also infected.

In addition, Zhou Hao's predictions on the stock market in the past six months are almost miraculous, and these financial elites have developed a habit of trust.

After assigning the tasks, Zhou Hao and Su Lin returned to his office.

Here, Zhou Hao has an independent office, just behind the office hall.

This office covers an area of ​​nearly 150 square meters. There is a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows over there, from which one can see the bustling street scene of Central below. There is even a lounge in the office for Zhou Hao to use.

As for Su Lin, Zhou Hao's secretary, her desk is just behind the door.

At this time, Zhou Hao sat on the executive chair and sighed, "It's the first day I'm the boss, and I don't know if the people below will be convinced."

Su Lin smiled and said, "You did a great job. Just now I saw them look at you with admiration."

When Zhou Hao assigned tasks to the employees just now, the aura of a general who knows only about the battlefield, as well as his serious expression, had an incomparable charm.

It is said that serious men are the most charming. Even Su Lin, who had just recorded for Zhou Hao, was fascinated by Zhou Hao's chic and confident appearance.

Looking at the hurrying pedestrians below and the majestic buildings around, Zhou Hao suddenly stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile to himself: "This 'Oriental Star'

Pearl', I will let it shine for me sooner or later! "

That arrogant smile that was so confident that it was even a bit arrogant made Su Lin here feel suffocated.

She seems to have seen a male lion roaring at the beasts below on the hill to establish her dominance.

Turning around and seeing Su Lin stunned, Zhou Hao scratched his head and smiled, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm still too childish, I'm afraid it will make people laugh out loud."

But Su Lin smiled and shook his head, "No, I believe you will do it."

"Oh, by the way, since you've come to Hong Kong, you have to pay a visit to the pier." Zhou Hao suddenly laughed.

He took out a business card from his pocket, it was Zeng Yingpei's business card given to him by General Lu Zhenwu before.

Today, Zeng Yingpei is the deputy director of the Hong Kong Police Force and one of the top figures in the Hong Kong police force. It will definitely be good for Zhou Hao to pay a visit to him.

Moreover, the phone number on the business card that Lu Zhenwu gave was Zeng Yingpei's personal phone number.

So, Zhou Hao immediately called Zeng Yingpei.

But the person who answered the phone was a woman. It is not an ordinary person who can have Zeng Yingpei's private phone, so the woman's attitude is very friendly.

"I'm his wife Zeng Mingjieying. He's on the phone with the Governor of Hong Kong right now. It's not very convenient. How about I ask him to call you back later?"
