C193 Following behind the great crocodiles

"Next, I will stop all investments in the international futures market and Hong Kong stock market, leaving HK $1 billion as a reserve fund.

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

He then heard one of the American male employees say, "But boss, the financial markets in Southeast Asia are in a mess right now.

We received the news, George. Soros and the rest are causing a ruckus there, if we throw our money over there, the risk will be huge. "

Zhou Hao laughed and said: "Risk comes only with benefits. The so-called danger, is only organic if there's danger. It is because of their financial market chaos that we can profit from it.

Actually, Soros and the group of crocodiles had already been in Thailand and other countries since the beginning of the year, in order to prepare to make a profit from the financial markets of Southeast Asia.

"Right now, I just want to follow them while they're almost done with their preparations and get as much profit as I can."

In later generations, experts analyzed the Asian financial crisis for a number of reasons, the most important of which was the impact of the money on international financial markets.

With about $7 trillion in international capital flowing around the world, international hype is likely to find a profitable country or region.

It will soon use hype to attack the country's or region's currencies in order to gain a windfall in the short term.

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

In order to attract foreign investment, they both maintain a fixed exchange rate and expand financial liberalization, which provides an opportunity for international speculators.

In the case of Thailand, controls on capital markets were lifted in 1992, just before the country's financial system was in a state of disrepair.

To make the short-term capital flow unimpeded, provide the conditions for the foreign speculators to stir-fry the Thai baht.

With George. Soros's Quantum Fund and Julian. Robeson's Tiger Fund was the leader, a large number of international speculators had their eyes on the financial flaws of countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand.

It was only then that the invasion took place, sweeping financial markets across Southeast Asia.

According to Zhou Hao's memories from his past life, George had a profound understanding of the meaning of death. Early in 1997, Soros joined forces with other international hedge funds to launch an attack on the long-coveted Southeast Asian financial markets.

In the beginning, they sold off the baht, causing its value to plummet.

In the face of the aggressive attacks from hedge funds, the central bank of Thailand decided to intervene, using about $12 billion to absorb the Thai baht.

On the one hand, the refined local banks lend the baht to offshore investors, and on the other hand, the rate of interest is greatly increased, so the baht exchange rate remains stable for the time being.

The first phase of the world-famous Asian financial storm began in June 1997.

In June, when hedge funds launched another deadly attack on the Thai baht, Thailand's central bank had to retreat, as its remaining $30bn in foreign exchange reserves had run out.

On June 30, Thailand's prime minister promised foreign countries on television: "The Thai baht will not devalue. We will make those speculators lose everything."

However, just two days later, the Central Bank of Thailand was forced to renounce the fixed exchange rate system and introduce a floating exchange rate.

On that day alone, the baht fell by 20 percent, followed by a comment by the Governor of the Bank of Thailand. Malachy announced his resignation.

Until August, when the Bank of Thailand decided to close 42 financial institutions, the Thai baht collapsed completely.

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

It was already May, so it was already close to George. Soros and Julian. Robeson and the other big crocodiles had only one month left to their overall attack, so he had to hurry up and prepare for it.

Compared to the tens of billions of dollars that the big crocodiles had, this amount of money that was less than two billion in Zhou Hao's hands was not enough to cause any big waves at all.

Zhou Hao also did not plan to cause waves by following the footsteps of these great crocodiles, his goal was merely to fish in troubled waters.

As for the damage that the storm had caused to the economies of the countries of Southeast Asia, Zhou Hao was no longer concerned about it.

Just like in George's previous life. Soros said to the media after the Asian financial crisis.

"In terms of financial functioning, there is no moral or no moral, it is just an operation.

Financial markets are not moral; they are not immoral; they do not exist because they have their own rules of the game.

I am a participant in the financial markets and I will play the game according to the rules that have been set. I will not violate those rules, so I do not feel guilty or responsible. "

Despite George. Soros's words were irresponsible, but after much analysis from the financial experts in his previous life, they all thought that the underlying reason behind the Asian financial crisis was the unsound financial economies of the Asian countries.

Even without George … The external influences of Soros and the others would also cause a financial storm in Asia, and the degree of its effect would be much greater than in reality.

Moreover, Zhou Hao's mere one to two billion dollars simply could not stop George. Soros and the others were also unable to stop the Asian financial crisis.

Rather than this, it would be better to use these funds to reap more benefits.

The only thing that troubled Zhou Hao was the massacre that happened in Indonesia in 1998.

Indonesia was the last to be hit by the Asian financial turmoil, but it was the hardest hit.

After their economic downturn, they deliberately incited the government to vent their anger on the local Chinese, leading to the notorious massacre.

Since the vast majority of Chinese are Indonesian nationals, China cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, despite its compatriots.

This matter had once become the rage and helplessness of the citizens of the country.

In his previous life, when Zhou Hao saw those tragic photos, his blood started to boil. He wished that he could go to Indonesia and exterminate all of those Indonesia's people to vent out his anger on his Chinese compatriots.

Now, that Zhou Hao had been reborn, he would definitely not stand idly by the side and watch.

After giving his subordinates a detailed arrangement, Zhou Hao then concluded: "If everything goes smoothly, our funds will increase by two to three times by the end of the year."

The next year, the Asian financial crisis would affect the entire world, and at that time, Zhou Hao would have even more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

"Boss, will Soros and Robeson really succeed? Now the Bank of Thailand has intervened. " A local analyst was suspicious.

Zhou Hao revealed a confident smile, "Believe me, the Thai Central Bank won't be a match for Soros and the others.

Think about it, back then even the British government was defeated by Soros. A mere Thailand is too weak to withstand a single blow. "

Seeing Zhou Hao's confident smile, the employees were also infected by him.

In addition, Zhou Hao's prediction of the stock market for the past half year had reached an incredible level, causing these financial elites to develop a kind of habitual trust.

After arranging the missions, Zhou Hao followed Su Lin back to his own office.

Here, Zhou Hao had a separate office, which was located at the back of the office.

The office covered an area of one hundred and fifty square meters, with a row of huge windows on the ground. The windows allowed a view of the bustling streets in the center, and there was even a lounge for Zhou Hao to use in the office.

As Zhou Hao's secretary, his desk was right behind the door.

At this time, Zhou Hao sat on the large chair and sighed, "Being the boss on the first day, I wonder if the people below will be convinced."

Su Lin laughed and said: "You did very well, just now I saw the way they looked at you with admiration."

When Zhou Hao gave the staff members the tasks, he gave off the aura of a general who only knew how to fight, and that serious expression, it had a kind of incomparable charm.

Everyone said that serious men were the most enchanting, and even Su Lin who had records for Zhou Hao was captivated by Zhou Hao's confident and confident appearance.

Looking at the passing pedestrians and the magnificent buildings below, Zhou Hao suddenly stretched out his right hand and said to himself with a smile: "Sooner or later, I will make this' Pearl of the East 'shine for me!"

That kind of arrogant and confident smile made Su Lin feel suffocated.

It was as if she saw a lion roaring down at a hundred beasts from the top of a hill to establish his position as the overlord.

Turning his head to see that Su Lin was a little stunned, Zhou Hao scratched his head and laughed: "Hehe, sorry, I was still too childish, if it was like this I would have laughed my teeth out."

Su Lin shook his head: "No, I believe you will do it."

"Ah right, since I'm in Hong Kong, I should pay my respects to the pier." Zhou Hao suddenly laughed.

He then took out a name card from his bosom. It was the name card that General Lu Zhenwu had given him previously.

Zeng Yingpei was currently the Deputy Chief of the Hong Kong Police Force, and one of the top figures in the Hong Kong Police Department.

Furthermore, the phone number that Lu Zhenwu had given him was Zeng Yingpei's private number.

Therefore, Zhou Hao immediately dialed Zeng Yingpei's number.

But the person who answered the phone was a woman, anyone who had Zeng Yingpei's private phone was no ordinary person, so the woman's attitude was very friendly.

"I'm his wife, Jane, and he's on the phone with the governor. It's not very convenient. How about this. Can I ask him to call you back later?"
