Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 378 The Great Harvest

"Three catties of soybeans, four belts" Looking at the picture of the red-haired fool on TV, Li Lei felt that he was a little closer to the world he was familiar with.

"Slam Dunk" began broadcasting on TV Asahi in 1993, and then it was introduced to Baodao. It was re-dubbed and played on Baodao. Seeing the audience's response was good, Xiangjiang's TV station introduced this film again, so Li Lei now Only after seeing this familiar animation will it be broadcast nationwide on a large scale until next year, and then it will become a childhood memory of a generation.

Before finishing an episode of the animation, Ma Tianyou brought the core members of the New Century Company over and reported the latest work progress to Li Lei, "After you informed us last time, we began to collect information in this regard, and indeed found out Some abnormal capital movements, Soros’s Quantum Fund is raising funds to prepare for a big one, and these funds have a tendency to flow into Thailand.”

"According to our research and judgment, Thailand does have a trend of economic overheating. The high growth of the overdraft economy and the expansion of non-performing assets have caused a sharp decline in the economic stability of these countries. At the same time, the real estate bubble has resulted in bad bank loans. and the increase in the proportion of bad debts, and before Thailand's financial system was straightened out, it canceled the control of the capital market in 1992, making the flow of short-term funds unimpeded, providing conditions for foreign speculators to speculate on the Thai baht; Considering the reason, it is very likely that Soros will target Thailand, and once he takes action, with the total amount of funds that Soros can raise and his operating methods, Thailand may be difficult to deal with!" The analysts presented their research results.

"What's more important is that the Thai side doesn't seem to notice this risk. I mentioned it when I had dinner with Mr. Xie yesterday, but he didn't take it seriously. Even a big company like Zhengda didn't pay attention to it, let alone other people. ?So we stand on Soros' side this time, and we will definitely gain a lot!" Li Lei has already reminded Xie Liren, but he doesn't care. , Help them release some pressure!

"The funds are basically in place now, and we have prepared the layout in Thailand in advance, and we can start building positions at any time!" Ma Tianyou continued to report on the plan of New Century Company. They also plan to establish a short sale in Thailand in advance, just like Soros. Positions, and then sell the Thai baht on a large scale when the time is right.

In addition to the Thai baht, the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupiah and the Malaysian ringgit have also become their targets. These countries, like Thailand, have the risk of economic overheating and relatively large bubbles. Once the Thai baht falls, a chain reaction will be formed, driving these countries. The fall of the national currency.

"In addition, according to our research and analysis, Xiangjiang and Russia also have similar risks, so can we consider making some arrangements in this regard?" Ma Tianyou is a qualified capitalist. As long as he can make money, he will short his hometown does not matter.

"These two places don't need to be considered for the time being. As for Xiangjiang, you only pay attention to the local economic situation, but forget that Xiangjiang will return soon. The country will definitely not watch Soros make a fortune in Xiangjiang. With the current situation in the mainland Foreign exchange reserves, if Soros hit hard, there will be no good results! And there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If we participate in shorting Xiangjiang, it will be very detrimental to our future development in the mainland! So not only can we not be short, but we must also help Xiangjiang resists Soros' attack together, so that even if we lose a little temporarily, we can earn back ten times and a hundred times from other places in the future!" Although Li Lei mentioned the support from the mainland, seeing Ma Tianyou and the others seemed not to be very happy Believe it, so I changed another statement that they could accept.

"As for Russia, this country cannot be treated with common sense. If they want to overturn the table at that time, let alone us, Soros may lose everything!" Li Lei is very clear about Maozi's morals.

At that time, Soros held a large amount of rubles and shares that could not be sold, so he shouted from the air, asking Mao Xiong to take the initiative to devalue the currency by 15-25%, because in this way, he could get capital injection from the International Monetary Fund, but he felt that he was screwed. Mao Xiong did not buy it and quit completely; they first actively devalued the ruble by 50% to reduce debts;

After the three sets of combined punches, Soros was stunned. He probably didn't expect to lose his face. This kind of suicide style of play has never been seen before.Mao Xiong, who doesn't like routines, turned the table directly, so that a lot of rubles and national debt in Soros' hands became a piece of waste paper. In this battle, Soros lost nearly 20 billion US dollars; The bears didn't benefit either. Sovereign debt default put them on the blacklist of dishonesty. Since then, the economy has been sluggish for a long time, and it was not until the era of high oil prices that they were rescued.

Ma Tianyou did not pay too much attention to Russia, because it was originally a plan to hunt grass and rabbits here. Of course, he was happy to get it, but it would not be a pity if he didn't. The most important thing was Southeast Asia, so he quickly accepted it; As for the issue of Xiangjiang, he also believed Li Lei's words. Outside the New Century Company, it mainly relies on making money from futures and financial markets. In the mainland, it still relies on cooperation with local governments. If it stands on the opposite side of the country, it will indeed affect the development of the company.

In addition, Li Lei has proved his vision through the operation of futures and financial markets many times before, so these professionals did not have much doubt, and began to formulate specific operation strategies according to the route specified by Li Lei.

In February, two big news came one after another. The departure of the designer made many people feel sorry. The bosses of many private enterprises here in the special zone took the initiative to wear black gauze on their arms to express their condolences, while in many northern cities, laid-off workers set off firecrackers.

Another news is that Soros has finally started to act. Quantum Fund and other international hedge funds began to launch an attack on the long-coveted Southeast Asian financial market. At the beginning, they sold the Thai baht aggressively, and the exchange rate of the Thai baht plummeted; The Central Bank of Thailand intervened in the market and spent about US$120 billion to absorb Thai baht. On the one hand, local banks were prohibited from lending Thai baht to offshore speculators, and on the other hand, interest rates were greatly increased. The three-pronged approach has temporarily stabilized the Thai baht exchange rate.

Although it seems to be stable for the time being, it has also made more people see the weakness of Thailand's economy, and Soros and the others have indeed made a lot of money with this wave of operations. The temporary truce is just to put away their fists for the next time Better to attack.

Then a large amount of funds flowed out of Thailand. In June, Soros launched an attack again. At this time, the only foreign exchange reserves of 300 billion U.S. dollars had been exhausted at this time. They could no longer resist Soros’s attack. In the end, the Thai baht collapsed directly. Century earned a massive fortune.

The collapse of the Thai baht triggered a chain reaction, and Southeast Asian currencies such as the Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit, Indonesian rupiah, and Singapore dollar fell one by one.

In this process, New Century has shown a more perfect operation than Quantum Fund. Quantum Fund overestimated the capacity of the Indonesian government, and built a short position conservatively. However, New Century is well aware of the integrity of the Indonesian government and built it ahead of time. A large number of short positions, the final gain even surpassed Soros.

Afterwards, the two companies chose different directions of attack. Soros entered Russia, and New Century set its target on Japan. The economic ties between Japan and Southeast Asia are very close. The collapse of the Southeast Asian economy also led to the decline in the exchange rate of the yen. From 1997 From 6 yen to 115 dollar at the end of June 1, it fell to 1998 yen to 4 dollar in early April 133, and even close to 1 yen to 150 dollar at the highest point.

The South Korean won depreciated by 50.00% within two months, and the national economy was on the verge of collapse. Many people spontaneously donated their gold and silver jewelry to protect the Korean economy. The economic crisis has tightened its grip on the South Korean economy.

This economic crisis also caused the Daewoo Group, which was very popular in China, to go bankrupt, and the myth of Daewoo was shattered. Many domestic companies also began to reflect on the Daewoo model, and began to take the road of specialization like Wang Shi, instead of being greedy for perfection like Daewoo. Everything has to be mixed with one hand.

In the third stage, Soros finally aimed at Xiangjiang, but this time New Century Company did not stand on his side, but resisted Soros's attack together with Xiangjiang. Because of the strong support of the mainland, Soros finally attacked three times Xiangjiang has declared failure.

From 1997 to 1998, New Century Company devoted most of its energy to this matter, and they also gained fruitful results.

Finally, calculating the gains of New Century Corporation in this financial crisis, they used a capital of one billion US dollars at the beginning, far less than the 30 billion US dollars used by Soros, but they basically reached the most appropriate position every step of the way. First, he doubled his own capital in the process of attacking the Thai baht, and then doubled this figure in Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and other countries.

On the other hand, Soros, although he did a lot of killings in Southeast Asia, he missed in Russia and Xiangjiang successively. Russia’s flipping the table caused him a direct loss of 20 billion U.S. dollars, and Hong Kong’s resolute resistance with the support of the mainland caused Soros to lose another billion U.S. dollars .

By the time of the final exit, the billion dollars that New Century invested at the beginning had become 50 billion, and perhaps the net income was not as good as that of Soros, but that was because Soros had invested enough funds. If so, the new century is far better than Soros.

"Everyone has worked hard this time, and the finances have already calculated the bonuses that everyone should receive. Congratulations, everyone, you are now a rich man! You can take advantage of the current low price of Xiangjiang's real estate market and start buying luxury houses!" Li Lei began to celebrate for them. In addition to the previously agreed bonus, Li Lei also bought luxury cars, jewelry, high-end watches and other gifts for them, and at the same time sealed a thick big red envelope.

"Thank you, boss!" The traders in the new century were in a carnival. In one year, they made money that ordinary people could not make in a few lifetimes. Now they are eager to squander and enjoy life.

Li Lei didn't force them to continue working. They had been nervous for more than a year, and it was time to relax, so he gave them a one-month vacation to let them enjoy the joy of victory.

When they came back to relax, Li Lei gave them new tasks. Previously, Huinong Group mainly developed domestically. Externally, except for the layout in Kazakhstan and the export of certain products, there was basically no major action. , Now that I have sufficient funds obtained from the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, I can finally try my skills overseas.

It just so happens that Southeast Asian countries have suffered heavy losses, and many very valuable plantations and processing factories have gone bankrupt. It is a good time to buy bottoms, so Li Lei asked them to use the money they earned from Southeast Asia to buy assets in Southeast Asia, and oil palm plantation Farms, sugarcane plantations, coffee plantations, banana plantations and even land rich in rice have all become Hui Nong's pocket.

Enterprises such as Chia Tai and Kerry Group, which dominated Southeast Asia in the past, also suffered considerable losses. The Xie family and the Guo family also wanted to sell their assets as soon as possible to recover blood, but now there are not many buyers who can come up with a lot of cash, so it is cheaper for Li Lei , bought some sugarcane gardens, sugar mills, and oil refineries from the state, bought a lot of feed mills from Zhengda, and bought some lotus supermarkets by the way, so Huinong also made up for its own shortcomings. own retail channels.

"Hey, when I think back to when you came to Zhengda Kangdi Feed Factory and earned 2 yuan with your technology, I never thought that Zhengda would have to rely on you to tide over the difficulties one day!" At the ceremony, Xie Liren was also full of emotion. It took several generations of hard work for Chia Tai Group to get to where it is now, but it only took Li Lei 15 years to be on an equal footing with them.

"Zhengda helped me when I was in the most difficult time. Now that Zhengda has encountered difficulties, I am very pleased to be able to help. I can finally pay back the favor I owed Mr. Xie at the beginning! The Chinese market is huge, and it is completely tolerant. Xia Huinong and Chia Tai, I hope that we will continue to maintain the current relationship that is both competitive and friendly, and we will develop and make progress together!" Recalling the past, Li Lei felt a little excited.

Of course, these are all things that will happen later. Right now, Li Lei has completed the layout of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia in the special zone, and then returned to Heyang to celebrate the New Year with his family. After the Spring Festival, he started to work again. This year, the policy has changed again. Huinong must seize this opportunity.
