Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 351 [Fan Thirteen] The "Valentine's Day Gift" that the Nanyang Natives will never forget

In a suite at Oriental Hotel, Haojiang.

Lu Yaowen stood in front of the French window, quietly looking at the bustling construction site on the other side of the river.

Like Hong Kong Island, Haojing is also building an international airport, and Lu Yaowen also owns shares in this international airport.

He is well aware that after the completion of this international airport in Haojing, the gaming industry will usher in a period of rapid development lasting more than 20 years.

Even several gambling kings in Las Vegas came to Haojing with huge amounts of money to invest in casinos. For Lu Yaowen, this place, like the New Territories, was his treasure trove.

‘Dong dong dong~’

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Lu Yaowen's thoughts.

"Please come in."

Lu Yaowen knew that these were representatives from several major Chinese families in Southeast Asia.

He Xian has a very high status among overseas Chinese, especially among the Chinese in Southeast Asia. Huang San invited several major families in Southeast Asia to attend the event in his name, and these families naturally had to give face to He Xian.

soon.

"Awen, let me introduce you to Xie Changmin from the Xie family of Siam, Chen Weihan from the Chen family of Siam, and Guo Xuenian from the Guo family of Malaysia..."

After Huang San and a group of people walked into the room, he introduced the people behind him to Lu Yaowen one by one.

The Nanyang Chinese control almost half of the economy of Southeast Asia. There are many Chinese families in every country in Southeast Asia. There are five major Chinese families in Siam, five major Chinese families in Malaysia, and three major Chinese families in Java.

However, many of these Chinese families are only still Chinese in terms of blood, but in fact have long since become comprador families. When the Eagle Americans ruled, they followed the Eagle Americans, and when the Southeast Asian natives came to power, they followed the natives.

These comprador families are of no value to Lu Yaowen, either in terms of interests or emotions. What he wants to meet are families that still identify themselves as Chinese.

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"...

The representatives of these Nanyang Chinese families all had warm smiles on their faces and greeted Lu Yaowen with a very polite attitude.

Today, Lu Yaowen is considered a prominent figure in Chinese circles all over the world. Although he is not on the so-called rich list, everyone present knows that the wealth in Lu Yaowen's hands is not much less than the wealth accumulated by their families over hundreds of years.

"Gentlemen, please take a seat."

Lu Yaowen's attitude was also very polite.

After everyone sat down, Lu Yaowen immediately spoke: "Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to Haojiang to meet with me."

"I wonder if you have heard about the shorting of the British pound in the first half of this year?"

After Lu Yaowen finished speaking, everyone present, including Huang San, looked at him with sharp eyes.

These people have naturally heard about the big attack on the pound, and they also know that Wall Street's international assets have played a major role in it. They also know that there is a mysterious capital "making trouble" in it.

Judging from what Lu Yaowen said, does he know the inside story?

"I also played a role in this and established connections with people on Wall Street."

Lu Yaowen did not hide anything and revealed some "inside information".

"..."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, everyone present looked at Lu Yaowen with brighter eyes.

"To be honest, I heard rumors that people on Wall Street may have set their sights on Southeast Asia and want to squeeze out some money from it."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

He certainly wouldn't tell these people that he wanted to short Southeast Asia, and it would be more effective to use the banner of Wall Street.

As Lu Yaowen expected, after hearing that people on Wall Street might short Southeast Asia, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.

Now that the Bear Country has collapsed, America is the only superpower in the world, and the already "famous" Wall Street has become even more terrifying.

It is not a good thing for any economic entity in the world to be targeted by Wall Street.

"Mr. Lu, are you telling us this news to remind us to be careful?"

The first person to speak was Chen Weihan from the Chen family of Siam.

The Chen family's Pangu Bank is the largest private bank in Siam and even in Southeast Asia. The Chen family is most sensitive to financial matters.

Chen Weihan knew that Lu Yaowen was definitely not trying to remind them to be careful and alert. He asked this just to find out Lu Yaowen's real purpose.

"Mr. Chen, according to my intelligence, 60% of Siam's economy is now in the hands of a dozen Chinese families. However, the Siamese military, the Siamese royal family, and families from all over Siam hold at least half of the shares in these dozen Chinese families. Am I right?"

Lu Yaowen asked Chen Weihan with a smile.

"Yes."

Chen Weihan nodded in acknowledgment.

How is it possible to make money on someone else's territory without giving benefits to the owner of this territory?

"We Chinese people work hard to make money, but the local indigenous people can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Are you willing to accept this?"

Lu Yaowen looked at Chen Weihan, Xie Changmin and others and asked with a smile.

The vast majority of the Chinese families in Southeast Asia are compradors, and they have been able to grow to their current size by cooperating with the local governments.

It's just that some Chinese families changed their names and gave up their Chinese identity in order to better "integrate" into the local community and become "locals".

The other part, like the Xie family and the Chen family, still maintain their Chinese traditions and insist on their Chinese identity.

These two types of families can be compared to the "foreign faction" and "local faction" in Hong Kong Island.

"Mr. Lu, what if you are willing or not?"

After Lu Yaowen finished speaking, Xie Changmin immediately asked this question.

"Cooperate with me. After Wall Street sells short on Southeast Asian countries, you can rescue the market..."

Lu Yaowen slowly told his plan.

Wall Street's classic trick is to short a country's currency, reap that country's high-quality assets, and plunder the country's development achievements over a decade or even decades, which is more satisfying than robbing a bank.

But this set can only be played by Wall Street, because they have the "escort" of America, the world's only superpower. Those countries that have been harvested dare not turn the table and can only swallow their anger.

If Lu Yaowen tried this, there would be a high probability that he would be punished, so he had to hand over the sickle of harvest to others, and the Nanyang Chinese family was undoubtedly the best choice.

On the one hand, it can enhance the strength of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and on the other hand, it can also add some new allies for Lu Yaowen.

Let them reap the profits under the banner of saving the market, and maybe the local government will even thank them.

"..."

After listening to Lu Yaowen's plan, Xie Changmin, Chen Weihan and others fell into deep thought.

This plan was indeed attractive enough to make them all very excited. "Everyone, you can discuss it with your family members first, and don't rush to give me an answer."

Looking at the expressions of Xie Changmin and others, Lu Yaowen was very understanding and said with a smile.

To be honest, Lu Yaowen doesn't care whether these Southeast Asian Chinese want to cooperate with him or not. The reason why he gives them a chance is only because of their Chinese identity. If they don't know what's good for them, then those hyenas on Wall Street will get the upper hand.

"Mr. Lu, we will give you a reply as soon as possible."

After Xie Changmin and others said this to Lu Yaowen with a smile, they stood up one after another and said goodbye to Lu Yaowen and left.

After everyone left, Huang San spoke up: "Awen, is Wall Street really going to short Southeast Asia?"

"Third brother, it's not Wall Street that wants to short Southeast Asia, it's me who wants to short Southeast Asia."

In front of Huang San, Lu Yaowen did not hide his plan.

"Awen, do you need our help?"

Huang San obviously did not believe that Lu Yaowen could short Southeast Asia on his own, but he understood the art of language very well and expressed his doubts in another way that sounded very familiar.

"Third brother, if you want to make some money, you can come with me."

Lu Yaowen also gave his answer.

"Okay, I will report this matter to Mr. He immediately."

Huang San smiled and nodded. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flashed: "Awen, do you want to force the Javanese government to make concessions by shorting Southeast Asia?"

After saying this, Huang San shook his head slightly: "Unless the Javanese government is bankrupt, they will never agree."

"Third brother, I have prepared more than just this surprise for them."

Lu Yaowen kept the question in suspense.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to your surprise."

Huang San did not ask any further questions. After saying this, he stood up, said goodbye to Lu Yaowen and left.

When he reached the door of the suite, Huang San turned his head and looked at Lu Yaowen: "Awen, those Chinese in Southeast Asia can be trusted, but not completely."

"Third brother, I understand."

Lu Yaowen smiled and nodded.

He didn't care at all whether revealing the short-selling information to the Xie family, Guo family and other families in advance would arouse the vigilance of the local government, because this was a complete conspiracy.

Even if these Southeast Asian countries know that someone wants to short their currencies, they cannot take any effective response. This is related to the current international environment.

After rapid development in the 1960s and 1970s, the island nation became the world's second largest economy. After that, the island nation's devils developed a goose formation economic model in accordance with America's global strategy.

America takes itself as the leader, with Western Europe as the second leader, followed by the island countries and South Korea, and then other countries, subcontracting its industries step by step.

The same goes for island countries. They regard themselves as the "leader" of Asia, always keeping themselves at the upstream of the industrial chain and easily earning high profits through the export of high-tech and high-tech. The four Asian dragons, Hong Kong Island, Formosa Boulevard, Korea and Singapore, are the first tier of exports.

Southeast Asian countries such as Siam, Luzon, Malaysia, and Java were the second tier to be exported. In order to welcome funds from America and island countries, these Southeast Asian countries all adopted a free currency system without exception.

This monetary system is the foundation of their country's economic take-off, so even if they know that Wall Street is going to short their currency, they will only prepare more "ammunition" to deal with it, and will not cancel this monetary system.

As long as this monetary system is not abolished, they will definitely be shorted. This is a case of one-track mindset ending up with a double-sided block.

If families like the Xie family and the Chen family cooperate with Lu Yaowen, they can still get a piece of the pie. If they want to work for the local government, Lu Yaowen doesn't mind reaping the benefits together.

Soon, Xie Changmin, Chen Weihan and others found Lu Yaowen again and agreed to work with Lu Yaowen.

Obviously, the Xie family, Chen family and other families can sit in such a position in a foreign country, and the decision-makers are all top-notch people. They know very well who to cooperate with to bring themselves the greatest benefit.

After preparing a group of "allies" for himself in Southeast Asia, Lu Yaowen contacted Jimmy again.

"Jimmy, contact Kloshko and ask him to send a team of over a hundred elite troops to Papua to help the Papua Liberation Front make some noise. This time we can equip them with some heavy weapons."

Lu Yaowen first had to help the Javanese find something to do to distract their attention.

"understand!"

Jimmy responded immediately.

"Also, please ask Kloshko to mobilize the KGB intelligence personnel in Southeast Asia to help me keep a close eye on every move of the Javanese government."

If Lu Yaowen had not emerged, the cashless KGB would have disbanded most of its overseas branches. But now, with the help of Lu Yaowen, the KGB has basically maintained its previous framework and has not suffered any major impact.

After talking to Jimmy, Lu Yaowen dialed Galitsky's number again.

"Ivan, when can Andrei and the others leave?"

Now Lu Yaowen just has to wait for his brother-in-law's "elite brigade" to arrive in Southeast Asia so that he can start his plan.

"Krafk has already ordered the disbanding of the army. Andre and his men can go to your territory by the end of January, or at the beginning of February at the latest."

This time, Galitsky gave an exact time.

"Okay, Ivan."

Lu Yaowen smiled and nodded, then continued: "There is one more thing, Ivan, I hope you can help me transfer a few submarines to Southeast Asia..."

"Awen, you know, the navy has always been relatively independent..."

Before Galitsky finished speaking, Lu Yaowen interrupted him: "I can offer $100 million."

"No problem, Awen, I will definitely help you convince those navy officers!"

Galitsky immediately patted his chest and agreed.

After the collapse of the Russian bear, Galitsky completely understood what it meant to be in charge of one's own household and realize how expensive daily necessities were. In the past, he had only to wait for the state to allocate military funds, but now he has to do everything himself.

If it weren't for his good son-in-law Lu Yaowen who helped him plan everything in advance, Galitsky was sure that he would be "struggling for money".

"Ivan, thank you for your hard work."

After Lu Yaowen said this with a smile, he hung up the phone, and then he continued to dial Sima Nianzu's number.

"Azu, it's me."

After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen spoke.

"Brother Wen, what do you want me to do?"

Sima Nianzu's voice came from the receiver.

"On February 14th, Valentine's Day, you will officially start."

Lu Yaowen wants to give these indigenous people in Southeast Asia a "Valentine's Day gift" that they will never forget.
