Chapter 101 Lin Yuzhen’s Grievances
Li Yiwen couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you going to do in Hong Kong?"
Looking back on their life experiences in the past two months, there is no doubt that Hong Kong is a turning point in their lives.
When he heard Lu Yiming asking him to go to Hong Kong again at this time, he couldn't help but start to have all kinds of associations.
Lu Yiming smiled and said to Li Yiwen: "International friends from the West have come all the way to Hong Kong to be the money-giving boys. If we don't cut a few cuts, wouldn't it be a pity? Besides, Hong Kong is now deeply trapped in the financial quagmire. What's wrong with me going to rescue it?"
Li Yiwen had heard a little about Hong Kong's financial situation, and was even more surprised to see Lu Yiming actually planning to get involved: "You want to participate in that financial defense war?"
In 1988, the first financial crisis occurred, the Plaza Accord was signed, and Black Monday broke out, with more than $1.4 trillion evaporated worldwide overnight.
In 1997, the second financial crisis occurred. Southeast Asia was attacked by international speculators, triggering a currency crisis. Then Hong Kong, which had just returned to China, was attacked. It had to use fiscal funds to buy back H-shares to support the Hong Kong stock market from continuing to fall and stabilize the market order.
In order to defend Hong Kong, the country tried its best and mobilized the world's second largest foreign exchange reserves. Combined with Hong Kong being the region with the third largest foreign exchange reserves in the world, the country successfully repelled international speculators and became the only survivor.
This is the famous "Hong Kong Financial Defense War" in history.
Facing Li Yiwen's doubts, Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "Yes, what's wrong with me participating in patriotic movements?"
Li Yiwen couldn't help but look very contemptuous when he heard this: "You are a person who made his fortune through capitalist means, and you have the nerve to say that you are the successor? Wake up, you just robbed the Russian treasury!"
Li Yiwen didn't even believe the punctuation marks in Lu Yiming's words.
He guessed that Lu Yiming must have seen another opportunity to make a fortune.
"We are brothers, so let's not talk about those empty words. How confident are you this time?"
Lu Yiming smiled confidently and said, "100%."
In the battle to defend Hong Kong’s financial sector, with the country as our backing, it would be unjust if we didn’t win, right?
Both are economic wars backed by the country. The country makes reasonable use of the rules and defends Hong Kong at all costs, while the Russians simply refuse to pay. In comparison, Lu Yiming still feels that his motherland is more reliable.
Seeing Lu Yiming so confident, Li Yiwen reminded him: "How can you be so sure? Do you know who your opponent is?"
Lu Yiming showed a contemptuous expression: "Aren't they just the group of people speculating on the ruble? Let alone Soros, who will soon be hit by the iron fist of socialism. The Quantum Fund and Long-Term Capital Management Company are just dogs released by the United States to bite people. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"That's all? Did you know that Long-Term Capital Management and Quantum Fund, along with Tiger Fund and Omega Fund, are known as the four kings of international hot money? They are not to be trifled with!"
Li Yiwen felt that Lu Yiming really underestimated enemy.
Two of the four kings of the international hot money circle have come directly, plus a bunch of vultures following behind to gnaw on the "corpses". Hong Kong is now almost unable to bear it. Can Lu Yiming withstand it?
Although he was born in Xia Country, Li Yiwen was really unsure. After all, in this era, when looking at foreign countries, especially Western powers, people in China could only look up to them.
On the contrary, Lu Yiming had long been accustomed to the so-called developed countries' strong appearance but weak interior after the subprime mortgage crisis, so he did not take a group of paper tigers seriously.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Yi knew that whether it was Long-Term Capital Management or Soros' Quantum Fund, they would suffer a heavy defeat at the hands of the Russians. Even without his joining, they would have to roll back to the United States in disgrace.
With these two punches from Maozi and Xia Guo, no matter who the Four Heavenly Kings or the eight demons are, they will all be defeated.
What Lu Yiming needs to do is just to beat the dog when it is down, there is no need to fight hard.
Although Li Yiwen complained bitterly, Lu Yiming was still very confident: "I know, what are the Four Heavenly Kings? They are just country bumpkins who have never felt the iron fist of socialism. Don't worry, I'm here to command, so you won't lose anything."
Seeing Lu Yiming's insistence, Li Yiwen had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Yiwen is now worth more than 50 million, all of which was brought to him by Lu Yiming. How could he not listen to Lu Yiming?
At six o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Lu Yiming walked leisurely to the school with soy milk in his left hand and fried dough sticks in his right hand.
As soon as I entered the teaching building, I met Lin Yuzhen in the corridor.
Lin Yuzhen had a dark face and looked unhappy.
Lu Yiming immediately stepped forward and teased: "What's the matter? Miss Lin was criticized? Your face is so black that ink seems to be dripping."
Lin Yuzhen raised her head and glanced at Lu Yiming, pouting: "Humph, what do you care?"
When Lu Yiming heard this, instead of shutting up , he said excitedly: "Ah, I really got it right? If you have anything that makes you unhappy, tell me and make me happy."
Lin Yuzhen was obviously in a bad mood, and was teased by Lu Yiming in such a mean way. She became even angrier and punched Lu Yiming twice.
"It's all your fault!"
"What the hell, what does it have to do with me?"
Lu Yiming took a step back to avoid it.
"I don't care, you are you!"
A barrage of little pink punches fell like raindrops.
After getting beaten up, Lu Yiming finally figured out that Lin Yuzhen's scolding was indeed related to him.
The computer that was previously left at Zhu Hanwen's house was retired after it was used to fleece Lao Gai. Lu Yiming himself had forgotten about it and never moved it back home.
Then during the summer vacation, Lin Yuzhen had nothing to do, so she followed Lu Yiming's example and used it to surf the Internet. As a result, something went wrong. When the bills were settled at the end of the month, Zhu Hanwen and Sun Jiatong almost fainted when they saw the bill.
In 1998, most people who wanted to access the Internet used narrowband dial-up. The modem dialed special service numbers 163 and 169, and the Internet fee was 12 yuan per hour. According to the prices in Baiyun, this was equivalent to consuming three kilograms of pork for every hour of Internet access.
Not all wealthy families can afford to build like this.
Zhu Hanwen is a teacher and uses the school’s internet, which is indeed cheaper than outside—only one pound of pork is consumed per hour.
But he couldn't afford to be driven by Lin Yuzhen all day long, so when the bill came, Zhu Hanwen's head almost exploded. Two thousand three hundred yuan! Almost equal to his three months salary!
It was unknown how many antihypertensive drugs Zhu Hanwen took before his blood pressure was lowered. Then he called Lin Yuzhen aside and gave her a good scolding. After all, this was too much money to spend.
Lin Yuzhen felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. Seeing that Lu Yiming was still gloating, she became furious and kicked him twice, causing Lu Yiming to grimace .
"Why am I so unlucky? You didn't spend much money on the Internet before, why does it cost so much for me to use the Internet?"
