Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 274 Diverting Your Eyes
Wujiang Group did not give any explanation for the sale of its properties in Southeast Asia. Experts, professors and economists from Southeast Asian countries came on stage one after another to speak for the economies of Southeast Asian countries and trumpeted the economic results achieved by Southeast Asia in the past ten years.

Then he ridiculed Wujiang Group for selling the property, which is undoubtedly an extremely stupid decision.

Seeing what experts and professors said, many people actually believed it.

However, on the surface, Southeast Asian countries seem to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

Many smarter people are also planning to run away.

Overseas giant crocodiles are showing their ferocious fangs, ready for a feast.

The Quantum Fund, headed by Soros, had already begun to borrow Thai baht from banks, then exchanged it for US dollars, and then continued to borrow large amounts of Thai baht to sell and buy US dollars.

Wujiang Group actually borrowed Thai baht from the local Thai bank earlier than Quantum Fund. However, the Thai baht did not sell off and disrupt the financial market. Instead, it purchased large quantities of Thai agricultural products and minerals, or invested in power, telecommunications, network infrastructure, etc. etc., speaking of which, it also promoted Thailand’s economic prosperity.

Soros borrowed Thai baht and then sold it. His purpose was to induce people to follow suit and exchange for US dollars. However, Thailand had insufficient foreign exchange reserves and had to depreciate the Thai baht. After that, Soros could use US dollars to buy back the depreciated baht at a low price and return it to the bank. Thus making a lot of money.

Wujiang Group did not sell Thai baht, but it borrowed much more Thai baht than Quantum Fund, and may even be twenty or thirty times that of Quantum Fund. At that time, it can also exchange US dollars for a batch of depreciated Thai baht and then return it to the bank.

In the same way, Wujiang Group is doing similar things in other countries in Southeast Asia.

Once the Asian financial crisis broke out and the currencies of Southeast Asian countries devalued wildly, the biggest winner behind it was not Soros and Quantum Fund, but Zhao Ye and Wujiang Group.

Soros and his Quantum Fund are at best pawns, taking the blame for Wujiang Group.

In this life, because Wujiang Group borrowed a lot of money, Southeast Asian countries will naturally suffer more serious losses.

But this is exactly in the interests of Wujiang Group.

The more serious the losses in Southeast Asia, the better the Wujiang Group will take advantage of others' danger.

However, if the Asian financial crisis breaks out earlier, it may have a great impact on Hong Kong.

In the previous life, when the Asian financial crisis broke out, Hong Kong had already returned to China. At that time, the country made a promise to take action, which gave Hong Kong great confidence and confidence, and it was able to repel the invasion of international hot money headed by Soros.

Now, if the Asian financial crisis breaks out and Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, how should the British Hong Kong government deal with this matter?
In fact, as early as 1992, Soros attacked the British pound and directly destroyed the UK.

It can be seen that Britain has long lost its glory as an "empire on which the sun never sets".

The UK is simply unable to manage the Asian financial crisis, and it doesn't want to. Wouldn't it be better to leave a mess to the mainland?
Therefore, Hong Kong may be hit hard by the Asian financial crisis.

However, those financial and real estate companies suffered the greatest losses, which happened to be convenient for Wujiang Group to buy at low prices and rescue the market as a savior.

The huge financial resources of Wujiang Group cannot even be matched by the combined efforts of international speculators headed by Soros.

It's not that Zhao Ye looks down on them. Wujiang Group now has more than 1600 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves, which is 200 billion U.S. dollars more than China's foreign exchange reserves at the time.

As long as Wujiang Group applies to join the war, even if it makes an announcement, it can greatly boost the confidence of the people of Hong Kong and then overthrow international speculators.

Sometimes, confidence is more important than anything else.In the past life, because of the mainland's deep commitment, if Hong Kong's capital reserves were insufficient, the mainland government would take measures to rescue Hong Kong.As a result, the Hong Kong government spent 1200 billion Hong Kong dollars to enter the stock market. Before the money was spent, the national speculators were defeated.

Southeast Asian countries do not have powerful backers. Their own foreign exchange reserves are very small, and their debts are very high. This gives Soros and other international speculators an opportunity to take advantage of them and treat them as "super cash machines."

At present, the layout of Wujiang Group in Southeast Asia has basically been completed. It is just waiting for Soros to become the villain, and Wujiang Group will enjoy the results.

Based on the current foreign exchange reserves of 300 billion U.S. dollars in Thailand, it will take about three to four months to cause the Thai foreign exchange market to collapse.

……

Since Wujiang Group has not accepted interviews from reporters, it didn't take long for Wujiang Group to be negative about Southeast Asia. After all, the enthusiasm of Wujiang Group gradually dropped.

为了进一步转移大家的视线，1996年12月10号上午，上海美术电影制片厂对外宣布，由程龙主演的科幻大片《独立日》将于1996年12月25号上映。

As soon as the news came out, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

The investment in this movie is as high as 8000 million U.S. dollars, and the publicity cost is as high as 4000 million U.S. dollars. It is really a big deal.You must know that prices, actors' studios, crew salaries, special effects costs, etc. here in China are much lower than those in country M.

In fact, the production fee of US$8000 million is equivalent to the production of a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster of more than US$1 million by Country M Film Company.

On the cover of the movie poster, the shot of an alien spaceship hovering over the city looks quite shocking, attracting countless people to the cinema to watch the movie.

Nowadays, many people don't care about things in Southeast Asia. Most people only care about things that are closely related to them, such as the upcoming release of the movie "Independence Day."

The media also chases the popularity.

The movie "Independence Day" is about to be released, and it is so popular that of course we have to report it quickly.

Just before the release of "Independence Day", the country was flooded with advertisements for "Independence Day".

Wujiang Group successfully shifted the focus to "Independence Day".

On the day of the movie's premiere, stars gathered, and many Hong Kong stars and film companies came to congratulate them.

This hugely invested movie has attracted the attention of the whole of Hong Kong.

In the 90s and 8000s, Hong Kong movies were extremely prosperous, but film companies may not dare to invest US$[-] million in a movie.

No matter how high the local box office in Hong Kong is, it will be difficult to exceed HK$6000 million.

If "Independence Day" doesn't become a hit around the world, it will definitely lose money.

"With such a high investment, it may be difficult to recover the cost. We Chinese filmmakers simply cannot make science fiction films!"

"Yeah, so much investment seems to be in vain! The production cost and publicity cost add up to 1.2 million U.S. dollars. With so much money, we can shoot hundreds of movies."

"..."

The premiere ended quickly, and then everyone entered the cinema and started watching the movie.

"Independence Day" was a blast, both in terms of plot and special effects, and there was no irritation throughout.

Especially the movie's special effects, which have a strong visual impact and shocking scenes, fully demonstrate the power and magnificence of the alien spacecraft. When the huge figure of the alien spacecraft floats over the entire city, everyone seems to be really there. I felt the fear that the dark clouds were about to overwhelm the city.

"Fuck! It's so big!!!"

"It's over, the alien spacecraft is so powerful, how can humans fight against it?"

"Go ahead, you're awesome! You dare to take pictures of this! The alien spacecraft shot out a red light and blew up the office of the President of Country M in one go!"

"Oh, the photo was still too conservative, let's give it a shot in the Japanese toilet~"

Some viewers felt a little regretful, but were immediately satisfied.

The alien spacecraft directly launched a huge warhead, with Tokyo as the core, and directly sunk the Japanese island.

Since then, Japan has disappeared from the map.

At this time, Cheng Long, who played the protagonist, finally started to take action. He piloted a J-N fighter jet and fought bravely. Finally, he captured an alien and a fighter jet, and then took the fighter jet into the alien spacecraft. A virus is implanted inside, causing the protective cover of the alien spacecraft to disappear. In the end, humans launch nuclear warheads to destroy all alien spacecraft on the earth and win.

This movie lasts 126 minutes, which is half an hour longer than ordinary movies. The whole viewing process is tense, exciting, shocking and moving.

"Damn it, the movie "Independence Day" is so awesome! I didn't expect Shanghai Animation Film Studio to be able to produce such a wonderful and shocking science fiction blockbuster. It's really awesome! Especially the special effects in it are simply better than The special effects in Hollywood are even better!"

"Yeah, this movie will definitely be a hit. It's the best science fiction blockbuster I've ever seen after "Star Wars"!"

At this time, the lights in the cinema came on. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanshang from Golden Harvest Film Company looked at each other with shock in their eyes. "Independence Day" was shot so well that it completely exceeded their expectations. Imagine!
"It's incredible that the mainland can produce such good-looking movies!" Ho Guan-chang couldn't help but sigh at this time. He seemed a little frustrated and vaguely aware of the backwardness of Hong Kong movies...
