Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

When I got home, the card game on the third floor was in full swing.

In order to prevent Shuangling from finding out that something was wrong with him, the old man showed up on the third floor and then returned to the study on the second floor.

Quietly watching him come in from the door, watching him say hello to the actors and everyone, watching him look at her silently, watching his back as he opened the door and left, Wen Hui's long eyelashes drooped, and her gaze returned to Du Shuangling has a card in his hand.

There are some smart people upstairs... We can't stay too long, Zhang Xuan thought as he sat on the chair.

Take a look at the time, 7:47.

It's still early and I can still read for a few hours.

There are still about 100,000 words left, and the second Human World is almost finished. He plans to finish it in one go tonight.

Thanks to stopping and writing, he has enough time to think. Now that he has mastered Human World, he feels comfortable and comfortable.

His intuition told him that after refining according to the current ideas, he would definitely shine.

With this excitement, he slowly entered the state.

Time passed by minute by second, but when he finished reading the last word and closed the book with his backhand, his heart felt peaceful. Closing his eyes seemed to be a ritual, and his body and mind seemed to have been sublimated in some way.

Just then the study door opened.

Du Shuangling walked in gently, put her hands on his shoulders naturally, rubbed them and asked, My dear, are you hungry?

Zhang Xuan asked: Why did you come down? Didn't you play your cards?

Du Shuangling said: It's early in the morning now, and they are cooking noodles and planning to continue with supper.

Is it early in the morning?

He raised his wrist and took a look. It was 11 minutes to 12 o'clock. It was really late.

Zhang Xuan put his arm around her, held her in his arms and asked, Which of you wins this round?

Du Shuangling looked embarrassed: Sister Tao and Qingzhu won.

Zhang Xuan laughed: It's really useless.

Du Shuangling glanced at him: Qingzhu is so lucky, no matter how Ziyu and I plot, there is nothing we can do to save him.

Zhang Xuan asked: Are you really going to continue later?

Du Shuangling smiled and nodded: There are no classes, graduation is coming again, everyone wants to have some fun.

Zhang Xuan echoed: It's okay, once in a while, you can have a different kind of happiness by being wild in the same life.

Well, let's go up.

good.

The two of them said yes and yes, but they kissed each other lustfully the moment they stood up.

For a few long minutes, until they were almost suffocated, the two of them separated. Du Shuangling hugged him with both hands, I suddenly didn't want to go up. I like to sit in your arms.

Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, and slowly stroked her back with his right hand, then raised his head and pecked at her again and again like a woodpecker.

Du Shuangling didn't stop until her face turned red and she couldn't help herself.

Let's go up, they are waiting for us. Du Shuangling's body was trembling, and she was trembling as she spoke.

Let's go. Zhang Xuan stood up and pulled her up to the third floor.

After eating the late-night snack, the old man, who harbored the demon Wen Hui in his heart, stayed in bed until 3 o'clock in the morning.

He put his hands behind his head and stared blankly at the ceiling. At this moment, he really wanted to understand the cause and effect of the world and exorcise the demons in his heart.

That night, as he slowly fell asleep, he had a dream.

The dream took place in a magnificent temple, surrounded by clouds. The temple had carved railings and painted pillars, and each of the 12 beams was as thick as a millstone.

Zhang Xuan knelt devoutly in the center of the hall, clasped his hands and asked the Buddha: Who will deliver me? How can you see through the world of mortals?

Hearing this, the Buddha statue in the hall slowly changed. The face of the original Buddha statue with a square head and big ears changed into the appearance of Zhang Xuan. He looked at him kneeling on the futon and said: Who can be indifferent to fame and fortune in the world? Who would want to become a Buddha if they could let go?

Zhang Xuan was stunned and slowly raised his head.

At this point, the dream was broken, and Zhang Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

After waiting for a long time, he glanced out the window and found that it was already bright. Then he turned and looked at the pillow. The two actors were not there. Aren't they still playing cards?

With this thought in mind, he got out of bed, washed himself, and came upstairs.

Standing outside the door on the third floor, he heard the laughter inside before he even knocked on the door. Sure enough, he was still playing cards.

He stopped knocking on the door and planned to buy some breakfast outside the school.

Unexpectedly, at this moment the door opened and Wen Hui walked out.

morning.

morning.

After saying hello, the two people looked at each other in confusion for a moment. Wen Hui closed the door and asked, Come to see the two actors?

Well, I came to see you too. Zhang Xuan, who had been tormented by his demons all night, blurted out these words.

Hearing this, Wen Hui stared into his eyes for a moment, then walked past him, and did not speak again until she reached the corner of the stairs:

I'm leaving. I hope the two of us can feel at ease during this last period of time.

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

Wen Hui stopped and asked, Can you promise me?

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

After waiting for 5 seconds and not hearing a reply, Wen Hui turned around and faced him, her black and white eyes seemed to say: If you really like me, you should help me.

Zhang Xuan remained silent, walked over, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth, then went downstairs.

Wen Hui didn't hide from the kiss, and looked at his leaving figure in trance.

After passing through the south gate, he bought some fried dough sticks, thousand-layer cakes, xiaolongbao and tofu puffs according to their tastes.

Boss, how much is it?

Seven dollars and a half in total.

Zhang Xuan put his hand into his pocket and was dumbfounded. He didn't bring any money to change clothes. This is the sequelae of always paying double bills. I habitually don’t look in my pocket when I go out.

Just when he was about to borrow a loan with this familiar face, he handed over a 10-yuan note to the boss.

Zhang Xuan turned sideways, I thought you weren't coming.

Meeting his eyes, Wen Hui seemed to have forgotten everything she had just done in the corridor, and said tacitly: I knew you didn't know how to bring money.

Zhang Xuan looked at her in front of him, it felt so good.

After paying, Wen Hui walked to another rice roll stall: Would you like to eat together?

Zhang Xuan agreed and sat down next to her.

Wen Hui asked: Are you going to Singapore tomorrow?

right.

Zhang Xuan responded: Old Deng is there, I will send Tao Ge over.

What Wen Hui was thinking: Because of Wall Street?

Zhang Xuan looked up at her.

Wen Hui explained: My eldest cousin works in a Wall Street investment bank, and I have heard about it.

Zhang Xuan nodded: Actually, we don't have to go to Singapore, but Lao Deng wants to get out of some sight. At the same time, he can also see some old American friends there, which will be helpful for gathering intelligence.

Wen Hui knew little about financial knowledge, so she didn't ask in depth. Instead, she asked about the human world: How is the progress now?

Zhang Xuan lied: Sometimes I don't have inspiration. It would be nice if you could play the piano more in the afternoon.

Her eyes fell on his face, and after analyzing his expression for a while, Wen Hui smiled knowingly: Why did you choose to lie in front of me?

Zhang Xuan said bluntly: Because I want to hear you play the piano.

Wen Hui was quiet for a while, remembering that her time at CUHK was short, and then asked: What songs do you want to listen to the most?

Zhang Xuan dragged his chin with his right hand: Butterfly Lovers.

Wen Hui looked away from him and turned her head to look at the quarreling couple next to her.

The man asked: Where did you go last night?

The woman said: I was at my mom's last night.

The man was furious: Bullshit on your mother! I was at your mother's place last night.

The woman stood up immediately and was equally angry: Why did you go to my mother's place last night?

.

Hearing this, everyone nearby burst into laughter.

Zhang Xuan was speechless, and so was Wen Hui. The two of them smiled at each other inadvertently, and after two seconds, they each looked away to watch the excitement.

The couple quarreled for a long time, very fiercely, and finally started fighting because the woman lost 400 yuan playing mahjong all night.

When the rice rolls came, they both lowered their heads and ate each. Even if we don't talk to each other, we don't feel awkward. After four years, we have become so familiar with each other that we can understand each other's meaning with every movement and look. At this time, it doesn't seem to matter if we say more or less.

After finishing the rice rolls, Wen Hui paid the bill.

When the two returned to the third floor carrying breakfast, the card game was still in full swing.

Zhang Xuan put breakfast on the dining table and said, You guys should have some breakfast first.

The four women all looked at him, ignored him, and continued to play their cards.

Zhang Xuan was speechless, Aren't you hungry?

The four girls still looked at him.

This look made Wen Hui laugh.

Damn it, what does this mean? I stopped waiting, so Zhang Xuan muttered and went back to the study on the second floor.

Start reading books and information.

At noon, Du Shuangling went downstairs to sleep, and Tao Ge also came down. After taking a bath, the two fell asleep.

After dinner, a few people continued. Zhang Xuan went crazy. How can you be so addicted to playing cards with no money?

On April 15, the rain stopped in the early morning, and a red glow appeared on the sky.

After breakfast, Zhang Xuan said to Du Shuangling, We're leaving. You take good care of yourself at school.

Well, be safe on the road.

Hey, I know that.

Departing from Yangcheng at 6 a.m., transferring from Xiangjiang, arriving in Singapore at early 4 p.m.

As soon as I got out of the airport, I met Lao Deng who was picking me up.

Welcome, Mr. Zhang. Lao Deng grinned and opened his arms for a hug.

Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids: Can you be more serious?

Tao Ge, welcome to Singapore. Lao Deng said in a serious manner, and he was treated differently.

Although Tao Ge was flirting in front of Zhang Xuan, he was still the elegant Tao Ge in front of outsiders, smiling and saying hello:

Old Deng, long time no see.

In the car, Zhang Xuan asked Lao Deng: How many people from the company are here?

Lao Deng said: We have only brought 16 people here now.

Zhang Xuan asked: How is the situation here?

Lao Deng said: Killing crazy!

Seeing the two people looking at him, Lao Deng gave a brief explanation: Continuing the situation in February, from March to the present, Soros and others have been borrowing money in the international market to raise money, and selling large amounts of leverage into Thai baht.

According to my friends on Wall Street, institutions led by Quantum Fund have repeatedly evaluated that maintaining this frequency, the Bank of Thailand’s foreign exchange reserves are not enough to maintain the Thai baht exchange rate.

Their method is simple and crude. They borrow Thai baht from the Bank of Thailand, then convert it into US dollars, and then throw it all at once internationally. After the Thai baht depreciates, they then exchange it for Thai baht to repay the debt.

The purpose is to force the Bank of Thailand to abandon the fixed exchange rate system. At that time, the entire Thai baht will become their unlimited money printing machine and they can take whatever they want.

After listening to this, Tao Ge fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: Isn't Soros unable to do such a big battle by himself? Is the United States supporting him behind the scenes?

Lao Deng said cautiously: Of course. The United States hopes to see that the hegemonic order is based on military and economic foundations, and dollar settlement is the most important part of the economic foundation. It seizes world wealth and maintains domestic economic stability in the United States. direct means.

I wonder if you have heard of the trap of semi-peripheral zone?

Tao Ge became interested in this new name, Tell me about it.

Lao Deng took a book and gestured on it with his fingers: The United States is this central area, and South Korea, Japan, Singapore, etc. have been selected as the semi-peripheral areas of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.

These countries in the peripheral zone seem to be allies of the United States, but in fact they are its younger brothers. At critical moments, they are even lambs used to drink blood and cut flesh.

At this point, Lao Deng took a sip of water and continued: The United States' own financial risks have gradually increased in recent years, so it needs to use the knife of US dollar settlement to transfer the crisis to the Asia-Pacific region.

Listening to Lao Deng's eloquent talk, Tao Ge pondered for a while and asked: Are you saying that in addition to Thailand, Singapore, South Korea and Japan may also be affected this time?

Lao Deng threw the book aside: This is what I speculate. As long as Thailand opens up, this situation is likely to arise.

Zhang Xuan asked: Are you in the game?

Lao Deng rubbed his hands and said excitedly: As a top financial student, this is an opportunity worth waiting for in a lifetime, so I naturally want to try it.

But don’t worry, I, Lao Deng, focus on stability. I have only followed it on a small scale a few times and made hundreds of thousands of dollars by taking advantage of the difference between the Thai baht and the US dollar. Because both sides are still in the strangulation stage, I am still waiting for the best opportunity.

Zhang Xuan recalled that it seemed that the early tug-of-war would last until July. At that time, when the Thai government announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system, it was the beginning of the Thai baht disaster, and it was also when the 1997 economic crisis officially kicked off.

It seemed that there was still time, but he was not in a particular hurry. With his thoughts at this point, he did not give any instructions, but let Lao Deng do it himself.

From the conversation just now, he still trusted Lao Deng's ability.

Raffles Hotel.

Zhang Xuan got out of the car and took a look: Old Deng, to be honest, I don't really like this kind of hotel with a strong Western style.

Lao Deng put his right arm around his shoulder: Our young Mr. Zhang, please just make do with it. It is also one of the most famous hotels in Singapore. People on Wall Street like to come in and out here. It is convenient for us to get some information here.

This reason is so powerful that it is beyond words.

After parking the car, several people entered the elevator. Lao Deng asked them for their opinions: Eat something to fill your stomach first, or should we have a meeting first?

Zhang Xuan said: It's only around 4 o'clock now. Let's meet people first and have a big meal later.

On the seventh floor, Lao Deng took Zhang Xuan and Tao Ge into a suite. This is a room rented by Yintai Capital on a long-term basis in this hotel.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a secretary with pink-rimmed eyes, black hair, fair skin, 168cm tall, very beautiful appearance, good body proportions, and a lot of capital under the white shirt.

Lao Deng introduced to the two of them: This is Chen Silu, a native of Xiangjiang. My schoolmate at the University of Pennsylvania is also my assistant. She once worked at Goldman Sachs. For her, I traveled to the United States three times and spent a lot of effort to invite her. of.

Then Lao Deng said: This is our boss, Mr. Zhang.

Hello, Mr. Zhang. Chen Silu extended her hand.

Zhang Xuan reached out and shook it, then nodded lightly: Hello.

Lao Deng continued to introduce: This is Tao Ge, Manager Tao.

Good afternoon, Manager Tao. Chen Silu was neither humble nor overbearing.

Good afternoon. Tao Ge half-squinted his eyes. After examining him for a moment, he suddenly smiled and shook hands gracefully.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lao Deng said to Chen Silu: Silu, go and inform Lao Han and the others to gather in the conference room.

Yes. Chen Silu responded politely, turned around and walked out.

When the door closed, Zhang Xuan asked: Old Deng, is it not easy for you to find such a top-notch person?

Lao Deng laughed: It's really not easy. I read more than 400 information from my friends before I fell in love with her. How about her? She's pretty, isn't she?

Let me tell you, working in finance is too boring and time-consuming. This is why many Wall Street colleagues frequently go to bars and nightclubs after work. They are under great pressure and need to vent their emotions. I couldn't be as unscrupulous as them, so I found something eye-catching to keep around me.

Zhang Xuan: .

Because Tao Ge was there, he didn't speak.

Through the brief contact just now, he found that Tao Ge was obviously wary of Chen Silu, and this attitude was not hidden. He expressed it to Chen Silu openly, and the meaning was already obvious, to get vaccinated.

Tao Ge and Lao Deng were no strangers. They had drank together and were even familiar with each other. He crossed his legs and said with a smile, If you hadn't explained a lot, I would have thought you were hiring people based on his preferences.

Lao Deng laughed loudly: I knew you would think so. But don't worry, if Mr. Zhang wants to do it, I'm not willing to do it. This is the company's and everyone's. I usually look at it and feel very beautiful. , if she became Mrs. Zhang, who would dare to watch it? That would be boring.

Zhang Xuan fainted, and he didn't know if Lao Deng was deliberately looking for fun?

However, in his opinion, Chen Silu was good-looking, but far from the stunning feeling that Mi Jian and Wen Hui brought to him.

After a while, Chen Silu came in and reported: Mr. Zhang, Mr. Deng, and Mr. Tao are all here.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan stood up: Let's go and take a look.

Lao Deng and Tao Ge stood up.

The small conference room is not far next door and is also rented by Yintai Capital on a long-term basis. There are 15 people in it, 12 men and 3 women.

Fortunately, fortunately, the three women were quite mediocre in appearance, and Lao Deng did not play tricks anymore.

Seeing Zhang Xuan enter the door, everyone stood up from their seats and paid attention to the great writer boss who had been famous for a long time but was still missing.

Facing all kinds of looks, Zhang Xuan calmly walked to the head of the oval conference table, sat down and said, Everyone, sit down!

Make introductions and take your seats.

Zhang Xuan sat in the first place, Lao Deng sat on his left, Tao Ge sat on the right, Chen Silu sat next to Lao Deng, and the others also took their seats according to their positions.

Zhang Xuan said: Before the meeting starts, please sign a confidentiality agreement, Lao Deng.

Zhang Xuan looked at Lao Deng, who took out the information from the briefcase he had prepared and handed it to Chen Silu before passing it on.

After everyone browsed the confidentiality agreement in their hands, they signed it without hesitation. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but nodded and continued:

Everyone must be curious about why they need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, some people have already signed it and participated in the preliminary work of the whole thing.

What we are going to discuss next is the main work plan for the next year or so. How should I put it, this work is, well, crazy! The funds are huge. Okay, I’ll just say that much for now. Lao Deng, I’ll leave it to you.

Okay, Mr. Zhang. Lao Deng glanced at Chen Silu, who stood up and distributed 18 pieces of information to everyone present.

After receiving Lao Deng's analysis data, Zhang Xuan relaxed his brows and looked calm.

But his heart is actually not that peaceful. Although he has been a man of two generations and has a forward-looking vision, the financial industry is an unfamiliar field to him, and this time Yintai Capital has accumulated 1.3 billion yuan in its account. This is not hundreds of thousands. , millions, tens of millions of funds, but a huge gamble of 1.3 billion, so even though I have the eyes to see into the future, even though I know that the success rate will be high, I can never achieve the indifferent attitude I say.

Are reborn people awesome? They are awesome! But it is impossible to conquer everything. The experience of the previous life determines your current height to a certain extent. You must know that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains.

This is why he always reminds himself to maintain a sense of awe and vigilance.

Of course, being cautious is prudent, and he does not underestimate himself. He is naturally confident that he can reach his current height step by step.

After everyone finished reading, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue when he saw Lao Deng looking at him.

Lao Deng said: Some time ago, Mr. Zhang asked me and Manager Tao to form a think tank. All of you here are the elites among the elites that I have carefully selected. They are also the prototype of our think tank. From now on, you will be directly responsible to Mr. Zhang.

After the formation of the think tank, Mr. Zhang and I speculated on a very crazy point of view. The reason why we say crazy is based on this analysis material: there will be an economic crisis this year, with a wide-ranging Asian economic crisis. .

As soon as Lao Deng finished speaking, the faces of everyone present were full of shock and astonishment.

Although they knew what they were doing, they didn't have the guts to think about the consequences so big and deep.

The people attending the meeting were all experts in this field, so they naturally knew the craziness and danger of this idea.

Although Wall Street has been badmouthing Thailand's economy since the past two years, in their view, this is a routine method before Wall Street preys on it, and it will not lead to a frightening economic crisis.

After everyone had digested the news, Lao Deng said: Based on this point of view of Mr. Zhang and me, I asked everyone to collect various information. Please see, blue represents the direction of international hot money, red represents the Thai baht and what can be relied on behind it. Pillar, international hot money has been pouring into Thailand in recent times. The Thai government and central bank have frequently taken countermeasures, but the effect is not as good as each time. What does this mean?

You are all experts in this field, and you also know that Soros has successfully robbed the Mark, so you naturally understand that the collapse of the Thai baht is a sign sooner or later, and the collapse of the Thai baht means that Thailand's decades of wealth accumulation will be wiped out by international hot money.

At this point, Lao Deng said coldly: Wall Street at this time has been kidnapped by certain interest groups and turned into a knife.

Judging from the crazy behavior of Wall Street colleagues, the blindness of rating agencies, the scale of international hot money, and the Western mainstream media’s badmouthing of Thailand, South Korea, and Singapore, it is difficult for me not to make the judgment that an economic crisis is very likely to occur. , the international hot money led by Soros has a huge appetite. Thailand may not be able to feed them. Their goal should be the Four Asian Tigers.”
