Chapter 1554 I Don’t Believe It

"I don't believe you."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"Then how can you be sure that the Xinfadi you founded can develop?"

"No business is 100% profitable." Jiang Hua shrugged. "When I read the newspapers at that time, there were endless articles about the problem of urban residents having difficulty getting vegetables. An ordinary person would complain about it, but a businessman with vision would think it was a business opportunity."

"All successful businessmen are like this. They see business opportunities first and then work on them." Jiang Hua emphasized: "It's not like I work in an industry first and then look for business opportunities."

"But in reality, many businessmen are like this. They first set up a company, engage in a certain industry, and then look for orders."

Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head: "So I just said that a successful businessman does this."

Jiang Hua continued, "You just said that I acquired many state-owned enterprises, but you didn't find out that I didn't take the initiative to acquire these enterprises. This was forced upon me by my superiors in order to properly resettle those workers and deal with the debts of these companies."

"Isn't there any benefit to that?"

"Of course there are benefits." Jiang Hua said as a matter of course: "Mature and experienced workers, certain scientific research capabilities, and cheap land and equipment."

“Is there any land that is not valuable?”

"Of course, the land was really worthless at that time." Jiang Hua nodded: "Let's put it this way, the loans I paid for those bankrupt companies were enough for me to buy a piece of land at that time and rebuild a prefecture-level city."

"And let me tell you, I didn't have the idea of ​​going into manufacturing at first. I only had a research institute at the beginning. I was going to follow the path of Bell Labs and license technology to companies. Who knew that my boss would force so many companies on me? I couldn't waste them. I had to properly place those workers and find them jobs, so I had no choice but to continue running the company."

“Why would they give you a bankrupt company?”

"I had money at that time." Jiang Hua smiled. "Plus, my background is here. If I dare to say no to this, my father will break my legs when I get home. This is the responsibility that my background brings me."

"Really? I never thought of that." Lu Yu said with a smile, "I have interviewed some wealthy people in Hong Kong before and asked them about their impression of you."

"What impression?" Jiang Hua said cheerfully, "If it's not a good impression, then there's no need to say anything. I also have to maintain my own image."

"Definitely a good impression." Lu Yu smiled: "Everyone thinks you are a genius in finance."

Jiang Hua laughed: "This image is quite misleading. I actually know nothing about financial operations."

"But every time there is a major turmoil in the international financial market, you and your friends can make a fortune from it."

Jiang Hua smiled and waved his hand: "It's not about financial means, but about the judgment of form. You have to know that when I graduated from Jingcheng University, I was engaged in diplomatic work."

"My main job at that time was to read foreign newspapers and judge whether something was going to happen in the world." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "This gave me a good professional habit. Later, after I went into business, whenever I judged that there would be a big fluctuation in the world, whether it was military fluctuation or political fluctuation, it would always cause financial fluctuation. From a business perspective, since I judged the fluctuation, I had no reason not to get a piece of the pie." "In other words, you really don't know how to operate in the financial market."

Jiang Hua nodded: "I don't know. I don't even know how short selling works. I just judged that something will happen in the future and how we can profit from it. The specific operation will be handled by professional investment managers."

“I can’t believe this.”

"You really have to believe this. For example, during the Hong Kong financial crisis in 97, when did I predict it?"

"When?"

"We thought of this a few years ago when the Mexican peso was attacked," Jiang Hua said with a smile.

"But it was four or five years ago."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Because after reviewing the situation, I found that the Mexican financial control methods are everywhere in Southeast Asia. I think the other party's fund will not use such a good opportunity and method only once."

"Then how did you predict that it would happen in 1997 and that it would eventually attack Hong Kong? You know, Hong Kong's financial supervision is much stronger than those in Southeast Asian countries."

"That's easy." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Hong Kong was already the financial center of Asia at that time. If we can succeed here, the profits will exceed those in the whole of Southeast Asia. Although financial supervision is strict, when the whole of Southeast Asia is in turmoil, Hong Kong will definitely be greatly affected. By then, they will come with a big momentum, with a lot of international hot money and strong capital. No matter how strict the supervision in Hong Kong is, they will not take it seriously."

“Then why 1997?”

"It couldn't be simpler. In 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, there was a lot of confusion during the handover. Hedge funds wanted to take advantage of this gap. If the handover was done properly, Hong Kong and the mainland would be united, and they would have no chance to take advantage of it."

"That makes sense." Lu Yu asked hesitantly, "Then why should we announce the news to the public? This way, the entire Hong Kong financial community will be prepared."

"There is an emotion called panic." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Sometimes, the losses caused by panic are far greater than the losses caused by the impending disaster. Moreover, if we do not make it public, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. If we make it public, I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark. Which form is better? I believe you can judge."

Jiang Hua continued, "After we analyzed the situation, we reported the news to our superiors. The reason why we were able to shut down the company and deal a fatal blow to the hedge fund was because we had prepared for it several years in advance."

“It sounds really thrilling!”

"It's not that shocking actually." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "If possible, I really hope there won't be all these fluctuations. Although we won a great victory in the end, some Hong Kong citizens will suffer losses, but we can't lose the big picture for the small."

Then Lu Yu asked about those old stories again, and his friends gave answers one by one. They were all reasonable and did not affect Jiang Hua's upright image.

"This time, the Ministry of Commerce has put Huaxing Shipping on the blacklist." Lu Yu finally revealed her true intentions: "May I ask what do you think about this?"
