Chapter 1374: The Greatest Return (One Update)
"Please." Hearing that Lin Hongfei was willing to put forward conditions, Soros suddenly let go of most of his heart: as long as there are conditions, there will always be a solution...... Being willing to talk means that there are common interests.
"First of all, I have a sum of money, about $5 to $1 billion, which will be handed over to you around May '97, and I hope to be able to participate in your investment plan and make the most of it, and of course, in return, 30% of the net income of this money belongs to you."
"No problem!" For this, Soros agreed without hesitation, and was able to raise an extra amount of money, which is a good thing for Soros in itself, with this extra $1 billion, plus the financial leverage provided by the bank, Soros dares to guarantee in his reputation that he can earn billions of dollars more than the previous plan, although the 30% "handling fee" is slightly lower, but considering the special circumstances of this matter, it is very fair.
"Second, I hope that Mr. Soros will give up his plan to engage in the financial market on Hong Kong Island." Lin Hongfei said.
"For what?" Soros couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the second request made by Lin Hongfei turned out to be this, not to attack Hong Kong Island? That's a big piece of fat, why? "Because Hong Kong Island is part of your country?"
"There are reasons for this," Lin Hongfei nodded, he did not shy away from this, "but it is more about political considerations: 97 is the time when China will take back Hong Kong Island, and at that time, China's central government urgently needs to prove to the world that under the leadership of China's central government, Hong Kong Island's economy can still maintain sufficient development and vitality...... Your attack on the Hong Kong financial market at this time is tantamount to a slap in the face of the central government of our country, which has always paid the most attention to face, in order to save its own face. What do you think our government will do? ”
For Lin Hongfei's words, Soros was skeptical, but he couldn't help but groan: when drafting the plan before, he and his team certainly took this into account, but they didn't think about it deeply, and they didn't regard this matter as a big deal, but now it seems that they really don't think about it?
But he was a little skeptical, the central government of the republic could have such determination? Well, in other words. Even if they have such a lot of determination, they have such a big financial power as a giant?
"George, I think you should carefully consider Lin's suggestion, the Chinese are really a people who value face very much, if possible. I advise you to avoid Hong Kong Island. Seeing that Soros was hesitant in this matter, and also wanted to take a ride, Li Li, who had long forgotten what he was here for. Iacocca was immediately taken aback by the appearance of his old friend!
Soros has barely dealt with the government of the republic. Lack of understanding of the government of the republic. But Lee. Iacocca has been to the Republic so many times, how could he not know some of the diplomatic habits of the Republic? For Lin Hongfei's words, Li. Iacocca couldn't help but raise her hands and feet in agreement: the Chinese are really a very strange group of people, they value face far more than actual interests, and in order to save their own face, they do not hesitate to benefit. even did not hesitate to fight with the opponent to lose both.
"If they plan to snipe at me on Hong Kong Island, they will lose at least billions of dollars...... "Soros hesitated, some uncertain.
"Trust me, with what I know about them. In order to save their face, not to mention that it is only billions of dollars, even if it is tens of billions of dollars, they are willing to do it," Li said. Iacocca said to Soros in an unprecedented solemn tone, "But they are a country, and we ...... what they have lost."
No matter how powerful we are, even powerful enough to bully some small and medium-sized countries, but for the last big country that is booming, there is not much certainty of victory, it is very likely that we will kill 3,000 enemies and lose 1,000 ourselves, the problem is that if people lose 3,000, they can immediately replenish 3,000, and they lose 1,000? It would be nice to be able to add 500.
This is what I want to say to my old friend, Lee. Iacocca trusted her old friend to understand.
Soros really understood, but he was the kind of person who was difficult to be swayed once a decision was made, and after careful consideration, he gave an ambiguous answer, "I will carefully evaluate the ...... of this decision"
"It's not a careful assessment, but it's absolutely not!" Lin Hongfei waved his hand, correcting the mistake in Soros's words, "If you refuse, in the first half of 97, everyone in the world will be able to hear the news that the Quantum Fund is going to take action against the Thai Baht and Southeast Asia, and even a detailed offensive plan will be ...... Experts can tell at a glance whether this plan is feasible, Mr. Soros, do you think it? ”
"You're threatening me?" Soros's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a touch of fierceness in his eyes when he looked at Lin Hongfei!
No big financier is clean in his hands, and neither is Soros, and he doesn't mind taking out his opponents with some special means if necessary.
"If you think it's threatening you...... That's the threat! ”
Lin Hongfei met Soros's fierce gaze without showing weakness, without any intention of backing down, and said-for-tat, "Mr. Soros, I want to remind you that this is China!" In addition, although I am not very rich, I can take out one or two hundred million dollars, and you say, for the sake of these two hundred million dollars, how many outlaws, mercenaries, and killers will take risks? ”
Lin Hongfei's words made Soros stunned again! I almost thought that I was in a certain country in Africa: the people of the republic, haven't they always been accustomed to being submissive, no matter how much injustice is inflicted on them, they all choose to bear and endure silently, how can this Lin Hongfei be completely different from the Chinese he heard about as the president, so arrogant, so ...... Violence and retribution?
But in addition to being dumbfounded, Soros also had to carefully consider Lin Hongfei's words, because this bastard young man can really come up with one or two hundred million dollars, if this bastard really takes out one or two hundred million dollars as his revenge fund because of his threat, once he has three longs and two shorts, this revenge fund will be activated immediately...... Although he is worth tens of billions of dollars, he can't throw all his money away in order to save a small life, for those professional killers, mercenaries and outlaws who dare to do anything for money, 100 million dollars? It's okay for them to assassinate the head of the Fed.
Plum. Iacocca secretly screamed in his heart, why did he talk about it so well just now, and now the two can't help but "pull out their guns and face each other"? Two people, one is his financial supporter, and the other is his old friend for many years. What Iacocca wanted to see, he hurriedly stood between the two, stretched out his hand and pushed away the two guys who were like fighting cocks, "Both are discouraged, both are discouraged, it's just a little disagreement, our purpose is to make money, to live a happy life, not to fight for ......"
Speaking of which, Lee. Iacocca turned his head to look at Soros, "Old friend, I promise you with our friendship for so many years, if you really plan to attack Hong Kong Island, the central government of the Republic will definitely treat you in the most drastic way, maybe you will be on their blacklist, and there will be no chance to enter this market in the future...... Believe me, it's just a market with huge potential, and you only have to look at the development of this country over the years to know how far this country's economy can reach in the future, in the words of the Chinese. We don't need, and we don't need, to lose a big watermelon because of a sesame seed. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Soros to reply, Lee. Iacocca turned his head to look at Lin Hongfei again, and said, "Lin, as a friend, I want to say two things to you, we are all people with status, status, and dignity, no matter what happens, there is nothing that cannot be resolved through negotiation, what do you say?" ”
"Okay," Lin Hongfei looked at Soros, and then at Li. "You're right, we don't have to...... I take a step back, Mr. Soros, if you insist on attacking the Hong Kong Island stock market and the futures market, you can't use my own funds, but as a partner, I have an obligation to remind you that attacking Hong Kong Island is really not a wise decision. ”
As long as you don't attack Hong Kong Island, as for the Quantum Fund to attack other countries? That's the old man's! Anyway, among the countries attacked by the Quantum Fund, whether it is Southeast Asian countries, Japan, or Russia, they are not good birds, help them? Lin Hongfei is not so highly conscious.
Lin Hongfei took this step back, which also made Soros breathe a sigh of relief, as far as Soros's heart is concerned, he really doesn't want to compete with such a young and vigorous but incomparably wealthy young billionaire, these young people have achieved high-profile results at a young age, and they don't know what a compromise is, if this bastard really takes out 100 million dollars to reward his head, then the fun will be great!
Although Soros is not young, he really didn't live enough.
"Okay, I'll consider this suggestion carefully," since Lin Hongfei took a step back, Soros naturally has no reason not to retreat, although he didn't say it directly, but this is tantamount to telling Lin Hongfei in disguise that he is infinitely inclined to give up the decision to attack Hong Kong Island, but Soros is a little unwilling to be knocked by Lin Hongfei like this, and he also hitched a ride on his own, gritting his teeth and asking, "Mr. Lin, what can I get in return?" ”
"Return?" Lin Hongfei looked at Soros in surprise, as if he wondered why such a childish question would come out of the innermost part of a big man like him, "Mr. Soros, isn't it the greatest reward for me to keep this secret for you?" (To be continued......)
