Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 1997 has quietly arrived.
On February 6, New Year’s Eve, Zhengxinzhai was extremely lively.
Old lady Li Biyu started busy early in the morning, while Liu Zhina and Li Hairen acted as assistants, one in charge of the garden and the other in charge of the living room.
Chen Hengjun still looked carefree, wearing headphones and swaying randomly to the music, while Chen Daojun was holding a law book and reading it with great concentration.
"Hey, brother, what are you talking about when the old man called dad upstairs for so long? I remember this is the first time dad was called into the study." Chen Hengjun suddenly took off his earphones, He whispered to Chen Daojun.
Chen Daojun recalled that it was true that the old man had never let his father enter the study before.
"I don't know, but uncle and the others have all gone in. I guess grandpa has something to discuss with them." Chen Daojun comforted.
Chen Hengjun pointed to Qin Hao who was talking to Li Biyu in the living room, "Have you noticed that that guy hasn't been to grandpa's study for a long time."
Director Chen Jun subconsciously looked in the direction of his brother's finger, and Qin Hao's eyes happened to be looking there as well. Their eyes intertwined in the air, and they gave each other a shallow smile.
"Is this guy making some big move again?" Chen Daojun's mind was racing.
"This year is 1997, wait until 1997, could it be"
In the study, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, not at all like a scene of relatives gathering together during the New Year.
With the passage of time, if Chen Yangzhe still had some doubts about his grandson's judgment before, after New Year's Day in 1997, the only remaining doubts had disappeared. From the information he collected It seems that the signs of a financial crisis are already beginning to appear.
"How much liquidity does the company have now?" Chen Yangzhe asked with a frown.
Neither Chen Dongji nor Chen Huaying spoke, but turned their attention to their eldest brother Chen Yongji. As for Chen Yunji, he did not participate in the group's tasks at all, and had a completely outsider mentality.
Chen Yongji cursed in his heart, but he finally got his job back, so he had to behave well, otherwise the old man would get upset and jerk him off again one day.
“Currently, Shunyang Group still has US$2.3 billion in liquidity in its account. If all funds from various subsidiaries are withdrawn, there should be another US$200 million.”
< p>Chen Yangzhe frowned when he heard this, "How come there is so little money left with the funds withdrawn from the Japanese stock market?"Chen Yunji smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, the money I invested in the Japanese stock market before was originally barely squeezed." After the funds were returned, a lot of arrears were repaid, and Shunyang Semiconductor has been expanding in recent years, including acquisitions and investment in the construction of new factories. It is burning money every day."
< p>Chen Huaying also took the opportunity to complain, "Yes, Dad, you are too partial to Haojun. In order to satisfyTo meet Samsung's supply needs, it has been adding production lines, spending at least a billion dollars in these years.""Idiot"
Before Chen Huaying could finish complaining, Chen Yangzhe Angrily interrupted, "Do you think we are the only semiconductor company in the world? If it cannot meet Samsung's supply needs, Samsung will purchase semiconductors from Japanese companies. Do you want me to give up the order to competitors?"
Chen Huaying was too frightened to say anything.
Chen Yangzhe looked at these incompetent children and not only lamented that he had given birth to so many idiots in his lifetime, but these short-sighted guys thought they were. Samsung has been taking advantage of Shunyang. In fact, Samsung has been pulling Shunyang Semiconductor away.
After a while, Chen Yangzhe finally calmed down and faced the situation. We still have to face reality. US$4.3 billion is not a sufficient amount of funds, but if a financial crisis does occur, it will be enough to do something.
"You know how much liquidity Haojun has on hand. "?" Chen Yangzhe's eyes fell on his second son, Chen Dongji.
When he mentioned this Chen Dongji, he became angry. After all, he was also his own father, so he guarded his son as much as he guarded against thieves. He agreed to pay dividends for five years, but he invested fifty to sixty million dollars in it over the years, but he didn't get a penny.
"This"
Seeing the embarrassment on his second son's face, Chen Yangzhe knew that he could not count on him.
"Yunji, how much liquidity do you have?" Chen Yangzhe could only place his hope on his third son.
Chen Yunji was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that his father was going to borrow money from him
"There are still almost fifty million US dollars. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Chen Yongji and the other three fell on Chen Yunji.
Even Chen Yangzhe was very surprised. Is it secret that the film company makes money like this
p>
"Well done, don't touch this money for now. "Chen Yangzhe rarely praised his third son.
"Yes. "
Seeing his third son agreeing so readily, Chen Yangzhe couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that this boy's liquidity is more than 50 million?
"Father, what do you have next? Is there a plan?" Chen Yongji was naturally unwilling to be upstaged by his third brother, so he began to change the topic.
Chen Yangzhe nodded, "Well, according to the information I have collected so far, it is possible that a The financial crisis sweeping across Asia is already brewing. I ask you to shrink your business scope, on the one hand, to minimize losses, and on the other hand, to reserve liquidity to prepare for the winter. "
"At the same time, after the financial crisis, a large number of companies will go bankrupt, and what we have to do is to take the opportunity to acquire those high-quality assets and expand the group's business. ”
“The next step, Shunyang Group’s key project is cars”
When the four brothers and sisters Chen Yongji heard this, their faces were filled with horror. In addition to the shock brought by the news of the financial crisis, In addition, moreMost of it is due to the old man's decision to focus on developing the automobile business.
"Dad, is this too hasty? Just a few hundred million dollars is not enough to develop the automobile industry, and Shunyang Automobile is not our main business."
Chen Yangzhe glanced at the four children with a majestic look, "This is my decision. You just need to do things according to my instructions. Do you also think that I am old and can't even compete with that boy Haojun?"< /p>
"Haojun"
"Yes, the next development focus of Haojun's Samsung Group is also cars."
Chen Yongji immediately changed his attitude. Regarding this nephew, He has long hated it, and now that he has the opportunity to severely defeat the other party, he will naturally go all out.
Chen Dongji also wanted to use the old man's hand to teach his son a lesson, letting him know that if he wants to inherit Shunyang Group, he has to look to his father.
As for Chen Huaying, she also tends to give Qin Hao some color and let him know how to respect her aunt.
Only Chen Yunji was a little embarrassed. He had always had a good impression of Qin Hao, and he was the only one who was friendly to their family. But there was nothing he could do about it. His opponent in the ring was the old man. He just I can stand on the old man's side.
Before leaving the house, Chen Yunji was suddenly stopped by the old man.
"Yunji, please stay here for a moment."
"Yes."
The three brothers and sisters Chen Yongji walked out of the study, but did not go to the living room downstairs. I found a place to sit down.
"What do you think the old man would say if he left Yoongi here?" Chen Yongji asked.
"What else can I say? It's just borrowing money, but are movie companies really that profitable now? Yoongi actually has 50 million US dollars in his hands." Chen Huaying is more concerned about that sum. money.
Chen Yongji suddenly felt something in his heart and looked downstairs subconsciously.
"Does this nerd really have that kind of ability?"
The scene from ten years ago appeared in Chen Yongji's mind. At that time, Chen Daojun also proposed to the old man and succeeded. The "child prodigy" who predicted the results of the general election was later ignored because his second son performed too miraculously.
"Perhaps, we can use his strength to compete with the second room"
Once this idea emerged, he could no longer suppress it. Chen Yongji was excited but also secretly sad. Look. Looking at other people's sons, and then looking at his own, it made him wonder if he had done some evil in his previous life, so that this kid Chen Xingjun tortured him.
Not long after, Chen Yunji came out of the study. Chen Yongji and the other three swarmed around him, asking what the old man had said to him.
Chen Yunji forced a smile, "It's nothing, I just asked about Dajun's studies and so on."
Both Chen Dongji and Chen Huaying looked like I believe you are a ghost. expression.
Only Chen Yongji was deep in thought. If the old man was also interested in that boy Chen Daojun,Doesn’t it prove his value even more?
During the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The old lady Li Biyu said, "Tomorrow is the Old Right. Let's get up early to worship our ancestors."
The "Old Right" the old lady said is actually the Spring Festival, but it is The names are different.
Chen Yangzhe nodded, "Well, it is indeed time to pay homage."
Li Biyu said regretfully, "It's a pity that Xianmin is not here this year, otherwise we can let our ancestors bless us." She will get pregnant earlier."
Qin Hao had no choice but to explain, "The Spring Festival is not open in the United States. Xianmin is busy recently. I will ask her to come back to see you after she is finished."< /p>
"It's not necessary to look at me, an old woman. The key is that you and your husband can't be separated for a long time. Women, family is the most important thing, don't you think so?" Li Biyu was a little unhappy and even pulled his two sons. The daughter-in-law helped.
Liu Zhina and Li Hairen could only echo in embarrassment.
There is no way, the old child becomes more willful as he gets older, so Qin Hao can only try his best to coax the old lady.
Then the other day, the family, led by Chen Yangzhe, came to the ancestral hall in the countryside to worship. At this time, relatives from all branches of the Chen family also came, two or three in total. Among the hundreds of people, Chen Yangzhe, as the largest chaebol in Goryeo, naturally received extremely high courtesy and was arranged to be the first to enter the ancestral hall to offer incense.
After offering incense, Chen Yangzhe donated a sum of money to cover the cost of repairing the ancestral hall. Qin Hao couldn't help but see that all the old teeth of those clansmen were almost falling out and they were still smiling so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. With emotion, it turns out that money can speak to the gods.
After returning to Seoul in the afternoon, Qin Hao was busy visiting relatives with his cheap dad. The Spring Festival in Korea is different from that in China. In China, you can give gifts and visit relatives from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
But in Korea, only New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are used for New Year greetings.
Fortunately, all the old men of Mr. Chen Yangzhe’s generation have already left, otherwise he would not be able to finish the journey in two days.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Hao was reading a book leisurely at home when a servant suddenly ran over.
"Master Haojun, Master Daojun is here."
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be the first time that Chen Daojun took the initiative to come to his home.
"Okay, I understand, you go and entertain me first, don't be rude."
"Yes."
Putting away the book, Qin Hao got out of the recliner He sat up, stretched, and walked slowly to the living room.
After the servant left, Chen Daojun said with a serious face, "I have a piece of information here to offset our previous agreement, how about it?"
Qin Hao drank He drank tea and smiled, "Isn't it a bit too expensive to offset the favor you owe me with just one piece of information?"
"What if this information is about the uncle?" Chen Daojun took his time. The way.
Qin Hao thought for a moment, "So, he came to you for cooperation."
"How did you know?" Chen DaojunHe was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't send anyone to monitor you." Qin Haodian analyzed calmly, "The uncle formed an alliance with my aunt before, but after the uncle lost power, the alliance between the two collapsed. He has just been reinstated and his power has been greatly damaged. Although my father is a fool, he is not stupid. It is impossible to help him deal with me. The only people who can win over are you and your son. But the third uncle is not interested in Shunyang Group. The only partner he can find is you."
Seeing Qin Hao's clear analysis, Chen Daojun had to admit that his cousin's success was definitely not due to his grandfather's relationship.
"Promise him"
Chen Daojun was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized, "You mean, let me be an undercover agent"
" A piece of information can't offset the favor you owe me. Help me keep an eye on him. After this matter is over, we won't owe each other anything." Qin Hao raised his teacup to Chen Daojun.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Daojun said, "I can help you this time, but I won't let you inherit Shunyang Group easily."
"Then everyone depends on their ability. Okay”
“It’s a deal”
In the next half month, everything was calm. GDP in Asian countries hit new highs again and again, and the four Asian tigers even saw the stock and property markets hit record highs. A new high, a prosperous scene.
However, in mid-February, a mysterious international capital suddenly began to short the Thai baht.
However, Thailand responded quickly this time, using US$2 billion of foreign exchange reserves to intervene to calm the turmoil and maintain the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar at 25:1. This mysterious international capital Then everything died down, and it seemed that Thailand had won a complete victory.
However, just three months later, this mysterious international capital launched another attack on the Thai baht. This time the attack was even more fierce. At one time, the exchange rate of the Thai baht to the US dollar hit 27:1, which was As a result, Thailand had to once again use US$5 billion in foreign exchange reserves to calm market panic.
Since then, Thailand's foreign exchange reserves have been seriously insufficient, like a wounded prey, and the wolf-trampling tigers and leopards looking around have exposed their fangs. Please remember to bookmark the website, the latest, fastest and free to read without anti-theft
