Rebirth Capital Entertainment

Chapter 22: Suffering

1998 was not as spectacular as 1997, but more like a continuation of the major events in 1997. As January just passed, international speculators who had temporarily retreated once again gathered in Southeast Asia to make a comeback.

And Kaos, who has sufficient ammunition, finally does not need to watch as he did last year. Instead, he also joins this capital feast.

As early as the end of January, Kaos began to short the Indonesian rupiah with ten times the leverage. As the bridgehead of international speculators in 1998, Indonesia was the first battle and a target that must be conquered.

But the Indonesian government is certainly not a fool. It realized that the countermeasures formulated by the International Monetary Fund for Indonesia failed to achieve the expected results.

On February 11, the Indonesian government announced that it would implement a linked exchange rate system in which the Indonesian rupiah maintains a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar to stabilize the Indonesian rupiah.

However, this move was unanimously opposed by the International Monetary Fund, the United States, and Western Europe. How could such a thing be allowed to happen when everyone is waiting to make a windfall?

The International Monetary Fund directly threatened the Indonesian government and threatened to withdraw aid to Indonesia. This plunged Indonesia into a major political and economic crisis.

In order to maintain political stability and maintain the support of European and American governments, Indonesian President Suharto could only cancel the fixed exchange rate. The result of this was that the ratio of the Indonesian rupiah to the US dollar fell below 10 000:1 on February 16.

This direct impression caused the Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Thai baht, Philippine peso, etc. to fall one after another. It was not until April 8 that Indonesia and the International Monetary Fund reached an agreement on a new economic reform plan that the Southeast Asian currency market temporarily calmed down.

But at this time, the ratio of Indonesian rupiah to U.S. dollar had reached 14,150:1, which directly dropped by nearly one-third.

The 60 million US dollars invested by Kaos before has also increased to 280 million US dollars. Originally, Kaos should continue to make persistent efforts and follow the international capital to prepare to attack rb.

But at the end of May, the Chinese community in New York began to become a little restless. It was all because of some rumors that appeared in Southeast Asia and Indonesia, which made the local Chinese in the United States begin to feel uneasy, and this uneasiness also spread to a certain extent in the

The infection is widespread among Chinese people all over the world.

"Mom, is there no news from Second Grandpa yet?"

Kaos looked at his mother who was walking next to him and asked in a low voice while looking around.

There are houses with traditional Chinese architectural colors all around. Some are dilapidated, but there are many things in them that Kaos has never seen before, making them appear more ancient and traditional.

A large number of Chinese people gathered nearby and blocked the entrances and exits outside the street, making it impossible for the American police to enter, let alone ordinary American residents. In the central building, there was no noise.

and arguments sounded.

This is Chinatown in New York. I have only been to Kaos a few times in the past, but this is the first time I have seen such a formation. It is as exclusive and repressive as a powder keg, unable to touch a spark.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid it's not too good."

Kaos, who used to be a tigress-like mother, felt fear and fear from her for the first time. Kaos could feel his mother's hand holding his arm trembling slightly.

People in the 21st century can never imagine what the overseas Chinese were like in the 20th century. Before the reunification of the mainland, overseas Chinese held a mentality of supporting the rise of the motherland and actively participated in the anti-Japanese war.

There were countless people who participated in activities, donated money and materials, and even returned to China to fight the war.

Then after the reunification of the mainland, the Cold War began around the world, and overseas Chinese were under high pressure, and even they themselves did not know what choice to make.

There were various natural and man-made disasters at home, but there were various repressions and massacres overseas. In the great purge launched by Indonesia in 1965 alone, 400,000 Chinese died and more than 600,000 Chinese were arrested. The Chinese in this era are humble and timid.

.

Li Ka-shing's success and emergence in Hong Kong, and the reason why he is called "Superman Li" is that he launched an attack on the white world and succeeded. This means that overseas Chinese have come under the sun again, and it is also a Chinese force.

of raising his head.

With the reform and opening up in China, the living environment of overseas Chinese has been constantly improving, making everyone feel more and more hopeful about life, but they did not expect that Indonesia has once again poured cold water on them.

This has once again made Chinese people all over the world feel confused and a little at a loss. Everyone is speculating that this is just an emergency, or a signal that the world will return to the past.

Representatives from all walks of life in Chinatown have been discussing until night, but there is no general result. After all, the people here have limited energy. If the sky really falls, they have no ability to resist.

According to Kaos, such discussions are meaningless. In the end, we have to wait for the big Chinese groups in China and elsewhere to speak out before everyone can have a choice.

And the fact is this. When Kaos's grandfather came out, he just shook his head and let Han Huixian take Kaos back home first.

........................................

In the bedroom late at night, Kaos was sitting in front of the computer and was a little confused. He was just thinking about making money before, but he completely ignored what happened in Indonesia in 1998. It can be said that he was in China in his last life.

Didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

After all, compared to the safe environment for Chinese people in the interior, Kaos was just angry about it, but did not have much empathy. After reading the news, he forgot about it after a while.

But in such an environment, Kaos had a deeper feeling.

That night, Kaos sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard, and did something bad for the first time.

A website that only exists on the dark web was born with just a few clicks of a keyboard. The website's server is located in Europe, but the website targets bounties in Indonesia.

The URL of this website and the virus are hidden in the advertisements of some small websites. As long as the Internet users are from Southeast Asia, there is a certain chance that when the advertisement is turned off, they will jump to this dark web URL.

The website offers a reward for the safety of members of the Suharto family.

At the same time, 50 million in the Kaos account disappeared into the Swiss bank through scattered transfers to various accounts.
