Reborn Industrial Tycoon

After the seminar, Zhao Jinshan joined us again.

"Chairman Li, is the Asian financial crisis you just mentioned likely to happen?" Zhao Jinshan asked cautiously.

"If you ask me, I will definitely say that I am more than 90% sure. After all, I came to the conclusion myself!"

Li Weidong laughed and continued: "If you ask other people, they may think that the possibility of an Asian financial crisis is not high, and some may even think that this is completely nonsense."

"I believe you!" Zhao Jinshan nodded: "Then I will go to Malaysia to make a fortune, and then go to South Korea."

After Zhao Jinshan said this, he stepped forward again and whispered: "Chairman Li, since you know so much about finance, why don't we join forces and go to Southeast Asia to make a fortune together!"

"After a long time of trouble, you came to me for financing!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"No, I just think it would be unkind if I didn't express your advice to make a fortune." Zhao Jinshan replied.

"I think you are afraid that I will deceive you, so you drag me along. Even if you lose money, I will also lose money together. Then I won't dare to deceive you, right?" Li Weidong asked.

Although Li Weidong was right in his words, Zhao Jinshan was a very thick-skinned person after all. He immediately put on a serious expression and denied it flatly: "How could that be possible! I, Zhao Jinshan, am not that kind of person!"

Li Weidong said, "Mr. Zhao, I definitely didn't deceive you. You don't have to worry about that. Don't forget that at the seminar just now, Secretary Chen from Office X also attended in person.

Moreover, Secretary Chen came here with instructions from the leadership, asking us to discuss those three issues. Even if I want to deceive you, I don’t dare to deceive the leadership, right? The judgments I mentioned are really the results of my analysis. "

When Zhao Jinshan thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

What Li Weidong said at the seminar, as well as the conclusions he gave about the Asian financial crisis, were all to be reported to the leadership. Thanks to Li Weidong's courage, he did not dare to talk nonsense.

Li Weidong continued: "I am in industry, not finance. I actually don't understand much about financial warfare. Even if I join, I can't give you any advice.

I think you can just follow those international financial giants, especially a hedge fund called Quantum Fund. The owner of this fund is Soros, who is very good at financial sniper warfare.

When the time comes, you do what Soros does. If he shorts the currency, you will also short the currency. If he shorts the stock market, you will also short the stock market. If he attacks futures, you will follow suit. You will definitely make a lot of money.

One stroke."

"I have also heard of Soros and Quantum Fund. I heard people in the financial field in Hong Kong say that he is a real Wall Street financial tycoon, the kind who eats people without spitting out their bones!"

Zhao Jinshan pondered for a moment, "Chairman Li, since you all know that you can make a fortune by following Soros, then why don't you join us together! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you are lucky, you can make a fortune."

of!"

"Didn't I say that I am engaged in industry! Although industry cannot be separated from the support of the financial field, the same amount of funds is used differently by those engaged in industry and finance."

Li Weidong continued: "For example, when it comes to the depreciation of the Thai baht, those of you who are in the financial field may short the Thai baht or the Thai stock market, taking advantage of currency depreciation and the collapse of the stock market to make huge profits.

But we in the industrial sector are different. Given the same amount of money, we may acquire Thai companies, take advantage of the collapse of Thailand's economy, acquire their assets at low prices, and then make profits through production.

So even if I have money, I will not invest it in the financial market. What I value more is not the short-term profits from the foreign exchange market or the stock market, but the long-term industrial layout."

"I understand!" Zhao Jinshan nodded suddenly and said, "Chairman Li, do you plan to go to Southeast Asia to acquire factories?"

"The economic crisis is about to break out, and if I still buy factories, isn't that like being a takeover?" Li Weidong replied.

"Then what assets are you planning to buy? Is it a mineral?" Zhao Jinshan asked again.

Li Weidong showed a mysterious smile and replied: "The secret must not be leaked!"

…

After Secretary Chen returns, he will report the seminar to his superior.

Of course, Secretary Chen cannot be the only person in such a large X office. There are many office staff here specifically to serve the leaders.

Among them, Secretary Chen can only be regarded as a middle-level cadre. The real core personnel are several directors. They have their own division of labor and are also people who have the opportunity to work directly beside the leader, busy with everything.

Secretary Chen’s boss is also named Chen. Perhaps because of the same surname, he also takes great care of Secretary Chen.

Secretary Chen handed a document to Director Chen: "Director, this is the meeting summary I made. There are also meeting minutes at the back. Please take a look."

Director Chen opened the file and read ten lines at a glance.

Since Li Weidong was the first to speak, Director Chen quickly saw the content of Li Weidong's speech.

"Asian financial crisis? How is this possible! It's just Thailand that changed its monetary policy, and it's not Japan. How could it trigger the Asian financial crisis? I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue!" Director Chen said, shaking his head.

Secretary Chen immediately reported: "After Li Weidong proposed this conclusion, many experts on the scene also raised the same doubts. They cited some economic data from East Asian countries.

But Li Weidong believes that there are problems in the financial systems of East Asian countries, and if attacked from the outside, it can easily cause a systemic financial crisis, leading to the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis."

Director Chen nodded: "In this kind of seminar, everyone expresses their own opinions on economic forecasts. Although there is no right or wrong, rationality must still be considered!

When we report to our leaders, we must also pay attention to the control of the content. For some views that are obviously impossible and sensational, we should not describe them in detail, but simply introduce them to avoid wasting the leader's time.

Let’s do this. Let’s make a briefing on the content of this seminar and then hand it over to the leaders for review. There are some unrealistic predictions, so don’t write them in too much detail. Just give them a brief introduction.”

Secretary Chen nodded. The unrealistic prediction was of course what Li Weidong called the "Asian financial crisis."

…

At the Puppy Electric Factory, Li Weidong walked into Wang Jing's office and found that the silly Wang Jing rarely showed a depressed expression.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry? Say it and it will make me happy." Li Weidong asked with a smile,

"I got pissed off by that brat in my family! I don't study hard at all. I scored less than 500 points in the high school entrance examination. I can barely get into an ordinary high school. Don't expect to get into a key high school!" Wang Jing said with an annoyed look.

"What's so annoying about this? I just want to go to a key high school and pay the school a selection fee." Li Weidong replied.

"Pay it, it's a full 5,000 yuan! How could I give birth to such a prodigal thing..." Wang Jing couldn't help but cursed.

"Isn't it just 5,000 yuan! You, the factory manager, manage tens of thousands of workers, and you still need 5,000 yuan!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"This is not about money, the key is that my brat is not living up to expectations! There are all good students in key high schools, but with his academic performance, even if he gets into a key high school, he will be at the bottom, and he will definitely not be able to go to college in the future!

In today's society, if you just graduate from high school, what can you do? Maybe you will have to go to a technical school to learn to drive an excavator!" Wang Jing said.

Li Weidong said: "If you can't get into college, just send your children to study abroad! You can get into foreign universities with money."

"You can get into a foreign university with money? Is it true?" Wang Jing asked.

"Of course it's true. Even if you donate five million to Harvard University in the United States, you can get in." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Five million yuan? It's better to leave it to your son directly. Even if you save it in the bank and earn interest, he won't starve to death!" Wang Jing said.

"What are you thinking about! How can an American university accept RMB? I'm talking about five million US dollars!" Li Weidong replied.

"Spend five million US dollars? Just to go to college? Then I'd better have another son! The worst I can do is pay a fine for being an overachiever." Wang Jingda has an aura of abandoning the tuba and practicing the trumpet.

"So, you have to continue to struggle, work hard to make money, and save a wife's book for your son!" Li Weidong's expression became solemn, and then said: "Next, you have to get busy again."

"Is it possible that we need to expand production capacity?" Wang Jing asked.

Li Weidong nodded: "Not only must we expand, but we must also expand significantly."

"Why? Our current production capacity is completely sufficient!" Wang Jing said.

"Next, I plan to launch another price war. By then, the sales volume of the product will definitely increase, so we must expand production capacity."

Li Weidong paused and continued, "And this price war is of extraordinary significance. We are not targeting domestic companies, but Southeast Asian companies."

Wang Jing showed a confused expression, obviously not quite understanding.

Li Weidong continued: "A financial crisis is about to break out in Southeast Asia, which will seriously affect their manufacturing industry. It is estimated that a large number of factories in Southeast Asia will not be able to survive this financial crisis.

This is a good opportunity for China. Taking advantage of the problems in Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry, we can take over all their manufacturing industries and form our own industrial chain.

The manufacturing difficulty of small household appliances is lower than that of large appliances. In recent years, Japan has invested in many factories producing small household appliances in Southeast Asian countries. If we want to take over the business of these small household appliances, we must expand production capacity and reduce costs!

I choose a price war at this time because I also want to take this opportunity to suppress small home appliance factories in Southeast Asia. They are already facing a financial crisis and their production stability will be affected.

If the production cost is relatively high, the production business will inevitably shift to us. We can also take this opportunity to cultivate a complete small home appliance industry chain.

In the manufacturing industry, things like the industrial chain are very important. Once a complete industrial chain is formed, it will not be easy to move away. By then we will have the opportunity to control the global small home appliance business."

Wang Jing nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you tell me!"

…

The Southeast Asian financial crisis is an opportunity that cannot be missed for Li Weidong.

The fastest way to make money is naturally to learn the methods of financial giants like Soros and launch an attack from the financial aspect, whether it is short selling currency or short selling the stock market, adding dozens of times of leverage without too much investment.

You can make a lot of money.

But Li Weidong does not intend to use this method to make money. After all, he is an industrialist. Making short-term profits through financial means is not on Li Weidong's menu.

In addition to relying on finance, the second way to make money during the Asian financial crisis was to acquire assets at low prices.

For the financial giants on Wall Street, the Asian financial crisis is a feast, and for European and American investors, it is an opportunity to make money.

Southeast Asia and South Korea suffered heavy losses during the Asian financial crisis and had to open up many areas or sell off some assets. This allowed foreign capital to acquire many assets with very little money.

Take South Korea as an example. After the Asian financial crisis, foreign capital aggressively purchased shares of Korean companies at low prices.

In 2004, South Korea emerged from the Asian financial crisis and successfully recovered its economy, but the price they paid was 58% of Samsung's shares, 55% of Hyundai's shares, and 70% of Posco's shares, all controlled by Western capital. Daewoo

It was even sold directly to Western companies.

In the financial field, Western capital’s share of the eight largest banks in South Korea has reached 64%. Korea First Bank is 100% controlled by Citibank, Kookmin Bank of Korea holds 84% ​​of foreign shares, Hana Financial has 76% of foreign shares, and Foreign Exchange Bank has 76% of foreign shares.

Accounting for 74% of the shares, Shinhan Financial’s foreign capital accounts for 63%. It can be said that the entire financial field in South Korea is controlled by foreign capital.

At that time, Western countries used less than 20 billion US dollars in assets to annex South Korea's strategic enterprises and financial assets.

Nowadays, South Korea is a 1.6 trillion economy. If you calculate it like this, this deal is really a super deal.

The situation in Southeast Asian countries is similar to South Korea. Taking advantage of the Asian financial crisis, Western countries purchased assets at low prices. In addition to the United States, countries with colonial histories in Southeast Asia, such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, also received a large share of

cake.

The manufacturing level in Southeast Asia is average, but the resources are really rich. Thailand has tin mines, Malaysia has natural gas, and Indonesia has oil, coal mines and nickel mines. These are all coveted resources.

But it is a pity that Li Weidong can only look at these good things, but cannot touch them.

At that time, those who had the ability to plunder the assets of Southeast Asia and South Korea were the United States and their younger brothers. How could this piece of fat get Li Weidong's turn?

And even if Li Weidong can buy some high-quality assets, he may not be able to keep them.

Southeast Asia has always been dominated by strongman politics, and there are too many unreasonable things. If a political strongman comes to power one day, Li Weidong's assets may be confiscated in one sentence, and Li Weidong will lose all his money.

So Li Weidong chose something more practical. He planned to take advantage of the Asian financial crisis and the total collapse of Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry to steal the small home appliance manufacturing business from Southeast Asian countries!

When the Asian financial crisis broke out, Western investors were busy hunting for low prices. They did not realize that the real wealth of Southeast Asia was not those assets, but Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry.

Stealing Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry is the real drain on the economy.
