"Imported drugs are currently in the mainland market. Can't they do business properly? Why do they have to resort to such means?"
"Boss, Wang Dongming is gone, how can the company have funds? These guys just ran away with a lot of money, leaving behind an empty shell company. The victims can only blame themselves."
Zhong Qing shook his head. The gang has disappeared now, and the local police have no good way.
Du Shaojie didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he was quite relieved to know that Liu Dongfang didn't lie.
"Is there any news about Li Changsong and others?"
He changed the subject and asked about Li Changsong's whereabouts.
What Li Changsong and others did was too much. Du Shaojie didn't want to let them go, and he had been inquiring about their whereabouts through various channels.
"There is a piece of news, which has not been confirmed, saying that Li Changsong is in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean. Some people also said that he had a falling out with the boss behind him and ran to Bangkok alone."
After Zhong Qing inquired from many sources, he finally confirmed that Li Changsong was not in Hong Kong.
As for whether the other party was in Los Angeles or Bangkok, it was unclear. In short, it was all unconfirmed news.
"Keep asking around. Hong Kong has frequent exchanges with the rest of the world. Someone must know the whereabouts of that guy."
Du Shaojie ate a [Beef and Egg Rice] in the small restaurant and left.
Zhong Qing's small restaurant has a good business. It is hard to find a seat at meal time, which is enough to cover the other party's daily expenses.
After leaving the small restaurant, Du Shaojie went directly to the office of Dingxin International.
"You said you have important things to discuss with me, so let's have a meeting."
Du Shaojie called a meeting of the company's senior management to hear what big plans they have.
As a result, after listening for a long time, everyone's meaning was basically the same, that is, Hong Kong's real estate is very hot now, and the company should take the opportunity to speculate and gain considerable benefits in the short term.
"There is no need to mention this matter again. You should not forget my principles, right? We are determined not to speculate in real estate. Next topic."
Du Shaojie knew very well that this wave of real estate fever in Hong Kong would plummet before the return.
He couldn't say the reason, but the company did have a rule not to speculate in real estate, so he didn't need to explain.
Liang Meiqin, Winnie and others didn't dare to say anything except feeling sorry in their hearts.
However, Fan Shilun had other things to do, so everyone listened to his speech quietly.
"The US dollar interest rate is about to rise, and I think we should allocate more US dollar assets. According to my judgment, the Hong Kong dollar and the currencies of Southeast Asian countries may depreciate significantly."
Fan Shilun's suggestion was quite standard, but considering some of the predictions in it, it was a bombshell.
Because according to him, Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, will encounter a financial crisis, or even an economic crisis.
Du Shaojie didn't say anything, but raised his eyelids and glanced at Fan Shilun, and he was indeed a little surprised.
Because he had advanced knowledge, he naturally knew that the "Asian financial crisis" was about to happen. But Fan Shilun dared to predict the occurrence of this crisis just through some public information, which was admirable.
He remembered that this crisis started in Bangkok. Due to the collapse of the Thai baht, a chain reaction occurred, and Asian countries were hit one after another.
"You can decide on the allocation of funds. It's okay to have more US dollars. The risk of the Hong Kong dollar should not be great. The currencies of Southeast Asian countries, such as the Thai baht, should be the most risky, right?"
Du Shaojie remembered that when the Asian financial crisis occurred, it was already 1997.
At that time, because of the strong support of the mainland, Hong Kong's economy was not plundered, and the currency withstood the attack of international hot money and performed relatively stable.
But those Southeast Asian countries were miserable. Since then, the economy has regressed and people's livelihood has declined. It took 10 to 20 years to recover.
Fan Shilun's suggestion was passed. Hong Kong implemented a policy of free convertibility of funds. It is still very easy to convert the stock into US dollars.
However, Du Shaojie did not mention shorting the Thai baht. He does not like speculative risks and has no plans to do so. There are many ways to make money, and there is no need to get involved in everything.
After the meeting, Fan Shilun followed him into the chairman's office.
"Mr. Du, have you ever considered shorting the Thai baht or other currencies?"
Fan Shilun has an adventurous spirit in his bones. He feels that he has made a good judgment this time and it is a pity to miss this opportunity.
Du Shaojie shook his head and said, "Our company is actually mainly engaged in industrial investment. I don't want to take too much risk, so I haven't thought about getting rich overnight."
"That's fine, but if my prediction is correct, the Southeast Asian countries may be in trouble in the future. We can consider acquiring some high-quality cheap assets."
Seeing that his boss was unmoved, Fan Shilun stopped persuading him.
He then made a new suggestion, that they could go to Southeast Asian countries as soon as possible to conduct inspections and look for prey.
"That's possible. Go around first and tell me if there is a suitable target, and I'll go and take a look."
Du Shaojie thought this suggestion was good. There are several countries in Southeast Asia known as the "Four Asian Tigers", and their economic foundations are good. For example, the electronics industry is well developed.
He suddenly remembered Yu Mo's [Dongsheng Electronics], which seemed to have a first-class printed circuit board company.
He asked Fan Shilun to investigate first, because it was not enough to just talk about it on paper.
Fan Shilun was very happy. Although the boss was unwilling to take risks, if he could acquire high-quality and cheap assets, he would also make a lot of money.
A few days later.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo came to Hong Kong again.
They came here to buy a house. Recently, many mainland celebrities have also bought houses in Hong Kong, and local celebrities in Hong Kong are even more keen on investing in real estate.
"Ajie, the housing prices in Hong Kong will definitely rise sharply. As far as I know, no less than 10 celebrities have bought houses here recently. Abo and I discussed and decided to get on board as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to spend more money in two years."
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo have made a lot of money in the past few years, but they are very slow to understand the market situation of the real estate market. They didn't think of buying a house until the housing prices were about to reach the ceiling.
They felt that so many celebrities were rushing to buy houses, and they would definitely not lose money if they entered the market now.
"What does this have to do with whether he is a star or not? If it were me, I would not follow the trend. Those who follow the trend are often the last ones to take over. If you believe me, just wait until after 1997. If you don't believe me, forget it."
Du Shaojie was a little powerless to complain. It was not uncommon for stars to fail in investment. After the financial crisis, there were stars who went bankrupt. Wouldn't it be faster to follow the trend?
But he would not say too much. It was enough for friends to say this much. Whether they listened or not, he would not persuade them again.
"Really? Ajie, do you think the real estate market in Hong Kong is about to end? Then I have to think about it carefully. You are always very accurate in seeing things. I feel suspicious when you say that."
Pang Weidong believed in Du Shaojie very much. He felt that the other party had never made a wrong judgment in all these years.
Anyway, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer. The other party said to wait until after 1997, so let's talk about it when the time comes.
Xu Bo's personality is relatively soft. He always takes Pang Weidong's opinion as the main one in such matters, and immediately gave up the plan to buy a house now.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie was dragged to a KTV by the two men.
It was quite funny to say that they owned the most influential [Yuedong Entertainment] in China and were giants in the entertainment industry, but they ended up going to Hong Kong to sing.
Of course, singing was just a cover, and the purpose of the two men was to mingle with the beautiful ladies.
Du Shaojie did not spoil the fun, and accompanied the two men to drink and sing all night, with two graceful girls sitting beside him. However, he did not plan to take the two girls to get a room.
After coming out of the karaoke bar, Pang Weidong suggested having a midnight snack.
Du Shaojie did not object, and the three of them took six beautiful-looking girls to a seafood restaurant.
It can be seen that Pang Weidong and Xu Bo had both taken care of the girls around them. After dinner, the four girls went to the hotel with the two of them.
Du Shaojie gave tips to the two girls around him and asked them to take a taxi back by themselves. The two girls looked very disappointed. In a place like KTV, it is difficult to meet a handsome and rich guest like him.
The next day.
Pang Weidong, Xu Bo and Du Shaojie had breakfast together, and then called a few girls to go out to sea on a yacht.
It doesn't matter what you do or not, the key is to look pleasing to the eye, otherwise it would be boring for three monks to go out to play?
"Dongzi, Abo, I'm going to Bangkok in a while."
Du Shaojie was lying on a chair, enjoying the food and wine, and it was really comfortable.
He knew that Pang Weidong and Xu Bo had opened a large KTV with the locals in Bangkok, so he told them that he was going there.
The two of them also looked for Du Shaojie at the beginning, but Du Shaojie didn't want to get involved, so the KTV project in Bangkok had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, let me know when you are going, and I will be your guide."
Pang Weidong responded carelessly. He was not bragging. This guy has established considerable connections in the local area.
Du Shaojie glanced at the girls who were showing off their bodies on the deck and whispered:
"You should pay attention. The world's economic situation has been unstable in the past two years, especially in the financial sector. Be careful of the sharp depreciation of currencies in various countries."
"Oh? Do you have a basis for saying that?"
Pang Weidong sat up all of a sudden. The money that Xu Bo earned in Bangkok would eventually be converted into US dollars and transferred to Hong Kong.
If the Thai baht suddenly depreciated sharply and their funds had not been withdrawn, it would be equivalent to doing useless work in the past few years.
"Believe it or not, I am afraid that you have worked in vain, so I reminded you. Do you want my basis? Come on, good words can't persuade the damn ghost, do whatever you want."
Du Shaojie didn't indulge the other party. Of course, he had a basis, but the question was whether he could say it out?
He immediately turned his head to the side and waved to a beautiful woman, asking her to come over and give him a massage.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo looked at each other and felt very shocked.
This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can get information about. It seems that Chef Du's way is getting wilder and wilder, and even the two of them can't reach this level. (End of this chapter)
