"This world is transparent!" Lu Feng exclaimed.
However, Lu Feng didn't care. He was already a thorn in their side, so one more move wouldn't make a difference. He figured those big shots on Wall Street could guess it was him.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoyan, who had been away on a business trip for several days, suddenly returned home, went upstairs to grab two folders, and hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Let's eat before we leave!" Lu Feng said to her.
"I'm not eating, I'm swamped. The factory site in Tianjin has been finalized, and we're finalizing the production line these days. It should be operational by April next year at the earliest. I'm having a meeting with the key personnel; we need to send a few trustworthy and capable people there." Jiang Xiaoyan put the folder into her bag and looked at Lu Feng, asking, "Are you that free?"
“I only went to the company once during this period!” Lu Feng replied.
Jiang Xiaoyan stood there for a moment and said, "Since you're so free, why don't you go to Tianjin and help me set up a factory? You can also expand our sales channels and compete in the market."
"Huh?" Lu Feng looked at her speechlessly. Was she treating him like a free laborer? In her mouth, this whole thing was just a side thing?
"I can go, but what if the earth explodes tomorrow?"
Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, picked up her bag, and said, "You really think you're the world's big brother now."
"Even when you're busy, you still need to eat on time. You've gotten so thin!" Lu Feng said with concern.
"Okay, watch Duoduo do her homework!" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice came from outside the door, followed by the sound of a car starting.
In the evening, Wei Yandan called and said that they couldn't push forward the privatization of the R&D company. John hadn't been communicating for the past few days, Goodley kept urging Lu Feng to step in, and the municipal government also hoped to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Both sides were putting pressure on them. Wei Yandan suggested that Lu Feng meet with her first, sit down and talk, and then they could discuss it further.
"I'm busy these few days. Let's wait a few days. I reckon John won't be free either. Don't worry about it for now, just let it sit for a few days," Lu Feng instructed.
As night fell, Duoduo returned home carrying a large schoolbag. After dinner, she seemed listless and lay on the sofa, complaining, "I have too much homework."
"Take your time writing, watch less cartoons. Your mom is back today and asked me to keep an eye on you while you do your homework." Lu Feng looked at her and said, "If you do well on the midterm exams, I'll let you go back to your hometown for the New Year."
Duoduo perked up immediately upon hearing about going back to their hometown, and sat up, asking, "Is the whole family going back?"
"Not necessarily!" Lu Feng said, glancing at the clock on the wall. The foreign exchange market was about to start in an hour.
Duoduo was doing her homework downstairs. In order not to disturb her, Lu Feng went up to the study on the third floor and dialed Manager Li's number.
Wall Street, it's a new day. After yesterday's market close, the Thai baht instantly became a hot topic. Even non-financial programs started discussing the topic, and the opinions of the guests on these programs were constantly guiding the public to short the Thai baht, as if now was the best opportunity to short it.
The Thai baht's rise, coupled with insufficient follow-up funds, will lead to a series of sharp declines. Such misleading statements are child's play to professionals, but for the middle class who have some money but no suitable way to preserve its value, this seemingly sure-fire way to make money is like a windfall.
Some Wall Street investment firms saw a tenfold increase in inquiries from clients looking to short the Thai baht in a single day. For them, every transaction incurs various fees, and they don't care whether their clients make a profit or a loss.
At 8:00 a.m., the foreign exchange market opened, and the New York Stock Exchange was already packed with people. A new display screen dedicated to the Thai baht was added to the lobby, showing the baht price in real time.
As soon as the market opened, the first batch of retail investors immediately opened short positions, dumping 300 million baht worth of goods. The baht instantly dropped by 0.5 points, followed by a large number of short positions being opened, indicating a strong seller's market.
"It will fall, it definitely will fall!"
"I've seen the news from Thailand; they're all lying. It's a huge lie!"
"Professor Kyle said that Thailand's industrial hollowing out is particularly serious, and with the rise in commodity prices, they no longer have any profit margins, and factories will shut down on a large scale."
Who is Professor Kyle?
"A highly respected economist whose main research area is Asian economy!"
