At this moment, the waitress served breakfast, and Chen Qing changed the subject to a lighter one: "Boss, Qin Buzui and the others returned to China yesterday, do you want to meet some time?"
If Chen Qing said Shen Gui or Jiang Mi, Simon might have to think about it a little bit. The name Qin Buzui is too special, and of course he remembers it deeply. He asked with a smile: "Isn't Fashion Week still going on now? What are they doing when they come back?" ?”
Chen Qing obviously paid attention to it, and said: "Elite has limited resources for Asian models, and most of them are given to Mo Mo and the others. Qin Buzui and the others didn't even go to Europe, and they found that they have private jets available. Returning to my hometown with honor, heh, it was actually Qin Buzui who proposed it, and the other two did not refuse."
"Since it's an honor to return to their hometown, let them move freely, and I won't bother them."
Chen Qing nodded, and waited for the waitress who delivered the food to leave, while picking up the tableware, she turned back to business: "Boss, I have read a lot of materials about Korea, politics, economy and other aspects, as far as I am concerned, Personally, I think, going forward, it's better for us not to go to the front of the stage and meddle in the operation of Korean companies."
Hearing what Chen Qing said, Simon was a little surprised, and praised with a smile: "It seems that your vision of the pattern is getting better and better."
Chen Qing blinked and understood: "Boss, you didn't intend to do this?"
"Of course," Simon said, "South Korea's economy is actually somewhat deformed. A small number of chaebols occupy a lot of resources. Coupled with South Korea's social system, it is doomed that there must be long-term confrontation between the chaebols, the government and the people. And this financial turmoil After that, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in South Korea went bankrupt, and social resources would only further concentrate on large chaebols, and the confrontation would inevitably become more serious. Under this background, if I ran to stand in front of the stage, I guess the Korean chaebols would jump for joy. "
Chen Qing echoed with a smile: "Yes, when the time comes, the conflict will immediately transfer to the boss."
"So, in the future, the management rights of our fancy enterprises must still belong to those chaebol families, let them play the game by themselves, and the Westeros system will only be behind the scenes, and regularly reap the benefits we deserve."
Chen Qing nodded her head, and then she was a little worried: "But, boss, what if those chaebol families are disobedient?"
"If you don't listen, you can beat them. If you can't beat them, you can replace them. If you can't, then you will destroy the chaebol and the company." Simon shrugged. "Otherwise, what do you think I am going to see those people for in the next few days?"
A few days ago, I was just looking at the flowers on horseback. Today is the business of Simon’s trip to China. He has met with various chess pieces that the Westeros system has continuously selected and released for South Korea in the past six months. In a few months, from top to bottom Next, from the outside to the inside, in all aspects and fields, Simon has selected dozens of chess pieces, most of which are Korean.
The main work of these people in the past six months has been to sort out various aspects of South Korea, which can be regarded as a kind of practice before taking over.
Although South Korea is small, it is still complex in terms of politics and economy.
Let’s talk about Samsung, which was once the most familiar to the public. In order to control the Samsung empire, the Lee family’s complex cross-shareholding structure may not be completely cleared up even by professionals.
However, this is only the bright side.
Decades of conflict between the chaebol system and the Korean system have also created a huge black gold system involving all aspects.
The so-called "black gold" here is far from just stacks and boxes of cash and banknotes flowing into the political and economic system as ordinary people imagine. Shell companies, equity entrusted holdings, money laundering networks, etc. that avoid taxation or legal restrictions.
Therefore, Korean chaebols seem to have no place on the rich list, but if they really think that they only have assets of billions or tens of billions of dollars, then it can only be described as naive.Just talking about some public investigations of chaebols, among them, the secret funds picked up by the South Korean government are often at the level of trillions of won (equivalent to about one billion U.S. dollars).
For Simon, the key is, where did the money come from?
Very simple.
All kinds of false accounts, interception, and illegal transportation, but in the final analysis, they still come from those well-known companies on the surface.
Therefore, if South Korea's black gold system cannot be clarified and controlled, the deployment of the Westeros system to South Korea will only become a relatively superficial investment, not real control.
After breakfast, Simon rushed to the courtyard where the human club will be used as a temporary office for the next few days to start his day's work.
On the other side, during breakfast, he casually talked to Chen Qing and waited to see the excitement. Simon never expected that the excitement would be so big.
Due to the different time differences, the first Asian stock markets to open are Japan and South Korea, which are calculated at 8 o'clock in the morning Beijing time.
When Simon and Chen Qing left Mao'er Alley just after breakfast at seven o'clock, the Tokyo stock market and the Seoul stock market opened at the same time.
Compared with the highest point of more than 40000 points eight years ago, the Japanese stock market, which has been cut in half these years, has recently fallen from more than 6 points before the crisis broke out in June to 20000 points under the devastation of the financial turmoil.
And on Wednesday, October 10th, just 15 minutes after the market opened, the Nikkei 5 index, which the Japanese government tried its best to maintain, fell to 17000 points. It plunged to 225 points, a drop of 225%, marking the biggest one-day drop in more than three months since the baht announced its fall on June 17231.
After all, it is backed by strong economic strength. Prior to this, the biggest one-day drop in the Japanese stock market in August was only 8%.
The Japanese government, which finally recovered from the shock, called on major companies to participate in the rescue, and held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Half an hour after the opening, as large amounts of funds began to flow in, the Nikkei 225 index did not fall below 6 %.
On the other hand, the South Korean stock market, which opened at the same time, was not so lucky.
South Korea's KOSPI index also fell by more than 5% in only ten minutes after the opening. However, due to the Korean government's insistence on protecting the Korean won during this period, a large amount of funds were consumed in the foreign exchange market. In order to avoid bankruptcy, major companies , It is even more impossible to take out funds to participate in the rescue of the market, so after the KOSPI index fell by more than 5%, it did not mean to stop the decline at all. Within an hour of opening, the KOSPI index had fallen all the way from 512 points to 471 points, a drop of 8.2 %.
It is generally estimated in the industry that the one-day drop in the Korean stock market will reach the current 12% drop limit implemented in South Korea.
After the stock markets of Japan and South Korea made several bad starts, the stock markets of the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and other countries or regions that opened immediately after the opening of the market also plummeted. This time, even mainland China was not spared.
Among them, the Hong Kong stock market can be called the hardest hit area of this sharp drop.
At the close of the afternoon that day, the Hang Seng Index recorded the largest one-day drop in these years, 10.2%, from 13949 points at the opening of the day to 12526 points, which seemed to be less than South Korea’s final 12% single-day limit. However, Since Hong Kong is an open market, the stock market volume far exceeds that of South Korea, which is still very closed.
Not only that, affected by the plummeting stock markets of all parties, on the same day, the currency and bond markets of various Asian countries and regions also plummeted, which can be called an unprecedented triple kill of stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange.
The whole of Asia was in mourning, and at night, everyone thought about it, and it seemed that they quickly found the root cause.
Simon Westeros.
A certain unscrupulous richest man in the world has nothing to do and why is he running to Asia? You have a private jet!
Moreover, Simon really couldn't get rid of the blame this time.
Asia, which experienced the first wave of financial turmoil, is currently in a state of turmoil. A slight disturbance may cause great financial turmoil.
And the legendary Westeros effect, almost everyone has clearly experienced it several times.
Therefore, when a gossip tabloid in Hong Kong released the news of Simon's secret visit to Asia under the manipulation of someone with ulterior motives, coupled with international speculators who had prepared in advance to fuel the flames, and under the pressure of huge panic, this stock market crash was inevitable.
As a result, since the afternoon of that day, Simon has received constant calls from high-level contacts from all parties.
Whether it is direct or tactful, there is only one general idea: disaster star, please go, please.In addition, when you return to the United States, you must show your face publicly and tell everyone that you have returned, so you can rest assured.
Public outrage.
Simon really couldn't ignore it this time, after all, he had offended too many people, so he originally planned to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but now, he had no choice but to fly back to Los Angeles overnight.
As a result, things are still not over.
When Simon returned to the United States, affected by the sharp drop in the Asian stock market the day before, the Dow Jones' first meltdown after the 87 stock market crash also followed.
Chapter 1201 The Biggest Question
George Norman paused, and did not answer directly, but said: "Michael should have paid attention to it at the time, he was indeed too close to the children, but I can also understand that Michael likes Peter Pan very much, and he has always hoped that he Always be a child, never grow up."
Simon smiled and said, "So, you don't really believe it, right?"
George Norman had a slightly unnatural expression: "Simon, I don't know much about that."
"I believe Michael is innocent," Simon said, "Because I'm a bad guy, and I'm good at understanding the behavioral logic of bad guys. After that incident, the Chandler family got more than 2000 million dollars. You know, this is A lot of money, imagine, other children who have been in contact with Michael, as well as their parents, wouldn't they be moved?"
George Norman said: "Should you be moved?"
"So, according to the logic of my bad guy, what those children and their parents should do is to unite and file a class action lawsuit against Michael, even if they don't get 2000 million, millions or even dozens Ten thousand dollars in compensation must still be available, right?"
