"Ms. Imamura, Ms. Ding, Mr. He, Mr. Li, thank you for your help." Li Shaoze stood up holding his suit and shook hands with the four regional representatives in front of him.
In just ten minutes, Luo Minsheng, who was sitting at the assistant's seat, nodded, indicating that all the funds had arrived. In front of his computer, account numbers lit up one after another, densely packed, filling the entire computer screen.
Mr. He and others also bowed and shook hands one by one, looked at Li Shaoze with a smile, and said politely: "Mr. Li, you're welcome. These are the responsibilities of each region."
The accompanying team behind them also began to organize their computers and prepare to end the meeting.
Suddenly, the screens of Huang Shitong, Chen Zhan, Mai Shengyun and others' mobile phones lit up at the same time, and a beeping sound sounded in their pockets.
It's easy to explain one person's mobile phone, but at the same time, I heard the mobile phones of five landlords and predators making sounds. Mr. He, Li Long, Ding Yao and the other four looked a little surprised when they glanced out of the corner of their eyes.
Although this scene was a bit impolite, Huang Shitong, Chen Zhan and others took out their mobile phones in unison after looking at each other.
"Collapse! South Korea is going to collapse!" Huang Shitong and others raised their eyes, looked at the representatives from various parties opposite, and blurted out.
"South Korea is going to collapse?" Mr. He, Li Long and others looked shocked. They felt that things were happening faster than expected, and Wall Street's actions were more violent than expected.
It only took three days, and now the market is smashing!
Luo Minsheng typed the keyboard without saying a word, and saw South Korea's currency, bonds, and stock market displayed on the projector in the conference center.
It was a miserable red, and all the indicators began to slide from the morning, like a flash flood or avalanche!
…
Seoul trading floor.
Thousands of investors held stock subscription letters in their hands, just like refugees from World War II holding newspapers high.
They looked at the hot stock market, which had been broken since the morning, and their eyes seemed to be full of confusion.
"Why? Why are stocks falling?"
"Shouldn't it be raised? It's been rising for so long, and there's only one day left to go! If it goes back up, please give it back!"
"Is there any breaking news? Why did our Korean stocks all fall?" The stock investors were wearing white shirts, lifting the corners of their clothes, wiping cold sweat in panic.
Many of them were jealous of the soaring stock prices during this period, and finally raised funds, loans, and borrowed money to enter the market. I originally thought that I could take advantage of this year's bull market and make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, reality dealt them a cruel blow.
Just like the moment before a bubble bursts, it must also be the moment when the bubble expands the most.
Those Wall Street oligarchs took advantage of the last enthusiasm of stock investors before the crash to steal the last wealth of Korean stock investors and make every last copper!
However, the fanaticism of stock investors cannot be stopped. For example, Huang Shitong cannot stop the enthusiasm of stock investors in Hong Kong. It is the most primitive greed of human nature!
But stock investors have no idea about currency exchange rates or the international market! They know that even if the stock market is going to fall, there should be a reason! For example, the chairman of a certain company cheated, and the successor of a certain consortium got divorced!
How can a stock plummet without any negative news? How can a single drop mean the entire stock market plummets? Could it be that all group bosses and companies are getting divorced and cheating on each other today!
At this time, the anger in the hearts of investors is only a spark away from igniting.
A middle-aged man with a fat body and five short legs resolutely tore off his shirt, stood high on the computer table, raised the equity book in his hand and shouted: "Protest! Protest! Parade! Parade!"
"Go to the bank for an explanation, go to the exchange for an explanation!"
The loud sound was like a stone thrown into a big wave, and the crowd began to turn into a tide, rushing towards the office area of the trading floor. I saw the crowd walking and shouting: "Protest! Protest! March! March!"
In the exchange, the office staff hiding behind the glass window immediately changed their expressions and hurriedly made a phone call to report to their superiors.
…
At this time, the Bank of Korea.
All the office workers were silent.
Because stocks act as a lower market before they start to fall. There has been huge turmoil in the international market at the upper level.
These turbulent processes were manifested in Wall Street's massive selling of Korean won. The exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar soared from the original 500:1 to 800:1, and it continues to rise.
The Bank of Korea invested 10 billion US dollars to rescue the market, but it was all used up in one day. At the same time, US$15 billion in maturing bonds have been delivered to the Bank of Korea, requiring the Bank of Korea to cash them.
It wasn't until these 15 billion US dollars of bonds were placed on the bank counter that Zhao Yuzhen, the bank president, believed that Wall Street was really taking action against them.
The so-called South Korea-US relationship has not only failed to serve as a talisman for South Korea's economy, but has instead become a lucky suit for Wall Street's blitzkrieg.
It has lowered the vigilance of Korean banks, Korean entrepreneurs, and Korean stock investors.
This allowed Wall Street to completely copy Thailand's strategy and completely defeat the Bank of Korea without any changes.
When Zhao Yuzhen, who was looking gloomy, went to the Ministry of Finance to request funding, he learned that the Ministry of Finance purchased a batch of new fighter jets from the United States yesterday and paid an order of up to 5 billion US dollars, but could no longer get a penny out.
It’s not that we don’t have money to bail out the market, it’s that we really can’t even get out a penny!
Looking for loans from other countries is also unrealistic. Because throughout the world, no country or region will provide money to support a country on the verge of bankruptcy.
There are only two options before South Korea. One is to declare the country bankrupt and send financial experts to discuss a repayment plan.
The consequences were that bank finances were scrutinized and government leaders stepped down to quell public anger.
The second is to accept financial support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to maintain the country's credibility, support the authorities, and barely maintain the country's economy.
The consequences are even more cruel, requiring the signing of a series of unequal economic and trade treaties with the International Monetary Fund.
So Zhao Zhenyu stepped into the Blue House and asked for instructions from his superiors...it took half an hour before leaving by car.
As soon as he returned to the Bank of Korea, he summoned all bank decision-makers for a three-hour closed-door meeting. Due to the length of the meeting, there were two breaks in between. News that South Korea is about to introduce funds from the International Monetary Fund has gradually spread.
Han Shixian stood in the policy team office, quietly looking out the window at the bustling city. She knew that this city was about to be changed overnight because of the bank executives' indulgence and blind confidence. What was once a miracle on the Han River will become history in textbooks.
Finally, she bent down, opened the desk cabinet, and took out the bottle of foreign wine that Zhao Zhenyu had given her.
"Team Leader Han?" The colleagues nearby couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Han Shixian, who had always been a strict self-discipline, actually choose to open the lid of a foreign wine.
But Han Shixian ignored the outside world's attention. Instead, she poured the foreign wine into a glass, swallowed it in large gulps, and quickly rushed to the conference room.
She knew that she could get enough foreign exchange funds by applying for funds from South Korea's "International Monetary Fund". But the "International Monetary Fund" has always been the US Congress, an institution that controls the world economy.
Want to get money from this? A series of unequal treaties will inevitably be signed. Hand over South Korea’s economic lifeline, the financial market! As well as the future national potential and the value of the people’s labor force!
"This is betraying the country!" After this idea popped into Han Shixian's mind, his steps became faster and faster.
When she walked to the door of the top-floor conference room, two bank security guards quickly reached out to stop her: "Team Leader Han, there is a meeting inside."
"Your name is not on the list of participants."
"Please don't make it difficult for us..."
Han Shixian raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, raised her high heels, and stepped on them one at a time. Immediately, two screams rang out from beside her. She said nothing and opened the door of the conference room directly.
"As a bank team leader and senior manager, I am qualified to participate in this meeting."
With a creak, the conference room was pushed open. Zhao Zhenyu, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his head and looked at the door, frowning slightly and said: "Team Leader Han, your name is not on the meeting list. Please get out now, or I will dismiss you immediately."
In terms of rank, Han Shixian is also qualified to participate in the meeting. But Zhao Zhenyu had long been unhappy with her. Knowing that this woman was staring at him recently, how could he let her come to the meeting?
But Han Shixian ignored his words and just walked towards Zhao Zhenyu step by step: "It is only the government that is bankrupt now. If you accept funds from the International Monetary Fund, the entire country will be bankrupt!"
"Now you are betraying the country, can't I stop you?"
The other bank decision-makers present here all looked at Han Shixian in a different way.
Because in the meeting just now, the decision-makers' debate at the beginning has turned into nodding silence at the end.
The word "traitor" in Han Shixian's mouth revealed the facts in a bloody manner, which also attracted many hostile looks.
Just listen to Zhao Zhenyu say in a cold voice: "Economic cooperation is not betrayal!"
"Look at the city outside. Selling the country has ruined the future of the Korean nation..." Han Shixian stood in front of Zhao Zhenyu and pointed to the Han River outside the building.
She came to the conference room this time not to change the high-level decision-making. Because she knew that the person holding the knife in his hand would never swing the knife towards her.
She just wanted to scold someone, scold someone happily once, then throw down the whole thing and resign and leave!
But after a brief silence, Zhao Zhenyu stood up from the swivel chair, walked step by step to the window, pointed to the US military camp in South Korea in the direction of Yongshan District, and gave her an irrefutable answer.
"A small country with few people can only survive in the cracks."
"You are still too young to understand that in this place, you can live for yourself and your family, but you cannot live for the sake of your family and country!"
"Team leader Han Shixian, you are fired!" Zhao Zhenyu gestured back, and two security guards immediately took her out of the conference room.
