Chapter 1176: Hunting the Sanhe Consortium

"Boss, Happy New Year! Gongxi Fa Cai!'

'Gongxi Fa Cai!'

'Boss, Gongxi Fa Cai, all the best!'

...

Within the Galaxy Fund, there was a jubilant scene, with employees successively greeting Xia Yu for the New Year, while Xia Yu beamed as he took out the 'lai see' from his assistant's box and handed them out to everyone.

In Hong Kong, there is a tradition of handing out 'lai see' after the Spring Festival when work resumes.

'Lai see' is also known as "lai si" or "lai shih", which means "prosperous business" or "achieving success in everything", that is, it is auspicious for doing anything

Generally speaking, on the morning of the first day of work after the New Year, employees and subordinates will return to pay New Year's greetings to the 'boss,' who will definitely give everyone a 'lai see' to symbolize a good start to the year and harmony and success in the workplace.

Of course, this 'boss' is not only the owner of the company, but also includes the general manager, deputy general manager and other senior executives, as well as the supervisors of each department and team. When handing out the 'lucky money', the boss and subordinates will say things like 'gongxi fa cai' and 'wanshi ru yi' to wish each other good luck. Everyone is therefore happy and starts the first day of the new year with a lively atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that the amount of money in the red packet is not important. What is more important is the good wishes and the thoughtfulness. The red packet usually contains banknotes with lucky numbers such as 8 yuan and 18 yuan, to make everyone happy and lively, symbolising a good start to the year, harmony and prosperity.

All morning, the company was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant. Xia Yu did not arrange any work, just chatting with everyone.

Then at noon, they went to the Peninsula Hotel for lunch together.

In the afternoon, everyone adjusted their mentality and officially started work.

There was no doubt about it. Xia Yu gathered his eight capable lieutenants and gathered together once again.

'I also gave you a long holiday a year ago, and you should have relaxed. It's time to start again in the new year. Judging from your mental state, you are all ready to go. Not bad!'

'Without further ado, the meeting is now officially in session.'

'The purpose of this meeting is to set a plan that will run through this year and many years to come. Before that, you should quietly finish reading the information in your hands.'

After Xia Yu finished speaking, Liu Yao and the others didn't waste any more words, and directly opened the information in front of them and browsed it attentively.

Xia Yu, having nothing to do, also read the information in front of him again, which he had already read many times.

Every time you read the same information, it can inspire new ideas. With repeated speculation and analysis, the plan can become more and more perfect.

This information is actually a general summary of the island country, introducing it from different perspectives, with a particular focus on the economic sector. After all, the purpose of the Galaxy Fund is to make money!

In 1982, it was exactly ten years since the island nation had overtaken West Germany to become the world's second largest economy.

That year, the island nation's gross national product was more than 1,130 billion US dollars, accounting for 9.85% of the global total for the previous year!

In fact, however, the island's economy was in decline last year, because in 1981, the island's GDP was more than 1.22 trillion US dollars, accounting for nearly 10.5% of the global total!

So in fact, the island's economy was in recession throughout last year. However, when broken down into twelve months, in fact, in the second half of last year, especially in the fourth quarter, the island's economy clearly showed signs of improvement, completely in the momentum of emerging from the global economic quagmire caused by the oil crisis.

In terms of exchange rates, the Japanese yen fluctuated quite a bit last year, dropping to 249 yen to the dollar at its lowest. However, it did rise somewhat towards the end of the year. In recent months, as the island economy has rebounded, the exchange rate has fluctuated around the 237 yen to the dollar mark, with the range of fluctuations not considered large.

As for the stock market, the island has also seen a steady rise.

The Nikkei 225 stock index has fluctuated, but it has already exceeded 8,000 points, and judging from the momentum, it is steadily rising towards 9,000 points.

Throughout the data, no matter which aspect you look at, after reading it, it gives the impression that the island country's future economic development is stable and its future is becoming brighter and brighter.

Therefore, after Liu Jiao and Xue He had finished reading the information, they all frowned, racking their brains to figure out where to start.

Since the boss had told them to take action against the island country, then there was definitely a reason.

But where was the opportunity?

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Liu Jiao and the others, Xia Yu gave a small smile, but also felt that it was normal.

If Liu Jiao and the others could all see from this piece of information that there were problems with the island country's economy, then where would there be any chance for the Galaxy Fund?

At this time, neither domestic economic researchers nor foreign economic analysts would have thought that the island country would undergo such drastic changes in the next eight or nine years.

If he didn't have the memories of the future, he wouldn't dare to plot on such a large scale.

But since he knows the general direction of history,

he started laying the groundwork before anyone else did. As long as the fruit is ripe, he will definitely get the biggest share!

"Pop!'

'Alright, everyone's finished reading it, right?'

'Yes!'

the crowd answered in succession.

'Any ideas?'

Xia Yu said with a smile, scanning the room.

Hearing this, the crowd, each with a guilty conscience, dared not look into Xia Yu's eyes, and their gazes kept drifting to the others.

They had all received generous bonuses last year, and they were all gearing up to follow the boss and do great things after the New Year began. They had never expected to run into a brick wall at this first meeting, which really came as a big blow to them.

After a long while, Liu Jiao stood up with a stiff upper lip and said, 'Boss, at the end of the year, I took the trouble to find out about the current situation in the island country. Coupled with the information I just read, I suspect that you plan to do more with the island country's stock market and exchange rate?'

'Even since the oil crisis, the island country has also fallen into the economic quagmire, and the island country's stock market has maintained growth. Now that the island country has emerged from the economic quagmire, the stock market should explode with even greater potential, and the exchange rate will rise again.'

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: 'Sit down!'

'Where are the others?'

Xue He continued, 'Boss, I agree with Liu Jiao's view!'

Xia Yu looked at the others again and found that they also nodded.

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, 'Liu Jiao is right. In the long run, the island's stock market and the yen exchange rate will definitely rise together, but the rise in the next two years will not be too great!'

Liu Jiao's heart sank suddenly, and the others also looked at each other.

From what the boss meant, he was not going to do anything about the stock market or the exchange rate. Could it be the futures market?

But that didn't make sense, because the futures market was even less popular than the stock market!

Just as everyone was at a loss, Xia Yu said with a smile, 'As I said at the beginning, this meeting is to make plans for this year and the years to come. So this time, you must be prepared for a protracted battle, because this time, it involves every aspect and is bigger than any previous move!'

'I have many goals, divided into big and small.'

'The small goals include trading the stock markets of multiple countries, trading currencies, and massively trading real estate, etc.'

'As for the big goal, there is only one, and that is to hunt down the Sanwa consortium!'

'Hiss...'

After the last sentence came out, Liu Zong and the others were all shocked, and they stared at Xia Yu with wide eyes.

Hunting the Sanhe Consortium, one of the six major consortia in the island country?

This is too exciting!
