Guo Dongyun took Li He out of the alley and waved at the car that had been following them by the side of the road. The car came over and the two of them got in.
"If you want to buy the four treasures of the study, of course you have to go to Chinatown. They don't exist here."
Li He rolled down the window and looked at the bustling crowd. He suddenly asked curiously, "Why do I feel like so many people here are Chinese?"
If it weren't for the architectural style and cultural environment outside that told him this was Malaysia, he would have thought it was Macau or Hong Kong.
This time, without waiting for Guo Dongyun to answer, Qi Hua helped to explain, "Half of the population in Kuala Lumpur is Chinese, so it's not unusual to see Chinese everywhere."
"I don't know this data?" Li He cast a questioning look at Guo Dongyun.
Guo Dongyun smiled and said, "Of course, Little Qi has done his homework."
Qi Hua smiled shyly at the compliment.
Among the world's eight famous Chinatowns, Malaysia accounted for two. They were Kuala Lumpur Chinatown and George Town Chinatown.
Kuala Lumpur Chinatown was located in the center of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It had a history of more than a hundred years. It was a small street of goods created by Chinese ancestors.
The narrow Chinatown was crowded with all kinds of small shops. The car definitely couldn't drive in, so they had to get out.
"What building is this? Twin Towers? " As they passed by a construction site, Li He couldn't help but look sideways. Even though it was not yet completed, it was already standing out among the many high-rise buildings.
"Twin Towers? It's good to call it Twin Towers because they are indeed two buildings. " Guo Dongyun said, "It belongs to Malaysia's Petronas, with a planned investment of 1.05 billion US dollars. Construction officially started last year. When completed, it is expected to surpass the current tallest building in the world, the Sears Building in Chicago, USA. It will become a unique giant building in the world at that time."
"How tall?" Li He was very concerned about this.
Guo Dongyun tried hard to recall and said in an uncertain tone. Probably. "
Li He asked, "In other words, it will be 30 meters taller than the Golden Deer Building?"
Guo Dongyun said, "If the Petronas' plan hasn't changed, it should be like this."
Li He continued to ask, "The Golden Deer Building will immediately become the second tallest building in Asia?"
"Yes." Guo Dongyun didn't understand what Li He meant.
"Send a notice to Wu Shuping. Prepare to build the world's tallest building!"
Li He was unhappy!
It did not matter to him if he could not become number one in the world. After all, he had always kept a low profile. Being number one in Asia was not a big deal!
But what Li Lao Er could not tolerate was that he was actually ranked second in Asia!
When will this eternal second place come to an end!
He decided that he couldn't take it anymore. Either he didn't build it, or he would build the world's number one again!
"Building another building?" Guo Dongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When Li He was serious, he was more serious than anyone else. When he was crazy, he was more serious than anyone else.
However, on second thought, Li He had the right to be capricious. All the companies under his banner were dominated by him. There was nothing that could restrain him. Basically, his words were the law.
Therefore, she sometimes thought proudly that this kind of enterprise was lucky to have a capable person like her. Otherwise, it would be a miracle that it did not go bankrupt.
"Yes, we must!" Li He was in high spirits!
"500 meters?" Guo Dongyun knew that she couldn't stop Li He's decision.
"500 meters? How can 500 meters be enough! With a budget of 1.5 billion USD, open a global bidding! Just state clearly that whoever has the ability to design the highest will get this deal! "
Burj Khalifa had only invested a total of 1.5 billion USD. He didn't believe that if he invested 1.5 billion USD now, he wouldn't be able to beat Burj Khalifa!
In the unipolar world dominated by the United States, the US dollar was still very valuable. It was extraordinarily strong.
"I will help you inform Wu Shuping." Guo Dongyun shook her head helplessly. She couldn't get involved in this matter. She could only mourn for Wu Shuping. It was true that the leader only needed to speak, and the subordinates had to run all the errands. When it came to someone like Li He, there was really nothing she could do.
"Qi Hua, write it down too. Don't forget to remind me." Li He instructed Qi Hua.
Qi Hua said, "I've written it down."
In order to cope with the strange ideas that suddenly popped up in Li He's mind, he now carried a small notebook with him. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to cope.
"That's good." Li He turned to ask Guo Dongyun, "How's the matter with Soros? Is it still losing money?"
Guo Dongyun smiled bitterly. "Still losing money."
"Then think of a way to recoup your losses." Li He didn't mind. After all, he was not omnipotent. Furthermore, he had met Soros. It was normal for him to lose money.
"I can't recoup my losses." Guo Dongyun shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Li He continued to ask.
"We don't understand why Soros suddenly left. After asking around, he took his funds to South America. With the current financial crisis in Argentina and Mexico, they will not let go of this opportunity." Guo Dongyun explained.
Latin America had successfully avoided previous world wars, but it had not escaped any financial crisis. Sometimes, capital was more powerful than guns.
"Run?" Li He sneered. "Where are you going? You don't need to go anywhere. Just wait for him in Southeast Asia. "
"What do you mean?" Guo Dongyun found it harder to understand Li He's thinking. What nonsense was he spouting now? Was he muddle-headed from anger?
Li He replied. "The whole of Southeast Asia is in the fast lane of rapid development. I had researched Thailand recently. Let's use Thailand as an example. In the late 1980s, Thailand's economy was in a period of rapid development. One of the characteristics of rapid development is that it requires a large amount of financing.
If the country's savings cannot cope with this problem, there are two solutions: Bring in foreign investments or expand the country's credit system.
The Thai Government had chosen to bring in foreign investments.
This plan is not wrong. But if a large number of foreign investments were to be made in Thailand, the government will not be able to keep up with the regulations. At the start, the foreign investments will still be in the real economy. I had looked at the data, and after that, all kinds of hot money had entered Thailand, pushing up the stock market, land prices, and real estate prices.
The bubble had started to bubble! It's impossible to get out of this easily! "
Soros was used to being a prophet. Now, when he talks about some problems, he does not even blush.
"Create a bubble and run away with high profits." Guo Dongyun shuddered. She had been friends with Li He for many years. The reason why she was willing to give up her previous job and join Li He's side was because Li He's predictions were terrifyingly accurate every time. He never spoke without thinking!
She respected Li He for this, and when Li He said this, she had to take it seriously.
Li He laughed. "This is nothing. The most serious issue is that Thai Baht's exchange rate is pegged to USD. This is a typical example of a country that wants the exchange rate to be stable and capital to flow freely. This means the Thai Government will have serious consequences if they adjust the market interest rates. I'm afraid … "
"Once the Federal Reserve starts raising interest rates, the Federal Reserve will not allow Thailand's asset bubble to stabilize, and Thai Baht will collapse." Guo Dongyun was sweating.
Li He laughed. "That's why Soros and the rest of the hot money will surely come to Thailand and Southeast Asia. We just have to wait."
"What about us?" Guo Dongyun seems to be convinced by Li He.
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend." Li He kept her in suspense.
Guo Dongyun laughed. "I understand."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of a four treasures shop. Li He carefully picked out a few ink stones and writing brushes.
Back at the hotel, Guo Dongyun urged Li He to set off.
Li He suddenly remembered and asked, "Where is the Guo Family staying?"
Guo Dongyun replied. "It's more than 200 kilometers away. We will set off in advance."
Li He frowned. "Even if the roads are good, it will take at least three hours, right?"
He does not like to travel long distances.
"Just follow me." Guo Dongyun smiled and did not say a word.
Li He had no choice but to follow behind her. But he realized that they are not going downstairs, but to the rooftop.
"Are you sure?" Li He could hear the rumbling of engines before he reached the rooftop.
When Guo Dongyun opened the metal door, an Agusta 109 helicopter suddenly appeared in front of him.
