Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

At this moment, Kuang Youzhi's heart was as anxious as if he was drawing water from fifteen buckets.

They are both delighted at the huge benefits that are about to come, and deeply afraid that this sudden change will bring them unpredictable risks.

The speed is beyond imagination. It is really like a speeding train, crossing a long distance in the blink of an eye.

Even using the description of riding a train seems a little inappropriate. If we want to use a precise metaphor, it would be more appropriate to say that it is like riding a rocket speeding through the sky.

New Century Investment Company had quietly begun its layout in December 1997. At that time, the exchange rate was only around 12:3400, as if it was still a tranquil lake.

As of today, February 2rd, just over a month has passed, and the exchange rate has fallen to a staggering 3:12000.

If New Century Investment Company chooses to withdraw decisively at this moment, then thanks to the soaring exchange rate trend, its profits can be guaranteed to be at least three times more.

This is undoubtedly a thrilling feast of wealth and an adventure full of unknowns and challenges.

Taking all the initial investments into account, the total was US$75.5 billion. If calculated today, it would be at least US$225 billion.

At a time when the entire Southeast Asia was suffering from the impact of the financial crisis, Zhao Wenhao faced it head-on.

If we were to calculate the Hong Kong Island Rich List at this time, Zhao Wenhao would definitely be ranked in the top three. Even globally, apart from those invisible rich people, he would be in the top 20.

"Be patient and wait, but don't be impatient. I have a clear plan and a grasp of the situation in my mind."

Zhao Wenhao's originally low voice now sounded even more steady and powerful, as if every word contained endless determination, and he seemed to be making a crucial final decision.

"Hurry up and keep a close eye on it. If there's even the slightest movement over there, even the slightest sign of trouble, report back to me immediately and in detail."

Seeing Zhao Wenhao's determination, Kuang Youzhi couldn't help but want to persuade him.

After all, this involves huge interests and risks.

But when he thought of Zhao Wenhao's brilliant and amazing past achievements, his accurate judgments and decisive actions, he finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

In this way, another long day passed quietly, and the exchange rate of Java continued to decline like a slowly descending slope.

However, despite the obvious situation, Zhao Wenhao remained like a resolute mountain, unmoved at all.

Time continued to pass, and after a few days, the exchange rate between Java's currency shield and the US dollar reached an astonishing 14000:1. At this time, Zhao Wenhao's eyes finally began to reveal some imperceptible hesitation.

It is clear that at this critical stage, the decline in the exchange rate has become increasingly smaller.

"Pull out half of the funds you have first."

Zhao Wenhao's slightly rough fingers tapped the table lightly and rhythmically, as if he was engaged in a silent battle with his inner entanglement.

After much deliberation, I finally made the decision.

Kuang Youzhi stood aside, watching Zhao Wenhao's every move, and the feeling of wanting to speak out grew stronger. It was as if a flame was burning in his chest, making him feel extremely restless.

He stood there, his eyes revealing obvious hesitation, as if he was going through a fierce struggle in his heart.

After some difficult thought, he finally mustered up the courage and gently advised, "Mr. Zhao, the riots over there are over. Now many countries and international organizations have expressed strong condemnation of their government.

Judging from the current situation, similar chaos is unlikely to recur in the near future. My personal concern is that the exchange rate may soon experience a small rebound.

Zhao Wenhao nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face, indicating that he already understood what he said.

Deep in his memory, the exchange rate in that place seemed to have finally fallen to a terrifying level of 16000:1. It seemed to have hit the bottom and began to slowly rebound upwards.

However, now, because of his unexpected joining, according to common sense, the decline should have been even more severe.

But at the same time, another possibility has quietly emerged.

It was precisely because of his joining that the usually greedy Western capital suddenly realized that the benefits of continuing to lower prices were not great, so they couldn't wait to withdraw before he noticed.

If this situation really happens, the consequences will be quite serious, and it is very likely that Zhao Wenhao will be deeply involved and unable to extricate himself.

In view of this, in order to ensure his own safety and security, Zhao Wenhao made a prompt decision and decided to withdraw half of the funds first.

Just wait and see how the situation develops, and then make the final decision based on the actual situation.

"Go ahead, just go for it, but always keep an eye on the movements and funding of those Western investors."

Zhao Wenhao waved his hand gently, his face still maintaining that calm and composed look, but he did not explain too much about it, as if he already had his own calculations and considerations in mind.

Kuang Youzhi left the office with a heavy heart, as if he was carrying a heavy burden in his heart, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

His eyes revealed deep uneasiness and worry, as if the whole world was weighing on his shoulders.

Zhao Wenhao slowly walked to the window. His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under his control.

He quietly gazed at the tall buildings in the distance. Their straight lines and majestic aura seemed to symbolize the business battlefield he was facing.

The blue sky above the clouds seemed distant and strange in his eyes, as if it was incompatible with the real world he lived in.

Obviously, he was under a lot of pressure at this time.

The pressure was like an invisible shackle, tightly binding his mind and making it impossible for him to breathe easily.

But he did not reveal this pressure easily, but chose to bury it deep in his heart so that no one would notice it.

Only he himself knew that the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart was like a burning flame, constantly burning his soul.

Two more days passed, and the exchange rate continued to fall, like a ruthless devil's claw, constantly devouring the wealth of Java.

The numbers jumped relentlessly, and finally stopped at 15000:1, as if announcing to them the cruelty of this financial war.
