Chapter 291 Plaza Accord
Li Zetian attached great importance to the "Saigon Development". After the banquet, he ordered Hutchison Whampoa, Chinese Land, Hong Kong Electric, Hong Kong Telephone and other companies to strongly support the project. Moreover, this is a huge opportunity to make money that should not be missed. As one high-tech company and factory after another has landed in Saigon, the Saigon area is changing with each passing day, becoming more prosperous and full of commercial value. Countless companies are eyeing the "Saigon Development Tiger".
Li Zetian naturally wanted to take a share of the pie.
22 Barker Road.
"One month after the official bidding for the project, I have put someone in charge of this matter. Jingqiu and I are preparing to return to the United States tomorrow!" Li Zetian said to his parents, "Counting the time, we have been in Hong Kong for more than a month."
The two elders nodded.
The next morning, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu flew back to the United States with their children.
There are many things that Li Zetian needs to deal with here in the United States, while Yu Jingqiu is busy with charity, in charge of the L.Y Foundation and the L.Y Nature Conservancy, and wins people's hearts through charity. In the future, if Yu Jingqiu runs for President of the United States, it may not be impossible for him to succeed.
The Li family not only wants to make achievements in business, but also wants to achieve outstanding achievements in politics.
Even if no one in the current generation becomes the president of the United States, in the second and third generations, a president will always be cultivated with huge funds and influence.
Since ancient times, politics and business have not been separated.
Without political power to guarantee it, no matter how much wealth there is, it will still be a castle in the air.
However, Li Zetian did not force Yu Jingqiu to run for President of the United States.
Yu Jingqiu herself likes charity very much and is keen on charity. By doing charity, she reflects her own value and wins people's love and respect by the way.
A woman can't just stay at home, take care of her husband and raise children, she can have her own career and be as good as a man.

…
The summer in September is sunny.
After getting up in the morning, Li Zetian faced the morning glow and boxed on the balcony to exercise.
Yu Jingqiu looked at him with a smile. After he finished exercising, she brought a white dry towel over and helped him wipe the sweat from his body very considerately.
"My dear, breakfast is ready!"
"Um."
Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu on the forehead and said with a smile: "Today, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York. It seems that the Plaza Accord will be signed soon. "The five countries jointly intervened in the foreign exchange market to induce an orderly depreciation of the U.S. dollar's exchange rate against major currencies in order to resolve the U.S.'s huge trade deficit."
"My dear, things are just as you expected!" Yu Jingqiu said, with a look of surprise on her face.
As early as the beginning of this year, Li Zetian judged that the United States would actively intervene in the foreign exchange market to devalue the U.S. dollar in order to save the increasingly depressed U.S. manufacturing industry.
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Of course, you don't even know who your husband is!"
"Okay, okay, you're awesome!" Seeing Li Zetian's stinking look, Yu Jingqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but she was still proud of him and felt very proud in her heart.
After a pause, Yu Jingqiu asked: "Dongfang Yuqin is still investing in real estate in Japan?"
Li Zetian nodded: "Yes, 22 billion US dollars is not a small amount after all, but it is almost completed. She will be back before long."
The two came to the restaurant. Under the care of the servants, Youran and William were already sitting at the dining table. However, the two were not honest at all and were playing around at the dining table. When he saw Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu coming, he became more honest.
After breakfast, Li Zetian thought about it and made a call to Tian Shuai, Zhang Hao and others, suggesting that if they had extra funds, they might as well invest in Japanese real estate. Whether they can continue to listen or not is none of his business.
Tian Shuai and Zhang Hao trusted Li Zetian very much, and coupled with Li Zetian's explanation, they both realized that the U.S. dollar was about to depreciate significantly. So they all followed Li Zetian's advice and invested funds in the Japanese real estate industry.
On September 22, the Plaza Accord was signed.
The main content of the Plaza Accord was to devalue the U.S. dollar. As soon as the news came out, it shocked the world. Investors frantically sold the U.S. dollar, leading to a serious depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
However, it is no wonder that investors are selling off the dollar, because they all know that the longer they hold on to the dollar, the more serious its value will shrink.
In less than a month, the dollar fell by 10%.
The original $100 is now only worth $90. However, this is only the beginning.
Tian Shuai, Zhang Hao and others couldn't help but feel shocked.
When the two were working in the company, Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Tian Shuai, it's all thanks to Chronos Li this time. I didn't expect that the U.S. dollar would depreciate so much all of a sudden. Fortunately, we invested all our funds in Japanese real estate."
Tian Shuai nodded and said: "Chronos Li also has many connections in the US government and knows a lot of inside information, such as the Plaza Accord. He may have known about it in advance, so he asked us to invest in Japanese real estate. In recent years, Japan's economy has developed rapidly. , real estate is booming. Our investments are skyrocketing every day. If we sell the real estate in the future, we will definitely make a fortune. And because of the depreciation of the US dollar and the appreciation of the yen, it is equivalent to speculating in foreign exchange."
"Go out for a drink with Mr. Li someday and thank him." Zhang Hao said.
"Yeah!" Tian Shuai nodded.
…
At the end of October, Dongfang Yuqin came back. She was a little thin, probably because she was tired in Japan.
"Mr. Li, fortunately, I have lived up to my promise. All 22 billion US dollars have been invested in real estate, and it has not attracted people's attention. In addition, the location and house I selected have room for appreciation!"
"Dongfang Yuqin, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard for me to work for you, Mr. Li. Besides, of the US$22 billion investment, US$2 billion belongs to me. I am actually working for myself." Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.
Li Zetian nodded to her and said, "Okay, you can rest at home for a week and don't be in a hurry to go to work."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Li."
Dongfang Yuqin lives at Li Zetian's house on weekdays due to work needs. However, Li Zetian gave her a long vacation, and she went to New York to live with her mother.
Li Zetian watched Dongfang Yuqin leave quietly, thinking in his heart that Dongfang Yuqin was already very rich, and after this investment, her wealth would definitely increase several times.
At this time, Li Zetian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "A multi-billion dollar billionaire acts as his personal secretary. Who would believe it?"
well!
Li Zetian shook his head.
The next morning, Zhang Hao suddenly called and invited Li Zetian for a drink. At the same time, he briefly reported on the company's situation, saying that the modem (modem) had been developed.
Li Zetian was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately went to Galaxy Network Company.
With a modem, you can access the Internet through a telephone line.
