"God, you have finally been evacuated from Java, this is the best news I have received in months, and to be honest, I don't even know how to make it up, and now I understand how difficult it is for you to do your work in the SFA, the Office of Military Equipment and Foreign Relations Research and Public Opinion Guidance. ”

"You're mistaken, we didn't have such an institution in the old plane. And what you said is too exaggerated, in fact, in the past six months, your work has been very good, and you have pulled the bond below 70%. ”

"But that's not enough, our goal is to pull the bond below 50% so that we can make a profit. But with the news of your evacuation from Java, I'm sure enough. But then again, some time ago, you were so uncooperative, and if it weren't for the news of your evacuation from Java, it is estimated that in another week, the bonds would have rebounded again, and I even wonder if you are our partners. ”

"That's also a way to do it, because ** is from the overall consideration, it is impossible to consider only for the bonds, and we have invested more than 7 million US dollars, we have fulfilled the obligations of partners, the rest of the things should be for you to figure out, if we do everything well, then what do we have to cooperate with you? And so far we have not succeeded in pulling the bonds below 70%? This shows that there is still a way. ”

"That's because the method you taught us is really effective, so we can pull the bond below 70% under such unfavorable conditions, so your SFA is really powerful. By the way, you should have set up this organization by now. ”

"I repeat, we don't have this institution, we didn't have it in the past, and we don't have it now. ”

After the conclusion of the Portsmouth negotiations, Huadong ** and fellow traveler Thomas Anderson reached a consensus of interests and prepared to join forces to short Huadong **'s bonds as the first cooperation between the two parties. East China ** also sent a special working group to be responsible for cooperation and docking work with Anderson, and the person who specially negotiated with Anderson was called Han Hongtao, who was originally a crossing soldier and later entered the Ministry of Security, because of his solid English skills, he was sent to the United States to be responsible for intelligence work.

Although Anderson was an American agent in the old time and space, not a financial expert, but the United States in the old time and space was a country dominated by financial capital, and capital predators gathered, shorting and speculating high, buying low and selling high are very common things, so I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, Anderson is still very experienced in this.

The principle of financial speculation is not complicated, it is nothing more than using various methods to sing down or praise a certain financial product, buy it when it falls to the bottom, or sell it when it rises to a high peak. However, the operation is very complicated, because whether it is buying or selling, it is against the market, so it will inevitably attract attention, but Anderson has his own way, he first negotiated in the name of different people, and registered a total of more than 100 accounts to disperse the target, so it will not be noticeable. At the same time, he hired writers from influential newspapers in the United States to hype up financial products.

Most of the wealth earned by Anderson in this era is obtained by this means, and this set of operations has been played very skillfully, this time he intends to borrow the bonds of East China's **, do a big vote, and completely turn over, so he is also full of confidence.

After the breakdown of the Portsmouth negotiations, Britain and France led the formation of the Far East Expeditionary Force to prepare for the armed intervention of the Far East in the Far East War. Anderson seized this opportunity and instructed the hired writers to publish articles in various newspapers, vigorously singing the praises of East China**, and reminding the American people to be careful of the risks of East China** bonds, because once East China ** fails, it is likely that they will not be able to repay the principal of the bonds. Sure enough, after this operation, the effect was very significant, and retail investors have reduced prices to sell the ** bonds in East China, resulting in a sharp drop in bonds, once falling to a little more than 6%. Anderson, on the other hand, acquired bonds through all the accounts he controlled, quietly acquiring more than $20 million in bonds.

But at this time, East China first sent troops to recover Shenyang, annihilated 300,000 Russian troops, and then launched the Battle of Manchuria, defeated the Russian army, recovered Manchuria, and completely drove the Russian army out of China. This series of victories has greatly boosted the confidence of the American people in East China's ** bonds, so the bonds suddenly rose sharply, rising to more than 9 percent in just one week, and the peak has reached 94%, which is infinitely close to the normal price of East China's ** bonds.

At this time, Anderson couldn't help but be a little flustered, but fortunately, Han Hongtao taught him a set of operating methods, first of all, he tried his best to depreciate the victory of East China, saying that this was only a partial victory, and it was not enough to change the overall situation, and the victory of East China was in the Northeast Battlefield, and the expeditionary force came from the sea, so this victory was worthless to East China, and it was also used in the wrong direction.

At the same time, he tried his best to downplay the losses of the Russian army, believing that although the Russian army lost, Russia's own strength was strong, and Britain and France provided funds for Russia, which could calm the economic crisis in Russia and allow Russia to have enough energy to send more troops to the Far East, and also pretended that there was internal information that Russia had planned to invest another 500,000 troops in the Far East, and so on.

Sure enough, after these operations, East China's ** bonds showed a downward trend, Bi Jing's capital in this era was not developed, almost all information can only be obtained from newspapers, and most of the American people are not familiar with China and the Far East, so they can only believe what the newspaper says, and after the newspaper continues to sing about East China, the American people have a deep understanding of East China** Confidence will naturally be shaken, some people began to sell bonds, and Anderson also through his many accounts, sold more than 10 million US dollars of bonds in a row, so many bonds into the financial market, immediately caused a lot of panic among the American people, and also followed the selling, which triggered an avalanche of East China bonds, and finally pulled down East China's bonds to about 7 percent after 2 weeks. Moreover, after the bonds fell, Anderson re-bought them, and finally not only recovered all the bonds that had been sold before, but also bought more than $3 million in bonds, totaling about $2,300.

However, the bond was only stabilized for less than two months, and East China ** launched a landing battle in Japan, and defeated the Japanese army, and at the same time dispatched the overseas Chinese evacuation fleet to Java to evacuate overseas Chinese, and defeated the British Far East Fleet.

But this time Anderson was prepared, before the evacuation fleet was dispatched, he first vaccinated the people, believing that the Far East Fleet was not the opponent of the evacuation fleet, and after the naval battle of the Natuna Islands, he tried his best to show the strength of the expeditionary fleet, even if East China defeated the Far East Fleet, it was not enough to change the balance of strength between the two sides, and falsely claimed that although the overseas Chinese fleet won, its own losses were not small, in fact, it was just a tragic victory, so after the expeditionary force arrived, East China was powerless to resist and so on.

It is precisely because of these early preparatory actions that this time the fluctuations of bonds have finally been stabilized, although there are only small ups and downs, but in the end it remains at about 7 percent, but this price is obviously not satisfactory, and it is necessary to further suppress the bond price. Therefore, Han Hongtao made an appointment to meet with Anderson to discuss the next move.

Anderson said: "But this time I still want to thank you, without your help, this operation would not have been successful." ”

Han Hongtao said: "You're welcome, now we need to help each other." However, now that the expeditionary fleet has reached Singapore, it will reach the East Asian seas in about one month, and this war will not last too long, so it is best to complete all the work within one month. ”

Anderson said: "Don't worry, I'm ready, I'm going to start moving right away, this time to pull the bond down to less than 50%, even 40% in one week, and then buy at the bottom, the goal is to buy at least $25 million in bonds, and you just wait to collect the money." ”

Han Hongtao also nodded, this time East China ** originally planned to invest $5 million, but finally invested $7 million, while Anderson raised $5 million by himself, with a total of $12 million for both sides. According to Anderson's promise, he will pay 2 times the remuneration to Huadong**, so in the end, he will pay Huadong** 1,400 US dollars. If he could eventually buy $25 million in bonds, Anderson would receive $11 million, plus interest on the bonds, and after deducting the associated fees, the final harvest would be about $10 million. This is of course a huge gain, and it will promote Anderson from a millionaire to a multimillionaire.

East** A total of 30 million pounds worth of bonds were issued in the U.S. market before and after, which was converted into about $145 million in US dollars, while the bonds operated by Anderson were only about $2,500, less than 20% of the total price, and the harvest was basically retail investors, which would not pose any threat to those capital predators, because the capital predators had abundant capital, and their sources of information were abundant, and their grasp of the situation was more comprehensive than that of retail investors, and they would not sell easily due to short-term fluctuations, which also gave Anderson enough room to operate.

Of course, for Huadong **, the recovery of 7 or 8 million US dollars of bonds is basically a small amount for the total price of the bonds sold, after all, Huadong ** not only issued bonds in the US market, but also issued the same number of bonds in the German market, so it is really nothing to recover such a point, but through this operation to test Anderson's execution ability to determine whether to carry out in-depth cooperation with him, now it seems that Anderson's ability can obviously be recognized.
