Chapter 84: The Vulnerable Bank of England

Meanwhile.

CanaryWharf,OneCanadaSquare。

William held the newspaper in his hand, his face full of uncontrollable excitement, since Old Brooke had made a choice, it meant that everything was really possible. It was like a poisonous insect was biting at his heart, and the feeling of exploding made him impatient to put the newspaper in the fax machine.

It didn't take long for the phone on the desk to ring.

"William. I saw the fax, congratulations, this bowl of soft rice looks good. ”

“BOSS。 Can you change the word?"

"Oh well. Then harden up, and now, give me a dry pound. ”

With Shen Jiannan's permission, William jumped up from his chair excitedly and hurriedly walked into the office of the technical department.

Kevin Mitnick was tinkering with the computer and didn't know what the hell was going on, and a series of English letters flashed quickly on the computer screen, which was tantamount to a book from heaven for an idiot like William who could only turn on and turn off the computer.

However, this did not affect William's admiration and admiration for Kevin Mitnick, and he was able to win the heart of Sasha Brooke, largely because of Kevin Mitnick's help.

A hobby of Sasha Brooke, a copy of her cell phone number, and a copy of who she calls in her call logs.

Based on this information, William met a friend of Sasha Brooke's and spent 5,000 pounds to get a single-digit phone number for her, and fate came.

Of course, Sasha Brooke had no idea.

She even hated Kevin Mitnick a little bit, staying in the office like a weirdo every day, not at all like William's humor, and being considerate.

"Hi. William, what's the matter?"

"Kevin. We're attacking the pound, can you help me hack the Bank of England server?"

Kevin Mitnick shrugged his shoulders: "You know, it's definitely not possible. Say, what's the matter with me. ”

"Ha! It's nothing, I just want to come to you to confirm, our one-click shooting, the maximum range that the central server can bear, I don't want to make our own server smoke first. ”

"This problem, if you are safe, you can set the number of deals per second to 30 for all traders. No matter how big it is, I can't make sure that all the data flows into the exchange's servers, which will cause lag. ”

“OK!”

"It's not early, I'll get off work first. Bye. ”

"Bye-bye!"

With Kevin Mitnick leaving, William walked into the trading department and sat down in the central trading area full of excitement.

Bang Bang Bang –

"Guys. It all cheered me up. ”

A pair of eyes suddenly looked at William excitedly, and from his excited appearance, who could not know what to do.

Sure enough, William didn't sell anything, and roared like a nervous disorder.

"Are you ready to bring down the Bank of England? Now, give me their. ”

Bang bang bang –

All the hearts beat wildly, especially the traders who came with them from China, and their excited faces were all blood-red.

What is the Bank of England?

It is the central bank of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, an ancient bank that existed since the days of the Empire, and is recognized as the most powerful central bank in the world.

Even Hong Kong's major note-issuing banks have to be constrained by the Bank of England.

It represents the sovereign credibility of the entire empire on which the sun never sets.

That is the empire on which the sun never sets, with many colonies in the world, robbing countless wealth, steel-armored iron ships blasting open the gates of China, opium poisoning really plundered countless wealth, entered the imperial capital, forcibly occupied Hong Kong, and extracted blood from Hong Kong for nearly a hundred years.

Can ..... now

The beating of the drum-like heartbeat shook many traders blue and blood-red, staring at the computer screen like hungry wolves, waiting for William to give instructions.

William was just as excited to bring down the Bank of England, which he had never even dreamed of before.

Back then, his father was beaten to death by the Englishman, and when he found the police station, the police station not only did not deal with it, but scolded his father for not provoking the British, and William will never forget the pain and humiliation for the rest of his life.

Forcing himself to calm down, William opened the chart of the pound to the mark on the trading software.

Since the UK was the latest to join the ECU, the pound has been rising continuously since 1990, and the main trend has been a long-term bullish trend for up to two years.

At one point, the exchange rate of the pound against the mark was pulled up to 2.9585, showing a clear bullish trend.

For the average trader, the upside is up to two years, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity to go short.

In fact, it is not, because in terms of probability, there is only one highest point, and people with rich professional transactions know that there is no difference between guessing and touching the top out of thin air and catching bullets with your hands.

But it is precisely the bullets held by professional traders that are the greatest boost that any capital needs, because the size of the positions held by traders is like a stream flowing into a torrent.

They are part of the general trend.

And trading is another game war, and whoever leads the wrong trend can only die.

When the momentum is like a rainbow, no one can stop it, and when the army is defeated, it is like a mountain falling.

Carefully thinking about the bullish psychological defense line formed by technology, William found the offensive point that the tactics needed, and if he wants to change the existing trend of the pound against the mark, he must erase all the gains of last week and play a super black line to crush the will of the bulls.

"Little three. 30,000 contracts are opened at the current price, with a single six, two-way position. ”

"Big bull. 2.9285, 10,000 contracts opened. ”

"Jason. The spot market is over to you, and I'm going to leave the Bank of England without a chance to react. ”

“......”

The night is already deep.

Late autumn on Wall Street is damp and cool, and you can feel that winter is not far off.

At night, George Soros did not have the tiredness and fatigue that an old man should have, and his eyes were shining and he was staring at the foreign exchange chart on his computer.

He had an indescribable instinct that today would be the best time to snipe the pound.

It's been two years, two whole years.

When Britain joined ERM in 1990, Soros waited. In his opinion, Britain made a mistake because the ERM required that the currencies of member countries must be pegged to the Deutsche Mark.

But Britain's economy is not strong, and the addition of ERM would be tantamount to uniting Britain with a united Germany, the strongest economy in Western Europe, and Britain will have to pay a price for this.

A unified European monetary unit, which is very detrimental to the return of capital, is in no way allowed.

The British, on the other hand, do not seem to have discovered the seriousness of the problem, which is undoubtedly an opportunity to make a fortune.

Although the empire on which the sun never sets is no longer there, the heritage of Britain is undoubtedly rich, and there are few countries in the world that are richer than Britain.

To remain in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, it is necessary to maintain the exchange rate of the pound against the mark above 2.7780. Germany is in a cycle of higher interest rates, and although the depreciation of the Italian lira has given Germany a small step back.

Judging from the standpoint of Schlesinger's performance, neither he nor Kohl wanted the Deutsche Mark to disappear. Therefore, even a rate cut will only be temporary.

Habitually rubbing his chin, George Soros smiled.

Now, the Bank of England has the cards in its hand.

Exchange rate controls were carried out to forcibly stop the outflow of capital, but with the British environment, if it was really controlled, the cabinet could all step down by the time Major came.

Hard no, that's only soft, long-term interest rate increases, monetary policy to stop capital outflows, but this is also impossible, with the UK's current real estate and securities, long-term high interest rates, the economy will soon collapse completely.

Then Britain only has borrowing money and raising short-term interest rates, these two hole cards.

Suddenly, dense numbers flashed on the computer screen, so fast that people couldn't even see the numbers, and all of a sudden, like the British mark-for-mark handicap, turned into a sea of numbers.

2.9285 buy 6

2.9285 sell 6

2.9282 buy 6

2.9283 sell 6

......

What's going on with this Nima?

George Soros looked confused, such a large-scale trading volume means that there are funds to do it, but what does Nima mean by double opening.

But in an instant, he realized that something was wrong.

Suddenly, the pound's high-frequency oscillating movement dived like a waterfall.

2.9203 sells 6

2.9185 sells 6

2.9163 buy flat 6

2.9103 Sell 6

2.9058 buy flat 6

......

If you want to live a decent life, you have to have a little green on your head.

Looking at the trading market that turned into a sea of red numbers on the screen, Soros had a feeling that he was green, but he could only accept it.

The number 6, in the market, can only represent that the bastard of the East made a move, and that guy snatched the honor that should have belonged to him.

But he could only endure it.

"Damn bastards. Where did it come from, and why did it remain unknown before? ”

London, House of Commons Chambers.

The quarrel between Norman Lamont and Pound Brooke also reached a fever pitch, but for a while, neither could convince anyone.

"But what if? I think we're missing out on the important point, that the rapid trading of the Internet has made convergent trading completely different from what it used to be, which has never happened before. Just like Finland, Spain and Italy. God, tens of billions of dollars are traded in a single day, which is unimaginable. ”

"So what, no one knows the Internet and computers better than me, too much data can make the server lag, and its maximum transaction limit is ...... I expected"

Bang –

The closed conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a young man in his thirties burst in in a panic, and Norman Lamont scolded the visitor as if he had been stepped on by the tail.

"Rowan, don't you know I'm in a meeting?"

"Oh no, my lord, the pound has fallen below 2.7950. ”

"What do you say? It's absolutely impossible!"
