Chapter 13: The Struggle for Godhead
There is a thin line between a genius and a madman, and a god and a demon are also a thin line.
If George Soros could hear John's admiration and excitement when he talked about the Eastern Devil, he would feel very aggrieved by this.
He wanted to be a god.
A god to fear, to be respected, to be worshipped, and to have countless followers, a god who controls the destiny of all beings.
He has never shied away from this.
George Soros is a Jew.
The Jews, on the other hand, believe only in Judaism, and for the Jews, there is only one God. His name was Yahweh, and the Hebrew word for it was "????????."
But George Soros is not Jehovah.
When he was in college, he had a god-like idol mentor in his heart.
Jesse Livermore.
Before the Wall Street crash of 1929, Livermore shorted the stock market in advance, making a total of $100 million during the crash. In the United States, where taxes were only $4.2 billion a year, Livermore once again reached the pinnacle of his life, owning the most beautiful office in New York, installing a private elevator to his office, and smoking dozens of fine Cuban cigars a day.
Then came the outbreak of what is now known as the Great Depression.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Soros was born in Hungary during the Great Depression, and experienced the wars brought about by the Great Depression, and as a Jew, you can imagine it in that era.
That's already an afterthought.
In Jesse Livermore's glory days, all he had to do was tell someone that he wanted to short a stock, or that he was very unhappy with a listed company, and that stock would plummet by at least five percent because of his words.
What is this concept?
God is also unable to snatch wealth from people, and if a believer suddenly hears that he is going to take all his possessions while prostrating, he will fight hard and curse his mother. But Jesse Livermore could, with a look and a word, snatch the money from the wealth-hungry guys and take off their underwear.
As he grew older and older, George Soros took Jesse Livermore as his life's goal and spiritual guide.
And this spiritual mentor of his, who was once disgusted with him, became Li Fomo, and was called the god of Wall Street by his worshippers.
George Soros has always wanted to be such a god.
I've always wanted to.
He likes the feeling of standing under the fluorescent lights of the media, the feeling of being adored, the feeling of being intimidated, and the feeling of looking down on the crowd.
Of course, that's not all the reason.
There is a well-established logical relationship in the economic logic recognized around the world: supply and demand, which determine price variables.
In some respects, this logical relationship written into the textbook is correct, but in some cases it has to be marked with a relative relationship. Because, this article is written in the textbook and tells people all over the world in the economic logic, it has never been written: price can change the relationship between supply and demand.
If we have to say where there is a problem with logic, it can only be said that this logic is dead, and people are alive. The market is determined by someone, so the market has its own life, and the change in the relationship between supply and demand is also in the hands of people.
Unfortunately, people, 90 percent are sheep.
As Jesse Revermoore once did, when he told the sheep what to do, the sheep would choose to charge in one direction at all costs, and the sheep would turn into a white ocean, and the relationship between the buyers and sellers of the stock would be tilted, and the stock price would fall.
The times create heroes, and heroes create the times.
George Soros has long thought that as long as he takes this opportunity to stand in front of the stage and point out the problems of the European exchange rate mechanism and express a bearish logical view, it is conceivable that if the existing European exchange rate mechanism collapses under various factors, then under the media focus and fueling the situation, he will become a god-like existence.
At that time, under the aura of God, as long as he waves his arms, there will be countless cannon fodder willing to spill his brains, and the quantum fund will be like a temple, and wherever he goes, the torrent of capital will be enough to crush any existence.
But it's a pity that someone took a step ahead of this halo.
This is a very horrible loss.
An invisible, but invisible, but invisible, loss.
Of course, through the wall, it is impossible for Soros to hear the conversation in another office. He stroked his chin and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Everything that the Oriental man has done is in the interests of the United States now, and he has to consider whether this is a new spokesman for other families and existing parties behind the scenes.
After pondering for a long time, Soros picked up the phone on the table, he wanted to call Greenspan to investigate, but in the end, he put down the phone in his hand again, this question is not for him to ask.
"I believe that standing in Allen's position, I must hope to see such an ending. ”
Raising his eyebrows helplessly, Soros put down the phone and picked up the pen on the table, although he couldn't ask this question, it didn't mean that he couldn't continue to do it. Standing in Greenspan's position, standing in the position of the Americans, whoever profits in this chess game is in the interests of the United States.
What he wants to do is in the interests of the United States.
"Today, we see problems with the European exchange rate mechanism, as is the case with the UK economy, where the value of the pound is significantly overvalued in an economic cycle facing a recession......"
"In the UK, the economy is at a very dangerous point with high interest rates, and I think the UK should make the right choice to lower the current interest rates. ”
“......”
"But the Bank of England is wrong to think that interest rates will lead to a decline in the pair. ”
“......”
"The current Britain can only develop better if it solves the problems of declining inflation and employment. ”
“......”
"I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before the pound depreciates. ”
“......”
I haven't written for a long time, but Soros's text description logic has not degraded because of this, with rich financial knowledge and summarized reflexive philosophy, it took him half an hour to write down nearly 1,000 words of analysis.
Bearish analysis of the European exchange rate mechanism, bearish analysis of the logic of the pound.
If you have to compare it, this is a tactic, a declaration of war, and a wave of battle flags.
It is entirely conceivable that Britain would be forced to withdraw from the European exchange rate system if the pound did not last three months, as Robert John had predicted, and that the article would then outweigh the influence of the Orientals in northern Europe.
Putting down the pen and admiring the fruits of his labor, a smile of relief and smugness appeared on Soros's face.
As long as he seizes this opportunity, then he will come from behind and become an omnipotent god.
When is it better to hand it over to the media?
John thinks that the Bank of England can resist for a maximum of three months, then give it to the media after a month and a half!
No one can read minds, and no one can see things thousands of miles away.
Shen Jiannan can't either.
Otherwise, if he heard Robert John excitedly and excitedly call him the Devil of the East, then this guy would definitely curse: shameless.
If he can know what Soros is thinking, he will also sneer by the way: Self-brain supplementation is the most deadly, you old thing, you really think a lot.
It's a pity that Shen Jiannan doesn't know anything.
In the ancient city of Rome, Shen Jiannan and his entourage stepped on the beat and wandered on the ruins of the ancient capital here.
Like an open-air museum, it is surrounded by world-famous monuments such as the Imperial Senate, the Arc de Triomphe, the Pillar, the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as many exquisite buildings and works of art from the Renaissance.
The whole ancient city is full of tourists from all over the world, as well as local people, people around the witness of the history here, or amazed, or praised, or took out their cameras to leave the memory of this visit, of course, there are many people who want to carve traces of this visit on the ancient city, but are stopped by the surrounding staff.
There are many tourists, and there is a lot of hustle and bustle.
In addition to the praise and amazement of Rome's former glory, one can also hear people talking about the hottest European economic topics of the moment. Occasionally, you can even hear people using a word that seems unfamiliar, and if you listen closely, it seems to be an Oriental name.
