Chapter 42: Speculation in the Pound Again

The next day, Zhou Ming and Caitlin got up early, and the classmates in the finance class and Jo Ross also got up early, after all, they still had to teach the British a lesson today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, what they are going to do is a financial speculation, and it is not as simple as the online joke that satirizes the appreciation of the currency, just transfer the money to the UK and then transfer it out. Because it's not a script, it's not that if you transfer money to England, the pound exchange rate will rise, and if you transfer it away, the pound exchange rate will fall, and if you can speculate so easily, then there will be no speculative masters, everyone can speculate.

And this time Zhou Ming's speculative actions, the first thing they need is to grasp the exchange rate changes of the pound, keep through the operation, transfer the money to the UK little by little, and then desperately buy the pound after the time is almost there, create the illusion that the pound is strong, and promote the rise of the pound exchange rate, but in fact, when the pound exchange rate really begins to rise, it is actually time to quietly sell the pound and transfer out the funds.

Only this operation is the standard operation of the bank, if you just invest the money in the past, without any operation, it is simply as stupid as taking tens of millions of huge money, but just simply put it in the bank to eat interest.

Zhou Ming, who aspires to become a world giant, obviously would not do such a stupid thing, so he has asked his classmates in the finance class and Jo Ross to prepare for this since yesterday.

In the morning, when Zhou Ming came to the office of the Triumph Building, he saw that all the students in the finance class were sitting neatly in front of the computer, Zhou Ming knew that these guys had been holding back their strength since they arrived in France, and wanted to behave well in front of themselves, but they were arrested and put into the police station before leaving the airport, which made them feel even more depressed.

In this regard, they also think that they have brought trouble to themselves, so now that they finally have the opportunity to perform, they must go all out.

Seeing that they were all so serious, Zhou Ming didn't bother them, walked over to Joros and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"We are waiting for the financial markets in London to open. "However, the pound has been in a slight recovery phase in the last week due to the policy of the Bank of England, which is very beneficial to us." ”

"They can't help it, after all, the pound has just experienced a wave of large-scale decline, and the Bank of England, as the Bank of England, will inevitably come out with a policy to stabilize the exchange rate, but they can't imagine that we will kill a horse gun back!" Zhou Ming said, "But this is also their own problem, if they don't come to provoke me, I am not interested in doing so, after all, sustainable development is my goal, and it is always bad to stare at a sheep to gather wool." ”

Regarding Zhou Ming's words, Caitlin and Joros were both confused, obviously it was very difficult for them to understand the classic sentences of later generations in China, and it was still very difficult for them to understand them, and in the end it could only be attributed to cultural differences.

Soon the time reached half past eight in the morning of British time, at this time the British futures trading had not yet begun, but in order to pave the way for the market, Zhou Ming had already begun to instruct the students of the finance class to start remitting money to the British account, and began to exchange pounds on a small scale through other markets.

In addition, Zhou Ming also made a phone call to the French president as agreed with Jacques, so that he and his friends could also participate in the looting of the pound. Of course, Jacques was happy to accept this kind of work of lying down and making money, not to mention the large number of big capitalists and the Jesuits in the country who were thinking about cutting a piece of meat from Britain all day long.

And as time passed, when the British futures market opened, the pound immediately reacted, rising by 0.5 percentage points from yesterday's close, which seems to be very insignificant, but if you zoom in to the entire market it is a terrible number.

To put it simply, if Zhou Ming and those French friends invested a total of one billion pounds, then they would have made five million immediately when the market opened.

Knowing this result, Zhou Ming smiled: "It seems that the British have indeed put a lot of effort into stabilizing the pound to return to the original exchange rate, otherwise there would not be such a big movement with our practices." It's just that I can't figure out why the British have to support the exchange rate of the pound so high, and if it can be lowered, it can also stimulate commodity exports and stimulate economic growth. ”

"At first, it was because the gold content of the British coin was the highest, and then because the British financial strength was the strongest, and now, it is the United Kingdom that can't get rid of his face, or with the development of finance, even if he wants to reduce the exchange rate of the pound, it is not so simple, if the aimless random transfer, it will also cause a domestic financial crisis. ”

Caitlin explained to Zhou Ming, and then she asked with some concern: "But Zhou Ming, I also believe that the UK must have done a lot to make the exchange rate return to the original figure, but it will not be like this, will they have doubts about this sudden increase in the exchange rate? Although the current increase is very small, I believe that it will definitely be much higher than the Bank of England expected." ”

Zhou Mingen sighed, looked up at Qiao Ross and asked, "Then what is your opinion here?"

"I think the same thing as Ms. Caitlin, and I think the UK will definitely look into it. Joros said.

If Zhou Ming didn't ask Joroth, he didn't plan to speak, because Caitlin was still here, and through the previous incident, Joros and Caitlin's cooperation, he had already been impressed by Caitlin's genius financial IQ, so Caitlin's analysis was enough. Of course, the most important thing here is the identities of Caitlin and Zhou Ming, and Joros is right to give up his right to speak.

Joros continued: "From what I know about the Bank of England, those proud bastards are generally very confident in their calculations, and if there is a situation that deviates too much from expectations, they will definitely investigate, and our operation methods are not concealed at all, once they are traced, they will definitely be detected." ”

Zhou Ming only thought about it for a moment before making a decision: "Since this is the case, then let's shorten the time and let the students speed up the progress." ”

With Zhou Ming's order, all the students in the finance class immediately started working at full speed, and they continued to use various dazzling operation methods to buy pounds through various channels.

Of course, Zhou Ming did not forget to call Jacques, although Zhou Ming could not fully trust this Mr. President, but as an ally, Zhou Ming is still very trustworthy, which is also to prepare for the next Mexico, if you lose credit in this, it will be the most worth the loss.

So under Zhou Ming's arrangement, countless funds from all over the world were remitted to the United Kingdom, with the support of these foreign exchanges, the exchange rate of the pound sterling continued to rise, but at three o'clock in the afternoon, the exchange rate of the pound against the German mark rose from 2.6 at the opening to 2.8, an increase of 7.7 percentage points.

This is undoubtedly the first time that the pound has seen such growth since Zhou Ming and Joe Ross shorted the pound on a large scale not long ago.

For this situation, the interpretation of various financial media is naturally based on the adjustment of the Bank of England's policy.

In the Triumph Building, Zhou Ming sat on the sofa in his office, holding a radio in his hand, which was playing financial news: "Yesterday the Bank of England issued a short-term interest rate to 18 percent, and today there has been a great increase in the pound, which means that the policy of the Bank of England has played a role, using ultra-high bank interest rates to attract international capital to London, and the exchange rate of the pound has naturally increased with a large amount of foreign exchange support." ”

"Although the UK has now withdrawn from the European exchange rate system, this is not bad news for the UK, because the UK has the strongest financial power in Europe, and he can exert all his strength without the shackles of the European system, so we believe that the pound should have a relatively stable growth period in the future......"

Listening to the financial commentary on the radio, Zhou Ming smiled: "Seriously, this time the British are really cooperative, when I persuaded the French to rob England together, they actually raised the short-term interest rate again, and even raised it to eighteen percentage points, and acted in this drama perfectly." ”

"So Zhou Ming, are you going to wait a few more days before selling the pound?" asked Caitlin, "because today's media comments are all very bullish on the pound." ”

"It's because the media is unanimously optimistic that we can prepare to withdraw, after all, the secret that the whole world knows is not a secret, and in the same way, when everyone starts to invest in the same project, the project has no benefit at all. Zhou Ming said, "So according to our original plan, we will start selling the pound little by little from today." ”

Caitlin nodded and fed Zhou Ming a grape, then turned to Joros and said: "Just do what Zhou Ming said, but remember to keep track of the changes in the pound exchange rate, if the pound exchange rate continues to be strong, we can slow down the sale appropriately and strive to maximize the benefits." ”

"Also, call the Élysée Palace and ask them to start throwing it too. Zhou Ming said.

"What if they don't throw it, or if they want to wait for the pound to grow a little higher?" asked Joros.

"Then you just tell him, if there is any loss or trapping, don't cry and call your mother, and besides, our battlefield is in Mexico, is one pound enough?" Zhou Ming said.

"I see, I'm sure the French will listen!" said Joros and went out to make arrangements.

And when Joros went out on the front foot, Zhou Ming's mobile phone rang, and Caitlin was a little surprised: "The British side won't know so soon, right?"

"It's a bit fast, but I think they're just skeptical. ”

Zhou Ming said and then connected the phone, and sure enough, a voice he was familiar with came from there: "Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, I am the Prince of Wales, I am calling today because I have a very important question to ask you, I hope you can answer me honestly." ”

Zhou Ming said a question, and the Prince of Wales said: "Today's pound growth is very strong, I want to know if this has anything to do with you, Mr. Zhou Ming?"

And so it was!

"That's right, that's what I did," Zhou Ming replied with a smile, but then his tone became cold, "The purpose is to punish you for not keeping your promises!"
