Chapter 0359: Super Bosses

"It's just that in London, the British Virgin Islands, which are well-known offshore financial centers in the world, many offshore fund dealers will set up offices in a centralized manner to facilitate communication between dealers and centralized transactions. Colonel Pavlov went on to explain.

"Over time, in these offshore financial centers of the world, as the major dealers become more and more connected to each other, when there is a major financing need or there is major news in the offshore market, those dealers will come together to discuss the matter. ”

"Therefore, the major traders have formed a certain scale of unofficial meetings in private, and everyone sits down to discuss any major events. ”

"It's just that these councils are unofficial, with no formal rules or laws, and no fixed number of participants to attend. ”

"Often, this meeting is attended by these few dealers who have a good relationship, and the next meeting is attended by several other dealers. ”

"So this kind of organizational structure of the council is very loose, coupled with the competition between the major dealers, when the meeting is held, the major dealers have their own ghosts, each has their own calculations, and tries to maximize their own interests by all means. ”

"Therefore, this kind of council often fails to form a unified opinion in the end, so this loose form of council is not so much a cooperative alliance between major dealers, but a gladiatorial arena for major dealers to pursue profits!"

"In recent days, the world's major offshore capital dealers have gathered in the British Virgin Islands, in fact, they are here to participate in this kind of meeting and compete for interests!"

"Of course, with the development of the times, the world's offshore financial market has also undergone some changes, such as London. ”

"As the world's largest offshore financial center, London has been actively trying to reform offshore financial transactions in recent years, and the London Stock Exchange will bundle large offshore funds for auction transactions, which can be regarded as a financial innovation. ”

"Of course, it is still unknown whether this financial innovation will completely change the tradition of loose trading in the world's offshore financial market, but I am not very optimistic, I think that in the next few decades, the world's offshore financial market will still be dominated by over-the-counter trading!"

"Oh, I see. Qiao Tianyu nodded.

After the introduction of Colonel Pavlov, Qiao Tianyu not only has a deeper understanding of the current situation and trading rules of the world's offshore financial market transactions, but also has a further understanding of the recent gathering of bigwigs in the British Virgin Islands.

"Since the main source of offshore funds is international trade, many of the world's major exporters of bulk commodities will have a large amount of offshore funds, and they will become an important force in the world's offshore financial market. Qiao Tianyu then asked.

"Then my second question is, what are the main forces in the world's offshore financial market now? That is, what are the major dealers of offshore funds that you just mentioned?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Joe, that's a good question! It's a high-level question that only those of us in the financial industry can ask!" Colonel Pavlov explained with a smile.

"In the eyes of laymen, there is almost no entry threshold in the world's offshore financial market, as long as there is foreign exchange, you can participate, so you think that the world's offshore financial market is too complex and disorderly, but in fact, it is not. ”

"Although there are hundreds of millions of participants in the world's offshore financial market, the size of the world's offshore financial market is too large, and those smaller traders seem to be insignificant in front of the entire offshore financial market, and it is difficult to have an impact, so it can be completely ignored. ”

"Therefore, what really has an impact on the world's offshore financial market is the bigwigs of offshore funds, who often have tens of billions of dollars of offshore funds in their hands, and even trillions of dollars of offshore funds, and they are the dominant force in the world's offshore financial market!"

In fact, it is not difficult to find them, as you just said, the main source of global offshore funds is international trade. ”

"So generally speaking, the bigwigs in the world's offshore financial market are often the exporters of the world's major commodities. ”

"Those major exporters have accumulated a large amount of foreign exchange through international trade, and most of the foreign exchange is invested in the world's offshore financial market, except for part of the foreign exchange used to invest in the bond market and stock market of major developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. ”

"Therefore, as long as you can count the exporters of the world's major commodities, you can almost count the bigwigs of the world's offshore financial market. ”

"Generally speaking, the big guys in the world's offshore financial market mainly have the following major factions: the first is the petrodollar. ”

"Oil is the world's largest traded commodity, with tens of trillions of dollars traded annually, accounting for as much as 10% of global trade. ”

"So every year, so many dollars flow from developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France into major oil exporters such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and Mexico, and these dollars are called petrodollars. ”

"Because of the unusually large volume, petrodollars have also become the most important component of global offshore funds, accounting for about 30% of global offshore funds. ”

Therefore, the petrodollar system has become the largest super boss in the world's offshore financial market, and the main representatives of the petrodollar system are the Saudi royal family, the UAE royal family, and other oil-producing Gulf countries, as well as the finance ministries of Russia, Mexico and other countries. ”

"In addition to the petrodollar system, another important source of global offshore funds is the world's major foreign trade commodity exporters, the most typical representative of which is Japan, they are known as foreign trade departments. ”

"After World War II, Japan vigorously developed high-tech industries through scientific and technological innovation, vigorously developed an export-oriented economy, and they exported a large number of high-tech products such as automobiles, computers, software, and imaging equipment to the world every year, so they also accumulated a large amount of foreign exchange dollars. ”

"In addition to some of these foreign exchange dollars in the form of holding U.S. Treasury bonds, a large part of them are also invested in the world's offshore financial market, so the Japanese are also the superbosses of the world's offshore financial market. ”

"The share of the foreign trade department in the world's offshore financial market is about 16%. ”

"In addition to the petrodollar department and the foreign trade department, there is also the finance department, that is, those investment institutions such as Wall Street investment banks or international banking groups. ”
