Chapter 0555: The Rise of the British Virgin Islands

Seriously, for people like Michelle and Xu Jiahao, who are famous and have seen big scenes, they have seen the trading command halls of many investment institutions.

But this trading command hall, both in terms of scale and configuration, is definitely one of the best in the world!

When he came to this trading command hall and saw that it was empty and there was no one inside, Qiao Tianyu was shocked, could it be that his guests were also delayed on the road?

Qiao Tianyu took out his mobile phone and made a call, and was told that the guests would not arrive until about fifteen minutes, and Qiao Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief.

But fortunately, at least he didn't let the guests wait for him, and Qiao Tianyu also took this opportunity to take a break!

When Qiao Tianyu freed up his hands to take care of those little friends, he found that the little friends had been completely shocked by this super high-level trading command hall hidden deep underground.

Especially that Michelle, she was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close, she kept asking Qiao Tianyu where she got such a large-scale trading command hall, why hadn't I heard him talk about it before, could it be that Qiao Tianyu conjured up magic?

Michelle and the others' questions made Qiao Tianyu giggle, although many people in his previous life called him "the magician in the financial field", but he has great ability, and he can't conjure up such a magnificent trading command hall!

Seeing that everyone was so interested in the origin of this trading command hall, and it happened that Qiao Tianyu also had time, he smiled and pointed down with his finger and asked everyone what kind of place is this?

Qiao Tianyu's question made everyone even more puzzled, isn't this nonsense, of course this is the British Virgin Islands, and it has become Wall Street when you see it?

Qiao Tianyu explained with a smile, it is true that this is indeed the British Virgin Islands, but it is not too much to say that this is Wall Street!

In the face of Qiao Tianyu's statement, everyone was even more puzzled, how did the British Virgin Islands become Wall Street again?

Hearing that Michelle and the others put on a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Qiao Tianyu looked down at the watch on his arm, fortunately, there is still a little time, since they are interested, they might as well explain it to everyone in detail.

Qiao Tianyu cleared his throat and then explained that in order to truly understand this issue, it is necessary to understand the history of the rise of the British Virgin Islands as the world's offshore financial center, which has to start with the financial hegemony between the United States and Britain for more than half a century.

Before the Second World War, under the blessing of the Rothschilds and the Bank ---of England, the world's largest central bank, the City of London was the undisputed supremacy of the entire world financial map.

Later, in the Second World War, the massacre of the Jewish people by the German Nazis dealt a heavy blow to the global cause of the Rothschilds, who were Jews, and the implementation of the Belhard plan dealt a heavy blow to the strength of the Bank of England.

As soon as World War II ended, the United States, with its powerful military and economic strength, promoted the establishment of the Bretton Woods system, which changed the world pattern, under the guise of helping the world economy recover.

In one fell swoop, the pound was pulled off the altar and successfully established the international use of the US dollar and the status of the world's first reserve currency.

This was followed by the shaking of the position of the City of London as the world's largest financial center and the rapid rise of Wall Street in the United States.

In the following half century, in order to maintain its economic hegemony in the world, the United States has been striving to catch up with and surpass Britain in all aspects of the financial field, so Britain and the United States have launched a competition in the world financial field that has lasted for more than half a century.

Among them, the world's offshore financial market, known as the world's financial pearl, is the main battlefield for financial hegemony between Britain and the United States!

In fact, it was the United Kingdom, not the United States, that looked at the British Virgin Islands and developed them into the world's offshore financial center!

At that time, Britain saw that the development momentum of Wall Street in the United States was too strong, especially Wall Street focused on the world's offshore financial market, and wanted to compete with London in the offshore market.

In addition, for a long time, the North and South Americas where the United States is located have always been a relatively concentrated area for arms dealers, gangsters, and drug trafficking organizations.

If Wall Street is committed to the development of the offshore financial market, it will inevitably pose a great threat to the City of London, which is unacceptable to the City of London, which is the world's largest offshore financial center.

Therefore, in order to curb the rise of Wall Street in the world's offshore financial market, the British chose the British Virgin Islands, which is very close to the United States.

Because the British Virgin Islands is an enclave under the British Queen's rule, and it is only separated by a sea from the mainland of the United States, it is regarded by the British as the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" of the world's offshore financial market to contain Wall Street in the United States.

The British have made great efforts to build the British Virgin Islands into the world's second largest offshore financial center in the world after the City of London, sucking up all the surplus offshore funds in North and South America, and forming a trend of pulling wages from Wall Street.

Therefore, the British Virgin Islands has become an important barrier for the British to contain the rise of Wall Street in the world financial field!

After all, as the world's largest and oldest offshore financial center, the City of London, UK, is the world's largest and oldest offshore financial center, and its advantages in terms of offshore financial talent accumulation, trading technology advantages, and strong financial support are extremely huge.

Therefore, with the strong support of the City of London at any cost, the British Virgin Islands has played a good role in containing the rise of Wall Street in the United States.

With the BVI becoming the world's second largest offshore financial market, it has also successfully siphoned off most of the offshore capital in North and South America, making Wall Street's dream of developing an offshore financial market come to naught.

At first, the Americans were not convinced, and they have been tough with the British in the offshore financial market through various channels, but after repeated defeats, the Americans have also learned to behave.

The Americans know that if they continue to be tough, they are very likely to remain no match for the British, after all, in the field of the world's offshore financial market, the gap between them and the British is not a star and a half, and it is impossible to get back overnight.

However, this did not bother those smart Wall Street financial tycoons, who quickly thought of another effective method, that is, the strategy of "cover + detour......
