At eight o'clock in the morning on May 1, London time, two Rolls-Royce sedans drove into Luden Airport, a special service for private jets on the outskirts of London, and the cars drove directly onto the tarmac, where a plane was already waiting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The car stopped in front of the plane, and George and the Earl of Mountbatten stepped out of the car, and the Count said to George, "It seems that every lunch has a beginning and an end, and although I would love to keep Mr. George at the castle a little longer, and to introduce you to my proud collection, you still have a large family business to attend to, so our meeting can only end with regret." ”

George also said to the Earl: "I am very sorry for this, but I must go back, but I prefer that the loan from the Royal Bank of London will be paid as soon as possible, and my family needs it very much." ”

Earl Mountbatten smiled: "I think I have heard a lot about the predicament faced by Big Wood Bank during this time, but please also understand that the transfer of funds is not as simple as a simple number change, especially for cross-border and cross-continent capital transactions like ours, he will involve exchange rates and capital reserves of the country where it is located, etc., it is a very complex financial project, I think you need to convince yourself to be a little more patient." ”

As the patriarch of the Great Wood family, George certainly understands the problem of cross-border transactions of money, and also understands that such a large transfer of funds will not be as simple as ordinary people withdrawing money from other places, he needs to go through a lot of procedures, and of course he also understands the efficiency of these British gentlemen.

"Dear Earl, I don't want to argue with you, but I suggest that this time be kept as short as possible. ”

Earl Mountbatten felt a little inexplicable about George's words, so George went on to explain to him: "Yesterday afternoon at the World Trade Center in New York, Tang Ran, the patriarch of the Tang family, personally attended the press conference on the investment signing of the Quantum Fund, announcing an investment of $30 billion in the Quantum Fund. It's strange that this happened just after the Royal Bank of London announced that it was lending to Big Wood Bank. ”

The Earl of Mountbatten glanced at George and asked, "Do you mean that their purpose is to target the loan given to you by the Royal Bank of London?"

George nodded yes, and Mountbatten smiled: "All I can say is that Mr. George is thinking too much, or I don't understand what is it that gives you the illusion that they can deal with the Royal Bank of London?"

George wanted to say something, but Mountbatten raised his hand first and said: "Don't say I'm too arrogant, I also investigated this quantum fund yesterday after hearing the news, but the result disappointed me, because this quantum fund is just a very ordinary fund company, although his past performance is very good, but his so-called performance, in my opinion, is just a small fight, not a climate at all, do you understand?"

George's words could not be said in the end, in fact, how could he not understand Mountbatten's words? Perhaps after Tang Ran's investment, the quantum fund could have a super scale of more than 50 billion, but he only invested in the United States, and invested very little abroad, and basically did not find any record of direct investment, which is the most important reason why Mountbatten was very confident that he was making a small fuss.

How can a fund company with no experience in foreign investment pose any threat to itself?

But the idea is of course this idea, but George is always a little uneasy in his heart, because since the confrontation between him and Zhou Ming in Itley, he always feels that Zhou Ming should not do that kind of useless work, and there must be a big conspiracy to do it with such fanfare!

George was sure of that, but what could this conspiracy be?

George didn't understand, and then Mountbatten patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, I can assure you that if the funds from the Royal Bank of London do not arrive in the account of the Great Wood Bank within a week, then I will transfer the funds from my own private coffers to you...... Can you rest assured of such assurance?"

Mountbatten had already said this, and George had no choice but to thank Mountbatten and board the plane.

The plane quickly took off and left, and Mountbatten went back to his car, but before he could sit down, the assistant in front of him turned back and reported to him: "It was a call from the United States by Mr. Zhou Ming, and he said that he hoped that the Earl of Mountbatten would help cancel the $20 billion loan from the Royal Bank of London to Big Wood, otherwise the whole of Britain would pay the price." ”

Mountbatten was happy, he looked at the phone that his assistant stretched out in front of him and waved his hand and said: "I don't have any interest in answering such a garbage call, you can help me convey it, what is the Chinese named Zhou Ming, if he wants to do anything, let him do it as much as he wants, as long as he really dares to hit the big iron door with his head." ”

After speaking, Mountbatten motioned to the driver to drive, and he showed a contemptuous smile when he recalled the situation just now: "I didn't expect him to have the ability to call me, I guess it may be the help of the Morgan family." It's just that Morgan's vision is a little too bad, and I really can't imagine what kind of idiot this person is, this boring threat. ”

......

On the other side of Martin's villa, Zhou Ming hung up the phone, and Martin immediately came over with concern, wanting to know what was going on on the phone.

Zhou Ming spread his hands over this: "Sure enough, it is exactly the same situation as Morgan said, the Earl of Mountbatten was very proud, he didn't even answer my phone, just asked his assistant to tell me to do what I wanted, and he was not threatened." ”

"Those damn Brits, except for arrogance, are arrogance!" Martin scolded angrily.

Zhou Ming had an indifferent expression: "Actually, this is also expected, if I make a phone call, he will be full of promises, and then really cancel the loan from the Royal Bank of London to Big Wood Bank, isn't that the most puzzling thing? Because my deterrent power cannot reach this standard." ”

"So it's still necessary to teach the British a lesson, because if you don't slap them hard, they won't feel the pain. Martin said.

"This is my plan, and I certainly won't let him fail. ”

Zhou Ming said this to Martin, and then motioned for Martin to go back to sleep first, Zhou Ming picked up the phone and dialed Joros's phone: "I'm sorry to call you so late, I hope you haven't slept yet." ”

Since there is a five-hour time difference between New York and London, when the stock exchanges in the UK start trading, it is exactly early in the morning in New York, so Zhou Ming said this.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, don't worry, this is the first time I have manipulated a financial attack on another country in the real sense, every inch of nerves in my head is excited, and now unless someone pours me sleeping pills, even if you let me sleep, I won't be able to sleep. Joros said, and it was clear from his voice that he was very excited.

"It is true that the bravest commanders can easily get too excited before a battle, which helps them to concentrate, but at the same time they need a proper rest, because I don't want my commander to get hurt because of it. Zhou Ming said.

Joros was very moved: "Thank you very much Mr. Zhou Ming, I think I will definitely take care of my body." ”

Zhou Ming didn't continue to say anything, just encouraged him a few more words, and let him start his operation to snipe the pound, everything was the same as Zhou Ming remembered, Joros frantically sold the pound in London through the Quantum Fund and several other cooperative fund accounts, while Joros's other account frantically bought the mark in another foreign exchange market.

This is how Joros operates, and it may seem as if they are unrelated, but in reality it is not.

The so-called European exchange rate system, the predecessor of the euro, is the first step towards a unified currency for the whole of Europe, and it is to unify the currencies of all European member states with each other.

This involves the difference in economic conditions and interest rates from country to country. To put it simply, a country's economic situation is good in order to maintain a high interest rate, and on the contrary, it is necessary to stimulate commodity exports by depreciating the currency, so as to stimulate economic development. In fact, one of the important reasons why the two countries in the east of China have been able to develop into developed countries is that the exchange rate of their national currencies is quite low.

Maintaining a relatively fixed exchange rate with each other is the basis for monetary unity among member countries, but if there is inflation in one country and interest rates are raised, then other countries will obviously have to follow suit, but the problem is that if another country has a sluggish domestic economy and cannot maintain a higher interest rate?

Now in Europe, Germany has just experienced reunification, there is inflation in the country, so the interest rate has been raised, so Britain has to follow the increase, but the British economy is far less than Germany, and he is in a very dangerous situation to maintain high interest rates.

So now Joros is selling a large number of pounds, in order to detonate the inflated interest rates maintained by the pound itself and promote the depreciation of the pound; at this time, Joros also buys the relatively stable Deutsche Mark, and when the pound depreciates, Joros can make a lot of money by buying back the pound.

To put it simply, someone sells eggs for five cents a piece, and someone sells bread for a dollar, which is equivalent to one loaf of bread for two eggs. Originally, people changed it like this, but suddenly one day, someone exchanged a lot of bread with the ratio of two eggs for one loaf, and then sold eggs in the market, maliciously lowering the price to three cents and three one, then other egg sellers can only follow the price reduction, at this time one bread can be exchanged for three eggs.

Then this person will exchange the bread in his hand for his own eggs through the ratio of one for three, then due to the change in the proportion, when this person changes all his eggs back, there will definitely be a lot of bread in his hands, and these are the money earned. And in this business game, the pound is the egg, and the Deutsche Mark is the bread.

However, as a well-known speculative tycoon in later generations, Joros's financial means will certainly not be so simple, because the depreciation of the currency will stimulate domestic commodity exports and then stimulate economic development, so Joros sold the pound at the same time, but also took out a large part of the funds to buy the shares of some companies engaged in export trade in the United Kingdom.

When Joros finished this series of layouts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned back in his chair easily: "Now it's up to those Brits to deal with it!"
