At four o'clock in the morning in East Ward 8, when the Asian had fallen into a deep sleep, human activity on both sides of the Atlantic was at its most active. The New York foreign exchange market, the world's largest with 24-hour uninterrupted trading, is now entering the most drastic time of the day.

As the de facto central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve has the responsibility of setting monetary policy and supervising financial institutions in the United States.

As the world's currency, the U.S. dollar has a global circulation position, which also creates the Fed's unparalleled influence on the world economy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Fed is behind the world economy - oh, the statement behind the scenes is not accurate, the Fed has never deliberately stood behind the scenes, but has shown everyone how it manipulates the world economy.

In the history of the Federal Reserve, the chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1993 was a powerful man who made the world tremble with the names of economic czar and dollar president. For 19 years, from 1987 to 2006, the US economy was in the hands of such a person, who single-handedly created the status of the US dollar as a global currency, and what he said was even more weighty than that of Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, and he was the real helmsman of the world economy.

"Chairman Greenspan, Mr. Soros has arrived. ”

In the office of the chairman of the Federal Reserve in New York, Greenspan has the famous sign on his desk - "Get the money out of here!". I'm afraid that at this time, few people would have thought that Greenspan, who is already 67 years old, would be an old networm who spends a lot of time surfing the Internet every day. Clinton will vigorously promote the Internet industry during his tenure, and one aspect is inseparable from Greenspan's support.

Hearing the secretary's announcement, Greenspan put the open web page on his computer and turned to look at the door of the office.

Soros is four years younger than Greenspan, but he looks like he's ten years older.

"Mr. Soros, are you ready for your work?"

As soon as Soros walked into the office, Greenspan asked a little impatiently.

"I have 15 billion dollars in money in my hands, and I can enter the market at any time to operate on the pound. ”

Soros obviously has a big move, and it is impossible to keep the amount of capital absorbed by the quantum fund of this size secret. Not to mention that Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, has no secrets at all. And whatever he wants to do, he definitely needs to get official approval before he can do it.

After 1929, anyone who made a financial disaster in the United States had no background and had no life to earn and no life to spend. Jesse Livermore made $100 million in the thirties during the stock market crash, but in the end, even the building he rented didn't dare to claim that he was working here, and in the end he only ended up committing suicide. But it is also short, Peter Lynch has made money in the stock market crash, but he is a director of Fidelity Fund, so how many people jump off the building does not affect him to take the money and enjoy his old age "engaged in charity".

Greenspan, known as the economic czar and the president of the dollar, can exert influence on the economic functioning of the entire world, and is a man whom Soros must be cautious no matter what.

Of course, there are times when Soros is not worried that he will make Greenspan angry, because maybe he has been working for Greenspan all along?

"Ten and a half billion!" Greenspan repeated in an admiring tone, pointing to his position in front of him with satisfaction, "Sit down, Mr. Soros." We have a tough battle ahead of us, and I hope you and your army will take responsibility. ”

Soros sat across from him at Greenspan's behest, but hesitated: "Mr. Greenspan, seriously, I don't think it's a good time to operate on the pound. ”

"Oh, tell me what you think. ”

Greenspan did not feel the displeasure that Soros had imagined, but showed a somewhat appreciative smile.

Greenspan likes smart people, of course, he doesn't always like smart people, but who doesn't want the person who works under him to be smart when it comes to doing serious things. Soros's ability to do more than just follow his instructions shows that he is a person who can think independently.

Soros breathed a sigh of relief, poured himself a glass of water, and thought for a moment while holding the glass: "I recently did some research on the German economy, and the results were somewhat unexpected. ”

"Since the merger of Germany, forecasts have predicted that the German economy will take a big leap forward. The resources obtained from East Germany will allow West Germany's capital to have a period of extremely rapid growth, and the German economy will face relatively high inflationary pressures. ”

"However, various economic development data for Germany so far this year suggest that Germany's economic growth may not be as optimistic as forecasted. Although the East German market was annexed by West Germany, the merger of the two countries led to an unthinkable loss of assets. Since 1991, the pace of German economic growth has been slowing, and although the Russian North Sea Fleet incident has affected it, it is also true that domestic growth has been sluggish. Maybe the market in East Germany was not as big as it thought, and maybe they lost a lot of blood in the process of merging the two Germanys......"

"You're right. Greenspan nodded and affirmed Soros's analysis: "Now that the pound is overvalued against the mark, the German economy is not as expected will make our operation easier." ”

"But if we hit the pound, it will be a major positive for the Germans. Soros only showed his momentum a little at this moment, and opened his eyes in one sentence: "If the pound encounters a crisis, its influence in Europe will be greatly weakened." The Germans have recovered from the wounds of 1991 and no one will be able to stop them from moving forward with the euro. ”

"Perhaps in the near term, manipulating the pound is an excellent project. But in the long run, the decline of the pound will not be worth the cost for the United States. ”

Papapapapa, Greenspan finally smiled completely at this point, and couldn't help but applaud: "Mr. Soros, you can see such a distant future, it's really amazing. ”

"You're right, the Germans have been seeking to form the EU and issue the euro for a long time, and the British are really our best allies in Europe. And a united Europe is not so comfortable for the United States, and even a threat to the United States. ”

"But you can't just look at Europe, you have to look at another place. Greenspan reached out and drew an arc in the air to the lower right corner, then nodded hard.

Soros groaned slightly, quickly realizing what he meant. If the starting point of Greenspan's gesture is Europe, then the obvious starting point is the most critical point in his petrodollar system – the Middle East, or Iraq, to be precise.

"Iraq, it's not going well, is it?"

"That's right. ”

Greenspan nodded cautiously, and said with an irritated expression: "Iraq has been very unquiet recently, and there is some intelligence that Saddam may have left something after his death." It could be a tape, a book manuscript, or a bloody bandana. This haunting fellow is more troublesome when he dies than when he was alive. (Chapter 676, already in >.)

"The resistance in Iraq is getting stronger, and the forces we are committing there can only grow. The United States has just ended its confrontation with the Soviet Union and needs to rely on oil to complete the control and harvest of the world economy, and Iraq is the most important move of the United States in the Middle East, which is very important. But on the other hand, the United States, after the confrontation with the USSR, has been very tired for decades. ”

Soros was obviously stunned when he heard these inside stories, and said thoughtfully: "Iraq's military investment is very large?"

Greenspan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's beyond imagination." ”

Having stationed troops in Iraq 10 years ahead of schedule is a bit more than the United States can bear. The fact that the United States, which harvests the world in the 21st century, can fight two security wars at the same time does not mean that the United States in 1993 can also do it.

"We need some unintended gains to continue to maintain our presence in Iraq. The pound is just the beginning, and our goal is to hit the economy of Hong Kong by hitting the pound, and then to create an economic crisis in Southeast Asia. It is only by harvesting Britain and Southeast Asia that the petrodollar strategy can continue. ”

"That's it, so ......"

Soros suddenly said: "That monster in China will break its promise to make a move, because this is actually what we invited?"

"That's right, operating at both ends of the Eurasian continent at the same time, only that monster can do such a trick!"

Greenspan looked at Soros, who was a little impressed by his performance today, and decided to give him one last time.

"That monster in China has too much influence in the financial markets. ”

"Soros, you're a man of amazing talent. Greenspan's eyes flickered, full of anticipation: "To fight that monster, there must be a hero of our own." If you can do this, your legend will spread all over the world. You will be the emperor of the financial world, and you will be the indestructible shield of American finance. ”

"For the sake of America, do you understand?"

"Mr. Greenspan, to be honest – I'm sixty-three years old, but I've never been so ambitious in my life. ”

"Let's earn a vote for TM, for America!"

Greenspan looked at Soros's outstretched hand, laughed heartily and covered it with his own hands.

"God bless America, do it. ”

Greenspan pushed the phone on his desk in front of Soros and made a gesture of please.

Soros was not polite, grabbed the phone and pressed the number, and neatly gave the order to the other side of the phone.

"According to the plan, the sale of five billion pounds is now begins. ”
