Chapter 493: Goryeo 1 (First Shift)

New York, Southampton, Long Island, 19:00.

Before the sun has fully set, the estates along the coast of Southampton are lit up.

Each estate here covers more than two or three acres of land for the smallest, and even hundreds of acres for the largest, including the estate's own private beach, private golf course, private heliport, private museum。。。。。。

Soros bought three acres of land here in the 60s and built a small estate, which has been renovated and expanded as he has grown financially up, and today it is a medium-sized estate covering more than a dozen acres.

On this coastline, the mansions of historical and current Long Island celebrities, including countless princes and magnates, business wizards, industrial magnates, and art stars, are like a pearl necklace, hidden among the lush green pines and cypresses, and each pearl on this necklace shines brightly in different eras.

And Soros's estate in Southampton is, without a doubt, one of the most dazzling in recent times.

It is not the manor itself that shines, but the owner of the manor.

Soros loves his estate so much that he stays here for at least half a year from late spring to early fall.

He loves swimming, loves tennis, and prefers parties.

There is a very interesting phenomenon, whether at home or abroad, almost all the famous and rich people, except for a few who really have a flamboyant personality and like to bubble female stars, these rich people always give the media impression to the outside world as simple, hardworking, keen on charity, and do not care about material enjoyment.

Whether it is Li Chaoman, Warren Buffett, Soros, Gates, or even Larry Page and Xiaozha more than ten years later, it seems that the media is very keen to portray their side of being rich but still willing to live a poor life.

Even if Gates built a multi-billion-dollar aquarium in his home with a killer whale and hundreds of species of sea creatures, almost everyone would turn a blind eye to it and say how little personal pleasure he had worn the same clothes for decades.

Even Soros, a super-rich man who lives a luxurious life and contemptuously says that Trump can't build a house worthy of his identity, there are people who rumor that he is simple.

Perhaps, only in this way can it be in line with the public's perception of hard work and prosperity.

This party is a fundraising dinner hosted by Soros for his charitable foundation, the Open Society Foundation.

In the open-air courtyard, waiters wearing bow ties and carrying drinks shuttle back and forth to serve the guests attending the dinner.

"George, your speech was great, and I will donate $50,000 to your foundation to help the oppressed people of Egypt. A middle-aged woman in a backless evening gown showed a look of pity, "I hope they can live with more dignity." ”

"Cheryl, your kindness is always so heartwarming. Soros kissed the back of the middle-aged woman's hand, "The Open Society Fund needs your support, oh Cheryl, I'm sorry, I'll see what Duruken has to do with me." ”

Druckenmiller is both an employee of the Quantum Fund and a partner of Soros, who himself runs a small hedge fund that earned him more than $1.5 billion in profits during the campaign to snipe the pound a few years ago.

"George, something is wrong with Goryeo. Druckenmiller got straight to the point.

Soros led Druckenmiller to his study, "What happened?"

Druckenmiller turned on his laptop, and Soros frowned: "Drucken, you know I can't read this, you can tell me what's going on in a language I can understand." ”

Druckenmiller sighed: "Since last week, we have found that someone is hoarding KRW, initially we thought it was an ally behavior, and there was too much attention, but today, Andy Clay stumbled upon a gap in the liquidity of KRW, so we investigated carefully and found that the amount of hoarding was far greater than we imagined." I asked all the allies, and only McRiwether ate a small amount of about 2 billion won, but compared to this liquidity gap, the gap is too big. ”

Soros stared: "How much worse?"

"200 billion won, equivalent to 240 million US dollars. This is equivalent to 70% of the total hoarding of our 15 funds. Druckenmiller uttered a number with a calm face.

Soros frowned: "Can you find out who is opening the position?"

Druckenmiller shook his head: "That's not all, I checked the information of 33 banks in Goryeo and found that the data is also problematic, 25 of them lent nearly 5 trillion won to 10,000 accounts in a week, of which at least 3 trillion won were lent by leverage. ”

Soros's brows furrowed even tighter, his next target was Goryeo, who had already hoarded a lot of chips, and as soon as the battle for Indonesia was over, he would move to Goryeo and completely return this small country that had just entered the ranks of developed countries back to its prototype.

But at this time, someone jumped out and launched an attack on Goryeo first, and this variable was completely unexpected by Soros.

Druckenmiller's face was solemn: "Yes, like our method, in addition to us, there are also people who are shorting the Korean won, and they may be about to do it." ”

Just then, Druckenmiller's phone rang.

"What?!Okay, I see, I'm with George, and you can report back at any time. Druckenmiller hung up the phone, "Just now, the Goryeo exchange market opened, and the exchange rate of the Korean won dropped from 835 to 866, and the scale of the short order was 150 billion won. ”

Yoon Seung-hyun and his father, Yoon Won-bin, were watching TV while putting white rice in their mouths, and after watching the morning news and current affairs interviews, they finished their meals and went to work.

"The financial turmoil in Southeast Asia continues to ferment, Professor Jiang, and now the people are generally worried, if this storm affects Goryeo, will we be able to cope with it?"

"Hahaha, Chaeyoung, you compare our Goryeo with countries like Thailand and Indonesia, and President Kim will be angry when he hears it. The root cause of the financial turmoil lies in the immaturity of the market system and the inflated exchange rate. In recent years, Southeast Asian countries have had a high economic growth rate, but we need to pay attention to the fact that it is not their hard work and hard work that supports this economic growth, but the continuous import of foreign capital. In this case, once economic growth falls back and foreign capital withdraws, they will naturally erupt into what they see as a financial crisis. ”

"But we are different in Goryeo, we are the best people in the world, and in just 30 years, we have gone from a poor country to one of the most developed countries in the world. Our economic strength and market maturity are incomparable with those of Southeast Asian countries, and there is no innate possibility of a similar financial crisis. ”

On TV, Kang Min-sik, a professor at the Department of Economics at Seoul University, looked confident.

Yin Yuanbin is a taxi driver, and his wife worked hard to raise two children, the son is still promising, after graduating from college and serving in the military, he worked in a financial company, earning more than his father, and his daughter is still in college, Yin Yuanbin and his wife have already planned, and after their daughter graduates from college and gets married, they will quit and take their pensions to go around the world to take a look.

"In addition, we in Korea have a foreign investment control law, foreign capital can not exceed 25% of the shares, so, we are completely relying on ourselves to get to today, Goryeo's economy is solid, if international speculators dare to come to Goryeo, we will be able to let them have no return!"

"Professor Jiang is worthy of being a professor at Hena University, how good he said. Seunghyun, you have to work harder, you know?" Yin Yuanbin took off the last grain of rice in the bowl and listened to the professor of Han University, and he didn't need to spicy cabbage.
