Chapter 44: Crisis

"And if this prediction is correct......" Chen Yubo's smile began to become conceited, and he said slowly: "Then it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us." ”

In the world we live in, country M is a country that can command all countries politically, and few dare to disobey it; militarily, it only needs to find an excuse at will, and it can launch a military attack on any regime it does not like, or plot a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow it.

On these two points, only big countries such as countries Z and E dare to argue with them. Although these two countries are not as strong as M in terms of comprehensive national strength, they also have enough ability to compete. Therefore, country M does not dare to act rashly against these two countries on the surface. But the small actions in the secret are commonplace.

However, in terms of economy, country M's economy ranks first, accounting for 11% of the world's total. With the acceleration of the process of global integration and the continuous increase of international trade and trade, it can be said that as long as the economy of country M is cold, all countries have to sneeze. Even countries Z and E have to look at the faces of country M. This kind of huge economic influence is difficult to match even Dongying, which ranks second in the world's economic aggregate, and the yen appreciation war between the two countries in the 80s of the 20th century finally ended in the complete defeat of Dongying.

Whenever I think of the current international form, some people often sigh for country Z. From an economic point of view alone, this great country once accounted for two-thirds of the world's total economy in history, which is unimaginable even today's country M. However, the decline of modern times has brought unspeakable shame to this ancient celestial kingdom, so that its people often need to find solace in reality in the lost glory. Fortunately, the great revival has now begun.

Country Z is still such a country, its historical development is in the middle of two extremes, constantly seeking a balance. It had the earliest ideas of democracy, but it created the most harsh and authoritarian feudal system of rule, it had the greatest thinker and the sentiment admired by all, but it also had the highest number of lowly and ignorant people in the world, and it could contribute the most honest and outstanding officials, worthy of emulation in the whole world. But the incompetence of many of its officials and the corruption of corrupt officials can also make people's jaws drop anywhere in the world.

Chen Yubo, the director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, belongs to the combination of the above two types of officials. He is young and vigorous, with unique and thorough insight, but he is also a great man of the country.

Since last year, Chen Yubo has been keenly aware that country M is pregnant with an economic crisis. To this end, he collected a lot of information and materials, conducted a lot of research, and cooperated with some information obtained from other sources, and finally confirmed his speculation.

Many people naively think that when the economic crisis comes, everyone will not be able to escape. In the thirties of the twentieth century, the gloom and misery brought about by the Great Depression in country M still often drift to people's hearts today. But it is in response to the words of the ancients: "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river." ”

Today, with the continuous enrichment of various financial derivatives and the increasing number of various trading means and methods, even in the global economic crisis, there can still be people who can make a lot of money, and this kind of income may far exceed the conditions of economic prosperity, but it belongs to a very small number of people.

Therefore, Chen Yubo is keenly aware that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This opportunity not only allows me to make a fortune, but also allows me to enter the financial market of country M. If he can be a financier with a net worth of hundreds of millions in country M, Chen Yubo can throw away the current director without hesitation.

The so-called "entry" into the financial market of country M is easier said than done. Because this is not a simple entry, but to make full use of the strength of the economy of country M to maximize their own benefits. If you can't do this, it's better to stay in the country than face the risks that may be hidden in the unknown environment.

Anyone can go to the securities market of country M to buy stocks, although the rate of return of country M stocks is much higher than that of China, but it is not so easy to buy high-performing stocks at a low price. The failure of the State Foreign Exchange Investment Fund to test Blackstone is a good example, and it is also a way-finding stone for the vested interest group represented by Chen Yubo. The outcome of this waystone made many people decide to stay in the domestic market with peace of mind and use the asymmetric advantage of privilege and information to seek huge benefits.

On the surface, as long as you have money, you can invest in the financial institutions of country M, but in practice, it is very difficult, and there will never be a situation where high-quality state-owned assets are sold to foreign capital at low prices.

Out of a high degree of vigilance and a strong sense of patriotism, the political circles of country M have erected many invisible barriers for any foreign capital to intervene in its own financial institutions, making it difficult for foreign capital to bribe officials to buy the assets of country M cheaply. Even if this administrative barrier can be broken, the joint litigation system will form a solid firewall, and the most critical role of this system is to reflect the interests of the public, mobilize all the people of country M, and effectively stop the misdeeds of power and capital, which can be called a reflection of the public government system.

Even if the administrative barriers and judicial firewall can be broken through, the local chaebol of strong country M can easily eliminate any foreign forces. In this shadow, it is difficult to open a financial branch even in country M.

Faced with such a situation, those bureaucrats and capitalists who have made a fortune in China will never dare to set foot in country M lightly. But if the prophesied crisis does erupt, then the situation is very different.

A large number of financial institutions that have failed will be sold at a bargain. The local capitalists of country M, who are too busy to take care of themselves, cannot afford to eat it, so they will inevitably have to give it to foreign capital. In addition, the owners of these institutions will inevitably rush to cash in to pay off their debts, so as long as they can intervene at the first time, they can buy them at a very cheap price.

This crisis will not last long, and the governments of country M and its allies, as well as other countries that are deeply affected by the economy of country M, will inevitably do more or less to save it. With this help, country M, with its strong industrial base and capital accumulation, as well as a rich talent pool, will soon be able to survive the crisis. At that time, these financial institutions, which were just garbage at the beginning, will inevitably rise with it, and the capital invested at the beginning can be increased several times in value.

However, as state civil servants, they cannot come forward directly, and the rich people who are good friends with them come in handy at this time. Of course, the money that Chen Yubo can take out is bribes, and they can not only help clean it up, but also help operate it in their own name. And after getting the news of Chen Yubo, these rich people will also express something.

As long as he thought of this, Chen Yubo's heart was a little fluttering.

Chen Yubo's thoughts were interrupted by Huang Liangyou: "The Chen family believes that if you want to maximize your returns, you should still short stock index futures!"

Chen Yubo raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which Chen family?"

"It's the financial family from Southeast Asia!"

"Oh!" Chen Yubo had heard of it, and nodded slightly.

The Chen family was originally based in Southeast Asia, where they were in the financial industry. Later, after the reform and opening up of China, the family began to gradually shift the center of its business to China. The purpose of this is not only because they are highly optimistic about the future development of the country, but also because of the anti-Chinese culture in Southeast Asia for many years, which makes them deeply sad to live under the roof of others.

Chen Yubo said: "The risk and return are equal, and although short-selling stock index futures can maximize returns, it is also the most risky. Moreover, we are still not completely sure at what exact time this crisis broke out and what the trigger was. ”

"Then I dissuade them?"

"No need!" Chen Yubo shook his head slightly, and told Huang Liangyou: "Explain the truth to them, and decide what to do." Whether it is right or wrong, we are not responsible. ”

"But I think that since you follow us, you should listen to us!"

"Where is it so simple!" Chen Yubo felt very amused at Huang Liangyou's words, but he couldn't express himself, so he had to say with a straight face: "These rich people you came forward to contact are all influential. As long as they come forward to say something, the top administrative officials of a place have to give some face, and in many cases even have the ability to influence the formulation of some policies. Why should they only look after you and me?"

Huang Liangyou's actual ambitions are much greater than those on the bright side, so he is unwilling to Chen Yubo's words: "I think we should unite with them to form a force!"

"You can't do it overnight, and at this stage, if we can convince them to get involved, we've already succeeded. Chen Yubo was patient and analyzed: "But when our plan is successful, the situation will be different. These tycoons will definitely be obedient to us, and then we will invisibly become leaders, and then form a unified force. Once capital and power form a synergy, do you know what that means?"

Huang Liangyou nodded, and then said, "I wish us success!"

Chen Yubo thought for a while, and suddenly said: "When I mention this Chen family, I think of something. ”

"What?"

"Does the Chen family have a little daughter named Chen Binghan?"

"Yes!"

"At a party, I saw this Chen Binghan circling around Pang Jindong. Later, I inquired and heard that she had a very good impression of Pang Jindong. ”

"Pang Jindong?" Huang Liangyou was in his memory, desperately searching for information about the name.

Chen Yubo reminded: "Imperial Holding Group ......"

"Oh, it's the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group that is being established recently......" Chen Yubo carefully observes everything around him on weekdays, even if it is immoral. Huang Liangyou, on the other hand, only pays attention to things at the macro level. Someone once introduced Pang Jindong to Chen Yubo, but Huang Liangyou had only heard this name mentioned. Huang Liangyou asked, "Why are you so interested in Pang Jindong?"

"Imperial Holding Group ......" Chen Yubo smiled and said meaningfully: "What a domineering name......

"What's the use of just being domineering?" Huang Liangyou snorted disdainfully.

"Don't you know that he is the second largest shareholder of Zurich Bank? ”

This is difficult for the rich people in China to do, but for the rich Chinese abroad, it is nothing. Some Chinese bankers control almost the entire banking industry in their countries. There are so many banks in Switzerland, and Zurich is just one of them, as long as you have enough money to buy shares. ”

"Even if you are willing to buy it, people have to be willing to sell it!"

Huang Liangyou was quite confused: "Why do you suddenly care about this kid?"

"You also know that he is a kid......" After a pause, Chen Yubo continued: "That is to say, he is very young, and he is still self-made, with such achievements at such a young age, can the future be limited?"

Huang Liangyou is still disdainful: "There are many young people who will make money these years, how can he make money, can he surpass Bill Gates in the future?"

"It's hard to say!"

"Then wait and see, it has nothing to do with us at the moment!"

Chen Yubo saw that his reason did not impress Huang Liangyou, so he simply threw a bombshell: "Have you heard about the black manual?"

Huang Liangyou was taken aback at the time, and hurriedly asked, "Did it fall into his hands?"

"Exactly, and he's using this manual for a lot of benefit to himself. Chen Yubo's eyes swept over Huang Liangyou's angry face, and he said with a little disappointment: "The person who made this manual has committed suicide in fear of sin." Although neither you nor I have ever been in contact with this person, and there is nothing about you and me in the manual, we should pay more attention to such a major event. ”

In fact, Huang Liangyou's appearance just now is mostly disguised. The purpose of his doing this was to extract some information from Chen Yubo that he didn't know.

Although this handbook has nothing to do with him, Huang Liangyou knows its value very well in his heart. This handbook is enough to cause an earthquake in the officialdom, as long as it can be held in his hand, a large number of officials must obediently listen to his words, so he has secretly followed the battle for the manual.

After Hong Yingfeng and others failed one after another, Pang Jindong was not only unharmed, but became bigger and bigger, Huang Liangyou broke off this idea. And he clearly realized that if he really got his hands on this manual, it would inevitably cause many people to covet it, and I am afraid that it would be a curse rather than a blessing.

mentioned this manual that constantly caused incidents, Chen Yubo and Huang Liangyou fell silent for a while, and the two of them were playing with their own calculations in their hearts.
