Chapter 717: The King of Capital (4500 Words Chapter)

The sudden disappearance of the stock market crash that was about to erupt made Americans feel relieved. Although the United States lost a lot of money in this stock market turmoil, the result was much better than expected in the eyes of Americans.

The Industrial 500 Index returned to 78% of its pre-monetary tightening period, the Dow Jones Index recovered to 83%, and the Nasdaq almost recovered its losses outright. Some people lose, but some people still take advantage of the dip and make a lot of money on the books.

There are some people who are quite suffocating, they have planned so much and made so many preparations, just to make a fortune in this US economic reshuffle, and at the same time try to make the dollar stand firm.

But now it's all in vain.

The monetary tightening of the United States was supposed to increase the amount of dollars overseas and increase the value of the dollar. They did not expect the opposite result: a massive return of dollars. Let the strict monetary policy of the United States be ruined,.

U.S. capital was thinking of harvesting domestic wool through excessively strict austerity policies, and when the market could no longer stand it, the reason for policy easing. As a result, the wool was harvested by overseas capital, and now the dollar circulation in the United States has increased sharply, and the inflationary pressure is even greater than before the tightening.

The current situation in the United States, let alone adjusting the austerity policy to be more relaxed, is not bad if it does not strengthen austerity.

Tightening will also mean that banks will be constrained. The business of a bank is mainly to borrow and invest. As monetary tightening intensifies, banks have less money available.

What's worse is that in order to ensure that their banks are not controlled by others, they have to use more funds to buy back shares in the higher range of stock prices. so as not to be taken by overseas funds to become the majority shareholder of their bank.

That consumes a lot of their money.

And most of those funds are borrowed.

Naturally, bankers will not be satisfied with this result.

Soon the Fed lowered the margin to 10% of the market capitalization, citing market demand as the reason for funding, and to 15% if the loan limit exceeded the market value.

Those measures are just to allow the big banks to have more money available. But also officially declared their monetary tightening a failure.

And the "culprit" who caused all this is celebrating with champagne in the bar of Hannah Castle.

"Thirty years of salon champagne is really rare now. But it tastes similar to the American sparkling wine we drank last time. Claire smiled and took another sip of her wine. "I don't feel anything special!"

This wine was a treasure brought by Flon from New York, and he was reluctant to drink it himself, and he was disgusted by Claire when he took it out today. He laughed and scolded, "Maybe you've been overwhelmed by joy by now!"

Claire laughed and said, "It's possible!"

He was very happy. Because in the "stock market crash" in the United States in just a few days, they can almost be said to have won a big victory.

Last Friday, Link did not know how to get foreign capital to participate in the action, and China alone directly used $300 billion to leverage more than $2 trillion to flood the US market and buy stocks of large American companies.

Together with the capital of other countries, the capital that poured into the United States was as high as 60,000 dollars.

The United States, which has not been sheared in nearly 100 years, has not been able to come up with reasonable countermeasures. On Tuesday, the big picture was decided.

Although the capital in the United States has not been completely overturned, it has also suffered heavy losses. Not only are they losing money, but they are also under pressure to be brought into board meetings by foreign capital that has amassed large numbers of shares in the stock market.

Flren and Neil spent more than $100 billion on Wall Street and Hong Kong respectively to buy shares in dozens of companies. They all made a sudden move when the stock price was still very low.

Then those stock prices soared as foreign capital competed with American capital. Link and they managed to sit in a sedan chair.

Most of the shares of Link's seven banks were already in Link's hands during the buyback. After Neil's operation, the stock price naturally recovered almost. And the most powerful thing is the stock price of Strus.

They bought back more than 30 percent of the stock at $70, plus at least 40 percent of the previous ones. After the market heated up rapidly, Strus's stock price was greatly increased by the demonstration of the Strus II system. In just two days, the stock price skyrocketed to over $130. And it looks like it's going to go up.

Link had promised to wait for the price of the shares to be recovered and slowly released from the circulation market.

Those repurchased shares can make him a lot because of the difference in the stock price.

Of course, not all of these earned ex-c's are his.

Link borrows money and needs to pay interest. And they need to give Neil some of them. The operators of Link and Neil's financial investment companies also need to pay some dividends.

Coupled with the fact that some of the funds had to be pressed into the shares of other companies he had previously acquired, he actually "earned" not much cash.

But Link bought about 3 percent of the major banks in several other consortia. These shares, he can already play a certain role in restricting those banks.

The event is over. But it's not without its troubles.

Neil took his glass and said to Link, "After this time, maybe they will be even more jealous of you." ”

"Without this time, they would have been just as jealous of me. Link sneered. "It's clear that they're trying to treat me like a sheep after the winter, like the average investor. And I'm the fat one in their eyes. ”

Fren smiled and said, "We all know that you are a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Claire laughed and said, "Now they must know too." "He's going to be able to share at least 10 billion dollars this time, and it's cash.

Neil also knew that the environment around Link hadn't changed much, and might even be worse.

This time, Link opened a bank in Xiangjiang and used money from China. The capital of the United States may not have known about it before, but it will definitely be found afterwards.

Link was originally Chinese, but this time he is so close to China, American capital will definitely be even more hostile to Link. The only thing that has improved Link's situation is that his financial power has become stronger.

And that's not just because the operation was extremely profitable. In total, Link made at least $150 billion in this operation. It is also because his bank is well funded, and on the contrary, other banks are short of money.

Businesses that suffered losses in the "stock market crash" will definitely need loans, and Link can compete for more markets from other banks. At the same time, he can do something with the shares of other banks.

In addition, the capital in Fren's hands has also doubled. This naturally increased Link's power on Wall Street. Moreover, Flon had a reputation in this campaign, and investors were willing to put their money into Ozette Stoll.

It is foreseeable that in the future, more and more capital will be available in Fren's hands.

Strus and Benehans Group shares, Link will certainly not be like the seven banks to put all the repurchased shares back into circulation.

Link can simply hold it in the hands of those funds registered overseas, and only slowly circulate some of them into the market.

That would not allow the two companies to be forced to delist due to a lack of outstanding shares, and there would be no need to worry about interfering in the operation of the two companies in the future after someone bought enough shares in the same situation.

Link doesn't think about those bothering things either. He smiled and asked Neil, "Are you going back to New York?"

"It's time for me to go back. The matter over there in Xiangjiang has been basically dealt with. The people over there can handle it. Neil said with a smile. "But your bank in Hong Kong may suddenly become one of the world's leading investment banks. More than 100 billion dollars were earned in one operation. ”

This is more than 100 billion dollars, although it is only a floating surplus on the books. But that's not going to do futures through leverage, it's buying and selling stocks directly.

Although it was because of the "stock market crash" that we were able to achieve such a record, it was already very scary.

"Your dividends, do you plan to put them in Xiangjiang or transfer them back to the United States?" Link thought about it, and felt that Neil was no longer needed to be in charge there. "Claire, where's your money?"

Claire said with a smile: "If there is no new plan, I plan to put it in Xiangjiang, I think I need to diversify my risk and invest some of my money overseas." "He thinks the U.S. economy is going to go downhill. And there is a possibility that the dollar will continue to depreciate. And because of the rise of the renminbi, the euro will no longer easily depreciate with the depreciation of the dollar in order to compete with the renminbi.

Other currencies have more references, and exchange rates don't necessarily have to be pegged to the dollar.

Investing overseas capital in US dollars to earn other currencies is more conducive to preserving value, and the profits earned are not necessarily less than those from investing in the United States.

Neil thought about it for a moment and said, "Mine should go back to the United States." I intend to increase my investment in Tormasson. What about your opinion?"

The shares in Thomasson Investment are mainly owned by Link and Neil, and the consent of the other two is required for either person to make additional investments. If you don't want to change your current shareholding ratio, you naturally need to increase the corresponding investment of all three.

Link nodded and said, "I'm fine." ”

As a result of this "stock market crash," there are certainly quite a few enterprises in the United States that are having difficulty in doing business. Thomas is taking advantage of this opportunity to invest or merge outright, and more money can do more.

At this time, Furren also said: "What do you think should be done with the funds of the Stoll Company?"

All four of us have a stake in Ozette & Stoll, and they are all founders. It determines the management of the company.

"The company has too much money for us to operate," Flren said. Do you want to take out some of the dividends first?"

Link looked at the other two to see what their opinions were. He is not short of cash now.

Claire doesn't have a career of her own. He is also not short of funds.

Only Neil wants more money. "I want to pay dividends," he said. ”

Link nodded and said, "I also agree to the dividend." "Since Neil needs money, Fren's side doesn't need that kind of money for the time being, and he himself will not object to dividends.

Claire is even more unrestricted.

However, Neil does not want to use the money to invest in Tormasson after dividends. Because Snapton doesn't have that much money, it's not fair to Snapton if he and Link invest too much.

"I would suggest that this part of the money be used to incorporate an investment bank in Delaware," he said. This can make up for our shortcomings in finance. He paused for a moment and said to Lin. "Although you have registered an investment bank in Hong Kong, it is always a little inconvenient for funds to enter the United States. ”

Link thought for a moment, looked at Fren, who was thinking about it, and said, "I'm okay with that!"

Fren thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree." We really need an investment bank. ”

Claire said at this time: "If this is the case, my funds in Xiangjiang can also be transferred back." It means that he also agrees with Neil's plan.

The banks they had previously partnered with were all retail banks. In the United States, banking regulations prohibit retail banks from making direct financial investments. Before, the amount of money they had was not too large, and it was enough to have Ozette & Stoll and overseas funds.

But now they have plenty of money to use investment banking to expand their influence on Wall Street.

The biggest role of investment banks is that they can use the assets of other companies, or even open their own financial derivatives to sell in the market. Make financial investments by yourself or by entrusting other institutions.

That would bring a number of Wall Street investment firms closer to the investment banks. That would really boost the voice of a few of them on Wall Street.

The Ozette Bank Group and the seven banks in which they can jointly control can provide financial support to the investment bank. Investment banks, on the other hand, allow the capital of these banks to play a greater role, and at the same time make money.

Claire then said: "If we were going to register an investment bank, maybe we could unite the capital of other countries. ”

Neil nodded and said, "That's a good idea." However, investment banks have to be dominated by us. I think that the foreign capital involved will not object to this either. After all, this is the United States. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I hope to absorb some Chinese capital." ”

Fren and Neil looked at each other and both nodded in agreement. They knew that Link wanted to unite all the forces that could unite.

Several of them have gained fame and fortune in this man-made stock market crash, and Link is especially the same.

Link bailed out the market earlier than any other business. It didn't work out, but he did. Later, like other companies, he bought back shares at the reserve price. But his actions could lead the public to him and he did his best.

Link's subsequent bailout can be said to be an act after reraising funds. They grab the shares of other companies, which can also be said to help other companies stabilize their stock prices.

What a selfless act of bailing out the market?

So he is already a conscientious entrepreneur in the eyes of the American public.

As for the capitalists who know the facts, they can't debunk Link. Because they went even further than Link. Link started investing a lot of money much earlier than them, and they later did the same thing as Link.

So, they can't say that Link is shearing sheep like that.

They can only consider themselves unlucky if they don't shave their own hair, and they can't let the public know that it was premeditated.

Link's tall image with the American public was established, but it wasn't enough. Link hopes to be accepted into his system with Chinese American capital. That is to gather the entire Chinese around him.

As long as this is done, those people will have to be more scrupulous if they want to deal with Link. Regardless of the size of a race, the United States will have a lot of work to do to understand exclusion.

For example, it took more than 10 years for the United States to form a legal doctrine that would allow Americans to "look the other way" at Arabs of certain nationalities and portray Arabs from those countries as the cradle of American terrorists.

And China is not the Middle East. If the United States wants to portray China as a rogue state, it itself will probably be doomed. Therefore, it is impossible for the United States to find such a legal principle that makes the whole society disgusted with the Chinese.

Moreover, if the top of the American society does that, the foundation of the United States will collapse.

The Chinese in the United States, overseas forces, and the forces in the United States can indeed make the United States dare not easily deal with the investment banks they want to register. And Link's position in the United States can also be more secure.

The next day, Neil and Furren returned to New York together. Claire prepares for a vacation.

Link's protection of his family has also been strengthened a lot. He was a tiger in the stock market crash, and there must be many people who hate him. He feared that someone would act against him and his family out of resentment.

But perhaps it was Link's armed forces that made those people fearful. That didn't happen.

The Link family does whatever they need to do.

Link occasionally invites some friends and partners to the castle for a party. From time to time, the children also invite their friends to play at home.

Although most of the children's friends are ordinary children, Link is also supportive of this.

He believes that children's social activities can exercise children's leadership and coordination skills.

He and his family lived a peaceful life in the United States, thousands of kilometers away in Switzerland, when something happened.

Eric called him in the early hours of the morning to wake him up: "Boss, Miss Spal was injured in a series of car accidents on the way to work and is currently on her way to the hospital, I have asked the hospital to make arrangements, but Miss Spall's injuries seem to be very serious......"
