Chapter 584: The Sacking of Russia

What does this kid mean by that? Does he want to take himself to Russia to get a vote?

Li Zhiyang muttered in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at James again, James was also confused, and it seemed that he couldn't figure out this Bill. What does Broad mean by that

"Hehe, that's right, after I terminated the contract with the Hidden Temple Fund, I took a team and has been studying the economic situation in Russia, after all, I am most familiar with where it is, and between me and Pu Ting, there are many topics that have to be said"

This Bill. The look on Brod's face at this time was not very good-looking, especially when the name Pu Ting was mentioned, it seemed that this guy was also very dissatisfied with Pu Ting's behavior of cooking rabbits and dead dogs.

Li Zhiyang also understood a little at this time, it seems that this Bill. Broad was very eager to get revenge on Pu Ting.

But what was he going to do? Li Zhiyang didn't understand it a little

"At the moment, there are a lot of Western investors who are investing in Russia, especially in resource and industrial companies, and they have a lot of stocks in their hands. However, in 1997, especially after 'August**' in '98 years', many of these investors were frightened. ”

Bill. Broad smiled weirdly and explained to Li Zhiyang and James.

"And these large Russian joint-stock companies are generally listed in three places, two of which are in Moscow, one is mIcex with the Russian ruble as the main trading body, one is the RTs with the US dollar as the main trading body, and the other is the London stock market."

Bill. Broad began to explain to Li Zhiyang and James the trading pattern of the Russian stock index futures market.

At this time, Li Zhiyang already vaguely understood this Bill in his heart. What does Broad want to do, this guy must be trying to snipe at the stock market of these big Russian companies.

After 98 years, with the coming to power of Puting, Western investors adopted a wait-and-see policy on Russia's domestic economy, but then Puting's strength forced away a series of giants such as Berezovsky, and put Khodorkovsky in prison, and then nationalized Yukos, at this time, these Western investors returned to Russia with tens of billions of dollars. Especially in the era when the United States violently attacked Iraq, which led to the rise in international oil prices, Russia's economy also recovered, and these Western investors also made a lot of money. ”

Bill. Broad is a Western investor, but Li Zhiyang slandered in his heart, aren't you also a Western investor?

It seems that this Bill. Broad, he really has very mixed feelings about Russia

"But you have to know that all investors are extremely vindictive, so don't think that they are making a lot of money in Russia now and forget about the 'August **' in '98. In fact, they remember better than anyone else, and among the people I know, I don't know how many people are making Russian money, and at the same time, they are calculating, and when the time comes, they will shoot the Russian guys with a blackboard brick."

Bill's words made Li Zhiyang laugh, it is true that these professional capital players are indeed more vindictive, they generally don't remember too much about good things, but they often remember bad things very clearly.

This Bill's description, in Li Zhiyang's view, is very appropriate

"After I was kicked out of Russia by the general public, I have been thinking about the day I went back, during this time, my team and I have tried our courage and calculated countless times, this time the financial crisis in the United States is so bad, even European countries have begun to catch a cold, and Russia will definitely not be better at that time, although he has not yet been able to join the WTO, but this time, they will definitely not be better."

Bill. Broad's words said this, Li Zhiyang basically already understood, it seems that this old boy is determined to short-sell the stocks of those large Russian companies

"Can you tell us what you think, and if you have some actual data or anything like that, it will be more convincing for us."

James interjected at this time, he lost a lot in the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States some time ago, and the money he earned in London was either used to fill the hole or lost in the later bet.

He followed Li Zhiyang to earn a lot of money in London, but during this time, he lost almost half of the money he earned.

How could he not be distressed, so now Bill. When Broad talked about his way to make money again, James was of course very interested.

This is the typical gambler's mentality, losing money, of course, wanting to get it back quickly

"Well, I'll just say some data, in '98, Russia's GDP was about $300 billion, but after 'August', in '99, their GDP fell to about $194 billion. But then, as Russia profited from oil and gas exports, its national economy recovered. ”

This Bill is not stage frightened at all, and he is really a good man for some economic data from Russia

"By 2oo5, Russia's GDP had reached $72.5 billion, more than double that of 1998. In 2oo6, it has exceeded 900 billion, and just last year, Russia's GDP exceeded 1 trillion US dollars in one fell swoop. ”

The data that Bill said really opened Li Zhiyang's eyes, he really didn't know anything about Russia's economic situation before, and in his impression, he thought that Russia had been living a miserable life since the collapse of the Soviet Union

Now it seems that this is not the case at all, just this data, coupled with the total population of the country, the living standard of the country is completely average

To say that the gross national product may not be as good as our Celestial Empire, but the per capita volume of people is definitely higher than that of our Celestial Empire

But why, in American movies and television, I see Russia is very poor, the mafia is rampant, and beautiful girls will go to the United States or Western Europe to sell. What about yin? According to their per capita GDP, shouldn't it be?

Where else is Li Zhiyang wondering, Bill here. Brod explained it to them again.

"However, my team and I studied these data, and in the end, we came to the conclusion that these economic data are all theoretically inflated. Just like the data on the stock market of your Celestial Empire some time ago, there is a lot of water in it, and there is a lot of Western money at work. ”

Bill. Broad said this, and James was already excited when he heard it.

"In other words, there are a lot of bubbles in it, and most of the foreign investment in Russia is floating capital."

James interjected, and it seemed that the old man was tempted again.

"Well, the Russian stock market is now full of foreign investors who have come to invest in oil and gas. And this money, once the Russian economy, or the world's economy, has a storm, they will flee Russia again. ”

Bill. Broad said with a smile that now that James is tempted, it is good news for him

"The economic crisis in the United States is so severe that the economies of many countries in Western Europe have already been affected. My team and I have already made a judgment that in April, some small countries in Eastern and Central Europe will also be affected. By May, Russia's stock market will definitely be affected. So as long as we start to quietly enter the market now, and aggressively short the stocks of the big Russian companies, or the index of RTs, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money at that time."

Bill. Broad, seeing that James had already moved, but Li Zhiyang had not yet expressed his position, so he had to increase his efforts to flicker.

"However, you must know that Russia and the Celestial Empire are a bit similar here, what if their government intervenes in the market at that time, for example, if they come to artificially stop the market and protect the market, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

As soon as Li Zhiyang mentioned Russia, he couldn't help but recall their rather unreasonable style.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to worry about this at all, you must know that those big companies in Russia are generally listed in three places together, and they can indeed operate to stop the Russian stock market, but they can't operate the London market. Where, we can play him to death too"

Bill. Broad suddenly laughed, this guy's demeanor was even a little crazy at this time, but Li Zhiyang could also understand, it seems that this old boy must hate Napu Ting, hating it to the extreme, so he continued to attack these big Russian companies to retaliate against Pu Ting.

If the stocks of these large Russian companies go wrong, the Russian economy will definitely have problems, and then Napu will have a headache, and this Bill. Broad's purpose was achieved.

This kid's abacus is good enough, but I don't know if his plan will be realized at that time? Li Zhiyang thought a little worriedly.

That's when Bill. Broad also saw Li Zhiyang's hesitation, so he explained with a smile.

"Mr. Li, you don't have to worry too much, you must know that my team and I have been studying the economic situation in Russia for more than a day or two, and we are a team that has fought in Russia many times. And this time, in fact, our main target is not on the shares of these big Russian companies"

Bill. At this time, Broad said in a tricky way, and narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and Li Zhiyang and James suddenly felt strange.

I just said that I wanted to snipe at the stocks of these big companies, why did I say that the main purpose was not the stocks of these big companies

Looking at Li Zhiyang and James with suspicious looks, this Bill. Broad stopped selling the guanzi and continued to explain.

"Actually, our main target this time is not those big Russian companies, but the pockets of the Russian Ministry of Finance, you must know that this country has the third highest dollar reserve ratio in the world, with a total of 500 billion US dollars, so our main battlefield is in the foreign exchange market."

Bill solved the mystery at this time, and Li Zhiyang also had a score in his heart, it turned out that he was playing this idea, and this kid's abacus was good

You must know that in the list of countries in the world that are least trusting of their own currency, in addition to Mexico, Argentina and other countries that often suffer from inflation, I am afraid it is Russia.

At the time of the collapse of the former Soviet Union, when Yeltsin began to engage in shock therapy, he choked on the Russian currency and ruble enough, and almost bankrupted his credibility.

At the beginning, a group of Russian families carried a bag and a bag of rubles to the door of the store, and could only exchange one or two breads for the scene, which Li Zhiyang saw in the news broadcast when he was a child.

After that, there was a 'August **' in 98, when even Russia's national credibility was tossed and bankrupt, and the value of the ruble at that time was almost the same as waste paper.

Therefore, the degree of trust in the ruble among the citizens of Russia has always been low, and if there is a disturbance in the domestic economic situation, many families will flock to the door of the bank to exchange currency.

Everyone is vying to exchange their own national currency, the ruble, for dollars or euros, which are more reputable currencies.

This is also no way, no one wants to make the money they worked so hard to earn and end up in a pile of waste paper

And now it seems that this Bill. Broad also had the same idea, when the time comes, as long as it causes panic in the stock market, it will cause those foreign investors to sell their shares in large companies and flee.

At that time, in order to reduce losses, those foreign investors will definitely exchange their rubles for dollars after they run out of their stocks.

As long as they operate a little, they will definitely be able to exchange a lot of rubles at a price lower than the market price, and Russia at this time is different from the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 98 years.

Just because they have $500 billion in foreign exchange reserves

At that time, in order to avoid a recurrence, the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the same big inflation as in 98 years will definitely come to the rescue, and they will definitely take out foreign exchange reserves to maintain the market value of the ruble and prevent the ruble from continuing to depreciate.

So when the time comes, as long as they can speculate properly, then they will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the foreign exchange market

And Russia has 500 billion foreign exchange reserves, be careful this time, don't give them a toss

This Bill. Broad, it's really calculating, Li Zhiyang couldn't help but want to pat his thigh when he thought of this guy's trick.

This old boy, he is the real capital player, this means, this calculation, it seems that he really can't catch up

By the way, Li Zhiyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head at this time, and remembered such an interesting story in his previous life, that is, the news about the Russian Wei Xiaobao and Abramovich.

After Abramovich bought Chelsea FC, this guy has been spending a lot of money every year, throwing hundreds of millions of pounds on the transfer market, just like playing.

People don't blink at all, and Chelsea FC, under the leadership of the magic bird, is indeed competitive, winning two English titles in a row, but Abramovich is still not satisfied and has always wanted to get involved in the Champions Cup.

Later, in O8, Chelsea finally reached the final, competing for the title with Manchester United, another old powerhouse who had been in England.

Unfortunately, in the end, he lost the game with a score of 1-2

At that time, Li Zhiyang, who was a fan, was still thinking that in the next season, according to Abramovich's arrogant character, he would definitely buy stars in a big way to continue to compete in the Champions League

But what people didn't expect was that in that year, Abramovich, who had always spent money like water, didn't buy a big one, and in the following years, the Chelsea club did not bring in any new people, and never saw any big money in acquisitions.

At that time, Li Zhiyang was still wondering, is this Abu real? Why did you become so stingy all of a sudden? Later, when he played another Chelsea game, Li Zhiyang heard a ridiculous explanation from the mouth of a commentator.

It turned out that it was said that this Abramovich, because in the financial tsunami of 08, the Russian stock market fell by more than two-thirds, of course, he was not happy, and his net worth also shrank a lot with the collapse of the Russian stock market, so he did not dare to spend money as much in the football circle as before.

Originally, if it was said that it was usual, Li Zhiyang couldn't think of beating him to death, but today this Bill. Broad opened and closed his mouth about the Russian stock market, and then he quoted a long sentence of data on the ground.

It really moved Li Zhiyang and James to fool him, and Li Zhiyang, who was a little hesitant about this ransacking operation, suddenly jumped out of his mind with such a message.

At this moment, Li Zhiyang is convinced that Russia's stock market will definitely plummet recently, and think about it, the United States has made such a big financial tsunami, how can he, Russia, be left alone

"Well, Mr. Broad, how much are you going to need us to invest, and how much will you give us back in the end?"

Li Zhiyang made up his mind at this time, with such a good thing, of course he would follow suit, after all, Russia's money is not earned in vain, and if it is done well this time, maybe it will be another robbery equivalent to London

"At least 300 million US dollars, the rate of return, the minimum is 100 percent, but I want to take 10 percent of the profit"

Bill was not ambiguous, he had been calculating this for a long time, so he had considerable confidence in this operation
