In the room where George W. Bush stayed.
Weng Hong made a cup of coffee for Xu Cun and Bush Jr., and then withdrew, only Xu Cun and Bush Jr. were left in the room, and even Xu Cun's personal bodyguards Tu Weihua, Zhou Lan, Shen Jing, and Su Qiao were not in the room.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no one to protect Xu Cun - at this moment, there are at least ten snipers secretly protecting Xu Cun. Moreover, in just ten seconds, Tu Weihua, Zhou Lan, Shen Jing, and Su Qiao could rush into this room with a large number of bodyguards. This is Xu Cun's home, and for Xu Cun, there is no safer place in the world than here.
George W. Bush picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said, "Tell me, my friend, what is that money-making business you are talking about?" β
Xu Cun smiled and said, "I didn't say it was business. β
George W. Bush said: "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can make money." β
Xu Cun looked at George W. Bush and said, "George, my friend, let me confirm with you one last time, does God allow his followers to make moneyβblack money?" β
George W. Bush met Xu Cun's gaze and said, "My friend, do you know Benjamin Franklin?" β
Xu Cun asked Bush Jr. rhetorically: "Is it the first American in the world that you Americans often say?" β
George W. Bush nodded and said, "Yes, it's the one on a hundred dollars." β
After a pause, George W. Bush added: "I suggest you get to know Benjamin Franklin, and then you won't think that there is a 'black heart' in making money." β
Although he doesn't know what kind of person Benjamin Franklin is, Xu Cun has confirmed that George W. Bush has no resistance to making black money.
Therefore, Xu Cun straightened his body and said: "This year, the US fiscal deficit is as high as more than $200 billion, and the trade deficit is as high as more than $150 billion, both of which have set a record for deficits. It is clear that the United States needs to absorb foreign capital to make up for the shortage of domestic funds, and in order to attract foreign capital, it must maintain a high level of interest rates, which has a direct impact on stock market prices.
Since the beginning of the 80s, the US economy has been in a period of low growth, with insufficient demand for productive investment and a large influx of surplus capital into the securities market, resulting in rampant financial investment and an unprecedented expansion of debt, resulting in a false prosperity that is difficult to last.
The current U.S. economic system is in a very unstable state. β
Bush Jr. frowned and asked Xu Cun: "My friend, what do you want to say?" β
Taking a deep breath, Xu Cun said leisurely: "The stock market crash is coming." β
"Hiss~"
George W. Bush gasped!
After a long time, Bush Jr. stared into Xu Cun's eyes and said, "My dearest friend, this joke you made is not funny at all!" β
Xu Cun met Bush Jr.'s gaze and said: "I will only say this to you alone, and I will not say a word to other people who want to cooperate with me." β
After a pause, Xu Cuncai said: "I can roughly calculate the fluctuations in the financial market. β
"Hahaha......"
Bush Jr. laughed and said, "Xu Cun, my dearest friend, don't make such jokes again!" β
Although Bush Jr. was laughing and speaking as if he didn't believe what Xu Cun said at all, Xu Cun saw in Bush Jr.'s eyes that Bush Jr. didn't smile at all.
Xu Cun picked up his coffee cup and sipped the coffee slowly......
Seeing Xu Cun like this, Bush Jr.'s laughter came to an abrupt end!
After a while, Bush Jr. took a deep breath and slowly relaxed, and then said, "Listen, my friend, you need to come up with more reasons to convince me." β
Putting down the coffee, Xu Cun said leisurely: "George, my friend, if you have to give a reason, I will give you two more, the increase in interest rates makes the interest rates on U.S. Treasury bills and other bonds increase correspondingly, and investors transfer funds from the stock market to invest in bonds, causing the stock price to plummet, the trade deficit is too large, and the dollar exchange rate falls, which shakes people's confidence in the dollar and the U.S. stock market, and will also cause the stock price to plummet." β
George W. Bush asked: "Does this stock market crash have anything to do with the Plaza Accord?" β
Xu Cun said noncommittally: "Yes, no, the Plaza Agreement only prompted this stock market crash to be advanced, and this stock market crash is a product of historical precipitation and is inevitable." β
After digesting what Xu Cun said, Bush Jr. stared at Xu Cun and asked, "Your wealth was earned from the turmoil in the currency market generated by the Plaza Accord?" Did you successfully predict the occurrence of the Plaza Accord? β
After pouring a little milkshake into it and stirring it twice, Xu Cun picked up the coffee and said at the same time: "If other collaborators ask me the same question, I will tell them "yes", but my friend George you ask me this question, I have to tell you the truth." Let's be honest: I've just calculated that the dollar will go up and the yen will fall. As for the Plaza Accord, it was completely God forbid. β
Bush Jr.'s eyes moved--he didn't say he believed Xu Cun, nor did he say he didn't believe Xu Cun. Instead, he looked at Xu Cun's eyes and asked, "What about this stock market crash?" β
Xu Cun said conclusively: "It will definitely happen, and its scale is not far from the US stock market crash in 29 years!" β
"Hiss......"
George W. Bush gasped!
The 29-year U.S. stock market crash was the most influential and harmful economic event in U.S. history, affecting Western countries and even the whole world. The United States and the world entered a decade-long period of economic depression.
Xu Cun even compared this stock market crash with the stock market crash of 29 years, how could George W. Bush not be shocked?
It took a long, long, long time before Bush Jr. asked Xu Cun, "What do you need me to do?" β
Putting down the coffee, Xu Cuncai said: "If we want to make a lot of money, we will face the state power, and you need to help us find some allies who can make us earn this money safely and will not let us bear any responsibility later." β
Bush Jr. frowned and said: "If it is a big stock market crash like the one in '29, it will not be easy to find the people you said, let alone persuade them to become our allies?" β
Xu Cun got up and said, "That's your business, my friend, if you can't do it, I'll cooperate with others to make a little money, after all, safety comes first." β
George W. Bush asked Xu Cun: "With those bankers?" β
Xu Cun did not answer Bush Jr.'s speculation, but walked out the door and said: "You don't have to be too anxious, my friend, we should still have some time, I don't think this stock market crash will happen in half a year." Of course, if there is a special event to stimulate it, it is not necessarily. So, my friend, if you want to make this money, you'd better hurry up and find those allies of ours. β
As soon as the words fell, Xu Cun happened to walk to the door, and then Xu Cun directly opened the door and left.
George W. Bush sat there and looked at the door for a long time......
