This method will be thought of by An Feng.

But it worked well, and Fred woke up the next day with a Christmas present from his mother's stockings, and the larger the puzzle area, the more it tested his intelligence and patience. And for the little genius, it was just a game with a little more thought, and he was completed five days later, much to the praise of the adults.

After Christmas, the family left for England.

In addition to vacation, An Feng also has something to talk to Bazel, the relationship of this plan is too complicated, and after discussing it with Joanna in private, he can't figure it out, so he needs to explain a thing or two to Bazel, who is familiar with the overall situation, they live quite close, and they are all in the southwest of London.

The outcome of the discussions remains complex.

This involves dozens of investment companies, fund management companies, foundations, banks and other industries, and even across to the real economy, will also play a role, such as Bida, if it stops supplying a certain country, it will cause inventory prices to rise and capital outflows.

Bazel is not a finance professional, anyway, they are going to do a financial operation that will make the giant cold.

An Feng didn't care, he followed everyone, and he was prosperous.

Rest in the villa at the beginning of the month.

In the afternoon, they encountered a rare sunny weather in London, they leaned on the wooden deck chairs in the courtyard, covered with a blanket, leisurely basking in the sun, the machine people gave them snacks and drinks, the two children were playing on the swings, Alice pushed Fred, and laughed constantly.

An Feng flipped through the "Glamour" magazine in his hand: "The ranking of the best dressed people of the year has come out." ”

"Let me see." Joanna reached out.

Every year the magazine likes to do rankings, because of the good influence, the rankings are also paid attention to by many people, this year Joanna still maintains the third place, she does not appear much, but there is a stunning table in the equestrian event in June. The styling is favored.

Joanna was naturally happy, but frowned again.

"What's wrong?" An Feng looked at her.

She complained a little and said: "There are always young girls in their twenties in front of me, do you think I can't keep up with the times?" ”

"Huh?" An Feng was surprised, he was ranked third, such a high ranking, can it still have anything to do with not keeping up with the times?

She saw that An Feng didn't speak. Just say, "What do you think?" ”

"How is that possible!" An Feng shook his head resolutely, "You look like you are twenty-six or seventeen years old, I'm sure you don't have many appearances, next year you will appear in front of the camera, follow me to participate in the Hollywood party, walk on the red carpet, and promise to win the first place next year." ”

Although I know that I am not young anymore, I am still in a very good mood when I hear the compliment. She took out the small mirror in her bag and looked at it, her face really couldn't tell her age, and her long-term drinking of top biological drinks had frozen her appearance, only her own temperament was changing.

Seeing her smiling in the mirror, An Feng also smiled, this psychological level is still very easy to pass.

……

Since January, the world economy has been surging undercurrents.

After An Feng returned to California. We also continued to pay attention to it and strengthened communication with the members of the consortium. This is not a small investment. If things are big, he may personally have to invest hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more, it is the wealth of a rich country, not a pile of waste paper.

January was a quiet month, with the US dollar rising slightly. Gold continues to fall, gold prices have risen and fallen in recent years, and generally down, so investors have different opinions, but the consumption of gold in Asia is very high. Aunts always feel that holding gold is better than any other currency.

Since February, the situation has changed, and the debt of several developed countries in Europe is being depleted, and there is a ostensibly booming trend, whether it is the euro or the stock market, this change has attracted investors large and small, and the contrast is the uncertainty of the dollar.

An Feng knows that the consortium is already doing it, and they are betting on the future in Europe and North America, the difference is that they are long on the one hand (think it is up), and short on the other side (think it is down). Some of the previous cases are different, and they have done it in many ways. The dollar's decline is already beginning to show.

In March, the U.S. Congress deliberated a draft on the gray areas of offshore accounts and offshore financial practices of multinational companies, and the rules also required major companies to keep accounting records, which was opposed by some lawmakers, especially the Republican side.

On the contrary, the public supported the move.

Because the public relations methods in the early stage were done well, newspapers and media were intentionally or unintentionally promoting the gray methods of these large enterprises, so as to accumulate funds and tax avoidance methods. It is even more bold for the media to mention the inside story of offshore company accounts being secretly held by Americans, which is another move by the US government to lift the financial fig leaf after forcing the Swiss government to publish the number of UBS accounts of Americans.

But soon, under pressure, the media outlet deleted the report.

An Feng began to feel that the hidden life of being a rich man was about to leave, but not too soon, even if the bill was passed, it would be the first to investigate multinational companies, and then it would be the turn of private gray means - this still needs the consent of the offshore financial district, and it will not take six or seven years to do it.

This time, the Democratic Party is very resolute in the attitude of this bill, as if in response to this matter, the dollar began to fall, and the behavior of certain groups to buy gold in large quantities is also driving the rise of gold prices, the balance has changed, and brick rhetoric has begun to appear on the Internet.

The fall of the dollar is not a good thing, and the Americans have a large amount of gold reserves in order to prevent this, which may be just a drop in the bucket for the big powers, but the hegemony of the dollar is based on many aspects, such as the military power of the United States, the power of science and technology, and even social influence.

There is a joke that once the United States runs out of money, it will drive its aircraft carrier fleet around the gates of other countries a few times to ensure that they will buy US bonds in a hurry.

Things are not so strict now, because the consortium has only taken the first step, and the subsequent rounds of bombardment have not yet come.

That's when the situation changed dramatically.

An investment company on Wall Street was visited by the Justice Department one day in early April for unknown reasons. The next day, three foreign-invested companies were investigated, and the Justice Department required their hedge funds to keep records of dollar-related transactions to investigate whether they were suspected of colluding to short the dollar.

The basis for judging whether or not a short seller is illegal is very vague, and it is generally an investigation into whether the executive has negotiated a specific price. Collusion to trade. The easiest evidence to be caught is the party, where several financial tycoons chatted at a dinner party and made a secret agreement, but were caught by the spies and convicted.

When An Feng first learned the bad news from Matthew's mouth, the worse came. Matthew answered the phone and then said to him, "Several executives of the RAND Investment Bank have been arrested." ”

"What's going on?" An Feng frowned.

The RAND Investment Bank was the target of the consortium and a giant of Wall Street, but it was suddenly visited by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice and the FBI, and several of its executives were invited away, including Johnny, a well-known investment genius on Wall Street. .

Matthew explained on the phone: "I don't know what happened, but we can only say sorry. ”

An Feng knew that it was not safe on the phone, so he didn't say much: "God bless them." ”

The specific reason is still the suspected joint short selling. This time their opponents came prepared, and when the Texas consortium started to move, they attacked. The next day, the Wall Street Journal began to report on the incident, focusing on the joint shorting of the dollar by domestic investment companies and foreign companies.

According to the newspaper, senior figures from the Justice Department, who control at least several heavyweight funds, attended a private dinner in Manhattan in March, headed by financial tycoon Johnny Brown. reached an agreement with them, which also included a combination of illegal shorting of the Canadian dollar and long the Japanese yen.

As soon as the report came out, the financial community was in an uproar.

To say that's fame is not small. Billionaire, the celebrity of the RAND Investment Bank. Many of the decisions he made had an impact on other industries and were a bellwether for some to judge...... In general, he is the boss, and the Ministry of Justice has now invited this boss away for investigation, and a sensation is inevitable.

If they maliciously short the euro, it's the pound. It's no surprise -- Americans have always been.

But conversely, it is rare to collude to short the dollar.

, who was invited to house arrest for investigation, was also very straightforward in the face of interrogation, asking what to say, and surprisingly cooperative.

The next day, the dollar's decline stabilized. Everyone thinks that the financial predator is under investigation, and the illegal short-selling case should be over, but if they look at's calm look when he is investigated, they will know that things will not be simple. Wall Street peers know that is just a spokesperson.

Standing behind the investment bank is the capitalist Robin. Dross, who is currently using GP's quantum communication technology, is talking to the real people behind the scenes through the impossible means of communication that are impossible to decipher. Although the RAND Investment Bank was investigated, the Department of Justice did not decide to move Dross.

This guy is too heavy, he is a member of the Texas consortium, and behind him are several industry tycoons, and some things have not yet been torn in the face, just like two countries can fight a war of words, but it will definitely not immediately develop into a nuclear war, the truth here is the same.

An Feng got a decision from Matthew: "Give up the RAND Investment Bank." ”

That is, the spokesperson is completely sacrificed, but the consortium will treat things related to him kindly. At present, the opponent is moving too fast, and the bombshell of the consortium has not yet been dropped, and the opponent is using the machine to strafe. The guide zhì consortium, a giant that is ready to go, is a little hesitant to settle down.

This incident did not hurt the overall plan, the consortium is multi-faceted, the main body is in Europe, the dollar, the Canadian dollar and the yen are extraordinarily fast.

Influencing the dollar is only an inevitable side effect - Johnny. He thought that the boss of the company was going to take advantage of the situation to short the dollar and make tens of billions of dollars, who would have thought that the consortium had accumulated trillions of funds and laid more than one line.

These series of actions are just appetizers, and the main event is still to come.

……

On the U.S. side, the president answered a call from former President Anderson, who brought some advice: "You must know that there is no absolute victory, and if it continues to develop, it will only lose both, and it will even evolve into a kind of mess that cannot be managed." ”

"Mr. Anderson, are you reminding me?" said the current president.

"I'm just offering a proposal as an outsider, and you should know how muddy the water is in here."

"I'll consider your build."

The current president didn't hear what Anderson said, and thought it was about those bills, although the impact was widespread, many lawmakers were opposed, and even the former president came out to speak, but if these vampires could be made to bleed, the risk might be more successful.

Anderson listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled wryly. He has done his best, and this step he has taken is the maximum that the Texas consortium can tolerate, and he knows how powerful they are, because he has seen them grow stronger in the past ten years, and if it is a showdown in the United States, maybe the government has a chance to win.

But these guys have roots all over the world. (To be continued......)
