Volume XIII, Chapter 31, Gold Reserves

In the face of the sudden high-profile North Hill International Investment Bank, the white financiers of the South African government collectively chose to remain silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info//qb5/

In particular, the Sloan executive also suddenly changed his tune, and tried his best to cooperate with the North Mountain Bank to sell to Mr. President, and the relaxation of foreign exchange restrictions proposed by the North Mountain Bank, and the Sloan executive's almost blind support for the North Mountain Bank, also made many people have to re-examine the close relationship between him and the North Mountain Bank.

Under the persuasion of the Sloan executive, Zu President Ma was finally persuaded to form a temporary leadership team, bypassing the further authorization of the Financial Services Commission by Congress, the North Hill Bank and the Presidential Office Staff Group, and the Ministry of Finance, to deal with the huge appreciation crisis that the South African rand has recently faced.

This move has pushed Speaker Mbet into an even more embarrassing situation, and there are two paths before her, one is to initiate the presidential impeachment bill on the grounds of unconstitutionality, and the other is to choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. In the silence of the South African government and the opposition, Ms. Mbert realized how she had failed as a human being, and that almost no one was on her side except for a limited number of MPs.

Zhao Daxi also felt a little embarrassed for her when she saw this scene, this black aunt usually likes to be full of big truths, and she is full of morality and makes people feel awkward at every turn. Usually, senior government officials still have to keep their voices down because she is the speaker of the parliament, and when she loses the trust of President Zu President Ma at the critical moment, of course, there will not be too many people on her side.

Zhao Daxi talked with the people around him, and vaguely saw Su He's shadow from this speaker lady, who was too good at being a person. Of course, Yang Su gloated, Minister Yang and Speaker Mbet were not at odds for a day or two, and as Madam Speaker gradually lost her right to speak in front of Zu President Ma, Minister Yang of the Ministry of the Interior gradually entered and exited the presidential palace more often. In the face of the dilemma, Ms. Mbet did not take the last wrong step in the end, which is equivalent to reining in the precipice and choosing to remain silent, and wisely choosing to abandon the impeachment of the president.

In this regard, Yang Su could not hide his disappointed expression, and shouted softly: "It's a pity." ”

Zhao Daxi Lei Yongqiang and these people certainly understand what she means, but it is a pity that Madam Speaker did not stick to her principles to the end, otherwise she would have to go into disgrace when she failed to impeach the president, and the South African cabinet after that will show a bunch of green leaves, setting off the good situation of Minister Yang's flowers.

Zhao Daxi laughed at this: "There will be this kind of opportunity in the future, calm down, the biggest shortcoming of you and her is the lack of prestige, prestige has to be cultivated slowly, take your time...... I warn you not to underestimate the ANC and sympathize with the mentality of the widow of President Mandela's Captain of the Guard, this influence is far-reaching, far from being something that you can change as a Chinese. ”

Of course, Yang Su was convinced by him, and obediently taught: "I understand, I listen to you and Yongqiang." ”

Zhao Daxi was still down, but Lei Yongqiang trembled in front of his lover in an instant, and he was a little bit majestic. Lao Lei was in high spirits, and when he saw Zhao Daxi, he had another burst of amusement in his heart, if he wanted to conquer a strong woman like Yang Su, he had to show some real skills, there was no doubt that Lei Yongqiang did it, and he exchanged Yang Su's heart for the man's true skills, and defeated the Duke head-on and became Yang Su's real favorite man.

A month ago, the official attitude of South Africa suddenly came to a 180-degree turn, a month ago it was still sworn to oppose interference in the foreign exchange market, but a month later it suddenly changed its attitude and accepted the very forward-looking professional assessment report of the North Mountain International Investment Bank, on the one hand, it actively legislated to relax foreign exchange controls, and on the other hand, it planned to use foreign exchange reserves to hedge the second round of monetary easing policy that the Federal Reserve was about to implement in advance, so as to alleviate the upward pressure on the South African rand.

The spread of the news has attracted the attention of the international financial industry, and public opinion has given a very high evaluation of the professionalism and morality of the newly established Beishan International Investment Bank. Most of the African media and the neutral financial media in Europe and the United States praised this all-Chinese international investment bank for providing the South African government with the simplest and most effective response to the extremely complex situation, which is worthy of praise.

With the implementation of the policy and the South African government's strong intervention in the foreign exchange market, investors' enthusiasm for the South African rand has gradually faded, and the rand index has miraculously stabilized around New Year's Day, and with the cooling trend of the rand exchange rate, the Rand index launched by the Johannesburg Exchange a year ago has become more and more important.

With the fame and fortune of Beishan Bank, and with Zhao Lei's appearance on the interview program of South African national television, the rand index of the York Stock Exchange has also appeared in the world's major financial media by virtue of its good performance in the rand appreciation crisis, and has been officially promoted to the ranks of financial indices with index value.

On this day, the Yang family celebrated with wine, and the living room was once again full of VIPs.

It was the first time for the Yang family to hold a social reception of this nature, and the servants were inevitably a little in a hurry, and the dishes were not rich, but it did not affect the interest of the VIPs. The leading group for the currency crisis, which is directly responsible to the president, was almost all present, and it was inevitable that they would drink foreign wine and talk about business, and a group of financiers chatted about it, and within a week, about $200 billion in international hot money gradually flowed out of the South African foreign exchange market.

As an important member of the leading group, Lei Yongqiang is of course full of confidence: "Gentlemen, I can now proudly announce that we have just won a currency war. ”

When Zhao Daxi heard that he was almost spraying wine, there was already warm applause around him, and the voice of complimenting Mr. Lei was also instantly warm. If it weren't for the old Henry exerting influence in the Federal Reserve and letting the Federal Reserve delay the implementation of a large-scale monetary and credit policy totaling up to $600 billion for a week, the rand exchange rate would have been out of control long ago, and what kind of currency war would there be to talk about.

The reality is so delicate that the Fed doesn't want to bring down the rand exchange rate, so it has opened its door, and Fed executives are willing to see the rand exchange rate remain at a high level rather than completely collapse the South African economy. It can be seen that communication is very important, and the black government of South Africa has avoided a tragedy of the rand exchange rate out of control through the Nord Hill Bank, which in turn has a relatively smooth communication channel between the top management of the Venn Council and the Federal Reserve.

At the dinner scene, in the midst of the discussion, Executive Sloan smiled lightly and said, "Madam, why haven't you seen the Duke?" ”

Yang Su, who was asked, naturally replied easily: "Lord Duke has been in poor health recently and has been recuperating on the farm. ”

The Sloan executive and his colleagues collectively let out a good-natured laugh and asked a few more questions with concern, and those who were interested heard the good-natured laughter of these financiers with a little ridicule. Of course, Zhao Daxi knew why these shrewd financiers would laugh at the Duke so intentionally or unintentionally.

Taking stock of the gains and losses of Beishan Bank's fame and fortune, Sloan executives and their white colleagues have also made a lot of money in the gold futures and non-ferrous metal futures market, and for the Federal Reserve, which has a large amount of gold reserves, it is of course happy to see the international gold price rise. Shrewd people like Beishan Bank and the Federal Reserve took the opportunity to stock a large amount of gold futures, and a short-sighted fool like Duke Levante couldn't wait to empty all the gold inventories of its five major mining groups a week ago when the international gold price had just shown signs of falling.

The amount of gold in Levante's inventory was 100 times more than Zhao Daxi's prediction, and a full 200 tons of gold were put into the international market at one time, causing the international gold price to fall sharply at the same time, but also allowing Beishan Bank and the Federal Reserve to happily divide this batch of gold at the same time, with the first gold reserves since its establishment. Zhao Lei and the two discussed afterwards, but they couldn't blame the Duke for being stupid, even if he told him that the gold market would show a one-sided upward trend in the next ten years, the conceited Duke would never believe it.

So the foolish act of the Duke who missed the opportunity to make a fortune was naturally a little ridiculous in the eyes of experts like the Sloan executives. During the dinner, Mr. Henry finally arrived, and his companions brought with him several distinguished guests and several executives of the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. The vice chairman of the Federal Reserve gave him a shrewd look, and Zhao Daxi greeted him willingly, and greeted the Brazilian guests from afar for a while.

After a burst of excitement, the Brazilian guests were invited into their seats, Lei Yongqiang leaned over and muttered with a smile: "Business has come to the door, brother, the signboard of Beishan Bank is loud enough." ”

Zhao Daxi nodded with a smile on his face, of course, he knew what was going on, and the professional performance of Beishan Bank in dealing with the rand appreciation crisis impressed the Brazilian government, which was also in the midst of a currency appreciation crisis. So much so that the Brazilian authorities took great pains to find the door through the old Henry.

The two glanced at each other without smiling, and Lei Yongqiang smiled a little dryly: "If this foot is stepped on from South Africa to South America, I will be a little weak-hearted." ”

Zhao Daxi greeted the guests while whispering in Chinese that others could not understand: "What is the weakness of the heart, you can't do it?" ”

Lei Yongqiang chuckled again, of course full of anger: "If I can't handle a small Brazilian real, then my dignified financial secretary of the State Council will be in vain." ”

Zhao Daxi admired his professional conceit the most, patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, praised him twice, and then went to eat with the guests together.

At the end of January 2008, the northern military base on the northern border of South Africa.

Nearly 1,000 heavily armed South African military and police officers slowly drove into the depths of the military base, a 15-meter-deep underground bunker used to defend against a nuclear attack. The underground bunker has been transformed into a massive vault for the multibillion-dollar gold reserves of the North Mountain Bank. For this reason, the Bank of North Hill had to pay the South African government millions of rand a year in terms of lease and security costs, and at the same time the absolute safety of the gold in stock.
