Since encountering a thrilling attack, Tang Bao also suddenly realized that Simoko's determination to try to kidnap him was unusually strong, and in order to ensure safety, Tang Bao became extremely cautious when he went out. Every time he left the villa, Ilya and other personal bodyguards and six police officers such as Mark and Theresa carried out strict security arrangements in advance, except for acquaintances, it was difficult to get close to Tang Bao.

But.

This kind of strict protection ensures that Tang Bao's safety is not a problem at all, but it greatly restricts Tang Bao's private activity space, even if he can endure loneliness, but it is not a long-term solution after all, and one day he will be tired of this kind of prison-like life.

Simocco...... It's Simocco who bothers me with all this! Hey, I didn't expect that the biggest trouble I encountered after I came back from rebirth was actually a bastard who couldn't see the light. You're a very difficult old thug who is even a headache for the government, but you shouldn't mess with me. Kelly says you're an old bastard who loves money, but I'm curious to know which one would you choose when money and life could only be chosen? Under strict protection, Tang Bao, who returned to the villa safely, sat quietly in the living room and thought secretly.

Let's be honest.

At this moment, Simocco is a thorn in Tang Bao's heart, if this thorn is not removed, Tang Bao may be stabbed by it at any time, even if it cannot pose a substantial threat to it, it will be disgusted. Tang Bao naturally would not sit idly by and watch this threat continue, he was just waiting, waiting for Ilya's "answer".

The Hey-Hand Party is strong, but the Hey-Hand Party is not monolithic, even fragmented and infighting, and Simoco is only a member of the Italian Hey-Hand Party, but he cannot represent the entire Hey-Hand Party. Therefore, even if Ilya can't hand over the "answer sheet" that satisfies him, Tang Bao has countless means to deal with Simoko.

Right now.

Tang Bao didn't respond, and left it all to Ilya and the others to solve, because he still had patience. If his patience wore off, that would be the beginning of Simocco's tragedy.

……

"Boss, your tea!" Kate came over with a cup of tea and said.

Kate's words broke the silence and disrupted Tang Bao's thoughts. However, he was not annoyed, dealing with Simocco's threat, he already had a draft in his heart, and he would not lose his rules because of a moment of confusion.

Well.

Taking the teacup, Tang Bao took a sip of it, and after a little feeling, he realized that it didn't taste right. Looking at the tea leaves that had obviously been stirred at the bottom of the cup, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, secretly thinking that Kate used making tea as instant coffee. Alas, the best West Lake Longjing has been ruined in vain. However, it is no wonder that Kate, who is a Westerner, obviously ignorant of Chinese tea art.

Peacetime.

Tang Bao usually drinks tea, and of course, occasionally drinks coffee for entertainment.

"What's wrong. Boss? Kate saw Tang Bao suddenly smile bitterly, and was immediately puzzled.

"It's fine. Kate, I'll do it myself in the future. Tang Bao smiled lightly, although he was not very proficient in tea art. But at least some of the tea-making skills are still understood. He didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, so he changed the subject and asked, "Oh. By the way, didn't you say before that you would hire a team of housekeepers to take care of the villa, why hasn't there been any movement? ”

The villa is so big. Cleaning is also a very large project, and it is also very troublesome to ask a housekeeping service company to take care of it every time.

"Well, I've got a commission to look for, but so many things have happened lately, and Ilya and Theresa have said that it is not appropriate to let strangers approach the villa until the trouble is completely resolved. A top-notch team of professional housekeepers, including housekeepers, cooks, gardeners, nannies, maids, and possibly even bodyguards, doctors, etc., is huge. Such a group of strangers entering the villa may bring unknown hidden dangers. So, this matter was put on hold. Kate explained.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded in agreement, this is indeed the truth, even if Kate can investigate the background identity of the housekeeper team members in advance, there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof. Now, his villa is considered the safest place, and if he hires a large and unknown team of butlers at this time, it will undoubtedly tear a crack in the original iron bucket-like security defense. If some Hey-Hand Party elements take the opportunity to sneak in, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Boss, are you in a hurry about this?" Kate Road.

"Oh. No, just ask. Well, there's ...... By the way, help me hire a professional tea master! Tang Bao reminded.

Now.

Tang Bao's worth and wealth will not be squandered even if he is ten lifetimes, and it is understandable that he will start to enjoy a high-quality life.

"Uh...... I see, boss. Kate replied helplessly, she finally understood why Tang Bao smiled bitterly just now, it turned out that she was not satisfied with the tea she made.

In fact.

This is the first time she has made tea, and before, Tang Bao did it herself when she drank tea. This time, when I saw Tang Bao go home, I sat in the living room in a daze, thinking that I was tired, so I volunteered to make a cup of tea by myself, thinking that it was no different from making coffee, but Tang Bao's reaction obviously told her that it was wrong, and the difference between making tea and making coffee was big.

……

It was just after noon.

Mrs. Annette came to the villa, and she also knew that Tang Bao was in trouble and should not go out, so she could only rush over in person to discuss things.

"Lady Annette!"

"Hey, Don, I see you're in good shape." Mrs. Annette smiled in surprise. She has a special news channel in the US government department, and she also knows that Tang Bao is being targeted by the Italian Hey-Hand Party, and if she is replaced by another ordinary person, even if she knows that she is in the process of arranging protection, she will have trouble sleeping.

"It's fine." Tang Bao smiled lightly.

Then.

Tang Bao invited Mrs. Annette to take a seat and asked casually, "Mrs. Annette, what is the matter with you coming here in person this time?" ”

"Nothing special, just to inform you that the funds of the members of the Ink Fund have all been paid. That's about $273 million! ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded in response and did not answer. He knew that Mrs. Annette might have something to say, if it was just to inform the funds that they were in place, they could have been contacted by phone, and there was no need to come and explain in person.

Then.

Things did not go out of Tang Bao's expectations, and Lady Annette cautiously reminded, "Don, as far as I know. Adelson's Centex company isn't in great shape. ”

"Well, the real estate industry in the United States is in trouble, and Centex is one of the largest real estate companies in the United States, and it is normal for the performance to be unsatisfactory. However, since Adelson didn't mention it, he thought he could handle the troubles himself...... Could it be that Adelson asked for help through Lady Annette? Tang Bao asked in surprise. The members of the Moke Fund are all in Tang Bao's inner circle, and if anyone is in trouble, Tang Bao will provide rescue.

"Not really. Adelson is the most financially powerful in the Moke Fund besides you. also attaches great importance to face, how can it be easy to ask for help. Besides, Centex is one of the four old real estate giants in the United States after all, and it doesn't mean that it will collapse, and it has not reached the level of rescue. If he really came to that point, Adelson wouldn't hold on. Mrs. Annette said, "I came to mention Edson's story because I learned that the $200 million invested by Edson was raised by mortgaging his mansion, yacht and other assets. If this investment does not pay off, Adelson could go bankrupt. In other words, Adelson has put all the treasure on you. ”

"Collateral Assets...... How difficult is Adson's personal finances? Tang Bao was surprised.

But.

If you think about it carefully, you will immediately understand. Adelson's main assets are allocated to the real estate industry, and now that the real estate bubble in the United States has burst, home sales have plummeted, and it is infinitely more difficult to withdraw funds. It's really hard for Adelson to come up with $200 million in one go.

"It's rare for Adelson to trust me so much. I'm sure I won't disappoint him. I have been planning this investment operation plan for a long time, and it will be foolproof. Tang Bao assured with a smile.

To Adelson this man. Tang Bao really didn't say anything. At the beginning, he followed Tang Bao to absorb a large amount of shares of BP oil company in the United Kingdom, and now he is facing a large book loss, but he has never complained about it, and he has not even mentioned it. Still holding those stocks firmly and not selling.

"Well, that's good, I think if Adelson sees your confidence, maybe he will be more settled. But, Don, the level of secrecy of your plan this time is really tight. Lady Annette didn't ask, but was full of curiosity.

"The scale of the funds mobilized this time is huge, and it takes a lot of effort, and if it is not kept secret, it may not be so easy to arrange."

Tang Bao then said, "In fact, the goal this time is to short the Japanese stock market. This time, since Mrs. Annette mentioned it alone, she was a private economic consultant, and Tang Bao did not hide it anymore.

"Short the Japanese stock market?"

Mrs. Annette was surprised, she thought that Tang Bao would still act in the American capital market, but she did not expect that her eyes would suddenly shift to Japan.

Right now.

Everyone knows very well that there is a bubble in the Japanese stock market, and the American media and financial institutions will also speculate about the imminent collapse of the Japanese stock market from time to time, but every time the "stock market collapse theory" is ruthlessly shattered by the Nikkei index, which has reached a new high.

was slapped in the face, and Japan was triumphant, even predicting that the Nikkei index would exceed 40,000 points by the end of this year or early next year.

"Don, we all know that there is a bubble in the Japanese stock market, but no one can predict when the bubble will burst. In the past, many fund companies that shorted the Japanese stock market in a high-profile manner suffered heavy losses and ended up in disgrace...... At present, the development of Japan's stock market has deviated somewhat from the normal economic laws. Just when you think their stock market is going to plummet at this point, it's an unexpectedly crazy surge! Lady Annette reminded with a frown.

"Hmm. I understand that timing is very important when shorting the Japanese stock market. Tang Bao smiled and nodded. If you enter the market early, you will be against the market, and there will be no place to die; If you enter late, you will miss the opportunity, and if you are lucky, you may drink some leftovers. However, what Tang Bao, who opened the rebirth plug-in, is not afraid of timing control.

There was a moment of silence.

"As I have investigated, the Bank of Japan raised the interest rate by 75 basis points to 3.25% in May, which has not changed for two years, and strictly controlled the real estate loans of commercial banks, which means that they are also aware that there is a serious bubble in the Japanese economy." Moreover, the recent strong yen has also shown a downward trend, which is related to the large amount of international capital that has withdrawn from Japan to sell yen and buy dollars. There are signs that something is wrong with Japan's economy......"

But these measures did not curb the crazy Japanese stock market! Even the Nikkei is speeding up and striding towards their goal of a dead late! Mrs. Annette emphasized.

on this.

Tang Bao also admitted that this was true.

"It depends on whether the Japanese government can endure the pain of high inflation, if they want to control inflation, raising interest rates again is an inevitable means, and once the bank rate rises to a certain height and touches the nerves of investors, the stock market collapse is only a blink of an eye." Tang Bao smiled lightly.

"You say the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates?" Mrs. Annette asked, confused.

"Hmm. If nothing else, interest rates will continue to be raised. It is useless and limited for others to talk about the Japanese economy, but the rapid turn of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy can directly puncture this bubble. Tang Bao said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Mrs. Annette also fell silent, and after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed very reasonable, and the monetary policy of the Bank of Japan does have a huge impact.

But.

They want to get this joint, so the Japanese financial experts don't know, will they go to puncture the economic bubble by reducing inflation?

"Well, Don, as reasonable as your analysis is, I think it's still very risky. It is impossible for the Bank of Japan to destroy the country's economy by controlling inflation, even if they know better than anyone that there is a bubble in the Japanese economy, it can be resolved slowly......," said Mrs. Annette.

"The Bank of Japan's surprise and large interest rate hike is a very clear signal that the Japanese government is no longer able to withstand inflationary pressures. Once the effect of this rate hike is difficult to achieve the expected target, it will only continue to raise interest rates, and it is impossible to sit idly by...... Now, I am quietly waiting for Japan to continue raising interest rates, and the arrival of the news is a signal for me to start my plan, and of course the beginning of the destruction of the Japanese stock market. Tang Bao said.

Slowly reducing inflationary pressures? I'm afraid the government doesn't have so much time to wait.

……

See here.

Mrs. Annette did not try to persuade her that if the Bank of Japan cut interest rates again, it would have an incalculable impact on the Japanese stock market. And Tang Bao is also a person who is good at creating miracles, "Stock God Tang" and "Legend Tang" are not shouted casually. Before, Tang Bao shorted gold futures against the market, and people, including her, were not optimistic about Tang Bao, but the final result proved that the "stubborn" Tang Bao was right, and he made a lot of money for investors. Countless investors have reaped a lot because of Tang Bao's persistence!

This.

Mrs. Annette is also full of anticipation...... (To be continued......)
