Back in Las Vegas, Liu Wei rested for two days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since he was going to Rogers' banquet, he naturally had to get to know this person better. There is no need for Liu Wei to worry about it, Zhou Fen has already prepared Rogers's personal information for him.

As a Yale alumnus, Rogers had been a member of the Skull Party before he left campus.

Of course, the members of the Skull Party will not disclose their identities or even acknowledge the existence of the "Skull Party".

After graduating from the University of Oxford, Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund with Soros, and became a celebrity in the international financial investment community. Ten years later, because of different investment philosophies, Rogers and Soros parted ways to teach at Columbia University.

Four years later, Rogers ventured into the Austrian stock market, and a year later he made a huge return of 145 percent and started his own business. After another four years, Rogers began to short the stock market and made huge gains. At the same time as shorting the stock market, Rogers began to short the US stock market, which was also very profitable.

The most famous of this series of investments is the purchase of shares in Lockheed Aviation.

At that time, Lockheed was doing poorly, its profits had plummeted, and it was even rumored to be bankrupt, and the stock price had fallen to two dollars. Rogers did not follow suit, believing that the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union would intensify and that the US political axe would certainly vigorously support Lockheed, which was on the verge of collapse, and thus buy Lockheed shares in a big way when other investors sold off their shares. Subsequently, Lockheed received huge financial assistance from the United States, won several military orders one after another, and its stock soared from $2 to $140.

This investment made Rogers make a lot of money.

After the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the late 90s, Rogers created the "Rogers International Commodity Index", which rose 12 percent five years later, far exceeding the gains of other indices over the same period. Subsequently, Rogers invested in the B-share market of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which was another great success.

Since then, Rogers has focused his investments on the mainland financial market.

During this time, Rogers shouted the famous phrase: the nineteenth century belongs to England, the twentieth century belongs to the United States, and the twenty-first century belongs to China.

Whether this statement is true or not, Rogers does know the continent well.

However, it does not mean that Rogers is a pro-China person.

As a member of the Skull Party, Rogers has a deep understanding of the continent and is only getting acquainted with future rivals, not helping them suppress the United States.

Because he has lived in the mainland for several years, Rogers is one of the few Chinese experts in the Skull and Bones Party.

It couldn't be more appropriate for him to come forward to contact Liu Wei.

Two days in advance, Liu Wei left Las Vegas and went to New York first.

Since Liu Xiuhui believes that the experimental base of the "Future Soldier" is in New York, and it is very likely to be on the island of Manhattan, it is necessary to go and have a look.

Liu Wei didn't have much feeling about the city, after all, this was the second time he came to New York, and he didn't stay long.

During this time, he meets little Capuya, who has become the boss.

This guy does have a bit of investment talent, and he has done a lot with the dividends given by Liu Wei, and he has made more than ten percent of the profit in more than two months, which is considered a little famous.

Liu Wei came to him mainly to consult some investment matters.

It's not that Liu Wei has the money to invest, the cost of the transformation of the FOS legion has not yet been settled, and the money earned is bleached through the casino and then transferred out. It's just that if he wants to meet Rogers, Liu Wei must know something about investment, otherwise it will be embarrassing to not be able to say anything later.

It's just that Liu Wei's worries are purely superfluous.

After seeing little Capua, he went to Alabama with Kotone Takeuchi.

Because it was a private party, the scene was not very big. Rogers only invited five people, except for Liu Wei, the other four were American celebrities, but Liu Wei didn't know him.

There is nothing strange about it, Liu Wei does not know many celebrities.

Dinner was light and not expensive. The five people who came here were not here for that dinner.

After a full meal, the six went to the smoking room.

Initially, the topic revolved around the current international financial situation, especially the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, commodity prices and the development potential of emerging economies. On the issue of Vale's development of rare earth resources, Rogers and the other five people discussed for half an hour, and they seemed to be very optimistic.

Liu Wei basically has no right to speak, he doesn't understand financial investment, and he doesn't plan to touch these things.

As Rogers brought up the topic of the stock market, the discussion shifted to current international realities, especially the impact of the new cabinet.

"Mr. Liu, you are from Hong Kong, you should know more about the book, right?" Rogers threw the topic to Liu Wei.

"I know a little bit, but I don't know too much."

"Definitely know a lot more than we do." Rogers smiled and said, "In your opinion, what are the effects of the various policies of the new cabinet?" ”

The other four people also stared at Liu Wei, all wanting to hear his opinion.

"My personal opinion?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "If it's just my personal opinion, the current situation is not optimistic at all. ”

"Why?" Humphrey, who sat at the head of Rogers' left, asked.

This guy is the head of the investment department of Goldman Sachs, although he is not very famous outside, but he is responsible for most of Goldman Sachs' investment activities, and he is definitely a big man in the financial investment world.

"Because I'm Chinese." Liu Wei replied very briskly, "Although I have not experienced that war, all Chinese will not forget that period of history, and I believe that Americans will not be so forgetful." Of course, none of this has anything to do with business, and I won't be affected by it. ”

"Mr. Liu, you're right." Rogers smiled and said, "Although business is business, a businessman who is not patriotic is definitely not a good businessman. ”

"We also want to know what Mr. Liu thinks about the current version." This time it was Kiplin who spoke.

He was an assistant to the chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Investment Bank, specializing in investment matters, and like Humphrey, he rarely made a public appearance, but he had a lot of influence.

"The current book is very reminiscent of the one before the war." Liu Wei's wording was very cautious, "Although Ikawa Kojiro has not yet gone to extremes, if this trend continues, he will soon lose control and have a serious impact on the Western Pacific region and even the whole world." ”

"I'm afraid this is Mr. Liu's one-sided words, right?" Appearing a little disdainful was Brewster.

Of the four big shots, Brewster is the only one who has worked for the political axe. Prior to his role as an investment advisor to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Investment Bank, he was an economic policy advisor to the former president.

"That's my personal opinion." Liu Wei didn't get angry, and there was no need to get angry with a guy he didn't know.

"Mr. Liu, if this capital develops and grows, it will definitely not only affect Hong Kong." Rogers shifted the subject.

"Of course, the whole of East Asia and the Western Pacific will be affected, and the United States will be affected, because America's allies will be affected." Liu Wei smiled and said, "After Ikawa Kojiro visited New Delhi, the strongest reaction was not from the mainland, but from South Korea. The reason for this is well known to you. Of course, I don't care about Korea because I don't have business dealings with Korea. ”

"What about Taiwan?" The last to speak was Richardson.

Of the four, Richardson is probably the most famous, but the worst, because he is the investment director of Citibank, but he has nothing to be proud of.

Liu Wei smiled and said, "I don't have any dealings with Taiwan, but as a Chinese, I naturally care." ”

"In this way, Mr. Liu believes that it is very necessary for the United States to strengthen military assistance to Taiwan."

"Mr. Rogers, this is not a topic we can discuss."

Rogers smiled and said, "We're just talking about it privately, and there's no law that prohibits us from discussing these 'sensitive' topics. ”

"In any case, the United States should not abandon Taiwan, at least not yet." Liu Wei was no longer verbose and said, "Although for decades, it has been the main ally of the United States in the Western Pacific region and the strategic frontier of the Western bloc led by the United States, under the leadership of Ikawa Kojiro, no one knows where it will go." In another 20 years, perhaps only 10 years, Ben will have enough military strength to no longer need the security guarantees provided by the United States. As for whether Ben will become an adversary of the United States because of this, I will not make any comment. Crucially, a script that no longer obeys US command will inevitably undermine the strategic balance in the Western Pacific. ”

"The result?"

"It depends on how fast and far Ben goes." Liu Wei paused for a moment and then said, "Stimulated by this, the mainland will inevitably greatly accelerate the pace of military construction, and the mainland has already made major breakthroughs in many fields. I am afraid that the mainland will gain an advantage before the foundation is achieved, and it will not be Taiwan that will bear the brunt. With sufficient military strength, the mainland is likely to act decisively. ”

"You're saying that the mainland will use force?"

"Facing several opponents at the same time, the mainland will have no choice. In order to concentrate its efforts on meeting the challenge, the mainland will certainly take action at the appropriate time. ”

"That's not a good thing for the United States."

"There is no doubt that a great power that has completed territorial unification will be the greatest threat to the United States. For decades, the United States has been obstructing cross-strait reunification with the aim of containing the mainland and preventing it from gaining a chance to rise. If Taiwan is lost after the Japanese term, it will be difficult for the United States to gain a foothold in the western Pacific. ”

"Mr. Liu, you're Taiwanese, right?"

"No, of course not, I'm from Hong Kong, but I have a lot of friends from Taiwan."

Rogers smiled and said, "According to Mr. Liu's intentions, the United States should help Taiwan improve its military strength and continue to maintain the strategic balance between the two sides of the strait." ”

"Is there any other way?"

Rogers nodded thoughtfully, and the other four didn't ask any more questions.

After making his position clear, Liu Wei did not express his views again. These five guys are all smart, and those words at the beginning were enough for them to see Liu Wei's position.

If you add to it, it will be counterproductive.
