Chapter 207: Returning to Russia

Forex trading does not have a centralized location, but is traded through a network of banks, businesses. But there are still a few major trading hubs around the world, such as London, New York, Tokyo, and Frankfurt, where the scale of transactions is much larger than elsewhere.

Both Chen Mo and Berezovsky are willing to place their transactions in London because they also have a lot of transactions in the London oil futures market, which can facilitate their movements.

Since the currency of each country is guaranteed by the credibility of the country, the credit of this market is more trustworthy than that of the physical futures market, and there will be no default. However, the role that personal funds can play in this market is quite limited, so it is difficult for one person to control the market.

Moreover, each country can not only directly affect its own exchange rate, but also withdraw the right to trade through market means, at this time, even speculators can do nothing about this market.

For example, in 97, Soros operated the Thai baht, and at the beginning, the Bank of Thailand used its foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the exchange rate, which made Soros lose $300 million and returned home. But then their foreign exchange reserves ran out, and Soros was followed by hundreds of billions of dollars in funds, which completely collapsed their exchange rate and evaporated countless wealth.

But where is the source of their profits? It is tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves in the hands of the Thai government, and only a small part of this money has been plundered away by them, and most of it has been saved by the Thai government to save the real economy. Therefore, at that time, although Southeast Asian countries suffered countless losses, Soros did not really make much profit.

Finally, as for Hong Kong, due to Hong Kong's sufficient foreign exchange reserves and the financial support of the mainland, Soros not only did not make money, but also lost $800 million. But the Hong Kong government didn't make the $800 million. Because they have evaporated huge wealth in this struggle, it is a lose-lose situation.

After signing a cooperation agreement with Berezovsky in the presence of a lawyer, Chen Mo said that the target of this investment, the pound against the dollar. Since they are betting on the depreciation of the pound, their means of operation is to establish foreign exchange futures contracts, borrow pounds, and lend dollars.

Now the pound is expensive, after borrowing, and after a few months the pound exchange rate falls, I now borrow a billion. At that time, although it will still be one billion, the cost of buying it may only be 800 million.

The same is true for the US dollar, although the exchange rate change of these two currencies is not large, but through the operation of foreign exchange leverage, the leverage can be adjusted to 400 times, and 20 million can do business of 8 billion US dollars.

Now one pound can be exchanged for 1.52 dollars, and in a few months, one pound can be exchanged for 1.37 dollars. In the middle of this there is a 10 percent profit, and 10 percent multiplied by 400 times, that's a 40 times profit.

Of course, this leverage can be adjusted even higher. The highest even reached a thousandfold. But at the same time, the required security deposit will also be much higher, so most people will not adopt such a high percentage, because you simply cannot afford to pay the security deposit. Even if you can afford it. Who will come directly to fight against the water, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent!

After the contract was signed, Berezovsky returned to Russia. And Joseph took Hou Chonglei to London, and Chen Mo and they also moved from the villa in Engelberg to the villa next to FIFA in Zurich.

The villa was the property of Russian oil magnate Evgensdwell in Zurich in his early years, but after his wealth swelled dramatically, this somewhat ordinary house did not seem so imposing.

In the early nineties, Sdwell was just a wealthy donor, similar to Chen Mo now. However, after he got a stake in Rosneft, his worth immediately rose to the current billion dollars. This house didn't reflect his worth at all, and he didn't make a move for a while, so Chen Mo and the others moved in temporarily.

However, in Chen Mo's opinion, this small building with a construction area of 140 square meters and two floors of 260 square meters is not luxurious. Not to mention anything else, just the electric waterbed in the master bedroom, Chen Mo checked the price, it was worth nearly 20,000 US dollars, and now he is idle here, what a waste!

There is also a Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in the courtyard, which can be used by Chen Mo and them, but unfortunately, Jiang Liwen can't drive, and when Chen Mo also leaves Switzerland, he can only use other methods to go to the hospital.

After settling down in Zurich, Chen Mo drove a car, took Luo Chaoying and a few children, and played a self-driving tour in Switzerland according to the tourist places on the tourist brochure, and played for a week.

Next, Luo Chaoying returned to China satisfied, and Yiyi officially started the second phase of treatment.

At the beginning, a week's full body examination was carried out, and the proportion of each element in the body was detected, and then according to the normal proportion of the human body, one by one was treated and supplemented.

What makes Chen Mo happy is that Professor Sinji Naji is very optimistic about Yiyi's physical changes. After half a year of development, although Yiyi's body has not improved, at least it has not changed worse. In the past, because of the growth brought about by the child's physical development, it added a lot of load to her body, but in the past six months, this problem has weakened a lot.

It is also through their treatment that Yiyi will now not have a low-grade fever for no reason, will not have nosebleeds, or even faint for no reason. If the current treatment method is followed, as long as she waits until she gets through the growth period one by one, then she can live a healthy life.

The time entered May, and the competition between several domestic enterprises finally reached a preliminary compromise under the interference of the upper leadership. In the whole plan, CNPC received 40% of the interest, and CNOOC received 15%. Although Petronas has obtained 45 percent of the equity, it is still a little dissatisfied, but for the time being, it can only accept such an arrangement.

However, the integration of major enterprises in Russia has still not achieved a satisfactory result for everyone. There are many disputes between the major oil companies, each of which wants a larger share of the plan.

Russia is not yet in the post-Putin era, at that time, their domestic oil companies were consolidated into several major oil companies, but now there are more than a dozen. And almost every one of them, in the oil fields east of the Urals, has more or less its own interests. So the competition is fierce.

One of the biggest obstacles is none other than Yukos, which initially negotiated a pipeline with Petronas, and despite the backlash from its domestic counterparts, they still insist that their company get at least 40 percent of the export share in this plan.

Chen Mo and Kang Xuedong have been paying attention to the movements of Japan and South Korea, because this matter has now come out, and it is rare for such a big business plan to come out now.

Chen Mo knew very well how bad the little devils did in this plan later, they co-opted local forces in several states in the Far East to cheer for the dispute over the route of the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, and finally destroyed the plan until three years later, and renegotiated it again, and it was not until 2010 that the Sino-Russian oil pipeline began to supply oil.

Thankfully, the current Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori is relatively close to China, and his government has not thought about this plan in any other way, or rather, has not reacted to it. He also congratulated the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, saying that if they wait until the little dog comes to power, regardless of whether this plan is beneficial to them or not, they will do it first, and then talk about things that harm others and benefit themselves, that is, things that harm others and themselves, and they will do it first.

Therefore, in order to prevent some small actions by the Japanese side and urge the Russian side to speed up the progress, it has now become Chen Mo's top priority. In this case, Chen Mo decided that he couldn't delay like this in Switzerland.

But if he wants to leave Switzerland, he must arrange Jiang Liwen and the two children, and everything else is easy to say, and the food is a big problem.

Jiang Liwen followed behind Aunt Hu and learned the key points of cooking for one by one, but every day she had to take them one by one to see a doctor, cook for them, and wash clothes, and these things were delayed, and she didn't have the energy to go to class at all.

Chen Mo thought about it and decided to hire a chef for them.

The local labor in Switzerland is too high, hiring a chef, not counting other costs, just the salary, it takes 4,000 Swiss francs per month, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan, nearly 30,000 yuan.

Chen Mo spent a lot of time at the service center of the Fulent community where they lived, before choosing a cook from Austria. He was responsible for grocery shopping, cooking two meals, and tidying up the house, with a weekly salary of 600 Swiss francs.

Due to the large number of rooms in the villa, Chen Mo is also responsible for her accommodation, which is a very lucrative condition for Zurich, where the cost of living is high, and there is a net income of more than 2,400 in addition to room and board.

And after inviting her, there is another advantage that the traffic problem is solved. Jiang Liwen can't drive, but she can drive, and she picks them up every day, and Chen Mo can also rest assured.

Chen Mo was leaving, and Yiyi was used to this kind of separation, although he was reluctant, he was still very calm. But Xiao Mo'er, who has always jumped out, came to this unfamiliar place, and couldn't even understand what she could say, and now that Chen Mo, the backbone, was leaving, she couldn't help crying, hugging Chen Mo for a long time and refusing to let go.

As soon as she cried, she couldn't help crying, the emotions of the two children also affected Chen Mo's mood, and when she got on the flight to Moscow, Chen Mo's heart was still sour.

It can be regarded as exercising their ability to live independently, and Chen Mo can only comfort himself in this way. (To be continued.) )
