Chapter 378: "Sheep Shearing"

Only those chaebol bankers who have the power to print money are the real "worldly masters" who stand at the top of the global financial food chain!

Throughout history, the rise of each of the ten super families that control the Federal Reserve has been accompanied by opportunities and countless lives!

The banker predecessors of these ten major families played around with nothing more than these two sets of means of accumulating wealth.

The first set of means is to make war -- to make a fortune from war!

The rise of the Rothschilds - along with the collapse of Napoleon's dream of dominating Europe - bought large quantities of British government bonds and made a fortune in the war!

The rise of the Roosevelt family -- with the Second World War, the five Roosevelt brothers made great achievements -- the family members entered the American political arena -- the family successfully ran two presidents!

The rise of the Rockefellers - succeeded in creating a unique era in American history - the era of monopoly!

The rise of the Kennedy family - after World War I, the first Kennedy made his first pot of gold on stock investment and became a millionaire - and then raised his descendants to successfully enter American politics!

The rise of the Morgan family -- taking advantage of the civil war between the North and the South in the United States, to make a fortune from the war!

After entering the era of peace, Austin, who has incomparable ambitions and dreams, is estimated to be unable to wait for the outbreak of World War III and the war fortune in his lifetime.

Therefore, if Austin wants to realize his ambitions and dreams, he can only seize one opportunity after another in the bloodless financial war on Wall Street, and use every means to strengthen the family's bargaining chips. Step by step towards your dream!

As for how to quickly amass wealth, Austin chose to follow the predecessors of these international bankers who controlled the Federal Reserve, and used another set of extremely effective means of accumulating wealth that has been proven countless times in the non-war period - the method of creating an economic recession to increase his wealth and realize his ambitions and dreams!

How do you create a recession?

The first is to expand credit, blow up bubbles, and wait for a large amount of people's wealth to be invested in a speculative frenzy, and then suddenly slam out the money to create an economic recession and a collapse in assets!

When the price of high-quality assets plummets to one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the normal price, they act as "saviors" and buy and merge these high-quality assets at super-low prices - a method in the terminology of international bankers. It's called "sheep shearing".

This time it was a subprime mortgage crisis signal. For the ambitious Austin, it was a great opportunity to "shear sheep" like no other!

Once the subprime mortgage storm breaks out, it is conservatively estimated that the chaebol that will fall in this "Huashan Sword" will not know how to go!

There are too many forces waiting to carve up Lehman's big fat meat. So Austin is ready to fish in troubled waters after shorting Lehman on stock index futures and earning a vote. Just turn the tip of the gun on Merrill Lynch!

Austin had already analyzed all of his opponents after receiving the news. The real competitor who can compete with him for Merrill Lynch's fat meat, even if you count it, only the National Trust Savings Bank of the Americas has this qualification!

Barclays no matter what it says. It is also the EU background, and none of the families who control the Fed will want to see the EU-backed capital take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of their hands. Therefore, it is very likely that they will intervene in the name of "savior" to mediate, and the result of the mediation is Austin's judgment that the National Trust and Savings Bank of America, which has the backing of the Federal Reserve, is very likely to merge and acquire Merrill Lynch as a whole.

The method of mergers and acquisitions is nothing more than to suppress the stock price in the early stage, and after the other party is on the verge of bankruptcy, one share will eat two shares, or three shares, or even four shares or five shares, and carry out a share exchange merger.

Therefore, Austin, who is ambitious and wants to develop his family, has his eyes on Merrill Lynch Group after detailed measurement and analysis!

First, together with the National Trust Savings Bank of the Americas, we suppressed the stock price of Merrill Lynch. Then, he extorted shares of Merrill Lynch from the hands of Antonio Sr. In the end, with Merrill Lynch as a springboard, the company exchanged shares for the National Trust Savings Bank of America and became a shareholder of the bank!

According to Austin's preliminary analysis and calculations, as long as the stock price of Merrill Lynch acquired from Antonio Sr. is less than $20 per share, this move will be a perfect move to kill two birds with one stone - short the stock price to earn a vote! When the National Trust Savings Bank of America merges Merrill Lynch, the share exchange should be able to earn another vote!

(In real history, on September 14, 08, the National Trust Savings Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch at a price of $29 per share, about $44 billion in a share swap to acquire and merge the entire Merrill Lynch Group.) Previously, Merrill Lynch's stock price was once suppressed to $17.05 per share, and its market value quickly shrank by more than $15 billion in that week! )

And the only prerequisite for Austin to achieve this perfect plan of "killing two birds with one stone" must be that he has sufficient cash flow in his hands!

When he went all the way back to the apartment before, he had already begun to calculate the existing capital in his hands, and then calculated the capital profit that he could make by shorting Lehman stock price and Merrill Lynch stock price in the future - as long as he steadily invested half of the capital and shorted it with a leverage ratio of 1:100, after the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, he would make a profit of at least 10 billion yuan!

As the third largest shareholder of Merrill Lynch Group, if these shares in his hands are acquired at a value of $20 per share, the capital of 10 billion US dollars is enough to eat all the Merrill Lynch shares in the hands of Antonio Sr. into his own name!

But the account can't be counted like that! In order to prevent panic runs on the public and potential adversaries after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, as well as the upcoming "Brown Bear Tribal Reserve Construction", the Heckless Investment Bank must have sufficient cash flow on its books to deal with temporary unexpected problems.

Therefore, on the way back to the apartment, Austin made such a decision - to pull his wife into this plan to "snipe" Merrill Lynch!

His wife's investment account now has a huge cash flow of more than two billion, and the plan to short Lehman was originally going to take his wife's funds to act together. Therefore, after the success of this plan, according to Austin's calculations, the capital in his wife's investment account will at least double by that time!

And such a huge amount of capital is enough to join the plan of "sniping" Merrill Lynch and the subsequent reserve construction plan of the Brown Bear Tribe! (To be continued......)

PS: Today's first update, it took a long time to revise and revise such a chapter! The springboard plan of the male protagonist in the article is all about me.,The real capital merger is not as simple as what I wrote.,I originally wanted to design a more reasonable and perfect one.,But my current state hasn't been completely restored.,So I decided to take it over casually! After dinner, I will continue to code the second update! Book lovers, please be patient!
