Chapter 46: The Peak of the Sword (Part II)

The rest of the story is known to everyone, when three planes crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, shaking the whole world. Those religious radicals are also known as terrorists in the world, and for this reason, the United States did not hesitate to launch two local wars to completely eliminate the two regimes.

It is precisely because of the previous radical cut that the Saudi royal family has not been blamed for these things very much. In order to repay Zhongshi's kindness, under the arrangement of Prince Faisal, the Saudi royal family transferred five oil-rich oil wells to Zhongshi at a low price, and as soon as the Iraq War broke out, these oil wells were immediately worth a hundred times and became part of Zhongshi's huge wealth empire.

"Actually, I'm not very sure, I always feel that the risk about the subprime mortgage market has not completely disappeared, and there is a risk that this market will continue to deteriorate, even if the Federal Reserve has intervened." Looking at the Twin Towers, Zhong Shi sighed and said with some emotion.

Hearing Zhong Shi say this, Prince Faisal's face suddenly became solemn, he didn't think that Zhong Shi was perfunctory to himself, you must know that many times, many things do not make sense, but there is always a feeling in the dark reminding himself. Of course, Prince Faisal simply thought that this was Allah's warning to him.

"Hey, that thing in England, you can't do it, right?"

After frowning and thinking about it, Prince Faisal couldn't help but ask. Naturally, he said that the incident that happened a few days ago, the run on the North Rock Bank.

In recent years, with the growth of oil capital, the demand for overseas investment in Middle Eastern countries has also begun to grow strongly, and rich Europe is naturally their first choice. In addition to entering the real estate industry. They are also involved in aviation, finance and other fields, and some rich people even spend a lot of money to buy a football team to play.

For geographical reasons, the wealth of Middle Eastern countries is more inclined to seek opportunities on the continent of Europa than to cross Haiti to the American continent, which is the same reason that the Russian oligarchs love London.

So the Arab consortia are vigilant enough about what is happening in Europe, and although they are also wary of the local conglomerates at some point, they still see the whole of Europe as their backyard and try to prevent other consortia from coveting it. When I knew that there was a run on North Rock Bank. Prince Faisal's first reaction was not that there was really a problem with the Northern Rock Bank. It's that someone is behind the ghost, and according to the principle of maximum profit, it is naturally the person who shorts the shares of Northern Rock Bank.

But through the investigation, Prince Faisal and his think tank did not find the involvement of a super consortium. This is despite the fact that Northern Rock's stock has lost nearly 90 percent of its market value. But all indications suggest. It's just that something has gone wrong within them. Just when he was puzzled, a wise man reminded him not to limit things to the North Rock Bank itself. Maybe it has something to do with subprime mortgages.

The thought that he had just signed a bond purchase agreement with Stanley for up to $20 billion, and that there was a run on this side, Prince Faisal couldn't help but shudder. After calming down, he began to think one by one about who was behind the scenes. Thinking about it, there is only one goal, that is, Zhong Shi, and only he has such strong financial resources and great ambition to plan such a big event that shocks the market.

So there was a meeting between the two sides this time.

This was the question that Prince Faisal wanted to know the most, but he did a good job of hiding himself and did not ask straight to the point at the beginning, because it might anger the other party. After the reminiscence, he cut to the point, and asked seemingly casually.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Shi was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood what Prince Faisal said, and shook his head lightly at the moment and retorted, "How is this possible?" Can you control the interest rate of the entire pound borrowed? Even if I could, I would not have been able to short North Rock, knowing that it might anger the Bank of England and investigate me. What, do you have a stake in that bank? ”

"I don't have shares, I just think it's a little strange, how this kind of thing happened at this time, it's incredible." As Zhong Shi spoke, Prince Faisal's eyes kept on the other. From beginning to end, Zhong Shi did not avoid the other party's forced gaze, his eyes were clear and transparent, and his demeanor was natural and sincere, it was obvious that either he was a master of disguise, or he was telling the truth. Prince Faisal naturally believed that it was the latter, because there was really no need for the other party to hide anything, even if the other party made a move, if the clock stone said it generously, he would have nothing to do with the other party.

"It's all the fault of subprime mortgages!" Zhong Shi didn't know that at this moment, so many thoughts had flashed through Prince Faisal's heart, and he frowned and analyzed, "It seems that this matter is getting more and more intense, not only in the United States, but also in the British market, and what I was worried about finally happened." ”

Prince Faisal's face turned pale and bloodless at this moment, even though his skin was already extremely white. But at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed from the sky, and at that moment, Zhong Shi could clearly see that even the cyan blood vessels on the other party's face could be seen very clearly.

The electric light was fleeting, and Prince Faisal was speechless for a long time, and after a long time he asked bitterly: "Mr. Zhong, the most reliable and loyal friend that Allah has given me, this time you must help me and tell me what to do." ”

"Alright, don't pretend to be pathetic!" Zhong Shi didn't think so, looked at Prince Faisal's exaggerated performance with a smile, and said, "When you learned that I didn't buy this bond, you must have made another preparation." I believe that with your shrewdness, you will never let such a large amount of money be lost in vain, you say yes. ”

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you!" Prince Faisal's face changed for a moment, and then he finally smiled, regained his previous faint arrogance, and after giving Zhong Shi a thumbs up, he said with admiration, "Indeed. When I heard that you didn't buy the bond, I set myself a way back. I just didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, faster than I could have imagined. You wait, I'll call right away and cancel the deal! ”

"There's no hurry!" Zhong Shi waved his hand, looked into the distance, and sighed leisurely, "The storm is finally coming!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderclap sounded above their heads, and then a torrential rain poured down from the sky. (To be continued......)
