Chapter 137: The Big Guy's Past
Two days later, New York, the headquarters of the Quantum Fund.
When Soros received this belated email, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What Jones said in the letter was so appalling that it was simply unheard of, and even the well-informed Soros himself was suspicious of it.
For example, what is written in the mail is as if the Federal Reserve is printing money directly to an institution, which is the best thing in the world, but it is also the most ridiculous thing in the world, because it is a naked plunder of other people's wealth. Although because of the existence of seigniorage, the U.S. government is also blatantly plundering the wealth of the whole world, after all, because the government's power is firmly locked in a cage, these currencies can only be circulated through the financial credit system, and will not have too much impact on the total amount of money in the whole society, nor will it cause widespread dissatisfaction.
Now, what Bank Indonesia is doing is to stuff money directly into the pockets of certain people, as soon as the news spreads, the entire Indonesian society, regardless of ethnicity and class, I am afraid that a nationwide demonstration will immediately break out, and even cause unimaginable turmoil.
As soon as he thought of the chain reaction, Soros couldn't sit still and hurriedly called Druckenmiller. After Druckenmiller saw it, like Soros's reaction, he was speechless for a long time.
"Stanley, how much credibility do you think this thing has?" Seeing that his most powerful subordinate was silent, Soros's brows furrowed. He asked first.
"What a shock!" Druckenmiller let out a long breath, and his two oily eyes kept rolling and finally stopping on Soros's face, "If all this is true, then our position is in big trouble!" ”
Soros nodded approvingly and complained: "This is nothing short of a robbery, an undisguised crime." Oh my God, who the hell are we trading with, and how can this happen? ”
"George, calm down!" Druckenmiller's performance was quite unexpected. Just a little surprised at first. But he quickly regained his calm expression and said slowly, "It's not certain whether these are true or not, but we have to act." After all, our position in the rupiah is somewhat large. ”
"It's a little difficult!" Soros shook his head helplessly. "You should be clear too. What is the current situation in the market of the rupiah, with a daily turnover of only a few million dollars, which is simply negligible. Including the over-the-counter market, liquidity is as if it's dead. I can't imagine how I chose such a currency to trade in the first place. ”
"George, based on what you've experienced before, do you think this kind of thing is real?" At the mention of the liquidity of the rupiah, even Druckenmiller, who has always been wise and almost demonic, was speechless, and he changed the topic after a while.
"Me?" Soros was stunned, pointed to his nose and asked, "You mean the matter on the email?" When I was younger, I saw things that were a hundred times more ridiculous than this. It's just that I've been in the United States for so long, and I've long been accustomed to life here, and I've forgotten about those things back then, so I didn't remember it for a while. ”
As soon as these words came out, Druckenmiller suddenly became interested, touched his chin and asked, "Is it?" Can you talk about it? ”
Born in Austria as a child, Soros escaped the massacre of Nazi Germany as a Jew, moved to England after World War II, and after graduating from the London School of Economics and Political Science, he began to work in the financial markets, and later moved to the United States to become the famous person he is today.
The years of his youth were the darkest years in all of Europe, and the Nazi iron cavalry traveled all over Europe, and Austria, which was adjacent to Germany, was not spared.
"That time ......," Soros sighed leisurely, his tone full of gloom and sadness, "you would never think about how murderous and violent the Nazis were. I really don't want to recall it, but even now, some scenes still come back from time to time in my nightmares in the middle of the night. ”
Druckenmiller didn't say anything more, just his eyes flickered, clearly reserved for Soros's words.
It's no wonder that he grew up in the United States, a country known as the rule of law, and he walked out smoothly all the way, rarely came into contact with the dark side of society, at most all kinds of conspiracies, and most of these things are within the legal framework, and this kind of means is very common, and most of them will not involve human life, so Druckenmiller naturally will not understand what Soros said.
Just by glancing at it, Soros guessed what Druckenmiller was thinking, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'll just say one thing, one thing that I personally experienced." It was a rainy night in the middle of the night, on the streets of Budapest, a BMW sedan suddenly crashed into the protective fence, crashed into the ground and smashed, killing two people on the spot. ”
"The reason why I know Lu is because I happened to be out of Lu to buy bread that day and I was almost hit by that BMW. I saw with my own eyes two people in the car, a man dressed in SS clothes and a young woman dressed as a noblewoman. When the people on the street catch up, the people in the car have already lost their breath, and you will know how fast the car was at that time! ”
"What's so strange about that?" Druckenmiller listened patiently, and here he couldn't help but ask.
Soros looked at him deeply, shook his head slightly, and said, "This is not strange, the focus is on the back." When a group of people on the street work together to open the already sparse car door, they find that the man is naked, and the woman is lying between the man's legs, apparently doing that, which caused the accident. ”
"None of this is a big deal. Bizarrely, when the Germans arrived, they shot the corpse twice without saying a word, and then grabbed the Jews present, announced that they had planned the murder, and without saying anything, arrested these good people and sent them to concentration camps. ”
"What?" Druckenmiller only felt his scalp tingle, and he staggered up from his seat and said in disbelief, "This ...... How is this possible? Isn't there a law? They...... How can they do that? ”
"Can't?" Soros smiled bitterly and said bitterly, "As long as there is anything, it will eventually be blamed on the Jews, just like what I said, even if hundreds of people witnessed it on the spot, it was we Jews who were unlucky in the end." Luckily I didn't linger too much that day, otherwise I would have been caught mercilessly like those people. ”
Druckenmiller immediately fell silent, and after a long time he whispered, "What about those people?" What happened? ”
"How's it going?" Soros suddenly became excited, and his lips trembled a little, "I don't know what to do!" No one knew what they did, and I never saw them again! ”
Despite the preparation in his heart, Druckenmiller still gasped and lost his voice: "They...... They stammered for a long time ......, but in the end they didn't say what was in their hearts.
"It's all in the past!" Soros was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "You now understand why I believe in Karlpop's philosophy!" Now, let's discuss, what exactly should we do with these rupiah positions? ”
"What should I do?" Druckenmiller was not in a rut, "There is no liquidity, and unless we turn these currencies into physical goods, we may still have some chances, or we will sit back and wait." ”
"Things haven't gotten to that point yet!" Soros shook his head and rejected Druckenmiller's proposal, "There are not many varieties of goods to choose from in Indonesia, unless it is iron, gold and other items, otherwise we will get it very hot." On the one hand, we are looking for goods that can hold their value in Indonesia, so that we can buy them when we need them, and if they issue coins like this, the price of these items will rise soon, but the exchange of dollars will still fall, and we can hold them for a while. On the other hand, let Rodney continue to keep an eye on the Indonesian market to see if things can turn around. ”
Druckenmiller thought about it again, and felt that this was the best way to deal with it at the moment, so he could only nod. Then he remembered one more thing and asked: "George, in a few days, the Indonesian side will send another senior official to New York to reassure investors, and then we can just ask about the relevant situation, and try to see if what Lu Daorodney said is true, and then make a decision." ”
"It's good!" Soros nodded, remembered something again, and said, "Isn't there a Canadian company recently that is said to have found a huge amount of gold in Canada?" If possible, we will invest in that company immediately, after all, gold is still very valuable. ”
"It's good, I know it!" Druckenmiller nodded.
……
Hong Kong, within X-Spatial Fund.
"Are you all flat?" Zhong Shi looked at Ren Ruowei, who was excited, and his face was a little weird.
Ren Ruowei rubbed his hands, although his expression was flat, but the joy between his eyebrows still couldn't be hidden, seeing Zhong Shi ask, he straightened up, and said with confidence: "Yes, recently the Bank of Seoul declared bankruptcy, it is said that the government intends to merge the First Bank of Korea and the Bank of Seoul, and has injected 4 trillion won of capital, I took advantage of the Korean won to close the position, the average price is 1358 won to 1 US dollar, and fortunately I opened the situation of the falling limit, otherwise the Korean won will definitely be sealed in the position of the falling limit today." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhong Shi's face, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued: "Since the South Korean government has taken action, my team and I judge that the most dangerous time has passed. The yield of 38.57% is enough to satisfy us. How about it, Zhong Sheng, you should also consider closing the position. ”
Zhong Shi shook his head slightly, and said in a flat tone: "Since this is the case, you should prepare the car, you have already lost!" (To be continued......)
