"By the way, Manager Moji, please wait a minute, 9 million is the price given in US dollars as the base currency unit, I hope to trade in lira when this amount is finally paid, at the current exchange rate, 9 million US dollars should be 9.585 billion lira, right?"

Zhuang Mingge, who paid two main substitutes plus a transfer fee of $9 million to complete the deal, has no good feelings for the cunning Mo Lao Fox. Zhuang Mingge, who felt that he didn't take much "cheap" in this transfer, had an idea, and threw out a little opinion from Zuihou, who looked unnutritious: Today I will write this additional clause in black and white with your old fox, and wait until next summer, I will see if your old fox will be dumbfounded.

"Trading in lira? No problem! In Mo Ji's view, Zhuang Mingge's proposal to change the payment currency was simply a superfluous move, and Mo Lao Fox, who thought that he had basically achieved the purpose of the negotiation, did not think much about it, and happily made a small concession to Zuihou, adding such an additional clause to the two agreements.

After signing this agreement with Mo Lao Fox, Zhuang Mingge quickly fled from Turin: what are you kidding, if he doesn't leave after the news is released, then he is likely to be punctured and grilled by angry Juventus fans......

……

The next morning, instead of showing up at Juventus' training ground, Roberto Baggio was summoned to his office by general manager Moggie, who said he wanted to have a "good talk" with him.

An hour later, Baggio left Moji's office with a complicated expression.

Since the beginning of this season, Baggio's status in the team has been declining, from being an indispensable core player in the team last season to now having to rotate with a young man under the age of 20.

Baggio, who believes in Buddhism, is very open to these changes, after all, his form has not been good this season, his legs have been scarred after years of hard work, and the young man named Piero has a good football talent, which will become a great thing in time.

Therefore, if Lippi can communicate with him, Baggio will also agree to rotate with Piero, after all, his physical condition is here, and it is already impossible to play continuously as before.

But Lippi didn't talk to him about playing and removed him from the starting line-up.

Baggio knows very well that he used to be the star of Juventus FC, but due to the appearance of Piero and the arrival of Lippi, he will sooner or later be sold to other teams by the club's management.

But what Baggio didn't expect was that at the end of the season, he would return to the team he played for, Fiorentina.

In this regard, Baggio felt happy but also had some worries: happy that he could return to a familiar place, the enthusiasm of the Florence fans made him remember it vividly, and he heard that the new president of Florence was not as happy and forgetful as the previous Cerrigori, and if he returned to Florence, he should have a good development; The concern is, does the current Fiorentina team have their own place?

Yesterday's game made Baggio feel that the current Fiorentina team has the potential to be not inferior to any top team, as the main striker combination of Batistuta and Inzaghi are firmly positioned, and there is also a Montella on the bench (Vieri is gorgeously ignored...... If you go to Fiorentina, what will your status be in the team?

It won't be the heart of the team anyway, Baggio is sure of that.

At the same time at the training ground in Florence, Vieri, who was asking Batistuta to bring one of himself when training Pirlo, suddenly felt a sense of desolation.

"I always feel like my presence is too low......"

……

After leaving Turin, Zhuang Mingge did not return to Florence, but took a flight directly to the futures trading market in Switzerland.

"Karin, Rebecca, how's it going?" Zhuang Mingge, who had just gotten off the plane, immediately took a taxi to the futures market and found the two strong women who were here as commanders.

"Antonio, you have come just in time, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the 'that day' you said." Rebecca looked at Zhuang Mingge with a smile and added, "I also invested 20 million US dollars in it~"

"Huh?! Rebecca, where did you get so much pocket money?! ”

"I invested all the money I earned from the shijie cup!" Little Groz smiled brightly and said, "I trust Antonio's vision very much." ”

"Haha, yes, yes......" Zhuang Mingge laughed dryly, turned his head to look at the exchange rate of the lira against the US dollar displayed on the screen, the numbers on it were still very stable.

Three days later, the situation of the lira exchange rate at the highest point for several months finally changed, but to the pain of the majority of speculators, the lira that has been rising continuously in recent years did not continue to climb as they expected, but collapsed fiercely!

In August of this year, the lira reached its highest point against the US dollar at 1065:1, and this exchange rate did not fluctuate significantly until the time of Zhuang Mingge's trade with Moji.

However, just now, the Italian lira began to show signs of collapse against the dollar.

Zhuang Mingge is waiting for this moment!

In his previous life, he knew a lot of financial events, and the sharp depreciation of the Italian lira led by Soros's quantum fund was one of them.

Although it is said that as long as you short the lira in advance, you will definitely make a profit, but since you want to run a football club, it is better to have as much money as possible......

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge invested a huge sum of 50 million US dollars in the futures market this time!

By the time the foreign exchange settlement center closed, the lira had depreciated to 1,665:1 against the dollar, which meant that for every dollar, the Italians would have to pay about 600 lira extra.

And Zhuang Mingge took advantage of the opportunity of Soros's financial predator to snipe the Italian lira and made a lot of money in the futures market, deducting various related expenses, and Groz Jr.'s subordinates quickly reported their profits: Zhuang Mingge made a net profit of $20 million.

"Antonio, can we go celebrate now?" Little Groz said excitedly that this time the speculation made her also very fruitful.

"Don't be in such a hurry to celebrate, next, we have to invest in another currency."

"Which country?" Little Groz asked excitedly.

"Mexican peso."

……

In the middle of the night on December 19, 1994, the Mexican government suddenly announced that the peso, the national currency, had depreciated by 15 per cent. This decision caused great panic in the market. Foreign investors frantically sold pesos and snapped up dollars, and the exchange rate of the peso fell sharply.

On December 20, the exchange rate fell sharply by 13% from the initial 3.47 pesos to the US dollar to 3.925 pesos to the US dollar. On the 21st, it fell another 15.3%.

With the depreciation of the peso, foreign investors withdrew a large number of funds, and Mexico's foreign exchange reserves plummeted by nearly $4 billion in the two days from the 20th to the 21st, and the entire Mexican financial market was in chaos. From the 20th to the 22nd, in just three days, the exchange rate of the Mexican peso against the US dollar plummeted by 42.17%, which is extremely rare in modern financial history.

Taking advantage of the crazy depreciation of the Italian lira and the Mexican peso, Zhuang Mingge, who made a lot of money, returned to Florence with the joy of victory after celebrating with Karin and Little Groz, and interestingly, in his office, there is a "victim" of the depreciation of the lira waiting for him, the Moggie who lost nearly $3 million in vain because of the wrong choice of the type of currency traded on the transfer issue of Baggio, when they met, they looked sad:

"Antonio, you've hurt me this time!"

PS1: In response to the questions raised by some people in the book review section, we can only say that if Moggi did not have the support of the Agnelli family behind him, he would not have made much waves at all, after all, the status of the surname Agnelli in Italy is very special;

PS2: As for Baggio, who was only 27 years old in '94, was a balloon star? If you really think so, then we can only hehe......
