Chapter 537: Storm Crying
(PS: It's the New Year, can I take a leave?) )
Soros is smiling very happily!
Seeing through the disguise of a child of a big family all along, this makes him feel a sense of accomplishment! This sense of accomplishment is indescribable!
Looking at Sean, who had taken off his 'disguise' in front of him, Soros showed a childlike innocent smile. How many years has this smile not appeared on his face?
Just ask, who else! What is the insight of the world! What is the practice of human affection! What is life experience!
Me, Saul Keen Rowe Sharp S!
"To reintroduce me, my name is Sean Rockefeller." Sean put away his smile, was serious, and bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.
Soros also stood up again, straightened his suit, looked reserved, and reached out to hold it with Sean, "My name is George Soros, and it's nice to meet Mr. Sean."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. Sean: This old man is a bit of a cat.
Soros: This kid is scheming and good at disguise, and he can't be fooled by what he shows on the surface!
Speaking of which, although Americans don't complain about British clothing all the time, and don't look down on the arrogance of the British from the bones, they secretly always can't help but imitate, learn, and define it as the standard of the upper class.
Chasing all things old England, from cutlery to refreshments, from dressing to use, from talking to castle.....
Who let America be a country built by a group of criminals, fugitives, slaves, bankrupt merchants and other low-level people, with no history, no heritage, no culture, and after suddenly becoming strong, they frantically pursued these things, to package, to whitewash.
Let's talk about the Rockefeller family, the old Rockefeller and his father were drunkards, gamblers, and debauched counterfeit drug dealers, of course, they were not poor in those days, otherwise they would not have the money to go to high school.
After getting acquainted again, Sean sat down and couldn't wait to start talking about his plans. He wasn't going to stay with Soros anymore for fear of contagion.
Of course, it is also possible that the reason why Soros is so successful in the financial market is because he thinks too much in his head, who knows.
"The reason why Britain wants to join the European exchange rate mechanism is nothing more than two points, first, the countries of the European continent maintain a stable exchange rate, which is conducive to commercial exchanges and economic recovery, and at the same time creates trade barriers for countries outside the European continent.
"Second, politically, Britain does not recognize its own decline, and in order to maintain its influence on the European continent, to maintain its influence over the world, to keep the pound strong, they must also join, and their usual way of doing it is to join first, then destroy, and keep stirring up."
"However, in my opinion, the decline of Britain is irreversible, even if it joins the exchange rate mechanism, it is useless, they cannot keep up with the pace of the European engine Germany, the Germans are more stubborn, more strict in financial control, more believe in the industrial line they have always adhered to, I am more optimistic about their future." Saying that, Sean shook his head, "Finance, no matter what, is virtual, he must be built on the real economy, there is no thick real economy, industrial system, simply focus on finance, sooner or later."
Soros nodded in agreement, he is not fake playing finance, but he focuses on studying the loopholes in the financial systems of various countries and regions, and then violently destroying the financial system to reap the benefits.
How can someone who studies the loopholes not know where the biggest risks to the financial system are?
"It's not just the pound that's risky, it's the Italian lira too." Soros added.
Sean tilted his head and thought about it, he didn't have any impression, he had the impression that Italy was very awesome at this time, especially football, which invested heavily to bring in the best players in the world, known as the small World Cup, and the first contact with Sean in his last life was Serie A. Install the cushion table!
At that time, the vast majority of fans in the country were Serie A fans.
Football is so good, how can there be no money, how can the economy be bad.
It's over 2000
After the rise of the Premier League, Italy's economy has declined sharply, many large companies have gone bankrupt, and the name of Serie A is not in the world, but the timing is not right.
Of course, I thought so, but Sean didn't say it, judging economic development by whether football is good or not, this is too layman!
Sean didn't want to expose his ignorance.
Soros was so successful that Sean chose to believe the old man, albeit a little bit.
Soros doesn't know what Sean thinks in his heart, he is a financial expert, since he wants to cooperate with Sean, he must show his professionalism, and he can't let Sean underestimate it.
As for the former name, it was just a stepping stone, just like he didn't think too much of Sean at the beginning, he believed that the other party would not easily believe in the so-called financial expert name.
Sean:???
"On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and East and West Germany were reunited." Soros began to talk eloquently about his analysis of the current trend of the European economy and his judgment on the future, "After the reunification of Germany, the poor social XX East Germans threw themselves into the arms of wealthy West Germany and enjoyed the high welfare benefits of capitalism, which led to a significant increase in the German government's related welfare expenditures and a soaring fiscal deficit."
"Excessive money issuance and increased deficits will inevitably lead to inflation, which in academic circles is called fiscal inflation."
Sean nodded in agreement, he thought of the wave of bankruptcies and layoffs of state-owned enterprises after the reform and opening up in the north, and inflation led to many tragedies, which was his personal experience.
"There are successful cases of solving the inflation problem, that is, during the Reagan era, in March 80, the inflation in the United States was as high as 14.8%, the then Federal Reserve Chairman Volcker raised interest rates continuously, the federal benchmark interest rate reached 20% in June 1981, and the inflation rate fell to 3% in 1983.
"Successful lessons will be learned, and before there is a better way, the world is now dealing with inflation in this way, so the German Federal Bank is hanging on to raise interest rates!"
"But the problem has arisen, in the past few years, during the official recession of the European economy as a whole, European countries will inevitably choose to cut interest rates in response to the economic recession!"
Sean nodded, the European economic recession is still his credit, he gave the French and Spaniards a knife when he was steaming in Morocco, and he bled a lot, plus he promoted the development of the textile industry in Morocco, the effect in the past two years has been remarkable, and the French textile industry has to transfer its industry to Morocco because of the high cost.
This is another one-handed cut!
"In contrast, Germany has raised interest rates and other countries have cut interest rates, and such a high interest rate has naturally attracted a lot of money to abandon the franc, lira, and pound sterling in favor of the Deutsche mark, and this is the contradiction."
"The core of the European exchange rate mechanism is the mark, and the currencies of all countries are tied to the mark, and if the mark rises, they must follow suit, but the problem is that other countries have to cut interest rates because of the recession, and Germany must also raise interest rates in order to deal with the inflation brought about by the merger."
"Germany raises interest rates, the mark appreciates, other countries cut interest rates, currency depreciation, according to the rules, it must be bound, and the national currency must also appreciate!" Soros spread his hands and mocked, "Such a big contradiction is simply nonsense, I am not optimistic about the exchange rate system created by Europe at all!"
"In the mid-to-late 80s, Britain began to engage in real estate, which can best boost the economy, and when the British economy grows gratifyingly, but real estate is to blow bubbles, and you can't keep building houses, there will always be saturation, otherwise this blowing bubble will be punctured a little, it will be a disaster!"
"The British government is really experienced in finance, so from the summer of 1988 to the autumn of 1989, the Bank of England tightened monetary policy and kept raising interest rates, from 7.5% to 15%, doubling the total, quickly cooling the real estate market, stabilizing house prices, stabilizing the market, but .....
"Stopping property development, leaving a lot of supporting companies shut down, going bankrupt, workers unemployed, and the UK entered a recession in 1990, and the unemployment rate rose to 7.7%, and this rise is far from peaking, as the economy weakens, it will only be higher, and this will have a ripple effect, home buyers lose their jobs and cannot repay their loans
If buyers have no money to repay their loans, banks will fail, and the tightening of capital pockets will inevitably lead to a decrease in economic firepower, and even low productivity, inflation will appear, and exports will become less competitive.....
"The current Britain is a classic car full of problems, as long as we kick the British in the ass, the classic car will immediately fall apart and stall!"
(PS: Don't over-interpret it, this is just a piece of real history, without any insinuations, beg for a living!) )
"Britain has to join this exchange rate system at this time, ha, Major is completely ignoring the possible serious consequences for the sake of the prime minister's success, and is eager for quick success!" Soros didn't believe that the world's first and most experienced Briton would not even be able to see such an obvious problem, but they really did it!
"Politicians can't do anything for the votes, for their positions." Sean chuckled, the corners of his mouth pulled out a mocking arc, "If Major can't be re-elected, then what does it have to do with Britain even if it survives this crisis, he will not receive any praise, on the contrary, the unemployment rate has risen sharply during his tenure, and the economic situation has not improved at all, he will only be nailed to the shame of British politics."
"Is he willing to carry this pot for the Iron Lady?" Sean spreads his hands.
Soros shook his head, "No way, he is not willing to let his political career be smeared with a stain that it shouldn't have been, and it will be written into the history books. British Prime Minister, the world's most influential figures, how can he be willing."
Sean nodded heavily and continued: "So, he must, and can only take risks, and if he succeeds, he is the savior of Britain, and he has been recorded in history."
"Defeated, he just followed the original trajectory, being ridiculed as a waste prime minister, and being scolded by others."
Soros is not a politician, but he is also a generation of influential figures, and when he talks about this, he is also quite empathetic, he was forced.
"People are always responsible for their own choices!" Sean was unmoved, "When the Iron Lady stepped down and gave him the opportunity to take the position, he knew that it was a mess, didn't he take it, since he didn't want to miss the opportunity, then don't blame him for coming to this point."
"No one forced him!"
"That's right." Soros smiled and nodded.
The topic of Major ended here, and Sean pulled the topic back, "I don't understand finance, so I'm only going to express my opinion, a little more superficially, and the specific actions are still according to your intentions." Sean smiled and said, "How much money do you need to lay out?"
"If you need it..... Soros thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "In fact, in November '89, the Quantum Fund was already hyping the Deutsche Mark, investing $2 billion before and after, and the Quantum Fund returned 29.8% in 1990."
Sean was stunned for a moment, then looked up with a smile and nodded at Soros, damn, it turns out that this old guy has already started to do it. Soros burst out laughing.
"10 billion, how's that?" Sean raised his hand and threw money directly.
Soros was stunned, his mouth slowly opened wide, and he looked at Sean in disbelief, and his tongue almost fell to the ground. It's not that Soros is surprised, it's not that he hasn't seen the world.
Don't let Soros's reputation give him a reputation as to how many assets he manages.
No, the total assets under management of the Quantum Fund are currently less than $2 billion!
Hyping Deutsche Mark's investment of 2 billion before and after is not a one-time time, it is a repeated sum, and these people who engage in finance like to take advantage of loopholes and brag about it, which is instinct!
By the end of '97, after the financial turmoil in Asia, the assets under management of the Quantum Fund had just increased to $6 billion! Awesome, not equal rich!
Quantum Fund is a high-risk private equity fund, pay attention to the high-risk, private placement!
A high-risk, a private equity is destined not to have too many people to invest in the quantum fund, the capitalists' money is not blown by the wind, they all have stable investment projects, and they will not invest a large amount of money in this high-risk fund at all!
Moreover, the Quantum Fund is registered in Curaçao, not the United States at all!
According to Sean
According to the information obtained here, these people who invested in Soros either had suspicious sources of funds, or black money, or some people were nouveau riche who were fooled by Soros.
Well, Soros said that he has seen a lot of nouveau riche, and it is indeed true, such as those sports stars, singers, who have taken revenge.
They are all old black, they have no brains, let alone knowledge, they have money, they are inflated, they want to be taller, they think they can improve their taste, these people are especially easy to be targeted by the vampires of Wall Street.
Soros, they are one of them.
If you lose, you will be the ***, and if you make it, you will be your own! But Soros is really powerful, and there are very few times when he loses.
Therefore, now that he heard that Sean was going to give him $10 billion at once, Soros was surprised and looked like he had never seen the world.
That's 5 times the total assets he manages!
"Mr. Sean, I...." Soros's hands trembled a little, and he was a little panting, "Calm down, although I am very confident, but I have to emphasize that financial speculation is a high-risk investment, the risk is very, very, very high, I don't recommend that you put so much money into it, really, believe me, it doesn't fit the investment logic at all!"
He was really scared!
This guy in front of him is Sean, the successor of the next generation of the Rockefeller family, especially not those old blacks who don't understand fart!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have that black money or old black money, he can bear it, but Sean's money....
Just think about the small piece of paper in his pocket, you know that no matter how famous he Soros is, he doesn't feel more noble than King YLK.
He was afraid that one would accidentally lose Sean's money, and then Sean would lose him at some point!
I, Soros is just a financial speculator, a wolf on Wall Street, and there is no comparison with these real big families.
People are so anxious that even the president of the United States dares to kill, what is he! Afraid.....
Even if Rockefeller really didn't pursue him, but when the news of his loss of 10 billion investors spreads, he will be completely finished, and no one will believe him!
"You're Soros, what are you afraid of, I believe you!" Sean laughed, unmoved.
"No, I'm afraid, I don't believe in myself!" Soros had a firm face and said something he had never said in his life!
If anyone hears about this, his clients will think he's crazy.
"Don't be afraid!" "No, I'm afraid!"
Sean frowned, he remembers this guy's shorting of the pound clearly, a stable and 100% profitable business, you don't want to take me to play?
What do you want!
"Do you want to eat alone?" Sean's tone was less polite.
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!" Soros is really going to cry now, he has never felt that money is so hot. "The oath you just said is true!" Sean snorted coldly.
With a "snap", Soros raised his hand and gave himself a mouth, so that you couldn't control your mouth, *** owed! The 61-year-old's cloudy eyes are watery and full of bitter tears at this moment.
"You look down on me!" Sean stared at Soros. Soros: —=Φ9....
Standing up Ali, Soros grabbed Sean's hand, "It can't be like this, really, really can't be like this, it's too much, it's really too much, something will happen!"
"I'm not afraid!" Sean shook off Soros's hand and was determined that he had to eat this mouthful of meat. Soros sat in his seat as if he had lost his soul....
