Chapter 539: Murdoch violently enters

I wish the new year, the gentleman is frank, and the reader is chirping (Mimi)

(During the Chinese New Year, everyone else is eating, drinking, and having fun, and the author has to work hard to code words, when will the author stand up!) This person, with confidence, it's different!

Before Soros's plane landed, he called all the high-level officials in the Quantum Fund to prepare for a meeting. There were only 5 people in the conference room, all of whom were senior executives of the Quantum Fund and absolute elites in the financial industry. In half an hour, Soros briefly talked about his trip to Greece to meet Sean.

To sum up, Mr. Sean Rockefeller is worthy of being the successor of the next generation of the Rockefeller family, calm, calm, clear self-positioning, knowing people well, ruthless, and retributive...

These words are used to describe a capitalist and are definitely not derogatory. Soros continued, "It was a pleasure to communicate with Mr. Sean!"

He first qualitatively defined the matter.

"Mr. Sean has also identified the problems of the European economy, and he also thinks that the pound is dangerous right now, but he has not much experience in finance, so he wants to join forces with our Quantum Fund to short the European market."

"Sean and the Rockefeller family behind it, as well as the U.S. government, are not interested in the profits of the financial market, they are laying out the share of the foreign exchange reserve market and the oil market, of course, this has nothing to do with us, telling you this is to tell everyone, there is no need to have any mental burden, you can use whatever means you want, this time there are Rockefeller and the U.S. government standing behind us!"

"Righteousness, fearlessness!" Soros cheered up several collaborators and subordinates.

When Gosoros said this, several collaborators immediately cheered up, yes, we are on the side of justice, fearless!

Druckenmüller, Soros's assistant, a shareholder of the Quantum Fund, was in charge of the previous long Deutsche Mark!

Scott Besser, a financial expert and real estate expert, has been making a lot of money by shorting real estate stocks in the UK market for the past few months.

Druckenmiller was the first to speak, "Germany's economy is strong, their exports are highly competitive, German Finance Minister Schlesinger is more conservative, the current German fiscal policy has put Germany into the fast lane of development, and he will not change Germany's fiscal policy until there is no better and more secure way, and I don't think there is any policy that can bring stronger impetus to the Germans than the current interest rate hike."

"The idea of a European exchange rate mechanism is good, breaking down geographical restrictions and strengthening business activities, but the Germans at the center will not sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of other countries, unless one day the European currency is unified."

Soros looked at Scott Betser again, "Our ultimate goal is the British, Scott Betser, to tell me about your judgment."

"The problem in the UK is complicated, they have only been part of the exchange rate mechanism for a few months, the ERM stipulates that the exchange rate can fluctuate in a maximum range of 7%, and the pound has been stuck at this point for a long time." Scott Betser laughed and said, "The British are having a hard time right now, they've played a bad game."

"The Bank of England can solve the problem by raising interest rates, but the interest rate on real estate mortgages in the UK is usually floating, if the central bank raises interest rates, the British people will immediately have repayment pressure, and the decline in consumption is even worse for the UK, which is already in recession, and the rash interest rate hike is likely to generate a lot of bad debts, and those banks that lend out will not agree, unless they want to go bankrupt."

"Another point is exports, the Bank of England's interest rate hike will inevitably lead to the strengthening of the pound, and the appreciation of the pound will also make the competitiveness of exporting companies less competitive, and even more so, they will lose money and go out of business, which will inevitably be a major blow to the already sluggish British economy."

"So, my judgment is ....." Scott Betser paused, deliberately delaying and creating tension as if he were at an awards ceremony, he is a fun-loving man, although he is also in his 50s.

"The British are bound to raise interest rates!!" After that, Scott Besser laughed, "I just joined the European exchange rate mechanism and couldn't even keep it offline, and I was kicked out in embarrassment, and I don't want to lose face in the empire!"

"No one compares to Ying

The government cares more about face, even if it knows that it is wrong and problematic, but our British gentlemen must also be tough to the end, and will never admit it, and die in style!"

"It's like the best L85 rifle in the world."

As soon as these words came out, the conference room, which was originally in a tense atmosphere, suddenly burst into laughter, ridiculing the British for dying to save face and suffering guilt is a reserved program for the Americans.

Soros smiled, very satisfied, he heard it, you all have unique skills!

"Let me conclude that the British will definitely raise interest rates in order to maintain their own decency, but for the sake of the domestic market environment, this rate hike will definitely be controlled, and the pound will remain within the floating range of 7%." Soros concluded: "This will lead to a lot of contradictions in their country, the attitude of the people, the attitude of the banks, the serious separation between foreign trade companies and the government."

"The British are strong, we must admit that, but an Englishman with many internal contradictions is not terrible! No one has yet hit the idea of the pound, and we, the Quantum Fund, will be the first!"

"Make a name in history and create a precedent!"

In a word, everyone in the conference room was enthusiastic, yes, it's just a fund company, and the British Empire is confronted, even if the current Belt British Empire has slipped I don't know how many times at its peak, but he is still one of the most powerful countries in the world!

After some mobilization, the Quantum Fund immediately began to take action.

It is said that Americans work 8 hours a day, take two days off a week, and never work overtime .... Actually, the money is still not in place!

The United States and Europe have a time difference, and this time they are fighting in the base camp of the Europeans, and all the time is in line with that side. ....

The Quantum Fund is the same on Wall Street, after all, it is just a financial company that controls less than $2 billion.

So, the quantum fund is the initiator and the main force in this war, but they are not the only players, other hedge funds on Wall Street, the trading departments of major banks and the treasury departments of multinational companies are all capable players.

The first is to find the top ten international banks.

The top 10 banks are. JPMorgan, Chase Manhattan Bank, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Bank of Mitsubishi, Crédit Agricole, Banco Internationale de España.

Therefore, the British are indeed quite powerful, and two out of ten are British.

The first one to look for is Chase Manhattan, which is a bank controlled by Rockefeller, and it is his own family! With Sean pushing and old man David nodding, it was naturally unimpeded.

Of course, it is not possible to rely on Chase Manhattan, at least shorting the pound must require the cooperation of the Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC.

As for why these two banks will cooperate with Soros, a financial predator, to attack the pound in their own country.... At this time, I have to take out that sentence, capital has no borders!

The real reason, of course, is that the position of the banks does not necessarily coincide with that of the State, and the interests of the British Government do not necessarily coincide with those of the United Kingdom.

After some research, the Quantum Fund was first targeted at Finland.

Finland is not a member of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, but Finland is part of Europe, Finland's largest importer, and the Finnish mark is also anchored to the Deutsche mark, which is suitable for a decapitation on this bloody road.

Through Chase Manhattan, JP Morgan, and Crédit Agricole as springboards, the Quantum Fund has a large number of Finnish Mark positions in hand, and everything is ready.

Then it was time for someone else to cooperate, and at this time, Sean introduced his 'old friend' Murdoch to Soros. Financial speculation is inseparable from the cooperation of the media!

....

"Sean dog thief, what time is it, you call me, is there anything you can't talk about during the day, do you know how important sleep is to an old man!" Leaning against the head of the bed and picking up the phone, Murdoch roared loudly.

"That's great, if you don't work, I'll marry your daughter Prudence right away, and then join forces to kick your son out of the game and form a team

The world's largest media conglomerate, Sean Media." Sean burst out laughing.

Prudence: Hey, and this good thing? Dad, it's time to drink the medicine!

"Die, dog-thief, dog-thief!" Murdoch was furious, and he had to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, he couldn't let this *** succeed, I want to live well!

Alive!!

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Murdoch asked, holding back his anger.

"I went to Major when I was in England for TV, you remember."

"Well, then what?" Murdoch raised his eyebrows, scolded and scolded, cooperated and cooperated, without delay.

"I'm upset, and it just so happens that I found out about the problems of the British economy, so I asked Soros to prepare to short the pound and teach this group of arrogant shit gentlemen a hard lesson, and now, I need News Corp to cooperate over there."

"What's in it for me!" Murdoch said calmly.

The old guy didn't even think about the problem of failure, don't look at Murdoch talking about Sean as a dog thief all day long, but there is one thing he admits, Sean didn't lose money when he made a move!

It is not necessarily your loved ones who know you best, but more likely your enemies and opponents. "Give you 100 million in investment! "Sean, smash, smash, smash.

"500 million!" Murdoch didn't know what the total share was, but the lion was right with a big mouth.

"Old immortal, don't go too far!" Sean was suddenly anxious, he was going to force Murdoch to death, only to give out 3 billion US dollars, and the old man was going to take one-sixth of it when he opened his mouth, crazy!

"If you don't give it to me, I'll make trouble for you, and you just look at the strength of my News Corp in Europe!" Murdoch laughed, making Sean deflated, which was really delightful, and reached out and patted the woman next to him, "Go get some red wine, happy!" Sean: "...."

"Old immortal, believe it or not, I made your daughter's belly bigger!" Sean gritted his teeth in hatred. Prudence: You have to count, wait for me, overnight!

"You dare, Sean, you can make a face, this is a business talk." This was Murdoch's weakness, and the old guy immediately sat up straight.

"Who talked to you about business, did you talk about it like this, 200 million, at most, I only got a total of 1 billion shares!" Sean snorted coldly.

Murdoch didn't believe Sean's nonsense, "200 million shares are not worth the cooperation of News Corporation's rights." "Terms of exchange."

"I'm going to take a stake in the Asian Investment Bank!" "Fake!"

The two quarreled over the phone for a while, and finally Sean was forced to agree to Murdoch's $300 million stake in the Asian Investment Bank, of course, he was not a loss, and he asked Murdoch's Star Media to cooperate with his Asia Media to acquire Asia Television on Hong Kong Island.

ATV's current Lin Baixin is in charge of the overall situation, but his shares are only 30.83%, and the rest is still in the hands of Qiu Degen, the share problem Sean is easy to handle, but the Hong Kong British government will definitely set up all kinds of obstacles for Sean, Sean can't put a gun at the head of the Hong Kong governor and ask him to approve it!

This requires the cooperation of Murdoch's Star Media.

After talking about the matter, I don't know if there was a tacit understanding, and in the moment before hanging up the phone, the two scolded at the same time.

"Old immortal!" "Dog thief!" ....

On April 8 and 10, European finance ministers and central bank ministers met in the small town of Bath, England.

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Lamont clenched his fists and pleaded to Bundesbank President Schlesinger: "The finance ministers of 12 countries are here to ask you to cut interest rates, why don't you cut them?"

Of course, it is not that this mechanism is bad, but it does allow Europe to unite to a certain extent, so that the process of the EU can go further, and the economic exchanges between countries are more unimpeded.

There are pros and cons, and the pros outweigh the cons.

Schlesinger disagreed, but his words were softer, "Although I am not ready to cut interest rates, I don't see a reason to raise them."

Lamont didn't know if he didn't hear it, or if he wanted to save the picture

In order to save his career, he gave interviews to The Times and Sky Radio in which he turned Schlesinger's case into a compromise with the Bundesbank.

The Times and Sky were both News Corp., and with Murdoch's approval, news spread across Europe overnight, and major newspapers, even the Sun, which focused on gossip, began to report on the issue.

The direction of speculation is that Schlesinger cannot withstand the pressure of 12 countries and is ready to cut interest rates. Who said that if countries don't read newspapers, they won't be influenced by the media?

, it's all people, their energy is limited, and most of the information still has to be obtained by TV stations and newspapers, and it is natural to be affected by the content above.

The overwhelming reports made Schlesinger almost vomit blood, the Bundesbank has always adhered to independence, and the media exaggerated that he compromised under pressure, which is simply pointing at his nose and scolding, really what kind of face does he have to be this finance minister?

He's the German finance minister, not the fucking European Exchange Rate Mechanism finance minister! Again...

From the bottom of my heart, Schlesinger doesn't like that this bullshit exchange rate mechanism will work! "Immediately, get me some of the big newspapers, especially The Times, and I want to clarify!"
