Chapter 220: On the Eve of the Storm

The stock market, the world's largest legal casino.

In fact, the same is true of the foreign exchange market.

Here is gambling, dealers, gamblers, buy more to earn less money, short to earn more money, dealers, never lose.

Therefore, earning more and earning less, in the final analysis, depends on how many opponents there are and when they will leave, rather than a simple math problem, as many as you want.

And the current war is essentially a game between long and short sides.

This is the essence of the forex market.

Whether it is the stock market or the foreign exchange market, going long and short will always exist at the same time, just like buying big and buying small at the gambling table.

Conversely, if everyone chooses to go long or short, then there will be no deal, and it will either rise to the sky or fall to the limit.

And since it is a game, there must be some strategies and actions, so at this time, as the bears, Wall Street, Soros is trying his best to lobby, trying to use his funds and connections to let more capital join the bears camp, and at the same time continue to release all kinds of rumors to shake people's hearts.

Correspondingly, as a defender, it is also a multi-party, mainly with the Thai official as the main party, which occurs frequently, takes frequent measures, and intends to stabilize people's hearts.

These are things that are invisible to the general public.

Even twenty or thirty years from now, these things will not have much to do with ordinary people, let alone the present.

But this is a real undercurrent, and its surging degree, once it erupts, is enough to sweep the world.

In the battlefield battle, Jiang Chen belonged to the bearish camp and belonged to Soros's side.

It stands to reason that he should also work hard, be high-profile, release some fake news, and attract some funds.

But this kind of behavior is obviously inappropriate, if you really want to do that, you have to make people spray to death, and the country will be disgraced, and it will be difficult to deal with the neighbors around you.

In the long run, it is also a hidden danger, after all, this is a storm that has swept the world, and it is difficult for the motherland to be left alone, so it is almost certain that someone will talk about this in the future and regard him as one of the main culprits of all this.

So, just jump up and down, it's still the same sentence, follow the soup, watch the play, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.

It is precisely because of such a strategy that the battlefield is filled with gunsmoke, and when the offensive and defensive sides come and go, he is almost on vacation.

He invested a total of $200 million in this battle.

This is not counting almost all the foreign exchange on the books of the export companies of the Canton Fair in the spring that has just passed.

The money has been invested, and the leverage has been opened, but it is not as much as $80 billion.

Because you can't borrow so many things to sell, it is impossible to borrow 80 billion baht directly from dealers.

Otherwise, Soros would not have to be so troublesome, and he would have to find a bank for a mortgage.

Of the $200 million he invested this time, only 50 million actually entered the Thai baht market.

Before the leverage is fully opened, it is 100 times, which is only equivalent to 5 billion US dollars entering the market.

The rest stood still.

Because of this, the fault tolerance rate is relatively high, even if the situation is deadlocked, there is room for maneuver.

Everything was arranged, he rented a luxury yacht, and took Luo Qing everywhere every day to surf and play.

And so the days went by.

The seemingly calm world, behind the scenes, the undercurrent is becoming more and more turbulent, and it may erupt at any time.

This was also the last calm on the eve of the storm, when the situation on the battlefield had reached the point of a critical moment.

For the Thai side, if it wins, everything will be fine, although there are still losses, and the losses are not small, but in the end a lot can be recovered.

On the other hand, if it fails, everything will be over, decades of accumulation will be ruined, I don't know how many institutions will go bankrupt, and I don't know how many people will jump off buildings.

As for the bears, it depends on whether they continue to eat meat or drink some soup and go back.

It is this kind of anxiety that makes many onlookers tremble, and almost all the eyes of the global financial community are focused on it.

Interestingly, the social aspect presents the feelings

The shape is diametrically opposed.

Compared with the changes in the foreign exchange market, people are more concerned about another thing, that is, the return of Hong Kong.

Yes, Xiangjiang is back.

Since the defeat of the first war in 1842, the Qing government ceded Xiangjiang, and after more than 150 years of wind and rain, Xiangjiang finally ushered in the moment of return.

At this time, almost the world's eyes are focused here, the domestic people are jubilant, and the citizens of Xiangjiang are still immersed in the joy of the crazy rise in the property market.

It's just that the Western world is still unwilling to accept it, and there are some twists and turns.

It was Sunday, June 29th.

The sea breeze is coming, and on the open-air balcony, the two of them are holding wine glasses and looking into the distance.

"It's going to be fine, right?"

Suddenly, Luo Qing looked sideways, and in her voice, between her eyebrows, there was clearly a little uneasiness.

Jiang Chen smiled and drank the wine in one gulp: "Yes, the wheel of history is turning, the waves are rolling forward, even if there are twists and turns, the general trend will not change."

"But we're still too far behind!"

Luo Qing sighed faintly, and was not hit by chicken blood.

Jiang Chen shrugged: "That's what I said, but it's also something that can't be helped, isn't it?

And in the long run, we are still very promising, and in another decade or two, we will also have aircraft carriers, and we will also have a 10,000-ton drive.

There are also bombers, drones, Aegis ships, caliber is justice, the truth is always only in the range of artillery and the like, the future military power, there will be a place for us!"

The outlook is bright.

The road is winding.

But to be honest, if it weren't for twenty or thirty years later, Jiang Chen himself wouldn't have believed it.

Because the current weapons and equipment are too backward, they are not as good as Britain and the United States, and even the small days next to them are very inferior.

What an aircraft carrier.

What a 10,000-ton drive.

I can't even think about it.

Luo Qing didn't speak, just looked at the man in front of him quietly, half loudly, and leaned his head over slightly: "Hope, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the country still needs to be stronger."

"yes!" Jiang Chen grabbed Luo Qing's shoulder, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "It's not that you will definitely be beaten if you fall behind, just like a beggar on the side of the road, will someone beat you, not necessarily.

But it's true that you are lagging behind, and you have no power to resist when you are beaten, and to put it bluntly, if you are lagging behind, you will not be beaten, it is because people don't want to beat you, and they are too lazy to beat you."

"It's like a baht?" Luo Qing glanced sideways slightly.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Yes, if you don't fight before, it's no good, I'm too lazy to fight, I really want to fight, just like now, if I really fight, Lao Tzu beats cubs, even if I don't move a single soldier, I can fight without any power."

Besides, we are different after all, the vast land, the large population, the only remaining one of the four ancient civilizations, and the history of 5,000 years, we are proud of more than 4,000 years, how can we be compared with a small country?

To put it bluntly, it's impossible for us to be beggars on the side of the road!"

"Makes sense." Luo Qing nodded slightly, took a sip of red wine, and quickly smiled again: "Forget it, don't talk about it so far, let's talk about the financial crisis, how long do you think the baht will last?"

「……」
