The full moon hung like a disc in the night sky, and the dark sea sparkled on the surface.

On the high seas, the two fishing boats slowly approached and soon stuck together.

A gangplank was set up in the bow of the boat, and several people who were tightly wrapped in boxes stepped over the gangplank and came to another ship.

"This is the latest batch to be printed, and according to your request, there is £20 in addition to the £50."

Jacob opened the combination lock on the box, pulled out a few bills from inside, looked carefully at the light a few times, and swiped it a few times with the violet light.

"Excellent, my friend, you are the best money printers I have ever met."

The other party was indifferent to Jacob's praise and asked directly: "What about the money?" ”

"Oh, here." Jacob quickly pulled out two large travel bags and threw them on the ground.

The masked man at the head unzipped, grabbed a handful of banknotes and looked at it.

"Don't worry, it's all old banknotes without serial numbers." Jacob added with a smile.

"As long as it's not printed by you." The masked man snorted coldly, "What about the next batch of materials?" ”

"It's gone."

"Gone?"

"Now there is a shortage of raw materials, and we will have to wait until we have them." Jacob smiled and spread his hands.

"Then we can't print it yet?"

"The previous banknotes are enough for a while, and I'll let you know if necessary."

"Okay, Mr. Fang greets you." After saying that, the masked man turned around and jumped back to his fishing boat with two large bags.

Several of the men who were following him slowly retreated with guns in their hands, covering each other and retreating back to the ship.

The fishing boat's engine quickly started and faded into the night.

Jacob smiled as he looked at the vanished fishing boat, "Is the photo taken?" ”

"It's done."

"A few more points of printing, maybe when our friends will need it."

"No problem, sir."

"How's the tracker?"

"The tracker is working fine and the signal is very obvious."

"Keep an eye on them."

"Boss, is 5 billion enough?"

"It's enough, and it's too late, the people of the country may have sensed something and are desperately trying to increase their foreign exchange reserves."

"So, you're going to do it soon?"

"Yes, it's almost ready anyway." Jacob gave a smug smile, "Gentlemen, we're going to get rich soon!" ”

"Whew!"

There was a burst of cheers from the fishing boats, applause and whistles.

"Low-key, low-key, gentlemen, you don't want Langley to know about it." Jacob slapped his face and said, "When the banquet is over, we still have to clean up the mess, and now is not the time to celebrate." ”

"After we finish talking to the Chinese people, the beaches, sunbathing and beautiful women of the Caribbean are waiting for you."

……

"Whoa!"

Qin Yi poured the money from the two travel bags on the floor of the cabin, and the bundles of banknotes were piled up into a small mountain.

The people next to him looked at their eyes straight, and Sha Pei's eyes were shining and he rubbed his hands, "This is a fortune!" ”

"Shh , Qin Yi put his finger on his lips and motioned for everyone to be silent.

Li Xiangdong glanced at Qi Jingsheng, Qi Jingsheng nodded, turned on the radio on the table next to him, and then turned the sound to the maximum.

Qin Yi rummaged through the pile of banknotes, not even letting go of the bag.

Finally, in a roll of banknotes, he found a black plastic box with a large fingernail cover, which looked very inconspicuous, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was a part on the plastic buckle on the bag, and he handed it to Qi Jingsheng.

Qi Jingsheng took out a screwdriver and directly opened the small box, studied it for a while, and made an OK gesture.

"It's okay, it's just a signal tracker, there's no eavesdropping." Qi Jingsheng flipped the box, "Do you want to block it?" ”

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "No need to give birth to brother, how rude it is for people to eat the bait that they have finally eaten." ”

"It's not good." Li Xiangdong frowned, "We prepared a table of dishes, but there are two tables of guests, how to eat this dish?" ”

"Eat it right!" Qin Yi showed a sneer, "The more chaotic the situation is now, the better, are you still afraid of big-bellied customers when you open a restaurant?" When the time comes, a spoonful of stew, and the scapegoat is too lazy to find it. ”

Qin Yi picked up his mobile phone and dialed it out, "Jane, inform the United States that the hedge fund of the United States has started." ”

After hanging up Qin Yi, Sha Pei interjected and asked, "Elder, how do you know that they are starting to do it?" ”

"They suddenly stopped collecting pounds, they must be going to do it, and we printed 5 billion for them, which is enough to crush the central bank." Qin Yi sneered, "Jacob suddenly didn't want ammunition on the eve of the big war, what else could it be." ”

"Phew, the ghost doesn't have a good thing." Shar Pei spat hard.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, it doesn't matter, play with them." Qin Yi patted Sha Pei on the shoulder, "Brother Sha Pei, it's not time to divide the money yet, and I'll divide it when I'm done with this battle." ”

"yes, I know." Shar Pei nodded indifferently, "Then do you want to give Fuguang a penny?" ”

"Points, of course." Qin Yi showed a smile, "You always have to give some consolation prizes when you send people on the road." ”

……

Many people think that the Quantum Fund's operation is the handiwork of Soros, but in fact, the real trader and hero is Drucken Miller.

He's a legend and doesn't like to be in the limelight, so he's always been mysterious.

And Soros likes to appear in front of the camera very much, enjoying the envious eyes and words of others, so he never corrects those rumors. Instead, through various legends and rumors, he portrayed himself as a terrifying and invincible financial predator.

This is good for him, because fame is charisma, and he can gather enough sheep as a leader when it comes to attacking opponents.

The countries that were defeated by Soros were not the result of his alone, but the countless flocks of sheep that followed him, and almost no country could hold up under the trampling and squeezing.

Druckenmüller had long predicted that Germany would follow an accommodative monetary policy, which would prompt the Bundesbank to raise interest rates, and the Deutsche Mark would remain strong.

Then he set his sights on new prey, choosing to short the pound while going long the Deutsche mark.

Analysts at Quantum Fund began to try to short real estate stocks after studying real estate in the country, and they were successful.

As a result, analysts are quite sure that the pound is already at the lower limit of the European monetary system mechanism due to the high interest rates maintained in Germany, and the central bank can only maintain the pound by raising interest rates.

However, if the central bank raises interest rates, people will immediately have repayment pressure, and the money will be used to repay loans, then there will be no money to spend, and the decline in consumption will be even worse for countries in recession.

All in all, the central bank will not raise interest rates.

If the interest rate is not raised, the pound will fall against the mark, and the probability of appreciation is very low.

Druckenmiller seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bet on the Deutsche Mark and sell the pound.

At this time, there is only one problem facing various funds, and they are not sure whether the Bundesbank will compromise due to political pressure and cut interest rates in order to maintain the European financial order.

Economists and analysts from all walks of life on Hong Kong Island have pointed out that European countries have signed the "Maastricht Treaty," which paved the way for the establishment of a unified European currency, and Germany is the main promoter of this plan, and a unified Europe is Germany's dream, and Germany will not sit idly by.

In order to save the crumbling national currency, European finance ministers and central bank governors gathered to demand that Germany cut interest rates to avoid chaos in the European financial order.

The Minister of Finance of the country came to Monte to take the lead in attacking, and said to the President of the Bundesbank with a fist in his fist: "There are finance ministers of 12 countries sitting here, and everyone unanimously asks you to cut interest rates, why don't you cut them?!" ”

Bundesbank President Schlesinger's heart is like 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling by, why should Lao Tzu sacrifice himself to save you, but in the face of the aggressive finance ministers of many countries, the truth cannot be said, so he resorted to tai chi.

"Well, we don't have plans to cut rates yet, but we don't have plans to raise rates either."

In short, Germany said that this is the case, and the specific situation depends on the situation.

But in the face of a country that was already on the verge of danger, even a straw had to be grasped, and where did Venemont let go of this opportunity, and immediately understood this sentence as proof that Germany was going to compromise, and preached it everywhere.

As if they had found a savior, experts from all walks of life on Hong Kong Island repeatedly quoted the propaganda of the country to show their foresight.

Driven by this good news, Huang Chengju's bonds were finally no longer unsalable, and not only many wealthy businessmen and celebrities subscribed to them, but even citizens who claimed to be middle-class elites also bought a lot.

And across the ocean, at 888 Seventh Avenue in New York, in an office.

Soros and his partner Druckenmiller are drinking coffee and discussing the issue of the pound.

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in complaining, "George, how can you ask me directly about the pound on the phone, don't you know that the bank's phone calls are all recorded?" ”

"I'm sorry Robert, but you're going to move to me anyway, so what's the matter?"

"What's the relationship?" Robert exclaimed, "I'm going to jail!" ”

"As long as you pay your taxes on time, I promise you won't."

"Damn irs!" Robert sat next to Druckenmiller.

The three of them sat around a small table and began to plot.

Soros asked with concern on his face: "How risky is the pound?" ”

"The pound is very liquid, and even if it is wrong, it can be closed at any time, at most thanks to 0.5%."

"So how much can we earn?"

"If it plummets, then make a profit of 15 to 20 percent"

"This is a good return, what is the probability?"

"Everyone has read the report of the Harvard University economics expert team, and it is consistent with the analysis of our think tank, and the probability is 90%"

"How much does the fund invest in Xinfu Bank?"

"The leverage will be increased to 5 times."

"Is 5 times enough?"

"The country only has 22 billion pounds of foreign exchange reserves, which is equivalent to about $44 billion, and now the main buyer is the central bank of the country, and once the foreign exchange reserves of the country bottomed out, they can no longer be refilled. So the maximum size of our short position is $44 billion. ”

Druckenmiller interjected: "We can probably short $15 billion." ”

Soros suddenly showed a weird smile, "No, we should raise again, 15 billion is not enough, we can do more than 25 billion." ”

"You're crazy!" The other two were taken aback.

"The Da Yu Empire won't last long." Soros laughed, then picked up a dinner knife and sliced it the small cake in front of him.

A war without gunpowder is much more dangerous than a hot war, and Quantum Fund is not the only player who has endured.

Other hedge funds on Wall Street, major banks, are in action, and they all want to get a piece of the delicious pie.

Surrounded by wolves, all the countries of Europe have become delicious prey.

On September 8, the first cannon fodder was born - Finland.

In the wave of selling on Wall Street, Finland did not survive the first day, and the Finnish mark fell 15% on the day.

On 9 September, Sweden, the second target, fell.

Then Wall Street took aim at the Italian lira, borrowing $36 billion from Germany in advance in response to the attack.

However, this struggle did not work in the slightest.

On 11 September, the lira fell below the lower limit allowed by the exchange rate mechanism.

On September 12, Italy began negotiations on the formal devaluation of the lira. As part of the lira depreciation agreement, the Bundesbank promised to cut interest rates by 0.25%.

……

The Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Woo Kingdom has been unable to eat for the past few days, he looked at the advisers in the office, and asked with a serious face: "Gentlemen, now you tell me a clear conclusion, can the Woo Kingdom withstand it." ”

Several advisors looked at each other, discussed a few words, and finally said very optimistically that there was no problem.

"The central bank has survived August, and the shock of September can still be withstanded. And we've raised $14 billion, and the third and most important point is that the Bundesbank has started to cut interest rates, not much, but a little bit of a cut, which is a clear signal. ”

"The most important thing in the financial market is confidence, and this interest rate cut is the best booster."

I don't know if the market has confidence, but Laimont has confidence at this time, he stood up and said with a smile on his face: "I will report to the Prime Minister." ”

When he walked into the Prime Minister's office in Downing Street with a cheerful pace, he asked Prime Minister Major to report his judgment with full confidence.

"No matter what, the central bank of the country has something to kill me about the Wall Street fund!"

Prime Minister Major nodded, but he still sighed in his heart, when did the Belt Empire become like this, becoming a piece of fat and besieged.

Think about how powerful the empire of the sun never sets back then.

The realm of vigorous vitality and competition is still in front of you, but it is a pity that the sun does not set and becomes the sun.

Just as the two of them sighed, a secretary rushed into the prime minister's office.

"Prime Minister, something is wrong, we found two banknotes with the same number."

"What?!" The prime minister got up directly from his chair and shook it a few times and almost fainted.

Laimont was stunned, jumped up from his chair, and grabbed the secretary's collar, "How is it possible?" Are you mistaken? ”

"Sir, look." The secretary took out the two bills with a pale face.

Lai Monte snatched the banknote and carefully identified it, and then he found that he couldn't tell which one was a counterfeit at all, so he quickly comforted himself: "No, it can't be a counterfeit banknote, it may be a printing error in the bank." ”

"This ......," the secretary said again, "that a typographical error is almost impossible." ”

Prime Minister John Major, who had previously been Chancellor of the Exchequer, quickly came to his senses and yelled: "Hurry up and check the newly received banknotes and see if there are any more?" ”

Soon, news came out again, and there were more and more banknotes with the same number.

Prime Minister John Major looked dead, "How many are expected?" ”

"There could be billions, or billions." The secretary's voice grew lower.

The Prime Minister collapsed directly in his chair, and only one thought crossed his mind.

It's over, it's all over!

The whole six gods of Laimeng were stunned for a while, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, quickly, immediately announce the abolition of the circulation of paper banknotes with a denomination of 50 pounds, otherwise the currency of the country will collapse immediately." ”

"No!" The secretary immediately blocked Laimeng's proposal, "Mr. Laimont, you can't do this, and you must keep the news tightly sealed, once this news spreads, the entire economy of the country will be ruined." ”

Laimeng's eyes were red, "Then let the counterfeit money circulate?" ”

"It can be delayed for a while, and the news that is unfavorable to the country cannot be broken at this time!" The secretary said fiercely.

Prime Minister Major woke up at this time, his eyes were dull for a long time, and then he slowly turned to his secretary, "Then what should we do at this time, just drag it on?" ”

The secretary said with a serious face: "In the first stage, we advertised nothing. ”

"And what's next?"

"In the second stage, we said that something might happen, but we shouldn't take action, because it might damage the interests of the country."

“……”

"In the third stage, we said maybe we should act, but we couldn't do anything."

"And what about the end?"

"In the fourth phase, we said we might be able to do something at first, but now it's too late."

Prime Minister John Major looked confused and asked tentatively: "In other words, we are not doing anything now?" ”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

"May God bless the country!" Prime Minister John Major and Chancellor of the Exchequer came to Monte to start praying together.

……

The central bank opened on Monday, September 14, spending $700 million on the pound, while the pound appreciated slightly due to Germany's interest rate cut over the weekend of last week.

On September 15, Soros began to give orders for a general offensive and personally called to find a counterparty willing to buy pounds.

After the news of the Quantum Fund shorting the pound spread, the bank traders who received the Quantum Fund's sell orders also began to sell, and everyone knew that the pound could not hold on.

The pound is fast falling below the lower limit, and there are almost no buyers for the pound.

At this time, Hong Kong Island reacted more violently, and all the people who bought bonds panicked, they were selling everywhere, eager to sell the bonds.

Even a large number of bond-buying customers surrounded Changhe Group's offices and Huang's villas.

"Pay back! Pay it back! ”

"Countless merchants, pay me back my hard-earned money!"

A large number of people waved banners and shouted wildly over loudspeakers, demanding that the Huang family buy back the bonds at the original price.

Huang Chengju, who was blocked in the office, was very panicked in the face of such a momentum, and immediately called his father Huang Jiatai.

"Father, now many people are blocking the door of the company, demanding that we buy back the bonds at the original price?"

"TMD's bunch of Diao!" Huang Jiatai scolded, "There is no father and son in the mall, they are willing to gamble and lose, buy and leave, do they understand the spirit of the contract!" ”

"We have told them before that investment is risky, if you make money, you will be on it, and if you want to lose, let us be responsible, where is this kind of good thing!"

Huang Chengju wiped a handful of sweat, "Father, what about those people outside?" ”

"You want to find a way to come forward to appease them and tell them not to panic, how can something happen easily if the country is strong?"

"Good!" Huang Chengju stabilized his mind and walked out of the company gate with a few assistants.

Seeing Huang Chengju walk out, the people of Hong Kong Island rushed up together, and noisy voices surrounded Huang Chengju and his assistant.

A loud noise made his head dizzy.

"Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet! Huang Chengju grabbed a loudspeaker and shouted, "I can understand everyone's feelings, but I ask you not to panic, this is just a technical adjustment!" ”

"There is still a lot of room for bonds to appreciate! The pound appreciated yesterday, and now it's normal to have fluctuations, I have inside information, and tomorrow the pound will rise! ”

finally appeased these people, and Huang Chengju still had to deal with those rich businessmen and celebrities who bought bonds, and those people were no better than the people.

In the end, after promising a bunch of empty promises, he finally got those rich merchant lakes away.

Huang Chengju sat paralyzed on the sofa, and his strength was almost drained.

Suddenly, the secretary rushed into the office and looked at his boss with a frightened face, "Mr. Huang, watch the news quickly." ”

As he spoke, he turned on the TV, Huang Chengju glanced at the TV screen, and instantly turned pale and almost fainted.

A large number of counterfeit pound sterling notes have been found in Europe! Counterfeit banknotes may have become a rampant》

"Secretary, buy a ticket to the country immediately, now!"

Huang Chengju roared out with his last strength.

……

On September 16, this day is known as Black Wednesday.

At the opening of trading on the London Stock Exchange, the Quantum Fund shorted $20 billion in pounds, which had fallen below the lower limit of the range of the European monetary system.

The central bank began to buy pounds and intervened, buying 1 billion pounds in half an hour, but the pound exchange rate remained unchanged.

This declared the failure of central bank intervention.

Then the counterfeit pound bill incident was exposed, and the pound collapsed instantly.

At this time, Bo Guo is not losing blood, but spurting blood in the arteries, and someone is pumping blood with a high-powered pump.

John Bull lay in a pool of blood.

It is estimated that the country lost about $16 billion in the war of the century.

The Quantum Fund made a profit of $3 billion by shorting the pound.

At the same time, they are also long interest rate futures in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and short the Italian lira, with a total profit of $5 billion, and Soros will make a personal profit of $2 billion.

The seven major investment banks in the United States make a profit of $3 billion, and all kinds of hedge funds are around $5 to $1 billion.

Qin Yi's private equity fund also made a profit of $1 billion, of which Qin Yi made a personal profit of $500 million.

Well, the same as the income he received from printing money.

Therefore, the most profitable businesses are written in the criminal law, which is too correct.

After tossing around, the private equity fund only made a profit of 500 million.

You can get 500 million yuan by printing money casually, so it's better to be a thief and get money.

Oh yes.

Qin Yi patted his head, "There are still people who owe me 100 million and haven't paid it back." ”
