It's another sunny morning.

Compared to London, which is often rainy and rainy, the weather in southern Europe is too normal.

It is probably for this reason that the Greek civilization and the Roman Empire, which began in Europe, originated here.

The Excelsior Hotel Venice.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Abel yawned, grabbed his hair, and glanced at Penelope Cruz, who was clinging to his arms.

He smiled pleasantly, kissed her on the forehead, and carefully pulled out his left arm, which she was pillowed on.

The twenty-seven-year-old Spanish national treasure-level goddess is at the peak of her figure and appearance at this time.

Compared to the Anglo-Saxon race, which now occupies a mainstream position in Europe and the United States.

The Castilian race on the Iberian Peninsula is aging more slowly.

Penelope Cruz is a typical Iberian beauty, with a different style from the Ansian blonde beauty.

He likes it anyway, he wants it.

Coming down from Simmons, Able looked at the electronic clock next to him.

This is a "technology product" that has become very popular in Europe and the United States in recent years.

With a simple LED light, you can use an electronic wall clock that can display the specific time, temperature, and humidity on it.

In a few years, it will be replaced by a variety of more advanced things.

But now in 2001, it's still a novelty high-tech product.

The price is relatively expensive, which means that only high-end public places and families above the middle class can afford this kind of thing.

On this electronic clock, Abel saw that it was September 8th, seven o'clock in the morning.

However, due to the time difference, Venice is six or seven hours ahead of New York.

In other words, at this time in New York, it was only around the early morning of September 8th.

There are still three days to go.

With this in mind, he walked into the bathroom.

When he went out into the living room with a bath towel on, Doni and another female bodyguard.

As always, I took the clothes and helped him put them on.

After a brief breakfast at the Excelsior Hotel, he rushed back to the Lido mansion that he had just bought.

When they returned to the house, Annie and Jessica had not yet gotten up.

In the past two days, Aim Alammuddin, who has borne most of his firepower.

She had a good rest yesterday and woke up early today.

When Abel returned, she was playing tennis with Anne's daughter, Lulana, on the tennis court of the villa.

The sun on summer mornings in southern Europe was mild, and Abel watched the movement of beautiful girls and beauties for a while.

It didn't take long for David Jones to come over with his number two phone.

"Boss, it's a Norwegian call."

Able nodded and took it to answer.

Shiling Stad's voice came through the microphone of his mobile phone.

The Norwegian voice sounded tired, as if it had not slept all night.

"Mr. Smith. We agreed to your request. 5% of Statoil's shares, and the same 5% of Norwegian Hydrodro shares. But it has to be based on the current market value, you know what I mean?"

"Oh, of course I do." Abel said with a smile.

"So." Sling Stad's dull voice rang out.

"I understand, I understand. Wait for the good news!" Abel smiled again.

….

Sling Stader answered and hung up the phone.

Abel was holding the number two business phone, and he looked at David, "What happened to the dollar and the NOK last night?"

David immediately whispered: "Last night, international travel funds led by Soros poured $15 billion worth of Norwegian kroner into the market again. The exchange rate of the Norwegian krone against the US dollar, which fell below the 7.7 line for the first time, is now hovering around 7.7950 and could rise to 7.8 at any time."

Abel listened and nodded.

Norway is a typical export-oriented country, mainly exporting energy, seafood, and industrial products.

Although in this type of country, in many cases, currency depreciation can lead to an increase in exports.

There are certain benefits to the economy of their own country.

However, this is premised on the fact that this currency depreciation must be manageable.

Uncontrollable currency depreciation brings more than just increased exports.

Rather, the more the currency depreciates, the more exports are made, and the more wealth is plundered at home.

This is mainly due to the fact that the plate of Norway's economy is too small except for energy.

There is some heavy industry, but light industry basically needs to be imported because of climate and population problems.

Even most of the food needs to be imported from outside.

In addition to energy, in fact, this kind of economy is very similar to Han Guo and Neon.

It's just that the Norwegians are abandoned by high welfare provisions, and there is no East Asian side volume.

Currency depreciation in East Asia is not a bad thing in many cases, but if the Norwegian currency depreciates too much, the first people who can't stand it are the Norwegians who enjoy high welfare.

In terms of the affordability of currency depreciation, Norway, a high-welfare state with high national welfare, is obviously inferior to East Asia, where the king of rolls is everywhere.

Abel clicked on the contact on the second mobile phone, found Soros's phone on it, and dialed out.

The call was quickly connected, but it was Soros's secretary answering the phone.

The secretary said that Soros was still sleeping, Abel revealed his identity, and the secretary immediately went to find Soros.

A few minutes later, Abel heard Soros's tired voice coming from the microphone.

The old guy probably stayed up late last night, and he's not too young.

Being shouted so early naturally makes me a little tired.

People in their seventies are still working so hard.

Retire when it's time to retire!

"George." After hearing Soros's voice, Abel spoke directly unceremoniously: "The Norwegians have already given me benefits. 5% of the shares of Hydro and the corresponding shares of Statoil."

Soros, who was on the other end of the phone, heard these words from Abel.

The oilman, who was still a little mentally sleepy, suddenly lifted his spirits.

Soros laughed angrily, "We have worked hard for more than two months, and we have only made billions of dollars until now, and we still share it with more than a hundred people."

"Abel, you're good. You've already reaped such a big benefit without doing anything!"

Hearing Soros's words with some anger, Abel was unhurried, "No way, who told me to look more like a good person." Who told me to lead the flow of war now?"

He said politely, "George. If I want to get these shares, I'm going to get in. I'm going to start helping the Norwegians. Don't you have any ideas?"

….

"I see what you mean. But Abel, do you know what it means for you to do this?"

Soros's voice rang in the microphone of his mobile phone: "It means that you are going to be the enemy of most of the investors in the world!"

"Don't say you're so powerful." Abel was not afraid of his threats.

"If you're really that powerful. Norway has long since surrendered to you. If you were really that strong, you wouldn't have left Hong Kong Island empty-handed a few years ago! George, a lot of times you're just financial pirates who can only fight with the wind."

Soros was a little dumbfounded by what Abel said.

It's not that his eloquence and wit are inadequate.

But the timing of Abel's capture was too good.

Now Abel is holding 400,000 lots of USD/NOK FX futures.

Once he chooses to close his position, such a large amount of money will inevitably suppress the momentum of the rising USD/NOK at once.

It is very likely that in a short period of time, two months of efforts for international travel funds will be wiped out.

On the other side, he was holding a large amount of Norwegian krona

goods, if they are sold.

Then the situation that Norway can maintain now is likely to collapse in an instant.

The $80 billion he now has in his hands is not the most invested in this financial war.

But just when the two sides were deadlocked, the old force had gone to the time when the new force was not born.

No matter which side he helps when he enters at this time, the other side will be very uncomfortable, and even lose the war because of it.

The Norwegian side couldn't afford to lose, so the Norwegians made overtures to Abel first.

Even the shares of the two most important companies are willing to take out.

Soros, for his part, seems to be stronger at the moment.

But the ingredients on his side are too miscellaneous, and there are all kinds of ingredients in the international travel capital.

They don't completely listen to Soros's orders, and most of them just fish in troubled waters with Soros.

If only they could all listen to Soros's orders and do what they commanded.

Not to mention a Norway.

It is estimated that no country in the world other than the United States and financial closure can financially withstand their attacks.

The actual situation is that Soros can directly command the movement, and the funds that are willing to completely obey him are actually less than Abel!

It is precisely because of this that Soros has been unable to give Abel benefits.

Because they are not a unit, they are often competitors or enemies of each other.

Why did Soros let others benefit Abel? Why did others help Soros to benefit Abel?

So the final result is that Soros only looked for Abel once, and there was no movement after that.

The reason is that the international tour capital itself is a mess of international capital.

In a situation that seems profitable, a group of financial pirates who have gathered on the fly.

It's okay for everyone to rush to the top of the fight.

When someone is going to die, no one wants to.

In this case, Soros can't give much benefit at all, and he is not willing to give it.

Now in the face of Abel's blackmail, all Soros can do is threaten and try to keep Abel from playing.

"Are you really going to die?" Soros's voice continued to sound.

….

"Am I not informing you? George, for the sake of our good relationship, I think that by informing you first, we can avoid a change in the color of our friendship."

Soros would love to say what friendship do we have?

There is no friendship between financial giants.

If you can, every financial giant wants to bite a big piece of flesh on the other's body!

Finance, a field that is mostly a zero-sum game, can't have real allies!

Some are just fake allies who are temporarily united by interests.

"In that case, we'll have to talk about the exchange rate between the dollar and the NOK." Soros, who can't get benefits, or should say that he doesn't want to take out benefits himself, said in a deep voice.

"Is that your feedback?" Good, George. Then when I take the Norwegian shares, I can also take them with peace of mind."

"Goodbye!"

Abel hung up the phone first.

In a hotel in the City of London, with a "snap", Soros smashed the mobile phone in his hand to pieces.

His secretary didn't say a word, and silently stepped forward to clean up.

After a while, the secretary found the special mobile phone card of the mobile phone, and then put the mobile phone card into a new mobile phone.

silently handed the new mobile phone back to Soros, who was full of anger.

Soros took the phone, made a direct call and went out, and then went into the bathroom to wash.

When he came out, the secretary heard him still talking.

「. Yes. That little Dixie clearly knew something. I was fooled just now, I'm so angry."

"I should have pretended to agree to his terms and put it off for a few more days. then

If he wants to do it again, he won't be able to say much."

"But it probably won't be able to drag it out. If he knew something, he wouldn't have misjudged my words."

"Yes, yes. But who would have thought that Norway would be so resilient? I thought I would be able to end the battle in a month and a half at most!"

"What to do? Retreat. It's not that we're afraid of him. It's that our time has dragged on for too long, and the best time has passed. Let's stop and wait and see."

While making constant phone calls, Soros walked out of the hotel.

Abel was more direct, and he made a phone call.

The headquarters of Smith Capital in London, England and New York, USA, immediately began to massively liquidate their long positions in USD/NOK.

By noon that day, the NOK, which had already broken through 7.8, quickly fell back to the 7.7 line.

After discovering the large-scale liquidation of Smith Capital.

Many people are aware that Smith Capital is ready to leave.

It left the scene at this time, and it was obviously playing against the international tour capital led by Soros.

Originally, everyone thought that they would see a good show in the Norwegian krone next.

The undefeated new financial god since his debut, and Soros, the sword of Wall Street, and international travel capital are fighting against each other.

However, in the evening, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.

That is, a day has passed, and Soros has not done anything at all.

The Wall Street oilman financial tycoon sat back and watched the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone, which was finally beaten down by them, fall to the 7.7 line.

….

Many people are speculating that Soros did not move, perhaps he and Abel reached some agreement.

As a result, part of the international travel funds that followed Soros were gone.

Soros himself did not come forward, and this part of the tour capital came out to do it himself.

The next day, the confrontation officially began, and the NOK was once again pulled back to the 7.7950 line.

By the end of the day, the NOK remained at the 7.7550 line.

Yesterday and today, for two consecutive days, Soros's side was unusually calm.

In the past two days, Abel also signed agreements with Norwegian Petroleum Fund and Norges Bank Investment Management Co., Ltd.

Pacific Energy of the United States acquired 10% and 5% of Statoil for $1 billion and $500 million, respectively.

These shares are all preferred shares.

The so-called preferred stock, which is more common than ordinary stock, is voted on within the company.

The voting rights are only one-tenth of that of common shares, or even none at all.

To put it simply, preferred shares are generally shares that do not have voting rights.

Since important voting rights have been lost, there will of course be compensation in other areas.

Preferred shares without voting rights will have the right of preference when dividends are paid.

That is to say, when the company pays dividends, the preferred shares can get the money the fastest.

For example, most of the shares of Wall Street's giants in Hanguo are preferred shares.

This is also the reason why Lee Jae-seong's stake in the family is so low, but he is still able to take the helm of the Saung Group.

Because of his little stake, he almost has the most voting rights.

It's just that the money earned basically doesn't fall into their own pockets, and most of it goes to the mouths of Wall Street giants.

So a lot of times, the Han consortium looks rich, but it's actually poor.

So later, after Lee Jae-xi's death, when his children were forced to pay inheritance tax, they had to sell a large number of shares in exchange for cash, which could be used to pay inheritance tax.

It's not that they don't value these shares, it's that they really don't have any money, and the lack of money here refers to cash.

Whoever calls the company's profits, most of them are taken by foreigners

It's gone.

In fact, this is the case with most of the Hanguo Group.

All the chaebols gained was power and influence in the Southern Peninsula.

The lion's share of the real profits is all given to foreigners.

This is also the reason why the chaebols, who seem to be making money, often seem stingy.

It's not that they want to be stingy, it's that they really don't have much money!

It's because more than 90% of the money earned by these giant companies and the money used for dividends is given to Wall Street.

The two 5 per cent shares given by Norway are also such shares.

The majority of the shares in the two companies are 51% owned by the Norwegian government.

The rest is in the hands of the local Norwegian capitalists.

Abel also knew that he would not be able to annex the two Norwegian companies.

He wants the 5% stake, mainly to increase his voice in Europe.

As the largest oil producer in Europe other than Maozi, Norway has a certain say in Europe even if it does not join the EU.

In addition, selling oil is the easiest industry to make money.

This 5% stake to the skyrocketing oil prices in the future.

Abel knew that he would be able to recoup his capital in two or three years at most.

….

The back is that every young man can easily get dividends.

He is not short of this money, but it can be put into the family fund family office.

This kind of stable long-term income is the most suitable industry for family offices.

So even if it's a preferred stock, that's a good thing for him.

He agreed, and the deal was done.

And by this time, the time has come to September 10th.

Soros is still silent-

In fact, it is not quiet, if anyone can see through Soros's disguise.

It can be found that since the 8th, Soros has been quietly leaving.

By the 10th, more than half of the funds of Soros and his true allies had been withdrawn.

The market is still fighting Norway and Abel.

There are only those international travel funds that have made too much money with Soros in the past few years.

So on the 10th, there was no backbone of international travel funds, and gradually some people began to retreat.

The 7.7 line, which had been maintained for two days, also began to be broken.

Wait until the evening of September 10, European time.

Smith Capital, which is frantically unwinding, has closed all the USD/NOK positions in his hand.

And instead of the Norwegian government and the Norwegian Petroleum Fund, the market frantically bought Norwegian kroner spot.

It was noon on September 11, European time.

Smiths Capital already holds 600 billion of spot NOK in stock, making it one of the largest NOK holders in the market.

At this time, the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone against the US dollar has also fallen back to the 7.6950 line.

Milan, Italy.

As an internationally renowned fashion capital, the largest number of fashion shows here every year are all kinds of clothing catwalks.

At the beginning of September this year, Milan welcomed the angels from Elizabeth's Back Garden Company in New York.

After nearly half a year of brewing, Isha finally mustered up the courage to head into Europe.

The first stop was in Milan.

For a week, Isha and its collaborators walked the catwalk in Milan for a week.

Elizabeth's twenty-five contracted models worked hard for a week.

This time, Isha has big goals.

The company will walk the catwalk in Europe for two months in a row, covering Milan, Paris, London, and Berlin.

Fortunately, the week's catwalk is over.

The models then have a week or two off and then go to Paris to fight again.

Elizabeth the Angel of Abel

Finally, we can take a good rest.

Noon European time.

There is such a secluded area on the outskirts of Milan.

It is built on the hill and has a beautiful and huge Italian-style wooden villa, and the higher you go, the better the view.

This is a spa villa designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.

Speaking of hot springs, earthquakes are frequent in Italy due to their location in seismic zones.

Of course, there are many bad side effects, but there are also some small benefits in many parts of Italy.

For example, as in the neon cupboard, there are many hot springs in Italy.

In Europe, Italy is famous as the land of hot springs.

There are many well-known hot springs in Milan, such as storm hot springs, hot springs and ski resort hot springs.

….

The wooden building designed by Master Renzo Piano has its own temperature zone inside.

It is half indoors and half outdoor, and the outdoor part is built in the open air, on a high place.

During the snow season, you can enjoy the snow while soaking in the hot water and looking down on the city of Milan below.

Inside, there are several bedrooms that are directly connected, including the master bedroom.

Master Renzo Piano, with a wooden sliding door with a bit of neon, divides the bedroom into a living room.

The entire main room has enough windows and enough space to enjoy the change of light and shadow.

At this time, on the outdoor terrace, the hot springs made of smooth stones are constantly steaming, fighting against the cool temperature of the mountains, and the wind is ethereal, and the nearby forest can almost enjoy the colors of the entire outskirts of Milan.

Dada-da

"Huh"

After a strenuous workout not long ago, Gisele Bundchen went back indoors to rest for a long time.

As the leader of Elizabeth Angel, coupled with the famous bear beauty characteristics, there is also the spirit of a king on the stage.

She is often the first to be exported.

It is logical that he is the first to get tired.

Now that she had rested and had a bite to eat, Giselle Bundchen, dressed in a three-point bikini, jumped into the thermal pool, where she swam to the outdoor part of the pool.

Not surprisingly, she saw her colleagues outside the open-air hot spring pool, in the rippling hot spring water.

And her boss.

In the rippling hot spring pool, Gisele Bundchen felt a little resentful.

It's another one-vs twenty-five.

This boss is not afraid of a broken waist!!
