There is one country that borders the Strait of Malacca, with an area of just over 700 square kilometers, and ranks first in the world in terms of urban infrastructure.

It is known by many as New Jiapo, formerly known as Sin Chew or Star Island, also known as the Lion City, in Southeast Asia.

It's located 85 miles north of the equator, and although it's important to watch out for the winter monsoon season, the tropical climate means it has beach days year-round.

Despite its proximity to world-class beach destinations such as Thai. China and India. Denisia.

But Xinjiapo's own beach coast is sometimes overlooked.

Located 16 kilometres from the city, Siloso Beach is known as the most beautiful beach in New Kapo, full of bars and restaurants.

On weekdays, Siloso Beach is bustling with people from morning to night.

But in the past few days, there has not been a single customer in Siloso Beach, and even the bars and restaurants have closed.

The authorities of New Jiapo claimed that there was some problem with the beach at Siloso Beach and that the authorities needed to fix it, so it was closed for a few days.

The timing of the reopening is yet to be determined.

However, at the moment, it should have been closed on Siloso Beach, in a seaside estate among coconut groves.

Abel wore beach shorts and sunglasses, lying on a deck chair, blowing the sea breeze in the setting sun, listening to the rustle of the dense coconut leaves, looking at the blue sea, soaring eagles, and the beautiful scenery made him feel comfortable.

Today is April Fool's Day, April 1st.

It has been a few days since he left Hong Kong Island and came to Xinjiapo.

A few days on Hong Kong Island. Although the Chinese culture on Hong Kong Island is somewhat inauthentic, it is mixed with a lot of Westernized impurities.

But he still experienced a trace of Chinese elements that are difficult to experience in the United States, even in Chinatown.

This can barely be regarded as comforting a small part of the nostalgia in his soul.

So after that dinner at 26 Garden Road, he left Hong Kong Island the next day.

During the period, it passed through Thailand. After two days in Siam, he arrived in Singa Po.

In Xinjiapo, Abel originally planned to stay for a day or two at most.

Because for him, this projectile land is really not attractive.

It wants nothing but a Straits of Malacca and a stock market of decent size.

In other respects, it is difficult to describe the lack of resources.

A place where even water had to be supplied by Malayhia, and even most of the electricity came from that side.

There really isn't much to covet other than its very good strategic position.

And it is very similar to Han Guo and Neon, there are US military bases stationed, and the key points are in the hands of the United States.

Generally speaking, in this kind of place, the people of the United States are coming, and that is the people of Xinjiapo......

No, the night of Abel's arrival in Xinjiapo.

I made a special trip to visit him.

At that time, Abel happened to be hosting two Americans working in Xinjiapo.

One of these two men was Benjamin de Theural and the other was Ellis Parker Butler.

The one in front was the U.S. envoy to Po.

Ellis Parker Butler is currently the commander-in-chief of the U.S. 7th Fleet and one of the main leaders of the Zhangyi base.

Leader Li was at Abel's place, and when he saw these two, he was naturally surprised and taken for granted in his heart.

Because the envoy Benjamin de Séural was himself the American envoy to Poe who had been reappointed after the bushes had moved into the White House.

As for Ellis Parker Butler, he's a Texan.

These two will visit Abel who is passing by, and Leader Li thinks it is too easy to understand.

That evening, everyone had a great time.

And at Abel's place, knowing that Abel was really just passing by, he was not going to show his face in public, and he was going to leave in a few days.

Leader Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't come to make trouble.

So the authorities chose to open the door to Abel in all aspects.

So much so that Siloso Beach, a famous tourist attraction of this new Jiapo, is one of the favorite places for foreigners to visit.

All because of someone's arrival, it was temporarily closed for a few days, and the closure time is to be determined.

Open whenever someone is leaving.

And doing this is just to let someone experience the pure beauty of Xinjiapo.

The sun basked for a while, and the sea breeze blew for a while.

As the sun set, Abel returned to the villa, and after he washed down, he came to a large room in the manor.

I saw that in the room, dozens of computers were arranged, and there were dozens of blonde and blue-eyed European and American people, who were sitting in front of each computer and were busy.

David Mellon, president of Smith Financial Group and CEO of Smith Capital, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation in New York, was constantly shuttling through the crowd in the room.

】

When the boss came in, the other personnel ignored it and continued their work.

David Mellon, who was staring at a monitor, got up and walked in front of Abel.

"Oh, Your Majesty~ You came just in time."

The heir of the New York Mellon family, his eyes are slightly red, his hair is a little messy, but his spirit is very excited.

"Like you said, those people...... Those rotten enemies, they chose to go long! ”

David said in a loud voice.

More than a year ago, Abel defeated the alliance of several major investment banks in New York from the front.

David, who participated in the whole process, and the older employees of Smith Capital, worshipped Abel a little crazy.

Calling Abel their king, engaging in feudal idolatry in the company.

This kind of worship has also become the characteristic corporate culture of Smith Capital.

Abel was against it at first, but David was uplifted.

They say, any powerful investment bank or financial firm on Wall Street with a long history.

Almost all of them have their own unique culture.

For example, on a certain day every year, everyone will collectively respond. Calling a woman. Lang, the company will also give reimbursement......

Some of them are the third day of the third week of each month, which is the day of collective fitness for the whole company......

On a certain day in a certain month, all employees change into women's clothes; Some of them will bring food to the company to share and so on one day.

In short, each has its own characteristics. David felt that the existence of Smith Capital was entirely based on Abel alone.

That Abel is to Smith Capital like a virtuous king in ancient times.

In ancient Europe, the strength of a country often depended only on the virtuous king.

Then Smith Capital should respect Abel as much as he respects King Xian.

Coupled with a little bit of sycophancy, this culture was eventually formed.

Now, after Smith Capital merged with other Texas financial companies and evolved into Smith Financial Group.

David and other smiths are trying to expand this corporate culture, which originally belonged to Smith Capital, to the culture of the entire financial group.

The Texans, on their part, naturally resisted this.

They admired Abel, but they had never seen Abel's operation.

It's not like Smith Capital, which relied on Abel to start the whole process.

The two sides are currently wrestling.

And Abel ...... Of course he supported David and them.

Not to mention that this side is his descendant.

The mere feeling of being adored can be addictive.

What's more, both Abel himself and the think tanks of the Smith Intelligence Group believe that this kind of corporate culture will help strengthen Abel's influence in the Smith Financial Group.

If it can spread, it can even affect the entire Texas consortium.

It can be cool, and it can strengthen control and influence, how can Abel not support it.

"I'll look at ......"

After listening to David's words, Abel walked in front of several large screens.

The top half of these large screens display real-time global economic news and Masashi news.

Half of the information is shown in the various foreign exchange and futures markets around the world.

There's a reason why Abel isn't in a hurry to leave Xinjiapo, whom he doesn't think much of, these days.

On the day he left Hong Kong Island, his talent forewarned of something.

Someone, a very powerful person or force, is eyeing him.

This caused Abel to change his itinerary.

He had wanted to arrive directly at Xinjiapo.

But because of this early warning, he deliberately went to Thailand. country for two days.

In Thailand. During his stay in the kingdom, David in New York received an order from Abel.

David then led a group of Smith Capital's earliest elite operators to leave New York and arrive at Xinjiapo one step ahead of Abel.

Abel asked them to temporarily build a financial safe house here in Xinjiapo.

That's why these people are here and why David is here.

From the beginning of last month.

Abel asked Smith Capital to slowly establish yen position contracts in the foreign exchange market, as well as spot gold futures contracts.

A few days ago, Abel arrived in Xinjiapo.

On his orders, traders officially began to open positions and short USD/JPY.

Stand in front of the big screen showing the market.

Abel sees that USD/JPY has reached the 125.380 level.

Talent told Abel that this position is currently a very good opportunity to go short USD/JPY in the short term.

The bull market in USD/JPY in the second half of 2001 has come to an end and is now in the highest zone.

In terms of fundamentals, the direction of USD/JPY is significant.

The possibility of the Neon Central Bank and the Neon Government continuing to depreciate the yen, thereby boosting domestic exports, is very small.

Moreover, the effect of currency depreciation on export-oriented economies is relative and unsustainable.

On the one hand, while neon companies enjoy the competitiveness of commodity prices brought about by the depreciation of their local currency, they also need to bear the increasingly expensive imported raw materials and energy.

Therefore, the excessive depreciation of the local currency will bring about the increasingly narrowing of the value-added space of export enterprises in the industrial chain.

USD/JPY is still in the bullish arrangement of the moving average at the moment, and the daily K-line of USD/JPY has appeared 5 small white candles in a row, these are all small white candlesticks, and they are all dragging a long tail on them, and the upward trend is slowly becoming smaller.

To put it bluntly, the strength to support the growth of USD/JPY is getting smaller and smaller at the moment.

USD/JPY is expected to plunge in the future, and now is a good time to open a short position.

"The question is...... The character who is eyeing me this time is very unusual! ”

Abel said secretly in his heart.

Abel, who is already informed by his talent, knows who his opponent is.

At this time, he had the feeling that the Shilipo Sword God who had just left the novice village had met one of the ultimate villains in the game.

I know that I am strong, but because I am facing one of the strongest ultimate villains.

While you feel confident that you can defeat the other person, it is difficult to avoid the feeling of apprehension in your heart.

Fortunately, the continuous victories have allowed Abel to build a strong psychological defense line.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, let alone the Shilipo Sword God who has just emerged from the novice village!

suppressed the trace of apprehension in my heart, and then more anticipation appeared.

It is the expectation of colliding and confronting one of the most powerful financial powers in the world.

"Whew-"

Abel exhaled, and the talent continued to kick in.

Now USD/JPY is starting to build a top, at least in the first half of 2002.

The whole candlestick pattern is also brewing a large evening star pattern.

The Evening Star pattern appears in an uptrend and is composed of three more candlesticks. The first is a bullish candle, the second is a doji, and the third is a black candle. The third candlestick body goes deep into the first candlestick body.

It's also the perfect opportunity to open a short position.

Over this time, Smith Capital has built up 200,000 short hands.

Especially in recent days, every time a position has been opened to test the highest level of USD/JPY.

Because it was those people who were facing it, Abel only asked the traders to short one or two thousand lots at a time.

Only when he personally appears and directs the transaction in person, will the number of shots become larger and more numerous.

At present, on Abel's side, the average position is 125.300, which makes Abel still in a floating loss state.

A short position of 200,000 contracts of USD/JPY fluctuates by one point to $2 million, and the current loss of Abel is about $40 million.

The $40 million was just a drizzle for Abel, and he didn't care about it at all.

What's more, floating losses are the same as floating profits, as long as you don't close the position, it is a floating cloud.

Abel knows that if you open a position now, you can't open too much, too fast, and if you short a short order of hundreds of thousands of USD/JPY at one time, it is estimated that the market will not be able to digest it, and it is easy to cause USD/JPY to plummet.

Abel didn't want to do this, so he slowly shorted at a high level and ate as much as possible in the highest area.

At the same time, be wary of the other party's operations.

Betting against these people, one cannot expect the USD/JPY pair to be honest.

If there is really a problem with the bet, he believes that those people dare to use the means.

This is also the reason why as soon as he came to Xinjiapo, he asked someone to bring Ellis Parker Butler and Benjamin de Theural, and even the local Li Chieftain.

Benjamin and Ellis both have a strong background in the Texas consortium and are considered their own people.

Leader Li is the head snake of the land.

The contact with these three people is that Abel wants to avoid some kind of dog jumping over the wall that the opponent may have during the period of Xinjiapo.

In fact, if he could, Abel would like to go back to the United States now.

It's just that the gambling has already begun, and at this time, the journey back to the United States has begun to become dangerous.

That's why Abel didn't run around and chose to stay in Xinjiapo temporarily.

It was 6:30 p.m. on April 1.

Seeing that the current USD/JPY has once again rushed to the 125.400 level, Abel immediately ordered the operators to short 10,000 lots of USD/JPY.

This immediately knocked USD/JPY down by 5 points before it was supported, and then USD/JPY began to oscillate.

After 5 minutes, he rushed up again, and Abel chose to short 10,000 lots again and suppress it again.

And so back and forth, many times and so on, USD/JPY could no longer rush above the 125.400 level.

At the moment, it is oscillating above the 125.300 level, but the support is still strong at the 125.400 level.

Seeing this situation, as well as the next operation of the other party with the talent warning, Abel sneered:

"Since you haven't tested where the highest point is. Then it's up to me to make one. 125.400, this is the position set for you by this big short. The ultimate villain, no one is afraid of the Shilipo Sword God! ”

Just now, Abel was short 60,000 lots of USD/JPY at the 125.400 level.

Currently, Smith Capital holds a total of 260,000 short positions in USD/JPY.

At eight o'clock, when USD/JPY was falling, Abel seized the opportunity and shorted 5,000 lots of USD/JPY again.

Suddenly, USD/JPY fell by two pips again, and then was supported again at 125.350.

Abel immediately continued to increase his short position by 5,000 lots, and immediately USD/JPY failed to gain a foothold at 125.350.

After a little more than ten minutes, USD/JPY slipped many pips and reached the 125.300 level.

Abel smiled and continued to short USD/JPY.

……

……

Different time zones at the same time.

When the night of Xinjiapo completely falls.

It's daylight in New York.

Manhattan, inside the trading department of the Chase Bank, a unique office.

Younger, more energetic John Chris was there.

The head of the Mogun family watched as the USD/JPY fell again.

At the moment it has fallen to the 125.300 level.

He had been watching it for a few hours, and couldn't help but say:

"It's kind of outrageous. Why is the opposite just right every time? James, it seems like your deal has been targeted every time. ”

Not long ago, Mahogon and Rockphile, who failed in the "showdown", saw that Abel did not cooperate.

The two sides decided to break Smith's undefeated golden body and force Abel to negotiate with them and force Abel to accept their terms.

After he and David decided together, the operation began.

Of course, the specific work of market making and trading, buying and selling, etc., naturally does not need to be done by the two of them.

As the core of a large group, all John and David need to do is make up their minds and make good decisions.

Then contact other allies to persuade or use other means to get allies to support their decision.

Wait for everyone to agree and let their will be issued.

Then the huge consortium machine, the relevant part will naturally start to operate.

After that, all they need to do is keep an eye on the market, and be ready to fight back against each other's off-board and intra-market moves at any time.

Or come up with useful off-board and in-board moves to hit the opponent and thus increase the win rate on your side.

Because it has just begun, there are no external moves between the two sides.

Or the real confrontation, in fact, has just begun at this time, and it is not yet the time for the fierceness.

David has less energy, and John Criss has more energy.

John Chris came over to the trading room today.

As a result, I saw the marketing department of Megane Chase, and in the confrontation with the other party, he was almost completely at a disadvantage in the past few hours.

Seeing the head boss questioning like this.

James Robinson, the head of the trading department of Makan Chase and one of the presidents of Chase Bank, was sweating profusely at the moment.

James Robinson previously worked at Citibank.

In April 1998, the stunning merger of Citigroup and Travelers Group created a precedent for mixed business operations on Wall Street.

In that upheaval, James Robinson and his boss, Jamie Dimon, were shuffled out in a reshuffle of power.

Jamie Dimon then went to First Bank of America as CEO.

James Robinson originally wanted to follow, but was introduced to the side of the Chase Bank.

Because of his outstanding investment skills, James Robinson has risen several positions in the past few years on the side of Morgunda, and now serves as director of marketing and president of the bank.

This top investment banker has earned more than $2 billion in net profits for the company every year for the past three years.

I didn't know how to explain it to John Criss.

Because just now, in the hours that John Criss was watching.

James Robinson makes a trading decision every time he targets Smith Capital.

Almost all of them were solved at the first time, and they were also returned by the counter-general.

The details are complex and difficult for non-industry insiders to understand.

To put it simply, the two armies are fighting.

James Robinson is the Blues and opposite the Greens.

Every time the Blues made a little move, they didn't even get the results, and they didn't even shoot the bullets. Get out.

As a result, the Greens reacted at the speed of light, leaving the Blues blocked without even a chance to pull the trigger.

To put it more simply, James Robinson is playing games like War3 and Red Alert.

At the beginning of the game, when everyone is out of sight.

On the other side, it was as if the whole picture was opened, and it was aimed at James Robinson step by step at the beginning.

The point is that John Chris is watching from behind him.

James Robinson, the chief trader, was naturally nervous when he asked him this, and he naturally broke out in a cold sweat.

Is there a spy on my side?

Otherwise, why is the other party's prediction so accurate every time?

It's so uncomfortable! James Robinson was a little flustered.

Looking at James Robinson's sweaty appearance, John Criss frowned.

After thinking for a moment, John Criss said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll make a call." ”

A few minutes later, James Robinson saw John Criss walking back.

The head of the Mahogon family said with some excitement and curiosity in his tone:

"My intelligence shows that Abel Smith is now operating it himself! James, the person who made you so uncomfortable just now is the investment god of Wall Street! ”

His voice was a little demagoguery, but at the same time he was encouraging James Robinson.

"Can you succeed in killing gods, can you become the CEO of Mahogon Chase? James, it's up to you to beat Smith head-to-head. It's a great opportunity, and David and I will be behind you. ”
