Chapter 450: The real confrontation begins

Looking into John Criss' expectant eyes.

James Robinson, whose back was covered with cold sweat, was stunned, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

yes, if I could defeat Abel Smith once in a head-to-head confrontation.

Defeat the Wall Street tycoon who has gradually gained the title of "God of Investment".

Wouldn't I, James, be able to take his place?

The god-killer is replaced by the new god of investment.

This possibility, just thinking about it, made James Robinson's adrenaline start to secrete wildly.

"I ...... I understand. ”

James' eyes grew wild, and at the same time became determined.

"Trust me, Mr. Morgun."

James Robinson began to ask for support from John Chrills, "I'm going to beat this lucky kid." I'm sure he won't be so lucky every time! ”

It has been playing since 1999, when Abel made a name for himself on Wall Street.

On Wall Street, one of the world's most intelligent human groups, the study of Abel has never stopped.

Wall Street studies Abel's investment style,

Research Abel's investment experience,

Review of Abel's every investment operation,

Even study every hobby, every little detail of Abel.

The entire Wall Street, from the past to the present, has never been less in number than the elite people who are staring at Abel's research.

They are like every American, and indeed everyone in the world, who knows the trajectory of Abel Smith's success.

They all want to study Abel in order to figure out why Abel's deal succeeds every time.

They wanted to know what it was that allowed Able to defeat different opponents one at a time.

What is it that allows Abel to operate in a different style every time, but the result is always the same.

James Robinson is one of them.

In the two years of 99-01, he studied Abel's trading experience in the market.

Although, like everyone else on Wall Street, nothing has been studied.

But James thinks he knows Abel very well.

Because he even knows that Abel is in the market, how many times in total he has operated!

"Of course I support you. James, I believe in you. David believes in you, too, and let it go. ”

John Chris said with a smile.

What if it doesn't support it? Now that we've decided to give Smith a little color, take a look.

And James Robinson is one of the best traders in the camp.

So at this time, John Chris them, in addition to supporting James Robinson, there are a few other traders in other places.

John Criss knows that the only thing he and David can give is all-round support such as funds and intra-market and off-board moves.

Because in terms of extremely technical operations on the front, he and David are not as good as James' gang.

Seeing John Chris make such a promise, James Robinson's confidence was greatly enhanced.

"15,000 hands!"

Inside the trading room of the Morgun Chase.

James Robinson suddenly shouted to the other operators:

"Boys, 10x leverage, buy with the first 100 accounts of Group A and Group B, long 15,000 lots of USD/JPY. Also, let's get our marketing department and publicity department moving, we're going to give that little cowboy from Texas a little color and see!! ”

Because of the Mogun and Rockphile standing behind it, Morgun Chase has a very strong authority in the market since the merger two years ago.

It took Bloomberg and Dow Jones decades and hundreds of years to accumulate industry prestige.

The Mahogon Chase has been owned since its inception.

Its marketing department and propaganda department can have a great impact on the market by publishing news and news on the economy and business.

In addition to the head-to-head confrontation in the foreign exchange market.

James Robinson: This is to mobilize the forces of Mahogon Chase and other relevant parties.

It is hoped that through this method, which can be regarded as an intraday move, it will target Abel Smith in the hope that it will affect the USD/JPY market.

Thus a situation is formed in favor of the bulls, that is, on their side.

Watch James quickly recover and make the most correct decision.

John Criss nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, the head of the Mahogon family still thinks that Abel's successful experience has a very big luck attribute and gambler nature.

In fact, this view is also very common among the successful financial elites of Wall Street and even the global financial community.

Looking at Abel Smith, since the end of 1999 to the fore.

In the first two years, almost every transaction he made in the market was a gambler's operation.

The leverage multiplier is high every time, the fluctuation is too large each time, and the profit is very large every time.

He is like a gambler, in two years, with tens of thousands of dollars at the beginning, in foreign exchange, gold, futures and other financial markets, crazy betting, crazy profits.

Once or twice is fine, every time it is like this, many elites in the financial world believe that there are only two situations in which this guy can do this.

The first case is that this kid can predict the prophet, the prophet and the god of prophecy in the investment and financial world.

It's so, unless there really is God, most people don't believe in it.

And those who play finance and investment, if they really believe in the existence of God, they will not really make a lot of money and reach the top of the industry.

Which financial tycoon doesn't have blood on his hands?

Warmongers need to kill people with weapons, and financial tycoons don't need these to kill people.

If there really is a merciful God, the first to be punished are the financiers.

Really climb to the top guys, especially in the financial world.

On the surface, there are many devout believers among them, but in reality no one believes in the existence of God.

Therefore, there are very few people who believe in the first possibility.

The second possibility is that this kid has a good talent and is very, very, very, very lucky.

The earth is big, and there are many people in the world.

Most people are ordinary, but in the base of a huge number of human beings.

Even the most serious scientists can't deny that some lucky people are deeply favored by Lady Luck.

In Croatia, for example, there is an ordinary music teacher named Fran Serak.

Miraculously escaped death many times throughout his life.

Including falling out of a plane flying in the sky, driving into a cliff, and nearly drowning in an icy river.

According to statistics, he has avoided a total of 7 death-bound disasters similar to "The Grim Reaper".

Not only that, Fran Serac also won the lottery twice, once for £600,000 and once for £1.06 million......

And it's not just Fran Serac alone, there are many lucky people like this.

There was an Englishman named Matthew MacDonald, who was not as lucky as Fran Serrac, but not low.

His experience began when he was 13 years old and was struck by lightning for the first time, and by the time he was 50 years old, he was struck by lightning a total of five times in 37 years......

And not dead yet.

Being struck by lightning is particularly unlucky, as fewer people win the lottery and get more than $100,000 a year in the world.

If you are struck by lightning and don't die, that is to reverse bad luck into super luck.

However, this guy was hacked 5 times and didn't die......

I don't know if it's bad luck or luck.

If this is replaced by an ancient Chinese cultivator, this guy will be the existence of the TM five successful tribulations, and he is even greater than the Da Luo Jin Immortal.

There are many such lucky ones, and there are a few of them every year.

Their experience is much more outrageous than Abel's two years of investment and trading.

The vast majority of Wall Street people who have studied Abel believe that Abel's success is due to his excellent talent coupled with keen financial intuition and super luck.

The first two are available to many successful Wall Street people.

It's just that these people can't last, and they usually disappear after a few years.

Since there are already so many people, it used to be like this.

Naturally, there will be many people who think that Abel is also such a short-lived genius.

Even if he's in a high position now.

There are too many examples of this in the history of mankind.

Mustache awesome, right?

An art student who failed to make the list made most of the world tremble under his beard, but he failed in the end.

In business, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the richest man in the United States at the time, had a monopoly on 90% of the railroads in the United States at its peak.

When he died before 1877, his fortune was only $105 million, but it accounted for 1/87 of the GDP of the United States at that time.

But now?

The Vanderbilt family didn't even have a voice anymore.

A small fraction barely survived the middle class, and many even lived in slums altogether.

The planet is huge, and there are too many individuals of the human race.

It is not surprising that there are any freaks, wonders, geniuses, heroes, and heroes in it.

Legends such as Abel Smith have a very outrageous experience, but they are still in the understanding of the vast majority of elites.

Since it can be understood, it is inevitable that there are some geniuses and elites who feel that they can defeat Abel or even replace him.

James, who is crazy about adrenaline secretion, is now one of these people.

John Chris actually has this mentality.

Therefore, the real, invisible war between the two sides has officially begun.

U.S. time, April 2, 2002, 9 a.m.

The Wall Street Journal published an article by Makon Chase about the future economic development of Neon.

Chase Bank believes that the neon bubble of the '90s has exhausted all of the country's development potential.

Now in the new century, it is not easy for neon to ensure the proportion of GDP in the world.

Therefore, Chase Bank will not buy Japanese bonds again in the future, but will continue to sell the Japanese bonds they currently have.

As soon as this argument came out, the Japanese debt selling rate increased by 13% month-on-month that morning.

As a result, the yen's exchange rate began to oscillate downward.

The US dollar has risen against the Japanese yen, and the USD/JPY currency has strengthened its bullish bias.

On that day, the time zone East 9th District, Neon Tokyo was eight o'clock in the evening.

Neon, Tokyo.

Neon Bridge, Naka-ku, Tokyo, is home to the headquarters of Neon Bank, the central bank of the world's second-largest economic powerhouse.

That night, in the Neon Bank Building.

One of the Special Economic Action Groups, Kuroda's office.

Akihiko Kuroda, the leader of the group from a famous family, with bloodshot eyes and thick dark circles, was looking at the computer screen in front of him.

“…… Yaga! These hateful rice animals, this is using our neon currency and national debt as a battlefield! ”

The tortuous yen exchange rate line chart made Kuroda Akihiko feel very bad.

"Kuroda-sama, are we still waiting to see what happens? The yen looks like it is going to fall, and just now the monitoring team found that the rice livestock side bought another 16,000 lots. At the same time, their opponents bought 14,000 short lots to launch a hedge. Now on the Forex market, there are already more than 1.5 million positions in USD/JPY. ”

A small leader of Akihiko Kuroda's economic task force reported to Akihiko Kuroda with an A4 piece of paper faxed out of a fax machine.

The yen has been a big plate in the foreign exchange market since the 70s and is one of the main safe-haven currencies internationally.

The plate is large enough, and most of the time the stock of yen futures contracts is more than 800,000 lots.

Compared to other currencies other than the US dollar, the plate is much larger.

But now, in 36 hours, the number of positions has reached 1.5 million lots, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

"Yaga, Hayami-sama and Kuroda-sama, let us wait and see what happens. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see! ”

Although I really want to join the battle.

But Kuroda Akihiko understands that if the boss doesn't allow it, he will mess around.

That possible consequence, even his own brother may not be able to save himself.

What's more, his brother Fuyuhiko Kuroda is now only the vice president of Neon Bank.

In the near future, he may also be transferred to the Ministry of Finance and Ministers to serve as the president of the Asian Development Bank.

Although for the elder brother, this transfer is a promotion.

But for Kuroda Akihiko himself.

Brother leaves Neon Bank. Kuroda Akihiko's own voice inside the neon bank had to be lowered a few points.

After all, the county officials are not as good as the current management. The vice president of Neon Bank is much more manageable than the president of the Asian Development Bank within Neon Bank.

As for the battle of the rice animals over the yen exchange rate, whether it is the elder brother Fuyuhiko Kuroda or the governor Yu Hasami, they are required to wait and see what happens.

Ask the neon side's special economic power not to end up for the time being, and let the rice animals fight on their own.

So even if you want to end up in your heart.

Akihiko Kuroda can only stare at the exchange rate war of the yen now, standing on the sidelines and secretly anxious.

It's just that this kind of spectator is too torturous for the young and energetic Kuroda Akihiko.

The two rice animals, the confrontation between the yen and the Japanese debt, the news passed one by one, made Kuroda Akihiko twice his anxiety.

“…… The sell-off rate of Japanese bonds increased by 6.5% from yesterday, and it is still growing. ”

“…… The yen continued to depreciate and crossed the 130 yuan line against the dollar. ”

On April 2, 2002, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced the real estate price index for "residential" for March 2002 and "commercial property" for the first quarter of the same year. The 10-year average is calculated as 100. The composite housing index for March 2002 was 95.8, a monthly decline of 1.6 per cent. Neon Nationwide's residential land index was 92.9, down 1.8%, one-family construction was 94.1, down 2.3%, and condominiums were 114.4, up 0.3%......"

“……”

The data sent to Akihiko Kuroda is almost all bad news that is bad news for the neon economy and exchange rate because of the confrontation between the two powerful rice animals.

In fact, Akihiko Kuroda knows that the yen exchange rate has fallen, and this kind of thing is not all bad for neon.

Because neon is an export-oriented economy, it mainly earns profits from exporting products.

Therefore, the more the yen depreciates, the stronger the competitiveness of neon's foreign trade, because relatively speaking, Japanese goods become cheaper.

When goods are cheaper, buyers naturally tend to buy more Japanese goods.

But the depreciation of the yen is not a good thing, precisely because neon is an export-oriented economy.

Except for a very few industries, such as romantic action movies and the like.

Most of the neon industries and national needs rely on imports from foreign countries.

If the yen weakens, the cost of importing raw materials increases.

Therefore, the depreciation of the yen is too much, which is also not good for the development of the neon economy.

It is better to be in an intermediate state, a value that is most favorable for the economic development of the neon country.

At the same time, this is also the most desirable state for the vast majority of foreign trade countries.

The problem now is that the fierce confrontation between rice and livestock has greatly affected the stability of the yen exchange rate and Japanese bonds.

I can't help it.

Kuroda Akihiko looked at the time, and finally walked to a secret room, picked up the secret phone, and secretly called his brother Kuroda Fuyuhiko.

"Onisan, it's me, I want to ......"

"It's Akihiko. I know what you mean by this call. I'm on my way to Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. ”

Hearing his brother's words, Kuroda Akihiko suddenly perked up.

Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is the location of the Neon Imperial Palace.

But there, at the same time, is also the real power core of the current Neon, the Neon Nation. The location of the Hui Building.

In Neon, "Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku" is basically a reference to the Diet.

"Hi Yi! Since Onisan has something big to do, then I won't bother you! Kuroda Akihiko said hurriedly.

He waited quietly for his brother to hang up the phone.

In Neon, juniors call elders.

Or subordinates call their superiors, juniors and subordinates must never take the initiative to hang up the phone.

If you do that, it will be considered disrespectful, not in line with the neon guidelines, and you will be killed by the society if you spread it.

In neon, the concept of class is very exaggerated.

In this regard, Han Guo's side actually learned neon from the beginning.

It's just that it has a bit of a blue flavor later......

Kuroda Fuyuhiko didn't hang up the phone immediately, but said to his younger brother gently:

"Akihiko, I know you and many others are anxious. But this kind of thing, it's useless to be in a hurry. I'm on my way to Congress with Governor Hayami now. I believe that the members of the Diet will soon discuss a countermeasure. ”

"Hi Yi! I understand. Kuroda Akihiko immediately added.

"So be it." Kuroda hung up the phone.

Akihiko Kuroda put down the microphone and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he did not leave the office with the secret telephone, but sat quietly in the dark without even turning on the light, quietly looking at the telephone.

This sitting is more than 4 hours.

During this period, except for going to the toilet to eat and drink water, Kuroda Akihiko did not leave almost the whole time.

He just stared at the telephone.

Neon time, April 3 at 1:15 a.m.

The phone in front of Akihiko Kuroda rang suddenly.

The leader of the special operations team, who opened his eyes in the dark, grabbed the telephone microphone.

"Mixi Mishi, this is the Kuroda Group of the Neon Bank Economic Special Operation, and I'm Akihiko Kuroda."

"Akihiko, it's me."

"Onisan! I've been waiting for your call. ”

"Well, you've been waiting for it. Let's get moving, the confrontation of the rice animals has affected us. We're going to go down and fire them, but we're going to do what we do, you know? Governor Hasami will personally direct this special operation. ”

"Hi Yi!" Kuroda Akihiko said excitedly, he had been waiting for a day and a night for this news.

Akihiko Kuroda, who was excited, wanted to wait for his brother to hang up the phone, and then start his great work of saving the yen exchange rate and Japanese debt.

As a result, I heard my brother say softly:

"Remembered. Listen to the command, and completely obey the command of Governor Awamizu. By the way, I'll call you every once in a while, secret calls, remember to be unblocked. ”

Kuroda Akihiko was stunned, and thought a lot for a moment.

"Hi Yi!"

In the end, the head of the Special Economic Action Group responded decisively.

There is something wrong with the previous information, and at this time Kuroda Fuyuhiko is not the president of Neon Bank, and the president of Neon Bank is Yu Hasami, so adjust it
