Chapter 501: Landing in Britain Plan

A few days after the celebration banquet, Abel did not spend the night with Kayla, who was "eager to have a child", because those days happened to be her safe menstrual period.

There is no need to waste bullets, after all, no matter how much ammunition he has, there are more women who want to be "killed" by him.

There are not enough points, so naturally they can't be wasted.

Little Laura, where she and her best friend are busy with their final exams.

This allowed him to spend several days all mixed in with his good intentions. among people.

Sleep one by one.

Or two stacked up and sleeping together,

Three of them add up to sleep the same,

Even without the whole of the pregnancy sleeping together,

Sleep soundly......

A few days of messing around, ridiculous.

But no matter how happy the days are, you will get tired of them after a long time.

No matter how beautiful a woman's body is, it will be tasteless after a long time.

This never cares about the goddesses at home and abroad, no matter how beautiful they are, no matter how many fans they have, most of them marry those well-known directors and wealthy businessmen, and most of them do not have a good ending in the end.

Even if it's a goddess, it's important to keep it fresh.

Otherwise, the psychological shelf life will not last long.

At 9:30 a.m., Abel was in his Cadillac monster car and met Kayla Wilson with a resentful expression.

Kayla, who broke away from the girl's posture, became more and more delicate after coming to New York.

If her personality is better, she will meet Abel earlier.

With her appearance and figure, as well as her family background, she is fully qualified to be the head mother of the Smith family.

However, there is no if, she met Abel so late, and she can't match little Laura at all in terms of personality.

What's more, she has career ambitions and has been thinking about snatching her brother's family business and inheriting her father's ancestral business.

From this alone, she can't be a willing husband and child like little Laura.

So she can only be the love of Abel. Human-like existence.

"Don't pout, it's almost time to hang up the basket of small cakes."

After getting in the car, looking at her pursed lips, Abel smiled and leaned in to kiss it, and then joked.

Kayla didn't speak, but stepped forward, her pretty little nose sniffing at him.

Abel thought to himself that I had taken two baths and used so much shower gel.

It would be strange if you could still smell it.

"I didn't smell the smell of those good dock watches, it seems that you washed it quite clean."

Kayla also understands this, she just doesn't feel good, and she deliberately wants to do it.

Abel smiled and didn't take this topic, but brought up another topic.

"Today is Friday, and you, the general manager of Wells Fargo, don't go to work in the company and come to have a private meeting, which is not good."

"I'm at work, my dear client." Know that you are one of the most important VIPs of Wells Fargo. ”

This is also because of the existence of Smith Capital and the idea of Abel's interests.

In the area of capital operation and financial investment. Abel insists on not only using his own Smith Bank as a funding channel, he is eclectic, and all the capital channels that can be used are used together.

Among them, Wells Fargo, he has a lot of cooperation.

In every capital operation, margin accounts provided by large commercial banks such as Wells Fargo, First Citigroup, and even Megan Chase are used.

In addition to equalizing interests, it is necessary to ensure the safety of capital flows.

Wells Fargo alone earned more than $400 million in fees and interest on Abel last year.

Wells Fargo's net profit attributable to the parent company for the whole year last year added up to only about $10.8 billion.

In other words, Abel and his company alone provided Wells Fargo with a net profit of almost 3.9 percent for the whole of last year.

If such a customer is not a big customer, then no one is a big customer.

Whoever is the head of Wells Fargo's New York branch will pay infinite attention to Abel and meet his requirements as much as possible.

Kayla said that, and from that point of view, it can also be said that she is not wrong at all.

Seeing this, Abel simply climbed into the rear compartment of the Cadillac monster and the partition of the front driver's seat.

The partition is made of a composite material composed of titanium alloy and soundproof cotton, which is sound and heat insulation, and can even resist the impact of 7.5mm bullets.

The biggest effect is that after rising, if you want to engage in some pleasant male and female activities in the back seat of a small Simmons, you can have no psychological burden.

In fact, Abel had just pressed the button that the partition was up.

Kayla next to her, her extremely beautiful eyes are already full of water.

At the same time, he consciously squeezed into Abel's arms, muttering in his mouth, "Why are you raising this?" ”

"Ms. Wells Fargo, your most important customer needs your services now."

"Woo woo woo ......"

The verbal exchange between the two ended with Kayla being blocked and unable to speak fluently.

As for other exchanges, this is just the beginning.

At noon, when the general manager of Wells Fargo's New York branch returned to her office with a blushing face and soft steps, she began to work in earnest.

Abel had already sat on his throne in the chairman's office at the group's headquarters on the upper floors of the Smith Tower.

In front of his desk, there was a stack of papers, and it was only a small part.

If he wanted to, there would be several truckloads of similar documents every day, all of which were group businesses that deserved his attention as chairman.

If he didn't want to, then these business reports and the like, the executives under him, and the think tanks of the Smith Intelligence Group, would help him deal with it.

Most of the time, he doesn't want to.

Because if he spends all his time dealing with these corporate businesses.

Then he doesn't have to do anything else.

As his industry expanded, just handling the day-to-day affairs of these group companies consumed most of his working time.

So under normal circumstances, it is not particularly urgent, and the work related to his future strategy will be handed over to his subordinates.

He is not Zhuge Liang's kind of character, and it is not his style to do his best.

In this case, this stack of documents can still be placed in front of him.

In addition to the more important possibility, another possibility is that he is interested in it.

And this document, the property belongs to the latter, that is, what interests him.

This is the minutes sent by the Smith Intelligence Group about Apple's latest product development, as well as various important internal meetings.

After the NASDAQ crisis. Even with the return of Steve Jobs, Apple's stock price, like many other listed Internet and high-tech companies, has fallen into negative territory.

Later, when acquiring Pixar, Abel and Jobs carried out a share swap.

He traded his stake in News Corp. for Steve Jobs' stake in Pixar Animation.

In the back, because of the "good relationship" with Jobs.

Last year, when the 911 incident occurred, the stock market in the United States plummeted.

At the invitation of Jobs, in the process of bailing out the market, he also took a stake in Apple.

At that time, he intermittently acquired about 15% of Apple's shares at a very low price, becoming Apple's largest institutional shareholder at present.

It is also Jobs's biggest supporter and backstage on Apple's board of directors.

To be honest, even if Abel is now losing money on all his properties.

As long as he can continue to hold the 15% stake in Apple.

Ten years later, he is still a super-rich man with tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

About 15% of Apple's stock, this investment alone is enough to make Abel the richest man in the future.

Able quickly flipped through the paper.

After reading it, he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, under his influence, after the iPod was listed and achieved very bright results.

Steve Jobs, the world's best product manager, set his sights on the development and research of the iPhone years in advance.

Of course, now it's not called an iPhone yet.

It's called "model xxx", and xxx is a synonym for numbers, meaning that it has several prototypes at the same time.

At the beginning of this year, Apple had already invested a lot of money in the research of the "model" program.

That's at least two years earlier than in alternate planes.

Abel also doesn't know if the Apple mobile phone developed in advance can detonate the industry in advance and promote the early emergence of the mobile Internet.

This is not impossible, because during this period, many places in the United States and Europe have begun to lay 3G networks.

Some of the largest cities in the United States, such as core areas such as New York and Los Angeles, are now able to use mobile 3G signals.

The 3G signal is an important reason why the mobile Internet can be realized.

"As I became a big butterfly, the butterfly effect worked. Many things may change. ”

After reading this document, Abel felt a little emotional.

He knew that with the passage of time, as his status and wealth increased.

My influence and change in the world are also getting deeper and deeper.

In many parallel planes, what will happen after 2002 may not necessarily happen in this plane.

It may also be advanced or delayed, which is the effect of the butterfly effect.

Therefore, after being reborn, one of the two most important weapons, that is, one's "prediction" of the future, will become less and less important.

Fortunately, he has another more important weapon, which is the financial talent of cheating.

With this talent, even if you lose the advantage of a prophet, you can still maintain a huge wealth and even continue to multiply.

Closing the document in his hand, Abel shook his head and chuckled, picked up the coffee cup next to the desk, and drank it slowly.

"Dongdongβ€”"

"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Jace and Mr. David, they are all ready."

Wearing a pretty and fresh delicate contrasting flower shirt and a slim and elegant fishtail skirt, the beautiful female assistant stepped on a pair of black high heels with a pair of three-quarter heels and walked in.

"yes, I see."

Abel put down the coffee cup and shook the mouse as he looked up at Amanda Hirst standing in front of him.

Yes, that Amanda.

Amanda originally worked and interned at Smith Media, a subsidiary of AMC Television Group.

But two days ago, she and her cousin Lydia had been transferred to the Secretariat of the Smith Intelligence Regiment.

In other words, since two days ago, the two of them have become Abel's secretaries and assistants.

This means that Abel's rule of not eating "grass on the edge of the nest" has been somewhat loosened.

He directly got the grass he had already eaten, or the grass he wanted to eat, to the "edge of the nest".

Strictly speaking, this is not considered to be eating grass at the edge of the nest.

But it's clear that Abel is already planning to enjoy the experience of "having a secretary to do, nothing to do......

Amanda in front of her is the best proof of this.

Looking at the beautiful Jasmine of the Hearst family swaying in front of him, Abel smiled and said, "Secretary Hearst, are you still used to the work of the secretariat?" ”

"It was nice and adapted. Everyone was happy to help us, and Lydia said she loved the job. ”

In fact, there is no myopia, but she deliberately wears gold-wire glasses without prescription, which makes her look more like a dignified and charming glasses lady Amanda said with a smile.

It is still a very important secretariat work to be able to work beside Abel.

Amanda is very happy. This means that she has officially entered the core of Abel's power system.

Not only is she happy, but so is the Hearst family behind her.

The only thing that made Amanda hesitate a little was that Lydia was just like her.

She saw that the guy in front of her definitely came with the idea of taking all the sisters.

Damn Lydia, she pretended not to want to.

Hmph, if you really don't want to, then you should resign and leave!

Amanda felt that not only the stinky guy in front of her wanted it, but Lydia's little bi must also want to think very much.

Amanda, who was thinking like this, after answering, saw Abel take out a very beautiful box from under the desk.

"Take it with you." She saw Able open the box and said with a smile.

Inside the box, there is a pair of beautiful diamond earrings.

At a glance, Amanda, who has not been certified, but has seen a lot since she was a child, and is definitely qualified to be a junior jewelry connoisseur, recognized the diamond earrings in the box, which should be made by Harry Winston.

This brand is known as the "King of Diamonds" in the jewelry industry. What I do best is all kinds of diamond-related jewelry.

Each diamond is carefully selected as part of the cluster setting to maximize their fire and brilliance, and is so famous that it is commonly referred to as "garland" jewelry.

"This is two days ago, I had people buy it at Sotheby's New York Summer Auction."

"Sent to me?" Amanda's beautiful eyes widened, and she asked uncertainly in surprise.

Abel glanced at her with a smile, "What do you say!" ”

"Great! Giggle......"

Whewβ€”

"Wave~"

"Thank you, boss."

Amanda took the initiative to step forward and leaned over to imprint a bright rose mark on Abel's cheek, her pretty face was slightly red, and she was very happy.

"Haha! Alright, let's get out. ”

Amanda turned around obediently and lifted the plump and full tun that was wrapped in the bun.

"Smack!"

There was a crunch.

She twisted her slender waist with silky eyes and walked out of the office slowly, as if she was worried that Abel would not see it really, and deliberately increased the swing amplitude.

When the office door was closed, Abel retracted his gaze, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, click the video icon with the mouse, and after the pop-up window, the black screen quickly brightened, and two full pictures appeared in the video screen.

One is the real-time footage of the Smith Capital conference room in New York.

The other is the conference room of Smith Capital in Europe, in London.

"It's time to go."

Last moment, Abel was still playing with Amanda.

The next moment, he nodded at the people opposite him with a blank face, and said vigorously:

"Because the target is in London, Jace, you go first."

In the picture, Jace, CEO of Smith Financial Group in Europe, stood up and respectfully saluted the camera before speaking.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Due to concerns about the financial system, primarily the monetary system. As a result, investors in London have seen a phase of panic selling. ”

"It's different from the New York stock market. Yesterday, June 24, the London stock market suffered a heavy turn. The FTSE fell below the 6,500-point mark for the first time since April 1998. Affected by the London stock market, the German DAX 30 index rose, the French CAC 40 index, and the Euro Stoxx 50 index all fell. ”

"Over the past week, we have made Β£1.43 billion in shorting European stock index futures......

Hearing this performance report, Abel smiled and nodded.

As mentioned earlier, shorting the British pound is not of much interest to Abel.

One of his real tricks is actually here.

As an important currency in the world, it is one of the important economic countries in Europe.

The fall of the pound will inevitably affect the changes in the British domestic stock market and even the entire European stock market.

Therefore, while cooperating with Soros, Abel also ordered the European branch of Smith Capital to short the stock indexes of European countries.

In a month, it has earned 1.4 billion pounds, which is more than $2 billion at the current exchange rate. Isn't that more fragrant than the little money you make on the pound?

Abel also knew that he was not the only one who did this.

That guy from Soros, even the Mahogon and them, and some other Wall Street investment banks, must be doing this kind of thing.

Weaken the European economy, which is now at the beginning of the full issuance of the euro in the European Union, and even the basic national policy of the United States!

And Abel is sure that it's not just Americans who are doing it.

There must be people in Europeans' own financial groups who take advantage of the fire to rob and make their own country's national fortunes.

If the real capitalists do not have the concept of home and country, then the real financiers are even more absent.

Well, the global economy is now very integrated.

The fall in the British pound affected the British stock market and even the European stock market.

And the changes in the stock markets of the United Kingdom and Europe, if they are flooded, will also affect the shape of the global economy.

As now, the U.S. financial and commodity markets have also begun to fluctuate significantly in recent days.

Affected by this, gold, which has been rising slowly for a long time, has also increased the bearish factors for the decline.

Reflected in the market, the price of gold futures has fallen for the sixth consecutive day.

But this is a good thing for Abel, who has been long international spot gold for a long time since the beginning of this year, and is also optimistic that gold will continue to grow in the future.

Now that gold is falling, then of course he chooses to cover his position and increase his holdings of more spot gold.

Jace's debriefing continues.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ London time, this morning, before the London stock market opened, HSBC announced that it would raise 9.7 billion pounds of funds through the issuance of new shares to improve its capital adequacy ratio. ”

At the same time, the bank released its results for the first half of 2002, which showed that in the first half of this year, the bank's pre-tax profit was 4.3 billion pounds, a sharp drop of 30 percent from the previous year. After the market opened, the bank's share price plummeted by eight percent. As a result, Standard Chartered Bank, Lyce Banking Group, Bucklai Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland also suffered losses of between 2 and 10 percent. ”

"Tut-tut......"

Abel heard the various data reported by his subordinates, and he smiled and whispered, "It seems that it has already begun." ”

To be honest, although money is just a bunch of numbers for Abel now, making money is always a great thing to be happy about.

However, Abel also knows that the "benefits" of the pound's fall are basically over at this point.

This is not a major financial crisis or a Great Depression, and it is already the limit to be able to make the stock prices of these banks and large British companies fall so much.

It's time to put it off and get ready to launch the 'Landing in Britain' program.

"Two days later, on June 27, all the stock indexes and stock market funds that belong to us to short Europe and the United Kingdom will be returned! That's right, all clearance! Leaving nothing behind, having the funds ready, waiting for my orders, I'm ready to start buying the whole of British Isles! ”

Smiths Capital in two meeting rooms in the UK and the US.

Except for Jace and David, who knew the plan, everyone else was stunned to look at the big boss on the big screen with bright eyes and serious expressions, and he was by no means joking.

And this is the real reason why Abel took the initiative to snipe the pound and pushed Soros out as a target!

Sniping the pound? How much money can I make?

What he really wants is a series of high-quality British assets, including HSBC and others!
