Just as Li Han expected, the Fed soon announced a rate hike.

This is a routine operation in the United States, and no country is surprised.

Printing the dollar leads to inflation, which can only be alleviated by raising interest rates. When the interest rate is higher, people will be more inclined to save money rather than take out loans, which will lead to less dollars circulating in the market, which will ultimately have the effect of alleviating inflation.

However, the effect of such interest rate hikes will have a negative impact on other countries, because high interest rates will cause the dollar to flow back to the United States, increasing the demand for the dollar and thus increasing the exchange rate of the dollar, which in turn will lead to the depreciation of other countries' currencies.

After the U.S. economy returns to a strong period, the Fed will cut interest rates and let other countries and companies lend money, spreading dollars to countries around the world for the next harvest.

The United States has used this routine many times, so other countries are well aware of this routine, but because of the hegemony of the dollar, everyone has no choice but to let the United States transfer its economic crisis abroad.

In addition, domestic banks and funds in the United States will also cooperate with the Fed to act at this time to make a big profit.

Therefore, Li Han suspects that Kangda Group should have been preparing for this moment a long time ago, deliberately waiting for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and start acting.

Originally, it was because the company of Singapore's richest man was shorted that investors lost confidence in the Singapore market, and now the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates again and caused the dollar to return, and the Singapore market has directly entered a cold winter.

Under this double whammy, Singapore's market can be said to be miserable.

So at this time, Wall Street came over with a large amount of money, and if the Singapore government dared to disagree, it would be torn to pieces by its own capital.

Of course, the Singapore government should now feel that its foreign exchange reserves are sufficient and should be able to survive.

However, Thailand felt the same way back then, but it turned out to be the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

And Li Han has a hunch that Wall Street's appetite will be greater this time than last time, and the funds they can use to ensure the success of the plan are likely to exceed Singapore's foreign exchange reserves.

Because when there are enough funds, this plan is bound to succeed.

The process is simple: Wall Street people exchange $200 billion for $260 billion at the current rate of 1:1.3, and then use the Singapore dollars to buy dollars in the market.

At this time, the US dollar in the market decreases, the Singapore dollar increases, and the exchange rate will gradually decrease.

In order to avoid the collapse of the Singapore dollar, the Singapore government will use its dollar reserves to buy the Singapore dollar in the hands of Wall Street.

But when Wall Street's Singapore dollar exceeds the Singapore government's foreign exchange reserves, the Singapore dollar completely collapses and the exchange rate plummets, at which point the exchange rate may fall to 1:1.8 or even lower.

Not to mention that there is Singapore's own capital in shorting, when the quantitative fund shorted the Thai baht, in fact, it only spent 4 billion US dollars, and the rest of the funds were helped by Thailand's own capital.

In the end, Wall Street people may only spend more than $150 billion to exchange for 260 billion Singapore dollars, and then they will return the money to the banks in Singapore and redeem their own 200 billion dollars.

So, in the end, they netted $50 billion.

However, Li Han is not in a hurry, he can't scrape together 200 billion US dollars, but as long as his plan can be implemented smoothly, he can stop these Wall Street hyenas.

After having a New Year's dinner with relatives at home, the home was deserted again on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

This made Li Han feel a little guilty, and obviously promised to give Wang Man a lively family, so he decided to stay by Wang Man's side 24 hours a day to make up for it.

"Meimei, where do you want to go today, I'll go with you?" Li Han said while helping Wang Man cut his nails.

"Hmm......" Wang Man thought about it while holding his cheek with his other hand, "Where can I go on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" The outside is closed. ”

"Let's go out and have a look." Li Han finished cutting one hand and kissed her little hand, "Come, the other hand." ”

"Shall we go to the wet market?" Wang Man obediently stretched out his other hand, "It just so happened that I used a lot of materials at home for the New Year's dinner yesterday, so go out and replenish it." ”

So, after cutting her nails, Wang Man rode her little electric donkey and took Li Han out together. Because it was during the Chinese New Year, few shops around were open, and even the vegetable market was closed, only the vegetable market founded by Jiang Tao was still open.

"The price of their house hasn't gone up much, it's really not easy." Wang Man took Li Han and wandered around the vegetable market, "The prices of other vegetable markets have risen like crazy now, and potatoes cost more than five yuan a catty. ”

"How much is usual?" Li Han stroked her braids and smiled.

"Usually two or three pieces!" Wang Man glared at him, "You, your hands don't touch the spring water." ”

"That's why I asked you to complement me." Li Han hugged her and kissed her, "Let's go!" Buy whatever you want! ”

When passing by a rice shop, Wang Man couldn't help but stop.

"I'm almost out of rice at home, so let's buy another bag." Wang Man crossed his waist and muttered to himself, and then waved his hand to the boss: "Boss, can your rice be delivered to your door?" I want a bag of fifty pounds of jasmine rice. ”

"What do you want to deliver to your door, I'll carry it back!" Li Han immediately volunteered.

"Is it okay?" Wang Man asked a little worriedly, "This bag of rice is fifty catties." ”

"Just kidding! Underestimate your husband, right? Li Han didn't have a good breath, and he picked up the rice bag with a "hey Xiu". Seeing this, Wang Man couldn't help laughing: "Man...... I just like to be strong in front of women. ”

"It's to be strong in front of the woman you like." Li Han snorted arrogantly.

But Li Han obviously overestimated himself, and after eating in the evening, his waist began to have severe pain, as if someone was constantly pricking his lumbar vertebrae with needles, and he couldn't even sit, so he could only lie down or lie on his stomach.

"Still not strong?" Wang Man said angrily while helping him hammer his waist, "You don't want to think about it, you are almost thirty years old, can you compare with other young men?" ”

"Alas, I've been to the gym too little lately......" Li Han sighed in frustration.

But he also had to admit that his body was indeed far worse than before. Maybe it's because I'm more free and loose after doing this work, and I sit for longer and longer.

"Alas, my little electric motor doesn't work at the waist either." Wang Man stroked his head and teased, "Obviously, I was still crazy last night, but today I was bent by a bag of rice." ”

"Maybe it's because last night's output was too strong......" Li Han rolled his eyes.

"Do I have to move after that?" Wang Man leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile.

"Tsk, when I take a day off, I will still ......have a small electric motor," Li Han said unconvinced, and then looked at himself in the mirror and sighed: "It's really a lot older, you see I have so many forehead lines......"

As he spoke, Li Han looked at Wang Man in the mirror: "Why are you the only one who escaped the punishment of time?" ”

"I'll be old one day, too." Wang Man sighed slightly and said.

"It's okay, my motor will break down in the future, so I'll have to output you as many times as I can before then." Li Han disagreed. Wang Man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Look at your current appearance, what about the motor......"

"In short, I can only lie in bed for the past few days......" Li Han sighed, hugged Wang Man and lay down on the bed, and then turned on the computer.

He observed the changes in the Singapore market and saw that Wall Street had already begun to act.

The Fed announced an interest rate hike a few days ago, which can be regarded as the official announcement of the beginning of this currency war.

Wall Street people have begun to initiate loans to Singapore banks through various channels, and according to the data provided by the big data app, Li Han deduced that Wall Street has invested more than $200 billion this time.

This scale has even surpassed the short of the Thai baht more than 20 years ago, after all, the quantitative fund invested only more than 10 billion US dollars, and this time Wall Street has invested more than Singapore's foreign exchange reserves.

From this point of view, it is clear that these Wall Street people are bound to win, and they will not allow anyone to stop their plan, not even Li Han. Of course, Li Han really can't confront Wall Street head-on.

After all, he is alone on his side, and his opponent is not only Wall Street, but also human greed.

Except for him, everyone just wants to follow Wall Street to harvest the wealth of the country, even Singapore's own richest man. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Han to win this group of people, and his purpose is not to defeat this group of people, but to delay time, delaying time so that he can carry out another plan.

This plan is to "encircle Wei and save Zhao".

Since he couldn't stop the Wall Street crowd from the front, he attacked the enemy's lair and cut off the opponent's food and grass. This wave was his real plan, and it was the only thing he could do.

Wall Street's wave of shorting of the Singapore dollar is fundamentally dependent on the hegemony of the dollar, and it is impossible for him to overthrow the hegemony of the dollar in the short term with his own strength, but he can seize the opportunity to temporarily shake this hegemony to interrupt Wall Street's plan. And this opportunity is exactly what happened before, "the United States refuses to recognize Russia's 2.2 billion US debt".

"Let's hope nothing goes wrong." Li Han sighed and muttered to himself, then frowned and took a cool breath: he just changed his posture slightly, and there was a strong stabbing pain in his waist.

"Husband, do you want to go to the hospital tomorrow?" Wang Man leaned on his shoulder and asked worriedly.

"Hmm......" Li Han pondered for a while, "Let's wait until tomorrow to see the situation." ”

"Hmm." Wang Man nodded lightly, "I'll let you rest for the night tonight." ”
