Chapter 215: The THAAD System? You don't sell, I sell!
"One building in 3 days, Huaxia shows terrifying infrastructure capabilities."
"555 Fulton may be reborn, and its ability to seize the lower market should not be underestimated!"
"Significant reduction in the cost of building a residential building? or a huge impact on the real estate market. ”
As one news report after another came out, the evaluation of this action, which was originally regarded as a "farce" and "show", was instantly reversed.
Everyone never thought that the 10 days they said was still a conservative estimate.
The real situation is that even if the construction starts on the 21st, the workers on the construction site can still make it to Thanksgiving!
With such a terrifying speed and such a terrifying ability, people can't help but have a question:
Why, our own company is so slow?
Does it really take that much time, or are they deliberately prolonging it and creating the illusion of "high cost"?
In anticipation, many real estate-related companies have fluctuated sharply in the U.S. stock market, including the largest Holden company.
In the headquarters office, Horton looked at the latest stock price forecast with a gloomy expression, his coffee cup in his hand, his muscles tense to the point that he almost trembled when he raised it.
In the past hour, Holden's stock price has fallen by a full 3%.
This made his worth plummet by nearly $10 billion in an instant.
While it is known that this is only a temporary fluctuation, even throughout the history of Holden, this is extremely rare.
He couldn't help but be anxious, but he didn't have any coping means.
The secretary sitting across from him carefully observed his expression, and then spoke:
"This volatility can be seen as a concentrated release of market sentiment, although the magnitude is large on the surface, but the timeliness is very short."
"It will only take a few days at most for the effects of this incident to be digested."
"At that point, our share price will be back in normal range, and our other plans will be able to continue."
"Combined with the operation of the second-hand housing market, we expect that in the next month, the share price of the entire real estate sector will rise by about 5%, and our company."
"That's not what I care about!"
Horton interrupted the secretary with a sharp voice, and then continued:
"The problem now is, they did pry into our market!"
"Whether it's a show or a long-term strategy they've booked, the result is that they're really challenging our authority with their cheap, shoddy, but intimidating, efficient products, just like in any other field!"
"Yes, even now, the people and the market have not fully embraced their so-called 'houses', but what about in the future?"
"What if they built not one, but dozens, hundreds, or hundreds?"
"Bad money drives out good money, and sooner or later they will take our cake -—— no, it's not that simple."
"They're forcing us to become like them, and they're challenging the whole market price system!"
"I'll just say it's not that simple, they just want to bring down the price of the whole market, which is dangerous!"
Hearing his words, the secretary sighed helplessly.
Then he spoke:
"At least now we know what they intended."
"In the future, as long as we respond according to the plan, we will be able to maintain the stability of prices."
"We've started to make some moves in the second-hand housing market, and now we control most of the listings in Texas and have some pricing power."
"At the same time, other companies are following suit, and the conduction effect is expected to occur within two weeks."
"When the time comes, we can also see a clear upward trend in the new housing market"
"Be quick!"
Horton interrupted again.
"We don't have time to hesitate, it's like two strong men face to face in tug-of-war, if we are still in the tentative part and the other party uses all their strength, then we are likely to be knocked down in an instant."
"They can't be given any chance to speculate."
"Now, the second-hand housing field alone is no longer enough, we also have to start from the financial direction."
"Let's find a way to continue to speculate on the popularity of subprime CDS, it is strongly bound to the real estate market, as long as it heats up, our market will continue to heat up."
"Understood, I'll do it."
With that, the secretary got up and left Horton's office.
And after he left, instructions from this small office began to be quickly transmitted to all corners of the American continent.
The first to launch is the operation in the second-hand housing market.
Many residents who intend to buy second-hand houses because the price of new homes is too high suddenly find that second-hand housing prices are rising much faster than they expected, and in some cities, there is even a situation where prices are inverted!
Experts immediately interpreted the situation, saying that this means that there is room for house prices to continue to rise, and the reason why it is inverted is only because real estate developers are less sensitive and have not had time to adjust their pricing.
As a result, with the help of these experts, the boom in second-hand housing rush began to rise.
The speculators, who had been gearing up for a long time, finally waited for a new opportunity, and pounced on them like wolves seeing their prey.
Under the joint manipulation of several major real estate companies, the price of second-hand housing has risen amazingly, and in just two weeks, the highest increase in one city has reached 10%!
The whole society is advocating that real estate is the best financial management tool and the easiest way for ordinary people to get rich.
The market was hot and everyone went crazy.
Along with the boom in the real estate market, there is also the boom in the financial trading market.
CDS holdings have been on the rise, with a 5% increase from a month ago.
At the same time, the average trading price and turnover rate of CDS are also rising, and it is even more popular in major media than traditional stocks.
Moreover, after years of development, CDS is no longer the high-level financial product that only institutions can participate in.
MBS, which is packaged from CDS, is packaged as a new generation of wealth management products, which are open to all bank customers.
In an environment of soaring home prices, MBS's annualized return has surged to a staggering 40%.
What is this concept?
Even Warren Buffett, his annualized rate of return is only around 30%.
As long as you buy MBS, you surpass Warren Buffett.
Under such temptation, the whole market began to show a very abnormal prosperity.
The Federation has obviously noticed this anomaly, but the officials, who have long been kidnapped by capital, are unable to make any restrictive actions.
Because they know that the whole market is now a pot of hot oil.
If you rush to pour cold water into it, then there will only be one consequence.
Explode.
However, they did not dare to add water to the oil pot, but on the other side, someone had already begun to prepare ice cubes
In Chen Guo's office, Chen Nian looked at the latest report and asked with some curiosity:
"So this was originally your plan, or was it a spontaneous reaction of the American market?"
Chen Feiyun, who was sitting on the side, smiled and replied:
"It should be said that it was within our plan."
"However, the reaction of the other side was much more violent than we expected."
"In other words, your judgment is right."
"The significant financial losses in the early stage have indeed exacerbated the volatility of their financial markets, and there are many more endogenous instability factors than under normal development."
"It is reasonable to assume that their financial edifice is on the verge of collapse."
"As long as there are more disturbances, and we don't even need to pump out their foundations, we can shake their entire economy."
Hearing Chen Feiyun's words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.
Chen Feiyun is worthy of being the leading "financial warfare" expert in China, and his judgment is basically the same as the situation when the financial crisis actually occurred in the previous life.
Back then, the subprime mortgage crisis only started with small-scale defaults and the bankruptcy of small banks.
At that time, everyone thought that it was just normal market fluctuations, and no one could have imagined that this storm would eventually sweep the world and bring the whole world into the abyss.
"So what are you going to do next?"
He continued.
"There are a few directions."
After thinking for a while, Chen Feiyun stood up and began to sort out the plan of the economic mouth in the form of a tree diagram on the whiteboard on the side.
"The first thing that is certain is that we have to continue to deepen the impact of 555 Fulton."
"We've been impressed by our infrastructure capabilities, but we're still just a model building."
"In the later stage, we will continue to expand the scale of the project, and use the same method to wash away the cognition of ordinary people again and again."
"Of course, there may be some troubles in the process, and the federation has already reacted, and they are bound to restrict our actions through the media, policies, etc., but it doesn't matter, we just need to prepare in advance."
"And, most crucially, we need to continue to undermine the other side's policy foundations."
"Actually, we all know very well that the high price of housing in the United States is based on expectations for the American economy."
"We intend to send some negative signals, such as selling US Treasuries, selling core stocks, etc., to further reduce the expectations of the entire financial market."
"The third and most critical point is that we intend to give them this boiling oil pot. Throw in a block of ice. ”
"Ice? How? ”
Chen Nian asked curiously.
"The market is one, and when there is a major blow in one area, the whole market will fluctuate because of it."
"We know that among the major pillar industries in the United States, the military industry accounts for a huge proportion."
"Then, if we can give them a major negative expectation in this industry, we are sure that the momentum of the entire American economy will cool down."
"And the first thing is real estate."
"Therefore, our military export action must be further accelerated."
"Military exports?"
Chen Nian subconsciously repeated, his tone a little surprised.
"Can this still be relevant?"
"Of course."
Chen Feiyun nodded with a natural face, and then explained.
"According to our report, U.S. arms exports in 2005 will total more than $15 billion, 70 percent of which will go to Asia."
"For them, this is not just a simple economic and foreign exchange income, in fact, it is more like a proof of national strength."
"In the eyes of many people, the arms trade is actually the main way for the United States to export its influence to the outside world for a long time to come."
"As long as it exists, and it continues to expand, so can America's influence."
"If we can intercept them in this one market. Think about it, how things are going to change? ”
Chen Nian frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:
"Their arms vassal program will be a complete failure."
"Arms vassals! That's such a precise word! ”
Chen Feiyun looked at Chen Nian in surprise and said:
"If you're not a technologist, I'd love to pull you into my own group. That's right, it's an arms vassal. ”
"As a matter of fact, the United States' Asia-Pacific strategy has had a clear trend in recent years, and they want to rely on expanded arms trade and military cooperation to control the entire pan-Pacific region under their control."
"Among them, Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore, these countries should be their main targets."
"Of course, now Vietnam has been eliminated."
"So, as long as we get a few other countries, we can basically break their arms vassal plans — at least, to a certain extent."
"Understood, this is your ice."
Chen Nian said thoughtfully.
"You are actually thinking backwards, by suppressing the other party's arms trade, creating a false impression that the other party's influence is declining-—— maybe it is not an illusion, but this will not be discussed for now."
"In short, financial markets are sensitive, and the slightest hint of wind and grass can cause them to overreact."
"The setback in the arms trade may be just a small piece of ice for the hot oil in the US economic market, but as long as it is thrown into the pot, it can trigger a huge chain reaction."
"Because, the foreshadowing on the real estate has already burned the fire very hot"
"That's it."
Chen Feiyun nodded solemnly.
"So where are you going to start? At present, the United States exports the most weapons in the Asia-Pacific region, except for the Patriot, F-15, F-16, and Aegis, it seems that there is nothing else, right? ”
"In these aspects, our competitiveness is not superior."
"This needs Poly and Beigong to discuss and decide, and I can only provide directional suggestions."
Hearing Chen Feiyun's words, Chen Nian frowned.
No, it doesn't.
At present, although several new domestic equipment are very competitive and powerful, none of them can be exported to grab the market.
DF-17 You sold to Thailand, Malaysia?
J-22 you sold to the island nation?
Are you kidding.
But if you sell inferior products, people really don't look down on them.
After all, East Asian monster houses are different from the Middle East, they have really seen good things.
If we want to break the strategy of arms vassalage, we must come up with a piece of equipment that is far ahead, but not a threat to ourselves.
It has to be defensive equipment, but its effect has to be "killer" level.
Whether it is a Patriot or an Aegis, they actually meet this characteristic.
That. What do we have?
Or rather, where can I start?
——
Wait a minute.
Chen Nian's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.
In fact, the core of the arms vassal program is not the Patriot or the Aegis, but the THAAD system.
Since sooner or later you will have to deploy THAAD in Japan and South Korea.
Then why did I sell it in advance, what can you do with me?
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.
He realized that this solution might be the best idea
The concept of THAAD coming out of someone else's hand is different from THAAD coming out of my own hands.
However, before selling this "strongest shield in history", you have to come up with a "spear that can definitely break the shield".
After all, our purpose is to break the US arms vassal program, not to break our nuclear deterrence and play ourselves to death .
