MTL - America’s Big Hero-v2 Chapter 539 : Murdoch Violent Entry
In the new year, I wish the gentleman is magnanimous and the readers are long chirping (Mimi)
(For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, everyone else is eating, drinking and having fun, and the author is still struggling to type. When will the author stand up!) This person is different when he has confidence!
Before the Soros plane landed, he called all the senior executives in the Quantum Fund to prepare for a meeting. There are only 5 people in the conference room, all of whom are senior executives of Quantum Fund and absolute elites in the financial industry. In half an hour, Soros briefly talked about his trip to Greece to meet Sean.
To sum up, Mr. Sean Rockefeller deserves to be the successor of the next generation of the Rockefeller family. He is calm, calm, and has a clear positioning.
These words are used to describe a capitalist, and they are definitely not derogatory terms. Soros continued: "It was a pleasure talking to Mr. Sean!"
He first made a qualitative decision on this matter.
"Mr. Sean also discovered the problems of the European economy. He also believes that the pound is dangerous now, but he does not have much experience in finance. Therefore, he hopes to join forces with our Quantum Fund to short the European market."
"Sean, the Rockefeller family behind it, and the U.S. government are not interested in the profits of the financial market. They are planning the share of the foreign exchange reserve market and the oil market. Of course, this has nothing to do with us. Let me tell you This is to tell everyone that you don’t need to have any burden on your heart, and you can use whatever method you want, and this time Rockefeller and the US government are standing behind us!”
"Justice, fearless!" Soros encouraged several collaborators and subordinates.
Ting Gao Soros said this, and several collaborators cheered up immediately, yes, we are on the side of justice, fearless!
Druckenmiller, Soros' assistant, a shareholder of Quantum Fund, was responsible for the previous long position in Deutsche Mark!
Scott Besser, a financial expert and real estate expert, has been shorting real estate stocks in the UK market for the past few months and has made a lot of money.
Druckenmiller was the first to speak, "The German economy is developing strongly, and their export products are highly competitive. German Finance Minister Schlesinger is relatively conservative. The current German fiscal policy has put Germany on the fast track of development. He’s not going to change German fiscal policy until there’s something better, safer, and I don’t think there’s a stronger incentive for the Germans than raising interest rates right now.”
"The idea of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism is very good, breaking geographical restrictions and strengthening commercial activities, but the Germans as the center will not sacrifice their own interests for the interests of other countries, unless one day the European currency is unified."
Soros looked at Scott Besser again, "Our ultimate goal is the British, Scott Besser, tell me your judgment."
"The problem in the UK is very complicated. They have only joined the exchange rate mechanism for a few months. The ERM stipulates that the exchange rate fluctuation range should not exceed 7%. The pound has been stuck at this point for a long time." Scott Besser smiled Said: "The British are having a hard time now, they played a bad game."
"The Bank of England can solve the problem by raising interest rates, but the interest rates on real estate mortgages in the UK are usually floating. If the central bank raises interest rates, the British people will immediately have repayment pressure. The decline in consumption will make the UK already in recession worse. Raising interest rates rashly is likely to generate a lot of bad debts, and the banks that lend out will not agree to it unless they want to go bankrupt."
"Another point is exports. The Bank of England's interest rate hike will inevitably lead to a stronger pound, and the appreciation of the pound will also reduce the competitiveness of export companies, and what's more, they will lose money and go bankrupt. This will inevitably be a major blow to the already sluggish British economy."
"So, my judgment is..." Scott Besser paused suddenly, deliberately procrastinating like an award ceremony to create tension. He is a playful character, although he is also in his 50s.
"The British will inevitably raise interest rates!" After that, Scott Besser laughed loudly, "I just joined the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and couldn't even keep it offline. I was kicked out in embarrassment. Is it face-saving!"
"No one compares
The Chinese government cares more about saving face. Even if we know it is wrong and there is a problem, our British gentlemen must be tough to the end and will never admit it. They will die with style! "
"It's like the best L85 series rifle in the world."
As soon as this remark came out, the originally tense conference room suddenly burst into laughter, mocking that it is a repertoire of the Americans that the British want to save face and suffer.
Soros was very satisfied with a smile on his face. He could tell that you all have unique skills!
"Let me make a conclusion. In order to maintain their decency, the British will definitely raise interest rates. However, due to the consideration of the domestic market environment, this rate increase will definitely be controlled, and the pound will remain in the floating range of 7%. Within." Soros concluded: "This will lead to a lot of domestic conflicts, public attitudes, bank attitudes, foreign trade companies and the government are seriously separated."
"The British are very powerful, we have to admit this, but a British with internal conflicts is not scary! No one has thought about the pound yet, and we, the Quantum Fund, will be the first!"
"Leave your name in history, create a precedent!"
In a word, everyone in the meeting room is excited. Yes, it is just a fund company, fighting against the British Empire. Even though the current British Empire has slipped many times from its peak, it is still the most powerful country in the world. one!
After some mobilization, the Quantum Fund immediately started to act.
It is said that Americans work 8 hours a day, rest two days a week, and never work overtime. ． ． ． In fact, the money is still not in place!
There is a time difference between the United States and Europe. This time we are fighting in the European base camp, and all the time is coordinated with that side. ....
Quantum Fund is the same thing in Wall Street. After all, it is just a financial company that controls less than 2 billion US dollars.
Therefore, Quantum Fund is the initiator and the main force in this war, but they are not the only players. Other hedge funds on Wall Street, the trading departments of major banks, and the financial departments of multinational companies are all capable players.
The first is to find the top ten international banks.
The top ten banks are JPMorgan, Chase Manhattan Bank, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Mitsubishi Bank, Credit Agricole, and Banco Internationale.
Therefore, the British are indeed very powerful, and two out of the top ten are British.
The first one I looked for was Chase Manhattan. This is a bank controlled by Rockefeller, and it is my family! With Sean pushing and David old man nodding, it was naturally unimpeded.
Of course, it is impossible to rely on Chase Manhattan. At least shorting the British pound must require the cooperation of the Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC.
As for why these two banks would cooperate with Soros, a financial giant, to attack their own country's pound... At this time, I have to say that sentence, capital has no borders!
Of course, the real reason is that the position of the bank may not be completely consistent with that of the country, and the interests of the British government may not necessarily be consistent with those of the United Kingdom.
After some research, the Quantum Fund first targeted Finland.
Finland is not a member of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, but Finland is a part of Europe and the largest importer of Finland. The Finnish mark is also anchored to the German mark, which is suitable for beheading on this **** road.
Through Chase Manhattan, JP Morgan, and Credit Agricole as a springboard, Quantum Fund has a large number of Finnmark positions in hand, and everything is ready.
Then another person was needed to cooperate. At this time, Sean introduced his 'old friend' Murdoch to Soros. Financial hype is inseparable from the cooperation of the media!
....
"Sean dog thief, what time is it, call me, is there anything you can't talk about during the day, do you know how important sleep is to an old man!" Leaning on the bed, answering the phone, Murdo Ke growled loudly.
"This is great, if you can't do it, I will marry your daughter Prudence immediately, and then join forces to kick your son out, and form a joint
The world's largest media group, Sean Media. ’ Sean laughed.
Prudence: Hey, is there such a good thing? Dad, it's time to drink medicine!
"Go to hell, dog thief, dog thief!" Murdoch was furious, and had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart. I can't let this **** succeed, I want to live well!
alive!
"Come on, what's the matter?" Murdoch asked angrily.
"I went to Major when I was doing television in England, you remember."
"Well, what then?" Murdoch raised his brows, scolding, scolding, cooperation, cooperation, no delay.
"I'm very upset, and it just so happened that I discovered the problems of the British economy, so I approached Soros and prepared to short the pound to teach this group of arrogant gentlemen a hard lesson. Now, News Corp. is needed there Let's cooperate."
"What good am I!" Murdoch said calmly.
The old guy didn't even think about the problem of failure. Don't look at Murdoch talking about Sean as a thief all day long, but he admits one thing, Sean didn't lose money if he made a move!
The people who know you best are not necessarily your loved ones, but more likely your enemies. "You'll get a share of 100 million investment!" Sean said.
"500 million!" Murdoch doesn't know the total share, but the lion is right.
"You old man, don't go too far!" Sean became impatient. He wanted to drive Murdoch to death, so he only gave out 3 billion US dollars, and the old man would take one-sixth of it when he opened his mouth. Go crazy!
"If you don't give it to me, I'll make trouble for you. Just look at the strength of my News Corp. in Europe!" Murdoch laughed loudly, making Xiao En feel so happy, and stretched out his hand to pat his side The woman said, "Go get some red wine, happy!" Sean: "...."
"Immortal, believe it or not, I made your daughter's belly bigger!" Sean gritted his teeth in hatred. Prudence: You mean what you say, wait for me, pass the night!
"Don't you dare, Sean, can you show some face, this is business." This is Murdoch's weakness, and the old guy immediately sat up straight.
"Who the **** is talking about business with you? Did you do that? 200 million, the most, I only got a total of 1 billion share!" Sean snorted coldly.
Murdoch doesn't believe Sean's nonsense, "200 million shares are not worth the cooperation of News Corporation's rights." "In exchange for conditions."
"I want to invest in the Asian Investment Bank!" "Fuck!"
The two quarreled on the phone for a while, but in the end Sean was forced to agree to Murdoch's $300 million investment in Asian Investment Bank. Of course, he was not at a loss. He asked Murdoch's Star Media to cooperate with him. Asia Media's acquisition of Hong Kong Island's Asia Television.
At present, Lin Baixin is in charge of the overall situation of ATV, but his shares are only 30.83%, and the rest is still in the hands of Qiu Degen. The share issue is easy for Sean, but the British Hong Kong government will definitely set up various obstacles for Sean. You can't point a gun at the head of the Governor of Hong Kong and ask him to approve it!
This requires the cooperation of Murdoch's Star Media.
After talking about the business, I don't know if there was a tacit understanding in the call. The moment before hanging up the phone, the two cursed at the same time.
"Immortal!" "Dog thief!"...
On April 8th and 10th, the finance ministers and central bank chiefs of many European countries met in the small town of Bath, England.
British Chancellor of the Exchequer Lamont clenched his fist and appealed to Bundesbank Governor Schlesinger: "The finance ministers of 12 countries are here asking you to cut interest rates, why don't you do so?"
It's not just the UK that can't stand it, other countries including Italy are also devastated by the European exchange rate mechanism, UU reading www.uukanshu. comOf course, it’s not that this mechanism is not good. It does unite Europe to a certain extent, make the process of the EU go further, and make economic exchanges between countries more unimpeded.
There are pros and cons, and the pros outweigh the cons.
Schlesinger disapproved in his heart, but he still spoke softly, "Although I am not planning to cut interest rates, I don't see a reason to raise them either."
Lamont didn't know if he didn't hear it, or if he wanted to save Yingying.
In view of the plight of the United States, or to save his career, he accepted interviews with The Times and Sky Radio as soon as he returned. In the interview, he processed Schlesinger's compromise into a compromise by the Bundesbank.
The Times and Sky Radio are both owned by News Corporation. With Murdoch's approval, the news spread across Europe overnight, and major newspapers, even the Sun, which focuses on gossip, began to report related issues.
The direction of speculation is all that Schlesinger can't bear the pressure of 12 countries and is ready to cut interest rates. Who said that leaders in various countries don't read newspapers, so they won't be influenced by the media?
Nonsense, they are all human beings with limited energy, and most of the information still depends on TV stations and newspapers, so it is only natural to be affected by the content above.
The overwhelming reports made Schlesinger almost vomit blood. The Bundesbank has always upheld independence, but the media played up that he compromised under pressure. long?
He's the German finance minister, not the **** ERM finance minister! Besides...
From the bottom of his heart, Schlesinger doesn't like that this **** exchange rate mechanism will succeed! "Immediately, find me several major newspapers, especially The Times, and I want to clarify!"
