Of course, the election process is definitely not that easy, but after Will chanted the slogan of revitalizing the Great Lakes industrial area, it was impossible for many blue-collar workers in Cleveland not to pay attention to him for their own income.

More in line with the interests of the Cleveland consortium, as well as numerous consortia with mineral, steel, and automotive interests in the Great Lakes.

As Will continues to appear in front of the public and the media, many people have gradually learned that Will's campaign team is basically all members of Li Changheng's lawyer team.

Even after the local media broke the news, even hl media themselves joked on TV that with the support of Li Changheng, even a bear can sit on the state councillor's seat with his eyes closed.

After reading the report, many Wall Street institutions and investors believed that Li Changheng was betting on the huge shale oil in Ohio, but for Li Changheng, the shale oil matter is over.

After his purchase of 150,000 acres of land was exposed, the major media and interest groups in the United States will help him continue to push up the value and spread of shale oil.

It can be seen from the slow decline in oil prices that capital is indeed avoiding risks, which further depresses the price of oil.

After getting a lot of attention, Will once again shouted that as long as he becomes an Ohio congressman, he will inevitably increase tariffs on the island country's automobiles and semiconductor products.

This kind of talk is actually not new for a long time, but Will must be the first person who actually made such a public statement during the election.

The islanders are not stupid. They spend a lot of public relations funds every year, constantly lobbying and publicizing various agencies and committees in Washington.

But everything has a limit, or critical value.

No matter how greedy the politicians in Washington are, they also know that their roots are in the United States.

In the face of large companies that are constantly losing money and small and medium-sized companies that are bankrupt, the anger has already reached its limit.

Li Changheng chose to reveal it at this time, and let Will, a political white man, say it, the meaning is very straightforward.

After being pierced, even if there is a backlash, Will will not lose anything.

Other politicians, without fear of becoming a target, have begun to push for tariff and trade-related negotiations with the island nation.

By this time, many people understood that Li Changheng's goal was never simply to stare at oil prices, or a North Sea oil field.

-----

One year and three months later, the Plaza Accord was officially signed. Li Changheng, who was watching TV in the Rhode Island manor, stood up from the sofa excitedly.

Immediately, Yumiko, who was holding a baby who was almost one year old, jumped up.

Li Changheng, who was staring at the laughing eyes, complained, "Henry, you scared Eric."

Li Changheng hurriedly turned his head to look at the youngest son in Yumiko's arms.

Seeing that the little guy was still sound asleep, he didn't understand that it was Yumiko who was scared by him.

Sitting back on the sofa, he stretched out his head and kissed his younger son's cheek.

Then he said to Yumiko as if being vaccinated, "Once this agreement is signed, our buildings and land in the island country will definitely increase by three or five times.

When Eric grows up, the three buildings I gave him will definitely be worth 5 billion US dollars.

If you count the shares I hold in several big island groups, my net worth is over 40 billion, which is as simple as playing. "

"real?"

Yumiko almost cried out in excitement.

One must know that Li Changheng's apparent net worth at this time is only 54 billion.

However, Li Changheng has invested in real estate in the mainland and Hong Kong Island from time to time over the years, but he has never done anything about the island country. Yumiko said that it is impossible not to worry about it.

So hearing what Li Changheng said, he might turn his attention to the island country again, and Yumiko suddenly became excited.

After that, he didn't care at all whether Li Changheng was robbing the wealth of the islanders.

Anyway, in her opinion, since the financial market is legal, outsiders have no right to criticize her man.

Not to mention that the money Li Changheng earned in the island country ultimately belonged to his son.

After finishing Yumiko, Li Changheng went to Citigroup headquarters the next day.

Before the market opened, Frank, Taylor, and Andre looked at him with some concern and asked, "Henry, are you sure that the dollar will plummet by 20% against the yen in the next three months?"

Li Changheng grinned, "I have asked people to pledge all my assets in the island country, and I have lent out 1.25 trillion yen to major banks in the island country."

Upon hearing this, the three of Frank immediately felt relieved.

According to the exchange rate of 250 to 1 yesterday, 1 trillion yen is equal to 4 billion US dollars.

Such a huge amount of money has already entered the market, Li Changheng will definitely not make fun of his own money.

And Citigroup's goal this time is to directly copy foreign exchange. If this is done, the goal is too big. It is better to focus on the real estate and banks of the island country.

As for industries such as semiconductors and automobiles, Li Changheng decided not to go short after thinking about it.

Short selling requires a receiver, and the bubble really started in 1987. The island country itself lowered the interest rate from 5% to 2.5%, which artificially created a huge bubble.

In addition, there are so many goals that can make money, it is better to do more.

Following the trend of the overheating of the island country's economy, if you make a lot of money for a few years, you don't have to worry about being targeted and hated by the island people.

Even if the real estate bubble in the island country bursts in the future, the housing prices in the central area not only did not fall by more than 30%, but it took only a few years for them to rise again.

What is really worthless is the real estate under the name of ordinary people.

After the market opened, Citigroup's traders followed Li Changheng's order and bought real estate and bank stocks aggressively.

UBS, which manages Li Changheng's private wealth, also began to buy a large number of Mitsui & Co. shares by virtue of its advantage of more than 1 trillion yen.

The company itself owns a large number of properties and land in the island country.

In addition, Mitsui owns 15% of Brazil's Vale and owns more than 200,000 acres of farms and pastures in Brazil.

Together with Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal, it holds mutual shares with BHP Billiton of Kangaroo Country.

Not only was the plate big enough, but when I wanted to sell it in 1989, even if Mitsui & Co. didn't have that much money, I could turn to the Mitsui consortium and banks for help.

And regardless of the bursting of the real estate bubble in the island country, the island country seemed to be in a state of depression for 20 or 30 years, but many companies in the island country also held a large number of overseas high-quality assets because of the appreciation of the yen.

A few years later, everything was as Li Changheng thought. Faced with rising land prices, Mitsui people heard that Li Changheng planned to sell the shares they held, and they agreed to take over at a price exceeding 20% ​​of the market value.

After 4 years of skyrocketing, the original 1 trillion assets have already risen to 4.8 trillion yen.

And this is still not the highest value of housing prices in the island country, but this is definitely the best time to sell.

Mitsui even had to turn to banks belonging to the same consortium to raise enough money.

In addition, considering that the exchange rate has dropped to a ratio of 120 to 1 in recent years, it is equivalent to Mitsui's payment of 40 billion US dollars.

With such a large acquisition amount, it is impossible to keep it secret.

At the beginning, the island nation’s officials were unwilling to approve the transaction, so Li Changheng simply mobilized 3 billion yen to redeem a building that was not in the central area of ​​the 1 trillion yen mortgaged to the bank’s real estate that year.

Then it was pushed to the market, and the backhand made an extra 1.4 billion yen.

The 3 billion yen building at that time had already risen to more than 12 billion at this time. If the price was not increased by 10%, it would not even be eligible for negotiation.

Then start the previous routine.

A large number of wealthy people in the island country who have been sold by the skyrocketing real estate and even sold their factories have joined forces and waved cash and even foreign exchange to their door.

A price increase of 20% is the norm.

Except for the 4 buildings on Financial Street, the other 22 buildings were all sold off in just one month.

Holding 3.4 trillion yen in his hand, he just joked at a reception that he might enter the island country's financial market for fun, forcing the island country to agree to Mitsui's merger and acquisition case.

However, the islanders are not stupid and asked him not to exchange US dollars.

Li Changheng agreed without thinking too much.

Even if the real estate bubble in the island country bursts, the exchange rate will cause you to lose more than 15% of your funds, but you are facing an average decline of 63% in the island country real estate.

It is definitely not a loss to keep the yen before entering the market.

If Eric is listed as the heir to the funds and assets of the island country, even if the islanders hate themselves, they can only admit it, and even describe themselves as the savior to revive the market.

In April 1989, after the formal conclusion of the merger and acquisition case, the news that Li Changheng's net worth surpassed 100 billion U.S. dollars for the first time caused a sensation all over the world.

Moreover, the major media also broke the news that this does not include the wealth held by the "Anne and Henry" family fund.

Based on Li Changheng's cautious personality over the years, this number may more than double.

While countless people were shocked, they soon became uneasy.

Li Changheng, who is only 39 years old, can still be active in the capital for at least 2 to 30 years~lightnovelpub.net~ and it only took him 20 years to earn such a huge wealth.

Based on the rule that the richer you are, the easier it is to make money, does that mean that it may only take 10 or even 5 years to earn another 100 billion?

And based on the assets held by many companies in his hands, the assets that Li Changheng can really influence and control definitely exceed 800 billion US dollars.

This figure is twice the size of New York's economy last year.

Even politicians, the elephants and donkeys he's fed over the years, are starting to panic when they read these reports.

After answering the 10th call, Li Changheng looked at Annie, Angela and Louis who were all worried.

He smiled and said, "I'd better retire."

The book is over.
