Chapter 1261: Repeatedly cut leeks

Afterwards, Li Changheng began to explain the information that everyone had just read.

The content of the information is not much, and there is only one core.

Faced with the record-high export deficit between the United States and the island countries, the Americans actually began to use administration, legislation, and even coerce the island countries to sign certain agreements beneficial to the United States as early as the mid-1970s to suppress the exports of the island countries. .

It's a pity that even if there is an effect in a short period of time, it won't take two or three years. The situation will return to the island country and use the cost advantage to easily defeat the companies in the United States.

Even the semiconductor industry of the island country, in order to avoid the semiconductor agreement with the United States, must release 20% of the market to companies in the United States, and there are also restrictions on the dumping of memories below 20 US dollars at low prices.

While transferring low-end manufacturing to South Korea, it was re-exported to the United States under the name of Korea Company.

While investing a lot of money in their own country, they began to compete with companies in the United States for the market in the high-end chip field.

The result is that the island country won again, not to mention, and its market share soared from the 6th floor to 80%, and even reached 90% at one point.

Companies such as Intel, Texas Instruments, and Fairchild almost went bankrupt.

Therefore, Intel had to officially abandon the memory market since the 1980s, and put 90% of its energy and funds on the research and development of CPUs.

Therefore, methods such as suppression and coercion are useless at all.

Li Changheng looked at it from the perspective of God, coupled with his own study for so many years, it was easy to find that in order to deal with the rising export rate of the island country, he had to use financial means to increase the exchange rate of the island country's currency to the US dollar.

The reason is simple. The magic weapon for the island nation is R&D and cost.

In terms of research and development capabilities, the island country can't compete with the United States at all.

But the primary enemy of the United States at this time is the red polar bear, and it has to put most of its research and development capabilities in the fields of high-tech weapons and advanced technologies.

This has led to the fact that in the field of practical application, it is the various private companies in the United States to compete with the entire island country.

It can be said that the United States did not lose in a mess, which is already powerful enough.

That's why the United States exerted pressure one after another, but in the end it still couldn't suppress the island country.

Since none of these methods work, then artificially raise the exchange rate of the island country's currency.

If the currency of the island country is raised from around 240 to 120 to one US dollar within a few years, the book wealth of the island people will indeed double.

But it will also double the actual price of products produced in island countries.

In the past, the cost of producing a car in the island country was 240,000 island currency, which was equivalent to one thousand dollars.

But after the exchange rate is raised, it will cost more than 1,000, or even 2,000 US dollars, which immediately weakens the competitiveness of island country products in the United States.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone understood what Li Changheng meant, and the old foxes thought the same as Li Changheng, so they could take advantage of the fact that US dollars could be exchanged for more island currency.

Using U.S. dollars as a guarantee, they wantonly borrowed island currency from island banks.

Then use the money to invest in markets that are easy to speculate, such as the stock market and real estate, while earning the difference in exchange rates, while earning the difference after the stock market and real estate speculation.

However, Li Changheng’s method is even more wicked, using deposit interest rates that are 3f% or even 5% higher than that of Island Bank, attracting a large number of Islanders to invest in Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, First Bank of Boston, and First Bank of Dallas under the Rudd family. deposit.

With the money, the banks bought a large number of office buildings and high-end residences in the prosperous areas of the island country.

And these high-quality industries are not only easier to be priced up, but also easy to sell slowly.

Then target around the financial circle and business circle, or run from Tokyo to Osaka and other cities, and hype it again.

After a circle, not only can you make huge profits, but you can also attract more local funds from the island country and other hot money from overseas to join in, and together push up the real estate industry in the island country.

And the extra 5% interest paid is just a drop in the bucket compared to what can be earned.

When the exchange rate rises, a large number of US dollars will be exchanged out of the market, which will cause the country's shortage of US dollars to cause money panic, and the exchange rate will be suppressed again.

And once the exchange rate drops, Wall Street will re-enter the country and continue to buy high-quality assets, which is equivalent to using US dollars to harvest twice.

This method is used by American capital on the red polar bear, and in the future, the United States will change it slightly to adjust short-term interest rates, and artificially absorb funds into the American capital market repeatedly to harvest the world.

"I join."

Morgan agreed to Li Changheng's plan without hesitation. After thinking about it carefully, the others soon realized how much the influx of hot money would affect a country.

Not to mention that the United States has 70,000 to 80,000 troops stationed in the island country, and it has sufficient strength and ability to protect the funds of the United States. It is even not difficult to coerce the island country to compromise when necessary.

"Well, we're going to focus on Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, First Citizens Bank, and Dallas National Bank, each raising $2.5 billion.

Rockefeller, Pension and Retirement Funds, each investing 2.5 billion, can only be handed over to Citigroup for unified control.

But all the money was deposited in the Dallas National Bank account.

With this as a guarantee, the currency of the island country is loaned to the island country in batches to invest in the stock market and real estate.

After that, we will increase the deposit exchange rate of the island national currency together to absorb the island national currency in the hands of the island people. "

Ladd Elkins wanted to jump up and kiss Li Changheng. Compared with other forces, the Texas interest combination is the weakest in the bank.

Even he is an alliance of three regional banks. Compared with the other three banks, even the younger brother is not qualified.

Therefore, once united, the most disadvantaged is of course the Dallas National Bank.

But because of this, Li Changheng felt more at ease with the bank.

Others thought about it for a while, and they knew that if Li Changheng said to put the funds in Citigroup, the others would definitely not be willing or at ease.

It can be placed in Dalmo ~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng will not agree.

As for putting it in Boston, Li Changheng is willing, but Morgan is even more worried.

No need to guess, once something goes wrong, Boston's forces will definitely unite with Li Changheng. For Morgan Stanley, it might as well be in Citigroup.

At least for the sake of reputation, Citigroup will not do some things, and dare not do them.

Now at the National Bank of Dallas, the handling fee of 17.5 billion US dollars is enough to cover the bank's entire year's income.

If you exchange back and forth several times, plus the transaction costs on the stock market and real estate, not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars, you can still earn 100 million dollars.

Andre and the others looked at Ladd enviously, full of resentment for this guy's bad luck.

After Morgan, Lowell, and Lawrence nodded in agreement, Li Changheng smiled and said to the old Rockefeller who had been silent.
