The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

v3 Chapter 41: chaotic struggle

Quantum Fund headquarters.

Soros stroked his chin, browsing the economic survey report data brought back from Thailand by his subordinates.

He looked very carefully and carefully.

According to the analysis report of the survey, Thailand's economy has reached its limit, and the devaluation of the baht can no longer be avoided.

After reading all the reports page by page, Soros fell into deep thought.

There is excitement and there is pain.

There seemed to be a chaotic struggle under those old eyes.

As early as 1994, after studying the Southeast Asian economy, the Quantum Fund team discovered serious loopholes under the rapid economic growth of Southeast Asia.

Take Thailand as an example.

Under the economic development of Thailand, Thailand relies too much on the export of labor-intensive industries. More than half of its economic growth comes from Japan.

In 1984, the Bank of Thailand began to implement a fixed exchange rate system pegged to a basket of currencies. For a long time, 1 US dollar was fixed at 25 baht.

But in terms of foreign exchange ratio, the proportion of the US dollar exceeds 80%.

This makes the dollar's value against the Thai baht very strong.

In order to promote economic development, Thailand opened its capital account prematurely and established a financial trading center with a high degree of freedom.

Although this can attract a large amount of international capital into Thailand, most of them are short-term funds.

Almost all of these speculative capital flowed into the Thai stock market and real estate industry.

All of this is in Soros's eyes, and there are loopholes almost everywhere.

There is no knowledge progress, no technological innovation, and no sound and effective system.

Thailand's economic development is entirely driven by large-scale capital.

Under the splendid looking building, there are all holes and holes, like a castle in the sky.

Like Thailand, the rest of Southeast Asia is basically facing the same problem.

Under the rapid development of the economy, it is like a straw that has been helped by pulling out the seedlings.

It's just a matter of time before it collapses.

Soros believes that the currencies of these Southeast Asian countries are overvalued and will depreciate sooner or later.

As the top head of a hedge fund, his role is to help clients earn returns on their investments.

As long as the opportunity is seized to explode these currencies at the critical point, the fund can bring a large amount of income to its clients.

However, Soros has not yet made his final attention.

He didn't know if he was doing it right or wrong.

Soros is Jewish.

Born on August 12, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary.

His father was a lawyer and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy local businessman.

That is, the legendary Bai Fumei.

However, Soros's father is somewhat odd.

He's smart, but a little lazy.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that being a lawyer should be very rich, but because his father is not motivated, he has to live by, and his family is not rich.

Not every man wants to conquer the world.

Soros's father is not a progressive, but he is a good father.

Old George spent all his energy on being with the children.

When Soros was very young, his father told him stories all day long. In Soros's eyes, his father really regarded him as a friend.

No matter what childish questions Soros asked, his father answered patiently.

Soros discovered at the time that his father would rather tell stories with him than go to work. At that time, Sorosha was simple, and he thought his father liked to chat with him.

People always grow up.

After school, Soros's demands increased.

Sometimes he wanted to go to the playground, sometimes he wanted to go out on an outing, and sometimes he wanted to buy something, and his father always tried to satisfy him.

It was only later that he found that he had no money in his pocket, so old George made a bad move.

Old George asked Soros to borrow money himself.

Soros felt embarrassed. His relatives and friends were all Jewish, and he borrowed money from Jews...

That is no less than pulling out the teeth of the Jews.

Soros had experienced the contempt he received when he borrowed money since he was a child.

He didn't understand at the time why his dad asked him to borrow money and then use the borrowed money to take him around.

He had also asked his father.

Why don't you do more work so we have money and don't have to ask someone else to borrow it?

That's what old George answered.

Money is a burden. With money, people become weak.

Soros also has an older brother named Paul.

When two boys are at home, fighting and grabbing things is inevitable.

Soros was often bullied by his brother because of his small size.

When going out, if Soros was bullied by other children, his brother would never help him, and sometimes his brother would repair him in front of outsiders, which made Soros feel aggrieved, so he went to the father who loved him the most. .

At this time, Dad will listen to him very carefully, and then...

There's no after that.

Old George won't say a word of justice, let alone punish his brother.

Since there is no one to support him, Soros understands from a young age that everything depends on himself.

Besides having a good father, Soros also has a good mother.

Although his mother was born in Bai Fumei, she had a hard time after marrying a husband who didn't like work, so she had to work hard all day to worry about making a living.

No matter how poor the conditions, the mother worked hard to ensure that her two sons would not starve and freeze.

His mother's diligence and kindness also had a great influence on Soros, so even if he made all European countries uneasy, he still gave a lot of money to charity.

This was the happiest time of Soros's life.

later…

War broke out.

Because of his own experience, Soros hated poverty.

His motto is that you must not die with nothing in the coffin.

But also because of his experience, he hated bullying the weak and hated war.

No one would have imagined that Soros, who once made all European countries fear as a snake and a scorpion and regarded as a cold-blooded crocodile, would hesitate.

In the office, Soros stroked his chin and fell into a daze.

His eyes were cold for a while, and then struggled violently for a while.

For Soros, attack Britain and Sweden.

While taxpayers in these countries will still lose out, these countries already enjoy far too many benefits over residents of developing countries.

Since their central bank has made a mistake, it deserves to bear the price.

But now, he is waging an economic war against a weak country.

If the Quantum Fund's currency war against Southeast Asian countries is successful, millions of ordinary people will be thrown into unemployment and extreme poverty.

This is not what Soros wants to do.

For him, this is a moral issue.

No no no.

The point of currency speculation is to remind governments of the need for change.

The baht needs to be devalued, and if the government and the central bank can choose to actively devalue it, it will save ordinary people from suffering.

The longer the government drags on, the more severe and brutal the eventual currency collapse disaster will be.

Once their foreign exchange reserves are exhausted, the economic crisis caused by capital flight has no room for slowdown.

By then, more ordinary people will live in perpetual poverty and misery.

I am helping them, this is to save more people.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only by letting them discover their own problems can they develop healthier.

I did nothing wrong...

 …

lusaka.

Darkwater International Temporary Office.

Kazat Modi was like a furious gorilla, he glared at He Tianya and roared.

"You guys are robbery, the Lunmwana copper mine has 102 million tons of reserves, all of which are 1.1 percent high-grade ore.

Before the Australian Equinox company was willing to mine for 100 million US dollars, it is worth 100 million US dollars, understand. "

"Mr. Defense Secretary, the $100 million you mentioned was in the past. Now, I think this copper mine is only worth two million dollars, which is simply not enough to cover our employment costs."

After Modi and He Tianya met, they made it clear without too many politenesses.

On behalf of the Chiluba government, he formally proposed employment to Darkwater International.

Everything was as Chiluba had guessed.

International mercenaries really do things as long as they are given money.

Darkwater International did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to Modi's request, and promised to assist the Chiluba government forces to completely defeat David's rebels.

This made Modi secretly relieved.

However, there was a serious dispute between the two sides when the remuneration was proposed.

Hesitating that the international copper price will continue to slump and weaken, the Chiluba government cannot make ends meet financially.

Before that, the Chiluba government spent a lot of money to maintain the livelihood of the people.

So Chiluba government, there is not much liquidity at the moment.

In addition, the government has to maintain its dominance, and in the future, it will continue to purchase food from other countries to support the people's livelihood.

This has forced the Chiluba government to use its foreign exchange reserves cautiously.

For a variety of reasons, the Chiluba government hopes to use the unmined Lunmwana copper mine as collateral to pay Darkwater International's commission.

This is a copper mine with excellent reserves and taste.

According to the stock price a long time ago, the value of this copper mine is about 100 million US dollars.

The employment price negotiated by Modi and He Tianya is $20 million.

The one-year employment contract can be terminated early if David's rebels can be defeated early.

Neither side has any objections to this.

However, when Modi proposed to use the Lunmwana copper mine as an employment fee, he was ruthlessly ridiculed by He Tianya.

Only one-fifth of the value of 100 million US dollars was chopped down.

This made Modi furious.

These **** stray dogs.

If possible, Modi really wants to blow He Tianya's head with one shot.

It's just that now he has something to ask for, so he can only suppress the urge to kill.

"Mr. Honorable Head, I came to discuss business with you with the most sincere attitude, and I hope you can show real sincerity.

The value of the Lunmwana copper mine, I think you should also understand, if there is no way, we will never use it as collateral. "

What a stupid gorilla.

When I meet a fool like you, if I don't slaughter you hard, wouldn't it be just as stupid as you.

If I didn't know you couldn't do anything about it~lightnovelpub.net~ how could I take advantage of the situation.

On the black heart, He Tianya was deeply infected by Zhao Jiangchuan, and he had already reached a better level.

In Modi's unwillingness, He Tianya grinned, revealing a white eye.

It is exactly the same as Zhao Jiangchuan's treacherous virtue.

he sneered.

"Your Excellency Minister, of course I understand the value of the Lunmwana copper mine, and we are also sincerely accepting your employment.

However, even you yourself said that it was the value of the past, and now that your regime is in serious chaos, who would dare to come here to mine copper.

Whether we can sell the copper mine is still a question.

So I think it's only worth two million dollars right now. "

"No, our rule will return to stability immediately. As long as David's rebels are defeated, the Lunmwana copper mine will still be worth $100 million."
