Chapter 538 The first loss in history (2)

   As a well-known figure on Wall Street, John Mark and Goodman's John Paulson have become popular candidates for the new Washington Secretary of the Treasury. Despite the media hype, in fact, John Mark is not very interested in entering the Bush administration's cabinet, because he supports the next Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton. Although the presidential candidates within the Democratic Party have not come out at this time, the former First Lady Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the most vocal one. , John Mark is undoubtedly a key figure who can use his influence to open up the Chinese market for American capital.

   "Yes, Huaxia!"

   Like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, John Mark suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, to sell this part of the bonds to China's sovereign fund.

  Let’s talk about the development of China’s economy in these years. After 9.11, the global strategy of the United States has undergone major changes. Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has been pursuing the return to East Asia, and the strategy of containing China has begun to adjust for the first time. Because since the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States has been attacked on such a large scale for the first time, causing heavy casualties. Religious extremist forces and certain evil axis countries have become the primary targets of the United States. Under the control of this strategy, the United States resolutely gave up its policy of containing China, and began to join hands with the Western society to deal with these countries and forces. For this reason, they even reached some agreements with China to put some plans that are not good for China. The team is divided into the ranks of terrorists.

Under such circumstances, China's external environment has been greatly improved. China, which has been concentrating on developing its economy, has made great progress over the years. The economic growth has remained above 8%, and FDI (foreign direct investment) In order to grow, all kinds of funds are flocking in in search of high returns. Under such circumstances, Huaxia's economy has become the other pole that drives the growth of the world economy.

  The problem arises in China's economic growth model, which is an export-oriented economic growth model, and various products processed through low labor costs are sold all over the world. Although China has the largest market in the world, to some extent, the ratio of domestic demand to economic growth is much lower than that of exports. And China is a country that does not allow private citizens to hold foreign currency. Therefore, with the increase in investment and exports, the country has accumulated a large amount of foreign currency, most of which are US dollars.

  Naturally, it is impossible for these dollars to circulate in the country, so they can only be used in areas where dollars circulate. In this case, the US market has become the first choice for Huaxia's investment, after all, it is impossible to put these funds in the account and sleep. In order to manage these funds, the Huaxia government specially established the Huaxia Investment Fund Company, and followed the practices of Singapore, Norway and some Arab countries, hired professionals, and established a sovereign fund to manage these funds.

  A large part of these nearly hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign exchange reserves has been invested in the U.S. Treasury bond market, because this market has sufficient capacity, the risk is almost zero, and there are certain returns. After all, the U.S. government cannot go bankrupt. As for the rest of the funds, it is said that the managers of Huaxia Investment Fund are looking for targets in the market.

Because it is a shareholder of Huajin Corporation, Stanley Corporation has always maintained a good relationship with Huaxia's financial executives. Huatou's top executives are also very familiar with it, and even at some point they are familiar with the character and operating style of the opponent's brains.

  Although most Chinese people are smarter, John Mark is not a vegetarian. He knows very well that the other party will not be easily fooled if he does not match it with some sweetness. After a little thought, he came up with a brilliant idea.

   After careful consideration, John Mark felt more and more that his idea was a nearly perfect strategy, ensuring that those people in Huaxia would fall into this trap without knowing it. At this moment, the phone on the desk rang again. Unlike the heavy mood when he answered the phone just now, this time John Mark was in a very happy mood.

   "Hello, I'm John. Oh, it's George. How's your health, my old man?"

   After pressing the microphone, John Mark quickly recognized the voice of the other party, George Soros, one of the giants on Wall Street, and also his decades old friend. Originally, he wanted to tease the other party a few words, but Soros' next sentence immediately changed his expression.

   "John, I heard that your deal fell through? Is this news true?"

  John Mark was really shocked this time. He never thought that this happened just a few minutes ago. He didn't expect Soros to receive the news immediately. After his complexion was uncertain for a long while, he sighed and admitted helplessly: "Yes, George, the transaction did fall through. But I want to know, where did you get the news? Also, you Are you going to short our stock?"

  For this guy who has always been known for his brutality, John Mark had to keep a hand. After all, in such a world where the law of the jungle preys on the weak, no matter who he is, he must be on guard.

Soros, who was on the other side of the microphone, immediately chuckled. Naturally, he heard the other party's implication, and immediately denied: "John, if there is no such call, I am afraid that I will short your company, but it is obviously impossible now. .Now I have an idea, maybe I can cheat that Hong Kong bell, what do you think?"

"What?" John Mark's face suddenly became bitter, "Why are you and that guy endless? Let me tell you, I don't want to get involved in your grievances unless you can take our bond Swallow it all!"

"How is this possible?" Soros' voice suddenly raised an octave, dissatisfied with John Mark's opinion, but after a long silence, he suddenly smiled strangely, and said in a low voice, "John, actually this One time is very simple, Stanley doesn’t even need to pay a single dollar, as long as someone quietly releases the news to him, I don’t believe he can resist the temptation to short Stanley and make a lot of money!”
