Chapter 369 That is a paper tiger
After convinced Joros, Zhou Ming immediately called Lin Muqing and Tang Ran to tell the news.
Now we can invest in the quantum fund as Tangren Bank, which can be a long-term investment agreement or just for this one. However, the only thing we need to do is to reach an agreement as quickly as possible and to require Joros to launch an attack on the pound as soon as possible.
Zhou Ming said this, not just casually. Today is Monday. With the news that the Bank of London announced a loan of $20 billion to Big Wood Bank, the market's confidence in Big Wood Bank was greatly enhanced. So after the stock market opened in the morning, Big Wood Bank's stocks soared all the way. By the time of Joros' call, it had risen by more than 4.
When Tang Ran heard Zhou Ming say this, she immediately agreed: Of course it is good. It is a big deal to launch an attack on the pound.
Tang Ran's tone was a little excited, because generally speaking, I heard about companies targeting or financial families at most. Where can I hear about them targeting a country? Even she hasn't seen them in the records of the Tang family. Or if it's a poor and weak country, it's fine, but now it's a powerful economy like the United Kingdom, how can people not be excited and excited?
While excited, Tang Ran was also dissatisfied and said: It would be better to teach those British people a lesson quickly and let them not interfere with your brother Ming. Let's see if those people from Big Wood Bank can still talk nonsense on TV?
Zhou Ming laughed, but unexpectedly Tang Ran was also a very revengeful person. Of course, she remembered the revenge related to her.
In the news this morning, George, chairman of the Great Wood Bank and the patriarch of the Great Wood family, severely rebuked all the actions targeting the Great Wood Bank in an interview with the media, and said that these people were rats who wanted to eat elephants. The Great Wood Bank said that these sneak attacks behind the scenes and attempts to use despicable and dirty means are destined to fail.
Although he did not name it, George was obviously scolding Zhou Ming, and Ranran was of course very angry when he dared to scold Ranran.
Compared to Tang Ran, Lin Muqing seemed much more mature. She took the phone from Tang Ran and said to Zhou Ming: I understand that it is appropriate to teach the UK a lesson in this situation to prevent them from interfering in the Big Wood family. But the problem is that Britain is the strongest financial country except the United States. Is it really feasible to attack the pound rashly? As far as I know, Britain only joined the European exchange rate system last year, and the pound is now in an upward trend.
Lin Muqing continued: Is there Joe Ross who can trust his abilities? Although he has made a lot of investments in quantum funds, they are all targeted at the stock market. This kind of cross-border attack currency requires a high level of vision and very delicate operation methods.
Just from these words, it is not difficult for Zhou Ming to see how much preparations Lin Muqing has done.
Britain did join the European exchange rate system last year. Britain itself is also a financial power, but in my opinion, it is just a pitiful paper tiger, because its system may not be a sound system.
Zhou Ming then told Lin Muqing: Europeans want to establish a unified currency, and this desire is very good, but because the exchange rate between European countries is too large at this stage, the Berlin Wall has just been pushed down, and many countries have left behind a very serious fiscal deficit in order to cope with the Cold War.
Simply put, the entire Europe is not ready to welcome a unified monetary system. In addition, Britain has been away from the European continent for a long time and has never been on the same side as Europe. Therefore, this system is a joke now. As long as someone dares to take action, it can easily complete a wave of harvest.
Zhou Ming changed the subject when he said this, and said with certainty: As for Joros, judging from his previous investment style, he is still very trustworthy.
Just kidding, that's Joros. Anyone who has a little understanding of finance in the future can know the name of this person. The sale of the Thai baht started to trigger a Southeast Asian financial crisis that shocked the world, which directly caused the economies of these countries to regress at least ten years. Later, they cooperated with the US government to launch a color revolution and plunder Eastern European countries. At that time, it was Joros who wanted to say that one person defeated a country.
Cha Cha Ross's resume, the Bank of England incident in 1992 is also very famous, that is, the financial incident in which Joros made profit by frantically selling the pound, causing the pound to depreciate and thus make money.
In fact, it is because Zhou Ming still remembers this. When Zhou Ming thought of teaching Britain a lesson, the first thing he thought of was Joros.
Although the Bank of England incident in the previous life happened in 1992, according to Joros himself recalled on an interview program, he was actually preparing for it when the UK first joined the European exchange rate system two years ago. However, at that time, because his ideas were too advanced, there were not many believers to him. Quantum Fund investors disagreed with this project, which made the project dragged for 1992 years.
Later, when the European bond crisis caused by the failure of the Denmark referendum, the European exchange rate system problem was exposed for the first time, the investors of Quantum Fund suddenly reacted, which led to the incident of Joros sniping the British pound.
Joros made 2 billion by selling pounds, but he said: I was preparing as quickly as possible, but it was still too late. Because the bond crisis also allowed others to see the problems in the European exchange rate mechanism, he added many opponents that should not have existed when dividing the cake, otherwise the profit could be increased by at least five times.
Perhaps there is a certain boastful element in his words, but one thing is clear, that is, sniping the pound was completely feasible in 1991. Not to mention that as he returned from his rebirth, he changed the entire world line, allowing the former Soviet Union to die early, and the European integration process accelerated, the already feasible plan to snipe the pound was obviously more feasible.
But Zhou Ming couldn't tell anyone about these words, so he had to make arbitrary decisions. Seeing that Zhou Ming was so determined, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran would naturally not object.
Sister Mu Qing Ranran, I know it would be incredible to say this, but you must believe that the exchange rate mechanism between the UK and the entire Europe is definitely problematic. Their superficial strength is like a paper tiger, but they just look strong, but they are actually very weak. As long as we dare to take action, they will die for us. Zhou Ming said.
Facing Zhou Ming's explanation, Lin Muqing said there: Zhou Ming, you don't need to explain to us. No matter what you say, we will believe you unconditionally. Even if you tell me that you are going to acquire the Federal Reserve tomorrow, we will try our best to help you raise funds. Even if you make mistakes in the end, we will accompany you to make mistakes without any regrets.
Tang Ran also said: Brother Ming, Sister Mu Qing is right. As long as you make it well, no matter what decision you make, we will support you to the end. This is not a sentence, but a promise.
Listening to Lin Muqing and Tang Ran's words made Zhou Ming very moved, because if he hadn't really loved him, he wouldn't have done this. Zhou Ming felt that he would be so lucky to have such love from them.
However, there is no banquet that never ends. No matter how deep the relationship is, there is still time to hang up the phone. And they are just racing against time now, so Lin Muqing and Tang Ran need to find Joros to prepare first.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming calmed down his mood and called Jack, the head of the Morgan family.
As soon as the phone was connected, Jack's voice came over: Hello, Mr. Zhou Ming, have Joros contacted you? If there is no, I can help you again.
Of course not. I am very grateful to Mr. Jack for his matchmaking. I not only contacted Mr. Joros, but also discussed the sniping of the pound with him. Zhou Ming continued to say that I have another and more important thing to contact Mr. Jack now, which is to hope to borrow some money from Mr. Jack.
This is what it should be. After all, the UK is a country with very strong financial strength, and the number of local invisible wealthy people in the UK is also very large. It is impossible to snipe the currency of such a country without huge financial resources. So how much do you plan to borrow from Mr. Zhou Ming? Jack asked.
One hundred billion US dollars. Zhou Ming answered without hesitation.
This answer made Jack scream at the time: What a billion dollars?
Zhou Ming smiled: If I remember correctly, the Morgan family is the number one financial family in the United States. It doesn’t seem difficult to give out 10 billion, and I didn’t say it casually, because to deal with a country like the UK, this amount of money still needs to be taken out.
Jack interrupted Zhou Ming and said: It's not like that. Mr. Zhou Ming, you misunderstood. I don't think the money is too much, but I think it's too little. As Mr. Zhou Ming, you said, the UK is a country with very strong financial strength. It only takes 10 billion US dollars to defeat the pound. You know, this money can't even deal with the Big Wood family.
I didn't say I wanted to use 10 billion to defeat the pound, but I only paid 10 billion US dollars now. I also prepared 10 billion US dollars from Tangren Bank. Zhou Ming said.
But even if it is 20 billion, 30 billion is still not enough, Jack said.
Does Mr. Jack know how the crossbow arrows were fired? Zhou Ming asked.
This question made Jack stunned at the time. He didn't understand why Zhou Ming suddenly asked such a question. Didn't he just talk about a hundred billion dollars? Why did he suddenly jump onto the crossbow arrow?
Although Jack was confused, he replied: Of course, he would just use the trigger to jamm the bowstring, aim at the enemy, and then pull the trigger.
It seems that Mr. Jack is very familiar with crossbow arrows. Crossbow arrows are indeed fired in this way. So can it be said that the trigger pulled the bowstring? Zhou Ming asked.
Of course not, the trigger is just a mechanism, the real bowstring has been pulled long ago
Jack's words came to an abrupt end. Obviously he had understood what Zhou Ming meant. Zhou Ming took over his words and said: Of course, if I came specifically to deal with the pound, it would definitely not work, but I was lucky because since the UK joined the European exchange rate system, the pound itself has had very serious problems. Then as long as I trigger this problem, it would be easy to cause the collapse of the pound.
Zhou Ming finally said: It’s like a bowstring that has been pulled on a crossbow arrow. I can complete the entire launch process by just touching the trigger with the 20 billion US dollars I had prepared.
Jack laughed at this and said: So that's it, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are such a genius. Since that's the case, I'll be generous and give you two billion dollars of funds. But Mr. Zhou Ming, you must pay me at least two hundred million dollars of return.
