【Chapter 331】The confidence to win

A reasonable and stable exchange rate is a necessary condition for economic development in a country and even the whole world: from a country's perspective, it is conducive to promoting the healthy development of foreign trade and achieving balance of foreign capital, stabilizing prices, increasing employment and national income, and enhancing international reserves. From a world perspective, it is conducive to the smooth progress of international trade and the stability of international financial order, promoting the normal flow of international capital, etc. On the contrary, frequent and sharp fluctuations in exchange rates will intensify international economic competition, affect the smooth progress of international trade, stimulate international speculation, and cause turmoil and chaos in the international financial market, etc.

From this we can see how important a stable exchange rate is to a country. Since Zhu Mingyang decided to deal with the French, he naturally had to take advantage of his key points. He did not want to operate through Hong Kong. Li Desheng, who was responsible for London, has enough funds and strength. In addition, there is Li Zongen who secretly assisted. Xia Mingqi from Hong Kong will definitely pay attention to this series of actions, and naturally will cooperate secretly...

Although France has lost its former glory, it was once an old empire after all. In addition, this country has joined the European exchange rate mechanism. If you do it blindly, you may not only not be able to deal with it, but you may also trap yourself in it. Since France has countries participating in the European exchange rate mechanism as a helper, Zhu Mingyang of course also needs to attract more helpers. As for how many people can join, Zhu Mingyang is indeed not sure, but he can believe that the greedy speculators on Wall Street in the United States will never miss any opportunity to make money.

Zhu Mingyang is also very clear that if he comes forward to do such a thing, he can still achieve certain results, but such results may not be very large. The reason is that Zhu Mingyang has not been in the United States for a long time, and he is usually very low-key and is not very familiar with some international capital tycoons. At this time, all he needs is to find a helper within the company.

After some measurement, Zhu Mingyang noticed Will, the first business manager of Lide Investment Company, who had been in the US financial business for twenty years. He came here because of Yu Li Desheng's best friend when he worked in the United States and had a certain influence on Wall Street in the United States. In addition, he was also the nephew of the executive vice president of Citibank. The capital tycoons on Wall Street will give him some face.

Zhu Mingyang would never do anything if he wanted to run away but didn't want to give it to his horse. Since he wanted Will to play a vanguard in this operation, he would of course give him enough benefits, and this benefit was not only money, but also reputation.

At the next executive meeting, Zhu Mingyang announced that Will was the vice president of London Lidder. Other Gao Xiang did not find any surprises about this appointment. The reason was that Li Desheng represented Zhu Mingyang that he had announced before that whoever can achieve the greatest performance in three months will win.

Although the performance of several business department managers is good, especially Will is the most outstanding. According to the principle of survival of the fittest, Will is also worthy of being the vice president of London Lide Investment. Besides, companies like Lide are completely a company with personal investment, and there is no board of directors like any other company. It is only a matter of one sentence that the boss wants to use.

Although he had long expected that Lide Investment's vice president Zai was his own, when Will heard the boss announce such a decision, he was still very happy and excited. You should know that Lide Investment in London is no longer like when he just came to London. It is not only the top financial companies in London and even the United States, but also has a huge influence in Western Europe. Being able to serve as the vice president of such a large company is not only an affirmation of Will's ability, but also a proof of the expansion of influence. Moreover, his salary will also be greatly improved; and the global senior vice president of Bluebird International Commercial Bank, a subsidiary of Bluebird Financial Investment in Hong Kong, which was very fierce in Japan some time ago, also had the same surname and name as this big boss. He would not be the same person. If it were really the same, he would really have a bright future.

When Zhu Mingyang saw Will's excited look, he also curled his lips secretly, took out the position of vice president, and fought for him. Will's value is a bit too low.

Since Will was given as vice president, Zhu Mingyang would give him the corresponding rights and responsibilities he should bear. Zhu Mingyang would definitely not do the stupid thing that wanted the horse to run but did not give the horse to eat grass, but Zhu Mingyang would not do the stupid thing that only gave the horse to eat grass and did not let the horse run quickly.

After Li Desheng invited Will into Zhu Mingyang's study, he was busy with his own affairs. Now he was even busier, so he collected information from all aspects. At the same time, this also made him even more excited. He immediately discussed how to operate the business with the ten-foreign trader who founded Lide Investment from Hong Kong, that is, secretly cooperated with the company's open operations...

"Mr. Will, I have recently carefully studied the French economy and came to an important conclusion that the value of the francs has been seriously overestimated and is not in line with its domestic economic development, so I am preparing to block the francs."

Although Zhu Mingyang also expressed his intention to make a fortune from the Frenchman at this previous meeting, he had always said that he would block the francs. Now Zhu Mingyang suddenly mentioned one thing, and Will felt that he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Boss, I agree with your judgment. Among all countries that have joined the currency exchange rate stability mechanism, except for the German Mark, other currencies, including the British pound, are very weak. Their exchange rates are seriously overvalued without exception, especially the Italian lira and Spanish Pesetta. Although we have a great grasp of the franc, there are still great risks after all!"

Zhu Mingyang nodded and had to admit that Will's analysis was very reasonable. Although the economic situation in France was very bad, it was better than Italy and Spain. Since you naturally have to pick up the soft ones when eating persimmons. Obviously, the Italian lira and Spanish lisetta are the softest two. Obviously, Will wants to block the lira and lisetta, not francs.

Will's idea is somewhat similar to Soros' blockade of the British pound. Unfortunately, Soros's choice of the target was wrong. If he chose the target of the blockade, he might not have failed. Of course, that was under the premise that Zhu Mingyang would not help.

"Well, do you have any good suggestions."

"I think the last time Soros' blockade against the pound has sounded a wake-up call for Europe and made them more vigilant. If we now attack the franc of France, the third strongest in Europe, we will still be slightly insufficient."

Will's words also confirmed Zhu Mingyang's judgment. He obviously has a greater grasp of the victory against Lira and Bisetta. The reason here is also very clear. Compared with France, Italy and Spain are much worse in terms of economic strength or influence.

"Mr. Will, if we were to block the francs, how much strength do you think we need?"

Will calculated silently for a while in his mind, then raised his head and said, "Boss, if we want to block the franc, I think it will cost at least 50 billion US dollars."

"So how much money do we need if we block the franc, lira, and bisetta at the same time?"

Will was shocked when he heard Zhu Mingyang say this. His boss was so crazy that he actually challenged three countries with his own strength. However, he thought that as long as he had strong financial strength, he was not sure at all. This was originally a gamble. Since he wanted to gamble, he had to choose a powerful opponent, which would be more challenging.

"Boss, your idea is crazy, but it does not mean there is no hope of success. If we want to block the franc, lira, and bisetta at the same time, I think it will take at least 100 billion US dollars. I still hope you can think carefully about it. If we fail, do you have the ability to suffer a loss of 100 billion US dollars."

Zhu Mingyang smiled: "Mr. Will, don't worry. Since I want to block it, I won't lose it. Don't worry! I believe that only when we sound the horn of the offensive, all the financialists will follow up, which will cause panic selling of francs, liras and Bisettas around the world. I believe that under such circumstances, more people will follow up. Even if we fail, it doesn't matter much. The lost 200 billion US dollars means that we don't make money without Soros' blockade of the pound."

Zhu Mingyang looked at Will with a smile, and Will could see that his young and mysterious boss was full of confidence in winning.

Will picked up the coffee cup, thought for a while and put it down again and said, "Boss, since you have decided, I will immediately formulate a plan. If your industries in Hong Kong can follow up in time, I believe that I will have a great grasp of victory."

What Will said is actually to find out Zhu Mingyang's tone. Although he also knew that Zhu Mingyang still has industries in Hong Kong, he did not think that those industries would have great strength, and it would be good if they could even afford billions. Now, after hearing Zhu Mingyang's words, he naturally wanted to implement them.

In fact, Will didn't know that Zhu Mingyang's industry in Hong Kong, let alone 200 billion yuan, even more than 100 billion yuan can be obtained. Especially Bluebird International Commercial Bank and Bluebird Financial Investment have earned more than 200 billion yuan in stock market crashes in the United States, New York and Japan. Now there are more. This is not the 500 billion US dollars of funds used by Lin Mingqing to secretly acquire the core enterprises of the top two large conglomerates in Japan...

Of course, like the two investment companies controlled by Wang Ming from Shenzhen and Tian Tian from Shanghai in China...

Anyway, it is easy for Zhu Mingyang to treat these three countries. If Zhu Mingyang ignores his asset shrinkage, even if he launches a financial war against the United States, it will cause the US economy to regress for twenty years...

Of course, Zhu Mingyang must not do anything like this, killing ten thousand enemies and hurting himself for five thousand. He would not do this until he had no choice...

Once Zhu Mingyang's goal is achieved, Zhu Mingyang will be either rich or comparable to a country, and even the foreign exchange reserves of the entire European country are not as high as the US dollar he has. By that time, if Zhu Mingyang is willing, his wealth will definitely defeat the economy of any country.

"Mr. Will, I know you have a lot of friends on Wall Street in New York. Don't you want them to make a big fortune in Europe with us?"

Will looked at Zhu Mingyang for a while and suddenly smiled: "Boss, you are a genius and a devil. I believe that no one in this world wants to be an opponent with you. Let me do this. I believe that my friends are very willing to join our camp."

Zhu Mingyang looked at Will's background and smiled. Although he could win with his own ability, after all, one more helper would give him more confidence in success. At the same time, he did not want his real wealth to make people know that once he achieved victory this time, London Lide Investment and Berlin's Warwick Investment alone would earn more money. This would have greater influence in global finance, and would not be afraid that families in European and American countries that have hundreds or even more than a thousand years are likely to become leaders in global financial institutions...

At this time, the elusive guy appeared in London for some reason and actually ran to the study room. He stayed in it for less than ten hours and left again. It can be seen from the excited expression on his face that Zhu Mingyang must have given him a very challenging task.

...

The three major giants of the Washington FBI in the United States came together. After discussion, they always believed that Zhu Mingyang would not be in any danger to the United States. Judging from the information obtained through intelligence, they were all preparing to deal with the Soviet Union.

"Gentlemen, we are completely sure that Zhu Mingyang has no malice towards the United States. Although we still know what kind of actions he is about to take against the Soviet Union, we can believe that what he has done must be in the interests of the United States. It seems that American citizens are better, and there are countries seeking interests everywhere."

An American in his sixties immediately said: "I just got a piece of intelligence. Tomorrow, major European and American news media will report an article written by Zhu Mingyang. According to my analysis, Zhu Mingyang is preparing to block the francs, and other financial institutions on Wall Street may also participate in the blockade."

"The guys on Wall Street are always insatiable. They will not let go of any opportunity to make money. This is a normal business practice, and we don't have the need to interfere. After all, the money they make will eventually remain in our United States, and they are the best taxpayers in America..."

"Will we inform France of this matter?"

"I don't think there is any need for this. Although we are allies with France, who would think that our country has more money? This matter will give the French a headache. We should not take any action before receiving the president's order."
