Chapter 371 Sniper Sterling

At 8:00 a.m. on May 1, London time, two Rolls-Royce cars drove into Luden Airport, which specializes in providing services for private jets in the suburbs of London. The car drove directly onto the apron, and an airplane was already waiting here. { ?

The car stopped in front of the plane, and George and Earl Mountbatten got out one after another. The Count said to George: "It seems that every lunch will end since there is a beginning. Although I really want to stay Mr. George in the castle for a longer time and introduce you to my proud collection, you still have a huge family matter to deal with, so our meeting can only end here with regret."

George also told the Earl: "I am very sorry for this, but I have to go back, but I hope the Royal Bank of London loan will be in place as soon as possible. My family needs this loan very much."

Earl of Mountbatten smiled and said, "I think I have heard a lot about the difficulties faced by Big Wood Bank during this period, but please understand that the transfer of funds is not as simple as a change of numbers. Especially when we conduct cross-border and cross-continental transactions, it involves exchange rates and the fund reserves of the country, etc. It is a very complex financial project. I think you need to convince yourself to be a little more patient."

As the patriarch of the Great Wood family, George certainly understood the issue of cross-border transactions of money, and also understood that such a large amount of funds transfer would not be as simple as ordinary people withdrawing money from other places. He needed to go through a lot of procedures, and of course he also understood the work efficiency of these British gentlemen.

"Dear Earl, I don't want to argue with you, but I suggest that the shorter the time possible, the better."

Earl of Mountbatten felt a little confused about George's words, so George continued to explain to him: "Donald, the patriarch of the Down family, attended the press conference on investment signing for Quantum Funds in person at the World Trade Center in New York, and announced that he would invest $30 billion in Quantum Funds. This happened just after Royal Bank of London announced a loan to Big Wood Bank. It was so strange."

Earl of Mountbatten glanced at George and asked, "You are trying to say that their purpose is to target the loan given to you by Royal Bank of London, right?"

George nodded yes, Mountbatten smiled: "I can only say that Mr. George, you think too much, or I don't understand what exactly gives you the illusion that they can deal with Royal Bank of London?"

George wanted to say something, but Mountbatten raised his hand first and said, "Don't say I'm too arrogant. I also investigated this quantum fund after hearing this news yesterday, but the result disappointed me, because this quantum fund is just a very ordinary fund company. Although his performance in the past has been very good, his so-called performances are just small-scale fights and are not a clique at all. Do you understand?"

George couldn't say anything in the end. How could he not understand Mountbatten's words? Perhaps after Tang Ran and others' investment, Quantum Fund could reach a large scale of over 50 billion yuan, but he only invested in the United States and invested very little abroad. He basically had no records of direct investment. This is why Mountbatten is very confident that he was making small fuss.

How can a fund company without foreign investment experience pose any threat to itself?

But although this is the idea, George always felt a little uneasy, because since his confrontation with Zhou Ming at Itley, he always felt that Zhou Ming should not have done such useless efforts. If he did this with such a big fanfare, there must be a big conspiracy!

George is very sure of this, but what will this conspiracy be?

George didn't understand, and then Mountbatten patted his shoulder and said to him: "Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I can assure you that if the funds from Royal Bank of London are not in the Big Wood Bank account within a week, I will allocate funds from my own private vault to you... Can you feel at ease with such a guarantee?"

Mountbatten had already said this, and George had no choice but to thank Mountbatten and then boarded the plane.

The plane took off quickly and Mountbatten returned to his car, but he had just sat down. The assistant in front turned to report to him: "It was a call from Mr. Zhou Ming, who said he hoped that Mountbatten would help cancel the $20 billion loan from Royal Bank of London to Great Wood Bank, otherwise the whole of Britain would pay the price."

Mountbatten was happy. He looked at the phone call that his assistant reached in front of him and waved his hand and said, "I don't have any interest in answering such a garbage call. Just help me convey it. The Chinese named Zhou Ming. If he wants to do anything, let him do it as much as possible. As long as he really dares to use his head to hit the big iron gate."

After saying that, Mountbatten signaled the driver to drive. He smiled contemptuously as he recalled the situation just now: "I didn't expect that he had the ability to call me. It was probably because of the Morgan family. But Morgan's vision was a little too bad. Just this person, such a boring threat, I really can't imagine what kind of idiot he was."

...

On the other side, Zhou Ming hung up the phone in Martin's villa, and Martin immediately came over with concern, wanting to know what was born on the phone.

Zhou Ming spread his hands on this: "Sure enough, the situation is exactly the same as what Morgan said. The Earl of Mountbatten was very proud. He didn't even answer my phone number, but just asked his assistant to tell me to do it if I want to, and he was not threatened."

"Those damn British guys are just arrogant and arrogant!" Martin cursed angrily.

Zhou Ming looked indifferent: "Actually, this is expected. If I called him and he agreed, and then he really canceled the loan from Royal Bank of London to Big Wood Bank. Isn't that the most puzzling thing? Because my deterrence cannot meet this standard."

"So it's necessary to teach those British people a lesson, because if they don't slap them hard, they won't feel the pain," said Martin.

"This is my plan, and I certainly won't let him fail."

Zhou Ming said this to Martin, and then signaled that Martin could go back to bed first. Zhou Ming then picked up the phone and dialed Joros' phone: "I'm sorry to call you so late, I hope you haven't slept yet."

Since there is a five-hour time difference between New York and London, when the stock exchanges in the UK start trading, it happened to be early in New York, so Zhou Ming said this.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, don't worry, this is my first real sense of manipulation of a financial offensive against another country. Every inch of my nerves in my head is excited. Now, unless someone gives me sleeping pills, I can't sleep even if you let me sleep." Joros said, and it was obvious from his voice that he was really excited.

"The bravest commander is indeed very likely to be too excited before the battle, which helps the commander's concentration, but it also requires proper rest, because I don't want my commander to fall into injury because of this." Zhou Ming said.

Joros was moved and said, "Thank you very much to Mr. Zhou Ming. I think I will definitely take good care of my health."

Zhou Ming did not continue to say anything more, so he encouraged him a few more words and asked him to start his sniping pounds. Everything was the same as Zhou Ming remembered. Joros frantically sold pounds in London through the accounts of Quantum Fund and several other cooperative funds. At the same time, Joros' other account was frantically buying Marks in another foreign exchange market.

This is how Joros operates. It may seem that they have nothing to do with each other, but in fact it is not like this.

The so-called European exchange rate system is the predecessor of the euro, the first step in unifying the currency of the entire European country, and the unification of the currencies of all European member states.

This involves a problem, that is, the differences in the economic situation and interest rates of each country. Simply put, a country's economic situation is very good, so that a higher interest rate can be maintained. On the contrary, it is necessary to stimulate commodity exports by devaluing the currency to stimulate economic development. In fact, one of the important reasons why the two countries in East China can become advanced countries is that the exchange rates of their own currencies are quite low.

Maintaining relatively fixed exchange rates with each other is the basis for the unity of currency between member states. However, if inflation occurs within a country and interest rates are raised, then other countries will obviously have to raise them together. But the problem is that if another country has a domestic economic downturn and cannot maintain a higher interest rate? Then what awaits them is the collapse of the economic order.

This is what it is in Europe now. Germany has just experienced unification, and inflation has caused the country and raised interest rates. Therefore, the UK must follow up. However, the UK's economy is far inferior to Germany. It is in a very dangerous situation to maintain high interest rates.

Now Joros sells pounds in large quantities to ignite the inflated interest rates maintained by the pound itself and prompts the pound to depreciate; at this time Joros also bought the relatively stable German Mark. When the pound depreciates, Joros will buy back the pound and make a big profit.

To put it simply, some people sell eggs for 50 cents, and some people sell bread for one dollar, which means that one bread can be exchanged for two eggs. This is how people changed it, but suddenly one day, someone exchanged a lot of bread for two eggs, and then sold eggs on the market, maliciously lowering the price to three cents. Then other egg sellers can only reduce the price. At this time, one bread can be exchanged for three eggs.

Then this person then exchanges the bread in his hand for his own eggs in a ratio of one to three. Then, due to the change in proportion, when the person exchanges all his eggs back, there will definitely be a lot of more bread in his hand, which is the money he earns. In this commercial game, pounds are eggs and German Marks are bread.

However, as a well-known speculative tycoon in later generations, Joros' financial means would certainly not be that simple. Since the depreciation of the currency would stimulate domestic commodity exports and then drive economic development, Joros also sold out a large part of the funds to crazily buy stocks of some domestic export trade companies in the UK.

After Joros finished the series of layouts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and leaned easily on the chair: "Now, let's see how those British guys should deal with it!" 8
