Li Jin knew about the news that Li Bancheng and his son had finally successfully acquired Leiman Investment Bank earlier than the financial media.
Watching the news being broadcast by the hosts on TV, Li Jin smiled and turned to Su Wanqing, who was massaging his shoulders behind him, and said, "What do these people think? The moon abroad is really so round."
?”
Su Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know whether the moon abroad is round or not, but I haven't seen you so relaxed in a long time."
Closing his eyes and sighing, Li Jin raised his hand and placed it on Su Wanqing's soft little hand. Li Jin sighed: "No way, one thing is happening one after another. I also want to take a good rest, but the tree is still and the wind is not stopping.
.”
"I feel that when I wanted to make money before, the biggest purpose was not to give up on anything because I didn't have enough money, but to do whatever I wanted to do."
"As a result, now that I have more and more money, why am I less and less free? It's better to go to the stock market to make a fortune in the town before, and earn several years' salary casually. At that time, I was free and happy.
happy."
Su Wanqing thought for a while and suddenly said with interest: "Why don't we go back and take a look before this period of time passes."
"Okay."
Li Jin raised his hand and pulled Su Wanqing into his arms and sat there, feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms. Li Jin chuckled and said: "I have already decided. When this incident is over,
I will give both of us a holiday, and it will be up to you where to go and what to do."
"You have said this many times, you must keep your promise." Su Wanqing looked up at Li Jin and said seriously.
"Definitely." Li Jin smiled.
A few hours later, the U.S. stock market officially opened.
Li Jin walked into the command room in high spirits and said to Chen Jack: "Now that the transaction between Lei Man and Li Bancheng has been successful, there is no need to worry about it. I will start this financial crisis."
The reason why we had been operating steadily and not taking advantage of the situation was partly because we were concerned about the backhand of Wall Street and U.S. officials, and partly because we could not make the storm too big, lest Leiman go bankrupt in an instant.
But now that the US officials and Wall Street capital have come out with a backup plan, and Lei Man has completely fallen into Li Bancheng's arms, then Li Jin naturally doesn't need to hold back anymore.
When Chen Jack excitedly went back to implement the plan, Li Jin approached Hu Wenhuai, the leader of the "Royal Forest Army".
"Let's do it." Li Jin said.
Hu Wenhuai didn't hesitate at all, nor did he appear too excited. He just replied with three words calmly: "I know."
After putting down the phone, without waiting for Li Jin's instructions, the huge electronic display screen began to display the real-time status of the major U.S. stock index markets.
There is also a window that displays the international dollar to gold exchange rate.
The entire financial market in the United States immediately jumped five minutes after the market opened.
At the beginning, many people thought that this was just because of the stock market crash and that the market was naturally falling.
But soon, they discovered that the funds for short selling were beyond their imagination.
All stock indexes, including the Dow Jones and Nasdaq, are plummeting.
And this decline immediately radiated to the international exchange rate of the US dollar.
The modern financial system is a complex and sophisticated system engineering.
The decline of a single link will trigger a series of chain reactions.
When it falls to a certain level, it will cause turmoil in the domestic currency exchange rate.
The U.S. dollar, as the cornerstone of the world's monetary system, has not fluctuated much in the past century because its value is directly linked to gold.
Moreover, the U.S. dollar itself is the settlement currency selected by most countries and organizations in the world. Its circulation rate is the highest in the world. It is precisely because of this that when its exchange rate fluctuates, it can have a huge impact on the global economy in an instant.
.
This kind of fluctuation was not obvious at the beginning until...
"The U.S. dollar's 20-year Treasury bond expires, and there is a large number of selling orders in the market!"
When the news reached Soros, he was stunned for a moment.
"Treasury bonds? Someone is shorting U.S. Treasury bonds!?"
Feeling like the hairs on his body were standing on end, Soros immediately called up the trading chart of US dollar treasury bonds.
As a financial product that guarantees national credit, treasury bonds also have a specialized market for trading.
The simple truth is that if you buy a U.S. Treasury bond with $100, if the bond matures in 10 years, and U.S. officials promise to get $120 with principal and interest after maturity, then the interest will be 20% in 10 years.
However, many people may not be able to wait for the redemption date and may choose to sell the government bond at a lower price in the market.
There is also a more profound economic factor, which is the fluctuation of the US dollar exchange rate. Once the US dollar depreciates, there will be a large number of selling orders in the market, which will lead to the rapid depreciation of the value of US Treasury bonds.
The depreciation in the value of national debt means a decline in national credit.
This is a very serious matter.
"The subprime mortgage crisis broke out, the domestic financial market plummeted, and the U.S. dollar depreciated. At this time, they sold a large amount of national debt. This is sucking the blood of the United States!"
When Soros saw that the market had fallen by 5 percent, he became furious.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked his subordinates to call up the trading chart of international gold futures.
Sure enough, as he expected, gold is rising!
The dollar is depreciating, but gold is rising.
This means that the exchange rate between the US dollar and gold will become larger and larger.
As an international settlement currency, this situation will put the U.S. dollar system into a dangerous situation on the verge of collapse.
Soros was so angry that his lips were trembling.
"Jinqing Capital, damn Jinqing Capital, are they going to trigger a world war!?"
Without any time to think about it, Soros immediately asked to speak to Greenspan, the governor of the Federal Reserve Bank.
But he was told that Governor Greenspan was consulting with senior officials in Washington.
Needless to say, this incident must have alarmed the highest level of American officials.
Time passed slowly, and every second, the domestic financial market in the United States was falling, and a large number of investors who were trapped and unable to sell watched helplessly as their accounts were liquidated.
The economic crisis brings not only the evaporation of wealth, but also social unrest.
Racial issues, human rights issues, and the wealth gap that have always existed in American society began to be completely exposed under the intensifying subprime mortgage crisis.
At this moment, in the Qianhai command center.
"Continue to sell U.S. dollar government bonds. Before today's close, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against gold will fall by at least 0.8 percentage points."
Standing in front of Jack Chen, Li Jin looked up at the massive transaction data that was refreshing on the electronic screen, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Completely piss off these capitalists. Only when it hurts them to the point of their bones will they panic. When the time comes,
Whether they continue to target domestic A-shares or defend the U.S. dollar system depends on their choice."
