Chapter 158 Silla
161. Silla
Silla is an island country in Southeast Asia, and its political system is a parliamentary republic. Although it is an island country, Silla is famous in Asia for its high technology and finance.
It is the real "Pearl Country" of the Asian continent. Unlike Shanghai, Silla is not only very developed in finance, but also famous for its high technology.
Its per capita income is even higher than the entire Asia. But their shortcomings are also very obvious. That is, they are very dependent on imports. According to surveys, more than 80% of Silla's materials need to be imported.
Therefore, Silla is also known as a country on the port.
High-income citizens have created a developed financial industry in Silla. More than 80% of Silla citizens have experience in stock trading, and what they like most is to follow the trend of Silla Fund.
Because Silla Fund can be said to include the assets of several major citizens, including Silla's pension fund, retirement fund and social security fund.
Since the bankruptcy of the Li family, the target of the Silla Fund has turned to the stock markets of Korea and Japan. Since China has intervened in Hong Kong, it is not easy for the Silla Fund to continue to intervene.
So their target has turned to Japan and Korea.
At the headquarters of the Silla Fund, Yang Zhao was uneasy as he watched the constantly jumping market.
"Is there something big?" Yang Zhao's eyelids have been twitching these days, which makes him very uneasy. He has been guarding the headquarters of the fund for several days but has not found any problems.
"Am I too suspicious?" Yang Zhao comforted himself.
After thinking about it, he turned his head and asked his subordinates: "What happened to the last WF Group?"
Deputy Lin Rong shook his head and said: "It's strange. After we expelled their traders, they all retreated to Southeast Asia."
"Huh? They didn't protest?" Yang Zhao said in disbelief.
"Yes, boss, not only did they not protest, but they left very neatly." Lin Rong was also very puzzled by this.
Yang Zhao frowned and thought. The reason why they drove away WF Group last time was largely because the Li family, who WF Group shorted last time, was his close friend.
This time, he was just venting his anger for his old friend. He didn't expect that WF Group would leave without even saying a word. This is a bit puzzling.
"Is there any movement from the Blood Sabre?" Yang Zhao asked suspiciously.
Lin Rong thought for a while and said, "Really not. Last time I specifically asked someone to go to Southeast Asia to inquire. For some reason, the Blood Sabre transferred some people to Africa and Europe. Now there are only more than 800 people left in Southeast Asia."
"No."
"That's strange. After the WF Group suffered a setback, it didn't ask the Blood Sabre for help. Could it be them?" Yang Zhao thought more and more.
"Go, find someone to keep an eye on the Blood Sabre and WF Group for 24 hours." Yang Zhao ordered.
After listening to this, Lin Rong stammered, "Boss, just keep an eye on WF Group. What about Blood Sabre?"
Yang Zhao frowned and said unkindly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Rong smiled bitterly and replied, "Boss, isn't it a bit too much for you to keep an eye on Blood Sabre?"
"What's the matter?" Yang Zhao looked at Lin Rong questioningly.
"Boss, Southeast Asia and Africa are the Blood Sabre's nests. Go and keep an eye on them? No one is willing to go even if you give them more money. Money is good, but you have to be alive to take it."
"Is it not possible to transfer people from HQ?" Yang Zhao asked.
Lin Rong said helplessly, "Even if you transfer the Navy SEALs, it will be useless. That is the Blood Sabre's base camp. They are acquaintances of the American fleet stationed there. Provoking them is no different from eating arsenic."
"Well, then keep an eye on WF Group." Yang Zhao originally thought that Blood Sabre was just an ordinary security company, but after hearing what Lin Rong said, he really couldn't afford to offend them.
In the eyes of outsiders, Blood Sabre is just an ordinary PMC company. But in the eyes of insiders, it is a huge battlefield machine.
Although Blood Sabre has few official members now, its subordinate members can be described as terrifying. Now Blood Sabre can gather more than 10,000 regular mercenaries at any time.
Now Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East are all full of these PMC companies. Foreign countries are not stupid. If they can use money to make mercenaries work hard, they will never use their own soldiers.
America is very good at hiring, so more and more countries are beginning to learn to use PMC companies to resolve some disputes.
If a small country like Silla dares to follow Blood Sabre's people, the consequences will be very serious. Blood Sabre has the same right to station in Southeast Asia as the American fleet.
If you follow them, it is equivalent to being a spy, and the consequences can be imagined. Moreover, Blood Sabre also bears the responsibility of selling expired "equipment" to America and the polar bear.
Follow them? Without waiting for the bloody saber to make a move, America and the polar bear will make a move, which is undoubtedly a dead end.
Of course, Tang Wen planned all this not to invade Silla by force. But Tang Wen likes "fishing in troubled waters" the most.
Now the Silla Fund is buying gold at a high price just like the Korean country. Because the last Korean dollar incident made everyone realize that only with sufficient gold reserves can the country's financial foreign exchange be protected.
In terms of foreign exchange, Silla has never been worried. Mainly because there is a gold mine in Southeast Asia to support them, so their Silla currency will remain stable as always.
On Thursday, March 29, the weather was sunny. But Southeast Asia was a little uneasy. Under the law enforcement of the Blood Sabre, the United States and the Polar Bear, the main gold mines in Southeast Asia were stopped from mining.
At the same time, the United States and the Polar Bear jointly carried out anti-piracy activities in Southeast Asia, and all waterways were blocked for safety reasons.
Before Silla could come to its senses, their export business was completely interrupted and the import business was paralyzed.
"What's the situation?" Yang Zhao said angrily while sitting in the command room.
Lin Rong said cautiously: "At present, our import and export business are all interrupted, and the stock market has plummeted."
"How is it possible? What about land transportation?" Yang Zhao covered his confused head.
"Land transportation was seized by the Blood Sabre on the grounds that they were searching for pirates who escaped ashore." Lin Rong smiled bitterly.
"Fuck, they dare to do me a disservice." Yang Zhao realized that the Blood Sabre had already started to lay out.
"Notify all traders to stabilize the stock market as soon as possible." Yang Zhao said hurriedly.
"Yes, boss."
For this beheading operation, Jesse personally flew from the United States to Southeast Asia.
Jesse was holding an imported Cuban cigar and laughed arrogantly: "The import and export business of Silla has stopped. Now short them for me. The current Singapore dollar to US dollar is 1.2582 to 1. I want to see them drop to 1.1."
"Yes, boss." Everyone replied.
Jesse nodded with satisfaction and took out his mobile phone to call Chang Kang.
"Hi, Chang."
"I have already started here, and you are ready to stretch gold at any time."
"No problem."
When Jesse and Chang Kang started, the American shorts and international shorts who had been prepared for a long time smelled the blood and rushed in.
Jesse looked at the falling New Dollar, and didn't even notice that the cigar in his mouth had fallen to the ground. He cursed to himself: "These vampires are coming so fast."
With the participation of international short sellers, the New Dollar fell below the price of 1.2 in less than an hour, reaching 1.0912. At the same time, Quantum Investment also took action.
They took out the New Dollars that had already been in Silla and began to sell them at a crazy low price, causing the New Dollar to fall again.
Earlier, Quantum Investment invested 2 billion US dollars in a wind power project in Silla, and then converted it into New Dollars at a ratio of 1 to 1.2580.
Then use this ratio of New Dollars to buy gold, and then use gold as collateral for US dollars. They used US dollars for settlement, so now they have earned 1.2580-1.0912=0.1668.
2 billion multiplied by 0.1688, they have earned more than 300 million in price difference. Of course, this is not their original intention. They are here to have a big meal. How can a mere 300 million US dollars satisfy them?
"Boss, Quantum Investment and Tiger Investment are frantically selling our shares and shorting our shares." Lin Rong looked at the constantly jumping numbers with cold sweat.
"How do they have our shares?" Yang Zhao said in disbelief.
As Tiger Investment and Quantum Investment sold, one bought at a low price, and then continued to sell. Anyway, they paid the SGD at the final settlement.
At this time, the US dollar was the big head, so they frantically sold and bought tossing the price difference. Morgan and Rockefeller used the power of the consortium to attack the SGD on foreign exchange.
If there is no accident, the SGD today is likely to fall below 1. The American consortium has taken great pains to short Silla.
This time, even the Federal Reserve of the United States came out to secretly suppress the US dollar and profit from it. Not to mention others. Seeing this, the short sellers who were still watching rushed to Silla.
In one morning, Silla Fund had lost more than one-third.
Yang Zhao learned that if it continued, Silla Fund would be finished.
So he ordered to start buying more gold and release American bonds to maintain the foreign exchange balance of Silla. This is equivalent to cutting meat to feed the eagle.
Seeing that the Silla fund began to buy gold in large quantities, Chang Kang smiled. Not only Chang Kang, but also the American consortiums smiled. Their main goal was achieved.
As more than 300 billion funds from Silla entered the gold market, Chang Kang and the American consortium began to secretly release the gold futures in their hands.
The price of gold soared to 1,900 US dollars. The people of South Korea and Japan followed suit. Seeing this, the Chinese financial team also began to participate in the long position, but they immediately left after cashing out part of it. There was something wrong with this.
As gold rushed to a high price of 2,000 US dollars, Chang Kang, the American consortium and the short sellers began to smash the market. In an instant, a series of sell orders appeared like rolling snowflakes.
The Silla fund was stunned, and the Korean and Japanese people and the melon-eating people in Southeast Asia were all stunned. The big guys started to cash out and leave, leaving a mess behind.
Silla is still struggling. It's not that they don't want to get out, but the gold they bought for 360 billion US dollars has now shrunk to less than 200 billion, and it is still falling, which makes them want to cry but have no tears.
The American consortium not only recovered the 90 billion debt of Silla, but also made a lot of money. But all this is just the beginning.
Tang Wen was very happy today. When gold hit 2000, he also sold a lot of goods. Now his small treasury has more than 60 billion US dollars in revenue. How can he not be happy?
"Dear, are you coming to Tan Palace today?" They have prepared a surprise for you, Zhang Siqing's phone rang.
"Okay, I want to see what the surprise is." People are in high spirits when they are happy, and it seems that today will be a double happiness.
