Chapter 2726 Asking for help from the mastermind
That night, despite the heavy rain, Nohara Shintaro took a flight to the country of hegemony to meet Solomon Rothschild.
"Mr. Rothschild, you know that Chen Mo is shorting Sakura Coin now.
The Fed is raising interest rates at this time. Isn't this helping Chen Mo's evil plan succeed? "
Shintaro Nohara got straight to the point.
Solomon smoked his cigar calmly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes:
“Shintaro, the Fed’s rate hike was unanimously voted on by all members of the foundation, not decided by me alone.
You also know that the hegemonic country is in an economic crisis now, and the real estate market is beyond repair. There is no point in continuing to raise interest rates, so we plan to raise interest rates to attract global capital, and we have no intention of targeting the Sakura Country. "
Nohara Shintaro: "I understand. You are definitely not targeting us, the Sakura Country. It's just that... this rate hike is too sudden.
Can it be delayed for a while, or can the foundation work with us to hedge against Chen Mo?
The economy of Sakura Country has just taken a breather recently and can no longer withstand such a blow."
Solomon smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for you to meet with the head of the Federal Reserve and hold a joint press conference.
I will let everyone know that the Hegemony Kingdom and the Sakura Kingdom are the most solid allies.
If something happens to Sakura Country, it means something happens to Hegemony Country, and it means something happens to our foundation."
Nohara Shintaro was delighted: "Hi! Thank you, Mr. Rothschild!"
Of course, Nohara Shintaro is not so anxious for any country.
He was anxious because the assets of the six major chaebols were deeply tied to Sakura coins.
The depreciation of Sakura Coin is equivalent to the depreciation of the value of the six major chaebols.
On the spot, Solomon picked up the phone and called the fourth Lord God, Rom Powell:
"Hello, Roma? Why didn't you notify Mr. Shintaro Nohara in advance when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates?"
"Don't you know that the six major consortiums in Sakura Country are our most loyal partners and allies?"
"This is just the first time. Don't do it again! You will hold a joint press conference with Mr. Shintaro Nohara tomorrow. Tell them that we will strengthen our cooperation and a series of major actions will take place. In short, help Mr. Nohara to raise the exchange rate. Do you understand?"
"Well, just hang up like that."
Nohara Shintaro nodded and thanked him again.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Solomon sent Nohara Shintaro away.
"Doesn't this kid know the concept of 'raising children to provide for one's old age'?"
You have to be both loyal and filial. If you are only loyal but not filial, then what do I need you for?"
Solomon sneered.
The next day, Nohara Shintaro carried out a series of high-profile activities in Baguo.
First, Nohara Shintaro and his wife exchanged gifts with the current imperial couple.
Shintaro Nohara and his wife presented cherry blossom saplings, Wajima lacquer coffee cups, ballpoint pens, Okinawa coffee beans and "Mario" peripheral products, while Mrs. Nohara presented bronze ornaments of the Emperor's Wife.
The emperor and his wife presented a table made of native wood from the country, a stone tablet and record album signed by Joel, and an art work depicting a cherry tree.
The two sides visited the Yuxu Palace with great enthusiasm, planted cherry trees in the palace and took photos together.
In the next few days, Nohara Shintaro made a lot of big moves.
He held a high-profile meeting with the emperor in the palace for about two hours, discussing cooperation in areas including defense, space, economy and trade, climate change, and people-to-people exchanges, as well as the issue of the Russian bear.
A joint statement from both sides was released on the official website of the Baguo Palace, claiming that the strategic cooperation between the two countries has ushered in a "new era" and announcing a series of projects including joint development of chips to manned lunar rockets.
Immediately afterwards, Rom Powell met with Shintaro Nohara and held a joint press conference.
Rohm said on the spot: "The relationship between our two countries has become a "real global partnership" in the past three years! Especially in the area of economic and trade exchanges, almost all interconnections have been achieved!"
Finally, Roma said arrogantly: "If there is trouble in Sakura Country, it means there is trouble in Baguo! We, Baguo, will always be the best big brother of Sakura Country!"
There was thunderous applause.
Shintaro Nohara was also praised to a point of being flattered.
He thought that since the Hegemony Country and the Foundation had given him so much face, the Sakura Coin must not fall any further.
In the next two days, Shintaro Nohara attended a state banquet at the Imperial Palace and gave a 35-minute impromptu speech at the National Congress of the Hegemony Country, which received more than 10 standing ovations. After the speech, he had a free conversation with senior officials for more than 20 minutes.
After this trip to the country of dominance, Nohara Shintaro felt that he had gained a lot.
……
……
All of this was naturally noticed by the parents' association.
The information reached Chen Mo very quickly.
"Nohara Shintaro is now in very high-profile contact with the top leaders of the Baguo and the Foundation. There won't be any changes, right?" Jiang Pengyue said worriedly.
"Ha ha……"
Chen Mo smiled disdainfully.
He knew the style of the people in Baguo too well.
They appear to be friendly on the surface, but in reality they stab you in the back.
"It's just Solomon's expedient measure. He doesn't want to make a scene that would be embarrassing.
This is like giving Sakura Country some candy while pouring poison into it, just to make you drink the poison less painfully, but what can that little bit of candy change the outcome?"
Chen Mo pulled up a data table of Sakura Country on the computer screen:
"The debt scale of Sakura Country has reached 8 trillion Hegemony Currency!
It accounts for as much as 257% of GDP!
This debt ratio is far higher than that of Greece (113%), which is experiencing a bankruptcy crisis.
It is twice the debt ratio of the Hegemony Country, which is experiencing a subprime mortgage crisis, and four times that of the Great Xia Country, ranking first in the world! "
"Under such circumstances, even if the hegemonic country has already started to raise interest rates significantly, the Sakura country will definitely not dare to take the risk of following suit."
"Even if it raises interest rates by 1% this year, Sakura Country will have to spend an additional 3 trillion this year. By then, there will be no need for short selling, as it will collapse internally first."
"Remember the economic bubble in Sakura Country in 97? At that time, it was because of the interest rate hike that Sakura Country directly experienced a lost 20 years. If the interest rate continues to increase, wouldn't it be a lost 50, 70, or even 100 years?
No one wants to bear this eternal crime."
"So Nohara Shintaro has no choice but to ask the hegemonic country not to raise interest rates, but he has no idea who is behind the short selling of Sakura Coin!"
After hearing this, Jiang Pengyue sighed: "It seems that you have everything under control. No wonder you are so calm."
Chen Mo took a look at the exchange rate of Sakura Coin, which had reached 120.
"It's almost time for us to enter and harvest!"
