Chapter 409: Sharpening the Knife to Head to London
Sure enough, Fang Xiang’s worries were not groundless.
London took action.
The first move is to prohibit banks in John Bull’s country from providing leveraged funds to the stock market.
The second move is to issue an announcement directly before the market opens. In view of the influence of North America and Nikkei, the London financial market will temporarily adopt T+3 measures from now on.
Previously, global stock markets basically adopted the T+0 model.
This means that you can buy and sell immediately, with no time limit. However, the domestic stock market later adopted the T+1 model, which means you can buy today and sell tomorrow.
As the name suggests, T+3 means that if you buy today, you can sell it three days later.
The third move is to conduct strict financial review on the international funds that entered and exited John Bull’s home country in the past week.
"Boss, John Bull is so shameless!"
Turner took the freshly printed document and placed it in front of Fang Xiang.
"What do you think?"
After Fang Xiang finished reading it, his heart skipped a beat, but he controlled his emotions, pushed the document back, and looked at Turner.
"This is clearly telling the hot money going to London that they can have fun, but it is wishful thinking to want to take away their economic achievements!"
Turner said through gritted teeth.
"What if I insist?"
Fang Xiang frowned. This was not the first time he had seen John Bull being so shameless.
If I remember correctly, there was no such announcement in history, so it's obvious.
John Bull is scared!
The stock market crash in North America can barely be attributed to the London typhoon and the panic and blind obedience of the people.
But the Nikkei stock market crash and collapse is not just a simple natural disaster.
It’s definitely a man-made disaster!
"Today's losses in the Nikkei stock market are the largest man-made disaster since 1946.
According to incomplete statistics, the Nikkei fell from its historical high of 35,800 points to 26,200 points in just one day.
The decline exceeded 26%, and the direct economic losses exceeded 800 billion US dollars!
Last year, Japan's total economic output was only over 2.3 trillion US dollars.
Although today's Nikkei has closed, no one can predict the direction of the market after tomorrow's opening. . . "
Just as Turner was racking his brains, a blond and blue-eyed host was reading a press release on a TV not far away.
After listening to this, Fang Xiang curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.
Out of 800 billion US dollars, he only earned more than 70 billion. According to Turner, today the international hot money has twice as much capital as his own, and they enter the market later and leave later, so the actual profit may not be twice as much as his own.
Even if we calculate it twice, it is only 150 billion.
Adding in other hot money, it is estimated that less than 300 billion US dollars were squeezed out of Japan's stock market.
Then... the other 500 billion US dollars simply disappeared.
This means that I have wasted four months of work on this book.
No! It's more than that.
The losses in the notebooks are even greater, but many of them cannot be directly calculated.
It would take several months for the stock market to recover to yesterday's 35,000 points, right?
Fang Xiang's eyes lost focus.
“Boss!
If we want to force it, it's not impossible.
But we can't do it alone. We have to contact the hot money and financial groups in North America and work together.
It is easy for John Bull to stop us, but they cannot stop the hot money and financial groups in North America and the world!
If we all reach a tacit understanding and work together, our funds will only be a small part of the picture, and more of us will be just the poor little ones hiding behind the North American hot money."
Turner thought for a long time before giving an answer.
After listening to Turner's words, Fang Xiang fell silent.
Turner's meaning is very simple. Let the North American hot money and financial groups take the lead and charge into battle, while he just follows behind and reaps the benefits.
John Bull's current measures clearly show that he is afraid, but can fear solve the problem?
The North American stock market collapsed and encountered a stock market crash. A large number of funds and hot money were suffering from heavy losses.
Seeing that the stock market crash has spread to the whole world, it is a rare opportunity to make money by short selling in decades.
Some funds are still losing money and are waiting for this opportunity to make a profit, while some funds have already tasted the sweetness, and London has been put on the table and has become the next delicious dish in everyone's eyes.
How many people can hold back?
The only problem is that John Bull cannot control big capital, but can control small capital.
but!
The bigger the waves, the bigger the fish!
Fight!
“How many North American hot money investors do you know?”
Fang Xiang made a decisive decision, looked up and asked.
"There are still some. Why don't we contact as many as possible?"
Turner immediately understood Fang Xiang's idea.
John Bull, since you are afraid, then I will make sure that whatever you fear the most, will come true for you!
"The more the merrier!"
Fang Xiang nodded.
At this point he no longer cared about how much money he could make.
John Bull had betrayed him twice, and he must take revenge no matter what!
Do you think you can scare me away by setting three measures?
joke!
If I was really scared away by you, wouldn't it be a waste of my journey through time and for me to be tricked by you twice? !
"Okay, Boss, I'll make the call now.
I hope the people I woke up won’t be too bad-tempered.”
Turner immediately smiled in an especially sinister way.
He immediately put out the Cohiba, which he had only smoked less than a third of, on the cigar tray and turned away.
Fang Xiang looked at Turner's back and leaned his whole body deeply against the backrest.
Take a deep breath.
One hundred and thirty billion US dollars, is it a lot?
In 87, it was already a huge amount of money.
You know, when it was sold to Miss San, a wealthy dog owner, the transaction amount was 3.5 billion US dollars.
At that time, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 2 billion US dollars.
Now they have their own companies, including Second Automobile Works, GAC Motors and Great Wall Industry, as well as the new Shanghai Automobile which has already started construction.
The foreign exchange paid to the country every year exceeds 3 billion US dollars.
But even so, the country's foreign exchange reserves are just over 10 billion.
Yes, it is so pitifully small.
Now Xiaomi is still in the honeymoon period. Basically, except for the top-level and most confidential things, Xiaomi will sell whatever China likes!
But China has no money to buy it!
I can only watch helplessly as a lot of good things are missed.
Apart from anything else, the 84 Black Hawk helicopters purchased in 24 were still the most advanced helicopters in the country even in the 21st century.
If the country had the money and bought 124 helicopters instead of 24, would it be able to successfully break through the technological barriers and produce better helicopters domestically?
At first, Fang Xiang just wanted to take advantage of the stock market crash to make some quick money.
I thought I would be very satisfied if I had a hundred billion.
Who would have thought that with a cost of 30 billion, we would have made three times the profit so far.
And now there is only one John Bull left, and the situation of "I am the knife and you are the fish" has been formed.
No matter how much money can be harvested, it is extra net profit.
Every pound earned from John Bull could buy another pound of supplies for the country.
Fang thought how could he miss it.
“Boss!
I contacted all the traders I knew.
They are now ready to enter the London stock market.”
Just when Fang was thinking about how much money he could make this time.
Turner returned to his desk excitedly, pulled out a chair and sat in front of Fang Xiang.
