Chapter 652 New Action

On January 20, 2009, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Ao Guanhai officially assumed the position of Commander-in-Chief during the inauguration ceremony on the steps of Capitol Hill.

Shortly afterwards, his partner, the future American Mystic, was sworn in as the Vice-President of the United States.

By this time, Barron had brought his family, as well as Earl Bute's family, from London to Australia.

The "illegitimate child" incident that happened to Earl Bute made them not in a good mood, so they took advantage of this opportunity to come to Australia for a vacation...

"Wow... America's first black commander, interesting."

The inauguration ceremony was held in the early morning of the next day in Australia. Naturally, Barron and the others did not go to watch it - they saw relevant reports on TV during breakfast.

But after hearing Earl Bute's sigh, Barron took a sip of coffee silently - I'm afraid you never would have thought that the future Prime Minister of England would be of Indian origin...

Of course, that was in Barron's previous life, but now... that's not necessarily the case.

Prior to this, during the general election, the manifesto proposed by Ao Guanhai had two main contents.

They are withdrawing troops from Iraq and enacting universal health care reform.

However, Barron knows that although the United States did begin to withdraw its troops from Iraq on a large scale during Oguanhai's tenure, they turned their attention and focused their energy on Afghanistan, where they once again fell into the "Graveyard of Empires." Among...

Of course, many things are just appearances.

The main reason why the US military seems to be making slow progress in Afghanistan... is that the military's will is still involved. After all, there are some situations, but once it starts, it will not end so easily.

With such a pretense of "war on terror", 5 million 9 goats to eat, coffee cups worth 1,200 US dollars each, and countless bright eyes to get their hands on, how could the military be willing to casually complete the war and withdraw? There is a saying called "raise the bandits to respect themselves", and this is the truth.

As for government auditors...

Well, the helicopter will crash when they return home.

We must know that from 2001 to 2019, the U.S. military’s explicit military expenditure in Afghanistan totaled US$975 billion.

Of course, this is not without benefits for Barron. As one of the military contractors of the alliance, Protector Military Company will also receive more orders - the withdrawing Iraq needs them to protect British and American companies. Security, Afghanistan also needs them for urban defense…

And he can also take advantage of this opportunity to buy "scrapped" weapons and even aircraft, tanks and other equipment of the coalition at a low price - in Barron's previous life, there were reports that 16 aircraft worth US$24.3 million were sold for US$32,000. Lose.

Another major initiative of Ao Guanhai, the universal health care reform, was constantly being kicked out in Congress. In the end, the plan was changed beyond recognition before it could be passed. At that time, there was not much left before the end of Ao Guanhai's term. It’s time…

Of course, this is not what Barron cares about...

As a "close ally" of the United States, he will next be deeply involved in the reconstruction of the American economy.

…

"Faylan, we meet again..."

"Hello, Your Highness the Duke."

The helicopter landed on the Devonshire Poseidon superyacht and took Barron's guests to the vessel, which was waiting offshore Australia.

Zhang Junning wore a close-fitting professional skirt and brought Phelan O'Neill into the living room of the yacht.

After seeing each other, Barron gave Ferron a warm hug:

"The happy thing is that by the time of this meeting, you have become one of the super rich."

"This is thanks to your generosity, Your Highness, otherwise I would not have been able to obtain this wealth."

Phelan O'Neal was originally sent to the United States by Barron's to short the United States through the Black Swan Fund. Now this matter has basically come to an end. According to the final statistics, the income gained from the short selling of the Black Swan Fund this time exceeded 1,000. One hundred million U.S. dollars!

According to Barron's commitment, the Black Swan Fund team can also receive a bonus share of nearly 5 billion U.S. dollars - of which Phelan O'Neill, as the main person in charge, can receive half of these bonus shares. , as Barron said, this is enough to make Phelan O'Neal enter the ranks of the super rich.

Now, after enjoying the final result, aboard this superyacht costing hundreds of millions of dollars, Phelan O'Neill is filled with joy.

"You deserve this, Faerun. I said, if you pay, you will be rewarded..."

"Is there any action next? Your Highness the Duke."

Facing Phelan O'Neill's inquiry, Barron smiled and said:

"You don't need to think about it for the time being. At least for now, you should relax... What I can tell you is that you have the choice, and it is much easier than the previous investment in the United States."

This time Barron was specially used to entertain Phelan O'Neill, so a large number of Yingying Yanyan quickly appeared on the super yacht, all of which were enthusiastic local Australian models.

Of course, Barron has no interest in these models at all, and now it is time for Ferron and his team to relax.

In fact, as Barron said, Ferran O'Neill's next task is also very simple. After the short-selling action of the Black Swan Fund in the subprime mortgage crisis - at least in the short-selling action in the US market - is over, there is no need for it to continue to exist.

After all, it is also because of the amazing returns obtained through short-selling during this subprime mortgage crisis that the Black Swan Fund has become more and more eye-catching. This is not a good thing for future actions, so it needs to change its vest, at least it should not be so high-profile.

And next, Ferran O'Neill will not need to "fight alone" like in New York...

This time, his target will be on the Asian market - mainly the markets of Japan and South Korea, and short those markets.

And fighting side by side with him are people from Wall Street capital such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.

Well, to be precise, this will be a large-scale short-selling of the financial markets of these two countries by Barron and Wall Street capital.

After all, Wall Street capitals such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase have suffered quite a bit of losses in this subprime mortgage crisis, so they really need to recover some blood in overseas markets...

This time, Barron will inject $20 billion of funds into the "vest" company managed by Phelan O'Neill's team through IE Fund, Rich23 Capital and other channels, plus funds from other Wall Street capitals, with a total scale of more than $50 billion, to short the Japanese and South Korean markets.

I believe that through his experience in New York, Phelan O'Neill will be very interested in this action.

After all, just in terms of security, there is no need to worry too much about this action.
