MTL - America’s Road To Wealth-v2 Chapter 448 The real confrontation begins

  Looking at John Chris's expectant eyes.

   James Robinson, whose back was covered in cold sweat, was stunned for a while, but his heart couldn't help beating.

  Yeah, if only I could beat Abe Smith once in a head-to-head confrontation.

   Defeat this Wall Street tycoon who has gradually gained the title of "God of Investment".

   Then I, James, can I replace him?

  The man who killed the gods replaced him as the new **** of investment.

  This possibility, just thinking about it, made James Robinson's adrenal hormones start to secrete crazily.

   "I...I see."

   James' eyes gradually became crazy, and at the same time became firm.

   "Trust me, Mr. Morgan."

  James Robinson began to ask John Cleese for support, "I will definitely beat this lucky kid. I believe that he will never be so lucky every time!"

   All along, starting from 1999, when Abel emerged on Wall Street.

  Wall Street, one of the most intelligent human groups in the world, has never stopped studying Abel.

  Wall Street studies Abel's investment style,

  Research Abel's investment experience,

  Review every investment operation of Abel,

   Even studied every hobby of Abel, every little detail.

  Wall Street, from the past to the present, has never been less than the number of elite talents who are staring at Abel's research.

   They are like every single person in America, if not everyone in the world, who knows the trajectory of Abe Smith's success.

  They all want to study Abel to find out why Abel's transactions are successful every time.

  They wanted to know what it was that allowed Abel to defeat different opponents time and time again.

   What is it that allows Abel to operate in a different style every time, but the result is always the same.

  James Robinson is also one of the people inside.

   During the two years of 1999-01, he studied every trading experience of Abel in the market.

  Although like other Wall Street people, they haven't researched anything.

  But James thinks he knows Abel very well.

  Because he even knows how many times Abel has operated in the market!

   "Of course I support you. James, I believe in you. David also believes in you, let's do it."

  John Chris said with a smile.

   What if it is not supported? Now that it has been decided to give Smith a little color look.

   And James Robinson is one of the best traders in his own camp.

  So John Chris at this time, in addition to supporting James Robinson, there are several other traders in other places.

  John Chris knew that what he and David could give were all-round support such as funds, in-market recruits, and out-of-market recruits.

  Because of the highly technical operations on the front, he and David are not as good as James and the others.

   Seeing John Chris make such a promise, James Robinson's confidence greatly increased.

   "15,000 lots!"

  Inside the trading room of Morgan Chase.

  James Robinson suddenly shouted to the other operators:

"Boys, use ten times the leverage, use the top 100 accounts in Group A and Group B to buy, and do 15,000 lots of USD/JPY. Also, let our marketing department and publicity department move, we will give that Look at the little cowboys from Texas!"

  Morgan Chase has a very strong authority in the market since the merger of Morgan and Rockefeller stood behind it two years ago.

  It took Bloomberg and Dow Jones decades and hundreds of years to accumulate industry reputation.

  Morgan Chase has owned it since its establishment.

  Its Marketing Department and Propaganda Department publish news and news about the economy and business, which can greatly affect the market.

  In addition to the frontal confrontation in the foreign exchange market.

  James Robinson This is to mobilize Morgan Chase and other related forces.

  Hope that this method can be regarded as an inside trick to target Abel Smith, hoping to affect the USD/JPY market.

   Thus forming a situation that is beneficial to the bulls, that is, their side.

   Watching James recover quickly, he made the most correct decision.

  John Chris nodded in satisfaction.

  In fact, the head of the Morgan family still believes that Abel's success has a lot of luck and gambler attributes.

  In fact, this kind of view is very common among Wall Street and even the successful financial elites in the global financial circle.

  Looking at Abel Smith, since the end of 1999, he showed his prominence.

  In the first two years, every transaction he made in the market was almost like a gambler's operation.

  The leverage ratio is very high every time, the fluctuations are too large every time, and the profits are very rich every time.

  He is like a gambler. In two years, with the tens of thousands of dollars at the beginning, he bet wildly in foreign exchange, gold, futures and other financial markets, and crazily seized profits.

   Once or twice is okay, and it happens every time. Many elites in the financial world believe that there are only two situations in which this guy can behave like this.

  The first case is that this kid can predict the future, he is the prophet and the **** of prophecy in the investment and financial circles.

  This is so ridiculous that unless there is a God, most people don't believe this is possible.

  As for those who play finance and investment, if they really believe in the existence of God, they will not be able to make a lot of money and reach the top of the industry.

  Which financial tycoon doesn't have blood on his hands?

   War mongers still rely on weapons to kill people, but financial tycoons don't need these to kill people.

  If there is a benevolent God, the first to be punished are the financiers.

   Guys who really climb to the top, especially in finance.

   On the surface, there are many devout believers among them, but in fact no one would believe in the existence of God.

  So for the first possibility, very few people believe it.

  The second possibility is that this kid has good talent and is very, very, very, very lucky.

  The earth is big, and there are many people in the world.

  Most people are very ordinary, but in the base of the huge number of human beings.

  Even the most rigorous scientists cannot deny that some lucky people are deeply favored by the goddess of fortune.

  For example, in Croatia, there is an ordinary music teacher named Fran Serak.

   During his life, he miraculously narrowly escaped death many times.

  Including falling out of a plane flying in the sky, crashing a car into a cliff, and nearly drowning in an icy river.

  According to statistics, he has avoided a total of 7 fatal disasters similar to the level of "Death is Coming".

   Not only that, Fran Selak also won the lottery twice, once for 600,000 pounds, and once for 1.06 million pounds...

   And Fran Selak is not the only one, there are many similar lucky people.

   There is an Englishman named Matthew Macdonald, whose luck value is not as high as that of Fran Selak, but it is not low either.

  His experience started when he was struck by lightning for the first time when he was 13 years old. When he was fifty years old, he was struck by lightning five times in total in 37 years...

   And not dead yet.

  Being struck by lightning is extremely unlucky, and it is less than the number of people who win the lottery around the world every year and get more than 100,000 US dollars.

   Being struck by lightning and not dying is turning unlucky into super lucky.

  However, this guy was hacked 5 times without dying...

   I don't know if it was bad luck or luck.

  If this is replaced by an ancient Chinese novel on cultivating immortals, this guy is the existence of tm who has successfully crossed the catastrophe five times, and is even bigger than the Da Luo Jinxian.

   There are many lucky ones like this, some appear every year.

  Their experience, Biaber has made a lot of money in investment transactions in the past two years, which seems to be much more outrageous.

  Most of the Wall Street people who have studied Abel believe that Abel's success is due to his excellent talent, keen financial intuition, and super luck.

   The first two, many successful people on Wall Street have.

   It's just that these people can't last long, and they usually disappear after a few years.

  Since there are already so many people, it used to be like this.

   Naturally, many people think that Abel is also such a short-lived genius.

  Even if he is now in a high position.

  In the history of mankind, there are too many examples of this kind.

   Isn’t the mustache amazing?

  An art student who failed the exam made most of the world tremble under his beard, but he still failed in the end.

   In the business world, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the richest man in the United States at the time, once monopolized 90% of the railways in the United States at his peak.

   When he died before 1877, although his property was only 105 million US dollars, it accounted for 1/87 of the US GDP at that time.

   But now?

  The Vanderbilt family has lost even a voice.

  A small number barely maintain a middle-class life, and many even live in slums altogether.

  This planet is huge, and there are too many individuals of the human race.

   It is not surprising that there are any freaks, weirdos, geniuses, heroes, and heroes in it.

  Legends such as Abel Smith’s experience are outrageous, but they are still understood by most elites.

  Since they can understand, it is inevitable that some geniuses and elites think that they can defeat Abel, or even replace him.

  James, whose adrenal hormones are crazily secreted, is now one of these people.

  John Chris actually has this mentality.

  So the real, invisible war between the two sides has officially started since then.

  US time, April 2, 2002 at 9 am.

   "Wall Street Journal", published an argument from JP Morgan Chase Bank that is pessimistic about the future economic development of Neon.

  JP Morgan Chase believes that the bubble period of the neon 90s has exhausted all the development potential of this country.

  In the new century, it is not easy for Neon to guarantee the proportion of GDP in the world.

   Therefore, JP Morgan Chase Bank will not buy Japanese debt again in the future, but will continue to sell the Japanese debt currently in their hands.

  As soon as JPMorgan Chase made this argument, the Japanese bond selling rate increased by 13% month-on-month that morning.

  The exchange rate of the yen was affected by this and began to fluctuate downward.

  The exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen has risen, and the multi-line trend of the US dollar/yen currency pair has strengthened.

   On that day, the time zone is East Nine District, and Neon Tokyo is at 8:00 p.m.

   Neon, Tokyo.

  Neon Bridge in Naka-ku, Tokyo, where the headquarters of Neon Bank, the central bank of the world's second largest economic power, is located.

   This night, in the Neon Bank building.

  In the office of the Kuroda group, one of the special economic action teams.

  The leader of the group, Akihiko Kuroda, who came from a famous family, had bloodshot eyes and thick dark circles, and was looking at the computer screen in front of him.

   "...Baga! These hateful rice animals are using our big neon currency and national debt as a battlefield!"

  Akihiko Kuroda was in a bad mood with the twists and turns of the yen exchange rate line chart.

"Master Kuroda, should we wait and see what happens? The yen seems to be falling. Just now, the monitoring team found that the rice animal side bought another 16,000 lots. At the same time, their opponents bought another 14,000 lots short Hedging. In the foreign exchange market, there are already more than 1.5 million USD/JPY positions.”

  A small leader of the Kuroda Akihiko Economic Special Operations Group reported to Kuroda Akihiko with an A4 paper faxed by a fax machine.

   In the foreign exchange market, the yen has been a big market since the 1970s, and it is one of the main safe-haven currencies in the world.

  The plate is big enough. Most of the yen futures contracts have a stock of more than 800,000 lots.

   Compared with other currencies other than the US dollar, the plate is much larger.

  But now within 36 hours, the number of positions has reached 1.5 million lots, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

   "Baga, Hayami-sama and Kuroda-sama, let us wait and see. Of course we can only wait and see!"

  Although I really want to join the battle.

  But Akihiko Kuroda understood that if the superiors did not allow it, but he acted recklessly.

  The possible consequences, even his own brother, may not be able to save himself.

   What's more, his elder brother Fuyuhiko Kuroda is still only the vice president of Neon Bank.

   In the near future, it may be transferred to the Ministry of Finance and Economics to work as the president of the Asian Development Bank.

  Although for my elder brother, this kind of transfer is a promotion.

   But for Akihiko Kuroda himself.

  The words of brother leaving Neon Bank. Akihiko Kuroda's own voice in the Neon Bank had to be lowered a bit.

   After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The vice president of Neon Bank is in Neon Bank, and he can manage much more than the president of the Asian Development Bank.

   As for the battle of the rice cattle over the yen exchange rate, whether it is the elder brother Fuyuhiko Kuroda or the president Hayami Yu, they are required to be the protectors of the yen and Japanese debt to wait and see.

   Request the special economic power of the neon party, don't end the game for the time being, and let the rice animals fight by themselves.

  So even if I think about the end in my heart.

  Akihiko Kuroda can only stare at the exchange rate battle of the yen now, standing on the sidelines secretly worried.

   Just this kind of spectating, for the young and aggressive Akihiko Kuroda, it was too tortured.

   The confrontation between the two rice animals on the yen and the Japanese debt, and the news that came over made Akihiko Kuroda double his anxiety.

  “…The sell-off rate of Japanese bonds has increased by 6.5% compared with yesterday, and it is still growing.”

  “…the yen continued to depreciate, and the exchange rate against the US dollar crossed the 130-yuan line.”

  "Neon Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced on April 2, 2002 the real estate price index of "residential" in March 2002 and "commercial real estate" in the first quarter of the same year. The 10-year average is calculated as 100. The composite housing index in March 2002 was 95.8, a monthly decline of 1.6%. Neon Nationwide’s residential land index was 92.9, down 1.8%, one-family built at 94.1, down 2.3%, and condos at 114.4, up 0.3%…”

   "..."

  The data sent to Akihiko Kuroda, because of the confrontation between the two powerful rice animals, is almost all bad news that is not good for the neon economy and exchange rate.

  Actually, Akihiko Kuroda knew that the fall in the exchange rate of the yen was not all bad for Neon.

  Because Neon is an export-oriented economy, it mainly relies on export products to earn profits.

  So the more the yen depreciates, the stronger the foreign trade competitiveness of neon, because relatively speaking, Japanese products become cheaper.

  When the goods are cheap, buyers naturally tend to buy more Japanese goods.

   But the depreciation of the yen is not a good thing, because Neon is an export-oriented economy.

   Except for very few industries, such as romantic action movies and the like.

   Most of the neon industry and the needs of the people are all imported from foreign countries.

  If the yen depreciates, the cost of imported raw materials will increase.

  So the excessive depreciation of the yen is also detrimental to the development of the neon economy.

   It is best to be in an intermediate state, a value that is most beneficial to the economic development of the neon country.

   This is also the most desired state for most foreign trade countries.

  The current problem is the fierce confrontation of the rice animals, which has greatly affected the stability of the yen exchange rate and the Japanese debt.

   I can't bear it anymore.

  Akihiko Kuroda looked at the time, finally walked into a secret room, picked up the secret phone, and secretly called his brother Fuyuhiko Kuroda.

   "Onisan, it's me, I think..."

   "It's Akihiko. I know what you mean by this call. I'm on my way to Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo."

  Hearing what his elder brother said, Akihiko Kuroda immediately lifted his spirits.

  Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is where the Neon Imperial Palace is located.

   But there, at the same time, it is also the real power core of Neon, the location of the Neon Congress Building.

  In Neon, "Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku" basically refers to the Congress.

   "Hi Yi! Since Onisan has something important to do, I won't bother you!" Akihiko Kuroda said hastily.

  He quietly waited for his brother to hang up the phone.

   In Neon, the juniors call the elders.

   Or if a subordinate calls the boss, juniors and subordinates must never take the initiative to hang up the phone.

  If you do that, it will be considered disrespectful, it does not conform to the ethics of Neon Gang, and if you spread it, you will be killed by the society.

  In Neon, the concept of class is very exaggerated.

   In this regard, Han Guo actually learned from Neon from the very beginning.

  It’s just that later it has a taste of being greener than blue...

  Fuyuhiko Kuroda did not hang up the phone right away, but said gently to his brother:

"Ming Yan, I know you and many other people are very anxious. But this kind of thing, it is useless to be anxious. I am going to the National Assembly with President Hayami. I believe that the members of the National Assembly will discuss countermeasures soon. gone."

   "Hi Yi! I understand." Akihiko Kuroda immediately said again.

   "That's it." Kuroda Fuyuhiko hung up the phone.

  Akihiko Kuroda put down the microphone and heaved a sigh of relief.

  However, he didn't leave the office with the secret phone, but sat quietly looking at the phone in the dark without even turning on the lights.

   This sitting is more than 4 hours.

  During the period, except for going to the toilet to eat and drink, Akihiko Kuroda almost never left.

  He stared at the phone.

  Neon time, April 3 at 1:15 am.

  The phone in front of Akihiko Kuroda rang suddenly.

  The leader of the special operations team opened his eyes in the dark and grabbed the phone.

   "Mixi, Mixi, this is the Neon Bank Economic Special Operations Kuroda Group, and I am Akihiko Kuroda."

   "Mingyan, it's me."

   "Onisan! I've been waiting for your call."

"Well, you've waited. Let's start to act. The confrontation of the rice animals has affected us. We have to lower their fire in the end, but we must obey the command, understand? President Yu Hayami will personally direct this special operation. "

   "Hi Yi!" Kuroda Akihiko said excitedly, he waited all day and night for this news.

   Akihiko Kuroda, who was excited, wanted to wait for his brother to hang up the phone, and then start the great work of saving the yen exchange rate and Japanese debt.

  In the end, I heard my elder brother say softly:

   "Remember. You must obey the command, and completely obey the command of President Hayami Yu. By the way, I will call you every once in a while, a secret call, remember to be unblocked."

   Akihiko Kuroda was startled, thinking a lot in a flash.

   "Hi Yi!"

  Finally, the leader of the Special Economic Action Team responded decisively.

  There are some mistakes in the previous information. At this time, Kuroda Fuyuhiko is not the president of Neon Bank, but the president of Neon Bank is Yu Hayami, so adjust it
