Chapter 348 Space Exploration Company!

The United Kingdom is an old power in Europe with a developed economy. Just as the so-called influence affects the whole body, the pound sterling plummeted, affecting the whole of Europe. Not only the British pound currency depreciated, but also the Spanish and Italian currencies. European countries had to rush to fight the fire.

After one or two months, speculators headed by Soros defeated the Bank of England, and finally forced Britain to withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism!
Since then, Soros has become famous in one battle! ! !
Forbes magazine couldn't help but report on it.

London's "Daily Telegraph" reported on the front page with a huge bold headline, which read: "As the pound plummets, I made a billion dollars profit!"

London, England.

At this moment, many reporters gathered at Soros' residence, and the gate was blocked, as if nothing could get through.

Soros sat on a chair on the balcony and watched the "Daily Telegraph" report, with a smug smile on his face, and the noise of reporters came from downstairs not far away.

"Jingle Bell!"

A phone rings.

"Soros, hello, I'm Kelis, the editor of The Times!" A very magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the microphone.

"Oh, Kelly, hello!!" Soros said happily.

"Huh? What's going on, you're so noisy over there?" Kelly asked, hearing commotion on the phone.

"I'm in London," Soros replied, his voice agitated. "I don't know if you read the Daily Telegraph?"

"Look!" Kerris was puzzled.

Soros said distressedly: "Oh, my place is full of reporters now. I wanted to go out to play tennis, but now I can't. I don't know what to do. What should I do? Can you give me a suggestion?"

Kelly frowned, a black line flashed across his forehead, what the hell, are you showing off like this?Hmph, I'm really embarrassed.

"Soros, before I make a suggestion, I want to know one thing." Kelly said.

"what's up?"

"Is the Daily Telegraph report true? You really made $10 billion?!"

Soros immediately replied proudly: "Of course it is true, it's obvious!!!"

"Soros, if you want to be more famous, maybe you should ask me to write an article for you, detailing what you did during the pound crisis!"

Soros thought about it and agreed, "Okay!"

Kellys is the editor of The Times, one of the major British newspapers with great influence.

The pound crisis not only increased Soros's personal income by more than $10 billion, but also increased the Quantum Fund by 70%.Fame and fortune! ! !If the "Times" reports on Soros and Quantum Fund, it will not only promote the development of Quantum Fund, make more rich people willing to hand over their wealth to Quantum Fund, but also let international speculators know Soros. After that, if Soros and If Quantum Fund takes any action, it will respond to everyone!
In the financial world, there are many powerful financial tycoons who can sometimes make stocks rise or fall with just one sentence.

Soros also wants to be this kind of big shot!
Not long after, the phone rang again.

When Soros saw the phone, his expression was shocked, and he immediately sat upright, picked up the phone, and said respectfully and politely: "Mr. Li!!"

"Well, it's me!" Li Zetian smiled, "You did a good job, congratulations, you have now become the most popular financial tycoon in the world! The name of Soros can almost make Britain tremble!"

"Hehe, I don't dare to take it, I still want to thank Mr. Li for your support."

"Hehe, when you return to America, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"it is good!"

Li Zetian hung up the phone and couldn't help smiling, "Soros is really brave. He dared to be in London, England at this time, and he wasn't afraid of being beaten to death..."

Dongfang Yuqin laughed and said, "When he didn't do anything illegal, he just attacked the British pound according to the rules of the financial market. How does the British government manage it? Besides, Soros is so famous now, and he is still an American. It is impossible to arrest him blatantly. Of course, if he dares to hang around the streets of England with a sign saying that he is Soros, there is no guarantee that someone will beat him up!"

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth turned up, and his eyes showed a hint of amusement, as if he saw Soros being beaten black and blue.

After a while, Li Zetian asked, "How much did we earn this time?"

"Not much, around $50 billion!"

"Well, it's really good."

Li Zetian earned 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars in national disasters in the Soviet Union, so he was naturally not very excited about the 50 billion U.S. dollars.

Now, money is just a bunch of numbers to Li Zetian.

However, he also knows that 1.5 trillion US dollars seems a lot, but if it is used to develop high technology, the money will also be spent quickly.Therefore, it is still impossible to sit and eat deep space.Of course, 1.5 trillion US dollars is an astronomical figure. Just putting it in the bank, the annual interest is astonishing.However, this way of managing money is naturally not advisable. Bank interest may not be as good as currency depreciation, so most of the funds will be invested in various ways, such as funds, stocks, gold, bonds, real estate, and so on.

Li Zetian has a huge financial management team under his name, and this financial management team controls hundreds of overseas offshore financial institutions, and each financial institution has multiple subsidiaries, and each subsidiary may have subsidiaries.With one level in charge, Li Zetian's wealth is naturally well managed.

"Mr. Li, Space Exploration Company has been in development for more than a year. Here is the company's current information!" At this time, Dongfang Yuqin took out a document from the folder and handed it to Li Zetian.

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Li Zetian has dug up many aerospace talents, and then the Space Exploration Company was established.After the establishment of the company, Li Zetian did not ask too much.These former Soviet talents are far away from their homeland, the country is divided, and they feel sad. It is conceivable that they will not be able to settle down and work.Naturally, Li Zetian didn't expect them to concentrate on technology.After a year of psychological healing, these people should be much better.

While reading the information, Li Zetian said with satisfaction: "Well, yes, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Space Exploration Company has continuously absorbed talents, and now the number of employees has reached more than 3, which is amazing!"

"In addition to the talents from the former Soviet Union, aerospace technical talents from all over the world, as for those who can be recruited, we have hired them with high salaries!"

After a while, Li Zetian closed the file and murmured: "Space Exploration Corporation is involved in civil and military aircraft manufacturing, munitions manufacturing, and space development, and it costs a lot of money!!"

"Yes, those engineers proposed a lot of research and development projects, and the total budget is tens of billions of dollars!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a wry smile, "This is just the beginning. In the future, as the space exploration company develops and grows, the research projects More and more, I am afraid that the cost will also increase!"

If he hadn’t made more than trillions of dollars from the Soviet Union, Li Zetian would not have dared to set foot in the aerospace field, especially because he has great ambitions and has been involved in multiple industries in a row. If he does not do it, he must do his best , naturally, in the short term, it will definitely not develop commercial products, but pursue technological leadership!
In this way, space exploration companies must continue to burn money and not make money for many years.According to the news that Li Zetian read from the Internet in his previous life, the research and development cost of the F35 in the United States was as high as 4000 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply jaw-dropping.
