America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 466 The culprit of the downturn in the neon economy

The next morning.

Sunlight shines through the high window sills into the master bedroom of an ancient English castle.

After special design, the classical style windows with the function of removing ultraviolet rays are reflected on Abel's face after being refracted by high-tech glass.

This made Abel couldn't help but opened his eyes and woke up from a comfortable deep sleep.

"call--"

Gently exhale the turbid air of the morning.

Abel has now fully adapted to this body.

This body only needs to sleep for 3 to 5 hours a day to ensure sufficient energy for the day and a strong body that doesn't even need a lunch break.

For a long time, Abel felt that except for the financial talent that seemed to be a cheat.

As a reborn person, this body is his most important cheat.

The body is the capital of the revolution, and the capital in this area is sufficient to be more successful than others.

Like Sima Yi, in the most brilliant period of the Three Kingdoms, his personal ability can only be regarded as moderate.

But he was able to live very well. He killed Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and a large number of heroes.

In the post-Three Kingdoms era, he was the most powerful one.

Then it worked.

Modern society, not to mention other aspects.

Those who are successful in business are mostly energetic people.

Abel felt that if he didn't have such a strong body.

No matter how rich and powerful he is.

If you play with women like this, your body will definitely be exhausted after a long time.

When I get old, I will really look at X and cry.

Unlike now, a dozen 25 can barely tie.

One VS three, of course it is even more out of the question.

Abel believes that just this exaggerated physique makes him surpass 99.999% of the human beings in the world.

Hmm...the reason why it's not 100%.

Is it because in the human group, there are still some monsters and strange creatures, which are very exaggerated in some respects.

For example, at the end of Tsarist Russia, Rasputin, the demon monk who partially led to the decline of Tsarist Russia, probably had the same physique as Abel.

This guy who was just a rogue boy in his early years did not know where in his middle age, he learned some messy things like hypnosis and witchcraft.

By chance, he rescued the youngest son of the Tsar at that time.

This made Rasputin suddenly a celebrity in the tsar's court.

In the next few years, Rasputin lived very happily at court.

Not to mention his influence on the current situation and political governance of Tsarist Russia.

Just mentioning Rasputin’s experience in the nobility and high-level circles of Tsarist Russia at that time——

It is said that at that time, more than 1/3 of the high-level officials in Tsarist Russia, including the queen, had an affair with him...

It is also said that this person has a superhuman level of capital in a certain way...

In the end, maybe someone refused to wear a hat.

Or maybe someone wants to save the court that was "disasterd" by Rasputin.

Several nobles stood up.

One of the nobles, Yusupov, organized the rest of the people to invite Rasputin to his home for pastries in the name of his wife.

Why didn't this nobleman invite himself, but in the name of his wife?
Obviously, only in the name of his wife can Rasputin be fooled.

Why can his wife call Rasputin over?

Tsk tsk tsk, Rasputin may be surnamed Wang, and he lives next door.

The nobles put poison in the cakes and wine that Rasputin ate.

Surprisingly, however, Rasputin remained unscathed after eating eight pastries and a bottle of wine.

In desperation, Yusupov had no choice but to stand up and fired a shot at Rasputin, hitting his vitals.

Just when everyone thought that Rasputin fell to the ground and died.

Rasputin jumped up suddenly, grabbed Yusupov by the neck and cursed, then quickly ran out of the room.

Then he was shot three times by another nobleman who followed him.

One of the shots hit the forehead, but he woke up again a few minutes later.

In the end, Yusupov hit him on the head with a dumbbell so hard that he passed out, and then threw him into the river.

It is said that Rasputin struggled for 8 minutes in the icy river before he really died.

The capital is strong, and 1/3 of the noble women of Tsarist Russia may be involved, including the queen at the time...

Xiaoqiang's general vitality may also have the ability to hypnotize.

This kind of thing is placed on the interface of reality without supernatural power, and Abel didn't believe it before.

And when he himself has such a physique, Abel is already wondering, maybe Rasputin, or maybe his own kind?
It's just that this reborn person may be ignorant and ignorant of history.

Kong has a strong body after rebirth and weak hypnotic ability, but in the end he ended up dead in a cold river.

Snapped--

Gently patted Monica Cruz who was closest to him.

The younger sister of the Spanish national treasure goddess.

She looks exactly like her sister and has a very good figure.

The point is that she is as inexperienced as willing to learn and as dedicated as Penelope.

He shook his head and smiled, and got up directly from Simmons.

After a simple wash, it is just right to look at the sunshine outside.

Change into a set of custom-made high-end sportswear without a brand.

Abel ran for about half an hour in the beautiful lawn of Strawberry Hill.

At around 8:30 in the morning, Abel, who had changed his clothes and took a shower, sat in the sunny glass restaurant of Strawberry Villa.

At the dinner table, Abel looked at the newspapers, which were mainly reports about his coming to the UK.

Some super financier, some neon man marauder or something.

But compared to the less polite tone in the newspapers a few days ago.

In today's newspapers, his arguments are obviously much more harmonious and fair.

Abel speculates that this may be related to Neon's side, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun to reduce related funds.

After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has limited funds, which are mainly used to maintain the image of Neon in the world.

To maintain the spirit of "craftsmanship" of Neon people, and other expenditures for a better image.

This is very expensive.After all, all the money can't be used to discredit Abel.

In addition, the neon people actually understand that this kind of slander against Abel is actually of little use.

What's more, they dare not go too far.

Anyway, Abe is also one of their American dads.

Anxious American father, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office will not only investigate Yu Hayami...

It was around nine o'clock after breakfast.

Abel didn't stay any longer, he got into the Cadillac monster, and the convoy set off to London's Financial Street.

The original Smith Capital (UK), now the UK branch of Smith Financial Group.

Abel stood in front of the LCD TV wall, looking at the London stock market that had already opened and the numbers kept beating.

All down, yes, a down day.

But in fact, this is just the trough before the economic recovery.

"Mr. Chairman, according to the latest forecast of the International Economic Cooperation and Development Organization, the neon economy will shrink by about 1.3% and 1.2% in the second and third quarters of this year, and will continue to decline for the whole of next year. The economies of the United States and the Eurozone next year, will also fall separately.”

"Especially in Europe, since the beginning of the new century, due to the long-term sluggish economic growth. Although the euro zone has been formed, it cannot escape the bad luck of falling into economic recession. In Brussels, figures released by Eurostat this morning show that the euro The economy of the 15-nation bloc contracted again by 0.2% in the second quarter."

"In the first quarter of this year, the economy in the euro zone has declined. It is generally believed that if the economy has shrunk for two consecutive quarters, it can be considered as a recession. This is the first time since the establishment of the euro zone that it has fallen into a recession. If compared with the same period last year In the third quarter, although the economy of the euro area rose slightly, it was still lower than the growth in the second quarter."

Abel still maintained the posture of watching the LCD wall without looking back, listening to the latest news reported by Jess, CEO of Smith Financial Group Europe.

Having said that, in these recessions, Abel himself has "helped" in them.

Mainly in the neon area.

Originally, neon was basically similar to the economic recession in Europe and the United States.

The quarterly recession is probably around 0.2%-0.5%.

Maybe even neon is better, because compared with Europeans and Americans, people from East Asian monster houses just have to be more curly.

For late-developing countries, in many cases, "volume" is really the only way out.

If you don't roll it, it's probably the batch from India, Africa, and Latin America.

Don't say that Western countries can live a good life if they don't roll.

First of all, the elites in Western countries are actually more powerful than anyone else.

It's just ordinary people who don't roll, because most ordinary people in Western countries can't climb up no matter how they roll.

Secondly, their ancestors in western countries were more successful than anyone else when they went to sea to rob.

Knowing that there are still so many people going to sea in the age of ten dead, five or six, what is this?
If you want to live a good life, latecomers really have to rely on volume.

Of course, the premise is that in the case of crazy rolling, the results obtained by rolling by yourself are for your own enjoyment.

At the end of the roll, if the results and gains are all given to the boss to exchange a Porsche for a Ferrari, then it's a fart.

Now, Neon's economic recession data is far behind the United States and Europe.

Among them, the dollar/yen exchange rate incident that broke out a while ago contributed at least half of the credit...

The sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate of the yen in a short period of time have affected the neon economy, which mainly relies on exports.

Coupled with a large amount of foreign exchange losses, even the well-funded Neon people will feel a little bit hurt this time.

According to the "post-war" statistics this time, it took almost a month for Abel to build a position, and his profit was about 700 billion US dollars.

The key is that Morgan and Rockefeller are not good at it.

The amount of meat they cut on the Neon Man was definitely no less than that of Aber, only more.

Abel guessed that it might be around hundreds of billions of dollars.

Because compared to Abel, who is less qualified, Morgan and the others cut Neon people's flesh, not only in the international foreign exchange market.

They also shorted the neon stock market at the same time, making money at both ends, much more ruthless than Abel.

The superposition of these, when placed on the macro economy, has caused Neon, which was originally in a better situation, to fall into an economic recession that is greater than that of Europe and the United States.

Thinking of this, Abel couldn't help but shook his head and laughed:

"It seems that everyone has no confidence in the future economic situation. It is clearly shown on the market, haha. Is this really the case? Jess."

"No..." Jess shook his head lightly, "In fact, the situation is not so pessimistic, but rather optimistic."

"According to the minutes of the Bank of England meeting we have obtained, the central bank is expected to further ease monetary policy in the next few months and continue to cut interest rates sharply to stimulate the British economy."

"Actually, in the world, there must be quite a few central banks with similar intentions. First of all, Neon, France, Germany, and even our US Federal Reserve have already blown the wind."

"Our analysts concluded that the collective selling of these banks can dispel investors' fears to a certain extent. The global economy will stop the recession at the beginning of next year, or at the end of this year. Adding the inflation rate It is declining, and the global economy will usher in a wave of recovery in the future.”

"According to the data released by the Confederation of British Industry this morning, UK manufacturing orders rose slightly in March, and expectations for future output are the most optimistic in the past 3 months."

"The higher demand for metals in the auto industry has greatly contributed to the rebound in metal prices, which will put pressure on mining stocks."

"Banking stocks will also be the biggest winners in the future. According to news from the US headquarters, JPMorgan Chase Securities will raise its revenue outlook for the UK banking industry before the US stock market opens, and will also raise the targets for some banks. stock price expectations."

After listening to Jess' report.

Abel turned around, looked at Jess with a faint smile and said:

"It looks like it's bad now, but the future should be good? Well, this judgment is basically in line with my judgment. I don't think you will miss these opportunities."

The global economy has indeed been relatively weak in the past few years.

When George came to power, the economic data was frankly poor.

At that time, many people said that another new economic crisis was coming.

In fact, this economic crisis was already coming.

Only more than ten years ago, the Americans took the Europeans and swallowed the plump red bear carcasses.

That wave made Westerners overwhelmed.

The super financial crisis that was supposed to erupt in the 90s, or even the Great Depression-level disaster, was abruptly postponed.

But also only delayed.

After several years of economic recession, it is time to come again.

It's just that the Americans and major economic powers have introduced various means to rescue the market.

Before myocardial failure, a strong cardiotonic injection is more or less effective.

In the parallel time and space, the Great Depression-level financial crisis was abruptly postponed for a few years.

Until a few years later, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States, which ignited the fuse and led to the emergence of the 2008 financial crisis.

From a macro perspective, the 2008 financial crisis started off almost like the Great Depression.

Even looks more serious.

At that time, Americans were also extremely pessimistic, and there were not many people who jumped off buildings on Wall Street.

At that time, the rabbit saved the life of an American.

What Huaxia did at the time was actually mainly to save themselves.

And it was also after that wave that Huaxia, which has released a lot of water, has enough pools and volumes to attract a large amount of foreign capital, laying the foundation for its future rise.

In other words, on the one hand, it saved the life of the United States and allowed the American economy to live for more than ten years.

But on the other hand, China has also laid a very important foundation for its own rise.

There are pros and cons, and the pros and cons are mixed.

Seeing the other party nodding, Abel smiled with satisfaction and said, "How is it going in France?"

In fact, in Europe, the layout of Smith Financial Group and Smith Media is currently mainly in the United Kingdom and France.

A little bit in Italy, a little bit in Germany, but not anywhere else.

"The CAC1 index of the Paris stock market in France and the DAX index of the Frankfurt stock market in Germany are both in decline, with a decline of about [-]%. The short-term data is not good, but the long-term is also optimistic."

"Hehe, the guys from Vivendi can also make a fortune."

For the Vivendi Group, it is no longer a day and a half for Abel to covet them.

He would very much like to annex the French giant if he can.

But this is difficult, because Vivendi's status in France is similar to that of China's large state-owned enterprises.

In the past, it was simply a French state-owned company.

Its shareholding is very dispersed, and the French government and the Paris government also hold a large number of shares.

It is now considered Abel's largest collaborator in Europe.

Hmm... If you count Universal Corporation in the United States, it is also one of Abel's collaborators in the United States.

Abel has been acquiring its shares, but Vivendi is listed in Paris, London and New York at the same time.

Even the stocks are so dispersed that it is extremely difficult to fully grasp them.

Before the time came, even Abel could only conceal his ambitions for this French business partner.

"Have the lawyers arrived yet?"

Abel asked as he walked towards the meeting room.

"It's already here. Representatives from BMW and Volkswagen Group are also on their way and will arrive in about 20 minutes."

Abel turned his head to look at his head of the European branch, nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"I like your meticulousness, I didn't choose the wrong person. Jess, do it well, I can see it all."

Jess just smiled, and followed Abel step by step.

Unlike David Mellon, who was born in a wealthy family, Jess's family background is ordinary and can only be regarded as middle class.

In terms of personal ability, Jess is actually better than David.

But now David has a higher status. He is one of the presidents of the head office and the CEO of Smith Capital headquarters.

Jess has an idea about this, but he also knows that he cannot compare to David Mellon in a short time.

Jess knew that even though his boss seemed to be very hardworking, he was actually a very affectionate person.

When dealing with women, my boss has a crush on them, and basically never let go.

If you don't like to play, you have to raise it, and you have a strong collection habit.

When dealing with subordinates, as long as they are qualified, even if they are not so outstanding, the boss will still trust them.

David Mellon was one of the earliest heroes from the dragon, not even one.

Just for this, Jess knew he couldn't compare.

As long as David doesn't make too many mistakes, Jess also knows that he will probably only be the second in command.

A group of people waited and walked to the door of the conference room.

Jess quickened his pace and helped Abel open the door first.

"Thank you."

After Abel said with a smile, he saw six people in the meeting room who had stood up to greet him.

The leader is Timmy Owen, a barrister at Clifford Chance, the law firm he mainly cooperates with in the UK or in Europe.

As well as Abel's personal lawyer, tall and tall, with three-dimensional and profound features, elegant temperament, a white short coat and short skirt suit, Aymo Alamuddin looks very capable at this time.

Anne is a "twin sister" with different fathers and different mothers.

"Good morning, Timmy, I have another trouble with you today."

With a sunny smile on his face, Abel hugged Timmy Owen.

The other party also laughed and said, "Haha, it's my job to serve you."

Abel smiled, let go of the hug, and shook hands with the others.

Finally, when it came to Aimo Alamuddin, the latter had a bit of resentment on his face, but she still gave her a friendly salute.
