Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Hello, this exchange is suspended due to special technical failure"

"Unplug the line?"

Qingyun's trading team is frantically controlling accounts around the world and buying all the short orders for British pounds they can see. Now is a great opportunity to make money every minute.

As major economies around the world expressed their views one after another, especially after the University of Tokyo prepared to include the pound and the euro in its basket of currencies, the exchange rates of the two currencies against the US dollar soared.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever holds a long position in other currencies and a short position in the US dollar at this time is waiting to receive money.

But what is unexpected is that American capital has done such a great job!

The direct closure of an exchange controlled by Wall Street is extremely bad news, because the huge amounts of money invested by all parties may not be recovered in a short period of time, or even go down the drain.

Because American capital dares to tear its face off and overturn the table at all costs, it must have reached a consensus internally, as long as it can catch any handle, such as unknown sources of funds or other problems.

They will try every means to confiscate the funds and impose heavy penalties. After all, Wall Street suffered heavy losses in this round of financial confrontation and must find a way to make up for it.

Fortunately, there is very good news, that is, American capital cannot control the foreign exchange trading platforms scattered in other countries, especially the three exchanges of Oumeng, Dongda and Lijiaopo.

Having received a large amount of funds from Wall Street, now is the best opportunity to kick the fallen dogs hard. You can still make a fortune by seizing them.

“What are you waiting for? Pull it for me at all costs. As long as it’s a mainstream currency, buy it all! Pull the U.S. money completely!”

Li Zehua, who was in charge of the operation, roared, called Lin Wenhui to his side, and ordered: "Immediately calculate the losses on the New York Stock Exchange foreign exchange platform and prepare to include them in the operating losses."

Lin Wenhui was confused. "Boss, are you mistaken? Even if they use the exchange failure as an excuse to delay, it won't be delayed for a few days. As long as the trading is restored, can't we get it back?

Maybe you can make a lot of money again!"

"Are you a three-year-old child? Or do you think that American capital is just a lamb to be slaughtered?"

Li Zehua sneered: "No one knows their details better than me. For money, these people can do anything!

How about making a bet? The lights in Washington will be bright tonight, and their envoys must have boarded planes flying to all parts of the world.

At the latest tomorrow, some of these long-term colleagues will not be able to withstand the pressure and will be forced to withdraw, because those who are not strong enough are destined to make money but not spend it!
Moreover, fence-sitters like Big Cats, Big Users, and Ruishi will definitely be persuaded to enter the market and short sell to cover the safe withdrawal of U.S. capital.

Where will you get if you pull the plug?

If hundreds of financial institutions on Wall Street really suffer collective losses of hundreds of billions of dollars in a few days, believe it or not, mold will have to come into play!

Otherwise, they will not be able to explain to all investors why the powerful America was framed and harvested, so this is doomed to be a dead end.

Unless Wall Street goes crazy and stupid, it will surrender!
Can you imagine that one company after another goes bankrupt due to lack of liquidity, which will trigger a world economic crisis more serious than the 08 financial crisis? !

Even if they are crazy, they dare to drag down the world economy with them!
So what can Squid Capital Group get?
If it really comes to this, there will be no need for other global rivals to step in. Traditional capital within the United States will take action at all costs, seize the opportunity to take back the Federal Reserve, and then wipe it out!
That's why I said only fools would choose to destroy themselves.

The only way left is to take a risk, find a key area, fight a desperate battle, and use the simplest and crudest way to warn all potential opponents not to try to cross the red line.

Otherwise, mold will definitely fight to the last minute for the benefit of America. Who dares to be the first to do so?

An alliance that sticks together for the sake of interests will naturally fall apart because of interests. American capital can easily defeat them one by one. Although it will cost a huge price in the end, it is better than perish together.

What do you think they will choose?"

Lin Wenhui said with regret, "I thought we could significantly weaken the power of American capital this time, but after all this time, we still have to compromise.

It’s just a pity that the more than 20 billion US dollars invested in the New York Stock Exchange is doomed to be lost.”

"Strength is the only pass!"

Li Zehua said disdainfully: "The strong constrain the behavior of the weak by making rules. If you don't have strength, you must learn to be low-key and tolerant.

If Ou Meng, Da Mao and Dongda were a complete entity, then the American capital's overturning the table would be tantamount to self-humiliation and they would be suppressed in minutes. Unfortunately, it is not the case.

Ou Meng has a strong economy but lacks the power to match it to protect the fruit. Big Cat has the power but no money to update, and Dongda's industrial upgrade has not yet been completed.

Therefore, at the beginning, all parties involved were very clear about their limits. Once the upper limit of power projection was exceeded, each party would stop the action without hesitation to avoid over-stimulating the United States.

For example, Ou Meng only wants to maintain the exchange rate of the pound to avoid Dai Ying investing in it; while Dai Ying is also afraid that the exchange rate trend will be too strong, further dragging down the competitiveness of its own products in the world.

The University of Tokyo simply wants to delay the arrival of the final battle between Europe and the United States. After all, if either side wins, an unprecedentedly powerful complex will emerge.

By then, the spearhead will inevitably turn to Dongda!"

After saying this, Li Zehua sighed and said, "Let's completely give up the more than 20 billion US dollars in the United States. Notify Zhou Shouyuan and ask him to return to the United States immediately to clean up the secret account.

Fortunately, we had taken the risk of American capital turning the tables into consideration, so we only left a small amount of funds in the local area to contain the US. Now that it’s gone, it’s gone. We don’t need any secret funds anymore.

Funds that come from sources without any risk cannot be abandoned either. Any loss that can be recovered will be a gain. The follow-up will be left to the central bank to claim.

Remember, you must not let them get solid evidence. I don't want all the money I have, but you can't force me to make trouble, right?"

No matter how powerful Qingyun Group is, it is just a normal business group. How could it dare to take on the tremendous anger of the collective outrage of American capital with just over 20 billion US dollars?

Compared with the profits in Lijiaopo, Dongda and Oumeng's foreign exchange markets, they are not even a fraction of what they earned. Both sides have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the decisive battle, even with the intervention of national strategic forces.

The winners and losers must also be determined in market transactions. US capital can close trading channels in the United States, but it cannot force everyone to follow its wishes and close all exchanges.

Washington's personal involvement is nothing more than an attempt to gain a decent fig leaf for American capital. Its short-selling funds in Europe and Asia will at least lose half.

Only then will it be possible to close your position and leave the market at a loss at the final agreed price. If you want to get it all back by intimidating others by overturning the table, you are dreaming!

All parties are not made of clay. No matter how powerful America is, does it dare to take direct action against a super economy?

If you are willing to accept defeat, you can only win and not lose at the table. Who would be willing to play with it in the future? It’s not that people are afraid of America, but that they respect its comprehensive strength that is unrivaled in the world.

This huge piece of fat worth hundreds of billions of dollars is bound to make all parties involved rich.

As a gesture of sincerity and to prevent Wall Street as a whole from falling into a liquidity crisis and triggering a greater disaster, all parties acquiesced to the New York Foreign Exchange Exchange being shut down due to technical failure during this period.

There is no other way but to wait until the dust settles in the foreign exchange market and then end this farce by agreeing on over-the-counter hedging based on the profit and loss limits acceptable to both parties.

So what if they are unhappy? They have the final say in their territory. If Wall Street is really pushed to the limit, who will be to blame if the global economy is buried with it?
"I estimate that US capital will definitely retaliate, but it also depends on the target. Long funds that have been protected by several major economies can not only get back their principal, but also make a small profit in the US capital market.

But it will definitely be recorded in the black book and will be the focus of retaliation by American capital in the future!

Although companies like ours can explain clearly and get their principal back smoothly, companies with huge assets in the United States should choose to turn a deaf ear and pretend that nothing happened.

After all, we have already earned excess profits in the Eurasian market, so the loss of the secret fund shares in the United States does not matter. Compared to being retaliated, it is better to keep a low profile and make a fortune. "

Li Zehua looked at the preliminary long profit data and said with a smile: "It's worth the hard work of several months. This time I can at least make back two Yangcheng semiconductor investments.

We don’t want the more than 20 billion US dollars anymore, even if it’s money from public channels, we can just treat it as giving away to beggars.

Then pull it back to 1:2 and take advantage of the situation to short sell, and eat up all the hot money and individual investors who follow the trend to make a fortune, and make another huge sum of money. There is no end to the profit, there is no end to the profit!
Haha!" Lin Wenhui was infected by his open-mindedness and laughed, "It's because of your great planning, boss. One Yangcheng semiconductor project costs more than 600 billion RMB, and two of them must cost more than billion RMB.

If you take advantage of the opportunity to short, I can’t imagine how much money you can make in the end.

In short, with this large amount of income supplement, there is no pressure on investment expenditure this year. "

“The road ahead will be long and bumpy, but I just like to challenge my limits. Please make arrangements. After the short-selling profits are credited, all these exposed fund accounts will be abandoned.

Then the funds are transferred through Bitcoin and other secret channels to ensure that the source cannot be traced, and then transferred to other secret accounts, preparing to make another big bet in energy crude oil futures. "

As he spoke, Li Zehua complained rather unhappily: "These exchanges are really something. Foreign exchange trading is so exciting. If they don't give hundreds of times leverage, they should give 30 to 50 times, right?

As a result, they said that the recent volatility was too big, and they actually gave three to five times the capital allocation. In the past, a large number of people would be liquidated if they pulled a few hundred points, but now they have to pull a few cents. What a waste of time. "

He arranged the tasks in an orderly manner, "Communicate with all parties, and prepare to clear the warehouse and collect the money once the deal is reached. Oh, I forgot, Downing Street called just now.

I hope that after the victory in the exchange rate defense war, Qingyun will cooperate with Daiying to stabilize the pound-dollar exchange rate to around 165. You can arrange it as you see fit."

The request came from Dai Ying, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who called personally. Because the exchange rate against the US dollar was too high, which was not conducive to Dai Ying's subsequent commodity exports, Li Zehua could not refuse it because he could make money and gain favors.

Lin Wenhui wrote them down one by one, and then arranged for people to prepare to reap hot money and individual investors. After all, the attack on American capital was no longer a simple financial showdown.

The interests behind this are too deep, and the major economies have to speak out...

As expected, as Washington launched its lobbying, intimidation and inducement in a hurry, in just one day, some small and medium-sized countries with insufficient strength and funds without strong background were forced to begin to arrange their withdrawal one after another.

The big cat, seduced by verbal benefits, started to show his usual fence-sitting skills. Before, he was showing his deep brotherly love with Hans, fighting side by side to short the US dollar.

The next second, it was lured over by American capital, which in turn shorted the pound and the euro. Not to mention the big investors, at this stage it was just the younger brother of American capital and wanted to make money safely and live a peaceful life.

They must follow the requirements of American capital and honestly take over for Wall Street. Otherwise, they will lose the protection of American capital and will be bitten severely in the dangerous environment around them.

With the public intervention of these two companies, the US dollar exchange rate trend has gradually stabilized. However, the impact of the Tokyo University’s announcement of the introduction of the British pound and the euro to carry out a package of currency peg agreements was too great.

The market is generally optimistic about the strong trend of the pound and the euro in the next period of time. Moreover, Wall Street has not given up the struggle, and bulls from all walks of life will not sit idly by and watch it successfully escape from trouble.

Faced with Ou Meng's proposal to lock positions, hedge long and short positions at an agreed price, and end this round of financial war, Wall Street flatly chose to reject it because the losses would be too great.

Just the published data shows that well-known financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Citi, Morgan, Bridgewater, and Soros are present in many mainstream foreign exchange trading markets in Europe and Asia.

The total short positions held exceeded US$3700 billion. Although they were generally held with four times leverage, the actual principal also reached more than US$700 billion.

This is just preliminary statistical data. Thousands of financial institutions across the United States are not blind or deaf. Wall Street has been openly investing in the British pound for several months.

During this period, they continued to publicly inform the market through various media channels, attracting a large number of international hot money and small and medium-sized financial institutions to join the battle.

They have poor risk resistance, and the first round of low-key and low-cost position building was all taken up by big Wall Street capital. When it was the turn of small and medium-sized institutions and hot money to enter the market, the pound had already been beaten to 155-158.

In short, the holding costs of these people are definitely not low. Considering the current GBP/USD exchange rate of 100 to 175 and the trend of continued strengthening, these small and medium-sized institutions and hot money.

In fact, it has reached the edge of the cliff, but there are still countless investors and institutions outside the market who are waving their money wildly and rushing into the market to go long. There are massive buy orders waiting in line at almost every point waiting to be executed.

If Wall Street capital still had hope of closing its positions through over-the-counter agreements and continued to invest funds to block short selling in an attempt to use a small amount of chips to protect the massive principal, these short sellers would have been eaten up long ago without leaving anything behind.

This causes short sellers to suffer severe losses and psychological torment. They cannot get the chips to close their positions at all and can only watch their principal continue to decrease.

Institutions or individuals with poor psychological quality, or whose funds come from borrowing or unknown channels, and who are ready to follow the trend and speculate to make a fortune, have now obediently gone to the rooftop to line up to get some fresh air.

In just one day, hundreds of people performed high-altitude free fall exercises in major global financial centers such as New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Lisbon, and Hong Kong.

You can’t blame others, because the capital market does not believe in tears. This is the purest zero-sum game. If someone makes money, someone else must lose money.

Don’t you see that even a powerful country like Wall Street is being bullied from both sides?

The online foreign exchange trading market was beaten badly by the bulls and had almost no ability to fight back.

In the offline international financial market, how happy people were before the sell-off of the pound to crash the market is how miserable they are now.

Because the number of pounds actually circulating in the market is limited, Dongda is preparing to exchange 1200 billion pounds in one go (actually mainly euros, but in order to cooperate with Dongda Capital's long position in pounds, the central bank deliberately leaked this information to the outside world).

Jiaobenji, San Ge, and Lijiapo were also preparing to exchange 500 billion. In addition to the 700 billion US dollars that Daiying had previously used to repurchase British pounds, Ou Meng also cooperated in the recovery, and several parties acted together.

This has led to a reluctance to sell and hoarding in the international market, because everyone is waiting for the pound to appreciate. The same 100 yuan can earn a few more dollars in profit if kept for one day. Who would be willing to exchange it?

The artificially created scarcity of pound circulation further stimulated the appreciation of the pound, which in turn trapped Wall Street capital, if the foreign exchange market could still agree to close positions.

But what about those pounds borrowed in the name of large multinational corporations?
It is not available in the international market, so it can be borrowed on behalf of financial institutions in the UK in the short term with an interest rate of 30%. Who would dare to borrow it?
Now the entire British financial industry has begun to tighten its credit and any pound loan contracts exceeding one million in size will be subject to strict review to prevent them from being used as bargaining chips for Wall Street to escape.

It’s over now!
In order to plan this round of exchange rate war, Wall Street borrowed tens of billions of pounds from American companies and financial institutions in the UK through various channels, 99% of which were short-term contracts.

The longest period is only six months, and the shortest is only seven days. This is because the interest rates of long-term contracts are high, and investment banks, which are shrewd at calculating to the core, certainly cannot waste every penny of profit.

Unexpectedly, the unprecedentedly powerful force of American capital would stumble in front of the British pound, no matter how glorious its history was or how powerful it is now.

It's all useless. If you can't pay back the corresponding pounds when the contract expires, your high-quality assets will be frozen.

What, you mean to pay back in US dollars?
Please read the contract carefully in black and white. No repayment method other than British pounds will be accepted!
This was added at the request of Wall Street!
The reason is that they are sure that the pound will plummet in the short term. They originally borrowed 100 pounds, but they converted it into 152-165 US dollars, and then used it to smash the foreign exchange market.

It is expected to fall to around 130. At that time, you can use 130 US dollars to exchange for 100 pounds and return it to the financial institution, and you will have an extra 22-35 US dollars. With leverage, it can be multiplied many times, which is Wall Street's profit.

Combined with the income from foreign exchange trading, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of profits can be earned without realizing it.

Unfortunately, now the exchange rate is 100 to 175, and you will lose a lot if you change it.

The most terrifying thing is that the exchange is impossible. The entire market is holding on to their pockets, fearing that they will miss out on this round of price surge. How can 175 US dollars be exchanged for 100 British pounds?

Everyone is optimistic that it will rise to 200 or even higher. If you want to exchange, I will give it at a loss of 205 US dollars for 100.

Wall Street has to accept its mistakes and has no choice but to change!

Once the contract expires, Dai Ying may not dare to ask the American multinational group for money alone, but it can subcontract the debt contract and let all the mainstream economies in the world come together to collect the debt.

Wall Street doesn't even dare to refuse, because the rules of the game are there. Once it takes the lead in not recognizing it, the globalization of the economy promoted by the Tai capital will die on the spot in front of it.

And the U.S. dollar ba rights, which are highly dependent on it, will completely lose their basis for existence!

So I just had to pay.

Currently, the companies holding the most pounds are Daiying, Oumeng, Dongda (Qingyun has a large sum of money deposited in the central bank and does not dare to ask American capital for money, so it entrusts the central bank to exchange it on its behalf) and Jiaobenji.

These companies are just lying at home, waiting comfortably for American capital to deliver money to their doorsteps. They are really making so much money that they are tired of it.

What awaits Wall Street is not just this round of harvesting. For the long and short sides of the foreign exchange market to agree to close their positions off-site, the conditions must be right! (End of this chapter)
