Alchemy Greater China

Therefore, he was very resolute in implementing Melissa's decision to 'cover the position unconditionally'!

It is precisely because of his refined operation that Long Hao saved at least [-] million US dollars in the process of gambling against the trend.

However, [-] million is still a drop in the bucket for a century of gambling. Now that the news that Long Hao's main force has been surrounded has been confirmed, no matter how powerful tk. Morgan is, he can't fill this big hole!

This is the general trend, and technical means of non-financial operations can make up for it.

"Hehe, tk. Morgan is not here, so the representative of Beihai Bank should be here? Princess Melissa, are you here?" Rockefeller also smiled and said: "Princess, if you don't make up the position, soon, For less than $300, I can ask the head of the Federal Reserve to declare you a loser!"

The Federal Reserve Bank is the notary of the gambling game of the century. Although it belongs to the White House, it is not fair, but now that Long Hao's defeat is certain, not many people will care about this detail.

Winners and losers, history is always written by the winners!

"Who said we won't cover our positions?"

Just when everyone thought that no one answered and everyone was about to see the price of gold cross the red line of 300 US dollars, before anyone arrived and the voice went first, a beautiful and fiery figure walked into the hall.

The beauty is like a fairy descending from the mortal world, with bright eyes like gods, and dusty socks. This is... Princess Xianlu Melissa!

She was wearing a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as sea water, surrounded by a group of guards to protect her, as soon as she walked in, the unparalleled aura she exuded made the entire trading hall instantly quiet.

Many retail investors with empty orders who were listless saw her coming in, as if they saw the Virgin Mary, raised their heads and sat up, and hope was rekindled in their hearts.

"On behalf of Beihai Bank, I will make up for the empty orders placed in Long Hao's account. How much to make up for the shortfall, you calculate, how much do you need to make up to maintain $300 an ounce?"

Melissa stepped on a golden lotus, swayed to an official of the Federal Reserve Bank of China, and asked calmly.

"Uh...quick. Do the math!"

The official's aura was obviously inferior to Melissa's. After a moment of surprise, he quickly turned his head and urged his subordinates.

After being busy for a while, his subordinates calculated a figure that surprised him: "Ten, $19 billion! Need, need to cover the position of $19 billion!"

hiss!

The hall suddenly turned into an ice cellar, and the sound of air-conditioning was everywhere.

Let me go, $19 billion, this margin call is astronomical!

Can Beihai Bank make up for it?

"Okay. No problem, the gold is outside, you can go out and count!"

Unexpectedly, Melissa didn't panic at all, she spoke as if the pile outside was not gold, but a pile of ordinary stones.

After everyone understood it, they gasped again and again: Hey, 19 billion dollars in gold, how spectacular is that?Beihai Bank is so rich?People are really more popular than people!

Lots of quick people.I immediately spread my legs and wanted to run out to see it first, but it was a pity.At the same time, these people were stopped by the powerful guards brought by Melissa.

The gate of the exchange has been blocked by Melissa and her party!

"Sorry, you have to be an official from the Federal Reserve Bank of China to do the counting, as soon as possible, or else. I don't believe that you have liquidated your warehouse!"

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

"Well, I forgot to say something! This time I brought gold to express my sincerity. Therefore, I hope that the big shots who are betting against us will also come up with some real materials!"

Melissa stopped the officials and clerks of the Federal Reserve who ran out in a panic, and glanced at the two Johns on the second floor: "I don't care about dollars, I want to see gold coins." , or the ownership document of the property under your name!"

Good guy, how big is this heart?

After saying this, the trading hall was silent for a few seconds, and then boiled again!

This is the decisive battle of driving and horses!

Long Hao's beloved wife, Princess Melissa, represents Long Hao's forces, and will win or lose if she wants to win or lose with Morgan and Rockefeller, the two major families that represent the interests of the United States!

Real money betting!

Compared with futures or something...more exciting!

As a result, the eyes in the hall, like countless searchlights, hit the two Johns in unison.

You are representatives of the United States, so don't be stage frightened!

Come on, bet with her!

"Okay, if you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

jp. Morgan smiled coldly, took out a cigar, and lit it: "I want to see if your gold is endless!"

"I happen to have a warehouse of gold in the Bank of Chicago... As for the ownership document, this is not necessary, my signature of John Rockefeller can represent everything!"

John Rockefeller also sneered, and looked at Melissa without flinching: "You won, the Rockefeller family can take your surname!"

There's no reason to hold back, it's all in the two Johns' favour!

If the other party wants to increase the size, then I will follow!

Want to steal a chicken?

There are no doors!

Facing Melissa's challenge, the two Johns bravely accepted the challenge. This move immediately won resounding applause in the exchange.

You must know that those who can still stand in the hall of the exchange are long-order holders and supporters of the two Johns, so they are naturally on the side of the two Johns.

The counting of gold was completed with the fastest efficiency. The gold brought by Beihai Bank, needless to say, was a huge amount that would shock anyone.

This is also the first time that Beihai Bank's hidden strong financial strength has been shown to the world.

In comparison, the gold nuggets and bars that Rockefeller brought from the vaults pale in comparison, both in quantity and in appearance!

It made the oil magnate John Rockefeller look very bad.

Don't think that he is not as outgoing as JP Morgan, but in fact, he has better face!

To make an inappropriate analogy, if JP. Morgan is a wolf, then John Rockefeller is a cunning lang who hides in the shadow of a lamp, wears a fur robe, and makes plans!

……

When the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, the gold of both sides was finally counted. Needless to say, there was a gap on Rockefeller's side.

And this gap, after an agreement, will be filled with the property ownership of the two Johns.

Strange to say, it seems since Melissa appeared.The gold quotation board in the trading floor, which looked like a thermometer placed in boiling water, stopped being 'busy'.

One by one, the writing board boys waited anxiously next to the telephone quotation man with chalk, but they could only stare blankly, unable to wait for a rising quotation for a long time.

For three full hours, the price of gold hovered between $290 and $292.It seems that you can't go up, and you can't fall down.

It's so weird.

Different people have different interpretations of this.

Those who hold long positions naturally think that this is the dying struggle of short positions, while the "unsteady" investors who cannot sell short positions have kindled a glimmer of hope, praying that the price of gold can survive today's closing market, maybe tomorrow. Ushering in a turning point, then, I must throw away all the 'rotten' empty orders in my hand!

As for the two Johns, while signing the power of attorney for the property under their names.Their eyes glanced at the stagnant gold price, and of course they were unhappy, but their interpretation was more rational: Beihai Bank, represented by Melissa, had put out so much gold at once, and the market would of course have to digest it!

However, just looking at the fact that the price of gold has not plummeted now, it means that this news has less impact on the market than the news that Long Hao was trapped.

Wait until the market reacts.What should go up is still going to go up.

It was precisely because of such self-confidence that the two Johns signed the power of attorney without thinking.Affix a personal seal.

Finally, the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of China acted as a 'notary', and the price of the two sides' margin call read out is roughly as follows.

Melissa's side: $19 billion worth of gold.

On the Morgan and Rockefeller side: $[-] million worth of gold and an estimated $[-] million real estate.

This real industry includes not only some stocks of U.S. Steel and Standard Oil, but also some companies that are considered small for two Johns.

Of course.Any one of these 'small' companies is worth an Edison Lighting Company.

The price difference between the two to cover positions is so huge, it is naturally based on a comprehensive comparison of the current price of gold and the positions held by both parties.

Basically.There is no objection to this margin call agreement.

The 'Life and Death Contract' has been signed, and the next step is to see how the price of gold moves.

If it rises to US$300, Melissa's US$19 billion and the more than US$40 billion that have been filled in one after another will be in vain.

And if it falls... In fact, for the two Johns, it doesn't matter much if they fall by more than ten or twenty dollars. Now they have a lot of advantages. At least at least it won't lose money!

Therefore, from the perspective of a discerning eye, the two Johns still have the upper hand in this "life and death game" so far, and the "golden hill" dragged by Melissa is bold and shocking, but in fact it only has the effect of lingering on one's last breath.

Time flies, and the gold price does not seem to be affected by this 'life and death contract', and is still half-dead, fluctuating slightly back and forth at $290.

It doesn't matter if it jumps back and forth, but it suffers from those small investors, retail investors and speculators, their little hearts are also beating wildly, and suddenly, chattering curses are common in the trading hall.

Finally, the market closed at 291:[-] p.m., and the price of gold finally stopped at [-] yuan. Many people who didn't see the good show retreated unwillingly.

However, they were not too disappointed, because tomorrow is still the market opening period, and the finale of this 'gamble of the century' will be held tomorrow. After deliberation, it may be more interesting!

The two Johns left the Chicago Gold Index Exchange smiling. They had to maintain their demeanor because they were the ones who had the upper hand. However, when they left the public eye, their faces darkened in an instant.

Today's goal was not achieved!

On the contrary, he was defeated by that Melissa!

Rockefeller said coldly: "The telegram from San Francisco seems to be interrupted. The time is the moment when Melissa appeared. I don't know what happened there!"

Morgan said: "We were negligent. The telegraph lines from the west to Chicago belong to companies controlled or indirectly controlled by Long Haoming. It is not difficult to cut off for a while! But I believe that the more they do this, the more they will It shows that they have less confidence in Long Hao's escape! Hey, let's not mess ourselves up!"

"Anyway, there's always something wrong with this matter, let's wait for the real news to come back!"

"John, do you have a bad premonition? Then you sign so readily, so you're not afraid of losing?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of this. With the current price of gold, even if the whole world is against me, it won't go anywhere! 250? 200? Or will it fall below 100 dollars? Anyway, I won't lose money of!"

"Don't use this kind of words to lie to me. You and I are the same kind of people, and we are also partners on the same boat. Even if we really lose, will the money be paid to Long Hao and that person obediently? Princess?"

"Of course not! Hahaha, just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud. Sometimes it won't work!"

"Didn't I just say that when you and I were together? John, you understand that it will be very uncomfortable to hold some things in your heart for a long time."

"Hey, isn't the pregnant woman the most uncomfortable?"

It seemed that these two Johns had made up their minds to play tricks if they lost, no wonder they were so calm.

Only winning and not losing, for gamblers, there is simply nothing better than this.

Things really happened as John Rockefeller expected.On April [-], just as Monroe's 'briefing' was drawing to a close.A big change happened again in San Jose, a city on the west coast of the United States!

This big change is: De Jong Wade, the editor-in-chief of the "San Jose Courier-Journal", brought the latest news about the British home fleet!

As if he was in the ring with Monroe, Wade announced the news in the form of a 'press conference', without much notice in advance, until Monroe talked eloquently at his 'briefing', he sent someone in The scene of the briefing.Tell reporters, envoys from various countries, and observers from various parties about the upcoming press conference in San Jose.

"...The Courier has brought the recording of the original words of Rear Admiral Clay Hall, the commander of the British Home Fleet, and the video of his speech. Those who want to watch it can come to San Jose immediately, at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. On time at the Municipal Square Play!"

These are Wade's original words, and the content inside cannot but be attractive!

What is the major general, what is the recording of the original words, what is the video of the speech, these fresh terms are all touching and arousing people's imagination!

Anyway, the 'news briefing' here has finished all the talks, and the filming is full, there is no money to be made, so why don't you hurry to San Jose?

San Jose is so close to San Francisco, you have to go early to get a good spot...

Ever since, Dedesi Monroe's briefing meeting encountered cruel "poaching". Before one o'clock in the afternoon, all the people in the venue had left.

Looking at the venue that looked like "severe alopecia areata" in front of her, Monroe's pretty face flushed with anger, her breasts trembled, and two balls of white and greasy meat almost spurted out of her skirt, releasing her anger!

Although there are still more than ten hours before [-] o'clock on April [-]th, there are already more than a dozen versions of speculation about this 'press conference' that is against Monroe.

A more convincing version is: Since it is the opposite, the news must be beneficial to Long Hao!

Besides, if you think about it the other way around, the "San Jose Mercury" has always been Long Hao's loyal mouthpiece. At this critical juncture, it is simply unrealistic for it to publish news unfavorable to Long Hao with great fanfare.

But the problem is strange here. Whether it is a 'briefing' or a 'press conference', Monroe and Wade released news related to the British home fleet.

If the same object has different conclusions, isn't that self-contradictory?

……

Let the public use their imagination to guess, but still have no clue. On the contrary, it is not as comfortable as some 'stupid' people: whoever it is, just sleep, and the answer will be revealed in San Jose Square tomorrow morning?

It is probably for this reason that the price of gold on the 290th has stagnated at the mark of [-] US dollars. Presumably those European speculators are waiting to see what tricks can be played at the press conference in San Jose tomorrow. If the news is particularly beneficial to Long Hao, then it's not too late to cut off the 'butcher knife' hanging over the price of gold.

The timeline moved to April [-], at seven o'clock, and the municipal open-air plaza in San Jose was already packed with people.

There are upper-class elites, middle-class elements, and even ordinary people who come to join in the fun.

They gathered together for only one purpose, which was to attend the press conference held by the "San Jose Courier-Journal", to hear what Major General Clay Hall had said, and whether his attitude towards Long Hao had changed.

It was close to eight o'clock, and the town square, which was originally quite small, was already dark and dense, with people crowded and bumping their buttocks, and there was not even a good place to sit.

Needless to say, the scene was lively. Fortunately, it was not the first time that Wade held a press conference. At [-]:[-], when he appeared, the order in the square was already in order.

"Everyone, you must be as impatient as I am. You want to know what is an original speech recording and what is a speech video? In fact, this is one of the few inventions of Mr. Nikola Tesla. The rating is not high, but in my personal opinion, it is quite interesting..."

After the eloquent Wade's opening remarks, a large curtain behind him was pulled open, and a row of mechanical products with metallic luster were laid out like a band.

The first is a gramophone-like thing that plays Clayhower's voice.

"I, Rear Admiral Meyer Clayhall of the British Royal Navy...I think that the king of the Alchemy Kingdom, the Earl of the North Sea of ​​the British Royal Family, and Long Hao, everything done in the United States and the Pan-Pacific region is basically in the interests of the Queen of England...Guaranteed His safety is an important task of the British Royal Navy... After consultation, the local fleet I lead will work with the Earl of the North Sea to maintain order in the Pan-Pacific region... I hope that the people living here will be free, democratic, harmonious and healthy... ..." (to be continued...)
