Chapter 281
Chapter 281 Crazy Smith in Soros' eyes
Not to mention the interactions of these British officials on the Victoria cruise ship.
Abel and his convoy left the Thames and headed for London.
London is not only the heart of the UK but also the heart of Europe.
In bustling London, countless roads intersect and various buildings are located on either side of each road.
It was late at night and little Laura was a little tired. The motorcade returned to the Savoy Hotel.
The Duke Room on the fifth floor of the Savoy Hotel. The facilities here are not exactly a luxurious suite in a hotel but a room inside a castle in the typical aristocratic style of the Middle Ages.
Everything looks very old, very European, full of medieval flavor.
Abel doesn't like them very much. But baby Laura really likes it. After moving in in the afternoon, she was very satisfied with this place.
When she returned home in the evening, she continued to appreciate the room's decoration with great interest.
Abel took a bottle of xo from the wine cellar, which was the best brandy.
Personally, he doesn't like drinking alcohol, mainly because he can't feel the delicious taste of alcohol. Let's have a glass of wine tonight, it has a purpose.
Abel asked: "Drink?"
"Okay, but I'll take a shower first." Having finished speaking, little Laura entered a room in the suite.
This Duke suite has 3 bedrooms.
Abel dimmed the lights, put a few ice cubes in the glass and poured half a glass of brandy.
Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows,
In the distance is Tower Bridge. Feel,
atmosphere,
here.
Maybe you can stop drinking.
He has a smile on his face.
We are in England, in London, not in America.
Catherine, Marcus and other members of the secret service did not come forward. In this room, there were only him and little Laura left.
I've known her for more than six months and the relationship has been confirmed for more than four months.
Judging from the relationship between the fish and the breeder, baby Laura is already the longest fish in her pond.
Fish farmers don't want to wait any longer.
He took out the prepared key from his pocket and walked towards the door of little Laura's room. The door is still locked as usual.
From the last time until now, this girl has been very suspicious of him.
I always emphasized that I had to at least wait until the engagement was over before I could actually touch him.
Regarding the engagement, the Smith family and the Bush family have completed negotiations.
will take place this Christmas. At that time, they happened to have known each other for a year so they had some memories.
Neither Abel nor little Laura objected.
In other words, if he wanted to listen to little Laura, Abel had to endure at least five months.
If he was in America, he could handle it. But now it is in London, and members of the Bush family are assured that she will go with them. So why hesitate?
Abel inserted the prepared door key and the door opened with a sound.
With a smug smile on his face, he walked towards the bathroom with the door closed, the sound of water and little Laura's singing coming from outside.
Halfway there, he began to undress. When he walked towards the bathroom door, he was only left with a large pair of shorts.
"Ah!"
Little Laura saw her boyfriend standing in front of the bathroom door and she screamed in fear. THEREFORE…
(This is a kindergarten car, 10,000 skip here, when to put 5,000 and write when)
tomorrow.
Abel never left the Savoy Hotel and was always by her side.
The girl's discontent finally dissipated a lot.
But just because Abel doesn't go out doesn't mean his entourage isn't active.
Except for some Rock Security employees. Abel's advisory group was largely established during this period and operated in England, mainly in London.
The third day.
Abel doesn't go out and stays with baby Laura at the hotel.
Since then, the two officially live together.
Wednesday, noon. Abel hasn't gone out all morning.
But an unexpected guest appeared at the door.
When the unexpected guest appeared at the door, Abel was teaching little Laura.
"Why did Soros come?" Little Laura was curious.
"I want him to come. Haha~" Abel touched his head, "Let's go see him."
Ten minutes later.
Two men appeared together in front of George Soros.
The meeting place was on the sofa in the living room next to the Savoy hotel lobby.
This hotel was temporarily booked by Abel.
Currently, except for a few servers, all are employees of Rock Security. George Soros turns seventy-one years old this year.
The old man's hair is white and his eyebrows are half white.
He looked a bit rich, like a kind old man.
Judging by his appearance alone, who would have thought that this old man in front of him had harvested the wealth of many small countries with a financial scythe for more than ten years.
It indirectly promotes Wall Street, international speculative capital and oil capital. On the sofa in the hotel lobby, the two sides took turns shaking hands and then sat down.
Soros spoke first.
The old man spoke English with a clear voice. After sitting down, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Smith. I didn't expect you to come to London. It seems that London's appeal is really great, so great that it attracts all of us."
"Correct." Abel smiled and replied:
"After all, this is the time when the sun never sets. It is one of the most prosperous financial cities in the world. Who among us financiers doesn't love London? »
"Hahaha~" Soros laughed loudly.
After the laughter ended, the largest oil tycoon, the financial sword of Wall Street, said softly:
"Mr. Smith, I think we can join forces this time. You must understand that one Norwegian kingdom is worth ten Siamese."
Hearing the old man say so, Abel raised his eyebrows.
Abel knew what the old man was talking about. I also know why Soros suddenly found himself.
Even Abel has been staying at the Savoy hotel these past few days and hasn't gone out.
In practice, that means waiting for Soros.
Soros's activities in the Kingdom of Norway clearly failed him.
After all, Norway is different from Southeast Asia, or even Han. Above all, this is a European country and also one of the countries with the best economy among the Nordic countries.
Second, they were also great powers at the time. Ancestors are also thieves, and the wealth stolen by ancestors is still accumulated in the country.
In addition, there are rich oil and gas resources, which is more important than anything else.
This gives the country greater financial and economic confidence. Furthermore, the European Union, having done nothing, finally reached out and signed a 100 billion euro currency swap agreement with Norway.
Along with Norway's confidence, Norway withstood Soros's first and second attacks.
Seeing that the powerful attack was unsuccessful, Soros temporarily stopped his actions and began preparing for a third attack.
Look at this, the old man tried in vain to attack the Kingdom of Norway and wanted to align himself.
Abel thought to himself and said:
"The Kingdom of Norway is better than Siam. But George, can I call you that? You can also call me by my first name."
"Of course." 71 year old Soros smiled looking at 21 year old Abel.
"Abel, you say so, the Kingdom of Norway is better than Korea. Last time you didn't participate, because you were too young. Do you really want to miss it this time? »
"So how could this happen?" Abel smiled:
"Didn't I short-circuit NOK? My total investment in USD/NOK has reached 80 billion USD.
"George, I have as much money as you. I'm also short a few Norwegian crowns."
Soros thought: is this comparable?
Wall Street's financial sword serves as spot exchange.
Because only in this way can a country's monetary system be defeated. Thus, the effect of a dollar robbery is obtained.
The main method is to use the US dollar as collateral to lend Norwegian krone to the world and even Norway, then pour it out like crazy.
This will cause the supply of Norwegian krone to exceed demand for a certain period of time and the value of the currency will unintentionally decrease and it will begin to be in short supply.
Currently, to stabilize the national monetary system, the Kingdom of Norway's usual way is to use foreign exchange to buy back Norwegian krone on the market.
These foreign currencies, usually US dollars or British pounds, fell into the hands of Soros and others who were shorting them. The price difference here represents Soros' profits.
This type of practice is called spot forex trading. This means that Soros and his associates are too big, so big that many countries cannot cope with them.
Abel buys USD/NOK and it looks like he also sold the Kingdom of Norway.
But strictly speaking, that's not the case at all. Because Abel is betting on foreign exchange futures contracts.
In other words, Abel is participating in the foreign exchange market and is betting on futures with other players on the USD/NOK exchange table.
This has an impact on NOK's spot exchange, but much less than on Soros.
Simply put, the Kingdom of Norway is a village that prints and spends its own money. Soros took money from outside and took it out of the village. If he succeeds, the money in this village will become worthless and the monetary system will collapse.
Abel stood outside the village, betting with a group of other gambling enthusiasts on whether Soros would succeed.
In general that is the difference. If detailed, it is estimated that a finance graduate will explain.
This is the difference between spot foreign exchange contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts. It's just that in many cases, futures contracts can also be converted into spot forex transactions.
Soros said he wanted to cooperate with Abel because he wanted Abel to cash in on the futures betting position and turn it into a real foreign exchange transaction.
As soon as this happened, Abel became like Soros, directly rising and bypassing the Kingdom of Norway.
It's not like today's Abel, but the Norwegian krone exchange rate is the result of the game.
Although Abel did this, he actually took a bearish stance on the Norwegian krone, which had a major impact on the Norwegian krone exchange rate. But no matter how influential he was, he was still not as good as Soros, who did it with real knives and guns.
Here is the difference between these two currencies in Norwegian krone at the moment.
"Dear Mr. Smith, are you sure you really don't want a bite?"
Soros was not discouraged, the old man continued to encourage Abel:
"This time we have many allies. We have more friends than when I was in Southeast Asia and Korea."
Abel knew what Soros said was true.
It's really just Soros, plus the power of some oil finance capital. Abolishing the pound in 1991 was impossible.
Defeating Southeast Asia and the Han state even a little later would not have been possible.
At the time, I was working with Soros.
This is the power of all of Wall Street, plus the financial power of Europe and even Neon.
These guys, collectively known as the international moneymakers, rush in and bite like crazy to accomplish the feat. Soros was just the spearhead of the attack, the whistleblower.
When the old man said these words, he was speaking to Abel.
This time, for the Kingdom of Norway, international hot money will also enter the market.
Perhaps most of them have already entered the market.
They and Soros are happy to cooperate. As long as it is profitable, you can even own financial capital in the Kingdom of Norway.
Let everyone attack their homeland.
This is financial capital, more terrifying than ordinary capital, and the purpose of existence is to proliferate endlessly.
is the most terrifying monetary power ever created in human history.
Even the events of World War I and II bear traces of their existence. The only way to escape their shadow and clutches is to shut down the country financially.
Even the door was closed, so of course they weren't afraid of causing trouble.
But even so, sometimes they still knock on the door outside.
Like a ghost knocking on the door.
Recovering his wandering thoughts, Abel said softly:
"George, you said it yourself so you should understand that I am just like your friends. As long as the circumstances are right. You understand."
Soros laughed loudly, this financial sword of Wall Street, feeling he knew what Abel wanted to say.
"That's it." Soros looked at Abel: "Then I understand. Wishing us happy cooperation."
Soros contacted Abel.
Abel reached out to shake her hand, but he did not respond to her happy cooperation, but just smiled and said:
"I've been in London for almost four days and haven't been out much. Dear George, I'm going to the Stock Exchange this afternoon. And you?"
"I'll go exchange too." "I am preparing ammunition," Soros said. »
"Shall we go together?" » Abel said smiling.
Soros did not refuse.
Abel took little Laura with him and she didn't talk all the time.
She just smiled and acted like the most beautiful vase. Little Laura knew that in this situation, it was the right thing to do.
A group of people waited and quickly arrived in the city of London.
The abbreviation for the City of London is the City of London, one of 33 boroughs in the Greater London area.
It is located east of St. Paul is famous in London, covering an area of 2.6 square kilometers, also known as the "Square Mile".
This square kilometer land is also known as the City of London due to the concentration of a large number of financial institutions such as banks, stock exchanges and gold markets. Soros came here, initially planning to go to the futures exchange and stock market.
But Abel is aiming for the gold market.
I don't know what Soros thinks. The old man turned around and followed Abel to the gold exchange counter.
The London gold market has a long history and its development has spanned over 300 years. In 1804, London replaced the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the Netherlands as the world's gold trading center.
In 1919, the London Gold Market was officially established and gold pricing was conducted twice a day, in the morning and afternoon.
Five major gold firms jointly set the daily price of gold on the market, which influenced the history of gold trading in New York and other parts of the world.
The most famous of these is the so-called London gold trade.
London Gold Trading is one of the most active futures and spot markets in the world, with the largest daily trading volume and volumes. Generally, London gold is priced in US dollars and measured in imperial ounces.
Gold quotes are based on international quotes from Dow Jones, mainly based on spot gold prices on the London market.
One ounce of gold equals 31.1035 grams. Daily price is xxxx USD/oz.
Similar to other futures or foreign exchange markets, the London gold market also uses a margin trading model. By just paying a small deposit, you can make large transactions, which is the best way to attract small and medium customers.
Cut it open to see, essentially to attract leeks to cut.
On the contrary, if the entry threshold is too high, young leeks will not be able to enter.
Who will dealers cut?
Can't you fight a civil war all day long? The gold market is similar to the foreign exchange market and other futures markets. London Gold can also be traded in two directions, up or down.
You can buy first or sell first.
Therefore, no matter how the gold price fluctuates, investors always have the opportunity to make profits.
As long as this happens during global trading hours, the transaction can be completed immediately. Since this is a market making system, there is no issue as to whether anyone will take orders or not, unlike stocks which will be blocked.
Strictly speaking, the London gold market is not a real place of exchange but an invisible market made up of sales networks of major gold traders.
The exchange's members include five major gold dealers, including HSBC, Scotiabank, Rothschild International Investment Bank and Deutsche Bank, as well as a number of companies recognized as qualified to buy gold from them. .
Then expand to various processing manufacturers, stores, small and medium enterprises.
During the trading process, the gold trader indicates the buy and sell prices based on his respective buy and sell orders. Gold purity and weight can be selected. If the customer requests to sell in a remote area, the gold dealer will also quote shipping and insurance fees as well as the forward price according to the customer's request.
The most popular way to buy and sell gold in London is that customers can buy gold for immediate delivery without having to pay cash and only pay the agreed interest rate at maturity, but currently, customers cannot get gold. material.
This way of buying and selling gold is just a numbers game in the accounting books until the customer makes a reverse transaction to close the position.
This is a huge investment plateau in the investment world, its scale is equivalent to the foreign exchange market, and the daily trading volume exceeds the stock market. Today is the 24th of July, the 4th day of Abras London.
These many days were enough for his people to understand this side.
Its advisory team, as well as some Smith Capital employees, have a presence on the London gold market.
Find him a special room, this is Smith Capital's safe trading room.
A group of people... suddenly entered this room of over 150 square meters, filled with phones and many computers. When everyone arrived, there were 60 merchants in the cellar waiting for them.
Some of these merchants were from New York.
The remainder are recruited locally.
They all spent half a month adapting. Since Abel wanted to come here, these people have appeared.
On the secure exchange, Soros followed suit. The old man only brought along two disciples, and after receiving Abel's permission, they also stayed in the room.
Abel did not hesitate to contact Soros, because the old oil salesman had given him all the communication tools very wisely.
The room security device has also been activated.
At this time in this room, except for the limited wire communication, other signals were blocked.
For Soros to see here is not impossible. The old man has gone through security checks, there are still people watching him and his people.
In hiding.
Without David Mellon, Abel will play on his own.
Abel calmly said: "According to the original plan, we divided into 20 groups. Each group holds a US$500 million position, uses a margin trading model, directly uses 10x leverage, and buys gold from London using a multi-party system. Trading order."
London Gold is a mecca for speculators and a meat grinder for long and short battles.
Every day here countless people achieve financial freedom and countless people go bankrupt and go bankrupt. You can enter the market from $1,000, with 100x leverage and one point increase or decrease equal to $100.
If it drops about 7 points, it will be forced to close the position. For example, the current price is 257.92 to 257.85. It's simply 7 points, not a percentage.
The 60 merchants are divided into 20 operating groups. Each group has leverage of 500 million USD, 10 times, equivalent to 100 billion USD of capital.
1 point of profit and loss is equivalent to 62 million USD.
Little Laura is not very familiar with the financial field, so we can describe her as a novice.
She couldn't understand how dangerous Abel's gold and orders were.
She looked cool and felt very professional. But just because little Laura can't understand doesn't mean other people can't.
As one of the big men of Wall Street, Soros himself is also a businessman, of course he is very clear about this.
Oiler Capital's financial tycoon naturally knew what Abel had just said and its meaning.
Hearing Abel explain the surgical method, he couldn't help but sigh.
This. What kind of willpower does it take to dare to play like this?
Such a huge amount of money, such high leverage. To be honest, Soros thinks that if it were him, he would never dare to do that.
Soros is conducting more spot foreign exchange transactions, with the aim of directly looting the assets of small countries.
Soros had never seen the London gold investment that Abel displayed before him this time. People with small amounts of money, one or two thousand dollars or tens of thousands of dollars.
Playing with such high stakes is not unusual at all and there is nothing to say about it.
But Abel has so much money and still plays such an interesting game. The risks were so high that Soros felt he could not afford them.
If international gold futures prices really fall after Abel's move, then the loss
The loss doesn't seem so great? 20 groups, each sponsoring up to 500 million USD, total budget is 10 billion USD.
Soros had it in his head that he would only lose 8.4 billion if he closed all his positions and would be left with at least 1.6 billion.
And how can the position be closed?
At least a decline of more than 14% would result in forced liquidation.
Soros has never made such an interesting, extremely short-term investment. But it's also clear that London gold can't fall that much in a single day, unless you encounter a very scary black swan.
Thinking about Abel doing this, it seems quite reliable, the leverage is only ten times, not much
After a frantic internal complaint, Soros was not so shocked... No wonder!
Even from Soros's perspective, he felt that Abel's transaction this time was a disaster.
There is no way to invest like that.
I didn't build a position first, just grabbed my weapon and mounted my horse. This type of investment approach and operating style is simply unprecedented.
Soros, who saw Abel's operating methods for the first time, was a little numb.
Under Abel's arrangement, $100 billion of capital was quickly put into London Gold.
Such a huge amount of money, such a crazy speed of entry.
Even though it is the afternoon, the trading volume for the day is the craziest and the market currently has a trading volume of about 5 trillion to 8 trillion USD. But the US$100 billion entry was very clear.
It was like dumping a pile of rocks into a pond and the whole market was attracted to it.
Fortunately, the market is big enough, a pile of rocks falling into the pond will not affect the pond situation at this time.
"Don't worry, just wait."
After Abel finished explaining, his expression calmed down. Despite only trading for a short time, there was a floating loss of 184 million US dollars on the books, gold in London continued to fall slowly, and short sellers were fierce. He didn't care either, turning to Soros: "It might be boring later. If there are results, it will be in the evening at the earliest. If it's late, maybe tomorrow morning." ".
"George. At least you won't leave until evening."
Soros also understood the regulations of the financial shelter, the old man sat right on the sofa in the middle.
"I can wait. I know the rules," George Soros said.
"Are you sure?" Abel said: "Wait a moment, but I will leave for a moment, then check the situation."
Hearing Abel's words, Soros couldn't help but say:
"You still have to go? The trading volume is so large, the amount of money is so huge, the market is so volatile. Aren't you here to watch?"
"I have measures." Abel responded with a smile.
"Same in New York. I spend very little time at the company and always have the CEO on call to fill my orders.
Today Soros feels his eyes have been opened.
First, I see the same investment style as Abel and an ordinary person.
To put it bluntly, it feels like a player action.
Then I learned such an "inner secret" from Smith Capital.
But such a scandalous person and such a scandalous business, as far as Soros knew, took less than two years to more than a year. These scandalous people and companies have made tens of billions of dollars.
richer than your own net worth.
Oilman's financial boss had some doubts in his heart.
Do you need to be a player like Abel to earn so much money in such a short time?
Soros doesn't believe that. If that's true, it's absurd.
"I'll stay here. I want to see how your crazy activities turn out." Soros has decided.
"as long as you're happy."
"Only after you leave, they will definitely not let you go anywhere. You know, an asylum system. »
Soros nodded: "Of course I understand. Don't worry, I came to see, I will comply with the rules."
"Not just you, but both of them."
Abel pointed to two Soros supporters, who appeared to be bodyguards.
Two tall, muscular white men, no less than Four King Kong.
"Of course." Soros smiled.
The little girl Laura standing behind Abel couldn't help but feel a little worried. She is not so sure about the reliability of the financial haven and believes that placing Soros there is not very trustworthy.
