Chapter 888 Let Him Be that Man

The richest man frowned, "I put forward the idea of ​​'White Wednesday' with a rigorous academic attitude."

George Soros thought he understood with a smile and nodded again and again, then turned away from the topic, carefully took out a document, and handed it over.

Tang Huan glanced at it twice, and joked, "Isn't your office computer Fangyuan Computer? Why do I feel like I made a mistake in my calculations—my income seems to be a little too much."

"Tang played an important role in information consultation, and Quantum Fund decided to give corresponding feedback." George Soros explained tactfully.

Obviously, the quantum fund trio of Stanley Druckenmiller, Robert Johnson and George Soros recognized the amazing energy of the unobtrusive rich man in intelligence collection and analysis, so he hoped to pass In this way, continue to maintain the cooperative relationship.

"Then I would like to thank you for your kindness." Tang Huan was not pretentious, and put the document aside casually.

It is no exaggeration to say that the tens of millions of dollars distributed to Tang Huan from the profits obtained from Quantum Fund's sniping of the British pound are enough to do a national charity. Rose's huge personal income is a match for his notoriety as a representative of speculators.

"Is Don not interested in the next short sale of European currencies?" George Soros asked tentatively. According to the agreement, after defeating the British pound, the richest man's $500 million assist fund will be withdrawn.

Of course, the funder still holds Quantum Fund in the conventional sense. This approach is no different from those European and American dignitaries served by Quantum Fund.

However, Tang Huan still had a plan in mind, that is, buying Quantum Fund was also a means of gathering intelligence.

"Qinhe Strategy participates in shorting the British pound. There are valid reasons and we are not afraid of arguing, but if we also participate in attacks against the currencies of other countries, it may affect my main business." Tang Huan said affirmatively.

"I'm afraid this is a way to deceive people." George Soros twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.

He has reason to believe that, just as he is in charge of other funds besides the Quantum Fund, Qinhe Strategy is only a stronghold that Tang Huan puts in the clear, and there must be another way to participate in speculation.

George Soros continued to lobby unrelentingly and said: "Countries like Sweden have previously raised interest rates to 75% in order to resist attacks. There is no need to let go of such an excellent short-selling opportunity. In addition, a large amount of capital coincides with If you keep your eyes on the equally delicious cake of French francs, you can easily make money if you continue to follow suit.”

"Again, I have my concerns. It's impossible to pursue maximizing profits as freely as you guys, just like before John Major knew that the pound that he kept buying was destined to depreciate immediately, but he still sat on the sidelines. Similarly, there are factors other than financial theory.” Tang Huan laughed heartily, “Look, some of the stocks that Qinhe Strategy once bought in the London stock market are all rising sharply now, isn’t that very good. "

Seeing that the richest man had made up his mind, George Soros had no choice but to stop there and got up to leave.

...

After George Soros left, the ship queen Christina came out of the suite and said with a smile: "My dear, I think what Soros said is very reasonable. Besides, the diplomatic relations between France and China have fallen to a freezing point. , according to your behavior, it seems that you should take this opportunity to vent your anger on the mother country."

Because France, the first Western country to formally establish diplomatic relations with China, insisted on selling Lafayette frigates and even Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Baodao, the relationship between the two sides has suffered a serious setback at this stage.

However, the richest man just smiled, "It's just a wave. This nearly 30-year relationship will eventually return to the normal track. I don't need to mix it up. I can treat it as an entertainment theme. Next year's "Decryption Storm" from "007",

Should be interesting. "

Speaking of this, Tang Huan waved his hand, "Sniping the British pound is just the climax of this European currency crisis, and the curtain is far from over. Under pressure, French ministers and senior officials were even forced to shout out The threat of sending speculators to the guillotine. All this can only show that France, which promoted the establishment of the European Union together with Germany, is impossible to be captured. This time the central bank will prevail. And the really smart capital should on French bonds."

Christina chuckled and said, "Jinlong, Jinfeng, and Jincheng are trying to please me in different ways. They want to get an extra position and follow the trend to short French francs. I think they are about to fall. .”

"Don't promise them, the current tens of millions of dollars is enough to practice your skills." Tang Huan quickly reminded: "Don't you think it's fun to see a genius son being clever but being misunderstood by his cleverness?"

"Of course." The female ship queen nodded, her eyes full of teasing.

The wonderful parents looked at each other and burst into laughter.

...

As the richest man said, the financial turmoil in Europe is still going on, and he has every reason to hold out here, so as to avoid all the hustle and bustle of the United States competing for the next president.

Now, the pattern of the U.S. general election has become a three-legged confrontation-the Republican side is naturally the current President Bush Sr. and Vice President Dan Quayle, and the Democratic side is a pair of young partners-Bill Clinton and Al Gore. In addition, Texas billionaire Ross Perot, who joined the war as an independent candidate, and his chosen partner-retired Vice Admiral James Stockdale.

Bush Sr., who is seeking re-election, still has obvious advantages.

First of all, he caught up with a once-in-a-lifetime change of times-the fall of the Berlin Wall, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the unification of Germany, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Arabs and Israelis demanded direct negotiations, and the threat of nuclear weapons was greatly reduced. All the imagined changes happened during his tenure.

Under such circumstances, the United States has become the only superpower in the world, and it has easily subdued Iraq and helped Kuwait to be liberated. The celebrations and parades for the end of the Gulf War immediately pushed Bush Sr.'s popularity to the highest point.

However, in terms of economy, Bush Sr. has done little. After all, during the eight years of Reagan's administration, the control over capital has been unprecedentedly reduced, which in turn created a 1980s characterized by mergers. Compared with the political legacy, the economic legacy of the next generation is really not flattering.

In this way, in the midst of a severe economic recession, as the election day approached, some of Bush's handles began to be infinitely exaggerated, such as breaking his promise not to raise taxes.

As early as 1988, in the speech given by Bush Sr. when accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican ~National~Representative~ Convention, there appeared a famous line, that is, "readmylips:nonewtaxes"—"Listen up: no tax increases ".

This slogan, which is similar to Miao Cuihua's "look at my mouth shape" line in the movie "Fang Shiyu", later became part of Bush Sr.'s 1988 presidential election platform. It was so vivid that it was deeply integrated into the public consciousness. magic weapon.

But there is one thing off the stage, and another on the stage—the fiscal deficit left by Reagan’s tenure was too huge. Although Bush Sr. refused to increase taxes many times as promised, both the Senate and the House of Representatives were controlled by the people~ Under the control of the Democratic Party, there is nothing that can be done after all. A compromise was eventually reached with Democrats in Congress that raised several tax rates in the 1990 budget deal.

People who have milk are mothers are the easiest to incite among politicians.

Now, Bush Sr.'s dishonesty has become his biggest failure in losing support.

In addition, Bush Sr. also did something to offend Wall Street—in view of the large amount of private capital making waves in the currency market, he carefully planned a coordinated purchase of US dollars by 18 central banks in August this year. The result of the intervention ended in failure, which further enhanced the confidence of speculators.

Watching Bush Sr. lose his advantage step by step, Tang Huan has a deeper understanding of the rules of the game.

On the other hand, when the Democratic Party was unwilling to stand up and challenge the elders, Bill Clinton, the young man who was finally nominated as a candidate, performed quite well.

In the first step, Bill Clinton chose a good partner—Al Gore, who even had a good impression on Tang Huan.

You know, this is against convention. As the governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore, who represents Tennessee's congressional seat, are both from the South, which violates the traditional election campaign where the presidential and vice presidential candidates come from different regions. Strategy. But in retrospect, many believe that Gore was also a key factor in Clinton's victory in the 1992 election.

However, Al Gore did have his strengths. He, who is out of this year's presidential race because of his son's car accident, is widely regarded as the most knowledgeable and eloquent environmental advocate in Congress and a supporter of the development of a high-tech telecommunications industry.

In stark contrast to this, Bush Sr.'s running mate, current Vice President Dan Quayle, has always been the target of ridicule by the American media.

This guy really has too many things to say, the most classic scene is in the live TV, he practiced English spelling with a class of primary school students, and he pointed out that a primary school student misspelled "potato" - "potato", correct The spelling should be "potatoe".

This incident immediately became the laughing stock of the whole United States, and made Dan Quayle bear the reputation of being "ignorant", and even "won" the Education Award of the first Ig Nobel Prize in 1991, on the grounds that "because He exemplified the importance of science education." It can be seen how serious the influence of this public image is.

In short, the unconventional combination of Bill Clinton and Al Gore created a refreshing impression.

Tang Huan had to express his admiration for such a profound star-making ability. As for the sudden emergence of Ross Perot, he can only lament that this shit-stirring stick has really put Bush Sr. in a lot of trouble.

For sending private militias into Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, rescuing two imprisoned company employees, and promoting it through the 1983 novel Onwingsofeagles - On Wings of Eagles, Ross Pe Luo, a billionaire, maintains his image as a folk hero among the American public, and has developed a reputation for doing his best to "take care of his people."

In corporate management, Ross Perot is known for adopting a militarized philosophy based on loyalty and responsibility. This point has been criticized by opponents as only focusing on personal loyalty rather than professional ability, which has a typical "authoritarian" tendency.

In this election, Ross Perot also put forward a very avant-garde idea - using computer technology to realize direct democracy through "electronic town halls" across the United States.

Tang Huan was full of praise for this - applying it to this level is very much in line with my wishes. But the problem is that even the richest man failed to achieve such a level of social experimentation in a small place like Funan Hanouk. How could it be possible for the United States to be so big?

Ross Perot's various surprises further confirm his role as a shit-stirring stick.

However, now is a period of economic recession. Ross Perot, who was evaluated by the political elite as an "untested savage", has money and is willing to spend money. The propaganda has increased. Naturally, it is easy for the frustrated grassroots Get support there.

Shortly after Ross Perot announced his candidacy at the beginning of this year, polls showed that he had 21% of voters' support, 14 percentage points behind Bill Clinton, who was expected to be nominated by the Democratic Party; Compared with President Bush Sr., it is 16% less.

By May of this year, Ross Perot was leading in polls of presidential candidates in Texas and California.

As a result, both the campaign teams of Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton began to attach importance to this opponent and worried about their respective election prospects. As a result, more attacks on Ross Perot followed. Among them, he once sent people to investigate the Bush family in private.

The waters of the US election are too deep. In July, Ross Perot finally lost under the pressure of his black materials and announced his withdrawal from the election.

But in October, which is the 1st of this month, Ross Perot made a comeback.

Tang's richest man, who is powerful, and Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot are all old acquaintances, so it is inevitable that they will be canvassed by the opponent's campaign team.

However, Tang Huan's true thoughts are only known to him, that is, it is best for the historical trend to remain unchanged.

The Internet in the future, just like the current hedge fund, hides supreme power, and the richest man naturally wants to occupy a place.

At present, the national environment for the development of the Internet is beginning to mature, and Bill Clinton's family should be able to further promote it.

In this case, Tang Huan's tendency is self-evident.

However, because of his friendship with the Bush family, he couldn't say anything, so he just ran to Europe to hide.

In the midst of the US election, the inside story of the sniping on the pound was finally exposed, and George Soros was naturally rendered as "the man who broke the Bank of England" and became the spokesperson for all investors.
