Chapter 68 Whiskey on the Rocks
When the morning glow rose, Seryozha finally arranged everything. Churbanov also stayed with Seryozha all night, not caring about his identity at all. Seryozha was busy making phone calls one after another, while Churbanov was helping.
Seryozha asked Churbanov to pay close attention to the progress of the incident, and must ensure the smooth flow of news. Fortunately, the Swedish Navy did not discover the existence of u137 until the Swedish stock market opened. Under such circumstances, Seryosha began to direct Eva and Karim to start with the foreign exchange market and the Swedish stock market respectively, and make a large-scale short sale.
Serezha himself only has about 200 million U.S. dollars in assets, plus the funds obtained from loan sharks overnight, and the total capital is only 500 million yuan. If you add the 20 times leverage granted by the Swiss bank, Serezha More than $10 billion has been mobilized in this battle.
Since the stock market in Sweden is not very large, Karim holds about US$3 billion in funds. With a sum of money, it was invested one after another. The Swedish omx index began to fall slightly, but what he earned was a drop in the bucket compared with the investment of Seryozha.
The funds in the hands of Karim and Eva began to decrease little by little. Once they suppressed the index violently, the opponents in the market would start to resist. Without the support of news, even tens of billions of dollars It is also impossible for the funds to cause the financial market of Sweden, a small country, to have a situation of double killing of stocks and foreign exchange.
Soon, half of the funds were thrown away, but the market was still strong. Seryosha and Churbanov couldn't help but blame the Swedish navy for its slow response. Sergesha was impatient. While worried that when the Swedish Navy discovered the existence of u137, he still had funds in hand and could not maximize his profits. On the other hand, he was worried that the sudden rebound of the Swedish stock market would cause his forced liquidation.
In the end, Seryozha decided to put all his eggs in one basket. His personality is that he likes to take risks. Half an hour after the Swedish stock market opened, Seryozha gave an order, and Karim and Eva handed over all their funds. The krona fell by 1,000 points in an instant, and the stock market also began to plummet by 100 points. All of a sudden, counterparties in the market couldn't figure out what logic this was.
The Swedish central bank was suddenly hit with a sap, but the news was not bad, so the central bank began to protect the market. As the central bank sold dollars to buy Ruidan kroner, and various funds entered the stock market to start bottom hunting. The Swedish omx index and the exchange rate began to rise. At this time, Seryozha had no resistance. I can only resign myself to fate, and hope that the Swedish Navy can discover u137 as soon as possible before I explode.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a warship returning to Hong Kong finally found the stranded U137. The Swedish Navy was taken aback by this unexpected visitor who came quietly under its nose. The Swedish government does not connect the two things in the financial and military spheres. Soon, the Swedish military started a large-scale military operation, and a large number of ships and aircraft quickly surrounded u137. The massive military action finally attracted a large number of reporters.
Just when Seryozha gave the life and death line, the media in Sweden finally revealed the matter. Then the Swedish krona and the omx index were finally unable to resist and began to fall sharply one after another. Seryozha's breathless opponent, who had been suppressed before, turned his back in an instant, and began to become a follower of Seryozha, and the pressure on the Riksbank began to increase.
Seryozha supervised all this by phone, and Churbanov and Seryozha, who were frowning at first, immediately danced excitedly.
At 10:30, the Swedish Navy finally confirmed that the submarine belonged to the neighboring Soviet Union. A large amount of funds began to join the empty camp, and the Riksbank continued to resist after retreating.
Ten minutes later, the Swedish military began to wait for the ship. The Soviet captain Gushen blocked the hatch with a grenade and resolutely refused.
It soon entered the lunch break time, and the media broke out again. According to Swedish naval experts,
The radioactivity of the Soviet submarine was abnormal, so it was suspected that the ship was carrying a nuclear bomb. Accompanying this news. At the opening of the afternoon, the stock market fell again, and the Swedish krona fell by 10%. At this time, the Soviet ambassador to Sweden summoned by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already arrived at the gate of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Seryozha decided to accept it as soon as it was good. The Soviet Union did not really want to invade Sweden. This time it was just an accident, as soon as the Soviet ambassador made dovish remarks, the stock and currency markets would recover.
So during the period of closed-door consultations between the Soviet ambassador and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Seryozha began to close his positions. At this time, Seryozha's income has more than doubled that of the funds he holds, which is about 20 billion U.S. dollars.
Following Seryozha's order, Karim and Eva also began to notify the entrusting agency to start taking profits. Within half an hour, Seryozha's empty orders were continuously handed over to the next buyer. Just before the press conference held by the Soviet ambassador, all of Seryozha's funds had been safely returned to his hands, and he began to transfer funds to Swiss banks one after another. Although the money will not be available until after the stock market closes, Sergey has put his heart in his stomach, and the 20 billion fell into his pocket without any risk. Liao Sha stayed together, but he didn't know how much money Xie Liaosha earned. He had already turned his one million dollars into three million dollars, and his happiness was a little unbearable.
However, it can also be seen from this point that although Churbanov is the son-in-law of Mr. Bo, he has never seen anything big in the world. Even Uzbekistan's hundreds of thousands of rubles will be seen in the eyes. What Seryozha didn't know was that among the Brezhnev family, the one who made the most money was actually Churbanov's wife Galina. Galina just gave Churbanov some pocket money when she was in a good mood.
Unlike Churbanov's poor man who became rich suddenly, although Seryozha was happy that his assets had multiplied dozens of times, he remained calm on the surface. This sum of money allowed Serezha to rise to a higher level overnight, becoming one of the richest people in the world, but Serelisha felt a little confused. This money is currently of no use to Seryozha in the Soviet Union. Apart from investing in some more profitable technology companies in the future, any increase or decrease is just a change in numbers.
Seryozha couldn't help but think of the money-filled corpse that was brought back from the GDR. No one wanted to touch such dirty money. In the end, they didn't accept the money until they helped the sick little girl. Seriosha couldn't help but think of the sentence in a later movie, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Thinking of the tragedy of the country ten years later, Seryozha asked himself if he really wanted to see the disintegration of the Soviet Union ten years later?
On the second day after Sergei Sha made a fortune, the Western media finally gave this incident a vivid nickname, because the u137 submarine was code-named "Whiskey" in NATO. Therefore, the media have referred to this incident as the "whiskey on ice" incident. (To be continued..)
