Chapter 101: Bill Gross' Advice
In recent months, two countries with corporate interests in the Gorky family have been preparing for upcoming elections. In Colombia, the term of the current President Quartas is coming to an end. A country that is fragmented and in constant conflict, and the attitude that Quartas' successor will take to deal with the growing guerrilla and drug traffickers in the country will determine whether the country can regain peace, but now it seems that Colombia's The public is still superstitious about Americans. The current ambassador to the United States, Vargas, seems to be the most vocal, and he is likely to win the election and become the next Colombian president. Vargas was graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was in exile in the United States in the 1940s. After that, apart from serving as the mayor of Bogotá for a short time, Vargas has been active on the international stage and served as the ambassador to the United States for a long time. , ambassador to the UK, and executives of the World Bank. Although such a person has a good resume, judging from the strong American color behind him, Vargas is no different from an agent of American support.
If such a president comes to power, Escobar and the guerrilla forces will definitely face a more severe blow. Therefore, in order to take precautions in advance, Escobar manipulated a group of politicians who obeyed his orders to firmly control the Medellin City Council. At the same time, in order to win the support of the people, Escobar began a generous plan, which is to build housing, stadiums for the vast majority of the poor in Medellin, and sponsor several professional football teams in Medellin. Escobar's move has doubled the favor of the residents of Medellin. Although the national TV stations in Medellin continue to report how cruel, cruel and harmful the drug dealers are to society. However, the newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations in Medellin praised Escobar from morning to night. In addition, most of the poor people in Medellin were not educated enough and lacked basic concepts of right and wrong. For a small fortune, Kowal has made Medellin's largely poor people consider him a hero of the land. Although the intellectuals in Medellin sneered at Escobar, the poor praised Escobar to the sky. The media, which claims to be impartial, chose the latter without hesitation in the face of the bullets and dollar bills of drug dealers.
Due to Escobar's reputation, Escobar's recruitment of soldiers to fight against the Colombian government army became smoother, and even Valentin's arms business became more and more prosperous. In order to ensure the concealment of the transportation route, Seriosha chose the destination of the shipping in Panama. The cargo ship of Mediterranean Shipping will transport the materials to the port of Panama, and then the truck transportation company in Panama will transport the goods to Medellin by land .
As for another country that is about to usher in a general election, it is Japan, where Mikhail now lives. Jiang Fuhao, whom Mikhail met during his contacts with the richest man in Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, was indeed a talent. With his help, Mikhail met many senior leaders of the Liberal Democratic Party. And Mikhail also opened the door to the financing of Jiang Fuhaozheng's real estate company. He used Sergesha's relationship with the British banking circle to assist Jiangfu Haozheng's real estate company and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's richest man, the Seibu Group, to raise funds from overseas consortiums. Under Mikhail's single-handed operation, the debts of the two companies were converted into high-quality bonds and flowed into the Tokyo stock exchange market. Mikhail only needs to pass his hands to earn a lot of money for the Gorky Department.
During this period of time, the yen did not stop its continued soaring pace, and now the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar has broken through the record 160 mark and is approaching the 150 sub-pass. Under Sergey's instruction, Mikhail kept borrowing large sums of U.S. dollars from the European and American markets, and then exchanged them into Japanese yen through the Bank of Tokyo. Although the borrowed U.S. dollar has a certain interest cost, the speed of the rise of the yen is simply not the same.
Due to the increasing investment of the Colombian bank in the Japanese bond and foreign exchange markets, Mikhail gradually began to feel powerless.
So he asked Bill Gross, director of Columbia Bank's bond business, to take over these businesses one after another. But Bill Gross made a less optimistic conclusion about Mikhail.
"President, I think our investment in Japan may not have many good days? The rapid depreciation of the US dollar is likely to prompt the Federal Reserve and the Ministry of Finance to intervene." Bill Gross said firmly.
"Bill, if you want to explain the principles of economics to me, please just treat me like an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything. I don't know much about deep and obscure economic theories. As long as you can convince me Me, I agree to adjust the business according to your way." Mikhail was not angry because of Bill Gross' doubts, on the contrary, he was very happy to listen to the ability of this person whom Sergei Sha valued.
"Okay, President! Then I'll get straight to the point. Since the signing of the Plaza Accord, the depreciation of the dollar has been too fast. If this continues, the sales of U.S. Treasury bonds in the next quarter at the end of the year will be affected. Although The depreciation of the US dollar will be beneficial to the recovery of American enterprises and the economy, but no government will rely on the increased tax revenue of enterprises to maintain government spending. Our government basically relies on issuing bonds to maintain government finances. Now the depreciation of the US dollar is too fast, the inflation rate is rising, and the yield of U.S. bonds is also continuing to fall. If this continues, I think our government’s bonds next year will be uninterested. So I think The Ministry of Finance will definitely adjust the current exchange rate before the start of the next year's bond issuance cycle, so I think the best time for us to evacuate Japan is before the end of the year!" Bill Gross finally suggested.
Mikhail did not immediately respond to Bill Gross's suggestion, and he relayed Bill Gross' words to Sergesha. After a day of thinking, Seryozha made his own judgment. He basically agrees with the conclusion of Bill Gross. What the other party said is very reasonable. Taxation seems to be important to European and American countries, but it is nothing compared to the sale of bonds. In the current economic system in the West, bonds are the most important means of government financing. And taxes are just the interest of Wall Street investors. So Seryozha quickly said the word Mikhail-it's safe. ...
