Regarding the action against Australia, Xia Yu handed it over to three major funds, namely Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund and Bright Fund.

The first two are responsible for rushing and killing, stirring up the storm in the financial field, while the Bright Fund is responsible for the later real asset harvesting.

Australia is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and it is more suitable for Bright Fund to harvest assets than Xia Yu's other companies.

For Australian local capital, this is an attack from the suzerain's domestic consortium. There will certainly be vigilance and resistance from local capital, but it is definitely lower than using other companies.

Although it is responsible for asset harvesting in the later stage, it is the most difficult to act, so the Bright Fund has already been deployed through the huge financial system.

The first stage of action is very simple. It is to bet against the listed companies of the Sydney consortium, and the companies of other consortiums will not touch. Of course, the bells of the cross-shareholding companies should not be messed up, it can only be regarded as unlucky.

This is also to improve the success rate and avoid comprehensive hatred.

It is no problem for the Bright Fund to single out the Sydney consortium, but if it is besieged by the three major Australian consortiums, coupled with the Rothier family who may assist at any time, the opponent will have a local combat advantage, even if it is supported by Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund. , the risk is very high.

The starting direction of Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund is to start from the exchange rate, and then expand to the stock market and futures market.

It can be said that it is similar to the action against Canada.

The difference is that the reason for attacking Canada is that Canada itself has big problems. There is an American consortium taking the lead outside, and Xia Yu, the boss, inside. Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund can only be regarded as the protagonists in the later stage.

But in the attack on Australia, it is completely the main force, fighting from beginning to end, this is hard power!

Moreover, when Australia's own crisis is far less than Canada's, it is not unusually difficult to abruptly collapse Australia's exchange rate.

Fortunately, because of their popularity in Canada after the First World War, Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund were highly sought after by investors, and the amount of funds exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

This gave Julian Robertson and Ray Dalio the confidence to join forces to attack a country.

Moreover, this country is still the eleventh country in the world, with a gross national product of more than 190 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than half of Canada, which ranks seventh.

Of course, the reason why we were able to start with the exchange rate is also thanks to Australia's own opening, and it has been less than a year.

On December 12, 1983, Australia removed all controls from the effectively managed floating exchange rate of the Australian dollar pegged to a basket of trade-weighted currencies, and instead floated freely.

It's just that in the past year, no company has the guts to attack a developed country like Australia.

...

"Your side intends to invest 3 billion US dollars in the first stage, and mine is 3.5 billion US dollars, so the total is 6.5 billion US dollars, all of which are direct principal investment, starting from the foreign exchange market, the Australian government still has A certain amount of resistance."

After a long time, both read the other's plan of action, Julian Robertson said to Rey Dalio.

As for why the principal was used without leverage in the first stage, the attitudes of the two were the same, and they were simply ignored.

Rey Dalio thought for a while and said, "Then I will add another $500 million to my side, and we will collect seven billion dollars. We alone are enough to break the Australian dollar exchange rate."

"The RBA's foreign exchange reserves are now only $6.89 billion,

We have more money than they do, and we're throwing everything we can, and the Australian government can't handle it. "

"Unless there is support from other Australian banks and banks from other countries, or the Australian government borrows from abroad."

"With our influence, as long as the international hot money follows up, the Australian dollar exchange rate will definitely not be able to hold up!"

This point, Julian Robertson has also taken into account, but compared with Rey Dalio, his investment philosophy is relatively stable, which is an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the situation.

He thought about it for a while and continued to ask: "The management assets of Tiger Fund have reached 13.54 billion US dollars, what about Bridgewater Fund?"

They are all their own people, and this confidential data can also be said, Ray Dalio said bluntly: "Mine is less than yours, only 13.38 billion US dollars."

Combined, the two funds have nearly $27 billion in assets under management!

This asset is not far from the assets of Australia's fourth largest Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} More importantly, the assets of hedge funds are easy to convert into funds, and the liquidity ratio is extremely high, which is far from what banks can match.

"OK, I have already made an asset liquidation plan on my side, and I am speeding up the return of funds."

"We have no problem in the general direction, but in terms of details, further research is needed, such as the minimum harvest line of the exchange rate. The current exchange rate is around 0.90. I suggest that the exchange rate can be suppressed to around 0.65 before harvesting."

"0.65 is too high, you can hit around 0.60, and then switch the battlefield."

...

That night, the two agreed on a general direction, then perfected the plan for the next two days, and then a steady stream of money began to flow into the Australian currency market.

On Xia Yu's side, he finally used the "Report on the Distribution of Global Oil Fields and Mineral Resources" to fully activate his golden finger and listed a lot of mines and oil resource points.

Small resource points, he can't remember at all, and his popularity is not high.

What can be remembered is that all large mines and oil fields, such as oil fields, are called large oil fields only with reserves higher than 500 million barrels.

If the reserves are less than 500 million barrels, he can't remember them, and it doesn't matter.

In terms of gold mines, very few super-large gold mines have been discovered in later generations, but many have not yet been fully discovered.

For example, the Grasberg Gold Mine in Indonesia is actually the Grasberg Gold-Copper Mine. No gold has been discovered. It is located near Jaya Peak, Mimika County, Papua Province, Indonesia. Since 1936, it has been used as copper. It belongs to the Freeport-McMoran Group of the United States, which holds 90.64% of the shares of the mine, while the Indonesian government only holds 9.36%.

In fact, this Grasberg gold-copper mine will not be discovered until 1988. Large-scale gold will be the largest gold mine in the world in later generations. The top three valuable mines are gold reserves of 3451 tons and copper reserves of 39.317 million. tons, and the silver reserves are 18,762 tons.

At present, the reserves of the Grasberg Gold-Copper Mine and even the copper mine have only been detected. The price is definitely the price of cabbage.

Then there is the Olympic Dam mine in Australia, the world's second largest gold mine and the world's fourth largest copper mine, located in Adelaide, southern Australia. It is a huge copper-gold-uranium-silver deposit. The mine has now been It has been discovered. Since its discovery in 1975, the detected mineral reserves are 1,200 tons of gold and 30 million tons of copper.

But in fact, the Olympic Dam mine has 1 million tons of uranium, 78.77 million tons of copper, 13,483 tons of silver, and 3,048 tons of gold. Now the proven reserves have not even reached half, and the acquisition value is extremely high.

Then there is the Pogo Gold Mine in Alaska, the United States, the third largest gold mine in the world in later generations. At this time, no gold mine has been discovered. It will not be discovered until the 21st century by Sumitomo Metal Mining. It has 2,792 tons of gold reserves and 32.39 million copper. tons, 1.995 million tons of molybdenum ore.

In the field of gold mines, Xia Yu also listed some super-large gold mines. If all of these gold mines can be obtained, the reserves will definitely exceed 20,000 tons, which will be worth more than one trillion US dollars in future generations. Bluestar Mining Company will Become the world's gold hegemon.

In the field of diamond mines, Canada, the three major producing areas of later generations, did not find any diamond mines worth mining at this time. Xia Yu circled all the four major diamond mines in Canada in one breath.

They are the Davik Diamond Mine in Canada, the Ikati Diamond Mine in Canada, the Kaqiu Ancient Diamond Mine in Canada, and the Snap Lake Diamond Mine in Canada. As long as the four major mines are obtained, they are enough to compete with De Beers.

In order to surpass De Beers, Xia Yu also found large mines such as the Catoca diamond mine in Angola and the Venice diamond mine in South Africa.

In terms of iron ore, it has found the fourth largest mine in Australia in the future, the Roy Mountain Iron Mine, which is located about 115 kilometers north of Newman in the Pilbara mining area of ​​Western Australia, and about 115 kilometers southeast of Port Hedland, Western Australia. 340 kilometers, the total reserves are as high as 4.5 billion tons, and the phosphorus content of mineral powder is as low as 0.04%. It is the very high-quality iron ore in Australia.

Then there are other iron ores, which together have a total reserves of 10 billion tons, enough to rank first in the world.

The most important thing is the oil field.

A large number of undiscovered or far undervalued fields have been identified.

For example, the Azad glycerin field on the border between Iran and Iraq has crude oil reserves of 42 billion barrels.

Brazil's Ribeira oil field, the world's largest offshore oil field, is a light oil with excellent oil quality, with oil reserves ranging from 26 billion barrels to 420 barrels.

Venezuela's Orinoco heavy oil belt, only 4.3 billion barrels of oil reserves were detected the year before, but the actual reserves reached more than 35.7 billion barrels, and later generations accounted for 75% of Venezuela's national oil reserves.

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} Argentina's Baca Muerta oil field, located in the Neuquen Basin in southern Argentina, has proven reserves of 16 billion to 22 billion barrels of oil.

The West Qournai oilfield in Iraq has proven reserves of 10-15 billion barrels in later generations.

Mexico's Chicontepeque oil field, located in the eastern state of Veracruz, has reserves of 139 billion barrels. However, it is a pity that it is heavy oil, which is more difficult to extract and the cost is relatively high, but it can be used as a later reserve.

The Kashagan oil field in Kazakhstan is located in the northern Caspian Sea about 50 miles southeast of the city of Atyrau, Kazakhstan, with total oil reserves of more than 35 billion barrels.

...

Brazil's Barracuda oil field, located in the central and southern Campos Basin, has oil reserves of 2.25 billion barrels.

The Cusiana-Cupiagua complex oilfield in Colombia has oil reserves of 2 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of more than 85 billion cubic meters.

The Borcan-Florina-Paoto Sur oil and gas field in Colombia has oil reserves of 1 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of more than 283.1 billion cubic meters.

Algeria's Orjos oil field is the second largest oil field in Algeria with a total reserves of 1 billion barrels.

Angola's Tizomba oilfield, a large deep-water oilfield, has oil reserves of 2 billion barrels.

The Masirah oil field in the Republic of Yemen has oil reserves of more than 1 billion barrels.

The Alif Oilfield in the Republic of Yemen, in the Marib-Jawow Basin, has oil reserves of more than 500 million barrels.

The reserves of these oil fields add up to 500 billion barrels of reserves. Even if part of the cake is to be distributed to local oil companies later, it can occupy at least 350 billion barrels of reserves.

This oil reserve is enough to smash Saudi Aramco and become the world's first, and OPEC also has to look at its face.

In terms of energy, there are also gas and natural gas, but natural gas is basically symbiotic with oil fields. As long as these oil fields are won, natural gas reserves can also leap to the first place in the world.

In terms of gas, it is eyeing the San Juan Basin in the western United States. In 1998, the proven gas reserves of this basin were 350 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 7.4% of the reserves of dry gas in the United States.

...

Except for a few of these minerals and resources that have been initially discovered and are far underestimated, the vast majority of the rest have not yet been discovered.

Instead, the bulk of the expenditure is the exploration expenses such as the royalties of exploration rights, geological surveys, physical and chemical exploration and unsuccessful exploration wells incurred in the process of geological exploration.

The second is the cost of exploration rights, and the specific price varies by country and region.

For example, in the United States, if the super-popular oil-producing areas are the most competitive, the local government will use auctions to auction regional exploration rights.

The cost of exploration rights in the more popular oil producing areas is about tens of dollars per square kilometer per year.

In some unpopular areas, many places are almost uninterested, so the cost of exploration rights is extremely low, which can reach a few dollars per square kilometer a year.

For various countries, they do not rely on selling oil exploration rights to make money. The main interests are the interests after the discovery of oil fields, such as special equity, investment-driven interests, taxation, and so on.

They do not have the strength to explore aimlessly, and assigning the right to explore resources is the safest way. Although there is no way to make the country rich overnight, it can ensure steady development, which is a win-win situation.

This is the biggest way to attract investment, and as long as the resources are not mined in one day, you can continue to generate income and collect money while lying down.

After sorting it out, Xia Yu split the valuable book and handed it over to Pacific Oil Company and Blue Star Mining Company respectively.

And for the sake of insurance, these resources are not to be explored for the first time, the first thing to do is to get the land, first to take down all the exploration rights in the area where these resources are located, and at least 30 years to sign, this time is definitely enough. Exploration, although the cost will be dozens of times higher, but the cost of exploration rights in the area is not worth mentioning.

Then the second insurance is that only the presidents of Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company can access this book, their own family members will be taken over, and their bodyguards will also be arranged by the consortium to prevent them from making mistakes.

After getting the small books, Blue Star Mining Company and Pacific Oil Company acted quickly and started the road to hegemony.
