Chapter 733

Berlin, this international metropolis has suddenly become deserted. It is almost past 11 o'clock, and rows of shops are still closed and locked.

A familiar and unfamiliar term entered Hans' mind - "strike".

Seems to have thought, what Hans immediately ran to the telegraph company.

Looking at the oncoming protest parade, Hans stopped involuntarily, turned around and left after seeing a few familiar figures.

There was no other way. The employees of the telegraph company took to the streets to protest. At this time, it was impossible to send the news back.

At the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Flores is staring at the constantly updated analysis of trading data.

This is also one of the benefits that comes with renting a house. You don't need to go to the lobby to see the data, just send someone to the backstage to make a list.

In recent times, the stock market has generally stabilized, and all but the few stocks that have been stuck have been growing slowly.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile. The person who came was Phelan, the owner of another securities company in the office.

The three companies that are peers can squeeze into one office, and the relationship goes without saying.

In this stock market where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, holding a group is also the way of survival for small securities companies.

Flores asked with concern: "Phelan, you are in a good mood, what good news did you bring?"

Information sharing is also part of cooperation. For securities firms, it is necessary to keep an eye on market changes and gather intelligence.

Large securities companies have special teams in charge. Small securities companies like Flores have limited financial resources and cannot afford such a team, so they can only collect intelligence jointly.

First-hand information is also a key factor for securities firms to outperform retail investors. I don't know anything, so Tie Hanhan who just plunges into it will basically be left with nothing left in the pit.

Phelan smiled and said: "There is news from Berlin that the Prussian government has decided to compromise, and the stocks we have been locked up can be unblocked immediately."

Flores frowned, not seeming to be moved by this "good news".

"How is this possible? With the Prussian government's finances, it is simply unable to bear so many debts. What do they take..."

Flores swallowed his words involuntarily. He didn't think Phelan had lied about this, and it was a matter of telegrams to verify.

Phelan said to himself: "Don't worry, the Prussian government doesn't have money, it doesn't mean that it can't get money.

It is said that more than a dozen major banks such as Deutsche Bank, Bank of Austria and Bank of England are forming a banking group and are negotiating with the Prussian government.

At present, a preliminary agreement has been reached, and the parties will join forces to form a new bank to issue 200 million Aegis bonds for the Berlin government. In return, they will represent the Prussian currency issuance business. "

Saying this, Phelan showed an envious look. Issuing currency is definitely a dream business for people in the financial world.

Everyone knows that the closer you are to the money, the easier it is to make money. As long as the bank can obtain the right to issue banknotes, there is no need to worry about capital problems.

Flores also knew about the banking group. It's just not because of the negotiation with Prussia, the main reason he noticed was "shorting the Mark".

It is the norm in the financial world to just stalk others and then start cooperating again.

After pondering for a while, Flores said, "What are you going to do? Don't you want to hunt for the bottom?"

Before Phelan could answer, a staff member hurried in: "Mr. Flores, the good news is that the stock we're stuck with has started to rise."

Faerun's face changed greatly: "Oops, the news has leaked. We have to be fast, we won't be able to drink the soup tonight."

...

There were many people making the same choice, and the stock exchange became buzzing.

What they didn't know was that the top four securities firms on the top of the food chain were starting to withdraw.

An old man sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar, asked, "How long can the news be blocked?"

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi replied: "Mr. Will, it can last for two days at most, and it may be dismantled today.

Although we used the telegraph company to publish fake news, the sudden interruption of telegrams between the two places will still attract the attention of those who care. "

This is inevitable. Both Berlin and Frankfurt are big cities, and the business exchanges between the two sides are very frequent. There are hundreds of telegrams exchanged every day.

It's okay to overhaul the line and fool ordinary people. Since the telegraph between the two places, there has never been a signal interruption of more than 8 hours.

But uninterrupted telegram contact is even more problematic, that is, it will be exposed in minutes.

Will nodded: "It's already good, it's surprising to be able to buy so much time.

There is not much time left for us. Now everyone will arrange it, close the position in the shortest time, and recover the losses as much as possible. "

No way, the Berlin government suddenly overturned the table and caught them off guard.

Unlike those who play stocks below, they are shorting Mark this time. If they don't run away quickly, the loss will be huge.

...

Compared with the gloomy gloom of Will and others, the atmosphere of the next-door neighbor, Beidoufu Securities Company, is much more harmonious.

Everyone is shorting the mark, but people are different. Bedford Securities is not so greedy, and they quit after making a fortune.

Thales regretted: "Will's old fox finally

It's still loaded, but if he stops the loss in time now, it shouldn't hurt his vitality. "

The peers are naked hatred. Don't look at the four major securities companies in Frankfurt often act together. It gives the outside world the feeling that this is an alliance. In fact, it is their allies who want the other party to die the most.

Phil Rose said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true, the loss will also be lost when you are by the side, and the situation is different now.

There are signs that an economic crisis is coming. There is not enough cash in hand at this time, who knows what will happen next? "

Skevizhka, the CEO of Bedov, interrupted the two right-hand men: "Okay, two, it's a matter of the future if Will is not unlucky. It's not the time to fall into the trap, and it's not good to spread the word."

"Mr. Skvizhka, Vienna phone!"

"coming!"

After saying that, Skvizhka walked over quickly.

...

After a while, Skvizhka walked out with a blank expression.

"You two, your work is here. From now on, sell off all the stocks and bonds in our hands as much as possible.

Cash, now we need a lot of cash. "

Phil Rose wondered: "President, the domestic economic situation is still good, even if it is hit by this incident, it will not collapse.

Recently, we have cashed out 80 million Aegis, enough to deal with any crisis.

Did something happen that we don't know about, or is headquarters running out of money? "

As a cross-country leader, Beddorf Securities can become one of the four major securities companies in Frankfurt, and has never been affected by the rules, which shows how strong the backstage is.

Economically, he has close cooperation with many banks in Austria, and has never been short of money. This is all done by the headquarters. Phil Ross does not think that the headquarters will be short of money.

After hesitating for a while, Skvizhka nodded: "Okay, let me tell you, you will know later anyway.

This time we have a big vote. The headquarters decided to short the franc. You are one of the traders.

Not only we are going to participate, but half of the top 20 securities companies in the world will participate.

This is a joint operation of British Austrian Capital. You may have heard of the international banking group that made a lot of noise not long ago.

I don't know more details, but you just need to be mentally prepared. "

"Short the franc", the two of them were bold, and they were also stunned by the news.

The franc is different from the mark, and France's economic plate is much larger. Before this, there was no shortage of short francs in the world, but they all ended in failure.

This time the organization is so large, and it even uses Prussia as a cover. It is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Thales waved his hand and said, "It seems a little difficult to short the franc. Can I pretend I haven't heard anything?"

Skvizhka smiled slightly: "Unfortunately, it's too late to say this now.

I don't think it will take long for someone to come over to keep us safe, you can talk to them.

But I personally suggest that you better be strict with your mouth, if something goes wrong, it will kill people. "

The two nodded helplessly, curiosity killed the cat. If they don't know anything, they still have the opportunity to refuse to participate.

Now that you know the "short franc", if you want to quit, you can only lie down and go out.

As long as anyone with a little common sense knows that the international banking group is buzzing with excitement, this group can be regarded as a consortium of British and Austrian financial circles, with a total of thirteen large banks participating.

Seeing that the two were in a low mood, Skvizhka comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic, it's just shorting the franc, and it's not killing you, what's the matter?"

After adjusting his emotions, Thales quickly recovered and said with an exaggerated expression: "No, my Mr. President.

Such a big deal, I don't know how many big people are involved. If it messes up, who can guarantee not to anger us? "
