America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 455 It's so easy to take advantage of what's cheap

2002, April [-]th.

When the special department of rock security starts to carry out special work belonging to this department.

Neon, Tokyo.

In the offices of Neon Bank, Special Economic Action Team, and Kuroda-gumi.

Akihiko Kuroda looked a little haggard.

He just wanted to buy tens of thousands of hands of USD/JPY, but he didn't expect to be preempted by someone.

Since that night, he and several other special economic action groups have started to maintain the stability of the yen exchange rate and Japanese debt in the international financial market.

There are many special economic action teams similar to the Kuroda Group within the Neon Bank, each of which is powerful.

Like the Kuroda group, his main source of funds is the Nihong Zhengfu Pension Investment Fund.

Neon Pension Investment Fund is the largest pension fund in the world.

It currently manages pension funds totaling about $8000 billion.

This makes the fund surpass the US pension fund, the Norwegian sovereign pension fund, etc., and become the world's largest public pension investment institution.

This is actually quite understandable.

Firstly, the neon economy is strong, and now it is still the second largest economic power.

Secondly, the aging of neon is more serious, and the pension is naturally more.

Of course, Akihiko Kuroda's team is not strong enough to be able to manage the 8000 billion US dollars alone.

He and his team are just one of many investment managers in the fund.

As one of the largest sovereign funds of Neon, the Neon Pension Fund has always been one of the main forces in the market to maintain the exchange rate of the yen and Japanese debt.

Like now, when two rice animals are in the market, a total of more than 300 million USD/JPY positions have been established.

The Neon Pension Fund also hedged with other Neon national teams in the market, and established a huge position of about 260 million USD/JPY.

This is the neon authorities' efforts to avoid turmoil in the yen and Japanese debt.

Looking at the market conditions, Akihiko Kuroda no longer had the energy he had a few days ago.

Although the strength of USD/JPY has fluctuated recently, the range has become smaller.

But whether you go long or short, volatility is still in a strong state.

There have also been large hedges of bears vs bulls before.

It made their group of guardians nervous and extremely nervous.

Akihiko Kuroda now believes that USD/JPY will continue to fluctuate endlessly after this big hedging.

If the rice animals don't give up and keep fighting, then they can't rest, and they don't dare to take it lightly.

But what makes Akihiko Kuroda excited and proud is the comparison with several other economic special action groups.

The Kuroda team performed very well this time.

This time, their team is in charge of about 40 USD/JPY positions.

So far, all of them add up to a total of 400 points of profit, which adds up to about 20 billion US dollars!
Compared with other groups, there is a slight loss, or the situation where the profit is not much.

The Kuroda group is much better.

So much so that Chairman Yu Hayami held his nose at the Neon Bank meeting yesterday, praising the Kuroda group for its excellent work under the leadership of Akihiko Kuroda.

This made Kuroda Fuyuhiko, who has not been transferred from Neon Bank yet, and is still the vice president of Neon Bank, have a lot of face at the meeting.

Thinking of yesterday's meeting, when he was praised, he was very high-spirited.

Akihiko Kuroda, who hadn't slept well for several days and nights, cheered up again and continued to watch the market.

Within 24 hours, the trend of USD/JPY was completely in line with his previous judgment, which made Kuroda a little happy.

This judgment made him decide to put most of his funds on promoting the rise of USD/JPY and start building long positions.

In doing so, it was an order from the superior.

After the meeting that was held yesterday, even after the meeting in which members of Congress were present in person.

The upper management of Neon Bank has decided to start to give more support to the yen.

In other words, the Neon National Team has already begun to choose a team.

Instead of jumping left and right like before.

Second, Akihiko Kuroda's judgment is that bulls will become stronger and bears will be suppressed.

That being the case, Kuroda of course followed suit and switched from the hedging mode to the long mode.

The joint international bulls began to massacre the shorts.

Thinking of this, Akihiko Kuroda immediately bought 3 more hands.

In the market, 3 USD/JPY long orders suddenly rushed in.

Immediately let the dollar/yen rise, rushing to the 124.460 position.

This fluctuation period is also the middle line that has been maintained by both bulls and bears since the past 10 days.

Only now Neon Fang has changed its mind.

No longer maintain the stability of the exchange rate, but go in one direction.

Obviously, this middle line has become difficult to maintain.

……

……

at the same time.

Manhattan, JP Morgan Chase Bank headquarters.

James Robinson was not kicked out of the financial safe house as Davey demanded.

This is because in Morgan Chase Bank, James belongs to the elite force of the Morgan family.

He's the guy who belongs to John Cleese.

What's more, except for meeting Abel this time.

Over the years, James won and lost very little, making a lot of profits for Morgan.

He is one of the best traders in the Morgan camp.

So David wanted to replace James Robinson, but John Chris didn't agree.

John has been standing behind James, watching him and Abel face to face.

This made John Chris understand that it was not that James was not capable enough, but that James' enemy was too strong this time.

The so-called non-war crimes are also.

For the sake of James' ability, Morgan planned to give him another chance.

So when Akihiko Kuroda directed the traders to enter the market with long positions.

James' eyes were on the board.

Because he was long 5 lots earlier, the USD/JPY rose a little.

Now that the Neon people have started to cooperate, the market has risen a lot.

James, who had accumulated too much pressure in the past few days, couldn't help but feel ecstatic at the moment.

According to this market, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars today.

This is no less than a dose of stimulant to him who has lost more than one billion dollars in a week.

So James decided to reward himself.

While watching the market, James felt anxious.

Glancing at the trend of USD/JPY, I immediately felt tight.

Secretly said, "Fake, why did you suddenly turn around and drop by nearly 40 points!"

This drop caused him to lose 6% of his floating profit today.

Being so frightened, all of a sudden faded away.

After hesitating for a while, James gritted his teeth and ordered another 5 lots of USD/JPY.

His decision immediately stabilized the decline of USD/JPY and began to rise by more than a dozen points.

Then USD/JPY oscillated again.

After James hesitated again, he chose to continue long USD/JPY.

……

……

Kuroda Akihiko, who made a similar decision with James, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

James was going long just now, and he also went long directly by 10 lots of USD/JPY.

The two forces chose to go long at the same time, making the upward momentum of USD/JPY seem completely unstoppable.

"The bears should be hard to resist now, right?"

After another minute, Akihiko Kuroda continued to add 1 more hands, and USD/JPY broke through the best position of bulls all the time.

Immediately, Akihiko Kuroda was in a good mood, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help laughing: "Ha, the rice animals are fighting each other! It's my turn to make a profit."

But it didn't take long for Akihiko Kuroda to stop laughing.

A large number of selling orders suddenly emerged in USD/JPY.

Kuroda's long list was wiped out, and USD/JPY plummeted.

In less than 5 minutes, it dropped 40 points directly.

The smile on Kuroda's face suddenly froze, and he coughed twice, making him so angry that he couldn't help cursing, "Baga!"

Then go ahead and buy USD/JPY!To support USD/JPY.

Unlike before, when maintaining stability, you can jump left and right.

Akihiko Kuroda, who accepted the death mission, now has only one way to go to Hei.

Do more, do more, do more!

……

……

James of JP Morgan.

Feeling the comfort of his body again, he couldn't help screaming a few times, his whole face looked like he was dying, and the corners of his mouth were slightly opened, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Baby, baby, come on! Come on! Hiss—"

James urged his secretary to say.

Just when James was about to fly.

He seems to have seen something incredible, the dollar/yen dropped 5 pips in 50 minutes.

This made James feel his body tense immediately, and the flattering smile on his face froze completely...

"What's going on with Faxet??????"

His body froze as well as his smile!

At this moment, James felt that he was suffering to death, just like the water from the faucet was rushing, but suddenly the internal pipe was blocked.

His face turned red!

"Can't let it crash! Falk!!!"

James immediately reacted quickly and began to frantically buy USD/JPY to support USD/JPY and prevent it from falling further.

And the occurrence of this situation twice in a row made him completely limp.

The beautiful secretary twitched in her heart, this guy, Fake, might have a goat's stomach.

……

……

Right now, in San Francisco, California.

One of the core figures of the California Consortium.

Slade Wilson was holding a satellite phone, chatting and laughing happily with the other party.

"...Choosing to close the position at this time is indeed a good choice. I understand you. You are different from me, Slade. I can't leave the position so quickly."

Listening to the voice from the microphone, Slade Wilson said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Abel. This is the best help I can give you this time. Then you will have to fight the Neon Man and those guys alone."

"I'm more grateful for your support at the Federal Reserve Board than any of that. You know, that's what I really value," said the voice on the microphone.

"I understand." Slade said in a serious voice:

"Huh! Now it's not like before, I will support you. Because I understand that supporting you is equal to supporting ourselves."

"OK. I'm still busy here. Hang up first."

"Ah."

Putting down the satellite phone, Slade said to his assistant with a smile on his face, "Has our position been closed yet?"

In the foreign exchange market of the US dollar and the yen, the plates are now piled up so big.

The collision between bulls and bears inside is so strong.

Financial players all over the world are not blind or fools, of course they can see it.

Those who are well-informed can know that this is the newly promoted investment god leading the Texas consortium to fight against the old giants Morgan and Rockefeller.

Although both sides are terrifyingly strong, most players in the world are afraid.

But... almost no one has the courage to confront them head-on.

But following them, watching them, and fishing in troubled waters, there are really too many people who have the courage.

The California consortium on Slade Wilson's side has strong financial strength and is one of the major international financial players who fish in troubled waters.

The difference is because of Slade's influence.

The California consortium sided with Abel's camp and built a large position.

However, it may be that Slade's influence and voice in the California consortium are not as great as Abel's in the Texas consortium.

It may also be that Slade accepts as soon as he sees it.

So from three days ago, the California consortium has been slowly closing positions.

"Mr. Wilson, there is still 10% of the position, which has not been closed!"

The assistant said respectfully, with adoration in his eyes.

This time fishing in troubled waters, Slade's decision helped the California consortium earn more than a billion dollars in a few days.

"Well, it fell too much just now, let's close the rest of the position tomorrow!"

Slade watched the USD/JPY almost collapse and remained calm, looking extremely peaceful.

Just now he watched the USD/JPY rising rapidly, but unexpectedly, he closed out 30 positions, and the USD/JPY turned around in a straight line.

I thought that the market would quickly consume his liquidation orders, but unexpectedly, the USD/JPY fell by nearly 50 points before stopping!

"It seems that the USD/JPY may really have a big correction in the next few days. The current market is very complicated, and there are too many long-term positions waiting to be closed. Fortunately, we have moved ahead a lot, otherwise we will lose a lot of profits .”

Thinking of this, Slade said to his assistant: "If you can level up tonight, let's level up all of them! From tomorrow onwards, we will not intervene."

"Yes, sir."

……

……

Singapore, Siloso Beach Villas.

Slade Wilson didn't know why Abel, who was talking with him on the phone, hung up the satellite communication with him in a hurry.

In fact, it was because Abel had another, more important call.

At this moment, in the living room of the beach house.

"Ha - I thought you would call me. The probability is one in a few hundredths, or even one in a thousand. I didn't expect that such a rare probability would actually come true now."

Holding another satellite phone, Abel strolled leisurely in the living room.

His sight penetrated the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the blue sky and sea in the distance.

On the white sandy beach, the batch of beauties from Southeast Asia a few days ago were gone.

They have been "repatriated".

Because after a few days, everything that Abel should play and develop on them has been played.

Abel was tired of it.

Besides, among this batch of Southeast Asian beauties, there is no one of the level that he wants to collect.

After playing enough and getting tired of playing, it is natural to give them some benefits, and then go back to their respective homes...

"Hahaha—that's not the case, Mr. Smith. Anything can happen in this world. Besides, there is no unresolvable conflict or contradiction between us, is there?"

"That's right." Abel smiled and agreed:
"So, sir, what do you or do you want to do?"

"Well, I have a proposal here. One that we can all enjoy."

"Please say."

A few minutes later, Abel hung up the satellite phone and threw it to David not far away.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and let the afternoon sunlight of Singapore shine on his handsome face after being refracted by the glass.

Thinking of the owner of the phone call just now, and what the other party discussed with him.

Abel couldn't help but shook his head, thinking to himself: I'm still a little tender, these people really can do anything.

Fortunately, labor and capital are linked!
Thinking this way, after a few minutes, Abel motioned for David to bring the satellite phone.

In half an hour, Abel made several more phone calls.

"call--"

After these phone calls, he was slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to go to the financial house to have a look, he saw Edward walking in through the gate.

Abel stood still, waiting for Edward to come to him.

Before Abel could speak, the captain of the bodyguard said softly to Abel:
"Boss, things are more troublesome. Plan A is not going very well. Although the locals don't pay attention to it, unexpectedly there are Indians from other places staring at the temple. Maybe we have to use plan B."

Abel's handsome eyebrows were raised, and he didn't seem surprised.

"Then follow plan B and let Alan and the others come forward. If necessary, I can also choose to go to India."

He knew that Edward was talking about the third brother's side, the Padmanabaswamy Temple.

It was Abel just now, asking Edward to understand the real-time progress of the Rock Security India team.

After all, it may be a treasure with a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. If there are really so many that can be eaten, it is necessary to use any means.

The original plan a was to take advantage of the negligence of the Varma royal family, the temple administrator, to send people in to investigate secretly, and find a way to smuggle it out after finding it.

This is the easiest way, but it may also be the most difficult way.

Although the place was deserted, it was still a temple.

The third brother is generally a devout believer, and many people go to worship every day like the deserted temple.

There are so many people going in and out, and it is a bit whimsical to want to hide the truth.

Regarding Plan A, Abel felt from the very beginning that there was a high probability of failure.

So there will be a plan B or even a plan C in the future.

Not to mention the failed Plan A, the next Plan B may also fail.

Plan B is the Indian branch of American Express. It will go to Kerala in the near future to negotiate with the local government and the Varma royal family to contract the business of the Padmanabaswamy Temple.

American Express has a strong influence and brand power in the major tourist countries all over the world.

Besides the banking business, its strongest is the senior travel business.

At that time, American Express will take a fancy to the tourism potential of Padmanabaswamy Temple.

It is proposed to contract it and transform it into a cooperation of famous tourist attractions.

If it can be negotiated, then the temple will be renovated at that time.

When renovating.

Send decoration materials inside, and then pull out some "waste" from inside.

This is totally understandable, isn't it?
The Varma royal family and the Indian authorities, seeing the generous kickbacks, will definitely let it go.

It's just that with the third brother's urine, the follow-up may be when the AmEx company has renovated the temple, or when the reputation of the tourist attraction is known.

In other names, they tried their best to take back the temple and kick out the express company.

Do business at Sange's place.

No matter what American you are, Chinese, neon, British...

It doesn't matter whether you are a Fortune 500 company, a multinational group, etc...

Everyone will suffer from the third brother's knife!
Even the richest man in the world is no exception.

Of course, what the third brother saw was that the richest man in the world paid for them to build temples and advertise their tourist attractions.

As for the world's richest man, he is not interested in the income-generating tourist attractions. .

But the treasures in the temple.

At that time, everyone will get what they need, hello and me, everyone can smile, this is called a win-win situation. .

But, how can it be so easy to take advantage of the cheapness of the richest man in the world. .
