Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 814 Just Let Him Be That Man

The richest man raised his eyebrows and said, "I put forward the idea of ​​'White Wednesday' in a rigorous academic manner."

George Soros smiled and nodded repeatedly, thinking he understood. Then he dropped the topic, carefully took out a document, and handed it over.

Tang Huan glanced at it twice, and joked, "Isn't your office computer Fangyuan Computer? Why do I feel like I made a mistake in my calculations—my income seems to be a little too much."

"Tang played an important role in information consultation, and Quantum Fund decided to give corresponding feedback." George Soros explained tactfully.

Obviously, Stanley Druckenmiller, Robert Johnson and George Soros, the Quantum Fund trio, recognized the astonishing power of the obscure richest man in intelligence collection and analysis, and hoped to In this way, continue to maintain the cooperative relationship.

"Then thank you for your kindness." Tang Huan put the document aside casually without being pretentious.

It is no exaggeration to say that the tens of millions of dollars distributed to Tang Huan from the profits obtained from Quantum Fund's sniping of the British pound are enough to do a national charity. Rose's huge personal income is a match for his notoriety as a representative of speculators.

"Is Don not interested in the next short sale of European currencies?" George Soros asked tentatively.According to the agreement, after defeating the British pound, the richest man's $5 million assist fund will be withdrawn.

Of course, the funder still holds Quantum Fund in the conventional sense.This approach is no different from those European and American dignitaries served by Quantum Fund.

However, Tang Huan still had plans in mind, that is, purchasing the Quantum Fund was also a means of gathering intelligence.

"Qinhe Strategy participates in shorting the British pound. There are valid reasons and we are not afraid of arguing, but if we also participate in attacks against the currencies of other countries, it may affect my main business." Tang Huan said affirmatively.

"I'm afraid this is a way to deceive people." George Soros twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.

He has reason to believe that just as he is in charge of other funds in addition to the Quantum Fund, Qinhe Strategy is just a stronghold that Tang Huan has kept open, and he must have other ways to participate in speculation.

George Soros still refused to give up and continued to lobby: "Countries like Sweden have previously raised interest rates to 75% in order to resist attacks. There is no need to let such an excellent short-selling opportunity go in vain. In addition, a large amount of capital coincidentally They have set their sights on the equally delicious piece of cake called the French franc. If you continue to follow the trend, you can make money easily.”

"Again, I have my concerns. I can't be as free as you to pursue maximizing profits. Just like John Major knew clearly that the pound he kept buying was destined to depreciate immediately, but he still sat back and watched. Likewise, there are factors other than financial theory involved." Tang Huan laughed heartily, "Look, some of the stocks that Qinhe Strategy once bought in the London stock market are now going up sharply. Isn't that great? "

Seeing that the richest man had made up his mind, George Soros had no choice but to stop there and got up to leave.

……

However, the richest man just smiled and said, "It's just a bump. This nearly 30-year relationship will eventually return to the normal track. I don't need to mess with it. I can treat it as an entertainment theme. Next year's "007"'s "Decryption Storm" should be very interesting."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan waved his hand, "Sniping the British pound is just the climax of this European currency crisis, and the curtain is far from over. Under pressure, French ministers and senior officials were even forced to shout out The threat of sending speculators to the guillotine. All this can only show that France, which promoted the establishment of the European Union together with Germany, is impossible to be captured. This time the central bank will prevail. And the really smart capital should on French bonds."

Christina chuckled and said, "Jinlong, Jinfeng, and Jincheng are trying to please me in different ways. They want to get an extra position and follow the trend to short French francs. I think they are about to fall. .”

"Don't agree to them. The tens of millions of dollars you have now are enough to practice." Tang Huan quickly reminded: "Don't you think it's fun to see a genius son being so smart that he is misled by his cleverness?"

"Of course." The female ship king nodded endlessly, her eyes full of teasing.

The strange pair of parents looked at each other and burst out laughing.

……

As the richest man said, the financial turmoil in Europe is still going on, and he has every reason to hold out here, so as to avoid all the hustle and bustle of the United States competing for the next president.

Now, the pattern of the U.S. general election has become a three-pronged trend-the Republican side is naturally the current President Bush Sr. and Vice President Dan Quayle, and the Democratic side is a pair of young partners-Bill Clinton and Al Gore. In addition, Texas billionaire Ross Perot, who joined the war as an independent candidate, and his chosen partner-retired Vice Admiral James Stockdale.

Bush, who is seeking re-election, still has very obvious advantages.

First of all, he caught up with a once-in-a-lifetime change of times-the fall of the Berlin Wall, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the unification of Germany, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Arabs and Israelis demanded direct negotiations, and the threat of nuclear weapons was greatly reduced. All imaginable changes took place during his tenure.

Under this circumstance, the United States became the only superpower in the world, and it easily subdued Iraq and helped Kuwait liberate.The celebrations and parades at the end of the Gulf War immediately pushed Bush Sr.'s reputation to the highest point.

However, in terms of economy, Bush Sr. has done little. After all, during the eight years of Reagan's administration, the control over capital has been unprecedentedly reduced, which in turn created a 1980s characterized by mergers. Compared with the political legacy, the economic legacy of the next generation is really not flattering.

In this way, in the midst of a severe economic recession, as the election day approached, some of Bush's handles began to be infinitely exaggerated, such as breaking his promise not to raise taxes.

As early as 1988, in the speech given by Bush Sr. when he accepted the presidential nomination at the Republican party, there was a famous saying, "Read_my_ips: no_new_taxes" -- "Listen up: no taxation".

This slogan, which is similar to Miao Cuihua's "look at my mouth shape" line in the movie "Fang Shiyu", later became part of Bush Sr.'s 1988 presidential election platform. It was so vivid that it was deeply integrated into the public consciousness. magic weapon.

But it is one thing off the stage and another on stage - the fiscal deficit left by Reagan's term is too huge. Although Bush Sr. has refused to raise taxes many times as promised, it has been decided by the people in both houses of Congress~ There is ultimately nothing that can be done when the main party is in control.Finally, a compromise was reached with Democrats in Congress, and several tax rates were raised in the 1990 budget agreement.

People who have breasts are their mothers are most likely to be incited by politicians.

Now, Bush Sr.'s breach of trust has become his biggest failure in losing support.

In addition, Bush Sr. also did something to offend Wall Street—in view of the large amount of private capital making waves in the currency market, he carefully planned a coordinated purchase of US dollars by 8 central banks in August this year. The intervention ended in failure and further strengthened the confidence of speculators.

Watching Bush Sr. lose his advantage step by step, Tang Huan gained a deeper understanding of the rules of this game.

On the other hand, when the Democratic Party was unwilling to stand up and challenge the elders, Bill Clinton, the young man who was finally nominated as a candidate, performed quite well.

In the first step, Bill Clinton chose a good partner—Al Gore, who even had a good impression on Tang Huan.

You know, this is against convention. As the governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore, who represents Tennessee's congressional seat, are both from the South, which violates the traditional election campaign where the presidential and vice presidential candidates come from different regions. Strategy.

However, Al Gore did have his own merits.He did not participate in this year's presidential race because his son was involved in a car accident. He is considered by the outside world to be the most knowledgeable and persuasive environmental protection advocate in Congress and a supporter of the development of high-tech telecommunications industry.

In stark contrast, Bush Sr.'s running mate, current Vice President Dan Quayle, has been the subject of ridicule in the American media.

This guy really has too many tricks. The most classic scene was during a live TV broadcast. He was practicing English spelling with a group of primary school students. As a result, he pointed out that a primary school student spelled "potato" - "potato" incorrectly. The spelling should be "potatoe".

This incident immediately became the laughing stock of the whole United States, and made Dan Quayle bear the reputation of being "ignorant", and even "won" the Education Award of the first Ig Nobel Prize in 1991, on the grounds that "because He exemplified the importance of science education."It can be seen how serious the influence of this public image is.

In short, the unconventional combination of Bill Clinton and Al Gore created a refreshing impression.

Tang Huan had to express his admiration for such a profound star-making ability.As for the sudden emergence of Ross Perot, he can only lament that this shit-stirring stick has really put Bush Sr. in a lot of trouble.

Ross Payne was credited with sending private militiamen into Iran during the 1979 Iranian revolution to rescue two imprisoned company employees, and promoting it through his 1983 novel On Wings of Eagles. Luo, a billionaire, maintains the image of a folk hero among the American public, and has developed a reputation of doing his best to "take care of his people."

In terms of corporate management, Ross Perot is known for adopting a militarized philosophy based on loyalty and duty.This has been criticized by opponents as focusing only on personal loyalty rather than professional abilities, and has a typical "authoritarian" tendency.

In this election, Ross Perot also put forward a very avant-garde idea - using computer technology to realize direct democracy through "electronic town halls" across the United States.

Tang Huan was very impressed with this - the application of IT to this level is very much in line with my wishes.But the problem is that even the richest man failed to achieve such a level of social experimentation in a small place like Funan Hanouk. How could it be possible for the United States to be so big?

Ross Perot's various unexpected surprises further confirm his role as a troublemaker.

However, now is a period of economic recession. Ross Perot, who was evaluated by the political elite as an "untested savage", has money and is willing to spend money. The propaganda has increased. Naturally, it is easy for the frustrated grassroots Get support there.

Shortly after Ross Perot announced his candidacy earlier this year, polls showed that he had 21 percent of voters' support, 14 points behind Bill Clinton, the hopeful Democratic nominee; Compared with Bush Sr., it is 16% less.

By May of this year, Ross Perot was leading in polls of presidential candidates in Texas and California.

As a result, both the campaign teams of Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton began to attach importance to this opponent and worried about their respective election prospects. As a result, more attacks on Ross Perot followed.Among them, he once sent people to investigate the Bush family in private.

The waters of the US election are too deep. In July, Ross Perot finally lost under the pressure of his black materials and announced his withdrawal from the election.

But in October, on the 10st of this month, Ross Perot made a comeback.

The powerful Tang richest man is an old acquaintance with Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot, so it is natural that he will be canvassed for votes by the other party's campaign team.

However, only Tang Huan's true thoughts are known to him, that is, it is best for the historical trend to remain unchanged.

The Internet in the future, just like the current hedge fund, hides supreme power, and the richest man naturally wants to occupy a place.

At present, the national environment for the development of the Internet is beginning to mature, and Bill Clinton and his family should be able to promote it further.

In this case, Tang Huan's tendency is self-evident.

However, because of his friendship with the Bush family, he couldn't say anything, so he just ran to Europe to hide.

In the midst of concern about the US election, the inside story of the sniping on the pound was finally exposed, and George Soros was subsequently rendered as "the man who broke the Bank of England" and became the spokesperson for all speculators.
