Giant of the times

The United Kingdom is a long-established European power with a developed economy. As the saying goes, one move affects the whole body. The pound's plunge has affected the entire Europe. Not only the British pound currency has depreciated, but the Spanish currency and the Italian currency have also depreciated... European countries have to rush to put out the fire.

Within a month or two, speculators led by Soros defeated the Bank of England and finally forced the United Kingdom to withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism!

Since then, Soros has become famous! ! !

"Forbes" magazine couldn't help but report this.

London's "Daily Telegraph" reported on the front page with a huge bold headline, the headline was: "I made a profit of $1 billion as the pound plummeted!"

London, England.

At this moment, many reporters gathered at Soros's residence, and the door was blocked, as if there was no way to get through.

Soros sat on a chair on the balcony and watched the "Daily Telegraph" report, with a proud smile on his face. The noise of reporters came from downstairs not far away.

"Jingle Bell!"

A phone rings.

"Hello Soros, I am Kelis, editor of The Times!" A magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the microphone.

"Oh, Kellys, hello!!" Soros said happily.

"Huh? What happened? You are so noisy over there?" Kelis asked, hearing a commotion on the phone.

"I'm in London," Soros replied, his voice very excited. "I wonder if you read the Daily Telegraph?"

"Look!" Kairis was confused.

Soros said distressedly: "Oh, my residence is now surrounded by reporters. I originally wanted to go out to play tennis, but I can't go now. I don't know what to do, what should I do? Can you make some suggestions?"

Kelis frowned, and a black line flashed across his forehead. Damn it, do you show off like this? Huh, I feel very upset.

"Soros, before I make any suggestions, I want to know one thing," Kelis said.

"What's up?"

"Is that Daily Telegraph report true? Did you really make $1 billion?!"

Soros immediately replied proudly: "Of course it's true, it's obvious!!!"

"Soros, if you want to become more famous, maybe you should ask me to write an article for you to report in detail what you did during the pound crisis!"

Soros thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay!"

Kellis is the editor of The Times, one of Britain's major newspapers with great influence.

The pound crisis not only increased Soros' personal income by more than US$1 billion, but also caused the Quantum Fund to increase by 70%. Gain fame and fortune! ! ! If the Times reports on Soros and Quantum Fund, it will not only promote the development of Quantum Fund and make more wealthy people willing to hand over their wealth to Quantum Fund, but also make international speculators aware of Soros. From then on, if Soros and Quantum Fund If the Quantum Fund takes any action, it will be responded to by hundreds of people!

In the financial world, there are many powerful financial tycoons who can sometimes make stocks rise or fall with just one sentence.

Soros also wants to be such a powerful figure!

Not long after, the phone rang again.

When Soros looked at the phone, his expression was shocked. He immediately sat upright, picked up the phone, and said respectfully and politely: "Mr. Li!!"

"Well, it's me!" Li Zetian smiled, "Well done, congratulations, you have now become the most popular financial tycoon in the world! The name of Soros can almost make the UK tremble!"

"Haha, I don't dare to take it. I still have to thank Mr. Li for your support."

"Haha, when you return to the United States, I will treat you to dinner!"

"good!"

Li Zetian hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile, "Soros is so brave. He actually dares to be in London, England at this time, without fear of being beaten to death..."

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: "When he didn't do anything illegal, he just attacked the pound according to the rules of the financial market. How does the British government control it? Furthermore, Soros is now so famous and he is an American. The British government is even more It’s impossible to catch him blatantly. Of course, if he dares to hang out on the streets of England with a sign that he is Soros, I’m sure someone will beat him up!”

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth raised, and his eyes showed a hint of amusement, as if he saw Soros being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

After a while, Li Zetian asked: "How much did we earn this time?"

"Not much, about US$5 billion!"

"Well, it's really good."

Li Zetian made 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars of national wealth in the Soviet Union, so naturally he was not very excited about the 5 billion U.S. dollars.

Now, for Li Zetian, money is just a bunch of numbers.

However, he himself also knows that $1.5 trillion seems like a lot, but if it is used to develop high technology, the money will be spent very quickly. Therefore, we still cannot sit back and take advantage of the deep sky. Of course, 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars is an astronomical amount of money. Just putting it in a bank would earn an astonishing interest every year. However, this method of financial management is naturally not advisable. The bank's interest may not be able to compare with the depreciation of the currency. Therefore, most of the funds will be invested in various ways, such as funds, stocks, gold, bonds, real estate, etc.

Li Zetian has a huge financial management team under his name, and this financial management team controls hundreds of overseas offshore financial institutions. Each financial institution has multiple subsidiaries, and each subsidiary may also have subsidiaries. One layer at a time, Li Zetian's wealth is naturally well managed.

"Mr. Li, the Space Exploration Company has been in development for more than a year. This is the company's current information!" At this time, Dongfang Yuqin took out a piece of information from the folder and handed it to Li Zetian.

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Li Zetian has recruited many aerospace talents, and then the Space Exploration Company was established. After the company was established, Li Zetian didn't interfere too much. These former Soviet talents are far away from their homeland, the country is divided, and they feel sad. It is conceivable that they will definitely not be able to settle down and work. Li Zetian naturally did not expect them to devote themselves to studying technology. After a year of psychological healing, these people should be doing much better.

Li Zetian looked at the information and said with satisfaction: "Well, that's good. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Space Exploration Company continued to attract talents. The number of employees now reaches more than 30,000, which is amazing!"

"In addition to talents from the former Soviet Union, we have hired aerospace technical talents from all over the world with high salaries!"

After a while, Li Zetian closed the information and murmured: "Space Exploration Company is involved in civilian and military aircraft manufacturing, arms manufacturing, and space development. It costs a lot of money!!"

"Yes, those engineers have proposed many research and development projects, and the total budget adds up to tens of billions of dollars!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a wry smile, "This is just the beginning. In the future, as the space exploration company develops and grows, more projects will be researched If there are more and more, I’m afraid the cost will also become higher and higher!”

If he had not earned more than trillions of dollars from the Soviet Union, Li Zetian would not have dared to get involved in the aerospace field, especially since he was very ambitious and had been involved in multiple industries in a row. If he did not do it, he would do his best. , naturally, we will definitely not develop commercial products in the short term, but will pursue technological leadership!

As a result, space exploration companies must continue to burn money without making money for many years. According to news Li Zetian saw on the Internet in his previous life, the research and development cost of the F35 in the United States was as high as 300 to 400 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply staggering.
