Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

With disdain in her eyes, Han Suyu continued: "The so-called third place in the world is just the result of big data statistics, and if they hadn't accumulated strong technology and financial strength, and invested in a large scale around the world, they wouldn't even be able to keep the third place in the world,"

"On the whole, the neon country's economy has actually been stagnant for 27 years, and it is still in recession in essence."

"It's a fact recognized in the financial world that their overall recessionary trend is inevitable..."

Zhao An really doesn't understand economics and finance, but he is really interested in it, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "Then international speculators will definitely be able to make profits by targeting Japanese debt?"

Chapter 892 Joining the Hunt

Zhao An asked this question, which was really a noob.

But he is the boss, and Han Suyu patiently explained to him: "About this financial drama between the international bears vs. the central bank of the Neon country, we need to first understand the key issues of the attacking players' bears."

"Why did they launch an attack to short Japanese government bonds? What is shorting? What are the benefits? Simply put, shorting means that in countries with a short-selling mechanism, short sellers only need to pay a 10% deposit to intervene in a large amount of bonds from securities institutions. Go sell it off."

"Let me make an analogy. For example, Mr. Zhao borrowed 10 trillion Japanese bonds and sold them at a price of [-] trillion. Because you sold a large amount, you successfully caused panic among other investors, and they also rushed to sell at a lower price. causing Japanese bond prices to plummet by [-]%,”

"At this time, Mr. Zhao only needs to spend [-] trillion yen within the time limit to buy Japanese bonds with a face value of [-] trillion yen and return them to the ears of securities institutions. The remaining [-] trillion yen is for shorts. profit."

At this time, Zhao An's mind was full of the exchange rate between one trillion yen and RMB, and one trillion yen was equivalent to about 488 billion yuan...

Seeing that Han Suyu paused, he came back to his senses and asked, "But didn't you say that the central bank of the Neon country said that there are unlimited bullets, and he will take as many as they sell short? After all, they have Money printing machine, as long as you want to, can you take as many short orders? Isn’t the international speculators’ efforts in vain in the end?”

Han Suyu snorted and said, "If they only have such a few tricks, they will indeed be severely beaten by the central bank of Neon Country. Since international speculators dare to do something, they naturally have a lot of confidence in order to make such a large sum of money."

"But there is another trick for short sellers, that is, they can take the borrowed JGBs. After the market sells off, they can exchange them for dollars and store them."

"Suppose a short seller borrows 100 yen of Japanese bonds, sells them and exchanges them for one dollar. If the yen depreciates during this period, it only takes 0.9 dollars to exchange it for 100 yen. Then the airdrop only needs to take out 0.9 dollars to repay the debt, and the remaining $0.1 of that is profit.”

"Let me summarize a little bit more. Mr. Zhao can understand that the stability of the Japanese debt and the yen are the two lines of defense for the safety of neon assets, and international speculators and short sellers can short them as long as they break through any one and let one depreciate. Make a profit and feast on it!"

Zhao An changed his sitting position and asked still puzzled: "But why did they focus on the neon country, the third largest economy in the world? Aren't they afraid of stealing chickens and losing money? Sri Lanka was bankrupt before, and there is no See them make a move?"

"Hehe~!"

Han Suyu smiled and said, "It's precisely because the Neon Kingdom is at its weakest moment."

She also complacently and playfully asked a question:

"Why do you say that? Mr. Zhao needs to know that the Neon Country is a resource-poor country, and its energy and food are extremely dependent on imports. After the conflict broke out in Eastern Europe, it was precisely these two things that rose the most. As for the Neon Country, it needed Dump more yen and exchange it for dollars to import these things."

Zhao An's knowledge of geography has not been forgotten, so he naturally knows that Neon is an island country surrounded by the sea, and there are many mountains in the country located in the fault zone of the plate, there are many volcanoes and earthquakes in the country, not to mention the small cultivated area, but the population is quite large... ...

Seeing him nodding slightly, Han Suyu said with even more enthusiasm: "In addition, mainstream countries around the world are raising interest rates, especially the 3-year treasury bonds in the United States. The yield exceeds [-]%, causing international capital to sell the yen. exchange for dollars to buy high-interest U.S. bonds,"

"Mr. Zhao, you can see that at this moment, Nihong Country itself and international capital have the demand to sell the yen at this moment, resulting in huge pressure on the yen to depreciate. The defense line of the yen is already loose."

"Therefore, yesterday's aggressive selling of Japanese debt by international short sellers seemed to have dealt a fatal blow to the other side. At this moment, the yen's defense line is also full of cracks, and it is about to collapse."

"This is just one day. The central bank of Nihong Country has taken over 10.9 trillion Japanese debts. Originally, 10.9 trillion of this money was just paper, but now it is only exchanged for cash. A large amount of hot money came out, which is basically equivalent to taking the initiative to release water.”

Han Suyu was quietly analyzing the pros and cons to Zhao An, while Zhao An closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically.

The former continued to analyze the classics: "We might as well compare it with the 2021 trillion domestic water released in [-]. Our total GDP in that year was [-] trillion U.S. dollars. In [-], Japan's total GDP was [-] trillion U.S. dollars. The two are very close."

"After we released 5359 trillion yuan of water in that year, Mr. Zhao can understand how worthless the money is. Now the Nihong country has released [-] billion yuan of water, and if this state cannot be curbed in time, the depreciation of the yen will be huge." In the bloody situation, it depends on the wrestling between the two sides."

Zhao An suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes, staring at Han Suyu with hair straightened: "I can basically understand what you said just now, but I still have a question, the Neon Kingdom is not without cards, he In fact, there is also a big trick of counter-killing with one blow, "

"I vaguely remember that the short borrowing of Japanese debt must be repaid. It should have a time limit. When the short sells the 100 yuan Japanese debt and saves it for one dollar, if the Neon central bank chooses to raise interest rates at this time, As a result, the price of the yen increased instead of decreasing,”

"I remember that the old Americans have often used this trick in recent years to resist inflation. In this way, one dollar can only be exchanged for 90 yen, and short sellers have to pay 0.11 dollars to exchange for 100 yen. To buy bonds and repay debts, this One swipe will wipe out the short sellers."

Han Suyu said cheerfully: "Haha, so I said this is an opportunity for us to make a fortune! Because unfortunately, Nihong dare not use this trick at all."

Zhao An showed a look of listening attentively, and Han Suyu continued to talk: "Since the signing of the Plaza Accord, the economy of Neon Country has stagnated for nearly 30 years. I hope to maintain low interest rates all year round, so that people can borrow more money to consume and stimulate the economy.”

"But despite this, consumption has not been boosted. Neon can only barely maintain the economy from recession. If the interest rate is raised at this time, the willingness of the Neon people to consume will definitely decrease again. Then their economy is very likely to decline. fell into a sharp recession,"

"But what the Neon Kingdom is really afraid of is probably not this..."

Zhao An cooperated and asked: "Oh, what is that?"

Han Suyu smiled strangely and said, "It's Laomei. In the early 80s, Laomei's fiscal deficit increased sharply, and its foreign trade deficit increased sharply. This is why the Plaza Accord has harvested the neon economy for 30 years."

"So it's the same now!" Zhao An probably understood what Han Suyu meant, and he also expressed his point of view: "Lao Mei is also raising interest rates now, just hoping that capital will flow back to support her economy. If you dare to raise interest rates, you will suck back my Laomei’s capital..."

"Haha, when I was young, the garrison of Lao Mei was stationed in vain?"

As a dog left by Laomei in East Asia, Xiaotian naturally didn't dare to bark his teeth at his master.

Han Suyu said with a smile: "So this is the reason why the Neon Kingdom has a unique trick but can't use it. Their central bank can only support it, and watch themselves being harvested by international airdrops."

Zhao An could imagine such a situation. The energy and food in Neon Country basically depended on imports. The rise in the prices of these two things has caused inflation from the outside world to be transmitted to Neon Country, leading to hyperinflation in Neon Country.

In addition, if the airdrop is successful and the yen is shorted, the yen will continue to depreciate. To buy the same amount of energy and food, the neon country will spend more money, and the cost will be even higher. As a result, hyperinflation will accelerate and the neon The people are forced to bear high prices, sluggish consumption, economic downturn, and most importantly, they have nothing to do...

Thinking of this, Zhao An suddenly stood up, leaning on the desk with both hands, and ordered vigorously: "I have given special instructions to allow you to use the 1000 billion US dollars of Bitcoin profits before to join this hunt for Japanese debt."

"I hope you will form a strong team. This time, I will make these Neon Kingdoms, who are living a good life, die without knowing how they died!"

Chapter 893

Zhao An is never lacking in decisiveness. In fact, he is even a little reckless. He decides to do some things as soon as he thinks about it. It is not his style at all to look forward and backward.

So this decision to join the hunt for Japanese debts is no exception. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he will never and cannot be ambiguous about things that can kill Xiaozi.

Han Suyu went to do the preparatory work with elated enthusiasm, but Zhao An was not idle either.

He made a phone call to Dominique in the northwest and asked him to collect information about the Japanese debt and his participation in the hunting of the Japanese debt. In the past, the soldiers and horses did not mobilize the food and grass, but now the soldiers and horses did not move. The information go ahead.

Dominic had a very good life recently, and he lived in the big villa built by Zhao An. It was originally a wilderness villa built on a hill, but with the popularity of Fogomora microorganisms, the wilderness villa has become a rural style. .

Surrounded by mountains and plains of wheat fields, his two little girlfriends, Elena and Caroline, were overjoyed.

Facing Zhao An's request, Dominic naturally worshiped him like a god: "No problem, boss, I will fix it and send it to your mailbox soon."

But Zhao An said: "You don't need to send it to me. You can send it directly to Ms. Han Suyu Han. She is the direct person in charge of this operation. She is fully responsible for everything."

Dominic: "Okay, I see..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao An sent Han Suyu's contact information to Dominique. He also wanted to see how big a splash he could make with the $1000 billion campaign this time.

Then, he closed the door of his office again, came to the resting compartment, and then activated the teleportation technique, teleporting to the underground space of Mauritania, the interior of the Alpha spaceship.

"Good evening, Mr. Captain!"

Sacco's figure appeared and greeted Zhao An.

Zhao An also responded politely: "Good evening, Mr. Sacco."

"Do you need something again this time? Or a robot?" Sacco asked.

"Yes, robots, but this time I want more of them. The main function is the kind that can dig mountains."

Sacco said: "Mining robots can perfectly meet this requirement, so you don't need to emphasize it at all."

It is also said that mining robots can complete the mining work in the harsher environment of the lunar surface, and some rocks are naturally not a problem.

Zhao An laughed and said, "That's fine, but this time I need a lot."

Sacco responded: "No problem, there are enough materials here to make robots more than enough."

Perhaps in terms of technical content, the Patrick robot is not as advanced as the Slyklin aircraft, and Sacco doesn't care much about Zhao An's request.

And the manufacturing cabin of the Alpha spacecraft is like a production base, and robots will be produced continuously.

The wish came true, and Zhao An had nothing to wait for, so he took some more robots in stock from the warehouse and put them into his six-compartment backpack, then activated the teleportation technique, and returned to the company.

In the afternoon, Ai Qingrou walked into Zhao An's office with a document: "Mr. Zhao, I communicated with the Water Conservancy Engineering Bureau just now. They will sign a complete engineering commission contract with us before they will issue the engineering drawings. It will be handed over to us together with their previous survey data."

The Hongqi River water conservancy project is naturally under the management of the Water Conservancy Engineering Bureau, and there is nothing wrong with signing the contract, it's just public to public.

Zhao An nodded and said, "I will sign a carte blanche authorization, and this project will be hosted by you."

"Want to be the hands-off shopkeeper again?"

Ai Qingrou twitched the corners of her mouth, and said helplessly: "I suggest that our company be upgraded to a group company, and the company's existing major businesses should be established as management companies."

Speaking of this, Zhao An became very interested. He founded the company at the beginning, but he just thought about corporate management. Some things would be much more convenient, but he is actually a novice who knows nothing. , baggy business chaos.

Zhao currently has mines for mining gemstones, mines for collecting resources, and new agricultural bases such as new farms, as well as aerospace business, financial investment, Internet and physical stores, etc. Now they are going to start construction again. Very messy.

He sat up straight, looked at Ai Qingrou and smiled slightly: "Mr. Ai sat down and said, if you have any suggestions, you might as well come and listen..."

Ai Qingrou sat on the opposite side of Zhao An, and said lightly: "I suggest that Zhao's Mining should be upgraded to Zhao's Group, and then several major businesses of the company, such as mining business, should be restructured into Zhao's Mining Company Management , while sales go to other companies.”

"There is also a new farm in Mauritania. Zhao's new agricultural company can be established, and a special person will be appointed as the general manager of the company. Then Zhao Haidong and Mr. Zhao will still manage the mining business in the pan-African region."

To put it bluntly, it is really inappropriate for Zhao Haidong, a graduate of the mining industry, to manage the business of the new farm now.

Zhao An nodded approvingly and said: "It is indeed more thoughtful than I was before, so let's do as President Ai said."

Ai Qingrou smiled slightly and continued: "Then in terms of financial investment, Zhao's Financial Management Co., Ltd. will be established separately to be responsible for financial investment and other aspects of business."

"As well as the business that we need to correspond with the Water Conservancy Bureau, we will establish Zhao's Project, which will be responsible for the upcoming Hongqi River Water Conservancy Project."

Ai Qingrou talked eloquently, and made various arrangements and business divisions of the Zhao family's various businesses.

Zhao An said happily: "It's really good. Mr. Ai really deserves to be Mr. Ai. It's my Zhao An's blessing to have you leading the Zhao family."

Ai Qingrou stood up with a smile: "Then I went to work?"

Zhao An stopped her again and said, "I happen to have something to tell you."

"Oh, what's Mr. Zhao's order?"

Zhao An shared with her Han Suyu's analysis of the Japanese debt situation, as well as the fact that he was about to attack the Japanese debt with a large amount of money.

And said: "I know you still have a lot of money in your hand, why don't you take some out and gamble with me to make some money?"

When Ai Qingrou sold Nuo Yade, she got billions of cash from Zhao An. Even if it was distributed, at least two or three billion yuan in cash was still available.

Moreover, the money she earned from Zhao An in the past was not a small sum.

Ai Qingrou's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao finally didn't eat alone. I have been waiting for this opportunity to make a fortune with Mr. Zhao, but I have been waiting for a long time."

Chapter 894: Feast of Wolves

In a blink of an eye, it was Monday.

大桥亚一是霓虹国国债二级市场，也叫国债期货市场的一名小职员，平常的工作就是监控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！国债市场的流动性。

Although the position is simple, his work is quite important and necessary.

A very important data is that when the Ministry of Finance issues new bonds, it must refer to the liquidity of the secondary market.

It can also be said that it is the liberalization of interest rates that has stimulated the emergence and improvement of market risk management needs, and has in turn led to the emergence and development of treasury bond futures.

But recently Ohashi Aichi's life is not very easy, not to mention the insomnia all night long, and he has to rely on getting drunk to relieve stress.

But he still has to come to work with a hangover headache on Monday, or his house, car, wife and children will all be a thing of the past.

In recent years, the neon market has been sluggish, the yen has depreciated at an accelerated rate, and money has become less and less valuable, but his income has not increased. As an older employee, he is facing the pressure of supporting his family, which is normal when he thinks about it.

"Good morning, Team Leader Harada!"

When the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, I packed up my clothes and came to the work station. Ohashi Aichi greeted his boss.

The boss, Harada Yui, is a woman in her 30s. She looks mature and looks like a royal sister. She is also the object of Ohashi Aichi's fantasy at certain times, but at work, Ohashi Aki and Harada Yui dare not have the slightest disrespectful.

For a woman to be a supervisor in the national bond futures market, one can imagine Yui Harada's ability and skill.

But Harada Yui's face was not very pretty.

"Did something happen? Leader Harada..."

Ohashi Aichi asked puzzledly, and then followed the team leader's eyes to look at the big screen feeding back market data.

"It seems to be calm?" Ohashi Yayi breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as there is no large amount of empty orders like last Friday, I think we should still be able to get through this difficulty... "

He still has a little illusion about the market.

"madness!"

Two sarcastic words popped out of Yui Harada's mouth. She folded her arms around her chest and squeezed the tall giant panda into a beautiful shape. She continued, "This is just the calm before the storm."

"Last week, the international short sellers sold 10.9 billion short orders. If they can't continue to short sell this time, when we recover and the settlement date comes, they will lose nothing left!"

Ohashi Aichi said nervously: "Then if the international short sellers continue their offensive like last week, can we hold it..."

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!"
