Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Masses of rock broke off the mountain face and then appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the valley.

Soon, a tunnel mouth with a height of three or four meters and a depth of four or five meters appeared between the two mountains.

Then, Zhao An took out the Patrick robot he had prepared a long time ago from the six-compartment backpack, three on each side, and started construction in different directions.

They will be completely dug into the mountain, and eventually a tunnel more than 20 meters high and more than 40 meters wide will be formed here.

The water of the Hongqi River will flow through here.

Even in the future when the Hongqi River is completed, the dome of the tunnel can also be equipped with ambient lights, and tourists can take boats down the tunnel and down the river.

The tens of kilometers long tunnel river, accompanied by the ever-changing ambient lights, may become a spot for online celebrities to check in.

And this legacy platform will be used as a place for Patrick's robots to bask in the sun and collect energy. When the power grid has not yet been laid, they can only make do with it.

Then Zhao An flashed again, and used the same method in another place.

It also excavated a platform, put down the robots and let them construct by themselves, almost out of power, and recharged by themselves in the sun.

Zhao An has set up three such platforms in total. Although the efficiency is not high now, as the number of robots increases in the future, and the power grid is laid along the line in the future, the efficiency will be very fast.

After teleporting back to the hotel, Zhao An began to think about other issues.

Although the Patrick robot can work on its own, and the Medog area is sparsely populated, the robot will basically not be disturbed when it is working, but everything is inevitable.

In case there is a careless passerby, he will run into the mountains... What should I do?

So Zhao An started making calls again, calling a squad of Xiong'an soldiers from Cambodia, and asked them to guard temporarily, just in case.

Chapter 916 Market Setback

Sure enough, Gao Qiang was right. The military riots in Valuatu have been going on for two days, and the Valuaku Party led by Edward has successfully come to power. The international community has no news, and the media from all walks of life has no news about Valuatu.

In fact, Edward was thinking too much. Valuatu is such a small country, and it is a small island country in the South Pacific region. The most important thing is that this island country is still extremely poor and belongs to the world's least developed country.

Coup d'état or not, how big a wave can it cause in the world structure?

Nobody cares at all...

As the situation in Varuatu gradually stabilized under the efforts of the Varuaku Party, Edward also discussed with Gao Qiang, who was with him every step of the way: "Varuatu is in dire straits, and we urgently need assistance."

It is nonsense to wait for everything to be done, but it is true that assistance is urgently needed.

Gao Qiang said: "President Edward, please rest assured that we have already prepared for this. Within three days, a group of cargo ships full of various supplies will arrive in Port Vila. There are food, medicine, daily necessities, and even some tools on board. The total price of all kinds of materials is as high as [-] million U.S. dollars."

"These supplies are part of our aid to Varuatu and our commitment to President Edward."

"In addition to this ship, there are several other ships that are starting to ship, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Port Vila in 20 days."

Malum Island is undergoing a grand land reclamation project, and personnel and machinery require a lot of supplies to maintain, and it is normal to transport supplies one after another.

Only then did Edward look slightly relieved, but he was also shocked by Gao Qiang and others' move to prepare the materials in advance and transport them to Varuatu:

"You are so sure that we will succeed?"

Gao Qiang said with a chuckle: "That is inevitable. Our motto is either not to do it, or to do it to the best."

Edward nodded approvingly, and then said, "That's really great. I think Valuatu will definitely be able to develop better with the help of Mr. Zhao."

"However, in the long run..."

Edward changed the subject and said: "In the long run, if Valuatu wants to develop, we cannot completely rely on external forces. We must have our own development path."

Gao Qiang raised his brows and said, "It's nothing to do with Mr. Edward. We will not interfere with any of Varuatu's policies, nor will we violate or damage the interests of the people of Varuatu, if it does not involve our own interests."

"We will only make Valuatu better and better..."

That's what I said, but the real situation is that if there is no profit, why would Zhao An choose this place as his base in Oceania?

What he valued was the geographical advantage of this place, and it was also related to Zhao An's strategic conception of spreading his influence across the five continents.

Edward sighed and said, "I hope it's true..."

......

Zhao An returned to his hometown in Yun County the next day. As soon as he got home, he saw that the house was full of relatives, all of whom came to visit the new generation of the Zhao family, Princess Zhao Yuqi.

The eldest son and eldest daughter of an ancient big family were all highly valued. This is related to the inheritance of the family's Nuoda family business and the continuation and inheritance of the entire family.

Therefore, there is also a saying that the emperor loves the eldest son and the common people love the youngest son.

The four-month-old Xiao Yuqi is fat and plump, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, perfectly inheriting the advantages of Zhao An and Li Zhiyuan's appearance, she looks extremely cute.

"Hey, Zhao An is back." Zhao An's third aunt Lu Xiuling shouted happily.

Zhao An greeted everyone with a smile, and saw Xiao Yuqi in the center of Zhongxing Pengyue, who was giggling at Wang Shiqi at the moment, and her laughter was high-pitched.

After not seeing each other for a day, Zhao An hugged the child in his arms for the first time, and Wang Shiqi was still curiously beside her to tease the child.

Zhao An asked her, "Have you graduated from junior high school...have you been admitted to high school?"

"graduated!"

Wang Shiqi replied: "I was admitted to Yunxian No. [-] Middle School, and the admission notice has been sent."

Zhao An said: "That's good, I was in Yun County No. [-] Middle School back then."

"But do you want to go to Jiangcheng to study? If you want to go, I can find a way for you..."

It's not that Yun County No. [-] Middle School is not good, but that Zhao An feels that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

If the conditions are good, it will naturally develop towards a better place.

At this time, the third aunt Lu Xiuling was very moved when she heard this, and said to Zhao An: "Zhao An, is what you said true?"

Zhao An smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but the best high school in Jiangcheng is the No. [-] High School Affiliated to China Normal University. How about I get in touch with Shiqi later?"

"That's really great, Shi Qi hasn't thanked your cousin yet." Lu Xiuling said excitedly.

Wang Shiqi lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Thank you cousin!"

Zhao An: "It's nothing, we are all a family, as it should be."

Soon the family banquet was ready with the efforts of Lu Xiufen, Li Zhiyuan and others, and the whole family ate happily.

During the dinner, everyone talked about the recent changes in their own family, and they all said that the days are getting better every day.

In the afternoon, the relatives got together to play cards for a while. In the evening, Zhao An's family rushed to the airport and returned to Jiangcheng on the Zhiyuan.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Zhao An came to the company. As soon as he entered his office, Han Suyu hurriedly knocked on the door and came in. He said anxiously to Zhao An: "Mr. Zhao, it's not good, something serious happened!"

Zhao An asked puzzledly: "What big things can happen to a good person? Don't rush and talk slowly."

Han Suyu said: "Since two days ago, the Japanese bond market, which we have been pressing on step by step, has started to rise against the trend. We and many international speculators have been frantically suppressing it..."

How can it be?

Zhao An's heart tightened. He had already subdued the three major families of the Dark Brotherhood, and they were all cooperating with him to complete the action of harvesting Japanese debts. Why is the Japanese debt market going up against the trend now?

"Did any big consortium make a move?"

Zhao An asked in a deep voice.

Han Suyu said: "It is true that there is a consortium involved, but not one, but several."

"How many?" Zhao An asked uncertainly, "Which consortiums are they, please explain."

Han Suyu said: "There is the Quantum Fund managed by the internationally renowned speculator Soros, there is the Mitsui Foundation, there is the Sumitomo Foundation..."

She reported the names of the consortia one by one, and Zhao An frowned a little bit.

"I can understand that the Mitsui Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation took action to rescue the market, but how did the Quantum Fund get involved?" Zhao An asked puzzled.

Chapter 917 Never admit defeat

After listening to Han Suyu's report, Zhao An's mood suddenly turned bad, and he couldn't help asking: "Are the Mitsui and Sumitomo conglomerates so big? They can save the Japanese bond market that has been beaten by us? "

"I've also heard of the Quantum Fund, but haven't they been in recession in recent years and have basically faded out of the financial market?"

韩素雨叹了一口气道：“霓虹其实跟韩国一样，也是被财团掌控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！的经济格局。”

"Basically speaking, the six consortiums of Neon are connected with each other, intertwined with each other, and with the major banks as the core, they ultimately control the source." 9?8'0: 2! !All aspects of neon. "

"According to statistics, the six major consortiums of Neon account for 60.00% of the total assets of Neon. It is estimated that we have touched their fundamentals this time, which caused their large-scale counterattack."

"Although the Quantum Fund has declined in recent years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and their capital plus leverage should not be underestimated,"

"And they are also the notorious hyenas in the financial world, and they naturally swarmed up when they smelled blood..."

The debut of Quantum Fund was the pinnacle. It started from shorting the British pound and shorting the Italian lira, until it even detonated the financial crisis in Southeast Asia in 97. It can be described as an outstanding record.

When she said this, Zhao An basically understood the current situation, and his mood became even worse.

"How much money do we have now?" he asked in a low voice.

Han Suyu lowered her head and said in a low voice like a child who has done something wrong: "There are still more than 100 billion US dollars, and all the others have been leveraged and invested in the Japanese bond and yen markets."

Zhao An continued to ask: "Mr. Ai followed you and voted a lot, right?"

Han Suyu said: "Boss Ai didn't invest much, and it's estimated to be around [-] million. The main force is us and international speculators."

The so-called international speculators are mainly the Rex Consortium that Hawthorne Rex belongs to, but now the Rex Consortium is basically locked up just like Zhao An.

Zhao An said: "Then how much money can we get back if we close the position now?"

Han Suyu said truthfully: "Due to the current large-scale acquisitions and hype, the return on Japanese bonds and the exchange rate of the yen have risen against the trend. Calculated, we may only be able to recover more than 400 billion U.S. dollars."

"That is to say, the net loss is more than 400 billion..."

"Hi~!"

More than 600 billion, such a big loss made Zhao An unable to hold back his breath.

It's only been a few days, and I have been chasing fiercely for nearly half a month before. At that time, if I closed my position, I would only earn 200 billion US dollars. Losing so much money.

Although he earned the money by selling bitcoins, it was the money he got after all. It was just a waste of money in the financial market. It would be a lie to say that Zhao An didn't feel sorry for him.

"Then what should we do now? How can we recover such a big loss?"

Zhao An asked with a bitter face.

Han Suyu sighed again: "There are two ways to go now. One is the forced liquidation I mentioned earlier, using the existing Japanese bond price and yen exchange rate to liquidate the position."

"The other thing is to continue to increase positions, hedge against them and destroy the six major consortiums, and we can earn back with interest."

The six major financial groups are the last pillars of Neon, and their size Han Suyu also said just now, how can Zhao An alone be able to defeat them?

One of these two plans is to carry it to the end, either you die or I die, either Zhao An will lose the bottom, or Zhao An will completely defeat the six neon consortiums and make a lot of money.

Zhao An thought for a long time, and then asked: "Then there is no other way?"

Han Suyu said: "Other methods are not realistic. One is that there are more funds entering the market and join us in hedging with several major consortiums. However, in the current situation, apart from Soros' Quantum Fund, it is estimated that there are not many in the world. A consortium dares to enter."

"But the Quantum Fund is now going the opposite of us..."

what to do? More than 400 billion US dollars, just admit defeat?

Han Suyu's mood is also very low, and for such a long time, the burden of work has been on her shoulders, and now she is facing a huge loss, and her pressure is extremely heavy.

"Mr. Zhao, it's time to make a decision. Every minute, part of our money will evaporate..." Han Suyu urged with the pain in his heart.

"This time I made a mistake in judgment. If Mr. Zhao has any complaints, please come to me, but we really don't have time, we have to make a decision."

"No matter what Mr. Zhao does after the end, I will accept..."

In fact, Zhao An was also thinking about it, and he was actually very entangled.

He is indeed dissatisfied with these losses, but it does not exist to say how much he cares.

With his current ability, he doesn't care about the amount of money at all. If he is really short of money, he can go directly to empty the Fed's underground vault, which contains more than 300 tons of gold.

And he doesn't need to go in, just operate the storage function of the six-compartment backpack, and it can be emptied for him without leaving any traces.

What he can't stand is losing, especially losing to the little life he has always looked down upon.

This would be a stain on his life, he could bear losing and losing money, but Zhao An couldn't bear losing to Xiaotian and losing money at the same time.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao An finally asked again: "If there is any natural disaster at this time, tell me, can the situation be saved?"

"Natural disaster?" Han Suyu asked suspiciously, "How big a natural disaster? Unless it is a natural disaster that can affect the entire four islands, it must be an earthquake on the scale of Fukushima, and it must occur in a prosperous area to have a chance."

Zhao An was in a good mood immediately: "It's good to have a chance, you go back first, stabilize the market situation, and I'll think of a way."

"After you go back, keep an eye on the market. Once the yen exchange rate and Japanese bond yields fall again, hurry up and harvest."
