New York, USA

wall street,

The stock exchange was crowded with people, and the clicking of telegraph machines and the shouts of traders were intertwined.

In the trading hall, traders from the Philippines Dobao Group were dressed in neat suits, beads of sweat on their foreheads, their eyes fixed on the electronic quotation screen.

From 50 to 53, the United States fought another three years of war, with little success, but the annual expenditure was as high as hundreds of billions, and the country was deeply mired in the quagmire of war.

This led to a recession in the U.S. economy.

In the stock market, except for arms stocks, stocks of other companies are continuing to fall, and the trends of major commodities such as aluminum, copper, and steel are also very sluggish!

Today's trading has finally started!

Traders from Duobao Group quickly slapped stacks of order sheets filled with stock codes on the broker's desk.

Coca-Cola, General Motors, and U.S. Steel stock orders were flying like snowflakes, and every bid attracted the attention of surrounding traders. "Buy another 5000 shares!" The roar of the person in charge penetrated the noise. Duobao Group was almost predatory, frantically absorbing chips in the rising tide of the stock market.

At the Duobao Group's seat, a man in a white shirt was leisurely sipping a cup of coffee, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile!

He is Zheng Enliang, vice president of Duobao Group and head of financial business. However, he also has another identity, manager of the financial assets department of Chaoying Group!

The entire Duobao Group was invested and registered by Chaoying Group, but the place of registration is the Philippines! Because Haizhou has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the United States, it is impossible to open a trading account on Wall Street!

Zheng Enliang has been here for almost two months. During these two months, he completed the preliminary preparations. Chaoying Group gave Duobao Group US$30 billion worth of gold as start-up capital!

Recently, a top-secret trading order was sent from the group, asking Zheng Enliang to start buying stocks in the financial market, and a list of 11 companies was given! Among them, 8 were consumer and resource companies that required long positions, and 3 were arms companies that required short positions!

In the past seven days, Duobao Group has bought stocks worth US$11.95 billion and short options worth US$4.37 million on Wall Street!

The real behind-the-scenes manipulator is of course the Ministry of Finance and Materials of Haizhou State. The financial market is greatly affected by the war and there are many opportunities to make profits. Since the U.S. stock market can be long or short, there are many opportunities to make profits regardless of whether the war with the United States will continue!

New Zealand,

Wellington,

1953 years 7 months,

The atmosphere in the negotiation room was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. A huge negotiation table was placed in the middle of the room, separating Haizhou Foreign Minister Chen Chao and US Secretary of State Acheson.

Outside the window, the cold wind in Wellington was whistling and hitting the window, as if it was also anxious about this difficult negotiation.

Chen Chao was wearing a black down jacket, looking calm and steady. He stared at Acheson with a firm gaze. The pen in his hand tapped the table gently, making a rhythmic sound, breaking the silence for a moment. He spoke slowly, his voice low but powerful: "Mr. Acheson, the war has brought pain and disaster to too many people. It's time to end it!"

Acheson leaned back in his chair, frowned slightly, and unconsciously played with the pen in his hand. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his tough look: "Minister Chen, your request is too much, isn't it? Yokosuka is now the base of our US fleet!"

The two sides have been talking about a ceasefire for a month, but now they are stuck on one thing: Haizhou State demands that the United States hand over its military bases in Yokosuka, Japan or Dover, England! Choose one!

Chen Chao's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked directly at Acheson without flinching: "We are talking about a choice between the two, Dover or Yokosuka, one must be handed over to us! Besides, you have dozens of bases abroad!"

Acheson's face changed slightly: "Dover is a British port. We Americans have no say in this matter!"

Chen Chao smiled faintly.

"As long as you, the United States, agree, we will take over the Port of Dover from the British in three months at most. The British already owe us an apology and compensation for the war!"

Acheson suppressed his discomfort and anger and said,

"Minister Chen, this is a naked threat! You are hegemonic! Don't forget that Britain also has nuclear weapons now!"

Chen Chao curled his lips and said with a relaxed look,

"It doesn't matter. Our president said that at worst, the world can be destroyed and we can all start over from the original tribe. Let's see who develops faster this time!"

"Mad man, absolutely a mad man!"

Acheson cursed in his heart. He was silent for a moment, put down the pen in his hand, and sat up straight: "Minister Chen, I can't promise you this matter immediately. I need to confirm with President Eisenhower!

Chen Chao nodded.

"Okay, our President Yin of Haizhou has been considering a question, that is, whether to fully intervene in European affairs. I look forward to your reply!"

About half an hour later,

Acheson came back with difficulty.

He said helplessly,

"Our president agrees to hand over the Yokosuka Port to your country, but we hope that your country will not interfere in European affairs!"

Chen Chao sneered and said,

"We will not take the initiative to intervene in European affairs unless we encounter unfair trade treatment or our citizens or merchant ships are attacked!"

Acheson said,

"This time, we have made quite a few concessions. Minister Chen, I hope you will keep your promise and open up the domestic market!"

"Don't worry, we will open our market to the United States with zero tariffs! We can have a drink to celebrate tonight!" Chen Chao said with a smile. The negotiations were finally over and he was in a very good mood!

A sly look flashed across Acheson's eyes, and he thought to himself,

"When you open your market, you will realize how powerful our American capital is!"

He responded immediately and enthusiastically.

"Very good. After a month of negotiations, it's finally over. It's time for us to have a drink!"

On July 7, the US and the Hai jointly issued a notice on establishing diplomatic relations, which mainly included:

1. The two sides end the state of war and hostility and establish normal diplomatic relations!

2. The two sides will carry out economic and trade activities and grant zero tariff bilateral treatment!

3. The United States will withdraw from the Yokosuka military base in Japan within two months and hand it over to the navy!

The news of the signing of the announcement by both parties spread all over the world in an instant, and the financial market reacted particularly strongly. The US stock market jumped 3% at the opening! Many stocks rose by more than 20%!

The stocks of arms companies that had originally seen huge gains, such as Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed, Newport News Shipbuilding, and Olin Corporation, all fell sharply!
