Chapter 1142 (1/2)

When Chen Qing got the news from girl a, the winter time on the east coast of North America, which was 13 hours later than China, was the night of Friday, June 27 the day before. Moreover, Simon happened to be attending a gathering of financial circles on the upper east side of Manhattan.

Celebrate Thailand's first victory.

Soros is standing opposite Simon with a glass of champagne.

When girl a finished the story in her ear, facing Soros's inquiring eyes, Simon did not hide it and said directly: ”news from China, about Hong Kong.”

Soros immediately raised his eyebrows.

Simon's good relationship with China is well known. During the day today, the Thai government just raised the white flag. Coupled with the return ceremony on July 1, at this juncture, China's attempt to contact Simon is still about Hong Kong. You don't need to know what it is for.

Seeing that Soros's expression soon turned into a smile, Simon continued: ”George, recently clean up the position against Hong Kong, just as I owe you a favor, and if you want to make the favor bigger, you can say a few words in public at the right time.”

Simon was so direct again that Soros had to restrain his expression.

As a matter of fact, with the $3 billion invested in Quantum Fund by westero system, even if Simon orders directly at this time, Soros can only compromise. In the final analysis, Soros is just a fund manager who manages other people's money. Maybe he can show a strong posture in front of other investors without interference, but for this young tycoon, he has no such confidence.

Now, Simon takes the initiative to offer a favor, and Soros is not likely to be ungrateful.

However, Soros did not immediately agree, but said: ”Simon, you know, in Washington, they hope to teach Hong Kong and Beijing a lesson this time.”

Soros's financial operation could not have been successful without the tacit consent of the Washington authorities.

Like Britain in '92, this is a strong ally.

If other Wall Street capitals dare to attack the British currency without any communication with Washington, it is not impossible to arrest people directly in order to safeguard the interests of their allies.

Soros's action this time is also in line with the overall interests of the Federation.

Simon shook his head when he heard the words: ”George, those guys in Washington don't understand. Do you think I don't understand either? In this operation in Southeast Asia, we have only made a quick profit. In the long run, it is China that has benefited the most. ”

During the Asian financial crisis in 1997, all the once prosperous four little dragons and four little tigers in Asia suffered heavy losses. Some of them did not recover until many years later. After the destruction of these economies, western countries urgently needed a replacement. This benefit just fell on China.

Soros, of course, understood this, but he said, ”it's true, Simon. I just don't understand. Why do you know so many things?”

So, Soros can't help but think of that time in 87.

In the public memory, Soros became famous when he attacked the pound in 1992, and the highlight was in 1997. However, for Soros himself, the failure in the process of the stock market crash in 1987 is the most unforgettable. At that time, the scale of quantum fund was less than $3 billion, and it lost $800 million in the first World War.

In a word, because of the zero sum game nature of stock index futures, a large part of the $800 million that was lost at the beginning was earned by the young people in front of us.

And then, the rapid rise of the westero system.

Even if the decline of NASDAQ continues, Simon's personal wealth will still be more than $1 trillion in the near future, and Soros himself, even if the first world war against Southeast Asia goes well and he gets 20% of the profits from this harvest, his personal wealth will hardly reach $10 billion.

People are better than people There's no way.

Simon has heard a lot of similar inquiries over the years and practiced Tai Chi skillfully: ”well, it's said that the mental hospital in Watsonville in the south of the bay area has been changed into a sanatorium, and the charge is very high. I really realized there. George, if you are really curious, you can try to live for a while.”

Soros didn't expect much from the answer. He just laughed and said, ”Simon, I can promise you, but I'm in fact in a bit of trouble. You owe me less than China owes you, right?”

”Maybe so,” Simon shrugged. ”The problem is, George, China has a lot of people. I can take it, but you don't have to. If you can't get the favor, it may be useless. And my kindness is just right for you. ”

Simon once again said a truth that Soros didn't want to admit. The old man had no choice but to say, ”OK, that's it.”

Simon added, ”and what about making people bigger?”

Soros looked at Simon and said, ”well, Simon, isn't it more useful for you to speak out yourself?”

”George, I'll teach you an interesting idiom from China.”Soros didn't want to learn, or he could only answer, ”hmm?”

”Probably means, how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife?”

“……”

”In fact, there is another thing,” Simon did not mean to change the topic, and then said, ”as for South Korea, since you want to give up the layout for Hong Kong, put the extra chips on South Korea, the more the better.”

These are things Simon has been thinking about for a long time.

In view of Hong Kong, Simon's initial plan was that if no one thought of himself, he would honestly be a spectator and let Soros do the wind and rain. If someone greets you, send an adult along.

And then, South Korea.

On the other side of Hong Kong, Soros didn't get any advantage, so it's better to put more chips on South Korea.

Although South Korea used to be the last country to be attacked in Asia, its economic devastation is no less than that of other countries. On the other hand, one of the advantages of cracking down on the currencies of Southeast Asian countries is that it is convenient for subsequent speculative capital to copy down the assets of various countries. Simon is not interested in the assets of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries at all, and his target is only South Korea.

When Soros heard this, he didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, ”Simon, is this a second favor?”

”Of course not, it's just a suggestion, if you don't want to, when I don't say it.”

Soros, of course, can't ignore Simon's words.

On the contrary, they attach great importance to it.

What I think of again is that time in 1987. In addition, since Simon westero talked about South Korea at this time, there must be great prospects for betting in this respect.

When the matter was settled, Simon was not in a hurry to inform China and continued to socialize at the party.

After all, it's like unlocking.

In previous lives, I often saw similar news. Some people forgot their keys and called to ask the lock unlock master to talk about the price. As a result, the master came to open the lock in dozens of seconds. The employer immediately felt that the price was high. You need 100 yuan in dozens of seconds. Is that too dark?!

Therefore, Simon didn't give any reply for several days until the weekend passed and a new week came.

On Tuesday, July 1, there was a heated ceremony for the return of Hong Kong. On the same day, there was the premiere of Independence Day in Hollywood.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the new week, Thailand, which has won a weekend buffer for itself, has not reached any agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which is discussing relief.
