America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 492 New York Daily Life
World-renowned large companies, large banks, large insurance companies and stock exchanges gather in Manhattan, with towering skyscrapers, known as the "standing city".

After European Velrazano arrived in New York Harbor in 1524 AD, the pioneering era of Manhattan began.The Dutch took the lead and sent fur traders to set up a fur trading station here. At that time, the Indians dressed like punks passed through Manhattan along today's Broadway Street. The Dutch bought ornaments worth 24 dollars from the Indians. Manhattan, which was called New Amsterdam, was soon occupied by the British and named New York.

Whether past or present, Manhattan has always been the center of New York.

The South Pier is outside South Street in Manhattan and is the starting point to the sea, with many piers.

Among the many piers, Pier 15 is a port dedicated to berthing small and medium-sized yachts and belongs to a private company.

At least one-third of private yachts in Manhattan are moored here.

Standing on the jetty at Pier 15.

Looking at the beautiful Beneteau Lagoon catamaran in front of him, John Chris Morgan couldn't help saying:
"Hey, the new model is indeed much more beautiful. My two second-hand ships are a bit out of date now."

The visiting financial monster is the head of the Morgan family.

In fact, John Chris has always been the person who has the most contact with Abel on Rockefeller and Morgan.

What's your idea over there? When you want to communicate with Abel, it's this little old man who calls.

John Cleese is much younger than David, who is in his eighties and he is in his fifties.

Strictly speaking, he is also the same age as George and Alexander.

"You came all the way from Long Island just to see my new boat, right? If you want to see it, there are more beautiful ones behind."

Abel preached casually.

He didn't let the little old man into the boat.

Lagoon catamaran is beautiful and big, but it is also just a large sailing boat, not a yacht.

The size is actually about that, much smaller than many modern yachts.

There are still his women on the sailboat, and he will not let John Cleese aboard.

"That's the way you are. So direct."

John Chris had to say what he came for.

"Let Morgan Stanley join you and Soros."

Abel raised his eyebrows.

His and Soros' sniping operations against the pound have been in place since April.

Now that it was time to close the net, the little old man suddenly wanted to join in, and of course Abel felt a little sudden.

But Abel also knew that there was no harm in bringing Morgan into this kind of thing.

At that time, it will be Soros, Abel Smith, Morgan, and a lot of international hot money, and everyone will target the British pound.

Even if they want to retaliate, the British government has to consider the consequences.

And... When the British found out that some of the funds shorting their currency came from certain secret fund accounts of the Windsor family, they didn't know how they would feel.

But in fact, this kind of thing is very common in major capital countries.

If nothing else, just talk about America.When shorting the U.S. dollar and U.S. stocks, the most active ones are actually the major U.S. oligarchs.

"Are you sure? It's too late for you to enter now." Abel said softly.

Sniping the British pound is a big business, involving hundreds of billions of dollars in capital flows.

But if you have to say small, that's okay.

The British pound is actually relatively stable, and the British economy is not as bad as it will be in the future.

There are still three catties of nails in the broken ship, and there is still a little bit of the foundation of the Great Yin Empire left.

Even if Abel and Soros succeed in attacking, the profit will only be around tens of billions of dollars, which will not be as exaggerated as the previous USD/JPY.

Tens of billions of dollars in profits are very lucrative for a company.

Both companies can also be considered very good.

If there are so many people to share together, it will be relatively small.

Logically speaking, the profit is not very high, and the British may be offended by it. Abel should not be willing to do it with his personality.

He's not that short of profit, he's not that short of a pound.

"Haha——" John Chris chuckled and replied:

"Profits probably won't be huge, that's right. But I joined for the same reason as you, dear Abe, the Bank of America and the California consortium are very resistant. We have to look at the Europeans. Just right You're messing with the British, of course we've chosen to join in."

Looking at John Chris, Abel already had some understanding in his heart.

He judged that the little old man should not have lied.

The two sides had confessed to each other earlier in Washington.

Everyone covets the California consortium, which is actually quite normal.

If the Texans or Morgans have a flaw, if the Californians have the opportunity, they will also want to take a bite.

The monster of capital is like this, devouring and proliferating, devouring and proliferating, infinite expansion, crazy pursuit of profit and more money.

Once in the car, there is no way to get off.

Only when he dies at the end of the road, will he stop his infinite devouring pace.

At that time, the two sides "agreed", Abel's goal was Wells Fargo, and he tried it through the Wilson family.

So far, the progress is not bad.

The general manager of Wells Fargo New York Branch is very cooperative.

She barks every night on the top floor of the Smith Tower.

When she called, that high-pitched voice, together with Avril Lavigne and Britney, were sometimes ashamed of themselves.

Ms. General Manager in this state may be pregnant at any time...

When she is pregnant, the next step of Abel's plan can start.

At that time, Morgan and Rockefeller, they targeted the Bank of America.

Bank of America is more attractive than Wells Fargo, and the difficulty of hacking it is certainly more difficult than Wells Fargo.

It now appears that the actions of Morgan and Rockefeller did not go so smoothly.

"So..." After thinking for a while, Abel didn't intend to reject them, "What is your goal?"

"Barclays and HSBC." John Chris was also very calm.

The two goals reported by the little old man, Abel hadn't thought much before.

Hearing the name of HSBC now reminded Abel of his time in Hong Kong Island.

The global chairman of HSBC made a special trip to Hong Kong Island to find his own work.

Think about it, Abel now knows who buried HSBC in the United States.

Looking at John Chris like this, there is no doubt that they are the group of people.

"For HSBC, I want it too. We can share it." Abel replied softly.

As I said before, this time, if we engage in trouble with Soros and attack the pound together, even if we succeed, the profit will not be too great.

It may also offend the British government, which is something that Abel will not do.But Abel took the initiative to initiate the operation.

The reason is that he wants some high-quality British industries!

That's right, if you attack the British pound, the profit will not be very large.

However, some high-quality industries in the UK will be greatly impacted in the massive sniping operation.

At the time of impact, it is the hunters, the best time to get them or at least invade and affect them.

John Chris came to the door, in fact, with this purpose.

That is, in the process of harvesting and sniping the pound, they all wanted to wait for the opportunity to see if they could hunt the prey they wanted.

Just like Abel wanted to get some shares of GlaxoSmithKline, Sainsbury, Rio Tinto, Burberry, Vodafone, Unilever, BP and other high-quality companies in the process...

Well, his "some" is a little bit more.

Similarly, Morgan also wants to get shares in these high-quality British companies.

This is the real reason why the two sides joined in, and Abel even took the initiative to initiate this sniping operation against the pound.

That's why Abel didn't pay so much attention to profit, let Soros host in London, but he ran back to the United States.

He just wanted to be a female cousin and set up a chastity archway.

In fact, many times, the reason why Soros and the others can be so arrogant is also because they have the support of many such giants behind them.

Soros took the lead in the charge—international hot money kept up—after success, giants entered the market to harvest high-quality assets.

This set of three axes is the trick for the United States to harvest the world through the dollar tide.

"Okay, then it's settled like this." John Chris was also refreshed.

Now we are still in the honeymoon period, the relationship is very good.

It's another good thing that can bring benefits to both parties, so of course it won't be too wordy.

The specific details and work are handled by the subordinate employees.

They are big guys who are only responsible for one intention and general actions.

After negotiating the conditions, John Chris did not stay any longer.

Before noon, the head of the Morgan family said goodbye with a smile and left.

Such an episode by John Cleese.

Abel also refrained from continuing to go back to the Lagoon catamaran, and continue to mess around with his Hollywood themes.

On your way back to Smith Tower, pass by the ruins of the Twin Towers.

It has been almost a year since the big event happened.

The pollution caused by the explosion and collapse of the building has not yet completely dissipated.

The demolition and reconstruction of the ruins are still in progress.It has to be said that after entering the new century, the work efficiency of the empire without rivals in all aspects has really become more and more slow.

If this project is replaced by Huaxia, it is estimated that it can be completed in half a year at most.

As for the United States, Abel remembered that in the parallel time and space, it took a long time to clean up the ruins of the twins.

It took a while to build a memorial park in the shape of a pool on the basis of the ruins.

Go back to Smith Tower and take the chairman's elevator to the office of Smith Capital.

Abel had David Mellon called in, along with several other executives.

In the conference hall of Smith Capital, the video conference was started again.

Before the official start of the meeting, Abel looked at the trend charts of various foreign exchange varieties on the screen of the laptop placed on the desk in front of him.

Now he has a huge cash flow of 1130 billion US dollars on hand.

This is also unique among financial companies around the world.

There are only a few companies that can compare with him on the surface, such as Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

Not to mention, he can now conduct financing mortgages and margin transactions through Smith Financial Group, even Morgan Chase, and cooperative banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

If he worked hard, the current Abel could even mobilize trillions of dollars of funds for transactions.

It's a pity that in this world, there is no financial market that can accommodate such a large amount of funds at one time and can continue to trade.

With trillions of dollars of terrorist funds, the foreign exchange market, futures market, and even the U.S. stock market cannot be accommodated in a short period of time.

So in fact, most of the funds he will use in most of his financial operations now are generally around tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars.

No matter how much it is, it is not stock trading or investment, but directly being a banker and boss.

At the same time, the 1130 billion US dollars of funds, in order to avoid supervision, is also to avoid paying huge and terrifying taxes in the United States.

It is scattered in tens of thousands of accounts around the world, and when necessary, it will gather crazily, gather less and become more, and become the terrifying dollar giant.

The vast majority of them, up to hundreds of billions of dollars, are still outside the United States.

The funds in the United States are currently less than 200 billion US dollars.

This is done to avoid taxes.The second reason is that he is now in the United States, and it is very easy to ask for money.

Smith Capital conducts one or two more private placements, and tens of billions of dollars in custody funds can be easily obtained.

Again, you can also get a mortgage.

In the attack on the British pound, Smith Financial Group's overseas accounts have already invested tens of billions of dollars.

In the morning, he had already held a video conference to learn about the progress in this regard, and he also made a satellite call with Soros on the way.

So far so good.

In fact, it is not that the British government has not noticed their little tricks.

On the contrary, the British, who built their country on finance, discovered it a long time ago.

It's just like the time they were sniped by Soros in the 90s, they chose to play badly...

The attitude of the British is very clear now, that is, they want you to do whatever you want, as long as you don't cross the line too much.

They also believe that Americans will not cross the line too much, because the current City of London is basically a clone of Wall Street.

Even if the Americans want to attack the British pound, for this reason, they will not be as ruthless as when targeting other currencies.

This is also one of the reasons why the profit will not be too much in this operation.

Who is the Great Yin Empire and the United States, and now they are completely in the state of conjugated father and son.

There was already a meeting in the morning, and now a video conference is being initiated.

It is Abel who intends to add a new battlefield for Smith Capital in addition to the long-term increase in gold and the short-term attack on the pound.

This time, Abel is targeting the Canadian dollar.

As the name suggests, the Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada and one of the more active varieties in the foreign exchange market.

Although it is not as good as the euro, yen, and pound, it is still in the front.

Abel looked at the U.S. dollar index. The U.S. dollar index has started to rise recently, which means that the U.S. dollar is slowly starting to strengthen again.

In addition, the relationship between oil prices and the Canadian dollar is also relatively close, and a drop in oil prices will drag down the Canadian dollar.

The recent Afghanistan-Afghanistan war has already taken shape in the quagmire.

The investment market feels that the scene of the Red Empire more than 20 years ago may be played again on the Blue Empire.

This has caused the price of international crude oil to go downhill after the crazy rise.

It started to be suppressed from the high level of 38.81 US dollars per barrel. At 30.81, it was just the 20-day moving average on the daily chart, and formed a strong resistance position with the 30-day moving average. Many international financial institutions also began to cooperate in suppressing crude oil.

The Canadian dollar also fell.

Because among the top ten industrial countries (G10) in the world, there are only two net oil exporters, one is Norway and the other is Canada.

The currency exchange rates of these two countries are basically bound to the price of oil.

Therefore, the market generally regards the Canadian dollar as a "petroleum currency" that moves roughly in line with crude oil futures.

"International crude oil fell and oil currencies fluctuated."

Abel, who made up his mind, said, "London has things that London is doing. You can't be idle here. This time your goal is the Canadian dollar. David, I will give you a quota of 100 billion US dollars. I hope you can do it for Smith Capital, bring back enough profits."

David Mellon took the lead in nodding yes.

Now Smith Capital no longer needs Abel to personally direct it every time.

Except for those markets that matter a lot, such as the last USD/JPY level transaction.

Other normal investments are now in the charge of David and the company's elite.

All Abel has to do is to keep an eye on their work, grasp the general direction, and prevent them from causing too much loss to the company.

This is actually quite normal, after all, now is not the time for him to start from scratch.

The amount of funds reaches a certain level, as long as there is no black swan.The party with more money, their money will make money like crazy money in the financial market.

Even if there is no Abel, there will be no black swans, and no one will deliberately ambush and attack.

The current Smith Capital, one of the seven largest investment banks on Wall Street, will only continue to grow stronger.

Yes, Smith Capital is now an investment bank affiliated with Smith Financial Group.

As famous as Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, it has been called the Seven Sons of Wall Street investment banks.

Smiths Bank is a commercial bank under the Smiths Financial Group.

The positioning is similar to Morgan Stanley and Morgan Chase on the other side of Morgan and Rockefeller.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

After visiting Smith Tower.

Abel asked David who had been following him all the time, "What else do I have to do this afternoon?"

David Jones immediately replied: "At 4:00 p.m., Mr. Paulson, the chairman of Goldman Sachs, invited you to have afternoon tea, and you agreed. At 5:00 p.m., there will be a press conference for Smith Media's IPO, and you promised Levin Sir will appear. At 5:30 p.m. Mr. Robert Morgenthau..."

"Stop, I remember yesterday when Kayla said she wanted to see the New York Giants game?"

"Yes. You didn't say yes right away."

"Then change the itinerary. I worked all day today and I don't want to work in the afternoon. Let Kayla know that I am willing to accompany her to the football game."

David smiled and nodded immediately.

After half an hour.

Manhattan, 180 Madison Avenue, downstairs of the head office of Wells Fargo New York Branch.

As one of the largest commercial banks in the United States, Wells Fargo has many branches in Manhattan and even hundreds of branches in New York.

The one at 180 Madison Avenue is the head office of Wells Fargo New York Branch, which manages hundreds of branches throughout New York.

Ms. Keira Wilson, who is only 25 years old this year, officially took office here not long ago and became the first person in charge of Wells Fargo Bank in New York.

Three black Cadillacs stopped at the entrance of Wells Fargo Bank.

A few minutes later, Madam President came out from inside.

After another ten minutes, the convoy arrived at Smith Tower not far away.

Soon, she came to the helicopter berth on the upper floor of the building.

At 4 p.m., Keira, who was wearing a pair of blue cropped trousers, a white round-neck sweater, and a dark blue waist coat, was gently carried by Abel into the luxuriously decorated helicopter.

The helicopter took off and the target was the MetLife Stadium in New York.

　Fast-forward, it's not over so quickly...a lot of what I wanted to write hasn't been written yet.
