Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Making a billion a day is not too much
"Yes, I don't want anyone to know about it, so—"
Sophie Marceau could naturally hear Lu Qing's teasing, and asked back with a smile: "Handsome Mr. Chen, do you want to do something to me?"
There was a hint of provocation in his tone, his brown pupils looked like elves in the forest, and he looked straight at Lu Qing without showing any weakness.
Obviously, she is not the type to easily admit defeat, even if it is just a joke.
"I really want to say that I don't have any deviant thoughts about you, but I don't want to lie."
Lu Qing shrugged and asked with a smile: "Would you like to give me your contact information?"
Hearing this, Sophie Marceau also laughed: "Chen, you really surprised me because you are the second man who dared to admit that he has thoughts about me in front of my face."
"the second?"
Lu Qing blinked: "Who is the first one?"
"My current boyfriend."
Sophie Marceau tilted her head and smiled playfully.
"Oh no!"
Lu Qing slapped his forehead and sighed with feigned regret: "God, look what I've missed."
Sophie Marceau also laughed happily.
Lu Qing's direct and subtle compliments really benefited her.
She has always been straightforward and doesn't like those roundabout ways of communication, so she doesn't like that kind of tactful confession;
But also, because she already has a boyfriend, she doesn't like the kind of person who confesses directly without regard to ethics.
Lu Qing is just right.
"Unfortunately, handsome Mr. Dongfang, you are late."
Sophie Marceau smiled at Lu Qing, turned around and left gracefully.
Seeing her slender figure leaving slowly, Lu Qing couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Of course, he didn't sigh because he didn't meet Sophie Marceau earlier, but because he couldn't communicate with Sophie Marceau further.
Indeed, she likes Sophie Marceau's straightforward character, but he also likes graceful, simple, bold, green tea...
Just when he felt sorry for not being able to get Sophie Marceau's contact information, he saw Walid who was not far away waved at him vigorously. Beside him, there were four or five hot blonde beauties .
So, Lu Qing immediately forgot the regret in his heart, and walked over with a smile.
……
9 month 5 day.
Saturday.
After Lu Qing got up, he turned on the hotel TV.
Soon, when he saw the news report on TV, a smile appeared on his face:
[The reporter of the script station reported that at the recent meeting of central bank governors and finance ministers of many countries held in the town of Beth, Schlesinger, president of the German central bank, said that Germany currently has no plans to raise interest rates]
"Waleed, the dinner is about to be served."
Lu Qing pointed at the TV and smiled at Waleed, who was still a little dazed.
"Ok?"
Waleed lifted his spirits and looked at the TV.
But after watching for a while, I felt dizzy in my brain: "Chen, can you translate for me, what do they mean by raising interest rates?"
Lu Qing shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know how this kind of person could give him 30 billion US dollars, and said: "At present, Europe implements an exchange rate mechanism called ERM. Simply put, under this mechanism, the currencies of European countries All exchange rates are anchored to the Deutsche mark and are only allowed to fluctuate within 6% of it.”
"Isn't that good? The floating range of the exchange rate is determined, which is more conducive to economic flow."
Walid obviously didn't understand anything, and asked strangely.
As we all know, if the exchange rate fluctuates too much, it will be extremely unfavorable to economic operation, because there are too many uncertainties.
With the floating interest rate mechanism of ERM, the stability of currency can be guaranteed, which greatly improves the stability of economic operation.
"Yes, this mechanism is very good, but it's not going to be smooth sailing if it can't support the development of the world."
Lu Qing said: "The Berlin Wall fell overnight in the past two years, which made West Germany suddenly have a large area of land and tens of millions of people. The economic pressure suddenly came up, inflation took off, and the deficit soared. Therefore, the Bundesbank chose to raise interest rates to curb inflation, but Here comes the problem, the economies of other European countries are not doing very well at this time, especially the UK, they are all cutting interest rates..."
Hearing this, Walid finally understood something:
"So, if Germany expresses no plans to raise interest rates in this European Central Bank meeting, it means that this exchange rate mechanism can continue to operate."
"Correct."
A schadenfreude sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Qing's mouth: "But in fact, it is absolutely impossible for Germany to sacrifice its own country's economic development for the sake of the stability of the exchange rates of other European countries."
As the saying goes, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. Schlesinger is the president of the Bundesbank, not the president of the European Central Bank. It makes no sense to care about others and ignore himself.
"Wait, Walid, everything is in these two days!"
Lu Qing was lying on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed, while silently using the system to calculate his next actions.
Seeing Lu Qing's inscrutable image, Walid didn't know what to do.
……
three days later.
9 month 8 day.
Tuesday.
sunny.
European central bankers continue to meet in Basel.
After the meeting, Schlesinger accepted an interview with reporters. However, during the interview, he publicly stated that he could not guarantee the future trend of interest rates, and he did not have much confidence in the fixed exchange rates of European currencies. He also singled out Italy lira.
As soon as the news came out, Europe was shocked.
"Chen! Is the opportunity here?"
When Waleed saw the news on TV, he was immediately excited: "Schlesinger said that the Italian lira is going to end!"
"Yes, the Italian lira is going to end... It's just that, before the lira, there are some small countries that will fall earlier."
At this moment, Lu Qing's eyes were also flickering with a cold light.
Hunt time!
"Other small countries?"
Walid was taken aback.
Lu Qing didn't explain, but just started making phone calls continuously, ordering traders to start selling currencies of various countries.
Shorting officially begins!
then,
Walid saw that a large number of empty orders of the Finnish mark suddenly appeared in the international market, and its exchange rate suddenly took a big dive, falling by 5% against the German mark in an instant!
Moreover, judging from the situation, it will continue to fall, and there is no sign of stopping.
at the same time,
Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg...
All the countries that have joined the ERM, except for the rare one in France, the currencies of other countries have all ushered in a wave of depreciation!
Until the evening of that day, Walid was pleasantly surprised to see that the Spanish peseta depreciated by 5.3%, and the Finnish currency directly depreciated by 15%, so he had to announce his withdrawal from ERM.
"Chen! We won! We won!"
Seeing that Finland was beaten by his own short-selling army and directly exited ERM, Walid blushed excitedly and danced in the room.
"Walid, calm down, this is just a dessert before the meal."
Lu Qing was also very happy in his heart, but he was still able to keep calm.
"How can I calm down, we are facing Europe this time!"
Waleed yelled.
"Then when you hit England in two days, you can't pass out happily?"
Lu Qing smiled.
……
In fact, Lu Qing still thinks highly of Waleed——
Before he officially started a war with the Bank of England, when he directly sold 50 billion US dollars to short the Italian lira the next day, Waleed collapsed on the sofa because he was too excited.
Fortunately, as a Saudi prince, Waleed brought his own medical team with him when he traveled, and a doctor came to treat him immediately, so nothing serious happened.
And the first thing he said after waking up was to ask Lu Qing: "Chen, tell me, how much money have we made?"
"This……"
Lu Qing looked at the voice next to Walid, and said, "Don't worry, let me tell you after you feel better."
"No!"
Walid grabbed Lu Qing's hand and said eagerly: "You tell me now, or I won't even be able to fall asleep!"
"Alright alright."
Lu Qing held out a finger to him: "We have earned so much."
"One hundred million dollars? Yes, yes..."
As soon as he said something, Lu Qing shook his head at him: "Huh? It's not [-] million, so... Could it be ten... Ten..."
Waleed's eyes widened and his voice faltered.
"Yes, a billion dollars... Waleed! Waleed! Are you all right?"
But after he said the number, Walid fainted again.
"No, how can you say that you are a dignified Saudi prince, why can't you even accept a billion-dollar profit?"
Seeing Waleed fainted again, Lu Qing couldn't help scratching his head.
This is something he didn't understand.
Is Waleed rich?
Of course there is money.
Otherwise, he would not be able to live in that kind of luxurious manor and gamble with such a large stake.
but,
The 30 billion dollars he took out this time was not his!
Because a large part of his assets have been converted into various investment products, he doesn't have much cash in hand.
The 30 billion US dollars this time is the royal family's public funds that he secretly withdrawn!
in other words,
If he wins the short sale this time, he will be like a white wolf with empty hands, and he will get hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing.
Of course, if he loses, he will also be held accountable by the royal family.
It is precisely because of this that under the tremendous pressure of being in prison, when he learned that just one Italian lira had made a profit of one billion US dollars, he was so excited that he passed out directly.
……
the next day.
Waleed woke up from the hospital and brought the nurse and accompanying doctor back to Lu Qing's side.
"No, Waleed, are you?"
Looking at Waleed who was still wearing a hospital gown, Lu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Besides, why did your doctor allow you to come out?"
"They would have strongly disagreed, saying it was not in line with their professional ethics, but..."
Waleed rubbed his fingers: "I bought out their tenure."
"..."
I knew it.
"Leave me alone, tell me quickly, how is the situation now?"
Waleed asked excitedly: "Another billion dollars?"
"You think I'm a money printing machine, earning billions every day?"
Lu Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"How much did you earn?"
Walid was a little disappointed.
Lu Qing calculated in his mind and said, "9.2 million."
Walid: "..."
