The Era of Emerald

"By the way, Manager Moji, please wait a moment. The price of 900 million is based on the US dollar as the basic currency unit. I hope that when the final payment is made, the transaction will be made in lira. According to the current exchange rate, 900 million US dollars Should it be 95.85 billion lire?"

Zhuang Mingge, who paid two main substitute players plus a transfer fee of 900 million US dollars to get the deal, has no good feelings for this cunning old fox Mo.Zhuang Mingge, who felt that he didn't get much "cheap" in this transfer, had an idea, and threw out his last opinion, which seemed innocuous: Today, I will write this additional clause in black and white with you, old fox. Next summer, I'll see if you, an old fox, will be dumbfounded.

"Trading in lira? No problem!" In Moji's view, Zhuang Mingge's proposal to change the payment currency was superfluous, and Mo Laohu, who thought that he had basically achieved the goal of the negotiation, happily made the last point without thinking too much. A small concession, such an additional clause was added to the two agreements.

After signing the agreement with Mo Laohu, Zhuang Mingge quickly fled Turin: What are you kidding, if he has not left after the news is released, then he is very likely to be stabbed by angry Juventus fans grilled...

……

The next morning, Roberto Baggio did not show up at Juventus' training ground, but was called into his office by general manager Moggi, saying he wanted to "have a heart-to-heart talk" with Baggio.

An hour later, Baggio left Moggi's office with a complicated expression on his face.

Since the beginning of this season, Baggio's status in the team has been declining. From being an indispensable core player of the team last season, he now has to rotate with a young man under the age of 20.

Baggio, who believes in Buddhism, is very open to these changes. After all, his state this season is not good. Years of fighting on the field have left his legs scarred, and the young man named Del Piero has a good football Talent, with time, will become a great weapon.

Therefore, if Lippi can communicate with him well, Baggio will also agree to play in rotation with Piero. After all, his physical condition is here, and continuous combat like before is already out of reach.

But Lippi didn't talk to him about any questions about playing, so he was removed from the starting list.

Baggio knew very well that he, who was once the star of the Juventus club, would sooner or later be sold to other teams by the club's executives due to the appearance of Del Piero and the arrival of Lippi.

But what Baggio didn't expect was that after the end of this season, he would return to the team he used to play for, Fiorentina.

In this regard, Baggio was happy but at the same time worried: he was happy that he could return to a familiar place, the enthusiasm of the Fiorentina fans was still fresh in his memory, and he heard that the new president of Fiorentina was not like the previous one. Cerigori is so overjoyed and forgetful of righteousness, if he returns to Florence, he should have a good development; the worry is, does the current Florence team still have his own position?

Yesterday's game made Baggio feel that the current Fiorentina has the potential not inferior to any top team. As the main striker combination, Batistuta and Inzaghi are in a stable position. A Montella (Student Vieri was gorgeously ignored...), if he went to Florence, what status would he be in the team?

Anyway, it will not be the core of the team, Baggio is very sure of this.

At the same time, on the training ground in Florence, Vieri, who was asking Batistuta to bring one of his own when training Pirlo, suddenly felt desolate.

"I always feel that my sense of existence seems too low..."

……

After Zhuang Mingge left Turin, he did not return to Florence, but took a flight directly to the futures trading market in Switzerland.

"Karin, Rebecca, how's the situation?" Zhuang Mingge, who had just got off the plane, immediately took a taxi to the futures market, and found the two strong women who were in charge here.

"Antonio, you came just in time. Everything is ready now, just waiting for the 'rii' you mentioned to arrive." Rebecca looked at Zhuang Mingge with a smile, and added, "I also invested 2000 million dollars in it. ~"

"Huh?! Rebecca, where did you get so much pocket money?!"

"I invested all the money I earned from the World Cup!" Little Groz said with a bright smile on his face, "I trust Antonio very much in your vision."

"Haha, yes, yes..." Zhuang Mingge gave a dry laugh, and turned to look at the exchange rate of lira to US dollar displayed on the screen. The figure on it was still very stable.

Three days later, the situation that the lira exchange rate has been at the highest point for several months has finally changed. However, to the distress of the majority of speculators, the lira, which has been rising continuously in recent years, has not continued to climb as they expected , but crashed violently!

In August of this year, the exchange rate of the lira to the US dollar reached its highest point at 8:1065, and until the time of the transaction between Zhuang Mingge and Moji, the exchange rate still did not fluctuate greatly.

However, just now, the Italian lira's exchange rate against the US dollar began to show signs of collapse.

Zhuang Mingge was waiting for this moment!

In his previous life, he knew about many financial events, and the sharp depreciation of the Italian lira led by Soros' Quantum Fund was one of them.

Although I said that as long as I short the lira in advance, I will definitely make a steady profit, but since I want to run a football club, it is better to have as much money as possible...

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge invested a huge sum of US$5000 million in the futures market this time!

By the time the foreign exchange settlement center closed, the lira had depreciated to 1665:1 against the dollar, which meant that Italians would have to spend about 1 lire extra for 600 dollar.

And Zhuang Mingge took advantage of the opportunity of Soros' financial tycoon to attack the Italian lira, and made a fortune in the futures market. After deducting various related expenses, Groz's subordinates quickly reported the profit Up: Minge Chong netted $2000 million.

"Antonio, can we go celebrate now?" Little Groz said excitedly, and she also gained a lot from this speculation.

"Don't be so eager to celebrate, next, we have to invest in another currency."

"Which country is it from?" Little Groz asked excitedly.

"Mexican pesos."

……

In the middle of the night on December 1994, 12, the Mexican government suddenly announced that the national currency, the peso, would depreciate by 19%.This decision caused great panic in the market.Foreign investors sold pesos frantically and snapped up dollars, causing the peso's exchange rate to fall sharply.

12月20ri，汇率从最初的3。47比索兑换l美元跌至3.925比索兑换1美元，狂跌13%。21ri，再跌15。3%。

With the depreciation of the peso, foreign investors withdrew a large number of funds, and Mexico's foreign exchange reserves dropped by nearly US$20 billion in two days from 21ri to 40ri, and the entire Mexican financial market was in chaos.From 20ri to 22ri, in just three days, the exchange rate of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar plummeted by 42.17%, which is extremely rare in modern financial history.

Taking advantage of the crazy depreciation of the Italian lira and Mexican peso, Zhuang Mingge made a fortune. After celebrating with Karin and Groz Jr., he returned to Florence with the joy of victory. Interesting Yes, in his office, there is a "victim" of the depreciation of the lira waiting for him. The one who lost nearly 300 million US dollars in vain because of the wrong choice of the type of transaction currency in Baggio's transfer Moji, when we met, he had a sad face:

"Antonio, you have done me a disservice this time!"

ps1: Regarding the question raised by someone in the book review section, we can only say that if Moggi did not have the support of the Agnelli family behind him, he would not be able to make much trouble at all. After all, the surname Agnelli has a very special status in Italy of;

ps2: As for Baggio, who was only 94 years old in 27, was a balloon star?If you really think so, then we can only hehe...
