Island Tycoon

Chapter 588 Action Begins

"I will give up 30% of Quantum Fund's shares at most, and I will also participate in the core of this plan." Soros replied after thinking about it.

"As you wish." Ye Jingcheng tilted his neck.

Next, the two started a round of tug-of-war over the price of the acquisition.In the end, Ye Jingcheng successfully acquired 500% of the shares of Quantum Fund for 30 million US dollars and became the second shareholder of the company.

At the same time, Soros also learned about the plan for the English stock market from Ye Jingcheng.Especially knowing that Buffett has joined this plan, his performance is as unbelievable as an ordinary entrepreneur who is lucky enough to meet the richest man.

How small he is now, and how high Buffett is.The fact that the two of them still have the opportunity to work together is enough to prove that this project is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

……

Two days later.

Buffett received the news of Ye Jingcheng's arrival. After a short meeting, the two brought their respective teams to the largest stock exchange in the United States, the NYSE with a global market value of 15 trillion US dollars in later generations.

At this time, everyone stood in the hall.Behind Ye Jingcheng, in addition to the team brought from Hong Kong Island, Soros and Paulson stood on the left and right respectively, both of whom signed short-term employment and employment contracts.

Buffett looked at the entire venue and asked, "Ye, what do you think of this as a battlefield?"

"Very good." Ye Jingcheng said lightly.

Ye Jingcheng's first impression of the New York Stock Exchange was that it was no different from the stock exchanges of later generations, except that the computers and other electronic equipment were slightly outdated.

It is also verified from Buffett that the exchange has introduced the most advanced equipment, and now all calculations can be completed through computers, and there is no need for manpower to maintain the overall situation as before.

Buffett has been observing Ye Jingcheng's reaction, but he didn't expect him to be surprised by it. You must know that using computers instead of manpower to operate the securities market is his pride in the country's technology as an American.

Places like Hong Kong Island cannot be introduced even in a few years.Ye Jingcheng was able to remain indifferent. Could it be that he already knew something beforehand?Or did he react like this because he didn't understand?
Who knows that Ye Jingcheng, who has experienced technology decades later, could be surprised by the cumbersome computer groups in front of him.

But it made him think another way, even if the exchange is fully operated by computers, will all the loopholes be exploited?Or are there still external forces that can intervene?

"After I go back, find me some people who are familiar with computers, preferably self-taught computer prodigy." Ye Jingcheng whispered to Paulson.

As a newcomer to Paulson, Ye Jingcheng gave him a position as an administrative assistant.

"I know." Paulson nodded in understanding, and had no other thoughts about it, he simply thought that Ye Jingcheng wanted to be familiar with this kind of operation.

After the group observed the environment of the exchange, the next step was to discuss specific countermeasures and how to use their advantages to increase their bargaining chips for attacking the English stock market this time.

In the office, Ye Jingcheng and Buffett started a round of conversation.

"Actually, the English government is not as unbreakable as imagined. As long as we make good use of the timing and cut the opening, it is not a problem to bite off a large piece of its meat." Ye Jingcheng took the lead in speaking after understanding the current situation of Yingjili.

"The question now is, what should we use as an entry point, specifically from their country's situation, exchange rate, currency or which aspect." Buffett mentioned.

Ye Jingcheng shifted his target to Soros and asked, "George, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I think the exchange rate of the British pound is fixed at a relatively high level. If there is a way to shake it slightly, we may make a fuss through this way." live excited.

Ye Jingcheng and Buffett teamed up to attack the English stock market. As long as he played a part in it, it would be enough to make him famous, so he must seize this opportunity.

To this end, he used two days to continuously collect information, trying to understand the current situation in England as clearly as possible.

"Be specific." This suggestion first caught Buffett's attention.

"A rise in currency means a fall in stock prices; a cut in interest rates means an increase in bond prices. In the past two days, I have investigated in detail. England joined the European Community in 1973. France tried to limit supranational power and refused to allow England to become a member state. This series The measures have led to a gradual resurgence of domestic tensions in England."

Soros stood up and explained to everyone through the image of the projector: "The two biggest problems for England at the moment are, first, in order to consolidate its international status, it must maintain high interest rates so that the exchange rate will not weaken. The second problem is from domestic Production considerations, it must lower interest rates to stimulate investment and consumption."

After speaking, Soros glanced at Ye Jingcheng, who expressed his support and said, "Continue talking."

"I believe that everyone here should understand the situation of East and West Germany to some extent. Their currency, the Mark, is also facing two problems. First, Europe requires them to lower the interest rate of the Mark, so as to stimulate the entire economy and deal with recession and other problems. But with them Looking at the domestic situation, Mark must maintain a high interest rate in order to curb inflation that may occur at any time."

"Suppose that the English pound collided with the East and West German marks..." Soros made a corresponding action.

And Ye Jingcheng and Buffett fully understand that once this happens to the weak economy of England, the official will continue to maintain the strength of the pound, which is purely a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

It is impossible for East and West Germany to cut interest rates at the expense of their respective interests for the sake of the European Community.The high interest rate in England can never be maintained, which will inevitably lead to the depreciation of the pound.

The suggestion Soros gave was that they could take advantage of this and force the British officials to pay for their own face-saving projects.

Soros's idea is good, and the overall direction is also correct.The only problem that needs to be solved now is how to guide this currency collision.

"Ye, do you have a solution?" Seeing Ye Jingcheng thinking, Buffett couldn't help asking.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head. The chess pieces he had buried in East Germany had been buried for several years, and the secret development was indeed very rapid.However, it is still very difficult to achieve the effect of affecting the economies of the two countries.

It would be easy to just create a superficial illusion, so he expressed his thoughts, and everyone in the meeting room fell into a short thought.

"Even if it's just an illusion, we still have a good chance." Soros said back to God.

Soon he gave a general plan. If he just created a superficial illusion, then he couldn't start from one side.

First of all, it is necessary to create a public opinion that can affect the situation. This is very suitable for Buffett's influence on Wall Street. He can even drive more speculators to cooperate.

Secondly, there must be a region that can verify this public opinion, in order to make the incident true.

Then, a professional team is needed to provoke the shock of the English stock market, causing more investors to follow blindly.

Such a three-pronged approach can also achieve the desired effect.However, this plan is easy to say, but it is very complicated in action, and every link must be linked together, and no mistakes are allowed.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng and Buffett will judge the feasibility of the plan.The first point is for Buffett to be responsible for disseminating the news, and the second point is for everyone to show their talents and try to mess up the situation in various countries.

In addition, Jiang Xiaoyong also played a role. Although the situation in Dawan has little impact on Yingjili, Yingjili is now at a weak time, so even if the official sees a slight splash, they may put on a serious battle.

As for the third point, it was Ye Jingcheng and Buffett's original intention to attack the stock market. Their team was already ready to go, and they just used the four major families as an introduction to sink their London-listed stocks first.

After the preliminary formulation of the plan, a detailed charter is needed next, so the teams of both parties started to work, collecting information while completing the plan.

Among the few people still sitting in the conference room, Buffett looked at Soros with disapproval, no longer as disapproving as at the beginning, and asked with admiring eyes: "George, I don't know what is your relationship with Ye?"

His question was obviously intended to attract the other party. After all, from what Soros said just now, he knew that he was a real person.

If Soros and Ye Jingcheng were not in the relationship between a boss and a subordinate, or if the relationship between the two was not so stable, he would definitely find a way to recruit him afterwards.

"Mr. Ye is my boss." Soros glanced at Ye Jingcheng and said with great interest.

"That's a pity." Buffett smiled at Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have much thought about this. Soros didn't agree to his solicitation in the first place. The relationship between the two employers and employees was only temporary, and he didn't need to mind that Buffett wanted to poach people.

Secondly, it's not that Buffett doesn't show face to Ye Jingcheng, but that's how foreigners behave.Even if you are the boss, you cannot prevent employees from developing better, everything is based on the choice of employees.

As for Soros' claim that Ye Jingcheng is his boss, it was nothing more than evading Buffett's invitation.With Soros' ability and ambition, he is destined not to choose to be someone else's employee again.

And Buffett, as an investor, is not the best employer for him.There is still a big difference between investment and speculation, and the other party may not be able to create much stage and opportunity for him.
