Rebirth of the Wild Age

There are many experts discussing the "Iraq crisis" this month, and they can be seen on TV, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.

The mainstream view is that the United States wants to control oil and maintain its hegemony in the Middle East. In addition, there are all kinds of strange remarks about whether Bush Sr. and Uncle Sa have an antagonism or Bush Jr. will avenge his father after taking office. It is nothing short of ridicule.

Of course, there are also some domestic economists who say that the United States launched the war to maintain the hegemony of the dollar, but this voice has not attracted the attention of the general public.

Song Weiyang wrote smoothly and needed data, so he suddenly called Shen Si: "Send me the financial data of Europe and America for the past two years, especially about the Euro and the U.S. dollar."

Shen Si has just finished the Lantern Festival in his hometown, and is packing up his luggage, preparing to fly back to work tomorrow. After receiving Song Weiyang's call, she immediately took out the Shenzhou mobile hard drive from the suitcase, connected to the computer to search for a while, and sent the relevant official public data all over the place.

Shen Si carries several mobile hard drives with him anytime and anywhere, all of which are the information collected for Song Weiyang and the encrypted files of its various companies. Of course, these are all backup content, and they are not absolutely confidential. The files that really need to be kept secret are all in the company's unplugged computer, and the paper files are locked in the safe.

As for the financial information in Europe and the United States, there is no need to go abroad to collect it. There are some domestic institutions that are studying it. Taurus Capital has sponsored economic research institutes in Hong Kong and the mainland, and receives a lot of research reports every year. Although there are few really valuable reports, there are many kinds of data.

In fact, when the Iraqi problem was getting worse, Taurus Capital’s securities department had already started placing a small number of orders. After the United States expressed its attitude at the United Nations, Taurus Capital invested a large amount of money to speculate in US dollar foreign exchange futures and oil futures. Many financial institutions planned to do so, but under Song Weiyang’s instigation, Taurus Capital moved faster and more resolutely. .

After Song Weiyang received the information, he continued to write:

“Since October 2000, Iraq’s crude oil exports to the United States have only been charged in euros. Immediately, Iran said that it would reduce the dollar price of oil, Saudi Arabia withdrew 200 billion US dollars of funds from U.S. banks, and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries hinted that'to remove oil currency from The possibility of the conversion of the U.S. dollar to the Euro's. The above-mentioned factors have caused a large amount of international capital to flow out of the United States and turn to Europe. The exchange rate of the euro has risen rapidly..."

"In 2002, the foreign investment received by U.S. securities fell by only 560 billion U.S. dollars from the 97800 billion U.S. dollars two years ago, and the inflow of foreign direct investment decreased from 308 billion U.S. dollars to 14 billion U.S. dollars. According to the statistics of the investor trust associations of EU countries, 2002 The total amount of foreign stocks and bonds sold each year was 4.9 billion euros, a historical record, of which 60% of stocks and 70% of bonds were US assets. In other words, European investors are selling US securities frantically, and all sources are Iraq Abandoning U.S. dollar oil settlement, the U.S. dollar's exchange rate against the euro plummeted 22% last year..."

"If this continues, the euro's international influence will increase year by year, and even replace the U.S. dollar in important areas in some areas, such as: international crude oil settlement!"

Song Weiyang also popularized the importance of the US dollar, and the United States relies on printing money to **** blood around the world. After writing this, he went to sleep in the afternoon. He is not afraid to anger the United States, because domestic scholars have already said that Song Weiyang uses public data. There is even more noise in Europe. I do not know how many EU scholars are exposing that the EU governments are secretly supporting the anti-war movement because they also want to promote the euro.

The United States is attacking Iraq on the surface, but in fact it is attacking the euro. Even if this war will cost trillions of dollars in military expenditure, the United States will still go to war desperately. It is impossible to fight for the dollar!

Song Weiyang slept soundly in the afternoon, and his blog became lively. The number of page views of this blog post exceeded 100,000 in less than an hour. After that, netizens copied and pasted all kinds of things, and they were forwarded to the entire network within half a day. Even some physical newspaper editors copied the articles and planned to reprint them.

"Dr. Ma is still awesome. Now TV is talking about oil, and no one mentions the dollar."

"Awesome, Mr. Song said so, then you can fully understand the reasons why the United States hit Iraq. It happened that I graduated with a master's degree this year, and now I change the direction of my thesis to write a post-war analysis of the world economy."

"Don’t talk nonsense on the first floor, read more economic publications, you know that experts have raised the issue of the US dollar. Friends who want to speculate in foreign exchange futures can now buy US dollars. The exchange rate of US dollars to euros has plummeted nearly in the past two years. 30%, the battle will surely rise as soon as the battle begins."

"How did Lao Song's data come from? It looks so professional."

"As expected to be the richest man in China, he has a broad vision. Other bosses are still looking at the country, and Boss Song has already looked at the world."

"It makes sense for people to get rich, and most people can't learn it."

"The U.S. is really disgusting. If its own economy fails, it will print money so that people all over the world will pay for the U.S.. What kind of big killer it is, it turns out that Iraq does not charge U.S. dollars when it sells oil."

"Hehe, what can't the U.S. do? Don't forget, we bombed our embassy and hit our plane a few years ago!"

"To support Boss Song, we must expose the truth."

"Boss Song's blog must be read every day, every article is the essence, but it's a pity that Boss Song wrote too few articles."

"Don't flatter the person in front. Song Weiyang's last blog post is the essence of a fart. There are only a few sentences in total, saying that he was hacked to death several times in "Legend". I can write 100 articles a day like this. ."

"There are so many flatters here, no matter how comfortable you lick Song Weiyang, people won't divide you a few cents."

"..."

This blog post attracted online attention at this time, and more of it originated from Song Weiyang's status as the richest man. Because although the Iraq issue is raging, there is no real war for the time being, maybe it was mediated by the United Nations?

It was not until a month later that the war broke out and the whole people were immediately concerned.

All Chinese media are reporting, and even local newspapers such as the "Jinling Morning Post" have snatched an "exclusive news" in the hands of major official media. Newspapers in the Jinling area sent two "war reporters". They dared not go directly to Iraq, so they went to neighboring countries to interview and write a series of news on the periphery of the war.

As for the official media, there are several special pages for one report, and CCTV reports around the clock, and many experts have been invited for analysis and discussion. After the war broke out, the ratings of CCTV 1 and 4 increased by 400% and 500%, respectively. The ratings of international news were 36% higher than that of CCTV's prime time period. This was completely unexpected.

It also shows how much people are paying attention to this war.

Song Weiyang's article was in line with the tone, so some experts who were too lazy to check the information on their own, cited various data and opinions. Some quoted and mentioned Song Weiyang's name, and some simply didn't mention it. Anyway, Song Weiyang used internationally public data.

The "dollar theory" quickly overwhelmed the "oil theory" and became the mainstream view of the domestic media in analyzing the U.S.-Iraq war. To a large extent, it was brought up by Song Weiyang's blog post. Of course, countless experts and scholars have also helped Song Weiyang disperse the firepower, so that Lao Mei will not target Song Weiyang alone.

Major portal websites, including Sogou blogs, took the opportunity to invite scholars to open columns.

Those websites have also made war topics. After clicking into the special report, Song Weiyang's blog will always be ranked the most prominent position in the current review section. As a result, many netizens now call Song Weiyang a different name, and they all call him "Mr. Song".

A simple change in appellation means that netizens have changed their perception of Song Weiyang, and everyone no longer regards him as a pure businessman.

In the foreign exchange futures market, the guys who planned to speculate on the rise in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro quickly lost all their underwear.

In the first week of the war, as countless speculators were optimistic about the United States and the U.S. dollar, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro rose by 2.3%. But in the second week, everyone felt that the war might not go smoothly~www.readwn.com~ The exchange rate of the dollar (to the euro) fell by 1.47%. In the third week of the war, the U.S. military advanced near Baghdad, and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar rose by 1.06%.

This situation has stimulated many investment institutions and continued to spend a lot of money to buy the appreciation of the U.S. dollar. They believe that the U.S. dollar will continue to rise.

As a result, in the fourth week, the victory of the U.S. military was imminent, and the uncertainties of the war subsided. Everyone began to pay attention to the huge cost of reconstruction in Iraq, as well as the United States’ natural deficit due to the war. The exchange rate of the US dollar began to fall slightly. Then there was a continuous decline throughout the year, because the U.S. economy was very sluggish. Morgan Stanley's chief economist even predicted that in the next few years, the U.S. dollar will depreciate by 15% due to trade factors.

Song Weiyang may not be clear about anything else, but he was in business in his previous life. He knew that since Iraq announced the use of euros for oil settlement, even if the United States won the war, the depreciation of the dollar would not stop the car. Central banks in many countries have reduced their US dollar foreign exchange reserves and increased their euro reserves. Certain commodity transactions have also begun to use euros for settlement (this phenomenon has not been stopped by the war, but has increased year by year). For the United States, Uncle Sa opened It's not a pity that a very bad head will die without a thousand cuts.

Taurus Capital and some investment institutions with super analytical and predictive capabilities have made a lot of money by placing short orders on the US dollar exchange rate.

And countless investment institutions that predict the appreciation of the U.S. dollar can't cry. Including the netizen who fooled others to speculate the U.S. dollar under Song Weiyang's blog, he couldn't figure out why the U.S. dollar kept falling because of the clean winning of wars? Previously, the U.S. dollar continued to appreciate for a full ten years. It stands to reason that as long as the disobedient Iraq is killed, the U.S. dollar will re-enter the appreciation period!

The stock market is risky, and investment needs to be cautious, as is the futures market. u
