The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 61 Borrowing hype

  In fact, many institutions are aware of the false prosperity and irrationality of the RB market, but they don’t know when the RB market will turn, so they are all waiting and watching, hoping that the market will give a reminder as soon as possible.

In this case, some short-selling tools for the RB market are very popular, especially the stock index put options launched by Stanley and Goodman. These options are sold all over the world, and then more American investment banks have joined in, and the bearish power of the RB market has gradually increased, and more and more capital has poured in.

  This kind of investment product that is not listed on the exchange is essentially a gambling agreement. According to the future market trend, the two parties will play a game on this, and finally pay the corresponding amount of capital through the content of the contract.

For RB's insurance industry, they need new investment products to hedge risks. For the country's major investment banks, designing these products can allow them to greatly increase sales revenue. This seems to be a win-win situation, but it is actually based on a fragile On the basis of this, it means that the fluctuation of the target is within a controllable range. In other words, the volatility of the RB capital market should not be too severe.

RB, this country, because it was a defeated country in World War II, was taken over for a period of time after the war. Later, the constitution was rebuilt, and the Communist Party was firmly contained. Even the country's later military was limited to only In such a role that can protect the homeland, it is often in a disadvantageous position in the game of international politics.

  Many island nations have a strange mentality that is obviously different from that of mainland nations. For example, South Korea in later generations obviously has a distinctive feature of both arrogance and inferiority. In the country of RB, there is also an obvious duality in culture. They love beauty but are aggressive, polite and aggressive, like the new but conservative, obedient but not tame. A scholar in the United States vividly compared this national character to " Chrysanthemum and the Sword".

This kind of personality is also clearly reflected in national policies. Whenever RB feels superior in Asia, he will actively "leave Asia and enter Europe". Big Brother attitude to "educate" certain emerging Asian countries and regions.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was the time when RB's economy was booming and its self-confidence was unprecedentedly inflated. For a while, even the United States felt that RB had seriously threatened its world dominance. In the American academic and business circles, this kind of The trend of thought is very common and directly affects the formulation of the foreign policy of the US government.

Beginning with the Plaza Accord in 1985, some established capitalist countries in Europe and the United States have continued to set up obstacles for the newly emerging emerging powers, such as forcing the appreciation of currencies such as the yen and the mark, and simultaneously adjusting the international policies of the United States, Japan, and Germany by coordinating international policies. Interest rates, a new resolution in the BIS to limit RB superbanks with international operations.

Regarding these situations, RB’s Ministry of Finance is well aware, but all this stems from RB’s poor political status and a series of emergency measures they have committed before. They can only give a few words, but not many people are willing to listened. In the past, for the sake of the U.S. national debt, the Ministry of Finance usually mentioned a few words when calling large institutions. This is a typical administrative hint. RB companies and institutions can only pinch their noses under this kind of administrative intervention. To buy U.S. treasury bonds, even in the U.S. general election, in order to maintain the dollar, RB’s business circles were forced to say that they would not sell U.S. debt even after the general election was over. Therefore, the public opinion in the United States jokingly called “MOF (RB Ministry of Finance) is Bush’s campaign purse".

Now, under the induction of multiple factors such as low interest rates and the appreciation of the yen, the RB market has begun to grow rapidly for several years, especially the stock market and real estate. The mutual growth of the two has also played a role in promoting, gradually A huge bubble formed.

Not everyone can see this bubble clearly, especially some entrepreneurs of RB, who even think that RB's stock market has a special energy that distinguishes it from most markets in the world, but they forget that the game's The rules are initially set by Westerners, and there is no Bushido spirit in the capital market.

Most investors with a keen sense of smell are aware of the risks in the RB stock market, and some people have tried to short in the opposite direction, but the momentum of the stock market's rise is too strong, and the entire RB is immersed in a huge wealth myth bubble. In the era when all people make money, no one thinks about what will happen tomorrow.

   Those who advocate capital bubbles are not welcome, and even they themselves are writing sensational forecasts while sending their pensions to the stock market.

  But Zhong Shi knew that all of this was illusory, and he even knew the exact date of the outbreak.

   The consequence of all this is that RB's overall economy has stagnated for ten years. When the bubble burst, countless companies went bankrupt, banks were restructured, wage earners were unemployed, and real estate collapsed. RB suddenly lost the strength to compete with the United States.

  Later, the RB people learned from the pain and wrote a lot of reflective articles and books, one of which had a wide influence. The author linked the bursting of the bubble with World War II and called it "financial defeat."

  …………

   While many international financiers were conspiring, Zhong Shi, Liao Chengde and others also fell into a huge trouble. There were traces of gunfire at the scene where they were kidnapped, and according to the research report provided by the police, the guns are of the kind that are extremely powerful and strictly prohibited from being exported, and even the British garrison in Hong Kong has few of them.

  This question is a bit troublesome.

  It was originally a simple kidnapping case. The kidnappers failed, and a person died inexplicably.

  The case was immediately transferred from the team responsible for kidnapping cases to Office O, and finally a deputy police chief was alarmed.

There are also many departments within the police in Hong Kong. Some police officers need to wear uniforms, such as the Mobile Force, the Stormtrooper, and the Flying Tigers. O Kee et al.

  Before Land Rover called the police, Liao Chengde ordered a few people not to say anything when they entered the police station. They had to wait until the lawyer came. Only professionals could give a statement.

  Liao Chengde's family has cooperated with a well-known law firm in Hong Kong all the year round, so they are naturally familiar with these things. As for the kidnappers, basically no one cares about them.

Liao Xiaohua, who had been in a coma for most of the night, was sent to the hospital, and Zhong Yi, who was obviously mentally disturbed, was also sent there by the same road. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to accept such a stimulus in a short time, and Zhong Yi might return in the future. See a psychiatrist.

  In a slightly shabby confession room, accompanied by a lawyer, Zhong Shi gave a rough account of what happened. Of course, these are all after the lawyer pointed out. In fact, there is nothing to hide. Even if you tell what you have seen and heard, those mercenaries and the people they bring are already hundreds of thousands of miles away from Hong Kong.

  Finally, under the intervention of some powerful figures in the Hong Kong government, this sniping matter was settled. The big shots naturally know what's going on. This matter involves a silent tacit understanding between some big countries. If one party leaks it to the outside world, the other party will definitely not admit it.

  For negotiations at this level, even the Hong Kong Police Commissioner can only choose to execute orders.

Due to the importance of this matter, the media did not get much information. The last information obtained from the police was that some members of the community planned a kidnapping case and kidnapped a Hong Kong businessman surnamed Liao, his family and friends for about 10 hours. Under the investigation of the police, the kidnapping case was successfully cracked. During the process, one kidnapper was shot dead by the police. Two of the hostages were frightened and sent to the hospital for treatment. The other hostages were rescued safely.

Although there were only a few words, the gossip reporters still dug out Liao Chengde and Liao Xiaohua. For a while, there were even a few reporters standing in front of the hospital where Liao Xiaohua was staying. For a while, those gossip stories about Liao Xiaohua were brought out again. It's been re-hyped.

   During the whole incident, the reporters completely ignored the protagonist, and Zhong Yi also quietly returned to his residence in Repulse Bay, where he will receive counseling from a private psychiatrist while avoiding the limelight.

As for Zhong Shi, after setting aside some cash, he returned to the mainland quietly. It is not the time for a decisive battle, and he does not need to stay here. The matter of taking over the building can only be entrusted to the agent. It's not easy to show your face.

  At noon on the third day after Liao Xiaohua was admitted to the hospital, a large number of reporters rushed to the entrance of the hospital. This scale shocked the people in the hospital.

When the unrelated people were still wondering, they saw a very ordinary taxi coming. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the hospital rushed up and squeezed the car door tightly. The spotlights came on one after another. After a while, the taxi showed a pretty face that was both angry and happy.

   "It's Miss Liu!"

  "Movie star Ms. Liu Meiling, why did she come here? Didn't it mean that she was dating a certain niche from TVB?"

   "I don't know yet, I must have caught up with the rich man!"

  …

  Reporters are the most gossip, and they are also people with a clear mind. They can figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing in an instant. Many people are thinking in their hearts that tomorrow's front page seems to be impossible to escape.

   "Friends from the press, I'm really sorry. Today I'm here to visit a good friend. If you have any questions, please ask me after I finish my visit. Thank you for your cooperation."

  Wearing big sunglasses, Ms. Liu opened her mouth slightly, and exhaled a scent, which made the male reporters salivate and hurriedly moved out of the way.

  Farewelled by everyone, Ms. Liu Meiling calmly walked into the inpatient department of the hospital.

"This actor is making use of other people's fame to make hype, but unexpectedly he used it on me!" In the ward on the fifth floor, Liao Xiaohua clearly saw this scene through the glass, and suddenly became furious. He was originally an actor. He didn't expect that the role of the victim could be used just like this. He wouldn't naively think that this female star really came to visit him.

Seeing Liu Meiling enter the hospital, Liao Xiaohua threw himself heavily on the bed, thinking viciously: "Sooner or later, I will find someone to give her a turn!" Thank you again for your strong support! The author will continue to work hard and hope to gain the support of more book friends!)
