The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 693 Involved in the whirlpool

   "Only one bullet!"

   Seeing Roddick vomit violently, Zhong Shi also felt a tightness in his chest. He hurried to the window, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and barely suppressed the nausea, when he heard someone say.

Zhong Shi turned his head and found that Reina's body had been covered with a white cloth. An American soldier was skillfully inspecting the pistol. With just a move of his hand, the whole gun became a part. The chamber and magazines, the soldier came to such a conclusion.

   "He wants to die!"

  Phillips Solomon said expressionlessly, "If he didn't want to kill someone, I wouldn't have shot him. It's a pity."

   Following the direction of his finger, everyone's eyes were on Zhong Shi. Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, but he was very annoyed in his heart. If he hadn't troubled himself, maybe the whole thing wouldn't have turned into this.

  But it’s meaningless to say these after the fact. The most important thing is that people are fine.

When Robinson saw Zhong Shi, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. If something happened to Zhong Shi in the embassy, ​​the consequences would be far beyond what he could bear. The anger of the Chinese government. Fortunately, the whole thing was just a false alarm, he hurried up to Zhong Shi, and after looking it over carefully, he was completely relieved.

  As the Consul General of the United States in Hong Kong, Robinson is familiar with the local powerful background, so he naturally knows who he can't afford to offend. On this list, Zhong Shi's name is in the top five, if not the first in the business world.

   "Zhong Sheng, are you okay?"

   After confirming that Zhongshi was safe and sound, Robinson also had to make a statement, "I'm really sorry that this kind of thing happened and surprised you."

   "It's okay, it was just an accident!" Zhong Shi waved his hand, and pointed to Roddick, who was still retching, and said, "But please, Mr. Consul, change a room for the two of us."

   "No problem, no problem!"

  When Robinson heard that Zhong Shi characterized the matter as an "accident", he was naturally overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly, "I'll go and make arrangements for you, this time I will definitely guarantee absolute safety for you."

Fifteen minutes later, Zhong Shi and Roddick, who had regained his composure, sat in another office. The so-called "absolute security" meant that two American soldiers with live ammunition stood outside the door, staring at everyone passing by in the corridor. , as if facing a formidable enemy, Zhong Shi was speechless for a while.

   "You see, the terrible consequences have appeared!"

Roddick took a sip of water suddenly, panting heavily, his chest was still heaving violently, but he was able to speak normally, "This is just the beginning, we can't predict what will happen later. What you are doing now, The consequences are a thousand times more serious than what happened today, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by killing one person alone. I think you should be able to seriously think about it now, right?"

   "But I was really not instructed by anyone, or I have no background."

Zhong Shi smiled wryly, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Whether you believe it or not, I have to explain that this is indeed a move I guessed. From the beginning to the end, everything I did was normal investment behavior. I don't need to explain to anyone, but since you have misunderstood me and represent the official, so I make an exception to explain to you. If the people behind you still have doubts, you can investigate me through the SEC, or even ban I will have access to the U.S. market for life. But I can’t guarantee that I will not fight like I did just now.”

   "..."

  Roddick finally hesitated, and stared at Zhong Shi's face for a long time, his complexion fluctuated, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said slowly, "I can't make the decision about this matter. I need to ask the higher party for instructions. During this time, please wait a moment."

"As you wish!"

  Zhong Shi turned his head and looked at Phillips Solomon, who was still blocking the door like a door god, and couldn't help mocking, "Does it mean that I have other choices?"

   Roddick chose to remain silent about Zhong Shi's ridicule, and Phillips Solomon didn't even show a single expression change.

   "Boss, he said that it was his own investment decision without the approval of the Huaxia government!"

In another small room in this office, Roddick called Washington, "Also, just now there was a little accident, a staff member of the embassy..." Immediately afterwards, he explained what happened just now Repeated it exactly.

"How much do you think it is possible that this matter is only guessed by him, not the intention of the Huaxia government?" There was a silence in the microphone, and it took a long time for the voice to re-enter, "The timing is so good, could it really be a Hedge funds?"

   "I think there is an 80% chance that this guy did it himself."

Roddick's face immediately became solemn, and after two minutes of contemplation, he said cautiously, "According to my observation and exploration just now, this guy seems to be really conscious of himself. Of course, even if the consciousness of the person behind him So, as long as we control his positions, I believe they can't make too much trouble."

   "Some things you may not know!"

There was a faint voice of reprimand on the phone, "The Chinese government has been secretly absorbing our national debt for the past few years, and they even used the name of other countries for this. It's like some countries in Europe, such as Belgium, they bought in name The U.S. national debt actually uses all the funds from China. This matter is no longer a secret among the top government officials, and it has even been heard among the top executives of some big banks."

   "There is such a thing?"

  Roddick's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he began to speak sluggishly, "This... there is such a thing? What do they want to do?"

"It's very simple!" The voice continued, "Because they have accumulated a large amount of foreign exchange in dollars, whether it is investment or export, and this part of assets must be invested to preserve value, and U.S. treasury bonds are the best way to invest. So you should It is easy to understand, but the fact that they used the vest was beyond our expectations. According to our judgment, the reason for using the vest is that on the one hand, they intend to paralyze us and the market, and on the other hand, they intend to influence the total debt to achieve the purpose of intervening in the domestic economic policy of the United States.”

"Don't underestimate their recent activities. If it is really done by the Chinese government, then the total amount of national debt absorbed in the near future is very likely to exceed our expected psychological limit. Although this is still far from the number that affects the US domestic economic policy But this is not a pleasant thing after all. So when I send you here this time, I must find out what the purpose of the person behind it is. Now, do you understand?"

"Even if the purpose is not clear, let the other party understand our intentions, in other words, warn the other party. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and economic wars, it is necessary to maintain unobstructed communication. Of course, if there is When necessary, we can even use the Tianyu Fund. Frankly speaking, it doesn’t matter whether the Tianyu Fund itself has problems or not, it’s important to find out the intentions of the Chinese government behind it.”

   "So it is!"

  Roddick suddenly realized, "But if it is really Tianyu Fund itself, rather than the Huaxia government's instigation, then what should I do?"

  He still believed in his heart that there was no shadow of the Huaxia government behind Zhongshi. Before that, he had carefully investigated and found that Tianyu Fund had always maintained a close relationship with the Huaxia government, neither very close nor alienated. Compared with other super consortiums and Huaxia consortia in Hong Kong who are inextricably linked, Tianyu Fund's style is really different.

  Maybe there are unknown inside stories, Roddick thought secretly.

"It doesn't matter whether they have it or not. The important thing is that they can't absorb more than our preset psychological limit." The voice thought for a while and said solemnly, "There is still a balance of 50 billion US dollars before our psychological defense line. You can Warn him, or tell the people behind him through his mouth, not to cross this line, otherwise there will be serious consequences that neither side wants to see!"

"I see!"

  After confirming the bottom line, Roddick relaxed a lot, let out a long breath, thought for a while by himself, and then slowly walked out of the room.

   "How is it, have you explained everything clearly?"

  Zhong Shi has been drinking water for most of the day, and his stomach is bloated, which is really uncomfortable. There is no bathroom in this office, so he can only bear it forcibly. This feeling is really uncomfortable. When he saw Roddick reappear, he even had a feeling of amnesty.

"No!"

Roddick's face darkened, and he replied unceremoniously, but his tense face relaxed in the next moment, "The free market is the essence of the United States. We can't deny a good investor just because of unwarranted doubts, nor It is not in the interests of the United States to easily close the door to the outside world because of this. We have decided not to pursue this matter any further, but we have one condition!"

"condition?"

  Zhong Shi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, knowing that the other party still did not believe his words, "What are the conditions, don't bother to say it and listen."

   "The total purchase of national debt cannot exceed 25 billion US dollars. This is our bottom line!" Roddick said solemnly, "Once this range is exceeded, I believe you know what will happen without me reminding you?"

  His upper peak gave him a quota of 50 billion US dollars, but when it came to Roddick, he cut it in half at once.

   "250? No one wants to do 250!" Zhong Shi said with a self-mockery, then stood up and walked out quickly, "There are no other conditions, so it's settled!"

   What made Zhong Shi feel more uncomfortable was that Phillips Solomon stopped him unceremoniously. With a wave of his hand, his thick arms blocked his way. Zhong Shi had to look back at Roddick, "Is there anything else?"

   Roddick looked at Zhong Shi seriously, and always felt that the other party seemed to have something that he couldn't tell, but he didn't know exactly what it was. After pondering for a while, he finally waved his hand towards Phillips Solomon and let Zhongshi go.

Zhong Shi, who was so anxious, took three steps at a time and ran into the bathroom quickly, drained the water heartily, exhaled comfortably, then curled his lips, and said with lingering fear: "It's really good to make some money these days." It’s not easy, a single move can attract the attention of the U.S. government, and it’s really unlucky to encounter such a thing as hostage-taking. Now that the other party has realized it, it seems that it is impossible to build a large-scale warehouse. Alas, A rare opportunity…”

   After sighing for a long time, he took out his phone and asked Land Rover to send someone to pick him up. He was indeed a little scared, and he was so close to death today, which made him realize that safety issues should not be ignored.

   Inadvertently involved in the game between two superpowers, a slight negligence may be crushed, Zhongshi needs to think carefully about this matter.

Zhong Shi’s prediction was correct. Just a few minutes ago, the person who spoke to Roddick put down the phone and immediately dialed the internal number, “Some governments have already learned about our plan. , these operations may be made public, because within more than a week, you must complete the operations as soon as possible, so that our expected goals can be achieved as soon as possible.”
