Eight hundred and fifty-ninth chapter economic czar
At four o'clock in the morning of the East Eighth District, this Asian is already sleeping, while human activities on both sides of the Atlantic are at the most active stage. The world's largest, 24-hour uninterrupted trading, is now entering the most drastic change in the day.
As the de facto central bank in the United States, the Federal Reserve has the responsibility to formulate monetary policies and regulate U.S. financial institutions.
As the world currency, the US dollar has a global circulation position, which also creates the Fed's unparalleled influence on the world economy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Fed is the mastermind behind the world economy - oh, the statement behind the scenes is inaccurate. The Fed has never deliberately stood behind the scenes, but has made it openly to show everyone how it manipulates the world economy.
In the history of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve Chairman in 1993 was a powerful man who shocked the world with his titles of economic czar and US dollar president. From 1987 to 2006, the US economy was in the hands of such a person for 19 years. He can be said to have created the status of the global currency of the US dollar. His words are even more substantial than Reagan, Clinton and Bush, and they are the real world economic helmsman.
"Chairman Greenspan, Mr. Soros has arrived."
In the office of the Federal Reserve Chairman in New York, Greenspan's desk was placed on Greenspan's desk - "Get money out of here!". I'm afraid at this time, few people would think that Greenspan, who is already 67 years old, would be an old networm, spend a lot of time surfing the Internet every day. Clinton would vigorously promote the Internet industry during his term, and one aspect was inseparable from Greenspan's support.
Hearing the secretary's notice, Greenspan put the web page opened on the computer and turned around and looked at the door of the office.
Soros was four years younger than Greenspan, but he looked like he was ten years older than the other party.
"Mr. Soros, are your work ready?"
As soon as Soros walked into the office, Greenspan couldn't wait to ask.
"I have already prepared 15 billion US dollars in funds and can enter the market to operate the pound at any time."
Soros obviously made a big move. Quantum funds cannot keep it confidential if they absorb capital of such a large scale. What's more, there is no secret to Fed Chairman Greenspan. No matter what he wants to do, he must be officially recognized before operating.
After 1929, anyone who made financial disasters in the United States had no background would have a life of making money and spending money. Jesse Livermore made $100 million in the 1930s in the stock market crash, but in the end he did not dare to claim that he was working here, and ended up committing suicide by drinking and beating himself. But while selling short, Peter Lynch also made money in the stock market crash, but he was a director of Fidelity Fund, so no matter how many people jumped off the building, he did not affect his "enterprise charity" in his later years with money.
Greenspan is known as the economic tsar and the president of the US dollar. He can have an impact on the economic operation of the entire world and is someone Soros must be cautious in any case.
Of course, sometimes Soros is not worried that he will make Greenspan angry, because maybe he is actually working for Greenspan from beginning to end?
"One hundred and fifteen billion!" Greenspan repeated in an admiring tone, pointing to the position in front of him with satisfaction and said, "Sit down, Mr. Soros. We have a tough battle to fight next, and I hope you and your army can take responsibility."
Soros sat opposite him at Greenspan's instruction, but hesitated a little: "Mr Greenspan, seriously, I think it may not be a good time to operate the pound now."
"Oh, tell me what you think."
Greenspan did not have the displeasure that Soros imagined, but showed a somewhat admirable smile.
Greenspan likes smart people. Of course, he doesn't always like smart people, but when doing serious things, who doesn't want the people under his work to be smart people? Soros is able to do things more than simply follow his instructions, which shows that he is a person who can think independently.
Soros breathed a sigh of relief, poured himself a glass of water, held the cup and thought for a moment: "I have done some research on the German economy recently, and the results are somewhat beyond my expectations."
"Since the merger of the two Germanys, the forecast data believe that Germany's economy will have a big leap. The resources obtained from East Germany will give West Germany a very fast growth period, and the German economy will face relatively high inflationary pressure."
"However, Germany's economic development data since this year show that Germany's economic growth may not be as optimistic as predicted. Although the East Germany market was annexed by West Germany, the asset loss caused by the merger of the two Germanys was beyond imagination. Since 1991, Germany's economic growth has begun to slow down. Although it is affected by the Russian North Sea Fleet incident, its domestic growth is also a fact. Perhaps the East Germany market is not as big as expected. Perhaps they lost serious blood during the merger of the two Germanys..."
"You're right." Greenspan nodded and affirmed Soros' analysis: "Now the pound is overvalued against the Mark, and the German economy is not as expected, which will make our operations easier."
"But if we attack the pound, it will be a major benefit for the Germans." Soros showed his momentum a little, and opened his eyes and said: "If the pound encounters a crisis, its influence in Europe will be greatly weakened. The Germans have recovered from the trauma of 1991, and no one will stop them from advancing the euro this time."
"Perhaps in the near future, operating the pound is a great project. But in the long run, the decline of the pound is not worth the cost for the United States."
Papa, Greenspan finally smiled completely and couldn't help but applaud: "Mr. Soros, it's really amazing that you can see such a long future."
"You're right. The Germans have been seeking to form the EU and issue the euro for a long time, and the British are really our best ally in Europe. A united Europe is less comfortable for the United States, and even threatening the United States."
"But your eyes cannot only see Europe, but also see another place." Greenspan reached out and drew an arc to the lower right corner in the air, and then pointed it hard.
Soros pondered a little and soon realized what he meant. If the starting point of Greenspan's gesture was Europe, then the obvious landing point was the most critical position in which he built the petrodollar system - the Middle East, to be precise, Iraq.
"Iraq, it's not going well, right?"
“Very right.”
Greenspan nodded cautiously, and said with a somewhat irritable expression: "Iraq has been very uneasy recently. Some information indicates that Saddam may have left something after his death. It may be a tape, a manuscript or a bloody headscarf. This ghost guy is more troublesome when he dies than when he is alive." (Chapter 676, has been reposted on the official account)
"Iraq's resistance is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength we invest there can only be greater and greater. The United States has just ended its confrontation with the Soviet Union and needs to rely on oil to master and harvest the world economy. Iraq is the most important move for the United States in the Middle East, which is crucial. But on the other hand, after the confrontation with the Soviet Union, the United States has been very tired for decades."
Soros was obviously stunned when he heard these inside stories and said thoughtfully: "Iraq has invested a lot in military expenditure?"
Greenspan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's beyond imagination."
The US was stationed in Iraq ten years in advance, and this burden was a bit beyond the limit of its endurance. The US, which harvested the world in the 21st century, could carry out two security wars at the same time, which does not mean that the US in 1993 could do it.
"We need some unexpected gains to continue to maintain our troops in Iraq. The pound is just the beginning. By hitting the pound, the economy of Hong Kong will be damaged and then creating an economic crisis in Southeast Asia. This is our goal. Only by harvesting Britain and Southeast Asia can the petrodollar strategy continue."
"So, so..."
Soros suddenly realized: "That monster in China will break the promise and take action, because this is actually what we invited?"
"That's right, only that monster can do this when operating on both ends of the Eurasian continent!"
Greenspan looked at Soros. The man's performance today made him look at him with some admiration. After thinking about it, he decided to give him a last hint.
"That monster in China has too much influence in the financial market."
"Soros, you are a man with amazing talents." Greenspan's eyes flashed, full of expectations: "To fight against that monster, you must have a hero of ours. If you can complete this operation, your legend will be circulated all over the world. You will become the emperor of the financial world, and you will be the indestructible shield of American finance."
"For the sake of the United States, do you understand?"
"Mr. Greenspan, to be honest - I'm sixty-three years old this year, but I've never been so ambitious in my life."
"Let us make a big profit of TM's vote for the United States!"
Greenspan looked at Soros's hand that reached out, laughed heartily and covered it with his own hands.
"God bless America, do it."
Greenspan pushed the phone from his desk to Soros and made a gesture of asking for help.
Soros was not polite either. He grabbed the phone and pressed the number, and gave an order to the opposite of the phone neatly.
"As planned, we start selling £5 billion now."
