Chapter 101 Bill Gross Advice
In recent months, two countries with stakeholders in Gorky companies have been preparing for the upcoming general election. In Colombia, the term of the current President Quartas is about to end. He has left a country with fragmented and constant conflict during his term. What attitude will Quartas' successor adopt to deal with the intensifying guerrillas and drug dealers in the country, which will determine whether the country can restore peace. However, it seems that the people of Colombia are still superstitious about the Americans and are currently in the United States.
Ambassador Vargas seems to have the highest voice and is likely to win the election and become the next President of Colombia. Vargas was graduated from MIT and once went into exile in the United States in the 1940s. Since then, in addition to being the mayor of Bogota for a brief period, Vargas has always been active on the international stage, serving as ambassador to the United States and the United Kingdom and senior executive of the World Bank. Although such a person has a beautiful resume, from the strong American color behind him, Vargas is no different from the agent of the United States' support.
If such a president comes to power, Escobar and the guerrilla armed forces will definitely face a more severe blow. So in order to prevent early, Escobar manipulated a group of politicians who obeyed and firmly controlled the Medellin City Council. At the same time, in order to win the support of the people, Escobar began a generous plan to build housing, stadiums for the vast number of poor people in Medellin City, and sponsor several professional football teams in Medellin City. Escobar's move doubled the favorability of Medellin residents. Although the TV station of Medellin has continued to report on how drug dealers are
The cruelty, cruelty, and the harm of society. However, the newspapers, radio and television stations in Medellin praised Escobar from morning to night. In addition, most of the poor in Medellin have not received enough education and lack basic concepts of right and wrong. Therefore, Escobar spent only a little money to make most of the poor in Medellin regard him as the hero of this land. Although the intellectual class in Medellin scoffed at Escobar, the poor praised Escobar to heaven. The media, which claims to be just, chose the latter without hesitation in the face of bullets and US dollars of drug dealers.
As Escobar became famous, Escobar's move to recruit soldiers to fight against the Colombian government forces became more smooth, and the arms business of Varianjing became more and more prosperous. In order to ensure the concealment of the transportation route, Seriosha chose the end of the shipping in the Panama region. The Mediterranean shipping cargo ships would transport supplies to the port of Panama, and then the trucking company in the Panama region transported the goods to Medellin by land.
As for another country that is about to usher in the election, it is Japan where Mikhail lives now. The Deputy Hokage, whom Mikhail met in his relationship with the richest man of Tsuki Yoshiaki, is a talented person. With his help, Mikhail met many senior leaders of the Liberal Democratic Party. Mikhail's real estate company, opened a convenient door for financing, using the relationship between Seriosha and the British banking industry to assist Deputy Hokage's real estate company, and the Seibu Group, the richest man of Tsuki Yoshia, to raise funds from overseas consortiums. With Mikhail's first-hand operation, the debts of the two companies were converted into high-quality bonds and flowed into Tokyo's securities trading market. Mikhail only needs to pass the hand to make a lot of money for the Gorky Group.
During this period, the yen did not stop its pace of soaring. Now the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar has exceeded the record 160 mark and is moving closer to the 150 mark. Under Seriosha's instruction, Mikhail kept borrowing large dollars from the European and American markets, and then exchanged them into the yen through the Tokyo Bank. Although the borrowed US dollars have a certain interest cost, the rate of rising from the yen is simply incomparable.
As Colombia Bank's investment in the Japanese bond and foreign exchange markets became increasingly large, Mikhail gradually became a little overwhelmed. So he asked Bill Gros, the head of Colombia Bank's bond business, to take over these businesses one after another. However, Bill Gross put forward a not optimistic conclusion to Mikhail.
"President, I think we may not have many good days for investment in Japan? The depreciation of the US dollar is too fast, which is likely to prompt the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department to intervene." Bill Gross said firmly.
"Bill, if you want to explain the principles of economics to me, please treat me as an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything. I don't know much about the profound and obscure economic theories. As long as you can convince me, I agree to adjust the business the way you do." Mikhail was not angry at Bill Gross's doubts. On the contrary, he was happy to listen to the ability of the person Seryosha valued.
"Okay, president! Then I'll say straight to the point that since the signing of the Square Agreement, the US dollar has depreciated a bit too fast. If this continues, then the U.S. Treasury bond sales in the next quarter of the year will be affected. Although the depreciation of the US dollar will be conducive to the recovery of American companies and the economy, no government will rely on the increased taxes of enterprises to maintain government spending. Our government is basically relying on issuing bonds to maintain government fiscal. The depreciation of the US dollar is too fast, the inflation rate is rising, and the yields of U.S. bonds are also continuing to decline. If this continues, I think our government's bonds will be indifferent to the next year. So I think the Treasury will definitely adjust the current exchange rate before the start of the bond issuance cycle in the next year, so I think it is the best time for us to withdraw from Japan before the end of the year!" Bill Gross finally suggested.
