Reborn Financial Overlord

Therefore, although he was surprised by the one-time amount requested by Robert John, this was not the main reason why Stephen Hess could not believe it.

What really surprised him was the use of Robert John to borrow such a large sum of money.

Short the pound!

Robert John asked the National Westminster Bank to lend him 45 billion pounds, and when he needed it, he sold it in the foreign exchange trading department of the Bank of Westminster.

Shocked, stunned, and looking at Robert John with an idiot's eyes, Stephen Hess remembered what a director of the financial services department should do at this time.

"Honorable Mr. John, with all due respect. This is a very stupid investment. If Germany lowers interest rates, shorting the pound has no chance of success. Even if Germany does not lower interest rates, the Bank of England has enough foreign exchange reserves to Keeping the value of the pound, my God, that's £220 billion worth of reserves."

stupid?

Robert John couldn't help standing upright, with fanaticism in his eyes. Indeed, any normal person would now feel that shorting the British pound is a very stupid investment. Now Germany is facing tremendous pressure and has chosen to back down. If Germany cuts interest rates , then shorting the pound at this time will undoubtedly bear huge risks.

Britain has another $400 billion worth of foreign exchange reserves.

But so what.

Could my boss be wrong?

Absolutely not.

Victorious again and again, in Robert John's heart, Shen Jiannan has long been a god-like existence.

If he wants to short the pound, the victory must belong to the Air Force.

Robert John was very satisfied with Stephen Hess' sincere service attitude. Compared with those bankers who desperately tried to cheat money from his pocket, this kind of guy is much cuter, isn't he?Even though he knew that the reason Stephen Hess did this was because he now carried US$18 billion in US national debt, and his attitude was another expression of sincerity.

Robert John hated bankers, even if he had been one.

However, he appreciates Stephen Hess's precious qualities like him, and he has enough honesty before God.

This is very similar to him.

Therefore, Robert John was like a messenger of God walking in the world, with kindness and comfort in his eyes. He looked at Stephen Hess as if he was looking at a humble but pious servant.

"Hess, do you believe in God?"

Uh......

Stephen Hess was confused by Robert John's question. He didn't understand what this had to do with investment.

But out of politeness, he still chose to answer the question.

"Of course. I do. I'm a devout Christian."

"Very good. Then let me tell you, this is the gospel of God. It is God who let me short the pound. Now there is an opportunity in front of you, and it depends on how you choose."

"..."

Is there anything wrong with this guy's brain?

Stephen Hess' eyes became very strange. If it weren't for the US$18 billion US national debt in front of him, he would just want to stay away from this idiot.

If believing in God can make money, why is he still in charge here? If the gospel of God can make people get rid of poverty, why are so many people unemployed all over the street?

What the hell, God told you to short the pound, are you out of your mind?

Or, does this guy believe in the devil?

A guy like Robert John is old and sophisticated, so he can't see what Stephen Hess is thinking, but he doesn't intend to say anything.

He gave the opportunity, and whether he can seize it is someone else's business.

"I know you may not believe it, but I think you will soon know that what I say is true. But before that, let's talk about the loan."

"As you wish."

at the same time.

A middle-aged Russian woman walked into the Royal Bank of Scotland with two assistants.

When the lobby manager of the bank heard that they wanted to borrow 15 billion pounds, he immediately bowed his tall and straight body like a servant.

"Dear madam. Please follow me to the VIP room upstairs. There, there are professional personnel with full authority to provide you with efficient and high-quality services."

Lloyds Bank, Barclays Bank, Midland Bank, and almost at the same time, the teams of German, Kamandy, Nanbo Bank and Capital One entered the four major commercial banks in the UK.

borrow money.

borrow money.

Borrow more and more money.

Like a snowball rolling on a snowy field, the shares of the KONE Group borrowed [-] million pounds, and the [-] million pounds were used as a marginal loan to become a billion pounds.

18 billion US dollars of national debt, a rollover, turned into 45 billion pounds under leverage.

The shares of the Nokia Group borrowed 5000 million pounds, and the 5000 million pounds were turned into [-] million pounds with the help of leverage.

Adding the one billion pounds borrowed a long time ago, the one billion pounds of cash has become another five billion pounds under the leverage of marginal loans.

A full £[-] billion.

In other words, more than 200 billion US dollars.

No one would have imagined that the crazy thing of leverage can turn only 40 billion US dollars into more than 200 billion US dollars.

Rome, Fiumicino Airport,

A large special plane over 100 landed at Terminal T5, where Fiumicino Airport in Italy specially stops planes traveling between the United States and Israel, as well as special planes.

Not long after, Shen Jiannan stepped off the plane while holding back the waists of Qina and Yulia.Sean Kowski, who had been waiting for a long time, let go of the flagon by his mouth, and quickly waved his hand to greet him.

"boss."

Chapter 9 God's Kingdom Comes 666

Looking at Sean Kowski who was leaning against the car door and drinking, Shen Jiannan wondered if he had made a wrong decision by letting this guy come to Italy to stand by.

That's right, it's the pilot who drank heavily when he flew the helicopter and landed in the deep forest, a guy who never leaves his body and drinks like his life.

Shen Jiannan's aura was too strong, and Sean Kowski felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his weird gaze. Without moving, he handed the flagon over in a daze.

"Boss. Have some?"

"..."

Shen Jiannan didn't know what to say.

Sean Kowski is not bad in other aspects. He can fly planes, drive cars, tanks, boats, play with firearms, and know fighting skills. It can be said that he was born to work for him , but the problem of loving wine is really a headache.

If he got drunk and drove the car into the sky, he would probably die tragically like in his previous life.

"Sean, are you sure drinking won't delay work?"

"Boss, don't worry, drinking this wine will not delay things. I used to drink a catty of liquor every day."

"now what?"

"Now that I have money, drink two catties of vodka."

"You are an honest fellow."

"Haha... Just kidding, just kidding. Miss An Ran asked me to take you with me."

Putting away the jug, Sean Kowski took out a box from his pocket, Shen Jiannan opened it, and couldn't help laughing.

A yellow flower bud.

Rapeseed.

A new variety planted by Jiuding Group in Wulanke Base.

But rapeseed...

Rome has a history of more than 500 years. It is a world-famous historical and cultural city and the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire. It is nicknamed the "Eternal City" because of its long history.

The whole city is located in the central and western part of the Italian peninsula, on seven hills in the lower reaches of the Tiber River. The city center covers an area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers.It is the largest and most populous city in Italy and one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.

In some respects, Rome, as the capital of Italy, is even more present and famous than the country of Italy.

Because Rome is the center of the Catholic Church all over the world, the Vatican in the city is the seat of the Pope and the Holy See. In the entire city of Rome, there are more than 700 churches and monasteries alone.

It was also the first time for Shen Jiannan to visit this place, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the beauty of this city.

The combination of rigor, balance and Baroque architectural style advocating luxury and grandeur during the Renaissance makes the whole city full of classical charm and beauty.

You can see all kinds of historical sculptures everywhere. There are giants who approved armor, and there are lifelike statues of gods. If you have to describe what kind of city this is, probably, the kingdom of gods may be the most vivid.

Like, its city-state, the Vatican.

Some people say that the Jews created God, and God created the world.

Although this is the kingdom of God where Christians from all over the world pilgrimage, Shen Jiannan, who shares the same identity, lacks faith and is naturally not interested in anything other than architecture.If he must say that he is also interested in other things here, probably, probably, it is the lira in the pockets of the Italian people.

However, with two women who also believed in Christianity by his side, Shen Jiannan had to consider their feelings.

"Qina. You have never been to Rome before. Now, do you want to go on a pilgrimage?"

"Shen. What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you Christians? Don't pay homage to the Pope, but visit the Holy See by the way?"

"God. You are really a devil. How can you say such a thing. Don't you know that we believe in the Orthodox Church?"

Shen Jiannan was really overwhelmed by this question. For a guy like him, he couldn't tell the difference between Protestantism, Orthodox Church, and Catholicism.

The bewildered Shen Jiannan completely defeated Qi Na and Yulia. They looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.

"You don't have to worry about our feelings. Following a guy like you, our faith has long been lost."

"Okay. That's really good news."

"Shen. Your habit is very bad. This place is too close to the Holy See, and you will be scolded if you are heard."

Shen Jiannan shrugged helplessly.

"You'll be scolded sooner or later anyway. What's the difference?"

"It seems so."

"Ha ha......"

While enjoying the scenery along the way, the convoy followed the main road and arrived in Colonna soon after the three of them talked.

Home to Rome's first-class museums, boutiques, window displays, restaurants, cafés, cosmopolitan beauties, dignitaries, foreign tourists, envoys, clergy, and busy locals pass through Colonna's alleys every day, while in Here, too, are several Roman favorites—a 2nd-century column, the Belle Epoque shopping center and the magnificent Baroque Capitol.

Of course, Colonna is not only this side, it is the modern cultural and economic center of Rome.

The historic Roman Exchange is not far from here, and on the surrounding streets, you can also see elegantly decorated and quaint banking institutions everywhere.

Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.

The third largest bank in Italy and the Italian National Investment Bank.It was established in Turin, Italy in 1850, and reorganized in 1863, moving its headquarters to Rome. With a century-old history, it has a good reputation in the banking industry.

Following Shen Jiannan's instructions, Sean Kowski, who had already put the map of Rome in his head, drove the car to the gate of the bank.

The reason for choosing Cassa Depositi e Prestiti is naturally not only because of its good reputation.The Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance holds 83% of the share capital of Postal Savings Italy, while 16% is held by banking institutions and the remaining 1% is treasury shares.It is also responsible for managing the Italian Postal Savings.

In short, it is money.

Not bad money!

But when he reached his destination, Shen Jiannan became worried.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and short sellers are always not very popular. His reputation in the whole of Europe is not very good now. If he goes to the bank like this, the news will be leaked immediately.

Glancing at Qina and Yulia, the three of them exchanged glances. Soon, Sean Kowski's car drove away, and Yulia and Qina walked into the lobby of the bank with two assistants and bodyguards.

"Boss. Your reputation is not very good now. I suggest you better not go out and wander around."

A section of intersection.

Shen Jiannan opened the car door and was about to smoke a cigarette when Sean Kowski suddenly reminded him.

This guy suddenly looked confused, he just didn't have a good reputation in the financial industry, so how could he stop smoking a cigarette?

Sean Kowski's small eyes were full of resentment, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

boss!

Don't you have any clues in your mind?
