After a while, Yao Yuan entered the office.

Then he started to check the situation of international financial markets online.

Everything was just as he expected!

The Australian and Asia-Pacific stock markets, which opened the earliest, plummeted as soon as they opened.

The largest declines were in the Japanese and South Korean stock markets, and among sectors and individual stocks, financial institutions saw the largest declines.

Not only the stock market, but also the foreign exchange market, bond market, and futures market have been falling continuously, and the situation is terrible!

The gold futures market rose against the trend, officially kicking off a magnificent upward trend!

And this is the result after top financial institutions such as the Federal Reserve and Morgan Stanley, as well as governments and central banks of various countries, urgently issued clarification announcements.

If there were no clarification announcements, the performance of the international financial market after opening today would have been even more tragic!

Seeing the plummeting international financial market, Yao Yuan's face was full of smiles.

Jiuye Investment Group and the secret action team, which have made early arrangements, will make a fortune and reap a huge harvest in this round of decline.

As we were talking, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

There was suddenly a knock on the door, and then Gao Ning pushed the door open and walked in.

Behind her followed Zhou Chaoyang, Mr. Zhao and a few others.

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Zhou and his team are here."

"Okay, go out and work."

Yao Yuan nodded and raised his hand to gesture towards the chairs opposite.

"Everyone come and sit down, I have something to talk about"

"Okay, Mr. Yao"

Mr. Zhou and the others nodded and walked towards the desk.

Gao Ning left the office and closed the door.

As they were talking, Mr. Zhou and his colleagues had already sat down on their chairs.

As soon as we sat down, Mr. Zhou said with a smile:

"Mr. Yao, what you said to the reporter in front of the building an hour ago has spread to Wall Street."

"Merrill Lynch CEO John just called to express his gratitude to you personally. Thank you for speaking well of Merrill Lynch in front of the media and thank you for your support of Merrill Lynch."

"John also said that he was personally very sorry for the unpleasant things that happened in the past and hoped that our two financial groups could carry out in-depth cooperation in the future."

"From what he said, it seems that he intends to follow the example of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and sell the high-quality assets they hold to us. He just didn't say it explicitly. I don't know what you mean by that?"

"In terms of the quality of the assets held, the size and quality of Merrill Lynch's assets are definitely bigger and better than those of Lehman Brothers. This is indeed a good opportunity."

Yao Yuan sneered and shook his head, saying disdainfully:

"I'm not so kind as to say anything good about Merrill Lynch, which once plotted against me. I wish Merrill Lynch would die sooner!"

"However, Merrill Lynch cannot collapse or die at this time. This is not in line with our interests or the interests of the country!"

"Whether Merrill Lynch is acquired or goes bankrupt, it can only happen after the Beijing Olympics and after Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy protection."

"Only in this way can it best serve our interests and the interests of our country. That is why I just spoke well of Merrill Lynch and helped them survive!"

Mr. Zhou and the others looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"I know, this is just to tease the idiot!"

Yao Yuan chuckled and nodded, then continued:

"As for the huge amount of high-quality assets held by Merrill Lynch, we will not touch them. We cannot take all the good things for ourselves, as that will attract the jealousy and attacks of others."

"From the news that broke yesterday, it seems that large financial institutions such as Bank of America and Citigroup are interested in acquiring Merrill Lynch."

"Their main target should be the huge amount of high-quality assets held by Merrill Lynch. In this case, let's give this big piece of fat to them."

"Another reason is that if we swallow up the remaining high-quality assets of three top Wall Street investment banks in a row, it would be too conspicuous."

"In this way, we can easily be slandered as the culprit for the outbreak of the financial crisis. It is good for us to keep a low profile."

"The last reason is that the scale of our investment in the U.S. financial market must always be kept within a safe range to prevent unexpected events!"

"And we have to regularly withdraw investment profits and put them in our pockets. One day in the future, the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve, and Wall Street will definitely deal with us."

"In view of this, we must always be vigilant and be ready to retreat at any time, and we must continue to strengthen our own strength so that the US side will be unable to bite the hedgehog!"

"Even if the US attacks us with all its might, or even joins forces with all its lackeys to attack us, we must be able to retreat unscathed and retain most of our investment profits!"

"Hahaha"

Mr. Zhou and the others all burst into laughter, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

After talking about Meilin Securities, Yao Yuan then explained the real reason why he asked Zhou Chaoyang and the others to come over.

"The Beijing Olympics will open this Friday. I plan to fly back to Beijing on the 7th to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympics."

"I will stay in Beijing for a week, then go to Shanghai, where I will also stay for about a week, and return to Hong Kong Island around the 22nd."

“Before I leave, I will make some arrangements and adjust the investment strategy to ensure that there are no problems with the group’s investment business in the international financial market.”

"An investment analysis team led by Li Shan will go to Beijing to provide me with technical support and convey some of my decisions and investment plans."

"During my absence from Hong Kong Island, I will keep an eye on the international financial market, adjust my investment strategy based on the actual situation, and maintain close communication with you..."

Next, he talked in detail about his arrangements and adjustments to the investment strategy.

This included sending a team to New York to complete the final series of transactions with Lehman Brothers Bank and complete the registration procedures for the change of equity.

There is one more thing. Once the U.S. Treasury Department completes its takeover of the two housing agencies, the fixed income investment department will purchase about US$1 billion of bonds of the two housing agencies.

This is just the beginning. We will continue to purchase billions of dollars of Fannie and Freddie Mac bonds in the future.

In addition to the two housing bonds, a certain amount of U.S. Treasury bonds must also be purchased.

This is the agreement reached with the US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve. It is time to implement it now. It is also a gesture to the US side!

In this way, when the financial crisis breaks out and Jiuye Investment Group frantically sweeps up wealth in the U.S. financial market, there will be fewer obstacles!

The amount of money earned by then will be an extremely astonishing astronomical figure.

In comparison, the funds invested in purchasing Fannie and Freddie Mac bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds are just a drop in the bucket!

What's more, these investments can be recovered, but the profits are too small!

It took Yao Yuan nearly twenty minutes to finish explaining his arrangements and plans.

Then, he changed the subject.

"There are a few more things I need to plan ahead of time so I won't be caught off guard when they happen."

"First of all, from what I have observed, Iceland has shown signs of national bankruptcy. Perhaps within a month, Iceland will declare national bankruptcy."

"Iceland's annual GDP is only around 150 billion US dollars, and it has no decent industry, but its foreign debt is more than billion euros."

"Especially in Iceland's banking industry, where financial leverage has reached an insane level, if a financial crisis breaks out, Iceland will likely be the first country to declare bankruptcy."

"In view of this, I have decided to have our group immediately end all investment businesses related to Iceland. Whether it is the stock market or the foreign exchange market, all positions must be closed!"

"We can't wait until Iceland goes bankrupt before leaving. That would be too conspicuous and even cause hatred from countless Icelanders. We don't want to make every last penny!"

"At this stage, our country is in a period of keeping a low profile and focusing on development. We must cooperate with the country's grand strategy and cannot make enemies unnecessarily, as that will do no good."

"Ah! Iceland is going bankrupt!"

With Zhou Chaoyang's exclamation, everyone was stunned!
