Shenhao: Tianhu Started And Reached The Pinnacle Of Life!
Chapter 179: The Great Temptation, 1.5 Trillion Us Dollars!
In 2008, on the night of August 15th, the night was gloomy and I couldn't see my fingers.
A fleet returning from the Far East passed through the Celtic Sea, entered Bristol Bay, and reached Gloucester on the east bank of the lower Severn.
"Hey Jim, my brother!"
"Where did you come from? Let me guess.
"Brazil? Egypt? Sri Lanka?"
In front of Gloucester Customs, a middle-aged chubby white man with beards warmly greeted Jim, the person in charge of Galaxy Shipping.
Gloucester is located in the lower reaches of Birmingham, and these customs officers have received a lot of favors from the Shelby family, and the relationship is quite harmonious.
"Anglo!"
"Sorry, you guessed wrong."
"I came back from Xiaguo, and as you know, two new mobile phone manufacturers have appeared in Xiaguo recently, and there is a huge demand for equipment.
Jim shrugged, pretending to be relaxed and whistled, no one noticed the trace of vigilance in his eyes.
When the middle-aged chubby white man heard this, he immediately showed curiosity and asked, "You mean rice and sound transmission?"
"Oh, myGod, I know them, the M1 and XL are good phones."
"Angelo."
"I'm afraid you'll have to check quickly. My brothers and I have been at sea for nearly twenty days."
"We can't wait to get back to the pub in Birmingham and meet the buxom lady who runs it.
Jim said with a relaxed posture.
"Jim!"
"I heard that you fell under the proprietress's skirt and came out by leaning on the wall.
Anglo made a joke.
"Hahaha!"
This remark instantly caused all the customs officers present to burst into laughter.
"Bah bah bah!"
"I'm a well-known strong man in Birmingham!"
Hearing this, Jim became a little annoyed.
"Ha ha!"
"It's still the old rules, these small boats are fine, let them go first.
"Let our strong man find the proprietress!"
"One Four Zero" waved his hand, and Anglo said with a smile.
"Hey!!!"
A group of customs officers behind them put all the ships under 10,000 tons into the Severn River.
The Shelby family has established a good reputation in the business for hundreds of years, and no one would think that they would dare to do anything here at the customs.
Furthermore, there is a checkpoint at Worcester, where the ships undergo a second inspection before their cargo is unloaded.
"call.…"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Jim, who had left Gloucester, stared at the customs in the dark night, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For the sake of secrecy, ten launchers and twenty Hongying 5s are distributed on these small-tonnage ships.
Then there was a tributary between Gloucester and Worcester, which ran through Coventry, where the responding Shelbys took things—took them up, and sailed off the River Severn in speedboats, bringing them The weapons with huge lethality were sent to the Aegis security guards.
No one has guessed what Tang Tian's trump card is. Everyone is staring at the property that Xingchen Investment has just bought in the Financial City. That 30-story building is still assigned to Xingchen Investment, worth 500 billion Dow account in USD.
On September 15th, three months after the outbreak of the financial crisis, news from North America shocked the world.
The fourth largest investment bank in the United States, Lehman Brothers, fell into a serious financial crisis and announced to apply for bankruptcy protection, which ignited all this.
The European Central Bank announced on the same day that it would inject a total of 30 billion euros into the commercial banking system for a period of one day, with an average interest rate of 4.39%, higher than the leading interest rate of the European Central Bank of 4.25%.
This is the ECB's first such intervention since the crisis in global financial markets in the summer of 2007.
At this moment, countries around the world really know that a more severe challenge has arrived, and everyone is frightened.
On September 20, the current official of America submitted a bill to Congress to rescue the financial system, and the Ministry of Finance will be authorized to purchase up to 700 billion US dollars of non-performing housing mortgage assets.
Everyone knows that the US government hopes to solve this trouble in the shortest possible time, but this is obviously impossible.
On September 22, the seven European countries led by Germany refused to participate in the US financial rescue plan, which declared bankruptcy.
On the third day, Washington Mutual, the largest savings and loan bank in the United States, was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, becoming the largest bank to close down in the history of the United States.
On September 29, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected the $700 billion rescue plan, and U.S. stocks fell sharply. The Dow plummeted 777 points, which became the largest point drop in history. The single-day drop was as high as 7%. biggest drop.
Market confidence is weak, the Dow continues to sink, and the 10,000-point mark is in jeopardy.
The U.S. Senate is trying to restore all this, and is scheduled to vote on the case on Wednesday, but only on the 30th, the Dow fell below 10,000 points and continued to fall, and the whole world was crying.
On October 2, the U.S. Senate passed a new version of the $700 billion bailout plan, increasing the total from the original $700 billion to $850 billion. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The plunge in the global financial market has been unstoppable and lasted until the 6th, leaving the Dow with less than 7,000 points.
Unexpectedly, gold, the most value-preserving commodity, has recorded the largest single-month decline (18.07%) in the history of gold futures.
"Master Tang!"
"The Dow is now at 6,800."
Inside the Star Investment Building in the Financial City, George looked at Tang Tian with a serious face.
"According to our plan, the warehouse will be cleared immediately.
"200 billion US dollars backhand to go long with 10 times leverage!"
"Chase Manhattan Bank has provided a deposit, and the United States is guaranteeing us.
"Go long at all costs and resist the minister!"
With eyes like torches, Tang Tian stared at a piece of green screen, and gave an order in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Without saying a word, George turned and entered the operation room: "Start harvesting!"
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
With the sound of keystrokes one after another, the 4 million lots of sell orders held by Star Investment were quickly placed on the market.
The international financial institutions that are trying to fish in troubled waters are all jealous when they see these sales orders. The Dow is also a kind of futures with a limited volume. Due to the advance layout of the top ten British families and Xingchen Investment, the largest piece is in their hands. inside.
If they don't release these lists, the international financial institutions won't get any money at all.
"quick!"
"A lot of orders, hurry up!"
"No matter what the price is, take it all!"
For a time, financial institutions, retail investors, and private equity all over the world frantically accepted the sell orders thrown by Star Investment.
How could it be possible for the top ten British families not to see Tang Tian's operation, all of them are in a hurry, they hold 4.2 million more short orders than Star Investment, if it hits their hands, then It's a real blood loss.
"Out of warehouse!"
"All out!"
The third-generation leader of the royal family, William, who was in charge of supervising operations, made a decisive decision and gave orders.
"YES!"
Without saying a word, the trader team sold off one after another.
Alice, who had just arrived, looked at the operation room in full swing, and couldn't help asking eagerly: "William, what are you doing?"
"Didn't it be agreed that everything will have to wait for Tang Tian to give orders?"
"You are leaving the warehouse at this time, and there is no news from Tang Tian."
"Alice!"
However, William stared at Alice blankly, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will remember that you are the Earl of Buckingham.
"Also, Star Investment has sold off on a large scale."
"But Tang Tian didn't inform us, what do you think he is doing?"
What?
bang!!!
Alice's complexion changed suddenly, why didn't Tang Tian notify them of such an important operation.
What the hell are these people doing?
Looking at William and those traders operating in an orderly manner, Alice suddenly felt a trace of fear in her heart.
"..."
At this moment, a group of dark people poured into the operating room.
"William."
"What's the situation now?"
The headed British Crown Prince Charles stepped forward and asked.
"Daddy!"
"We are already shipping, and we hold too many short orders, and we will not be able to leave the hospital for a while.
"Star Investment shipped the goods before us, and they will be able to ship them in an hour at most."
"I have arranged for people to monitor their operations, and currently, one-third of their returns have entered Swiss Bank.
"Based on the height of their sell-off, the profit for this wave is around $200 billion, plus the principal "is about $700 billion."
Facing his father's gaze, William replied meticulously.
"call……"
Everyone present couldn't help breathing a lot.
If calculated in this way, Yinglun and Xingchen Investment made a total of 1.5 trillion US dollars, which is really too big.
At this time, Alice looked at the group of people who broke in with confused eyes, including the crown prince of England, her father, the heads of the Rothschild family and the top ten families in England. They seemed to have reached an agreement, and everyone's eyes were very strange indifferent.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"We have completed the acquisition of twelve companies under Morgan's portfolio."
"As soon as the funds are in the account, it's all over."
"Since that's the case, what else is there to do?"
"According to me, just don't do it, and don't stop..."
Charlie Boot, head of the Boot family, said with a cold expression.
"Yeah, if you don't stop him now, I'm afraid he will run away.
"I think it's just right now."
Henry Howard, Glenn Huxley, Fox Capet and other top ten families in England talk to each other, everyone's eyes are as cruel as eagles hunting their prey
Without a trace of emotion.
"William."
"This is for you."
Prince Charles glanced at William and exhorted.
"Um!"
William nodded solemnly.
Immediately afterwards.
Charlie Boot added a few words in a dark voice: "Tang Tian still has no less than four hundred elites."
"These guys are the elite of S.H.I.E.L.D. Security, armed with assault rifles and other weapons."
"I suggest mobilizing the SAS as the main attack, and MI5 to assist in blocking the periphery......
"good!"
Prince Charles waved his hand, and the two figures behind him left quietly.
"Foot Study"
suddenly.
A burst of mobile phone ringing broke the silence of the scene.
Everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Alice following the ringtone, and Alice was a little at a loss: "Yes, it's Tang Tian's call.
"catch!!!"
Dean Caddy gave Alice a comforting look.
Only then did Alice dial the phone, put it to her ear, and listen to Tang Tian's words, but listen carefully
Her complexion became a little weird.
Immediately, everyone in the room felt strange, and Charlie Boot asked sharply, "What did Tang Tian say?"
"He said he was waiting for us at the manor!"
When the phone was hung up, Alice asked inexplicably.
Click!
The complexions of the many Patriarchs present changed slightly, and Prince Charles raised his hand: "Let's go to Buckinghamshire.
"yes!"
The other Patriarchs followed suit.
Dean Cadvin gave Alice a look, telling her to follow, and left the operation site one after another.
But what the father and daughter didn't expect was that James Rothschild also got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom as soon as they got in the car.
"Uncle James."
"It seems you haven't fully made up your mind either.
Staring at James Rothschild, Dean Kadiwen Xu said meaningfully.
"hehe!"
Stroking his long beard, James Rothschild played with his taste: "You are not in a hurry, what's the use of me being in a hurry."
"Human nature is greedy, only when they are really hurt, will they know that some are iron plates and cannot be touched.
"On the contrary, what I'm more curious about now is what kind of successor Tang Tian will have."
"Just relying on those two hundred security personnel transferred from Xia Guo, it would be foolish to try to make a comeback in England.
"With his heart, it is absolutely impossible not to leave a trump card for himself.
"really!"
Dean Caddy nodded in agreement.
"Daddy!"
"Grandpa James?!"
Seeing this, Alice's face became more and more suspicious: "What's going on here?"
Not only that, but there was worry and panic hidden in her eyes. All of this, as well as the chill just now, are enough to show that this matter is not simple.
SAS, Special Air Service, British Army Special Air Service Regiment, one of the most elite special forces in the whole of England.
Being able to make the crown prince order the mobilization of people from SAS and MI5 to deal with Tang Tian, it can be seen that this time it is really in a life and death situation.
In her heart, Tang Tian is Alice's best friend, the relationship between the two parties is not just friendship, she does not want to see Tang Tian out of the group.
"Alice!"
"You've grown up too, you should know something by now."
After touching Alice's little head, Dean Cadvin said with relief: "Some people are like greedy hyenas.
"They don't think about what others bring, they only know what they give."
"Maybe, they once thought the world was theirs.
"These people don't care about the so-called cooperation, they only care about the interests they get.
"1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, which is already equivalent to the entire assets of 4.4 medium and large consortiums."
"Just ask, how could they be willing to give up half to others?"
The voice fell.
Alice's pupils narrowed fiercely, and she blurted out: "Daddy, the reason you want to deal with Tang Tian is to take the remaining 700 billion dollars from him?"
"But why! All of this is due to Tang Tian's contribution. We contributed funds, and the risk we took was very small."
"All the operations are done by Tang Tian, and we are the ones who pick up the bargain.
"If we do that, how will the world see England, and how will we see us?"
Hearing this, Dean Cadvinsh and James Rothschild looked at each other, and both smiled.
Dean Cadivesh continued: "My little sweetheart."
"In the face of interests, there has never been such a thing as morality and benevolence."
"Tang Tian is not as simple as you think, if he is not prepared, how can he divide the account in advance.
"Moreover, he exited the warehouse in advance without notifying you, which is enough to show that he guessed the ending."
"It can even be said that he is ready."
"this…."
Alice, who stared wide-eyed, still couldn't believe it all.
But looking at the expressions of her father and Grandpa James who obviously knew everything, she suddenly realized that she seemed a little silly.
William knew it, Tang Tian knew it, and the others had planned everything in advance, but she, the contact person, the participant, didn't see it from the beginning to the end, as if everyone was a smart person, and only she was a fool.
This filled Alice, who always thought she was smart enough, with panic and sadness.
The scenery outside the window is constantly changing with the speed of the car, Alice's heart seems to be drifting with the scenery, she doesn't know where she has drifted to, even if everyone's destination is her fiefdom, she doesn't know why at all. .
