The United Kingdom is a veteran powerhouse in Europe with a developed economy. As the so-called one-shot affects the whole body, the pound has plummeted, affecting the whole of Europe. Not only the British pound currency has depreciated, but Spanish and Italian currencies have also depreciated... European countries have to quickly put out the fire.
After a month or two, speculators led by Soros defeated the British banks and finally forced the United Kingdom to withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism!
Since then, Soros has become famous! ! !
Forbes magazine couldn't help but report on it.
London's Daily Telegraph ran a front-page story with a huge bold headline: "I've Profited $1 Billion as Sterling Plunges!"
London, England.
At this moment, many reporters gathered in Soros's residence, and the gate was blocked, as if the water was blocked.
Sitting on a chair on the balcony, Soros watched the report of The Daily Telegraph, with a smug smile on his face, and the clamor of reporters could be heard downstairs not far away.
"Jingle Bell!"
A phone rang.
"Hello, Soros, I'm Kelly, the editor of The Times!" A very magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the microphone.
"Oh, Kelly, hello!!" Soros said happily.
"Huh? What happened, you're so noisy over there?" Kelly asked, hearing a commotion on the phone.
"I'm in London," Soros replied, his voice excited. "I wonder if you watched The Daily Telegraph?"
"Look!" Kyris wondered.
Soros said in distress: "Alas, my place is now surrounded by reporters. I originally wanted to go out to play tennis, but now I can't. I don't know what to do, what should I do? Can you give me some advice?"
A black line flashed across Kelly's forehead, what the fuck, do you show off like that
"Soros, before making a suggestion, I want to know one thing," Kelly said.
"What's up?"
"Is that the Daily Telegraph report true? You really made a billion dollars?!"
Soros immediately replied incomparably: "Of course it's true, it's obvious!!!"
"Soros, if you want to be more famous, maybe I should help you write an article detailing what you've done in the pound crisis this time!"
Soros thought about it for a while and agreed, "Okay!"
Kelly is the editor of The Times, one of the UK's leading newspapers with a lot of influence.
This sterling crisis not only increased Soros' personal income by more than 1 billion US dollars, but also increased the Quantum Fund by 70%. Fame and fortune! ! ! If The Times reports on Soros and the Quantum Fund, it will not only promote the development of the Quantum Fund and make more wealthy people willing to hand over their wealth to the Quantum Fund, but also let international speculators know Soros. Whatever action the Quantum Fund takes, it will be answered immediately!
In the financial world, many powerful financial tycoons can sometimes make stocks go up or down with just one sentence.
Soros also wants to be such a big man!
Not long after, the phone rang again.
Soros looked at the phone, his expression was shocked, he sat upright, picked up the phone, and said respectfully, "Mr. Li!!"
"Well, it's me!" Li Zetian smiled and said, "You did a good job, congratulations, you have now become the world's hottest financial predator! The name of Soros can almost make Britain tremble!"
"Haha, I don't dare to do it, I still have to thank Mr. Li for your support."
"Hehe, when you return to the United States, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"it is good!"
Li Zetian hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile, "Soros is so courageous, he dares to be in London, England at this time, and he is not afraid of being beaten to death..."
Dongfang Yuqin "puchi" smiled and said: "When he didn't do anything illegal, he just stabbed the pound according to the rules of the financial market. What about the British government? Besides, Soros is so famous now, and he is still an American. The British government is even more It is impossible to catch him outright. Of course, if he dares to hang out on the streets of England with a sign that he is Soros, there is no guarantee that someone will beat him!"
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose, and his eyes showed a hint of amusement, as if he saw Soros being beaten and his nose bruised.
After a while, Li Zetian asked, "How much did we earn this time?"
"Not much, around $5 billion!"
"Well, it's really good."
Li Zetian earned 1.5 trillion US dollars of national distress in the Soviet Union, and naturally he is not very excited about the 5 billion US dollars.
Now, for Li Zetian, money is just a bunch of numbers.
However, he also knows that 1.5 trillion US dollars seems a lot, but if it is used to develop high-tech, the money will be spent quickly. Therefore, it is still not possible to sit and eat deep space. Of course, $1.5 trillion is an astronomical sum, and the annual interest in the bank alone is staggering. However, this method of financial management is naturally not desirable, and the interest of the bank may not be comparable to the depreciation of the currency, so most of the funds will be invested in various ways, such as funds, stocks, gold, bonds, real estate and so on.
Li Zetian has a huge financial management team under his name, and this financial management team controls hundreds of overseas offshore financial institutions. Each financial institution has multiple subsidiaries, and each subsidiary may also have subsidiaries. One layer at a time, Li Zetian's wealth is naturally well managed.
"Mr. Li, SpaceX has been developing for more than a year, and this is the company's current data!" At this time, Dongfang Yuqin took out a document from the folder and handed it to Li Zetian.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Li Zetian has dug up a lot of aerospace talents, and then the Space Exploration Company was established. After the establishment of the company, Li Zetian did not ask too much. These former Soviet talents are far away from their homeland, the country is divided, and they are in a sad mood. It is conceivable that they will definitely not be able to settle down and work. Li Zetian naturally did not expect them to devote themselves to researching technology. After a year of psychotherapy, these people should be much better.
Li Zetian said with satisfaction while reading the information: "Well, yes, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Space Exploration Company continued to attract talents. Now the number of employees is as high as 30,000, which is amazing!"
"In addition to the talents of the former Soviet Union, aerospace and technical talents from all over the world, we can poach them with high salaries!"
After a while, Li Zetian closed the documents and muttered: "Space Exploration Company is involved in civil and military aircraft manufacturing, arms manufacturing, and space development, and the cost is huge!!"
"Yes, those engineers have proposed a lot of research and development projects, and the total budget is tens of billions of dollars!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled bitterly, "This is just the beginning, and as the space exploration company develops and grows in the future, the research projects More and more, I am afraid that the cost is also increasing!"
If he hadn't earned more than trillions of dollars from the Soviet Union, Li Zetian would have never dared to get involved in the aerospace field, especially since he was very ambitious, and he has been involved in multiple industries in a row. , Naturally, it will definitely not develop commercial products in the short term, but pursue technological leadership!
As a result, SpaceX must continue to burn money, not making money, for many years. According to the news that Li Zetian saw on the Internet in his previous life, the research and development cost of the F35 in the United States is as high as 300 to 400 billion US dollars, which is simply astounding.
