America's Road to Wealth

2002, April 5th.

The special department of rock security begins to carry out special work belonging to this department.

Neon, Tokyo.

Neon Bank, Special Economic Action Group, Kuroda Group's office.

Kuroda Akihiko looked a little haggard.

He just wanted to buy tens of thousands of USD/JPY lots, but unexpectedly someone beat him to it.

Since that night, he and several other special economic action teams began working to maintain the stability of the Japanese yen exchange rate and Japanese debt in the international financial market.

There are many special economic action groups similar to the Kuroda Group within Neon Bank, and each one is powerful.

Like the Kuroda Group, his main source of funds is the Neon Zhengfu Pension Investment Fund.

Neon Pension Investment Fund is the world's largest pension fund.

It currently manages approximately $800 billion in pension funds.

This makes the fund surpass the United States Pension Fund, the Norwegian Sovereign Pension Fund, etc., becoming the world's largest public pension investment institution.

This is actually easy to understand.

Neon's economic strength was strong at first, and now it is still the second largest economic power.

Secondly, Neon’s population is aging seriously, so pensions will naturally be larger.

Of course, Kuroda Akihiko's team is not powerful enough to be in charge of the $800 billion in funds alone.

He and his team are just one of many investment managers in this fund.

As one of Neon's largest sovereign funds, Neon Pension Fund has always been one of the main forces in the market to maintain the Japanese yen exchange rate and Japanese bonds.

Like now, when the two square meter animals are in the market, a total of more than 3 million USD/JPY positions have been established.

The Neon Pension Fund also hedged with other Neon national teams in the market and established a huge position of USD/JPY of about 2.6 million lots.

This is the neon authorities' efforts to avoid turmoil in the yen and Japanese debt.

Looking at the market conditions, Kuroda Akihiko no longer has the enthusiasm of the past few days.

Although the USD/JPY has fluctuated recently, its amplitude has become smaller.

But no matter whether it goes long or short, the volatility is still in a strong state.

There has been a big short vs. long hedging before.

This group of guardians was made nervous and extremely nervous.

Akihiko Kuroda now believes that USD/JPY will continue to fluctuate after this major hedging.

If the rice beasts don't give up, they won't be able to rest, and they won't dare to take it lightly.

But what makes Kuroda Akihiko excited and proud is compared with several other economic special operations teams.

The Kuroda team’s results this time were outstanding.

This time their team was responsible for approximately 400,000 USD/JPY positions.

So far, there has been a total profit of 400 points, which amounts to about 2 billion US dollars!

Compared with other groups, there is a slight loss or not much profit.

The Kuroda group is so much better.

So much so that Chairman Yu Hayami couldn't help pinching his nose at the Neon Bank meeting yesterday and praised the Kuroda team for their excellent work under the leadership of Kuroda Akihiko.

This gave Fuyuhiko Kuroda, who had not yet been transferred from Neon Bank and was still the vice president of Neon Bank, a lot of face at the meeting.

Thinking of yesterday’s meeting, I felt so high-spirited when I was praised.

After not sleeping well for several days and nights, Kuroda Akihiko cheered up again and continued to read the market.

Within 24 hours, the trend of USD/JPY was completely in line with his previous mental judgment, which made Kuroda feel a little happy.

This judgment made him decide to put most of his funds on promoting the rise of USD/JPY and start building long positions.

To do this, first of all, the boss gave the order.

After the meeting held yesterday, members of Congress were even present in person.

The upper management of Neon Bank has decided to start going long for the yen and provide support.

In other words, the Neon National Team has begun to select a team.

Instead of jumping left and right like before.

Secondly, Kuroda Akihiko's judgment is that the bulls will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the bears will be suppressed.

In this case, Kuroda is of course following the trend and switching from hedging mode to long mode.

Unite the international bulls and start massacring the bears.

Thinking of this, Kuroda Akihiko immediately made an extra 30,000 lots and went in.

In the market, 30,000 USD/JPY long orders suddenly rushed in.

The USD/JPY immediately rose and reached 124.460.

This fluctuation range is also the middle line that bulls and bears have been maintaining in the past 10 days.

But now Neon Fang has changed his mind.

It no longer maintains the stability of the exchange rate, but moves in one direction.

It is clear that this middle line is no longer sustainable.

…

…

at the same time.

Manhattan, JPMorgan Chase Bank headquarters.

James Robinson was not kicked out of the financial safe house as David demanded.

This is because in Morgan Chase Bank, James belongs to the elite force of the Morgan family.

He was John Cleese's man.

What's more, besides meeting Abel this time.

Over the years, James won more and lost less, making a lot of money for Morgan.

He is one of the best traders in the Morgan camp.

So David wanted to replace James Robinson, but John Cleese didn't agree.

John had been standing behind James and watched him and Abel confront each other.

This made John Cleese understand that it was not that James lacked ability, but that James' enemy was too strong this time.

This is the so-called non-war crime.

For the sake of James' ability, Morgan planned to give him another chance.

So when Kuroda Akihiko directed the traders to enter the market long.

James' eyes are looking at the board.

Because he was long 50,000 lots before, which made USD/JPY rise a little.

Now that the Neon people are beginning to cooperate, the market has risen a lot.

James, who had accumulated too much pressure in the past few days, couldn't help but feel ecstatic at the moment.

At this rate, he could earn hundreds of millions of dollars today.

This is no less than a stimulant for him, who has lost more than a billion dollars in the past week.

So James decided to reward himself.

As he watched the market, James felt anxious.

I glanced at the trend of USD/JPY and immediately felt nervous.

He secretly thought, "Fake, why did you suddenly turn around and come down nearly 40 points!"

This drop caused him to lose 60% of his floating profit today.

Being so frightened immediately subsided.

After some hesitation, James gritted his teeth and ordered to go long 50,000 USD/JPY again.

His decision immediately stabilized the decline of USD/JPY and began to rise by more than ten points.

Then USD/JPY oscillated again.

After James hesitated again, he chose to continue to be long USD/JPY.

…

…

Kuroda Akihiko, who made a similar decision to James, had a sneer on his lips.

James was going long just now, and he also directly went long 100,000 USD/JPY.

The two major forces chose to go long at the same time, making the upward momentum of USD/JPY look completely unstoppable.

"It should be hard for the bears to resist now, right?"

After another minute, Kuroda Akihiko continued to add 10,000 long positions, and USD/JPY broke through the best position for bulls.

Suddenly Kuroda Akihiko was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but smile: "Haha, there is a fight among the rice beasts! It's my turn to make a profit in neon."

But it didn't take long for Kuroda Akihiko to stop laughing.

USD/JPY suddenly saw a lot of selling.

Kuroda's long order was completely wiped out, and USD/JPY plummeted.

In less than 5 minutes, it fell 40 points.

The smile on Kuroda's face suddenly froze, and he coughed twice, which made him so angry that he couldn't help cursing, "Baga!"

Then go ahead and buy USD/JPY! to support USD/JPY.

Different from the previous maintenance of stability, you can jump left and right.

Kuroda Akihiko, who accepted the death mission, now has only one way to go.

Do more, do more, do more!

…

…

James of JPMorgan Chase.

He felt the comfort of his body again and couldn't help but scream a few times. His face was filled with a look of death, and the corners of his mouth were slightly opened with a happy smile.

"Baby, baby, faster! Faster! Hiss—"

James urged his secretary.

Just when James was about to fly.

He seemed to see something incredible. The USD/JPY actually dropped 50 points in five minutes.

This made James feel his body tense immediately, and the happy smile on his face completely froze...

“What’s going on with this Fakshet???????”

His body froze as well as his smile!

At this moment, James felt extremely uncomfortable, just like the tap water faucet was originally running, but suddenly the internal pipe was blocked.

His face turned red!

"We can't let it collapse! Farke!!!"

James reacted quickly and began to buy USD/JPY frantically to support USD/JPY and prevent it from continuing to fall.

And this happened twice in a row, causing him to become completely weak.

The beautiful secretary sighed inwardly, this guy might have a sheep's stomach.

…

…

Right now, far away in San Francisco, California.

One of the core figures of the California Consortium.

Slade Wilson, the patriarch of the Wilson family whose ancestors had great commanders and served as governor of California for many times, was holding a satellite phone and chatting and laughing with the other party.

"... Choosing to close the position at this time is indeed a good choice. I understand you. You are different from me. Slade, I can't leave the market so quickly."

Listening to the voice coming from the microphone, Slade Wilson smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, Abel. This is the greatest help I can give you this time. Then you will have to fight against Neon and those guys alone."

"Compared with these, I appreciate your support on the Federal Reserve Board. You know, that is what I really value." The voice on the microphone said.

"I understand." Slade said in a serious voice:

"Hmph! Now is no different than before. I will support you. Because I understand that supporting you is equivalent to supporting ourselves."

"OK. I'm quite busy here. Hang up first."

"Um."

Putting down the satellite phone, Slade said to his assistant with a smile on his face, "Has our position been closed?"

In the foreign exchange market for US dollars and Japanese yen, the plate is now stacked so big.

The collision between bulls and bears is so intense.

Financial players around the world are not blind or stupid, of course they can see it.

Anyone who is well-informed can know that this is the Texas consortium led by the new investment god to fight against the established giants Morgan and Rockefeller.

Although both sides are terrifyingly strong, most players in the world are afraid of them.

But... almost no one has the courage to confront them head-on.

But following them, watching them, and fishing in troubled waters are too many people.

Slade Wilson's California consortium has strong financial strength and is one of the major international financial players fishing in troubled waters.

The difference is because of Slade's influence.

The California consortium sided with Abel's camp and established a large number of positions.

However, it may be that Slade's influence and voice within the California consortium are not as great as Abel's within the Texas consortium.

It could also be that Slade just wanted to give up.

So since three days ago, the California consortium has been slowly unwinding its positions.

"Mr. Wilson, there are still 10% of the position that has not been closed!"

The assistant said respectfully, with admiration in his eyes.

Fishing in troubled waters this time, Slade's decision helped the California consortium earn more than a billion dollars in a few days.

"Well, it fell too much just now. Let's close the remaining positions tomorrow!"

Slade watched the US dollar/yen almost collapse but remained calm. He looked extremely calm.

Just now he saw that the USD/JPY was rising rapidly, but unexpectedly he closed 300,000 positions and the USD/JPY made a straight U-turn.

He thought that the market would quickly consume his closing orders, but unexpectedly, USD/JPY fell by nearly 50 points before stopping!

"It seems that the US dollar/yen may really have a major correction in the next few days. The current market is very complicated, and there are too many long-term positions waiting to be closed. Fortunately, we were a lot ahead of schedule, otherwise we would have lost a lot of profits. .”

Thinking of this, Slade said to his assistant: "If we can settle it tonight, let's settle it all! From tomorrow on, we won't interfere anymore."

"Yes, sir."

…

…

Singapore, Siloso Beach Marina Villa.

Slade Wilson didn't know why Abel, who was talking to him on the phone, was in a hurry to hang up the satellite communication with him.

In fact, it was because Abel had another, more important call coming in.

At this moment, in the living room of the seaside villa.

"Ha - I thought you would call me. The probability is one in a few hundred, or even one in a thousand. I didn't expect that with such a rare probability, it would actually come true now."

Holding another satellite phone, Abel strolled leisurely in the living room.

His sight penetrated the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the blue sky and sea in the distance.

On the white beach, there are no longer the group of Southeast Asian beauties from the previous few days.

They have been "repatriated".

Because after a few days, everything that Abel should play with and develop in them has been played with.

Abel was tired of it.

Besides, among these Southeast Asian beauties, there was no beauties of that level that he was tempted to collect.

After they are tired of playing, naturally they will be given some benefits, and then they will go back to their respective homes...

"Hahaha - that's not what you said, Mr. Smith. In this world, anything can happen. Besides, there is no irresolvable conflict or contradiction between us, is there?"

"That's right." Abel agreed with a smile:

"So, sir, what do you or do you want to do?"

"Well, I have a proposal here. One that would please both of us."

"Please say."

A few minutes later, Abel hung up the satellite phone and threw it to David, who was not far away.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and let the afternoon sunshine of Singapore shine on his handsome face after being refracted by the glass.

Thinking of the owner of the phone call just now, and what the other party discussed with me.

Abel couldn't help but shook his head, thinking to himself: I'm still a little green, these people can really do anything.

Fortunately, labor and management are involved!

Thinking like this, after a few minutes, Abel motioned to David to bring over the satellite phone.

Within half an hour, Abel made several more phone calls.

"call--"

After these phone calls were made, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take a look inside the financial house, he saw Edward walking in from the main door.

Abel stood still for a moment, waiting for Edward to come to him.

Before Abel could speak, the bodyguard captain whispered to Abel:

"BOSS, things are troublesome. Plan A is not going very well. Although the locals don't pay attention to it, unexpectedly there are Indians from other places looking at the temple. Plan B may have to be used."

Abe's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't seem surprised.

"Then follow Plan B and let Allen and the others come forward. If necessary, I can also choose to go to India."

He knew that Edward was talking about his third brother's side, the Padmanaba Swami Temple.

It was Abel who asked Edward to learn about the real-time progress of the Rock Security Indian team.

After all, it may be a treasure worth hundreds of billions of dollars. If there really is that much and it can be eaten, it is necessary to do whatever it takes.

The original plan A was to take advantage of the neglect of the temple administrators, the Varma royal family, and send people to sneak in to investigate, and then find a way to smuggle it out after finding it.

This is the simplest method, but it may also be the most difficult one.

Although the place is deserted, it is still a temple.

The third brother is generally a devout believer, and many people go to worship in the abandoned temple every day.

With so many people coming and going, it would be a bit fanciful to try to hide it from the truth.

Regarding Plan A, Abel felt that there was a high probability of failure from the very beginning.

So there will be Plan B or even Plan C in the future.

Not to mention the failed plan A, the next plan B may also fail.

Plan B is the Indian branch of American Express. It will go to Kerala in the near future to negotiate with the local government and the Varma royal family to contract the Padmanaba Swamy Temple business.

American Express has strong influence and brand power in major tourist countries around the world.

In addition to its banking business, its strongest business is its high-end travel business.

At that time, American Express will take a fancy to the tourism potential of Padmanabhaswamy Temple.

Offer to contract it and transform it into a famous tourist attraction.

If the negotiation can be concluded, the temple will be renovated at that time.

During renovation.

Send decoration materials inside and pull out some "waste" from inside.

This is completely understandable, isn't it?

The Varma royal family and the Indian authorities will definitely let it go in view of the generous kickbacks.

It’s just that with Third Brother’s urine quality, it may happen later when the American Express Company renovates the temple or the tourist attraction becomes famous.

In other names, they tried every means to take back the temple and kick out the Express Company.

Doing business at the third brother's place.

No matter you are American, Chinese, Neon, British...

It doesn’t matter whether you are a Fortune 500 company, a multinational group, etc...

They will all get stabbed by Third Brother!

Even the richest man in the world is no exception.

Of course, what the third brother is interested in is that the world's richest man will pay for them to build temples and advertise their tourist attractions.

The richest man in the world is not interested in generating income from some shabby tourist attraction. .

But the treasures in the temple.

At that time, everyone will get what they need. You are good and I am good, and everyone can smile. This is called a win-win situation. .

But, how can it be so easy to take advantage of the world's richest man? .
