America's Road to Wealth

There are still many things that Noela doesn’t understand.

Her brother, George Prescott, was there that day, at her father's behest.

Some reluctantly resigned from the position of chairman of the National Youth Representative of the Elephant Party.

Then go to Tarrant County and interview with Pacific Energy Group as an "ordinary person."

Then that night, little Laura, her cousin, whom she had envied and hated for two years.

At the request of his family, he got on a plane and left New York for Asia.

The resentful Noella complained about this, but she did not dare to express it at all.

No need for her grandfather to do anything.

Even the serious father was a presence that Noela did not dare to resist.

So when Noella was angry again.

Little Laura's plane has landed at Changi Airport in Singapore.

Changi Airport is located on Airport Avenue in the East Coast Constituency of Singapore, 17.2 kilometers west of the city center. It is a 4F-level international airport and a large international hub airport.

Little Laura, wearing a white jasmine embroidered silk dress and a pair of sunglasses, walked out of the airport hall with her long, snow-white steps and twisted her graceful waist.

Changi Airport, special exit gate.

Abel smiled and opened the door of the Cadillac Monster. Little Laura bent down and sat in the car, looking up at him, blinking her blue eyes, her thick and curved eyelashes beating, and looking at Abel affectionately.

Then the two dog men and women gnawed together.

The car started, and we went back to the Marina Manor to put our luggage, and then we had dinner together and talked to each other.

Not long after eating, Abel invited her to visit his master bedroom here.

As soon as they entered the master bedroom, the door was not even closed, and the two of them were stuck together.

outside the door.

Tony, the female bodyguard captain of Abel, glanced at Hannah Katherine, the elite female agent of the Secret Service who was standing next to her with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The latter was once an elite agent of FBL. He was beautiful and had a very good figure.

FBl mainly faces domestic crimes in the United States.

Because Abel's rise in wealth was so rapid at that time that it was a bit unscientific and weird.

The head of FBl's New York department suspected that Abel might be involved in some aspect of financial crime.

In addition, Abel's reputation for being a playboy at that time had spread far and wide.

Hannah Katherine, who was pretty enough, outstanding and smart enough, was assigned to Abel's side to act as a spy for FBl.

But later on, Abel became prosperous too quickly.

It also allowed him, who was relatively weak at the time, to gain connections with the Shrub family.

Someone within FBl did not want to offend him, so they transferred Hannah Katherine away from Abel.

Later, her work experience was discovered by little Laura.

Little Laura found a way to get her around.

It’s been almost two years now.

Mainly responsible for the personal security of little Laura.

Dorni tilted her head at Hannah Katherine.

The latter reluctantly stepped forward and gently closed the door of the master bedroom where the two people were watching.

The next day, noon. . .

Since morning, Abel had left the master bedroom and went to the financial safe house to go to work.

In fact, it has been since Neon began to cooperate with Morgan and Rockefeller.

Abel's work was no longer as easy and satisfying as before.

In the past, Abel could only pay attention to the market price two or three times a day and work for only two or three hours.

But after the two sides merged.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, and to control all problems in real time.

Abel spent most of his time in the trading room these days.

This can be said to be the most serious and longest time he has worked since he started his career.

The main reason is that the enemy he faces this time is the national team of the world's second largest economic power.

and a coalition of the world's most powerful financial overlords.

If these two parties cooperate sincerely, they can conquer almost any group on the planet at the financial level.

Of course, that's if someone dares to play with them.

And Abel was one of the few who dared to play with them.

Facing this kind of enemy.

Even if he has a cheating talent, even Abel must be very energetic and focused.

In finance, there are often too many off-market moves that can affect the results within the industry.

Abel is not afraid of changes in the capital market, but he must consider the butterfly effect brought about by other aspects.

Only by always keeping an eye on the market and using talent to monitor the entire process can we ensure that things are within control.

This is also the reason why he let those Southeast Asian beauties leave a few days ago.

At first I was really tired of playing.

Even though most of them are of Chinese descent, the Southeast Asian aboriginal flavor is a bit strong.

There are some surprises at first contact, but after a little familiarity, it becomes easy to get bored.

Where there is insufficient foundation, even a woman's attraction will not last long.

Secondly, he has to start working seriously and doesn't have much time to play with them.

In this case, just let them leave.

In the morning, Abel stayed in the trading room for more than two hours.

After making sure everything is still under control.

Abel went to the gym in the villa.

An hour later, Abel came out of the gym sweating profusely.

I took a shower, then went back to the living room to eat dessert with little Laura, who had just gotten up at noon.

Make him comfortable and don't stress him out.

Abel put the lemon-flavored macaron dessert from the Ladurée shop that had just been delivered from France in the morning into her little mouth.

On the mahogany dining table in front of the two of them, there were more than just Ladurée macarons.

There is also this famous dessert shop in Paris, which has some of its most famous products, such as strawberry mille-feuille, vanilla finger puffs, lemon tarts, etc.

In fact, these well-known products from the Ladurée store are not particularly expensive in Paris.

Most of the middle class people from a decent family can afford it.

Ordinary people can get a taste of it even if they bite the bullet and get paid.

But...that's when one is in Paris.

Sometimes you have to queue up, and sometimes you may not be able to buy something after queuing for a long time because it is sold out.

If you are not in Paris and want to taste Ladurée desserts.

In this world, only those billionaires can do it.

"Forget it. I have work this time, a lot of it. It's no problem to accompany you. If there are more people, I won't have so much time."

Top-quality macarons melt in your mouth and break into pieces as soon as you pinch them. The filling in the middle is dense, soft, light in texture, sticky but not sticky to the teeth.

Little Laura couldn't forget this smell.

Only after following Abel, she could eat the freshest food whenever and wherever she wanted.

In the past, even if she was the daughter of the Bush family, if she wanted to eat food from this dessert shop, she would usually have to go to Paris to buy it in person.

Unlike now, whenever she wants to eat, someone will deliver it to her in the shortest possible time.

No wonder Noella is so jealous of me, she loves Ladurée desserts the most!

After hearing what her fiancé said, little Laura thought about it and said softly:

"Shall I stay with you? You always stay in the trading room. David said that you often stay up late during this period. It's not good for too long. I can massage your shoulders and never disturb your work. "

These days, Abel is indeed more tired than before.

Even little Laura, who was far away in New York, heard how busy he was and often stayed up very late.

"My dear, I went to bed very late and it will affect your rest."

Abel touched little Laura’s little head and said

In the past few days, there hasn't been a day when he didn't stay up late.

First, it’s because of the time difference. Secondly, because of the cooperation between Neon Man, Morgan and Rockefeller, he did feel pressure.

But after all, the enemy this time can be said to be extraordinary.

Even if he relaxed a little yesterday, it was because little Laura came here specially and he took time to accompany her.

"I promise, I will never disturb you!"

Little Laura leaned her head gently into Abel's arms and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay." Abel pinched little Laura's face dotingly.

"You're sleepy. Go to bed early then so as not to affect your body. Got it?"

Abel kissed little Laura’s little face again.

"Yeah." Little Laura said obediently.

Little Laura was very happy to finally be with Abel.

After a while, Abel led little Laura to the trading room of the financial safe house.

There is a thick glass between the trading room and the dozens of traders outside.

Whether it's here or the safe house outside, these two sealed spaces are all shielded by the most advanced radio wave blocking technology.

Except for specially-made encrypted lines, any wireless communication signals cannot pass through normally.

Even the two commercial spies detected by Rock Security previously.

They also use special Morse code to transmit information to the outside world while taking advantage of the hourly personnel replacement.

Entering the safe house and trading room, so to speak.

Apart from going out in person, there is no way to contact the outside world at all.

Abel asked little Laura to play or rest on the sofa next to her.

He himself took a look at the trend of USD/JPY, and his talent for navigating the capital market started accordingly.

The result shocked him.

I couldn't help but speak the native language of my soul that I hadn't spoken in a long time: "I'm in trouble!!"

Little Laura had just sat down on the sofa.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Abel speaking a language she didn't understand.

She knew that it should be Chinese in Huaxia.

Her fiancé, besides English, only speaks one foreign language, and that is Chinese.

Abel frowned slightly and looked at the market conditions on the screen.

At this moment, the USD/JPY market is moving like a roller coaster.

Seeing Abel's surprised look, little Laura asked nervously:

"Dear, what's wrong? How about I go out first."

Did he influence Abel?

"It's nothing, dear, just stay here, hehe."

Abel smiled and pulled little Laura to sit on the large boss chair with him.

The USD/JPY skyrocketed, pulling up a big positive line within an hour.

From the 126.800 position, it rose to the 127.400 position, a total increase of 60 points. The upward trend is still obvious at this moment.

It will soon reach 127.450.

This is the trend for bulls to reach the top.

As a big short seller, Abel should have been worried and scared when he saw this situation.

But now he breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. The order was passed out from the trading room:

"Continue to open a short position against USD/JPY and use as much capital as you can. This is my order, do you hear me?"

Outside the trading room, inside the safe room.

Among Smith Capital's elite traders, many looked at each other in shock when they heard Abel's order.

Even David Mellon, the king's fanatical believer and the leader of the traders, is a little hesitant at the moment.

When he saw his subordinates, they had expressions similar to his own.

David had no choice but to turn around and knock on the door of the trading room where they were commanded.

Dong Dong——

"Come in."

David opened the door and saw the boss and his fiancé hugging each other and sitting on the large boss chair.

"BOSS, I want to ask, are you really going to continue shorting USD/JPY? I want to confirm your order."

It’s been almost half a month. If we count it from the time Smith Capital started to open a USD/JPY contract, it’s been almost two months.

In the past two months, although USD/JPY has been volatile, it has been generally stable.

Generally speaking, the market price hovers around 123-125, occasionally falling below 122 or rising to 126.

But now it has reached 127, and it still looks like it still has energy left, as if it will not give up until it breaks 130.

If it really breaks through 130, then Smith Capital, a big short seller, will be in big trouble this time.

You must know that in the past two months, Smith Capital has placed more than 6 million positions on the market. It is obviously the largest short seller and the absolute main force of the short seller.

Even looking at the entire market, the proportion of as high as 20% in the USD/JPY futures contract, which has exceeded 30 million lots, is scary.

Although the floating losses and floating profits were not very obvious until now.

But just over an hour ago, the 60 points where bulls suddenly surged had caused Smith Capital to lose nearly US$15 billion.

If it breaks through 130, the floating loss will exceed US$40 billion.

Because the situation was so serious, David Mellon had to go to Abel to confirm it in person.

The heir to New York Mellon received the following response:

"Go to work, go do my bidding. Keep going short, this time it's all, all, do you understand?"

Looking at Abel's calm expression, David took a deep breath.

"Understood, my majesty..."

Since this is really Abel's command.

In the capital market, David has long been a fanatical believer in Abel.

He no longer had any doubts, turned around and went out with a firm face, and began to instruct the traders in the safe house, as well as people from other branches in London and New York, to continue to build positions with all their strength and continue to short USD/JPY.

But then, the bad news kept coming one after another...

Bad news for short sellers:

[As of April 7, the number of people filing for initial unemployment benefits in the United States that week (10,000 people)

【Previous value 36.8】

[Expected value 34.5]

[Published value 33.8]

The number of initial jobless claims is one of the indicators reflecting the state of the domestic labor market.

The statistics are the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time.

Since this data is released every week, it is the focus of the investment market. The sharp increase in the number of unemployed people has also increased the financial pressure on the US government.

It is also a test for the U.S. economy suffering from the "double deficit syndrome" and is not good for the U.S. dollar.

This data made USD/JPY move in the long direction again, soaring by more than 30 points.

Smith Capital's floating losses exceeded US$25 billion.

Bad news two:

[Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan gave a speech and said that inflation in the United States is beginning to ease, but he expects this to be a long process. He also warned that if economic data does not cooperate, interest rates may be raised more than market expectations. 】

U.S. dollar interest rate hikes have always caused the U.S. dollar to appreciate relative to other currencies, even if the Federal Reserve has not yet made it clear that it will take specific actions.

Alan Greenspan's speech still caused the USD/JPY to rise again by more than ten points within ten minutes.

Smith Capital suffered a floating loss of more than US$27 billion.

Bad news three: [The Bank for International Settlements has spoken out that the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy tightening may not be over yet. 】

Bad news four: [Crude oil maintained its recent decline on Wednesday, trading at about a barrel...]

Bad news five: [……]

Bad news came one after another, but Smith Capital continued to short USD/JPY on a large scale, tens of thousands of lots, tens of thousands of lots...
