America's Road to Wealth

Manhattan is home to world-famous large companies, banks, insurance companies and stock exchanges. With skyscrapers standing tall, it is known as the "Standing City".

After the European Verrazano arrived in New York Harbor by ship in 1524 AD, Manhattan began its pioneering era. The Dutch were the first to arrive and sent fur traders to set up a fur trading post here. At that time, Indians dressed like punks walked through Manhattan along today's Broadway Street. The Dutch bought trinkets worth 24 US dollars from the Indians. Manhattan, known as New Amsterdam, was soon occupied by the British and renamed New York.

Manhattan has always been the center of New York, then and now.

South Pier, off South Street in Manhattan, is the starting point for access to the ocean and features many piers.

Among the many docks, Pier 15 is a port dedicated to berthing small and medium-sized yachts and belongs to a private company.

At least one-third of Manhattan's private yachts are anchored here.

Standing on the pier of Pier 15.

John Chris Morgan looked at the beautiful Beneteau Lagoon catamaran in front of him and couldn't help but said:

"Hey, the new ones are indeed much more beautiful. My two old ones are a bit out of date now."

The visiting financial monster is the head of the Morgan family.

In fact, John Cleese has always been the person between Rockefeller and Morgan who has the most contact with Abel.

Whenever I have any ideas over there and want to communicate with Abel, this little old man always calls me.

John Cleese is much younger than David. David is eighty, and he is only in his 50s.

Strictly speaking, he is the same age as George and Alexander.

"You came all the way from Long Island just to see my new boat, right? If you want to see it, there are even more beautiful ones later."

Abel preached casually.

He didn't let the little old man get on the boat.

The Lagoon catamaran is very beautiful and big, but it is just a large sailing boat, not a yacht.

The size is actually just that, much smaller than many modern yachts.

There were his women on the sailboat, and he wouldn't let John Cleese go aboard.

"That's what you are like. Too direct."

John Cleese had no choice but to tell him why he had come.

"Let Morgan Stanley join you and Soros in their actions."

Abel raised his eyebrows.

He and Soros have been planning their attack on the pound since April.

It was almost time to close the net, and the little old man suddenly wanted to join in. Of course, Abel felt it was a bit sudden.

But Abel also knew that there was actually no harm in bringing Morgan into this kind of thing.

At that time, Soros, Abel Smith, Morgan, and a large amount of international hot money will all target the pound.

Even if they want to retaliate, the British government must consider the consequences.

And... I don’t know what the British will think when they find out that part of the money shorting their currency comes from some secret fund account of the Windsor family.

But in fact, this kind of thing is very common in major capital countries.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the United States. When shorting the U.S. dollar and U.S. stocks, the most active ones are actually the major U.S. oligarchs.

"Are you sure? It's too late for you to enter now." Abel said softly.

Sniping the pound is a big business, involving hundreds of billions of dollars in capital flows.

But if you have to say it’s small, that’s okay.

The British pound is actually relatively stable, and the British economy is not as bad as it will be in the future.

There are still three pounds of nails in the broken ship, and there is still a little bit of the Great Yin Empire's heritage.

Even if Abel and Soros succeed in sniping, the profit will only be around tens of billions of dollars, which will not be as exaggerated as the last USD/JPY.

With profits of tens of billions of dollars, a company is very rich.

Both companies can also be considered very good.

If there are so many people sharing it together, it will be relatively small.

Logically speaking, the profit is not very high, and the British may be offended by this, so Abel should not be willing to do it given his character.

He is not short of profit or pound.

"Haha——" John Cleese chuckled and replied:

"It's true that the profits may not be huge. But the reason why I joined is the same as you, dear Abel. Bank of America and the California consortium are very resistant. We have to look at the Europeans. Just in time. You are messing with the British, of course we choose to join.”

Looking at John Cleese, Abel already had some idea.

He judged that this little old man should not lie.

The two sides had confessed to each other earlier in Washington.

Everyone covets the California consortium, which is actually normal.

If it were the Texans or Morgans who had a flaw, the Californians would also want to take a bite if they had the opportunity.

The monster of capital is like this, devouring and proliferating, devouring and proliferating, infinitely expanding, and madly pursuing profits and more money.

Once you get in the car, there is no way to get out.

Only when you reach the end of the road and die, will you stop the pace of endless devouring.

At that time, the two parties "agreed" that Abel's target was Wells Fargo and he would try it through the Wilson family.

So far, the progress is pretty good.

The general manager of Wells Fargo New York Branch was very cooperative.

She screamed every night on the top floor of the Smith Tower.

When she screamed, her high-pitched voice made even Avril Lavigne and Britney live there sometimes put them to shame.

The general manager lady in this state may become pregnant at any time...

When she becomes pregnant, Abel's plan can take the next step.

At that time, Morgan and Rockefeller targeted Bank of America.

Bank of America is more attractive than Wells Fargo, and it is certainly more difficult to hack than Wells Fargo.

Now it seems that Morgan and Rockefeller's actions were not so smooth.

"So..." After thinking about it, Abel didn't intend to refuse them, "What is your goal?"

"Barclays and HSBC." John Cleese was also very calm.

Abel actually had little idea of ​​the two goals reported by the little old man.

Hearing the name HSBC now reminds Abel of his time on Hong Kong Island.

The global chairman of HSBC made a special trip to Hong Kong Island to find his own business.

Think about it, Abel now knows who laid a trap for HSBC in the United States.

Looking at John Cleese like this, there is no doubt that he is one of them.

"I want it from HSBC too. We can share it." Abel replied softly.

As mentioned before, even if they succeed in attacking the pound this time with Soros, the profit will not be too big.

It may also offend the British government, which is something Abel would not do. But Abel still took the initiative to initiate this action.

The reason is that he wants some high-quality British industries!

That's right, the profits from sniping against the British pound are not very large.

However, in the massive sniper operation, some high-quality industries in the UK will be greatly impacted.

On impact is the best time for them, the hunters, to get hold of them or at least invade and affect them.

John Chris came to the door with this purpose.

That is, in the process of harvesting operations and sniping pounds, they all want to wait for an opportunity to see if they can hunt the prey they want.

Just like Abel wanted to get some shares in high-quality companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Sainsbury's, Rio Tinto, Burberry, Vodafone, Unilever, BP, etc...

Well, he has a little too much "some".

Similarly, Morgan also wants to acquire shares in these high-quality British companies.

This is the real reason why both parties joined in, and Abel even took the initiative to launch this sniping operation against the pound.

That's why Abel didn't pay so much attention to profits and let Soros host it in London while he ran back to the United States.

He just wants to be a female cousin and build a chastity memorial.

In fact, many times, the reason why Soros and others can be so arrogant is because they have the support of many such giants.

Soros took the lead in the charge - international hot money followed - and after success, the giants entered the market to harvest high-quality assets.

This set of three axes is the United States’ trick to harvest the world through the tide of US dollars.

"Okay, then it's settled." John Chris was also happy.

We are still in the honeymoon period and our relationship is very good.

It's a good thing that can bring benefits to both parties, so of course it won't be too verbose.

The specific details and work are handled by subordinate employees.

These big guys are only responsible for one intention and some general actions.

After negotiating the terms, John Cleese did not stay any longer.

Before noon, the head of the Morgen family said goodbye with a smile and left.

After such an episode by John Cleese.

Abel also restrained himself from the idea of ​​returning to the Lagoon catamaran and continuing to have fun with his Hollywood themes.

As you return to Smith Tower, you pass by the ruins of the Twin Towers.

It has been almost a year since the big event happened.

The pollution caused by the explosion and collapse of the building has not completely dissipated yet.

The demolition and reconstruction projects of the ruins are still ongoing. I have to say that after entering the new century, the empire's work efficiency in all aspects without rivals has really become more and more lagging.

If it were Huaxia, this project would probably be completed in half a year at most.

As for the United States, Abel remembered that in parallel time and space, it took a long time to clear out the ruins of the Twins.

It took some time to build a memorial park in the shape of a pool based on the ruins.

Return to Smith Tower and take the chairman's elevator directly to Smith Capital's office.

Abel called for David Mellon and several other executives.

In the conference hall of Smith Capital, the video conference was started again.

Before the meeting officially started, Abel looked at the trend charts of various foreign exchange varieties on the laptop screen placed on the desk in front of him.

Now he has a huge cash flow of US$113 billion on hand.

This is unique among financial companies around the world.

On the surface, there are only a few companies such as Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway that can compare with him.

Not to mention, he can now carry out financing mortgages and margin transactions through Smith Financial Group, even JPMorgan Chase, and other cooperative banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

If he fights for his life, now Abel can even leverage trillions of dollars in funds for transactions.

It's a pity that there is no financial market in this world that can accommodate such a huge amount of funds at once and continue trading operations.

With trillions of dollars of terrorist funds, the foreign exchange market, futures market, and even the U.S. stock market will not be able to tolerate it in a short time.

So in fact, the funds used in most of his financial actions now generally range from tens to hundreds of billions of dollars.

If you do more, you won’t be speculating in stocks or investing, but you will directly be a banker and boss.

At the same time, this 113 billion US dollars of funds is used to avoid supervision and not to pay huge and terrifying taxes in the United States.

It is dispersed in tens of thousands of accounts around the world. When necessary, it will gather together crazily, gathering less and becoming more, becoming the terrifying dollar giant.

Most of it, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars, is still outside the United States.

Domestic funds in the United States currently amount to less than $20 billion.

This is done to avoid taxes. Secondly, he is now in the United States and it is easy to get money if he wants.

If Smith Capital conducts one or two more private placements, it will be easy to obtain tens of billions of dollars in custody funds.

Again, you can also get a mortgage loan.

In the operation to attack the pound, Smith Financial Group's overseas accounts have invested approximately tens of billions of dollars.

He had already held a video conference in the morning to learn about the progress in this regard, and also made a satellite phone call with Soros on the way.

So far so good.

In fact, it is not that the British government did not discover their little tricks.

On the contrary, the British, who built their country on finance, have discovered it long ago.

Just like when they were sniped by Soros in the 1990s, they chose to mess up...

The British attitude is very clear now, that is, you can do whatever you want without going too far beyond the line.

They also believe that Americans will not cross the line too much, because the current City of London is basically a clone of Wall Street.

Even if the Americans want to attack the pound, for this reason, they will not be as ruthless as when they target other currencies.

This is also one of the reasons why the profits from this operation will not be too much.

Who said that the Great Yin Empire and the United States are now completely conjugated as father and son?

There was already a meeting in the morning, and now a video conference has been initiated.

It was Abel who planned to add a new battlefield for Smith Capital in addition to the long-term increase in gold positions and the short-term sniping of the pound.

This time, Abel is targeting the Canadian dollar.

As its name suggests, the Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada and one of the most actively traded currencies in the foreign exchange market.

Although it is not as good as the euro, yen, and pound, it is still firmly in the front.

Abel looked at the U.S. dollar index. The U.S. dollar index has begun to rise recently, which means that the U.S. dollar is slowly starting to strengthen again.

In addition, the relationship between oil prices and the Canadian dollar is relatively close. Falling oil prices will drag down the Canadian dollar.

The recent war in Afghanistan and Afghanistan has begun to take shape.

The investment market feels that the scene that happened in the Red Empire more than 20 years ago may happen again in the Blue Empire.

This has caused international crude oil prices to continue to decline after rising wildly.

It began to be suppressed from the high of 38.81 US dollars per barrel. The position of 30.81 coincides with the 20 moving average on the daily chart and the strong resistance position formed by the 30 moving average. Many international financial institutions also began to cooperate to suppress crude oil.

The Canadian dollar also fell.

Because among the current top ten industrial countries (G10) in the world, there are only two net oil exporters, one is Norway and the other is Canada.

The currency exchange rates of these two countries are basically tied to the price of oil.

Therefore, the market generally regards the Canadian dollar as an "oil currency" whose trend is generally consistent with that of crude oil futures.

"International crude oil fell, and oil currencies fluctuated."

Abel made up his mind and said, "There are things London is doing over there. We can't be idle here either. Your target this time is the Canadian dollar. David, I will give you a quota of 10 billion U.S. dollars. I hope you can contribute to it." Smith Capital brings back enough profits.”

David Mellon was the first to nod yes.

Now Smith Capital no longer needs Abel to personally direct every time.

Except for those that matter, such as the last USD/JPY level transaction.

Other normal investments are now handled by David and the company’s elite.

All Abel has to do is to keep an eye on their work, grasp the general direction, and prevent them from causing too many losses to the company.

This is actually normal. After all, it is no longer the time for him to start from scratch.

The amount of funds reaches a certain level, as long as you don't encounter a black swan. The party with more money will make crazy money in the financial market.

Even if there is no Abel, no black swan, no one deliberately ambush and snipe.

Today's Smith Capital, one of the seven largest investment banks on Wall Street, will only continue to be strong.

Yes, Smith Capital is now an investment bank affiliated with Smith Financial Group.

Along with Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, it is already known as the Seven Sons of Wall Street Investment Banks.

Smith Bank is a commercial bank affiliated with Smith Financial Group.

The positioning is similar to Morgan Stanley and Morgan Chase on the other side of Morgan and Rockefeller.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

After completing the tour of Smith Tower.

Abel asked David, who had been following him, "What other plans do I have this afternoon?"

David Jones immediately replied: "At 4:00 pm, Mr. Paulson, chairman of Goldman Sachs, invited you to have afternoon tea, and you agreed. At 5:00 pm, there was a press conference for the IPO of Smith Media, and you agreed to Levin. The gentleman will appear. At 5:30 p.m., Mr. Robert Morgenthau..."

"Hold on, I remember Kayla said yesterday that she wanted to watch the New York Giants game?"

"Yes. You didn't agree immediately."

"Then let's change the schedule. I worked all day today, and I don't want to work in the afternoon. Go tell Kayla that I am willing to accompany her to watch the football game."

David smiled and nodded immediately.

Half an hour later.

Manhattan, 180 Madison Avenue, downstairs from the headquarters of Wells Fargo Bank New York Branch.

As one of the largest commercial banks in the United States, Wells Fargo has many branches in Manhattan and even hundreds of branches throughout New York.

180 Madison Avenue is the head office of Wells Fargo New York Branch, which manages hundreds of branches throughout New York.

Miss Kayla Wilson, who is only 25 years old this year, officially took office here not long ago and became the first person in charge of Wells Fargo Bank in New York.

Three black Cadillac cars stopped in front of Wells Fargo Bank.

A few minutes later, the president's lady came out.

After another ten minutes, the convoy arrived at the Smith Tower not far away.

Soon, she came to the helicopter berth on the upper floor of the building.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Kayla, who was wearing a pair of blue nine-point pants, a white crew-neck sweater, and a dark blue waisted coat, was gently supported by Abel and sat into the luxuriously decorated helicopter.

The helicopter took off, targeting New York's Metropolitan Stadium.

Fast forward a bit, it won't end so quickly... there are many things I want to write that haven't been written yet.
