America's Road to Wealth

"Really, you ate so much. Adam will have nothing to eat later!"

Inside the rear compartment of a modified Cadillac Escalade SUV.

Li Fuzhen complained as she put on her shirt.

"You can drink milk powder." Abel hugged her and her sister and said happily.

At this time, there was a teasing voice from my sister-in-law: "When Adam grows up, I will tell him. When he was young, his father often robbed him of food!"

As a result, Abel said to her, "Don't worry, you will be like this in the future."

These words made Li Xinyu's face even redder.

The three of them laughed and chattered a few more times, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

After more than an hour of galloping, the convoy drove into a ridge surrounded by lush vegetation and tall trees near Malibu Beach.

On the mountain, except for a two-lane winding road, it is surrounded by trees, and the dazzling sunlight is completely blocked by the leaves.

In front of the big iron gate near the top of the mountain, a bodyguard jumped out of the front car of the convoy, walked to the gate, looked up at the camera on the pillar in front of the gate, said something, and made a gesture before listening. With the sound of "click", the electronic lock on the big iron gate was opened, and the bodyguard quickly pushed open the two gates, stood aside, and watched the convoy enter.

Li Fuzhen looked at the scenery outside the car window. After the car drove uphill for five minutes, he saw a large area of ​​buildings. The entire mansion covers a very large area, with a huge outdoor swimming pool with wooden planks and wooden sunshades, tennis courts, The basketball courts are divided into their own areas by vegetation.

It consists of three connected individual modern style buildings, the middle one is a three-story main building, one on both sides is a two-story guest room, and the other is a bodyguard and servant building.

It is indeed luxurious enough to occupy the entire mountain top, the scenery and location are excellent, and the security and privacy are completely full.

Li Xinyu got out of the car and looked at the mansion filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. Even though she was from the Li family, the most wealthy family in Han country, seeing such a house at this time, she was sincerely impressed.

He glanced at Abel, who was carrying a baby basket and hugging his sister Li Fu, who was talking and laughing as he introduced him.

She also sighed a little at this bastard's generosity to curry favor with women.

From a woman's point of view, Li Xinyu felt that when faced with this kind of man, no kind of woman could resist.

It's the same even for wealthy princesses, because most of the wealthy princesses rarely enjoy such super generous treatment.

Especially those from Han country, even the so-called wealthy chaebols, compared with their counterparts outside of Han country, they look a bit shabby.

Senior workers are not joking, on the side of wealth. Even the Li family, which is number one in Han country, is not as good as many billionaires in some European and American countries.

This is caused by the gap in the background of the country and the involuntary situation.

Li Xinyu knew that she couldn't change these things.

At this moment, she was still feeling amazed and moved. Even though she had enjoyed these treatments many times, she still couldn't avoid such feelings at this time.

This kind of treatment has completely deviated from the scope of normal life. Even if it is me and my sister who are not short of money, they cannot remain indifferent when facing this kind of super luxury house.

"A great house." Li Fuzhen said with a smile on his face, looking sideways at Abel.

"It's fine if you like it, let's go, the sun outside is a bit dazzling, let's go inside and have a look."

The sunshine in California is not a joke. Although it is not sweltering, the ultraviolet rays are also first-class.

Even more so in places like Malibu Beach.

Abel smiled, handed the baby to the nanny next to him, then held Li Fuzhen's recovered slender waist with his right hand, and walked towards the main building with his left hand holding his sister-in-law's slender waist.

noon.

Li Fuzhen walked out of the bathroom wearing a silk bathrobe, her hair was a little wet, and she was surprised to see Abel laying on Simmons, teasing and laughing, but only looked at his father's little Adam with wide and clear eyes.

"Did you finish Jessica? It seems like it took less than an hour. This is not like your style." Li Fu gave Abel an angry look.

Come back here at noon.

Her younger sister was taken into the next room by Abra, and she nicknamed it "a long absence is better than a newlywed".

She temporarily escaped death because she had to take care of the child and breastfeed Adam.

"Jessica's fighting ability is very poor, and it only takes half an hour to deal with her at most. And seriously, my dear, I love you more."

Abel smiled and said that even ten minutes ago, he was still on her sister's body.

Although he knew that what this guy said was probably just sweet talk, but Li Fu really liked it.

Even though she knew it was a bit fake, her heart was still filled with sweetness and happiness.

Walking to Simmons, she pushed Abel away with a smirk on his face, picked up little Adam who was still looking around, patted him a few times, and sat in front of the dressing table.

Opening the skirt of the bathrobe, little Adam's eyes became brighter, he came back with his mouth open and shook his little head a few times, and began to eat impatiently.

"Hey, didn't you just say feed? Why are you still eating?"

"It might have been because of the plane ride and the car ride just now. He didn't eat much, and now he has to make up for it."

While the two were talking, Adam stared at Abel's smiling face with his big eyes. Seeing Abel making faces at him, the little baby stopped eating.

"Honey, go to the side first! Don't make trouble, I have to feed our children before I can feed you."

Li Fuzhen patted little Adam a few times, worried about being choked, so she frowned helplessly, and said to Abel.

"Ok, ok, ok." Abel said a few times in a slightly embarrassing manner, stopped the boring behavior of continuing to tease his son, and took a few steps back to fall on the generous Simmons.

Looking back at his mixed-race son who was eating, and Li Fuzhen, who was completely different from his usual cool image, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

In the afternoon, although I said I wanted to rest for a while, I stopped working.

But I don't know if it's because of a big family and a big business, or a little change in personality.

From this Malibu Beach mansion, Abel directs Smith Capital's London and New York work from a distance.

It is mainly Smith Capital, which is shorting the Canadian dollar.

Compared with the overall virtual economy, the industry is almost equivalent to Britain without it. Canada, which is still transforming into an energy exporting country, has a good industrial strength at this time.

The consequence of good industrial strength is that in terms of economy, the industrial country is more stable than the agricultural and energy countries.

After the Canadian authorities took action, a group of international speculators headed by Abel came under attack for shorting the Canadian dollar.

Canada, which has both energy and industry, still has strong financial strength.

Thanks to the progress of the times and the development of science and technology. After the millennium, the future model of mobile Internet and Internet stock trading can already be used by Abel.

This allows him to direct the employees of Smith Capital to conduct financial transactions without being in New York or London, or other financial cities.

Lying on his own boss chair, he commanded Fang through video conference and phone call.

Abel is massively long USD/CAD, AUD/CAD, CHF/CAD, EUR/CAD, GBP/CAD.

In the foreign exchange market, choosing which currency pair to go long also means shorting the foreign exchange behind the currency pair.

For example, if Abel is long USD/CAD right now, he is actually shorting the Canadian dollar.

In this currency pair, when the U.S. dollar rises, the Canadian dollar falls, and vice versa.

If Abe is short USD/CAD, it becomes long CAD and short USD.

At the same moment, several traders in the foreign exchange trading department of Brookfield Asset Management, Canada's largest hedge fund company, were also staring intently at the USD/CAD trend chart.

They are frantically shorting USD/CAD, and every time USD/CAD rises, they are severely suppressed.

Now it is a fierce game with the USD/CAD bulls in the market.

Brookfield Asset Management is headquartered in Canada. Is a global asset management company, mainly involved in property, power and other infrastructure, private equity funds.

This asset management company currently manages approximately US$100 billion in assets.

"Hey, Des! There are a lot of new USD/CAD bulls out there! We are in a bad situation!" a trader said to their team leader, Des.

Now USD/CAD is at 1.0859, USD/CAD has risen for 4 consecutive days, and their average opening position is at 1.0630. At present, there has been a floating loss of 229 points.

Previously, USD/CAD has been hovering at a low level and fluctuated for more than a month. They are now short USD/CAD, which is dead long CAD.

He happened to be an enemy with Abel, a dead short.

But I didn’t expect that just last week, USD/CAD began to break through the highest position of last month at 1.0710 as if taking a stimulant. Then it began to rise sharply, and many USD/CAD shorts stopped their losses , but they didn't stop the loss, they kept fighting to the death.

Even if they actually knew, at this moment, facing them was probably that terrifying investment god.

But they didn't choose to back down, it wasn't that they were having trouble with money, or that they wanted to kill God... this has reservations.

But this time, the Brookfield company temporarily became one of the national teams hired by the Canadian authorities.

The Canadian authorities, with the benefits that Brookfield Company could not refuse, let Brookfield Company join the battlefield to help do more Canadian dollars and fight against the international Canadian dollar shorts headed by Abel.

Not only Brookfield has received similar tasks, but many of Canada's own financial companies have received similar tasks.

"Des, there are more and more bulls entering the market now, what should we do today?"

Another trader asked nervously, the USD/CAD has been fluctuating in the past two days, and they are also increasing their positions to short the USD/CAD, but now that the bulls are making efforts again, they are a little powerless.

Many other traders also expressed their opinions. Des was standing in the middle of the trading room at the moment, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking at the trend chart of USD/CAD with a solemn expression.

He is only 33 years old this year, and he was born in an ordinary working family. He was a bad boy since he was a child, and he liked to take risks and gamble.

This character trait is a disadvantage in many industries. But in the financial industry, these qualities can sometimes turn into strengths.

Later, Des graduated from St. Mary's University in Canada. After graduation, he worked in many banks in Canada. This year is his eighth year in financial transactions.

Des had experienced big losses on the stock index several times, and his personal account was also liquidated. He was also chased by customers who came to his door and asked him to compensate for the loss. For this reason, he almost went to jail.

Although he encountered many twists and turns in the early stage of his career, he rose rapidly later, and now he has joined Brookfield Asset Management for 3 years.

His performance is very good, and he is highly appreciated by the top leaders. He became the head of the foreign exchange trading department of Brookfield Asset Management last year, controlling 20 billion US dollars of funds for foreign exchange transactions.

Although this time it was the task of the Canadian authorities to ensure that the Canadian dollar exchange rate would not be sniped too hard.

But in the heart of the bad boy Des, it is possible that he does not have the idea of ​​"killing gods".

Only once, because only once, can defeat Abel Smith in the capital battlefield of financial operations.

That's enough for his bad boy, Des, to become famous in the global financial market and become a new legend.

Even though he knew it was not easy, Des still wanted to try it.

What's more, with the support of the Canadian authorities and Brookfield Company, the financial and policy support is full.

Des is more willing to take risks.

It's not his loss if he loses, and if he wins, he will make a lot of money.

Most people on Wall Street, or financial practitioners, have this mentality to some extent.

"Continue to increase positions and short USD/CAD." Des took another sip of coffee and said in a deep voice: "Short some crosses at the same time, put AUD/CAD, CHF/CAD, EUR/CAD, GBP/CAD Suppress them all!"

He looks very confident. The past few years have been smooth, and he firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his judgment.

Today, international crude oil is still at a high level of around US$26 per barrel, and many Canadian crude oil producers have made a fortune. Dess believes that even from the perspective of market conditions, we should continue to look long on the Canadian dollar and bearish on the US dollar/Canadian dollar!

Naturally, he would not choose to do hedging transactions in the crude oil market and go long USD/CAD!

The Canadian dollar is closely related to the price of international crude oil. When the crude oil price rises, the Canadian dollar will also strengthen. Now that the international crude oil is still at a high level, Des is not worried about the rise of the US dollar/Canadian dollar at all.

Moreover, the US dollar/index has not been very strong recently. Some time ago, the US dollar/yen even experienced a short-term sharp drop, Black Friday.

Since then, the dollar has been weakening, showing signs of weakness. Des also regretted this, why didn't he short the US dollar/yen at that time! Such a profitable opportunity was missed!

At that time, the dollar/yen fell by more than 600 points, and the profit was unimaginable.

But now that the U.S. dollar index is picking up again, the bulls of USD/CAD are also increasing, especially after many people know that Abel Smith shorted the Canadian dollar, many international speculators joined.

This put pressure on the Canadian authorities and companies like Brookfield.

It's just that after all, I received the mission, and now I'm a little stuck.

Des can only choose one way to go to the dark.

"Okay!" Everyone looked at the group leader's words and nodded.

Someone took the blame, the stones in the traders' hearts fell, and they began to type on the keyboard busy.

They are responsible for different types of Canadian dollars, some are responsible for shorting USD/CAD, some are responsible for shorting AUD/CAD, some are responsible for shorting CHF/CAD, or EUR/CAD, or GBP/CAD.

They all cooperate very well!

In less than an hour and a half, USD/CAD was suppressed by them and fell to the 1.0840 position.
