Soros’ attack on the British pound was a great success, because at this time in Europe, on the one hand, because of the aftermath of the “Asian Financial Crisis”, most investors were very concerned about the fluctuations in the financial market and Soros’s goals. Sensitive, as soon as there is a turmoil, he escapes faster than anyone else; on the other hand, Britain does have its own problems. This old capitalist power, the former world hegemon, and the “sun never set” empire are now completely one. The economy has been sluggish for many years, and the government has been heavily indebted. The total debt has reached 80% of its annual GDP. The exchange rate of the pound sterling has remained at a high level because of Britain’s participation in the "European exchange rate system." , And this higher exchange rate is obviously not conducive to the British economy. After all, a strong exchange rate is detrimental to exports. This is a very simple and simple economic principle.

In other words, it is a good way to solve the current domestic economic problems by appropriately lowering the exchange rate of Britain, but unfortunately, this good method that everyone knows cannot be used—because it is a signatory country of the European exchange rate system, and the euro The exchange rate between them is not what he said. It needs the consent of the European Central Bank system. Even adjusting the bank interest rate is the same. This makes Britain almost lose one of the best financial tools to regulate its own economy. , This is also an important reason why Britain has not caught a cold with the euro.

In Soros’s view, the problem that Britain is facing now represents one thing-the pound has room and momentum to fall, but it cannot be realized because of the **** of a treaty. That’s okay. Treaties or something. Soros seems to be no different from waste paper, and the overvalued pound exchange rate is an excellent target for robbery. Soros feels a bit sorry for himself if he doesn't grab a hand.

Speaking of grabbing, it’s absolutely unambiguous. Soros’ actions are quick and as sharp and fierce as ever. In addition, there is also the Rothschild family in Britain, who has always put their own interests above the national interests. , I had sufficient funds again, so it took only a few days to press the British pound on the floor and rub it at will...

Faced with rapidly depleting foreign exchange reserves, the British government reluctantly announced that the British pound would withdraw from the "European exchange rate system" and implement free market-based floating-in fact, it would raise a white flag to surrender and default to a fall in the pound exchange rate.

After winning the First World War, Soros made persistent efforts, and then aimed at another European power and also an important core member of the "euro zone"-Yili.

I need to explain here. Although the euro was officially issued and activated on January 1, 1999, the countries in the "euro zone" did not immediately suspend their original currencies. In order to smooth the transition, according to the agreement, there is a three-year During the transition period, during this period, the original national currency and the euro are in circulation at the same time on the market and exchanged at a fixed exchange rate.

This leaves Soros with plenty of room to execute the attack plan. Although Yili is also a world-renowned industrial power, the current situation in this country is very similar to that of Britain, with weak economic growth and high government debt accumulation for many years. , And are locked in a fixed exchange rate treaty, unable to adjust the economy by actively adjusting exchange rates and bank deposit and loan interest rates. Therefore, with the strong euro, the national currency is actually in an overvalued state.

Under Soros’ fierce attack, the people of Yili were quickly defeated. Just like the country’s usual style, they raised the white flag without any psychological burden and announced that the Yilira would withdraw from the "European exchange rate system" and implement it. Liberalized and market-oriented exchange rate policy.

If the withdrawal of the pound sterling is still within the range that the "EU" can barely tolerate, the withdrawal there is a heavy blow that the "Euro" cannot bear.

Because the pound was originally a member of the "European exchange rate system" but not a member of the "euro zone", its withdrawal only affects the mutual settlement between the euro and the pound, and the impact on the euro is indirect, but the lira is different. The original currency unit that constitutes the core of the euro. The change in the exchange rate between it and the euro and the US dollar has a direct impact on the credit and valuation of the euro. It can even be said that it is critical and fatal!

Sure enough, as the exchange rate of the Italian Lira plummeted, the exchange rate of the Euro also plummeted immediately, and soon fell below 1:1.10 against the U.S. dollar.

And Soros’s attack also caused serious dissatisfaction among many people in the European Union: You black-hearted Americans, everyone said that they are comrades-in-arms, but why the front is still fighting in the same trench, the rear You just stabbed a knife in the heart of your allies?

But for this kind of thing, complaints fall into complaints. Europeans actually know why the Americans want to stab the knife. As the saying goes, "the world is all for profit, and the world is for profit." You move With other people’s cake, can you expect others to welcome you with a smile?

Besides, in the ongoing Kosovo War, Europe also wants the United States. For the sake of the overall situation, let’s be patient. We will try our best to do a good job in defense of the financial sector. In addition, we will also increase some assistance to Italy, let them first Let's pass this level...

In another time and space, after some intrigue between the EU and the United States, they finally reached a temporary compromise. The situation has not deteriorated to the point of irreconcilability. The two sides can still maintain the superficial harmony, only cheaper than Soros. The Wall Street Financial Group returned triumphantly after a robbery in Europe, but this time and space is different.

Because in this time and space, there is Tan Zhenhua, a monster.

Tan Er is here, if you don't disturb it, it won't be finished!

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Tan Zhenhua’s plan to choose a side team, Soros, who knew his energy well, fell into a brief silence. After some calculations, he made the decision that best suits his current interests: "Eri K, I hope you will be on our side this time."

"it is good!"

Tan Zhenhua's answer is simple, clear and clear.

"But I have one condition..."

"I knew it would be like this." After hanging up the phone, Soros couldn't help but put a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. The man's style remained the same as before, never changed.

At the same time, even greater ambition arose uncontrollably in his heart.

He turned around and looked at the large map of Europe temporarily hung on the front wall, looking at the series of small countries on it-Greece, Spain, Vine, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Finland, Malta, Cyprus...

Let the storm come harder!

Soros clenched his fists.
