Chapter 121 The Value of the Upper Three Banners
Two women discussing forming an alliance.
New York, Manhattan, Wall Street.
Inside Paladin Investment Company.
Milo looked at the conference room which had been transformed into a combat command center. Directly in front of him was a row of mobile writing boards covered with various large data charts.
There are three rows of desks, with five people in each row. Each desk has a telephone, a computer, a fax machine, and a printer.
The people coming in and out were all holding documents in their hands, jogging with their shirt sleeves rolled up, creating an extremely busy scene.
Just like any other financial firm on Wall Street.
Wendy and Shabote stood beside Milo respectively. Nelson, the general manager of Paladin Investment, said with a smile:
"Boss, I only thought of this thanks to your suggestion to send all kinds of data to the newspaper. Use the resources of the newspaper to always get first-hand information. After all, those reporters are the best at finding news. Haha, U.S. News and World Report is worthy of being one of the three major weekly magazines. Their reporter team is very strong."
"They are backed by Washington and can get first-hand information from the White House and Capitol Hill. In many cases, their sense of smell in this regard is more sensitive than that of Wall Street."
"Through the latest information they sent us, we even got the latest news that Soros was meeting with people on Capitol Hill in Washington."
“Soros…Capitol Hill.”
Milo frowned, subconsciously feeling that there was something fishy going on.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in front of several of his men.
Wendy, Shabote and Nelson were the people who appeared around him most often, apart from a few bodyguards.
It can be said that they have seen Milo in this state many times.
At this time, the three of them looked at Milo like this.
The three of them almost simultaneously revealed looks of awe, piety, anticipation, and hope.
At the same time, they all subconsciously held their breath, for fear of disturbing the boss.
Because they think the boss is now communicating with God.
Although Milo said that he was actually thinking.
But Wendy and the others didn't believe it.
It’s Milo’s fault for making the decision after “thinking” like this every time.
Looking back, they all seemed like decisions he had made after listening to the gospel of God.
Combined with the respected archbishops, they all said that Milo was favored by the Lord.
He is a saintly believer who can hear the gospel of God.
In the West, even Newton and Einstein went to study theology when they got old.
Many times, people here really believe that there are gods in the world.
How else to explain that Milo didn't even graduate from a proper university and studied at a seminary.
Suddenly, I had an epiphany overnight.
From the playboy in the past, he suddenly became a writer of novels, scripts, and directors, and even made a lot of money on Wall Street...
There's no scientific explanation, and this is America.
Even Blackburn's family is the same as Wendy and her friends in private.
I felt that Milo might really have received divine inspiration.
Ten seconds later, Wendy and the others saw Milo suddenly open his eyes.
Then he picked up a marker on the table next to him, and under the gaze of Nelson and all the think tank members, he walked to a blank writing board and wrote down a few words in succession.
"Oil prices, Nasdaq, gold, Southeast Asian foreign exchange."
Milo put the cap on the pen, looked around, and then pointed to these four words with the marker in his hand and said, "Oil price, short position of international crude oil, we have been doing it for a month. I just took a look, it's pretty good, more than a month, we have made more than 100 million US dollars in profit. I think crude oil will continue to fall for a long time to come."
"So continue to short international crude oil and follow the previous steps."
After saying that, he pointed to the word "NASDAQ" above.
"Since 1991, there have been the British pound crisis, the German mark crisis, the Kosovo War, the South American debt crisis, the Mexican peso devaluation...hot money from all over the world is pouring into us. The US stock market is booming, and Nasdaq will become the largest pool. At least if you buy stocks of Internet companies in the next few years, you will make money."
"Let's talk about gold."
Milo pointed to the word gold on it with a marker.
"I predict that gold will have a short-term fluctuation next month. When the time comes, you can go long on it and start building positions now. You can build as much as you can below $250."
"at last……"
Milo's marker on the blackboard moved to "Southeast Asian Foreign Exchange".
Milo's own eyes couldn't help but twinkle when he saw the written word.
In advance.
Something that was supposed to happen in the middle of next year.
For some reason, he just sensed that it was brought forward.
It is the end of March now, and the high tide will probably start in October or November.
Those people have already started laying the groundwork. That is why Soros went to Washington and contacted some people on Capitol Hill.
Butterfly effect?
This is possible. After all, Morgan and his team's Silicon Valley strategy has been changed by my intervention.
The Nasdaq bubble formed faster than in the previous life due to its own reasons.
So it seems normal for them to launch the Southeast Asian storm a few months in advance.
This way, we can better push all the hot money into the Nasdaq bubble.
Then... fuck, eat it to your heart's content.
I can't miss this kind of feast.
But be careful, so as not to end up like Soros, who didn't eat much meat but was pushed out as a shield.
"As we all know, Southeast Asian countries and regions are among the fastest growing regions in the world in the past 20 years. In recent years, these countries and regions have exposed increasingly serious problems while experiencing rapid economic growth."
"This year, Siam's current account deficit will exceed 20 billion US dollars, and South Korea will not be lower than this figure. Bank loans are too loose, real estate investment is too large, commercial housing vacancy rates are rising, and banks have bad debts. Bad debts and other non-performing assets are expanding..."
“See? It’s almost identical to the Mexican peso crisis two years ago, but on a much larger scale.”
"So I think what happened to the Mexican peso will happen to many Southeast Asian and even Asian countries."
Everyone was shocked and amazed at the handsome young face.
The three that Milo mentioned earlier are okay, and any normal elite Wall Street person can judge them.
But on that last one, Milo said Southeast Asia could soon see something like the 1994 Mexican peso crisis.
Most people on Wall Street are unable to make a judgment at this time.
"I have said this much. I think you all know what to do next."
"I just want to say that this is an opportunity for me. It is also an opportunity for you. As long as you succeed, you will get a generous bonus to do whatever you want."
As soon as Milo finished speaking, he aroused joyful laughter and warm applause from the crowd.
Looking at everyone's excited and joyful expressions, Milo knew that he had aroused their enthusiasm.
There is no more persuasive encouragement than a pair of greenbacks.
However, he still warned, "What I just said, especially the latter part, must be kept strictly confidential. If it is leaked, I will be fine because I am Blackburn, the son-in-law of the Rockefeller family. But you... hehe, don't blame me for not protecting you when the time comes."
His words immediately shocked the think tank members and Wendy and others.
Everyone spoke up and promised not to say anything nonsense.
Milo shrugged. He wasn't afraid of them talking nonsense.
Just like he just said.
If someone really went out and told the truth and was discovered, or someone came to the door, Milo would just throw the person out.
Milo had given his warning.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He is protected by his status as an upper three bannerman.
For example, the assassin who assassinated Kennedy was killed on the spot.
The case became an unsolved mystery and was eventually left unresolved.
Although everyone knows what happened.
More than 20 years later, someone tried to assassinate Li Gen again.
The assassin was caught and it was said that he assassinated Li Gen because he liked a female star.
Not to mention how he managed to avoid being shot to death at the assassination scene with so many bodyguards.
Afterwards, he didn't even go to jail.
The fact that he was released after only being sent to a mental hospital for twenty years shows that this guy named John Hinckley was a very important person.
This is indeed the case.
The Hinckley family played a very important role in Milo's grandfather's competition a few years ago.
They are an oil family, and the deputy of the assassinated Li Gen was Milo's grandfather.
If Li Gen had been unlucky at that time, he would have been killed.
Then Milo's grandfather would have naturally become the commander-in-chief at that time...
Friends, the status of the upper three flags is really different in the United States.
With this identity, he wouldn't have to die even if the assassination attempt on the commander-in-chief failed.
Another example is that more than ten years later there was a "female Steve Jobs" named Elizabeth Holmes.
She, like China's Jia Yueting, swindled a lot of money, billions of dollars.
Sentenced to jail, it turns out the jail she was in was her fiancé's family's property...
Now that he is involved with Rockefeller, his BUFF is even heavier than John Hinckley's.
But these people in front of me don’t have that.
Besides, if they dared to ignore Milo's warning.
Even if no one comes to him, he will clean up the mess himself.
Now he gave advance warning.
One reason is to prepare these people so that they can get more green US dollars for him in the next wave.
Secondly, he also wanted to refine his team and eliminate the dross while retaining the essence.
After all, except for Wendy, almost all members of his team were recruited by headhunters, so of course they had to practice a bit.
After the internal meeting and the warning.
Milo didn’t stay at Paladin Investments for long.
He and his men arrived at Madison Avenue in New York before noon.
New York's Fifth Avenue between 60th Street and 34th Street is known as the "Street of Dreams" and is home to the largest number of famous brand stores in the world.
Broadway is for music and drama; Wall Street is for finance; Arthur Avenue is for leisure and food...
Madison Avenue is America's media avenue.
Almost all the large media groups in the United States have offices here, or their headquarters are here.
Milo's purpose of coming to Madison Avenue today was to visit the headquarters of U.S. News & World Report magazine.
However, although the headquarters is in New York, the magazine's editorial office is in Washington.
In fact, most magazines and newspapers that are mainly related to finance, politics, and society are like this.
The editorial office and reporters are in Washington, but the headquarters and senior management are in New York.
After all, Washington, DC is the center of power in the United States, and it is where the most major American news happens.
The editorial department can get first-hand information there.
New York is the most developed city in the United States, so of course the headquarters should be located here.
Arrived downstairs of the building where the headquarters of U.S. News & World Report is located.
Milo looked up.
This time, his takeover of U.S. News & World Report was uneventful.
The general process was that old Blackburn went to find his old friends.
"Presenting facts and explaining the reason."
First National Bank of Boston provided Milo with a loan of $360 million.
The loan was used to pay for Milo to purchase U.S. News & World Report from Mortimer Zuckerman.
So the First National Bank of Boston earned interest.
Mortimer Zuckerman got the money.
Milo easily got ahold of a weekly magazine ranked among the top three in the United States.
It seems like a win-win situation for all parties, with no one losing out.
Only Mortimer Zuckerman had a gloomy face. He didn't look happy even though he made $200 million.
But this is the value of the Upper Three Flags. If you want to blame someone, blame Mortimer Zuckerman for his poor background and pedigree. He is just an ordinary WASP.
He joined the banner, but not the upper three banners.
The gold content is different.
