Chapter 161: Half of the American Eight Banners Support

When everything was settled, Panasonic Group announced with reluctance to sell 80% of MCA Group's shares to the American Paladin Media Group.

And when the transaction is officially completed and the equity transfer is completed.

It's already June 25th.

That evening.

In the executive corridor of the Hilton Hotel in Tokyo's Minato Ward.

Sumitomo Junko was wearing a kimono and directing some Japanese people to work under the watchful eyes of the American bodyguards around them.

"Are you ready to pay first? Let me check first."

"Taro, octopus, pumpkin, tender lotus root, wild taro, sea eel roe jelly... Yeah, sure, let's serve them up first so the gentlemen can enjoy them."

“…”

She patiently prepared the Japanese-style kaiseki cuisine.

This was not something she, a noble lady from the Sumitomo family, should do.

But who could blame her for this? The guests Milo entertained tonight were of very noble status in her eyes.

So Junko Sumitomo volunteered to take on the job.

Thinking of this, Sumitomo Junko couldn't help but look to the left, at the administrative corridor facing Tokyo Bay.

There, sitting in front of Milo were two blond, blue-eyed Americans.

He was chatting and talking to them.

From their tone and facial expressions, it can be judged that the three of them are very happy.

"...Hey, I can't imagine that kind of thing would happen. I can't even imagine that you would do such a thing!"

"That's...that's just crazy!"

Héctor Cabrera looked at Milo in front of him.

The best friend couldn't help but exclaim once again.

Milo denied it: "I am a victim."

"Come on," Edward Wilson complained, "We all know what's going on!"

These two people flew here from the United States today.

They didn't come here to visit Milo who was bombed half a month ago.

Otherwise they should have come here long ago.

They came over, actually, since as early as the end of May.

The Thai baht in Southeast Asia has already begun to become unstable.

The Siamese government tried every possible means but to little avail.

So it looked like it was about to collapse as soon as June began, and it is even more precarious now.

The time has come.

International hot money, smelling blood, was now hovering over Siam.

It is for this reason that the three markets in Neon collapsed so quickly half a month ago.

The pressure is already hovering over all of Asia, although the most direct pressure is on Southeast Asia.

But as Asia's largest economic power, Japan cannot avoid it.

It's a feast.

Of course, the Boston and California consortiums can't not eat it.

All eight banners of the United States have arrived.

It is possible that someone else should be sent.

But because Milo was here, the Boston Consortium asked Hector to come over.

From the California consortium, it was my cousin Edward who came over.

What the trio were discussing just now was the explosion that happened half a month ago.

These two are different from the others because they are close enough to Milo.

And know who he is.

One of them is a close friend and the other is a relative, and both parties have cooperated.

So I just start with the output.

But Milo of course didn't admit it.

When Junko Sumitomo and her servants brought up the Neon-style kaiseki appetizer for tonight.

Hector, who was about to complain about Milo, had to change the subject, "How long do you think those Southeast Asians can hold on?"

When Siam was in trouble, international hot money swarmed in like locusts.

They had just finished a small wave of Neon Crisis and immediately fell on Siam.

In just a few days, all the wealth accumulated by Siam over the years was looted.

Then, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan and Malaysia all began to become unstable.

The Thai baht crisis has begun to transform into a Southeast Asian financial crisis, and may then further turn into an Asian financial crisis.

By then, Japan, which has turned from danger to safety, will probably also turn from safety to danger again.

“I don’t recommend extending your reach to Hong Kong Island.”

This was the first sentence Milo said to Edward and Hector after Sumitomo Junko settled the advance and left with a smile.

"Why?"

Hector was slightly stunned.

Just now, he was describing with great excitement the gains he had made during the Thai baht crisis.

Edward couldn't help but look at his cousin.

"Hong Kong Island is more troublesome than those countries in Southeast Asia." Milo chose his words carefully.

"I don't think so."

Edward shrugged.

"The Hang Seng Index has fallen below the 10,000 mark. Unless someone invests an unprecedented amount of money, which fool has the ability to fight against so much money?"

"Really?" Milo asked back.

"At least I can't think of it..."

Edward suddenly stopped talking here, and after a few seconds he looked up thoughtfully, "You mean... the north of Hong Kong Island?"

"You know, their system is different from ours. If necessary, they can always mobilize the whole country to help Hong Kong Island. No matter how much capital international hot money has, it cannot compete with a truly powerful country." Milo said word by word.

Edward frowned after hearing this.

"This breaks the rules. We can apply pressure from other places." At this time, Hector said, stroking his chin.

"Come on, Hector, China is not India." Milo sneered.

Indonesia is also in Southeast Asia and is one of the targets of international hot money this time.

The Yin Ni Shield was naturally also affected.

The Indian and Nepalese governments are relatively smart and want to maintain a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar to maintain the situation.

But how could the financiers, who have already raised their knives and forks, allow them to do this?

The International Monetary Fund immediately warned that it would withdraw its aid if this happened.

The United States and Western Europe also unanimously opposed it, and used various means.

The Indo-Nepalese government had to abandon this plan, so the Indo-Nepalese shield is now on the verge of crumbling.

This is what it means to want to eat your flesh and make it impossible for you to resist.

This is also the fate of those countries that have completely opened up their financial industries and even handed them over to experts from other countries.

You got the benefits in the past, and now you have to pay the price.

You have to vomit out as much as you eat, even double the amount.

Europe and the United States have been growing leeks for so many years that the methods and techniques have long been sophisticated.

However, it was this crisis that severely damaged Yin Ni's vitality, coupled with various factors, that is why next year...

Whenever Milo thought of this, his face would become somewhat gloomy.

It’s a pity that he can’t and doesn’t want to interfere too much.

The cause of this incident is too complicated. There are many historical factors involved, and they are so intricately intertwined that we cannot simply say who did nothing.

It was hard to sort it out, and he really didn't want to pursue it.

So all he could do was to arrange for a few passionate young reporters from CNN who had been brainwashed by mainstream American values ​​and were true white leftists to go to Jakarta.

Even so, the report would likely be suppressed by the United States, and Milo would most likely not be able to directly confront it.

Because that is the will of the entire American vested interest group.

By then, even his father and grandfather might not support him.

But don't forget the Internet. Others may not have fully realized it, but Milo is very clear about its power.

But that's all we can do. Don't forget who he is now.

If you accidentally get yourself involved, that would be the stupidest thing to do.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic of Hong Kong Island.

"The Chinese people know very well that we set the rules. If they act completely according to the rules, they will be killed by us."

Milo continued, "They may not be able to make rules yet, but they are definitely capable of breaking them. For example, the International Monetary Fund has reached an understanding with them on the RMB and US dollar peg, so even if we attack them in the media for violating financial freedom, it will be useless."

Having said this, he paused.

After Hector and Edward digested his words, Milo continued: "Let's make a simple assumption. If the authorities in the north of Hong Kong Island announced that the RMB would not depreciate, what would happen?"

“What if they even provide aid to some Southeast Asian countries?”

"Of course, we can find ways to force the other party, but at most it will be a draw. Since there is no benefit to be gained, why must we follow them to Hong Kong Island?"

“If Soros and others want to go, let them go. There’s no need for us to waste our time.”

"While they are wasting time and fighting wits and courage with the Chinese authorities, we can reap more benefits elsewhere."

He let out a long breath, and although he was a little nervous, he still looked at Hector and Edward calmly.

Although he said these words, his stance seemed a bit questionable.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But combined with Milo's identity and his past unbeatable investment experience.

And based on what he just said, there is a great possibility that such a situation could happen.

"It seems that," Hector looked at Edward after thinking for a long time and spoke slowly, "this kind of thing is indeed possible."

"And the probability is very high." Edward nodded, and the cousin was convinced by his cousin.

"In short, we just need to focus on Siam, India, Bangko Sentral, Japan and other countries." Milo spoke again, "These are enough for us to eat. If you don't believe it, then just do it yourself."

“Paladin Investments doesn’t waste time biting off more than it can chew.”

"Well, you have a point. A lot of point."

Edward said, "But you seem to have forgotten something."

Hector followed up with a reminder, "There's also the hairy bear."

"No, no, no, Hector, Edward."

Milo laughed at the name.

"As for Hong Kong Island, we can still make some money by observing the situation, because Chinese people are disciplined and willing to abide by the rules. They believe in moderation."

"But the hairy bear... the hairy bear, we'd better not touch it."

"Oh?" Hector looked at him in confusion again.

Edward: "Why?"

"Let's put it this way. We entered the market, we used all the methods we used in Southeast Asian countries, we saw the harvest in sight, and then..."

Milo smiled at Hector and said, "The Russian bear announced that the ruble will depreciate indefinitely. What do you think will happen in the end?"

"Are you sure?"

Hector immediately raised his eyebrows.

Edward also didn't believe it: "That's impossible. If that happens, their credit will go bankrupt and no one will trust them anymore. Their economy will also plummet as the currency depreciates. According to what you said just now, China wouldn't dare to do that! Are you sure that the Russian bear really dares to do that?"

"I'm not sure, but after the disintegration, Slavia couldn't be in a worse situation. It's at the bottom of hell. What's the point of going a little lower?"

Milo spread his hands in front of his friends and cousin.

Although I didn’t know much about it in my previous life, I still have an impression of the Russian bear’s tricks that hurt others and itself.

Even Soros was hurt by this move.

Since then, no international hot money dared to say anything about the Slavs.

They really dared to overturn the table and left the international hot money helpless.

The price was also very high, as the Slavs' financial credibility was completely ruined and could not be recovered for more than a decade.

"Okay, I get it. I'll pay attention." Hector said after pinching his fingers.

Edward didn't say anything, but he should have been able to understand to some extent.

Milo didn't emphasize it again, regardless of whether they listened or not.

I will not take action on these two places.

There are so many Southeast Asian countries, and we have eaten a little bit of Japan in the front and there is a fat little stick in the back. There is no need to touch those two tough ones.

If they don't listen, the only ones who will suffer losses will be the Boston and California consortiums.

But if that happens, I won't be able to coordinate with them on many of my actions, and the benefits will be less.

If only they had listened and made the same choice as me.

In this operation, they will definitely be the party that benefits the most among the international hot money.

That was the end of the topic. At this time, Sumitomo Junko also directed the servants to start serving the main course of Neon Kaiseki cuisine.

Boiled eel cubes, steamed rice with minced conger eel, grilled sweetfish, steamed yam and sweet snapper...

Some dishes were served that were more or less influenced by the Chinese food next door, but also had some Neon characteristics.

Milo actually didn't like this bland diet.

Hector was just so-so, but Edward liked him very much.

It was this cousin who suggested having Kaiseki cuisine tonight.

After all, they came to Neon, so it would be unreasonable not to taste the local specialties.

Sumitomo Junko was kept by Milo to have dinner with him as his female companion.

Sumitomo Junko was very happy.

Because she knew that the two Americans in front of her were representatives of the Boston Consortium and the California Consortium.

Their status in the United States is equivalent to that of Sumitomo, Mitsubishi and other chaebols in Japan.

Being allowed by Milo to have dinner with such a person, Sumitomo Junko felt that she was valued.

In front of Junko, the trio did not talk about the Asian harvest again.

If the Southeast Asian financial crisis develops into the Asian financial crisis.

The neon that has just been cut lightly will most likely be cut again.

There's no need to discuss this kind of thing in front of Sumitomo Junko.

"MCA is yours now."

Hector picked up a piece of goby cooked in soy sauce with chopsticks and clumsily brought it to his mouth. He said as he ate, "How enviable. MCA Group itself is a huge media group. You now have TBS, CNN, and your own film company. Wow..."

A large, comprehensive media group is about to emerge in North America.

It is a company that is not much inferior to Disney and Viacom.

It is even stronger than large media groups like Time Warner!

How could Hector not understand what a large media group meant?

Although major financial groups can also influence and control those large media groups.

But that is the will of the entire consortium.

There is no such thing as Milo, where one person or one family completely controls a large media group.

But this is also good news for the Boston and California consortiums.

Because Milo is a Bostonian first.

But he has Wilson blood in him, and most of his assets are now in California.

And the Texas consortium will certainly be happy to see it happen.

Because the uncles have always had a good relationship with Milo.

Rockefeller would not have any objection, after all, Milo was their son-in-law.

So that's the calculation.

It is in the American Eight Banners

Milo already had the tacit approval of one of the top two flags.

There is also support and affirmation from three other flags.

This is why the Japanese had to hold their noses and sell the MCA Group to Milo at a bargain price.

Otherwise, all these years of business operations by the Japanese would not be in vain.

Even if Milo cheats, they can still find support from Washington.

For example, Mitsui has a very good relationship with Rockefeller and is one of Rockefeller's shadows in Asia.

Only someone like Milo could get so much support from the Eight Banners of the United States.

Only then can the Japanese be truly helpless and forced to cut their own flesh and feed the eagles.

So this time Milo did this, Milo got the MCA Group.

In fact, the only people who are really unhappy are the Japanese.

Probably only Morgan in the upper second flag.

They won’t feel much about other companies like Mellon, Citigroup, etc.

They have little competition with the Boston, California, and Texas consortiums.

Only Morgan, who was targeting both the Boston and California consortiums, would be unhappy because he had no close connection with Milo.
