Chapter 344 Hunting for Rothschild?

Time quickly came to August 1st.

On this day, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates on time.

The capital market has always reacted the fastest.

After the Federal Reserve officially implemented its interest rate hike policy, the U.S. stock market began to rise.

At the same time, the US dollar continued to strengthen and appreciate.

And Paladin Investments is losing money.

Except for Ichiro Watanabe's team which made a floating profit of more than 60 million US dollars on the day by going long on the US dollar exchange rate, the other seven teams suffered more or less floating losses.

The team that suffered the largest floating loss was Compass, which was shorting the U.S. and Canadian banks, and its floating loss reached more than 80 million U.S. dollars.

In total, the floating loss on that day reached more than 90 million US dollars, close to 100 million US dollars! Not only that, as the impact of the Fed's interest rate hike continues to ferment and global funds continue to flow into the United States, Paladin's investment losses will be even greater.

But this is not without its benefits.

That is, with the surge in U.S. stocks and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, the Compass team's progress in shorting large banks in the United States and Canada has made another leap forward.

On August 2, Paladin's investment losses expanded to more than 230 million US dollars.

On August 3, Paladin's investment losses expanded to more than 360 million US dollars.

On August 4, Paladin's investment losses suddenly exceeded US$500 million, reaching more than US$520 million.

On August 5, Paladin Investment’s floating loss reached more than 690 million US dollars, just approaching 700 million US dollars! The pressure on the major teams within Paladin Investment was increasing.

Fortunately, Nelson, Howard Lutnick and others firmly believed that the boss's judgment would not be wrong, and they had faith in Milo as if he were a god. They continued to stabilize the morale of each team and continued to implement the plan firmly as always.

Milo, however, remained unmoved and even became more expectant.

It’s almost here! It’s August 6th! At 10 a.m., the Brazilian government suddenly announced that due to a variety of reasons, it was short of fiscal funds and could not repay the principal and interest of the government’s $87 billion foreign debt as agreed!

After this news broke, the entire Brazilian financial market was thrown into chaos.

The heads of major bank branches in Brazil immediately reported the news to their home countries and asked the Brazilian government for an explanation.

It's a mess!

The whole of Latin America was instantly thrown into chaos!

The debt of 87 billion US dollars was actually defaulted, and it was Brazil, one of the leaders in Latin America, that defaulted! The major lending banks in Europe and the United States were terrified and all called in staff to discuss emergency plans.

Major media outlets around the world also took action upon hearing the news. Those with news gathering points in Brazil immediately sent them to collect news, while those without news gathering points sent editing teams to Brazil.

At the same time, the capital market also responded quickly.

The biggest fluctuation was the sudden plunge in the exchange rate of the Brazilian real against the US dollar.

This in turn triggered a sharp drop in the Brazilian stock market.

There was an air of excitement from both Team Nelson and Team Gina Raimondo.

As for the listed banks that lent money to Brazil, their share prices all plummeted and institutions fled.

In particular, Citigroup, which was the leader, wiped out all the market value it had gained in the past five days in just one hour, with $800 million evaporated, and the market value is still declining.

The global financial industry is on edge.

"Snap!"

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Latin Investments Headquarters, Manhattan, New York.

Milo had just hung up the phone and paused for two seconds when the phone rang again.

Milo smiled and answered the phone directly: "Hello, what's the situation?"

“…”

"I understand. Be careful to stay hidden and keep an eye on the market situation at all times. Don't be careless. If there is any special situation, report it to me immediately!"

“Snap!”

Milo spoke briefly and decisively before hanging up the phone.

After answering eight calls, I thought that there would be no more calls for a while.

Milo got up from the chair in front of his desk and walked to the French window, looking at the tall buildings and the blue sky below. He felt extremely happy! With the Brazilian government voluntarily announcing a debt default of $87 billion regardless of the country's credibility, the last risk of his plan finally disappeared and it was completely on track.

The losing team no longer loses money, and the floating losses are made up at an extremely fast speed, and then the floating profits continue to rise.

As other international capital rushed into various markets, the floating profits of Paladin Investment, which had made early arrangements, further soared.

Just like the Brazilian Real and the Brazilian stock market.

International capital sold off the Brazilian real and Brazilian stocks, accelerating the plunge in both.

As the short-selling party, Paladin Investment naturally hopes that the Brazilian real and the Brazilian stock market will fall as low as possible.

Other companies wanted to short the Brazilian real, but it was too late to enter the market.

But international capital is not stupid either.

Since the Brazilian government dares to default, the default risks of other Latin American countries will increase infinitely.

Therefore, even though Mexico, Colombia, Peru and other countries have not yet defaulted, their stock markets and currencies have begun to fall.

At best, the decline is not as large as that in Brazil.

But as long as these countries follow suit and default, a crash is only a matter of time.

I'm thinking if there are any loopholes, or if I can find a way to make more money.

The number one phone that Milo placed next to him suddenly rang.

Not many people could call his number, so Milo answered it casually.

"It's me. You must have been involved in Latin America, right?"

As soon as Milo heard the voice, he knew who it was, David Rockefeller.

"you guess……"

"I don't need to guess. I wouldn't be surprised if John Chris Morgan wasn't involved. Because his energy is not as good as before, and he is no longer the devil Morgan. But you, guy, sometimes I really doubt whether you are blessed by God. Since you appeared, there have been black swan events in the international market and fluctuations in the financial market. You must be behind them."

David's voice sounded:

"From military stocks a few years ago, to Denmark, Norway, France, the United Kingdom, Canada last year, Asia, and Latin America this time..."

"Every time, I can vaguely see the figures of your group of financial hyenas."

"So if you say you were not involved, that is absolutely impossible."

Hearing the old man's decisive words, Milo laughed.

"Okay. Then I admit it. Bingo, dear David, congratulations on your correct guess, but there is no reward."

"That's what I told you." At this time, a conversation between David Rockefeller and the people around him was heard on the other end of the phone.

"This guy will definitely participate. He may even be the one fueling the flames."

"Fuck, the main thing is that no one expected Brazil to default first. Even if it was Argentina or Mexico, it shouldn't be Brazil first! You have to know that during the debt crisis fifteen years ago, all other countries defaulted, but Brazil did not!"

Milo recognized the voice of Laurence Rockefeller.

The voice at the end should be John Chris Morgan's, "That's even better. If he has more ammunition, we can use him to add insult to injury. This is good for both of us!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Milo couldn't help but interrupt suddenly, "You are doing this openly in front of me. Okay, in front of me on the phone, talking about these conspiracies, isn't this bad?"

"We are not targeting you. If we were targeting you, there would not be this call." David Rockefeller's voice came from the phone.

The phone at the back seemed to be his, which was snatched away by John Chris Morgan.

"It's me, dear Milo. Are you interested in joining forces with us to take down the so-called king of the world?"

"Emm..." Milo made a strange sound at first, then chuckled and said, "Are you trying to target Rosier?"

"Ha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"Who told me that Rothschild is almost always present in the European banks that lend money to Latin American countries. Or should I say, Rothschild is actually the largest creditor of Latin American countries. Just like during the Asian financial crisis, the creditors were all American banks."

The difference is that the economies of those Asian countries are relatively better than those in Latin America.

Or it should be said that Asian countries are more concerned about their reputation.

I would rather lose everything I have, even to the point of selling all my pants.

They were all trying hard not to default on their sovereign debts and had to sell off a large number of high-quality companies to repay their debts to American banks.

Therefore, most of the money that American banks were able to lend out was recovered.

And they made a lot of money. Combined with the profits from the financial crisis, it can be said that they made money twice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That was also the beginning of Milo's real success and the beginning of his wealth reaching tens of billions of dollars.

As for these Latin American countries, the crisis has just begun and the sickle of harvest has not yet been placed on their necks.

One of their leaders, Brazil, surrendered directly...

It would be easy to do this, but it would cause endless harm.

It's like a person going bankrupt in the United States.

Unless you have a billionaire father, there is a high probability that you will end up homeless.

Eventually he became one of the hundreds of thousands of homeless people who die in the United States every year.

Things like national credibility cannot be seen or touched.

But many times, that's when it comes into play.

If not, it would be really fatal.

For example, during the Asian financial crisis, a group of people were so excited about making profits that they took the opportunity to make a profit on the Russians next to them.

Normally speaking, the Russians should learn from the Chinese.

We have to grit our teeth and take out all the foreign exchange to support the credit of Hong Kong Island.

But the Russians were really straightforward and shameless. They directly defaulted on their sovereign debt, causing a group of Wall Street managers who were arguing about their currency to almost jump off a building.

Who would believe that one of the top five gangsters would do such a thing?

But then again, even one of the top five gangsters can do such a thing.

As for Brazil and other Latin American countries, it seems that it is not impossible to have a sovereign default...

"Haha, I knew you knew it too."

John Chris Morgan said on the other end of the phone, laughing loudly.

Milo shrugged. "Tell me what you want to do, or what you want me to do. Then tell me what I can get out of it. Of course, the latter is the most important."

The Rothschilds were targeted at various points by Morgan and Rockefeller.

As a result, it has little presence in the United States.

This is no secret among the upper classes all over the world.

It’s because Rothschild himself didn’t take the New World seriously back then.

They firmly believed that Europe would always be the center of the world, and that the New World, like Asia and Africa, was just a colony and market of Europe.

But in the end, the United States developed from the New World, and it destroyed old Europe by jumping around and waging horrific wars.

In addition, the shameless Red-Soviet alliance after World War II squeezed Rothschild globally.

In the end, although Rothschild still had some influence in Europe, it was gradually weakening.

There is no chance for them in such a lucrative new market as Asia.

They had no choice but to focus on Latin America. Unfortunately, they were once again targeted by Morgan and Rockefeller, who were determined to kill their ancestors' original sponsors and bosses.

Milo even suspected that the Brazilian government had blatantly defaulted.

I guess Morgan and Rockefeller are supporting them.

"It's not appropriate to discuss in detail over the phone." John Chris Morgan's voice continued to be heard from the other end. He smiled and said, "Why don't we come out and talk? You decide the location, but it's best not to let anyone find out about our gathering. Otherwise, no one in the Rothschild family will be able to sleep tonight! Hahahaha!"

"Well...how about the Gimp National Golf Club? I'll have someone clear it out in advance. David, can you arrange for the New York State National Guard to prepare?"

"good."

The phone was probably taken back by David Rockefeller.

Old David's voice came from the other end: "Then let's go to this place. It's almost noon, let's go there to have lunch and play ball together."

"OK. I'll call the boss right now."

So the golden-haired old man was preparing for the 1998 Miss America pageant finals.

He immediately left behind a bunch of beautiful girls, almost all of them blondes with big boobs, and rushed to his golf club in the suburbs.

"Fuck, fuck, get everyone out! Got it? Everyone, including you, including all the staff!"

"You don't understand what's going on? Fuck, Joe, you don't need to understand. You just need to do it, just do it?"

“Will it affect the reputation of the golf club and its subsequent operations?”

"Fuckyou, Joe, do you know who's going to be there later? Forget it, I won't tell you."

"Compared to the guests who are coming, the continued operation and reputation of the golf club is nothing!"

"Joe, no one knows more about golf than I do. No one knows more about running a golf club than I do!"

"You just have to do it, or Bill comes on the line and you get out, understand?"

Gimp almost yelled, ordering the general manager of the golf club on the other end of the phone to do something.

Then he asked the driver to drive the car to the destination as fast as possible.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Joe listening to his words and asking the original employees of the club to leave.

Not long after he arrived, security personnel from United Global arrived.

Along with United Global and the security personnel, there were three other gangs.

Jinpu didn't know two of the gangs, but he could guess who they were.

And that group of people is easy to recognize.

They are a special security unit of the New York State National Guard.

This made Jinpu more certain that what Milo said was true.

After Rothschild’s visit, Morgan and Rockefeller are now coming to his golf club!

Plus Blackburn, who was originally one of them.

"Fuck, no one knows golf better than me!"

"My golf club is the most exclusive golf club in the world!"
