Chapter 2044 Finale II(1/2)
Long before meeting Chu Ting, Tan Xiaotian had secretly ordered Ruan Si to register several companies in Central Asia, Southeast Asia and other countries to enter the Turkish market.
They used a large amount of overseas bonds and real estate as collateral to lend a large amount of lira from several major banks in the Turkish country to purchase various minerals in the Turkish country, marble, gold, boron ore, chromium, thorium and coal.
The Tuguo is a major mineral resource country, and its mineral resource diversity ranks tenth in the world.
The contract signed by Ruan Si and several major banks in Turkish countries specifically stated that the repayment currency must be Turkish lira.
This time, he asked Chu Ting to follow the example, register a company in Europe, enter the Turkish market, use European real estate mortgage loans, and use loans to buy minerals and agricultural products there.
Because in 2017, due to political conflicts between the United States and Turkey, the United States announced sanctions on Turkey. Wall Street capital began to short the exchange rate of the Turkey-country, and other hot money in the world joined, causing the Turkish lira to collapse. In one month, the value of the lira evaporated by nearly 50%, and the US dollar rose from 3.79 at the beginning of the year to 6.43.
(The crisis actually occurred in 2018, and according to the needs of the article, it was one year ahead of schedule.
) It can be explained in this way: the loan from Turkish Bank of China was 10,000 lira before, and after the exchange was US dollars, it was worth about US$2,638. After the crisis broke out, the US dollar was worth about 17,000 lira. After repaying the loan, you still earned a net profit of 7,000 lira.
This is the currency war.
This financial war launched by American capital caused huge losses to the Turkish economy. Tan Xiaotian also wanted to get a share of the pie, so he made arrangements in advance and used loans to purchase Turkish minerals and agricultural products.
Tan Xiaotian arranged everything, took a private plane, flew across the Atlantic Ocean, and arrived in New York.
At a small cocktail party, he met Ivanka and Jared, whom he hadn't met for several years.
Today, Ivanka is already a mother of three children. Her marriage with her husband Jared is very happy and fulfilling, and she can be called a winner in life.
When I saw Tan Xiaotian again, Ivanka was still a little excited. She walked over and hugged her gently, "Tan, long time no see, are you okay?"
"Ivanka, I'm retired now and do nothing every day. I heard that you are very busy now, and I thought I wouldn't see you anymore!"
"It's really busy, you know, I'm helping my dad right now."
"I heard that your career and Jared were very successful, the jewelry brand you created was very popular, and Jared's publishing career was booming."
Ivanka smiled, "Talk, in the eyes of ordinary people, Jared and I are certainly successful people, but for you and Selena, you can only say it is ridiculous. You are the industry that makes money."
Tan Xiaotian smiled without saying a word, turned around and chatted with Jared for a few more words.
After the cocktail party, Selena and Ivanka chatted for a while. After a few days, a sum of funds secretly entered a trust fund account of TL Investment.
During the time of Tan Xiaotian's stay in the United States, a fire broke out on a passenger plane with flight number 994 under Southwest Airlines. The cause was that a Sanxing note7 mobile phone caught fire. In just a few days, many similar incidents broke out around the world.
For a time, media from many countries around the world began to criticize Sanxing Battery.
Sanxing's stock price fell sharply as a result.
Tan Xiaotian called Lei Jun and Ren Zhengfei respectively, and there was only one topic, "The opportunity is here, you must not miss it."
Before this, the domestic mobile phone market has always been Apple's boss and Sanxing's second. Now that Sanxing has such a big quality problem, domestic mobile phones will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So, major domestic mobile phone brands began to make efforts... At the end of October, Rifujin visited the United States. After meeting Selena, he secretly met with several senior American political and business executives.
At the end of the year, Goryeo filed a lawsuit against Sanxing's current head of family.
Tan Xiaotian had already returned to China at this time.
As soon as the news came out, Selena called him, "Is it possible for Rifujin to take office?"
"It's impossible. The United States urgently needs Sanxing to build a production line in the United States, so it will definitely put pressure on Goryeo, but Rifujin can take the opportunity to gain more benefits."
"Honey, Ivanka's father has won. Should we close the net too? After all, we have been planning to build in Turkish countries for half a year."
"Wait a little longer, prepare the funds, wait for the people on Wall Street to do it first, remember not to make a head-on bird. This is an ancient Chinese proverb and is very useful."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
In March 2017, Selena received a mysterious call. She set off for Wall Street and met several old acquaintances.
"Selina, it's been three years since we old guys are very quiet and want to do something. Are you interested in participating?"
"Of course, I'm interested in all the money-making businesses."
"Haha, I heard that this tone is the style of Wall Street."
"But where is this time?"
The tip of a gilded walking stick points to a part of the map.
"Selina, the current economy of Turkish countries is very similar to Southeast Asia 20 years ago. The economy has expanded rapidly, with an average GDP growth rate of 5.9%.
But its economic growth is based on a large amount of foreign debt, and its account is always deficit, with fiscal deficit accounting for 6.3%, making it one of the largest deficits in the world.
I think we should remind them. I wonder if your Chinese friend is interested in participating. The more people you have, the greater the power.”
Selena calmly replied, "I can ask."
A week later, Tan Xiaotian flew to the United States again. Just like three years ago, he met the big crocodiles again.
Compared with three years ago, these people still have greed, and the only change is that they are older.
"Talk, I'm happy to work with you again. I hope we can continue to make a fortune this time."
Several champagne glasses met together in the air.
Tan Xiaotian smiled and said, "It is Xiaotian's honor to be able to learn from several gentlemen."
There was a burst of laughter in the office, how similar the group was.
After Tan Xiaotian left.
A faint sigh came from behind him, "What a pity, such an excellent person cannot be a partner."
"If I am not a clan, my heart will be different. You cannot be weak at this time."
“I know, I just feel sorry.
TL Investment is too strong now. If we don’t wake up yet, in a few years, they will be the one who will do it first.”
In August, American capital took the lead in attacking and shorted the Tuguo lira in the international currency market. The lira exchange rate fell. Then, global hot money came over like a group of bloodthirsty sharks and began to bite around Tuguo.
Like in the previous life, Turkish countries had no power to fight back at all.
In the face of the crisis, the reasons for "high inflation and high debt" combined with the external pressure of tightening liquidity triggered asset sales and lira depreciation, which further boosted imported inflation in Turkey and suppressed the confidence of investors and the people, thus forming a vicious cycle.
In just one month, the lira depreciated wildly.
At the end of August, a large number of companies that entered Turkish countries a year ago paid off their bank loans and safely withdrew from Turkish countries.
Tan Xiaotian not only made billions of dollars in the money market, but also used the time difference to plunder countless minerals and agricultural products from the Turkish country.
In September, there were suddenly rumors inside Wall Street that the depreciation of the lira caused a global economic recession, and European countries suffered a lot. The relevant departments began to thoroughly investigate the matter, trying to find out the culprit behind the artificial manipulation.
After several weeks of investigation, many clues have pointed to TL Investment.
Selena changed from the Queen of Wall Street to the Wolf of Wall Street for a while. People in the financial circle say that although this woman is as beautiful as a flower, her greed is even greater than those of the previous giants.
Selena naturally also had her information channels. After learning about this, she called, "Ivanka, we were plotted against. I need the help of you and your father. If those people succeed, it will have a very bad impact on you and me, and even your father."
After listening to Selena's narrative, Ivanka was a little helpless, but his opponent had already arrived. This was a life-and-death battle.
"Selina, you were using me a year ago, didn't you?"
"Ivanka, it makes me sad that you said this. Our friendship has been more than ten years."
"But I'm not the little girl who only knows design ten years ago."
"Ivanka, I have earned you hundreds of millions of dollars this time. You should pay some labor fees, right?"
"Selina, compared to your real profits, the little money I made is like a joke."
"If no one knows it, it will not be a joke. If it spreads, it will really become a joke."
Ivanka hung up the phone angrily. After these ten years, especially the two years of training, she grew up very quickly. She is indeed not the same as she was ten years ago.
But when faced with the wisest woman on Wall Street, she still had no choice.
This time, those hedge funds used other companies to operate in shorting Tuguo Lira. From a legal perspective, their responsibilities are not great. Of course, if they are forced tightly, the big players behind the scenes will definitely be punished, but that little fine is simply not worth mentioning compared to the profits they earned this time.
However, among the funds shorted by TL investment this time, the trust fund invested by Ivanka and Jared and his wife acted as the main force.
As long as they are thoroughly investigated, the couple will be the first to bear the brunt.
So, no matter from any angle, even if she gets angry, she has to suppress this matter.
A few months later, the authorities punished several companies and received as many as millions of fines, which was an explanation to other countries.
At a charity fundraising party in New York, Ivanka and Selena met again.
The two beauties in the same frame attracted countless reporters to take photos and ask questions.
"Ms. Ivanka, are you and Selena good friends?"
Ivanka looked at Selena with a smile, "Of course, we met a long time ago. I admire Selena's talent and her contribution to charity."
Selena replied, "In my opinion, Ivanka is omnipotent, she is beautiful, smart, fashionable, and she is a perfect woman."
A few hours later, the good sisters appeared on the terrace.
The smile on Ivanka's face had disappeared, her face turned pale, "Selina, I'm very disappointed with you."
"Ivanka, you said that you are no longer a little girl from ten years ago, and you should understand the truth that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
You need me, and your family needs me even more. The relationship between your father and the mainstream American media and big capital is very bad. If you get my help, we can try to carry out some reforms on Wall Street and strive for more people to support your family."
Ivanka was silent, she knew that Selena was telling the truth.
