Chapter 534: The United States Fights to the Death, Chen Xing Meets at the Four Seasons Hotel
Across the ocean.
Federal Reserve Headquarters Building.
The 37th special internal meeting was held. Davich, Wei Yan, and other senior Fed officials discussed how to save the U.S. economy.
Since the successful listing of Longxing Group, Longguo's stock market has been driven up continuously, and global funds are rushing to the east.
The withdrawal of a large amount of international funds has brought the U.S. economy to a critical value.
It is like a balloon that is constantly inflating. You never know when it will suddenly explode.
"If we do not curb the flight of funds, our banking industry will be destroyed. Once a chain reaction is triggered, the financial industry will also collapse!"
"The risk of the domestic economic downturn has caused many wealthy New Yorkers to secretly transfer their assets. We must nip this trend!"
“After the zero-dollar purchase bill was passed, the immigration problem became more and more serious.”
Things to be resolved were raised one after another, and a large number of senior Fed officials who attended the meeting lowered their heads. It was obvious that they had no way to solve these difficult problems.
In the past, they would have proposed letting the market run its course and find a hard-supported market bottom.
But can they do this now?
The answer is no.
Why say no?
Because they did this before, there was no financial market to compete with the United States. Even if it keeps falling, global investment institutions will keep their eyes on the opportunity to buy the United States at the bottom.
This is a bit like a monopoly business, and we don’t worry about you not buying it at all.
But as the "financial monopoly" is broken and international funds have more choices, there is no need for them to accompany the United States to find the bottom of the market. They can completely change the market.
To put it simply, if the United States chooses to let it go, the remaining international funds may have to flee.
Once international funds choose to withdraw collectively, the United States, which relies on finance to build its country, will be like a bank that has been hollowed out and will collapse in an instant.
Only now did they realize that the fruits of the wave of globalization were poisonous.
Without the foundation of the low-end industrial chain, any typhoon is enough to plunge the United States into a precarious crisis.
"This is already the 37th meeting. I hope everyone can put forward valuable suggestions and face the current difficulties together."
Davich glanced at the crowd.
Compared to a few months ago, he was visibly haggard.
Now he not only has to take into account the U.S. dollar exchange rate, but also ensures the price of gold, and also maintains the U.S. economy.
He once naively thought that the Rothschild family could help him settle everything, but in the face of a national financial crisis, the family behind him was helpless.
Because the Dragon Kingdom is not only about finance, but also comes with military deterrence.
The logic of the United States in the past did not dare to be applied to the Long Kingdom.
"At present, the yield rate of Longguo's stock market has dropped significantly. Why not raise interest rates again to test the attitude of international funds?"
Ian Green speaks out.
Although he looks ordinary and even a little short-sighted, he is the fourth in command of the Federal Reserve Bank of America, and the family power behind him has the shadow of the two major conglomerates, Onsa and Judea.
Families betting on both ends like this are not uncommon in the United States.
Even many descendants of the Onsa consortium and the Jewish consortium will specifically seek out descendants of the other consortium to marry in order to seek "funding" in terms of funds or rights.
"According to the current yield rate of the Longguo stock market, we have to increase it to at least 20% to be on par with them. This is a very dangerous idea. Our industrial output can no longer support continuous interest rate increases."
Someone immediately analyzed and refuted it.
It was not Karami who retorted, but William Ellis, the fifth-in-command at the Federal Reserve Bank of America. He was an analyst and was very sensitive to data.
During this time, he also paid attention to the rise of Longguo's stock market.
Although the upward trend has slowed down, in the past five trading days, the Golden Dragon Technology Index, Hang Seng Index, and Weighted Index still have an average increase of 19%, and the Golden Dragon Technology Index has increased by as high as 25%, unparalleled.
If the U.S. doesn’t raise interest rates by 20%, why will funds flow back?
You must know that international funds are all about profit. It is like a "fair-weather friend". If you have fair-weather, it will come by itself even if you don't shout. If you don't have fair-weather, then sorry, no one else will come if you shout until your throat is broken.
"So it's just a trial, raising interest rates to a smaller extent to see the attitude of international funds." Ian Green shrugged.
None of them had experience dealing with this kind of financial predicament.
You must know that Davich emphasized that he cannot freely search for the bottom of the market. They may have already proposed to let it develop.
"How about contacting the parliament and adding Longxing Group to the list of military-related industries?"
As soon as someone thought of hitting the snake seven inches, Davidic shook his head and said: "It has been included, and its effect is very limited."
Not to mention Longxing Group, Longguo companies that are close to Longxing Group, such as Rice Company, Kunpeng Company, ByteDance, etc., have all been included in the DOD list.
"Ahem."
When everyone was helpless, two dry coughs caught everyone's attention.
"Wei Yan..."
Davich looked forward to it.
As if feeling his expectations, Wei Yan's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he said in a deep voice: "With the current economic situation, if you want to risk your life before surviving, you can only muddy the water first."
"How to confuse it?"
Davidic asked quickly.
Not only him, but other senior officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of America showed great expectations.
Wei Yan did not give up the opportunity to show himself, and said what he was thinking: "Artificially create a financial crisis so that international funds will no longer pursue returns, but will instead switch to safe-haven properties."
"But Longguo's intercontinental missiles..."
Before Davic finished speaking, Wei Yan responded in a deep voice: "Compared to rebuilding basic industries, re-checking the fault points of intercontinental missiles, I feel it is relatively simple."
Now if you want to break the situation, either the United States will restart and accelerate the construction of basic industries and take back cheap orders from Asia.
Or it will confuse the water and let funds from all over the world seek safe havens.
Before others can speak, Wei Yan continued: "Besides, we still have gold mines, and gold is a natural safe-haven asset."
Although Longguo has already laid out the Middle East and established a special economic and trade zone with Saudi Arabia, the United States and Israel are still far ahead in terms of control over resources.
Moreover, in South Africa, 90% of the gold mines are controlled by American capital.
This can actually explain the fundamental reason why other countries are either unable to recover or their strength is greatly reduced after each round of financial crisis, but the United States is becoming more and more prosperous.
The financial crisis is a crisis for the world, but it is an opportunity for the United States. Whether it is man-made or not, we can only wait for the archives to be declassified hundreds of years later.
"Financial crisis..."
"Financial crisis..."
Davic murmured to himself.
Other senior officials of the Federal Reserve looked at each other at this moment. Some of them actually knew what the nature of the financial crisis was.
After Wei Yan opened the "Pandora's Box", they seemed to have found their direction.
At the same time.
On the other side.
The headquarters building of the European Union.
During this period, all EU countries sent representatives to conduct several rounds of secret discussions.
Why do we have to discuss in secret?
Two words, jealous!
How did you say that? Although your own failure is very uncomfortable, your friend's success is even more heartbreaking.
Since the Dragon Country Currency can challenge the US dollar and the Dragon Country Stock Market can challenge the United States, why can't the euro? Why can't the European Union do that?
In fact, it's not just the European Union. Japan, South Korea, and the bears are all eager to try, and even some countries in the Middle East and Africa are ready to move.
They all want to keep their interests firmly in their own hands, or in other words, they don't want to be exploited by the United States anymore.
The United States' identity as the largest consumer country and the welfare of its people are the result of the blood of people from other countries. Globalized trade sounds good, but in essence, it is actually a method that the United States came up with for "cheap labor."
...
Shencheng, Dragon Country.
As the sun and the moon rotate, the time agreed by Chen Xing and Wang Shan came in the blink of an eye.
After Wang Shan's personal reservation, the Four Seasons Hotel in Futian District was booked and no other guests would be entertained tonight.
At this time, Wang Shan personally led people to greet him at the door of the hotel.
As the saying goes, it is better to attack the heart.
If he wants to persuade Gu Ren to join the national nuclear fusion project, he must show some sincerity, otherwise why would he leave his wealth and glory to enjoy it and go to the northwest to hide his identity?
"It's almost eight o'clock, it should be here."
Qin Long glanced at the time and kept looking at the intersection.
Zhang Zhongchun, Yin Songyang, and Hao Zidong, three academicians of the School of Materials, also kept an eye on the vehicles on the road, trying to find Chen Xing's customized version of the Linghang 001 car.
The traffic on the road was controlled, and there was not much traffic. As long as Chen Xing appeared in the car, they could easily identify it.
"Hey, there is a convoy."
Zhang Zhongchun suddenly reminded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found a plain-looking convoy led by the Linghang 001 car in the front.
"Linghang 001 leads the way, is it Mr. Chen?"
"The one in the middle is a Coaster, right? Could it be that there are quite a few people who are going to the appointment?"
"It is transported by bus, could it be that Chen Xing has another trump card to explain?"
"It is possible."
In Longguo, you can mess with Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini, but if you encounter a Coaster bus, it is best to avoid it, because you never know what kind of heavyweight can get off the bus.
The reason why the Coaster can be selected as a designated official vehicle is not only because it is low-end, but also because of its comfort.
Among all the buses, Coaster can be ranked in the top three in terms of comfort.
"Beep--"
The front car honked and the warning lights turned on.
After a while.
The convoy stopped in front of the hotel.
The leading Linghang 001 and the Linghang 001 behind only had drivers, and they only played the role of protecting the middle Coaster.
As the bus door opened, Chen Xing took the lead and walked down.
"Brother Chen, thank you for the appointment."
"Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen."
Wang Shan, Qin Long and others came forward one after another.
While they greeted Chen Xing, they also looked at the passengers on the Coaster bus through the open door.
"One, two, three, four, five, at least seven or eight people, what is Chen Xing doing?" Qin Long muttered in his heart.
According to what Chen Xing said before, the room-temperature superconducting material was developed by Gu Ren himself. Qin Long and Wang Shan also recognized his ability and wanted Gu Ren to go to the nuclear fusion project in the northwest. Now that so many people are suddenly involved, he is a little confused.
"What are these?"
Wang Shan looked at the men and women getting off the car and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Let me introduce it to you." Chen Xing took a step aside and looked at Gu Ren and said, "This is Gu Ren, chief material officer of Longxing Group. Superconducting materials were developed by him."
"Are you Gu Ren?"
Wang Shan quickly reached out his hand and praised without hesitation: "I thought Brother Chen was very young, but I didn't expect you to be younger than him. You really have a bright future, you are young and promising!"
"Excellent, I was just lucky."
Gu Ren responded modestly.
But for him, age is indeed a highlight.
Because he interrupted his studies and joined the Longxing Group in 2014, he is a proper "veteran" figure.
While his peers were still looking for jobs, studying for master's degrees, or going abroad, he was already at the top of his peers, earning an annual salary of 5 million yuan, not counting the year-end bonus.
"Although there is a certain degree of randomness in materials science, it is not completely random. Brother Gu is too humble." Qin Long, standing aside, joked with a smile.
"This is Wang Shan. You can call me Chief Wang like me. This is Qin Long, the dean of the Academy of Dragon Science. These three are..."
Chen Xing acted as a middleman and introduced each other.
Gu Ren's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that it was "Dean of Long Academy of Science." He finally reacted and said quickly: "So you are Dean Qin Long. When I was a freshman, I took your course as an elective."
"oh?"
Qin Long was surprised and asked: "What university did you graduate from?"
"The suspension of study I applied for is from Beijing University."
"It turns out that I am a student of Peking University. No wonder I can achieve achievements beyond the reach of ordinary people at this age."
"Thank you for your praise."
After Gu Ren got acquainted with Wang Shan, Qin Long and others, Chen Xing looked sideways at Lingchuan, who had no expression on his face, as if he was taking everything lightly and said: "Chief Wang, Dean Qin, why don't we go in first? It's okay to stand at the door and chat." thing."
Just after he finished speaking, he hinted in a subtle way: "I have prepared a big gift for you this time, which will definitely make your jaw drop."
The words just fell.
Wang Shan and Qin Long looked at each other.
Jaw dropped?
Chen Xing seemed to be really surprised.
If nothing unexpected happened, this surprise came from these men and women who were not very good-looking.
Gu Ren had met Lingchuan before, he was the chief of the Battery Energy Laboratory, but if he remembered correctly, the Battery Energy Laboratory focused on lithium batteries and sulfide, oxide, and polymer batteries.
Is it possible that Longxing Group is also researching the direction of controllable nuclear fusion?
"That's right, let's go in first."
Wang Shan came to his senses and greeted immediately.
"That's right, go to the hotel first, and we'll talk in the private room later."
"This way please."
"Mr. Chen please."
A large crowd of people entered the Four Seasons Hotel in Futian District, Shenzhen City, and followed the hotel staff to the private room.
As soon as they entered the box, before Wang Shan and Qin Long assigned seats, Chen Xing looked at Ling Chuan and said, "Chief Ling, you are all engaged in nuclear energy, so please sit next to Dean Qin."
"???"
"???"
"???"
One sentence made Wang Shan, Qin Long, including Zhang Zhongchun and others stunned on the spot.
In nuclear energy?
Does Longxing Group really have a nuclear energy laboratory?
