Chapter three hundred and three, big business
In Berlin, this international metropolis suddenly became deserted. It was almost past 11 o'clock, and rows of shops were closed and closed.
A familiar and unfamiliar noun entered Hans' mind - "strike".
It seemed as if he had thought of something Hans immediately ran to the Telegraph Company.
Looking at the oncoming protest parade, Hans couldn't help but stop, and after seeing several familiar figures, he turned around and left.
There was no way, and the employees of the Telegraph Company took to the streets to protest. It was impossible to send the news back at this time.
Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Flores is staring at the constantly updated analysis of trading data.
This is also one of the benefits provided by renting a house. You don’t need to go to the lobby to view the data, just send someone to the backend to make a list.
In recent times, the stock market has generally stabilized, except for those trapped stocks, everything else is growing slowly.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile. The person who came was Feilun, the owner of another securities company in the office.
As a peer company, the relationship is necessity.
In this stock market where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, grouping together is also the way for small securities companies to survive.
Flores asked with concern: "Feren, what good news did you bring?"
Information sharing is also part of cooperation. For securities companies, it is necessary to pay attention to market changes at all times, and collecting intelligence is essential.
Large securities companies have special teams in charge. Small securities companies like Flores have limited financial resources and cannot afford such a team, they can only jointly collect intelligence.
First-hand information is also a key factor in which securities companies can outperform retail investors. If you don’t know anything, you will basically be cheated of nothing.
Faren smiled and said, "The news came from Berlin that the Prussian government decided to compromise. Our trapped stocks will be released soon."
Flores frowned, not seemingly impressed by this "good news".
"How is this possible? With the finances of the Prussian government, they are simply unable to bear so much debt. What do they take..."
Flores couldn't help but swallow it back. He didn't think that Faren was lying on this issue, and it was only a matter of telegram to verify.
Feiren said confidently: "Don't worry, the Prussian government has no money, so it doesn't mean that it's impossible to get money.
It is said that more than a dozen large banks including Deutsche Bank, Austria Bank, and the Bank of England are forming bank groups and are negotiating with the Prussian government.
A preliminary agreement has been reached, and the parties have joined forces to form a new bank to issue 200 million bonds for the Berlin government, in return they will represent Prussian banknote issuance business.”
Speaking of this, Feiren showed envious eyes. Issuing currency is definitely a dream business for people in the financial industry.
Everyone knows that the closer you are to money, the easier it is to make money. As long as the bank can get the right to issue money, there is no need to worry about the capital.
Flores also knew about the bank group. It was not because of negotiations with Prussia that the main reason he noticed was "short Mark".
After just getting rid of others, they started to cooperate again, which is the norm in the financial industry.
After pondering for a while, Flores: "What are you planning to do? You shouldn't want to buy the bottom?"
Without waiting for Feren to answer, a staff member hurriedly ran in: "Mr. Flores, good news, our stocks trapped in are starting to rise."
Feiren's face changed drastically: "Oh no, the news has been leaked. We must be quick, and we can't drink the soup any longer."
...
There are many people who make the same choice, and the stock exchanges have become popular.
But what they didn't know was that the four major securities firms on the roof, located at the top of the food chain, were starting to evacuate.
An old man sitting on the sofa and sucking a cigar asked: "How long can the news be blocked?"
The middle-aged man in blue clothes replied: "Mr. Will, he can last for up to two days, and he may be exposed today.
Although we used the telegraph company to release fake news, the sudden interruption of telegraphs between the two places will still attract the attention of those who are interested."
This is inevitable. Berlin and Frankfurt are both metropolises. The trade exchanges on both sides are very frequent. There are hundreds of telegrams every day. It would be strange if it suddenly stops and is not eye-catching.
It’s okay to fool ordinary people with line maintenance. Since the telegrams were sent to the two places, there have been more than 8 hours of signal interruption.
But there are even more problems without interrupting the telegram contact, and it will be exposed in minutes.
Will nodded: "This is already very good, and it is already surprising to be able to buy so much time.
We don’t have much time left for us. Now everyone will make arrangements to close the position in the shortest time and recover the losses as much as possible.”
There was no way, the Berlin government suddenly overturned the table and caught them off guard.
Unlike those who play stocks below, they are shorting Mark this time. If they don’t run away quickly, the losses will be huge.
...
Compared to the bleakness of Will and others, the atmosphere of the neighbor Bedouf Securities Company next door is much more harmonious.
Everyone is shorting Mark, but people are different. Bedouf Securities is not that greedy and then withdraws after making a fortune.
Thales said regretfully: "Will's old fox is finally loaded, but if you stop the loss in time, it shouldn't hurt his vitality."
The peers are naked hatred. Don’t think that the four major securities companies in Frankfurt often act together to give the outside world the feeling that this is an alliance. In fact, the ones who want the other party to be the ones who are the ones who are the ones who want the other to be the ones most.
Feier Ross smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. When you are by your side, you will lose the loss. The situation is different now.
All signs indicate that the economic crisis is coming. At this time, there is not enough cash in hand, so who knows what will happen next?"
Bedoufo Executive President Skevirika interrupted two right-hand assistants: "Okay, two, Will is not unlucky. That is the future. It is not time to add to the injustice. It has been reported that it has a bad impact."
"Mr. Skvizjka, Vienna phone!"
"Here you come!"
After saying that, Skvirika quickly walked over.
...
After a while, Skevirika walked out expressionlessly.
"Two, your job is here. From now on, sell out all the stocks and bonds in our hands as much as possible.
Cash, now we need a lot of cash.”
Feier Ross wondered: "President, the domestic economic situation is still good, and even if it is impacted by this incident, it will not collapse.
In recent times, we have cashed out 80 million ASCH, which is enough to cope with any crisis.
What happened that we didn’t know, or was the headquarters short of money?”
As a cross-river, Bedoufu Securities has been able to become one of the four major brokerages in Frankfurt and has never been affected by the rules. It can be seen how powerful the backend is.
In terms of economics, he has close cooperation with several Austrian banks and has never been short of money. This is all done by the headquarters. Feierros does not think that the headquarters will be short of money.
After hesitating for a while, Skevirika nodded: "Okay, let me tell you, you will know later anyway.
This time we are going to do a big vote. The headquarters decided to short the francs. You are all one of the traders.
Not only do we want to participate, but half of the top 20 securities companies in the world will participate.
This is a joint operation between Britain and Austria Capital. You may have heard of it. The international banking group that caused a lot of controversy not long ago.
I don’t know more about the details, but you can just be mentally prepared.”
"Short the franc", the two of them were very bold and were shocked by the news.
Unlike Mark, France's economic plate is much larger. Before this, there were no shorting of francs in the world, but they all ended in failure.
The organization is so large this time that it is even using Prussia as a cover, which is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Thales waved his hand and said, "It seems a bit difficult to short the franc. Can I pretend that I haven't heard anything?"
Skvirika smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, it's too late to say this now.
I won’t have long before someone comes to protect our safety. You can talk to them.
But I personally recommend that you should be more stern, if something goes wrong, it will kill people."
The two nodded helplessly, curiosity killed the cat. If they didn't know anything, they still had a chance to refuse to participate.
Now that I know about "short francs", if I want to withdraw, I can only lie down and go out.
The international banking group that is very popular, as long as anyone with a little common sense knows, this group can be regarded as a consortium of the British and Austrian financial circles, with a total of thirteen large banks participating.
Seeing that the two were not in high spirits, Skvizka comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic. Just shorting francs. It's not your life. So that's it?"
After adjusting his emotions, Thales quickly recovered and made an exaggerated expression and said, "No, my Mr. President."
Such a big deal, I don’t know how many big people are involved. If it is screwed up, who can guarantee that we won’t take our anger?”
