Chapter 654 Far East Expeditionary Force (1)

"God, you finally evacuated the overseas Chinese from Java. This is the best news I have received in the past few months. To be honest, I don't know how to compile it. Now I understand how difficult it is for you to do the work in the old time and space, that is, the Office of Military Equipment and Foreign Relations Research and Public Opinion Guide."

"You misunderstood. We didn't have such an institution in the old time and space. What you said is too exaggerated. In fact, your work has been going well over the past six months, and you have already pulled the bonds below 70%.

"But that's not enough. Our goal is to pull the bonds below 50% so that we can make a profit. However, with the news of your evacuation from Java, I am confident enough. But then again, you were really uncooperative some time ago. If it weren't for the news of your evacuation from Java, the bonds would probably rebound again in another week. I wonder if you are our partners."

"That's not a solution, because the government is considering the overall situation, it is impossible to consider only bonds. Moreover, we have invested more than 7 million US dollars and fulfilled our partners' obligations. The rest should be for you to find a way. If we do everything well, what else should we do with you? And so now, hasn't we successfully pulled the bonds below 70%? This means there is still a way."

"That's because the method you taught us is indeed effective, so we can still pull the bonds below 70% under such unfavorable conditions, so your sfa is really amazing. By the way, you should have set up this institution now."

"I say again, we don't have this institution, we didn't have it, and we didn't have it now."

After the Poetsmouth negotiations ended, the East China government and Thomas Anderson, who was also a time traveler, reached a consensus on interests and were preparing to join forces to short the East China government's bonds as the first cooperation between the two sides. The East China government also sent a working group to be responsible for the cooperation and docking work with Anderson. The person who specialized in the negotiations with Anderson was named Han Hongtao. He was originally a time travel soldier. Later, he joined the Ministry of Security. Because of his solid English skills, he was sent to the United States to be responsible for intelligence work.

Although Anderson was an American agent in the old time and space, not a financial expert, the United States in the old time and space was a country dominated by financial capital. Capital tycoons gathered, short selling and selling highs were very common. Therefore, they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Anderson was still very experienced in this.

The principle of financial speculation is not complicated. It is nothing more than using various techniques to criticize or praise a certain financial product, buy when it falls to the bottom, or sell when it reaches its peak. However, the operation is very complicated, because both buying and selling are going against the market, so it will inevitably attract attention. However, Anderson has his own way. He first discussed with different people and registered more than 100 accounts in total to diversify his goals, so it will not attract attention. At the same time, he hired writers in major influential newspapers in the United States to hype financial products.

Most of the wealth Anderson earned in this era was obtained through this method. He had already mastered this operation method. This time he planned to borrow bonds from the East China government and do a big deal and make a complete comeback. Therefore, he was full of confidence.

After the breakdown of the Poetsmouth negotiations, Britain and France led the establishment of the Far East Expeditionary Force and prepared to intervene in the Far East War by force. Anderson seized this opportunity and instructed the hired writers to publish articles in various newspapers, trying his best to criticize the East China government and remind the American people to be careful of the risks of East China government bonds, because once the East China government fails, it is likely that it will be unable to repay the principal of the bonds. As expected, the effect was very significant after this operation. Retail investors lowered prices and sold East China government bonds, causing the bonds to plummet, and once fell to more than 60%. Anderson acquired bonds through all accounts he controlled, and quietly acquired bonds of more than 20 million US dollars.

But at this moment, the East China government first sent troops to recover Chenyang, wiped out 300,000 Russian troops, and launched the Manzhouli Battle, defeated the Russian army, recovered Manzhouli, and completely drove the Russian army out of China. This series of victories greatly boosted the confidence of the American people in East China government bonds, so the bonds suddenly rose sharply, reaching more than 90% in just one week, with a peak of 94%, which is infinitely close to the normal price of East China government bonds.

Anderson couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Fortunately, Han Hongtao taught him a set of operating methods, first of all, trying his best to degrade the victory of the East China government, saying that this was just a partial victory and was not enough to change the overall situation. Moreover, the victory of the East China government was in the Northeast battlefield, and the expeditionary force came from the sea. Therefore, this victory was worthless to the East China government and used the wrong direction.

At the same time, it tried hard to downplay the losses of the Russian army, believing that although the Russian army had failed, Russia itself was strong, and Britain and France provided funds for Russia, which could quell the domestic economic crisis and give Russia enough energy to send more troops to the Far East. It also pretended that there was internal news that Russia had planned to invest another 500,000 troops into the Far East, etc.

Sure enough, after these operations, East China government bonds showed a downward trend. The capital of Bijing was not developed in this era, and almost all the information could only be obtained from newspapers. Most Americans are not familiar with China and the Far East. Therefore, they can only believe whatever the newspaper says. After the newspapers repeatedly criticized the East China government, the confidence of the American people in the East China government will naturally shake. Some people began to sell bonds, and Anderson also sold more than 10 million US dollars of bonds through his many accounts. After so many bonds were invested in the financial market, it immediately caused panic among many American people and sold them together, which triggered an avalanche decline in East China government bonds. After two weeks, it finally pulled down East China government bonds to about 70%. And after the bonds fell, Anderson repurchased, and in the end not only recovered all the bonds sold before, but also purchased more than 3 million US dollars in bonds, totaling about 2,300 US dollars.

However, the bonds were only stable for less than two months. The East China government launched another battle to land in Japan and defeated the Japanese army. At the same time, it also dispatched a evacuation fleet to evacuate the Chinese nation in Java and defeated the British Far East Fleet.

但这一次安德森己有了准备,在撤侨舰队出动之前,就先给民众打预防针,认为远东舰队不是撤侨舰队的对手,而在纳土纳群岛海战结束之后,又极力的渲场远征军舰队的强大,既使华东政府击败了远东舰队,也不足以改变双方的实力对比,并且又诈称撤侨舰队虽然获胜,但自身的损失也不小,其实只是一场惨胜,因此等远征军到达以后,华东政府根本无力抵抗等等.

正是由于有了这些提前的预备行动,这一次总算是稳住了债券的波动,虽然只是小有起伏,但最终还是保持在7成左右,不过这个价格显然还是不能够让人满意的,还需要对债券价格进行进一步的打压,正好这时撤侨舰队己从爪哇撤离,正好可以借这个机会,进一步的唱衰华东政府,打压债券的价格.因此韩洪涛才约见安德森,协商下一步的行动.

Anderson said: "But I still have to thank you this time. Without your help, this action would not have been successful."

Han Hongtao said: "You're welcome, we need to help each other now. However, the expeditionary fleet has arrived in Singapore and will reach the East Asian waters in about a month, and the war will not last too long, so it's best to complete all the work within one month."

Anderson said: "Don't worry, I'm already sure, and I'll start the action soon. This time, within one week, I'll lower the bonds to below 50%, or even 40%, and then buy them at the lowest level. The goal is to buy at least $25 million in bonds. You just wait and collect the money."

韩洪涛也点了点头,这次华东政府原计划投入500万美元,最终投入了700万美元,而安德森自筹了500万美元,双方合计1200万美元.而按照安德森的承诺,是要支付给华东政府2倍的报酬,因此最终是要付给华东政府1400美元.如果最终能够购入2500万美元的债券,那么安德森将收获1100万美元,以及相应的债券利息,而再除去相关的费用,最终的收获约在1000万美元左右.这个收获当然是十分巨大,将使安德森由百万富翁,晋升为千万富翁级别.

华东政府前后两批共计在美国市场发行了价值3000万英镑的债券,折算成美元约1.45亿美元,而安德森操作的债券仅仅只在2500美元左右,还不足总价的两成,而且收割的基本是散户,对那些资本大鳄并不会造成什么威胁,因为资本大鳄的资本雄厚,而且他们的信息来源丰富,掌握的情况也要比散户全面,不会因短时的波动而轻易抛售,这也给了安德森足够的操作空间.
