Chapter 332 No One Is a Fool
Anne pouted and said, "My lord, he rarely asks about Andrew's affairs, and as for me, I don't take it seriously."
"Okay," Li Changheng smacked Annie, "Then I don't like him either."
It's a pity that what Li Changheng said was half true and half false, he actually liked Mountbatten very much in his heart.
After all, the only veteran in the Celestial Dynasty exists because of him.
Of course, the old bus didn't have a good relationship with the Celestial Dynasty from the very beginning, but after decades of friendly relations, it is natural for him to become a veteran.
Hearing that Li Changheng said that he didn't like Mountbatten either, Annie suddenly showed a bright smile on her face.
Like a young wife, she sent Li Changheng out to the car.
Watching the Rolls-Royce drive away, he stood still and waved to Li Changheng who was looking back, until the car passed the two-meter-high garden bushes.
After he couldn't see it anymore, he went back to the villa with a little worry.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Sir-lee is so smart, nothing will happen."
Meryl explained to Annie, "Besides, it's the nobles who are asking Sir-LEE for something. No one would trouble him on that occasion."
Annie sighed, "I hope so."
Li Changheng's car drove to Knightsbridge, and when he saw Andrew's car, the guy got out of the car and sat next to him.
He said to Harry Hart, "Just follow my car."
Then he said to Li Changheng, "Henry, I asked Bell, Jeffrey, Fred, and Grosvenor to go to Gosford Manor to make sure that no one would dare to trouble you in front of us."
Li Changheng gave Andrew a white look, "It's not that others want to trouble me, but you people want me to help with something?"
"Hey." Seeing that his little thoughts had been exposed, Andrew said without hesitation, "After you asked us to buy gold to preserve value last year, although we listened to your words, we didn't buy much.
So, everyone would like to ask you, can you still buy in large sums now?
Also, my dad seems to have been buying gold for the last two years, and you must know why, right? "
Li Changheng wished he could blow Andrew away with a punch.
Lorraine, the three-faced spy, is sitting in the co-pilot seat. Does Andrew trust himself too much, thinking that everyone around him is trustworthy?
Or was he just an idiot?
Then he said, "I only know that if calculated in years, gold will definitely rise."
If this had been done two years earlier, and continued to do so.
In 1971, after the Americans found out, they would think that Philip and others were only using gold to preserve value because they were two or three years ahead of schedule.
After all, the problem of the fall of the pound has plagued the English for several years.
Philip, as the king, and the nobles wanted to preserve their wealth, and started preparing for the adventure several years in advance. It can only be said that he has excellent vision and luck.
It has nothing to do with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.
Because in 1968 and 1969, the total bucket of Americans was not the current one.
At that time, the Americans never discussed the abolition of the direct link between gold and the US dollar.
But now it has been September 70, and the dollar has become increasingly unable to withstand the downward trend.
The current head of the barrel is likely to have discussed this with his advisers and experts in the financial field this year.
Therefore, at this time, if a group of English nobles, and Andrew and other people who are very close to Li Changheng, start to exchange large sums of money for gold.
It is tantamount to robbing the United States.
Some things and words, said a year ago and now, only to do now, are completely two results.
Even without Lorraine, Li Changheng would not talk nonsense at this time.
The secrecy ability of Andrew and his group could not gain his trust at all.
Once someone broke the news that a large amount of gold was purchased, it was Andrew who spread the word.
Anyone would know that it was Li Changheng who instructed Andrew.
Even Americans would doubt whether Li Changheng knew about it from some high-ranking official.
Anti-bribery regulations, unfair competition regulations, and even the suspicion of stealing state secrets will be on his head.
Fortunately, Lorraine's presence is not all bad.
At least it would be a good thing to take her lead and pass on your ideas to C1A, and then be the current chief.
Moreover, he does not plan to short the dollar next year, or establish a long gold contract.
A very simple reason is that in the future, Americans will have the advantage of US dollars at every turn, and they will harvest the wealth of the world.
It is impossible for them to have no means of coping when the Bretton Woods system collapsed.
If this matter is stained, it will be a big trouble not to peel off the skin.
The real people in the United States will never deal with all capitalists, but if a single capitalist is caught, it is very difficult, very difficult to win the power sector.
No matter how much relationship network Li Changheng has built in the United States, as long as people get real evidence, no one can beat the law.
At most, it is to make a deal with the Ministry of Justice, fine money, or report other people, or even plead guilty to reduce the sentence.
In the future, it’s not like there will be no capitalists in the United States, who will be crushed, killed, or disgraced, and will never appear in front of the public or in the media.
As for taking advantage of the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, wantonly shorting the US dollar.
Li Changheng knew it was impossible after a little thought.
To put it bluntly, shorting is to bet against securities institutions some time in advance when a commodity will fall in the future.
Use margin as collateral to borrow a stock from China and sell it, and then buy the stock back and return it to the securities institution after the agreed time.
If it falls, of course it makes money.
And leverage is to magnify your own funds several times, or even ten times, to borrow stocks.
Of course, the current futures market is already very complete, and stocks will not be sold, real futures such as soybeans will be sold directly.
Instead, it is treated as a commodity and placed in various brokerage institutions and financial markets as a kind of value preservation.
Therefore, since the futures itself is an estimate of the future.
That is to say, if you want to go short, someone must take your short order.
Now even people like Andrew have a premonition of an opportunity and want to buy gold to make money.
Those hundreds of millions of dollars of empty orders are done at this time, and there may be retail investors who are not afraid of death or fight hard.
You can think of tens of millions, hundreds of millions to go short.
Brokers and financiers are really fools.
Looking at Andrew who was still about to talk, Li Changheng frowned and stared at him, "The Americans have already emptied their economy because of the Vietnam War.
In the nine months of this year, the foreign debt has reached a record high of more than 55 billion. Even the gold reserve has dropped from 17.5 billion US dollars in 1965 to the current 12.3 billion US dollars.
In the next year, it will continue to fall as in the past 5 years.
In this case, except for retail investors and idiots, no one will accept long gold futures contracts.
Anyone who robs the government of the United States of America will be targeted.
In the next year, please be honest with me.
Don't be sold by outsiders, and help them count the money.
Even as a scapegoat. "
"Am I that stupid?"
After Andrew complained, he whispered in his ear, "That is to say, if I secretly buy some gold myself, it will be fine?"
Li Changheng pushed Andrew away angrily.
