Berlin, the cosmopolitan metropolis, suddenly became deserted, it was almost 11 o'clock, and rows of shops were still closed.

A familiar and unfamiliar term came to Hans's mind – "strike".

As if having thought of something, what Hans immediately ran to the telegraph company.

Looking at the oncoming protest procession, Hans involuntarily stopped, and after seeing a few familiar figures, he turned around and left.

There was no way, the employees of the telegraph company took to the streets to protest, and it was impossible to get the news back at this time.

On the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Flores is staring at the analysis of trading data that is constantly updated.

This is also one of the benefits that come with renting, you don't need to go to the hall to see the data, just send someone to the background to make a list.

In recent times, the stock market has generally stabilized, and except for a few stocks that have been trapped, everything else has been growing slowly.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile, and the person who came was Fei Lun, the owner of another securities company in the office.

The three companies that are peers can be crammed into one office, and the relationship goes without saying.

In this stock market, where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, holding together is also the way for small securities companies to survive.

Flores asked with concern: "Feron, I see that you are in a good mood, what good news have you brought?" ”

Information sharing is also part of cooperation. For brokers, it is necessary to keep an eye on market changes, and it is essential to collect intelligence.

Large securities companies have special teams in charge, and small securities companies like Flores have limited financial resources and cannot afford to maintain such a team, so they can only jointly collect intelligence.

First-hand information is also a key factor for securities firms to outperform retail investors. Tie Hanhan, who didn't know anything, just plunged into it, basically would be left in the pit.

Fellan smiled: "There is news from Berlin that the Prussian government has decided to compromise, and our trapped stocks will be untied immediately." ”

Flores frowned, not seeming to be impressed by the "good news".

"How is this possible, with the finances of the Prussian government, which simply cannot afford to bear so many debts, what ...... they take"

The latter words, Flores involuntarily swallowed back. He did not think that Pheren was lying on the subject, and it was a matter of telegram to verify.

Pheren said confidently: "Don't worry, the Prussian government has no money, which does not mean that it will not be able to get money."

It is said that more than a dozen major banks, including Deutsche Bank, Bank of Austria, and Bank of England, are forming a banking consortium and are negotiating with the Prussian government.

A preliminary agreement has been reached to form a new bank to issue 200 million Aegis bonds on behalf of the Berlin government, in return for which they will act as agents for Prussia's note-issuing business. ”

Speaking of this, Feron looked at him with envy. Issuing money is definitely a dream business for people in the financial world.

Everyone knows that the closer you are to the money, the easier it is to make money. As long as the bank can obtain the right to issue notes, it does not have to worry about the problem of funds.

Flores also knew about the banking syndicate. It's just that it wasn't because of negotiations with Prussia that the main reason he noticed was "shorting the mark".

It is the norm in the financial world to start cooperating again.

After pondering for a moment, Flores: "What are you going to do, do you want to buy the bottom?" ”

Without waiting for Feren to answer, a staff member hurriedly ran in: "Mr. Flores, the good news is that the stock we are trapped in has begun to rise." ”

Faerun's face changed drastically: "Oops, the news has leaked." We have to be fast, we can't drink the soup any later. ”

……

There are many people who make the same choice, and the stock exchange has become buzzing.

It's just that what they don't know is that on the roof, the four major brokers at the top of the food chain are beginning to evacuate.

An old man sitting on a couch smoking a cigar asked, "How long can the news be blocked?" ”

The middle-aged man in green clothes replied, "Mr. Will, you can hold out for two days at most, and it is possible that it will be debunked today."

Although we used the telegraph company to publish false news, the sudden interruption of the telegram between the two places will still attract the attention of those who are interested. ”

This is inevitable, Berlin and Frankfurt are both metropolises, and the trade between the two sides is very frequent, and hundreds of telegrams come and go every day, and it is not surprising that they are suddenly cut off and unobtrusive.

Line maintenance, it's okay to fool ordinary people. Since the telegraph was connected between the two places, there has never been a signal interruption of more than eight hours.

But it is even more problematic not to interrupt the telegraph contact, which is to be exposed in minutes.

Will nodded, "It's already good, it's surprising to be able to buy so much time."

There is not much time left for us, now let's go and arrange, close the position in the shortest possible time, and recover the loss as much as possible. ”

There was no way, the Berlin government suddenly overturned the table and caught them off guard.

Unlike the stocks below, they are shorting the mark this time, and if they don't run away quickly, they will lose a lot.

……

Compared with the gloom of Will and others, the atmosphere of the next-door neighbor Bedoufu Securities Company is much more harmonious.

Everyone is shorting the mark, but people are different, and Beduofu Securities Company is not so greedy, and after making a profit, he withdrew.

Thales regretted: "Well's old fox is finally still loaded, but if you stop the loss in time now, it shouldn't hurt his vitality." ”

Peers are naked hatred, don't look at the four major securities firms in Frankfurt often act together, giving the outside world the feeling that this is an alliance, in fact, it is their allies who want the other party to finish the other party the most.

Philosopher smiled: "That's not necessarily, when you're on the side, you lose it, and the situation is different now."

There are signs that an economic crisis is coming. If you don't have enough cash in hand at this time, who knows what will happen next? ”

Bedofer's chief executive, Skvizhka, interrupted the two right-hand men: "Okay, two, Will is not unlucky, that's a matter of the future, it's not yet the time to fall into the well, and the impact is not good." ”

"Mr. Skrvizhka, Vienna call!"

"It's coming!"

With that, Skrvizhka walked over quickly.

……

After half a sound, Skrvirika walked out with a blank face.

"Both, here's your job. From now on, we will sell all the stocks and bonds in our hands as much as possible.

Cash, and now we need a lot of cash. ”

Philos wondered: "President, the domestic economy is still in good shape, even if it is affected by this incident, it will not collapse."

In recent times, we have cashed out 80 million Aegis, which is enough to deal with any crisis.

What happened that we don't know about, or is there a lack of money at headquarters? ”

As a dragon in the cross-river, Beduofu Securities can become one of the four major brokerages in Frankfurt, and has never been affected by the rules, which shows how strong the background is.

Financially, there are close cooperative relations with many Austrian banks, and there has never been a shortage of money, which is all done by the headquarters, and Filros does not think that the headquarters will be short of money.

After hesitating for a moment, Skrvizhka nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you, you'll know later anyway."

This time we are going to do a big vote, the headquarters decided to short the franc, and you are all one of the traders.

Not only will we participate, but half of the world's top 20 securities companies will participate.

This is a joint operation of British and Austrian capital, and you may have heard of it, and the international bank syndicate that caused a stir not long ago.

I don't know more details, but in short, you just need to be mentally prepared. ”

"Short franc", the two of them were bold and stunned by the news.

Unlike the Mark, the French economy is much larger. Prior to this, there were no fewer cases of shorting the franc in the world, but they all ended in failure.

This time the organization is so large, and even uses Prussia as a cover, it is certainly not as simple as it seems.

Thales waved his hand and said, "It seems a little difficult to short the franc, can I pretend that I haven't heard anything?" ”

Skovezka smiled slightly: "It's a pity that it's too late to say this.

I hope it won't be long before someone will come and keep us safe, and you can talk to them.

But I personally suggest that you better keep your mouth shut, because if something bad happens, it's going to kill you. ”

The two nodded helplessly, curiosity killing the cat. If they don't know anything, they still have the opportunity to refuse to participate.

Now that you know the "short franc", if you want to quit, you can only lie down and go out.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that this group can be regarded as a consortium of British and Austrian financial circles, with a total of thirteen large banks participating.

Seeing that the two of them were not in a good mood, Skovishka comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic, it's just a short franc, and it's not for your life, is that so?" ”

After adjusting his mood, Thales quickly recovered, made an exaggerated expression and said, "No, my Mr. President.

With such a big deal, I don't know how many big people are involved, and if we mess up, who can guarantee that we won't be angry? ”
