America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 461 Herbert Bush Smith

Tokyo,

No. 7-1, Nagata-cho 1-chome, Chiyoda-ku.

In the chamber of the neon Capitol Building.

Hayami Yu lowered his eyes and lowered his head, letting the members of Congress spray wildly.

He didn't say a word during this period. It wasn't until everyone got tired of scolding that he slowly raised his head and said slowly:

"Are you done scolding me? Are you feeling better?"

Everyone looked at Hayami Yu who looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and they suddenly became angry again.

"You idiot!"

"You stupid pig!"

"Your brain is no different than a pig's brain!"

"..."

After everyone pointed at Hayami Yu and cursed for a while, they finally stopped completely.

Yuu Hayami spoke slowly again: "Gentlemen, are you done scolding me this time?"

Everyone was speechless for a while towards this guy with a face as tough as a city wall.

Watanuki Minio and the others all stared at Yu Hayami with unkind expressions, wanting to see how he would explain next.

Hayami Yu looked at everyone and finally stopped making any sound.

He immediately said:

"Gentlemen, our situation is very serious this time. We currently hold a total of 5.6 million USD/JPY long positions in our account!"

"Hiss——"

Upon hearing the long position of 5.6 million lots, everyone in the Neon Congress took a cold breath, felt a chill on their backs, and began to sweat.

Everyone was restless, their hearts filled with huge waves, and they looked at Yu Hayami in panic.

At this time, everyone couldn't curse even if they wanted to, so they all sighed deeply.

"Keep talking!"

"We need to know how bad the situation is now!"

"Hayami Yu, finish it all at once!"

Looking at these big guys who originally supported him, Yu Hayami knew that he was finished at Neon Bank.

In the future, there is a high probability that there will be no more neon on the main stage.

so……

I'm just looking for a way out.

There is a saying in China that says, "If you don't take care of yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you!"

If they had been dedicated to serving the country, this situation would not have happened.

It's not all my fault, everyone is at fault!

Trying to comfort himself mentally, Hayami Yu said calmly:

"Gentlemen, now our 5.6 million USD/JPY long positions are all locked above the 126.000 position. Now USD/JPY may collapse at any time, and we only have 23 billion US dollars of available investment funds left. "

"If USD/JPY falls below 122.000, it may fall by more than two hundred points and fall below the 120 line."

"If we drop another 200 points, we will be liquidated. Then the positions will be liquidated by the world's major banks. At that time, these 5.6 million USD/JPY long positions will be sold one after another, USD/JPY It will continue to plummet by hundreds of points."

"We will lose more by then, and all the money we invested will be lost."

"The resulting surge in the yen exchange rate may even have a negative impact on our sluggish exports and foreign trade."

The USD/JPY trend is actually negative for the Japanese yen, which means that the Japanese yen depreciates.

Because in that case, one dollar can be exchanged for more yen.

On the other hand, if USD/JPY goes short, it is bullish for the Japanese yen and the Japanese yen appreciates.

One dollar can be exchanged for fewer yen, which makes the yen more valuable.

As mentioned before, the most important thing about a country's currency is not a high currency value or a high exchange rate, but relative stability.

Currencies with unstable exchange rates can easily attract the covetousness of international hot money, prone to violent fluctuations, and even affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

Neon is an export-oriented economy, and the excessive appreciation of the yen will have a serious impact on its main economic line.

It will seriously weaken the international competitiveness of neon products.

Although there are some advantages, for example, the appreciation of the yen will make neon spend less money when importing.

The problem is that Neon itself lacks resources and is a purely foreign trade-oriented economy.

No matter how cheap imports are, when there is little output to exchange for foreign exchange, we can use it to purchase supplies from outside.

If the yen appreciates too much and affects foreign trade, it will really affect the economic direction of the entire country.

What Hayami Yu said is exactly what the congressmen are worried about.

This is the case today, once USD/JPY falls below the 122.000 level.

It is bound to trigger a huge sell-off, and more short-sellers from the sidelines will enter the market to sell off.

The consequences are really unimaginable!

"Hayami Yu, you called all of us here today just to tell us how bad the situation is now?"

Minio Watanuki looked at Hayami Yu gloomily and said.

5.6 million USD/JPY long positions now have $23 billion left in available funds.

There seems to be a lot of available funds, but the market situation is very bad. In fact, it cannot withstand another round of... sharp decline.

One more round and the position will definitely explode.

Then this matter will definitely be exposed. In addition to their respective rat barns, everyone present may even be deeply affected by their future careers.

"Hayui Yu, what are you going to do now? Tell me what you think first!"

Watanuki Min'o could only stare at Hayami Yu and asked.

Today they summoned Yu Hayami, and naturally the situation was very serious.

I scolded and cursed just now, but things have reached such a point that it is irreversible and can only go all the way to darkness.

Watanuki Minio's words immediately made everyone look at Hayami Yu, wanting to know how to solve this crisis from Hayami Yu's mouth.

Hayami Yu saw everyone's nervousness and urgency, and he slowly said:

"Gentlemen, the matter has come to this, we have to find a way out of the current predicament first!"

"We have no way out! Because there is an abyss behind us, we cannot take a step back. Only by rushing through the swamp in front can we have a chance of survival!"

"Tell me, Hayami Yu, what are you going to do?"

The representative of the constitutional democratic party immediately asked:

"Kamei, don't be anxious, listen to me first!" Yu Hayami said to Kamei, the member of the constitutional democratic party.

"Although we were at a high level and took a long position of 5.6 million USD/JPY, we at least consumed 5.6 million short positions in the market. This also greatly proves the power of shorts in the market and also It’s consumed a lot by us.”

"Although our current situation is very bad, maybe the situation of those short sellers is also very bad, maybe even worse than us."

"Now it's about who can hold on until the end! I believe we will be able to win the final victory!!!"

In the meeting hall, Hayami Yu said impassionedly.

But he felt something else in his heart, and no one could understand it better than him.

What a dire straits they now face.

Just like holding a branch on a cliff, the branch may break at any time.

Hayami Yu wouldn't want to do that at all if he could help it.

But now, I think about the smiles of my wife, children, and grandchildren.

Hayami Yuu overcame Hengxin, and he once again firmly believed that it was not entirely his fault.

Without the support of this group of people.

If only these people would not be so selfish and think about the interests of the country.

Then he, Hayami Yu, couldn't make things become like this.

"Hayui-san, tell me, what are you going to do this time?"

Watanuki Min'o spoke again, and the boss's expression softened slightly.

Even calling Hayami Yu by his first name, he added "san".

"Hayami Yu, tell me!"

"Hayami Yu, what are you going to do this time?"

"Just fight!"

"If you work hard, there will be at least one activity!"

"Yes, maybe we can defeat those short sellers and turn defeat into victory!"

It's the latter that's important.

Only by blowing up the short sellers and turning defeat into victory, can they, the long-term rat traders, make up for their losses and even make huge profits.

As for the failure, Neon Bank may lose hundreds of billions of funds.

The country's economy will also be affected.

Few of the congressmen present could think of this.

As for whether they didn't think of it, it's because they didn't want to think about it, or they pretended not to think about it.

Only they themselves know.

Since then, the bubble was punctured by the American master 10 years ago and the essence was drained.

In fact, most of the neon lights in the country as a whole are similar to the congressmen in front of me.

They are all covering their eyes and deceiving themselves.

Hayami Yu looked at everyone's reactions.

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said seriously:

"Everyone, we can buy another 2.5 million long orders this time!"

"Now the short sellers in the market have been almost exhausted by us. They are counterattacking us crazily and are struggling to death. Although the USD/JPY is now near 123.000, we can scan goods at a lower position and buy Buy USD/JPY and push it up! Let the short sellers blow up their positions! Even though they have a huge advantage now, in fact they are just paper tigers!"

After saying that, Hayami Yu's face became calm and confident, but only he knew the pain in his heart.

Hearing what Hayami Yu said, everyone looked at each other.

Morgan + Rockefeller + Smith.

Paper tiger?

Few MPs think so.

But the problem now is that if we don’t continue to invest money, we won’t pull the USD/JPY up.

Then the money in their pockets will be ruined.

If you use the country's money to try to pull up the USD/JPY, you may fail and you may lose more.

But...what does that have to do with them?

Neon Bank only lost hundreds of billions of dollars, but it’s not like it can’t afford to lose!

For lawmakers, the situation is actually quite simple.

Two options.

One is to stop losses in time. If Neon Bank loses tens of billions of dollars, they themselves must lose millions to tens of millions of dollars.

One is that Neon Bank may lose more.

But with their own money, in the process of the USD/JPY rising, they hope to arbitrage and leave early, or leave the market with as little flesh as possible.

This multiple-choice question is not difficult to choose.

"Hayami-san, this method might really work!"

"Hayami-san, then give it a try! The country is your strong backing."

"I don't believe those rice beasts can succeed. Come on, Hayami-san!"

"..."

Just now they were all called "Hayami Yu" angrily, but now they have a chance to redeem themselves and become Hayami-san again.

After listening to everyone speak up, they agreed to my plan.

Hayami Yu suddenly felt extremely ecstatic and a little sad at the same time.

He thought to himself:

"These idiots are all maggots of the country! But we can just use them, maybe we can fight back. Even if it doesn't work, then I have completed the mission. I am worthy of myself."

After convincing everyone in Congress, let Congress persuade the Prime Minister.

Hayami Yu regained his position.

His special economic action teams originally had a balance of US$23 billion in funds.

There was also an increase, with an additional US$27 billion, for a total of US$50 billion.

Including the previously invested principal and margin, Neon Bank’s total investment in this USD/JPY market exceeded US$100 billion for the first time.

The news soon reached people as far away as New York State.

In Kikwit Manor, after David and John Cleese received the news.

"boom--"

The head of the Morgen family excitedly hammered the glass table in front of him.

It hurt, but John Cleese was excited.

"Hey - I didn't expect that guy would think of me again."

David whispered.

John Cleese said nonchalantly: "The triangle is more stable. And this is the Neon people's money, which is enough for us to share."

David nodded slightly and looked at John Chris, "I don't know what that guy's expression is now. He escaped and was able to make a lot of profits. Chris, I have to say that we can't stop him." Him."

"I don't know." John Cleese wasn't interested in knowing either.

All he wants now is to reach into the Neon Man's wallet and put the dollar bills belonging to the Neon Man into his pocket.

As for Abe Smith?

who cares.

John Cleese believes that at most it is just one more chair and one more powerful voice on the Federal Reserve’s Federal Advisory Committee.

No matter what, it is not a matter of life and death for Morgan and Rockefeller.

Unless Abel can bring all the other financial groups together and become a more terrifying existence than Morgan and Rockefeller.

Otherwise, it would just be one more of the same kind.

Although this will squeeze some of Morgen's voice.

But when there is no way to suppress it easily, it may only be possible to do so at great cost.

Compromise is one of the choices capitalists are willing to make.

After all, since Abel is in power, he won’t hang them up as street lights...

Abel himself also hung street lights, so John Cleese felt that there was no need to worry at all.

Look at John Cleese looking like he doesn't care.

"Why--"

David could only sigh again.

The old guy was thinking about what the kid was doing at this time.

…

The "boy" David was thinking about.

At this time, he was already at Changi Airport in Singapore, boarded his "Smith" private plane, and set off for India.

Inside the cabin of the Boeing 747 wide-body passenger aircraft, which is as luxurious as a palace in the sky.

Next to her is little Laura sleeping.

Abel himself was holding a satellite phone and communicating with his subordinates.

"What about US$36.5 billion? Continue to hold the position. The time to close the position has not come yet, and we can still maximize profits..."

“Don’t stop Smith Media’s IPO, but let’s include Morgan Chase Bank as one of the IPO institutions...”

"George Prescott Bush went to Pacific Energy? You mean Herbert? Well, I don't know what the old man wants to do. Keep an eye on him and let him take care of him a little, so as not to put his life in danger. But eat A little pain is always inevitable, and I believe the shrubs are also happy to see it..."

"I may not go back until June. According to the process, Michael will take over as the rotating CEO of Smith Media..."

"..."

After several phone calls, half an hour has passed.

The plane also crossed the strait and flew into the Indian Ocean.

He took the somewhat heavy satellite phone and turned it around in his hand.

Abel thought for a while and dialed again.

"it's me."

Herbert, who was far away in Texas, received a call from Abel.

He took the satellite phone and walked out of his bedroom, standing on the bedroom balcony, looking at the beautiful Colorado River in the distance.

The old man smiled and replied: "Well, I heard that you left Singapore. Are you still in the sky now?"

"Yes." Abel said softly: "Herbert, thank you this time."

"Ha ha--"

"This is the first time I heard you say thank you to me. But I want to say that there is no need to say thank you between us. Because we are a family."

"Shrub's belief is family unity. Abel, you are little Laura's husband. You are also a member of the big Shrub family. Helping you is helping ourselves, so there is no need for you to say such things."

Listening to Herbert's gentle words, Abel fell silent.

Abel knew that Morgan and Rockefeller could agree to cooperate with him so quickly this time.

In addition to the huge benefits visible to the naked eye.

In fact, the Bush family, or Herbert, contributed a lot.

Don't look at the Bush family, they are now one of the representatives of Texas' wealthy families.

When I talk about shrubs, I think they are representatives of the military-industrial complex.

But in fact, in the past, in Herbert's grandfather's generation.

The Shrub family can actually only be regarded as one of Rockefeller's vassal families.

Herbert's grandfather, Samuel Bush, was once the general manager of Rockefeller Oil.

He was a generation of steel and oil tycoons from the Gilded Age.

Samuel's son Prescott, Herbert's father, although holding his father-in-law, Otsuki retired to the throne.

But at that time they were still one of Rockefeller's vassals.

Prescott could become a senator, and Rockefeller was one of the many supporters.

By Herbert's generation.

Herbert came to Texas to buy property in search of oil and start an oil company, and the journey was so smooth.

In addition to Herbert's own outstanding abilities, there is also a shadow of Rockefeller in it.

Even now.

In the Bush family's oil company, Rockefeller also held a part of the shares...

It can be said that shrubs have always been closely related to Rockefeller.

This is one of the reasons why Herbert and George were able to take over.

Precisely because shrubs have this relationship with Rockefeller.

This time Herbert came forward as a middleman to help Abel contact Rockefeller.

There is a relationship with Herbert's shrub family.

Only Rockefeller and Morgan agreed so readily.

Things are always different when there are acquaintances and middlemen.

Abel's thank you to Herbert refers to this reason.

After listening to Herbert's words in silence.

Abel suddenly whispered: "Herbert, I want to discuss something with you."

"Um?"

"I want to ask for your opinion."

"whats the matter?"

Abel whispered:

"My first son with little Laura, I want to be named Herbert Bush Smith. My first daughter with little Laura, I want to be named Barbara Pierce Smith."

This time it was Herbert's turn to be silent.

After a few seconds, the old man said with a smile on the satellite phone:

"Oh, I'd be so happy if you could do that. I'm sure Barbara would be happy too."

Both Herbert and Abel knew that the Barbara he was referring to was not George's daughter Barbara Bush.

But his wife, Barbara Pierce Bush.

"That's all. Goodbye, Herbert."

"Goodbye, Abel."

After hanging up the satellite phone, Abel turned sideways and saw the "sleeping" little Laura with her eyes open and looking at him tenderly.

"You don't object to my decision, do you?"

Abel smiled and reached over, gently caressing her beautiful face.

"Oh, I'd be so happy if you could do that."

Little Laura imitated her grandfather's tone and said with a chuckle:
