Holy Roman Empire

Berlin, this cosmopolitan city suddenly became deserted. It was almost 11 o'clock. Rows of shops were still closed.

A familiar and unfamiliar noun entered Hans' mind-"strike".

It seemed to me that Hans immediately ran to the telegraph company.

Looking at the oncoming protest march, Hans stopped involuntarily, turned to leave after seeing several familiar figures.

There was no way for the employees of the telegraph company to take to the streets to protest. At this time, it was impossible to send the news back.

Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Flores is staring at the constantly updated analysis of transaction data.

This is also one of the benefits that comes with renting a house. You do n’t need to go to the lobby to see the data, just send someone to the backstage to check the list.

In recent times, the stock market has generally stabilized, with the exception of those stocks that have been entangled.

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

It is needless to say that the three companies as peers can be packed in one office.

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

Flores asked with concern: "Fairen, look at your good mood, what good news has it brought?"

Information sharing is also a part of cooperation.For securities firms, it is necessary to keep abreast of market changes, and gathering intelligence is essential.

Large securities companies have dedicated teams in charge. Small securities companies such as Flores have limited financial resources. If they cannot afford such a team, they can only gather intelligence jointly.

First-hand information is also a key factor for securities firms to outperform retail investors.I don't know anything. The iron Han Han who just stuck in the end will basically be left without a pit.

Faer laughed: "The news came from Berlin that the Prussian government decided to compromise, and our stocks were locked up, and we could immediately unwind."

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

"How is this possible, because the finances of the Prussian government are simply unable to bear so much debt, what do they take ..."

Later, Flores swallowed back involuntarily.He didn't think that Falun was lying on this issue, it was a telegram problem to verify.

Feren said to himself: "Relax, the Prussian government has no money, it does not mean that it will not get money.

It is said that more than a dozen large banks such as Deutsche Bank, Bank of Austria, Bank of England, etc. are forming a bank consortium and are negotiating with the Prussian government.

A preliminary agreement has been reached. The parties jointly formed a new bank to issue 200 million Aegis bonds for the Berlin government. In return, they will represent Prussia ’s banknote business."

Speaking here, Feren showed envious eyes.Issuing currency is definitely a dream business for financial professionals.

Everyone knows that the closer to the money, the easier it is to make money.As long as the bank can get the right to issue notes, there is no need to worry about capital problems.

Flores also knew about the banking group.It's just not because of negotiating with Prussia. The main reason he noticed was "shorting Mark".

It ’s normal in the financial world to start working together and then start cooperation again.

After thinking about Kung Fu for a moment, Flores: "What are you going to do, shouldn't you want to bargain?"

Not waiting for Feren ’s answer, a staff member hurried in: “Mr. Flores, the good news is that our stocks, which are locked in, are starting to rise.”

Feren's face changed greatly: "Oops, the news leaked. We have to hurry up, and the soup won't be able to drink anymore."

...

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

But what they didn't know was that the top four securities firms on the roof of the building, at the top of the food chain, were starting to evacuate.

An old man sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar asked: "How long can the news be blocked?"

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi replied: "Mr. Will, who can last up to two days, may be taken off today.

Although we used the telegraph company to publish fake news, the sudden interruption of the telegrams in both places will still attract the attention of interested parties."

This is inevitable. Both Berlin and Frankfurt are metropolises. Business transactions on both sides are very frequent. There are hundreds of telegram transactions every day. It is strange to suddenly stop being unobtrusive.

Overhaul the line, fooling ordinary people is OK.Since the telegraph was sent between the two places, there has been a signal interruption of more than 8 hours.

However, it is more problematic not to interrupt the telegraph connection, that is to be exposed in minutes.

Will nodded: "It's already pretty good, and it's amazing to be able to fight for so much time.

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

No way, the Berlin government suddenly overturned the table and beat them by surprise.

Unlike the stocks below, they are shorting the mark this time. If they don't run quickly, the loss will be huge.

...

Compared with the gloomy mood of Will and others, the atmosphere of the neighboring Bedford Securities company will be more harmonious.

Everyone is short-selling Mark, but people are different. Bedouf Securities is not so greedy, and it retired after making a fortune.

Thales regrets: "Well's old fox is finally loaded, but if he stops now, he should not be hurt."

Peers are the naked hatreds. Do n’t look at the four major securities firms in Frankfurt that often act together. It gives the outside world the impression that this is an alliance. In fact, it is these allies that want the other party to die.

May Rose laughed: "That's not necessarily, the loss will be lost when you are around, the situation is different now.

All signs indicate that an economic crisis is coming.At this time there is not enough cash in hand, who knows what will happen later?"

The CEO of Bedouf, Skervezka, interrupted the two right-hand assistants: "Well, two of them, Will will not be out of luck. That's the future. Now that it's not time for the downfall, the impact is bad.

"Mr. Skvizhka, Vienna call!"

"coming!"

Having said that, Skervezka hurried past.

...

After half a kung fu, Skvizhka came out expressionless.

"Two of you, your work is here. From now on, we will sell all our stocks and bonds as much as possible.

Cash, now we need a lot of cash."

May Rose doubted: "President, the domestic economic situation is still good, even if it is affected by this incident, it will not collapse.

Recently, we have successively cashed out 80 million Aegis, enough to cope with any crisis.

What happened that we didn't know, or the headquarters was short of money?"

As a Jianglong, Bedford Securities can become one of the four major brokerages in Frankfurt. It has never been affected by outside rules. How powerful the back office is can be seen.

Economically, there are close cooperative relations with a number of Austrian banks, and they have never lacked money. This is done by the headquarters. Mayrose does not think that the headquarters will be short of money.

After hesitating for a while, Skervezka nodded: "Well, let me tell you, you will know later anyway.

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

Not only are we going to participate, half of the top 20 securities companies in the world will participate.

This is a joint operation of British and Austrian capital, as you may have heard, the international bank conglomerate that was in full swing not long ago.

I do n’t know more details. In short, you just need to be mentally prepared."

"Short Franc", the two were brave and stunned by the news.

The franc is different from the mark, the economic plate of France can be much larger.Prior to this, there were few international shorts, but they all ended in failure.

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

Thales waved his hand and said: "It seems a little difficult to short the Franc. Can I be silent when I hear nothing?"

Skervezka smiled slightly: "It is a pity that it is too late to say that now.

I do n’t want it for long, someone will come to protect our security, you can talk to them.

However, I personally suggest that you should be strict in your mouth. If something goes wrong, it will be dead."

The two nodded helplessly, curiosity killed the cat.If they do not know anything, they still have the opportunity to refuse to participate.

Now that I know "short Franc", if I want to quit, I can only lie down.

The buzzing international banking group, as long as people with a little common sense know, this group can be regarded as a consortium of the British and Austrian financial circles, with a total of 13 large banks participating.

Seeing that the two were in a low mood, Skovirica reassured: "Don't be so pessimistic, short Francs, and don't want your life, is it?

Adjusting his emotions, Thales quickly recovered and said with an exaggerated expression: "No, my President.

Such a big deal, I still don't know how many big figures are involved. In case of a mess, who can guarantee that we will not anger us?"
