Chapter 297 Becoming the King of Europe(2/3)

In this financial war, international hot money was originally superior to the third offensive and defensive war.

Because Smith Capital, the super long position in USD/NOK, withdrew, it slowly began to go short.

In turn, the Norwegian krone began to move higher.

Originally, when this happened, it was probably because the international hot money side was unhappy and the Kingdom of Norway was happy.

But when the two parties knew that the person who did this was Abel.

The international hot money side was immediately unhappy if it didn't work.

The Kingdom of Norway is not happy about the appreciation of the Norwegian krone.

To use a metaphor.

This is equivalent to the time in the early to mid-term of World War II, when the Allies and the Axis Powers were fighting particularly fiercely, and then the Axis began to falter.

The United States suddenly jumped out, holding a bunch of aircraft carriers, planes, and troops, standing between the two sides, but its attitude was unclear.

What is the feeling of the other two parties who have already started to fight at this time? How is the feeling of international hot money and the Kingdom of Norway now?

It was obvious which side Abel was on at this time.

On the other hand, a big rout may occur.

At this time, Smith Capital held US$80 billion in funds.

Both parties also know that Smith Capital will have at least US$50 billion of its own funds in the future.

The total amount is 130 billion US dollars, even if you dare to use leverage, the amount of funds can still exceed this figure.

Both international hot money and the Kingdom of Norway have fallen into great passivity.

Two days later, when Smith Capital successfully closed its first 100,000 USD/NOK position.

And started to buy Norwegian kroner spot in large quantities.

Soros finally couldn't bear it anymore. He went to No. 15 Faure House in the City of London, trying to find Abel himself.

This representative of international hot money wants to talk to Abel!

Soros missed the mark, and he didn't find out until he arrived at Smith Capital (UK).

This guy Abel Smith actually ran away!

Fortunately, Abel hasn’t run back to the United States yet. Jed Smile, CEO of Smith Capital (UK), told Wall Street Sword:

"Mr. Soros, my boss has already gone to France in the morning. Because Miss Bush said she wanted to go skiing in the summer in France."

Soros wanted to scold Jed for talking nonsense.

The ski season in France runs from December to the first half of May.

Where can I ski in France at other times? Unless I go to the snow-capped mountains in the Alps, it must be on the top of a mountain!

Soros knew that someone was hiding from him.

"I understand. Thank you, Jed. I will go to France." Soros thanked him and left without expression.

After leaving Smith Capital's headquarters in the UK.

Soros immediately asked someone to check it out.

I discovered that Abel’s private plane really flew from London to Paris this morning.

That means I don’t know if Abel went to France for skiing in the summer.

At least the fact that Abel went to France should be true.

Without much hesitation, Soros also set off for France that day.

When Soros first arrived at the headquarters of Smith Capital (UK).

Abel also happened to have just arrived in Paris.

The Boeing 747 slowly landed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

With the sound of aircraft engines shutting down.

The passengers on the private plane got off the plane in an orderly manner.

How can there be snow in Paris in August?

Although the latitude is similar to that of the imperial capital of China.

But due to the influence of the warm Atlantic current, the weather and temperature in Paris are basically the same as those in the magical capital of China.

Depart from Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

Abel and others drove to the west side of Little Paris, which is the La Défense Economic and Business District.

This area is the commercial center of Paris, where the headquarters of most banks and insurance companies in Paris (including the Bank of France and the Stock Exchange) are located.

This is almost equivalent to Manhattan in New York and the City of London.

Abel had never been to France before.

But it was the same as when he first went to London.

Rock security personnel and David had already arrived here, and many things had been arranged for his arrival.

In addition, over in London, there was still widespread coverage of his acquisition of Manchester United.

Some members of the Smith Intelligence Group have already been here for activities.

So although it was his first time arriving in Paris.

But his subordinates planned all the itineraries and sent him to a room at the Pullman Paris Defense Resort, one of the best hotels in La Défense.

At three o'clock in the afternoon.

Abel is already located at the Pullman Paris Défense Resort. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the executive suite on the top floor overlook La Défense, the most prosperous CBD in France.

La Défense is the central business district of Paris, whose construction began in the 1950s.

At that time, apart from Manhattan and London, there was no difference between CBD centers in the world.

It can be said that this place itself is one of the originators of urban CBD.

It also provided reference for some subsequent urban business district planning.

Almost all the high-rise buildings in Paris are concentrated here.

Although it does not have the super high-rise buildings that are common in New York, it still looks spectacular against the overall low buildings in Paris.

This is the headquarters of many large French companies and multinational companies, and the supporting facilities are very mature and complete.

In fact, in Abel's view.

At this time, Paris, compared with London, which was outside the European continent, was actually one of the real centers of Europe.

The reason why it is one is because it has another center.

That center is in Germany next door, Berlin, Germany.

Germany and France are the current dual core of Europe and the engine of the EU.

In the EU, the UK's main role is actually to stir things up

When Abel stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at Paris.

Anne Hathaway and little Laura came over with their luggage in the room.

"Is this Paris?"

When Anne Hathaway came to Paris for the first time, she saw a cluster of low buildings.

“It looks really old”

I am used to the bustling cyberspace of Manhattan and the openness of Los Angeles.

Anne's first impression of Paris, which looked a bit shabby, was a bit disappointing.

"This is what Paris is like." Little Laura also came to the floor-to-ceiling window and said to Anne with a smile:

"Are you a little disappointed? It's normal to be disappointed. When I was twelve years old, my father took me here and I was disappointed in Paris."

"Actually, it looks good like this. If you go for a walk on some streets, you will even think that you are not in Paris, but in a certain city in Africa, or Chicago in the United States.

City!"

Anne didn't understand what it meant.

Abel said: "There are too many black people. Paris now has a population of 9 million, but there are almost 1.8 million black people. I hate this city. It looks too dirty, old and black."

Hearing what Abel said, Anne Hathaway was even more disappointed.

Because France was too strong in the past, and the city's character was well created.

Even many Americans think Paris is a romantic city.

So it is no wonder that this young Chinese man yearned for the romance of Paris.

Only if you really come to Paris.
