Chapter 199: Making Smith Capital a Real Giant(2/3)
Amanda didn't believe it, but it was indeed not the right time to go back to the past.
When it was almost 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock, Amanda was determined to drag Lydia over again.
Lydia refused to be beaten to death this time, so she was dragged halfway by Amanda and ran away.
Seeing Lydia running away, Amanda felt angry and decided to go find Abel by herself.
Amanda felt that it must be Abel's bodyguard who was deceiving her.
Amanda has read physiology books.
How can a man take so long?
On the other side, Lydia originally wanted to go back to the room.
She was also afraid that her cousin would go back and pull her out.
I simply decided not to go back to the room yet and would go back later.
She planned to go to one of the several living rooms in the villa, one of which faced the sea and was filled with spring flowers.
Stay there for a while and go back to the room later.
When she came to the living room, she was surprised to see Abel, who was naked from the waist up and had wet hair, obviously just taking a shower, watching TV.
"Ah~Mr. Smith?" Lydia shouted softly.
"It's Lydia. Good evening." She saw Abel smiling at herself.
This smile made Lydia think of Mr. Smith.
Based on your looks and figure alone, you can get a good meal even if you go to Hollywood or the modeling industry.
"Your that"
Lydia wanted to ask if you were still sleeping with Charlize Theron in the master bedroom, so Amanda went to look for her.
Abel didn't know what she was going to say.
He did explain a little bit about why he appeared here at this time.
"Something happened in Southeast Asia, which may be an opportunity for my company. This living room has the largest TV in the whole villa. I came here to watch the news."
Lydia also saw that he was holding a remote control in his hand.
In the living room, the latest 52-inch LCD TV was showing news from Southeast Asia.
"Oh, oh." Lydia responded.
She looked at Abel's naked upper body, her face felt a little hot, neither advancing nor retreating.
When she was about to speak, she saw that Abel had ignored her and was concentrating on watching TV.
Lydia hesitated for a moment, and finally strolled in slowly.
Her curious eyes also looked at the content on the LCD TV.
She discovered that the content above was an international news channel from NBC.
What is being played above is a news event that happened during the day in a country in Southeast Asia called the Philippines.
In a news event, the Supreme Court of the Philippines announced that a general named Estrada would be deprived of his rights.
Also on the same day, another guy named A Luoyue in this country was sworn in as the new commander-in-chief.
Lydia knew about the existence of the Philippines, and she knew that it was a country that was relatively pro-American.
It seems that it was once a colony of the United States.
But Lydia has never been there. To her, that place is similar to Africa.
European and American girls of her age basically have this impression of other places except Europe and North America.
In other words, Lydia received a slightly better education.
At least I know the existence of the Philippines.
If it were any other ordinary European and American girl who had never traveled to the Philippines.
I guess they have never heard of this place.
Lack of common sense is a common problem among most Europeans and Americans after the fall of the bear.
This is the kind of effect Naitoule Education wants.
Lydia also doesn’t know that Abel, a Wall Street tycoon and Hollywood tycoon.
Why would you care about the news of such a small and remote country?
Is there any benefit in a place like this that he values?
Lydia was very curious.
She noticed that after watching the news, Abel...
He picked up a cell phone that looked like a satellite phone and started making calls.
She was wondering whether she should leave.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to stay here by yourself while others are on the phone.
But by some strange coincidence, Lydia didn't leave.
She said to herself:
[Mr. Smith knew I was here. He didn’t let me go or he walked away on his own, which means it didn’t matter to me after hearing the call.]
"David, it's me."
".600 billion, have Lehman Brothers entered the market?"
".Well, where's your judgment?"
"Well, it's a correct judgment. You guys can do it yourself this time."
"This is a test. As long as the results of your test satisfy me."
"Then after this, you will be eligible for transactions of less than US$100 million in a single transaction and less than US$500 million in a single day."
"That's all I ask. But I won't say any more. If I say it, I might as well go back to New York to trade by myself."
"There's nothing wrong. Just figure it out for yourself. That's it."
"."
Abel hung up the satellite phone.
He looked at the LCD TV and lost in thought about other international news.
The phone call just now was made by him on his own initiative to David Mellon.
What he was talking about with David Mellon was after he went to Hawaii for vacation these days.
Smith Capital initiated an international hedging investment under the operation of David Mellon and other employees.
The investment target is the Philippine Peso, and the goal is to make a profit by shorting the Philippine Peso.
Simply put.
It means replaying the same tactics that Soros played against several countries in Southeast Asia.
But in terms of scale, it is much smaller and has many more restrictions.
Those small countries are no longer so stupid after suffering losses for more than ninety years.
But encounter the right black swan event.
For example, what happened in the Philippines today.
International hot money can still be manipulated a little bit.
That is, the profits will not be particularly exaggerated, and the operation is relatively complicated.
However, precisely because the scale is relatively small and the operation is cumbersome, the risks are controllable.
Abel asked Smith Capital to try it without his own involvement.
Look at how much money Smith Capital can make just by themselves.
In other words, this is more than half a year since Smith Capital was established.
For the first time, Abel opened up the company's trading and investment rights to other Smith Capital traders besides himself.
Before that, the entire Smith Capital.
Only he, the boss, has trading authority.
The daily task of other analysts and traders is to collect intelligence and analyze the market.
When Abel wants to play big, they will be busy for a few days.
This model is undoubtedly very abnormal.
No one on Wall Street does this.
