International Observer
"Editor-in-Chief, the Galil Exchange Rate has risen again..."
A reporter knocked on the office door, which was not closed, and peeked out to say the following to the magazine Editor-in-Chief who was working on the other side.
As the Editor-in-Chief of Wade International Financial Observer, a magazine that is distributed in many countries around the world, sometimes his work and his knowledge and expertise are not the same thing.
The Editor-in-Chief put down his pen after a few seconds, rubbed his eyes, and sighed.
"I understand, you can go ahead and get busy..."
He casually dismissed the reporters outside the door, and it was clear that he was feeling a bit down.
This is actually quite normal. The mainstream view around the world is that the Galil will continue to grow, and indeed it has. So far, the Galil's Exchange Rate has been rising, and with the commencement of business negotiations between the Federal and Gefra, the Galil has once again shown strong momentum.
As a well-informed Editor-in-Chief, he was well aware that Galil was not now targeting the Federal Sol, but rather the Federal's interests within Galil.
Once the business negotiations between the Federal and Gefra proceed smoothly and multiple cooperation agreements are reached, the Nagaril's cheap labor resources can be fully utilized, and the appreciation of the Galil will naturally follow.
But he simply couldn't tell others that, since the mainstream media were saying it, the magazine he worked for couldn't say it.
Not only do they not follow the mainstream trends, but they also publish a series of counter-trend statements to attract people's attention. This is the foundation of the magazine's survival and also the way they attract investors.
While everyone else is pessimistic, you're the one who's pessimistic. There will always be people who buy this magazine, whether for reasons like "I want to know what nonsense you've spouted and then criticize your ignorance" or "I want to see how you'll convince me in such a ridiculous way." For the magazine itself, this is a successful marketing method.
But the Editor-in-Chief was somewhat unwilling, yet powerless to do anything about it.
They had just published their pessimistic outlook on the Galil's future, and the Galil's real-time Exchange Rate fluctuations were a slap in the face, giving the Editor-in-Chief a stomachache.
But there's no other way; this is how Magazine Publisher survive and what's fundamental to their existence. If they don't do this, they'll soon be submerged in the mainstream market.
With no brand influence, nothing of note, and no unique perspective, why would anyone choose a magazine that has no value?
Just as he was wondering if he needed to change jobs, the phone on his desk suddenly rang, startling him.
After muttering a few curses under his breath, he picked up the phone. "This is the International Observer Magazine Publisher, I'm the editor- Magazine Publisher -Editor-in-Chief..."
He omitted the name "Wade," shortening it to make the Magazine Publisher's name sound more upscale and sophisticated.
Soon, a strange expression appeared on the Editor-in-Chief's face, because the caller's purpose seemed a bit... unbelievable.
"I would like to know what evidence you have for your judgment that the Galil Exchange Rate will soon collapse, and I would also like to ask whether your Magazine Publisher accepts sponsorships or investments."
The Editor-in-Chief quickly replied, "Of course, of course, we accept sponsorships of any kind and investments, but there are requirements regarding the percentage of shares invested, with a lower and upper limit."
Investing one dollar is an investment, and investing one million dollars is also an investment. In the past, there have been cases all over the world where people have used the guise of "investment inspection" to swindle people out of food, drink, and even sexual favors. To prevent such things from happening in the Magazine Publisher, the Editor-in-Chief told them that there is a lower limit to the amount of investment.
The man on the other end of the phone chuckled. "That's not a problem. You can have someone make this call... to discuss the investment. But I want to know first why you made this judgment that Galil will collapse."
An opportunity, an unprecedented opportunity. Although the Editor-in-Chief was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit at this moment that the Magazine Publisher's president did have some tricks up his sleeve when it came to operations. Not long after their magazine was launched, it had already attracted investors. He no longer felt bad about going against his conscience and publishing some counter-trend ideas.
He gathered his thoughts briefly and then said, "This gentleman..."
"You can call me He Bosi."
"Mr. He Bosi? My God, I know you, Mr. He Bosi. Your betting agreement with Mr. Lin Qi has shocked the world of finance!" The Editor-in-Chief became even more excited. This was a celebrity.
If there's anything surprising or unbelievable that has happened in recent years besides the collapse of the Federal financial system, then the multi-billion dollar bet is one of them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that people say Galil is worthless. Even if it's worthless, it's still money, and it's a hundred billion, roughly worth eighty to ninety million Federal Sol and over forty million Vla. This is not a sum that just anyone can come up with.
The scale of this financial bet is enough to shake the world. It is said that many countries plan to include this "unprecedented" bet in their financial books after the results are announced, so that future financial scholars can study and analyze it carefully as an unmissable case.
Now that one of the parties involved has called, even if Mr. He Bosi doesn't invest in the Magazine Publisher, this call alone is enough to make the Magazine Publisher stand out in the international financial industry.
The Editor-in-Chief immediately reached out and pressed the record button. He needed to save the recording, but of course he wouldn't tell the other party.
"Editor-in-Chief -chief, please let us get back to our question, okay?"
"What are your reasons for predicting that the Galil's Exchange Rate will collapse? That's all I'm interested in right now!"
"Okay, okay, I'm so excited! I'll tell you my judgment now!" The Editor-in-Chief calmed down, reorganized his words, and began to state his views.
"Mr. He Bosi, if you pay attention to the current situation in Nagaril, you should find a very clear line, or rather, a pattern."
"Federal Sol is gradually replacing Galil in the circulation of Nagaril, and the recent large-scale demonstration has accelerated this process."
"Because of the rise in the Galil Exchange Rate, workers in Nagaril are dissatisfied with continuing to use the Galil as the currency for paying wages. Driven by some specific forces we do not know, workers in various places have begun to demand settlement in the Federal Sol and have exchanged the Galil they have held for Federal Sol."
"The role of Galil is waning; it is quietly withdrawing from the market, but neither the United Development Company nor the Nagaril United Kingdom has made any statement on this matter. They are ignoring what is happening."
"Once the circulation of Galil is restricted or even completely withdrawn, it will instantly become a blank slate, and I think this may be the way the Federal plunders Nagaril."
"They used an unprecedented method to plunder the country's property. Once the Galil is out of the market, the Nagaril must immediately launch a new legal tender to stabilize the entire business community. What currency could be more effective and stable than the Federal Sol?"
"No, no. The Federal Sol will replace Galil. Once that happens, the Federal will do everything in its power to prevent the Galil from circulating again, and eventually the Nagaril will become a financial colony of the Federal."
"If you know or have heard of Mr. Lin Qi's remarks about ' Financial War ' made in Bu Peien in the middle of the year before last, you can roughly understand the benefits of doing this!"
"These are all my speculations, and they may not be correct. There are also some issues in these speculations that I cannot explain, such as the inaction of the Nagaril government and how the Federal managed to remove Galil from the market..."
The Editor-in-Chief has very professional knowledge in the relevant field. He believes that this is possible, but some problems need to be solved. As long as these problems can be solved, then his guess will be valid.
The president admired his theories, and most importantly, these theories could attract people's attention, so regardless of whether these problems and speculations could be solved or whether they were valid, let's release the results first.
This attracted important figures, and from then on, simply being known as "Mr. He Bosi's most valued business consulting firm" would be enough to boost the Magazine Publisher's sales, or even allow it to transform into a financial consulting service provider.
The phone remained silent throughout, without even a sound of breathing. After a while, the Editor-in-Chief finally tried asking, "Mr. He Bosi, are you still listening?"
A few seconds later, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yes, yes, I'm still listening. What do you think is the probability that your viewpoint will come true?"
The Editor-in-Chief hesitated for a moment. "I'm not sure, Mr. He Bosi. Based on my expertise and reason, it's almost impossible to accomplish."
"No country would easily give up its own currency, which it has been using for many years, and switch to a currency issued by another country. This would be tantamount to completely giving up its management and control over its domestic market."
"But from an emotional point of view, I think what is happening right now is very much in line with my judgment and assessment of these situations; it is indeed happening."
"I can't give you an exact number, that would be irresponsible. I can only say there's a chance, and a pretty good chance!"
The breathing on the other end of the line grew heavier, and after a while, the voice came through again, "Thank you for your help, Editor-in-Chief -Chief. My assistant will contact you again later. Perhaps you'll be interested in some new work..."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. He Bosi rubbed his face vigorously. He finally understood where the problem lay.
But now he faces a dilemma: if he takes back the money early and sells it to transfer the loss, the penalty for breach of contract will be a huge problem for him.
If he bets that Lin Qi won't do that, and the Galil's Exchange Rate does indeed plummet, his losses will be even greater.
After thinking it over, he forced himself to calm down and then began to assign tasks.
Information is the most critical factor in the Financial Market. The more information you have than others, the greater your chances of winning.
Mr. He Bosi mobilized all his resources to gather information in order to ensure that he could minimize the losses.
Sitting in the room, the lights off, the bowl of the pipe emitting a faint glow, a cloud of murky smoke suddenly billowed out from somewhere, accompanied by a name, filled with hatred—
"Lin Qi!"
