Some people are still confused until the bank calls to remind them to pay back the money. They don't know why they owe the bank so much money. After questioning, they find out that they have been short-term and owe the bank a huge sum of money. . .
Over the foggy city, thick black clouds blocked the sun hanging in the sky, and the entire city became gray. As long as you looked up at the sky, you could see the dense darkness, which gave people a depressing feeling.
This is also true internally for many people, as they all receive sudden debt collection calls from bank clerks.
"Hello Mr. xx, I am xx, the asset management risk controller of xx bank. Since your xx has a short position, the current account funds are negative. According to the agreement you signed, you need to make up the balance you owe within x trading days. of security deposit.”
All the "people of the empire on which the sun never sets" who received the call looked confused.
Why do I suddenly owe money?
For example, in Leeds, the third largest city in the Cow Country, the owner of the cafe next to James was yelling into the phone with an irritable look on his face.
"You damn bastards, how could I possibly owe money, or half a million pounds?! Did the risk control department of your bank grow up eating shit?
The agreement makes it clear that if the loss reaches 50%, you will be forced to liquidate the position. Shit, I will file a complaint against you and take your bank to court! "
Unfortunately, the voice of the salesperson opposite was still so polite and formulaic, "I'm very sorry, sir, I can understand your mood. You are already the thirteenth customer to complain to me.
But this cannot be blamed on us. This is a market situation that has never happened since the establishment of Wudu Exchange, but it is a fact. . . If you have really lost your position, the relevant transaction order will be sent to the address you filled in later. However, according to relevant legal provisions, you must repay the margin owed, otherwise we have the right to freeze all properties in your name! "
In fact, the risk control officer at the bank on the other side of the phone was also very helpless. Just a moment after Gabriel spoke, the entire London financial market, whether it was stocks, currencies or government bonds, all plunged rapidly, and it was the one with a rocket engine installed on its butt. A downward charge.
God knows, this is really not my fault, I'm just asking you to collect debt. . .
But this is unacceptable to the cafe owner.
I was sitting here calmly and suddenly I was informed that all the coffins were gone, and I also owed a lot of debt? !
"You despicable gangsters, I'm going to sue you. That Gabriel is right, you are a group of hypocritical villains!"
"Uh, sir..."
beep. . . beep. . . beep. . .
The risk controller listened helplessly to the busy tone on the phone and shrugged indifferently. Anyone in his profession would feel very uncomfortable if he didn't get scolded once a day. Anyway, no matter how fierce the customer scolded him, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat.
Now that you have chosen to work in finance, is it too much to think about wanting to gain face?
After putting down the phone, the risk controller looked at the numbers displayed on his computer screen. His smile finally changed from formulaic to heartfelt. As early as when he was watching Gabriel's speech, he had already put up sell orders for all the pounds stored in the bank. into U.S. dollars, and then put all the assets into a leveraged short position. Now the profit has increased by 30%, and it is still increasing rapidly.
As for what will happen to the empire in the end?
It's none of his business, he just knows that maybe tomorrow he will be able to achieve financial freedom. This feeling is simply wonderful!
"Hey man, want to go out for a drink later?"
The colleague next to the risk controller also showed an excited smile and invited him to go out in the evening.
"Of course, how can we not celebrate this kind of thing? I know there is a good bar nearby, and the girls there are also very hot. I believe you will like it!"
"Haha, if you lie, I'll kick your ass!"
"Oh, look at what you said. Now people all over the world are saying that our people in the Empire where the sun never sets are very hypocritical. Do you still believe me so much?"
"Haha, we are all honest when it comes to money, aren't we?"
. . .
"No! No! Why is this happening! My house, my car, my cafe, no!"
The owner of the coffee shop was sitting behind the counter, holding his head and yelling. All his sanity was destroyed by the debt notice just now, and he completely lost his energy.
Take the bank to court?
I'm going to fuck you!
Banks have always been identified as a vulnerable group in the court, and those naughty judges have always favored this "vulnerable group". How could he win this case?
But how do you pay back the damn half million pounds?
If he really cannot repay the money within the stipulated time, all his assets will be frozen, including his house and this cafe!
But what about his children and wife?
Why, why is this happening?
"So, why exactly is this happening?"
The bride glanced at the stunned group of people in the cafe, then took out a laptop and posted a question to the Qinglong Study Group Forum.
She also had some questions, not about why the coffee shop owner suddenly owed a large amount of money to the bank, but she wanted everyone to give her a detailed analysis of why this situation occurred in Niu Guo.
Professor: “The top three most populous cities in Niu Country:
The first place is Fog City, with 8.53 million people.
Second place Birmingham, 1.06 million people.
Leeds is third with 780,000 people.
That's why.
The city of Leeds where you are now is the third largest city in the Cow Country but has a population of only 780,000. It has a complete and developed railway and highway network, and it is also an important shipping city.
I compared the data in the Mainland. The population of cities in the Mainland with superior geographical location and convenient transportation is calculated as above 4 million.
This also shows from the side: residents of various towns in Niu Kingdom enjoy a lot of living resources. "
The teacher said: "Yes, the professor is right, let's take the city of Leeds as an example.
In this important hub city with convenient transportation, it is very easy to secure various supplies. Since supplies are sufficient, prices will be low. In addition, with a small population and no housing pressure, some social problems will be reduced. "
Courier who drives a plane: "So many people in the Niu country can live a very good life without much effort. Just like the cafe owner you mentioned just now, he comes to the shop every day to read the news, chat with customers, and drink afternoon tea. He closed early at seven or eight o'clock. If he had spare money, he would go to the financial market to invest. If he wanted to relax, he would take his family to travel around the world. As long as it was not a special situation like this, whether he made a profit or lost money would not affect his quality of life. , I had such a comfortable little life.”
Boss: “However, their comfortable life was fought for by their ancestors, even though their ancestors were a group of bandits.
But during the first industrial revolution, the average life expectancy of the petty bourgeoisie was more than 40 years old, while the average life expectancy of workers was only 22 years old. Even in industrial cities such as Liverpool, Preston, and Manchester, people who could live to be 19 years old Consider yourself lucky!
From the 1890s to the 1840s, the average life expectancy of people in the Niu country was about forty years. "
The bride was completely shocked after seeing these bloody data. At the same time, her doubts were answered. The cattle country had to pay the price of three or four generations of working class, whose average life expectancy was only 22 years old, in order to have a coffee shop. The boss is living such a leisurely life now.
Nowadays, the vast majority of people in the Niu Kingdom seem to only care about inheriting the glory of their ancestors, but have not noticed the price their ancestors paid for it.
Chen Yi will not take the initiative to evaluate this kind of thinking. He only knows that as good times pass by for too long, people will be paralyzed and will not think about how to solve some of the problems that exist in society. Once they encounter the current sudden super situation, In the event of a black swan event, you will be as confused as the coffee shop owner.
Boss: "Their current high-quality life is based on a group of upper-class people in the Niu Kingdom using various financial tools to plunder. Similarly, Hong Kong Island is also in the midst of this plunder, but this harms my interests, so - I Once they come, they will be finished!"
After seeing what Chen Yi said, the bride also started to think about it. The first three generations of the Niu Kingdom, led by that group of noble lords, used financial tools to make money, but they also missed the best opportunity to solve the problem and covered it up. Slowly it accumulated more and more, until now Chen Yi just threw a little spark into it and exploded with huge energy.
Even now, the most discussed issue among Mrs. May and a group of Conservative Party officials is how to maintain the last fig leaf of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", rather than thinking about what to do after the fig leaf is gone.
