People can get nothing without sacrifice, and in order to get something, they need to pay the same price. This is the principle of alchemy in the eyes of people in the non-magic world. In a world without magic, this is the reality of the world.
Wealth is not born out of thin air. The biggest role of financial markets is to redistribute wealth rather than create value.
Compared with the economic situation of the former Soviet Union, the United States, China, Japan, Germany, Britain, and France, which can only rely on incomplete historical data to infer, the market development is really familiar to Elena, and as this
At the same time, it will also be the world's largest economy in the next few decades under the original historical trajectory. The macroeconomics of the United States has no secrets in Elena's eyes.
Unless a second time traveler appears, in this era, no one understands America better than Elena.
Whether it is the embarrassing nodes of the economic bubble, the direction of capital flows, the sub-financial crisis that has not yet broken out, or even the wave of unemployment tens of thousands of miles away, or the lack of social production capacity after the end of the Cold War, these are all under her control.
Down.
With the establishment of the [Gringotts Hogwarts Russian Federation Central Reserve System], all free capital that planned to eat bear meat fell into this terrible quagmire almost overnight, "Potato Credit Redemption New Currency"
(referred to as Doucoin)" allows all capital to return to its most primitive state of barter, and currency is directly linked to daily necessities.
Faced with a completely closed-loop market economy and the most primitive trading system, the Federal Reserve and other established capitalist countries have no room to use all military sanctions, financial sanctions, technological blockades, and trade sanctions.
You know, the domestic economic situation in the United States and the United Kingdom is not as optimistic as they appear at this time.
In this summer when the red afterglow of the former Soviet Union has not yet dissipated, no force dares to initiate a hot war on this land. Rather than face the terrifying torrent of red steel again, they would rather be temporarily frozen in the "bean coin" trap
inside.
Then, there is only one way to hedge the economy and release domestic pressure.
"Gallywix, do you know... what is the most effective way to form an alliance in the world?"
Elena leaned on the back of the Hyperion captain's exclusive chair, gently shaking the pomegranate juice in her hand, watching the red liquid slowly flowing on the wall of the cup, pretending that she was sipping the highest-end red wine, casually
asked.
Beside her, Gallywix, who had just been promoted to the head of external liaison at Gringotts, shook his head and answered with some hesitation.
"An advantage that is irresistible? Or... you mean a common enemy?"
"Yes, but also not right"
Elena smiled slightly, her lake-blue eyes flashing with a dangerous look.
"If you just have a common enemy, this is far from the most appropriate time. Under unfair confrontation, you are forced into a desperate situation little by little, and you desperately look for allies in order to survive. This is the most stable and efficient way.
.”
"Even if we have to deal with MACUSA and the American fairies, the magic side should never be the first to attack."
"Proxy war, this is the intervention model that the magic world should have. Although the British magic world is powerful, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets..."
Elena gracefully drank the crimson in the glass, put down the glass, stood up and walked to the window of the Hyperion.
Outside the window, Hogwarts Castle in the Scottish Highlands has just woken up.
The bright and soft morning light passed through the clouds and fell on the Hogwarts Lake, creating layers of bright water.
Elena opened her arms and let the warm sunshine shine on her body. Thousands of miles behind her, breakfast smoke was just rising from the chimneys of countless families. The Bundesbank announced that it was considering reconfiguring the European exchange rate mechanism.
Farther away, in the White House in Washington, D.C., a top-secret document marked as the highest priority, the "Maastricht Treaty Vulnerability Analysis and Sniper Draft," appeared on Reagan's desk.
In the next few hours, along with the news of the establishment of the [gh Russian Federation Central Reserve System], it will become the focus of everyone's debate, and it will be launched in less than a week.
It's just that no one knows...
As early as half a year ago, before the formal terms of the Treaty of European Economic and Monetary Union were finalized, Gringotts Wizarding Bank had already conducted a very comprehensive sandbox simulation for the same situation.
Elena took a deep breath, as if she smelled an extremely attractive aroma, and an intoxicated look appeared on her face.
"The ruble crisis, the pound crisis... this summer may become the most exciting moment in the history of human finance... In the capital world suffering from heavy blood loss, this time it is not a sniper war that can be ended by admitting defeat. It is really... so disappointing
So excited."
Is this what it feels like to turn the world upside down?
Gee...it's really an addictive thing...
"Gallywix, pass my order..."
Elena gently raised her hand and moved her fingers casually in the air.
"From now on until the end of September, all financial services of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the non-magical world will be reduced to one-tenth of the original frequency, and all efforts will be made to collect evidence of interference in the market by the American wizarding world and American goblins!
"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, your will is the will of the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank."
Gallywix put his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully.
After more than half a year of getting along, and witnessing the terrifying power contained in the capital of the new era, there was no longer any voice questioning the young Fairy Queen in the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
"Very good, then I'll leave the rest to you. As for me..."
Elena nodded with satisfaction and flipped her hair carelessly.
The silver hair shining with light golden light moved through the air, and the originally still air suddenly had a ripple.
The next moment, countless densely packed magic runes appeared in front of Elena's eyes.
Red, green, black, and blue lines quickly intertwined and outlined in mid-air, forming a miniature version of the Hyperion's hull structure, with names the size of rice grains wandering around in the grid.
For Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore, it is not too difficult to cast a range of name magic.
As a space carrier that took half a year to build, it almost represents the highest level in the magic world today.
Elena carefully looked at the "monitor" in front of her, compared the notes next to each room, faced the window that had turned into a mirror, carefully straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, and said softly.
"Open the floo network of Reactor No. 3, Reactor No. 9, Reactor No. 11, and Reactor No. 19..."
"Open the fast passage from the No. 7 reactor to the bridge, raise the bridge's main reactor, put away the main guns, lower the Hyperion's alert status to level three, remove the invisibility magic on the hull, and raise the solar energy
The board starts to accumulate energy..."
As a senior at Hogwarts and an assistant in the Potions class, it's time for her to meet this year's new students...
