The reason why it has been delayed for five days and has not started to take action is because the Swiss National Bank did not dare to provide William with a leveraged fund guarantee this time. The fund of 4.86 billion U.S. dollars is too large. Even if only 4 billion U.S. dollars are used, it is very safe.
The leverage is 3 times, and the funds for short selling have reached 12 billion.
Although William did not tell the National Bank the specific target of short selling, at this time, any idiot could guess that William's target was the Valentine Group.
When the vast majority of people were optimistic about the Valentine Group, the Swiss National Bank had no guts to provide financial guarantees for William. Even National Bank President Jon Grace, who had always been optimistic about William, was surprisingly silent this time.
So after receiving the confirmed news on Sunday, William directly transferred all 4.86 billion US dollars to the Swiss Basti Bank controlled by the Priory of Sion.
Transferring the money without waiting for notice from the National Bank was a complete offense to the National Bank, so there was news in the market the next day that William planned to make a desperate move against the Valentine Group.
However, this kind of news did not hurt William, but made him very happy. He was thinking about how to enter the market reasonably to avoid the securities from investigating him afterwards. Now not only the reason was directly sent to him,
It was also more conducive to the rapid transaction of futures contracts. As a result of this incident, the reputation of the National Bank inevitably plummeted. Soon there was news that someone on the board of directors had resigned. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this manager had been resigned.
After 4.86 billion U.S. dollars of funds were transferred to Basti Bank, it took two days to prepare the contract and leverage funds. On Monday of the new week, 8:59 a.m. GMT and 9:59 a.m. Swiss time.
William, who flew to Switzerland in person, stood in the VIP room of Basti Bank and said to Andre Vernet, the general manager of Basti Bank, "2 billion US dollars, ten times leverage, contract delivery time of three days, let's get started.
,Andre".
"Three days is really a wise choice, Elder Devonshire," Andre said with a smile.
"Haha, I still understand why you can't make enough money and you can't offend the capitalists to death." After saying this, William narrowed his eyes and looked at Andre.
"Sorry, sir, I was too talkative."
That's right, William is now the official elder of the Priory, a title he has only received for three days.
After William helped the Priory of Sion take control of the Basti Bank in Switzerland, he was selected as the fifth secret elder by the four newly elected elders of the Priory.
To put it bluntly, the Hidden Elder is the person who controls the force. This position has been held by the Devonshire family for hundreds of years. It was not until Henry Devonshire died unexpectedly that this position was vacant for ten years.
The reason why William accepted this position was because when Andre went to London to find him three days ago, he handed him a list of members of the monastery. William's heart jumped when he saw the list.
As soon as the phone scanned, Sunday reported the information of everyone on the list in the headset. After listening to it, William suddenly realized that his eyes were still too low. The Hermitage, which he had previously looked down upon, was the real treasure house.
There are hundreds of professors from the top 50 universities in the world, hundreds of artists, philosophers, economists, bankers and other top talents of all kinds.
According to Andre, as a hidden elder, the Priory will provide William with any talents he needs in return for serving as the most important elder of force.
Of course, this employment relationship is secret. Whether it is disclosed to the employed members depends on William's own will. At the same time, William also needs to provide necessary remuneration for these talents.
The only pity is that there are not many people on the list whose main achievements are in science. This is probably because scientific people are naturally in conflict with theology.
After apologizing, Andre Vernet nodded respectfully to William, and then loudly shouted to the three middle-aged people in the trading room, "Enter."
"I understand." Three calm and excited voices answered.
With Sunday help, the three members of the Priory of Sion who were guest traders only needed to give specific tasks, and the rest of Sunday could be completed as quickly as possible.
At exactly 9 o'clock London time, as soon as the stock market opened, a large amount of funds shorting the Valentine Group suddenly appeared in the stock market. This made the investors and capital investors who had been waiting for several days for William to take action began to cheer.
In the eyes of many people, William was sending money to them.
As the morning passed, the capital and stock investors around the world who were paying attention to this matter became more and more frightened as they looked at the contracts that were constantly being traded. In less than two hours in the morning, the amount of transactions had already reached more than 18 billion U.S. dollars.
As long as someone just bets with William, the contract will be established in less than ten seconds, and everyone will be scared to watch with a sweeping attitude.
Those who took over William's short contract initially looked like they were gloating about their misfortune and were confident of winning. However, when the full $20 billion contract was officially concluded, the stock price suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
After a little thought, everyone can understand that this is someone following William and starting to enter the market to short.
After an investigation, many communication companies and network service companies were quickly found, and some idle funds began to enter the market.
Although the amount of short selling for each of these following people or companies is not large, the number is overwhelming. All the toll communication companies and network service companies around the world can't wait for the Valentine Group to go bankrupt immediately.
Now that William is taking the lead, and he is confident of winning, these communication companies and network service companies, who have been forced into a corner and are either alive or dead, have spent tens of millions, one or two hundred million U.S. dollars, and still have the determination and money to bet on William's victory.
of.
The short sellers made a desperate move, which made the bulls start to feel surprised, suspicious, and restless. Capital investors began to wonder whether William held a secret card that could deliver a fatal blow.
No one is a fool, and no one would think that William, who invested a total of 20 billion US dollars in short selling, would be a fool. What's more, William still has 2.86 billion US dollars that can be used as a margin. If William wants to lose all his money, the share price of Valentine Group will be at least
rose more than 15%.
The bottom line of 15% is actually not high, so William, who has been prepared for a long time, will give his opponent a chance to counterattack, and will not leave time and opportunity for that madman Valentine to take revenge on himself.
When the market was closed at noon, William called Catherine and just said "Let's go" before hanging up the phone. Then the director of the US Secret Service, Lynn Jacobs, received an encrypted video. The source of the video was Catherine, the British Security Minister.
Lin-Jacobs clicked on the video, and what caught her eye was a very advanced-looking laboratory. A dozen people in white coats wearing closed helmets appeared in the video.
A person who looked like a leader stepped forward and said, "Sorry, for security reasons, we have to conceal our identity. What we want to reveal to you today is the conspiracy of the Valentine Group."
