In late April 1997, in a high-rise office with floor-to-ceiling windows in a Wall Street building in New York City, George Soros stared at the group of people before him with a grim expression and coldly asked:
"What are you talking about? Didn't the Thai baht start depreciating last week? Why do they still have enough foreign exchange to resist our attack?"

In the Quantum Fund, Soros is undoubtedly the king.

He was also the main planner and participant in this attack on various Asian countries.

It can be said that Wall Street had been planning for this victory for nearly a year and had prepared a large amount of ammunition for it.

But at the very moment when they were about to score, they were told that their opponent still had the strength to fight back.
How is this possible?
Soros knew all too well about Thailand's economic situation and foreign exchange reserves.

They only have $100 billion in foreign exchange reserves, more than half of which are debt, and a considerable portion of that is short-term debt.

In other words, Soros and his team had already begun planning this operation at the end of last year, gradually withdrawing these short-term debts.

After the loan matured, no further US dollars were lent to Thailand.

As a result, they would naturally not have enough foreign exchange to support the invasion of international speculators such as the Quantum Fund.

What awaits Thailand is the devaluation of the Thai baht, or default on its debt.

Whether it's currency devaluation or default, Quantum Fund can still make a considerable profit.

Prior to this, they had already signed relevant agreements with Thai banks and other financial institutions, and borrowed a sufficient amount of Thai baht.

Once the Thai baht depreciates, Quantum Fund and its affiliates can make huge profits upon maturity.

This is their blatant, overt scheme.

However, people in Thailand in the past couldn't see that far, so they were unaware of these traps at the time.

"Boss, we don't know either."

The group said, feeling very aggrieved, which immediately enraged Soros:

"Fuck, if you don't know, go find out why! Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me to shoot you?"

Hearing this, the men cursed inwardly, but dared not.

Because Soros is a real possibility of killing people.

After all, this involves hundreds of billions of US dollars. If things go wrong, the Quantum Fund could lose billions, or even tens of billions of US dollars.

This is no joke.

The office quickly fell silent. Soros lit a Cuban cigar and looked at the Thai baht, which was already at a high level, and the unrealized losses of their Quantum Fund on the computer monitor. He became even angrier.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the vibrant Manhattan skyline was ablaze with beautiful neon lights, but none of this mattered to Soros. He didn't care about such sights, as he was already tired of them.

In comparison, the numbers on the monitor were more likely to capture his attention.

There was nothing they could do. Their Quantum Fund account had already achieved a floating profit, but in just a few days, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

How could Soros accept that unrealized profits have turned into unrealized losses?

If they continue like this, their Quantum Fund is very likely to go bankrupt.

Moreover, they bought futures contracts, which would require them to spend a significant amount of US dollars to purchase Thai baht to repay their debts—an outcome Soros was definitely not willing to accept.

pity!!!

"God, I still have a chance, but I must find out the reason why, otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."

Ding Ding Ding!
Just then, the phone rang in the office, and Soros answered it without even looking at it.

The call came from Stanislav Dutland, the president of Goldman Sachs, who immediately launched into a tirade of profanities.

All of them were greetings that started with the letter F.

Because the other party is in the same situation, their account is also showing a floating loss.

Before the other person could finish hurling insults, Soros interrupted with a grim expression, simultaneously retorting with his own insults:

"Farke, Farke, Farke."

"Stanislav, I want to greet your mother, your grandmother, your girlfriend, and I want to f*** your daughter."

"God, are you a three-year-old? What the hell do I care if you don't make a profit?"

"Damn it, if you call me again, humph, I'll send a few burly men to find you right now!"

This is true.

Stanislav isn't new to Wall Street, so why should Soros be held responsible for the unrealized losses in Goldman Sachs' accounts?
What a son of a bitch!
Even if Goldman Sachs makes a profit, they won't give Soros a single penny. Why would they bother with him now?

Snapped!
The phone hangs up.

Stanislav Dutland on the other side was stunned, because he couldn't believe that Soros would dare to greet him like that.

This person is incredibly audacious. Has he forgotten that he, Stanislav, is the president of Goldman Sachs?
On almost the same day, several institutions on Wall Street suffered paper losses, as a significant portion of international speculators are from Wall Street.

The Thai baht was arguably their first target, but it was also the target of their fiercest counterattack.

So they all suffered a major setback this time.

It's worth noting that they had previously conspired with Soros, whose long-term vision is considered one of the bellwethers of Wall Street and is highly favored by many speculators.

Bangkok, Thailand: The office of the Quantum Foundation.

Cameron Westbrook, the person in charge, received orders from Wall Street headquarters and immediately launched an investigation.

But they soon received a call and immediately turned on the television.

At that moment, someone was speaking on the television screen; it was a person in charge of the Thai financial system.

This person said that Thailand currently has very ample foreign exchange reserves and is completely unafraid of international financial institutions. Those international speculators who want to devalue the Thai baht or cause Thailand to default, your conspiracies will not be realized, and you can just wait to die.

In other words, Thailand currently has ample ammunition, and Wall Street would be better off withdrawing immediately if they don't want to suffer losses.

Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable.

Cameron Westbrook's expression changed drastically, and he immediately reported the matter to Wall Street headquarters.

This is a disaster!

"Are you all idiots? Just because they say they have ample foreign exchange reserves doesn't mean they actually do! You need to find out right now where they got their foreign exchange reserves from!"

Night had fallen at the Quantum Fund's Wall Street headquarters, but several executives were still on the phone with people in Bangkok.

It's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do.

The situation is already very serious, so the executives of the Quantum Fund can no longer afford to be arrogant and domineering.

"Okay, BOSS, I'll go investigate right away."

Cameron Westbrook wanted to curse, but considering he had finally become the head of the Quantum Fund in Thailand, a powerful figure, he naturally didn't want to be dismissed in such a humiliating way.

This was an outcome he absolutely could not accept.

So after hanging up the phone, he immediately went to investigate.

Several hours later, he finally managed to schedule an appointment with Prasong, a mid-to-high-level official in the Thai banking system.

The latter was kind enough to give him face and accepted his invitation to dinner.

Of course, this is only because Cameron Westbrook was willing to pay in the past; otherwise, Bassong would definitely have refused if it were a last-minute attempt.

A little over an hour later, in a luxurious rooftop restaurant on one of Bangkok's busiest streets, Cameron led Basong to a pre-booked private room to begin their meal.

To be honest, Cameron quite likes the flavors of Southeast Asian cuisine, but he prefers and misses Chinese food even more.

The meal lasted for nearly twenty minutes. After Cameron handed over a check for $100,000, Bassong finally gave the answer he wanted.

“A week ago, my boss’s boss secretly contacted several Anglo-Saxon white men, and afterwards they received a large amount of US dollar foreign exchange support.”

"I don't know exactly where they came from, but I do know that several banks in Bangkok received at least two billion US dollars in support."

"Furthermore, I heard they have other support coming in. By the way, are you familiar with the Hongtai Group, a former conglomerate in Bangkok?"

Cameron nodded upon hearing this.

He certainly knew about the Hongtai Group, a behemoth in Bangkok.

Unfortunately, last year it provoked a powerful outsider, and as a result, Hongtai Group fell from grace and is now a small, insignificant enterprise.

Bassong leaned closer mysteriously and whispered in Cameron's ear:
“I’ve met some white men who were in charge of cracking down on the Hongtai Group before. They’ve also recently appeared in Bangkok, but I don’t know exactly where they live, so I can’t investigate.”

That's all the information I have. I believe it will be helpful to you.

Upon hearing this, Cameron quickly thanked him and said he needed to go out to make a phone call.

Basong naturally said it was no problem, and since he had already eaten, he left first.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, New York, Soros was still awake, even though it was already late at night, but he was still worried about the news from Southeast Asia.

He soon learned the intelligence information.

Upon learning that Anglo-Saxon whites were causing trouble behind the scenes, Soros's expression changed drastically.

But he immediately frowned. Saving Thailand would require at least hundreds of billions of US dollars in capital, and it would have to be in cash.

Furthermore, if international speculators like the Quantum Fund want to continue causing trouble, these Anglo-Saxon whites will certainly have to pay an even greater price.

Globally, there are very few companies with capital of this size.

So who is it?
Why would someone go against the grain like this?

So what makes them capable of success?

Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street giants quickly received the news.

So they were also wondering, who was it?
It is quite clear that the so-called Anglo-Saxon white man that Bassun saw was very likely a 'white glove'.

Regardless, it is definitely necessary to investigate who these Anglo-Saxon white men are and what their identities are.

The most important thing is to capture them and interrogate them to find out who the forces behind them are.
They've got guts to go against international financial speculators like the Quantum Fund.

In Bangkok, Kaltiem arranged for people to escort the Anglo-Saxon whites to a villa resort area on the outskirts of Bangkok.

No one will ever find out here.

Although Caltim has only been in Bangkok for a short time, he has already completely taken control of everything here.

He was very familiar with this place, so there was absolutely no need to worry about these white gloves being discovered.

Even if someone finds out by accident, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't get caught.

After arranging everything, Caltim sent a message in the internal chat group of Want Want Group's senior executives.

This internal group chat is not easy to enter. Each time, a temporary login password and password are required to log in. Most importantly, facial recognition is also required to unlock the chat. Otherwise, you cannot get in.

With multiple layers of protection, it is indeed impossible for outsiders to log in easily.

Another one is that Caltim is a senior executive. If something happens to him, well, the entire Want Want Group will probably be in trouble.

Zheng Baoyin saw the message in the group and couldn't help but smile.

This is a really good thing, because it's foreseeable that we'll be able to make a lot of money again.

Just a week ago, executives at Maple Leaf Holdings confirmed that the Thai government had succumbed to the overwhelming attacks and had chosen to back down.

This caused the Thai baht to begin to depreciate.

It was a complete rout, even more terrifying than a flood.

Therefore, Maple Leaf Holdings, having prepared everything in advance, arranged for a front man to contact Thailand and provided a very good solution.

Thailand would need hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more, to plug the breach in the dam in order to withstand this attack.

In addition, it is necessary to adjust economic and financial strategies in a timely manner.

Maple Leaf Holdings Group has no shortage of funds, so it used a front to make several demands to the Thai government.

The first is absolute control.

In other words, if Thailand wants to overcome this difficulty, it must have absolute faith and absolutely not allow itself to give up halfway.

For example, suddenly announcing a ceasefire and allowing the Thai baht to depreciate, or defaulting on the agreement.

Therefore, in response to this, Maple Leaf Holdings Group proposed a very tough default strategy, using Thailand's gold reserves and mines as collateral.

Secondly, for this operation, Thailand needs to pay a handling fee of 20 billion US dollars, which is Maple Leaf Holdings' appearance fee.

Finally, regarding the profits from this financial battle, Maple Leaf Holdings Group will take 63%.

And most importantly, that is secrecy.

There were many related treaty details, and the entire negotiation process lasted three days and three nights before the contract was finally signed.

After the cooperation was finalized, Maple Leaf Holdings Group began to take action.

By breaking the large operation into smaller parts and launching a simultaneous attack from both inside and outside Thailand, they managed to turn the tide.

As a result, Wall Street speculators such as Quantum Fund and Goldman Sachs have all gone from paper profits to paper losses.

"I wonder if this time, the Quantum Fund and these Wall Street giants will make a tough decision or fight to the bitter end?"

Zheng Baoyin pondered, but had no answer.

Because you won't know the outcome until the very last moment.

Bang!
In the remote Siberian primeval forest, Wang Jianchao is hunting.

When you're deep in the forest, you'll see deer; that's a given.

A sika deer is grazing in the bushes. The winter snow has not completely melted, so there is not much food available for them.

These hard-won tender green shoots are the most delicious.

Perhaps they were too engrossed in their task, because even when Wang Jianchao and his team got within a hundred meters, the sika deer didn't notice them.

At this distance, which was very close, Wang Jianchao raised his gun, aimed, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

After the shot rang out, the sika deer was indeed hit smoothly.

"Haha, another deer caught! Awesome!"

Wang Jianchao laughed heartily, his devilish laughter echoing through the forest.

Before long, they went up and took the sika deer away.

Just then, the drone emitted an unusual alarm, and the bodyguards on guard outside also alerted the crew via walkie-talkie.

"Boss, there's a squad seven kilometers ahead, heading in our direction."

"Are they here to cause me trouble?" Wang Jianchao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

However, he can remove the word "ma" because a conflict has already broken out ahead.

"go!"

Upon hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, Wang Jianchao decided to leave without hesitation.

Fortunately, where he is currently is not far from his Siberian tiger breeding base.

When the incident happened, he had already contacted the base to arrange for someone to come and pick him up.

With his wealth, he has already deployed a considerable amount of weaponry, equipment, and security personnel near the breeding base, most importantly, drones.

With the support of drones, Wang Jianchao believed that no one could kidnap him.

However, the fact that the enemy chose to confront him head-on indicates that the enemy knew about Wang Jianchao.

Seven or eight kilometers away, Wang Jianchao's bodyguard team had already encountered the enemy.

The two sides opened fire before they even met.

Bang bang bang!
A powerful long-range weapon for individual soldiers: the sniper rifle!

The enemy fired from 700 or 800 meters away, which immediately put Wang Jianchao's bodyguards on edge.

Sniper rifles are like killing machines; once you're targeted, it's extremely troublesome.

"Get cover and don't show your face!"

By this time, the drone had been destroyed, and they could only wait for reinforcements.

Wang Jianchao's side also encountered danger at the same time, because the enemy was not a small team, but two.

So when he retreated back to the Siberian tiger breeding base, he ran directly into a trap that the enemy had already laid, and five of his bodyguards were killed on the spot.

"You bastard, who killed me?"

Seeing his bodyguard lying in a pool of blood not far away, Wang Jianchao felt his blood boil and was extremely nervous.

The enemy probably wanted to capture him alive, not kill him, otherwise he would have been dead by now.

After all, the enemy was using a sniper rifle, and they pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, instantly killing five of his bodyguards.

Now he only has seven people left with him.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Behind the cover, the bodyguard squad leader hurriedly looked in the direction Wang Jianchao was hiding, but next to him was Li Chunbao, a super soldier king.

"Captain, the boss is alright."

Li Chunbao has an exceptionally keen sense of danger, which allows him to dodge immediately and avoid being shot by a sniper rifle.

The bodyguard captain breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his face immediately darkened.

How dare someone lay a hand on them?
