Chapter 415 Capital Influx from Various Countries
Sure enough, Masco's words immediately drew cheers from the internet.
"Mr. Masco is right. These damned capitalists only know how to exploit us, and when the stock market goes wrong, they just stand by and watch us suffer!"
"This stock market turmoil was entirely orchestrated by those capitalists, just to prevent us from enjoying the benefits of the tax haven law!"
"Damn the Federal Reserve, damn the capitalists!"
Meanwhile, on Senado Island.
When Masko stepped forward to announce a bailout for the market, the Freemasons' faces all turned very grim.
"Shit! I told you long ago this guy was an ingrate, impossible to tame. We should have nipped him in the bud when he first rose to power!"
"That damned Masco, how could he step forward and announce a bailout? How dare he do this!"
"We should have wiped this guy out of the way back then, otherwise he wouldn't be causing trouble today!"
"When exactly did he get involved with David?!"
At this moment, all the members present were filled with regret, regretting that they had only suppressed Masco and had not gone all out to destroy him.
You see, while Masco's capital may not be much to them, his personal charisma is currently too high worldwide. Getting involved at this critical juncture would be a very uncertain factor for them.
"There's no point in worrying about this now. Masko's wealth is nothing to us, but if capital from various countries floods in under his influence, we'll be in trouble."
It was Thoros who said these words.
As one of the two most renowned legendary figures in the stock market today, he is certainly well aware of Masco's influence on the market.
"Soros is right. Masco is nothing compared to us. What's truly terrifying is the herd mentality he creates—that's the real trouble!"
Following Soros, another stock market tycoon, Buffett, also spoke out.
Seeing that the two "leaders" who initiated this stock market war had said this, the mood of the remaining Freemasons present plummeted.
After a long pause, Henrietta spoke up and asked, "The stock market is about to open, so what do you two think we should do?"
"If only we could restrict foreign investment in the market..."
"Being caught in the crossfire of foreign investment wouldn't have been a problem in the past, but it's probably not so easy to achieve now!"
"That's right. Right now, the White House is just watching the show. And ever since the CIA, FBI, and NSA were purged, other agencies are terrified of David. Even if we restrict foreign investment, those agencies probably wouldn't dare offend David to help us."
As soon as Buffett's idea was uttered, it was immediately met with the shake of the heads of the other members present.
The situation has become so complicated that it's a far cry from what it used to be.
Previously, the White House dared not offend them, and various departments also had their cronies. If they wanted to obstruct foreign investment from entering the market, they could do so with ease.
But now David is so powerful that even the White House is wary of him, and under this bastard's tough measures, all departments have become cautious, so it is naturally difficult for them to do the same thing again.
"It's about to start, and even if we wanted to restrict it, there's no time left. We can only give it our all and see how things go!"
"Yes, Soros is right. For now, we can only continue with yesterday's strategy and see how things unfold."
The consecutive statements by Soros and Buffett essentially signaled the upcoming steps.
Time flies, and it's already September 9.30th.
At this point, the stock market officially begins!
According to the plans of Soros and Buffett.
As soon as the market opened, the three major groups ordered their traders to frantically sell off shares of the giant companies they controlled.
After a night of rest, Sean Thompson's funds were now much more plentiful after some adjustments, and he was able to buy up all the stocks that were being sold off.
And just like that, another hour or so passed quietly.
With the massive sell-off by the three major groups, countless retail investors were also caught up in the frenzy, just like yesterday, resulting in an exceptionally brutal stock market.
Two hours later, after investing tens of billions of dollars to take over, Sean Thompson and the local families in various states gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Just then, new capital poured in, instantly boosting their confidence.
Because the capital that broke in was none other than the capital led by Masco.
"Here he comes! Masco is entering the field!"
"As expected of the newly crowned world's richest man, his entry instantly stabilized the market, and those retail investors who were originally preparing to sell temporarily stopped and started to observe!"
"David's decision to bring in Mascara to save the market was absolutely the right one!"
At the National Taxation Administration headquarters, many senior officials breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the stock market situation improve.
At the same time, they were also glad that David had made the decision to bring Masco on board.
"Masko's arrival has temporarily stabilized the stock market, but a major battle is likely to follow. Let's see what happens!"
Unlike many high-ranking officials.
David, who was connected via video link at the time, did not appear overly happy.
Because he knew very well that although Masco's entry into the market had indeed injected a strong boost into the market, it would be difficult for him to compete with the three major groups in the stock market with his own capital alone. He needed to get the capital from all over the world that was still observing to get involved.
This is what will play a decisive role!
With that in mind, David immediately picked up the phone and dialed Elvis's number.
"Chief Elvis, I have a task for you..."
"Understood, leave it to me!"
This is CIA headquarters.
After hanging up the phone, Elvis immediately summoned his confidants and then made some arrangements.
Not long after, CIA sites in China, the British Empire, France, and other countries received a unified order from headquarters.
That is to promote and mislead the public about the US stock market.
The propaganda and inducement content is also very simple: it conveys a message to major capital groups that the US stock market is currently in a period of turmoil, which is a good opportunity to pick up bargains.
This is an opportunity that you might not get another chance in 10 or 20 years if you miss it. Why don't you hurry up and take advantage of it?
Of course, this is just using profit-driven propaganda to lure people in.
However, this is not the CIA's main target. Another point the CIA is targeting is the Federal Reserve's frequent interest rate hikes to fleece global capital.
The current stock market crash in the United States was caused by these people behind the scenes. If you join in this time and strike a blow against the Freemasons, they will have to think twice before raising interest rates again!
Compared to the first point, capital from various countries is more attracted to the second point.
To be honest, they've been furious for years because the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates and fleecing them.
But there's nothing we can do; the US dollar is the world's reserve currency.
And since the Federal Reserve is the parent of the US dollar, it can only let the other party do as it pleases!
But now, this is a great opportunity for revenge, and if we miss this chance, we may never have such a good opportunity again.
In order to avoid being fleeced in the future, how can we not get involved?
Soon, capital from various countries made a decision.
Capital from China, the British Empire, France, and other countries rushed into the American stock market, joining forces with the local families of Sean and Thompson to continuously buy up the shares being sold off by the three major conglomerates.
Suddenly, the situation became much more favorable for David!
"Hahaha, David, that was ruthless of you!"
"Yes, by exploiting the Federal Reserve's exploitation of capital in various countries, they've lured these funds in. Now the Freemasons are in for a rough time!"
"Not bad, not bad at all. The CIA's operational capabilities are quite strong. If I were one of those capitalists from various countries, I would also join in and take a gamble!"
As the scales of victory gradually tipped in their favor, the top officials of the IRS were all beaming with joy.
Obadiah and Vertonghen, among others, also praised David's tactic of using one enemy to devour another.
At this moment, David himself was no longer silent as before, and a faint look of joy appeared on his face.
Because it's already clear that with the influx of major capital, the scales of victory are gradually tipping in their favor.
Once the stock market crash is over, he will be able to take over those funds without any hindrance!
As the saying goes, for every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.
On Senado Island.
"Fuck, how could this happen? How could this happen!"
"These damned bastards, how dare they go against us, how dare they!"
"Shit... This must have been planned by that bastard David. They actually guided capital from various countries to join in. This is tantamount to colluding with the enemy, selling out national assets!"
The Freemasons were well aware that the influx of foreign capital was now putting pressure on them, so they were furious and cursing.
Some extreme members have even begun to condemn David's act of inviting trouble.
However, what they didn't expect was that when it came to letting wolves into the house and selling off state-owned assets, no one had ever been more ruthless than them.
This time, however, they are no longer the beneficiaries.
"Soros, Buffett, what do you think?"
Although Henrietta was also angry, he did not lose his temper and start cursing like the other members. Instead, he looked at the two of them.
"We are not afraid of the Kennedy and Thompson families' capital alone, but now capital from various countries is rushing in, and we are starting to struggle to keep up..."
"That's right. I was worried before that Masko's entry would trigger a herd effect among capital from various countries, and now it has indeed come true. It will be difficult to handle the situation now..."
Whether it was Buffett or Soros, the ominous meaning behind their words was self-evident.
"Don't give me that, just tell us what to do!"
Henrietta was clearly dissatisfied with their answer, and her words were somewhat harsh.
Soros and Buffett exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly. Finally, Soros spoke up, "Mr. Henrietta, I think the best option now is to stop selling the stocks we have..."
"Yes, if we continue dumping like this, we'll likely suffer a double loss. If we stop, at least we can minimize our losses!"
As two world-renowned stock market gurus, their years of experience have taught them that with capital from various countries vying to enter the market, this battle is already very difficult to win.
"What do you mean? If we stop selling now, won't they be able to stabilize the stock market very quickly? Wouldn't everything we've done be for nothing?"
"Yes, we lost terribly on the bill, and now the stock market is in this state. Are we destined to be losers forever?"
"If we were going to cut our losses, we should have done so after the bill took effect, not waited until now, after investing so much and suffering such heavy losses, before taking further action. Buffett and Soros, you owe me an explanation!"
The Freemasons present objected.
The idea of frantically selling off stocks to force the David Investigation Foundation to back down was yours.
Now things are really messed up. Not only did they fail to kill the enemy, but they also suffered huge losses and are expected to end up in a humiliating manner. How can they accept this?
"This... I didn't expect Masko to get involved, let alone that capital from various countries would be drawn in..."
At this point, Soros was also in a difficult position. Although everyone respectfully called him the stock market god, even the stock market god had his share of setbacks.
Just like when he stirred up the financial storm in Asia, although he reaped profits from many Asian countries, he ultimately failed when facing Hong Kong.
This latest defeat is just another setback in his career.
"The stock market is constantly changing, and no one can guarantee a win. I admit that we may have a hard time winning this time, but we must acknowledge that some losses are necessary!"
Buffett also gave a speech tinged with bitterness.
However, the people present did not listen and continued to hurl insults at the two of them.
Fortunately, Henrietta stepped forward, which silenced the crowd. He said, "Alright, Buffett-Soros is one of us. Since they say things are beyond saving, let's cut our losses..."
No sooner had Henrietta finished speaking than Joshua couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately retorted, "Mr. Henrietta, if we back down so easily, we will lose all credibility in the eyes of foreign capitalists. Then, it won't be so easy to use interest rate hikes to exploit them!"
"That's right. The stock market situation this time isn't really that bad. The key issue is that it has set a precedent for capital flight from various countries, which is very disadvantageous for us."
"Besides that, I think everyone also needs to think about the foundation. If we can't make a splash in the stock market, we won't be able to force David out, and then our foundation will probably be unable to escape his clutches!"
"..."
Following Joshua, the representatives of the other six families also expressed their concerns.
To be honest, the current state of the stock market may have caused heavy losses for other Freemasons, but for the seven families that control the Federal Reserve, it's just a drop in the ocean.
What they're truly worried about is that if they show weakness this time, it will shake the foundations of the Federal Reserve and put their foundations in a passive position—that's the most serious consequence! (End of Chapter)
