Chapter 739: A Battlefield Without Gunpowder Smoke
In today’s world, it’s hard for truly powerful nations to break out in war, because once they start, the scale is too large, the losses too heavy, and no one can bear it.
So powerful nations engage in a different sort of warfare, namely financially and through trade. Sometimes, to destroy a place, you don’t need airplanes or artillery; simply destroying the local economy is enough.
To wage a financial and trade war, currency is the most powerful weapon. Therefore, this can also be called a currency war.
One thing that international financiers like to do is to strike at a particular locality’s currency and make a fortune from it. Now, these international financiers have set their sights on the currency of Star Country.
To target a place’s currency, there must be basic conditions: first, the place does not have much foreign exchange reserves; second, the economy of the place is overheating.
Of course, having these two conditions is still not enough. Every location has different circumstances, and specific conditions need to be analyzed in detail.
Gu Fan now heard that one of Boss Lei’s Leida Funds had joined the ranks to strike at Star Country’s currency. This shows that Boss Lei’s position could get involved in such big actions. Naturally, Boss Ding also invested some money in the Leida Fund, in the hope of making a fortune.
Gu Fan had been observing the condition of the star coin. In the past few years, star coin has not appreciated much against international currency. This means that international financiers have been very cautious in collecting star coins. The first reason is to prevent star coin from appreciating. Because if the star coin appreciates, it will increase the cost of collecting star coins. The second reason is to hide their intentions from Star Country so that they can stay prepared.
"Is it coming?" Gu Fan knew that as soon as international speculators made a move, it meant that they have collected enough star coins.
