Vivian Zhao's Choice Between Love and Wealth Chapter 274

In a building on London's financial street in the UK, there is an investment company that is not much bigger than Chuanhe Capital. The boss is Joe Lewis, who was born in 1937. He dropped out of school at the age of 15 to help manage his father's catering business. After he took over the family business, he began to sell luxury goods to American tourists and gradually expanded his business scope. In 1979, he sold the family business and earned his first pot of gold.

Then he started foreign exchange trading, and discovered his talent in the following years of trading career. Two years ago, in 1992, he joined the Quantum Fund and became the assistant of financial tycoon Soros. He successfully attacked the British pound and accumulated huge wealth in the pound's plunge on "Black Wednesday" that year. The money he earned from this pound ambush even exceeded Soros.

He left Quantum Fund and returned to the UK last June to establish Tavistock Investment Company. In fact, he had noticed a series of economic and political problems in Mexico very early on, and predicted that under the influence of various adverse factors, the Mexican economy would definitely face a crisis. However, Mexico is the world's ninth largest economy and the third largest trading partner of the United States. The North American Free Trade Area and Mexican financial stability are vital to the US economy, which has a relatively stabilizing effect on the confidence of speculators and investors. Therefore, he judged that the Mexican financial crisis would definitely break out, but the time should be July or August 1995, or even early 1996. However, he never imagined that the Mexican government would commit suicide by announcing a devaluation of the peso in order to stabilize the country's increasingly serious economic problems.

The Mexican government's decision caught him off guard, but fortunately he had been making preparations. Although it was a bit hasty, he still acted quickly and without delay. But when he entered the scene, he suddenly discovered that there was a giant crocodile hiding underwater, preying frantically, and the funds invested were much larger than his.

He once suspected that this hidden tycoon was his former boss Soros, but after analysis and tracking the flow of funds, he found that it was not Soros, but an offshore company from the Cayman Islands. But that was the end of it. He could not investigate the specific identity with his current ability.
