Chapter 1264: Spectrum Club

"We in China have a saying, "Not being jealous is mediocre"," Tan Zhenhua shrugged and said: "Mr. Rich, I always think that the vicious curse from opponents is the best compliment to personal ability. I I feel that, for you, it may just be that there are more people who curse you, but doesn't this mean you are good?"
"Call me Mark," Mark. Rich laughed again: "I have a hunch, Eric, we will not only become like-minded comrades, but also friends who understand and trust each other. Do you think my hunch will become a reality?"
"As you wish, Mark, I have flown thousands of kilometers for this purpose."
"Well, Eric, let's go in. The guests are all here. They are all very curious. What kind of big person the new partner I plan to introduce to them tonight is, I guess, they will be surprised. of."
"Well, yes, it's up to you, but before you surprise your guests, can you give me a little preparation and tell me who the distinguished guests are tonight?"
"Eric, this is a surprise, you will know soon, um, but there is one thing I can reveal in advance. Among my guests, several of them have claimed to be your old friends. "
"Really? That's great. To be honest, I've been very busy lately. Maybe I accidentally ignored some old friends. If you can see them at the party you organized, it would be great... "
Tan Zhenhua said while following Mark. In the footsteps of the legend, Richie stepped into the huge living room of Spectrum Villa.
Then, he really saw several "old friends".
Jacob. Rothschild was the first to see him. There was obviously a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon as if he had figured out something, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he walked up to say hello: "Eric , I didn’t expect that the special guest tonight would be you, but when I think about it, it’s really not a surprise. As you are, sooner or later you will become one of them."
Tan Zhenhua's first reaction when he heard his words was to look at Jacob's right hand-in his memory, Jacob's right hand had never been decorated with anything, and this time was no exception.
So, what does Jacob mean by "becoming a member"? Apart from the Knights Templar, does the gathering here have any special meaning?
He just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by another person who greeted him, George. Soros laughed and stepped forward, and gave him a big hug: "The Mark secretly said that he would introduce a special guest to us tonight. I am still guessing who can let him Take so seriously, Eric, it's you, aha, I should have thought of it long ago. Welcome to join the "Spectrum Club."
"Welcome to the Spectrum Club." Another old friend smiled and greeted Tan Zhenhua. He is the helm of the Magellan Fund, the most successful stock investment fund under the "Fidelity Investment". Wall Street is nicknamed "Stock Angel". Peter, who was called "one of the greatest investors in history and the chief fund manager of Wall Street" by Time magazine. Lynch.
And with Peter, who was born with a white-headed boy. Lynch walked together, it is actually the director and CEO of Citibank, John. Reid.
With Peter. Lynch also said hello, Tan Zhenhua turned to John. Reid said in a half-joking tone: "John, I didn't expect you to be here. If I knew you were here, I wouldn't be here. Your appearance reminded me that I still have a huge debt that I have not paid off. , I owe you 5 billion dollars, which is too bad."
"It is $5,782,044,335. This is the data as of yesterday." John. Reid said sternly: "Eric, you have to add interest."
"Well, I owe you US$5.078.24,335, then Reid, will you ask me to pay this debt now? Look, I thought I was here for a party today , So I don't have much money with me..."
John. Reid suddenly laughed and laughed: "Eric, you are such a humorous person, well, you owe me a lot of money, but I seem to remember that it was a long-term loan, and now it is far from needing to be repaid. At the time, to be honest, I wish you would borrow more money from me. Okay, I'll talk about these things later. Now, I have to say, welcome to join the "Spectrum Club."
"So what kind of club is this "spectrum club"?" Tan Zhenhua took the opportunity to ask: "The owner here seems to have forgotten to introduce it to me."
"Eric, you don't know what the "Spectrum Club" does?" John. Reid asked in surprise, and then shrugged his shoulders in relief: "Well, you are here for the first time, and it’s normal if you don’t know, so let me explain for the host here." Club", it is a burning torch, representing light and hope. It will help the suffering Soviet Russian people to see the true appearance of the colorful world outside the curtain through the red curtain."
With John. According to Reid's introduction, Tan Zhenhua finally understood the origin and mission of the "Spectrum Club"-this started with another well-known organization, the "Paris Club".
The Paris Club is an international informal organization established in 1956. It is composed of 22 of the world's wealthiest countries. It provides debt arrangements for debtor and creditor countries, such as debt restructuring, debt relief, and even debt cancellation.
In layman's terms, the function of the Paris Club is similar to the "creditor association", providing an intermediary role in coordinating the relationship between creditor and debtor countries. It will help countries that need to borrow to find lenders who are willing to provide funds, and there will also be a repayment crisis in debtor countries. Provide coordination services to help its debt restructuring, apply for extension or even reduction or exemption from creditor countries.
Of course, the plan provided by this kind of intermediary activity does not have a real legal binding force on both borrowers. It only provides suggestions and plans. The final result depends on the wishes of the borrowers and the final agreement. The content of the loan agreement.
Obviously, the lenders of funds provided by the Paris Club are the 22 industrial countries or developed countries that initiated the club, and the borrowers are generally the third world underdeveloped countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America. For example, the first in history The country that carried out debt restructuring under the coordination of the Paris Club is the book’s "old friend", the crying country, and the sad Argentina.
But all of this changed when a "borrower" was added to a special country. The students must have guessed that this "borrower" is the red giant bear-Soviet Russia.
For the addition of this unexpected and reasonable new "borrower", the members of the Paris Club were both pleasantly surprised and uneasy. After all, there is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed in the process of repaying debts-collection.
Of course, it is okay to collect collections from third-world countries. At the worst, there is also the use of force as the ultimate method. Anyway, the value of force is crushed. You are not afraid of not winning. The money spent in wars can also add a few allowance debts. The country bears it, but how do you collect it from Soviet Russia?
Will the third world war be launched?
So whoever finishes the game first is not necessarily true!
So after a lot of intensive consultations, a new organization came out—the Spectrum Club was born.
