Chapter 347: The Vast Star Chart

"Chairman Su, the EU has sent a new document,"
Liu Bo rushed into the chairman's office, his face filled with disbelief.
"The EU...they agreed! The conditions are similar to those of the US, no! They're even more outrageous than what the US offered!
The US required us to hold the shares for three months before we could trade freely, but the EU...they haven't even removed that restriction!"
"Oh, what's going on?"
"Well...I don't know either."
Just a short while ago, the EU was acting all high and mighty, using various restrictive regulations to try and lock Fang Huan's funds firmly into their rules, making them completely at their mercy.
But now, their attitude has completely reversed.
All Su Hao did was send over a blank document containing a terrifyingly cryptic message.
"Are there any hidden traps or additional clauses in the contract?"
"No, absolutely not! Our legal department has checked it word for word.
It's said that the EU has completed consultations with several major European countries and reached a consensus, granting us greater freedom than the US market."
"It seems the European market is in dire straits?"
"I guess they initially wanted to maintain a facade, but the market deteriorated day by day, public discontent boiled over, and they simply couldn't hold on any longer, so they were forced to change their minds.
There are rumors that EU President Merkel has been lobbying heads of state relentlessly for this matter, practically working herself to the bone."
It seems the EU has reached a point of desperation, willing to scramble for even the worst options.
Even if it's a desperate measure, they must immediately introduce Fang Huan's massive amount of funds to save the collapsing financial market.
Perhaps, in President Merkel's view, the sooner this money floods the market, the greater the chance of survival.
Or perhaps… there are deeper reasons they don't know.
“Chairman Su, what do we do now?”
“Since the host has opened all doors, we, as guests, have no reason not to go in and have a seat.”
Su Hao's lips curled slightly upward.
“Anyway, the money in the account is ready.”
“Yes! To be honest, I never dreamed they would suddenly be this lenient.
Perhaps, they only understand the pain when the fire is burning their eyebrows.
So…Chairman Su, would you like me to review the investment plan first?”
Su Hao's gaze passed over Liu Bo and fell upon the team members waiting behind him.
Each of them held a thick stack of reports, piled up like several small mountains.
"...This setup is a bit over the top."
"Chairman Su, this time it's not like in the US, where we only entered a single country's financial market.
We're facing the whole of Europe!
The EU has 27 member states. Even if we don't plan to enter all markets, the research department has already compiled at least the basic intelligence and analysis."
Looking at the mountain of documents, Su Hao felt a suffocating pressure.
But...this was a mountain that had to be crossed!
Moreover, he wasn't fighting this tough battle alone.
His team had poured even more effort into this moment than he had.
"Based on their basic advice, the first step is to purchase corporate bonds to stabilize the precarious credit default swap (CDS) market.
After using this money, we will ultimately have approximately three trillion in available funds."
The other party is not without its demands.
The most urgent task is to inject much-needed lifeline into companies on the verge of bankruptcy through large-scale purchases of corporate bonds, buying precious breathing space for the entire market.
"The core of the EU financial market can be said to be France, Germany, and Italy.
To revitalize the whole of Europe, we must first stabilize the markets of these three countries."
Only once these three countries stabilize can funds be injected into the markets of other countries such as Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland, forming a virtuous cycle.
"Therefore, we'll roughly allocate funds in an 80/20 split.
80% of the funds will be concentrated in France, Germany, and Italy.
The remaining 20% ​​will be distributed evenly across other markets, like sprinkling pepper.
Germany and France have larger markets and stronger capital throughput;
However, the Italian market has limited capacity, and a sudden influx of huge amounts of capital could cause severe volatility, requiring careful management."
Su Hao listened to the report, nodding as he casually flipped through the research report his team had handed him.
"…!"
The instant he opened the document, an extraordinary perception exploded in his vision!
On the report, seemingly insignificant stock codes shone with dazzling golden light in his eyes, flashing wildly between the lines, like a vast star map, vying to reveal their hidden value!
Su Hao's pen danced across the paper, like a shopaholic on a shopping spree, circling each of the gleaming options.
This amount… it's fucking ridiculously large!
Can I finish this before bed tonight?
A full three trillion yuan needs to be precisely divided into countless portions, like a meticulously planned rain shower, poured onto this parched, cracked land.
This means he must assess the exact amount of each investment.
However, the problems don't end there.
“Um, Chairman Su,” Liu Bo asked cautiously,
“These targets you've identified for purchase… how long should we hold them?”
In the US market, they were forced to lock up their shares for three months.
Although the EU hasn't imposed restrictions this time, from a market rescue perspective, at least one to two months should be allowed for the market to absorb this force and return to stability.
“How about… two months?” Liu Bo asked tentatively.
Su Hao quietly listened to his intuition, but at this moment, his intuition showed no reaction to the "two months" timeframe.
"If you're not satisfied after two months, then... one month?"
"..." Su Hao shook his head, still feeling nothing.
"Then... three weeks?"
"..."
Damn it, no reaction even after three weeks!
Liu Bo continued guessing: "Two weeks... ten days... one week..."
"..."
"Five... five days? Three days!"
Still deathly silence.
At this moment, Li Huilin couldn't help but interject:
"One day!!"
The scene looked like a bidding war at an auction.
However, even after "one day," Su Hao's intuition remained calm and unwavering.
What was going on?
Could it be... that his intuition had suddenly failed him?
Or... that the timeframe was even shorter?
