Chapter 207 Battling the Foreign Exchange Market
After saying goodbye to Greyson, Bertha returned home.
Kamden and his wife were watching the news in the living room. Seeing their daughter return, the wife immediately stood up.
“Bertha, you’re back.”
Bertha put down her bag, came over to the sofa and said to Kamden, “Dad, I don’t want to deal with the hotel anymore. You should a**ign someone else to take over!”
“Huh?”
Kamden looked at his daughter, puzzled, “What’s going on?”
The lady was also very puzzled. Her daughter had always managed things well, so why did she suddenly not want to manage anymore?
Didn’t she always want to be a strong woman since she was a child?
Bertha explained, “I found a job.”
“What?”
Kamden was dumbfounded. What kind of job would make you give up managing your own hotel to work for someone else?
He felt something was off, quickly turned off the TV, and asked, “What’s going on?”
The lady also asked from the side, “How much money did they give you? You are actually willing to work for others?”
Of course, Bertha couldn’t say that not only was there no salary, but she also had to pay a deposit of three billion.
If I had spoken out, I guess my parents would have freaked out on the spot.
Paying three billion as a deposit to work for someone else, it’s probably unprecedented in history, right?
At that time, my mom went out and told her best friend, “See, my daughter spent three billion to find a job that doesn’t pay.”
Seeing her parents‘ expressions, Bertha had no choice but to reveal a bit, “Dad, I want to learn forex trading with Greyson.”
Upon hearing this, Kamden immediately understood, “You’re saying Greyson was trading foreign exchange?”
“Exactly! Otherwise, where would he have gotten so much money?”
“Good!”
Kamden slapped the arm of the sofa hard, “Dad supports you!”
“Tell me if you need money!”
Since he had interacted with Greyson a few times, he felt that this young man was not simple.
People kept investing billions and billions into their own company. At the last meeting with Mr. Nash, they invested in another billion–dollar project, taking over the Ravero Automobile Factory.
Such immense economic power made it impossible for anyone to truly understand his capabilities.
Since the daughter had such an opportunity, why not let her give it a
try?
Having received her dad’s support, Bertha felt rea**ured.
The next day, she arrived at Blue Print Investment, Paloma had long heard about this from Greyson.
Then he personally arranged for someone to sign a contract with her.
Bertha had honestly handed over three billion in security deposit and completed the onboarding procedures.
From that moment on, she was Paloma’s a**istant.
However, she took a leave today to go back to the hotel to handle the handover.
After paying the deposit, she bitterly smiled at the few hundred million left in her account.
Became a pauper!
Then I called Greyson, “I’ve completed the onboarding process, I’ll start work tomorrow.”
“Congratulations on becoming a staff member of Blue Print Investment.”
“Bertha, such a festive occasion, should we celebrate properly tonight?”
Bertha was speechless, hoping that this guy wouldn’t play her.
However, not long after Bertha started her job, she immediately experienced that thrilling feeling.
After a minor rally, Mythosia dollar was suddenly hit with a larger bearish pressure.
That overwhelming short selling made the entire country of Mythosia feel despair.
These top international speculators initially borrowed a large amount of Mythosia dollars from Mythosia Bank, and then ma**ively sold them off in the foreign exchange market.
This directly led to the devaluation of the Mythosia dollar, with a drop of around 30% in just one day.
Seeing such a situation, Mythosia Bank had no choice but to decouple from the Silverglade dollar, no longer affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
Despite this, the situation of the Mythosia dollar depreciating remained unchanged.
In the following week, Bertha witnessed the frantic operation mode of Blue Print Investment.
Paloma had already put all her funds on the line, going all in.
As a newly hired a**istant, Bertha’s heart was about to jump out.
If it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This kind of trading strategy, hadn’t they ever considered the risks?
After all, she had experienced it herself, ten billion in funds disappeared without even a blink of an eye.
Blue Print Investment had a fund of over three hundred billion, and of course, she had now also become a part of the core team of Blue Print Investment.
In the past, she would have had no way of knowing the true strength of
Blue Print Investment.
What was the concept of over three hundred billion?
Even Bertha couldn’t have imagined.
But the time to witness the miracle came quickly.
In the subsequent ten or so days, the exchange rate of the Mythosia dollar plummeted drastically.
Once fell below 50%.
It was too terrifying!
After all, the normal range was usually a rise or fall of one or two
points, this time it was an unprecedented big sweep.
So many international speculators shorted collectively, the Mythosia dollar completely collapsed.
“Close out the positions!”
During this period, Greyson had also been staying here, personally holding the fort.
At the most critical moment, Greyson did not hesitate to issue the order to close out positions.
Paloma, Bertha, and almost everyone in the control room were holding their breath, extremely tense.
After the short position was closed, the hanging heart finally settled down.
The planning for this layout took quite a long time, a full month and
more.
Everyone’s nerves were on edge with the fluctuations of the exchange
rate index.
Finally, the positions were closed!
The account balance showed: 1026.77 billion Silverglade dollars.
Converted into the national currency, it was 687.936 billion.
The profit exceeded 90%.
Everyone cheered, jumped for joy, and excitedly embraced each other.
Bertha was completely stunned, the funds of Blue Print Investment were actually close to over seven hundred billion.
How many Ravero companies must have been outcompeted by this? I’m afraid that even if all the major Ravero families united, they wouldn’t amount to half of it, right?
The capital market was too terrifying.
But Greyson shook his head, Paloma saw that he was upset and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Greyson said, “We only made such a small amount of money in such a good market, that shouldn’t be the case.”
“Did you know, opportunities like this won’t come too often in the future?”
Bertha said, “No way, you’re still dissatisfied with such results?”
Greyson glanced at her, “So you’re saying you can only be an a**istant,
huh.”
Bertha pursed her lips.
He instructed Paloma, “Same as always, give everyone a few days off to rest well.”
“For traveling, going abroad was also an option.”
She could finally rest, she had been too tired during this period.
But she had no travel plans.
“Bertha, you should go back to school as well. You’ve worked hard!”
Paloma said to Bertha.
“Alright, thank you, Ms. Frazier.”
When returning to school with Greyson, Bertha was still shocked.
My own mindset was too narrow, such a big scene really overwhelmed me, I truly couldn’t control it.
She looked at Greyson with a particularly complex expression, “How on earth did you do it?”

Greyson knew that this incident had brought her a huge psychological shock, and from then on, the proud Bertha would probably have to be submissive.
This guy said meaningfully, “No rush, the road ahead is still long.”
“The ten–year pact has just begun, work hard with me, and I will help you open up a bigger picture.”
