The must-not-know investment banking mindset that could give the U.S. a history of dominance?

Photo: In the women's 4X100 event, the United States was eliminated and then appealed successfully, surprisingly getting a solo rematch, racing alone on an empty track, and ultimately disqualifying China from the finals for no good reason, which is unheard of in the history of the Olympics.

Although the 16-day Olympic program is over, the Rio Olympics have been a mixed bag, with controversy and negative comments both on and off the track. One of the most controversial aspects is the fairness and impartiality of the games.

Undoubtedly, the most typical examples are: the U.S. team's 4*100 meter solo re-run, squeezing out the Chinese team to enter the final, and the boxing match in which Lv Bin was sentenced to lose after KOing his opponent.

The U.S. team always succeeds in its appeals with ease, while the Chinese team often fails in its appeals when faced with many unfair situations. If the Olympics is no longer about skill, what is it really about? The Olympics is not only a competition of sports, but also a competition of comprehensive national strength. Don't think that the U.S. team has always been so smooth, they have actually eaten the referee's loss in the Olympic Games, only that was more than 40 years ago.

In the 1972 Munich Olympics, the U.S. men's basketball team lost its first Olympic gold medal. With three seconds to go in the game, a Soviet player missed a shot, but the officiating crew gave a replay call. In the three seconds of the replay, the Soviets scored and the U.S. lost the gold medal it had won. The U.S. team refused to collect the silver medal afterward, and the medal is preserved to this day.

So let's look at what is one of the mysteries of America's development in recent years.

The "glamor" of American oil.

The United States has been able to become the world's financial hegemony, because from any point of view, it is at the top of the allocation of resources, enjoying the resources to bring the greatest benefits. Whether it uses political, military or economic means, its purpose is to stand at the top of the world's resources and compete for the right to allocate world resources. This is precisely the power of utilizing investment banking thinking.

In October 2015, the United States released a heavy time bomb: it will sell 58 million barrels of strategic reserve oil between 2018 and 2025.

There was an immediate outcry and controversy!

On the evening of October 26, the U.S. White House and bipartisan lawmakers reached an agreement on a budget plan. The content of the agreement includes two aspects: on the one hand, the U.S. Congress will temporarily cancel the ceiling of the federal debt, this measure in addition to a temporary solution to the U.S. debt ceiling crisis, for the world financial, did not have a direct impact; on the other hand, the U.S. plans to sell 58 million barrels of oil in the period of 2018 to 2025, which accounted for roughly 8 percent of the U.S. oil reserves more than. This news would have been dumbfounding enough, and the next news was even more explosive: the proceeds from the oil sell-off will be incorporated into the U.S. Treasury in the form of a general fund.

The United States is going to meet its growing welfare needs by selling oil from the Strategic Reserve!

Is this true? From these two seemingly unrelated agreements, we can get two messages: first, the US sale of strategic reserve oil is aimed at raising funds to fill the treasury and cover the continued increase in expenditures, in order to avoid the impending debt default problem and the possibility of a government shutdown, and even a possible impasse on raising the budget ceiling by 2017; second, following the Russian military intervention in Syria that caused the Secondly, following the dilemma caused by Russia's military intervention in Syria and China's establishment of an alternative "World Bank" institution, the allocation of resources by the United States with its investment banking mentality has once again led to drastic changes in the world's financial situation and order.

The biggest result of this incident is that the United States has not yet begun to sell oil, and it has already seriously affected the world, and the price of oil has begun to plummet continuously!

It not only proves the charm of the U.S. oil, but also explains the importance of investment banking thinking. In the past, investment banking thinking has been hidden in the depths of business, and is not well known, but as competition gradually tends to white-hot, in such a complex and volatile market environment, investment banking thinking began to gradually surface.

The history of U.S. domination is the history of the interpretation of investment banking thinking.
