After the price of Bitcoin soared more than three times yesterday, it reached the highest price of $237.13 today and then dived. It fell all the way to the price of $117.24, which was a direct cut from the intraday high.

It finally rebounded to $137.88 and ended with a sharp drop of -33.64% that day. However, on July 17 the next day, it rose again by +19.97%, and the price rose to $165.41.

In the following days, the price trend of Bitcoin began to fluctuate around the price range of $125 to $185.

The price fluctuations are still very large, and the fluctuation is more than ten or even twenty percentage points within a day.

The impact of the entry of Qunxing Capital goes beyond the Bitcoin market itself, and it can be said that it has had a far-reaching impact on the entire cryptocurrency industry.

After all, such a large group of non-bank financial giants harvesting the Mt.Gox trading platform has never happened since the birth of Bitcoin. That game.

Now that a financial giant group like Qunxing Capital is involved, it is simply a huge benefit for the cryptocurrency market, which is still on the edge of the niche.

Now, players in the currency circle began to blow wildly.

For example, touting the "scarcity" of Bitcoin, the number of all Bitcoins is fixed at 21 million, the supply is fixed but the demand is increasing, and currently there are only about 10 million in circulation, and there are tens of millions that have not been dug out. Many of the 10 million bitcoins in circulation are in a "sleeping" state. In other words, many people hold bitcoins and can't find them if they forget them.

Then it is touting that the acceptance of the public is constantly improving. Financial giants are participating in the mainstream capital market, and a large number of new investors are being ushered in. People's enthusiasm for Bitcoin and the receiving end are greatly increasing. Can break through 10 million scale.

In short, the price of Bitcoin will definitely skyrocket in the future.

However, not all of them are bullish. There are also many voices that are diametrically opposed, such as the mining cycle, which involves complex algorithms behind mining, which will affect the circulation speed of new coins and halve existing bitcoins. The value of currency holdings, etc.

Another example is the issue of cryptocurrency regulation. At present, the regulatory status of cryptocurrency, an emerging asset class, is still unclear, and attitudes are also uneven. Any new regulations may affect its value.

There are also some people in the investment circle who believe that Qunxing Capital’s rash entry into this emerging asset class at this time is extremely risky, because policy uncertainty is the biggest risk.

This kind of analysis by some people in the industry is not unreasonable, and the risk is still deterministic. If you do well, you will be targeted by Europeans and Americans. It is true that a regulation can make you lose, and you can forget it if you lose.

That's why Merrill was dragged into the water...

At this point, the outside world is obviously not aware of Qunxing Capital's strategic intentions.

...

a month later.

Far in Kismaayo, south of Somali, East Africa.

A helicopter was flying over Kismayo. Among the people in the plane was Harold Leo, the head of Blue Fox International.

"Boss, do we really want to set up the headquarters in a chaotic place like Somali?" A man next to him said loudly, the helicopter was so loud that he had to turn up the volume.

"Because of the chaos, this is the most suitable headquarters base for Blue Fox International." Harold Leo overlooked the city below. Kismayo is the southern port city of Somali and the third largest city in the country.

Its location is 528 kilometers southwest of the country's capital, Mogadisha, at the mouth of the Juba River. The city was built in 1872. The southern area is a local commercial center and an important banana market.

There are also modern slaughterhouses and small factories such as large meat and fish canneries and tanning.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the deep-water port project was completed. It can berth into seagoing ships, mainly exporting bananas, livestock, leather, canned food, etc. There is also a road leading to Mogadisha, and there is an air station.

Blue Fox International chose to locate its headquarters base in this area because it is chaotic enough and the truth is what it says.

As for Kismayo, which is near the sea, there is a deep-water port that can accommodate seagoing ships, and there is also an air station. These conditions are very good.

If there is a need in the future, there will be a port, an air station, and at that time, there will be a warship and a third-generation aircraft. There will also be a site foundation, and it will be enough to upgrade it.

Harold Leo immediately asked, "When will the cargo ship arrive at the port?"

The subordinate next to him immediately replied: "Three hours later."

Harold Leo said, "Go home."

The helicopter immediately pulled to the left and gradually moved away.

At 17:00 local time, on the sea surface in the eastern area of ​​Kismayo, a large cargo ship was approaching the city's deep-water port.

But at this moment, six or seven small kayaks appeared on the sea, each with a few people, and holding AK-47, the kayaks kept approaching the cargo ship, and the cargo ship sounded the alarm after a while.

The pirates are coming!

However, the cargo ship still ignored it, maintaining its original speed and heading towards the port as usual.

"Son of bitch!" A middle-aged man on the boat cursed, and immediately said with a microphone: "Ike, send us a welcome ceremony!"

"Got it, Captain!"

At this moment, these Somali pirates thought it was an ordinary cargo ship, completely unaware that more than two hundred members on it were all mercenaries armed to the teeth, and the goods in the cargo ship were all "languages" that the pirates could understand , and did not realize that the helicopter parked on the deck of this large cargo ship is an armed helicopter, but its appearance is not military coating, it looks civilian.

Of course, this is also related to the perspective of the pirates, who could not fully see the helicopter.

After a while, several people entered the helicopter on the deck of the cargo ship, and it took off quickly.

"Target confirmation complete! Target lock complete!"

"emission!"

All I saw was a point-to-point missile that roared towards it, dragging a long tail of smoke and accurately hitting one of the small kayaks.

Suddenly the flames shot up into the sky.

The pirates in the other small kayaks were terrified when they saw this scene. Realizing that they had kicked the iron plate, they all turned around and ran away without saying a word, and the small kayaks ran away at full speed.

This horse riding is not a civilian ship at all, but an armed helicopter.

"Commander, the threat is removed, do you want to attack all the targets?"

"Let's return to the voyage. The purpose of deterrence has been achieved. Missiles are expensive."

"Got it, Commander!"

The helicopter slowly landed on the deck, and the surrounding pirates no longer dared to attack. Although the pirates were ruthless, they were not stupid. Obviously, two AKs could not provoke them.

The large cargo ship docked smoothly. Dozens of heavily armed mercenary members landed first and loaded their bullets for vigilance. The locals avoided and watched with cold eyes. There were also some pirates among them, but no one dared to provoke them.

After a while, military Humvees produced by AMG drove out of the cargo ship along the passageway erected. The exterior was painted with the capital letter logo of "BFIS", which is the abbreviation of Blue Fox International, and they are all beautiful weapons. Equipment, which is mainly purchased from several old American military giants such as General Dynamics.

It may not be a bad thing for Harold Leo to have a retired Magnesium Army background. Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of effort to get these equipment, but it actually went much smoother than expected.

Of course, the most important thing and the best thing to use is the green paper bills. Without bills, no background will work.

After all, there is a large purchase order of 2 billion US dollars, and there will be more in the future. Such a large order is rare.

Up to now, Laomei still regards Blue Fox International, a private security company, as her "teammate". Why not do it if someone is willing to pay for it? In the future, things that are inconvenient for the Magnesium Army to come forward can be handed over to these security companies. North American military industry giants are also very welcome. After all, they are big customers, rich in money, and not top-secret equipment.
