In the not-too-distant future, a war without gunpowder will quietly begin in the global financial market.
Faced with the rapid rise of the emerging power "Eastern Kingdom" in the fields of technology and manufacturing, the established power "Western Kingdom" launched a top-secret project codenamed "Alchemy". Allen Krause, a genius trader on Wall Street, was secretly recruited. His mission was not to short a stock, but to short a country's industrial future - to destroy the high-end manufacturing industry chain that East China relied on for its survival by manipulating the gold and silver markets. Is this financial warfare or another purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes?
At the same time, Dongguo Financial analyst Lin Jing smelled a crisis from a series of abnormal data. She discovered that international capital was quietly pouring into the precious metals market, and a precise attack on the country's industrial system was brewing. Faced with this unprecedented financial secret war, she must race against time, build a line of defense in the capital market, and find a way out for the "Eastern Pricing Power".
This is a battle of wisdom and will. When gold and silver are no longer symbols of wealth, but sharp blades piercing the lifeblood of the economy, every confrontation between the two sides in the capital market affects the global landscape. The duel between traders and analysts, the collision between financial hegemony and industrial security. In this game that determines the destiny of the country, who can hold the scepter that determines the future.
Is this the West's preparation for the post-dollar era or does it have another purpose?
