Chapter 72 The most important thing is money
David Ye, this Zhou Ming is such an asshole and has no manners at all. I think we should really find an organization to teach this rude and rude Chinese a lesson so that he understands what proper etiquette is.
When William returned to Villa No. 8, he walked directly into Davie's study and cursed, looking extremely annoyed, but that was all he said, because this time Davie just stood in the study.
Looking at him at the desk, he surprisingly did not criticize him for the first time. This made William feel strange. He asked: David, what's wrong with you?
Before Davide could speak, another familiar voice reached his ears: I didn't expect you, William, to still be so ignorant of the rules. I really don't understand how you have the nerve to say that Chinese is rude.
This sound startled William, and then he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a bald middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting on the sofa in the study. When William looked over,
He was also smiling at William.
Seeing this man, William suddenly became stunned, moved his trembling lips and murmured: Mr. Matta, why are you here?
This middle-aged man was Mr. Meta, the commander-in-chief of the entire Twenty Trillion Blade Tower Project. He waved to William to stop being in a daze and sit down. Of course, he also asked Davide to sit over. William sat down beside him in a daze.
Maita patted him on the shoulder and said: Little William didn't expect you to be here for so long and still look so clueless. If you go back to the United States, your father won't scold me to death.
William would still refute Davide's teachings, but when faced with Mr. Matta's tepid words, he just lowered his head silently to express remorse.
Maita did not pursue William's polite behavior, but just nodded and gently guided him away. He then gave them an unexpected answer: I have always been here, and I have never been in the United States.
Mr. Matta, have you been in Crisco? Then why didn't you come to Villa No. 8? William asked in surprise.
Because I am not here 24 hours a day, I have other things to do here, Maita said, I think you all should know that in the past period, the Soviet Union has been relying on gold exports to maintain its domestic economy.
I guess I had ruble support, so I went to London to do them a little favor.
It was a very light word, but it sounded unusual to William's ears. He suddenly remembered that just one month before the Dota project started, the price of gold in London suddenly plummeted. At that time, William thought it was just an accidental speculation, but
Now it seems that this is not the case, but Mr. Meta's final preparations for the Dota Project.
The reason is just like what Mr. Meta said, the Soviet Union's economy was on the verge of collapse, and it was relying on the last bit of gold exports to hold it up. Now Mr. Meta suddenly comes and sends the Soviet economy into collapse.
to the grave.
Then Davide came over with three cups of tea, one for each person. Maita picked up the tea cup and took a sip first, and then said: This tea is originally a specialty of China. It is said that two hundred years ago in Europe, only the nobles were the most popular tea.
It is a special drink that can only be seen at banquets, but it is very common now, because many countries in Africa and India know how to grow tea, so it is not a special tribute. But the taste of tea and the unique tea of the East
Culture can give him great meaning, allowing him to conquer the world.
At this point, Maita put down the tea cup and asked: Do you understand what I mean?
William shook his head blankly, but Davide thought for a moment and tentatively replied: Mr. Maita, do you mean that Chinese guy also knows finance very well?
Maita nodded and said: Yes, financial capital has a long history in the land of Europe, and it also has a very rich historical accumulation. We are proud of the world in this regard, but it does not mean that Easterners will never learn.
Mr. Maita, it seems that you have a very high opinion of that Chinese man. William said.
Because he is fully worthy of this evaluation, Maita said and waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, little William, why did you come in in such a hurry?"
Hearing Matta's question, William suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered the reason why he came, so he immediately said to Matta: Mr. Matta is like this, didn't you invite that Chinese to come to Villa No. 8? I just went to find him.
He conveyed your intention, but he actually rejected your proposal and said that if he wanted to meet you, he could only meet at the No. 1 hotel where he stayed.
At the end of the sentence, William curled his lips: This coward, he must not dare to come here because he is afraid that we will be unfavorable to him.
Maita nodded disapprovingly: it was reasonable for him to do so. After all, he was in Crisco now, but he took the initiative.
Matta's words shocked Davide and William. William pulled his hair and said with a completely unacceptable expression like constipation: Mr. Matta, you think too highly of that Chinese.
It’s not that I think highly of it, but that’s the fact. Maita sighed and said, what do you think is the most important thing in a country’s economic system?
Davide and William were just silent and did not answer. Of course, Meta did not need them to answer. He then gave the answer: It is currency. Currency is the foundation of the entire country's economy. If the currency is lost, then the country will not be able to answer.
There is no economy at all.
Maita's introduction to currency only ends here, because there is no need to introduce it in detail. Currency is simply money. Even an ordinary person understands that whether it is trading, borrowing money, or going out for a meal, everything is money.
You must have money. Money is an indispensable part of people's lives. If money suddenly disappears, it will definitely cause a very severe panic in a country.
Maita just paused and then continued: The ruble is the currency of Northern Russia, but now the sales of daily necessities are slowly concentrated in the hands of Zhou Ming. This is really our negligence.
Mr. Maita, I don’t understand whether this daily necessities really have such great power. It is actually able to gather the currency of an entire country. This is incredible. William said with emotion.
This situation is of course impossible under normal circumstances, but now Northern Russia is just suitable for these daily necessities to play a role. Maita said that first of all, the industrial configuration here is very abnormal, and all resources are put on heavy industry. As a result,
These daily necessities are extremely scarce. In addition, the ruble exchange rate is just at a time when there is a big change. This result is very normal.
As he spoke, Maita picked up his teacup again and said: Look, just a teacup like this, a few months ago, would have only cost ten to twenty rubles at most. Even a better cup would probably not cost as much.
More than one hundred rubles, but now, if you go to the market and see, which cup is not just sold for seven or eight hundred rubles, there are better cups that cost thousands or tens of thousands of rubles.
I don’t understand Mr. Maita, William asked doubtfully, but shouldn’t this be caused by currency devaluation? In fact, the value of this cup has not increased, has it?
This time it was not Matta who answered him, but Davide: William, you are such a fool, haven't you understood what Mr. Matta meant? What he said was not about the value of the cup at all, but only about the ruble itself, because what the Chinese said
What is needed is not how much money can be earned from these daily necessities, but the need to gather more rubles into one's hands.
Of course William was not a real fool, he just didn't turn his head around this corner for a while. Now that he heard what Davide said, he suddenly realized.
Yes, if we look at value alone, Zhou Ming did not make much money from his daily necessities business. He might even make a small loss because his pricing matched the current ruble exchange rate. But as far as the ruble itself is concerned, he succeeded.
.
The reason is very simple. The current decline in the ruble exchange rate is not caused by the North Russian government's excessive issuance of currency. In other words, the currency circulating in the North Russian market still only has the original quota.
But at the same time, the price of daily necessities has increased a hundred times, and these daily necessities are still the most lacking things in North Russia. Millions of Criscos are rushing to buy them together. Even if each person only sells the most ordinary cup, it is hundreds of millions.
rubles, but how could so many people buy just one cup? As a result, a large number of rubles were concentrated in Zhou Ming's hands through the daily necessities trade.
What would happen when most of a country's currency is concentrated in one person? Maita suddenly asked.
Faced with Mr. Maita's question, neither Davide nor William answered, because this question does not need to be answered at all. The answer is unquestionable. Even the most ordinary people understand that money has great magic power. Otherwise, why would the bank
It will be a very important institution for a country. No matter which country, no matter how bad the economy is, they must find a way to keep the bank, because once there is a problem with the bank, the entire country will face a disaster, and countless economic crises will basically
It starts from the bank, and the bank is the place where the most money is stored in the country.
Controlling money is tantamount to controlling the lifeblood of a country. Unless the authorities of this country are determined to mess up the entire country, they must unite with the people or families who control the money.
Both Davide and William are Americans. They both know very well that a certain financial family in the United States became the number one financial family in the United States because they controlled the Federal Reserve. Even the president has to give him a lot of face. Because
Once the people who control the money are unhappy, whether they sell the currency or transfer the currency, it will cause financial turmoil in a country, unless the country's authorities are determined to bring chaos to the entire country.
Damn it, you actually let that hateful Chinese take advantage of this loophole. William cursed, and then asked, Mr. Matta, is there really nothing we can do?
Maita shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: In this regard, he is already ahead of us. The Chinese named Zhou Ming is really a genius. He can think of this method. Now that he has this trump card, we can only find him.
We talked about it, but there is no other way.
