Chapter 78 Nonsense
Every country has a synonym for a center of power, such as the White House in the United States, No. 10 Downing Street in the United Kingdom, the Elysee Palace and Zhongnanhai in France, etc. Some are very famous and have high appearance rates, while others are relatively less well-known. In Northern Russia
Here, his center of power is the Murin Palace known to the world.
Mlin Palace is located on the hill in the center of Krisko, the capital of Northern Russia. It is one of the best-preserved palace complexes in the world. It is also the place where royal families have been crowned and held adult ceremonies for hundreds of years. Now it is also the place where leaders
This is the place where we work and live. Even when the news network mentions North Russia policy, it will use the name of Mlin Palace. This shows the great influence here.
A very ordinary Volga car drove slowly through the Red Square and entered the Murin Palace, which symbolizes power. Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong were just sitting in the car.
In the car, Karelina consciously took on the responsibility of a tour guide and introduced to Zhou Ming and others: In fact, the Murin Palace also has a very close relationship with China. It was the most powerful Mongolia hundreds of years ago.
During the empire's expedition to Europe, the army arrived at Crisco and saw the Mlín Palace, so they called it a fortress that was difficult to attack. Therefore, the Mlín Palace still means the inner city and the fortress.
No one can tell whether the legends from hundreds of years ago are true or false, but as the granddaughter of a former high-ranking Soviet official, Karelina's information is naturally much more accurate than others.
Like Zhongnanhai, the Murin Palace also has its own majesty and rules. Zhou Ming and his Volga can only drive to the entrance tower, and then they must get off the car and transfer to the vehicle designated by the Murin Palace to reach where they want to go.
place. In the final analysis, this is for the safety of the head of state, although if there is someone with ulterior motives and a powerful bomb, the entire Mlin Palace can be blown up into the sky.
After verifying their identities, Zhou Ming and the others were taken to a building with a medieval Byzantine classical charm. According to Karelina's introduction, this was the office and resting place for senior officials of the former Soviet Union.
The real center of power.
Mr. Zhou Ming, Mr. Li Cheng, Mr. Tong Gang, and Mr. President are already waiting for you in the conference room. Please follow me up.
A secretary was waiting for Zhou Ming and others at the door. After seeing them, he told them this and then took them upstairs. Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong just followed him in and passed through a long corridor.
At the door of a conference room, they were told that Mr. President was having a meeting inside. Zhou Ming nodded and opened the door and walked in. The situation inside made them nervous.
Of course, this tension does not mean that there is an ambush of special forces in the conference room, and when they walk in, they will be shot with machine guns and beaten into briquettes to eliminate these criminals who invaded the North Russian economy, but that the room is filled with people from the Republic of North Russia.
of senior officials.
There is a long table in the conference room, with North Russian President Nikolaevich sitting directly above it, and others sitting on both sides. After Zhou Ming and the others came to North Russia, they had a certain understanding of the power structure here.
Understand, know that these are the senior officials of the current North Russian government. Basically all the senior government officials with real power, including the Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior, are here. But even if they don’t know, just look at the Director of the Presidential Office who they have met.
Siyadu could only sit at the bottom, and the identities of the other people who could sit in front of him were obvious.
Judging from the identities of these people, the importance of today's meeting can be imagined. So in such a meeting attended by so many government officials, how could they not be nervous when a group of outsiders came over?
Fortunately, Zhou Ming had been in Zhongnanhai before and had antibodies to such a situation, so he was the first to recover. He said to Nikolaevich: Hello, Mr. President and gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you.
, I was invited to attend this meeting by Zhou Ming. These two are Mr. Tong Gang, chairman of Gangcheng Shipping Group, a famous businessman in Hong Kong City, and Mr. Li Cheng, chairman of Changhe Industrial. I am very happy to meet you all.
With Zhou Ming's opening, Tong Gang and Li Chenggong were no longer nervous, and they both greeted the senior North Russian officials attending the meeting with ease.
Nikolaevitch nodded, and then said to everyone: I have introduced Mr. Zhou Ming to everyone just now. Today I invite Mr. Zhou Ming to come over to discuss the new ruble.
When Nikolaevitch said this, everyone immediately cast a surprised look at Zhou Ming, even though they had known for a long time that Nikolaevich would invite an outsider to attend the discussion about the issuance of new rubles today.
At the meeting, they also knew that this man was a young Chinese, and he was extremely rich in the old ruble. But knowing and seeing with their own eyes were always two different things, so they were immediately surprised.
If Zhou Ming were a Chinese-American, or an economics professor from Hong Kong, or at worst a businessman in his fifties or sixties, this would be easier to accept, but Zhou Ming is now a
For young people in mainland China, this is really hard to convince.
Since Zhou Ming was invited by President Nikolaevich, and it is an indisputable fact that Zhou Ming has the ruble, although these senior North Russian officials did not show anything on the surface, they still unconsciously showed it in their eyes.
A suspicious look.
Facing these looks, Zhou Ming didn't care, because to him, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not really serving you as a consultant to help you solve your economic problems. I want it.
Just make money, that's all.
Then Nikolaevitch asked Zhou Ming to sit down. The legendary president of North Russia said to Zhou Ming: Mr. Zhou Ming, I believe you already know the content of the meeting here today, and you are also a very smart Chinese businessman.
Then I won’t do too many repetitions.
After some polite remarks, Nikolaevich went straight to the point and said: Mr. Zhou Ming, you know the current economic situation in Northern Russia. Since the opening of the capital market, the exchange rate of the ruble has been in a straight line. And with the depreciation of the ruble,
It also brought a series of troubles to the domestic economy. Therefore, in order to save the North Russian economy, we decided to abolish the old ruble and issue a new ruble. I wonder if Mr. Zhou Ming has any opinions.
This is the economic policy of your North Russia. I have no objection and I also support the issuance of new rubles. Zhou Ming said.
Regarding the answer given by Zhou Ming, the senior North Russian officials present could not help but shake their heads slightly. Originally, when Nikolaevich asked Zhou Ming, these officials all expressed their disapproval of the Chinese who was specially invited by the President.
I had high expectations. No matter where he comes from or how old he is, his behavior of using the sales of daily necessities to control the ruble is still very surprising, so everyone wants to hear his high opinions, but who knows that he just gave such a nonsense
General answer.
At that time, someone yelled in his heart: You damn bastard, are all these Chinese people just flattering? I want you to come here to give your opinions, not to follow you.
Even Nikolaevich frowned in displeasure, because Zhou Ming's support was not the answer he wanted.
Because the abolition of the old ruble and the issuance of new rubles is not a simple policy change. It involves all aspects of economic issues. If not handled properly, it is likely to cause a national economic collapse. This is not what any government wants.
I hope to see it, so we must handle it carefully and carefully. I don’t think the currency replacement after the founding of New China would have lasted for several years to be completed.
The situation in North Russia is the same now. Although the old ruble system is no longer working and the national economy is in poor condition, it has not reached the point of complete chaos and reshuffling. Nikolaevich also hopes that the new ruble will be issued.
Be able to go through it smoothly.
It was for this reason that he invited Zhou Ming over, just to hear Zhou Ming's opinion, but who knew that Zhou Ming would throw out such words of support.
Nikolaevitch thought for a while and said: It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is also very unfavorable about the old ruble, but Mr. Zhou Ming also saw that the old ruble has depreciated due to rising prices, economic problems and other reasons.
It's very serious. Since we are going to issue new rubles, we must reverse this situation. So I wonder what Mr. Zhou Ming thinks of the exchange rate of the new rubles.
Zhou Ming said, "Exchange rate. In fact, the exchange rate is the value of a currency. The exchange rate is due to the comparison of different values between various currencies."
To put it simply, under the past gold standard system, gold was the most basic and universal currency. Then the currency units of two countries that implemented the gold standard system could determine the price comparison between them based on their respective gold contents. This is the exchange rate.
.
Zhou Ming paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: Of course, that was the practice of metal currency in the past. Now it is all paper currency, but the actual situation is still the same. Countries issue paper currency as a representative of metal currency. Refer to the past
The practice is to stipulate the gold content of paper currency by law, and this gold content is the exchange rate. However, compared with the past practice, the paper currency is much virtual, and the exchange rate is not so stable.
Especially in the market environment, the exchange rate will change with changes in economic development, bank interest rates, and political changes in the country, so the exchange rate must be determined carefully.
Zhou Ming continued: Because the value of currency is to a large extent a reflection of a country’s economic strength, if the exchange rate is set high and the country does not have such strong economic strength, it will cause the exchange rate to collapse in the future; on the contrary, the exchange rate is set high.
The same is true if it is lower, it will cause a cheap loss of the country's resources, and there will be many more troublesome things.
