Chapter 87 Because of interests
Villa No. 8 of the General Headquarters of the Blade Tower Project in Northern Russia is a large building. In addition to a very grand castle-style building in the center, there is also a very large yard at the back. In the morning,
After the sun rose above the horizon, the two most important people, Maita and Davide, were playing tennis on an open-air tennis court in the yard.
For these wealthy Westerners, physical fitness is a very important indicator. Therefore, unless they have something particularly important, they will definitely spare a certain amount of time for physical exercise, whether it is running, playing ball or something.
Not only do they think that only people with no ability or brains will work hard every day and exchange their lives for money; more importantly, they all understand the importance of physical fitness.
For example, in business negotiations, most people think that it is a competition between the information and negotiation skills of both parties. This concept is correct, but this concept is based on the premise that the levels of the negotiating parties are different. But who is truly at the pinnacle of life?
There is no one who doesn’t know how to work hard on information mastering and negotiation skills. Since everyone is similar in these two aspects, the final competition can only be the willpower of both parties.
How can a person with poor physical fitness gain an advantage in willpower? You must know that a major business negotiation is likely to last for several days or even half a month.
It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields. During this period, whoever fails to hold on first will easily lose the opportunity and be led away by others.
It is also the pursuit of physical fitness. Therefore, when we meet the real aristocrats in the West, whether they are royal nobles or wealthy conglomerates, most of them maintain good figures. This is the result of their daily exercise. Therefore, later generations often
The talk of being tall, rich and handsome is not groundless. At least in the upper-class circles of the West, unless the physical condition does not allow it, there are very few fat and handsome people.
On a forehand, Maita hit a very high-quality moon ball. The tennis ball flew over Davie's head and finally landed in the boundary.
Seeing this result, Davie stopped, took off the tennis cap on his head, and sighed to Maita on the other side: Mr. Maita is worthy of being a member of the original school tennis association, although he has been a member of the tennis association for more than thirty years now.
It has passed, but it seems that Mr. Matta is still young.
I think this is the result of your neglect of exercise. If you were able to get off the court and play a few shots without any trouble, I think it would be very difficult for me. After all, you are much younger than me.
Maita said to Davide, waving to Davide, and they walked off the court together. At this time, someone immediately came over to take their racket hats and gave them towels and drinks.
Davideye wiped his sweat and said: Mr. Matta is talking about the red soil in France. I think that only on that kind of soft surface can my age and physical advantages be brought into full play. If I rely solely on skills, God
, I think my only life is to run back and forth.
Maita smiled: That's not necessarily the case. How to turn one's advantages into victory is the most important thing. I think you are lacking a lot in this aspect. I think that Chinese Zhou Ming
, he has done quite well in this aspect, and even I admire him a little.
Sometimes I wonder, if the Dota project ends this time, should I use part of the money to compensate him and give him a chance to make a comeback? After all, I still have great expectations for his future. Mai
Tower said.
What Mr. Maita did was still so unexpected.
Davie said casually that he just regarded what Maita said just now as a joke. Although he also believed that Chinese Zhou Ming did have real abilities, that was all because of his conditions.
But since they started talking about this topic, they couldn't hold it back anymore. Then they sat on the chairs on the sidelines together and watched the servants busy on the court, maintaining the lawn.
While watching, Davide said: Mr. Matta, after you called Mr. Nikolaevich yesterday, he immediately stopped all transactions in the securities company, including some of our transactions in the securities company, and even our
Transactions on the black market have also been greatly affected by this.
Maita nodded and said: This is inevitable. There is an old saying in China that kills the enemy by one thousand and loses eight hundred. After all, our purpose is the same as theirs. The current practice of changing currency in North Russia is also disturbing.
It’s up to us. However, we have more resources and channels than they do, so our advantage is that we have more choices than they do when dealing with these situations.
Davie very much agreed with Maita's words. In fact, this was the reason why he looked down on Zhou Ming all the time. As the person in charge of the Dota Project, Davie had his own pride.
In addition to pride, the supporters behind the Dota Project are all top consortiums and governments in Europe and the United States. Correspondingly, these consortiums and countries will definitely provide them with corresponding resources and help, such as the simplest and most direct,
If they need to use the capital market to spend their old rubles, they don't need to wait for securities companies in North Russia to open, because capital markets around the world are available.
They can choose the nearest London exchange to buy Northern Russian government bonds, and then exchange these old rubles for new rubles through the British government.
This sounds very simple, but they only have a lot of Western resources at their disposal. If it were the Chinese, there would be no way out. How could those proud Anglo-Saxons help these Chinese?
Davie was relieved, but Maita was still worried. He put down the cup in his hand and asked Davie: But how is the situation at the Chelf Market now? I always have something very bad in my heart.
premonition.
Hearing Mr. Mata's worry, Davide suddenly remembered something and frowned. He replied to Mr. Mata: The situation at the Chelf Market is very strange, although Mr. Nikolaevitch had already seen it yesterday.
I went to the securities company in person to give the order, and the securities company had stopped all trading, but the Chelf market was still very prosperous.
Davider thought for a while and added: Compared with the previous peak transaction volume, it has declined, but it is still high in the tens of millions.
Maita was surprised: There is such a thing, this is too abnormal.
This is indeed abnormal, because the Chev market is one of the few places in Northern Russia that still supports the old ruble, and after they have used the channel to exchange large amounts of new rubles from the capital market, it stands to reason that they are not
It's time to find another way to close down business, but what's their situation now? Aren't they afraid that all the old rubles they received will be thrown into their hands? Are they really coming to Northern Russia to do charity?
If not, it means they must have other ideas
As if to prove their judgment, as soon as they finished speaking, William hurriedly ran into the stadium. He didn't care that the servants had just maintained the lawn of the stadium, and stepped directly over.
Go to Maita and Davide and report to Maita: News has just arrived from the London Stock Exchange. They asked Mr. Maita whether you have made a large transaction in old rubles.
I am indeed planning to do a large transaction in old rubles, but I have not done so yet.
Maita said that he and Davide looked at each other, and their hearts trembled at the same time, and they had a very bad premonition. Then Maita immediately asked: William, what else did the London Stock Exchange say? Why?
Will ask this suddenly
Because a huge amount of funds entered the pound market this morning. Since the opening of the exchange, the exchange rate of the pound against the old ruble has continued to rise. Later, this fund was exchanged for US dollars and German marks, resulting in a decline in the entire London foreign exchange market.
The fluctuation was very strong. They thought it was affected by the Dota Project, so they called to inquire. William replied.
Chinese, could this be done by Zhou Ming and those Chinese? This was Davie's first reaction.
Maita was not in a hurry to draw any conclusions. He still asked William: The London Stock Exchange is a market with a sound system. There is a strong anti-speculation mechanism there, and no one will allow any large amounts of money to manipulate the market.
Behavior, if this kind of market fluctuation occurs, they will definitely trace the source of the funds that caused the fluctuation. Is there any result?
William nodded and said: It turned out that it came from Northern Russia, using an account of United Bank and Securities Company on the London Stock Exchange.
What do you mean by the account of Bei Russian Securities Company on the London Stock Exchange? How is this possible? Wasn't Bei Russian Securities Company forcibly closed down yesterday?
Davie immediately asked in surprise. Although Maita did not speak, he also showed a very confused expression. He did not understand what was going on.
William said: The London Stock Exchange said this was a trading procedure that had been set up long ago.
Hearing this answer, Maita was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: It seems that the Chinese have been prepared for it.
Davide on the other side thought about it carefully before reacting and said: Did those Chinese take advantage of such a loophole? They are simply shameful scoundrels.
On the contrary, William, who came to deliver the news, had some hindsight: Why did the Chinese take advantage of the transaction priority setting to kidnap the United Bank and Securities Company of Northern Russia to help them exchange foreign currency and new rubles? But isn't this a violation of the president?
How dare they help the Chinese with this order? Aren't they afraid of offending their president?
Because of interests. Davie revealed the fundamental core in one sentence. The person in charge of the securities company is a North Russian businessman named Ilbedov, and United Bank is also his industry. If he helped Zhou Ming do this,
A transaction, so a large amount of money coming in and out of his bank can help him create great benefits, and I believe there must be other interest agreements between them.
But in the end, Davide was also confused. He said uncertainly: It's just that I'm curious. Now that the old rubles have obviously been spent, why is the Chelf market still so prosperous? Are those Chinese people so naive?
Do you think we can’t notice?
