With just a simple sentence, Zhou Ming cleared away the confusion of these people. Of course, it is impossible to dispel their doubts in their hearts, but at least it can stabilize the situation and allow everyone to advance and retreat together on the surface so that they will not cause any problems on the spot.

They came to the conference room of the airport hotel together. Bortasky had already decided, so that Zhou Ming and the others could start discussing the issue as soon as they came back. For this reason, he rented it for several days, which shows how anxious they were.

Everyone came to the conference room together, and everyone said nothing. You looked at me and I looked at you, which made the atmosphere look very dull. Zhou Ming had to ask first: Mr. Bortasky, I don’t know what the situation is like in Crisco now. Can you tell me in detail? You know that we don’t know very clearly in Siberia by phone.

As Zhou Ming spoke, everyone's eyes focused on this side. Bortasky smiled bitterly and said: There is nothing special, that is, Mr. Maita and his team were selling gold on the London Exchange, which caused difficulties in exporting gold by the Northern Russian government. They could only choose to sell it to the speculators supported by the Dota program. Many gold mines in the Ural Mountains were sold directly.

Before Bortasky finished speaking, Li Chengju interrupted, and his tone seemed very surprised: Mr. President even sold the mining rights of the gold mine, but didn’t the Northern Russian government just get 5 billion US dollars? How could he be so poor that he sold gold mines? That’s a gold mine, nothing else.

Although he had learned about the situation here by phone in Siberia, when he arrived in Krisco and heard Bortasky say it with his own ears, he was still very surprised.

Li Cheng was surprised, and Zhou Ming, who had memories of his previous life, was even more surprised. However, it was not because of the shorting of the gold price, because in his previous life, Maita forced the Northern Russian economy into a desperate situation through the gold price, which led to many things that happened later.

You should know that the current Northern and Russian finances rely on gold exports to live by, and even the salaries of officials in many countries are paid through this business. Once the gold price is shorted, it will inevitably cause a fatal blow to the Northern and Russian economy, forcing the Northern and Russian government to find another way out and choose to cooperate with speculators like Maita and export gold from their side, which gives them the opportunity to make huge profits.

Zhou Ming still remembers that there was nothing to be surprised about the re-enactment of history, but the problem is as Li Cheng said, in the past life, the newly born Northern Russian government had no money. Now the Northern Russian government has just received 5 billion US dollars, so why is it still so sensitive to the price of gold?

What Zhou Ming even more puzzled was that the financial situation of the Northern Russian government was so bad in the past life that it had not sold gold mines. He knew that he could not fish in the water, but in this life, their finances had improved, so why did they even do stupid things to kill chickens and retrieve eggs? This makes no sense.

Faced with Li Cheng's surprise, Bortasky and others looked at each other, and finally Ilbedov explained: I'm afraid that's because the Mlin also had to pay the severance and resettlement fees of senior Soviet officials.

This explanation made people realize that the disintegration of a superpower is not just about dispersing it into one country. It turns out that those high-ranking officials who hold heavy power must be properly placed, otherwise it will be easy to cause chaos.

If it was ten or twenty years later, this would not be a problem, but now the Soviet Union has only been disintegrated for two months, and those senior officials still have great influence in both the military and political circles of northern Russia. If they do not serve these people well, Nikolavic, the presidential position, is not stable.

Nikolavic had given him two years of preparation time in his previous life. Now, perhaps it was because he had lost these two years of preparation that would make him fall into such a passive situation.

Zhou Ming thought this in his heart, but this is not a big deal for Zhou Ming. He nodded and said in a relaxed tone: Mr. Bortasky, we all know this. Our President always has his ideas, but for us, on the other hand, we need to pay attention to it.

After hearing what Zhou Ming said, all the Northern Russians, including Bortasky and Irbedov, their faces changed, although they should have known this a long time ago.

Finally, Bortasky said: Indeed, the President is now discussing and signing an order to further liberalize the capital market and relax the conditions for foreign capital to enter the country.

The market should be liberalized to the maximum extent and everything should be left to the market for self-operation. Even if you know it will be severely impacted by hot money from foreign hot money, you must reduce government spending, cancel subsidies and open prices, and implement trade liberalization. Is this what the President of the Mlin said? Zhou Ming said, his tone was ridiculous and playful.

Compared to Zhou Ming's playfulness, the Northern Russians present looked bitter and revengeful, because the so-called shock therapy was the most direct impact they were.

A very simple example is that many people, including Ilbedov, have listed and traded their companies. In the past, they could use some means to manipulate the stock market, but now with the market being completely relaxed, foreign hot money has poured in, and their days of making money with their eyes closed in the stock market will be gone forever. Even foreign capital can force their company's controlling stake step by step through stocks, which is something they don't want to see.

Bortasky thought for a while and said: Although I don’t want to doubt you, I still want to say that the Dota project has opened the curtain of war. As long as the President signs that order, the war will truly enter a white-hot stage. At this time, please Mr. Zhou Ming, you must cheer up. If you are still so stubborn, it will be difficult for us to trust you again.

Bortasky's words were echoed by others. Ilbedov opened his mouth to help Zhou Ming defend something, but he still couldn't say it in the end.

I believe this is what you want to say most after waiting for me in the airport hotel for a few days.

Zhou Ming said that everyone nodded subconsciously, and Zhou Ming said again: So actually what I want to say is that I don’t need you to trust me

This sentence immediately shocked everyone. Everyone stared at Zhou Ming with wide eyes, not believing that Zhou Ming had said just now, but this sentence reached their ears clearly, like thunder, and they were all covered, and no one could speak at once.

Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you mean by saying this? Ilbedorf asked carefully.

It is literally because trust is worthless. I don’t know if you have ever heard of a saying that all the loyalty in this world is just because of the high bargaining chips of betrayal.

Zhou Ming paused at this point, and then continued: So I don’t want you to trust me, in fact, I am not worthy of your trust.

If you don’t trust Mr. Zhou Ming, then who should we trust? Ilbedolph asked.

Don’t trust anyone, just trust yourself, or trust your own judgment. Zhou Ming said.

If Zhou Ming didn't trust them before and just said something foolish, then Zhou Ming's words at this moment were confusing them.

Our judgments should we judge what Bortasky asked in a brainless manner.

You are the only judgment. Zhou Ming said, you can think about what my purpose was to come to Northern Russia. It was nothing more than making a big profit with the Dota Plan. However, the Dota Plan is the crystallization of the entire Western society. I alone will definitely not do it. So I need you to fight the top of Red Square with me. Now the Dota Plan takes the lead in attacking, so how could I admit defeat and retreat at this time?

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Bortasky and others nodded subconsciously. At this time, Zhou Ming said again: So here today, I can guarantee everyone that no matter how critical the situation is, I will definitely come up with a solution.

Indeed, Mr. Zhou Ming, you want to fight not for us, but for yourself. Ilbedov said with emotion that because Mr. Zhou Ming, your Chelf market has caused a lot of trouble to the Dota plan before. This time, with international capital entering, they will definitely not let you go, Mr. Zhou Ming, your Chelf market is definitely the first to be affected, and you must fight to defend your own interests.

With Zhou Ming's promise, with Ilbedov's feelings, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. This scene made Tong Gang and Li Cheng's smiles even more intense.

Here, they all saw the tricks Zhou Ming had just played. Just now, because the confidence of Bortasky and others was shaken, Zhou Ming did not directly say trust, because he knew very well that this would not have a big effect, so he did the opposite and told them not to trust. Then, through his purpose of coming to Northern Russia, he brought him and these Northern Russians to the same front line.

In this way, it is a big turn to go back to the starting point. But in fact, for a person, he will be more willing to believe in the judgment he analyzed than what you told him, and Zhou Ming guides them to make this judgment.

Although Zhou Ming is young, he is becoming more and more proficient in controlling people's hearts. In time, he really doesn't know what kind of monster he will become

Li Cheng and Tong Gang both looked at Zhou Ming and nodded with a smile, and expressed such feelings in their hearts, but their feelings were not only that: it is a great blessing to be able to know him now and become good friends with him, because only by following him may we break through the bottleneck that Chinese businessmen can never break through and walk into another circle that truly belongs to this world.
