When Assaf saw this, he felt dissatisfied and immediately asked: "Why is this happening? You are discriminating!"

But the salesman didn't buy it at all. He took out today's newspaper with an impatient expression, threw it in front of Assaf, and took the opportunity to curse: "What are you talking about? The reason why the price of rice has risen so high is...

It’s not because you traitors sold all the rice to foreigners that the domestic rice shortage resulted! What qualifications do you have to object to the high price of rice!”

After hearing this, Assaf picked up the newspaper and quickly opened it. Sure enough, the headline on the front page of the newspaper was that President Sharif personally issued an announcement, informing the citizens that a new exchange rate between the island currency and the US dollar would be implemented soon, and also

The reasons for implementing this new monetary policy are explained in the article.

"In view of the fact that a certain consortium in country m has maliciously raised prices to purchase grain from the island country recently. Its intention is not to make our farmers make money, but to push our island country citizens to the end of the rope. Therefore, the island country government decided, and I signed

The document on the new exchange rate between the island nation’s currency and the U.S. dollar will be implemented today to combat the evil intentions of a certain consortium in country m.”

At the beginning, Sharif's words were concise and clear.

Assaf looked at the newspaper, his hands shook, and he almost missed the newspaper. He did not expect that the rice selling incident would have such a big impact. He was shocked and continued to read quickly.

"After the consortium of country M purchased the food from the island country, it did not use it for people's livelihood, but deliberately hoarded the food. They stored the food in warehouses or shipped it out of the island country. They used this trick to use the food as a source of income.

Weapons are used to threaten the governments of island countries and satisfy their selfish desires. They also show that if the governments of island countries do not give in, they will starve to death the citizens of our island countries.

Our government has taken measures to negotiate with the consortium, but because the island government was unwilling to exchange the interests of people's livelihood, the two sides were unable to reach a consensus in the end. The government also tried to prevent people from selling rice, and even warned the people to leave enough food.

For their own use. However, it is a pity that many short-sighted people have been deceived by the tricks of these consortiums and have sold their own grains at very high US dollars.

The occurrence of this situation has led to a serious decline in domestic grain reserves. Today, the island country's domestic grain reserves can only supply the country for two to three months. This means that in less than three months, in order to fill our stomachs, we

The government needs to spend more than ten times the price to import food from abroad!

To solve this dilemma, we must take effective measures to prevent this disaster from happening. The government is absolutely unwilling to take measures to increase citizens' taxes and fees to solve this problem, because this means that people's lives will be plunged into dire straits.

Therefore, in order to fight against the M-country consortium's wanton trampling on the island country and the kidnapping of the government by the island country's citizens, the island country decided to implement an emergency currency tightening plan. From now on, a new exchange system will be implemented between the island country's currency and the US dollar.

In order to prevent the M-country consortium from repeating its old tricks by using other currencies, the government has decided that the exchange rate between the island country's currency and other currencies will remain unchanged for the time being, but it will remain in a wait-and-see state and retain the possibility of adjustment."

After reading the entire announcement, Assaf panicked. He said to himself in disbelief: "How is this possible? Aren't U.S. dollars one of the strongest currencies in the world? In fact, we can use U.S. dollars for foreign exchange.

Buy food abroad!"

Assaf couldn't help but feel calm. In order to earn U.S. dollars, he even used his own island country's currency to buy grain from other countries and then sold it to grain buyers in country M.

This time, his losses were very heavy.

At least, the wealth Asaf accumulated from selling food has shrunk by at least one-half, which is completely outweighing the gain.

The presidential palace of the island nation.

A master's degree in economics made a suggestion and said: "We can encourage the citizens to deposit the US dollars they earn in the bank, and our government will use US dollars to purchase food internationally."

"We have thought about this method for a long time. However, international food prices fluctuate. Coupled with the bad relations between South India and our country, food imports have stagnated. In addition, the Australian government has also implemented a food restriction policy against us.

So the situation is already very serious, and the import route is not feasible." Sharif said while thinking and shaking his head. +

"However, forcibly devaluing the U.S. dollar may arouse the dissatisfaction of the government of country m, which will bring the two countries into a head-on confrontation and will also be very detrimental to our island country." The staff worried.

"This series of combined punches by the M-country consortium is by no means that simple. If it had not been tacitly approved or even promoted by the M-country government behind the scenes, would the M-country consortium have made such a high-profile move? They are just a group with private interests.

, one never dares to rashly make a deal with a country

The family is openly confronting each other. So, if there is no driving force behind it, I don’t believe it anyway.” After being trained by the personal training center, Sharif is no longer an ordinary village chief who knows nothing.

He became a qualified president of the country who was good at strategizing.

"However, doing this will not be conducive to the development of our country's foreign trade. Even the development of tourism will inevitably be a great obstacle." Economic experts said.

Sharif looked at the economic expert strangely and asked: "Why do we develop tourism?"

"In order to develop the economy." The economic expert replied.

"What is the purpose of economic development?" Sharif continued to ask.

"Make the country rich and the people rich." Economic experts replied affirmatively.

"Then tell me, my people are already facing a situation of starvation and their stomachs are not full. Can I still take care of tourism? Do my people still care about this?" Sharif asked back.

road.

This sharp rhetorical question immediately left economic experts speechless and unable to respond.

Sharif looked at his economic experts and felt that what he said was a bit serious. He smiled and eased the atmosphere and said: "What you said makes sense. However, the monetary policy adopted this time is mainly aimed at

It’s just the U.S. dollar. Even if it has an impact, it’s just an exchange between the island country and country m. It’s not a big deal. In fact, when things get to this point, even if we don’t take measures to fight against it, country m won’t let go, so we can’t

If you stop looking forward and backward, you will sit back and wait for death."

The island country is indeed forced to implement such a policy. Otherwise, they will not be able to stop the people's crazily selling food. If all the private food is sold out and food prices soar, what awaits the island country government may be social unrest.

.This is extremely detrimental to the island country.

Of course, the reason why the Sharif government dares to take such tough countermeasures is because it has the support of food support provided by Du Le. Moreover, in terms of government finance, top technology companies also provide financial support.

At the same time, representatives of the two major financial groups of country m, the Rockefeller Group and the Douglas Group, were sitting in a reception room of the embassy of country m. They were drinking coffee and chatting.

"The island country's government is really tough, and they still refuse to give in." Wyden, the representative of the Rockefeller Foundation, said with a leisurely smile while picking up a cup of coffee.

"There is nothing to be afraid of for such a small country. Their government is implementing a monetary tightening policy at this time. It is just a dead chicken to make ends meet. If you don't look back until you reach the southern wall, there is no use in trying to support it. We will just wait and see what happens."

"The person who replied was Larry, the representative of the Douglas Consortium. He crossed his legs and responded with a smile as if he was confident.

"However, can this method really affect Top Technology? I have received inside information. Top Technology is conducting internal research. Although the content of their research is highly confidential, according to the information I have obtained, their research is related to the 'battle

'It's related to the intelligent system." Weeden said leisurely with a bit of confusion and regret.

"This shows that without oppression, top technology will not develop more technologies. Our strategy is not wrong," Larry said.

In fact, both Wieden and Larry know that this economic battle is not only a battle in which the m-country consortium attempts to carve up the island country's economy and force the top technology to surrender, but also a battle to determine whether they can rise again.

In the last negotiation, the actions of Wieden and Larry caused the two consortiums to suffer great loss of profits. Although they were lucky enough to not be withdrawn in the end, their status in the consortium has dropped a lot. This even

As a result, they became the talking points of insiders.

Otherwise, the ambassador of Country M's embassy would not have left them alone for an hour without seeing them. Therefore, the two of them have been looking for opportunities to deal with the island country and top technology in order to restore their reputation and status.

Not long after, a counselor from the embassy finally came over and said to Wieden and Larry: "The embassy has an urgent meeting. The ambassador doesn't have time to see you. Please go back."

Wyden suddenly became angry, stood up and cursed: "Why doesn't the ambassador see us? Could it be that he is not the ambassador of country m, or we are not citizens of country m!"

Although Larry didn't get angry, he was very angry in his heart and his face was very ugly. He said coldly: "What kind of meeting does the ambassador have to hold? It's so urgent that we can't even see each other. Is it more important than what we have with you?"

An island nation’s economic war?”

The counselor of the embassy of country m only needs to be responsible for the embassy. He looked confident and domineering towards the two people, but he was not moved at all. He still maintained a polite but cold face and asked the two to leave as soon as possible. In fact, at this time

The embassy does have an important meeting taking place and cannot be disturbed. I am not deliberately making excuses to perfuse them.

Therefore, the counselor who was responsible for delivering the message turned around and left without saying anything more, leaving Wieden and Larry behind.

Wieden and Larry looked at each other in confusion as the counselor left. They couldn't figure out what happened. The embassy staff ignored them so much.

This made both Verdon and Larry feel panicked and completely devoid of confidence.

The purpose of their visit to the embassy was to ask the embassy to come forward and, on behalf of country m, lodge a serious protest against the island country's government's monetary policy, in order to combat the island country's government's move to adjust the currency exchange rate.

The island country's policy of adjusting currency exchange is actually an administrative method, not a market method. The global economy has always been developed on the basis of free market regulation, not to mention that the current situation has directly damaged country m's

interests, so they have reason to believe that the government of country m will not allow such government intervention by the island country to disrupt the order of the international currency market.

However, Wieden and Larry failed to realize a very important point.

That is, the monetary policy of island countries does not have a great impact on the international community.

Moreover, because the island country is small, the countries affected are not large, and it is not even enough to affect the status of the US dollar in the currency markets of Southeast Asian countries.

Anyone can see that the goal of the island country's monetary policy is actually very clear. That is to fight against the M-country consortium and curb them from making trouble in the island country's domestic food market.

The import and export trade volume between country m and the island country is almost non-existent.

If the US dollar depreciates, tourists from country M may not travel to island countries.

Therefore, in the eyes of the government of country m, this actually only belongs to the internal affairs of the island, and they do not need to intervene in a big way for the sake of two large consortiums.

Of course, there is another secondary reason, which is that country m is now in big trouble.

Seeing the embassy counselor leave, Wieden and Larry looked at each other. They lowered their heads and began to think about how they should face the resistance of the island government next.

Wieden and Larry did not realize this because they only focused on interests and were short-sighted.

"How much money do you have left?" Wyden asked.

"I still have $300 million," Larry replied.

"Well, I still have more than 200 million, and the funds are enough. As I see it, let's just cooperate on our own and continue to collect grain. We don't have to rely on others. It depends on others. This time, we are going to do something big, not just for rice.

The market, as long as it's food. Let's raise them all, what do you think?" Wieden suggested. Ambitious, he planned to speed up the pace and force the island government to submit as soon as possible.

Of course, Wieden also hopes that other international speculators can join this battle. After all, it is still difficult for the two consortiums to deal with the island government supported by top technology.

"Okay, but what about the embassy?" Larry showed some scruples. Of course he didn't want to offend the embassy. In addition, he always felt that if the embassy could come forward, not only would they not be so difficult, maybe they would be able to do so in the future.

When the conflict between the two sides intensifies, their consortium can have the embassy as a backing, and can hide behind it and only make profits without being harmed, without having to bear the brunt.

"As long as the government of the island country can bow its head, the bureaucrats in the embassy will definitely help us solve the remaining problems. The government always has deeper intentions, but these cunning and cunning people probably want to take advantage of the fishermen." I saw the embassy today.

Posture. Larry felt a little more resentful towards the embassy.
