Chapter 117: Devout Prayer and Kindness
The Turkish population is extremely powerful.
With Acting President Leminda Edal Erguiluan speaking in public for two consecutive days, the central bank amassed more than $300 million in gold and foreign currency, leaving the central bank's coffers unstable.
There are Deutsche marks, US dollars, francs, Italian lira, and even the Japanese yen, as well as currencies of other countries.
Gold and jewelry, on the other hand, are piled up in the central bank's vaults, shining like a hill.
Because, this is war.
A war of foreign invasion.
The Great Turks, having taken out the honor of the Ottoman Empire and the faith of the Great Turkic Empire, exchanged their gold and foreign currency for the Turkish lira with the most sincere faith.
Workers, peasants, coachmen, dock workers, and even the women of the state-run brothels dug out the foreign currency from under their pillows to add strength to the defense of their country.
People across the country are bent on buying, and the price of the lira has rebounded violently for two consecutive days.
Everyone is convinced that Turkey will win!
Because, they have God.
But when people are desperate, who should God ask when they are desperate?
Day 3.
The lira's rebound suddenly faltered, as if it had encountered irresistible huge selling pressure, from 160,000 lira to 200,000 in one day.
Like a demon raising a sickle in his hand, although there are still many Turkish people buying the lira, the price of the lira has never rebounded, and in just one week, it has fallen to the exchange rate of 280,000, becoming the most worthless currency in the world.
Province of Erzurum.
A thirteen-year-old girl, under the desperate eyes of her mother, followed a man in his fifties away.
Two days later, she appeared at a night market in Istanbul and was bought for 500 million lira.
A boy of seven or eight years old, like a wild beast, walked along the dirt and finally looked at the sky blankly.
A woman in her forties, alone with her baby in her arms, knelt on the ground and prayed to the sky, but the only thing that answered her was the snow and the biting chill.
January 1 is the New Year in Turkey.
But no one would have thought that since the beginning of the new year, more than thousands of people have been frozen to death and starved to death in the cold winter night.
At this time, Kadir Emin Lynn's son, Bajir in sunglasses and an expensive suit, stepped into Istanbul's expanding night market.
It is more accurate to say that it is a night market, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a population market.
Because human trafficking is illegal, many families have to sell their daughters to save their children and their families.
As a result, the night market has become an illegal market that everyone knows, but there is no legal constraint.
After shopping around with two bodyguards for a long time, Bajir fell in love with a mother and daughter, the mother looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the child was twelve or thirteen years old, but the outline of a beautiful embryo had already emerged.
A billion lira.
Compared to the average price of 100 million to 300 million lira per person, the asking price of the mother and daughter is nearly twice as high.
But Baguil was very generous, and not long ago, he borrowed 30 million US dollars from the bank, and now, the borrowed money can be exchanged for at least hundreds of billions of lira.
A billion, not yet a drizzle.
"Hi. Man, it's a billion, and now, they're mine. β
Let the entourage count billions of lira, Bagil's hand has already touched the mother and daughter's body, his eyes are shining silver, and he can't wait to check the quality of the goods.
The government's newly printed denomination of one million lira, extremely brightly colored, the man got the money, looked at his wife and daughter sadly, and prepared to leave.
Just then, a guy with an eastern face suddenly popped up: "Hey, buddy. I'll give you two billion. β
With a big back, a Cuban cigar in his mouth, a smooth and supple suit fabric, which is worth a lot of money at first glance, and a luminous watch on his wrist, the whole person looks personable but imposing.
Who is it if not William?
Harm!
William was also depressed.
I originally bought back a pair of twin mothers and daughters, and I was going to raise them for two days to do some good deeds, give them some essence, and let them restore their former glory.
Who knows, Shen Zhi, who has a big mouth, told Shen Jiannan about it.
For his boss, the scum and the devil, William didn't know what he thought in his heart, so he had to leave the person for the time being to observe the reaction, and come out by the way to see if he could do some good deeds.
I had good luck in the evening, and as soon as I came out, I met this pair of superb ...... No, poor mother and daughter.
As a man, William could not see weak women suffering and starving.
I just wanted to help the poor mother and daughter.
But before he could speak, there was a bastard who wanted to take the lead.
How can it be good to be a good person.
Bagill dressed up as an upstart, and William was ready to rob people directly.
More than money?
The company has lost 100 million US dollars, and it has been exchanged for 2 trillion yuan, and the boss has not said anything, who is afraid of whom!
"Hey. Bastard, that's what I fancy first. β
How dare someone rob someone from him?
Bajir was annoyed by the guy who suddenly came out, grabbed the mother and daughter and prepared to rob someone.
William is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he asked people to stuff the money into the man who sold his wife and children and said, "This is two billion lira, who do you think should be sold to?"
The man was bewildered by William and Bagil's reaction, and while humiliated, he handed a billion lira to Bagill again.
It's okay.
As the son of the Minister of Finance, don't you want to lose face?
Bajir said to his entourage, "Give him three billion." β
Hey, you're not convinced?
William came to be interested, more than the lira, who is afraid of whom, the boss has said, to dry the lira into waste paper, not to spend a lot of money, how to dry the lira into waste paper.
Without thinking about it, William said to the bodyguard: "Give him 10 billion." β
I'm Nima!
Baguill was annoyed by the inhumanity of William's trenches.
10 billion lira, almost 40,000 dollars at the current exchange rate.
With so much money, even if you go to buy a pair of sisters and aunts, twin mothers and daughters, it is enough.
This is where you get neuropathy.
Damn it, nouveau riche.
Glancing at William's clothes, Baguill said indignantly, "Bastard, you wait for me." β
"Heh, I'm afraid of you. More than money, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death. β
Raising a middle finger at the back of Bagir leaving, William asked him to throw ten billion to the man who sold his wife and daughter, and said to the mother and daughter with a charitable smile: "What a poor little cutie, I think, now you must need a warm big house and fragrant bread." β
But at this moment, with ten billion lira, the man counted five billion and handed it to William and said, "Sir." I can't just sell Kana. β
As he spoke, the man went to take his wife's hand, apparently wanting to redeem his wife.
How can this Nima.
Whoever buys the vase still buys it one by one.
Wrong.
Whoever does charity has only half of it.
William's eyes widened: "You can take them all away, of course, you must also give me back 10 billion." β
The man's face suddenly looked desperate.
Suddenly he had money, but he lost his loved ones, and he really didn't know how to have both.
William struck while the iron was hot and said, "I'll give you three seconds to think about it." β
Three seconds later, the man took the money and left.
William greeted the mother and daughter to the car and returned to the hotel in style.
arranged for the two to take a bath, change their clothes, and when the two came out again, William's eyes suddenly lit up.
People rely on clothing, and Buddha relies on gold.
Changing into a brand-new English princess dress, wearing a pearl necklace and a headdress, the two suddenly changed their appearance, looking like a pair of sisters.
Especially the mother, her beautiful figure is undoubtedly revealed under the princess dress, and her fair complexion and convex and concave shape make people imagine her beauty and feel.
The little girl looked timid, but although she was only thirteen years old, she was completely different from the thirteen years old of the Oriental, her pure eyes blinked, and she looked at William timidly, but at the same time she had the figure of an Oriental at least seventeen or eighteen years old.
The two stand together, mature and youthful, and they are simply God's best masterpieces.
If it weren't for the fact that the faces of the two of them were a little glowing, and their skin had lost a little luster due to malnutrition, they would definitely be even more beautiful.
William was kind-hearted and immediately arranged for roasted whole lamb and fragrant bread.
Watching the two of them gobble up, he couldn't bear to say: "I really don't know what you have been through, believe me, follow me, you can live the best life." β
As a veteran driver, William was not in a hurry to show any wolf ambitions.
Full of sympathy and compassion, he asked what the mother and daughter had gone through.
Kana's family lives near the Aare Mountains, and because of the war and soaring prices, many people in the village have died of starvation and froze to death, and they have to flee there to warm Istanbul.
But when I came here, I was uprooted and found that life didn't get any better because of it.
Many businesses have gone bankrupt because of the lira's collapse, and the locals are so discriminatory against outsiders that they simply can't find a job to support their families.
Kana's husband wants to end her job at the women's branch, but the women's branch has been recruiting a lot of workers lately, and she must provide a medical certificate and a local household registration certificate before she can join the company.
Without money, I can't afford a medical check-up.
The family could only go hungry and have a full meal, huddled near the dock, and made a living by picking up garbage.
Kana lowered her head and told her about her misfortune, and William couldn't bear it, pulling her over and putting her on his lap.
Suddenly, Kana's body, which was already nervous, stiffened, and her whole body didn't dare to move anymore as if she was paralyzed.
She wanted to escape.
But in this country, where is there a place where their poor can go?
Fortunately, William didn't do anything excessive, just hugged the little girl Khangir on his lap, comforted the two and said: "I express remorse and heartache for what happened to you, but please believe me, from now on, you will live the happiest life." I promise. β
The little girl was still a little naΓ―ve after all, and looked at William timidly and said, "Big brother, are you hiding a leg of mutton on your body?" β
β......β
Late at night.
Khangir knew that William was not hiding a leg of mutton.
And William is really very repentant that he has brought great disasters to Turkey and displaced an unknown number of people.
He stretched out his hands to learn the etiquette of the locals, praying sincerely for what he had done, hoping that his sins would be forgiven.
Both mother and daughter were pierced by William's integrity, leaving tears of happiness and emotion.
On the occasion of the three poles of the sun.
The sun hangs high in the branches.
William got up from the bed, glanced at his godsister Khangir, and looked for Kana, the godsister he recognized last night.
Probably accepting her fate, Kana was preparing breakfast when she saw William coming over and handed over a glass of goat's milk with a red face.
Nervous all day long, suddenly received this kind of love, William suddenly felt happy in his heart, drank love milk, changed into a suit, strode forward, supported his waist, and went out to the trading department downstairs.
The lira is exchanged for the US dollar 263332.
Looking at the price of lira in the market, William's eyes flashed with pity and sympathy, but the corners of his mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery.
In this battle to defend the lira, the central bank of Turkey raised the interest rate to 75 percent and called on the people of the whole country to defend the lira and defeat the evil dollar.
But Turkey's central bank has not bought a dime of lira in the market so far.
On the side of the First International, the size of the position has not changed at all recently, and not even a dime of lira has been continued to sell.
However, the market is selling a lot of lira.
Having traveled all over the world, William has never seen a country that completely ignores the exchange rate like the Turkish government.
Sure enough, the boss said - the dog has huskies, and the state has hairless chickens.
Glancing at the statistics of the transactions, William lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa to recuperate.
Although it is still a long time before the boss said the exchange rate of one million, according to the current counterattack of the Turkish central bank, all the cards in their hands have been played, and there is no second ending except for surrender.
It seems that he may have to put more energy into saving the poor women here who are about to fall into dire straits.
In fact, there are some things that cannot be blamed on the Turkish government.
In order to control the entire Mediterranean and restore the hegemony of the former Ottoman Empire, investment in military industrial facilities is indispensable.
However, in the whole of Turkey, there is not a single copper mine, and all basic industrial materials are completely dependent on imports, and they are continuously connected with the former Soviet Union. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as well as the confrontation between Syria, Iraq, Iran and the Kurds, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it is impossible to save much foreign exchange.
Not to mention, now the entire northern part of the Black Sea is blocked indefinitely, and the volume of transportation of Istanbul's golden waterway has been reduced by a third.
Every day, merchant ships from various countries go to the Turkish Maritime Administration to scold, which can be said to be already a mess.
At this time, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Memet Fouad Koprulu, entered the Chinese Embassy in Turkey with his body in detention.
Compared with the past few swaggers, his whole body is now sluggish, like a dog that has been hungry for several days, drooping his head and unable to lift up a little strength.
Because, both the military and the acting president have issued orders, no matter what the reason, they must immediately take the guarantee promised by Qianfan Investment Company, and now the country has reached the most critical moment.
