Chapter 66: Start at the Roots
In Villa No. 8 on Grad Street, young William hurriedly pushed open the door of a room and shouted inside: "Davier is not good, Jim just came with news that Zhou Ming and Ilbedov are flying to Petrograd together!"
This is Daviere's study, the person in charge of the Dota Project was watering the flowers at this time, and William's voice shook his hand, and the water in the pot spilled on the table, he put down the shower very dissatisfied, and said: "William, I really should have thrown you to Colombia, instead of bringing you here, you can't have a little memory, how many times have I told you to knock on the door before coming in, why can't you remember?"
William, who had been taught a lesson, wanted to say something, but Davier remembered something, and then said: "And what did you just call me? I said that I would call me Monsieur Davier, you bastard without rules!"
In the face of Davidier's accusation, William raised his hands: "Okay, Dear Mr. Davier, I was wrong, but this time the matter was too anxious, and I forgot about it for a while." ”
David had no choice but to wave his hand and ask him, "Then what did you just say? Zhou Ming and that North Russian merchant went to Petrograd, what did they do there? Did Jim sue you?"
When it came to specific things, William calmed down, he thought for a while and replied to Davier: "I don't know what Jim is doing, but it is said that a 10,000-ton freighter from the Port City Shipping Group docked at the port of Petrograd last night, and from the perspective of time, their trip to Petrograd is likely to be related to the arrival of this freighter." ”
David sighed, obviously this answer made him feel a little surprised: "It turns out that Zhou Ming is behind the Gangcheng Consortium? There are a few very powerful guys in the Gangcheng Consortium, and it is reasonable for them to want a piece of the pie when they learn about the movement on the North Russian side." ”
Listening to Davidier's self-talking analysis, William suddenly asked him: "Davidier, do you think this is really a coincidence? Or is it simply a smokescreen he released, because I really can't imagine that with the current financial situation in North Russia, a 10,000-ton freighter can change anything, unless this 10,000-ton freighter is all gold, it can't be changed at all!"
"That's true, but 10,000 tons of gold, it's a fantasy. Davier said disdainfully, "Not to mention whether it is possible to get 10,000 tons of gold from that place in Port City, even if it is conjured by magic, how can they transport it to North Russia in such a short time, besides, those Port City families, why are they wasting so much wealth here? This is not logical at all!"
"But what else could it be if it wasn't gold? I really can't think of it, it seems that it can only be a coincidence. William said.
"Actually, I don't think it matters if it's a coincidence or not, William, you just need to remember that our Dota plan is running, and nothing can stop it, that's fine, our goal is twenty trillion dollars!"
Davier said very conceitedly, and then he remembered something, and said to William: "Compared to this, I think William, your politeness is the most worthy of my attention! You forgot to add the suffix of Mr. to my name just now, you must remember that this is the most important thing!"
In the face of Davier's criticism, William wilted like a frosted eggplant.
......
David and William were very conceited here, but they never imagined that this freighter was carrying more than 10,000 tons of daily necessities. But it's normal for them to think of it, not to mention the proud Americans, even the North Russian tycoon Ilbedov, who has been following Zhou Ming, can't figure it out.
At this moment, in the castle of Hoplov in Petrograd, Ilbedov and Hoplov both looked at Zhou Ming with wide eyes, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, this 10,000-ton daily necessities ...... Is it just the most ordinary clothes, shoes, socks, knives, forks, cutlery, and cutlery?"
Ilbedov asked Zhou Ming in a daze, if it weren't for Zhou Ming's previous stories, if it weren't for Zhou Ming sitting in front of him now, he would really think that he and he didn't live in the same world, because if it was a person in the same world, why would he not understand Zhou Ming's thoughts at all?
Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said: "It's very simple, aren't you North Russia lacking these things now? I can see that on the streets of Grad, everyone is scrambling to sell or barter, isn't it all the same?"
The answer given by Zhou Ming made Ilbedov feel the urge to vomit blood, this is not how bizarre Zhou Ming's answer is, in fact, if Zhou Ming's answer is profound, Ilberdorf can feel a little better, because it is a very profound answer after all, but the key is that Zhou Ming's answer is so simple now, so simple that even Kristo's three-year-old child can understand it, which makes Ilberdorf crazy.
Indeed, Chrisko is short of daily necessities, which is a sequelae left over from the Soviet Union's focus on the military industry, which is common sense, and now the whole of North Russia is short of daily necessities.
Anyone with eyes can see this, but the key question is what is the relationship between daily necessities and finance?
Thinking so, Ilbedov subconsciously set his eyes on Li Cheng and Tong Gang next to him.
Tong Gang, who is relatively more status at present, spread his hands and replied to him first: "Mr. Ilbedov, don't look at me like that, I don't understand, that's why I came here with Mr. Li Cheng." ”
Li Cheng said: "Zhou Ming told us that there is a big business here, saying that if we bring more than 10,000 tons of daily necessities, we can make a lot of money, not only this 10,000 tons, but also a few freighters will come over in the future, which are also full of daily necessities and some grain." ”
Ilbedov was dumbfounded, looked at Zhou Ming in a daze and asked, "Mr. Zhou Ming, shouldn't this big business refer to the Dota Project?"
In fact, Ilbedov still had a sentence "Is it difficult that you want to sell clothes, shoes and socks here?" did not ask, but Ilbedov thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't ask.
But Ilbedov can't ask doesn't mean that Zhou Ming can't see it, Zhou Ming said to him: "Ilbedov is you think too much, the big business I am talking about is actually the Dota Plan, and daily necessities and finance, they are one." ”
Ilbedov shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge, I really don't understand how these two sides can be one?"
When Ilbedov asked this question, Li Cheng and Tong Gang also looked at Zhou Ming curiously, waiting for Zhou Ming's answer.
Zhou Ming thought for a while, and did not answer directly, but first asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the root cause of the collapse of the ruble exchange rate now?"
This question asked Ilbedov and them all, and it was also because this question was too simple, they didn't think that Zhou Ming's question would be so in-depth.
Zhou Ming then asked: "Do you all think that the current collapse in the ruble exchange rate is related to Dota's plan to sell rubles in securities companies without restrictions?"
Ilbedov and they couldn't help but nod their heads in the face of this question, but they all endured it in the end, waiting for Zhou Ming to reveal the final answer for them, Zhou Ming continued: "Chairman Tong Li Dong and Mr. Ilbedov, you are all very powerful businessmen, I believe that you all understand some of the most basic financial logic, so I want to ask if the ruble is worth such a big deal, how much does it need to be sold to be enough?"
Zhou Ming continued: "Finance and business are sometimes the same, you need to invest money first, and wait until the whole business model works to achieve the desired effect, so that you can recover the cost and generate profits. ”
"It is true that many things are the same, but Mr. Zhou Ming, now the Dota Project only needs to invest a small part of it, create panic, and let the people of North Russia sell the ruble themselves, which can also achieve the same effect. Ilbedov said.
Zhou Ming nodded and said: "This is hedging, which is to use your own capital advantages to create the trend you want within a certain range, so that people can blindly follow the trend created by the banker, and then profit from it." But here's a question, what makes the people lose confidence in the economy of North Russia, and blindly follow the ruble panic created by the Dota Plan, sell the ruble themselves, and help them short the ruble?"
This time, Li Chengtong and Ilbedov didn't speak, because of Zhou Ming's guidance, they had already thought of something.
Of course, at this time, Zhou Ming didn't need them to answer anything, Zhou Ming asked himself: "It's because of the extreme shortage of daily necessities in North Russia now!"
"Clothes, shoes, socks, knives, forks and cutlery are ordinary and not worth much, but when these things are missing, they are very fatal, and as far as I know, North Russia is now very short of salt. ”
Zhou Ming said: "I was born in Chinese mainland, I have not systematically studied financial knowledge, but I can understand that if a thing wants to increase in price, it must be because there are very few things, otherwise a thing is sold everywhere in the streets and alleys, do you still think that the price of this thing will rise? ”
"Going back to the issue of the ruble," Zhou Ming said, "it was because of the scarcity of the most basic daily necessities in North Russia that prices soared, and finally the ruble exchange rate plummeted." ”
"The reason is very simple, imagine that even a bag of salt costs thousands of rubles to buy, what is the value of this ruble? Who would trust the rubles in the North Russians?" Zhou Ming said, "Because of this, as long as the Dota Project creates a little panic, it will immediately become a flood, and the people of the North Russians will help them sell rubles." ”
"So Zhou Ming, you just want to solve the problem from the root, as long as the crisis of daily necessities is solved, the exchange rate of the ruble will naturally rise. Li Cheng analyzed.
Zhou Ming nodded and said: "That's it, as long as we insist on paying in rubles to trade, when these cheap daily necessities are in oversupply, I can't find a reason to let the ruble continue to fall, what do you think?"
In the face of Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, Li Chengtong and Ilbedov just looked at each other a few times, and finally gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up: "Zhou Ming, your idea is really amazing!"
(Finally the Spring Festival! Chinese New Year's Eve, that is, today and tomorrow at noon on the first day of the New Year, red envelopes will be released, and everyone is welcome to come and grab red envelopes in seconds! The number is limited, first come, first served!)
