Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nonsense
Every country has a synonym for a center of power, such as the White House in the United States, 10 Downing Street in the United Kingdom, the Elysee Palace and Zhongnanhai in France, etc., some are very famous and have a high appearance rate, and some are relatively low-known, and here in North Russia, his power center is the world-famous Mlin...... 23
Located on the most central hill in the capital of Northern Russia, Krísko, the Mlin Palace is one of the best-preserved palace complexes in the world, and it is also the place where the royal family has been crowned and held for hundreds of years, and now it is the place where the leader works and lives.
A very ordinary Volga car slowly drove through Red Square into the Mulin Palace, a symbol of power, and Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong were just sitting in the car.
In the car, Karelina consciously took on the role of a tour guide and introduced them to Zhou Ming: "In fact, the Mulin Palace also has a great relationship with China, that is, hundreds of years ago, the most powerful Mongol Empire expedition to Europe, the army arrived here in Krishko, saw the Mulin Palace, and called it a fortress that is difficult to attack, so the Mulin Palace has the meaning of an inner city and a fortress to the present." ”
No one can tell whether the legend is true or false hundreds of years ago, but Karelina, as the granddaughter of a former high-ranking Soviet official, is naturally much more accurate than others.
Like Zhongnanhai, the Mlin Palace also has its own majesty and rules, Zhou Ming and their Volga can only drive to the gate tower, and then they must get out of the car, change to the vehicle designated by the Mlin, and get to where they want to go. In the final analysis, this is also for the sake of the security of the national yuan, although if there are really people with ulterior motives who really bring a high-power bomb, they can still blow up the entire Mulin Palace to the sky.
After verifying their identities, Zhou Ming and the others were taken to a building with a very medieval Byzantine classical charm, which, according to Karelina, was the place where the former Soviet high-ranking officials worked and rested, and was the real center of power in the palace.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, Mr. Li Cheng and Mr. Tong Gang, Mr. President is already waiting for you in the conference room, please follow me up. ”
A secretary waited for Zhou Ming and them at the door, and after seeing them, he told them this, and then took them upstairs, Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong just followed him in, and came to the door of a conference room through a long corridor, telling them that Mr. President was having a meeting inside, Zhou Ming nodded and pushed open the door and walked in, and the situation inside made them nervous.
Of course, this tension does not mean that there is a special forces ambush in the conference room, and when they walk in, they will be machine-gunned to beat them into honeycomb coals and eliminate these criminals who invaded the economy of North Russia, but it is full of high-ranking officials of the Republic of North Russia.
There is a long table in the conference room, North Russian President Nikolavich sits upright, and the others sit on both sides, Zhou Ming They have a certain understanding of the power structure here after they came to North Russia, and know that these are the current senior officials of the North Russian government, including the prime minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs, all the senior officials of the government with real power are basically here. But even if they didn't know, just looking at the presidential chief of staff they had seen, Cassia could only sit below, and the other people who could sit in front of him could imagine their identities.
Judging from the identities of these people, the importance of today's meeting can be imagined, so how can they not be nervous when a group of outsiders come over in such a meeting attended by so many government officials?
Fortunately, Zhou Ming had been in Zhongnanhai and had antibodies to such a situation, so he was the first to be relieved, and he said to Nikolavich: "Mr. President and gentlemen, hello, I'm sorry to disturb you, I am Zhou Ming invited to attend this meeting, these two are Mr. Tong Gang, chairman of Gangcheng Shipping Group, a famous businessman in Gangcheng, and Mr. Li Cheng, chairman of Changhe Industrial, I am very happy to meet you." ”
With Zhou Ming's opening, Tong Gang and Li Chengcheng were not nervous, and they were also familiar with greeting the senior officials of North Russia who attended the meeting.
Nikolavich nodded, and then said to everyone: "Mr. Zhou Ming has already introduced it to everyone just now, and today I invited Mr. Zhou Ming to come over to discuss the matter of the new ruble." ”
Nikolavich's words made everyone suddenly look at Zhou Ming in surprise, although they had long known that Nikolavich would invite an outsider to attend the meeting today, and they also knew that this person was a young Chinese, and he was even richer in mastering the old ruble. But knowing and seeing it with their own eyes are always two different things, so they were surprised at first.
If Zhou Ming is a Chinese-American, or an economics professor from Hong Kong City, and at least he is a businessman in his fifties and sixties, this can be easily accepted, but Zhou Ming is now such a young man from Chinese mainland, which is really difficult to convince.
Because Zhou Ming was invited by President Nikolavich, and it is an indisputable fact that Zhou Ming has the ruble, although these high-ranking officials of North Russia did not show anything on the surface, they always unconsciously had a suspicious look in their eyes.
In the face of these eyes, Zhou Ming didn't care, because for him, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me, and I don't really serve as a staff officer for you to help you solve economic problems, all I want is to make money, that's all.
Nikolavich then asked Zhou Ming to sit down, and the legendary president of North Russia said to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you already know the content of the meeting here today, and you are also a very shrewd Chinese businessman, so I will not repeat it too much." ”
After some politeness, Nikolavich went straight to the topic and said: "Now the economic shape of North Russia, Mr. Zhou Ming, you know, since the opening of the capital market, the exchange rate of the ruble has plummeted, and with the depreciation of the ruble, it has also brought a series of troubles to the domestic economy, so in order to save the economy of North Russia, we decided to abolish the old ruble in the past and make a new ruble, I don't know what Mr. Zhou Ming thinks?"
"This is the economic policy of your North Russia, I have no opinion, and I am also very much in favor of the new ruble. Zhou Ming said.
For this answer given by Zhou Ming, the senior officials of North Russia present shook their heads lightly, originally when Nikolavich asked Zhou Ming, these officials all had expectations for the Chinese specially invited by Mr. President, no matter where he came from and what his age was, his behavior of using daily necessities sales to master the ruble was still very surprising, so everyone wanted to hear his high theory, but who knew that he gave such a nonsense answer.
At that time, some people cursed in their hearts: You damn bastard! Are these Chinese guys who can only shoot horses? I asked you to come here to let you give advice, not let you follow!
Even Nikolavich frowned in displeasure, because Zhou Ming's support was not the answer he wanted.
Because the abolition of the old ruble and the new ruble, this is not a simple policy change, which involves all aspects of economic problems, not handled well, it is very likely to cause a national economic collapse, this is not any government wants to see, so we must be careful and careful to deal with it, want to the currency replacement after the founding of the new China, it will not last for several years to complete.
Now the situation is the same in North Russia, although the old ruble system is no longer working, and the national economy is also very bad, but after all, it has not yet reached the situation of complete chaos and reshuffling, and Nikolavich also hopes that the new ruble will pass smoothly.
It was for this reason that he invited Zhou Ming over, just to hear Zhou Ming's opinion, but who knew that Zhou Ming threw out such a word of support.
Nikolavich thought for a while and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is also not optimistic about the old ruble, but Mr. Zhou Ming also saw that the old ruble has depreciated very strictly because of rising prices, economic problems and other reasons.
Zhou Ming sighed: "The exchange rate, in fact, the exchange rate is the value of a currency in the final analysis, and the exchange rate is due to the comparison of different value quantities between various currencies." ”
"To put it simply, in the past, under the gold standard, gold was the most basic and universal currency, so the monetary units of the two countries that implemented the gold standard system can determine the price between them according to their respective gold content, which is the exchange rate. ”
Zhou Ming paused here when he said this, and then continued: "Of course, that is the practice of metal money in the past, and now it is paper money, but the actual situation is still the same, paper money as a representative of metal currency in various countries, with reference to the past practice, to stipulate the gold content of paper money, this gold content is the exchange rate, but compared with the past practice, paper money is much more virtual, and this exchange rate is not so stable." ”
"Especially in the market environment, the exchange rate will change with the economic development, or the bank interest rate and the political changes of the country where it is located, so the determination of the exchange rate must be cautious. ”
Zhou Ming continued: "Because the value of the currency is very large, it is a reflection of a country's economic strength, if the exchange rate is set high, and the country does not have such a strong economic strength, then it will cause the future exchange rate to collapse; ”
"Northern Russia is a very powerful country, it inherited all of the former Soviet Union, it is one of the most important forces in the world that cannot be ignored, and if you want to make a new ruble, you have to be careful in the formulation of this exchange rate. Zhou Ming finally said.
