Chapter Seventy-Nine: Exchange Rates Accurate to the Single Digits
Zhou Ming's words came to an abrupt end here, of course, it was not that Zhou Ming himself couldn't continue, but that some people really couldn't listen to it, Nikolavich said to him: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you don't need to say these truths anymore, because since we are here today to discuss the issuance of the new ruble, then we all know about the relevant situation of the ruble exchange rate." ”
As soon as Nikolavich's words were finished, Zhou Ming immediately asked him: "Why, Mr. President, do you think what I said is nonsense?"
Nikolavich smiled: "What Mr. Zhou Ming said is all about the basic common sense of currency exchange rates, which is the basis of finance, but it is very inappropriate to put it now. ”
Nikolavich's words were very euphemistic, but the meaning was self-evident, he thought that Zhou Ming was talking nonsense, and in addition to Nikolavich, the other North Russian officials sitting here also showed a very disdainful and contemptuous expression towards Zhou Ming, obviously they also thought that Zhou Ming was not at all level when he said this at this time.
In the eyes of these North Russian officials, their initial opinion is really right, this Chinese is Chinese, and his economic achievements are like this, although they can create some miracles, this Zhou Ming's use of daily necessities to master the ruble is also very powerful, but that is just his luck, the blind cat ran into a dead rat, really want him to say a reason, he has no rut, can only say these nonsense to perfunctory.
"It seems that there are some things that Mr. Zhou Ming still does not understand," said Nikolavich, "and what we need now is to calculate the value of the new ruble and set the exchange rate, instead of listening to you talk about these great truths that can be heard in all economic schools." ”
At this time, Tong Gang stood up and said to Nikolavich: "Hello Mr. President, I am the chairman of the Gangcheng Shipping Group, my name is Tong Gang, I don't know if I can say a few words?"
Nikolavich stretched out his hand to him and said, "Of course you can, but I don't know what Mr. Tong Gang's justification?"
A sentence of defense directly set the tone for Tong Gang's words before he spoke, and Tong Gang also frowned, but he still said to Nikolavich: "I understand the purpose of Mr. President inviting us here today, in fact, we also very much hope that the new ruble can be issued as much as possible, but there is one point, any exchange rate has a certain way of calculation, such as foreign exchange reserves and domestic economic development, as well as national purchasing power." ”
"Due to the secrecy of the state, whether it is me or Zhou Ming, we don't know, so under the premise of lack of conditions, Mr. President directly asked us to talk about the exchange rate, is it a bit too difficult for a strong man?" Tong Gang asked Nikolavich rhetorically.
"It seems that this is the way you Chinese think, you can talk nonsense if you don't know?"
Nikolavich first nodded silently to set the tone for his words, and then continued: "But this is also my negligence, since Mr. Zhou Ming is my invited guest, I can approve him to go through some of the most basic archives......"
Nikolavich's words were not finished, but Zhou Ming said first: "Now the GDP of the North Russian Republic is about two trillion US dollars, and the gold and foreign exchange reserves are about 100 billion US dollars. ”
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Nikolavich smiled again, and he said to Zhou Ming: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is worthy of being a famous businessman from China, and the collection of this information is still very good. ”
Nikolavich's words are no longer followed here, Zhou Ming shook his head lightly and said: "Mr. President, don't blame me for being a straight talker, you and your team are really stingy, and you want to set a conclusive new ruble exchange rate, and you don't want to show others the real situation in the country now, I really don't understand what you are afraid of." ”
Zhou Ming's words obviously poked the hearts of these North Russian officials, and the chief of staff of the president, Kasia, first stood up and pointed at Zhou Ming's nose and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, please pay attention to your words! This is the Mulin Palace, not a place where you can talk nonsense, please maintain enough respect for Mr. President in front of Mr. President!"
With Kasia taking the lead in jumping out to defend Nikolavich's dignity, other senior officials in North Russia also expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming one by one, but compared with Kasia, their words were relatively more tactful.
"If other people have this request, I think we will still consider it, but Mr. Zhou Ming, you forget it, compared to those arguments that can be heard at Petrograd University, we would like to hear something more practical, otherwise no matter what kind of actual economic figures we give, it will have no effect, I don't know if Mr. Zhou Ming yourself thinks so?"
In the end, Nikolavich himself stood up and said to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I invited you here for the sake of your ability, and I really want to hear your opinion, but you are so disappointed to me now." ”
In the face of the cynicism in the entire conference room, Zhou Ming still did not change his face and his heart did not beat, he said slowly: "Since Mr. President has said so, then I have to say, according to my calculations, the exchange rate of the new ruble against the US dollar is best at 327 to 1, that is, 327 rubles to huàn 1 US dollar, of course, it can also be raised or decreased, after all, in the market environment, the exchange rate is not static." ”
Zhou Ming continued: "I know that this exchange rate is a little low, but it is also because the current economic situation in North Russia is in a downward stage, and a slight depreciation of the currency will be conducive to stimulating trade growth, stimulating the development of the domestic economy, and more conducive to economic recovery.
As Zhou Ming's words fell, the entire conference room suddenly became silent, and all the senior officials of North Russia, including North Russian President Nikolavich, looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, with a face full of disbelief.
Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to speak, just propped up the table with his hands, waiting for them to come back to their senses.
All the officials present here are officials from the power center of North Russia, and they all have a certain psychological tolerance, so the surprise is only a matter of a moment, and soon everyone came back to their senses, Nikolavich asked Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, how did you get this exchange rate?"
Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders senselessly and replied: "It's just relying on those nonsense arguments that are very meaningless in your eyes and can be heard in any school of economics." ”
This answer made everyone suddenly feel that they had been slapped in the face, but fortunately, the people who could sit here today were all high-ranking officials with profound qi cultivation, otherwise these people would all blush for their contempt and ridicule of Zhou Ming just now, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground on the spot.
The reason is very simple, of course, it is not that Zhou Ming said it wrong, but that what he said was too accurate.
Today's economic meeting revolves around the new ruble exchange rate, and before Zhou Ming came over, the meeting has actually begun, in the previous meeting, the Prime Minister of North Russia has also informed everyone of the calculation results of the financial department, and this result is what Zhou Ming said 327 to 1, one ruble is not much, and one ruble is a lot.
If Zhou Ming said in general terms that it was more than three hundred to one, then it can be said that he was completely coincidental, but now that Zhou Ming has accurately said that it is in the single digits, it is difficult to explain it by coincidence.
You must know that the number reported by the prime minister is calculated by how many economic officials in the financial department have worked hard overnight after meeting with the statistics department, maybe this number is not perfect, and it may not be used as the final number, but it is already the most scientific number, but now it has been broken by Zhou Ming, how can this not be surprising?
They couldn't understand how Zhou Ming calculated this number? There are many of these numbers that only the North Russian government knows!
As if guessing everyone's thoughts, Zhou Ming said at this time: "You don't have to doubt me anything, I am just a foreign Chinese, I can't know the numbers within your government, but I really do business with all the North Russians, maybe those are just daily necessities that you can't look at, but they really have the most accurate numbers, especially in the national purchasing power, I know better than you." ”
"In addition, Chairman Tong and I entered the investment on the first day of the opening of the securities company, and the decline in the ruble exchange rate before also helped me a little. ”
Zhou Ming said: "I have participated in everything from the capital market to industrial management, so I can deduce the real appearance of this country from these activities. ”
North Russian President Nikolavich was shocked, his chief of staff Kassia was shocked, and the prime minister and all the other senior officials of North Russia present were deeply shocked by Zhou Ming's words at this moment!
Oh.my.gad!
This is the only sentence that everyone can think of in their hearts at this time, and at this time they can only use this sentence to express their feelings, for no other reason, this is really Zhou Ming is too demonic.
It is not impossible to infer the real situation of a country from the sales of daily necessities and the direction of the capital market, but the variables are too big and difficult to grasp, after all, every transaction may be random, and there is also the result of the deliberate guidance of the state, if Zhou Ming told them in advance that they could calculate the new ruble exchange rate in this way, they would definitely laugh at him in the Arabian Nights, but now they can only worship.
Could it be that this Chinese has a head that surpasses Einstein? Otherwise, how could he calculate such a strange thing?
Everyone felt messy because of this, and some people were even secretly pinching themselves, trying to wake themselves up from this incredible and absurd dream, but the result was of course impossible.
Looking at the picture of everyone being shocked by himself, the corners of Zhou Ming's mouth rose, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the reason why he was able to say this exchange rate was not because of how strong his calculation power was, but because he knew.
