Chapter 761: Unexpected Resonance
When Jing Jian found out that it was Marvin Hoben, an official of the Ministry of Finance, who was looking for him tomorrow, he immediately called William and asked him to know all the information about him.
Unexpectedly, the situation of this official was quite easy to inquire about, and it didn't take much effort at all to get a lot of news.
The reason why this is so is, of course, because this Mr. Hobben is actually the heir of the Hobben family. The Hoburn family is a veteran capitalist family in Germany, which has survived World War I, World War II and nearly a hundred years after the war, and has extremely strong strength in the industrial and financial fields of Europe. If you make an analogy, it is very similar to the Hirata family of Yasushi Hirata.
Funnily enough, unlike Yasuya Hirata, Malvin Hoburn (hereinafter referred to as Malvern), as the first heir of the family, has performed well since he was a child. After graduating with honors from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Berlin, he entered the ...... What does the Ministry of Finance do?
Jing Jian was taken aback when he saw this. Did this rich N generation take the wrong medicine? If he didn't choose to go back to his family to prepare for succession, how could he become a civil servant in a government department?
Well, maybe it's to accumulate work experience, I guess Malvin's father Hobben Sr. thought so at that time. But the next thing is even more interesting, after five years, ten years...... Fourteen years have passed now, and the elder Hoben has asked Marvin to return to the family several times, but that Malvin just doesn't want to, he just likes his work in the Ministry of Finance.
You can ask for the psychological shadow area of the poor father, anyway, this matter has become an anecdote in German high society, all saying that the old Hoben gave birth to a good son, that is, the son was rebellious all his life and actually contributed himself to Germany?
Of course, Marvin himself is quite good, and with the background of the Hubburn family, he is indeed rising step by step in the Ministry of Finance. However, the West is an electoral system, and even if Marvin rises high, he can't become a cabinet member like a minister or deputy minister?
Completely different from the Chinese system, civil servants in Europe and the United States are civil servants who can only carry out the policies formulated by the Cabinet Council, in other words, they obey orders and follow orders. So even if Marvin rises to the top, he still has no decision-making power. No matter how good the soldier king is, he is also a small soldier!
......
can only be speechless, that Malvin really has a character. Jing Jian also cares about other people's family affairs, but he just roughly analyzed the character of this Malvin, who is pursuing, stubborn, and adheres to principles, and it is difficult to be impressed by others, maybe he is like many Germanic people, a little old-fashioned, right?
However, the next day, when he met this Malvin in Werner's office, he was shocked, because the two of them had seen before, the same old angry young man who had an argument with the sheriff?
And Marven also obviously recognized Jing Jian, and without waiting for Werner's introduction, he smiled and patted Jing Jian's shoulder: "It turned out to be you? ”
Jing Jian was a little embarrassed, but before he could speak, Marven continued: "I understand that you are also difficult to do. I just can't get used to seeing the police. ”
At this time, what else could Jing Jian say besides laughing "hehe"? And Werner on the side finally found a chance to speak: "Great, it turns out that the two gentlemen know each other." ”
Malven, who should be familiar with the Werner manager, interrupted with a smile: "Werner, can I ask Bramble a few words first?
"No problem, Mr. Hoburn. ”
"Haha, call me Malvern. This meeting is informal, don't get me wrong about any ill will towards you. ”
"Hehe, thank you!"
The previous analysis should be invalidated, this Malvin has a bit of a self-cooked taste. Jing Jian was also very interested in what he wanted to know.
"Bramble, do you foresee changes in the Eastern European market?"
"More than half of it. ”
"Why?" changed the ease just now, and Malven became serious.
"As soon as the Soviet Union is weak, the countries of Eastern Europe, which have been forcibly suppressed by the powers, will definitely rebel. ”
"Jumping against?"
Jing Jian smiled and used a more accurate translation: "It's jumping up against it." ”
"Hehe, that's a good word. However, Marven is not very surprised by Jing Jian's judgment, and it is not that Western experts have predicted it.
"Then how did you come up with the idea of exchanging all the Eastern European currencies for the East German mark?" Marvin asked again.
"Safety, relatively speaking, is the safest. Jing Jian replied quickly, "At that time, it was assumed that if the Eastern European market was opened, their currencies would definitely depreciate significantly. The economy of East Germany was the best, and the depreciation should be minimal. And there is a high probability of reunification with your West Germany, and then you will come up with a satisfactory monetary policy. Obviously, I was right. ”
Marven smiled: "Then have you ever thought about what if we don't implement the current monetary policy?"
Jing Jian also smiled: "Even at the black market price, there is the current German government, and there will never be much depreciation." Then my risk will be very small. ”
"So, is your White Lotus falsely claiming to bring well-being to the people of Eastern Europe?
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "If everything is misjudged, it is nothing more than the goods purchased in Chinese yuan in exchange for those currencies in Eastern Europe that forcibly maintain high prices." Sooner or later, we will be able to balance it by sourcing goods from Eastern Europe. Neither is a hard currency in the international market, and I don't really pay anything. Of course, I do have an element of sympathy for the people of Eastern Europe. Their lives under the old system were too hard. But my principle, doing charity is okay, but it can't prevent me from making money!"
"Hahaha......" Marven laughed out loud, pointing at Jing Jian and joking, "You're a little stingy?"
Jing Jian shrugged: "Actually, the main thing is the meaning of making money. ”
"Uh-huh. Malvern thoughtfully said, "The meaning of making money?
Jing Jian was a little puzzled, in fact, he really didn't mean anything else, it was nothing more than pouring chicken soup and making him seem to have a higher style. Why does this rich N generation feel so much?
After pondering for a while, Jing Jian suddenly realized that this sentence had touched this Marven's mind, otherwise it would not have been like this at all.
The reason why Malvin has been a civil servant is definitely not for money, let alone power, he should want to do something for his country. However, few people understand his ambitions, and there may be a lot of ridicule behind them. Therefore, Jing Jian's words immediately resonated with him.
"Smack!" Marvin snapped, "Let's go, there's a good restaurant nearby." I'm in for a treat! I won't be polite if you invite me!"
