The Dota Project is located in Villa No. 8 of the General Headquarters of Northern Russia, which is a very large building with an area of land, in addition to a very magnificent castle-like building in the center, there is a very large courtyard in the back, and in the morning when the sun rises over the horizon, the two important people, Meta and Davier, play tennis on an open-air tennis court in the courtyard.

For these Western tycoons, physical fitness is a very important indicator, so unless they have something particularly important, they will definitely take a certain amount of time to do physical exercise, whether it is running or playing ball.

This is not only in their opinion, only people who have no ability and no brains will work hard every day and exchange their lives for money, but more importantly, they understand the importance of physical qualities.

For example, in business negotiations, most people think that it is a competition of information and negotiation skills between the two sides, and this concept is correct, but this concept is based on the premise that the level of the two sides of the negotiation is different, but who really walks at the pinnacle of life, which one is not a human spirit? Who will not work information mastery and negotiation skills? Then since everyone is similar in these two aspects, the final competition can only be the willpower of both sides.

How can a person who is physically incapable of being able to gain an advantage in willpower? You must know that a business negotiation that is heavy on dà is likely to last for several days or even half a month.

It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and in this time, once anyone can't hold on first, it will be easy to lose the opportunity and be led away by the nose.

It is also the pursuit of physical elements, so when meeting the real nobles of the West, whether they are royal nobles or wealthy corporations, most of them maintain their figures very well, which is the result of their usual exercise. Therefore, the rich and handsome often said in later generations are not groundless, at least in the upper circles of the West, unless the physical condition does not allow, there will rarely be a dead fat house.

With a forehand shot, Meta hit a very high-quality moon ball that flew over Davier's head and landed in bounds.

Seeing this result, Davier stopped, took off the tennis cap on his head, and said to Meta on the other side with a sigh: "Mr. Meta is worthy of the original school tennis association, although more than 30 years have passed now, Mr. Meta still seems to be young!"

"I think it's the result of your neglect of exercise, and if you can get off the court and play a few shots if you're fine, I think I'll have a hard time, after all, you're so much younger than me. ”

Meta said to Davier, waving to him, and they walked off the court together, just as someone came over to take their racket hats and brought them towels and drinks.

"Monsieur Mehta is talking about the red soil of France, and I think it is only on that kind of soft field that my age and physical advantage can be used to the fullest, and if it were skill, God, I think I would only have to run back and forth." ”

Meta smiled: "That's not necessarily, how to turn your advantage into a victory, this is the most important thing, I think David you are lacking a lot in this regard, I think that Chinese Zhou Ming, he has done a very good job in this regard, even I admire him a little." ”

"Sometimes I wonder if I should compensate him with some of the money if this time the Dota project is over, giving him a chance to make a comeback, after all, I still have a lot of expectations for his future. Meta said.

"What Mr. Meta did was still so unexpected. ”

Davier said casually, he just took what Meta said just now as a joke, although he also thought that the Chinese Zhou Ming did have real skills, but his conditions were there, and that was it.

But since they talked about it, they couldn't stop it, and then they sat down together on the sidelines of the chair, watching the servants busy on the court, maintaining the lawn.

While watching, Davier said: "Mr. Meta, after you called Mr. Nikolavich yesterday, he immediately stopped all the transactions in the securities company, including some of our transactions in the securities company, and even our transactions on the black market, which was greatly affected. ”

Maita nodded and said: "This is inevitable, there is an old saying in their China that kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, after all, we have the same purpose as them, and now the change of currency on the North Russian side also interferes with us." But we have more resources and access than they do, so we have the advantage of having more options than they can do in these situations. ”

Daviier very much agreed with Meta's words, in fact, this is the reason why he has always looked down on Zhou Ming, as the person in charge of the Dota Project, Davier has his own pride.

In addition to pride, the supporters behind the Dota plan are the top consortia and governments in Europe and the United States, so correspondingly, these consortia and countries will definitely provide them with corresponding resources and help, such as the simplest and most direct, if they need to go to the capital market to spend the old ruble in their hands, they don't need to wait for the securities companies in North Russia to open their doors, because the capital markets around the world can be used.

They could buy the Russian bonds on the nearby London Exchange, and then exchange the old rubles for the new ones through the British government.

It sounds very simple, but they can use it with a lot of Western resources, and if they want to replace those Chinese, then there is no door, how can those proud Anglo-Saxons help these Chinese?

Davier was relieved, but Meta was still not at ease, he put down the cup in his hand and asked Davier: "But what is the situation at the Cherf market now?" ”

Hearing Mr. Meta's concern, Davier frowned at the moment, and he replied to Mr. Meta: "The situation at the Cherf market is very strange, although Mr. Nikolavich himself went to the securities company yesterday to give an order, and the securities company has also stopped trading, but the Cherf market is still very prosperous. ”

Davidier thought for a moment and added: "Compared with the previous peak, the transaction volume has decreased, but it is still tens of millions high. ”

Meta was shocked: "There is such a thing, this is too abnormal. ”

This is indeed abnormal, because the Cherv market is now one of the very few places in North Russia that still supports the old ruble very much, and after they went to the channel of a large number of new rubles from the capital market, it stands to reason that even if they don't close their doors, they should change their ways, but what is their situation now? Aren't they afraid that all the old rubles they received will be smashed in their hands, and they really came to North Russia to do charity?

If not, it means they must have something else in mind!

As if to prove their judgment, when the words on their side had just fallen, William hurried into the court, and regardless of the fact that the servants had just taken care of the lawn of the court, he stepped directly on it, came to Meta and Davier, and reported to Meta: "There has just been news from the London Exchange, and they have asked Mr. Meta if you have made a large deal in old rubles. ”

"A big deal in old rubles? I was really going to do it, but I haven't done it yet. ”

Meta said that he and Davier looked at each other, and their hearts chuckled at the same time, and they had a very bad premonition, and then Meta immediately asked, "William, what else is there to say from the London Exchange, and why is that suddenly asking from there?"

"Because a huge amount of money entered the pound market this morning, since the opening of the exchange, the exchange rate of the pound against the old ruble has continued to rise, and then this money is in exchange against the US dollar and the German mark, the volatility of the entire London foreign exchange market is very strong, they think it is affected by the Dota plan, so they called to ask. William replied.

"Chinese, could this be done by Zhou Ming's Chinese?" was Davier's first reaction.

Meta was not in a hurry to make any conclusions, he still asked William: "The London Exchange is a well-established market, there is a strong anti-speculation mechanism there, and no one will allow any large sums of money to manipulate the market.

William nodded and said: "The result is from the North Russian side, using an account of the Union Bank and the Securities Company on the London Exchange. ”

"What do you mean? Is it the account of the Northern Russian Securities Company on the London Exchange? How is this possible? Didn't the Northern Russian Securities Company be forcibly shut down yesterday?"

Davier immediately asked in surprise, and although Meta did not speak, he also showed a very confused expression, and he did not understand what was going on.

William said: "The London Stock Exchange says this is a trading procedure that has been set for a long time. ”

Hearing this answer, Maita was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that those Chinese have been prepared for a long time!"

Davier, on the other side, thought carefully about it before reacting and said: "So those Chinese took advantage of such a loophole? They are simply shameful scoundrels!"

On the contrary, William, who came to deliver the news, was a little hindsight: "Why did those Chinese kidnap the North Russian Union Bank and the securities company to help them exchange foreign currency and new rubles by taking advantage of the setting of the beginning of the transaction? But isn't this a violation of the president's order? How dare they help those Chinese play this side-kick, aren't they afraid of annoying their president?"

"Because of the interests. Davier said the fundamental core in one sentence, "The person in charge of the securities company is a Northern Russian businessman named Ilbedov, and the Union Bank is also his industry, if he helps Zhou Ming to make this transaction, then such a large amount of money in and out of his bank can help him create a lot of interests, and I believe that there must be other interests between them." ”

But in the end, Davier was also puzzled, and he said uncertainly: "It's just that I'm curious, now that this old ruble has obviously been spent, why is the Cherf market still so hot? Could those Chinese naively think that we can't notice?"

This may be the reason why he is looking further. Meta said.
