Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle on the Top of Red Square (Part I)
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle on the Top of Red Square (I)
The Red Square building is one of the most famous skyscrapers in Northern Russia, and for many places, a name can mean a lot, and the name here is the same as a Peugeot place, which alone is enough to explain the status of this building in Christian.
The Red Square building is also different from the general North Russian architecture, it does not have the old onion roof model, although the onion roof style is not impossible to put on a skyscraper, but the style here is the same as the Wall Street, very modern style skyscraper.
In the conference room on the twentieth floor of the Red Square building, the atmosphere was very dull, and more than a dozen people were sitting here, but they were all bowing their heads and silent, frowning, all waiting for something in their hearts.
These people are not ordinary people, Ilbedov, the most influential president of the United Bank in the North Russian business community, sits in the upper seat, as do other North Russian business tycoons who have risen with the wave of privatization reforms in North Russia. It can be said that the dozen or so people in this conference room have directly or indirectly controlled at least more than 30 percent of the wealth of a large country of this level through this privatization reform.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and they all looked towards the door in unison, and then the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly ran in, this person everyone knew, he was Ilbedov's secretary.
But the secretary didn't have time to greet the others now, so he walked briskly to Ilbedov and whispered a few words in his ear.
Seeing him like this, everyone stretched their necks at once, obviously very concerned.
Ilbedov nodded lightly after listening to the secretary, and then waved his hand to let the secretary leave, and then he looked up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now my secretary told me that our President of North Russia, Mr. Nikolavich, has signed an order announcing the establishment of a financial securities company and agreeing to the beginning of the implementation of a floating exchange rate for the ruble in line with the world. ”
Hearing Ilbedov's words, you can clearly feel the change in the mood of those people at the scene, some of them gasped, and some of them breathed a sigh of relief. But no matter how their feelings change, one thing is for sure, and that is that they are all waiting for this news.
They are waiting for this news, which does not mean that they do not know this news, on the contrary, because they are all born out of the system and are still inextricably linked in the central government, they have actually learned about this news through various connections, and it is precisely because of this that they are all gathered here today. But no matter how prepared they were, the feeling was completely different from hearing the news with their own ears.
"So Mr. Ilbedov, that is to say, the Western countries are also going to do it?" asked Sergeevsky, a roommate tycoon who was sitting in Ilbedov's hand.
Ilbedov thought for a moment and said: "If I am not mistaken, the Western countries must have done it a long time ago, and the rest of the matter must have been unexpected for us." ”
As soon as Ilbedov finished speaking, someone below laughed and said: "Mr. Ilbedov, has he been communicating with that Chinese for too long? He has also learned the bad habits of the East? What is the surprise, don't those Western countries have that ability? Can't we join forces?"
This statement made Ilbedov stunned for a moment, and he also shook his head helplessly in his heart, because the sentence just now was indeed what Zhou Ming told him, and because someone happened to ask, he said it casually. Unexpectedly, it was immediately heard, what these people thought was not difficult to guess, they didn't like Zhou Ming, even if Zhou Ming was a very capable person, they didn't want to recognize him, and they wanted to prove their excellence.
Ilbedov's answer, though reasonable, was also very surprising to everyone, and as if to prove his words, before his words fell, the door to the conference room was opened again, and his secretary hurried in, this time Ilbedov told him to speak to everyone.
"Oh no! As soon as the securities company opened this morning, some people were frantically selling the ruble, and now in just half an hour, the ruble has already depreciated by more than 30 percent!"
The secretary's words were like a stone thrown into the water, and immediately caused waves at the scene, and everyone's expressions were very panicked, and there was no longer the arrogance when he questioned Ilbedov just now.
"How can this be? The ruble has depreciated so much in just half an hour?"
"My God, I must be dreaming, and it's a very nightmare, how could such a bizarre thing happen?"
"Can't we even afford a piece of brown bread today? What is going on? Why is our ruble like this?"
"I really should have joined Project Dota sooner and thrown away all my property sooner, so that at least I could keep my money instead of becoming nothing like now......"
The people below shouted word by word, everyone's expression was very confused, and some people regretted themselves.
Ilbedov sat in his place and watched them coldly, watching these people perform in a panic, and Ilbedov understood their feelings, because he himself was the same. They are all the new super-rich people in North Russia, although they are all wealth obtained by means, but after all, it is their wealth, and now they suddenly hear that the ruble is depreciating, and the wealth in their hands will also shrink, how can this not make them feel sad, how can it not make them panic?
Especially when they have only become rich, and they are about to go bankrupt in a few days after this privileged day, how can they be willing?
"Mr. Ilbedov, what do you think we should do?" someone suddenly asked.
Someone took the lead, and the others followed suit and asked, "That's right, Mr. Ilbedov, since you just said that the Western countries have already taken action, you must have seen the current situation and are ready for it, right?
Some people asked a question, and naturally some people agreed, and they raised their arms and shouted: "Mr. Ilbedov, since we have now formed an alliance, we should be unanimous with the outside world, so we will do whatever you say Ilbedov, and we can't let the conspiracy of those Western countries succeed!"
Ilbedov sat in his seat and listened quietly, the reason why they are sitting here today is because they have formed an alliance.
This incident began with the Kulen banquet, when Zhou Ming's speech at the banquet was very successful, he aroused the fighting spirit of everyone on the scene, so that everyone had to fight for their wealth, and it was from that day that this North Russian business alliance was established, and to this day, it is the sixth day of this business alliance.
However, although the name is called the North Russian Business Alliance, in fact, there are officials, scholars, artists, and so on and so on all kinds of uneven identities, it is no wonder that now the privatization process of North Russia has just begun, everyone is the eight immortals across the sea to show their powers, and it is not surprising that they have various identities, and their business alliance is mainly in response to Zhou Ming's plan, in order to fight against the upcoming Dota plan.
To put it bluntly, it's to fight for your own money!
Ilbedov himself is the same, and he may be a little more unlucky than them, because their main industry is industry, and they all have real factories, but here they are banks, and they are the places where financial problems are at their fault, and they must not afford to lose.
After all, the Soviet Union has been leaving finance for a long time due to institutional reasons, and now they are suddenly asked to deal with Western countries that already have mature financial means, which obviously makes them completely unsure of what to do.
Scratching his bowed head, Ilbedov said, "Everyone is right, that's why we're here today, and there are some problems that we need to figure out together." ”
As Ilbedov's words were thrown back, the conference room fell silent, and everyone looked at Ilbedov with embarrassment, or looked at each other at a loss, obviously they didn't know what to do.
In the silence of the conference room, someone suddenly said: "If only that Chinese were here, I think he would definitely have a way." ”
This sentence immediately resonated with others, and someone immediately echoed: "Yes! It was this Chinese who saw the Dota plan in the first place, and it was he who let Mr. Nikolavich out of the White House to have a tank speech, and he also had a face-to-face confrontation with Mr. Davier. ”
Listening to the words of these people, Ilbedov really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Ilbedov could think of it with his toes, and the Chinese in their mouth was Zhou Ming. I never thought that just now, it was the same people themselves who just said Zhou Ming's words, and they were ridiculed by them, and now that they have encountered a problem, they remember that Zhou Ming is here, such a before and after expression, it is really shameless that people have nothing to say.
Ilbedov shook his head and said softly: "Please rest assured, I informed Mr. Zhou Ming of today's meeting, and I believe he will come soon." ”
Hearing Ilbedov say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, as long as Mr. Zhou Ming comes over, he will definitely be able to help us think of a good way! I think that in the conference room of Hotel No. 1, people as powerful as David were all suffocated under Zhou Ming, and seeing him like that, Mr. Zhou Ming must be much more powerful than him, and there must be a way to help us!"
Just as everyone was talking enthusiastically, there were footsteps outside the door, and it was Ilbedov's secretary who entered.
He came in and said to everyone, "Mr. Ilbedov, and everyone, Mr. Zhou Ming is here!"
