Chapter 761: Christmas Eve is Not Peaceful 2 (Second Update)
Marty Juhani couldn't help but be stunned, Kalinen, like many Finns, is usually very introverted. In the first two years, when there were not so many tourists and letters, the two of them often didn't say anything in the office all afternoon, and sat all afternoon.
"What's wrong?" said Marti Juhani apologized to Zhang Chen, turned his head and asked Kalinen.
Kalinen's face flushed, obviously excited and excited, and he pointed to the radio that was broadcasting the news in Finnish: "Do you hear that? The Rakshasa stock market crashed today! It is said that a high-ranking official of their country held a press conference and said that the fiscal deficit data released by the Rakshasa government was falsified, and the real statistics were 7 percentage points higher than the published figures. Haha, the Rakshasa stock market is finished, maybe the situation will be worse than when the damn Soviet Union collapsed, it's a perfect Christmas. β
Although the Finns do not hate the Rakshasa as much as the Estonians, they also have the experience of being invaded and occupied by the Rakshasa in history, and almost every Finn has no good impression of the Rakshasas, and the antagonism between the two countries is somewhat similar to that of China and Dongying. It is understandable that Kalinen was so happy to hear the news.
In other countries, an ordinary post office worker may not be able to understand the news. But Kalinen not only understands it, but also understands what it means, which shows how educated Finns are.
Marty Juhani was also very excited to hear the news, and deliberately translated the conversation he had just had with Kalinin into English.
"Khodorkovsky is indeed the only conscience oligarch of the Rakshasa who is said to be the only one who has not come to Finland to spend money in luxury stores, but unfortunately, even if there are such people, it will not be able to save the fallen Rakshasa . Marty Juhani couldn't help but comment.
Before Zhang Chen could speak, Matti Juhani heard Natalie's rebuttal: "Have a conscience? I think this Khodorkovsky is a politician through and through, and he is also the black-hearted kind." β
Marty Juhani paused for a moment, "Miss, why do you say that?"
Natalie was a little angry: "As a Rakshasa oligarch and high-ranking official, wouldn't he not know that his actions would make many Rakshasa bankrupt?"
Matti Juhani said with relief: "This is what the Rakshasas deserve, whether it is Tsarist Russia or the Soviet Union, there are many crimes to mention, we have been oppressed by them for more than a hundred years, and our life at that time was much more miserable than theirs." β
"Moreover, Khodorkovsky simply revealed the truth. It is really remarkable that there was still such courage under Yeltsin's cruel rule, he was a warrior. β
Marty Juhani defended Khodorkovsky.
Natalie was angry and worried: "Even if he wants to reveal the truth, it shouldn't be at this time." Before Christmas, so many ordinary people lost their savings, jobs, and homes overnight... All wealth may disappear and the family will go bankrupt. It's winter now, and the Rakshasa winter is even colder than here, where do you let these innocent people who have lost their homes go to spend the winter?
Marty Juhani heard Natalie's reprimand, and a look of shame appeared on his face. Having been educated in universal values since childhood, no matter how much he hated Rakshasas, he always had sympathy for the suffering of civilians, which is also the consistent direction of Western political correctness.
"Yes, I'm sorry... IβI didn't expect that. Marty Juhani blushed and stammered.
Natalie glared at Marty Juhani, and although she was wearing sunglasses, Marty Juhani still felt Natalie's contemptuous gaze, and her face was hot.
He felt that his conscience was being tormented.
Matti Juhani bit his lip and said resolutely: "I will buy a ticket to Tallinn now, and after purchasing enough supplies locally, I will transport it to Rakshasa, although my personal strength is very meager, but at least I can save the tragedy of several families." β
Although this practice is somewhat naΓ―ve, it is also a kind of human kindness.
Zhang Chen patted Natalie's hand and said to Marty Juhani: "I'm sorry, my girlfriend is just a little angry. Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and continued: "In this way, if you really want to go, you can go to Tallinn to contact this person." β
With that, Zhang Chen tore off a sticky note hanging on the wall of the post office, took out a pen from the inner pocket of Archaeopteryx's winter-proof suit, wrote down a string of phone numbers, and marked a name.
"You can find her in Tallinn, and I will call her and ask him to buy fifty truckloads of daily necessities to meet you in Tallinn. It is more meaningful and effective for you to transport these supplies to Rakshasa with him and distribute them to civilians in need than if you went on your own. Although it is also a drop in the bucket, it is always more powerful than you alone. β
"Dianne Modric?" Marty Juhani silently read the name on the note, and looked at Zhang Chen for some reason.
Zhang Chen smiled: "This is the person in charge of my company's branch in Tallinn, I will explain the situation to her, don't worry." β
Matrix has already set up a branch in Tallinn, covering the markets of the three Baltic countries and Eastern European countries such as Ukraine and Poland.
Of course, these countries currently have limited market capacity, but Zhang Chen also needs a front and base in this region in case of emergency.
Matti Juhani looked at Zhang Chen in a daze: "Ah! I know, you are the one... Seeing Zhang Chen put his index finger on his lips and made a shushing motion, Marty Juhani hurriedly covered his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't tell the difference between Asian faces, I really didn't expect you to come to such a small place." β
Marty Juhani couldn't hide her excitement, Natalie glanced at Zhang Chen funny, but she didn't expect that it was not herself as a movie star who was recognized first, but a capitalist like Zhang Chen who got into the eyes of money.
"I'll definitely do it well!" Marty Juhani held the note written by Zhang Chen with a resolute face, "Zack, you and your girlfriend are good people, very, very good people, Jesus Christ will definitely bless you." β
Zhang Chen glanced at Natalie with a smile, he was an atheist, Natalie was a Jewish, and neither of them believed in any Christ, "Marty, you are also a good person." Hope you are doing well. We still have something to do, so let's take our leave, goodbye. β
"Hey, you say, are there really a lot of people who are homeless?" said Natalie, still worried, as the two walked hand in hand in the snow, looking at the stars at the zenith and the Christmas tree full of lights from time to time.
Zhang Chen was also a little silent, if nothing else, it would not take a week for Rakshasa to announce a debt default. At that time, the Rakshasa will not only collapse in the stock market, but will also trigger strong sanctions against the Rakshasa by Western countries, and the life of ordinary Rakshasa people will be even more difficult.
Although Rakshasa's own problems are the root cause, it is his layout in it that detonates Rakshasa's financial crisis in advance, and advances the crisis that should have erupted in late summer and early autumn to the present.
Rakshasa is different from Xiangjiang, no matter how difficult Xiangjiang is, as long as the people themselves don't want to die, at least they can live. But Rakshasa is different, it may just be a sudden cooling, and it may freeze to death many homeless poor people.
Moscow has a population of 10 million, and in this winter, at least tens of thousands of homeless people who have lost their homes will suddenly appear, and these tens of thousands of people are tens of thousands of lives.
"Maybe. Zhang Chen sighed, he was not hard-hearted, as the initiator, of course he was even more uncomfortable in his heart.
"Nat, after Christmas, I want to buy 5,000 houses in Moscow and St. Petersburg and give them to the homeless for free to spend this winter. Zhang Chen was silent for a while, and then said suddenly.
It was already dark, and Natalie had already taken off her sunglasses and stared at Zhang Chen with wide eyes, even if the housing prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg were cheaper, even if it was only $30,000 a set, it would cost $150 million.
"I didn't need so much, I thought about it, on the one hand, after this incident broke out, housing prices in St. Petersburg and Moscow would plummet, and on the other hand, since it was a temporary place for the homeless, the location and the quality of the house did not need to be too good, and the suburbs would also be fine, where housing prices would be cheaper. It only costs about $80 million, and it should be done. β
Natalie suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Zhang Chen's neck, and imprinted it on his lips.
It's so slippery, so tender...
The protagonist is buying a house, and I'm also buying a house, coincidentally.
I hope you don't lose anything.
