Chapter 1347: A Small Country, a Big Scale
Zidane smiled and shook his head.
He closed the map on his tablet, opened another email, and put it in front of Shi Lei.
Shi Lei read it briefly, this is obviously not an official letter, it is completely a private email.
"I have always had a good relationship with the country's military, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, his family and my family have been friends for more than fifty years. This was the personal correspondence between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and me. Mr. Shi should have understood the contents of this email. ”
Shi Lei nodded and said: "For the stability of the country's financial order, in the past twenty years, the country's monetary system has been impacted, and the currency has depreciated too quickly. Therefore, now that the political situation is becoming more stable, they want to issue a new currency to replace the old currency. It is also a means of stabilizing the economic situation and at the same time better controlling the power of the country. ”
"It will take about two months before this news is announced. It's just an idea of theirs, and a lot of things haven't been perfected yet. After all, a country's new policy involves a new monetary system, and it must be cautious. The reason why I know this is not directly from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but from my opponent. ”
Shi Lei frowned and asked, "You mean that consortium?"
Zidane nodded and said, "I found out that the consortium is raising a lot of money, and it's cash. Of course, all of them are through illegal channels. As far as I know, they have raised more than 300 billion euros, and this money is growing at a rate of at least 20 billion a day. According to my intelligence, their ultimate goal is likely to be to raise more than 500 billion euros in cash. ”
"You mean, black money?" Shi Lei had nothing to avoid, and asked the word directly.
Zidane didn't pretend to compare, nodded directly, and said, "It's black money." The money mainly comes from three directions, pointing to three consortia in Asia, the United States and South America. But it seems that not long ago, the channels in Asia and South America were cut off one after another, but these two consortia have also contributed a total of more than 100 billion euros of black money to them. ”
"Do you want to say that this consortium wants to launder all this money through the exchange mechanism of the country's old and new currency?"
Zidane shook his head, lowered his voice mysteriously, and said: "It's not as simple as whitewashing, they are in large contact with that country and the organizations and institutions that hold that country's currency, and those organizations and institutions are not aware of the country's currency exchange mechanism, and are even willing to exchange it for euros or dollars at a discount." ”
Shi Lei suddenly understood, and he said: "So, the consortium's move to launder money this time can not only turn black money white, but also make a lot of money from this?"
Zidane nodded heavily and said: "Especially the arms dealers of several surrounding countries, they have too much of the currency of this country, and now they are worried about all kinds of wind." At present, the outside world has a good view of the country's new monetary system, which is 1:30, and a bad statement of 1:100. However, according to the information I have received, after the introduction of the new monetary system, the worst plan of that country is to control the exchange ratio to less than 1:30. In other words, those who hold a large amount of old coins can at least bring in a discounted part of the profit. ”
"But is 500 billion euros such a big deal? As far as I know, the GDP of this country is only about 100 billion dollars. ”
"The EU will give its full support, led by Britain and France. After all, it's a direct profit, and my family is fortunate enough to be involved. To tell you the truth, my family alone will invest more than 100 billion euros. An exchange of less than 1:30 will generate at least 30 billion euros of profit for us. ”
"But the way that Mr. Zidane can show me to make a fortune is to exchange old money with the arms dealers before that consortium?"
To be honest, Shi Lei thinks this is quite ridiculous, after all, the purchase and sale of this country-level monetary system often involves hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions, how much money can he invest in it?
So, although he also knew that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, it was impossible for him to really participate in it.
Zidane shook his head with a smile and said, "If that's the case, then I won't recommend it to you, Mr. Shi." ”
Shi Lei looked at Zidane and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
"Actually, I am not the only one who knows that the country will make changes to the old and new monetary systems, and many people have already set their sights on that country. The only problem is the exchange price between the new and old coins. At present, the old currency is exchanged for US dollars, and the exchange rate is around one to ten thousand. The new regime in Tayastan wants to restore the new currency to its previous exchange rate against the US dollar, which is about 1:300. In such a situation, the ratio of 1:30 between the old and new currencies is a more appropriate position. And its new government, which has the support of the European Union, wants to benefit the people, rather than squandering their life savings under the old and new monetary systems. That will lead to another resurgence of political turmoil that has been stabilised. ”
Shi Lei nodded and said, "I can understand this." Mr. Zidane, let's talk about the results. ”
"Not only the Tayastan government, but also the European Union is nervous when faced with the change of the old and new monetary systems, and they know that this will definitely attract a lot of international money laundering organizations to stir things up. Therefore, the EU and the new government in Tayastan will also crack down on money laundering more than ever before. ”
Shi Lei was silent, but he already had an idea in his heart.
Zidane continued: "The current resolution is that every citizen with Tayastani citizenship will be able to unconditionally exchange old currency with a value of no more than $10,000. In total, the country has a population of just over 30 million. ”
Shi Lei quickly calculated and said, "This is only 300 billion US dollars, even if you pay far more than that." The rest, then, can only be enterprises and national organizations. ”
Zidane nodded and said: "Foreign formal enterprises, the old currency in their hands can be said to be very small, and this does not constitute any impact." However, when the old and new currency systems are interacted, it must also be a top priority, and there will be a series of means to monitor. Therefore, it is not impossible to achieve the purpose of these business organizations, but it is of little significance. Both the volume and the monetization process come with great risk. Indeed, as Mr. Shi said, the rest are actually the enterprises and organizations in China. ”
"Therefore, it is especially important to master these companies. Shi Lei had almost guessed Zidane's intentions.
Presumably, that consortium also wants to infiltrate through these companies and organizations, or this is their main direction of attack, after all, this is better controlled than the huge number of retail investors. ”
Zidane nodded and said, "As far as I know, that consortium is currently secretly buying Tayastan's enterprises on a large scale. ”
