Chapter 338: Planting the Flag

Serralvo Island, quiet night,

Li Jiani was rolling excitedly on the bed with her mobile phone, and the praise on the Internet simply made her heart flutter!

"So happy, huh?" Lotus walked in with a smile on her wet hair. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Of course!" The big girl fluttered numbly. The off-white suspenders, the pure white cotton panties, and the white body glow seductively under the reflection of the light.

The lotus shrugged and sat down in a chair in the corner.

Li Jiani shook off the cloth and tied it around his neck, and chattered while rubbing the clattering scissors: "Let me tell you, many people on the Internet say that we will become an earth-level chaebol!" ”

"Earth-level!" She clicked the scissors hard.

"And there's a cosmic level, huh?" The lotus flower is clear and tasteless. Wealth no longer means much to him at the moment, but more of a means of balancing. What he needs is technology, technology that excites him.

"Yes!" Li Jiani began to make up her mind, "In the future, we will plant flags on the moon and Mars."

"Eh~~" Lotus interrupted her fantasy, "What is the flag?" Where did we get the flag? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes??" Lotus was really surprised this time, how could this woman have everything?

Seeing this, Li Jiani hurriedly put down the tooth scissors, and happily ran to the bedside to open the dark pavilion and began to flip...

"Look!" She took out a piece of black cloth and shook it open, and introduced with her eyebrows: "This is our flag!" ”

"You—" Lotus didn't say anything, he beckoned, "Come, show me." ”

"Pick up the flag!" Li Jiani howled inexplicably.

The corners of Lotus's mouth twitched, and she took it with embarrassment. Pure black with two horizontal blue stripes. The upper left corner is embroidered with a pale blue planet, surrounded by a huge light-colored star ring. This is clearly the pattern that I got from the ruins!

"Tsk, good handiwork." Lotus rubbed the flag in his hand, his eyes flickered, and he slowly handed the arrogant black flag to the triumphant woman, and said with a smile: "Put it away." ”

"Hey, hey.." Li Jiani stroked her hair a little shyly, and after hiding the baby, she clicked to work again.

....

12 June, Mexico City, Presidential Palace.

Felipe sat in his chair with a gloomy face, and he was almost ready to consider applying for emergency loan assistance from an international financial institution.

Mexico's North American trade market with the United States and Canada is also in shambles. The core U.S. is experiencing a subprime mortgage financial crisis, and Canada's market has been hit by crude oil. Mexico is the worst, a double blow to crude oil mining. Now that foreign capital has withdrawn in large numbers, Mexico has had to use its foreign exchange reserves to cover its huge foreign trade deficit.

In '94, Mexico's foreign exchange reserves were only $17 billion, so it didn't withstand the pressure.

But now they have $180 billion in foreign exchange reserves!

No one, not even the Mexican government, would believe that such an economy would fail overnight.

Unlike 14 years ago and now, the decline in Mexican stock indices did not implicate Latin America as a whole. On the contrary, the stock market of graphite-producing countries, mainly Brazil, is booming.

It's embarrassing, because Mexico has always felt that it should play with the United States and Canada, but it doesn't really get along with other Latin American countries like brothers.

The situation in Mexico today is clear,

First, the shock to crude oil, this is a worldwide shock, and they don't have any solution.

Second, the shortage of graphite, centered on the decline in the stock market of several large domestic mining groups, has led to the economic decline of other industries.

Third, foreign capital withdrew, and in '94, about 20 billion foreign capital flowed into Mexico. But now in 2007, as a free-market economy, the Mexican market is now receiving 500 billion foreign investment!

Solution,

First, stabilize the crude oil market. But this can't be.

Second, I paid 100 times the liquidated damages to the Lotus Group, but I really couldn't pay it.

Third, the stock market should be stabilized with foreign exchange reserves, but it will not be able to cover this huge deficit at all.

Moreover, only when the first and second articles work at the same time can they have the effect of rescuing the market.

And the root of all this is their good neighbors! Eric of Seralvo Island!!

"Your Excellency, I think we can try to contact Franklin." Economy Minister Halldo said softly.

Franklin! Felipe had a headache when he heard the name, and he really couldn't figure out what this man was thinking.

Foreign capital frantically withdrew, but he took it one by one. From the graphite crisis to the present, it has received 60 billion US dollars! In just four days, the 60 billion has evaporated by at least 50%! However, he had no intention of stopping.

It can be said that without this money, the Mexican stock market would have collapsed much faster.

But the tide doesn't change because of one person.

"What the hell does Franklin think?" Felipe couldn't help but ask. He certainly doesn't think this man is calling Mexico home. Although he helped during the financial crisis of '94, he also acquired the island of Serralvo.

Halldo pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "Your Excellency, if Eric and Franklin have reached some agreement. So.."

Eric! Felipe subconsciously wanted to scold when he heard this name. He took a deep breath, steadied himself and began to think along with Halldo's train of thought.

It is already difficult to achieve the effect of bailing out the market with conventional methods. But the unconventional way: . . As long as Eric reaches a cooperative relationship with Mexico, the foreign investment withdrawn will inevitably return. When the Mexican stock market recovers, Franklin's 60 billion low-priced stocks may not be able to make a lot of money, which is equivalent to Eric and Franklin taking away Mexico's foreign exchange reserves!

But why? If it were two Franklins, then Felipe would approve of it. But Eric is different, what is money for someone like him who has mastered key technology?

"Ah," Felipe sighed, rubbing his temples, "Franklin, please." ”

....

Serralvo Island, LH headquarters.

"Eric." Franklin walked in with a ruddy face, he hadn't found this state in a long time.

"There's news from the Mexican government?" Lotus sat on the chair and said with a smile, this old man has been in LH for 4 days...

"That's right." Franklin was overjoyed, "Felipe wants to see me." ”

“ok。” Lotus breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he opened the drawer and took out a pre-prepared contract, "Take a look." ”

Franklin gave a quick glance and nodded with a smile, "Yes, but I have a request." ”

"Oh?" Lotus was slightly surprised, "What request?" ”

"If all goes well," Franklin said with a smile in his eyes, "you should recognize dual citizenship here, right?" ”

"What do you say?"

Lotus smiled, he stood up and looked at the island through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but his gaze remained in one direction. There, there lived a lively little girl. (To be continued.) )
