Chapter 339: The Final Deal

"I didn't expect you to be in New York, but it saved me a lot of effort."

In Washington, D.C., when Bell Stone rushed to the White House, he heard that Andrew . Brian said with a smile on his face, "We're meeting again, Mr. Chung." ”

"My pleasure!"

Zhong Shi was confused, and he didn't know anything about the purpose of being urgently summoned to the White House, but since the other party was summoned, he categorically had no reason not to come, so he immediately replied politely, and then asked, "I don't know what this time I came for?" ”

"Rest easy, rest for a while."

Bringing Bell Stone into an intimate meeting room, Andrew Brown. After Brian asked someone to bring coffee, he said unhurriedly, "I don't know what you think about the current international economic situation?" ”

"Takami doesn't dare to talk about it!"

Zhong Shi touched the slightly cool coffee paper cup, pondered for a moment before slowly spit out a word, "Not good." ”

"Oh?"

Andrew. Brian suddenly sat up straight, looked at Zhong Shi with a fierce gaze, and asked loudly, "Why do you say that, is this your own analysis or did you hear something?" ”

"Both!"

Zhong Shi took a sip of coffee and explained slowly, "The two poles of the world economy are the United States on the one hand and Europe on the other. In the US, the problem is that the economic recovery has not met expectations after the QE stimulus, signs of improvement have come to an abrupt halt in the past few months, and future monetary policy may need to be restarted, which will take time. ”

"Needless to say, on the European side, the cloud of the debt crisis has been hanging over them, and the economic data has already begun to show a significant decline in growth rate, and it will be for some time to come, and even longer. None of the data in Europe will look good. Of course, don't expect them to drive the growth of the world economy. I even think that it is very likely that the ECB will open the QE policy and learn from the American side. ”

"In emerging markets, with the exception of China, several other major economies have made slow progress in this wave of recovery. Some time in the future. It is quite possible that the dependence on the main growth of the world economy has shifted to the Asian region. But it's not realistic to bet solely on Asia. ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense, and it's a great addition to our thinking."

After listening to Zhong Shi's explanation, Andrew . Brian digested it for a while, and then he said meaningfully, "At present, there are rumors in the market that the Federal Reserve will implement the QE program, and to be honest, we are also studying this matter, although it has not yet been decided, but some people are inclined to implement quantitative easing again." ”

"On the other hand, there is Europe. So far, Europe has been growing despite a slowdown, much to the displeasure of the president. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhong Shidao, "Is there a way to continue to let Europe's debt crisis continue to ferment?" ”

"General election?"

Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked. "Is the reason why Mr. President is not satisfied because of the general election coming next year?"

"Not bad!"

Andrew. Brian nodded. "On the debt ceiling issue, the Republican Party has blocked it in every possible way, trying to make the president lose points on this matter. For this reason, they also bought off the rating agencies, and did not hesitate to kill the enemy by killing 1,000 and losing 800 to pull the president into the water. This is the only way to resolve this crisis. However, in the coming period, if the president fails to deliver a stellar economic data answer, next year's election will still be difficult to cope. ”

"Maybe you think the whole thing has nothing to do with you, but I'm going to tell you, if a new president comes to power. In order to improve relations with Europe, there is a high probability that you will be thrown out, and this is not alarmism, but a real possibility. Now the situation is that we are on the same ship, and it is up to you to decide what to do. ”

During the conversation, he kept staring at Zhongshi's face. When it comes to Republicans buying rating agencies, Andrew Brown. Brian found that Zhong Shi's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and the chill in his heart suddenly became even worse.

Bell Stone didn't know anything about it.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to plan it well!"

Zhong Shi touched his chin and groaned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "So far, the situation in Europe has been temporarily stabilized, and if you want to start another large-scale chaos, this will not be possible in the short term. ”

"Is there no other way?"

Andrew. Brian asked again, "Regardless of the long term or short term, as long as it can divert the focus of public opinion, and by the way, I think it should be very easy to hit the European economy." ”

Naturally, he was quite dissatisfied with Zhong Shi's answer, so he took another step closer and asked him to express his position now.

Although he was very puzzled by the urgency of the other party, Zhong Shi didn't think about it, he patted his thigh lightly, and began to think about what to do to be able to meet the other party's request.

"There it is!"

After a long time, his eyes lit up, and he said tentatively, "Mr. Brian, you should be aware of what happened in Greece recently, right?" ”

"Greece? What's up? ”

Andrew. Brian subconsciously asked rhetorically, but then he understood and asked, "Is it a matter of exchanging new debts for old debts?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Shi nodded, "But the whole problem is more than that. The leaders of this country, who seem to have a bit of a problem in their brains, always want to challenge the whole world through some extreme or side-kicking way. Although they have been rescued, they are always trying to rebel against certain European policies, which makes all parties very unhappy. If you want to make a splash in the short term, I think it's the best place to do it in this country. ”

"How do you get them to act stupidly and then make a splash?"

Andrew. Brian smiled at the fact that Bell Stone had come up with such a solution in such a short period of time, but then another question came to his mind, "Do you mean through our power?" But frankly, with the influence of the US government there. The ability to make them make stupid decisions is almost minimal. ”

"And more importantly, if we intervene, the European side will see this as the most direct provocation. In the last Irish incident, they have already expressed serious dissatisfaction with us through official channels. So it's impossible for us to make a move this time, otherwise it will cause big trouble. ”

After affirming Bell Stone's plan, Andrew . Brian was also quick to deny the possibility of government involvement.

For his practice of wanting to make meritorious contributions but not wanting to contribute. Zhong Shi felt the urge to stretch out his middle finger to the other party, but he still endured it, and just said lightly, "This matter does not need the government to come forward, and I happen to have some information on this." ”

"Material, what information?"

Andrew. Brian's eyes narrowed suddenly, and it took him a while to return to normal, and he asked without changing his face, "It's about the Greek government." Or is it something else? ”

"It's about their prime minister!"

Zhong Shi replied unhurriedly, "Some of their family's materials on corruption and violations, including money laundering, criminal violations, and election manipulation in offshore financial centers. ”

"You have these?"

Andrew. Brian's cheek couldn't help twitching twice, and he was quite surprised in his heart, "So, you have your eyes on today, so you have collected materials in advance?" ”

"No!"

Zhong Shi also did not expect that these materials would come in handy on an occasion like today. He briefly explained what had happened at the Atlantic Casino. Then he said, "Just in case." So I found some materials for their family, but I didn't expect to be able to use them on an occasion like today, which is really a bit unexpected. ”

When Bell Stone was at the Atlantic Casino, a man once coerced him into licking his shoes, which was later confirmed to be from the Papandreou family. In order to prevent their retaliation, Zhong Shi commissioned the Blackwater Company to conduct a comprehensive investigation of their family. After more than a year, he finally got the materials this year.

"Since that's the case, then you can choose a time to launch it!"

Hearing this, Andrew. Brian was so happy that he patted Bell Stone on the shoulder happily. He said, "Just pick a time to start, and the president and I will wait for your good news." ”

But to his surprise, Zhong Shi remained motionless and had no intention of agreeing at all.

Slowly, Andrew. The joy on Brian's face vanished, and he sat down with a solemn face, staring at Zhongshi for a long time before finally asking, "Tell me, what do you want to exchange these things for?" ”

Originally, he thought that as long as it was a request made by the government, Zhong Shi and others would not hesitate to implement it. But after seeing Zhong Shi's attitude, he suddenly realized that the other party was already a guy with a different heart, and how could he be willing to obey himself and Washington.

Zhong Shi's explanation is that the information he has worked so hard to collect, and the other party has to use it in a word, which is really a bit unreasonable. You must know that this world is an equivalent exchange, and if the other party wants to trade in this way, he will definitely not accept it.

"I would like to say a little bit about Italy and Spain!"

Zhong Shi's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a flat tone, "As far as I know, the central governments of Europe are very reluctant to see a debt crisis in their two countries. So at least in the short term, if there is any problem in Greece, it will only be an itch of scabies, and it will not shake the foundation of Europe. From this point of view, the information I have is actually very limited. ”

"But if we throw this thing out when the wind is tight in countries such as Spain and Italy, then the lethality of these things will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times, so that we can achieve the effect we want. But all this will take time, at least not in the short term. ”

"No way!"

Andrew. Brian flatly denied it, but the next moment he slowed down his tone and said, "The momentum for the new presidential election will start in October, so this matter cannot be launched later than December, that is, it can only be launched within this year." Otherwise, the general trend will be gone, and there will be no point in launching it again. ”

"That's ......"

Zhong Shi frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed, but also put forward a condition, "But this matter is the last thing I will do for the U.S. government." ”

"What? Do you want to quit? ”

At this time, Andrew. Brian's face unsurprisingly showed a look of surprise, and after a while, he said slowly, "Is this the result of your deliberation?" Do you know what it means to quit at this time? ”

"I know very well."

Zhong Shi looked at the other party, his eyes clear and firm, "I know what I'm doing." And I don't think the debt crisis in Europe will continue to ferment in the future. Since I don't have a chance, it's better for me to quit at the right time. ”

"I need to discuss this matter with the president!"

Until the end of the conversation, Andrew. Brian didn't agree. (To be continued.) )
