Chapter 170: Let Life Find Its Way
"There is a big difference, after the 25th, many of the hits of this kind of article are between a few thousand and ten thousand, and at most only twenty or thirty thousand, which is very weird." Li Dingbo said.
He also took a course in psychology, knowing that human beings will not neglect to pay attention to the problems related to survival because of the short free time and happy time in front of them, but will pay more attention to the problem of survival itself because they have more free time. In this way, the Christmas and New Year's holidays should be the node where the number of clicks on this type of article skyrockets, rather than the big decrease in the number of clicks seen!
What's going on? Can anyone give an explanation?
"300 billion euros minus 270 billion euros, which is exactly 30 billion euros from Greece, are you saying that the Greek government will take off this debt of Cyprus? No, 30 billion euros is not a small amount, my brother knows the account, and Cyprus will not agree even if it is close to Greece. Without this debt, Cyprus' economy will inevitably collapse, becoming another fuse for Europe's financial explosion after Greece, and the EU will not sit idly by. Li Dingbo said.
"It's not as serious as you think, it's all in the hands of the EU. Cyprus' GDP is 25 billion euros, compared to 13 trillion euros in the EU, and the size of the economy is only 0.2% of the EU's. Even if the sky falls in Cyprus, there will not be a single wave in the EU. Chen Chumo said.
"Broken bones and tendons, Greece will not dare to ignore the life and death of its own 'son'. I think that even if Greece is forced to pay its debts to Cyprus, it will be a paid debt, and it will not watch the death of this son of Cyprus. Li Dingbo said.
"There are no eggs under the nest, and the Greek government has a lot of shit and urine behind its own ass, which cares about this son of Cyprus. However, they were not so ruthless as to watch their son die, but secured an EU bailout fund of around 17 billion euros for Cyprus. However, the EU has actually provided only 10 billion euros in financial aid to Cyprus, and the rest is collected by the country's deposit tax of about 10%. Although this is more than 10 billion euros less than the 30 billion euros that Greece has lost, it is certainly not enough to deal with the domestic funding gap in Cyprus. In order to prevent the entire economic and financial system from collapsing, the Cypriot government can only lose its car and attack the country's banking industry. The Greek government can rely on the debts of Cyprus, and the small and widowed people of the Cypriot government do not dare to trouble other countries, so they can only rely on the government debts of their own banks, or increase the government's fiscal revenues by forcibly restructuring the banks. Chen Chumo said.
"I think this seems like a conspiracy, huh? Saving people half-dead, so as to reap the benefits of it, is similar to a black hospital. Li Dingbo said.
"It's a conspiracy! The capitalist countries are mercenary, and they will not only divide the profits of Greece for the next 30 years, but will also take complete control of the entire destiny of the small country of Cyprus. Chen Chumo said.
"To control the fate of Cyprus? The EU's bailout policy towards Greece and Cyprus is essentially a war of aggression, a financial war without gunpowder. What is the difference between the war of aggression in World War II, it is outrageous that the EU has acted like this. Li Dingbo said.
"Cyprus is only a small country with a population of one million, and the benefits it creates are only mosquito meat, and the EU does not look down on it at all. The reason why Greece has gone to great lengths to control it is that the main purpose of the EU is to deal with Russia, another ally of this small country! Chen Chumo said.
"The total amount of deposits in Cypriot banks is 68 billion euros, of which more than 20 billion euros are deposits of Russians. If the country imposes a deposit tax and restructures its banks, Russia will lose more than 6 billion euros directly. Not only that, the Bank of Russia also holds about $40 billion in cross-border credit positions in Cyprus, and the banking and financial controls imposed in Cyprus will prevent $55 billion of funds from flowing back to Russia, greatly reducing the asset quality of Russian banks. Chen Chumo said.
"How dare a small country in Cyprus disobey the superpower of Russia, isn't it seeking death in doing so? Even if the Cypriot government is forced to regulate banks in the face of a dire situation, they can always find a way to compensate Russia and never let Russia's $55 billion freeze in the country. Li Dingbo said.
"Of course, the Cypriot government will not easily offend the giant bear of Russia, and in order to appease this large Eastern European country, the Cypriot government has decided to compensate Russia with the issuance of public bonds worth $400 billion from natural gas fields on the southern coast." Chen Chumo said.
"Russia is not short of natural gas, its own natural gas is very abundant, and it is begging the Chinese government to buy it. Isn't it a disguised sale for Cypriots to use natural gas to pay off debts? Li Dingbo looked at the problem very sharply, and immediately exposed the careful thinking of the effect of the Cypriot state.
"Yes, Russia is not stupid, how can it agree to a loss-making deal with barter! The Russian government has spoken out that Cyprus is a 'theft' of the property of the Russian people, and that their practices are 'unfair, unprofessional and dangerous'. In response to the EU's bad practice of holding Serbia hostage to attack Russia, Putin the Great imposed an asset tax on a large number of European companies stranded in Russia to counter the EU's financial attack on Russia! Chen Chumo said.
"Who is the dominant country?" Li Dingbo asked excitedly.
Although the weak countries deserve sympathy, it is indeed a wonderful financial game, and the EU's dominant countries have completed the invasion of weak countries and launched an attack on the hostile country Russia without much effort.
"Of the EU's 500 billion euros in stable funding, Germany accounts for 30 percent." Chen Chumo replied.
"Germany and Lao Maozi have always looked at each other unpleasantly, but this trick is really beautiful." Li Dingbo said.
"Now that you've figured out the ins and outs of the European debt crisis, what are you going to Cyprus for? This is a game between major powers, and this kind of major event is not something that we, ordinary people, can participate in casually, so I advise you not to go. Li Dingbo said worriedly.
"I'm just trying to understand the real state of life of the Cypriot people at the moment, and I'm not asking you to carry a gun to fight, as for the nervousness. Maybe it's time for us to witness the outbreak of World War III, or not? Chen Chumo said with a smile.
Under coaxing and deception, Li Dingbo and Chen Chumo flew to Cyprus, a small European country.
Perhaps because it is still the Christmas and New Year holidays, the spirit of the Cypriot people is not as pessimistic as Chen Chumo imagined, and people all over the country are happily celebrating the holidays, and there is a relaxed and happy atmosphere everywhere.
After three days of research on the streets of Cyprus, the two returned to the capital, Nicosia, to meet.
"Did you find anything?" In a restaurant, Chen Chumo and Li Dingbo chatted while eating.
"It's strange that in the shadow of the bond crisis, the people of Cyprus are too calm and not so worried and panicked about the future prospects." Li Dingbo said.
"If you look at this set of data, it just goes against what you came to the conclusion." Chen Chumo said and pushed the laptop in front of him in front of Li Dingbo.
This is the withdrawal data of depositors and customers in 20 bank branches in the six administrative regions of Cyprus for half a month, which clearly indicates the amount of cash withdrawn by 20 bank branches every day, as well as the amount withdrawn in the same period in the past five years. In the past half month, the amount of withdrawals has been much higher than before, and the daily withdrawal amount after entering the Christmas holiday has been close to ten times the limit of the same period in the previous year.
It can be seen that the people of Cyprus are very disgusted with the imposition of a deposit tax by the government, and their pessimistic view of the country's debt crisis is common and serious. It stands to reason that they should be worried, but why can they still smile and not worry about their future jobs at all?
"Where does the data come from? Is it authentic? Li Dingbo asked incredulously. Such a contradictory performance of the Cypriot people made him very incomprehensible.
"It's absolutely true and reliable, and I bought the data from inside the bank at a high price." Chen Chumo replied.
"Look at these articles again." Chen Chumo opened a website page and pushed the laptop in front of Li Dingbo again.
The original location of the articles was in Greek, but Chen Chumo used translation software to translate them into English. The headlines of the articles are exaggerated, such as 'Will we be the last citizens of Cyprus?' 'Debt crisis, Cyprus needs a financial miracle!' 'Where is God?' Please don't let us be outcasts of Europe! And so on, and before I read the content, I deeply felt the fear in the shadow of the Greek debt crisis, and I shuddered.
The headlines vary, but the content is unified, with the first half of each story focusing on the recession of Cyprus and the second half asking whether the Cypriot government has enough wisdom to guide the Cypriot people out of the bond crisis and revive the country's economy. The articles have attracted the attention of Cypriot netizens, and the number of hits on each article ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
"The 1.1 million people in Cyprus read so much of each chapter shows that they are still very concerned about the bond crisis in their country." Li Dingbo said.
"Look at the other ones." Chen Chumo clicked on the keyboard a few times.
"There's nothing new about it, the content is similar to the ones just now." Li Dingbo took a quick look.
"These articles were posted after the 25th, and the ones just now were posted before the 25th, so you compare them with the number of clicks." Chen Chumo said.
