Chapter 310: Prime Minister Eric
"National debt ......"
When the news broadcast the imminent issuance of the Nord Kingdom's treasury bonds, Charlie understood everything, and this was a compromise given by his father on the things he chose to insist on. At this moment, Charlie began to hesitate, was he a little excessive? To disrupt Dad's deployment because of some face problems, the king of this country is still Dad, not himself, to do this......
Charlie wasn't too worried about the king's position, he just felt sorry for Joseph, but then he put those worries behind him, because he thought that he was the right time to prove everything.
is still a character who refuses to admit defeat, but such a character almost brought disaster to the Nord Kingdom, and at the same time made Charlie's position as the crown prince further crisis.
In 2005, Google and Dell went public, and at the same time, the huge liquidity of several major funds in the Americas began to impact the Nord stock market. The first to suffer was Audi, the economic pillar of the Nord kingdom!
At about 9:00 a.m. on August 23, 2005, Audi's shares began to fluctuate up and down seriously, and then finally caused a chain reaction under the frenzied sell-off, a small number of undetermined shareholders began to sell their shares, and Audi's shares depreciated again.
Audi held an emergency board meeting, and after agreeing that 2 billion euros would be taken out to buy the shares sold by citizens in the open market, 2 billion euros was already a lot, perhaps seeing the determination of Audi, the fund in the Americas decided to temporarily retreat, and the first wave of attacks was successfully resisted.
But the matter is not over, at 4:30 p.m., the U.S. Secretary of State held a press conference, this time the press conference is mainly aimed at some overseas vehicles to increase tariffs, the number of policies, Audi, Volkswagen a large number of foreign brand vehicles in the Americas difficult to leave the country.
It would have been nice if it was just that, but at this time, Asia has also added a fire, and needless to say, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, where the United States has considerable influence, and restricting the number of European cars imported is just a sentence. In Huaxia, the United States has made some concessions in some respects, and Audi, a joint venture between Novartis, has been inspected by the industrial and commercial departments.
At the same time, the Chinese government seemed to be preparing to buy back a large number of shares of state-owned enterprises in the hands of Gao Jingxuan, and under the call of the State Council, various companies began to inject capital, separate, and issue additional shares in response to this matter.
After some tossing, the companies in Huaxia, which were originally worth tens of billions of pounds, shrank by nearly one-third, and Gao Jingxuan had no choice but to go to Huaxia to discuss this matter.
The final result of the negotiations on the 3rd was that the Chinese government invested 12 billion pounds to buy back all the shares held by Gao Jingxuan in the hands of petroleum and petrochemical, China Construction Bank and China Mobile Unicom.
The repurchase case of this scale is handled quietly, otherwise Gao Jingxuan, who is worth 20 billion euros, will instantly become one of the richest people in Europe, but this is not a good thing for Gao Jingxuan, because if you hold those shares. Then the fame and dividends brought are far from being comparable to these 20 billion euros.
At this time, these shares of Huaxia add up, Gao Jingxuan can receive more than 2 billion euros in dividends every year, and 20 billion is only ten years, not to mention the influence it brings to Gao Jingxuan in Huaxia.
It's a loss-making business, but Gao Jingxuan can't help but do it, because the relationship between Huaxia and the Nord Kingdom is not as close as it was a few years ago. This is also normal, after all, there will never be any real friendship between countries, there will only be interests.
More than ten years ago, Huaxia needed Nord, and the Nord Kingdom also needed Huaxia, so they became the closest comrades-in-arms. But now...... China's total GDP is the fourth largest in the world after the United States, Japan and Germany, and the Nord kingdom is also in the top 10, they no longer need to help each other, and they have become competitors because of the relationship between Asia, the European Union, and the Americas.
The Nord Kingdom had helped Huaxia with all its might. But the first time is a deal and the second time represents what it means is self-evident, it is already a good thing that the two sides have not turned their faces, because the Nord Kingdom has pushed China directly into the eyes of the United States, becoming a nail in his eyes to obtain European development opportunities.
Back to the point. Because of the actions of various countries in the Americas and Asia against Audi, even Nord citizens began to worry about the future of Audi at this time, and they couldn't help but tentatively sell their shares. With the help of well-intentioned people, a chain storm soon formed, and Audi was powerless to save it, so it could only minimize its losses.
According to statistics, the thirteen days of Audi's share crash caused Audi's losses to reach 20 billion euros, and Audi has lost the car market in the United States, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and China.
In fact, it was not only the Nord Kingdom that suffered losses, but also Germany and France, so the poor three brothers once again convened a joint meeting of the EU and began to discuss the deepening of EU cooperation.
First of all, the automotive industry, the newly established United European Automobile Company will include Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Citroen several Nordfa brands, the entire United European Automobile Company has a market value of more than hundreds of billions of euros, deserving to be the world's first.
The newly formed company, the Kingdom of Nord, holds 40 percent of the shares, while Germany and France each own 30 percent, and the specific situation is negotiated by each country, and the overall share distribution plan is like this.
If this is the case, then it is too underestimated Charlie's character, he has always felt that he is a little sorry for Joseph in the military project, so he discussed with Joseph that the Nord Kingdom will share the formula of B-level enhancement liquid within the EU member states, and sell some special Chinese herbs at a low price.
Joseph's own idea of sharing the secret recipe of the enhancement liquid, because they are going to build a large military research base in Berlin, and the main research is to strengthen the weapons of the warriors.
The United States did not expect that its actions would actually speed up the progress of European integration, which made the US government regret it, and Britain began to waver, because now it seems that it is in Britain's best interests to join Europe, and there is no future for the United States.
The Empress began to explode her influence at this time, and after several negotiations, Britain first broke through the restrictions of the United States on the manufacture of European car companies, and the newly announced imports and exports were obviously biased towards Europe, and the sudden accession of Britain made the Nord Kingdom, Germany and France very happy.
It doesn't make sense that Huaxia doesn't have A-grade strengthening liquid in the Nord Kingdom, after all, the main basis for this is the ancient Chinese medicine formula from Huaxia, but because of the lack of technology, now Huaxia can only be said to be B+-grade strengthening liquid with the United States.
Foreign affairs have come to an end for the time being, as the 2005 general elections in the Nord Kingdom are approaching, and because of Charlie, the general elections that were supposed to be held on 1 January 2005 have been postponed to 1 January 2006.
Now the Nord Kingdom is Charlie's Nord Kingdom, and Joseph's failure to open his mouth is nothing more than a one-year delay, and Morris, the Speaker of the House of Commons, can only wait for one more year.
At the beginning of the election, the local parliamentarians came to the House of Commons of the Nord Kingdom with the votes that had been counted, and under the chairmanship of Speaker Morris, a truly fair and just ballot began.
The Governor of Western Sahara, Marceau, received 1353789 votes, and 1.3 million votes accounted for one-fifth of Nord's population of 6 million, which seems to be a lot less than last year's votes, but in fact it is not, because this time there are many more candidates, they have made a lot of preparations for this general election, and it is natural to get more votes.
Li Zhishen, the only Chinese cabinet member in Nord and serving as a cabinet minister, also received quite a lot of votes, after all, he was born in the education industry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his incident is publicized all over the world, and it is normal for him to get 800,000 votes.
"Speaker Smith, I don't know if His Excellency Governor Marceau can be the Prime Minister this time."
Smith shook his head: "I think the possibility of Eric's re-election is very high, although the crown prince did not speak, but everyone knows that he is eager for Eric's re-election, especially ...... Although the overall decision was wrong, the salaries of Nord citizens have increased a lot in the past five years, and there are many people who think about the benefits of Eric. ”
The per capita salary of the citizens of the Nord Kingdom has been raised to 30,000 euros, which cannot but be said to be the credit of Eric, but at the same time he also neglects the importance of national defense.
"Prime Minister Eric gets re-elected? But things ...... Audi company."
"But it also contributed to the European Automobile United Company, in fact, the loss of shareholders is not too large, the laid-off workers are relatively good, the engineers and workers of Audi have high skills, and the laid-off allowance allows them to do some small business to support themselves without a problem, even more than the salary of the job."
The assistant was silent, admitting that Smith was telling the truth, but he always thought that things should not be like this, and it was normal for Eric to step down and Charlie to be deposed as the crown prince.
Once again, Smith guessed right, and in the end Eric was re-elected with 1.5 million votes, and it is no lie that Smith was called the most capable prime minister in the history of the Nord Kingdom.
At the same time the Nord Palace:
Hearing the news of Eric's re-election, Charlie was obviously relieved, whether it was Marceau or Lee Chi Sun, they would not be as handy as Eric, because those two were very capable and too strong for him to control.
For Charlie, who is full of power, what he needs at this time is not a capable prime minister but an absolutely obedient prime minister, and he is enough in terms of ability. (To be continued......)
