Chapter 45: Protest
The public bond auction ended, and Zhou Erqiang sent Carl away and returned to the conference center, "Why are you still here?" Seeing that Deng Yuanhuai was still sitting in the hall, Zhou Erqiang could guess what he meant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What about the heat? What about snapping? Nothing! Deng Yuanhuai saw Zhou Erqiang come in and jumped up from the chair.
"Pay attention to the tone of your voice, I even invited Prime Minister Karl of the League of Nations government, what else do you want? With his appeal he did not sell more than 2000 bitcoins! Zhou Erqiang was also angry, a businessman dared to talk to him like this.
Deng Yuanhuai made up his mind that he couldn't play with the official in front of him, "You let me be a trustee and I will be it, according to such a market, don't expect the price of public bonds to rise, we can only subscribe in RMB, but we can't sell Bitcoin!" ”
"You, you ......" Zhou Er was speechless.
Carl was also very angry when he sat on the plane, and the financing of only 20,000 bitcoins on the ground network in the Central Plains was unfavorable, and it was really unimaginable how the astronomical investment in the next twelve space power stations would be settled.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the survey data has come out, and now the confidence in private sector investment is still insufficient, and entrepreneurs are still desperately trying to store cash and have little willingness to invest in industry." Jerry is indeed much more capable, and as soon as the Zhengzhou meeting ended, he arranged for someone to figure out the reason behind it.
"Damn! We have to find a way to force the money out of their pockets, otherwise the economy will continue to be so sluggish, and even the four percent union tax will not be collected! You and I have to drink the northwest wind. Carl was tired, and he closed his eyes.
"Mr. Prime Minister, there is an emergency!" Carl was just about to fall asleep when Jerry woke him up again, and Jerry handed him a video of the front of the League of Nations building in Geneva.
People of all colors gathered in the square, "Quantum computer! Quantum computers! Give him a quantum computer! Each of them held up a store-bought 1:1 model of Liu Weiping and shouted slogans, and Swiss police lined up to block them out of the League of Nations building.
"What's going on?" Karl asked, frowning.
"I contacted the office just now, it was Liu Weiping who was dissatisfied with the slow speed of the quantum computer in place, and leaked the internal meeting minutes on the social platform, which angered the people who lost their bitcoins, some people have been registered for several months, and there is no explanation, they may point the finger at you, do you think it is arranged to land from other places?" Jerry didn't rest, he had already made the situation clear.
"No, wouldn't it be nice to land in Geneva?" Listening to Jerry's report, Carl's frown furrowed again.
Winter in Geneva is unusually cold, with snow on the summit of Mont Blanc in the distance, and a row of ice edges hanging from the wings of a parked airplane at the airport.
But outside the airport, it was hot, and the crowd shouted loudly, "Karl step down!" Karl step down! The water they exhaled immediately formed Xiaoice beads on their beards.
"Give me back the bitcoins, pay me back the bitcoins!" A topless girl pounced on Carl with paint spraying her chest with the three words she was shouting. Led by her, the crowd caused a commotion, and someone from behind followed him and surrounded Carl.
"Mr. Prime Minister, we have prepared a car for you at the other exit." The captain of the guard ran up and guarded Carl tightly.
"No, let's take the tram back to the League of Nations building!" Carl said, looking at the tram stop in the distance.
"It's too dangerous! We can't guarantee your safety. The captain of the guard pushed aside the men who rushed up.
"I want to see how angry they really are, so I decided that you would give me a way to get on the tram." Karl's position is not changeable.
The secret service officers, led by the captain of the guard, squeezed into the crowd, surrounded Carl in the middle, and slowly walked outside. "I have the same idea as you, I support Liu Weiping! Let's go, let's go to the Union Council together! Karl shouted, but the noisy crowd couldn't hear what he was saying.
Finally squeezed into the tram, countless people surrounded it, the tram could only move slowly in the crowd, Carl opened the window, the captain of the guard didn't know where to get an electric horn, Carl shouted to the crowd that followed, "I understand your feelings very well, I am also a victim, but I didn't have time to register, I support Liu Weiping from the heart, you should go to the Alliance Building, where you can directly support Liu Weiping, in order to get back your bitcoins!" ”
It was only six kilometers from the airport to the League of Nations building, and the tram stopped and stopped, and more and more people followed, until when they reached the square of the League of Nations building, the tram had no way to move forward, and Carl and his party had to get out of the car, and he jumped on the car with the help of his entourage.
"Let's shout slogans together!" Carl took the horn and raised his left fist, "Give me back the bitcoins!" ”
"Pay back the bitcoins!" The attendants shouted at the top of their lungs. "Give him a quantum computer!" Carl raised his fist again, "Give him the quantum computer!" At the encouragement of his entourage, the nearest crowd began to keep pace with Carl.
"Liu Weiping! Liu Weiping! Karl's voice was louder, and after a few rounds, a neat sound radiated from the tram in all directions, shaking the snow from the trees and falling down.
"You come up and lead them to continue shouting slogans!" Karl pointed at the captain of the guard, pulled him onto the roof of the tram, and shoved the horn in his hand to the captain of the guard, and Karl jumped off the tram and walked into the League of Nations building.
Liu Weiping hid in the foyer of the League of Nations Building, and the reaction of the people was so fierce that such a result exceeded his initial assessment, and he did not know how to end it.
"Councilor Liu, see it, these people outside are all your supporters, they hold so many models of you in their hands, but none of them are real!" Carl saw Liu Weiping in a daze, and greeted him, "You should be with them!" ”
"You mean I'm protesting with them?" Liu Weiping asked suspiciously.
"Yes, you should support them, to this point, you have no way back, you must stand with them!" Carl dropped the sentence and entered the video conference room.
Liu Weiping hesitated for a moment and opened the door, seeing the cute thing coming out of the League of Nations Building, the people in the square were boiling, and the approaching crowd threw down the model in their hands, ran up the steps, hugged Liu Weiping, and threw him into the air.
"My charging coil! Don't grab my charging coil! Liu Weiping turned up the speaker to the highest level, and it seemed that only he could hear himself, and no one in the frenzied square could hear what he said. Liu Weiping curled, with his hands behind his back, tightly guarding the charging coil.
Karl sat in the conference room, and the heads of state of the countries that actually owned the quantum computer turned pale, and looked at the surveillance camera footage on the top of the League of Nations building without saying a word.
"Now everyone has seen the situation in Geneva, and if Liu Weiping goes further, these protesters will not gather in the League of Nations, but will rush in front of you." Carl shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.
"What do you think of the international media? What do you say about the selfishness of the great powers, the division of the fruits of victory after the war, the disregard for the life and death of the whole world, the conscience of heaven and earth, the quantum computers of our East Russia are all made by themselves! The East Russian president's beard trembled.
The prime minister of Kansai has always been suspicious of Karl, "I think it was because the League of Nations government was not well controlled, which could have been avoided." ”
Hearing him say this, Karl was unhappy, "I'm just an errand appointed by the League of Nations Council, you can choose a more suitable person!" "Carl came for real, he took off the League of Nations badge at the collar of his suit.
The president of the United States of America, seeing that the atmosphere was so stiff, proposed, "It seems that it is not a way to stick to quantum computers, this is the same as nuclear weapons in the past, the United Nations insists on nuclear non-proliferation, what will be the final result?" India, Pakistan, and North Korea all have nuclear weapons, but they are not controlled, and they have triggered a nuclear war, and I think it is better to lift the ban on quantum computers. ”
There was a silence at the conference table, "Limited lifting of the ban, South Korea only agrees to a limited lifting of the ban, only for the League of Nations to restore the use of Bitcoin!" The South Korean president gritted his teeth and showed his cards.
The people in the square were still chanting slogans, and there was a sound of dripping, and someone took out their mobile phones to see that Carl's speech was pushed onto the screen, "Look, there is progress!" The people lowered their heads, the square gradually fell silent, and the frightened pigeons flew back.
"According to the consultation of the emergency meeting of the League of Nations, it was decided that in accordance with the request of Chairman Liu Weiping, some countries will provide their quantum computers for the inverse operation of Bitcoin!" The square erupted in cheers, and the pigeons that had just flown back were frightened and flew away with a lump of droppings.
Liu Weiping was thrown higher, he suddenly felt a blur in front of him, he reached out and wiped it, the image in the camera was disgusting, and his hands were full of pigeon droppings.
As long as the first step is taken, there will be a second step, and quantum computers will quietly spread to the world, which is the general trend of the times that cannot be stopped. And that's exactly what Carl wants to see, the world's sluggish consumption is in need of an epoch-making product upgrade.
The railgun at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center successfully pushed a one-ton payload into low-earth orbit, but it did not arouse the market's enthusiasm for the Central Plains Ground Network bonds, and to make matters worse, some countries could not even afford the 4 percent alliance tax, and instead asked the League of Nations for financial support. Karl desperately needs a clear sign of technological progress to spur a flagging global economy.
In May of the 14th year of the year, the regular plenary meeting of the League of Nations had just ended, and Karl found Liu Weiping, "Mr. President, how is the progress now?" Is there a phased announcement to explain to the world? ”
"It's not unreasonable for you to think about it, there are still cases of lost bitcoins in various places, which may also have something to do with the proliferation of quantum computers, and if you increase the budget by a tenth of the budget, there will be a breakthrough at the end of this month, and the first batch of stolen bitcoins will be restored." Liu Weiping's pressure is very high, and the people in the committee are basically watching the excitement, but fortunately, the development of things is moving in the direction he expected, and the idea of inverse calculation is correct.
"As you have seen at the Plenary Assembly of the League of Nations, it is now beyond our means, and it is impossible to increase the budget, so we can only wait." Carl's words made Liu Weiping sigh in disappointment.
"Mr. President, now I can't even make out the difference between your pronunciation and that of a human." Karl changed the subject, "Mr. President, what do you personally think of Bitcoin?" ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Weiping saw that Carl suddenly asked such a brainless question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Anything."
"Well, I'm going to think about it." Liu Weiping's words made Carl laugh, "It turns out that quantum computers also need to think, this is the first time I've seen it." ”
"Bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency that is encoded through cryptography and produced under a large number of calculations by complex algorithms...... Liu Weiping subconsciously memorized the encyclopedia definition.
"What I need is your personal opinion, Mr. President." Karl interrupted Liu Weiping.
Liu Weiping was silent for a while, and after a while he said, "I have no personal opinion, I can't be regarded as a real person yet, I can only quote the views of human society." ”
"So what do you think is the biggest problem with Bitcoin?" Karl asked promptly.
"Is it deflation?" Liu Weiping remembered a speech made by the Beijing representative of the League of Nations Congress, who pointed out that the choice of bitcoin as the global reserve currency was a mistake in itself, and he believed that the root cause of the world war just experienced was the global recession, and the root cause of the global economic recession should be counted from the 2020 San Francisco agreement, and it was the contractionary nature of bitcoin that made the global economy stagnant, and the Beijing representative proposed to abolish bitcoin.
The speech of the Beijing representative set off an uproar, Liu Weiping took the lead in opposition, his restoration of bitcoin work has just seen some hope, but there must be no more variables, last winter's protest rally can frighten Liu Weiping, and sooner or later be thrown into the air will damage the hard disk in the body.
"Beijing representatives have not yet grasped the crux of the problem, the biggest feature of Bitcoin is that the currency and the state are no longer linked, obviously, human society has not evolved to this point, the state still exists, not less, but more." Karl shook his head.
"Isn't there a League of Nations now?" Liu Weiping asked.
"The League of Nations is also essentially a state." Carl left Liu Weiping alone to meditate.
In the summer of 14 years, Carl visited Beijing, shortly after returning from Beijing, he convened the General Assembly of the League of Nations, and the Beijing representative formally submitted a proposal for the establishment of the World Bank, according to the plan designed by Beijing, the World Bank will issue a new credit currency Union currency, the Union currency is based on the blockchain technology of Bitcoin, but the total amount is no longer limited, and the World Bank dynamically adjusts it according to economic development and market demand.
Liu Weiping did not vote in favor of the Greater China region, and he chose to protest silently - abstaining. Back in his office, he connected himself to a quantum computer array that handles inverse operations, and his host computer joined the queue for inverse operations, and Liu Weiping had to solve Bitcoin's trust crisis before the Union coin was born.
