Chapter 261 Big Event
264, Big Event
When old friends met again, Tang Wen could not help but discipline Zhou Hui and Sha Chu a little harder, and the result was that the two of them probably couldn't get up today.
When Tang Wen, who had just gotten up, changed his clothes and came to the living room, Zhou Xu hurried over and said, "Boss, the economy of Neon Country can't hold up."
"What's the situation? Wasn't it fine yesterday?" Tang Wen just lit a cigarette and said with a frown.
Zhou Xu hurriedly explained, "Boss, Neon Country's largest state-owned bank was exposed to have privately used Neon Country's pension to stabilize foreign exchange, resulting in huge losses."
"Oh? How did it get out?" Tang Wen asked curiously.
Logically speaking, the government of Neon Country would not let the general public know about such a big event, so that the foreign exchange would drop faster. The current Neon currency to Huaxia currency is about 25 to 1, and the exchange rate to the US dollar is about 110 to 1.
The ratio of US dollars to Neon currency has always been maintained at about 1 to 103-110. However, with the news that Neon Country suffered heavy losses in pension funds, many institutions began to short Neon Coin.
The news came from an insider who participated in the pension "transaction". During this period, he had been shorting Neon Coin to make profits, but the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Finally, the person in charge of supervision found that he was secretly making phone calls.
So the matter was exposed, and thinking of "breaking the pot and breaking it", he simply told his friends about this amazing inside story. Then the whole Neon Country was boiling.
It has been less than 8 hours since the news broke, but the foreign exchange market in Neon Country opened today. The ratio of US dollars to Neon Coins was quickly hit to 1:120, setting a record low in the past 10 years.
The people saw that the Neon Coins in their hands began to depreciate, so they ran to the bank to exchange them for US dollars. For a time, the Neon Government set a limit on the exchange amount per person in order to maintain domestic stability.
And you must bring proof to the bank to exchange, and the quota for each person is also stuck at 10,000 US dollars. Despite this, the depreciation of Neon Coins continues.
Some profit-seeking businessmen also saw that something was wrong, but there were still only a few who dared to take the initiative. After all, the painful experience of the Korean country closing its doors and "beating the dog" was still vivid in their minds.
So even if the Japanese government gave very "generous" treatment, some international investors have suspended their Japanese projects and chose to wait and see.
Once these people stop, it means a large number of unemployment. In just one morning, more than 60% of companies in Japan and Beijing issued layoff notices.
This made everyone in Japan start to feel insecure. The Yamaguchi Group and the Kawashima Group were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the people in the National Bank would be so bold that they dared to use pensions to stabilize the foreign exchange market.
This is the life-saving money for many people in their old age, but a piece of news that was exposed later made them even more heartbroken.
"Information, information, the National Investment Fund's investment in Europe failed, and the loss exceeded 60 billion US dollars."
Once this news came out, it further confirmed Tang Wen's previous speculation. Neon country originally wanted to make a comeback in the European market, but it seems that they have been tricked again.
And this time the trick is very tricky. The European Central Bank has continuously increased its aid to some "debtor" countries, causing the current euro to begin to depreciate.
Neon country, which has invested in the euro, was dumbfounded. These young people have no moral integrity. Didn't they agree not to care about those encumbrances?
Why did they print money and give them money in the blink of an eye?
This series of huge facts of the European Central Bank surprised many people. The European Central Bank not only continued to print more money, but also reduced the debts of many European countries in one go.
For example, Greece, Italy, France and Sweden are experts in "debt". Especially Greece, which is completely supported by the relief funds of the European Central Bank.
Let alone Sweden, everyone says that they have good welfare. But few people know that they are also a big recipient of relief funds. The purpose of the last meeting of the European Central Bank was to ask these debtor countries to pay back their debts.
But I didn't expect that they not only had no money, but also cried and shouted to the European Federal Reserve for relief funds. The National Foundation of Japan thought that the European Federal Reserve would get rid of these countries this time, and the euro would rise sharply.
What people didn't expect was that the European Federal Reserve actually printed more money to ease the debts of these countries, and the depreciation of the euro was inevitable.
Especially France, don't look at it as the "romantic capital", in fact, it is like a dog skin plaster, you can't get rid of it even if you want to get rid of it.
Although France has a relatively developed industry, their "bloated" efficiency can kill you. Take a normal company to fire a person, at least one and a half years, at most three to five years.
The most bizarre thing is that if you plan to fire him, you can't reduce the salary you should give him before it is officially approved, and you can't reduce the benefits you should give.
In addition, the EU is also very "generous" in the issue of refugee shelters. As long as you are a refugee, you can receive a relief fund every month.
If you are unemployed, the government will also support you and give you hundreds or thousands of euros a month. So many people in France are too lazy to go to work. Anyway, the government will give you money every month, so why go to work?
Eating? Just kidding, there will always be someone to pay you if you lie down on the street, so now the romantic city is full of homeless people. The name of an industrial power has long been in name only.
What? You say you don’t pay? I’m sorry. There will be demonstrations and rallies, especially some French trade unions, which are a headache.
So why no large manufacturers are willing to build factories in France, this is the reason. The workers recruited are even more awesome than his father.
Go to work at 10 o'clock, get off work at 4 o'clock, and have weekends off. What do you mean by overtime? Just kidding, that thing is impossible. It is impossible to work overtime, it will never happen in this life.
So in France, two situations have been formed. On the one hand, illegal workers and immigrants get the lowest salary, and on the other hand, formal workers eat and wait for death all day long.
What? You want to fire me? That's great, the role of the trade union has been played. If a factory targeted by the trade union dares to fire employees, then you will have to pay a lot of compensation.
Employees who join the union in France are the most untouchable existence. 15% of their annual salary is handed over to the union as a "protection fee". As long as there is something that involves their interests, the union will come forward to help them settle it.
Therefore, formal employees working in France are all fathers. If they are employees of the union, they are no different from ancestors. Therefore, France, which seems to have a developed industry, has a debt ratio that is no lower than that of the bankrupt little prince in Greece.
You must know that Greece is the first place in history where the people "fired" the royal family. At the same time, the "enthusiasm" of the Greeks, who are used to being casual, is really the type of working for three days and drying the net for two days.
What Neon Country did not expect was that the European Federal Reserve was willing to continue to support such a few "idiots", and Neon Country's investment would be caught in the trap.
In fact, the "loss" of only 60 billion US dollars is just a small matter for Neon Country. But what worries the people most is why the pension money was used.
You must know that the fate of the last Silla country that used pension funds to speculate in gold is still in front of us. So everyone obviously distrusts the government of Neon Country at this time.
"Boss, do you think we need to short sell?" Zhou Xu asked.
Tang Wen smiled and said, "Why not short sell? They are sending money to our door, why don't we accept it? By the way, let Jesse show his face this time and show his presence. By the way, let's follow up on the European side."
"Okay, boss, I know."
Pay attention to the market in Europe, just because there are a bunch of "idiots" over there. The European Federal Reserve thinks it can win over many people, but in fact, Europe is now in "chaos".
The continuous influx of refugees and the increasing number of unemployed people, the current European Federal Reserve can no longer take care of it without printing more money. Not to mention that the people of several small countries are already "very dissatisfied".
The European Federal Reserve keeps following the United States to stir up trouble, but the European Federal Reserve is responsible for cleaning up the mess. And these people are constantly grabbing some social welfare, which makes many people dissatisfied.
So there have been several demonstrations on the European Federal Reserve side recently, and the people demanded that the government improve their treatment. But now the European Federal Reserve has been "dragged" into a difficult situation.
You should know that there are a lot of organizations of the Virgin Mary on the European Federal Reserve side. Even if you kill a chicken or a duck, there will be a lot of people coming to trouble you, let alone unloading this mess.
Italy and Greece are very cunning and began to use force to drive away some illegal immigrants, and even gave them tickets to let them change their route to Germany.
For a time, the European Federal Reserve has endless excuses for shirking responsibility. Especially in France, it has become a black ocean.
The former romantic capital no longer exists. Now in France, there is definitely no one on the street after 10 pm. Those who dare to go out alone are brave.
The danger of the French capital after 10 pm is no less than some slums in the United States. So during this period, France's tourism industry has also plummeted.
Many countries have even explicitly listed the French capital as a "not recommended" dangerous area. The French capital can be said to be bustling with traffic during the day, but it is empty at night.
The French who dared to go out for a drink before now stay at home obediently, because there have been many "vicious incidents" recently, and no one wants to go out.
But despite this, there are still some fearless people who dare to go out for a walk, so the French police start to be very busy at night.
Back to Japan, the unemployment rate here has directly led to a sharp rise in the number of people going to the sea. Especially the experience of some single mothers is even more miserable.
According to the survey, the number of single mothers in Japan and Beijing is as high as more than 30,000. These people are the first targets of layoffs because they have to cut costs, so they are unemployed.
Even the "hard-working" social animals have a very miserable "encounter" this time. The names of many employees of Japanese companies who have worked for more than 10 years appear on the "list" of layoffs this time.
There is no way, Japan is an island country and many Japanese people live on foreign trade. But under the current turbulent exchange rate, how many companies dare to do business with Japan?
So many people are unemployed again as expected. Of course, these unemployed people are called the lowest level of "social animals" and they are often the first to be abandoned.
The Japanese government, sensing something was not right, began to try to save the situation and took the initiative to contact a number of foreign consortiums hoping that they would lead the investment to stabilize the "uneasiness" in the country.
WF Group was also on the invitation list this time.
"Mr. Jesse, we implore WF Group to continue investing in Japan. Of course, we can talk about the loan rate, land or tax we can give you."
In Jesse's office at WF Group, a Japanese government official was begging Jesse. The man named Yukimura was an official from the Customs Department. In order to retain WF Group and foreign consortiums, they could be said to be "desperate".
Now, there is no other way to reassure people except the investment of these large consortiums. If even these large consortiums are unwilling to invest in Japan, let alone small businessmen.
Everyone is not a fool. When there is no first person to eat crabs, everyone chooses to stay put. Businessmen can wait, but Japan can't.
Every second late, that is the loss of billions of Japanese coins. They really can't bear it.
"Mr. Yukimura, this loan rate is still a bit high. It's a bit unreasonable to invest 20 billion US dollars, and our taxes are still so high. I think three years of tax exemption and five years of tax reduction by half is a more reasonable choice." Jesse said with a smile.
Yukimura's face was very ugly when he heard this. The conditions offered by Jesse were not harsh, but "robbery". Not to mention the five-year tax reduction by half, the three-year tax exemption is an astronomical figure.
Moreover, WF Group is a well-known "financial expert". The annual tax is an astronomical figure. Although the tax exemption is for the Japanese branch this time, it still makes them very painful.
Seeing Yukimura's embarrassed look, Jesse smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that Mr. Yukimura feels it's not right? That's fine. Anyway, our group's main business is concentrated in China and the United States. What about Japan? It doesn't matter whether you invest or not. Someone, please show me around."
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Jesse, please wait a moment. I'll call the leader to ask for instructions. Please wait a moment." Seeing Jesse's indifferent expression, Yukimura finally got anxious and raised his hand to signal.
After a while, Yukimura walked into the office anxiously and said to Jesse, "Mr. Jesse, we have agreed to what you said. Please hold a press conference as soon as possible."
"Of course, happy cooperation." Jesse smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Thank you for your support." Yukimura quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jesse.
This scene was constantly staged in the offices of major financial groups. In order to maintain domestic stability, Japan has invested heavily this time.
According to Jesse, Morgan and Rockefeller's requirements for them are more stringent than Tang Wen's. There is no way, who can let him be the "father"?
Tang Wen was too lazy to care about these little things. What he cares about now is the special surprise that Ma Piaoliang prepared for him tonight.
Although Tang Wen is not in China during this period, he is not slow to be on the hot search. Although many domestic artists do not know him, they have all heard of him.
So when they learned that Tang Wen was going to go there tonight, many people were still a little happy. However, how to choose people is still up to Ma Piaoliang and Xiaolu.
While Ma Piaoliang was busy, Zhang Siqing seemed a little deserted. Ma Piaoliang's method was really very clever, and she attracted Tang Wen for several days without making a sound.
Now Zhang Siqing seemed a little restless, so she also planned to take the initiative. So she called a few new members and planned to go to the cruise ship tonight to PK with Ma Piaoliang.
The leader was going out for PK, so Yang Ying, who had been in the limelight recently, would naturally not fall behind. Not only that, she also enthusiastically called her best friend Mizuhara Kiko to "help" her.
The group headed towards the cruise ship in a mighty manner.
Ma Piaoliang has already started to arrange the staff for the evening. Xiaolu laughed and said, "Isn't that little bitch Zhang Siqing laughing this time? Haha."
"Hehe, she's too young to fight me." Ma Piaoliang said disdainfully.
In the hot spring resort, Tang Wen was teasing his silly bear "Dabai". Yes, it was the little polar bear he adopted at a high price. The adoption procedures have been completed.
Now this little polar bear is Tang Wen's little pet. Dabai is very clingy. Whenever he sees Tang Wen, he will stupidly crawl to Tang Wen's feet and hold Tang Wen's legs and shake his head, which is very cute.
"Let's go, Dabai, let's go for a walk." Tang Wen picked up the little polar bear and walked towards his Rolls-Royce. Dabai, who came to the car, moved around very curiously, and bit the armrest with his little teeth from time to time.
But it was separated by the solid wood armrest, and the little face was very depressed, so he climbed on Tang Wen's body and yawned to rest. Although the weather in Tokyo is very cold now, the little guy doesn't care at all, but likes it a little.
Tang Wen held the little fur ball and sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and drove towards his cruise ship. Ma Piaoliang has given Tang Wen too many surprises in the past few days.
Tang Wen is also very satisfied with the transformation of the cruise ship. Not to mention those "special" scenes, even the uniforms on the cruise ship are Ma Piaoliang's masterpieces.
What makes Tang Wen most satisfied is the "group actors" found by Ma Piaoliang. With these people, it is also a very "emotional" existence, and Tang Wen is full of praise for this.
Tang Wen, holding Dabai, began to browse the news. The recent artists on the tail number were obviously "depressed". Perhaps it was because of the current strict censorship in China, which caused many artists to not receive notices.
So everyone became "indifferent" to the maintenance of the tail number. However, Tang Wen really didn't have any good seedlings to discover recently.
After browsing the tail number for a while, Tang Wen found that his internal message was already 999+, so he curiously clicked in to take a look.
As expected, there are all kinds of people in the world. Because this tail number frequently interacts with Xiao Wang and Qin Feng, almost every day someone sends Tang Wen some messy things.
What is asking for support, what is husband, look at her body, and some even directly send photoshopped photos, which made Tang Wen very speechless.
Just as Tang Wen was bored and browsing the information, the car slowly stopped at the dock. After JA got out of the car and guarded, he opened the car door and followed Tang Wen to the top of the cruise ship.
"Honey, look at the surprise we prepared for you today." Xiaolu and Ma Piaoliang held Tang Wen on the left and right and walked towards the top floor.
"Fuck, is this the legendary tram-style decoration?" Looking at the decoration in front of him that looked like a tram, Tang Wen was stunned.
"Yes, are you satisfied, honey?" Ma Piaoliang flattered.
"This is something that Dabao and I spent a lot of time thinking about." Xiaolu also took credit for it.
Before Tang Wen could speak, JA reported to Tang Wen: "Boss, Miss Zhang Siqing is here."
"Oh?" Tang Wen turned his head curiously.
"Bitch, she's even here." Ma Piaoliang and Xiaolu's eyes flashed with hatred.
