Chapter 1341 Small Country with a Big Size
Zidane smiled and shook his head.
He closed the map on the tablet, opened another email, and placed it in front of Shi Lei.
Shi Lei read it briefly and found out that this was obviously not an official letter, but a completely private email.
"I have always maintained a very good relationship with the military of this country, its finance minister, and his family have had a relationship with my family for more than fifty years. This is a private correspondence between the finance minister and me. Mr. Shi should have I understand the content of this email.”
Shi Lei nodded and said: "In order to stabilize the country's financial order, over the past twenty years, this country's currency system has been severely impacted, and the currency has depreciated too fast. Therefore, now that the political situation is becoming increasingly stable, they want to hair new ones. currency, replacing the old currency. This is also a means to stabilize the economic situation and better control the country's political power."
"This news will probably take another two months to be announced. This is just an idea of theirs, and many aspects have not yet been perfected. After all, a country's new policy involves a new monetary system, so it must be done with caution. Be careful. The reason why I know this is not directly informed by the finance minister, but the information I learned from my opponent."
Shi Lei frowned and asked, "You mean that consortium?"
Zidane nodded and said: "I found that the consortium was raising a large amount of funds, and it was in cash. Of course, all through illegal channels. As far as I know, the funds they have raised have exceeded three thousand billion euros, and this amount is growing at a rate of at least 20 billion euros every day. According to my intelligence, their ultimate goal is probably to raise more than 500 billion euros in cash.”
"You mean, black money?" Shi Lei had nothing to avoid and asked the word directly.
Zidane did not pretend to be a comparison, he nodded directly and said: "It is black money. This money mainly comes from three directions, pointing to three consortiums in Asia, the United States and South America. But it seems that not long ago, Asia and South America Channels were cut off one after another, but these two consortiums also contributed a total of more than 100 billion euros in black money to them. "
"Are you trying to say that this consortium wants to launder all this money through the country's old and new currency exchange mechanism?"
Zidane shook his head, lowered his voice mysteriously, and said: "It's not as simple as whitewashing. They have a lot of contact with that country and the organizations and institutions that hold that country's currency, and those organizations and institutions don't know this. The country’s currency exchange mechanism is even willing to convert it into euros or US dollars at a discount.”
Shi Lei understood immediately, and he said: "So, the consortium's move to launder black money this time will not only turn the black money into white money, but also make a lot of money from it?"
Zidane nodded heavily and said: "Especially the arms dealers in several surrounding countries. They have mastered too much of this country's currency. Now they are worried about all kinds of winds. The outside world is currently worried about this country's new currency system. A better estimate is one to thirty, and a worse estimate is one to one hundred. However, according to the information I have received, after the new currency system is introduced, the country's worst-case scenario will be over. The exchange ratio is controlled within one to thirty. In other words, those who hold a large amount of old coins can at least make a profit from the discount.”
"But, 500 billion euros, is it so big? As far as I know, this country's GDP is only about 100 billion US dollars."
"The European Union will fully support it, led by Britain and France. After all, this is direct profit, and my family is fortunate to participate. To be honest with Mr. Shi, my family alone will invest more than 100 billion euros. One An exchange of less than 30 will generate a profit of at least 30 billion euros for us.”
"But the way Mr. Zidane can point out to me to make a fortune is to get ahead of that consortium and exchange the old coins in their hands with those arms dealers?"
To be honest, Shi Lei thought this was quite ridiculous. After all, the transactions in this national-level currency system often involved hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions. How much money could he invest?
Therefore, although he also knew that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, there was no way he could actually participate in it.
Zidane smiled and shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then I won't recommend it to you, Mr. Shi."
Shi Lei looked at Zidane and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Actually, I and the consortium are definitely not the only people who know that country will change its old and new currency systems. Many people have already set their sights on that country. The only problem is the exchange of new currency and old currency. It's just the price. The current exchange rate of the old currency against the US dollar is around one to ten thousand. However, the new regime in Tayastan hopes to return the new currency to its previous exchange rate to the US dollar, which is around one to three hundred. Under this situation, the exchange ratio of old and new currencies is one to thirty, which is a more appropriate position. And its new government has received support from the European Union. They hope to benefit the people instead of spending their life savings under the old and new currency systems. It will lead to chaos in the political situation that has finally been stabilized."
Shi Lei nodded and said: "I can understand this. Mr. Zidane, just tell me the result."
"Faced with the change of the old and new currency systems, not only the Tayaltan government, but also the European Union is very nervous. They know that this will definitely attract many international money laundering organizations to disrupt the situation. Therefore, the EU and the new Tayalstan government The crackdown on money laundering will also be unprecedentedly severe.”
Shi Lei remained silent, but he already had an idea in his mind.
Zidane continued: "The current resolution is that every citizen with Tayastan nationality will be able to unconditionally exchange old coins worth no more than 10,000 US dollars. This country has a total population of only more than 30 million."
Shi Lei did a quick mental calculation and said: "This is only 300 billion US dollars. Even you have paid far more than this amount. Then, the remaining part can only be enterprises and domestic organizations."
Zidane nodded and said: "Regular foreign companies have very little old currency in their hands. This does not constitute any impact. But when the old and new currency systems interact, it is definitely a top priority. There will be a A series of means are used for monitoring. Therefore, it is not impossible to achieve the purpose through these corporate organizations, but it is of little significance, both in terms of quantity and realization process, as Mr. Shi said. The rest are actually domestic companies and organizations.”
"So, it is extremely important to control these enterprises." Shi Lei had almost guessed Zidane's plan.
"Presumably, that consortium wants to penetrate through these companies and organizations, or this is their main direction of attack. After all, this is easier to control than the huge number of retail investors."
Zidane nodded and said: "As far as I know, that consortium is currently secretly acquiring businesses in Tayastan."
4. Let’s update four chapters first. I know I owe five chapters in total. I’ll see if I can write as much as I can. I can’t guarantee that I’ll finish them all today, but I’ll try my best.
