Chapter 1473: wack

From this day on, the mysterious middle-aged man has lived in the guest room of the Shao’s mansion. Butler Zheng now knows that his name is Xu Zhengping. He almost stays at home except for seeing two Shao Liu Apart from the two young people that the Lord is particularly optimistic about, he has never seen other guests.
This Xu Zhengping seems to be particularly concerned about current international affairs. Liu Ye specifically ordered Zheng Guanjia to send all current affairs and financial newspapers and magazines available on the market to him every day, and he reads these things every day. , And make a presentation by myself.
What a weird person.
This is the evaluation of this middle-aged man by all the staff in the Shao's mansion.
...
"What are our kids doing lately?" Bush asked Director William.
"On the surface, he has been relatively leisurely recently, perhaps because he just got his PhD and wanted to relax, and Vivienne happened to be pregnant. He basically stayed with his girlfriend at home during this time. I rarely go out, even the office."
"I don't think our little friend is someone who can be free." Bush muttered for a moment and said: "He has arranged so many methods in the former Soviet Russia, and now it is time to harvest, how could he be indifferent? ?"
"As you guessed, Mr. President." William Joseph Casey sent a small flattery before reporting: "Just a few days ago, there were many serial links on the highway from San Jose to San Francisco. The car accident, and the culprit of all this was a Chevrolet "Pioneer" registered under the name of a certain Chinese, said to be "stolen". At the time of the incident, the San Francisco Police Department sent a helicopter to this car. The car was followed, but unfortunately, they did not get any effective results except for being shot and exploded in the searchlight. The car eventually rushed into the San Francisco Bay from the Golden Gate Bridge, and the salvage of the car was not working. It’s in progress, but I estimate that even if it is recovered, there is not much useful information available. Before this series of accidents were caused, there was evidence that the car had stayed in front of Eric’s residence for a period of time. Although this was completely denied by Eric’s butler, Kevin, there is another thing. According to our observations and conclusions, at present, the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" controlled by "Red Flag Capital" has gathered a large amount of ruble cash through various means. , Your Excellency, gentlemen, I am afraid I do not need to specify what these rubles will be used for?"
President Bush turned to his security adviser after pondering for a moment: "Brent, what do you think?"
Brent. Scowcroft owed his body slightly on his seat and replied: "I just heard about the serial car accident. I can't comment on it. But regarding the other situation that Director William said, we Everyone knows that Eric made his fortune in the foreign exchange market. He and his team are very sensitive to changes in the international exchange rate market, and very accurately grasped the timing of several major exchange rate changes. I think he is the same this time. ."
Bush asked in a puzzled manner: "The huge decline in the exchange rate of the ruble against the US dollar is an inevitable result. Brent, if you follow your point of view, he shouldn't be short the ruble in the market at this time, right? Then he What do you do with so many rubles in cash?"
"Because these rubles are not his, but he borrowed them." Brent replied: "According to the information provided by Director William, we can see that he flew to Kiev just after the Gulf War was over. After that, the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" obtained ruble loans from the Uklan private storage or government-run banks by raising interest rates. Essentially, these were the ruble loans carried out by the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank", and the With the constant fall of the ruble exchange rate, he will be able to easily pay off these debts with only a small amount of U.S. dollars. This is a very simple arbitrage method."
"The problem is not how he pays these debts, but how he spends the rubles in his hand." Director William couldn't help but said aloud: "We all know that large-scale viciousness is taking place in the former Soviet Union republics. Inflation, what can he buy with these rubles? Brent, tell me your guess and see if it’s the same as mine."
Brent did not answer immediately, but looked at his student, the former Soviet-Russian Affairs Department, now the director of the "CIS" Department of Affairs.
Condoleezza. Les knew that this was the chance that the teacher had left her to perform in front of the president. She nodded gratefully at Brent, and then replied: "Mr. President, Director William, gentlemen, me and My teacher believes that Eric is most likely to buy only one thing with these huge rubles of cash. The former Soviet Union has shares in enterprises!"
Director William nodded in satisfaction and said: "It seems that we have reached a consensus."
"Baker, what's your opinion?"
Secretary of State James Addison Baker replied:
Mr. President, I agree with this judgment. At the same time, I also need to point out that Eric’s behavior is seriously inconsistent with the interests of the US. We have spent decades and spent It took a huge amount of funds to achieve today's results. Now it is time for us to get compensation. Who should get this compensation and how much compensation should be left to us, we don't give it, others can't take it without authorization! "
Bush nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Mr. Baker’s statement was very in line with his wishes, but the opinion of one person present is also very important. Although this government only serves as an economic adviser in the current government, he controls the family. The consortium is one of the wallets of the Republican Party, and it is still the biggest and most inspiring one, so it is still necessary to listen to his views on this matter, but he has too many entanglements with the interests of the young Chinese.
"Skaff, what's your opinion?"
Skeff. Mellon's mood now is also very conflicted.
On the one hand, he knew that he was working in the "CIS" countries, especially the new Raksha Federal Republic, which represented a huge interest, and his family was deeply involved. On the other hand, he was also involved. Knowing that once the White House makes a decision, then the last little friendship between him and the young Chinese man will come to an end, and the family's interests in China will inevitably suffer.
For the huge Mellon family, if the plan being implemented within the "CIS" countries is a battle and a short-term economic plunder, then in China, the Mellon family made long-term strategic investments. , Because under the influence of that Eric, the family and Skeff. Mellon himself is optimistic about the long-term improvement of China's economy. Therefore, Mordu Rockwell has carried out long-term cultivation. After several years of hard work, it has penetrated into all aspects of China's industrial modernization process. At present, it has occupied the first place in China's automatic control market. In addition, Westinghouse Electric and Goodyear Tire & Rubber's business in China are also progressing smoothly. In the foreseeable near future, these companies will definitely Can get extremely rich returns!
These are all benefits obtained after he and Eric reached a comprehensive cooperation, and they are also benefits that he and his family cannot give up anyway.
After a long time of weighing, Skeff. Mellon gave his answer.
"I agree to intervene in Eric's actions in the former Soviet Union, and I can warn him if necessary, but I still do not agree to take any radical actions against him. In any case, he is still not Our enemies, what we are now fighting over is the right to dispose of the huge assets of the former Soviet Union."
Bush nodded lightly, thought for a while, and turned to the CIA director and said: "I respect Mr. Mellon's opinion, William, what do you think of letting the IRS visit our children? His business is so big. , It’s impossible to be clean, right? After all, some people say that the IRS is the most powerful law enforcement agency in our country. What do you think of William?"
