"Okay, now everyone knows that you were involved." Niu Ru was holding the newspaper and reading it while laughing, "Many people are saying that the richest man is really too lenient, but this is good.
of!"
"Actually, I asked them to spread the word about the suppression," Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Oh, is it to stop others from making decisions in this regard?" Niu Ruzheng asked.
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Maybe there are still many people who don't believe it, but if I crack down a few more times, they will be obedient and do business normally."
"Sure enough, hype like this is different from ordinary hype and should be cracked down on!" Niu Ruzheng laughed.
At this time, Xiao Qi was at Niu Ruzheng's home.
It wasn't because he came here to combat garlic speculation, but because Niu Ru had something more important to discuss with him, and then he mentioned this matter by the way.
Garlic has become a very interesting topic in people's conversations during this time, especially Xiao Qi's move to force hundreds of hoarding speculators to go bankrupt by losing money and spending money. This is even more talked about.
Although Xiao Qi lost a lot of money, some businessmen who wanted to make shady money made very little money, and some suffered direct losses. Those who entered the market to stock up on goods in August this year basically lost more than 50%.
Ordinary people don't have a good impression of this group of guys, and they applaud them one after another for this.
As for those guys who hoarded other daily necessities, they were even more frightened because of this, fearing that Xiao Qi would punish them next.
Along with the rising prices of Chinese medicinal materials during this period, they have also dropped a bit. It must be said that Xiao Qi's action was indeed effective.
This matter is just a rumor among the people, and Fairy Company will not appear in official news reports. After all, it is difficult for the government to say anything about it.
Because all kinds of speculation are actually just a way of doing business. It goes against morality, but it does not violate the principles of doing business.
This is also the reason why the government did not take action when something like this happened in the past life.
Now that Xiao Qi has taken action, the government is very happy, but it is not suitable to bring it to the table.
So Niu Ruzheng could only praise Xiao Qi in private.
After finishing the gossip, it was immediately time to talk about the main topic.
"Recently, there is a saying from the government. Seeing that the euro is already very weak and the US dollar is also weakening, do we have any hope of promoting the RMB as a settlement currency to the world?" Niu Ruzheng said to Xiao Qi.
"You are a genius in the financial field, what do you think of this?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
What Niu Ruzheng said is a common thinking in China after the financial crisis in the previous life.
To put it simply, it is the internationalization of the RMB. To put it more deeply, it means that the RMB also wants to become the settlement currency for transactions between countries like the United States.
So far in human history, apart from hard currencies other than gold and silver, there are only two currencies that circulate around the world.
The first is the British pound, which existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries. It was the most trustworthy and smooth currency in the world. Basically all countries recognized the British currency and could replace gold and silver for national transactions.
The second one is the US dollar.
The U.S. dollar has a wider range of use than the pound sterling. Moreover, it is a recognized currency around the world and has completely replaced the value of gold and silver.
In a word, the U.S. dollar is the gold and silver of world currency.
This would be great.
This means that once the Federal Reserve prints U.S. dollars, they can be used as gold and silver, and they can be used around the world without any hindrance.
This is also the most important reason why the American people are not afraid of spending money or owing money!
Anyway, if it's not enough, just print money. Anyway, most of the gold is stored in New York vaults.
As for why other countries are so stupid that they actually agreed to the U.S. dollar, a currency that is not linked to gold, to become a clearing currency. That is not what we are discussing. This started decades ago.
Now in the 21st century, more and more people are dissatisfied with the United States' behavior of making money, and they want to get involved themselves and make a fortune in international trade.
So the euro was issued under this situation.
Most people who do business with Europeans have slowly begun to use the euro. The euro has almost replaced the U.S. dollar and has become the clearing currency among EU countries.
Not to mention Europe, even neighboring Africa and some countries in Asia have gradually accepted the euro settlement method.
The United States looked at it and thought, this is not okay. How could my unique business of making money in the United States be ruined by you guys?
So after planning for several years, the European debt crisis just broke out.
Although after China's reminder, Europe made a lot of preparations, but the Americans were too evil-minded and set traps one after another. After Greece fell, Portugal also fell, and the remaining countries such as Italy and Spain
, and now it has reached a critical point.
There is such a big crisis in Europe, and the euro has also been subject to great fluctuations.
If this continues, naturally no one except people outside Europe will dare to use the euro, and the United States' goal will be achieved.
Now that China suddenly wants to get involved and become a clearing currency, it may have to face pressure from the United States.
This was how it was in the previous life.
Precisely because China had this idea, the United States began to restrict China in many aspects, causing China's economy to be sluggish in the next few years.
However, China was not afraid of the United States. Instead, it gritted its teeth and persisted. Together with Russia, South Africa, India and Brazil, it joined forces to carry out the first step of clearing currency interoperability, and then began to promote RMB clearing business in Southeast Asia.
Although the achievements in these items were not great before Xiao Qi's reincarnation, it also shows the determination of Hua in this regard.
Of course Xiao Qi would not advise Niu Ruzheng to retreat when faced with difficulties. In fact, this kind of thing is inevitable as the country of China becomes stronger.
China and the United States want to compete for world resources, and they will always compete in the financial field.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Qi asked: "What plans does the government have now?"
"The first one is the currency swap of the BRICS countries, and a bank can be set up to manage the clearing issues." Niu Ruzhengdao said, "The second one is to focus on RMB clearing services for trade in Southeast Asian countries."
"The currency settlement of the BRICS countries should not be very effective, because they are not the world's major currencies." Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "What's more, the economies of these countries are not closely related to China. Therefore, here
If more effort is spent on it, it will just be a waste of resources."
"India doesn't count?" Niu Ruzheng said.
Xiaoyao Mall in India has passed the review by the two governments and will be open for business soon.
Many of these daily commodities are not available in India, so they need to be imported from China. In Niu Ruzheng's view, this is an opportunity to intervene in Indian currency settlement.
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Of course India counts, but when it comes to the second RMB settlement in Southeast Asia, it cannot be counted as the BRIC countries. The basic base of the United States now is Western Europe and East Asia, and Southeast Asia's economy is underdeveloped, so they happen to be
A place that has been ignored. And we have very frequent business contacts with Southeast Asia, so this is something we can take advantage of."
"Do you think RMB currency settlement in Southeast Asia is better than the first one?" Niu Ruzheng asked.
"Of course!" Xiao Qidao said, "First, Southeast Asia is the closest to us and far away from the United States, which gives us an advantage in control; second, Southeast Asia has the closest economic ties with us, and our small commodities and mechanical products
Wait, a lot of their agricultural products, raw materials, etc. are sold to these countries, and a lot of them are also sold to China; third, and most important, there are countless Chinese in Southeast Asia and they have a rich Confucian culture.
It is the advantage of having the same origin. In addition, the Chinese occupy a major economic position in the country where they are located, so we can use this to promote RMB clearing."
"Well, we have also considered these, but those people are... a little alienated from us now, right?" Niu Ruzheng said calmly.
"No matter how big the gap is, we can't erase our relationship of the same origin." Xiao Qi said, "Besides, this is an economic society. As long as they can make money, what don't they want to do? They should do business with us.
Much better than doing business with Americans, right?”
"make money?"
"Yes, making money! Isn't it good if we give them a little more benefit in the RMB clearing business and let them use RMB clearing voluntarily?" Xiao Qi said, "On the bright side, we will make a lot less money.
You may still lose money at the beginning, but as long as you can promote RMB clearing in Southeast Asia, it will be a victory!”
"You're right to say that." Niu Ruzheng nodded.
There were many people discussing the two previous viewpoints, and he himself did not give much consideration. After listening to Xiao Qi's words, he also tended to focus on the second method.
"There are still some things we can do." Xiao Qidao, "For example, when Europe is in very difficult times, we can completely exchange currencies with the EU! This will not only allow them to maintain currency exchange with us, but also
Give them some impression points. Anyway, with Britain, France and Germany here, the euro will not fluctuate much."
"Huh?" Niu Ruzheng's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!"
"It doesn't take much, just tens of billions of euros." Xiao Qi said harmoniously, "But this time we can't be stupid and ask for nothing, for example, just ask for some cooperation projects! Let them know that we will give
It’s not easy for them to change money!”
"What are you talking about?" Niu Ru nodded at Xiao Qi, "You kid, please stop being so mean and mean, okay?"
Even though he said this, Niu Ruzheng also laughed.
This kid Xiao Qi is indeed the wise man of the country. He really knows a lot!
