Chapter 749
Staying up all night
On January 1, news about the official issuance of the euro was officially released to the world.
But one thing to say is that the impact of this matter is not big. Most people are actually waiting and watching. After all, as early as the Maastricht Treaty, it has been stated that as long as seven countries ratify it, it will be implemented in January.
Release currency on the 1st.
About the euro launch?
In fact, everyone has already made preparations in their hearts.
After all, this kind of call has been around since the 1960s, and it’s almost the next century now, so it’s not that new.
And what is really worth paying attention to?
In fact, it was the performance of the euro after it entered the financial market four days later, that is, on January 4th!
The former's currency issuance is only for European countries.
The latter's entry into the financial market takes a global view.
The citizens of Yingjiang are naturally very angry, because the current world is a U.S. dollar currency system, and they can make crazy money through the convenience of the U.S. dollar and form a monopoly in politics, economy and other aspects.
This behavior of the other party is tantamount to provocation and is intolerable to Ying Jiang!
But some people are worried.
For example, Raymond, the European major leagues have been too strong in recent years, and the power of the entire Europe has been gathered this time. From the bottom of his heart, he does not think that this War Eagle Sauce can be easily solved.
Even subconsciously, he already thinks that the European Major League will become the second rival like his big brother!
This is why many people are angry.
Provocation has never been the point. A weak provocation will not cause anger, it will only make you feel that this little thing is too cute.
Only enemies that are truly powerful and can pose a threat to you will make you pay attention, and even make you angry.
But anyway, the matter has been decided.
Countless pairs of eyes around the world are watching like this. Everyone is looking forward to the rise of the European major leagues, and is also looking forward to Yingjiang's resounding blow. However, while the world situation seems calm, in fact, there is an undercurrent surging.
?
January 4th, the fifth continent of Gallic Rooster - Hesse.
Frankfurt, the largest city in the state, is a semi-official financial institution.
In the early morning, Sabastian woke up full of energy, with a smile on his face, as if something big and happy was about to happen. However, when he came to his familiar office, he saw an unshaven man not far away with a smile in his eyes.
His bloodshot colleague made him stunned:
"You look so bad. Did you have no rest last night?"
Clemens is an eccentric in the financial institution, with a serious and old-fashioned personality.
The two have worked together for eight years, but only very rarely have they seen a smile appear on each other's faces.
On weekdays, he has a serious expression.
Colleagues often say that the Clemens family must be very boring. No matter what kind of woman or child they are, it is a tragedy to meet such a man.
He was too calm, like a machine without emotions.
But you have to admit that Clemens' business ability is really strong. Many of his analyzes seemed a bit exaggerated or even fantasy at the time, but in the end they all showed that Clemens was right.
And with Sebastian's concerned inquiry?
Clemens blinked his dry eyes and said humorously:
"No, I slept soundly the night before yesterday."
Sebastian: "..."
He was silent. The other party's cold jokes had the astonishing power of making people dig out three rooms and one living room. But he also knew why Clemens didn't sleep last night. After all, the movement this time was really too big. But compared to the old one, he was silent.
Colleagues are concerned about the country and the people.
Sebastian is an optimist:
"Don't worry, this time we have gathered the strength of the entire Europe."
Although it goes back ten years.
When the two poles are mentioned, all Europeans tremble, but after witnessing the death of their eldest brother, many Europeans feel inexplicably more confident. It seems that the two poles are just that, nothing special.
Seeing Sebastian's confident look, Clemens couldn't help but fell silent.
Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence can lead to serious consequences.
The most terrifying problem now is that there are countless Sabastians throughout Europe, and everyone is too confident, as if the powerful Eagle Sauce is not worth mentioning. This makes him very uneasy, and then asked a question:
"What's the exchange rate ratio?"
Sebastian shrugged, looking relaxed and carefree:
"It's still the same, 1; 1.174. After all, this is the final conclusion reached after scientific calculations."
The exchange rate, the exchange rate between two currencies, can also be regarded as the value of one country's currency to another currency. At the same time, the exchange rate is the financial means used by each country to achieve its political goals.
Even if the currency of a small country enters the international financial market, it has little meaning.
Because the value of currency is not this piece of paper, but the comprehensive strength of the country.
If such a small fish enters the financial market, even if it is not swallowed up by a big country, it will be bankrupted by a group of crazy capital.
The 1997 financial crisis is a bloody example. With the size of Siam at that time, how could the whole country dare to enter the financial market?
Isn’t this the street where people are shouting, asking people to come and cut your leeks?
If money wants to enter the financial market safely, it must be large enough. When the Mao family was just separated, one dollar could be exchanged for 1,400 rubles.
It gradually rose in the later period, and one dollar could be exchanged for fifty or sixty rubles.
But at the ruble's peak, one ruble could be exchanged for two U.S. dollars.
It can be seen from this that the international financial and currency market is really not something that ordinary small countries can afford.
As for the big hair problem?
Although there are various issues such as currency runs, economic problems, development prospects, etc., the essence is still the country's comprehensive strength. The essential problem of Mao is that the military is strong, but not in other aspects.
So the value of currency has never been high,
In general, for example, between two small countries of the same size, the currency exchange rate should be 1;1.
This value is not fixed, and there is a certain deviation, but the amplitude will not exceed 15%. But it is precisely because of this exchange rate that Clemens, who was not very energetic just now, suddenly changed his face and subconsciously blurted out:
"Are these people crazy?"
The exchange rate is nothing because it can be adjusted.
The key is that during this time period, the emergence of this exchange rate represents what it means!
In Clemens' view, even 1:1 is a very risky behavior, not to mention that the euro is now still crushing the dollar.
But Clemens's reaction made Sabastian on the other side unhappy, and he frowned:
"I know what you're worried about, but this number is not excessive.
The original intention of the euro from the very beginning was to challenge the US dollar. But what I want to say is that the reason why we challenge is not because we want to challenge, but because we have the strength to challenge and are sure of winning!"
Clemens opened his mouth to explain: "But..."
It's a pity that Sabastian opposite doesn't want to hear this at all. Since the European Community was renamed the European Union, the international situation has been getting better and better. Especially the death of the eldest brother has made everyone understand that the two poles are not invincible!
To be honest, in Sabastian's view, the EU leaders are still too conservative.
In 1995, when countries like Switzerland and Finland officially joined, they should have issued currencies. Wasn't that the case of NATO's large-scale air strikes in Yugoslavia?
We also have airplanes, battleships and cannons, and even the most terrifying ultimate weapons are numerous.
Isn't it just starting a war?
I really don't understand what these politicians are afraid of all the time, and they actually postponed it until 1999.
As for this old colleague of mine?
Although the two have different opinions, work is work and personal emotions cannot be brought into it. Considering his current position and the speed of the other's promotion, the two of them will definitely have contact in the future.
After thinking about it, Sebastian patted his old colleague on the shoulder:
"Okay, don't be so nervous. Although I am not as smart as you, so many economists and leaders have agreed. I must be sure of victory, or do you think you are smarter than these people?"
Although I wanted to say something, but looking at Sebastian’s expression?
Clemens sighed and smiled bitterly:
"Okay, give me a cup of coffee, thank you."
Clemens has a good physique, but he is not a young man in his twenties after all. He has not slept for nearly thirty hours and is very tired. A cup of hot coffee can cheer him up and get back to work.
But Sebastian didn't do this. He shook his head:
"No, you find a place to sleep for a while and leave this place to me."
Clemens looked hesitant:
"Isn't this not good?"
Sebastian smiled and gave the other party a "leave it to me" expression:
"There's nothing wrong with it. Don't look at how scary your face is. Go and have a rest. If something goes wrong, I will call you."
