Chapter 379 Inflation, if it doesn’t rise, it will fall

"Mr. Lin, when you come back, pay more attention to the scientific researchers from the capital. I have to go out for something."
Zheng Yaoyang informed Lin Defu on the phone of the current situation in Xiangjiang, the follow-up arrangements for Xiao Ziliang's team, and then took a plane to the capital.
He did not reveal much at the press conference. He only announced that the 2G signal was online. More details will have to wait until Lin Defu comes back to preside over the work.
It can be said that it whetted the appetite of the media, so they had no choice but to turn their guns and find Nokia's Asia president to ask whether the incident was true or not, and how they should deal with it.
Westerlund was arrested on the spot by Hong Kong media reporters at the entrance of the company, but he said nothing and entered the office building with a cold face.
Although he didn't want to admit it, his colleagues in the company's technical department did tell him that they captured a brand new signal frequency yesterday.
It is completely different from their frequency, but one thing is certain, the other party uses a new type of digital transmission technology, which is a standard feature of 2G signals.
He was unwilling to admit his failure. It was obviously their research and development in advance, so why did the other party's technology come online ahead of schedule even if it could catch up with theirs?
Westerlund needs to give an explanation to the headquarters and discuss with the headquarters whether to give up the Xiangjiang market and move to the mainland while the investment is relatively small now.
Because the new signal source they detected covers almost all of Hong Kong, but their signal tower is still under construction and will not be online for at least two months.
After two months, the day lilies will be cold. If they cannot occupy the first share of the market, then their base station construction will be completely meaningless. The Xiangjiang market is too small to accommodate two telecommunications companies.
………………
In the evening, the private plane arrived in Beijing smoothly, and Zheng Yaoyang and his team checked into the Zhaolong Hotel in Beijing.
The building is nineteen stories tall. The architectural shape and decoration are basically the same, if not exactly the same.
Even the group photo in the lobby is very similar to the group photo they took today. The only difference is that Bao Yugang is standing in the position of the great man today, Zheng Yaoyang is standing in Bao Zhaolong's position, and Mayor Li is standing in Bao Yugang's position.
The two hotels have many similarities.
Zheng Yaoyang smiled bitterly in astonishment, and suddenly he could understand why his grandfather was so excited at that time. He was probably thinking of people and his deceased great-grandfather.
I once heard from my grandpa that when he first entered the shipping industry, his great-grandfather had always been in charge of logistics. The two of them vividly demonstrated the father-son mentality of being a soldier in battle.
The design intention of Pengcheng Tourism Bureau was good. The 19th floor of Zhaolong Hotel and the 16th floor of Yugang Hotel also hired the same designer, corresponding to the father and son of the Bao family.
It's just that my good intentions almost led to bad things.
Everyone rested in the hotel for one night, and the next day Zheng Yaoyang and the others came to the People's Bank of China headquarters in Beijing.
Mayor Zhu informed in advance that Zheng Yaoyang successfully met Director Zhang of the Foreign Exchange Office of the People's Bank of China.
He discovered a very interesting phenomenon in mainland officialdom. In small cities, directors are usually division-level cadres.
If it is in the capital, or a key city such as Pengcheng Magic City, the director will be a high-ranking figure.
Director Zhang laughed in astonishment, with a serious face: "We are all comrades, there is no distinction between big and small people."
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and remained silent, and then said that they currently hold 72 million barrels of crude oil.
According to the latest international oil prices closing last night, it is approximately worth US$2.548 billion.
Director Zhang pondered for a moment: "Mr. Zheng, we will help you with sales first, and we will see how the rest goes."
The latest price of crude oil is 35.4 US dollars per barrel. Zheng Yaoyang quoted them 30 US dollars. Although it gave them a lot of benefits, he still felt that the price was too high.
They expect to reserve 20 million barrels this year, and have now completed the target of 10 million barrels, with costs generally below US$22.
If you buy it at a price of 30 US dollars, it will inevitably increase the cost price of the entire position. The hard-earned foreign exchange of the people across the country cannot be wasted like this.
For the time being, we will sell some of it on a consignment basis. If the price drops below 30 US dollars after the sale, Zheng Yaoyang will probably be embarrassed to ask them for 30 US dollars.
"It's okay, just look at the arrangements."
Zheng Yaoyang understood what he meant, and called Zhang Qifeng, asking him to take someone over to handle the handover procedures, and at the same time be responsible for monitoring the flow of funds.
Director Zhang did have a good idea, but the price of crude oil will not fall below 30 US dollars in the next ten years.
On the one hand, the Gulf War brought oil hegemony, and on the other hand, the mainland is developing rapidly every year.
Even though various countries are increasing crude oil production every year, the import volume from the mainland is also increasing year by year, which is also the reason why oil prices remain high.
The people under both sides were working on things, and Director Zhang also took the opportunity to chat with Zheng Yaoyang about the international situation.
He is responsible for managing the country's foreign currency investments, but he really doesn't know as much as Zheng Yaoyang about some things.
Just as the Japanese economy began to collapse at the beginning of the year, the national treasury held a total of 220 billion yen.
However, the Japanese yen depreciated and its exchange rate with the US dollar rose from 132 to 145, resulting in a loss of more than 100 million US dollars.
If they could have known Zheng Yaoyang at that time, talked to him, and understood his plan to short the property market, they might have been able to avoid this loss and even make a profit from it.
Zheng Yaoyang drank tea and said with a smile: "I think the yen should correct and then stabilize."
This year is the first year that Japan's economy has stagnated, and it will be the same for the next few decades. Whether it is wages or consumption power, they have basically not increased in decades.
However, since the 1990s, countries around the world have entered into rapid development, and even cold countries are developing.
Only Japan's economy has stagnated. To put it mildly, it is stable, but in fact it is in decline.
This feature has allowed Big A to learn the essence. After playing for more than ten years, the Shanghai Composite Index has been hovering at 3,000 points.
If it is not rising, it is falling, because it cannot even beat the most basic inflation every year.
Director Zhang showed a clear look on his face. He clearly heard the implication and secretly remembered it in his mind. Then he asked about the situation in Eastern Europe: "I heard that you are not optimistic about the Workers' Party."
Zheng Yaoyang knew what he wanted to ask and said with a smile: "Sell it, the ruble will be worthless in the future."
He also told Ma Yun about this matter. If you have money, buy more gold, or simply trade in US dollars.
Don't save rubles unless necessary.
Because the God-Emperor came to power next year, in order to embrace the free and democratic market, an additional 18 trillion rubles were issued.
Far more than 20 times this year's issuance, leading to an inflation of more than 2,000%.
Originally, one US dollar was exchanged for 69 rubles, but now it has been exchanged for 3,235 rubles per US dollar, a depreciation of 46 times.
And this was just the beginning. With the outbreak of the 819 coup, various member states declared independence one after another and denied the ruble as their official currency.
Overnight, the ruble plummeted 2,000 times and became worthless waste paper. Even Mokos abolished the old ruble and began to issue new rubles.
The ruble's monetary system has never recovered since then. It's no wonder that later generations of Lucian would ridicule that Mokos is just a big Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons.
"Mr. Zheng, are you really so sure?" Director Zhang asked. There is only one reason why the ruble is worthless: the complete demise of that powerful red country.
The older generation in the mainland always have a special feeling for the red country.
Because they share the same belief, and they have also lent a helping hand when the country was in crisis.
"Director Zhang, I don't need to stay here, right?"
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and planned to leave Zhang Qifeng here to monitor him while he went out for a walk.
He has already told me the correct answer. Believe it or not, he is too lazy to explain so much.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry. I made a mistake."
Director Zhang was stunned, knowing that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly made up his mind and said, "Mr. Zheng, where do you plan to go? Do you need me to introduce you to a local tour guide?"
Zheng Yaoyang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I just walked around these two days if I have nothing to do. I was in a hurry last time and didn't have a good look at the capital."
"Well, it's not early now, why don't we go have a meal first, and then I'll help you contact a local tour guide."
"Sorry, Director Zhang."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Director Zhang smiled and sighed secretly in his heart. He had screwed up a good opportunity. He didn't know when he would have such a good opportunity next time.
