Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2530 - 2368: Asia Dollar Market Share
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
October 10.
"Massive protests have erupted in nations like France and Germany, with crowds flooding the streets to demand Portugal's exit from the bloc."
Euro edges lower!
...
October 15.
"A European Central Bank insider discloses that the euro's share in global payments keeps falling to a record low, casting doubt on its creditworthiness."
Euro edges lower!
...
October 20.
"Sources indicate frequent meetings among currency oversight bodies in certain Eurozone countries, likely gearing up to regain control over their money."
Euro edges lower!
...
Suddenly.
Truths.
Lies.
Half-truths. A barrage of reports overwhelmed European discourse. Eurozone members craved command, yet it remained out of reach, beyond their authority.
Before that.
The EU had tossed brief support toward the Asia Dollar crisis, achieving zilch. Now they pinned hopes on other EU states to apply pressure, but no one paid heed.
Aid you?
Ha!
Refraining from piling on while you stumble is favor enough. Delusions of assistance? They've long resented the euro's imposition from day one.
In good times.
Fine.
But expecting backup amid turmoil? Pure fantasy.
...
"Bang!"
"These fools lack any vision for the greater good."
"Damn them."
"..."
Fury burned in the hearts of France and Germany! Within a single month, the euro plunged over fifteen percent, shattering records.
Confidence-boosting efforts.
Futile.
Scarcely anyone swallowed the bait.
This defies logic.
No irregularities detected, as standard reasoning suggested a decent shot at reviving investor faith. Still, disbelief posed a gamble.
Evidently.
This round.
The unlikely outcome struck.
"The outlook is grim right now, euro weakening, confidence in tatters. Only the prestige of key euro nations prevents a steeper fall."
"Plenty of funds still trust the euro long-term, but short-term vibes are sour, prompting caution."
"Got any bright ideas?"
"Nope."
"Just sit idle? What's with those experts? Think tank budgets wasted?" One official pounded the desk, unleashing a tirade.
"..."
Ultimately.
"Alright, let it slide; total collapse isn't on the cards."
On this note.
Attendees brimmed with assurance. The Eurozone's stature stemmed from real might, not chance. That bedrock ensured rebound from any dip.
...
Core Eurozone powers remain oblivious: Tang Qing seeks not mere market swings, but eroded faith and eroded trade dominance.
Inflows.
Outflows.
Stock markets.
Exchange rates.
Bonds.
...
All maneuvers target the Eurozone's current undervalued turf. Distract them, keep eyes off the Asia Dollar.
...
Euro nosedives.
Profound fallout.
Across nations.
Firms clutching euros vent rage, rushing to swap for alternatives lest expenses balloon.
Hence.
Dollar.
Climbs steadily, as expected. Safe-haven cash flocks foremost to America. Second pick? Scan the globe—
Hmm.
Asia Dollar looks solid.
Plus.
Vast mid-to-low-end goods trade via Asia Dollar.
So.
Asia Dollar emerges as prime alternative. Eurozone chaos brews with true-false rumors needing time to settle. No appetite for bets.
One month.
Such a plunge? Gut-wrenching!
...
Thus.
Late October.
"Euro wobbles on, dragging stocks, bonds, and forex into freefall; its momentum falters as dollar surges and Asia Dollar grabs another uptick."
"To date."
"Asia Dollar's slice of global trade payments tops ten percent now, euro slumps from twenty-seven to twenty-two."
"..."
A report.
From a top stats body.
Upon reading.
Nations felt a jolt. Euro's shed payment share went to Asia Dollar, not the anticipated US dollar.
Yet.
Consider.
Fleeing euro funds are mostly speculative; real economy hinges on goods trade. Global trade leans low-end.
Obviously.
Asia Dollar switch brings bonus perks.
Sensibly.
Opting for fixed-rate currency slashes forex risks—smart play. In essence, dollar gains finance edge here.
Asia Dollar nabs trade payment wins.
...
November.
Dawn.
Xin’an City.
Outskirts.
Farm work done, Gitti glances at Europe's mess and offers a wry smile. Absent that shadowy hand, she'd dismiss it outright.
Somehow.
This power hungers for Asia Dollar's global rise.
At first.
Seemed trivial.
Today.
Ranks as third-biggest trade currency worldwide. Conventionally, currency payment shares stabilize, rarely shifting big.
But.
Through covert plays.
Bit by bit.
It devours rivals' portions.
UK Brexit.
Greece exit.
Euro turmoil.
...
Probably all bear its fingerprints; else, how stack coincidences to hobble euro so? Outsiders call it chance.
Immersed within, she sees otherwise.
Scheming.
That's the puppet-master's specialty. Like her: snared early, detained over a year, freed as US consortium go-between.
Americans assume she leads.
Unbeknownst.
Mere tool. She's pondered if Myanmar scored alien tech, so many puzzles linger.
Take conduct.
Brazen always.
Puzzle is.
Source of such boldness? Sure the US won't hit back, after vaporizing agents globally—not once.
Justification?
None needed; agents vanished, not our problem.
Utter fearlessness.
Yet.
They pull it off, unphased by US stray bombs whisking Ling away. For her rep alone, she'd never risk such.
Conviction.
She senses immense conviction.
Just unclear on its root—surely not Western might. Why bother otherwise? Pointless.
Abruptly.
A handler's call hits her ears.
"Gitti."
"Present."
"Mission time."
"Affirmative."
Glancing over.
Yet another consortium figure. Lately, that's her focus, though assignments have tapered oddly.
As though consortiums suddenly fixed their woes. She won't kid herself it's her doing. Self-awareness checks out.
Hopped in the vehicle.
Quickly.
Reached... Hiss!
Gitti drew a sharp breath—the Presidential Palace, Ling's domain. First visit here; big plans afoot?
The notion quickened her pulse uncontrollably.
