Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2555 - 2393: Shocking Remarks
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Damn it.
The powerful consortiums were also caught off guard by Italy’s actions. Damn it!
If this continues, will they really cause the Euro’s demise? Their initial goal was merely to skim some profits, but it feels like the situation has now spiraled far beyond their control.
Official pronouncements.
Local sentiments.
A strong call for separation echoed from multiple factions.
...
"This predicament cannot persist. If the Euro were to collapse, future meetings would be incredibly awkward."
"Precisely."
"We cannot afford to let the Euro fall; our strategy heavily relies on it to counterbalance the Asia Dollar. No matter how we look at it, we must extend a helping hand at this juncture."
"I concur."
"I am also of the same opinion."
"..."
Swiftly, a decision was made to intervene and prop up the currency. Simply observing the Euro's decline felt morally questionable, and the five major consortiums raised no objections.
At this critical moment.
The market share of the Asia Dollar was inching closer to surpassing the Euro. Even if the Euro were stabilized now, the Asia Dollar could still catch up, provided the printing of money continued unabated.
Thus.
The consortiums initiated their maneuvers.
...
On that fated day.
The United States publicly declared its readiness to offer substantial support for Eurozone stability, aiming to facilitate the recovery and advancement of livelihoods and economic order.
Suddenly.
The entire global community was taken aback.
"They've finally stepped in."
"Naturally."
"There's no way Europe and the US would engage in a full-blown conflict; they are practically family, bound by inseparable ties."
"As anticipated."
"..."
The intervention by the United States, while surprising, was also entirely logical. Despite prevailing tensions, the deep-rooted connections between Europe and the US meant they could not simply stand idly by.
It appeared.
The Euro crisis was on the verge of its conclusion.
...
"This presents a tremendous opportunity; we have finally awaited this day."
"Haha."
"Increase our holdings, lever up, the Euro is poised for a recovery."
"Roar!!"
"..."
A significant influx of capital entered the market with leveraged long positions on the Euro, anticipating a rise in exchange rates to secure profits and offset previous losses.
Eager to capitalize.
Poised to reap financial rewards.
...
Huaxia.
Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Observing the United States' decisive move, Tang Qing, currently in a meeting, remained entirely unfazed. He understood that the American consortiums would never permit the Euro to falter so easily.
Therefore.
The decisive blow.
Would still have to be delivered by their own hands.
"Chairman, the pre-orders for Epoch 4, utilizing the Hummingbird Warehouse system, have all been dispatched. They are scheduled to reach consumers within three days."
"The final payments will be settled within the week."
"..."
"Sales of contract phones are showing consistent growth. The three-day sales data from various countries has also surpassed that of Epoch Three."
"..."
Luo Qiang reported with palpable excitement. With Epoch 4 initiating pre-sales this year, the company had secured its position as the second-largest global entity and the foremost mobile phone manufacturer in Huaxia.
Six years.
Four flagship phones, each a resounding success, with pre-sales exceeding ten million units. This was the remarkable performance of Epoch 4, selling an additional ten million units within just three days of its official launch.
Queues of eager customers formed outside physical stores in every nation.
Contemplating this.
He felt a surge of happiness.
With an average price of five thousand units.
Twenty million units translate to a sales volume of approximately one trillion. This represented a commendable beginning, and with continued effort, the company might realistically achieve a five trillion revenue this year.
Although last year's revenue was six hundred billion, over a hundred billion of that stemmed from offshore drilling platforms, a sector unlikely to see such lucrative orders this year.
However.
Five trillion remained an astronomical figure.
They were also fortunate.
Qingyuan Technology had a singular leader, unlike numerous burgeoning companies that frequently sought external investment, imposing ambitious annual targets on their management teams.
Here.
The directive was simple: adhere to the objectives set forth by Tang Qing.
Achieve them.
And success was assured.
Furthermore, Tang Qing’s primary focus was on product excellence, not on the sheer volume of money or profit generated. The underlying principle was that if the product was superior.
Wealth.
Would inevitably follow.
...
Europe.
The day following the United States' proposal to stabilize the Euro, a piece of news delivered a significant blow during the routine EU meeting.
France.
The newly elected President made a startling declaration.
"The Euro was conceived with the intention of improving economies, enhancing lives, and reducing societal operational expenses. However, reality has served us a profound lesson."
"The Euro."
"During times of crisis, its inherent weaknesses become starkly apparent. I believe the time has come to relinquish this ambitious experiment and revert to an era dominated by sovereign national currencies."
"A considerable portion of our citizenry desires separation. Numerous allies ardently hope for the dissolution of the Eurozone, and certain adversaries keenly anticipate the Euro's disintegration."
"Therefore."
"I propose that the Euro's chapter in history must now conclude. It emerged from a pivotal historical movement, and it is fitting that it should now recede amidst another grand historical shift."
"..."
Upon hearing these words.
An overwhelming silence descended upon the assembly.
At the venue.
Every EU member, along with the media present, stared in utter disbelief at the stage. What had they just heard? This declaration had the potential to shatter the existing order! To split. To break apart. To disintegrate. Each spoken word struck like thunder. France, a foundational member of the Eurozone and a crucial nation, had openly advocated for the Euro’s demise. Such astonishing news reverberated through the hall. Was this real, or merely a waking dream? *Hiss!* Attendees pinched themselves. Ow! This was no dream. It was real. At such a pivotal meeting, broadcast live to the world, with the US poised to offer assistance, France had publicly declared its desire to end the Euro. Good heavens! This would surely shake the very foundations of the world! "Good heavens!" "Is today April Fool's Day?" "Heavens above!" "Does he truly comprehend the gravity of his words?" "..." The entire conference hall erupted into a cacophony of murmurs. Journalists, initially stunned, descended into a frenzy, snapping photographs with frantic energy, while live broadcast media intensified their coverage. The host repeatedly exclaimed, "Oh my." ... "This... something monumental is about to occur." "Simply unbelievable." "..." Across all European nations, the viewing audience was equally taken aback. What was happening? Did the Euro no longer wish to exist? While many had observed the Eurozone facing difficulties and even found a certain satisfaction in it, they had never anticipated their frustrations might lead to its complete dissolution. ... However. The majority of the French populace actually supported this drastic stance. As a core nation with a robust economy, they had grown increasingly dissatisfied with other nations thriving on debt, a situation exacerbated since the Greek crisis. Then came a cascade of incidents. And a series of successive blunders. The Euro's steady decline, coupled with the widespread criticism it faced, had long fostered a suppressed discontent. Gradually, public sentiment shifted, with many believing that life could be better without the Euro. They felt they would no longer be exploited. Truly. It felt bitterly cold. Especially during this harsh Euro winter, the perception that all these troubles stemmed from the Euro gained traction. If they were to go their separate ways, it wouldn't be a terrible outcome; each nation could manage its own affairs. Risks would be self-borne. Ten years. The Euro, a mere decade old, had ultimately failed to embed itself deeply within people's hearts. The deep-seated loyalty to their original currencies persisted. If another ten, or perhaps twenty years had passed. Perhaps. A genuine sense of common recognition for the Euro might have taken root. ... At the meeting venue. Germany. Spain. Belgium. ... Representatives from other Eurozone countries now experienced involuntary twitches at the corners of their mouths. This meeting was intended to stabilize the Euro, but it had devolved into a stab in the back. Piercingly cold! The entire situation spiraled beyond control following this impassioned speech.
