Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2556 - 2394: Room Allocation
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
A meeting venue buzzed with an almost unbearable liveliness.
To be frank, the handful of Eurozone countries still remaining were incredibly tempted to drag the person on stage down, just as they had done before. However, the repercussions from such an action would likely be even more significant.
It was a predicament!
Frustration mounted.
Today.
Was this truly where things were headed? Considering the original eleven nations, with the addition of France, a mere seven Eurozone countries had yet to declare their departure.
Seven.
Ha!
The foundational countries were on the verge of abandoning ship.
And the ones left behind.
How could they possibly endure for much longer? The announcement of core nations exiting would undoubtedly deliver a crushing blow to the Euro's credibility, perhaps even a fatal one.
What was happening with the individual on the stage?
...
"Crack!"
Like a sudden thunderclap, the news struck.
The currency market reeled from the announcement. Financial investment institutions that had heavily leveraged their positions were instantly caught off guard by this dire news.
No.
They were nearly obliterated by it.
"Stop-loss orders."
"Sell!"
"..."
Shouts erupted from numerous companies as panic set in. One by one, cold sweat trickled down, chilling them to the bone. Exiting now, even if they survived, meant a significant loss of capital.
Merciful heavens!
This accursed Euro had once again led them astray.
...
Within the confines of a prominent investment bank.
"Damn it."
"What is happening? Weren't we assured that the U.S. would intervene to stabilize the market?" The person in charge began to curse vehemently; this was a colossal black swan event.
Utterly unprepared.
This time.
Having received advance information from the consortiums, they had heavily leveraged their positions and secured a substantial stake before the U.S. officially announced its intervention.
And now.
It had all imploded.
Their accounts had sustained massive losses.
It must be understood.
These investment institutions primarily operated on insider information. Whatever new policies emerged, or significant moves were made by Europe and the U.S., they were privy to them in advance.
Then they profited.
For decades.
Every conflict and major historical turning point had served as a veritable feast for the consortiums. They received the news early, positioned themselves accordingly, and reaped enormous profits.
While others ate the meat.
They merely drank the soup.
This time.
They had all prepared for a substantial taste.
Who could have foreseen.
That the bowl would be shattered just as they reached for it, resulting in immense losses and profound pain!!! Such devastating news had brutally struck down the Euro's ascent.
It left the market with a bruised facade, and cries of anguish echoed all around.
...
Germany.
Within a sprawling, opulent manor.
"Change erupts once more," an elderly gentleman murmured, his gaze fixed on the unfolding news. A profound solemnity settled upon his features, and a cold glint flashed within his clouded eyes.
"Who is it? Who orchestrates these events from the shadows?"
Years prior.
The family had begun to notice certain entities "cheating," exhibiting astonishing growth in both wealth and influence, expanding at an unprecedented rate as if they had partaken in a potent elixir.
However.
They had never managed to uncover the source of this clandestine power.
All they could ascertain was.
That the opposing force was steadily growing stronger. Since 2004, transformations had been frequent, with the most significant being the emergence of Myanmar, Ling, and the ascendance of the Asia Dollar.
Prior to this.
He had once theorized that the Asia Dollar's rise was connected to European and American consortiums, primarily driven by a fear of them, and thus secretly fostering their own forces to diminish the consortiums' influence.
But now.
It appeared his initial assessment was flawed.
Otherwise.
In a scenario where victory seemed assured, they would not have pushed so relentlessly, seemingly intent on driving the Euro to an irreversible dead end, a strategy that defied logical explanation.
A headache-inducing enigma!
Previously.
All indications pointed towards the European and American consortiums.
Now.
The logic had shifted dramatically, creating a disconcerting paradox that was difficult to reconcile and utterly perplexing. The entire situation seemed shrouded in an impenetrable mist, obscuring clarity and hindering any attempt at unraveling it.
Could it be.
That these consortiums were truly overplaying their hand?
...
America.
The consortiums were also left utterly bewildered by France’s actions. Their expressions darkened one by one, and they even began to harbor suspicions about who might be instigating these disruptive events from behind the scenes.
"Inform me, who is responsible?"
"Not me."
"Nor me."
"..."
No one confessed.
Furthermore.
Even if one of them were indeed culpable, they would never admit it. The immediate concern for the consortiums now was how to navigate and rectify an increasingly chaotic predicament.
"So, how do we address the current issue? France has made its stance clear; their own populace no longer wishes to participate, so what purpose would our intervention and assistance serve?"
"This individual must be made to pay for disrupting our carefully laid plans."
"A lesson must be taught."
"..."
"Myanmar bears all the blame! If not for the Asia Dollar, how could the Euro have been pushed to this precipice? Have you been bribed? Always aiding it."
"Precisely."
"..."
"Nonsense, we merely believe a rival is necessary to counterbalance the Euro."
"And now? Counterbalance? It's heading towards a collapse! I propose immediate sanctions against Myanmar to decisively curb the Asia Dollar's arrogance."
"I object."
"You..."
"..."
The debate concerning Myanmar erupted once more. While the five major consortiums harbored suspicions, they were unable to voice them.
---Gitti.
Given her typically decisive actions from the past, it was plausible she orchestrated this move. Could it be that Gitti’s initial intention was to cripple the Euro from the outset?
Heavens.
If that were the case, the sheer audacity is terrifying.
That woman.
Her heart is quite wicked.
Yet, even with this knowledge, they couldn't afford to abandon their protection. The consortium meeting devolved into a chaotic argument, and half a day passed without any resolution.
...
Meanwhile, the news spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves across the globe. This single, decisive blow resonated deeply, stirring the hearts of many.
So ruthlessly executed!
The action was swift and impactful, excavating a significant portion of the existing structure.
And shortly after France declared its withdrawal, citizens in other European nations took to the streets once more, demanding their own exits. Their reasoning was straightforward.
Exit sooner.
Find relief sooner.
Otherwise.
They risked being pulled deeper into the Euro’s abyss, becoming unable to escape. When even a key nation loses faith in the Euro’s future, it naturally erodes confidence elsewhere.
They yearned for stability, they desired a future.
...
While Europe remained the epicenter of global attention.
Huaxia.
"Hooray!"
"Boss Tang is powerful and magnificent!"
"I finally have a home, haha!!"
"..."
Tang Qing’s affiliated companies commenced the distribution of corporate housing once again, an event that occurs triennially. Although termed corporate housing, the company shouldered all construction expenses.
Consequently.
It was effectively a 'purchase' at an extremely low price. Eligibility was open to anyone meeting the criteria, allowing immediate occupancy.
Thus.
Within all major companies, an electrifying atmosphere permeated the air.
...
Beijing.
Shanghai Stock Market.
Yangcheng.
Shen City.
...
The top ten cities in Huaxia, without exception, witnessed this distribution. Even individuals whose homes were not located in these cities, or whose workplaces were elsewhere, but were registered residents, were included.
They were allocated one.
In total.
Over one hundred thousand units were made available.
Within a single day.
More than eighty-nine thousand were distributed. The remainder were designated for future allocation over the next three years to individuals who would gradually meet the conditions.
However.
The prevailing estimation was that all units would be claimed before the year concluded. The subsequent distribution cycle was planned for three years later, in 2015.
Jubilation!
Delight!
Profound gratitude!
People were nearly ready to erect statues of Tang Qing in their homes, offering praise for granting them swift access to desirable housing in prime city locations.
Excellent amenities.
And most importantly, generous sizes, starting from 120 square meters.
Common areas?
No.
Within Tang Qing's enterprises, common areas were strictly excluded from calculations. In Tang Qing's own words, such a practice was utterly disgraceful!
