Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 301 Prime Minister Eric

"National debt..."

When it was broadcast on the news that the Nord Kingdom was about to issue national debt, Charlie understood everything. This was a compromise made by his father on the things he chose to insist on.At this moment, Charlie began to hesitate, was he a little too much?Disrupting my father's deployment because of some face problems, the king of this country is still my father, not myself, doing this...

Charlie wasn't too worried about the king's position, he just felt sorry for Joseph, but then he put these worries aside, because he thought he was right and the time would verify everything.

He still has a character of not admitting defeat, but it is this character that almost brought disaster to the Nord Kingdom, and at the same time made Charlie's position as crown prince further endangered.

In 2005, Google Inc. and Dell Inc. of the United States went public. At the same time, the huge liquidity of several major funds in the Americas began to hit the Nord stock market.The first to suffer the disaster was the Audi company, the economic pillar of the former Nord Kingdom!
At about 2005:8 in the morning on August 23, 9, the shares of Audi AG began to fluctuate severely, and then a chain reaction was finally triggered under the frantic selling. a depreciation.

Audi AG urgently held a meeting of the board of directors. After agreeing that 20 billion euros would be used to buy the shares sold by citizens at the opening of the market, 20 billion euros was already quite a lot. Perhaps because of Audi’s determination, American funds decided to withdraw temporarily. The first wave The attack was successfully resisted.

But the matter is not over. At 4:30 p.m., the US Secretary of State held a press conference. This time the press conference was mainly aimed at raising tariffs and quantity policies for some foreign vehicles. Audi and Volkswagen have difficulties in leaving the Americas for a large number of foreign brand vehicles. .

It would be better if it was just like this, but at this time, Asia is also gaining momentum. Needless to say, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the United States has considerable influence there, and restricting the number of imported European cars is just a word. As for Huaxia, the United States has made some concessions in certain aspects, and Audi, a joint venture of Novartis, has been inspected by industry and commerce departments.

At the same time, the Huaxia government seemed to be preparing to repurchase a large number of shares in state-owned enterprises held by Gao Jingxuan. Under the call of the State Council, various companies began to inject capital, separate, and issue additional shares in response to this matter.

After a lot of tossing, Huaxia's companies, which were originally worth tens of billions of pounds, shrank by nearly one-third. Gao Jingxuan had no choice but to go to Huaxia to discuss this matter.

The final result of the negotiations on the 3rd was that the Huaxia government invested 120 billion pounds to repurchase all the shares held by Gao Jingxuan in the hands of Petroleum and Petrochemical, China Construction Bank, and Mobile Unicom. Facing such a result, Gao Jingxuan could only choose to compromise.

A repurchase case of this scale was handled quietly, otherwise Gao Jingxuan, with a net worth of 200 billion euros, would instantly become one of the richest people in Europe. The reputation and dividends are far from what the 200 billion euros can match.

Adding up these shares in China at this time, Gao Jingxuan can get more than 20 billion euros in dividends every year, and 200 billion is only ten years, not to mention the influence it brings to Gao Jingxuan in China.

It was a loss-making business, but Gao Jingxuan had to do this, because the relationship between Huaxia and the Kingdom of Nord was not as close as it was a few years ago.This is also normal. After all, there will never be any real friendship between countries, only interests.

More than ten years ago, China needed Nord and the Kingdom of Nord also needed China, so they became the closest comrades-in-arms, but now... the total GDP of China ranks fourth in the world under the United States, Japan and Germany, and the Kingdom of Nord also In the top ten, they no longer need to help each other, and have become competitors because of relationships such as Asia, the European Union, and the Americas.

The Kingdom of Nord helped Huaxia with all its strength before, but the first time was a transaction and the second time meant something self-evident. It is a good thing that the two sides have not turned their faces, because the Kingdom of Nord pushed Huaxia directly in front of the United States and became his The target is to obtain development opportunities in Europe.

Returning to the original topic, because of the actions of countries in the Americas and Asia against Audi, even Nord citizens themselves began to worry about the future of Audi, and they could not help but tentatively sell their shares. Under such circumstances, a chain storm soon formed, and Audi was powerless to save it, so it could only minimize losses.

According to statistics, the 200-day slump in Audi's shares has caused Audi's losses to reach [-] billion euros. Needless to say, Audi has lost its auto markets in the United States, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and China.

In fact, not only the Nord Kingdom suffered losses, but also Germany and France. For this reason, the poor three brothers once again held a joint meeting of the European Union and began to discuss the matter of deepening cooperation between the European Union.

The first is the automobile industry. The newly established United European Automobile Company will include Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Citroen.

The newly established company Nord Kingdom holds 40.00% of the shares, while Germany and France each hold 30.00%. No matter how specific it is, it is negotiated by each country. The overall share distribution plan is like this.

If it's just like this, then Charlie's character is too underestimated. He has always felt a little sorry for Joseph in the military project, so after discussing with Joseph, the Kingdom of Nord will share the B-level strengthening fluid within the EU member states. formula, and sell some special Chinese herbal medicines at low prices.

Joseph also had his own idea of ​​sharing the secret recipe of strengthening fluid, because they are going to build a large military research base in Berlin, the main research is to strengthen the weapons of soldiers. The speed has been improved a lot, and it is more economical.

The United States did not expect that its actions would actually speed up the progress of European integration. This made the U.S. government regret it, and the United Kingdom began to waver, because now it seems that joining Europe is in the best interest of the United Kingdom. There is no future around.

The Queen began to explode her influence at this time. After several negotiations, the UK first broke through the US's restrictions on the manufacture of European car companies. The newly announced import and export were obviously biased towards Europe. Kingdom, Germany and France are very happy.

It is unreasonable for the Kingdom of Nord to have A-level fortifying fluid, and Huaxia does not. After all, the main basis for this is the ancient Chinese medicine formula from Huaxia. However, due to lack of technology, Huaxia can only say that it is B+-level fortifying fluid, which is generally the same as the United States.

外务事情暂时告一段落，因为诺德王国即将迎来2005年的大选，因为查理的原因，本应该2005年1月1日召开的大选推迟到2006年1月1日。

Now the Nord Kingdom is Charlie's Nord Kingdom alone. Joseph's silence is nothing more than a one-year delay, and Morris, the speaker of the House of Commons, can only wait for one more year.

The election began, members from all over the country came to the House of Commons of the Nord Kingdom with the counted votes. Under the auspices of Speaker Morris, a really fair and just balloting began.

The governor of Western Sahara Marceau received 1353789 votes, 130 million votes accounted for one-fifth of Nord’s 600 million population. It seems that the number of votes is much lower than last year, but it is not the case, because this time there are many more candidates. They A lot of preparations have been made for this general election, and it is only natural to get more votes.

Li Zhishen, the only Chinese cabinet member of Nord and the cabinet minister, also won a lot of votes. After all, he came from the education industry. things.

"Speaker Smith, I don't know if His Excellency Governor Marceau can be the prime minister this time."

Smith shook his head: "I think the possibility of Eric's re-election is very high. Although the crown prince didn't say anything, everyone knows that he is eager for Eric to be re-elected, especially... Although the general decision is wrong, the five years At that time, the salaries of Nord citizens have increased a lot, and there are many people who think about Eric's benefits."

The per capita salary of the citizens of the Kingdom of Nord has increased to [-] euros. It must be said that Eric is responsible for this, but at the same time he also ignores the importance of national defense construction.

"Prime Minister Eric was re-elected? But the matter of Audi..."

"However, it also contributed to the European Automobile United Company. In fact, the loss of shareholders is not too great. The safety of laid-off workers is also relatively good. Audi's engineers and workers are highly skilled, and the laid-off allowance allows them to do some small businesses to support themselves. There is no problem with myself, even more than the salary of the job."

The assistant was silent. He admitted that Smith was telling the truth, but he always thought that things should not be like this. It is normal for Eric to step down and Charlie to be deposed as the crown prince.

Smith once again guessed the development of the matter correctly. In the end, Eric won 150 million votes and was re-elected. It is not a lie that Smith is called the most capable prime minister in the history of the Nord Kingdom.

Nord Palace at the same time:

Hearing the news of Eric's re-election, Charlie was obviously relieved. Neither Marceau nor Li Zhishen would be as handy as Eric, because those two are very capable, so strong that he is difficult to control.

For Charlie, who is obsessed with power, what he needs at this time is not a capable prime minister but an absolutely obedient prime minister. In terms of ability, he is enough.
