"It seems that China's black technology is not omnipotent.”Andrew sighed as he looked at the car that had flipped over on the roadside slope.""Call for help." He picked up his phone.
"No, I don't have my passport. I'll be in trouble if the police come.”Eva stopped him.
"Then what should we do? We'll freeze to death.”
"Let's go flip the car over. We should be able to continue driving.”
"This car weighs more than two tons. Are you kidding?”he said.
Eva took out a coat from her small bag and put it on. She walked to the tailgate of the car and said,"Help me take out the jack from the car.”
Andrew shrunk his neck and rubbed his hands as he walked over and said,""What's the use of taking it out? Now that the car is on its side, there's no place for you to put the jack on.”
"This isn't a flat road. We'll find a place to dig a pit under the car and we can set up the jack.”she said.
Andrew looked at the car and hesitated.
Eva said," Now the car is not lying flat. It has a 28-degree tilt angle. We can lift it up to a 33-degree angle. It's easy to turn it over.”
"If that's the case, we'll only be upside down." he said.
"We just need to flip it three times."
“……。”Andrew frowned and didn't speak.
"Alright, if you're willing to do as I say and do your best to help me. I'll pay you double the price." Eva said.
He sighed." Alright, I'll try.”
They began to move. The process of flipping the car over was much easier than they had imagined. During the first flip, due to the small area of the roof and the slight curvature, the car rolled an additional 90 degrees. In an instant, the left door was below. Therefore, he flipped the car over twice.
The car was fine. The heat from the engine turned into hot air and blew into the driver's seat. Andrew finally recovered.
The Guardian's climbing ability was outstanding. He drove back to the road effortlessly and the car continued to move forward.
"Drive faster. It's not more than 70 km/h. It's still very safe. There are no cars in the first five kilometers.”Eva said.
"You must be a hot girl when you grow up.”Andrew said helplessly.
Back to Basel.
The meeting projected on the screen was a little messy. A few representatives of the central bank were still discussing the issue of the Israel loan, while others began to privately discuss other matters of concern.
Jennifer's simultaneous translator didn't know who was better at translating, so she could only explain who said it while translating the content. Some of them even started arguing loudly, which made it even harder to translate.
Empress Xuan raised her hand to stop her translation work. She turned to the eight men and asked,"What do you think of this organization?”
Bian Kai said," It's pretty good. Many international issues have become business issues. It's an advancement of civilization. The whole world has become a market.”
Fang Xiaogang said," What Mr. Bian Kai said makes sense. If you haven't heard of it before, you wouldn't have imagined that an international conference would be like this. Isn't the United Nations conference similar to this?”
Empress Xuan smiled." There are still many differences. We're only talking about money here."”
"The gold and currency system is much more important than what ordinary people know. In the past, people fought wars to fill their stomachs. Now, they fought wars for other benefits. Therefore, money was very important. They could buy anything. It was the same in the world.”Xu Haoran said.
"Human desires are endless. We should analyze what people want from the root so that the world can be more peaceful.”Sun Lingdong said.
"Then what do you think people want?" Wang Xiaohao asked him.
"If it's for freedom, you can throw both.”Sun Lingdong replied.
"I don't think so. Freedom also has a goal. Do people all over the world run around? Wealth, status, women, these were the real reasons.”Lei Xinnuo said.
Bian Kai said," It should be said that people want the right to speak and the right to mate. This is their basic need."”
"This is a man's need, right? I don't think women want these two things.”Fang Xiaogang said.
Sun Lingdong said,"People first need a belief, and then they need the freedom to pursue their beliefs."”
"Are they risking their lives for their beliefs? The first priority of all living creatures was survival.”Xiao Fuyun said.
"Yes, you have to live first, and then you have to raise your children. In the end, people still can't break away from these two instincts.”Wang Xiao Hao agreed.
"Humans have a complex social system, so there are many things that they want besides their instincts.”Bian Kai said.
"We seem to have gone off topic. Miss Yang Tian is asking what we think of this organization. Let's get back to the organization's functions.”Xu Haoran said to everyone.
"The main conflict in their meeting today is the proposal for Israel's national debt.”Fang Xiaogang said.
"Then do you think this proposal will be passed?" Empress Xuan nodded.”
The eight of them looked at each other. Most of them knew nothing about international politics and finance.
Xu Haoran put his hands on the table and said,""Probably. Won't the United States support them?”
At this moment, YYFC took the microphone again. Jennifer translated,"" In order to comply with our bank's consistent confidentiality and non-interference in the direction of funds, Israel's 50 billion national debt has no problem in terms of repayment ability. If you want to vote, the Federal Reserve can express its support.”
The person behind the Italian flag also said,"We also think that there is no problem. This is a very conventional national debt and is acceptable. Everyone needs money sometimes."
Bian Kai let out a long sigh after hearing what Jennifer said.""Looks like we don't need to make any predictions.”
The others looked at the atmosphere in the venue. Other than Turkey and the white-clothed Saudis, no one was interested in opposing such a small matter.
"This money will indeed be used to fight a war.”" There are a few areas that are currently engaged in crossfire," Mysterious Queen suddenly said." Armed soldiers and civilians are dying every day.”
Xiao Fuyun shook his head and sighed.
" There's nothing we can do about it. These are the representatives of the Central Bank. They've already decided. Do you think we can still rush in and shout 'I object!'?”？”Fang Xiaogang said.
"Yeah, we're just watching, aren't we?”Wang Xiaohao looked around and said.
Bian Kai smiled and looked at Empress Xuan.""Miss Yang, are we here to watch the show?”
"If you all have a unanimous opinion and want to object, you can tell me," Empress Xuan said indifferently.”
"I object," Xiao Fuyun said.”
Wang Xiaohao also said,"I also object."”
"Objection." Sun Lingdong raised his hand.”
Lei Xinnuo, Xu Haoran and Fang Xiaogang also expressed their opposition. Gray frowned and didn't say anything.
Bian Kai said,"Then what if we all oppose it?”
Empress Xuan did not answer. She turned her face to look at the venue on the curtain and closed her eyes.
There was a change in the venue. The white-haired old man from the German Central Bank took the microphone and shook his head."As far as I know, the money obtained by the Bank of Israel from issuing government bonds will basically be used for war expenses. Moreover, Germany can no longer accommodate more Middle Eastern refugees.”
The representative of the Swiss National Bank next to him, a square-faced man wearing glasses, took the microphone and said with a frown,"I am Thomas Jordan, President of the Swiss National Bank. I propose that we hold a vote on whether or not the Israel national debt will be issued at the Bank for International Settlement.”
The Federal Reserve representative, YYFC, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest and his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and asked for the microphone. After the microphone was handed to him, he said," Due to geographical reasons, I believe that European allies will have a more accurate judgment of the situation in the Middle East. If this money means war and death, I will never vote for it because of commercial interests. Thank you, everyone."
His words silenced the audience for three seconds. The sudden one-sided situation stunned the Israel. He took the microphone and said,""Have you forgotten our identity? We are now the shareholder representatives of the Bank for International Settlement, not some peace guardians who speculate about its member states. I don't know what made you suddenly abandon the tradition that our bank has adhered to for more than half a century and deviate from business habits. This will greatly damage the credibility and reputation of our bank's board of directors. I hope everyone will consider it carefully.”
His speech also caused the venue to fall silent. Many representatives of the major countries frowned and lowered their heads without saying a word. Some kept looking at their watches.
Jens Weidmann of the German Central Bank cleared his throat and said,""Then let's make a sign. Those who agree to the Bank of Israel's national debt being issued by our bank, please raise your hand.”
Only one-third of the people in the hall raised their hands.
Then, when he asked those who objected to raise their hands, more than half of them raised their hands.
The Israel man shook his head and sighed. Then he raised his hand to signal for the microphone and said,"Please allow me to make another trade proposal here. We request a swap transaction of 180 tons of gold.”
After Jennifer finished translating her words, the few laymen candidates looked at each other. Sun Lingdong asked Xu Haoran,""Mr. Xu works in a bank. May I know what a gold swap is?”
"I don't know about this either. I've never worked in a central bank before.”he said embarrassedly.
" It's the same as using gold as a loan," explained Empress Xuan." It's just that after the loan matures, it will be bought back at a pre-agreed price.”
"Is Israel that short of money?" Xu Haoran asked. These 180 tons should be their entire gold reserve.”It was as if he was trying to make up for the awkwardness of not understanding the gold swap.
"Why does it suddenly seem like no one is on Israel's side?" Fang Xiaogang asked in confusion. Did they hear our opposition?”
"Yeah, it's so sudden." Xiao Fu Yun smiled.
The candidates smiled and looked at each other. Bian Kai smiled and looked at Empress Xuan. Empress Xuan looked back at him generously without any change in expression.
The people in the venue began to whisper to each other. It was obvious that many central banks were interested in this transaction.
YYFC picked up the microphone and said," Everyone, 180 tons of gold is only worth more than 10 billion USD. This is just a financial instrument with a lower risk factor. We don't doubt Israel's ability to repay, but we don't want to see more battlefields in the news. This is our original intention. I hope Mr. Faith doesn't misunderstand.”
Most of the people present nodded in agreement. Fei Xue left angrily.
"His attitude has changed so much." Sun Lingdong said as he looked at YYFC on the screen.
"Miss Yang has proved the strength of the company to us.”Bian Kai said to everyone with a smile.
"Did our company influence this meeting?”Fang Xiaogang said in disbelief.
"Then what else? The banks they represented could not suddenly change their stance at such a meeting unless a group with a strong background suddenly pressured them.”Xu Haoran said.
Everyone was silent. Wang Xiaohao's head didn't move. His eyes looked at Empress Xuan, then at Bian Kai, and then at the others.
Jennifer took off her earphones and stood up, bowing slightly to Empress Xuan before bowing to the other eight. When they returned the greeting, she walked out of the meeting room with the elegance she had when she came.
Empress Xuan also stood up and smiled." Alright, that's all for today's observation activities. How about we have Chinese food for lunch?"”
Everyone stood up and agreed.
----------------------
The foggy road actually passed very quickly. Although it was cloudy after that, everything went smoothly. When they were about to reach Basel, Eva asked Andrew to return the car at Lucerme. The damaged car and broken glass attracted too much attention from the police, even though they did not meet anyone in uniform along the way.
Lucerme (Lucerne or Lucerne) was a famous tourist city built at the foot of the lake. Even with Andrew's national pride, he couldn't help but admire its beauty. Thirty thousand words were omitted here. Simply put, it was an ancient city with blue sky, green water, and green mountains.
Eva guided Andrew to the return point of Europcar and returned the Land Rover Defender. It was covered by insurance, but he still paid 8,000 euros as double compensation and swiped Eva's card.
When she was looking for a restaurant to eat in the lakeside Urban area, Andrew thoughtfully reminded her of a restaurant with a yellow square lamp hanging on the door. On it was written in Chinese,"Taibai Restaurant". Although he didn't know what was written, he knew that it was Chinese food. Eva shook her head and refused. Instead, she led him into a shopping mall and found a small restaurant with an Italian name on the second floor. The name of the restaurant was La Sinfonia.
This was the German-speaking area of Switzerland. Eva's fluent Swiss German made the waiters especially warm to them. Most of the people who came to eat here were Swiss locals, but Andrew, who only knew Italian, encountered a language problem.
He shook his head and asked her,"You grew up in Europe, didn't you? How would you have the time to learn these different languages in China?"”
"It seems that you don't know how excellent the early education system of our Chinese children is.”she said with a smile.
He shut his mouth in disbelief. After a while, he couldn't help but say,"I didn't expect you to be so good at sex education for children.”
Eva rolled her eyes at him." Be gentle," she said." People who understand Italian might think that there's some terrible relationship between us."”
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He said softly,"I mean, of course, the arrangements you made for me in Florence.”
" This is a tourist area, and Switzerland is a country where you can legally 'that'. If you need it, I can arrange another place for you."”Eva said casually as she ate.
Andrew continued to eat the meat on his plate with a vivid expression.
