Chapter 76: Impossible message

'Zhou Ming, don't go too far! Our Dota project is the crystallisation of the wisdom of the entire Western world. You were invited out of courtesy, not because you are indispensable! Look at what kind of person you are. Are you worthy to say the words 'I'm sorry' to us?'

David and William immediately stood up angrily. They couldn't help being angry. As people in control of wealth, they both had very strong egos. William, in particular, took it very seriously when David even failed to address him as 'Sir'.

William was different on the other side. He also had an ego, but it wasn't as heavy as David's. He was more concerned about his hot temper and his respect for Mr. Meta.

For them, Mr. Maita's initiative to come to the door today to find an unknown Chinese person and re-invite him to return to the Dota project was already a very low-status move. He only invited you because he respects you. You should know that the Dota project is the culmination of financial wisdom from all over the world. Many people have sharpened their heads but have no chance to get in. Now inviting you, Zhou Ming, is unprecedented. But you don't know how to handle it, so how can they not feel a sense of humiliation and anger? In their eyes, Zhou Ming said this on purpose, with the aim of raising his own value.

Facing the anger of Davier and William, Zhou Ming just looked up at them with a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown, without answering. Zhou Ming simply didn't bother to answer. In his opinion, the pride of these two Western gentlemen was really laughable.

Compared to Davier and William, Mr. Maita was much more reasonable. After thinking for a moment, he asked, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, do you have any concerns?'

'Mr. Maita is still amazing, hitting the nail on the head,'

Zhou Ming said, although he did not deliberately point out anything in this sentence, it still made the faces of both Davier and William become very embarrassed.

As important figures in the Dota project, their IQs are very high. How could they not hear the meaning in these words, and how could they not hear their impatience and misinterpretation? So they did not dare to look at Zhou Ming again, because it made them feel so ashamed that they wished they could find a crack in the ground and just disappear.

But none of this mattered. They could only say that they had an over-inflated sense of self-esteem and had not considered the situation thoroughly enough. What made them feel most ashamed was that Zhou Ming had completely ignored their words. In their opinion, they would even be happy if Zhou Ming mocked them a little, but he should not have said nothing at all. This feeling of being ignored made them feel even more ashamed.

However, Zhou Ming had no time to pay any attention to these two Americans with extremely strong egos. He then asked Meita, 'I wonder what Mr. Meita thinks your identity is here in Northern Russia with your Dota project? And what is my identity here?'

Meita did not answer Zhou Ming's question, but first frowned, and not only him, but also David and William beside him, all fell into thought. It was just that they were like this not because Zhou Ming's question was profound, but rather his question was very simple. First, what is the identity of Mr. Meita and the Dota Project in Northern Russia? Simply put, they are robbers who plunder wealth. As for Zhou Ming, of course he is also a member of this gang of robbers.

If they weren't robbers, the wealth of this superpower would not keep flowing into their pockets. If they weren't robbers, the citizens of this superpower would not have gone from paradise to beggars who could not afford to eat and had to go begging on the streets overnight. It's just that their current method of robbery is not barbaric, but instead has a very elegant name, called financial investment.

It doesn't matter what you call it, what matters is the result.

In this way, it seems that Zhou Ming is no different from Meta and his Dota Project. However, this is not the case. Zhou Ming used to be part of the Dota Project and relied on the funding from the Dota Project to come to Krisco. Even the guide and translator by his side were arranged by the Dota Project. However, everything changed after Zhou Ming arrived here.

First, Zhou Ming persuaded Nikolai Nikolayevich, the President of Northern Russia, to leave the White House and give a speech from a tank, ending the coup. Zhou Ming was also fired for disrupting the layout of the Dota Project.

However, Zhou Ming's footsteps did not stop because he was removed from the Dota Project. Instead, through his own efforts, he united local Northern Russian businessmen to form his own power. Although this was still a joke in front of the Dota Project, he kept trying. Later, he found the key point and joined forces with the Port City consortium to ship in ten thousand tons of daily necessities for sale by sea, with the aim of gaining control of the ruble.

This seems like a mythical impossibility, but Zhou Ming did it. In just one day, hundreds of millions of rubles were brought under Zhou Ming's control through the Cherv Market.

This is just one day's time, so what about ten days and half a month? Of course, it is not to say that the Cherv Market can have such a terrifying sales volume every day, but it will not be much worse. More importantly, through the sales in the Cherv Market, Zhou Ming has revitalised the ruble exchange rate, causing it to rise again.

It is not that Meta cannot push the ruble exchange rate back down again, but as an expert in financial warfare, there are naturally more things for him to consider.

Whether it is Zhou Ming, local businessmen in Northern Russia, or the consortium in the port city, none of them are taken seriously by this Mr. Mata. Otherwise, Davier would not have been so arrogant in front of Zhou Ming in the first place, and Mata would hardly care about these things. However, when they are combined together, they have become a headache for him. Because if Zhou Ming really controls tens or even hundreds of billions of rubles, then I am afraid that the dominant position here in Northern Russia will change hands.

It is precisely for this reason that Maita would condescend to come to him today, and the president Nikolayevich who had already moved into the Kremlin yesterday would go to the Chelf market.

No matter how they do not admit it, Zhou Ming has already become a very important force in Northern Russia.

Since it is a force that exists independently, it cannot cooperate with others casually, especially at this time.

'I know that you, Mr. Meta, have a deal with the president in the Kremlin, but that is also based on the premise that you only plunder wealth and do not interfere in politics. However, now that I have begun to control the ruble through the sale of daily necessities and have the ability to shake up politics, if I cooperate with you, Mr. Meta, I am afraid that this president will not be able to sleep peacefully.' Zhou Ming said to Mr. Meta.

Maita understood these words from Zhou Ming. After all, as the president of the Northern Russian Republic, Nikolaevich would want to rise to power and would make certain deals with him, and he would also sell out his country. However, there must be a limit to his betrayal of his country, and it would definitely be on the premise of not shaking his power base. Once he crossed the line, he would turn his face away. Anyway, the position of a country's president is always much better than that of a spy.

Nikolaevich has always done this. No matter how the ruble exchange rate on the stock market plummeted before, and no matter that no one in Krisko could survive, he never cared. But now Zhou Ming is gaining control of the ruble through the sale of daily necessities, and is about to become a financial presence that surpasses the banks. In the future, it is inevitable that it will affect the political direction of Northern Russia. It is easy to understand that he will definitely turn his back.

After all, this is still Northern Russia, and although Nikolayevich has not yet taken over the nuclear arsenal of this superpower, he at least controls the garrison of the capital. Given the nature of this country, it is really hard to predict what will happen.

Thinking about this, Maita said with emotion, 'Mr. Zhou Ming is truly a person who leads an entire trend. Your thinking is very clear.'

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, folded his arms: 'I'd like to be clear-headed, but on the one hand, there's making money easily, and on the other, there's making money at the risk of one's life. I think even an idiot can make the right choice. What do you think, Mr. Meta?'

This rhetorical question made Davie and William feel annoyed once again, because the analogy was outrageous. However, due to the previous shameful behaviour in front of Zhou Ming, they did not speak up at the first opportunity.

'Then it seems that I am destined to return today without any achievement,' Meita also helplessly said to Ming Zhou.

'It is you, Mr. Meita, not me, who will return without any achievement,' Ming Zhou said, 'actually, personally, I really don't want you to return without any achievement, because like your Dota project, my goal is to make money, and only together with your Dota project can I maximise my interests. After all, there are many things that you are capable of doing that I am not.'

David and William were at a loss. This time, William could no longer hold back and asked, 'Zhou Ming, what are you trying to say? Do you want to cooperate with us again?'

'Is this William? I still hope that you can listen to me carefully. It is impossible for me to cooperate with the Dota Project, but we can work together on some things.'

Zhou Ming said to William, and his tone made William feel most uncomfortable. However, at this time, William did not respond.

On the other side, Davier heard the unspoken meaning in Zhou Ming's words. He asked Zhou Ming, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, by saying this, do you have some news to tell us?'

Originally, Davier was just testing the waters with this question, but he didn't expect Zhou Ming to actually answer, 'I do have some very important news. I believe you all know about what happened yesterday when the President came to the Cherv Market. I spoke with him at length. The President is deeply worried about the current situation of the ruble, so he is preparing to issue a new ruble.'

Hearing Zhou Ming's answer, William's bottom suddenly jumped up as if a spring had been installed underneath him. Looking at Zhou Ming in disbelief, he exclaimed, 'This is impossible! Zhou Ming, you must be deceiving us. How could this country issue new rubles just because of something you did?'

Next to him, David was doubtful: 'The issuance of each currency should be a country's top secret. I don't believe Nikolayevich would be so stupid as to tell you this news.'

Only Mr. Maita looked at Zhou Ming wordlessly, wondering what he was thinking.
