Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2459: Chapter 2297: Sanctions

Three days later.

Arctic.

The icebreaker ship departed from the ice zone, and this Arctic trip can be considered complete. There was no deep exploration to the North Pole, as time wouldn’t suffice for that.

Unless by flying.

Next year.

Ge Feng and others plan to visit the Antarctic once, but not at the end of the year like now, instead choosing July or August, as if to escape the summer heat.

Tang Qing will also go.

The main reason.

Is that Qin Shiqi and others are clamoring to join in the fun. Since he has nothing much to do anyway, he might as well accompany a few sisters for a summer vacation and also ensure safety.

Indeed.

There are fighters around.

However.

The strength of the fighters is still limited.

...

On the bow.

On the deck.

Tang Qing is enjoying the wind, showing off. Although the conditions are good, everyone is a bit tired; however, Tang Nian’er and the girls are full of spirit.

The next stop.

Norway.

After that.

They will take a plane to Davos to join in the fun, and then prepare to return home. Now, there are only two weeks left until the Spring Festival, and time is quite tight.

Therefore.

They won’t attend the entire event.

Just stay for two days.

Then leave.

Moreover.

This year is special; after holding the first collective company annual meeting, it hasn’t been held again. Tang Qing’s plan was to hold it every five years.

Now.

Five years have passed, it’s time to fulfill it.

...

January 24th.

Switzerland.

Ancient castle.

The sun sets in the west.

"As a result, it really is like this." Seeing the result of Greece’s second referendum, Chai Ren inwardly smiled bitterly. Previously, even domestic experts.

Thought the probability was low.

After all.

Greece in the Eurozone is clearly better than going solo. The Greek people were dazed once, and they should be clearer the second time. As facts prove.

It’s better to listen less to experts.

Predictions?

No.

They don’t have that ability; reverse analysis after results is their strong point. In the news, regarding this result, most Greek citizens expressed happiness.

As if.

They had hit the European Union’s sore spot.

At the same time.

Citizens of other Eurozone countries were also excited, clamoring to meet Greece’s demands and decisively kick it out of the Eurozone.

Some even took to the streets to celebrate with wine.

For a time.

It was bustling.

...

At the dinner table.

"What will the European Union do next?"

Chai Ren asked.

"Most likely, sanction Greece." Tang Qing smiled.

"Will they?"

"With Greece playing such a card, isn’t the European Union anxious? Shouldn’t they sit down to talk?" Qin Shiqi curiously asked while eating a crab leg.

Hearing this.

Tang Qing smiled.

"Yes."

"And no."

"Although the European Union does not want to see Greece leaving the group, it is not a soft persimmon either. Greece repeatedly forcing the European Union, the EU also has a temper."

"So, most likely, the reaction will be very tough. As for the subsequent development, it depends on the negotiation between both parties. Whether exiting or aiding."

"They both have rationality."

After listening.

Everyone nodded.

Although.

What he said was as good as not saying, as he also didn’t provide a definite conclusion, it was enough. This kind of thing is really difficult to predict the outcome of sincerely.

Tang Qing is not a deity who can predict everything.

...

The next day.

Afternoon.

On the way to Davos.

"Damn!"

"The sanctions have arrived." Chai Ren exclaimed.

Immediately.

Zheng Lin and others perked up, "So fast, what sanctions?"

"Restricting cash withdrawals from accounts," Chai Ren said. Just now, in response to Greece’s actions, the European Union expressed condemnation and directly imposed sanctions.

Starting from early morning tomorrow.

All across Greece.

Every bank, each person can only withdraw two hundred Euros in cash a day, and they did not rule out further restrictions, reducing the daily cash withdrawal amount.

The sanctions can be described as sharp.

To know.

After Greece abandoned its local currency for the Euro, its national currency circulation is entirely within the European Central Bank system, sanctioning it is not too simple a matter.

"Greece is about to be even more chaotic."

...

At this time.

Greece.

Seeing the sanction plan, they were a bit dumbfounded for a moment. They considered many EU measures, but most people did not expect a full-scale attack.

Targeting all Greek citizens.

Two hundred Euros?

Yes.

It’s almost enough.

However.

This is only the beginning, and the European Union has said that the next step may further reduce the withdrawal limit, possibly to one hundred, or even down to fifty Euros.

If so, their lives will definitely be affected.

Thus.

Many people felt timid inside.

However.

Before they could think too much, the domestic media in Greece directly lashed out, criticizing the European Union for not undertaking such measures against ordinary citizens.

"Despicable means."

"We Greeks will never compromise."

"..."

For a time.

The originally timid heart instantly became bold.

Yes!

After all, we are Greece, with a long history, and once thrived in the past. In this modern era, do we still have to act according to the EU’s face?

Unacceptable.

This face.

Cannot be lost.

"We must leave the group, such excellent we can also live well on our own." The direction of public opinion re-energized the Greek citizens.

Counterattack.

Similarly.

French and German citizens applauded. On various social software, they seized upon Greeks, giving them a barrage of criticism, showcasing a sense of superiority.

See!

This is the result of jumping ship.

Conflict.

Deepens.

...

Greece.

Presidential Palace.

"Hmm."

"Yes, we can’t be cowardly." The President was very satisfied with the citizens’ reaction, not fearing the escalation. Just fearing it wouldn’t escalate, thus increasing Greece’s leverage.

Restricting the cash withdrawal limit is merely a growing pain.

Everything.

For a better tomorrow.

Keep it up.

Fight.

Although somewhat feeling that the situation seems to be spiraling out of control, he didn’t think much about it, as the critical time is within his term, to hold on.

Future things.

Leave it to the next administration to worry about.

Even if.

Conflict escalates, really during his tenure, forcing to the point of leaving the group, he can also admit defeat or interfere with the process of leaving the group.

After all.

To quit involves too much. As long as the President is willing, delaying three to five years is not a difficult matter, and in fact, he doesn’t really plan to leave the group.

Staying in the Eurozone, isn’t it nice to keep profiting?

...

At this moment.

Tang Qing has already arrived in Davos, where it is still lively this year, full of entrepreneurs and political figures. The first time visiting, Qin Shiqi is very excited.

Exploring around.

Tang Qing did not follow.

Can’t help it.

He is too conspicuous; once he goes out, he might be photographed by journalists. In the living room, seeing the development of the Greece situation, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Next, it’s time for a change in actors."

The current Greek President.

Opposes leaving the group.

Therefore.

Relying on him, forget it; reaching the current development of the situation, he needs to accelerate the pace of Greece leaving the group. This kind of thing, once promoted.

Can’t drag it.

Once dragged.

Changes can happen; for example, Greek public sentiment, now highly agitated, half a year later... if they get used to it, what will they do?

So.

Greece.

Needs a new President now.
