Impossible

"Mr. Lin Qi, Mr. He Bosi wishes to see you..."

The hotel receptionist called Lin Qi, who was resting, after he had just finished negotiations with Gefra regarding cultural exchange.

Lin Qi's arguments impressed the Gefra court, and they ultimately decided to engage in limited, multi-faceted exchanges with the powerful Federal in socio-cultural matters, instead of blindly and foolishly believing that all other cultures in the world were worth paying attention to except for Gefra's.

This is also an effect of military and political strength; when you are weak, even if you shout frantically, people will only perceive it as boring noise.

But if you are powerful enough, even if you speak softly, those who didn't hear what you said, or those whose words had nothing to do with you, will try their best to find out what you said in order to avoid becoming your enemy.

The Gefra hoped to use culture to let the Federal people know that they were not an evil entity—social progress had made the monarchy appear evil and corrupt to some, and Gefra, as Victorious Country and a representative of aggression, did not have a good international image.

If the Federal can be influenced by culture to align its values and worldview with those of the Gefra, then military conflict between the Gefra and the Federal is less likely in the future.

This is a proven fact; the previous escapism and the current active expansion are actually manifestations of the needs of the grassroots people in the Federal society.

Persuading the people of the Federal was tantamount to persuading the Federal Government, which was one of the key reasons why the Gefra agreed to cultural exchange.

This is a positive sign and plays a crucial role in advancing the world peace process.

It is worth mentioning that the list of cultural exchange items naturally includes various film exchanges, and Jenia has become a representative for this purpose. She will travel to the Federal with the exchange group when the two sides finally begin their cultural exchange.

Furthermore, at Jenia's suggestion, Gefra and the Federal will co-produce no fewer than three mainstream works in future exchanges, with Jenia playing the female lead in one of the films.

Overall, both sides were very satisfied with the negotiations in this regard, and then the current problems erupted in Nagaril.

Lin Qi had been keeping a close eye on the situation in Nagaril from his hotel room for the past few days, so Mr. He Bosi' visit was exactly what he had expected.

This morning at the Gefra Venus Exchange, the Exchange Rate of Galil to Vla has fallen to 300 to 1, which translates to approximately 170 to 180 to 1 in Federal Sol. This represents another precipitous drop compared to last night.

Many international observers believe that the situation in Nagaril is unlikely to improve in the short term. The Federal's refusal to offer assistance to the Nagaril authorities at this critical juncture is also a signal to other countries and individuals not to interfere in Nagaril's internal affairs.

The authorities and the royal family have yet to come up with an effective solution to these problems; they can even be said to have done nothing at all.

This also means that they are less likely to quickly clean up the mess, and these problems may persist for a long time until the Nagaril United Kingdom is completely replaced by a new political system.

Some bolder newspapers even used "Countdown to Demise" as the headline for their news reports about Nagaril, which shows that the world has no hope for the Nagaril royal family in the face of its current predicament.

This forced Mr. He Bosi to take the initiative to see Lin Qi. He still had a chance to minimize his losses. If he could get back all the Galil now, or at least his share, he could repay the loans as soon as possible and then sell the remaining ones to even more reckless speculators by amplifying the Exchange Rate! Despite the Galil's sharp drop in Exchange Rate these past few days, there is still no shortage of crazy gamblers willing to "buy the dip," just like during the Federal Financial Tsunami a few years ago, when many people were willing to gamble on the odds.

If Nagaril reaches some agreement with the Federal, or with other countries, as long as the government can be maintained and Galil does not withdraw from the international monetary environment, then their bargain hunting will be valuable and can yield considerable returns.

In fact, Lin Qi had done something similar before, when he and another Mr. Herbert went on a buying spree of Gefra War Bonds that were worthless.

At the time, many people thought he was out of his mind, as he had invested all the money he had earned, which was nothing short of crazy.

He's not much different from those people nowadays; they're gambling on Ten Thousandth chance of multiplying their investment by tens or hundreds of times, which is what drives people crazy.

In normal investment, even doubling your investment is extremely difficult, and the larger the amount of capital, the less likely it is to happen. But here, it is possible. As long as the rate of return is amazing enough, there will always be people willing to try.

There's no shortage of lunatics in this world, so as long as Mr. He Bosi can get his money back, he can minimize his losses as much as possible.

Not long after, Lin Qi met Mr. He Bosi in the reception Living Room. Compared to their last meeting at the party, Mr. He Bosi looked extremely haggard and disheveled.

His hair was no longer neatly plastered to his scalp as before, but rather somewhat disheveled, and his eyes lacked focus, revealing a deep sense of fatigue.

"Mr. Lin Qi, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me..." Mr. He Bosi had completely lost his former pride. He had discovered Lin Qi's conspiracy long before Galil collapsed, but he had no way to avoid it.

International competition between nations is not something a Prince a small country can interfere with. Once a process of this scale is initiated, the power of an individual is almost completely ineffective.

He knew he was about to fall into the abyss, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only watch helplessly.

When he came to find Lin Qi, he only wanted to try to persuade Lin Qi to reduce his losses, considering that Lin Qi had raised so much money for him.

His language and humility, even his modesty, were things he had never shown in front of Lin Qi.

No matter what praise Lin Qi received from the world, Mr. He Bosi never thought Lin Qi was better than himself. On the contrary, he had his own pride and didn't really respect Lin Qi.

Whether it was because he caused Lin Qi to lose millions of dollars in working capital during their first meeting, or because he was richer and more prestigious than Lin Qi Lin Qi when they met later, he always believed that he was superior to Lin Qi, which made it impossible for him to admit his mistake.

But now...

Lin Qi smiled. "Please sit down, Mr. He Bosi. You're too kind; it makes me feel uncomfortable." He paused, then added, "Would you like something to drink?"

"No..." Mr. He Bosi instinctively rejected the offer, but quickly changed his mind, "...coffee, please, thank you."

Lin Qi had two cups of coffee brought in. The two men each picked up a cup, took a sip, and the room became somewhat quiet.

Lin Qi remained unmoved, still wearing his usual smiling expression, but Mr. He Bosi couldn't wait any longer. He put down his coffee cup and looked at Lin Qi, "Mr. Lin Qi, regarding our deal..."

"Is it... possible to end this early?" Mr. He Bosi said, carefully considering his words as he cautiously negotiated. "As you know, Galil's stock price has plummeted. I can pay some penalty fees, but I hope to get back a portion of the funds ahead of schedule, my part."

He looked at Lin Qi with expectant eyes, but Lin Qi casually asked in return, "What does all this have to do with me, Mr. He Bosi? I don't quite understand."

"Our business deal was based on a contract. Before this, when the Galil was appreciating wildly, my risk increased infinitely, but I never suggested terminating the contract early because we had signed a contract, and everything was governed by the contract!"

"I'm also very sad that the Galil has depreciated, but terminating the contract early..." Lin Qi shook his head. "That's impossible, Mr. He Bosi. Even if you pay me the penalty, I will lose a lot of money!"

Lin Qi's statement is reasonable and well-founded. As one of the borrowers, Lin Qi also bore a great deal of risk and pressure during the rapid appreciation of the Nagaril.

The purpose of borrowing money is definitely not to leave it unused, but to use it. As long as it is used, an exchange rate difference will be generated. In the process of continuous Exchange Rate appreciation, the risk and pressure on the borrower will increase exponentially.

Suppose Lin Qi spends his money Sol Galil when the Exchange Rate is 100 to 1. Galil keeps appreciating, eventually reaching a rate of 50 to 1.

So, if Lin Qi wanted to get back 100 Galil, he would have to spend 2 Federal Sol to exchange for it, which meant a loss of 1 yuan due to Exchange Rate fluctuations! Lin Qi borrowed so much money, 10 billion. According to the Exchange Rate at the time, even if he spent this money and the Galil Exchange Rate didn't collapse, he would still lose at least tens of millions of Federal Sol when the contract expired, even if he didn't have to pay interest!

His argument was completely valid, leaving Mr. He Bosi speechless.

Indeed, when Lin Qi was at risk, Lin Qi didn't suggest terminating the deal early, and even if he had, Mr. He Bosi wouldn't have agreed.

Now that the risks and pressures have shifted, it's his turn to feel the immense trouble. He wants to terminate the contract early, but Lin Qi certainly won't agree.

He licked his lips, looking somewhat pitiful. "I'm old now, I can't take such a blow, and I will do my best to make up for your loss, Mr. Lin Qi..."
