Without much delay, Jiang Fei set off directly to the consul's residence. When he arrived, a large number of officials and wealthy businessmen had already gathered in the consul's reception hall.
"What should we do in this situation?"
"It's all that Ralph's fault. Nothing good has happened since he was in power!"
"Yeah! If it weren't for his stupid idea, this kind of trouble wouldn't have happened! "
"Don't blame Master Ralph. No one wanted this kind of accident to happen."
"Hmph! What's the use of flattering him? This kid will be finished soon. He made such a big mess. The consul will be lucky not to kill him! "
…
As soon as Jiang Fei entered the door, he heard a lot of people talking. Many of them were slandering him. Previously, when Jiang Fei dealt with the officials of the Ministry of Engineering, he had already offended a lot of people. So, he expected these people to add insult to injury at this time.
However, when Jiang Fei appeared, these guys all shut up. It was okay to talk about him behind his back, but before the Consul dealt with Jiang Fei, he was still the second-in-command of the Gamma Space. If they offended him, they would have to face the same fate as the bureaucrats in the Ministry of Engineering.
Although this group of people did not dare to accuse Jiang Fei of anything in front of him, they did not swarm over to flatter him like before. This time, these people now believed that Jiang Fei was definitely going to die, so they all kept their distance from him and even pretended not to see him.
"Hehe, you guys are quite early!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"You can still laugh now, but you'll be crying later!" Someone muttered.
"If you have anything to say, why don't you say it in person? What's the difference between you and a mouse?" Jiang Fei said sarcastically.
In the face of Jiang Fei's sarcasm, no one present dared to say anything.
About ten minutes later, the consul came to the hall accompanied by two advisors.
"Everyone, let's cut the crap. Now that the situation we are facing is in front of us, do you have any ideas?" The consul asked directly.
Swoosh! Almost at the same time, everyone turned to look at Jiang Fei.
Firstly, it was because Jiang Fei had dealt with the previous economic crisis. Secondly, it was because he was the one who made the mess this time. So, everyone naturally looked at him.
"Sir, it's my incompetence that caused this situation today." Jiang Fei first apologized to the Consul.
"Don't talk about these useless things. I want to know how to clean up this situation!" The Consul waved his hand. Although he wanted to punish Jiang Fei now, Jiang Fei was currently the most likely person to solve the crisis. If he were to be punished, then there would be no way to resolve this crisis.
"…" Jiang Fei pretended to ponder for a moment, then raised his head and said to the consul, "Currently, we have two ways to solve the current crisis."
"Oh?!" The Consul laughed when he heard that. He said to Jiang Fei, "I knew you would have a way, but I didn't expect you to come up with two in such a short time!"
As soon as the Consul said this, the faces of many people present turned ugly. Although these guys did not directly contradict Jiang Fei just now, they had already offended Jiang Fei. They originally thought that Jiang Fei was finished, which was why they were so unscrupulous. In the end, they did not expect Jiang Fei to have a way to solve the current crisis. If that was the case, after the crisis was resolved, Jiang Fei would definitely be more trusted by the Consul. At that time, would he not take revenge?
At the thought of this, the people present who had just given Jiang Fei a hard time just now all looked as if they had lost their parents. Their faces drooped like donkeys, and many people even broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, sir. Both of my plans can solve the current crisis, but neither of them is perfect. They each have their own flaws. I wonder which one would you like to use, sir?" Jiang Fei said.
"Tell me about it," the Consul said.
"It's like this, sir. The first plan is more crude. You directly announce the abolition of all currencies. The entire Gamma Space will be under military control. All materials will be forcibly collected and rationed. Everyone will receive a fixed amount, and no one will be allowed to trade. All debts will be nullified on the spot, and the entire financial order will be rebuilt!" Jiang Fei said.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"This is too much! Why should we abolish the currency? Why should we forcibly collect materials? This is our private property. Private property is sacred and inviolable. Do you understand? "
…
As soon as Jiang Fei's plan came out, the people below exploded. Unlike the people at the bottom who jumped off the building in debt, these guys at the top of the pyramid still had a lot of wealth even if the economic crisis came. Of course, they could not agree to Jiang Fei's plan of robbing the rich to help the poor.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with voices of opposition. Jiang Fei's first plan was actually the most efficient. If it was put to a referendum, it would definitely be passed. After all, most people could not survive now. They were burdened with debts that they would never be able to repay in their lifetime. If they could get rid of their debts, they would have the capital to start a new life.
However, among the people present, there were no civilians. They were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. How could they agree to Jiang Fei's plan to rob them of their vested interests?
"Okay, tell me about your second plan." The Consul also waved his hand. He was the richest person in the entire Gamma Space, so he would not agree to this plan unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei nodded. He already knew that the plan from the first day would not work. The reason why he had brought it up was so that he could bargain with them.
Jiang Fei was using a very classic negotiation technique. First, he would offer a price that the other party could not accept. Then, after the other party rejected him, he would offer a price that the other party was not willing to accept. This way, because the other party had already rejected him, the other party would instinctively be reluctant to reject him again. Thus, there was a higher chance that the other party would agree to the price that was both acceptable and slightly higher.
"My second plan is very complicated. First, the government has to privatize the twenty banks and use the government's credit to support them. Otherwise, the nearly two trillion in bad debts will be enough to make them all go bankrupt. At that time, the monetary system will also collapse, and the disaster will further worsen," Jiang Fei said.
"And then?" The Consul asked. Although he did not quite understand the consequences of privatizing twenty banks, at least it sounded more feasible than the first plan.
"Then, we have to cut interest rates and extend the loan repayment period. We have to give the borrowers time to breathe so that they will not be driven into a dead end!" Jiang Fei said.
