Chapter 1084: A sky-high voucher
"I believe that as the people's confidence in us becomes more and more sufficient, more and more people will choose to hand over the vouchers to us, but now there is bad news that some people have begun to use US dollars to grab vouchers from us, and some of them have prices that are unusually high, to the point of exaggeration......"
"What, how high is the bid?"
Ye Lina was about to report endlessly, when Fang Chen suddenly interrupted her with a speech.
Hearing this, Yelena couldn't help but pause for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Twenty dollars a voucher." ”
At this time, Fang Chen looked at Yelena with a solemn expression, it was not unusual for someone to start buying vouchers with US dollars like him, or rather, this was the rule of the game he had formulated.
But the bid was as high as twenty dollars, more than three times his bid, which is simply sky-high, that would be strange!
After all, according to the laws of economy, even if it is a premium for the same item, it will not be too premium, even if this item is a rare treasure.
After all, all bidders want to get the goods at the lowest price, and only in this way can they maximize their profits.
Besides, now that the Foundation has just collapsed, the enthusiasm of the public to exchange vouchers for dollars is at an all-time high, in fact, it is relatively easy for anyone to do this.
In other words, the voucher market at this time is a blue ocean.
In the blue ocean, even companies with competing relationships tend to swallow more market share first, rather than fighting to the death with competitors.
This is something that can only be done in the Red Sea, after the market enters the stock market.
And at this time, Fang Chen had a not very good feeling in the dark.
He always felt that the side with these unusually high bids actually had the intention of swallowing up all the vouchers and pocketing them all.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to.
Only if you want to catch all the vouchers on the market, attract everyone to sell them to you, and block the possibility of others buying vouchers, will you pay an outrageously high price of 20 dollars.
Seeing Fang Chen's appearance, Yelena asked in some surprise: "Mr. Fang, is there anything strange about this? if they are willing to accept it, let them accept it, and see how much money they have!"
When the last sentence was spoken, Yelena's face was full of disdain.
She felt that Fang Chen was making a little fuss, when the voucher just appeared, the voucher market in Russia was simply mixed, chaotic, the foundation had, trying to buy the voucher, the person who was the boss himself, seeing the difference in the price of the voucher in each state and city, was willing to run between various cities to earn the difference.
Then there are fools who realize that Russian assets are incomparably cheap and are willing to pay a high price for the purchase voucher, and at the highest time, they also paid twenty dollars.
These people feel that with the value of Russian assets themselves, even if they buy a voucher for twenty dollars, they will definitely make a profit.
Even they were afraid that others would realize the huge profits of the existence of Russian assets, and they would not even be able to catch up with the heat when the time came, so they bought vouchers at high prices very early.
But soon these fools learned their lesson.
Now Russian enterprises are not suitable for foreign management, want to make the normal operation of the enterprise, most of them have to rely on the original management, after all, there are not many people in Russia who understand business management, let alone pull up a team to take over a comprehensive enterprise.
Coupled with the fact that the rate of depreciation of the Russian currency is much higher than the rate of inflation, it is simply the norm for companies to lose money, and it is very likely that the money earned from selling goods this month will not be enough to buy raw materials.
That's why Rudskoi's red directors can easily apply for a large amount of low-cost credit from the central bank.
It is also the reason why Chubais and Gaidar knew that this credit injection was digging into Russia's corner and dragging Russia into an even more terrifying abyss, and they had to pinch their noses and admit it.
If this is not injected with credit, these companies will not even be able to maintain normal operations, let alone produce products.
And once these enterprises are stopped, what awaits Russia is a large number of unemployed people, empty shops, and the people will not be able to guarantee even the basic necessities of life, and I am afraid that they will not be able to guarantee even the basic necessities of survival.
After all, although the Sino-Russian trading company transports tens of thousands of tons of various commodities every month, in fact, it can only meet the living needs of less than one-tenth of the Russians.
Most of the goods are still produced by local Russian enterprises.
There is no way, who made Russia a big country with a population of 1.5 billion.
If the life of the Russian people really fell into this situation, then what happened next can be imagined, and what happened to the Soviets will inevitably repeat itself in the current Russia.
Therefore, no matter how much Chubais and Gaidar grit their teeth and hate Rudskoi, they will not be able to prevent the Central Bank of Russia from continuing to extend credit to these enterprises and adding another fire to inflation.
Since these enterprises cannot be operated, they can be sold, and now Russia is full of people willing to buy enterprises.
But the problem is that the company they bought with a high-priced acquisition voucher is much more expensive than other methods, not to mention the existence of empty gloves and bugs like the Foundation.
As a result, these fools who bought vouchers at a high price in the early days could only cut their flesh one after another and admit their losses.
And in her opinion, these people who buy vouchers at high prices are nothing more than a bunch of fools.
Therefore, she really felt that Fang Chen was making a fuss.
Fang Chen thought for a while, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "It wouldn't be strange if one or two such strange things appeared when the voucher first appeared, but now, I don't think there should be many such fools, so let's let the people below investigate and see what kind of road these people are......"
Speaking of this, Fang Chen suddenly paused, and said: "Forget it, this matter, let's leave it to Berezovsky, he is better at this kind of thing." ”
Although Berezovsky did not become a big oligarch in his previous life, with his extraordinary skills and the connections he made from selling luxury cars, there is really nothing in Russia in general, especially in Moscow, that Berezovsky does not know and cannot find.
Especially since he felt that behind this high-priced purchase warrant, there must be some ulterior secrets, and Berezovsky should be allowed to investigate.
Seeing that Fang Chen not only disagreed with her opinion, but even planned to hand over the matter to Berezovsky to investigate, Yelena suddenly became a little anxious.
Fang Chen glanced at Yelena, and then said slowly: "How many people in Russia do you think are richer than me? Then why do I only have six dollars, and others dare to have twenty dollars?"
These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Yelena's body, pouring Yelena's whole body cold, and she woke up in an instant, and even involuntarily showed a trace of shame on her face.
Is there a person in Russia who is always rich?
Definitely not, even the second-ranked president of the Capital Savings Bank, Smolensky, is worth about one-tenth of the total.
Since there is no party always rich, why do these people dare to pay such a high price?
Really, she's still too insensitive.
Glancing at Chen Mingyong and asking Chen Mingyong to comfort Yelena, Fang Chen called Berezovsky directly.
Half an hour later, Berezovsky walked into the Grand Moscow Hotel with a folder in his hand.
Walking in front of Fang Chen, Berezovsky stared at Fang Chen with a strange expression, and stared at it for ten seconds, staring at Fang Chen so much that he felt that he was not wearing the right clothes today, naked, or eating food on his face, otherwise how could Berezovsky look at him with such strange eyes.
Knowing that if he continued to look like this, Fang Chen's fist would fall on his head, Berezovsky said with admiration: "You really guessed right, someone is a ghost, and he is still your old acquaintance. ”
"Soros?"
Hearing Berezovsky say this, Fang Chen subconsciously blurted out.
Berezovsky nodded heavily, confirming Fang Chen's conjecture.
Suddenly, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, his expression revealed a little playfulness, Soros was mixed in so quickly, it was really a bit beyond his expectations.
However, this also means that the game of chess in Russia is becoming more and more interesting.
With Soros here, then he is no longer the only one in Russia's chess game, to be honest, in terms of economy and business, playing against Rudskoi, it is really bullying Rudskoi.
"Tell me, why did Soros do this?" Fang Chen said with some curiosity.
"Actually, I don't know, I'm investigating now, and these people who are now buying vouchers at a high price are people from Rudskoi's line and have been in contact with Soros. Berezovsky said helplessly.
Although he can definitely be called supernatural and omniscient in Moscow, but the time given by Fang Chen is too short, if he comes to report at this time tomorrow, he can definitely check these people to the bottom.
"And it's strange that these people, who promise a price of $20 per voucher, have to pay it in 10 months, which means that they only pay $2 a month......"
Before Berezovsky could finish his words, Fang Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Ponzi scheme!"
Ponzi schemes?
Hearing this extremely unfamiliar word, Berezovsky, Chen Mingyong, and Yelena looked at Fang Chen with a confused expression.
First of all, the word scam is not a good word when you hear it, and the most important thing is that looking at Fang Chen's expression now, this Ponzi scheme is obviously something terrible.
At this time, the expression on Fang Chen's face was a little uncertain.
He is now almost certain that Soros is using a Ponzi scheme.
For Berezovsky, especially those who have long been in the Soviet Red Doctrine, it is normal not to understand the Ponzi scheme.
But for people like Fang Chen, who are in the era of the information explosion, Ponzi scheme is not an unfamiliar word.
And attracting capital investment with high returns that far exceed the average level of growth of social wealth, and then paying in installments, is typical of Ponzi schemes!
In fact, Ponzi scheme is simply to borrow new debt to repay old debts while promising high returns, and once the growth rate of new debts cannot keep up with the repayment rate of old debts, or the manipulator feels that the money has been absorbed enough, that is when the Ponzi scheme is broken.
"Is this Ponzi scheme very powerful?" asked Berezovsky curiously.
Fang Chen simply explained the principle and harm of the Ponzi scheme to the three people in front of him.
In other words, they only need to pay a small amount of the promised price, or even a tenth of it, to cheat people out of their vouchers. Yelena subconsciously swallowed and foamed.
She was really shocked, she could still play like this.
"Otherwise, we do the same? They do their Ponzi schemes, we do our Ponzi schemes. Yelena suggested with some heart.
She has now woken up to the fact that if Soros really plays like this, it will be really difficult for them to compete with Soros on the voucher.
After all, six dollars on one side and twenty dollars on the other, fools know which one to choose!
As for installments, it is not a problem for Russians, on the contrary, it is equivalent to helping them to make a mandatory deposit, so that they can have an income every month.
For Russians, who are in danger of being in danger and have money to exchange for daily necessities immediately, it is still a very happy thing to have an income every month that will not depreciate and even increase in value.
"Elena, do you understand? It's a scam! There will always be a day when the scam will be exposed, and someone will have to pay the price!" Berezovsky couldn't help but say.
He really thought that Yelena was crazy, otherwise how could he make such a suggestion.
"Just instruct the people below to do it, it's nothing more than letting them disappear temporarily for a few years after the scam is broken, otherwise what can I do?" said Yelena with a relaxed face.
She has already seen through that if she wants to compete with the other party, she must ensure that the price cannot be lower than the other party.
But be aware that it is possible for the other party to pay only a tenth of the same price, and they will have to pay in full.
In this way, it is equivalent to saying that their cost is ten times that of the other party, how can this work!
Even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, Fang always can't make up for such a big cost difference.
Therefore, she felt that it was better for her subordinates to follow the Ponzi scheme, which was nothing more than to make people disappear for a period of time.
"No, in this case, the entire voucher plan, and even the entire privatization, Russia will collapse!" Fang Chen shook his head and categorically refused.
