Chapter 727: Fang Chen's Reward Is Here!

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Gaidar and Chubais couldn't help but glance at Fang Chen gratefully, someone finally said a fair word for them.

Rudskoi has always said that it is they who have turned Russia into an economic garbage heap.

But in reality, it was Rudskoi and these warmongers who sent Russia to the edge of the cliff.

Even if it weren't for Rudskoi, the former directors and managers of Soviet factories who were not engaged in production in a down-to-earth manner, supplying goods to the Russian market, and only caring about making money for themselves and allowing inflation, why would they resort to such radical privatization methods.

"It can even be said that after such a long period of depreciation, the value of the ruble is no longer important, even if it is depreciated two or three times more, it does not matter, anyway, the ruble has already depreciated a thousand times. And why I use dollars when I set the price, it is also for this reason, if it is denominated in dollars, the moment the voucher is announced, multiply the exchange rate of the day by 12 billion dollars, and in rubles, I am afraid that I will need to calculate the price again on the day of the announcement. Gaidar was a little excited, even indignant.

As Russia's first deputy prime minister and the architect of the country's economic policy, he was forced to use the dollar as an anchor to price Russia's total assets, which would make a mockery of him if anyone else knew.

"Or the voucher does not say that this is a ruble, but points, gift certificates, etc., even if it is anything, in fact, it is okay, after all, the voucher is just a voucher, not real currency, it can only be used to buy businesses, but I can only design the voucher similar to the ruble, because I want the Russians to know that this is a gift for them, it is worth the same as money, and at that time I will tell them that one day, this voucher can be exchanged for two Volga cars!"

The more Gaidar spoke, the more impassioned he became, and at the end of the day, he even roared loudly.

Looking at this scene, Fang Chen's eyes flashed with astonishment, as Gaidar's taciturn character and cherishing words like gold, he rarely saw Gaidar so excited.

But he really has to say that the voucher plan, like the franchise bank plan, has failed, and the failure is a mess.

Gaidar and Chubais had good intentions, they hoped to find truly qualified business owners through vouchers, so that these qualified business owners could take ownership of the business, produce sufficient, even good goods for the Laupu masses, and let ordinary Russians get a return on capital while meeting their own living needs.

Save the enterprise! Save the Russians! Save Russia!

But as Fang Chen said before, people's hearts are broken, and no matter how good the policy is, it is useless.

Gaidar thinks that after ordinary Russians get the voucher and become the owner of the enterprise, they will elect reliable managers, but often these selected managers, after obtaining the ownership of the enterprise, will try their best to hollow out the enterprise and sell the enterprise to obtain higher profits.

The dividends that ordinary Russians thought they could get naturally no longer existed, but instead witnessed this dirty scene.

The disillusioned Russians, who soon distrusted the vouchers, also no longer wanted to be shareholders in the enterprise, but the policy of Gaidar and Chubais to buy Russian assets on vouchers still existed.

And then some people with a heart set their sights on this.

They buy vouchers from the people, then they use them to buy Russian assets, and then they sell factories, shops, oil fields.

And the people are forced by life, or see that it is profitable, and they are willing to sell the vouchers in their hands like waste paper to these caring people.

At that time, the price of the voucher was random, and it could be sold for more than twenty dollars on a high level and only four or five dollars on a low one, depending on the changes in the political climate in Russia.

Speaking of which, Fang Chen felt a little sad for Gaidar and Chubais, who said that the voucher for two Vodgart cars in the future was only worth a few dollars in the end, and buried the last bit of Russian money.

It can even be said that the emergence of the voucher policy has made the process of selling Russian assets more advantageous and simpler for those who have intentions, or oligarchs.

They don't have to go to auctions to bid with others, and they don't have to go through the trouble of trying to win people's trust in order to get the right to operate, but they can directly buy Russian assets with enough vouchers and sell them.

"Fang, do you think there's anything wrong with the voucher plan?" Gaidar and Chubais looked at Fang Chen a little nervously.

Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Although he knew about the failures of the franchise bank and the voucher scheme because of his previous life, he was not able to change them.

After all, when it comes to the formulation of economic policy, Gaidar and Chubais's actual level is more than eighteen streets behind him, and neither of them can find a solution to the problem, how can he find it?

This self-knowledge, Fang Chen still has it.

In addition, Russia's economic problems are now a dead knot, and no one can do anything about it.

The directors and managers of the factories who were in power did not do anything, and they only wanted to hollow out the enterprises and dig into the corners of Russia.

So Gaidar and Chubais are trying to find a way to distribute Russian assets to everyone, but the problem is that no matter whether they auction off the company or let the Russians buy the company with vouchers, it can't change the reality that these people will sell the business after they get the ownership of the business.

In other words, whoever gets the ownership of these companies will hollow out and sell them.

Gaidar and they need people to run the business, but when people get the business, they sell it, and it's an endless cycle.

Unless they can run the business without people, with robots, or the company is state-owned, and no one can buy or sell.

The former is, Fang Chen has also seen a lot of automated factories, but he only said that he would liberate the grassroots labor force and assembly line workers, but the managers are still people.

The problem with the latter is that Russia is now a capitalist country, and in the eyes of Yeltsin and Gaidar, it doesn't matter whether Russia's assets belong to the people or foreign capitalists, but they can't be state.

They worked hard to overthrow the Soviets for the sake of freedom, democracy, and a market economy, to free Russia from the clutches of the Soviets, and to turn state ownership into private ownership.

Now to say that the enterprise is state, isn't this a slap in the face for themselves?

And what is the point of them overthrowing the Soviets?

"You two give me the report to Mr. President, and I will sign it now. Fang Chen said slowly.

Hearing this, Gaidar and Chubaiston were overjoyed, and directly took out a document and put it in front of Fang Chen.

The most important reason why they invited Fang Chen over was to get Fang Chen's signature.

In the field of the Russian economy, there are four people who have the right to speak, in addition to the two of them, that is, Fang Chen, the richest man in Russia, and Kadannikov, the current deputy prime minister, the former director of the Volga Automobile Plant.

With Fang Chen's signature and endorsement, the two plans of the concession bank and the voucher will undoubtedly be more powerful, and they will not be vetoed by Rudskoi, and the resistance to implementation will be much smaller.

After seeing Fang Chen finish signing, Chubais said with a worried face: "What about Kadannikov?"

Seeing this, Fang Chen glanced at Chubais, a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, now that he knows Kadannikov, why did he go earlier.

As I said before, Kadannikov and Gaidar did not deal with each other, and for Kadannikov, when he became the youngest provincial cadre of the Soviet state, the director of the Volga Automobile Plant, Gaidar and Chubais were still in high school.

Now it's a good thing, the two of them climbed on Kadannikov's head at once, how can Kadannikov be convinced, and he has been openly and secretly against the two.

Both gangs have lived several times, both openly and secretly, but it was Kadannikov who suffered.

There is no way, who let Gaidar and Chubais stand behind Yeltsin, how can Kadannikov fight these two in the case that Yeltsin deliberately pulled the shelf.

Even if it weren't for Kadanikov's strong background, his father was a Soviet general, his family had many connections, his protégés, and countless comrades-in-arms, Kadannikov would have been killed by Gaidar and Chubais.

Later, it was Fang Chen who persuaded Kadannikov and let Kadannikov know that with Yeltsin's support, it was impossible for him to fight against Gaidar and the two.

From then on, Kadannikov took a step back, and Gaidar and the others could be regarded as giving Fang Chen face, so they didn't fight anymore.

Seeing Fang Chen's appearance, Gaidar and Chubais couldn't help but have a trace of embarrassment on their faces, and were about to open their mouths to speak, but they were stopped by Fang Chen.

"Okay, don't say so much, I'll persuade him on Kadannikov's side, I'll give you news within two days, as for what kind of conditions you offer him, it's a matter between the three of you, and I won't get involved. Fang Chen waved his hand and said casually.

"That's fine, we'll definitely satisfy Kadannikov. Chubais said happily.

If these two plans cannot be implemented, the Russian ruble depreciates, and the inflation situation cannot be contained, they may have to follow in Popov's footsteps, and it is impossible for Rudskoi to let them go.

And now one of them is the nominal first deputy prime minister, the actual prime minister, and the other is the head of the president's office, Yeltsin's big butler, and they have a lot of resources in their hands to exchange with Kadannikov.

"In addition, as for the share of vouchers, I plan to give you a share of the vouchers for the purchase of 20 million US dollars, what do you think?" Gaidar said with a smile on his face as he stared at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the reward he signed came.
