Chapter 208 Opening a Bank
He led Chen Mingyong to the Automobile Alliance Company for a walk, and then in the evening Fang Chen called Berezovsky and some middle-level cadres of the Automobile Alliance to have a meal, and told Chen Mingyong about the company's deputy general manager.
Berezovsky immediately welcomed him.
After stunting Berezovsky, watching Berezovsky and Chen Mingyong hugging each other and chatting in English, Fang Chen's heart was half relieved.
Who said that the boss can do whatever he wants, and the one who presses, beats, coaxes, and holds on to his subordinates is a good boss.
Berezovsky himself knew in his heart that it was not realistic for Fang Chen to be completely handed over to him alone for such a large enterprise as the Automobile Union Company, and it was almost the right thing to send someone to supervise.
And Fang Chen also said that Chen Mingyong has another appointment, just a deputy general manager of finance in the company, and he has nothing to check the accounts, and he will not interfere with the operation of the company.
It can be said that the impact on him is really small and small, and it can even mean that Fang Chen already trusts him very much, if he has any more opinions, it will really be shameless.
He was very satisfied with his current life and did not want to die.
Five days later.
In the center of Moscow, in the office building of the Moscow Soviet Executive Committee, a small room on the sixth floor, Fang Chen took Chen Mingyong and the translator and sat quietly on a stool.
There were two or three blond men sitting on the side, but it was evident that they were not Russians, but more like Anglo-Saxons and Germans, that is, British and Americans, as well as Dutch, Germans, and so on.
The man sitting next to Fang Chen glanced at Fang Chen and said in English: "Dongwei people"
Fang Chen shook his head, "Huaxia people." ”
Everyone in the room looked at Fang Chen in surprise, they had seen a lot of Eastern Japanese and Southern Koreans in Moscow, but this was the first time they had seen the Chinese.
"I'm sorry, I really can't tell the difference between you Chinese and Dongwai people and South Koreans. The man said apologetically.
"I can't tell the difference between the French and the Germans. Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.
The man smiled helplessly.
"You are also applying to open a bank with us, and I am Ted Clement of Anheuser-Bush Company. Ted Clement pointed to the application form for opening a bank in Fang Chen's hand.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's affairs were a little interesting, he didn't expect that Anheuser-Bush would not be good at buying beer, and he actually had the idea of opening a bank in Russia.
Most people may not be familiar with Anheuser-Busch Company, but they must be familiar with its Budweiser beer, which basically accounts for more than 50 percent of the U.S. beer market and 9 percent of the world's beer share.
"This seems like nonsense, and I believe that the people sitting here have a purpose at this time. Fang Chen smiled and raised the application form in his hand.
Everyone laughed tacitly and raised the application form in their hands together.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Fang Chen smiled.
If there had been a camera at this time, the latecomers would have noticed that all of them were smiling like jackals with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.
is sharpening his minions, and can't wait to rush to Russia's softest and fattest belly to bite down on a piece of meat!
Since his visit to the United States in 1987 and the shock of the dazzling array of goods on the shelves of Wal-Mart, Gotu has embarked on a drastic de-Sovietization reform.
He felt that this dazzling array of goods was more powerful than the atomic bomb.
After that, Gotu invited Europeans and Americans to criticize the Soviet economy.
Open banking, privatization of enterprises, reduction of the number of nuclear weapons, this is what European and American doctors prescribed to the Soviets.
Originally, as a country with a planned economy as the main body, the banking industry in the Soviet Union was very underdeveloped, because everything was distributed, and the role of money was very small.
Now that the banking sector is opened again, it can be said that Moscow is full of banks of all kinds.
No way, the cost of opening a bank in Russia is too low, as long as there is an office space, a registered capital of more than 100,000 rubles can open a bank.
Russia's seven oligarchs have all started banks, and even four oligarchs started with banks, so it can be said that any Russian who has some ability will find a way to open a bank, because they also smell the depreciation of the ruble.
Naturally, this is not less important than the Europeans and Americans who fooled the Soviets into opening up their banking industry, and they did not see even the Anheuser-Bush Company, a beer buyer, who sent someone to open a bank.
Fang Chen didn't actually want to open a bank at first, but after a trip home, he came to his senses.
Why can the monk touch the bald head of the master, he can't touch it, he doesn't earn money, the sky thunders, and he is not alone.
In addition, the opening of a bank had a huge advantage for Fang Chen, as the Soviets stipulated that foreign banks could freely exchange currencies at the SAFE according to the exchange rate.
Now the black market ruble has fallen a lot against the dollar, and there is already a tendency to fall below 0.7 rubles: 1 dollar.
If you have a foreign bank in your name, it means that Fang Chen can exchange dollars at the official exchange rate of 0.55 rubles: 1 US dollar.
It is basically equivalent to increasing Fang Chen's profits by twenty or thirty percent, so Fang Chen learned from the pain, he opened this bank, and this is why he must transfer Chen Mingyong to Moscow.
"What is your one-year interest rate? Ted Clement asked.
"30%!" Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, everyone's complexion suddenly changed, their eyes widened, and they looked at Fang Chen with a frightened expression, just like a tiger that suddenly appeared in the middle of a group of small sheep.
"Friend, don't you think your interest rate is too high, I think 10% is already a good number. Ted stammered.
You must know that on the street, almost all banks have one-year interest rates between 8% and 13, and there is absolutely no such thing as Fang Chen's one-year interest rate of 30%.
"I think it's acceptable. Fang Chen said with a smile.
Ted was stunned for a moment, and quietly moved his ass farther away from Fang Chen.
He felt that Fang Chen either had money to burn, or that there was something wrong with his brain, and the others were also silent, they were afraid that if they continued to talk, they would be scared to death by Fang Chen.
The corners of Fang Chen's mouth twitched slightly, not caring at all about Ted's small movements.
In fact, the most daring economists at the moment would not have predicted that the ruble's exchange rate against the dollar would plummet from the current 0.55:1 to a terrifying figure of 170:1.
And that's just the beginning, there will be more terrifying exchange rates of 1000:1,000:1, 3000:1 and so on.
The continuous depreciation has completely emptied the pockets of every Russian people.
In this case, what is the difference between the 30% interest rate and the 10% interest rate, and the principal and interest that need to be paid at that time?
Russia will pay a terrible price for the extreme development of the previous decades of overpowering and despying light industry.
Fang Chen sighed softly, this is a national disaster, but ironically, this is their carnival.
But in this calamity, these people ate with big shoulders and round waists, and earned a lot of money.
