Grand Moscow Hotel, Presidential Suite.

The second daughter of the Hilton family, the former CEO of the Hilton Hotel, and now the general manager of the Grand Moscow Hotel, Mikas Hilton's eyes flashed, and she looked at her with some curiosity, this dear boss.

Although she was far away on the other side of the world, especially in the Soviet, the opponent of the United States in long-term propaganda, the evil empire, there is no doubt that this period was the most peaceful time she lived as an adult, completely away from the strife and hustle and bustle of the family.

And as the executive president who manages hundreds of Hilton hotels around the world, managing a hotel in the Moscow Hotel is really Zhang Fei's eating bean sprouts - a piece of cake, completely handy.

So although she is working every day, it is actually no different from a vacation, and yesterday Fang Chen praised her for being two years younger.

It is also ironic to say that she actually breathed the air of freedom in such an arrogant, centralized and authoritarian place as Russia.

However, Fang Chen's words could not be fully believed, if she believed Fang Chen's praise every time, the accumulation of two years and two years old, she would have to shrink back to ten years old.

I don't know how Fang Chen, at such a young age, can have such a sweet mouth, doesn't it mean that Oriental men, especially Chinese men, are more wooden and have no interest?

Could it be that only Fang Chen is an exception?

If so, then it would not be surprising, after all, Fang Chen himself is synonymous with "exception".

Suddenly hearing the sound of the door opening, Mikas subconsciously shook her head and quickly put away these messy thoughts in her head.

"Ninth Master, now Russia is really crazy, there are people everywhere talking about the Pounds Club, and there are even a lot of people who compare which Pounds will give more money. ”

I saw Wu Maocai push open the door and said excitedly.

Hearing the words "Pounds will", Fang Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, he originally thought that he was already bad enough, but he didn't expect Soros to have a bad taste than him.

Ponzi schemes are called Ponzi schemes because they were invented in the United States by an Italian named Ponzi, Charles Ponzi.

And Soros so blatantly called the Ponzi scheme a Ponzi Meeting, obviously bullying the Russians for not knowing English, let alone about the Ponzi scheme.

However, Fang Chen prefers to call it a liar's club, after all, the pronunciation of the two is about the same.

Tomorrow the referendum will begin the official propaganda, although there is a steady stream of information from Chubais, Luzhkov, Kadannikov, including Berezovsky, but it is always a little uneasy not to see with your own eyes the current situation in Russia and the real reaction of the Russians.

It's a pity that it's really hard for him to go out, in case Rudskoi's brain is pumped and a killer or something is arranged to wait for him, then he won't have a place to cry.

Although relying on the relationship between Yeltsin and Clinton at home, there should be few people in the world who dare to touch him, but Rudskoi is among these people.

Not to mention his superficial friendship with Clinton, let's just say that China may not make any special statements about his death, after all, you can't have a fight with Russia, right?

Anyway, he didn't think he had such a big face.

That's why he sent Wu Maocai to the street to find out the news.

After listening to Wu Maocai's words, Fang Chen suddenly shook his head a little speechlessly, Russia at this time can only be described in one word, that is, "the demons are dancing"!

Seriously, Soros raised the purchase price of the voucher to $40 a piece, which he was a little surprised, but still expected.

But who knows that Soros's behavior is like opening Pandora's box, or lighting a guiding light for those Foundation presidents who have nothing to do and are empty in their hearts because the Foundation has been eliminated and banned.

As the world's second largest country, Russia has no shortage of smart people, whether it is other big oligarchs of Jewish descent, such as the chairman of the Bridge Bank and the de facto control of the newspapers Today and the Seven Days, or the president of the Capital Sberbank, Russia's second richest man, Smolensky, or the presidents of these foundations.

Especially at this time, Russia was extremely prolific, with crooks, robbers, hooligans, criminal gangs, corrupt bureaucrats, resource tycoons, violent bosses, ambitious tycoons, and former KGB leaders.

In the name of "freedom", these people evade the law, deceive the state, deceive the people, escape the punishment of the law, their rights are above the state, forcing Chubais and Gaidar, and even Rudskoi must compromise with them, not to interfere in their "plans to get rich", and to threaten and even eliminate anyone who stands in their way.

So soon a group of people discovered the secrets of the Pounds Society, especially those former Foundation presidents, who naturally pulled up the team again and started the Pounds Society with great fanfare.

It can be said that in the past ten days, Russian pounds will simply spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and the prices are higher and higher.

Soros dared to pay forty dollars, the second person dared to pay forty-two dollars, and the third person dared to pay forty-four dollars...... , and so on.

After all, they also knew that the cost they needed to pay was simply insignificant, only a little more expensive than the previous empty glove white wolf.

Besides, now that the Foundation can't do it, what can they do if they don't do it?

Is there a more lucrative business in Russia than the resale of Russian assets?

Seriously, the profits from the resale of Russian assets are much greater than those of drugs, arms, and diamonds.

In just nine days, whether it was the information gathered to Fang Chen from all aspects, or what Wu Maocai saw with his own eyes just now, it clearly told him a fact, that is, these crazy fund managers had already pushed the price of the voucher to sixty dollars each.

And the number of people is far beyond his expectations, according to various surveys, the number of people who are now involved in the Pounds Society in Russia has exceeded five million.

It was a terrifying number, more than twice as much as he had anticipated.

As for the number of people who could be potentially affected, it could be as high as fifteen million, after all, these people all have families, and there must be a large number of people who are eager to wait and see.

In other words, one in ten people in Russia has actually been involved in a Ponzi scheme.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly felt a pain in his head.

You must know that the higher the price speculation, the more people participate, which means that the more price he needs to pay to take over in the future.

Even according to the current situation, he would already have to pay such a huge figure as 300 million US dollars.

Seriously, thankfully, the referendum will start tomorrow, or he'll have to find a way to bust the Ponzi scheme himself.

He really can't afford this rapidly increasing cost, and you must know that the number of people involved in Ponzi schemes has increased exponentially, that is, five million people now, and maybe ten million more people in ten days.

And who knows, these bastards will raise the purchase price of the voucher to a terrifying level.

When the time comes, not to mention that Chubais promised him to increase the share of Russian oil and gas resources that he can buy to 25%, or even 30%, even 50% he will not do.

After all, at that time, the money he needed to fill in was not a billion 800 million dollars that could be stopped, and he had to double or triple it if he didn't make trouble.

He has so much money, but the problem is that if it is all spent on taking over, then his other plans will be all disrupted, although it can't be said that the gains outweigh the losses, but it is definitely not his will.

"Damn Soros, damn Rudskoi, by the way, Chubais isn't a good thing!" Fang Chen scolded in his heart.

The reason why Fang Chen scolded Chubais was because he could pat his chest and say with certainty that the reason why this Ponzi scheme spread so quickly must have been fueled by Chubais.

Although it sounds like Chubais has no reason to do this, it is simply a sick dish to do this, but if you think about it, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.

After all, the more people involved in the Ponzi scheme, the more people will support vouchers, support privatization, and support Yeltsin.

It's just that the original Chubais, even though he knew that it would be beneficial for them, would not do it for the sake of moderation.

And now Chubais probably doesn't know what such a thing as a festival is, what it is for.

Now Chubais has become more and more unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

But as soon as his thoughts changed, Fang Chen was relieved, if it weren't for this, how could Chubais suddenly agree to him to buy more Russian oil and gas resources?

Do you really think that Chubais is a fool and does not know the value of Russian oil and gas resources?

"I didn't expect that the Ponzi scheme of nearly a hundred years ago would become more and more fierce on Russian soil. Mikas said with a look of embarrassment.

The corners of Fang Chen's mouth curled slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head and said with a somewhat helpless expression: "As long as there are people, as long as people are still greedy, then there is a soil for the survival of Ponzi schemes." ”

Since Ponzi was invented in the United States, Ponzi schemes have spread all over the world like Pandora's box has been opened.

One of the most famous, and the longest-lasting, is the Ponzi scheme that occurred in Albania, which claims to be located at the "strategic point of Asia and Europe".

At the time, Albania had built about 2 million bunkers across the country, and it was strange to wonder what point there was in building so many reinforced concrete bunkers for this small, impoverished European country with a population of only 3 million.

But with the collapse of the Ponzi scheme, which has been raging in Albania for five years, people have learned about the role of these two million bunkers.

Investors who have all but lost their life savings have grown from initial demonstrations to storming government office buildings, looting shopping malls and burning down banks, with many bloodsheds in between.

As the crisis deepened, the otherwise useless bunkers quickly came in handy, and demonstrators in some cities, after snatching large numbers of guns, relied on the fortified bunkers to prepare for a catastrophe and the collapse of the entire country.

At the time, the scammers promised investors a monthly interest rate of up to 20%-30%, which was very attractive to Albanians who earned an average of $65 a month.

Some even sell their land and houses to invest. As a result, over a five-year period, 70 per cent of households invested $1 billion, equivalent to 30 per cent of Albania's annual gross national product, into the bottomless pit.

But a Ponzi scheme is a scam after all, and the scam has reached a certain level, and even if it is unwilling to collapse, it cannot save its predestined fate.

Because the savings that can be absorbed are limited after all, once the fresh blood in the economy is exhausted, the end of this Ponzi scheme, this vampire, will come.

And the reason why Albania can survive for five years is probably due to the fact that these scammers are relatively less courageous, and the monthly interest rate is low enough.

However, the craziest scene of Ponzi schemes in history took place in Russia.

In the previous life, in 1994, an investment fund called "MMM", or simply "3M", was established.

"3M" claims that its goal is to build it into the largest investment fund in Russia. The company assures the public that if you invest $100 in MMM, you will recoup $500 in half a year, in addition, there is a year-end return of up to 400%!

As a result, in just six months, about 15 million people across Russia bought shares of "3M", and even thanks to the participation of a large number of shareholders, the share price of the "3M" investment fund soared from about $1 per share to $54.

In the end, if Gaidar had not intervened, in which he expressed doubts about his high rate of return, this so-called feast of wealth would probably have continued.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became weird.

In this way, in fact, in the previous life, the Ponzi scheme came to the Russian stage after the voucher scheme.

That is, the reason why the Ponzi scheme came to Russia ahead of schedule is precisely his reason.

But after thinking about it, Fang Chen was relieved.

It's true that the Ponzi scheme appeared in Russia ahead of schedule because of him, but you must know that before he came to Russia, these damn foundations didn't need a penny, and they were completely empty-handed.

Since it is possible to spend no penny, it makes no sense for these foundations to choose a Ponzi scheme that still costs money.

It is precisely because he blocked these foundations that they could no longer be such empty gloves white wolves, so these foundations would choose Ponzi schemes.

From that point of view, he is doing good.

After all, it is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf, and the Ponzi scheme is still very good, at least it will give you money for a month or two, so that you will not lose all your money.

And the first person to carry out a Ponzi scheme is Soros, a bastard, if he doesn't come to Russia to stir up peace, I'm afraid there will be no Ponzi scheme for a while.

And in the current soil of Russia, if a Ponzi scheme cannot be hatched, it will be called strange.
