Chapter Thirty-Four: The Growing Demon Student
December 25th.
The Soviet hammer and sickle red flag was quietly lowered from the Kremlin, and the white, blue and red flags of Russia were slowly raised.
It's a heart-pounding moment.
Gorbachev's speech was broadcast on television to various countries that had joined the Soviet Union, and some people looked at him helplessly on the television and kept kissing the TV screen.
Countless people took to the streets, standing in front of the Kremlin to take pictures of this historic moment, with smiles on their faces, cameras and their most emotional moments.
The wind was fierce, and it was already late winter in Moscow at the end of December.
But for young people, the warm sun drives away the cold wind, the surging blood infects their souls, and under the sun, people feel warm all over the body, like returning to summer, and there is no more cold.
Their new leadership promised that Congress would pass a securities privatization package, valuing the state-owned assets accumulated over the previous 74 years, selling most of the company's shares to employees and managers, and a small portion to outside investors. According to the population of 149 million, 10,000 roubles per person, the certificate is transferred to each citizen free of charge, and each person only pays 25 roubles symbolically, and he can receive a privatization coupon with a face value of 10,000 roubles.
This is equivalent to distributing all state property to the people of the whole country at a price of about 15 trillion rubles, and such payments are basically free of charge, so that the people get real "benefits".
What is the concept of ten thousand rubles?
That's about two thousand five hundred dollars.
For four and a half rubles, you can buy a bottle of high-purity kefir, a motorcycle for 800 rubles, and a low-spec Lada sedan for 8,000 rubles.
10,000 rubles, which is equivalent to the state distributing a car to everyone, and bread and beef for a year. For five rubles you can buy a large piece of brown bread, sprinkle it with salt, honey, cream, and you can eat it for two days. The same goes for wine, clumsy, high, fifty rubles a pound, enough to drink for two days.
In addition, they can still work in the company and still get paid on time every month.
This ten thousand rubles is just pure welfare.
In addition, their new leaders have pledged to move away from the planned economy and to fully liberalize supplies so that everyone can buy enough daily necessities.
What could be happier than that?
No.
Even heaven is nothing more than that.
Under the conditions of the planned economy and the shortage economy of the Soviet Union, these benefits were enjoyed by the privileged classes, who could enjoy delicious bread and milk to their heart's content, and who could live in a large house in a luxury car. But ordinary people, there is no end to the queue for shopping and various distribution tickets.
Now they can feel that everyone is equal.
"I love freedom, I love democracy!"
"Hooray. ”
"Long live the president. ”
"Long live freedom. ”
"Long live democracy. ”
“......”
Hundreds of thousands of men, women, young and old, stood in front of the Krem Palace, cheering at the new leader, with the happiest smiles on their faces and their eyes full of respect, jumping and jumping with their arms outstretched, hoping to be seen by the leader.
Under the sun, the cold wind is still cold.
But the heat in my heart is enough to wash away the cold wind that makes people tremble.

The sound of the camera shutter flickering sounds.
A girl in her twenties, dressed in a denim dress and short sleeves, stood on the street, leaving the most beautiful figure, behind her, the white police car, which looked bright and full of vitality.

On Leningrad Square, red flags can be seen everywhere, expressing people's joy, and an old couple holding a photo of the former president of the Soviet Union is taking a group photo, preserving the greatest historical moment.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the White House Square, and when they saw the Soviet flag lowered and replaced by Russian state-owned enterprises, they raised their hands and cheered, and they were very happy, like a newborn child.
Click-
Men in suits and leather shoes, young men in denim, women in luxurious coats sat on tanks, cheered loudly with soldiers in military uniforms, and the streets around were filled with the sounds of festivities.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, um-......"
United States.
Countless Soviet emigrant courts kept kissing Gorbachev on the TV, because the collapse of the Soviet Union meant the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and it meant that they could return to their homeland after a long absence.
The land of China.
As news came back from Eastern Europe, well-informed people knew about the upheaval in the Soviet Union.
Countless people are discussing it in private.
There's trepidation, there's excitement, there's excitement, there's worry.
The Soviet Union is the most powerful country in the East, represents the most powerful country in Marxism-Leninism, represents the birthplace of everything, and represents a leading banner.
But now it's disintegrated.
The impact it caused makes people shudder to think about it.
Those who are panicked are worried about whether this will impact the land of China, which is rarely peaceful, and the fall of such a behemoth, God knows what kind of impact the aftermath will have on the country.
Excited, analyzing what kind of opportunities the collapse of the Soviet Union will bring to China.
Beginning in 1965, China was unwilling to be exploited and sheared by the Soviet-led demonetized Warsaw Pact organization, and endured countless oppressive constraints.
The excited, with their vertical and horizontal strategic diplomacy, are analyzing the future of China.
Now that the Soviet Union has fallen, China is bound to be favored by the United States and Russia, and this will be an excellent opportunity for development.
Those who are worried can't help but worry about whether the fall of such a behemoth will allow the peaceful flames of war to spread around the world again.
Shencheng, Huahai University.
Compared to most people's complex discussions, a classroom in the Department of Finance and Economics is full of excitement and excitement.
A year ago, someone said it.
The USSR will collapse.
It's simply not possible.
However, the most unlikely prediction has come true.
Buddha?
"Do you remember, Mr. Shen said that the Soviet Union will definitely disintegrate, and if the Soviet Union collapses, it will be a real opportunity for our country to rise. ”
Mr. Shen also said that if the Soviet Union collapsed, the Soviet currency would definitely collapse due to its monetized nature. ”
“......”
"Now that the USSR has really collapsed, do you think the ruble will really collapse?"
"What Teacher Shen said, how could it be wrong. It will definitely collapse, the ruble itself is just a voucher of accounting, its purchasing power is built on a planned economy, and now that the countries are divided, it loses its monetary attributes. ”
“......”
At the same time.
A young man about 24 years old knocked on the door of the top leader's office.
A moment later, there was a response from inside the office, and the young man pushed open the door and walked into the office.
"Director Wang. ”
Inside, a middle-aged man in his fifties sits in his office, dressed in a Mao suit, with black-rimmed glasses buttoned on the bridge of his nose, holding a document in his hand, analyzing the impact of the current situation on the domestic exchange rate.
As the young man greeted, the middle-aged man put down the information in his hand and raised his head, and glanced at the person who came with excitement on his face, a little dissatisfied.
"Huaiqing. Young people don't want to be frizzy, you put everything on your face like this, how to bear adults in the future. Come and sit down, just talk about something. ”
Huaiqing.
Zhang Huaiqing.
was taught a lesson by the leader, and his excitement eased a little, but in his heart, he was still excited.
"Director. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, its original currency lost its ability to keep accounts, and in light of the current situation, the ruble is likely to depreciate sharply. ”
Now that the news of the collapse of the Soviet Union has seriously shocked the world, as one of the leaders of the foreign exchange bureau, how could Wang Ping not know what this means.
Zhang Huaiqing's words made him interested.
"If you have anything to say directly, here, there is no need to beat around the bush. ”
Seeing through the intentions of the leader, Zhang Huaiqing laughed dryly.
"Director. You see, if we can sell some rubles, if the rubles collapse, we can make a lot of money. ”
“......”
“......”
"You're sure. Does this work?"
"Director. My teacher said in the past that in today's modern economic market, under the deterrence of the ultimate weapon, financial means have become a means of confrontation in the new era. He analyzed a year ago that the Soviet Union would definitely disintegrate because of financial shortcomings and fluctuating people's hearts, and once it collapsed, the ruble would be fundamentally fatally flawed, and this was a good opportunity. ”
"We can make a lot of money by selling a little ruble......
“......”
After listening to Zhang Huaiqing's analysis, a trace of weirdness flashed on Wang Ping's face.
For Big Brother's family, he has always had a strong impression of Big Brother, and suddenly heard that Big Brother was going to be sold, how he thought about it and felt awkward.
Gradually, thinking of the beautiful place, Wang Ping's face was a little distorted.
Damn it.
This idea seems to be ...... It's a bit too sassy.
But why does it feel so good?
Huaxia Mining Administration.
Zhang Jun followed behind a middle-aged man and stepped into the general manager's office.
In the office that was not luxurious, Wang Jianguo looked at the two people with excited faces, and had some doubts in his heart.
As the second batch of students who graduated early from Huahai University majoring in finance and economics, Zhang Jun is undoubtedly outstanding in ability, cautious and careful.
The bureau also happens to add a new risk control department, and he is a college student, and he is from a professional class, Zhang Jun has the responsibility to become the head of the risk control department, although there are managers above, but Zhang Jun is really in charge of risk control.
Now, the two of them are coming together, and it is obvious that there is something wrong with the risk control department.
"Lao Wang. What's the matter with you two?"
The vice president who called Lao Wang smiled and gestured to Zhang Jun.
"Xiao Zhang. Say it yourself. Finance is really incomprehensible. ”
"Mr. Wang. That is true. A year ago, my teacher analyzed that in the field of modern economy, the weight of finance will become heavier and heavier, and the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States will have a shortcoming in finance, and the Soviet Union will definitely disintegrate if the problems of people's hearts and physique are excluded. Before, I was still skeptical. ”
The collapse of the USSR was analyzed a year ago.
Wang Jianguo blinked, a little unable to believe what Zhang Jun said.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"What do you have to do with me? ”
Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his academic qualifications and identity are highly regarded in the bureau, after all, his qualifications are shallow, and there are some things that are likely not to be taken seriously in the bureau if they don't add a little color.
Well, now that there is the teacher's earth-shattering prediction a year ago, as long as the bureau verifies it, it will definitely not be ignored.
"My teacher has analyzed it. If the Soviet Union had collapsed, its monetary system would have collapsed completely. The ruble, it will definitely collapse. Every year, we import a large amount of aluminum, nickel and oil resources from the Soviet Union. It is all denominated in rubles, and if we throw away the existing ruble reserves to buy imported resources, if the ruble plummets, it can leave us with a lot of money. ”
“......”
“......”
"What's your teacher's name?"
"Shen Jiannan. ”
"Shen?"
“......”
