Chapter 65: The Vantaa Project

There is a very secret and not secret plan of financial aggression in the world.

Its name is Project Vantaa.

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall, and looked like Mickey Mouse.

His name was O'Vantaa.

In the 80s, Vantaa was directly commissioned by Reagan to engage in a secret financial war against the Soviet ruble.

Later, he founded the "Shinkyo Financial Group" in Wisconsin, USA, with an operating capital of only $17,000, but soon after the secret capital injection from the United States into overseas accounts, Vantaa's business began to grow and grow.

Beginning in October 1990, Vantaa completed a highly profitable transaction for $5 billion for 140 billion rubles at twice the price on the black market (28 rubles to $1).

In January and February 1991, Vantaa shorted up to 2,000 tonnes of gold on the London gold exchange. The Soviet economy, which was already weakened, finally hit the last nail in the coffin lid under the collapse of the gold price.

It was O. Vantaa's plan that made the Russian winter of 1991 even colder.

After the "meat grinder of wealth" of superinflation ran over the body of the body, which had already lost serious blood, the life savings of a large number of mainstream people in the former Soviet Union were wiped out overnight.

In the collapse of the Soviet economic system, more than a trillion dollars in assets were plundered.

Since then, countless stories of money and bloodshed have been spawned to bear witness to the evil of American imperialism.

Ovanta used the capital in his hands to sell rubles aggressively, so that the bear skin, bear bile, and bear paws on the polar bear were all chopped off.

See.

By instigating the collapse of the Soviet Union and shorting the ruble, Westerners looted the wealth accumulated by the Soviet Union for decades.

They put hundreds of millions of people in the former Soviet Union in their mouths and chewed greedily.

But in fact...... This is a very loose third-rate novel.

Because no matter any short selling, three conditions must be met, borrow in hand, sell in advance, and buy back.

After Robert John left, Shen Jiannan closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

The collapse of the USSR was an inevitable consequence, and with the collapse of the USSR, the ruble also depreciated into waste paper.

In the currency value of the new ruble, the new ruble depreciated tens of thousands of times against the old ruble.

After money lost its purchasing power, Lao Maozi, who was once middle-class, drank methanol, and even mixed shampoo with water as wine.

According to the actual value of the ruble in the future, shorting the ruble now is undoubtedly the best investment.

However, it was difficult.

The Soviet Union under the planned economy had strict foreign exchange controls, and it was precisely because of the extremely perverted foreign exchange controls that there was a black market for currency in the Soviet Union.

If you want to sell the USSR in this environment, it is not a little difficult to make money for a little money.

To short the ruble, three conditions need to be met.

Borrow rubles, sell rubles, and buy rubles again to repay the borrowed rubles.

The depreciation of the ruble is an inevitable consequence.

As long as you borrow rubles from banks in the Soviet Union and sell them, you can buy them back and return them to these banks in the future when the ruble depreciates sharply, and you can perfectly transfer the wealth of the polar bears

The theory is simple.

It's just that theory is never equal to practice.

Due to the imperfect currency properties, the trading volume of the ruble in the global foreign exchange futures market is very small.

The ruble for dollar futures launched by Ukraine has a daily turnover of only a few million dollars, and even the financial markets in the New York and London markets have a turnover of only tens of millions of dollars.

With this amount of turnover, you can't play with a little larger funds.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the regulation of the capital market was very perverted, and everyone's bank account had various restrictions.

Whether you want to withdraw money from the bank or want to exchange dollars for consumption abroad, there is a certain amount of indicator.

This is part of a planned economy.

It was also super troublesome for the Soviet Union to borrow large sums of rubles from banks in such an environment.

There is only one way to borrow a large amount of rubles from Russia.

Wait.

Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy after its collapse, implemented a shock plan to restructure its economy.

The so-called shock plan is to fully open up the Russian financial market and use the invisible hand behind the market to repair the troubled Russian economy.

And here the ruble can be regarded as a truly free currency and free circulation.

The freedom of the free market is embodied in non-intervention in the market.

So in the execution of the shock plan, the ruble depreciated like a waterfall.

The reason is simple, this is a shock plan developed by Russia, which liberalized the fixed exchange rate of the currency and changed it to free pricing in the market.

As a result, the shock and fake death became real death.

The ruble collapsed in full.

In such a market, as long as you borrow money to sell in the early stage of the opening of the ruble, will you be able to make money?

The answer is no.

The reason why the ruble depreciated wildly later was because no one bought it, and not buying it meant that it could not be sold.

The original attribute of the ruble was an accounting voucher, and he meant in attribute that it was worthless in itself.

So even if you can borrow rubles after the collapse of the USSR, there will be only one result.

The bottoms are all out of the way.

Soros, a number of long-term capital management companies in the United States and international capital predators, is the best example.

These people borrowed large sums of rubles from Russia in the form of capital injections at the height of the ruble, and after the establishment of short positions in their hands, the ruble collapsed and plummeted.

Short positions, the plunge of short selling targets, theoretically speaking, should naturally make money.

But the actual result, whether it is Soros or those long-term capital management companies, one by one they are losing like a dog, the quantum fund has lost as much as two billion US dollars, and many long-term capital management companies have lost so much that they need to be bailed out by the US government.

This is a very ironic, absurd, and illogical result.

And the reason for such an unbelievable result is because of a common-sense logic.

Under normal circumstances, when a country's currency is about to collapse, any country will go to great lengths to save the monetary system in order to avoid a total collapse of the country's economic system.

Otherwise, the country's credibility will be zero internationally.

No country can afford to do so.

Herein lies the problem.

Polar bears are called polar bears because they are real bears, and bears never eat dead things.

The best way not to be killed is to commit suicide.

When the Central Bank of Russia chose to commit suicide, there was a huge hole in the basic logic of short selling.

The ruble is depreciating sharply, but it is also equivalent to the ruble borrowed in advance and cannot be sold in your hand, and as a result, you can only watch the borrowed ruble rot in your hands like waste paper.

It's a very scoundrel move, but it's also a very effective move.

Then you can't sell polar bears for a small amount of money?

Of course not.

There is a country that once wrote a textbook.

Third brother.

Before the collapse of the USSR, before the Russian shock program. The government of the third brother borrowed 10 billion rubles from the Bank of Moscow.

Ten years later, India also gave Russia 10 billion rubles.

When India borrowed rubles, 0.9 rubles were exchanged for 1 dollar, and when the money was repaid, 1 dollar was exchanged for 3,800 rubles.

It's just that individuals and companies naturally can't guarantee their credibility like a country, and even if they borrow money from polar bears, it is difficult to exchange large rubles for dollars.

Unless......

Yau Ma Tei fruit bar, 2nd floor of Yun Kee Wholesale Market.

The modest space was converted into a makeshift conference center.

A dark red table more than three meters long was placed in the room, and more than a dozen men with big shoulders and thick waists gathered around the table.

The top seat is Peng San in a suit and tie.

"Brothers, I think everyone knows about Lian Kun, in five years, Lian Kun himself embezzled 30 million money, and he took more than 200 million yuan to pay filial piety to Bai Pizi. ”

No one answered.

The people who can come here are the core members of Yunji.

Of course, they know how much money Lian Kun has made over the years, and they also know how much money Lian Kun has secretly sent to the British for the development of the community.

Not convinced, naturally there is.

It's just that no one dares to say anything.

In the past week, all the members of Yunji who expressed dissatisfaction had accidents, and even the Qingshan Club sent people to put pressure, and a hall of the Qingshan Club was swept overnight.

It was a horrible night that makes people feel scary when they think about it.

Thunder strikes.

It's not a fight between societies at all, but like a battlefield in the Shura field for one night.

"I promised all my brothers that half of the profits that I had given to the British every year would be paid to all my brothers. Do you have any disagreements?"

"Nope!"

"I agree with the third brother's decision. Lian Kun used to take the club's funds to those ghosts, and I had long seen him as unpleasant. ”

"I thank my third brother on behalf of my brothers. ”

“......”

Some people sincerely agree, and some people are forced to deal with it.

Under the terrorist forces displayed behind Peng San, no one refutated.

"There are some things I will say in advance today, whether you believe it or not, I will make a detailed financial announcement of the profits of the club in the future, and I promise that everyone's share will not be less. But there are some things I hope you don't touch again......"

"If the community wants to develop, it must take the right path. 97 is about to come, if anyone dares to find me something at this juncture, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

“......”
