Chapter 345: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
This is a crazy time, as long as you have money and connections, from small bullets to large missiles and satellites, only you can't think of anything you can't buy, even if it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to spend money you can always buy what you want.
Independent Ukraine seems to be afraid that Russia will snatch what is in its hands, so it simply pulls out everything that can be sold and sells it, and the money is in its own pocket.
Yang Dongxu didn't think about going to Ukraine in person, but because he needed to have a good talk with Ivan, he flew to Ukraine after returning to China and having a deep talk with his grandfather.
Ivan is no longer in Ukraine, but Natasha is, and the people who come to Ukraine to buy things are not only foreigners, but also many Soviets, and the world is always like this, there are always people who have endless wine and meat at home, and people are starving to death all the time around him.
"I really didn't expect that we would meet again one day. Seeing Natasha Yang Dongxu's mood again, there was obviously a difference in mood, there was a kind of impatience when we met last time, but this time it was with expectations, people's moods are always changing with their own interests.
"If you're willing to see me, you can do so at any time. With a professional smile on her face, Natasha leaned forward and hugged Yang Dongxu.
To be honest, being held by such a big beauty, Yang Dongxu was a little uncomfortable all over, this discomfort was not because he had any thoughts in his heart, but Natasha's figure was too tall, and he was currently standing at Natasha's side at a height of 1.8 meters and still felt a little pressure, and that pair of long legs was very similar to the feeling of legs except for the neck, which was said on the Internet in later generations.
"Is there really no way Ivan can come over?" Entering the hotel room, Yang Dongxu took off his coat, the weather in Ukraine in October is comparable to that of Yanjing, and he still wears a thick coat in the morning, and it becomes too hot to wear a short shirt at noon.
Yang Dongxu undoubtedly prefers to deal with Ivan rather than talking to Natasha, although the old fox is very cunning, he can always grasp the balance to achieve a win-win situation. But Natasha is different, there is a giant standing behind her, and talking to her about cooperation is inherently disadvantaged, especially now that he still has to ask for the other party.
"Mr. Ivan is busy in Russia right now, and he really can't come over for the time being, if there are some things that you have to talk to him, you can tell me first, and I will relay it for you. Natasha was not annoyed by Yang Dongxu's opening of his mouth to find Ivan, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.
"It's okay, it's the same with anyone. Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded to Du Suo.
Du Suo glanced at Natasha and led the people out, and Natasha also nodded to the assistant behind her, and only the two of them were left in the room.
Yang Dongxu got up and poured Natasha a glass of water first, then said in a deep voice: "The main reason for coming to you this time is to buy some things, of course, these things can also be bought by other people, but it will take a little more trouble to make it difficult for you." But what I want is that the purchase of these things can be settled in RMB. ”
In fact, Yang Dongxu looked for Ivan at the beginning to disassemble some money, but now the Soviet Union is in turmoil, the ruble is depreciating rapidly, at this time the dollar is a hard currency, he is short of dollars in his hands, Ivan is also in short supply, and it is better not to get dollars to ask for rubles, so after thinking about it, he thought of this method of settlement through RMB.
"That's actually the biggest challenge. Natasha looked at Yang Dongxu and said.
Compared with the US dollar, the RMB naturally has to stand aside, after all, if the RMB can eat here, then the people above will not ask him to borrow foreign exchange.
"This method does sound a bit difficult for a strong man, but I think it is not impossible for you, after all, it is also a good way to transfer money to China. ”
"Compared to China, I feel that Japan is more promising now, and even South Korea is better than China at present. Natasha spoke very directly, although the expression on her face still did not change in the slightest, but she was obviously a little unhappy.
After all, with Yang Dongxu's current status, he has not yet had a big face to let the people behind him abandon the current more favorable US dollar settlement and go to RMB settlement.
"It seems like that at the moment, but I'm more optimistic about my country. Of course, my favor cannot be imposed on you, so I will pay for a person's favor. Yang Dongxu was not surprised by Natasha's reaction, and continued to speak with an unchanged expression.
"Then this person must be very favorable, is this person the president of the United States?" Natasha said with a hint of ridicule.
"Not the president of the United States, but he is likely to be your future president. ”
"Yeltsin?" Natasha frowned, then straightened up from the couch and looked extremely serious.
Although the Soviet Union has not yet announced its disintegration, when Ukraine also became independent, the disintegration was already an irreversible trend, and now it is just one less procedure for external announcement.
And at this time, who can become the president of Russia, which inherits 70% of the political heritage of the Soviet Union, has always been the focus of many people's attention. The brightest in this spotlight is undoubtedly Yeltsin, the man who has been working against Gobalchev from the beginning. Seriously, Ukraine broke away from the Soviet Union so quickly, and this person played a key role in this.
Some people have also paid attention to Yeltsin before, after all, the guy who can fight with Gobalchev and can get along is obviously not simple, and it needs serious attention from all countries.
However, no one had thought of the collapse of the Soviet superpower before, so the angle and intensity of attention were different, and the relationship with Yeltsin was naturally far and near.
And when Ukraine became independent, everyone knew that the collapse of the Soviet Union had become a fact, and turned around and wanted to have relations with Yeltsin, Yeltsin at this time had already stood firm and marched forward, and there was no need for icing on the cake to share the fruits of his victory.
The people behind Natasha undoubtedly also wanted to get close to Yeltsin, but there was no way to get close. After all, there is nothing more advantageous at this time than to have a good relationship with the next president.
"Part of the things are settled in yuan, and I want a loan of 2 billion US dollars, which will be repaid in rubles for ten years. Yang Dongxu also sat up straight, his eyes meeting Natasha's.
This condition is undoubtedly a lion's mouth, as long as the brain is a little normal, you can understand that at this time to take the dollar loan, but then repay it in rubles, the difference in price is more than ten times.
But Yang Dongxu felt that the condition he offered was not big at all, because if the people behind Natasha could get through Yeltsin's relationship, then the amount of benefits they would benefit would be many times that of 2 billion US dollars, which is still tangible and visible benefits, and the invisible benefits may be even greater.
And Yeltsin's favor in his hands has been slowly accumulated since the beginning of eight years of trade, and such favor will be completely consumed once used, Yang Dongxu still wants to develop in Russia in the future, and he can only wait until which emperor who continues to accumulate favor takes the throne before he will occupy the initiative.
So before the emperor ascended the throne, he could be said to have no foundation on the Russian side, which means that this is a hammer deal, and after doing it, the bridge will return to the bridge, and in this case, he naturally needs a suitable price.
"This can't be. Natasha refused without even thinking about opening her mouth.
They already have to take a lot of risk in settling in yuan, because it is impossible to determine whether the yuan will depreciate like the ruble in the future, which is desperate.
This perception is now the general perception of the world, after all, the socialist superpower Soviet Union has fallen, as a socialist China, will it be better in the future?
Therefore, in Natasha's view, the RMB settlement is a direct loss, and she did not think that she could make a profit in this way. The RMB settlement is at a loss, and Yang Dongxu still needs a loan of 2 billion US dollars, which is undoubtedly a kick in the face.
"Sign a VAM agreement, if ten years later, the benefits you get in exchange for the yuan and the favors you sell are not worth it, then I will still repay the $2 billion in dollars.
If you benefit, then the repayment method is settled in rubles, and the exchange rate at the time of the depreciation of the ruble to the lowest point is settled, of course, the exchange rate at the time of the loan is in proportion to the highest ruble. ”
"You seem to have a lot of faith in your country. Natasha frowned and stared into Yang Dongxu's eyes, as if she wanted to see something in his eyes.
"At least my country is now very stable, and he has more hope of developing than the Soviet Union, which is already on the verge of falling apart. Even if it doesn't grow later, the money I made from investing in 10 years of $2 billion can make me a lot of money, and you know I'm very good at investing. Yang Dongxu winked at Natasha.
This remark made Natasha more puzzled in her heart, she was a little unsure whether Yang Dongxu saw the development of her country, whether she saw something as if she saw the collapse of the Soviet Union, or simply wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to invest 2 billion US dollars, after all, investment is really what he is good at, although she has lost and made money on her side in the previous cooperation between the two sides, but it is generally quite pleasant.
"I'll need to ask the upper authorities about this. After a moment's silence, Natasha spoke.
"Please. Yang Dongxu made a gesture of please.
Natasha glanced at Yang Dongxu and went to the inner room with the phone.
The call didn't last long, but it took only two minutes before and after Natasha walked out of the room: "The above agrees to this transaction, but the amount settled in RMB shall not exceed 1 billion US dollars, and this amount is the amount of the transaction that we can influence, and we will not guarantee the transaction that cannot be affected." A $2 billion loan is available to you at any time. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"No one can hack our money. Natasha also looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile.
At the same time, this sentence also expresses another meaning, that is, if the price paid for settlement in RMB cannot be repaid in the future, then the debt repaid by Yang Dongxu when the loan expires is definitely not as simple as 2 billion US dollars plus that pitiful interest.
Yang Dongxu obviously knew this matter in his heart, so the two sides did not say it, such a thing is still tacitly good, after all, now the cooperation should be happily celebrated, not those things that are disappointing.
"If I could, I would like to have your help in buying other things that you can't influence. Of course, I don't want you to guarantee anything, it's just a proper match, and I will pay a certain intermediary fee according to the amount of things purchased. ”
"We're happy to help you. Natasha smiled happily.
