Just after breakfast the next day, a special car came to send Jing Jian to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and another Soviet man he had met was already waiting.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Pantsev. ”

"I am honored too, Mr. Bramble. ”

The atmosphere was quite relaxed, without the red tape of the usual negotiations. When the two of them embraced, Nona on the side introduced: "Mr. Pantsev is the director of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau of our Ministry of Foreign Trade. He will chair the meeting with you today. ”

Since neither side wanted to be too formal and wanted to borrow from each other's personal friendship, they did not enter the formal negotiation room, but opened a small meeting room and sat side by side on the sofa.

The waiter brought the coffee, and Jing Jian greeted with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I only learned about your position today, sir." I was almost taken aback just now, and if I knew it was so formal, I would have brought my lawyer with me this time. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the reception room. Pantsev smiled and waved his hand: "Bramble, compared to those cumbersome clauses in the contract, I still believe in the friendship between friends. ”

Polite words, while pleasant, are basically equivalent to nonsense. So after a few pleasantries, Pantsev began to probe: "Bramble, we already have a previous cooperation, and I heard that the project of the car factory is still very successful. Are you interested in continuing to cooperate? In the same way? Our Soviet Union has leading technology and equipment not only in the field of automobiles, but also in the fields of iron and steel, chemical industry, metallurgy, and machine building?"

As soon as Jing Jian heard this, he was taken aback, and the more he listened to it, the more he seemed to regard himself as the footfoot of China's minister of heavy industry? This can cover most of the pillar industries of the national economy.

But if you agree now, you must have a bad brain, the hypermarkets of the former Soviet Union are about to open, unless you give yourself another large ruble loan: "Pantsev, there are things that need to be honest between friends." As you should already know, some time ago I had a takeover battle on Wall Street, and although I barely won, the loss of funds was no small either. But friends should help each other. So I'm here to give you a thorough explanation, and I've brought $200 million with all I have. And the vast majority of this money is loans from friendly banks. ”

The Soviets who accompanied the talks glanced at each other, and some of them had a hint of joy in their eyes. However, Pantsev remained quiet, which is indeed a huge amount of money for private individuals, but far from enough for the state. So he smiled slightly: "How can I still hear that your Fusoya has discovered a new big oil field?"

Jing Jian smiled wryly, half-truths and half-truths: "I personally can't eat that piece of fat, our Chinese influence in Africa is still too small." You should know that this was jointly developed by China, the United States and Japan. I'm only a small part of it. ”

On the surface, Jing Jian's words do not seem to be false. After finding the oil, Jing Jian was not busy exploring the sea area for Cao Haiyan's twins, but first took care of Yasu Hirata. I didn't expect him to be really full of shit luck in the house, and now the drilling ship of the Hirata Foundation is driving at full speed towards the waters of Fusoya.

There is also a technical team hired from Lee's Industries. Some things are very helpless, and the domestic marine mining technology is still relatively backward. If you add the newly formed, Fusoya Bank Group headed by the Hirata Consortium, so in the eyes of outsiders, Jing Jian really does not seem to be in a position to call the shots.

Of course, this is also an ordinary outsider, Pantsev is backed by a superpower disguised as an agent, as long as he investigates carefully, he still knows everything. Therefore, Pantsev was not deceived by Jing Jian: "If you China can't do it, we in the Soviet Union can come forward for you in Fusoya." We have only one request - to use this oil field as collateral in exchange for the funds of our cooperation. ”

Pantsev is not worried about oil field production. If Jing Jian was just luck, then Yasushi Hirata's hole-in-one was no accident. Now the most optimistic estimate in the world is that there should be a super large oil field in the waters of Fusoya. If the estimate is good, then there is no problem with staking a couple of billion dollars.

Jing Jian didn't care much about the oil field mortgage. Because of the war in Fusoya, the valuation of this oil field is low, so the current Jing Jian did not mortgage the oil field to the bank. Since the Soviet Union is willing to take this risk, of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is also one of the top five, and of course it cannot be sought, just to revitalize this asset.

However, he couldn't agree too much, so Jing Jian deliberately hesitated for a while, and then "poofed" and smiled: "Pantsev, my friend, this asset is the silver at the bottom of my box, if I mortgage it to the bank, as long as I run into trouble, my risk will be amazing." ”

"No, no, my friend. "The risk will be small, because you are our friend of the Soviet Union." No one in the world dares to touch you. ”

"Well, you convinced me. So how much can I pledge? Is it the same as before? Denominated in dollars or some other Western hard currency? Give me a long-term ruble loan?"

"How about a Swiss franc this time?"

"That's fine. ”

"The 2 billion?"

"No! that's too much. ”

"Hehe, not much at all. I'll do the math for you......"

After some bargaining, Jing Jian had a hemorrhagic expression on his face. In the end, the negotiated loan amount was still 2 billion Swiss francs (almost 2 billion US dollars), which was converted into a ruble loan at the current exchange rate, but including the funds brought by Jing Jian this time, it was a "small" concession made by Pantsev in the end.

However, in order to prevent the risk of depreciation of the ruble, a fluctuation of plus or minus 100% was stipulated, that is, whether it was depreciated by 100% or increased by 100%, it was calculated according to the Moscow foreign exchange rate at that time. If it is more than the part, it will be at the respective risk.

It should be noted that this floating clause was proposed by Pantsev on his own initiative. Due to the large depreciation of the ruble of the Soviet government introduced earlier, even Pantsev did not have confidence in the exchange rate of the ruble, so he took the initiative to add it.

However, in the eyes of Pantsev, the value has already depreciated so much, and it should never be depreciated by 100 percent, right? Moreover, this time the Moscow foreign exchange rate is used, which is really not good, and when the time comes, it will be nothing more than an executive order, and there will be no accidents no matter how you say it.

However, Jing Jian's snickering was almost unbearable. Pantsev: They thought they had taken advantage. But who would have thought that it would not be long before the Soviet Union would cease to exist and the Russian ruble would plummet by a thousand times?
