434. Death

Just a few days after the end of the Soviet Union, the Russian government began a vigorous privatization campaign. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Full privatization is an important measure taken by the countries of Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States to emerge from the economic crisis and accelerate their transition to a market economy. In this regard, the countries of Eastern Europe started a little earlier, while the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States are just beginning.

Privatization in Eastern Europe began already after 1989, and what results were achieved?

Li He knows this very well, because this is his personal experience, most of the state-owned industries have been merged and acquired by foreign enterprises.

The only normal one is East Germany, because West Germany regards East Germany as private property, and it will be covered with death, and few people dare to easily pull teeth in the tiger's mouth.

In 1990, East and West Germany merged and reunified, this unbalanced merger may not be without crisis, and later Merkel, a female driver from East Germany, became the chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, which may have the meaning of balance. Ma Dan, it is called the Federal Republic of Germany, and you West Germans are always the chancellors, what does it mean?

Gaidar and Chubais, representatives of the Russian liberal faction, believed that "whoever distributes property to whom, even if it is to robbers, it is enough to take it from the state." If a robber becomes a valid owner of his own capital, he will no longer be a robber ...

Russia had already begun the idea of privatization before the collapse of the Soviet Union, but it had always existed in the form of joint ventures and joint-stock systems.

Just after New Year's Day, the Russian "elite" and the US and Western proxies in Russia were in no hurry to launch a real privatization policy.

Thousands of large and medium-sized Russian strategic enterprises in the fields of defense, oil, gas, transport, electricity, foreign trade, banking, fishing, and steel manufacturing have become the targets of privatization.

Within a month, a privatization policy was introduced.

After the Russians obtained privatized securities, they thought that they had obtained a sum of national wealth, but it was unthinkable that the consequences of "equalizing state assets" in the "shock therapy" led to a major economic disaster, and the Russian economy continued to deteriorate, with serious inflation and a crazy depreciation of the ruble.

Thankfully, this is another living textbook for China, and China's subsequent reform of state-owned enterprises has fully learned from Russia's experience.

Many ordinary Russians believe that the privatization voucher with a face value of 10,000 rubles is pure rubbish, and it is better to sell it for cash in time.

Certain forces have seized the opportunity to collude with the banks and use the money of the banks and foreign capital to buy the privatization vouchers issued throughout the country at low prices through the underground market. The privatization vouchers were soon concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs, and Russia's main economic lifeline was controlled by several oligarchs, such as Roman Abramovich, the owner of the Chelsea team that became known to him, became the richest man in this way.

Li He compared the previous enterprises in his hands with these large enterprises, which is simply the gap between shrimp and big sharks.

He is also content, he makes a lot of shrimp, in short, he can accumulate a lot, and the small shrimp enterprise is also cheap, and a factory with hundreds of people does not even need a thousand dollars.

What's more, he is not very interested in really large oil and gas enterprises, he is really interested in Soviet talents, especially the high-end talents in the research institute and some top technology, as well as the income he is prepared to spend on rubles.

Another point, he is ready to slap Soros on the pound, Soros shorts the pound, he has to go long the pound in reverse, just fight for money, who is afraid of whom. Besides, Western tourist capital has eaten so much in Eastern Europe and the CIS countries, and it is always necessary to spit it out a little.

He has asked Guo Dongyun to start making a layout in London and going long for the pound.

So after the Russian government issued privatized securities, he did not buy them like many people, it was not his, he did not force it.

But this does not prevent him from buying technology in these privatized enterprises, although the cost is a little higher, but many of the obstacles in front of him have been cleared by others.

What he is really anxious about now is the semiconductor technology of the Soviet Union, and the Lebedev Institute is like a hedgehog, so that he has no way to speak.

Liu Baoyong and others have recently gained the most by poaching more than a dozen people from the Tupolev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union, including the former navigator engineer Vokitistov, who can be called a national treasure.

He said to Li He proudly without any scruples, "Do you know that the Tu-154 was designed by this design bureau!"

Li He smiled and said, "Mikoyan Design Bureau, you are one step late, right?"

"The conditions given by the Yankees are good, and people have the opportunity to go to the United States, of course they don't care about us. Yuan Ming couldn't help but sigh beside him.

"What about the Lavochkin Design Bureau?" asked Li He.

The number of aircraft design bureaus in the USSR and the strength of their power are rare in the world!

Antonov Design Bureau, Borikarpov Design Bureau, Beryev Design Bureau, Petroryakov Design Bureau, Tupolev Design Bureau, Ilyushin Design Bureau, Kamov Design Bureau, Rapochkin Design Bureau, Rysusov Design Bureau, Miri Design Bureau, Mikoyan Design Bureau, Myasishev Design Bureau, Sukhoi Design Bureau and Yakovlev Design Bureau, each of which is well-known in the industry.

Liu Bao glanced at Li He, "You think it's picking up Chinese cabbage, the level of secrecy in this kind of unit is very high, don't even think about it." ”

Although the Soviet Union has collapsed, it is still difficult for people in the outside world to understand these huge military industrial systems that were classified as highly national defense secrets during the Soviet era.

Li He said with a smile, "I heard that the Far Eastern Military Region sells weapons very rampantly, but you didn't do anything?"

The former Soviet troops in these remote areas, including the KGB, have laid off a large number of personnel, and their fathers do not love their mothers, and they have no financial funds, so of course they have to live by selling weapons.

Liu Bao raised his head, "Confidential!"

Li and the stall came out of the house and knocked on the door of Ding Shiping's room.

Ding Shiping opened the door for a long time, and when he saw that it was Li He, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, play with guns. Ding Shiping lifted the quilt on the bed and found five or six pistols and bullets.

"This is Tokarev. Li He took it in his hand casually and recognized it immediately.

Ding Shiping was frightened and hurriedly dodged the muzzle, "Why don't you give it to me, this gun is uninsured and very dangerous." ”

"100 rounds without ammunition failure, Balabrum caliber, this is at least a pound and a half heavy. Li He weighed the weight, unloaded the magazine again, and looked at it, "The five-pointed star bullet from the Arsenal factory in Bulgaria." ”

Ding Shiping nodded, "I bought it from a veteran, I went outside in the woods to try it, the recoil is very strong, and ordinary people can't use it." ”

"It's okay, you get busy first. "If Li He is asked to talk about weapons knowledge, he can talk about it for three days and three nights in a row, such as a number of treasures, but let him play with weapons, he will be almost hot.

He originally wanted Ding Shiping to accompany him to go shopping, but seeing that Ding Shiping was so addicted to pistols, he had to go out by himself.

When he went out, he didn't shout at anyone, even if Temur and the others sat on the first floor with their backs and drank coffee.

He still likes to be free and easy alone, and being surrounded by these people every day makes him a little breathless.

He walked along the banks of the Moscow River, which was already frozen, and many pleasure boats stopped on the banks of the river, but there were many people skating on the river.

The Moscow River flows through the entire city of Moscow, from which the name of Moscow derives. Walking along the river, he saw the building of the Government of the Russian Federation, Sparrow Hill, the main building of Moscow University, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Kremlin, etc.

Winter is not fun, and despite the thick clothes, it still makes him cold.

Along the way, there were either women selling perfumes, jeans stalls, cigarettes and alcohol, many of which were placed directly on the mudflats where cars had to pass, but fortunately the mudflats were frozen.

Before he knew it, it was already dark, he felt a little hungry, and he was about to find a place to have dinner, but as far as the eye could see, there were Soviet-style tube building residential areas everywhere, and faint lights flashed under the windows from time to time.

As soon as he lit a cigarette and was about to identify the next direction, a few people came out of the alley and surrounded him at once.

They muttered to Li He, Li He said that he didn't understand a word, he looked left and right, there were four people, one surrounded one direction, and he couldn't move.

"Money!money!" was repeated by several people.

Li He assessed the situation, four people, two people opposite, one of them is more than 200 pounds, estimated to be more than 1.8 meters tall, he has no confidence to be able to knock it down, the other one is more than 1.9 meters, very thin, but looking at the other party's body, Li He estimated that this person had been a soldier, this kind of momentum, he could see it in Ding Shiping, and he didn't have the confidence to fall.

The two people behind him were a little smaller, and there was a wall on the right, and there was a wire on the very high wall, and he definitely couldn't jump over, so he could only run to the left.

After Li He made a decision, he no longer hesitated to push the person on the left away, and just wanted to punch, the big man in front of him had already put his foot up. He quickly dodged, and his first reaction was to spread his feet and run.

He ran a few dozen meters and turned an alley.

"Bang bang", the pursuers will shoot.

Li He was frightened to death, a bullet flew past his scalp, and he immediately ran faster, and in the narrow alley, he could only hear his messy footsteps, accompanied by rapid breathing.

"Boom, boom, boom", there was still the sound of gunfire behind him.

Finally, the exit of the alley was in sight, and he quickened his pace again, rushing forward with the last of his strength, but when he finally approached the mouth of the alley, he stopped in horror, and he touched his chest with his hand, which was hot.

He felt a sharp pain.

The moment he fell, he saw the green smoke from the pistols held by those men, those people crouched down and searched around him, he felt the coldness in his chest, the blood was already frozen, and he could smell the smell of his heart slowly dying.

It turned out that the second of death came, in addition to fear and pain, it was more of a nostalgia for this world, that moment, it seemed to be very long, so long that I could recall the bits and pieces of pictures that came along with her, everything was so beautiful, and losing her was heartbreaking.

If he had known that this would be the end, would he still choose to start......
