Russia's major cities are scrambling to sell state assets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When enterprises fail, workers do not receive their wages or are in arrears for several months, often in kind rather than money, such as towels, soap, cotton wool.

Russia does not have the luck of East Germany, because West Germany has no pity to drop hundreds of billions of dollars on East Germany, no matter how bad it is, there are also brothers to cover.

Hordes of well-suited American advisers are running around talking approvingly about Russia's privatization program and its young reformist vanguards.

With so many foreigners guiding Russia's reform process, it feels like something is wrong, and from every angle, it makes people feel as if the United States is selling Russia off.

A once-proud power, reduced to the point of begging, received foreign food aid, and EU stockpiles of sugar and margarine, and even leftover rations from the US military in the Gulf War, all went to Russia.

It has been half a year since Russia liberalized prices, and prices continue to soar, with prices for consumer goods rising 13 times, natural gas 15 times, oil 25 times, and electricity bills all up 50%.

Ordinary people could not survive, so they had to set up stalls and sell their personal belongings, and Moscow became a huge flea market. The train station was full of beggars and homeless people.

The current gap between the rich and the poor in Russia is unimaginable, and in the country, these rich people own luxury cars, go in and out of high-end hotels, and spend a lot of money.

They built mansions with pools and wine cellars, enclosed in walls more than twenty meters high.

Li He was eating breakfast, and before he could react, he was already pressed to the ground by Ding Shiping, and then there was a banging gunfire and the sound of broken window glass.

There was chaos in the hotel, Ding Shiping and Lan Shifang pressed on Li He, and Matic, Ivanov and others and the security guards in the hotel immediately began to fight back.

Until the end of the battle, the shooter fled, without waiting for the police.

"Get up, get up, I'm not panting!" Li He finally pushed Ding Shiping away, "You're going to lose weight." ”

He couldn't even eat breakfast, Li He could only sigh.

A few days ago, at the door of the hotel, he also saw with his own eyes that an American was beaten into a sieve by a Russian with AK47.

This is the result of an American who owns a shopping mall and a business dispute with his Russian partner.

And shootings and robberies in broad daylight happen every day.

Sometimes blatant fights in public places.

There are Russians who die, and of course there are foreigners, whether it is a street vendor or the owner of a five-star hotel, who needs to pay protection money to the underworld.

An era full of lawlessness began.

"Brother Li, don't go, let's go. Pan Song said worriedly.

"Take all your guns with you. "Li He doesn't want to look for death again, but it's not a matter of cowering in the hotel every day, so it's better to return to China than this.

What's more, Ivanov and these people have spent money to buy police identities as cover, and they are carrying AK47s and they are not vegetarians.

What made Li He even more confident was that he was riding in a Prombron car, alloy steel plate, weighing 4 tons, the only military car in the world that could compete with Lockheed Martin's car manufacturers, and the bazooka and submachine gun could be greeted without fear.

As for Aston Martin, Bugatti Veyron, and Ferrari, Li Lao Er did not fluctuate in his heart and expressed disdain.

The predecessor of the Prombron car was Russo-Balt, which was founded in 1909 and was mainly used by high-ranking military officers, and later belonged to the Latvian company Dartz.

When Li He learned about this car company, he immediately added this company to his acquisition list, and now in addition to the Betlerev Institute, there is another Dartz company as a target, and he has sent Temur to Latvia in person.

No matter how much it costs, be sure to get it!

Even ready to consider localizing the operation and producing real customized luxury cars, men always have a bit of a car dream.

Going out in such a car, Li Heke was not afraid of anything, and his courage suddenly increased by several orders of magnitude.

This time I went to an auction, and the Gorky City State-owned Assets Management Commission put 519 state-owned enterprises up for auction.

Although this kind of thing doesn't need him to come out in person, it is mainly to see the freshness and breathe fresh air.

The city of Gorky, located in the Volga River Valley, is the hometown of Gorky, the founder of realist literature, and the military industry developed rapidly during World War II, becoming one of the heavy arsenals of the Soviet Union.

The machinery industry is dominant, accounting for more than 70% of the industrial output value, and the products include automobiles, ships, aircraft, military products and hangars.

It was called "Nizhny Novgorod" before 1932, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was renamed "Nizhny Novgorod", which is more than four hours away from Moscow.

In addition to the Makarevsky market, the most famous here is the Gorky Automobile Factory, which the Chinese call the "Gas" factory, and the cars produced are large, solid and durable, which were once official cars of the Soviet Union and even many socialist countries, and are also the prototype of China's first generation of Hongqi cars, running all over China.

Even if the owner was reluctant to scrap it later, many film companies bought it to make props, so most of the two-door and canvas canopy cars that appeared in domestic movies were gas.

"Let's go around again. After arriving at the place, it was still early before the auction, and Li He wanted to visit the Makarevsky Market.

Li He drove by himself and found the direction of the map by himself, he liked the strong performance of military cars and enjoyed the driving pleasure.

When a large motorcade of more than 20 people entered the Makarevsky market, it did not cause much reaction, because there were many people and cars at the same time, and it was the largest market for second-hand cars in Russia.

But when Ivanov took the lead in rampage through the market crowd, it finally attracted the dissatisfaction of many people.

After all, the fighting nation is not screaming in vain, many people are about to open their mouths to scold, and even want to do it, but after seeing the submachine gun on the shoulder and the pistol on the waist of this group, they all shut up and obediently got out of the way.

Li He ignored the abuse around him for the sake of his life, and he was thinking about whether to buy some more trucks to go back, because as more and more heavy equipment to be brought back to China, the trucks were becoming more and more insufficient.

As for manpower, the least bad thing in China is people.

Li He said to Jiang Jian, "Buy another 300 cars, old and new." ”

It is also good to buy it back to be a logistics transport vehicle in the future, the logistics park planned by Qingpu is still empty, and thousands of trucks will be put in the future, and it is domineering to think about.

Jiang had a dispute with the owner of the car dealership over the exchange rate, because the owner of the car dealership demanded the official exchange rate.

In the official exchange rate system of Russia, there are four main types of exchange rates: the official exchange rate, the commercial exchange rate, the special exchange rate, and the auction exchange rate.

If you add in the black market exchange rates, which are not officially recognized, there are five.

For Li He, the most cost-effective thing is the official exchange rate, the official exchange rate is 1 US dollar equivalent to 11 rubles, and the black market exchange rate can be exchanged for more than 200 rubles, the difference is not ordinarily large, and even fools can't be happy.

Li He said to Jiang Jian, "You ask him if his head was squeezed by the door panel, and he actually made such a request." ”

Pan Song looked at the boss's expression and said to Li He with a smile, "This is a kickback, and this is usually the case." ”

Sure enough, after Jiang Health Care gave away 10,000 US dollars, the owner of the car dealership said that for the sake of friendship, each truck only needs 150 US dollars! Although it is a second-hand car, it is also cheap, and there is no place to find it, and there is no second home in the world!

Li He was really speechless, he couldn't imagine that he could play like this, and immediately said to Jiang Jian, "Buy another 3,000 cars." ”

"They said there weren't so many cars. ”

Li He said indifferently, "Dump trucks are fine, as long as they can carry loads, but they must be delivered before the end of the year." ”

“ok，ok。 The owner of the car dealership agreed loudly in English, and for him this was a good thing for him to generate personal income and foreign exchange for the country.

Li He was happy to get such a big bargain.

The group went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Gorky City in high spirits.

The auction was conducted by the Gorky City Bank, and the main auction was privatized securities, mainly local power companies, shops, and machine factories.

Li He was not interested in these originally, but there was the Gorky Power Plant, which he had admired for a long time, and after he participated in the work, the cryogenic rocket engine he came into contact with for the first time came from this factory, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

It is a pity that in the late 80s, the factory lost orders from the military, its efficiency declined, and it switched to the production of engines for civilian vehicles, but unfortunately it is still half-dead, and now it has fallen into bankruptcy.

And many of the mechanics textbooks he has read are from experts and professors in this factory.

What makes him the most painful is also the Soviet-style textbook, and I have to sigh that the Russian mathematics and mechanics textbooks are really not difficult to die and never give up!

The hall was mostly filled with Westerners and Japanese people.

Many people pointed at Li He, probably recognizing him, and on many occasions, Li He was their biggest competitor. And Li He's biggest impression to them is that they are not bad for money, at the just-concluded St. Petersburg auction, Li He won the Baltic Shipping Company for 130 million US dollars, setting a new auction record in Russia, and making everyone smack!

This made them have a re-evaluation of Li He's strength, but no one still figured out where such a local tyrant came from, and everyone was caught off guard.

For Li He, he mainly killed chickens to show monkeys, and his winning the first place at the auction was to clearly tell these people, don't fight with me, you can't compete with me.

If you have to fight, at an auction, Li He must have raised his cards, raised the price, and finally let the other party be the receiver, such as Japanese benzene Toyota and German Siemens.

If the other party doesn't follow, he will take over directly.

The Baltic shipping was the result of his being a pick-up man, but in fact, he had no intention of doing shipping at all. He looked at the shipping company's financial reports, it was terrible, and the ships were old, the only merit was that it had the largest number of icebreakers in the world, 32 in total, capable of navigating the drift ice in winter, and currently had large contracts with European and American oil companies.

Li He was ready to hand over the shipping company to Matic to run.

So now no company dares to bid with Li He easily, as long as Li He raises his card, other companies can hold back, stability and harmony are the most important.

As soon as the reserve price of the Gorky Engine Factory came out, Jiang Health Care was the first to raise the sign, and sure enough, there was no major international company behind him, only some local Russians made up the numbers behind.

The bankers who presided over the auction had never seen such a situation, when did these multinational companies become sheep?

Under Li He's signal, Jiang Health Care directly increased the price by 500,000 US dollars, and sure enough, no Russian was willing to follow.

The Gorky Engine Plant changed hands for $1.2 million.

Li He felt that the hero was lonely, and it was not fun to have no opponent.

After Jiang Health Care and the others went through the handover procedures, Li He originally wanted to go to the engine factory to have a look, but after thinking about it, he still had too many industries in his hands, and if he looked at it from one family, he really couldn't see it.

He still drove himself back to Moscow.

Liu Baoyong relayed to Li He the Russian government's opinion on the Betlerev Institute, saying that joint ventures are possible, and there is no need to think about other aspects.

Li He wondered, "They have no money, can they afford it?"

Liu Baoyong said, "This is not only a semiconductor research institute, but also a research institute for nuclear energy research and space technology research. ”

"Forget it. As soon as Li He heard that there were nuclear energy facilities, he immediately gave up, even if the Russian government agreed, he didn't dare to ask for it, he didn't want to be hunted down by the Yankees, "What do you say about the joint venture?"

Liu Bao said, "Invested in the semiconductor factory under the research institute. ”

"Did you say how much money is needed?" This means that you need to do localized business again, Li He is very cautious this time, don't throw away the money, and in the end he can't survive.

Liu Bao said, "The research institute wants to produce gallium arsenide integrated circuits, which is about 50 million US dollars. ”

"I have no problem with making gallium arsenide integrated circuits. With the demand for wireless communication, the gallium arsenide integrated circuit market will definitely get bigger and bigger, but Li He does not recognize this amount, "It won't take 50 million at all." ”

"It's good that you understand. ”

"Who do you have to send money to?" Li He didn't understand the trick until recently.

"Grachev. ”

"Minister of Defense?" Li He could not have imagined that such a figure would be involved in an institute.

Liu Baoyong nodded, "You can do it yourself, I won't mix." ”

Now that it was sorted out, it was easy to do, and that night Matic went to find David, a Georgian fellow of Temur and an assistant to former Soviet President Gotu. David sent $1 million to Grachev's assistant.

Within a few days, the joint venture project between Russia's Delta Bank and Russia's Betlerev Institute had been finalized, and a total of only 3 million US dollars was used to obtain 49% of the equity of the Betlerev semiconductor plant.

At the signing ceremony, Li He's full attention was attracted by the eyes of one person. The man hung his head slightly, his eyes raised, and stared at Li He, as if he wanted to remember every detail in a few seconds.

There was depression in his eyes, which made Li He feel uncomfortable.

Ivanov wanted to come forward to trouble that person, but Li He quickly stopped him, and he didn't die.
