Chapter 322: Planning for the collapse of the Soviet Union

It was 1990, and by 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed.

Li Zetian is now not only paying attention to the stock market crash in Japan, but also to the Soviet Union.

The Umbrella Company now has seven or eight billion dollars in cash reserves, and if it can make another fortune in the Soviet Union, it will make a fortune.

The cost of scientific and technological research and development is huge, and Li Zetian naturally wants to make use of the memories of his previous life to make money in a frenzied way! In addition, the Soviet Union's machinery and equipment, energy and minerals, and technical personnel are all Li Zetian's goals.

Come to think of it, it's time to start laying out!

After dinner one day, Li Zetian called Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin to the study, and then said solemnly to the two of them: "According to what I know, the Soviet Union may be about to disintegrate......

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin both showed a look of surprise on their faces.

The Soviet Union has always been the great enemy of the United States, with a vast territory and strong national strength.

Could such a huge country disintegrate?

Yu Jingqiu couldn't help but say: "The Soviet Union shouldn't be so easy to disintegrate, right?"

Li Zetian said: "After Brezhnev came to power, a large number of cronies were promoted, and a privileged class with Brezhnev as the core was formed in the Soviet political arena. Corruption, theft and appropriation of State property are widespread, bribery and inefficient production are common. The privileged strata of the Soviet Union had long since appropriated a large amount of the country's wealth for themselves. The prevalence of corruption not only brought huge economic losses to the country, but also had a great impact on the party style and social atmosphere of the CPSU.

Li Zetian paused, and then continued: "When Gorbachev came to power in 1985, he tried to reverse this stagnant and rigid situation, and carried out very drastic reforms, but the reforms failed, resulting in a continuous decline in the economy and a continuous decline in people's living standards. At the same time, it provoked strong discontent and social unrest among the privileged strata of the Soviet Union.

In 1988, Gorbachev shifted the focus of reform to the political sphere, implemented political 'pluralism' and a multi-party system, weakened and abandoned the leadership of the CPSU, and the opposition took advantage of the situation, resulting in increasing social unrest! Thus, on March 11, 1990, Lithuania declared independence!"

As he spoke, Li Zetian took out a newspaper and handed it to the two of them!

After they finished reading it, Li Zetian said very firmly: "Lithuania is just the beginning, and I speculate that other republics have followed suit, and have successively issued statements announcing the restoration or recovery of sovereignty. At that time, the Soviet Union will exist in name only, and it will also disintegrate!"

Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were both shocked.

Li Zetian didn't wait for them to come back to their senses, and continued: "With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the value of the ruble will inevitably depreciate wildly, borrow 10,000 rubles now, and repay 10,000 rubles in the future, it is not difficult to imagine how big the profit is in the middle!"

Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Once the Soviet Union collapses, inflation will inevitably be very rapid, and the value of the ruble will drop sharply, like waste paper. Now, 1 dollar can be exchanged for 0.6 rubles, and I am afraid that in the future, 1 dollar will be enough to exchange for thousands of rubles!!"

"That's right, Yuqin's analysis is very accurate!" Li Zetian nodded and smiled, "Now go to the Soviet Union, borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, and then buy mines, enterprises, or convert them into dollars, etc., you can make a lot of money!!"

After Li Zetian finished speaking, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin's eyes couldn't help but light up, their eyes flashed with excitement, and their eyes looked at Li Zetian full of admiration and love.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "The Umbrella International Security Company has dealt with the Soviet government, and even done business with the Soviet military. This time, I plan to send them to the Soviet Union, wait for the collapse of the Soviet Union, and immediately poach the Soviet talents. At this moment, the Soviet Union is full of corruption, social unrest, and the economy is severe, and people are living in dire straits, even scientists are no better, and three full meals a day are considered good. As you know, I'm the most hungry for talent, how can I sit idly by!" Li Zetian said at the end and laughed.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "The collapse of the Soviet Union is really possible, but I don't know the specific time. If we knew, we could seize the opportunity and go short in rubles!"

Li Zetian pretended to be pensive, and then said: "The time of Lithuania's independence is March 1990, and other imitators need a period of planning and preparation. I think one year should be enough, so, in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed!!"

These words convinced Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin.

The reason why Li Zetian is so sure is that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is the trend of the times, and his "butterfly" cannot affect the general trend. Of course, Li Zetian did not participate in Soviet politics and did not have much intersection with the Soviet Union. Even the Umbrella Security Company, in cooperation with the Soviet military, only bought their arms, and did not affect the political level.

From the beginning of this night, Li Zetian began to plan how to get the maximum benefit from the Soviet Union.

In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, all operations were carried out in secret, and no one could know that Li Zetian took advantage of the fire to rob the Soviet Union on the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It is said that the United States used hundreds of millions of dollars to earn the wealth worth $28 trillion accumulated by the people of the former Soviet Union for 70 years, and Leo Vantaa, the mastermind behind the scenes, was finally controlled by the United States.

It is extremely difficult for Li Zetian to imagine how Leo Vantaa made so much money, and Li Zetian felt that it was impossible to do it by himself! For him, it should be no problem to make hundreds of billions of dollars without asking for more, and maybe more......

……

……

Japan's stock market crash continues, and there is no hope of recovery in two years.

And the two Germany are about to be reunified, and the country is a little chaotic, at this time, Li Zetian decided to take over important German enterprises!

"Are you really going to buy BASF and Bayer?"

Dongfang Yuqin looked at Li Zetian and asked with a hint of shock.

Li Zetian nodded and said, "That's right, yes! Bayer AG is the largest industrial group in Germany, among which polymers, medicine and health care, chemical industry and agriculture are the company's four pillar industries. The company produced aspirin, known as the 'medicine of the century', and heroin, the 'devil's masterpiece'. The acquisition of Bayer AG will greatly strengthen the strength of Gene Technologies!!

BASF produces a wide range of chemicals, such as solvents, synthetic amines, artificial resins, adhesives, electronic chemicals, industrial gases, petrochemical raw materials and inorganic chemical reagents, and its main customers come from the pharmaceutical, construction, textile and automotive industries. ”

"I want to take advantage of the fact that there is no reunification between Germany and no time to take care of it, and try to win the powerful German enterprises, otherwise, there will be no way in the future!"

When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, she nodded, indicating her understanding.
