Chapter 524: Huge Business Opportunity

It's no wonder that Li Yadong is a little excited, because he knows that if the money lies in this safe for a while longer, it will be almost a pile of waste paper.

After all, the ruble is not like the dollar, it can be circulated in almost all parts of China, and major companies are especially fond of it. This thing is not recognized by the international community at all, and it cannot be freely circulated in world trade, at most it can be circulated within the Economic and Mutual Economic Association.

In that case, why bring it back and store it?

Looking forward to the next autumn?

"I ...... This doesn't mean that the company is not short of liquidity for the time being, so I will bring it back first, save it first, and change it when I want to use it. Isn't this thing the same as dollars, it's worth a lot of money? Jiang Tengfei scratched his head and said.

"Save your sister!" Li Yadong also had a big head for a while, so naturally he couldn't tell him that the Soviet Union was about to fall.

Yes, the ruble is now worth a lot, even more than the dollar.

The group's financial companies are also involved in the field of foreign exchange, so Li Yadong is very clear about this aspect.

The current exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar is 0.6:1, which is at an all-time high.

However, Li Yadong still remembers that at the end of this year, or at some point early tomorrow, the ruble will usher in the largest depreciation of the official exchange rate in nearly three decades, and if memory serves, the decline will be as much as three times.

That is, by that time 1.8 rubles, in order to exchange for 1 dollar.

What does this mean, it means that these millions of rubles in the safe, without waiting for the collapse of the USSR, maybe another month, maybe another week, maybe another day, will suddenly evaporate two-thirds.

Don't talk about making money at that time, you will work hard for half a year, and in the end, don't lose so much that you don't even have any pants left.

"How much money is there here?" asked Li Yadong.

"More than four million. ”

More than 4 million rubles, that's a lot, the yuan has continued to depreciate in recent years, and the current official exchange rate of the yuan against the US dollar is close to 1:5. Moreover, this is still the official exchange rate, which is basically impossible to convert due to the national conditions of this era and the need for US dollars. The real exchange rate of banks is at 1:8, and the black market is even higher, as high as 1:9.

Even if it is four million rubles, that is, more than six million US dollars, which is tens of millions of yuan.

Of course, this is the existing value.

When the ruble falls, the loss is also quite painful.

Therefore, it is imperative to exchange it as soon as possible.

"You are like this, quickly arrange a few reliable people, carry this money, go to the Soviet Union, convert it into US dollars according to the real-time exchange rate of the local bank, and then get it back. Li Yadong explained.

"Brother Dong, don't be in such a hurry, can't you change it when the next time the deposit passes?" Jiang Tengfei suggested with a hippie smile.

"If you are told to go, where did you come from such nonsense!" Li Yadong glanced at him angrily.

Of course, you're not in a hurry, and it's not your money that you're losing.

"Oh......"

Jiang Tengfei pushed the door out and called Xiao Tao and Xiao Hui in, both of them were like Xiao Shu who was now at the helm of the Soviet Union, and they were one of the eight King Kongs in the original Straw Hat Alley.

Your own family, trustworthy.

"Take a few more people on the road and stay safe. While they were packing up the money, Li Yadong instructed beside him.

"Well, Brother Dong, don't worry, we have both been with Brother Fei, we are familiar with each other, and we can't get out of the pool. ”

"That's good. Li Yadong nodded, and when he looked at the three of them putting money into the suitcase with their butts cocked and looking at the pile of brand-new rubles, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and he seemed to have seized a huge business opportunity, about money......

But I couldn't figure it out for a while, what was it?

In order not to be disturbed, Li Yadong paced to the windowsill and pondered with his cheeks.

"Money, rubles, dollars......"

Suddenly, Li Yadong's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's right!"

"What's wrong, Brother Dong?"

"Don't make a noise!"

“……”

Li Yadong suddenly realized a problem, he knew that the Soviet Union would inevitably disintegrate and the ruble would depreciate sharply, and he still remembered that the ruble, which was as expensive as gold in the past, became no different from a pile of waste paper after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and thousands of rubles could not be exchanged for a dollar, and thousands of rubles could not buy a piece of bread.

This is undoubtedly a big business opportunity, is there?

If...... He now borrowed a large number of rubles from Soviet banks and converted them all into dollars and deposited them, and the repayment deadline was set after the collapse of the Soviet Union......

Even according to the exchange rate that is about to be raised: 1.8 rubles for 1 dollar, then 180 million rubles is 100 million dollars, then he borrows 1.8 billion rubles, or 18 billion rubles......

Let's just say that the loan is 18 billion rubles, then it is a proper 10 billion dollars!

And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ruble was not worth anything at all, and people abandoned it, because a basket of rubles could not buy a basket of vegetables, so what was the use of keeping it?

By that time, how much will 18 billion rubles be worth?

I'm afraid it's not worth a million dollars.

Collect a few tractors and return them to the bank......

The profit in this ......

My day!

Thinking like this, Li Yadong himself was scared into a cold sweat.

I'm afraid it's not as good as such a huge profit to rob a bank directly!

The key is not to break the law.

"! This thing has to be done!" Li Yadong's eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Brother Dong, what are you doing?"

"Shut up!"

“……”

Li Yadong was completely immersed in his thoughts at the moment, considering the possibility of this matter.

What he didn't know was that he didn't have to think about it at all, it would definitely come to pass.

Why?

Because that's how the USSR fell.

What is the most effective way to defeat a country in today's society?

Is it war?

No, it's not.

Germany was defeated in World War II and it took only a few years to regain its strength.

The answer is...... Finance!

One of the key reasons for the real collapse of the Soviet Union was that the leadership of the alliance was only power-oriented and did not care about the economy, and was thus pried into the corner by a bunch of foreign bankers.

The end result is shocking and poignant: a superpower with trillions of dollars in assets was looted by a group of Western bankers for just $10 million.

This is also the most thrilling and tragic financial war in the history of mankind -- a superpower has completely collapsed! The wealth accumulated for 70 years has been wiped out in an instant!

As the saying goes, "go to the army to fight and strategize, and attack the heart first".

At this time, the Soviet Union was too powerful, and its armed forces were so powerful that even the United States, although it did not want to admit it, had to admit that if they really wanted to fight it, they would not be able to do anything about the Soviet Union.

So what can be done?

Only "attack the heart" and play tricks!

The United States made full use of various public opinion tactics and bombed the Soviet Union through various media and information channels to bomb and propagate the prosperity of the United States, the strength of the United States, and the free economic system behind it, which caused the Soviet Union to set off a frenzy of "admiration for the United States" and instigated the willingness of the Soviet people to choose the American model, thus laying a solid foundation for the victory or defeat of the next financial war.

At the same time, the United States also sent a large number of experts to infiltrate the Soviet Union to cooperate with the corrupt forces within the Soviet Union, and under the attack from inside and outside, the Soviet Union believed that the free market and financial openness were the cornerstones of prosperity, and even the necessary financial supervision was said to be a centralized restoration.

As a result, the disorderly opening up of the financial sector began, especially the vigorous "500-day plan" - the Soviet state-owned enterprises were broken down into marketable bonds and distributed to the whole people, completely completing privatization, so that the Soviet Union entered the stage of "fair free market" in one fell swoop.

Every Soviet received this negotiable bond, which ranged from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles per person, or about 3-40,000 dollars.

In the face of this flying "windfall", the Soviet people were naturally ecstatic. However, they did not realize at this time that this securities in their hands would become a lethal weapon to disintegrate their own country's economy!

At this time, a group of private bankers, the main force of the financial war, came into the scene. Investment banks, commercial banks, insurance institutions, and other foreign-funded financial institutions sprung up in the Soviet Union.

Modern management concepts, high-quality services of private banks, and international standard settlement methods, including free coffee, these foreign banks, through a set of high-level marketing methods honed in the markets of developed countries, overshadowed the perpetual queues of Soviet state-owned banks, through these fascinating means, they succeeded in buying and co-opting the savings of Soviet enterprises and Soviet people.

deposits of the USSR, as a result of which there was a massive transfer.

In addition, these foreign bankers also used "gray kickbacks and various tips" to arbitrage and borrow huge sums of rubles from the Central Bank of the Soviet Union, state-owned banks and financial institutions.

The ammunition is in place, a real financial massacre, and officially begins.

While the Soviet people were still cheering that they had received free bonds and had become "masters of state-owned enterprises," the "research reports" that had spurred the ruble and the Soviet state-owned enterprises on a large scale began to flood the international financial circles -- "the state-owned enterprises of the former Soviet Union were not capable of self-sustaining at all," "the bonds of the former Soviet state-owned enterprises were seriously overvalued," "the ruble needed to be repriced," and "the ruble should be floated more freely in the market."

The research reports of international financial institutions and the negative reports of the international financial media were overwhelming, and the prices of Soviet state-owned enterprise bonds also plummeted, and the Soviet people panicked and began to frantically sell their debts, and the price of bonds plummeted further.

At this time, foreign bankers came back to the scene, borrowing money from others (the money of the Soviet people, enterprises and financial institutions) to buy these bonds at a price like picking cabbage.

At this point, the ownership of the powerful state-owned industrial system built by generations of Soviets with blood and sweat has been completely transferred.

That is, the national economy and national industry of the USSR, just like that, were all sold by the Soviets from their own hands!

At this time, the Soviet people realized that the "free coffee" they tasted in foreign banks was not free......

However, it was too late to regret it.

Under a near-unguarded financial regulatory regime, Western bankers embarked on a final financial purge.

They have opened up the exchange rate market, and they have also opened up a secondary battlefield - the financial black market.

As a result, the ruble began to collapse, and the Soviet people rushed to private banks to make deposits, but at this time, they were scrambling to line up for the depreciating ruble for dollars.

Only now, these private bankers no longer show charming smiles and no longer offer free coffee.

The saddest thing happened - everyone's life savings were instantly devalued with the collapse of the ruble, the social market price system collapsed, and the financial system of the USSR collapsed completely!

This invincible creditor country was heavily indebted overnight, and the powerful country collapsed in an instant, and thus fell into a series of deep and complex social upheavals. The superpower that could compete with the United States has completely disappeared into the long river of history.

By this time, the debts of the foreign bankers from the Soviet people, enterprises, and financial institutions at high interest rates had become insignificant.

The wealth accumulated by the Soviet Union for 70 years was looted by a group of crazy financial predators for less than 10 million dollars!

This is the most thrilling financial war in human history, and it is also the most painful financial lesson in human history!

And Li Yadong is now thinking about the problem, that is, how to become a member of the group of financial predators who are more powerful than nuclear weapons.

Of course, he doesn't really know much about this history.

An ordinary person, no one would deliberately study this, it was purely by mistake that he touched this thief ship.
