Chapter 574: the

After exchanging business blows with a group of old men, Louis invited Li Yadong into a private room.

Li Yadong knew that this old man's invitation to himself was not as simple as drinking, so he motioned for the Qi brothers to wait outside the door, and walked in with him.

The soundproofing of the room is good, after the door is closed, it seems to be two worlds from the outside, there is no one else, only him and Louis.

Louis invited him to sit down on the American leather sofa, poured him the same drink as before, and sat down himself.

Li Yadong knew that it was time to get to the point.

"Boss Li, can I take the liberty of asking, how did you come up with the idea of opening a bank in the Soviet Union?"

Want to find out the details of Lao Tzu?

No way!

Li Yadong smiled indifferently and asked: "What about you, Mr. Louis? Why did you go to the Soviet Union to open a bank? You should be an American, the United States is in North America, and the Soviet Union is in Europe, which is halfway around the world?"

Louis didn't mind, the old man smiled: "It's very simple, the opening up of a new capital market, there must be opportunities, plus the Soviet Union is one of the world's two major superpowers, of course I will not miss it." ”

"Is it?" said Li Yadong, seemingly casually, "but as far as I know, Mr. Louis was one of the first private bankers to come to the Soviet Union, when Soviet policy on the capitalist market should have not been implemented. Could it be that you have the inside story?"

"Of course. ”

"Huh?" Li Yadong was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect the other party to answer so crisply.

He originally had some conjectures, but to be reasonable, even if the other party has an inside story, this kind of thing should not be casually said to outsiders, right?

What does this mean?

Could it be that when we met for the first time, I was conquered by the charm of my buddies, and I was ready to worship someone or something?

No way!

Things are a little strange.

Li Yadong put on a look of waiting for the following, and the other party did not play cards according to the routine, which made him a little puzzled for a while, and he planned to wait and see the changes first and say less.

"Boss Li, look, I have already answered a question from you. Shouldn't you answer the question I just asked?" Louis said with a smile.

It's really an old fox who won't eat a penny.

"My reason is simpler. Presumably, Mr. Louis also knows that I originally came here to engage in trade, and suddenly found out that the Soviet government had the idea of building a capital market and had also opened up the application for banking licenses. Li Yadong took a sip of red wine from Bordeaux Manor in France, and replied with a light smile.

"Boss Li didn't tell the truth. Louis shook his head with a smile and took a sip from his glass.

He drinks whiskey from Italy.

It's not that Li Yadong has raised his face, he feels that these high-end drinks should be his, and this hotel is likely to be purchased from his trading house.

Because before he started pouring high-end goods, these things were very rare in Soviet hotels, and they were treasured by the wine cabinets of the privileged.

"Oh?" Li Yadong smiled playfully and asked, "How can Mr. Louis determine whether I am telling the truth or not?"

"It's a simple truth. If Boss Li just wanted to get a bank license to have a good time, how could he go to such great lengths to lay out seven bank outlets in the Soviet Union, and in addition, the interest rate of wealth management products was so high. Obviously, Boss Li must have grasped some business opportunities and wanted to do a big job. Am I right?"

Li Yadong shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

After Louis glanced at him, he smiled and continued: "I guess that the business opportunities that Boss Li grasped should be the same as ours, but is Boss Li's methods too radical, what if the situation you expected does not happen?"

Really!

Li Yadong squinted slightly, knowing very well what the old man's so-called "business opportunity" was, he had guessed before, and now it has been verified, this group of private bankers from the West did have insight into the next downward trend of the ruble.

But from his words, Li Yadong understood another thing: they did not know exactly how far the ruble would fall.

It can even be said that it is far from clear.

Otherwise, how could I be scared if I just got an interest rate of 10% for one year and 20% for two years?

Yes, scared.

I must have been a little frightened, otherwise I wouldn't have invited myself over today.

And the purpose of inviting himself over, Li Yadong is now clear, it is nothing more than peace talks.

"If it didn't happen, it didn't happen. Li Yadong said with a lot of money, "I have a lot of industries under my name, and there are more places to use money, even if I really look away, I am sure that I can take the savings of the Soviet people and earn more money, and I can't lose money." ”

"I believe that. Louis seemed to be very sincere and said, "Boss Li can create such a huge amount of wealth at such a young age, it is obvious that he is a business wizard, but there is a risk in doing so after all, why not eliminate this risk and make a fortune with peace of mind?"

"Oh, how do you get rid of it?" Li Yadong pretended to be stupid.

"This ......" Louis was also a little drunk, and said in his heart: You are a hairy boy, where did you come from such a fancy intestine, don't you talk normally?

Smiled a little far-fetchedly, "Of course, it is to restore the interest rate of wealth management products to the standard level." ”

"Standard level?" Li Yadong didn't plan to cooperate anyway, and asked with a light smile, "What standard?

He didn't bother to wear a pair of pants with these guys, and if the interest rate was adjusted to the same as theirs, wouldn't his absolute advantage be gone?

As a result, of course, the amount of deposits has decreased significantly.

You have to know how much the depositor saves now, and he basically earns as much as he makes!

Such a good deal, even if you break the sky, it will not be easy to make.

"Aligning with us is the standard. The smile on Louis's face gradually faded a little, and he realized that the kid in front of him was a-trick stick.

"Oh?" Li Yadong said without seeing his joy or anger, "Then I would like to use the question that Mr. Louis asked me just now, and ask you instead." You are so sure that you will not lose money if you issue wealth management products at your interest rate?"

He originally wanted to make a end and directly gag the other party's mouth, because the financial market is ever-changing, and theoretically, no one can guarantee a steady profit or loss.

Then after the other party is stopped, he can directly flash people.

But unexpectedly, Louis said very firmly, "Of course!"

When you're a sister!

He saw Li Yadong's disbelief, and said a little proudly, "As long as Boss Li is willing to join our camp and act according to the plan, then we can ensure that you will make a steady profit." Didn't Boss Li ask me about the inside story earlier, I can tell you very clearly now, we just have an insider, we have a strong ally at the government level, he can ensure the accuracy and well-informed of our information, figuratively speaking, we can know in advance without the government's policy, and ...... Well, I can only reveal so much at the moment, but if Boss Li joins us, it will be a different matter. ”

I'm going to ...... Li Yadong frowned slightly, and instantly signaled that this matter is not simple.

I already felt strange, but now I feel more and more that there seems to be a huge conspiracy hidden in it.

Politicians and bankers collude with each other?

What about the purpose?

Li Yadong held his cheeks and pondered for a while, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"Mr. Louis, your so-called allies could not be NATO spies lurking in the Soviet government, right?"

"This ...... I can't tell you, I just said that as long as Boss Li is willing to join us, then everything is another matter. We will definitely be open and honest with our own people. ”

Although he didn't answer, Li Yadong already knew it.

Dog, I never expected that there would be such a bad thing in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Let's just say that the Soviet Union is huge, how can it be said that it will disintegrate when it disintegrates.

It turns out that not only is there internal decay, but there are also people who are doing something to their economy.
