Chapter 350: The Parade
"We want bread!"
"We want clothes!"
"We want to be free!"
Standing on an avenue near Red Square, Kolya shouted slogans to the masses in the industrial zone with a loudspeaker. It was another spontaneous gathering, the same scene that was played out dozens of times a day in Moscow, except that today it was presided over by Korya.
In the distance, you can hear slogans near Red Square. Coria couldn't help but be a little envious, the closer to Red Square, the more listeners there were, and the more prestige the host became. He guessed that in another month, he might be able to open an altar and shout slogans near Red Square.
There is no better time for politically friendly Russians than at the beginning of 1992. Especially for those who have not held public office, the 350th march is the best way to organize mass demonstrations and rallies. If you do it well, you can get a good job in no time.
The new President Boris Yeltsin set an example for the Russians, who seized state power in Russia as a non-partisan person, successfully ascended to the top and successfully dismembered the Soviet Union by means of mass rallies. Of course, Yeltsin was an important figure in the CPSU before, but the current Russians will not propagate this, and no one wants to delve into this.
Standing on a flowerbed without flowers, Koria shouted hoarsely at the families of the industrial zone: "We want privatization, we want bread, we want hot water, we want to be the owner of the factory." ”
In his heart, he was thinking of the words "I want power".
Under the flower beds. There were seven or eight other people who cheered up Korya. They used to be workers at the No. 3 Bearing Factory on the outskirts of Moscow, specializing in the production of bearings for military factories, but since Gorbachev came to power, the operating rate of the bearing factory has been getting lower and lower day by day, and then it has simply stopped production. It is not surprising to everyone that the army is selling weapons and equipment, and what do military factories still produce them.
Thereupon. Korya: They became one of the first Soviets to lose their job in Chapter 350.
These seven or eight people are desperately helping below, naturally not because they are kind-hearted, but because Coria promised to get a public position. Will help give them a job, at least help them organize mass rallies. For them at this time, this is the greatest hope. Therefore, one by one, they tried to scream, trying to make the rally look lively and attract the attention of the government.
The masses who participated in the rally were also full of fighting spirit. The lack of material things hurt Muscovites, who have suffered a lot in recent years, but not as hard as they do now. The lack of food and clothing has made them concentrate their energy on their spiritual life, and participating in political opportunities, listening to speeches and marches has become the best way for people to vent.
Kolya can organize a few thousand people. It also benefits from the general environment of society.
The Slavic men, who had lost their jobs, could no longer shout at women at home, so they had to go out into the streets and shout.
The mother, who could not buy bread and eggs, did not want to stay at home, and the kitchen was empty, so she could only drink water and curse the government. Scold them for not having their freedom in place. scolded them for not showing up for the good they promised, and scolded them for their ** and inaction......
A rally was so lively that Coria was overjoyed and shouted: "We want bread! We want hot water! We want to be the master of the factory!"
At this moment, a middle-aged uncle who looked like a worker suddenly jumped onto the flower bed and raised his fist. In the same tone as Kolya, he shouted: "We want rubles!
Koria was taken aback, nothing to shout what rubles?
Mass rallies are not something you can shout whatever you want, you can "want democracy", "you want freedom", you can "want bread", "you want milk"...... But you can't ask for something that actually exists.
Buy something in rubles?
Is this something that the government can solve? The government itself can't buy anything in rubles.
Koria made a face, and let the middle-aged worker who shouted pull down the flower bed.
However, the masses have already spontaneously shouted: "We want rubles, we want to buy things!"
In Moscow, there are not a few working families who have deposits totaling 40,000 or 50,000 rubles. If there is no inflation, this money can be used to buy several cars and eat and drink for 10 years. If the bank allows the exchange of foreign currency, it can be exchanged for more than $100,000.
However, the current 50,000 rubles is only enough to barely live for a few months.
Although not everyone can say the words purchasing power of money, everyone knows their losses.
To buy something in rubles!
When this slogan was shouted, it immediately shook the hearts of the masses, and everyone shouted with several times the enthusiasm and excitedly circled around.
Gradually, some people began to walk out.
The slogan is still "We want to buy something!"
Kolya's face turned white, and he shouted something, but no one could hear him.
The crowd continued outward, quickly onto the road, blocking the traffic, and then naturally headed in the direction of Red Square.
That's the parade!
The parade is not terrible, at this time in Moscow, every day is a parade.
The key is who directs the march and what the purpose of the march is.
In Koria's fantasy, he would one day rush into Red Square with a contingent of tens of thousands, chanting "freedom and peace". Then, because of his excellent organizational skills, he can get a public office.
However, shouting "we want to buy something" rushed into Red Square, and that was the ** march.
Coria couldn't help but reach out and grab the person in front of him, but the other party didn't even look at it, and with a flick of his arm, he broke away.
More and more people were infected and joined the march.
The march, which lasted two days, undoubtedly alarmed the Russian upper echelons.
For two days, the TV station and the radio reported on the incident.
This is not the first time that the Russians have a strong opinion on the depreciation of the ruble, but the media and the participation of small traders from all walks of life have made the march much longer.
The Moscow city government is anxious to deal with the matter. Fortunately, they had a lot of things to deal with, and despite the hectic situation, there was no big mess.
However, it can't go on like this.
With financial reform alone and no material supplies, the situation will only get worse.
Many people have the same understanding.
On January 10, the State Bank of Russia finally sent someone to the Chinese embassy to ask for a meeting with the Chinese banking delegation.
Sikong Guan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The embassy counselor was nervous and busy, tidying up the house and cleaning the courtyard early in the morning.
Su Cheng saw it and said with surprise: "Isn't it a Russian bank?"
"Diplomacy is no small matter. The counselor said earnestly: "After a while, the Russians will come, and you should also take it seriously, when you go abroad, will the ministry train you?"
Several bankers who came with him all nodded.
Su Cheng looked left and right, only Gu Hongjun didn't move, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that we are two difficult brothers." ”
Gu Hongjun was stunned: "You also asked me? ”
"What have you studied?"
"Diplomatic etiquette, how to eat, how to shake hands, how to speak, what's wrong?" Gu Hongjun's eyes were about to bulge when he saw Su Cheng.
The counselor was not surprised and said: "In this way, Su Dong alone does not understand diplomatic etiquette." Okay, Su Dong will come to my room in the evening, let's study. ”
Sioux City is sure that if the counselor dares to say this in 20 years, a hat of sexual harassment will be taken off for you first.
Invite others to your room to study and study? Ordinary obscene uncles are embarrassed to be so straightforward.
Inviting men is even more excessive!
Of course, in 1992, Sioux City knew that studying in the room at night was really learning. It's like two male classmates, holding hands and going to the small room to do handicrafts, that's really handicrafts.
Under the counselor's courteous gaze, Su Cheng had no choice but to ask, "Can you do it during the day?"
"I have to work during the day. So be it. Rest for thirty minutes after dinner, and then you come over, and that's it. The counselor patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "We don't have much time, let's start today, don't forget." ”
Su Cheng burst into tears, only feeling that the hand of the Counselor was so soft and soft......
The State Bank of Russia sent a team of three, all old Soviet-era banks, who acted tepidly, but the bureaucracy was not reformed at all. After the meeting, you will need the qualification documents of the banking group.
Sikong Guan didn't think about it, he hugged a stack of documents to the table, and said with a smile: "We have been ready for a long time, you see, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we will discuss it again." ”
Previously, they feared that their qualifications would be rejected by the National Bank of Russia. Now that conditions are beginning to favor the Chinese banking syndicate, he is a little less worried.
This was beyond Su Cheng's expectations, and he immediately pressed a hand on the document, so that Sikong Guan could not hand over the document, and said: "Our qualification documents are the same thing, but what about the qualification documents of the State Bank of Russia? I remember yesterday the counselor said that one of the basic principles of diplomacy is reciprocity. Isn't it? Equivalence of power, reciprocity of obligations, and reciprocity of documents. ”
The fact that he has learned and used it can indeed be regarded as an excuse. Before we have even talked about it, it is not okay to leak all of our information to the other party.
Sikong Guan was a little embarrassed, but seeing Su Cheng's resolute attitude, he had to follow his words and say, "Yes, you have to be equal." ”
The leader Kokilev said unhappily: "According to the rules, we must first check your qualifications before deciding whether to cooperate or not." ”
"Rules can always be broken. "Sioux City stood on the territory of the Soviet Union, and when he said such a thing, he naturally attracted a burst of eyes.
The counselor thought helplessly: Why did I say so much last night, and you just remember the sentence of reciprocity?
After a stalemate with each other for a while, Kokirev made a gesture to leave.
Sikong Guan took a deep breath this time and looked at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng also looked at the other party calmly, without saying anything to stay.
