Back at the embassy, Sikong Guan went to communicate with the members of the banking syndicate, nearly 10 of them representing six different banks, although each has its own interests entangled, but it is always closer.

Su Cheng looked thoughtful all the way, and when he arrived at the embassy, he also lay on the sofa in the embassy living room, regardless of the surprised eyes of the staff who came and went, and perfected his ideas.

Gu Hongjun conscientiously guarded Su Cheng's side, holding an apple in his hand, chewing juice, and looking at everyone who approached with his eyes, making people feel like they were looking for prey. People who passed by the living room walked around him.

Dinner was served by the embassy and was served with pickled cucumbers and tomato sauce, with onion soup and Russian bread, in addition to a small amount of pork. Everyone here came non-stop and arrived in Moscow in a hurry, and at the moment they relaxed and ate heartily.

At the end of the meal, the counselor came with tea, asked people to remove the table, and brought a few high chairs, arranged in a circle, like a salon, before sitting down and said with a smile: "I just received an official letter from the Russian Ministry of Finance. Over the next four weeks, they will examine the strength of the Chinese banking syndicate to decide whether to accept China's loan terms. You can start preparing. Congratulations, this is the first shot of China's financial business going abroad. ”

Everyone in the banking group knew that it was not, but they still accepted his congratulations with a shy face, and high-fived each other with a smile on their faces. Sikong Guan was even more satisfied: "It's so smooth!"

"It's been going really well, since I came to the Soviet Union. This is the fastest move of the Russian bureaucracy, and it seems that they really need supplies and money. The counselor laughed and laughed, and he also had a bit of a humorous style, which was exactly what people remembered as a diplomat.

Su Cheng smiled: "Who doesn't need it." ”

Several bank experts laughed out loud, feeling a little relaxed. After all, they came to the Soviet Union because they were in favor of Sioux City's plan, and now things are going well. It also shows that their move is correct, and with this, it can already be called a good start.

The counselor chatted a few more words. took a sip of tea, put it down and smiled: "Then, I'll reply to them." You should have brought the relevant qualification documents, and the Russian Ministry of Finance has not only former Soviet officials, but also Americans and Europeans, and they will probably also read it. Therefore, your documents, on the one hand, must be able to explain their own strength, and on the other hand, they must not leak state secrets. ”

Sikong Guan and the others looked at each other: "What kind of information is considered to be leaking state secrets? What is not counted?"

"Don't give what you shouldn't give, don't leave out what you should give. ”

"Western countries are still locking us down. Would it be discriminatory to have Americans or Europeans censor our banks?" Sikong Guan skipped the security question and couldn't help but look at Sioux City, although he always felt that he was too young, but when there was a problem. The first thing that came to his mind was Sioux City.

The counselor said: "This is the situation now. The Russian government does need supplies, but the first thing it needs is an international payment currency, so as to stabilize the ruble, and all we can provide is the yuan, so they must be inclined to the banks of Western countries. This is also something they have already discussed. Of course. The Russian government is in the current situation, any straw wants to grasp, our things, they also want, but they also can't help but worry, for example, the purpose of China's loans, the strength of China's banking groups, the ideas of Western countries, all in all, the situation is quite complicated, the ideas of both sides are close, and Russia's concerns should be understandable. ”

"Can you directly talk to the Russian side?" Sikong Guan is not the first time to go abroad.

"This is the opinion of official Russia. If you are concerned about security, you can ask the Military Attaché for help. ”

"It's not just ......about safety," Sikong Guan said embarrassedly, but his family knew about his own family, and none of their six banks had the strength of any Western bank combined. Maybe it is a little more confident than the RMB, and it is more confident than the US dollar, which is equivalent to showing the belly to others, and when the time comes, the attitude of the other party will definitely change.

Another expert had a similar idea, sighing, "Still not good." Otherwise, the meaning is forgotten. ”

The counselor did not know the ins and outs of the Bank of China group and its true purpose. Therefore, after listening to the words of the expert, I couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't mean it, do you really want to make a loan in Russia?"

The 10 representatives of the city of Gasu nodded in unison.

The counselor was stunned, spread his hand, and said, "Then there is nothing I can do." The Ministry of Finance of Russia and the National Bank of Russia are the natural institutions that manage finance, and if you want to give them loans, you can only go through them, and you must submit documents and qualification documents. ”

Sikong Guan gritted his teeth, rubbed his two fingers lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Can you use other means?"

The implication is that it is a bribe.

The counselor coughed violently twice and said, "Don't ask me about this." Russian official, though, is very strong ....... ”

"How big?"

"The Soviet man invited by our embassy, my father was sick and hospitalized, and he did not charge money for medicine, surgery and hospitalization, and was all reimbursed by the state, but he spent more than 4,000 US dollars to give the doctor a red envelope. "The Counsellor is not particularly shy about this issue, he works at the Russian embassy, and bribing Russians is one of his jobs. Or rather, only by bribing the Russians, it will work. In embassies around the world, there are only a handful of domestic laws that prohibit bribery of people from other countries, and in other countries, this is a gray area.

Sikong Guan gritted his teeth when he heard this: "$4,000 for the doctor?

"Before, the ruble was worth a lot, but then the ruble was not worth much, and the doctors asked for foreign currency. The counselor spread his hands and said: "Russia is very chaotic now, and it is not something that can be done with a little money, so you should report to the authorities." ”

The implication is that if money is used to open the way, it will require a huge sum of money that they cannot decide.

Sikong Guan shook his head, looked at Su Cheng again, and asked loudly, "Su Dong, what do you want?"

"Oh, I mean, these doctors are so bold. The Soviet Union was a system of free medical expenses?"

"Well, as long as you go to the hospital, you don't have to spend money on medicine, injections, infusion surgery, or hospitalization, etc. So...... The doctor will ask for a red envelope for a similar price. The counselor explained, and said with a mocking smile: "The old ruble was very useful. They ordinary people have an income of two or three thousand rubles a month, which is equivalent to six or seven thousand dollars, so giving a few thousand dollars in red envelopes is the same as when we give a few hundred dollars in red envelopes to hospitals. The monetary system of the USSR was paralyzed, and the sick had to come to the hospital whether they were paralyzed or not, and you look at the streets, where the highest prices of vegetables and fruits were sold in the family homes where the doctors lived. ”

In countries where there is no adequate regulatory system, free health care is the hotbed.

Because Su Cheng is young, he basically doesn't go to the hospital, and occasionally has a little cold, and he also asks people to send medicine, and he really hasn't learned about this.

He shook his head and said, "In this case, we can't go their way, so we can only walk one way ourselves." ”

"How?" asked Sikong Guan immediately.

"Let the Russians come to us and put some pressure on them, so that they don't scrutinize too carefully. ”

Sikong Guan nodded and asked, "Do you want to go through political channels?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's about the same, but it's not that complicated, let's sell the goods." ”

Sikong Guan was surprised: "How is that almost?"

"The Counsellor understands that the current Russia, although it is terrible, is indeed the most democratic period in the history of Russia, well, the power is in the hands of ordinary people. Su Cheng snapped his fingers and said: "The former rulers, the CPSU has been declared illegal, and Yeltsin's opposition is only in power, if you want me to say, they are now like our movement period, anyone can turn over and become the master, and no one dares to offend the majority." So...... Let's sell goods, let the Muscovites take the initiative to ask for loans, and then let the Ministry of Finance and banks come to us to talk. ”

The counselor clapped his hands and smiled: "What Su Dong said is wonderful. Unexpectedly, when you first arrived in Moscow, you studied Russian politics in depth. ”

Sikong Guan did not doubt him, and praised him: "Su Dong is already an expert on the international situation. In that case, how do we do it?"

"Do you remember the vendors who set up stalls you saw today? You said, if we send Chinese goods to us, they will be cheaper and better, will they be able to sell better? ”

"Of course. ”

"In this case, let's sell a large number of goods to these dealers, set a differential price, a very high ruble price, and a relatively low dollar price, the lowest is the price of RMB, and at the same time tell them that our Chinese government is ready to aid a large amount of RMB to the National Bank of Russia, so that they can go to the bank to exchange and take loans!"

"In this case, the National Bank of Russia will have to find a way to find a yuan?" Sikong Guan said, adding: "However, what if the government interferes, it seems that it is a bit illegal for us to do so." ”

We are indeed prepared to come up with a large amount of renminbi and give them as long as the National Bank of Russia is willing to lend. Of course, with the proviso, the National Bank of Russia should also allow us to operate a deposit and loan business in Russia, and at the same time, the National Bank of Russia should lend us an equivalent amount of rubles. Su Cheng paused as he spoke, smiled, and said, "When the time comes, the National Bank of Russia will return our yuan, and we will return the rubles of the National Bank of Russia, and everyone will not be in arrears, and each will settle its own account." ”

Sikong Guan pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "I think it's okay." If I were Russian, I would have agreed. Our requirements are far worse than those of Western banks. ”

"Well, we only need to make a fraction of the Western banking syndicate. Su Cheng smiled sincerely.
