(A few days ago, a reader reported that wages and prices in this book were chaotic, but in fact wages and prices were so chaotic and irregular during the Russian shock that it is impossible for the author to write down every wage increase and price change.) ）

"What is the situation in Moscow now? What is the exchange rate? How much privatization securities have we collected?" Jia Lei asked as he sat in the car.

"Because the Gaidar government has resigned, the security situation in Moscow has improved! But the economy has become worse, and since the ruble exchange rate has fallen below 400, it has become even more difficult for the common people. The Russian government may be forced to raise wages again!" said Novan said.

"The government wants to raise wages again, but do they have money?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

Now all the preferential tax policies in country E have been abolished, and all goods are subject to 28% value-added tax, and at the same time, they have also imposed a high consumption tax and corporate tax on imported goods. Novan said.

"It's not a way to always collect taxes like this, the companies of Eross are already struggling, and now they are struggling to support themselves, and the government still requires them to pay such heavy taxes, these companies may not be able to hold on. Jia Lei shook his head and said.

"What's the solution, if you don't raise taxes, the government won't have the money to pay salaries! Recently, the government has been in arrears for several months for the Black Sea Fleet, and the group of sailors has already said that they are going to drive warships along the coast to rob them. Novan said.

"Oh my God, is the situation in Ross so bad? Jia Lei, it's too dangerous for us to come to Moscow now, right?" asked the little Jew in surprise when he heard this.

"The situation in Moscow is much better now than before! When I came here two months ago, there were bullets flying all over the streets! Anyway, this is their own business, and we can't take care of it, as long as we are careful not to be injured by mistake. Novan, since the government of country E has raised the wages of workers, then we can't be left behind. What is the salary in Moscow now?" Jia Lei asked.

"Now the salary of ordinary salesmen in Moscow has risen to 8,000 rubles, the salary of ordinary civil servants has exceeded 10,000 rubles, and we also followed the government last month to raise the salaries of employees. Novan reported.

"Let's not lack that money, let's exchange the benefits directly into dollars and send them to the department store employees! It's Christmas soon, and these dollars will be my Christmas gift to them." Jia Lei commanded.

"Okay, boss! the employees will thank you!" Nowan nodded.

"Novan, you can send the documents of these two months to my room later, I want to take a good look at them!" Jia Lei ordered him again.

"Yes, boss!" replied Novan.

****

"Jia Lei didn't expect you to be so serious when you were working? Are you completely the same person as you were when you were in China? It's too serious, like a little old man!" said the little Jew who looked at Jia Lei who was reading the documents in surprise.

"When I'm in China, it's like coming home, and I'm naturally relaxed! I'm too young, if I don't keep a straight face and be serious abroad, how can I make my subordinates obedient!" Jia Lei sat at the hotel table and flipped through the report.

"It seems that it is not easy for you! I used to think that it would be as easy for you to make money outside as it was to speculate in stocks. ”。

"Since you know that it is not easy for me, then you can help me share a little more. I will take you to meet a few people in the next few days, and your main job in the future is to build a good relationship with them, and I can be half easy without these entertainments. Jia Lei said.

"I see!".

"And what are we going to do tomorrow?" asked the little Jew.

"Let's go to the auction house tomorrow and see the current price of privatized securities, and then I'll take you to the banquet. Jia Lei said.

Ever since the issuance of privatized securities, many private stock exchanges and various securities investment funds have sprung up in Moscow overnight, and these people have tried their best to lure the people who have received privatized securities, to make them invest in privatized securities, and then to sell them at a high price as soon as they turn around.

"Although the scale of the transaction we are going to today is not large, there are many people who go because the owner of the exchange has a government background. Novan said.

"Boss, why don't we just buy from those fund companies? That's what other Wall Street bankers do!" Pete asked.

"Because they're selling expensive? How dare these people ask me $30 for a privatized security? I have been in Moscow for a year or two, so can I not know the prices? Jia Lei sneered.

"Don't say anything else! Pouring securities is your boss's housekeeping ability, I think Jia Lei's first pot of gold was earned by reselling securities with us!"

"Yes!" Jia Lei nodded.

Soon they entered the exchange, and Jia Lei first led people to listen carefully to the conversations of others in the exchange.

"Have you heard, someone sold a privatized securities for 20,000 rubles in the square, and in Boli you can buy two privatized securities.

"I've heard about it, but you don't look at Boley, there is a port! I've heard that there are people in the area who are buying a lot of privatization securities and want to buy the port, so the privatization securities are so expensive. Another person said.

"It's a pity that we are not from the border area, and that place borders China, so there are a lot of rich people. A Moscow resident said enviously.

"Yes, our privatized securities here are worth 8,500 rubles, or $20. The other man sighed and said.

"Why don't we also invest our privatized securities in the foundation, and they say we can pay 200 percent interest a year!" said an old man.

"Come on, we also have a securities foundation near our house, and many residents have invested in their privatized securities last month. As a result, this group of people with a black conscience sold securities to foreigners and ran away with the money themselves. Fortunately, my securities were kept and not sold! Another old man, Berbov, said.

"Then grandpa, what do you want to do with your securities?" Jia Lei leaned over and asked.

"We have a vegetable plot in the community, and I want to come here and buy a few privatization securities, and use them to add my own share to buy that vegetable plot. Berbov said with a smile.

"But Berbov, you've been here several times, why haven't you bought privatization securities yet?" asked another old man, Huntelaar.

"When I first came here, I didn't buy the privatization securities because they were too expensive, and I thought that after a while there would be more securities, the price of the privatization securities would come down after a while, but I didn't expect that every time I came to the privatization securities, the price would be higher than the last time.

"Actually, it's not that the price of privatized securities is high, but that the ruble has depreciated, and Grandpa Berbov advised you to buy the securities as soon as possible, because maybe the ruble will depreciate again in two days! Then the price of the securities will be even more expensive!" Jia Lei reminded him.

"Hey...... It seems that this is the only way to do it, and I would have bought it earlier if I had known that it was now! That would have saved some money, when the price of a security was only five or six thousand rubles. Berbov said.

"For the sake of the two of us who have known each other for so long, how about 8,000 rubles a piece if you buy privatization securities from me?" asked Huntelaar.

"Okay, you're at a fair price, I'll buy it." Propov finally nodded and said.

Then he took out a thick 80,000 rubles from his bag and handed it over, and Huntelaar opened his backpack and counted ten privatization securities and handed them to him.

"Grandpa, where did you get so many privatized securities?" asked Jia Lei with a curious look.

"I took them from the countryside, and you don't know that the rural people in the nearby countryside don't know how to privatize securities, and a private securities sells for one or two thousand roubles! So I brought a lot of money to those rural places. Received these privatized securities back. Huntelaar said happily.

"Then how are you going to buy these securities? 8,000 rubles each?" Jia Lei asked.

"8,000 roubles is not enough, but a privatized security on the exchange will sell for at least 8,500 roubles! I used to know Berbov before, so I would sell privatized securities to him so cheaply, and I would not sell them so cheaply to ordinary people. Huntelaar hastenedly said.

"If I buy more, can't it be cheaper?" Jia Lei asked him again.

"Then I'll see how much you buy? If you buy a lot of money, I can get it cheaper. Huntelaar glanced up and down at the clothes on Jia Lei's body, squinted his eyes and said.

"Eight thousand rubles a piece, I want as many as I want!" Jia Lei said.

"Okay! Huntelaar nodded.

"Now can you tell me how many securities you have in your hand?" asked Jia Lei.

"I can't say this for the time being, let's do the first business first, I have five hundred privatized securities here, you can give the money!" Huntelaar said very cautiously.

Now that the streets of Moscow are getting worse and worse, and there are more and more swindlers and robbers of all kinds, he does not dare to trust anyone.

"Kerr gives money!" Mr. Jia said.

"Okay boss!" Kerr said, taking his bag down.

"Aren't you tired of walking back and forth with so much money all day?" asked the little Jew curiously.

"Hey, I'm not stupid, I don't go to the street with so much money every day. I'm here to buy something today, that's why I have so much cash. Since the depreciation of the ruble, it has become more and more troublesome to carry cash out of the house. Jia Lei sighed and said.

"Yes, I also find it troublesome, but fortunately, a new version of the ruble was released this year, and a large ticket with a face value of 10,000 yuan was issued, so it was more convenient. Huntelaar nodded.

I remember when I first came to you, it was in the former Soviet Union, when the maximum face value of the ruble was only 100, but at that time, the ruble was worth a lot more than the dollar! Last year, the former Soviet Union printed a 1,000 ruble, but at this time 200 rubles can be exchanged for one dollar. Now the government has printed another 10,000 roubles, but it is worth 25 dollars. Jia Lei analyzed to Huntelaar.

That's why I try to exchange rubles for dollars every day and keep them at home, because the dollar will not depreciate. Huntelaar nodded.

"You're right!" Jia Lei nodded, and then he gestured to Kerr.

"Privatized securities! 8,000 rubles a piece, as many as you want. Kerr immediately shouted loudly.

After hearing Kerr's shout, a few people in the stock exchange walked over to Jia Lei, and Jia Lei smiled with satisfaction.

As the auction approached, the price of privatized securities became higher and higher, and most of the private privatized securities were concentrated in the hands of investment funds and ticket sellers, and the price of privatized securities gradually rose to $40 a piece.

Finally, the day of the auction has arrived!

"Little Jew, look, the huge steel mill down there is my target this time. Jia Lei sat on the plane and pointed to the Cheli Yabin Iron and Steel Plant and said.

"This steel mill is so big, you can see it so clearly from the plane!"

"It's because it's so big, that's why I have to buy so many privatized securities! 10,000 privatized securities, I can buy one percent of its shares!" Jia Lei sighed.

"That's right, thanks to the fact that it's privatized and there is an auction of securities, otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford it. ”。

"That's it!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

After Jia Lei got off the plane, he rushed to the auction hall with the little Jew, and there were many people in this hall today, including employees and leaders of the steel plant, as well as domestic and foreign businessmen who were interested in the steel plant.

Because 80 percent of the shares of the steel plant have been distributed to all employees, today's auction is to confirm 30 percent of the shares in the public part and auction the remaining 20 percent of the shares.

"Da Da! Silence! The auction of shares in the Chelyabin Iron and Steel Plant is now open. According to state regulations, employees of steel mills can preemptively subscribe for 29 percent of the shares auctioned by the state to the public sector, and they can only buy shares in steel plants when they have all given up the others. Does anyone who wants to buy shares from the employees of the Chelyabin Iron and Steel Plant?" asked the auctioneer.

"Yes!" Jia Lei immediately raised his hand, and several other people also raised their hands at the same time.

"Where did these people come from?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the other people.

"Director Galldarsky came to our factory a while ago with that German Louis, and Director Gaudivus himself is a dog under Director Geldarsky. They're all in a gang!" Imorton, who was sitting behind Jia Lei, covered his mouth with his hand.

On the surface, he and Jia Lei are inseparable rivals, but in fact, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship.

"It seems that Director Gairdowski is trying to dump me and do it himself, but where did he get so much money?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"I have heard that the director of the Geldarsky factory recently sold several thousand tons of steel to a foreign trade company on credit! The money ended up in his own pocket, and he would not have to pay back the money if the steel factory was returned. Immockton said.

"Persons who want to buy shares in the public part of the steel plant are asked to show their privatization securities and subscription qualifications. The auctioneer said.

In fact, Jia Lei's shares from the employees of the steel plant are the equity of the steel plant, and Jia Lei immediately asked people to take the stocks and private securities, and subscribed for his own 10% equity according to the proportion.

At the same time, the director of the Geldarsky plant also subscribed for 10 percent, and Echoton and another part of the steel plant subscribed for the remaining 9 percent.

Because this part of the equity is subscribed with stocks, the competition is not fierce.
