Chapter 68: Jia Lei's long-awaited big deal is here!

Jia Lei has been in a good mood recently, and as soon as he is in a good mood, he seems to feel that he has entered December after only a few days.

December 1993 was really a happy time, because Jia Lei's layout for many years of looking forward to the stars and the moon finally began.

"Jia, since Vice President Gaidar came to power again, the privatization of enterprises in our country that has been stagnant for a while has begun to take place again, and I came to you this time to discuss with you the investment plans of our bank. Mikhail, the president of Menajet Bank and Russia's new energy minister, told Jia Lei.

"Mikhail, I have always trusted your vision, whatever you want to buy, go for it, I will support you unconditionally. Jia Lei said while cutting the steak.

"Because I'm in this position, I'm able to learn a lot about the policies of energy companies before others.

You know that there was originally only one large state-owned oil company in Russia, but in order to continue the privatization policy of His Excellency Yeltsin.

The Russian oil company took 40% of its best oil company resources and split it into three oil companies with a complete production system of oil fields, oil pipelines and oil refining.

These three oil companies will be privatized as pilot enterprises for the privatization reform of the oil industry, and now these three companies can operate independently after about half a year of cutting production. Mikhail said to Jia Lei.

"Da!" Jia Lei's hand shook when he heard this topic, and the knife cut directly onto the plate.

"There are so many oil companies in Russia, which are the three oil companies that are doing reform pilots?" Jia Lei tried his best to stabilize his mind and asked with a curious look.

The three companies are Lukoil in Western Siberia, Surgut Petroleum in the Surgut region and Yukos Oil.

Whichever of these three companies owns enough oil fields to be extracted for twenty or thirty years, so much oil, this is the only thing that Russia can exchange for dollars now. Mikhail excitedly said that the dollar is now the most popular in Russia.

"Since you care so much about these three oil companies, do you want to attack them?" Jia Lei asked knowingly, knowing that the richest man in Russia made his fortune from oil companies.

"Yes, I'm going to do it, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I did make a mistake. Mikhail immediately nodded and said.

"But with such a big oil company, it will cost you a lot of money to buy it, right?" Jia Lei asked.

"Yes, it costs a lot of money to buy them, and they have to buy them in dollars! That's why I'm coming to you. Mikhail said embarrassedly.

"I'll just say, with your dignified president of Menajet Bank, what does it take to come to me specifically for a job, it turns out that you need dollars? Jia Lei nodded and said.

"Don't look at our Menajet Bank looking glamorous, but our business is all based on my connections in the government.

The main source of income for our bank now is the profit generated by the government's loans to other enterprises deposited in our bank, but this money is all rubles, and no matter how much I earn, it is of little use, and I really do not have many dollars in my hand.

In this regard, we are not comparable to the United Export-Import Bank, which acts as an agent for the government's foreign trade transaction deposits, and the Alfa Bank, which collects taxes on behalf of the government!" Mikhail said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, everything in this world that can be solved with money is not a problem! Although I don't have much ability, I still have more than a billion dollars in my pocket, do whatever you want to do, and I'll pay for it." Jia Lei said to him seriously, this sentence moved Mikhail badly.

"Thank you! Jia Lei, I really thank you. Mikhail said happily.

Not just any friend will not hesitate to take out more than a billion dollars to support him, and at this moment in his heart, Jia Lei has become the best friend.

"No thanks, I'm a shareholder of Menajet Bank, as long as you buy the oil company and give me a part of the shares. Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Of course, how can you not get a stake in an oil company if you pay a lot of money. Mikhail immediately assured.

"So when are you going to do it? How many dollars do you need?" Jia Lei asked a little anxiously, this matter is related to whether he can become the richest man in China in the future.

These three oil companies, as pilot enterprises for reform, will reduce the size of the state's shareholding to 38 percent within three years, and they plan to distribute 25 percent of the oil company's shares to employees, 5 percent of the shares to the business leaders, and the remaining 32 percent of the shares to be sold to the public as a public part of the market.

So now we just need to come up with some privatization securities and be able to buy most of the shares that the government has launched to give to the public. Mikhail said happily.

"Privatization securities? I've stockpiled a lot of these things, and it seems that they will finally be used one day. Jia Lei also said happily.

"It's a pity that there are still too few shares listed now, far from reaching 30 percent of the shares, and most of the shares of these oil companies are still in the hands of the state, and we can't fully own these oil companies. Mikhail said with a sigh.

"You don't have to worry, the Russian economy is declining so badly, these things will be ours sooner or later.

I heard that the Yeltsin government is going to raise taxes again, because the profits of industrial companies such as oil companies are not high, and if the government always raises taxes, these companies will go bankrupt sooner or later. When the time comes, we will be able to take over these large oil companies smoothly!" Jia Lei said with great confidence.

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'd rather these companies don't go bankrupt than the Russian economy continues to decline!" said Mikhail, shaking his head, after all, his economic decline as an energy source is not a good thing.

"It's impossible for Russia's economy to keep from declining! As long as your government continues to raise taxes on corporations, inflation remains high, and the ruble exchange rate continues to depreciate, these big companies will not be able to survive bankruptcy sooner or later. Jia Lei said.

"Then I hope the day will come later!" said Mikhail with a wry smile.

"We have a saying in China called "Don't break it, don't stand!

If the day comes when these companies go bankrupt, then when you take over these oil companies, you only need to overhaul them to give them a new lease of life.

Isn't this better than if you let them continue to drag the government and the workers to survive? Sometimes it may be a good thing to break the bank!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Oh! You're right! It seems that I still have to look forward to that day sooner rather than later, and I can't wait to carry out a modern reform of these old state-owned enterprises. Mikhail said excitedly.

"Then I wish you all the best!" Jia Lei said, raising his glass.

"You should say that we wish our wishes come true!" said Mikhail with a smile.

"Ding!" the two cups slammed together gently, and two embarrassed smiling faces were reflected on the body of the cup.

Due to the reason why Jia Lei had cast a net to invest in six major financial oligarchs before this, he had many similar conversations in the past month, and soon Jia Lei's shares in several large Russian banks had many valuable assets such as factories and enterprises.

However, this is not Jia Lei's main concern, he is most concerned about the situation in Ukraine and Tatarstan.

****

Because of the rebirth, Jia Lei can clearly understand the shortcomings of the privatization policy that the Russian government is now pursuing, and he certainly can't watch Uzbekistan and Tatarstan jump into this big hole with Russia.

"Uncle, have you heard the news that the Russian government is going to privatize the military industry and oil enterprises?" asked Jia Lei.

"I've heard that although there are people there who want to privatize the oil companies, because you warned us earlier, we did not completely follow the orders of the Russian Federation.

Now we in Tatarstan are considering a new model of privatization, in which the Tatar government will slowly reduce its stake in oil companies to 40% in a few years in the next few years.

Local governments at all levels will own 15% of the shares of these large energy companies, and the employees of each company will share 41.34% of the company's shares, and we will only take out 3.66% of the company's shares to be listed and issued to the general public.

This would ensure that the large state-owned energy companies remain in the hands of the Tatar government, and would also prevent the privatization process from being used to embezzle the state-owned assets. Utaru said.

"You guys are doing a good job, this plan is much better than the privatization of the government of the Russian Federation!

It is no wonder that the Tatar government has been able to maintain the stability of domestic prices and the standard of living of the population despite the decline in taxes and exchange rates in the Russian Federation as a whole. This is all the credit of your old leader!" Jia Lei took the opportunity to pat himself on the back and said.

"We have no choice but to do this, and if we learn everything from the Russians, then the economic downturn in Russia will definitely affect the lives of our Tatars.

Even though we've been so cautious, we still can't stop inflation, which has forced me to launch a new token recently. Utarus said with a headache,

"What is that?" asked Jia Lei confusedly.

Since we held an independence referendum in Tatarstan in 92, in order to completely dissociate relations with the Russian Federation, we Tatarstan have issued our own national currency. Utarus said with a wry smile.

"What kind of token do you issue in Tatarstan, can you show me?" asked Jia Lei curiously.

"Yes, I've got a few with me!" Utarus said, pulling out a few coins of different sizes from his wallet and placing them on the table.

"Huh, why aren't these coins marked with the number of money?, so how do I know how much they are?" Jia Lei asked in confusion as he picked up a golden coin.

"These things are not meant to be used for money, but the small copper coin in your hand is worth 1 kilogram of bread, and the large copper coin is worth 10 litres of petrol, and you can take them and exchange them for petrol and bread directly in Tatarstan.

Unfortunately, due to the recent inflation in the Russian Federation, we had to take back the bronze coin with a face value of 10 liters of gasoline and plate it with a layer of nickel, and then appreciate it to become a token of 20 liters of gasoline. Utarus said with a wry smile.

It's not that their country doesn't have banknotes, but because of the depreciation of the ruble and inflation, the exchange rate of banknotes fluctuates too much and is not as useful as these tokens.

"What, according to you, isn't this a food stamp made of coins?" Jia Lei said in surprise, and then he carefully looked at these tokens.

"Uncle, I found that you Tatars are really talented, do you have all the meanings of the pattern on this token?

This one-kilogram bread coin has a wheat pattern printed on it, and the gasoline token has an oil well directly printed on it, even foreigners know what they are used for when they hold this coin!" Jia Lei said admiringly, and then he naturally put these coins in his pocket.

O heaven, O earth!

Jia Lei had never seen a token used by Tatarstan in his previous life, which proves that this thing is extremely rare.

Well, in fact, after the founding of Tatarstan, a total of three tokens were released, and each of them was out of print!

In fact, it is precisely because of the token issuance of this basic material that Tatarstan was able to stand alone in the collapse of the entire Russian Federation ruble, and in more than ten years, instead of being destroyed by shock therapy, it has become one of the developed countries.
