Jia Lei looked at the long queue at the door of the bank to exchange rubles and couldn't help but sigh, the Soviet government's hand is actually quite useful, even second-hand dealers like them have been forced away, and those financial predators must have lost more.

Jia Lei plans to fly from Moscow to country M this time, on the one hand, to hold a shareholder meeting, and on the other hand, to bring his team with him.

After all, it's really inconvenient to not have a team!

"Say it, besides the fact that your bank's stock price has fallen again, what other bad news?" Jia Lei asked by throwing himself on the sofa.

"Boss, why are you wearing such a suit?" asked Pete.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Jia Lei asked, knowing that he deliberately wore a down jacket in order to keep warm.

"It's too cheap!" said Pete with disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business!" Jia Lei interrupted him.

"We have an interim board of directors for investment, and we have already talked to the Kuwaiti government about the fact that they are willing to become our new shareholders, but they are ......," Pete said, quietly.

"But they are so unlucky, they are in time to fight at this critical time!" Jia Lei said as he played with an apple.

"Yes!" said Pete.

"Then what are you looking for me for?" asked Jia Lei.

"Our chairman asked, do you still want to invest?" Pete said quickly.

"I don't want to, young master, I'm poor now! I don't have any money!" Jia Lei said without hesitation.

"But you have stocks. Pete said quickly.

"What if I have stocks? I'm definitely not going to sell my money-making stocks and invest in you money-losing goods. Jia Lei said.

"Don't you really have to look at it? We're Citibank......" Pete began to talk about Citibank's past glory again.

"Don't say it, I've invested enough money in you!" Jia Lei said.

"But if Citibank fails, your money will be lost. Pete said.

"It's almost the same as playing a bucket now, when I bought it, the stock price was about 12 yuan, and now it has fallen to 8 yuan. Jia Lei said angrily.

"I'm sorry!" said Pete.

"I know you're trying to get my Cisco stock, but I'm not going to sell it. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he took a bite of the apple,

"No! Cisco's stock is growing well, and as a professional I'm not going to let you sell it, we just want you to invest in Citi with a mortgage!"

"Loan?That's a good idea, but I want to know when Cisco will pay me dividends?" Jia asked.

Loans have to pay interest, and Jia Lei now thinks that it is actually okay to pay a little interest! After all, the opportunity is rare, and he will definitely be able to double his money by taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Cisco does not pay dividends, basically all high-tech companies do not pay cash dividends for rapid development, Microsoft just gives stocks as dividends, and Cisco is the same. Pete said.

"It seems that I can only take out a loan!" Jia Lei said with a long sigh.

"Really, would you like to continue to invest in Citibank?" said Pete happily.

"It's beautiful! I'm about to pick up the rags in your Citibank, and I won't vote for you if I have money!" Jia Lei threw away the apple core after speaking, and then took off the down jacket on his body, and the clothes inside leaked out.

"Look, look! I've been so miserable, now I'm going to pick up the rubbish. I'm going to mortgage my Beverly Hills villa and start a rag recycling company in the future. Jia Lei said as he stretched the sleeve of the Northeast blue floral handmade cotton jacket on his body.

Jia Lei is wearing a blue floral cotton jacket on his upper body, and a pair of black velvet pants on his lower body, he really looks like a poor man picking up rags, no way! My aunt's aesthetics are still in the small town style of the eighteenth-tier countryside in the Northeast in the early 90s, and Jia Lei and Su Renfeng have love cotton clothes, and Russia is too cold...... It's just right to put on a padded jacket under it.

"You're a billionaire! You're going to collect the rags? What kind of international jokes!" said Pete incredulously.

"I'm not kidding! Jia Lei said with a serious face, Pete looked at him for a long time before he believed that he really wanted to open a rag recycling company.

"You're the boss, if you want! I wish your tattered company a prosperous business. Pete could only praise Jia Lei stubbornly.

"You're wrong, it's not my rag company, it's our rag company...... Because I'm going to open a company this time, I'm going to take you with me. Jia Lei said.

"We ...... Who do we have?" Pete asked nervously.

"You, Daddy Farr, Ethan, plus an asset appraiser!" Jia Lei said, snapping his fingers.

"Aren't you going to collect the rags, what are you going to do with an appraiser?" asked Pete.

"I heard that country D is being privatized, and many companies have gone bankrupt and auctioned because of the recession, so I want to pick up a few broken companies. Jia Lei said, Pete couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat!

"It's okay! So you want to go bankrupt, I really thought you were going to pick up the rags. Pete said nervously.

"Buying companies is just by the way, picking up rags is my main business. Jia Lei said with great certainty.

"What ...... you say?" said Pete.

Jia Lei was determined to go to Germany to pick up the scraps this time, and he even asked Farr to register a second-hand recycling company in West Germany, which is the advanced version of the scrap recycling station.

"I'm going to set up three companies now, Goldstone Investment Bank, Blackstone Industrial Company and Baishi Second-hand Goods Recycling Company. The procedures are handled by you, and each company has a registered capital of 5 million US dollars. Jia Lei said.

"Where does the registered capital come from?" Farr asked, and his lawyer should be in charge of the registration of the company.

"I asked Pete to help me with my mortgage. Jia Lei said that anyway, the house is mortgaged and the rental will not be delayed.

"Our bank has been very strict with mortgage contract cards recently, and I'm afraid you won't be able to borrow so much money for your house. Fall said.

"I didn't take out a loan from your Citibank, I sent Pete to Credit Suisse. I'm a shareholder of Citi, and I can't help in this crisis, but I don't mess up, and I know that Citi's cash flow is tight. Jia Lei took a sip of tea and said.

"Is it appropriate for Pete to be a Citi employee?" asked Richard, the new appraiser.

"Mr. Richard, I would like you to note that Pete represents my financial advisor first and then the employees of Citibank, and this is what I want you to do, knowing that I don't spend so much of my advisor fees every year. Jia Lei said that he felt that if this Richard still couldn't figure out who the boss was, he should consider a replacement.

"I'm sorry, it's me who overstepped!" Richard quickly apologized, now that the banking industry is in a recession, layoffs are everywhere, and if customers complain about him, Richard will also be laid off.

"Ding!" the doorbell rang, Farr hurried to open the door, Jia Lei's Manhattan apartment was still not rented, because Jia Lei felt that living in his own home was cheaper than a hotel.

"My boss, it's nice to see you again!" a man walked in.

"This is your new colleague, my personal assistant! Jia Lei raised his hand and pointed to the person who came to introduce the advisory group.

My name is Novan, I am from the Federal Republic of Germany, graduated from the Department of Finance of New York University in Country M, and will officially serve as Mr. Jia Lei's personal assistant from today. Novan said.

Jia Lei cooperated with him once last year, and agreed with Novan that when his seat fee on the exchange expired, Jia Lei hired him to continue to work as a trader and personal assistant for him.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's talk about our destination! We are going to the newly unified country D, Mr. Novan's hometown, he will be the best guide!" Jia Lei said, as for Pete, who didn't come?

Jia Lei feels that Pete is short-sighted in investment, compared to his own gold finger investment, Pitt is more suitable for the task of the public relations department, Citibank also thinks so, so Pete has been staying in the public relations department of Citibank!

After the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR on 2 July 1990, the two sides agreed on a plan for the realization of a monetary merger, which provided for the unified circulation of the market and the recovery of the DM of the GDR at an official exchange rate of 2:1 (i.e. 2 DM of the GDR to 1 DM of the Federal Republic of Germany).

However, the wages, salaries and pensions of employees of the former democratic country D can be exchanged for the federal country D mark at a ratio of 1:1.

Personal savings deposits can be exchanged for DM 4,000 per person on a 1:1 basis (DM 6,000 for people over 60 years old and DM 2,000 for children under 14 years old).

The above things are more professional, to put it simply, the original East German mark was replaced by the West German mark, and the exchange ratio was 2 East German marks for 1 West German mark, but there is a problem here, the original black market exchange rate of the East German mark and the West German mark was 1 West German mark to more than 7 East German marks, so the forced merger of the East German mark is equivalent to four times the price inflation immediately!

Coupled with the fact that the original wages were converted at a ratio of 1:1, in fact, the wages of East Germans immediately doubled.

As soon as the Berlin Wall was demolished, countless East Germans poured into West Germany, and on the other hand, countless industrial products produced by West Germany poured into East Germany.

In 1990, China's industrial level lagged behind the world for at least 30 years, even the industrial products eliminated by West Germany were advanced technology products for China, Jia Lei wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the collapse of the Soviet Union to get something good back from under the noses of Westerners, and Westerners were strict with all kinds of advanced technologies and finished products.

Country M took the lead in implementing a technical blockade of China, but Germany has neither joined the EU nor joined NATO, Jia Lei can make a time difference and get the waste items and even garbage that Europeans dislike back to China.

Jia Lei's first meow is a car from East Germany, this car is a famous brand in East Germany, strong and durable, but the technology is a bit outdated, this classic car on the road not only has an exhaust content exceeding the standard (West German standard) and the speed is slow, but it can't stand it cheap?

Jia Lei had seen it in the Museum of Country D when he traveled in his last life, and according to the tour guide, this car could be bought with only a few West German marks after the merger of the two Germanys!

At that time, Jia Lei sighed with countless tourists in the tour group, and everyone thought that it would be great if they could come to Germany in 1991 to buy a car!

In 1991, the exchange rate of the mark against the US dollar was 1.447 marks per US dollar, and the exchange rate of the renminbi against the US dollar was 1 US dollar to 5.3 yuan.

In other words, you can buy a car in Germany for less than 35 yuan!

That's why Jia Lei named his second-hand recycling company Baishi (pick)!
