Xia Fatzi really only suffered a skin injury this time, and he was fine after three days in the hospital, during which the Chinese masters in Moscow came to see him with gifts.

Although the hospital's sick meal is nutritious and free, Xia Fat still likes the gifts brought to him by his fellow villagers, not only himself, but also the medical staff and patients in the hospital.

Because this kind of ordinary public hospital is full of poor people, the medical staff and patients here have nothing to eat except for the free meals provided by the hospital, and Huaxia is very generous, and when he came to visit the patient, he also brought all kinds of fruits and nutritional products, which were distributed to everyone by Xia Fatzi.

"Doctor, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you when I have time in the future!" said to the doctor reluctantly, and then he reluctantly gave the doctor, the beautiful nurse Daisy next to him, a hug.

"Xia, we're all going to miss you!" said Daisy tightly, leaning around the neck of the fat man.

"Huh, is there a situation? When did the two of them get better? Xia Fatzi has only been in for 3 days!" Jia Lei asked in disbelief when he saw this scene.

"There are more men and fewer women in E country, and women are very open to love, and many of them will find someone to partner with. A man like Xia Fatzi, who is rich and has a good figure, is especially popular!" Kerr explained to Jia Lei.

"What are you talking about, Fat Xia has a good figure? Are you just kidding?" Jia Lei said speechlessly.

"Xia's figure is very good, the average Chinese man is too thin, I don't like it! Daisy winked at Jia Lei and said.

"Oh! Sure enough, every fat man is a potential stock, and the fat man Xia has a good day...... Jia Lei said speechlessly.

Xia Fatzi got the favor of the beauty, and he was even more energetic when he started his work, Jia Lei watched him do the business of the wholesale stall prosperously, and the turnover was thirty or forty thousand US dollars a day.

"I think if Fat Xia continues like this, he will make more money than I sell luxury goods!" Jia Lei said as he stood in his brand-name store and looked at the bill.

"Boss, aren't you kidding? Our store is one of the few brand-name stores in Moscow, with a daily turnover of up to $1 million, and the profit alone is ten times that of Mr. Xia. Pete said.

"What about high profits, you know that I didn't open this store to sell clothes, bags, and cosmetics, how about your business?"

"It went well, I had become friends with the rich ladies and ladies who came to the department store to buy luxury goods, and I got to know their husbands and family by the way. I've found the Mikhail Khodorkovsky you're looking for, and he's glad to accept your invitation!" said Pete.

"Well, you can set the time for tomorrow night! I'm going to invite him to dinner at the best hotel in Moscow." Jia Lei thought about it and said.

Jia Lei is still looking forward to the future richest man of E Ross, after all, he is one of the seven oligarchs of E Ross.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky!" Jia Lei greeted the future richest man in Russia warmly.

"I'm also glad to meet you, Mr. Jia Lei, is there anything you are looking for me?" asked Mikhail.

"I have heard that you are a brilliant banker, and that you have even started a bank called Menajet, and coincidentally, I have also opened a bank. I think we can work together?" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Now there are so many foreign banks in Moscow, and there are also many banks run by Russian natives like me, why did you come to me? What benefits can I get from cooperating with you?" Mikhail asked sharply, he didn't believe Jia Lei.

"Do you want to know what the benefits of working with me are? I can tell you that I not only have a private bank but also a $500 million investment fund. In addition to the financial industry, I also own a number of foreign trade companies, which are located in different countries, all of which have foreign trade export rights and foreign exchange cash. I think these dollars should be the most popular in E Ross, which is in urgent need of foreign exchange, right?" Jia Lei asked with a smile.

"Do you mean to say that you can help me exchange the rubles in my hand for dollars?" asked Mikhail with immediate interest.

"Of course! I can help you remit foreign dollars to your bank account in the name of a foreign trade company, and I can also help you exchange ruble assets into dollars and deposit them in foreign banks. In this way, you will be able to get rid of the two big troubles of the difficulty of exchanging foreign currency and the depreciation of the ruble! After all, the dollar is not a rare thing in country M, and I can have as much as I want!" Jia Lei said meaningfully.

"Even if the dollar is not particularly rare in country M, you can't just have as many as you want, right?

"In addition to the $500 million fund I mentioned above, I have a lot of properties in country M, and I can use them to get a bank mortgage at any time. Actually, I am a shareholder of Citibank in Country M, and I can get enough dollars from any bank! Your bank is not large, and I estimate that there is enough liquidity of 100 million US dollars!" Jia Lei said lightly, and then took out his Citibank business card and handed it over.

"You said you could help me exchange $100 million in liquidity? Is this true?" Mikhail was immediately moved when he heard this, and he excitedly picked up the business card on the table and asked.

You must know that although his Menajet Bank is running well, he also has a large amount of ruble deposits in his hands. But the ruble exchange rate always depreciates, and any business that wants to exchange the ruble for dollars includes private banks.

At this time, Russia is taking the first step in the privatization of the whole population, the privatization of cash!

Prior to July 1, 1992, there were two main forms of the Russian ruble, one in cash and the other in non-cash credit rubles.

Cash rubles are very scarce, and under the planned economy of the former Soviet Union, cash could only be used for specific purposes, such as paying workers.

At that time, most of the profits of all factories and enterprises were deposited in bank accounts in the form of cash credit rubles, which enterprises were not allowed to use, and they could see but could not touch it!

The value of such inaccessible cash deposits is only one-tenth of the cash ruble on the black market, and one of the personal deposits of Russian residents belongs to this cash credit ruble.

Under previous Russian law, ruble deposits of such cash could not be converted into cash through formal channels, but after the privatization of cash began on July 1, the money could be withdrawn at will.

Mikhail, who has an extensive network of contacts in Moscow and many corporate and factory accounts, now urgently needs a way to exchange non-cash credit for cash rubles.

And this cash is preferably dollar cash!

For Mikhail, Jia Lei's arrival was as timely as drowsiness meeting a pillow.

"You won't help me in vain, will you?" asked Mikhail.

"In addition to the cooperation between our two banks, I would like to invest 10 million dollars to acquire a 10% stake in the Meinajet financial institution in your hands. Note that I am talking about the shares of all the financial institutions under your control, not just the shares of Menajet Bank. Jia Lei said.

"You know that my bank is not worth so much money right now, although there is a lot of ruble cash in the bank, but it is all depositors'. Why do you give me so much money?" asked Mikhail.

"Although the shares of the bank are not worth so much money, your connections are worth it! I am very confident in your connections and abilities, and I believe that in a few years my investment will be worth the money. Jia Lei said with a smile.

Mikhail's fortune skyrocketed on the basis of privatization a few months later, and the reborn Jia Lei certainly did not worry that his investment would lose money.

As long as you can guarantee that the rubles in my hand can be converted into dollars at any time, I can guarantee that your investment will not lose money. Mikhail thought for a moment and said.

"I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Jia Lei said happily.

"I hope we have a good time working together!" said Mikhail, who was equally pleased.

Russia had a well-known group of seven oligarchs, who, through their financial institutions, bought up Russia's most valuable assets, including various mining and oil companies, through a years-long privatization process.

Jia Lei used a channel for them to exchange dollars and foreign exchange as a condition, and became a partner of these oligarchs, and then Jia Lei obtained 10% of the company's shares under the names of six of the oligarchs at different amounts, and became the "man" behind the Eross oligarchy, and quietly participated in the privatization of the profiteering division.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Lei is not the only one who has done this, Jia Lei met the international financial predator Soros when he invested in the United Export-Import Bank of Potanin, another oligarch in Russia, and this unknown investment bank in Jia Lei's hands is certainly not as good as Soros.

So Jia Lei could only regret the defeat and give up Potanin, you must know that Jia Lei's investment routine is completely copying the classic case of Soros's investment in Potanin in his previous life.

And Potanin is the only survivor of the Russian oligarchy after 30 years!

He is the only oligarch who has not been overthrown by the Emperor!

****

These things are said quickly but done very slowly, and before you know it, the time has come to the end of July, Jia Lei was reading his investment report in the hotel that day, and his door was knocked, Jia Lei opened the door and saw Shen Ning standing outside him with a group of people.

"Why are you free to come to me today? Come on in. Jia Lei greeted him warmly.

"No, we still have important things to do, so we won't go in. Shen Ning shook his head and said.

"Oh, what do you have to do?" asked Jia Lei.

"I want to borrow some money from you?" Shen Ning said embarrassedly.

"How much do you want to borrow?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.

"I want to borrow 10 million rubles from you, okay?" Shen Ning said embarrassedly.
