Chapter 67: The Rising Tide Lifts All Boats! Jia Lei can finally raise his eyebrows!
"In fact, what the state is afraid of has not been losing money, but that the newly established government of the Russian Federation will not be able to hold on, resulting in the invalidation of the ruble issued by them, so the state has not traded with the Russian ruble for the past two years. Governor Guo replied with a smile that in fact, the ruble had indeed been abolished.
Yes, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, China and Russia have been bartering for the original, and Huaxia does not accept Russian rubles in international transactions at all.
"But even if the ruble will not be invalidated now, it will still lose money, you are here to open a bank now, is there any difference between now and before?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.
"There's nothing to hide from this anyway, so I'll just tell you directly. In fact, for the country, the political significance of opening a bank abroad is far greater than the economic significance.
Our country has recently made many transactions with Moscow, and there are always one or two transactions that are not suitable for foreign banks, so we must have a bank of our own in Moscow.
Although the ruble exchange rate in Russia has been unstable recently, its political environment has begun to stabilize, so they can't wait for me to open a branch in Moscow. Governor Guo Jia Lei explained.
"When the political environment becomes stable, it will be opened! What Elder Wang said to me before that he was afraid of losing money by opening a bank in Moscow turned out to be fooling me? At that time, they were just afraid that the Yeltsin government would turn the ruble into waste paper after it collapsed, so they didn't open a bank in Moscow?" Jia Lei asked with wide eyes, he felt that he had been deceived.
"Hmm...... But we went to Moscow to open a bank this time for the convenience of Chinese merchants.
Recently, it has been often reported in the domestic newspapers that a Chinese businessman was robbed and killed in Moscow, and after our bank opens, we Chinese people will be able to remit money directly from Moscow and return to China, so that it will be safe. President Guo said with a smile.
"How many robberies did Chinese businessmen encounter in Moscow in the past two years, and if I hadn't been doing foreign exchange for a while, I would have suppressed the idea that Muscovites felt that Chinese people always carried cash with them, and I am afraid that more people would have died.
You were afraid to take risks and not come out, but now you feel that the situation is stable and you are coming out again. Since the above control of the situation is so accurate, then what are you still looking for me?" Jia Lei asked unhappily, sure enough, everything in Huaxia is for political services.
No one has ever cared about the life or death of those small businessmen......
"I had no choice but to come to you! I know a lot about the political situation and the financial industry, but I don't have any contacts in the financial industry in Moscow when I first arrived.
There are now more than 2,000 banks in Moscow, large and small, each of which operates in a different direction. Our bank came too late, and the better business couldn't be intervened at all.
Before I came to Moscow, the situation in Moscow was discussed by domestic experts, and we found that the most important thing was to open a bank network in Moscow.
For example, a while ago, the old version of the ruble was abolished, the Russian government has imposed on many foreign banks the exchange quota of old currency, and many Western financiers who took the opportunity to hoard a large number of rubles to speculate in foreign exchange have suffered a lot of losses.
But your small investment bank is an exception, not only was it able to get the news in advance that it would no longer accept the old ruble, but it was also able to exchange all the old rubles in its inventory for the new rubles through the largest banks in Moscow.
This ability is not available to ordinary people, and we need your help to integrate into the financial community of Moscow as soon as possible!
Now the biggest distress for our banks is that the exchange rate in Moscow is changing too fast!
Let me give you an example, when we came, we happened to encounter this Black Thursday ruble depreciation, the Russian ruble lost 25% of its value overnight, and the ruble more than doubled against the dollar in less than 10 days, and many banks that did not have time to exchange dollars lost a lot overnight.
We found that in Moscow, if we can't get in touch with the government or the big banks, we're going to lose a lot of money, so we're going to ask you to help us get a line and find a few partners. President Guo said with a wry smile.
"It's okay for you to let me tell you the news occasionally, but you don't want me to introduce my allies to you, everyone runs a bank to invest, how can we be considered competitors, why should I introduce my connections to you?" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.
"How can we be considered competitors? Didn't we just invest in the real estate project of Oriental Plaza together recently, we should have been partners for a long time, right?" asked President Guo with a smile.
Jia Lei glanced at him when he heard this, and he couldn't even use this kind of relationship that couldn't be beaten, it seems that the above is really anxious about opening a bank in Moscow!
"I didn't think about it if you didn't mention Oriental Plaza, I heard that the recent shareholders of this project have changed two, and you Bank X seems to be planning to enter the game, it seems that this matter is really not a rumor?" Jia Lei asked him.
"Of course, this is not a rumor, we have already begun to take over a part of the shares of the Oriental Plaza project!" replied President Guo.
"I'm just curious, now that most of the problems in the development of the Oriental Plaza project have been solved, who would be so stupid to take the initiative to give up the golden job bowl that is about to be obtained?
"It is a normal business practice for us to take over the shares of Oriental Plaza, and it is not a peach picking. Chang'an Avenue is a royal street after all, and the state will not let it completely get out of control and be controlled by foreign capital no matter what. President Guo said.
"I can understand the painstaking efforts of the above! But I'm afraid, when I build the Oriental Plaza almost completely, will there be such normal business practices? I don't like to be picked the most peaches, and I will definitely not sell the shares of the Oriental Plaza project!" Jia Lei asked with a smile.
"How can there be such a thing? The shares and projects of Oriental Plaza are all yours, and if you don't want to sell them, no one will force you?" replied President Guo, and then he took a sip of his teacup and bowed his head.
"How could this happen? Oriental Plaza is destined to be a golden job bowl with daily income in the future, and there are not too many people in the capital who are red-eyed. I hope you can promise me on behalf of the above that there will be no one to pick peaches, otherwise there will be no need to talk about this cooperation between us. Jia Lei said.
"I can't do such a big thing, and who can predict what will happen in the future. Jia Lei, I hope you don't play a child's temper for personal interests, the state opening a bank in Moscow is a big deal, and you should fully assist us. President Guo looked at Jia Lei with a headache and said that he really couldn't agree to this condition.
If Oriental Plaza really makes a lot of money, there will definitely be people who are jealous, and there may be more than one person who will make a move, and he is a little person who doesn't dare to care.
"I've always liked to care about my personal interests, and if I can't make this promise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Jia Lei said.
"Jia Lei, as a Chinese person, you shouldn't talk about conditions with the country, you should do everything you can to help the country. If you do this, Wang Lao and the people above will be very disappointed!" Zhang Wenwang said with a frown as he looked at Jia Lei.
"I'm a businessman, and I'm the most important thing about equivalent exchange! If you can't show enough sincerity to exchange, then don't ask me about opening a bank.
By the way, in order to thank President Guo for the meal you invited me to eat and show my patriotism, I can give you an important piece of news for free!" Jia Lei said and stood up.
"What's the important news?" Zhang Wenwang asked anxiously.
"Go back and tell the higher-ups that they are going to go to Kazan to build an embassy! Don't forget to send me an invitation when the embassy is built, I am still half a landlord in Tatarstan, and I will leave first if I have something to do." After Jia Lei finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Let the country prepare to build an embassy in Kashan?" what does Jia Lei mean by that?" President Guo repeated with a frown.
"Isn't it true that embassies can only be established in countries with independent sovereignty......? Could it be that Jia Lei meant to ......" King Zhang Wen also began to think about Jia Lei's words.
"Tatarstan is really going to be stated!"
"Tatarstan is really going to be independent!"
The two men said at the same time, and then they looked at each other in shock.
"This ...... This can't be, right? Tatarstan is located in the heart of Russia, and it is surrounded by the land of the Russian Federation, and how can it become independent like this?" asked President Guo in disbelief.
"I also don't believe that Tatarstan can really establish a state, you must know that Tatarstan is only a day's journey from Moscow, how can Moscow allow such a large armed force to become independent? Isn't that a knife in one's own heart?" Zhang Wenwang also frowned and said.
"That's the truth! I don't know where Jia Lei got this astonishing news from? How true is it? Should we report this news or not?" President Guo said in great distress.
"You wait...... , you just mentioned Jia Lei's source, which reminds me of an important thing, Jia Lei's uncle seems to be one of the leaders of the Tatarstan army.
If Jia Lei's news came from his uncle, I'm afraid this matter would be true!" Zhang Wenwang pondered.
"If it's true that Tatarstan is going to become independent, then it's worth it for my meal!" said President Guo with a wry smile.
Tatarstan has not yet officially declared its independence, and if our country expresses its support for their independence at this time, it will be like a blessing in disguise, and Tatarstan will certainly be grateful to us for doing so. Zhang Wenwang analyzed.
"But I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, Jia Lei's tone of voice seems to be a little strange when he leaves? Is he really trying to help us instead of trying to deceive us?" said President Guo with some suspicion.
"Jia Lei is a very smart person, he will never tear his face with the government for the sake of arrogance, so this news is definitely not fake.
As for his strange tone at the end, I guess it might be a warning and a show-off to us, right?" Zhang Wenwang said with a smile in his eyes.
"Show off! Does Tatarstan's independence have anything to do with him? Why does he want to show off?" asked President Guo puzzled.
"Tatarstan's independence is not only related to Jia Lei, but also has a great relationship! Didn't I just say it? Jia Lei's uncle is a general in Tatarstan, and if Tatarstan really becomes that independent country, then Jia Lei will have a country to support him in the future.
At that time, whoever in the capital wants to fight the idea of Oriental Plaza again, I'm afraid they will have to weigh it carefully!
In the past, Jia Lei was only supported and sheltered by Wang Lao in the capital, so he occasionally had to suffer a loss and give up some benefits.
But once Jia Lei's uncle really grasps the power of Tatarstan, the country will never let people bully Jia Lei again for the sake of the interests between the two countries and diplomatic relations. Zhang Wenwang analyzed.
"But there are so many well-known generals in Russia, and Jia Lei's uncle is not a famous person, how can he control the right to speak in a country?"
Jia Lei's uncle is at most in the top 20 among the generals in the entire Russian Federation, but the crux of the matter is that his family controls more than half of Tatarstan's army.
Yeltsin did not even make any concessions in the face of the CPSU, but now he has made concessions to Tatarstan, and he is willing to let Tatarstan become independent under his nose, which shows that the Tatars are very powerful.
The military power of the Tatarstan Autonomous State is second only to that of the Russian nation in the entire Russian Federation, and it is not certain who will win in a real fight!" Zhang Wenwang said.
"But there will always be a change of power, Jia Lei is now such a blatant warning to us, is he not afraid that after his uncle retires, no one will support him and be retaliated against?" asked President Guo.
"He's not afraid! Didn't you hear Jia Lei say that he belonged to half the master in Tatarstan, this is true.
No matter how the rights of other people in Tatarstan are changing, his uncle's family is always at the pinnacle of power in Tatarstan, a position determined by blood, and no one can shake it. Zhang Wenwang said with a wry smile.
"Bloodline?Is the bloodline of Jia Lei's uncle's family very powerful? This is all in modern society, will anyone still talk about bloodline?" asked President Guo in disbelief.
"If it is an ordinary family, of course it will not care about the bloodline, but Jia Lei's uncle's family belongs to the descendants of the Golden Family, and it is the bloodline of the few remaining Golden Families in the world.
At that time, Genghis Khan's prestige in Eurasia was all over the world, so even in modern society, the bloodline of the Golden Family is still one of the most noble bloodlines in Eurasia, and they are the real noble bloodline.
Even if Jia Lei's uncle is only a collateral bloodline of the Golden Family, their family will be respected by the Tatars at any time, and the longer this bloodline is passed on, the more noble it becomes.
In the past, the Tatars had been pressed under the Russians, and naturally they could not pursue and establish the symbol of their own country, but once the Tatars established themselves independently, then the blood of the Golden Family was the symbol and glory of their place in the world.
Jia Lei has more or less the same blood as them, and he can indeed be half a master in Tatarstan!" Zhang Wenwang said with a wry smile.
"It seems that this time others really don't want to fight the idea of Oriental Plaza again, at least we can't fight the idea of those shares in Jia Lei's hands anymore. Governor Guo said clearly.
It is said that after Jia Lei was reborn, he carefully endured it for so many years, and this time he can finally raise his eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, power is a good thing! Bloodline is also a good thing!
