Chapter 767: The Avengers (First Update)
Merger of International Commercial Bank with Capital Savings Agricultural Bank?
Maybe most ordinary people don't understand what this means, but the dozens of people sitting or standing in this room are all elites in the industry, and no one is unaware of all the hidden meanings.
I'm looking for a replacement for the dead.
Vinogradov's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he never got any news. Moreover, he is the controller of the international commercial bank, even if the Ministry of Finance and the Rakshasa Central Bank want to promote the merger, they must obtain their own consent?
Vinogradov turned his head to look at Smolensky, only to see the old rival's serious face.
Chubais paused and continued: "Second, from now on, freeze all of Khodorkovsky's assets in Rakshasa, including Khodorkovsky's stake in Menajet Bank. The president has declared Menajet Bank President Khodorkovsky a traitor who will be wanted worldwide. ”
This news did not surprise everyone at all.
In fact, before the crisis, at least half of the people in the room had a relatively correct estimate of the Rakshasa financial situation. Many people have begun to gradually transfer assets to avoid risk, as long as they complete the transfer of assets, the Rakshasa love will be what it is, and who will really care about the situation of the Rakshasa at that time?
But Khodorkovsky's backlash disrupted everyone's plans, and at least more than half of their assets had not had time to be transferred, and the crisis broke out.
These are all thanks to Khodorkovsky, how can they not hate?
If the International Commercial Bank had done well, Vinogradov might have done the others in favor of Chubais's reading decision, but for now, he really didn't have the leisure to do so.
"Anatoly, let's not mention why I, as the president of an international commercial bank, didn't get any information in advance, and I don't mention whether the Ministry of Finance has the power to lead the merger of private banks, I would like to know, what is the specific plan for the merger you are talking about?"
Chubais glanced at Vinogradov: "It is true that the Ministry of Finance does not have the power to lead the merger of private banks, this is only a proposal made by the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. ”
Vinogradov spread his hands, "Well, advice, then, what exactly is it?"
Chubais's face was grim: "In view of the current grim situation and the state of operation of international commercial banks, the Ministry of Finance proposes that international commercial banks transfer all their operations to the Capital Savings Agricultural Bank. ”
Vinogradov was shocked and said angrily: "You want to take my bank!?Anatoly Chubais, don't think I don't know what you want to do, what benefits did Smolensky give you!?"
Smolensky coughed, and just as he wanted to speak, Chubais pressed down with one hand, signaling him not to interject, glanced coldly at Vinogradov, and spat out a word contemptuously from between his teeth: "Idiot." ”
Vinogradov was furious, he was indeed jealous of Chubais. But after all, he is one of the seven oligarchs of the Rakshasa and the vice president of the Bankers Association, and he thinks that one person is above ten thousand people, and he holds half of the Rakshasa financial industry, even if Yeliqin sees him, he will politely and affectionately call him "Vino".
Now that he has torn his face, he doesn't want to be with Chubais anymore, and just wanted to scold, but saw Chubais throw a folder over him.
"The reserves of international commercial banks have been unable to cover the withdrawal needs of 230,000 depositors, and due to the default of international commercial banks, other banks are also facing runs, according to the central bank's assessment, international commercial banks can no longer operate independently. As a result, the central bank decided to cancel the banking license of international commercial banks. International commercial banks, of course, can refuse to merge, according to the Rakshasa Banking Law, if an international commercial bank goes bankrupt, you need to bear unlimited joint and several liability, Vikdovich Vinogradov, you yourself think about the consequences. ”
After Chubais's words, everyone in the room already understood: Vinogradov is finished.
The banking industry is undoubtedly a franchise-type industry, and it is mandatory to have a banking license to conduct business. Now Chubais's attitude is very clear: if Vinogradov does not hand over the International Commercial Bank to the Capital Savings Agricultural Bank, the International Commercial Bank will undoubtedly go bankrupt without a license. And when the time comes, not only will Vinogradov not get a penny, but he will also be saddled with endless debts, which is really a dead end.
The banking licenses of all private banks in Rakshasa are issued by the central bank, and under normal circumstances, the central bank certainly does not take the risk of triggering a financial crisis to withdraw the license of any private bank. But now that the Rakshasa situation is in danger, the international commercial bank is indeed the most dangerous bank, and the Rakshasa central bank can take back the license of the international commercial bank with any excuse.
Smolensky, the usually inconspicuous financial media oligarchy, is the big winner.
Vinogradov's face was grim, and he trembled and flipped through the folder thrown by Chubais, and the first page was the central bank's decision to cancel the international commercial bank license.
"No, no, honorable Anatoly. Vinogradov's lips trembled, "You can't do that, three to one, no, four to one is also okay, the international commercial bank is a big bank, you can't give me a penny." I want to see the president, yes, I want to see the president! Boris, you help me!" Vinogradov looked at Berezovsky pleadingly.
Berezovsky coughed, pretended not to hear, and sat upright.
Vinogradov's eyes went black and he collapsed to the ground.
"Carry him away. Chubais said to his entourage, and several big men carried Vinogradov out of the conference room.

"Ahh Vinogradov let out a long shout, opened his eyes, and saw that he was already in a private hospital.
"President, are you awake?" the driver of Vinogradov helped him up from his hospital bed. Vinogradov gritted his teeth, "When?"
The driver looked at his watch: "Seven o'clock in the evening." ”
Vinogradov's eyes flashed: "Their meeting is over?"
The driver only promised: "Yes, the news has already aired... ”
Vinogradov snorted coldly, was silent for a long time, and shot a grim look in his eyes, "Prepare the plane and go to Prague." ”
Since you are unkind, I don't need to be righteous.
"Mikhail, I agree to your terms, I will go to Prague tonight, and in any case, I must dismount Chubais!" Vinogradov dialed Khodorkovsky's satellite phone, his face hideous.
This is yesterday's first shift, and tonight I will try to make two more shifts, but it may be after midnight.
