Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Sky Stealing Plan
Who are the richest people on the planet?
Undoubtedly, it is obviously not the group of people who are discharged from Forbes every year, let alone the rich people who are "praised and flattered" by the media all day long.
The real rich people are those who hide behind the scenes of this world, such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Rothschild, DuPont, Mitsubishi, and so on.
However, it seems that these families and consortia that control the world are not the richest people in the world, but the richest people in the legend.
Leo Vantaa, many people may not have heard of this name, but this man is probably the richest man in the world.
Even Bill Gates, once the so-called "richest man in the world", is estimated to have less than a fraction of his wealth, because legend has it that Leo Vantaa has a huge fortune of nearly $30 trillion.
Many people may wonder how Leo Vantaa managed to amass this huge fortune? Knowing that Leo Vantaa is not from one of those old families, he is just a former American intelligence agent.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about a shocking plan, that is, the "Vantaa Project" that has been rumored to be miraculous.
To put it bluntly, the "Vantaa Plan" was the largest of the many financial wars waged by the United States against its old rival the Soviet Union during the "Cold War." The specific operator of this plan was Leo Vantaa, President Ronald Reagan's most trusted expert on financial warfare, and a senior official of the US Treasury Department, the CIA, and the FBI.
The whole "Vantaa Plan" was simple, buying rubles on the black market and laundering them through associates in the Soviet system. At the same time, Vantaa is aggressively shorting gold in the financial markets.
From the 80s until the collapse of the Soviet Union, Leo Vantaa used this "great ruble scam" to remove tens of trillions of dollars of wealth from the Soviet treasury, and also fed a large number of Russian "financial oligarchs" by the way.
The Vantaa Plan was one of the many straws that crushed the sick camel of the Soviet Union, which kicked the Soviet Union into the abyss while emptying out the vast wealth that the Soviet Union had spent 70 years accumulating.
Of course, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, such a large amount of "war spoils" naturally became the focus of the dispute between Leo Vantaa and the US government.
Speaking of which, there will definitely be a lot of viewers who want to scold the author for being really unscrupulous, isn't this copying and pasting the "Du Niang Encyclopedia" to make up the number of words? This is a bit wronged by the author, and Su Chenyu said that he had something to say about it......
Su Chenyu sat on the second floor of the villa, staring at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, listening to the laughter coming from the dance party in the hall downstairs, and couldn't help but think of the awesome Uncle Vantaa again.
In his previous life, he had always felt that Uncle Vantaa and the "Vantaa Project" were nothing more than legends. However, after seeing the actual situation inside the Soviet Union, he felt that this was really not a legend, but a real event hidden in the night.
"Light rain, Mr. Ivan is outside the door. Su Yong came in and interrupted Su Chenyu's thoughts.
"Please come in, Mr. Ivan. ”
After Su Yong went out, he immediately came in again, but this time he brought in a middle-aged man who was not confused. Su Yong introduced very politely: "Mr. Ivan, this is my boss, Mr. Su Chenyu. ”
The Russian man named Ivan looked at Su Chenyu, who was a little young and unspeakable, and looked at Su Yong with suspicion, as if asking if he had made a mistake.
"Mr. Ivan, please be seated, and there is no need to be surprised or suspicious. I am indeed Su's behind-the-scenes boss, and Su Yong will seriously implement all the conversations and agreements between us in the future. Su Chenyu explained with a smile, it was really troublesome to be too young.
Ivan looked at Su Yong, who nodded in agreement, before slowly relieving himself, and then said, "Mr. Su Chenyu, please forgive me for being disrespectful, you are too young. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's get down to business, shall we?" Su Chenyu waved his hand, accepting Ivan's apology.
When Su Yong heard Su Chenyu say this, he automatically retreated, and then stood at the door to prevent others from approaching.
"Mr. Ivan should be regarded as a young man in the financial field of the Soviet Union, right? At such a young age, he is already the vice president of the National Bank, and his future is bright. Su Chenyu picked up a folder on the table, and then said: "And Mr. Ivan not only has such achievements in his career, but he is also proud in the love field." ”
"Tsk, look at these photos and they're really good. ”
After Su Chenyu took a few photos and looked left and right, he threw them on the table very casually, then stood up and looked at Ivan face to face and said, "Mr. Ivan, what do you think will happen if these photos appear on the newspaper, or on the table of the head of the KGB?"
Ivan, who had just been proud, instantly turned pale and sweated profusely after catching a glimpse of the photo on the table, and said tremblingly: "You...... You...... Want to do ...... What?"
"Don't get me wrong, these were taken when my unsuccessful henchmen were bored. If Mr. Ivan doesn't like his jade photos to be seen by others, I can destroy them right away. Su Chenyu tore up a photo as he spoke.
Ivan obviously didn't believe the words of the harmless "demon" in front of him, so he pretended to be calm and said, "What is your purpose?"
"There is no purpose, Mr. Ivan has taken a lot of benefits from me for more than a year, I just want Mr. Ivan to do me a little favor. Su Chenyu tore up all the photos, picked up a lighter and lit all the fragments, looked at the burning flames and said: "It's all a little thing, I believe that for a young man like Mr. Ivan, it is completely handy." Of course, I will definitely have a generous gift afterwards. ”
As soon as Ivan heard that Su Chenyu was going to ask him to do something, his heart that had been mentioned slowly relaxed, he knew that the other party had spent so much effort to win him over, and he would definitely not let himself be ruined. However, since the other party is looking for his own affairs, he can obviously open a bigger bargaining chip and obtain greater benefits.
"I don't know if there's anything I can help with?" said Ivan, straightening his suit and wiping the sweat from his head.
"Mr. Ivan is in charge of loans and foreign exchange at the National Bank, so he just needs to sign some of the approvals. Su Chenyu lay on the table and looked at Ivan opposite and said.
Ivan obviously knew the trick in this, and he didn't break it, but after a little hesitation, he said: "Of course this is no problem, but there are still many difficulties in approving a large number of large-amount loan projects and exchange projects, and the risks are very high." ”
Su Chenyu stared at Ivan for a while, and then sneered. Ivan saw Su Chenyu's appearance, and hurriedly made up for it: "But I will still try my best to do it." ”
"Mr. Ivan, please rest assured, as long as you sign, there will be other people to help you carry the following things, and you will definitely not be involved. Su Chenyu stood up from his chair, pointed at Ivan and said, "And I will also help you, Ivan Bondarev ascended to the position of president of the National Bank." ”
"Really?"
Ivan got up from the couch in excitement.
"Of course. Su Chenyu took out a paper bag from the drawer, then walked around to Ivan and handed it to him and said, "Here is a Swiss gold watch, as well as a passbook from a Swiss bank, a small greeting gift." As long as you do things well for me, I can guarantee that you will not only prosper in office, but also make you one of the richest people in the country. But if some people don't know how to do it, the consequences ......"
"No problem at all, don't worry, I will definitely take care of what you have explained. Ivan simply interrupted Su Chenyu's words and said.
"Good, not bad. Su Chenyu patted Ivan on the shoulder and said.
Obviously, this money-greedy and lustful Mr. Ivan has officially boarded Su Chenyu's "thief ship", but the huge plan he has planned is obviously impossible to be just this chess piece.
Since last year, Goetz has reformed the banking system of the Soviet Union, dividing it into a state bank and five specialized banks - the Bank of Industry and Construction, the Bank of Agriculture and Industry, the Bank of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, the Bank of Housing and Public Utilities and Social Development, and the Bank of Labor Savings and Residents' Credit.
Su Chenyu's plan for the entire Soviet financial sector obviously cannot bypass these six state-owned banks, and the National Bank, of which Ivan is the deputy governor, is the most important chess piece.
There is no doubt that the other five state-owned banks are also five chess pieces that cannot be bypassed in the entire chess game, so Su Chenyu is bound to win this.
For these high-ranking Soviet officials who no longer have faith, Su Chenyu's method is very simple - radish and stick, dollar with cannon.
These Soviet officials were able to accept money and co-optation many times in less than two years, and they were obviously unwilling to lose the power in their hands, let alone the glory and wealth they are now experiencing.
So in the following hours, Su Chenyu separately "met" with the "moles" hiding in the other five state-owned banks. Of course, the final result was very satisfying, and the five big "moles" were all packed up and obeyed.
In '89, the official exchange rate of the Soviet ruble against the dollar was about 0.6 rubles per dollar, while the exchange rate on the black market reached an outrageous rate of 1 dollar to more than 20 rubles. In other words, there is a price difference of more than 20 times, which is a huge benefit.
The situation at that time was that a large amount of money could be lent from the bank with the signature of the competent officer of the Soviet state-owned bank. The holes in these loans can only be repaid with rubles bought on the black market, which are then converted from the bank into dollars. The whole plan is completely empty gloves white wolf, and it doesn't even require much capital to carry out.
Su Chenyu named this plan "Sky Stealing Plan", and he wanted to secretly grab a piece of the sky from the financial field of the Soviet Union in the dark.
Although this plan was very tightly arranged from front to back, there was another point that troubled Su Chenyu very much, that is, how to launder these huge amounts of wealth.
Su Chenyu doesn't have the luxury of taking tens of trillions of dollars from the Soviet Union like Uncle Vantaa, he just hopes to get a trillion dollars before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
But even a trillion is a shocking fortune, and it can't be deposited in the bank, otherwise the result is likely to be like Uncle Vantaa - he has to fight a lawsuit with Uncle Sam, and even his life cannot be guaranteed.
Even Swiss banks, which promise the most secrecy, are not a safe place, and the point is that the amount is so huge that everyone has to look at it, and it is estimated that even the Rothschilds have to salivate.
However, Su Chenyu had already thought of a solution, that is, the long-planned finishing link of the "Sky Stealing Plan......
