Chapter 516: Vantaa welcomes you to join
A man with a Mediterranean haircut was waiting in the office, and when Alice strode in, he immediately got up and said, "Hello, Miss Wang, the contemptible Leo Vantaa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Alice looked at Monica, who was waiting, "You go out first." ”
Looking at Monica's distant figure, Leo Vantaa perfectly bared her eight teeth: "Why does Miss Wang have to be so outside, that's your secretary, right?"
Alice didn't answer his question right away, but just looked straight at the man.
Leo Vantaa.
"Because the program is wrong. She beckoned to the reception sofa, and then no longer looked at Vantaa, and sat down on her own: "Your Excellency, President of Ameri-China Global Management Company, your export trade business is completely out of line with me, even if the Changjiang Group is laying out in Los Angeles, you should directly find Mr. Li Zeju, not me." ”
Seeing Leo Vantaa sitting across from her, Alice continued: "So your arrival today is certainly not an ordinary business, right? I am also a person with a little network in the military and political circles, and although your other identity is not known to many outsiders, I can guess it somewhat." ”
Since she can take the initiative to find the door, Alice knows what kind of mind he has, not to mention that many things are indeed not unmentionable secrets for people who have reached a certain height. As soon as he came on the field, he immediately asked the secretary to avoid suspicion, which is tantamount to telling the other party that he is a knowledgeable person.
Sure enough, seeing Alice so straight to the point, Leo Vantaa's eight-toothed smile was even more perfect. Nor touching the teacup that Monica had offered earlier, he focused only on the conversation.
"As a shareholder of Lockheed, you rarely appear in Maryland in person, but your help in the design of the YF-22 as a technical advisor has always been seen by everyone who cares. Miss Wang, getting straight to the point is indeed a comparative way of talking, so I'll just say it bluntly, are you interested in making a big investment in the Soviet Union?"
Sure enough, it was this issue, but the other party did not reveal all his secrets, if it weren't for Alice's familiarity with Leo Vantaa's name, I was afraid that he wouldn't even say this at his first meeting today.
Leo Vantaa, President Reagan's most trusted expert on financial warfare, was a senior official in the U.S. Treasury Department, the CIA, and the FBI. Throughout the eighties, Vantaa was directly commissioned by President Reagan to engage in a secret financial war aimed at subverting the Soviet ruble. In the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he and other high-ranking experts on the financial war of the United States collaborated with corrupt forces within the former Soviet Union to loot the national wealth of the former Soviet Union.
Truth and rumor are always mixed with each other, especially in this day and age. Thinking that those photos of UFO incidents and supernatural exorcisms that were once sensational are only a dozen years away from the information age, and only thirty or fifty years away, it seems as ridiculous as superstition many centuries ago. The difference between rationality and impulsiveness, anecdotes and grotesqueness, is only that the youth of the 21st century know how to tweet 24x7.
Vantaa's team, of course, could not have been so powerful as to loot the entire $28 trillion wealth of the Soviet Union in a matter of years – as many of the irresponsible rumors of later generations were. This is not only a matter of team ability, but also that it is impossible to do this kind of thing from the United States, just as many Chinese Internet writers who are not long-thinking like to let the protagonist take tens of billions of dollars as pocket money at every turn - it completely ignores the objective existence of the world economic level and the laws of operation.
But to say that during this period, the US government did nothing, and the capitalists behind the state did nothing, it would be a big joke to say that during this period.
The Vantaa Plan was at best a little bit of leverage for the impending disaster of the Soviet Union, and the core of its establishment was to maximize the interests of the wealthy.
"Soviet Union, ......" was fully aware of the stakes, and with Alice's thoughtful smile, it suddenly made Vantaa, who had traveled thousands of miles from Nevada, relax most of his hanging heart.
"Then Mr. Vantaa," so in an instant, the baton of discourse leadership went directly to Alice: "Since you talked about investment opportunities, then I have to trouble you to analyze what Gorbachev will do before the end of this year and next year?"
Leo Vantaa helped his wide-rimmed glasses.
"In business, the only thing I can analyze is his economic measures. ”
Vantaa spoke slowly, and with every word he spoke, he looked at Alice with blazing eyes.
The seventeen-year-old wonder girl, the little genius that President Reagan praised at the White House before his retirement, President Bush also showed quite strong emotions whenever he saw news about her in the newspapers. Without mentioning any other achievements, this girl is obviously very politically conscious, and there is nothing wrong with pulling her in matters in the Soviet sphere.
Seeing her at this moment, Vantaa was even more convinced of his conjecture. can live in such a skyscraper at such a young age, with real ability, she is by no means easier to deal with than any old fritter in the political and business circles. She looked at her, and she looked at herself, without fear, worry, panic, curiosity, or any other emotion that could make her fall into a depression, but rather a brighter gaze that Vantaa could not bear.
"Miss Wang, in fact, this is the case. ”
Taking a deep breath, Vantaa unconsciously changed his previous imposing posture and said to Alice like a subordinate: "Gorbachev opened the precedent of the Soviet Union's market economy, which is an unprecedented change he made in order to save the increasingly sluggish Soviet economy. But you should also know that the industrial system of the USSR was completely deformed?"
Alice knew exactly where Vantaa wanted to lead the topic, and she answered it very appropriately: "Heavy industry and military industry are developed, but light industry and people's livelihood are backward, so even if the market economy is opened, it will only be a bunch of bubbles without enough products." ”
As expected, Vantaa's eyes lit up instantly, but he was completely on point.
"It is in this way that the more Gorbachev reformed, the more it led to the collective collapse of the Soviet economy. The political situation in Czechoslovakia has become turbulent, and they have historically hoped that they would be independent, and it would not take a few months to set off a revolution. The assassination of Archduke Fernandi back then could set off a world war, and I believe you should be able to think of a lot of what a country's revolution will bring, right?"
Looking at Vantaa's expectant gaze, Alice felt the urge to caress her forehead speechlessly.
She was fully in line with Vantaa's train of thought, but how could this capable man divert the topic from the sidetrack?
"Political turmoil, a financial bubble based on a deformed industrial system, it seems that Mr. Vantaa wants to introduce me to the ruble?"
I couldn't help it, and Alice directly pointed out the words for Vantaa.
"It's Alice Wang! Your investment vision is unmatched! You are a person who can make a lot of money in the stock market crash the year before!" This is all money, of course, the White House can't take too much taxpayers' money to pan for gold in the financial market, it all needs to be approached by his vantaa chaebols. Now it seems that this one has clearly succeeded!?
Alice chuckled: "I know that Wall Street has recently opened a lot of banks in Moscow and St. Petersburg, hoarding rubles and giving bonds to the people. If one day the ruble really plummets, the profit-making capitalists will be able to buy up the heavy industrial products and factories that flooded the Soviet Union at extremely low prices. It's no secret, I know a little bit about economics, I'm an MBA, I have more than ten years of global investment experience, and then I got to the level of tens of millions of annual salaries on Wall Street...... Haha, anyone can see it. ”
This example shows how many ordinary people are blocked from the threshold by stacking up one level after another. As long as the authority is in hand, no secret is a secret, and seeing that Alice has picked up her words to this extent, Vantaa naturally has no worries.
"The American Chinese specialize in foreign trade and have recently gained a lot of contacts within the Soviet Union through Gorbachev's reforms. We all believe that the collapse of the Soviet Union is already a matter of time, so I wonder which products of the Soviet Union are very interested in Miss Wang?"
The question was not answered immediately, and Vantaa did not expect Alice to reply immediately, nor did he turn around and walk away after chatting, but waited indifferently for the other party's contemplation to end.
"You know, I'm in debt. There was a moment of silence, and then Alice said slowly: "The rapid completion of the Alice Building immediately owed me a loan of four billion dollars to Citibank, and I am too busy to repay the money now, so why do you think that I still have the energy to invest in the Soviet Union?"
This is to get Vantaa to take the initiative to throw more chips. Now it is the other party who takes the initiative to find herself, not how much she really covets the property of the Soviet Union, although she can get a lot of it, of course, but she is a person who walks the technical stream, and her thirst for heavy industrial products and even oil and gas resources has a limit.
"Well...... this" Of course, Vantaa also knew Alice's intentions, and let his side throw more chips, not impossible, but no one can be completely willing.
"I'm very optimistic about Miss Wang's risk tolerance. ”
Well, I actually slapped a sycophant!
"A seventeen-year-old billionaire who has been on the Forbes top 100 in five years, who would question her ability to repay her credit?"
Well, this sycophant is really fragrant!
