Chapter 164: The Fifth Bank
Li Cuilan's voice came out of the backpack: "What's so beautiful about this home." Besides, is this yours? "Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, even female ghosts like Li Cuilan have learned badly.
Moscow is a world-famous big city, and this villa is said to be on the outskirts of Moscow, but it is actually far from the city. Fortunately, these two people have the strength and are not afraid to go far.
After walking about five or six kilometers, there is a villa area in front of it. Zhang Qiusheng turned around. Li Mantun doesn't understand, you kid don't take the big road, what are you doing in it?
Zhang Qiusheng did not answer Li Mantun's complaints, and made a sneaky inquiry next to a villa, and swaggered to the door of the villa after making sure that there was no one nearby. He pretended to fiddle with the lock and opened the door. The two of them dodged into the house, and then quickly closed the door.
Zhang Qiusheng said to Li Mantun at this time: "Borrow the phone to call." Pay for a payphone, don't you? We have to learn to live a good life, and if we can save, we have to save. ”
Li Mantun is accustomed to Zhang Qiusheng's obviously serious things, and he has to go to the evil to talk about virtue. He knew that when he came to speculate on foreign exchange this time, Zhang Qiusheng did not plan to obtain the approval for using foreign exchange through normal channels. So they were all careful not to leave any traces of their coming.
In a small café near Pushkin Square, Zhang Qiusheng met with Qiao Wenhua, who was sent by China Airlines. Qiao Wenhua is the person in charge of this project, and he is accompanied by a team of five people.
Qiao Wenhua is an American, whose original name is Nick Jonas. Qiao Wenhua is the Chinese name he gave himself after joining China Airlines. His five-member team was almost the Coalition of Five Nations, and in addition to Qiao Wenhua, who was an American, there were also Malays, Singaporeans, Japanese, and a German. This also shows that China Airlines is a large international company.
Qiao Wenhua gave a general account of the current situation in the Soviet Union. On the first day of this month, Ukraine, which has the second largest population and economic power in the Soviet Union, has agreed to independence in a referendum. On the 8th, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus signed the "Commonwealth of Independent States" agreement with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, announcing that the Soviet Union, as a subject of international law, and geopolitical reality were ceased. More than a dozen countries are in the process of joining the Commonwealth of Independent States.
In short, the Soviet Union has existed in name only politically, and economically it still adheres to the planned economy by inertia. In this context, we can see that the Soviet Union was in fact leaderless and in chaos.
Qiao Wenhua and the others have already made preliminary preparations, and what they need most now is to use the remittance approval document. And the approval of the use of remittances is only in the hands of a few oligarchs. All Zhang Qiusheng had to do was to get the approval, and leave the rest of the work to Qiao Wenhua and them to do.
Qiao Wenhua strengthened Zhang Qiusheng's confidence and said: "Zhang, don't feel sorry for the Soviet Union. It is the richest country in the world, and if there is no one, it is the richest. Whether a country is rich or not depends not on how many foreign exchange reserves it has, but on how many resources and minerals it has. The Soviet Union is undoubtedly the country with the most resources and minerals in the world. His current shortage of commodities and the drying up of foreign exchange are all temporary. It's all the result of their corrupt, rotten, stupid bureaucracy. The Soviet Union, a political zombie, has sucked enough of the blood of fraternal countries, and its demise is a good thing for the Soviet people. ”
Zhang Qiusheng was not interested in politics, he only knew that in Blagoveshchensk, Ah Ren was almost beaten to death for no reason, although it was most likely that Ah Ren was beaten by a hooligan or a mafia there.
If there were no special means, Ah Ren would definitely die. Okay, people were beaten by you, now take some money out and compensate.
Qiao Wenhua's five-member team did a very detailed job, and he handed Zhang Qiusheng a file bag containing information on various bank oligarchs, including photos. There is also a stack of application forms for the use of foreign exchange, which have all been completed and are signed and approved by the highest chief. According to the procedures of the banking institutions of the Soviet Union, there must be an application form for the use of foreign exchange signed by the head of the bank, and then an approval document for the use of foreign exchange must be prepared according to this application form, and then a bill of exchange must be issued according to the approval document, and finally a bill for the exchange of foreign exchange must be issued.
Qiao Wenhua was afraid that Zhang Qiusheng would not understand Russian, so he deliberately used a piece of paper to compare the addresses of each bank in Russian and English.
Zhang Qiusheng looked at this Russian-British comparison table and found that the Fifth Bank of China was next to it. He plans to start with this one and try it first. I have a big headache at the moment. Although Qiao Wenhua said that as long as he got the president's signature, they would do the rest. But these governors are not relatives with him, so it is impossible for them to sign obediently, so they can only use compound brain fragments to make them confused before signing. The problem is that it takes a process to get the signed application form for foreign exchange and go through other procedures, and the president will definitely come to his senses in this process. In this way, not only will the application for the use of foreign exchange be declared invalid, but it may also cause big trouble, such as financial fraud or something.
Zhang Qiusheng explained the situation to Qiao Wenhua. He only told Qiao Wenhua that he might use some special means, but he didn't say what the means were. Even Li Mantun doesn't know about this, let alone others?
Qiao Wenhua was not surprised at all by Zhang Qiusheng's special methods, nor did he ask what kind of means they were. It seems that the company's top management has already told him the truth, otherwise he would not treat a middle school student like Zhang Qiusheng, who is obviously too young, to be an adult.
The two discussed it, and they still wanted to do it. What will happen later, more on that later. Moscow is now a paradise for adventurers, and high returns mean high risks. In addition, the two will never see each other like this again. A qiē contact by phone, the phone number should also be changed frequently. Qiao Wenhua also assured that he would not reveal Zhang Qiusheng's situation to the rest of the group of five.
Zhang Qiusheng asked Qiao Wenhua to wait in this café for a while, and he went to the Fifth Bank to take a look at the situation.
In the vicinity of the Fifth Bank, Zhang Qiusheng looked around. Li Mantun was asked to guard a street intersection, and asked him to hold on for two minutes if he found that Soviet internal troops were coming.
Li Mantun didn't understand the intention of this move, and Zhang Qiusheng fooled him and said: "I'm tossing inside, and I don't dare to guarantee that I won't alarm the bank guards." I'm not afraid of the security guards, I'm afraid they'll call the police. All you have to do is hold on here for two minutes, and I'll be able to get out. "Zhang Qiusheng's main purpose is not to let anyone know that his compound brain is crippled, which is too weird and easy to be misunderstood as evil magic.
Zhang Qiusheng took out the phalanx bone from his backpack and said, "Cuilan, you and Lao Li are staying here." Under normal circumstances, you don't want to come out, if Lao Li's life is in danger, please save his life. ”
Being made by Zhang Qiusheng like this, Li Mantun couldn't help but get nervous. Zhang Qiusheng said to him: "Lao Li, no matter what happens, don't move. Unless a large number of military police are coming, you only need to hold out for two minutes. Remember, run after two minutes and leave me alone. We met at the villa. ”
Zhang Qiusheng walked to the back of the Fifth Bank, Li Mantun thought he wanted to enter through the back door, but he didn't think about other problems. When Zhang Qiusheng waited for Li Mantun to be out of sight, no one around made a stealth trick, and then swaggered into the Fifth Bank from the main entrance.
This is the headquarters of the Fifth Bank, and the heavily armed guards are very strict with those who want to enter. Maybe it's an extraordinary time, and it's normal for the guards to be strict.
The Fifth Bank is a twelve-storey building. According to the information, the president's office is on the 11th floor. Zhang Qiusheng didn't take the elevator and climbed to the eleventh floor in one go. The advanced bathroom took out the application form for the use of foreign exchange from the Fifth Bank and took a closer look. Then carefully count the series of zeros on the exchange quota column, and know that this is 20 million.
It's hard to make a trip to make 20 million, is it worth it? Gotta change this application form to 200 million! Alabai knew the numbers at a glance, and used a word opening trick to align with the string of numbers, and then blew on it, and the numbers on it completely disappeared, as if they had never been written. The capitalization bar is a bit troublesome, he doesn't know Russian. Fortunately, there is a dollar sign on it, and this recognition is probably a capital column. In the same way, the gourd eliminates the words on it.
The problem is again, the number of Alabis is easy to say, and adding eight zeros after the word two is. But how to write 200 million in Russian, Zhang Qiusheng doesn't know. Anyway, just take it to the president and see what he says.
President Nikolai Ryukarevsky sat behind his large desk, as usual. But the mood was not as calm as usual. There are excitement and troubles. What is exciting is the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar for a while, due to the huge difference between the official exchange rate and the black market price. He used the right to approve foreign exchange in his hand to make a lot of money. The annoyance is that the Soviet Union may be disintegrating, and the governor does not know where to go. The savings have all been transferred abroad, and my wife and children are also abroad. He couldn't decide when he would leave. It's a pity to go early, and it's a pity to give up such a fat shortage. If you're late, can you walk late?
Thinking about the deposits in foreign banks that could not be spent for several lifetimes, President Nikolai Ryukarevsky was torn between a dilemma and hesitated. In the event of the collapse of the Soviet Union, will there be a liquidation of these corrupt elements? It is not an exaggeration to shoot him several times based on the amount of money he embezzled and bribed. But if the Soviets had survived this, such a good position would never have been found again. This position is not only about money, but more importantly about power. It's a wonderful feeling to be in power, it's so much better than a waist.
Governor Nikolai Ryukarevsky suddenly felt the light dim in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw a young man sitting in a chair opposite him. This young man, so young that he can almost be said to be underage, cannot be considered a man in the strict sense of the word, can only be said to be a boy.
But President Nikolai Lyukarevsky had no doubt that it was a man sitting in front of him, not a big boy. Because he sensed that there was a temperament in this man. Yes, it is a temperament, a temperament in which the power is in the hands of life and death. A temperament that has been tempered by the fire of war and crawled out of the pile of the dead.
