Chapter 463
However, smuggling arms is to make money, but compared to the financial field, it is just a drizzle, at first Ye Laosi was just a little fuss in the financial field, first, he was a newcomer, and secondly, after all, there are some laymen, and there are really not many people who understand this.
It's just that Lao Maozi is playing a loophole in the bad exchange rate, but after getting acquainted with Cheng Shigui, a financial crocodile, the two joined forces and began to make waves in the financial field.
If Ye Laosi wants to do whatever he wants, he must do everything he wants, that is, on the one hand, he must grasp the existing bureaucratic class, because these people are likely to become a new magnate in the Soviet Union at the moment of power reshuffling. On the other hand, for the emerging, but still relatively weak, "radical" figures.
Under Fang Monan's reminder, Ye Laosi attracted great attention. Although these people now belong to the minority and occupy a weak position in the circle of power struggle, they are not without a chance of success, and the most important thing is that the "radicals" are now facing oppression from all sides in the Soviet Union, and they themselves are in great difficulty. Cheng Shigui suggested that Ye Laosi could establish close ties with those foreign banks that were the first to enter the Soviet Union, and that by taking advantage of his high-level connections in the Soviet Union, he could borrow large sums of rubles from the central bank. In the name of supporting third world countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, Ye Laosi lent a large amount of money from the central bank, converted it into US dollars, and entered the international market, especially the Japanese market. Make waves. Later, during the Gulf War, he first went long in oil futures, and then went short on the backhand, and he won a big victory, for which he had abundant funds in his hands, and if he had money, he was rich and could do more things. Also in response to the imminent depreciation of the ruble, Cheng Shigui suggested that Ye Laosi might as well use the government resources at his disposal to set up a venture capital fund that can absorb idle funds in society, or even under the protection of local governments. Start a private bank directly. In the current Soviet Union, venture capital funds are very rare, and the deposit interest rate of banks is also pitifully low, according to Cheng Shigui's expectations, if Ye Laosi can really set up a venture capital fund or a bank. And at the initial stage, open to investors and savers a higher rate of return, then it will not be difficult to absorb a huge amount of ruble currency in the short term. When this step is in place, the company can sell the huge ruble currency invested by investors and depositors and buy the dollar currency, which continues to strengthen, and wait for the ruble to depreciate.
These Ye Laosi are already handling it, and they will be able to make the trip soon, this is simply a transaction without capital, tens of thousands. During the period of following Cheng Shigui, Ye Laosi gained a new understanding of finance. On a large scale. The initial depreciation of the ruble will never attract attention, and it is only when there is real chaos in the country and the value of the ruble has plummeted to a certain level that people will panic and throw away their ruble deposits and exchange them for dollars. And whether it's a venture capital fund, or a private high-interest bank. It is impossible to bear the risk of depreciation of depositors' deposits, so it is between this in and out, with the depreciation of the ruble. The company will make a staggering profit from the difference between the price before and after the currency exchange. It's no different from picking up money.
It turns out that money can still be made like this, Ye Laosi is really taught.
However, with the division of Georgia and other republics, the complex contradictions that had been hidden in the Soviet Union for decades will suddenly burst out in a short period of time, and the tremendous energy generated by this eruption effect will be enough to destroy the entire superstructure of the Soviet Union, which was already crumbling. The collapse of a country's power structure is not a joke, it will bring about a series of chain reactions, such as economic downturn, currency depreciation, reshuffling of power, etc., all of which will occur one by one. And in such an environment of great changes in the times, Ye Laosi can let go of his hands and feet, and now is really his golden age. What is the collusion between officials and businessmen, he interpreted this sentence vividly, and tied all the people to his chariot with interests, and the form is - club.
Just choosing to cling to the powerful will never get a sense of security, because in that case, Ye Laosi will always be a card in someone else's hand, a doll. For Ye Laosi, only he is the best player to play chess, but he doesn't want to be a chess piece, and if he is a chess piece, he will become an outcast one day. On the contrary, he wants others to be his pawns, and he is the chess player.
military independence to deter the Quartet; the independence of the supervisory power to safeguard integrity; the independence of the judiciary to ensure the impartiality of the judiciary; Government administration is subject to supervision and judicial constraints, but on the contrary, it restricts the monopoly of military power, supervision and justice with finance. Whether it is a state with a separation of powers or a state with four powers, it relies on this kind of interlocking constraints to achieve a balance of state power. Now, the establishment of this underground club at the initiative of Ye Laosi is tantamount to breaking this check and balance of power in one fell swoop, and the club has brought together the powers of the four parties, and in a way of member consultation, it has appeased the emotions of the local garrisons, blinded the eyes of the supervision and judicial departments, and given fertile soil for the administrative organs to manipulate public power in the dark -- to put it bluntly, this club is the umbrella of power that lies between Moscow and the localities. It can be said that from the moment Ye Laosi founded the club, it is a chilling existence, it has a strong vitality, with a more powerful corrosiveness, because of this, in just three months after the establishment of the club, the number of members has expanded from the original dozen to more than 200 people in one fell swoop, and the power has spread throughout the Far East. For the new officials of any department in the Far East, they must make a choice at the beginning of their tenure: either join the club and become a member, or they do not want to do anything in office, and even in a very short time, they will be stripped of all power, or worse, they will die.
In the past few years in the Soviet Union, Ye Laosi found that in the current territory of the Soviet Union, people are not only eating profits, but also these old hairs with pale complexion and a lot of hair on their chests will also "eat people". In such a place where the weak eat the strong, and the losers cannot retain even the most basic human dignity, the so-called conscience is the stumbling block of the successful and the booster of the loser.
The reality is so bloody that there is no warmth, but Lao Maozi's xenophobia from his bones is enough to make people shudder. This person has the nature of self-preservation, as the saying goes: I'd rather bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me, it is better for others to die than to die by myself, so Ye Laosi not only has to earn money, but also has the ability to protect himself. That is, constantly looking for a stronger backing and stepping on more ships. And to achieve this goal, he needs more money and more wealth, so for the current Ye Laosi, he has nothing, just a lot of money.
Ye Laosi is not a fool, and he will not be blacked out for others, he can see it now, this is a group of moths and rats, wantonly hollowing out all the property of the people of the country, can he not be careful? However, Ye Laosi only annexed what he was interested in, and he did not move when it came to people's livelihood. However, he also knows that if he doesn't move, it doesn't mean that others don't move, but this out of sight is pure, so that his conscience is a little better, and the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. This may be the reason why Ye Laosi was able to advance and retreat freely and calmly.
Ye Laosi was really interested in the heavy industry of the Soviet Union, and just before he returned to China, he had already received the outline of the military-commercial cooperation plan of the Far Eastern Military Region, and all the military-industrial enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Far Eastern Military Region would gradually throw off the control of the local government and turn to military-commercial joint ventures. According to the detailed rules of the trial measures within the military region, the first batch of military industrial enterprises that are open to cooperation with private businessmen are mainly the four major military industrial enterprises in the border region: iron and steel plants, cable factories, shipyards, and diesel engine factories in the Far East. These four enterprises are relatively large projects within the Far Eastern Military District, and the steel plant, for example, is the largest in the Far East, and even in the territory of the entire Soviet Union, its annual steel output is in the forefront. According to Susikhov's introduction, the Soviet army is currently preparing to equip the power unit of the Mi-28 "Havoc" all-weather armed helicopter, and the "TV3-117" 2230 shaft horsepower high-power engine, a considerable part of which is produced by this diesel engine plant. What the military region means is that in this joint venture between military and commercial enterprises, the military will cede the sales rights of several military factories to the cooperative businessmen, and these powers were either in the hands of the army itself, or in the hands of the military trade bureau or foreign trade companies. Obviously, dealing with the Arms Trade Bureau and foreign trade companies, whether it is a military factory or the military, will not get any ready-made benefits, and these military factories are tantamount to working for the government for nothing. Now the army wants to "rebel," they want to resist the government's power, and they want to find a way out for their own existence, so the military region headquarters must first get these sales rights in their hands and subcontract them to businessmen like Ye Laosi who are generous and have the ability to sell, and then get their due part of the funds from the hands of these businessmen.
It is obvious that for Ye Laosi, the corruption that began at the grassroots level in the Soviet army has spread to the top, and this is an opportunity that he has been waiting for for four years, and it is no problem for him to eat up these military industries with the cash in his hand, a piece of cake. The key is sales, he can't buy the steel back to China, so the quality of the steel will be cheap, will impact the domestic market. Then the market becomes the biggest problem. (To be continued.) )
