Chapter 108: Crazy robbery
Will the Han Congress not be able to repay the loan? It's a joke!
Where the future changes of the Soviet Union will go, only the leading group of the Han Kingdom knows best. Gorbachev will not know that although the United States is the mastermind, they are not absolutely sure in their hearts.
Gorbachev was followed by Yechin's coming to power, and a capital feast began.
And in this feast, the Han State stood in the most advantageous position to intervene.
Moreover, the feast has not yet begun, and the Han State has already received a thousand tons of gold from the Soviet Union, as well as hundreds of billions of ruble loans.
Even, the path taken by Han is probably much more clever than that of the investors in the United States, and the profits are probably much higher than those of the speculators.
It's not that Han is much smarter than the capitalists in the United States, but that they know the ins and outs of things, and the key is to know the final destination.
In the years after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the financial giants of the United States and the corrupt forces within the former Soviet Union collaborated with each other to loot the national wealth of the former Soviet Union.
Under the so-called financial assistance proposed by the United States, the situation was once absurd to the point that the economist Jeffrey of the United States? Sachs directly helped Yechin revise the presidential decree, and the lawyer Jonathan of the United States? Summers of the Ministry of Finance of the United States even gave detailed instructions on how to formulate and implement economic policy in a letter to Russia's Deputy Minister of Finance.
The condition of the Russian economy is under the "careful care" of many "American experts", and the situation can be imagined. The Soviet Union is willing to accept the help of its old rival, the United States, which is itself ridiculous, and Russia has good intentions to usher in the harshest winter.
The winter of 1991 was unusually harsh for the Russian people, as the Russian economy, which had already suffered heavy blood loss, was wiped out overnight after the "meat grinder" of wealth hyperinflation set in motion by international financiers.
University professors, doctors, military officers, and engineers took to the streets in the bitter cold to sell all sorts of low-priced small goods, some of whom had to beg.
When Gorbachev attended the West Asia peace talks in Madrid in November 1991, he even had to secretly leave the venue early because his Russian delegation could not afford to pay for hotel accommodation.
Both the US government and the CIA have actively intervened in Russia's reform through various forms, tailoring the so-called "500-day plan" for Russia and recommending a large number of reform prescriptions.
The IMF prescribes the direction of "shock therapy" reforms in Russia by providing additional conditions to the loans, and appoints economist Jeffrey ? Saxophone goes to guide and more.
The "500-day plan" is to convert the entire real economy of the former Soviet Union into corresponding negotiable bonds and distribute them to the people, and to turn non-negotiable assets into negotiable assets, thus entering the stage of the so-called "developed capitalist" market economy in one fell swoop.
So the people accepted the bonds without question, and the amount ranged from 10,000 to 20,000 roubles per person.
This is undoubtedly a windfall for every citizen of the former Soviet Union: he still works in the factory, and he becomes a shareholder and owner of the enterprise out of thin air.
Mosca, which is financially undefended, began financial liberalization without preparation and regulation. Freedom also means catastrophe, which is almost uncontrollable.
Through sole proprietorship and joint ventures, financiers have set up a large number of investment banks and commercial banks in the territory of the former Soviet Union.
Including Soros, through various gray means, it absorbed ruble savings at relatively high interest rates and obtained ruble loans from state-owned banks of the former Soviet Union.
Of course, the Han Kingdom will also participate in this life.
Moreover, it has already taken the lead and received a large amount of loans from the Soviet Union.
In the next step, Han Guo also opened a bank in the Soviet Union to solicit savings business.
And when the rubles of Russian depositors and state-owned banks borrowed for the purpose of shorting the ruble were put in place, the "research reports" of the West on a large scale to denigrate the ruble and the former Soviet state-owned enterprises began to flood the international financial circles.
Since those bonds are "state-owned enterprises that have no ability to pay dividends," it is better to sell them in the securities exchange market for cash than to keep them useless, which is a conceivable "good deal."
Eh, the tragic people of the Soviet Union.
Soon the bonds were redistributed through various hidden channels, and the enterprises of the former Soviet Union, and it can be said that the real economy and the mining resources contained in the vast land that the entire former Soviet Union had built for decades, had been completely voluntarily, fairly, and happily sold by the people of the former Soviet Union themselves.
If Russia implements financial control, resolutely tightens monetary policy, cancels the free exchange of rubles and rice dollars, stabilizes the exchange rate, severely cracks down on black market rice dollar transactions, and examines bankruptcy, then Russia's situation at this time is to at least sell all the country's wealth, resources, and land at a good price.
Whoever buys the bonds will face a big headache -- the ruble debt, which is difficult to pay off to buy privatization bonds, and Russia cannot be said to have lost it all.
In 1998, the ruble market quickly collapsed without any suspense, and people threw out every ruble to buy dollars.
At this time, financial experts in the United States made a proposal to Russia: currency reform.
Russia exchanged 1,000 old rubles for 1 new ruble, and then set the exchange rate at 5 new rubles to 1 dollar.
After the implementation of this measure to "effectively stop financial turmoil", the entire old ruble was depreciated to 1/14,000 in real terms.
Up to this point, the result of the implementation of the "500-day privatization plan" was that some international capital looters had bought the wealth accumulated by the people of the former Soviet Union for 70 years - the real economy worth $28 trillion, including the state-owned enterprises, mines, and resources of the whole of Russia, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Wealth turns some oligarchs into new masters of Russia. But their new wealth is mostly held in dollars.
Washington's strategy was to use the financial oligarchy as proxies to control Russia, and these were the original backdrops for President Putin's later crackdown on the economic oligarchy.
The loan term of the Han Kingdom is precisely at the moment when the ruble is the least valuable, with a ratio of 1/14,000, and the loan can be repaid in full with a little rice yuan.
Security can be described as an unprecedented looting of wealth.
The harvest of this looting was even easier and more massive than the wealth that the Han Kingdom acquired from the capital market.
