Chapter 718: Capital Cooperation Across Eras
"What's more serious is that as a currency based on the credit of the former Soviet government, the ruble's banknote masters can now be said to be all over Europe, and if we continue to recognize the old ruble, we are too risky, and it is also extremely difficult to reshape and take over the ruble's credit, unless governments unite to pay for the old ruble, but ......"
Gilderoy Lockhart didn't finish his sentence, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Give up the ruble, the Russian Federation should have its own currency. There is no need for a strong and independent Russia to continue to pay for the laziness and backwardness of the former Soviet Union, it's time for order to return to -"
"That's right, Mr. Lockhart, we agreed early on on this point......"
The new Russian deputy finance minister lifted his glasses and tapped his fingers lightly on the document in front of him.
As early as half a year ago, the in-depth commercial cooperation between the Mandate Group and the Russian government, the Ukrainian government, and the Belarusian government has begun, and the issuance of new currencies has been planned in the past one or two years.
It's just that the capital hot money from the United States and the United Kingdom has greatly advanced the time point when the ruble bubble reached its peak.
Middle-aged officials know very well that if there were no potatoes from the Mandate of Heaven to maintain the ruble exchange rate, the current Russian government would have been in debt and exhausted every day for grain imports - frankly speaking, with the ruble getting weaker and weaker, the Mandate of Heaven has been able to support it until now, in fact, it has far exceeded their expectations.
The only thing that makes them a little hesitant is actually something that has nothing to do with the macro situation, but is extremely important.
After a pause, the middle-aged official glanced at the phone in the center of his desk, and all the conversations that took place in the conference room were transmitted to the Kremlin in Moscow through this special line.
"In fact, there is not much controversy or questioning about your company's proposal to file for bankruptcy reorganization and merge with the former Central Bank of the Soviet Union to form the [G&H proposal of the Central Bank of Russia]. It's just ......"
The middle-aged man looked for words, slowly knocked on the wooden table in front of him, and said meaningfully.
"President Yeltsin also has a concern, although the [redemption coupons] of the potato standard system can allow us to pass the gap between the [old ruble] and the [new currency] relatively smoothly, but because the value of the ruble is instantly zeroed, this will not be too heavy for some hard-working people who are thrifty and have managed to accumulate some assets. ”
No politician would have remembered the glory of the Soviet Union, destroyed the ruble, erased the traces of the behemoth's existence, not even the Mandate of Heaven, the American bankers, and the Russian government itself would have done it.
The changes brought about by the Mandate of Heaven Group just happened to cover up the process of turning the ruble into waste paper.
This can be regarded as a show of sincerity for politicians who have already known everything, taking advantage of the time difference in the past six months, the Russian oligarchs have already hoarded a huge amount of assets in advance to be realized.
Compared with those American bankers who eat people and don't spit out bones, companies like Destiny that focus on agriculture are obviously much safer.
Industrious and thrifty?
Oh - these stupid and insatiable Muggle officials -
Gilderoy Lockhart glanced at the official in front of him in a well-fashioned handmade suit, a trace of inconspicuous contempt flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the smile on his face became even brighter, and he smiled and took out a document that had been prepared from his bosom.
"Oh, don't worry, here are a number of anonymous international currency exchange permits - those who hold these documents can go to the 'cooperative banks' in the documents and convert the assets into corresponding shares of dollars and pounds. ”
"If you're not in a hurry, when the [G&H Central Bank of Russia] was officially reorganized, it was not difficult to add a part of the accounts to the accounts that came from the historical depositors. If my guess is correct, even in this great country, there are not too many people who are thrifty and at the same time accumulate objective assets, right?"
"It's just that the only request from our side is ......"
Lockhart stood up and bowed slightly to the telephone receiver in the center of the desk.
"I hope you can help as soon as possible, don't give Citibank, JPM Bank and other behemoths too much time to evacuate and respond, and at the same time, our group can also provide you with professional tax inspection and audit outsourcing, so as to prevent those smart bankers from the United States from taking the opportunity to default on their loans, or even do something to sabotage ......"
Most of the cards have been played, and the Destiny Group has only some Muggle currency left in its hands, except for potatoes.
According to Elena's previous sandbox deduction process, the Yeltsin government will choose to cooperate with them at least 95% of the time after it has been relieved of its worries: the unchanged trajectory of later history has proven that even American capitalists with more demanding conditions will choose to compromise - and this cooperation method is obviously much better today.
Victory in a simple financial war is meaningless, especially in this kind of negative-sum game.
For Elena, no matter how terrible the economic losses and precious regeneration abilities of Eagle Sauce and the elves of the Americas have suffered, they are all meaningless gifts, and her purpose has always been the same.
When this ruin is at its emptiest, it becomes the voice that rebuilds the economic and social order.
Unless the Americans, or the wizards of the former Soviet Union, conjure up enough potato reserves to feed billions of people, and use dollars, gold gallons, and other currencies to vouch for the crumbling ruble at any cost, no one is her opponent.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, the difference is only in the time and form of payment.
The outcome of this financial war has been determined in advance since the opening of the first "Destiny Group Potato Retail Store" in Moscow half a year ago, when the greedy CIS government and the arrogant foreign capitalists allowed the potatoes to form the closest bond with the ruble exchange rate in order to divide up the former Soviet assets.
Right now...... The rest is just a little bit of a logical division of interests.
After waiting for a while, there was a murmur in the microphone in the center of the desk, followed by a powerful, deep man's voice, which was the reply of the country's current supreme ruler.
As Elena expected, it wasn't such a difficult choice.
Having made sure that their property would not suffer as a result, and having studied the two proposals in detail again, the Yeltsin government did not hesitate for long and gave their final answer with great readiness:
"Within this week, the old ruble will be completely stopped from payment and production, according to the advice of relevant economists, the securities market in Russia will temporarily stop trading, [G&H Central Bank of Russia] will issue a new currency from now on, and each new currency can go to the potato shop jointly controlled by the Russian government and the Mandate of Heaven Group to exchange a specified number of potatoes. ”
"As a central bank that exists independently of the government, the Russian government will give claims to the [G&H Central Bank of Russia] against future fiscal revenues, and after purchasing the debts, the bank will issue a corresponding amount of new currency or provide potatoes of equivalent value according to actual needs to be used for payment and social circulation ......"
"The police system will cooperate with the tax inspection and audit work of the Mandate Group, and those greedy bankers who promise high interest will need to pay the price for it, and become the security backing of the Mandate Group. ”
"The Providence Group will always be a friend of the Russian people, to hell with the Yankees!"
