Chapter 0658: Shock Therapy

'Shock therapy' is a medical term. It is a forcible electric shock to a psychopath with severe agitation, severe depression, resistance, stubbornness, and nervousness. This would have been a very effective treatment.

A so-called economist in the United States has engaged in a set of economic reform methods that are 'drastic medicine'. Liberalization, privatization, the government does not care, everything is decided by the market.

To put it bluntly, it is to let capital sing the leading role. Because these economic measures are so drastic, they will inevitably lead to social unrest, also known as 'shock therapy'.

By the way, there are as many economists in Europe and the United States as dogs, and economic theories with nonsense are flying all over the sky, most of them are liars who praise each other. Believe in them and die quickly.

'Shock therapy' was successful in the small South American country of Bolivia, so the Western world blew this economic method into the sky, and even recommended it to the drunkard president of the big hair.

The 'drunkard' didn't know if he was crazy or really stupid, but he actually believed it.

In terms of area, Bolivia has almost 1.1 million square kilometers. But in terms of population, it had less than seven million people in the eighties. Western countries can help stabilize the situation with a small amount of money.

But Damao has a population of hundreds of millions, a vast territory, and extremely complex political and economic conditions. It is impossible to manage such a large country by ignoring anything.

The alliance collapsed, people panicked, and society was in extreme turmoil. Fools know that they should rest and recuperate instead of taking drastic medicine, but the 'drunkards' think that as long as they 'shock' and let the capitalists call the shots, the economy will improve in half a year.

How does this kind of person's brain grow?

I really feel chilled for the people of the Da Mao family. The country has reached a point where it is miserable, and it has encountered this kind of again.

At the end of '91, a thirty-five-year-old guy named 'Gaidar' was in charge of implementing 'shock therapy' - how could the word 'Gaidar' sound so familiar? It seems to have been seen somewhere.

This shock is over.

Throughout the nineties, Da Mao fell into an extremely dark and chaotic situation. If you want to think of something unexpected, they have it all in their family. There are many things that I dare not write in the script, but they just happen.

Including, but not limited to:

Prices are soaring, materials are in short supply, production is stagnant, unemployment is widespread, residents' savings are in vain, state-owned assets are sold at a low price, enterprises are bankrupt on a large scale, oligarchs control the lifeblood of the economy, and life expectancy is declining.

Specific data, Da Mao began to 'shock' at the beginning of 91, and the price of consumer goods rose sixty-five times in April, with an annual inflation of 2510.

By 95, prices were 90 times higher than in 1700.

Throughout the 90s, the ruble depreciated 20,000 times, which was almost comparable to the 'Golden Yuan Bill'. This waste paper is too hard to wipe the buttocks.

It really collapsed like the sky was falling apart. In this economic environment, how can ordinary people live?

If it weren't for Ermao, a more bizarre guy, Da Mao would be the 'global miserable champion' - other people's miserable family is limited in strength. The misery of the two brothers was entirely their own death.

At this moment, 'Gaidar' has been pushed to the position by the 'drunkard' and is ready to start 'shocking'. The public opinion of the Da Mao family is ready to preach all day long that freedom and a happy life are coming.

In the sauna, Mao Mei described the content and measures of economic reform to Zhou Qingfeng, and mentioned that Western countries would contribute money to help Da Mao. The moment she talks about the West, her eyes light up.

Da Mao is so eager to become a Western country. This is a deep imprint engraved by Peter I from the moment their state was founded. Even thirty years after the collapse of the Union, they are still the same.

If you can't change it, you can't stop it, so if you want to die, you can die. Anyway, I'm here to take advantage, and it's good for me to mess up a little - Zhou Qingfeng sighed, I don't want to do it so much, let's wash and sleep.

In the last days of December '91, Zhou Qingfeng was busy opening a branch in Moscow. With the help of Deputy Minister Chuikov, he went to a research institute in the east of the city to rent an office.

The entire research institute covers an area of hundreds of acres, dozens of buildings, and the address is called 'Aero Engine Street', which originally belonged to the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

Most of the buildings in the courtyard are from the thirties and forties, thick and heavy, and the floors are not high. 'Holy Light' rented three buildings, and the monthly rent was only 5,000 US dollars, which was really cheap.

The entrance of the institute is still a column-like design, and the walls of the internal office are hung with portraits of the leaders of the Da Mao family. The original office supplies have not been moved, and there are still many model airplanes in the display cases in the corridor.

The institute had no government funding last year, and its heating was stopped for half a month. In Moscow in winter, walking into an office is like walking into a freezer.

The rent given by the 'Holy Light' was immediately paid for by the heating bills in the hospital.

Zhou Qingfeng personally sat down, recruited elites from the bureaucratic system of the original alliance, and hired more than 300 people to form a branch in one go, which was responsible for the business of 'Holy Light' in Da Mao's family.

The average salary is only one or two hundred dollars, which is quite cheap.

Employees include transportation, warehousing, purchasing, sales, PR and more. Mao Mei, named Katya, successfully served as the branch manager. But she failed to replace Lin Wan, but was under Lin Wan's control.

As the first overseas branch of 'Shengguang', Zhou Qingfeng attaches great importance to it. Da Mao will be an important dumping market for the group, and he will come once a month in the future to make sure that there is no chaos.

Domestically produced light industrial products will be transported to St. Petersburg by large fast freighters, and the heavy industrial equipment and products of the Da Mao family will also be transported back by sea.

As long as the supply of goods is large enough, a special fast route can be established, and the one-way shipping time of the cargo ship can be shortened to one month.

The 'Holy Light' is trying to find a way to charter ships everywhere, and the one-time cargo is tens of thousands of tons. Strive for a monthly transportation volume of more than 300,000 tons within half a year, which is at least a turnover of more than 10 or 2 billion.

With the branch, the original members of the 'Holy Light' visiting group also have a formal place to stay. As soon as Zhou Qingfeng settled down, Ma Qianshan, who led the group, came to report a news.

"Xiao Zhou, you have messed up a big business with other people's Maozi." Director Ma walked into Zhou Qingfeng's office and laughed.

What?

There are more and more employees in the 'Shengguang' group, and it really needs a bit of entrepreneurial spirit. Director Ma is quite successful in team building internally, and Zhou Qingfeng respects each other.

But what does it mean that this big business is messed up?

"Do you know that China is also negotiating with Da Mao to buy ten Il-76s?"

"I don't know."

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, where did he know everything?

Director Ma smiled sheepishly: "China originally planned to buy a new plane, but the order has to be placed." But you tossed around with Deputy Minister Chuikov, and you were stunned to exchange tens of thousands of tons of light industrial products for ten second-hand Il-76s. ”

Yes, that's right.

Those Il-76s and the four Tu-154s that came to hand over to United Airlines to operate on their behalf. Although the operating costs are expensive, United Airlines doesn't care, after all, it can still make money.

"After careful research in China, I found that the second-hand one is no worse than the first-hand one, and the price is only one-third or even one-quarter of the new machine. And without spending foreign exchange, it's too cost-effective. ”

"So the domestic order for the new machine was withdrawn?"

"Withdrawn."

"And what about the domestic demand for military transport aircraft?"

"Isn't that just right, do you?"

"What do you mean I have? I also bought planes to make money, okay? ”

"Joint operation, just to reserve aircraft and pilots for the troops, and still make money, how good? Aren't you going to overhaul the line, just upgrade it to a manufacturing plant. ”
