Now that the old chief has offered a price, Mr. Liu has to say that although the money will definitely not flow to China, he still needs to let the old chief know what Liu Dong wants to do, and maybe he will have a relationship with the Chinese official in the future. Opportunity to coorparate. After all, with so much money, one Huanya company may not be able to absorb it. Without a strong ally, even if Huanya can absorb it for a while, it will have to spit out some when Russia recovers its strength.
"Liu Dong's bank is different from domestic banks. When the money is put into the Soviet Union, it may not be used to transport funds to the Soviet Union. Liu Dong and the Institute of International Affairs in Asia judge that based on the current economic situation of the Soviet Union, their currency is stable Sex is very bad, and if it continues, the depreciation of the ruble will be inevitable." Mr. Liu said.
Hearing Mr. Liu say this, the old chief's expression became serious. Although China's official holdings of rubles are not many, especially compared with hard currencies like the US dollar, the Soviet Union's rubles are really hard to mention. Good feelings, even some official transactions with the Soviet Union in recent years, most of them were barter, similar to what Liu Dong did in the Soviet Union.
Even when buying goods from the Soviet Union, such as military products, the Soviet Union took the initiative to ask for U.S. dollars instead of the rubles they issued. When the Soviets themselves were not optimistic about their own currency, what reason did they have for others to believe in their ruble purchasing power?
Although China's official reserve of rubles is small, it is not completely absent. Although the number is only a small number in the eyes of the officials, no matter how small the official number is, especially in front of a big country like China, if that number is placed on an individual It's definitely not a small sum of money.
Therefore, even the old leader has to worry about the news of the Soviet Union¡¯s ruble depreciation. If it is true as Liu Dong said, then Chinese officials must keep this in mind when doing transactions with the Soviet Union in the future. Otherwise, if the ruble depreciates, China will have to pay for them.
This is just like the U.S. dollar in later generations. Although the U.S. dollar is a global currency, the means of its issuance is limited to one country. If the United States has no money, it will be able to get other people's real money into its own hands by devaluing the U.S. dollar. go. China has suffered a lot from the depreciation of the US dollar.
Of course, when there was still a superpower, the Soviet Union, the United States did not act as openly as in later generations. After all, there are only two superpowers in the world. If the United States cannot guarantee the value of the dollar, others may not like the Soviet ruble.
You must know that the value of the US dollar is no longer reflected in hard currencies such as gold, but in oil. China is short of oil, but the United States is not. Not only does it control the oil in the Middle East, but their own oil quantity is actually not small.
How did Rockefeller rise? Without oil, they would not have become one of the two giants influencing American politics. The first place where large oil fields were discovered was not in the Middle East, but in Mexico and the United States. In Mexico, under the shadow of the United States, their oil rights have never been in their own hands.
¡°But the United States has so much oil rights, but it cannot control all the oil. At most, they can affect the price of oil. But they can't let others give up their desire to buy Soviet oil. Even if the Soviet Union has exhausted the Baku oil fields, the oil they found in the Tyumen area is enough for them to enjoy.
"After the Soviet Union got oil, if the U.S. currency was as soft as Japan's, the Soviet Union might not be able to take this opportunity to turn the ruble into a global currency. If that situation really happened, the Soviet Union's economy would immediately improve, and the United States would not want the Soviet Union to evolve peacefully.
Now that Americans have to be a bitch, the Soviet rubles have become dispensable within the scope of world trade. China can also see through this and does not accept rubles in some transactions.
¡°But if Liu Dong has definite news that the ruble is not good, then the old leader will definitely block the ruble¡¯s limited space in the country. China is not generous enough to pay for the Soviet Union with its own money.
"Is there any definite news?"
"Liu Dong's Asian Bank has been in the Soviet Union for a long time. According to him, the Soviets themselves don't like to use rubles, and some places even directly refuse to accept rubles. The U.S. dollar and Japanese yen are better than the ruble in the Soviet Union. Its position is strong. On the black market, even the Central Bank of the Soviet Union is exchanging rubles for US dollars. Under such circumstances, if the Soviet Union does not take any precise guarantee measures, the depreciation of the ruble is absolutely inevitable." Mr. Liu also replied seriously .
"So, the Soviet Union's economy is no longer good?" the old leader said to himself.
"It's long gone. Otherwise, Liu Dong's barter project wouldn't be approved."So many Soviet people agreed. Without the consent of those people, no matter how many things we in China have, we will not be able to sell them. For those people, if those factories in the Soviet Union can make profits for their own families, then other problems will not be a problem. "
"But does this have anything to do with Liu Dong putting dollars in the Soviet Union?" Although the old leader understood economics, he didn't know what Liu Dong's purpose was, so he was a little confused about Liu Dong's thoughts.
"Get the U.S. dollars to SAIB, and SAIB's position in the Soviet Union will become more stable. These U.S. dollars are equivalent to SAIB's margin. It's not how much money you need to use, but what you need to show others. To the strength of the Bank of Asia, let the Soviets deposit the Soviet rubles in the Bank of Asia." Mr. Liu explained.
Hearing what Mr. Liu said, the old leader gently tapped the armrest of the sofa with his hand and said, "Why does he want so many rubles? Since he wants devalued things, won't the more he takes, the more he will lose?"
"I don't know exactly how to do it. After all, I'm not specialized in finance. But I heard him say that if what the Soviet Union is doing now is really successful, then those state-owned enterprises in the Soviet Union can become Personal things. At that time, if you had the strength, you could use the depreciated ruble to get all the valuable things in the factories and mines of the Soviet Union into your own hands at a reasonable price.
Although the ruble will depreciate by then, it cannot continue indefinitely, otherwise, the Soviet economy will completely collapse. In the face of the massive depreciation of the ruble, the more rubles you control, the more benefits you can get. Although there are some things that are not convenient for us to do, we can still use our strength. In that way, these rubles will be useful. Anyway, Liu Dong had no intention of using the US dollars. "Mr. Liu said.
"Hiss!" The old chief took a breath of cold air: "That Liu Dong of yours really has a huge appetite? How can this money be used like this? Without paying anything at all, he can take advantage of the Soviet Union with nothing. Things become their own. Could it be that the Soviet Union would really become like that? It¡¯s really terrifying!¡± Thinking of China¡¯s affairs in the Soviet Union, the old leader was shocked and angry.
You know, there are a lot of forces in the country now that want to learn from the achievements of the Soviet Union. If we really let them learn well, China will become the second Soviet Union. At this time, the old chief was no longer thinking about how to compromise, but how to put out the fire from the roots up. Mr. Liu's words can be regarded as making up the old leader's determination. Some things can be achieved without compromise, especially when the country is in crisis. Persistence is far better than compromise.
When Mr. Liu saw the old chief¡¯s changed face, he knew exactly what the old chief had chosen. This can be regarded as an additional benefit for Mr. Liu to tell the old chief the plan. Now that the old leader has made up his mind, the Liu family no longer needs to hesitate about what to do next.
He didn¡¯t believe that Comrade Yuehua could get any benefits from the old leader. At this moment, the old chief said to Mr. Liu: "The news given by your Liu Dong is really important. Even our intelligence department is not as alert as he is on such matters. . This is a big challenge and a big opportunity for us in China.
Well, I am also very interested in his plan. If he has time, I hope he will come to my place in the shortest possible time. When the time comes, I will need his help as a consultant. "
¡°If it were just some economic plans for Huanya, or some political purposes, the old chief wouldn¡¯t be so urgent. The key lies in the matters on the Soviet side, and the connection with China is not light. If something happens to the Soviet Union, then if China follows the Soviet Union, something will happen to it too.
??According to Liu Dong¡¯s point of view, if something happens to the Soviet Union, it will definitely be a big deal and a big problem will arise. The shock to the entire Soviet Union is not small. A bipolar power like the Soviet Union will have big problems. A country like China that is still developing will definitely have much more serious problems than the Soviet Union. For the sake of China, the old leader cannot let Liu Dong slip away from his hands.
Hearing the old chief¡¯s arrangement, Mr. Liu didn¡¯t find it strange at all. You must know that he was very frightened when he learned about Liu Dong's inference at that time, and he was not yet in office. People like the old chief would only value Liu Dong's ideas more.
"Tomorrow, I will ask him to report to you tomorrow. If you have any doubts then, just ask him directly. When it comes to the news from the Soviet Union, he should have some information. Then you can If you give him a good squeeze, you might be able to get some unexpected gains from him. After this kid's Huanya becomes bigger and bigger, even I can't see how big their Huanya potential is. They were in the Soviet UnionTheir cooperation has already amazed me, and their Asia-Pacific reach extends far beyond the Soviet Union. "The old man said leisurely.
