Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In 1986, although there was already turmoil in the middle and lower classes of the Soviet Union, things like arms smuggling were not uncommon.  But the problem is that when Liu Dong came here, he was unfamiliar with the place, and the people he dealt with were also from the upper class. He had no connection with the people below him.

    In addition, even if Liu Dong wanted it at that time, there was no place to sell it, and domestic problems were also a problem.  All arms or arms-related things were in vain if Liu Dong got his hands on them.  Moreover, when Liu Dong came, he did not have a strong ally. Yeltsin had a good relationship with him, but at that time, Yeltsin would not discuss these issues with Liu Dong at all, and Gorbachev's control was relatively strong.  If you want to take action at that time, you are completely trying to alert the snake. Not only will there be no reward, but it will also make others wary.

    Think about it, when Yeltsin was removed by Gorbachev, Huanya had not done anything yet and was forced to close the door.  If the arms business started at that time, Huanya Company would be in big trouble, not to mention whether the people on the Soviet side could keep it. Liu Dong could be crushed to death even if the Soviet Union issued a diplomatic note.  Therefore, Liu Dong had no such idea at that time.

    But now, Levget has established a good network of connections. He is a member of the military family. Although he was not born in the military, his family is in charge of the military industry. It is easy to get things directly from the military factory.  First, it is easier to get things from the army. Even fools know how to choose.  In addition, Yeltsin's position is now stable and he will take office soon. Liu Dong's layout in the Soviet Union has almost been completed. Whether it is the people above or below, it all matters.

    At a time like this, if Liu Dong doesn't do something, God won't stand it.  He will not be like ordinary domestic companies who just buy some daily necessities to exchange for planes, which is considered a big deal.  Liu Dong's pattern is obviously different from that of people at the bottom.  So either don¡¯t do it, or do something big.  Liu Dong still looked down upon the trivial matter of one or two planes. Building a fleet of planes was what he should do.

    ¡°However, this transaction requires secret operations, at least it cannot have any impact on the domestic Huanya company.  Domestic transactions are domestic transactions, and foreign transactions are foreign transactions.  This is equivalent to dividing Huanya's actions in the Soviet Union into two parts.

    For the country, it is an exchange of supplies for supplies, but it is a civilian version.  For foreign countries, it is also materials for materials, or money for materials, but this material is a military version.  One for internal use and one for external use, just enough to complement each other.

    The Americans are engaged in the Soviet economy and want general commodities such as gold, but they are not very interested in the Soviet heavy industry and arms. Except for those cutting-edge things, they basically don¡¯t know anything about them.  care.  But just because Americans don¡¯t care about things doesn¡¯t mean that little people like Liu Dong don¡¯t care. If Americans eat meat, Liu Dong also wants to drink soup.

    Soviet machine tools are no longer good for the United States, but they are still a good thing for China.  Although China is said to have developed large-scale industry, that large-scale industry is only the foundation and an extension, and it needs to catch up with the world.  And it just so happens that things from the Soviet Union are basically of the same origin as China, so it will be much easier for China to absorb them.  As long as the target is found correctly, Liu Dong's sale of Soviet heavy industry can definitely be completed.

    As for arms matters, Liu Dong does not intend to intervene directly himself. That would be unsafe and unrealistic because he is not from this industry.  For laymen who make arms, don't get the T72 that was produced from the Soviet Union at the same price as the T80. Not to mention making money, it's good if you don't lose money.

    Leaving professional matters to professionals is something Liu Dong has repeatedly emphasized.  Therefore, arms-related issues must be left to professionals.  Liu Dong even had an idea that this arms trading company should become a highly competitive company, even if it doesn't use the Uniasia logo.  In other words, it is best not to use it, so that no one knows that this company is created by Huanya. That is the best way.  At that time, who dared to say that Huanya was an arms dealer?

    Of course, this is very unrealistic, because selling arms is for profit, and if there is profit, there must be a transfer. It is impossible to erase all traces, unless you are the Tathagata Jade Emperor.  And when the time is right, you have to find a backer for yourself. The United States cannot count on it, but the domestic government can still do it.  This issue can be discussed later. Anyway, Liu Dong believes that the domestic demand for arms is also very strong.

    Although they look down on gadgets because they can do it themselves, big guys, coming from the official side and coming from the private side are completely different concepts.  At that time, you can talk to Miao Yunlong about this matter. As a ministerial-level cadre, and he is still engaged in intelligenceYes, even if he does not belong to the military, he would probably be interested in such a matter of enhancing national defense strength.  Didn¡¯t Vagrian in later generations just use private channels?

    After finalizing a rough plan, Liu Dong began to give orders: "You can contact Levget for arms and civilian items. But Levget should pay attention to dividing this matter into two parts. It is best for him in the future."  Just take care of arms matters, and Zhou Qingfu, you will take care of civilian things from now on.

    "Compared with the huge profits from arms, Levget would be happy to let you, Zhou Qingfu, take away all the civilian resources in his hands.  If one is external and the other is internal, and they coordinate well with each other, Huanya's future cash flow will never be interrupted.  One of the most profitable industries in the world involves arms.  "

    "That's a good idea. Boss, you have a good idea. By not being under each other's control, we can avoid more troubles when the time comes. To the outside world, we will call you Levget, and to China, we will call you Zhou Qingfu. We, Asia Bank, will control it when the time comes.  Funding, this is simply a perfect plan, I think our Asia Bank needs to expand." As an uneasy banker, Robert never cared whether these transactions were legal or not.

    Because those who work in banks only care about whether you can make money. As for whether the transaction is good or bad, he absolutely does not mind.  Bankers in the United States can even provide loans to drug traffickers to purchase equipment as long as they are profitable, and they also think this is a relatively cost-effective deal.  Because the prices offered by drug dealers are always hard to resist.  In addition, this thing is inherently profitable, and the cost recovery is very simple. As long as that guy doesn't stupidly hit the muzzle of the gun, or the general environment changes, they can live a very prosperous life. If they are prosperous, the bank will naturally  Able to make money.  Take the current Golden Triangle for example. In that chaotic place, there are many people opening banks.

    "Indeed, as long as the business is on the right track, SAIB will not be out of money by then. By the way, how much money has SAIB made during this period?" Liu Dong asked Robert.

    He doesn¡¯t know much about the banking industry.  So he really didn't know what the bank's profitability was. The former Bank Asia was basically just a decoration.  Although it is registered in Hong Kong, it has not opened its doors to do banking business.  But it was different in the Soviet Union. With Yeltsin¡¯s leadership aura and official certification, SAIB was completely different from when it was in Hong Kong. It had developed vigorously. Although on the surface, SAIB¡¯s boss  They are from the Soviet Union, but Liu Dong certainly knows that SAIB is 100% his own industry.  So out of curiosity, Liu Dong asked about the profitability of Asia Bank.

    "During this period, I made a lot of money, but it's a pity that it's all rubles, so it's of no use. As you know the current ruble market, boss, it's really difficult to make money, and although the things here can  Buying and selling is done in rubles, but for real good things, others only want dollars, not rubles. So, we have no plans for the time being. The money is just put there. There are about 13 billion rubles in the bank now.  "Robert said indifferently.

    Hearing what Robert said, Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh. The rubles were really worthless. Although more than 1.3 billion rubles were deposited by ordinary people, basically no one took them, because even if  If they take it out, they can't buy anything, so they might as well put it in the bank and earn interest.  You know, the interest rates offered by Bank Asia are very high, 5% for one-year term, 10% for two-year term, 15% for three-year term, and 30% for five-year term.  It even reached 100% in ten years.

    ¡°If this were done domestically, the central bank would definitely convict it of disrupting financial order.  But in the Soviet Union, who would care about him?  Moreover, Bank Asia is now, on the surface, an official bank. The official bank raised interest rates, and it did so with the support of Yeltsin.  Not only were the people happy, but they were also grateful to Yeltsin.

    As for whether these rubles will be repaid in the future, that is simply a joke. By 1994 and 1995, these rubles will be equivalent to waste paper. Exchanging one dollar for tens of thousands of rubles is not a new thing.  Their national bank's interest rates are calculated in days, and the interest rate is several hundred percent every day, but even so, it still cannot keep up with the speed of depreciation.

    So even though there are more than 1.3 billion rubles in the bank now, by that time, it will be worth two to three million US dollars, which is already quite good. If Liu Dong repays such a small amount of money in US dollars, the Russians will definitely  I will be grateful to him and not think that SAIB is cheating.

    "More than 1.3 billion rubles is still a bit small. Continue to raise interest rates, especially long-term ones. If you save for more than five years, I will get double the interest rate, and you can save rubles in exchange for U.S. dollars. Yes, you can save rubles in exchange for U.S. dollars.  Consider this the selling point of our bank. Dead deposits of more than five years can be?Rubles to US dollars.  We accept as much as you can, and we won¡¯t refuse anyone who comes.  "Liu Dong said firmly.

    As soon as Liu Dong's words came out of his mouth, Robert screamed: "Boss, are you crazy? If you really do this, our bank will lose money to death. If you double the interest rate and pay back the US dollars by then, our bank will be deprived of those deposits."  I think it won¡¯t be long before the deposits in our bank will reach hundreds of billions of rubles. But how will we repay it by then? How much money does the whole Asia have? Do you want to be wanted by the Soviet Union, boss?¡±
