Rebirth: My 80s

At this point, Stone's face improved. He looked at Ye and nodded, saying, "Please rest assured, sir. It's just a loan of 100 million rubles. How could our Chase Bank default on it? We can even pay in US dollars at that time."

No matter how you listen to this, it seems that the lender is getting a great deal, but Ye waved his hand and said, "No need, just pay in rubles..."

Ok?

Stone and the others were stunned and opened their eyes wide.

Is the US dollar suddenly not attractive again?

Ye noticed their expressions and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​calling. He walked back and said, "I didn't mean to embarrass you..."

"Isn't this embarrassing for you?" Stone was a little annoyed and interrupted him, "Aren't you aware of the trouble we are facing now? Do you really want us to pay back the rubles at this time?"

In the past, you begged us to exchange dollars every day.

Ye raised his hand and soothed him, "Just listen to me first. We have always had foreign exchange business dealings with Huaqiang Taikoo Bank, and the amount is very large. A long time ago, when we were discussing cooperation, Jack Lee mentioned that he could also open unlimited exchange to us, but he had a condition. In the future, we can only go to their bank to exchange rubles. This condition is written into the contract, and we must fulfill it during the contract period. You can't blame us, right? When we wanted to exchange foreign currency at first, it's not that we didn't come to you, but you were not happy."

It's Jack Lee again!

Stone's complexion, which had just improved, turned pale again.

They were completely plotted against by Jack Lee!

The expressions of the others were not much better.

Stone asked fearfully, "So whenever you need foreign exchange, you go to Huaqiang Taikoo Bank to exchange it. How many rubles do they have?"

Ye shook his head and said, "They don't announce this, so who knows? There must be a lot of them, because they are the only ones who run a unique business. In the whole Eastern Europe... no, in the whole world, only their bank provides unlimited ruble exchange services. You can calculate the time, it has been more than half a year. It's not just us. I heard that many CIS countries have contacted Jack Lee. I'm afraid they have done a lot of big business in private. After all, those countries want to issue their own currency. I guess the bulk of the rubles are now in Jack Lee's hands..."

Stone and the others felt a chill in their hearts and their faces turned pale.

Someone suddenly said, "Sir, please issue more currency!"

The person next to him echoed, "Yes, yes, the most urgent thing is to issue more rubles and release the news immediately, otherwise there will be big problems. You must know what happened on Bank Street, and we have no rubles to withdraw to our customers. If we continue like this, won't the world be in chaos?"

Another person chimed in, "The currency falls into the hands of one person? Doesn't that mean that this person controls the lifeline of your country's economy? To be frank, even you will have to act according to his wishes from now on. Is this the result you want to see?"

Ye glanced at the few people and said, "Have you forgotten something? I suggested that we make laws and regulations to prohibit the issuance of currency without considering productivity, but it was you who proposed it."

"It's Jack Lee! This ambitious guy started planning at that time!" the man said gritting his teeth.

Ye turned his head and looked at him. "You are also involved. I remember that at that meeting, everyone raised their hands and it was passed unanimously. Legislation and then repealing the law is not a trivial matter. There are two other problems. First, issuing more currency will inevitably cause currency depreciation. The ruble has fallen so much, and our people will probably not agree. Second, why do you think Jack Lee dared to exchange rubles so unrestricted? He came to us at the beginning, and we also gave him a further reassurance. In addition to legislation and regulations, there is also a private agreement. If we repeal the law and issue more currency, we need to compensate him, a breach of contract price that we cannot afford."

After a brief pause, Ye sighed and said, "He is not only plotting against you, but obviously also against us. Otherwise, given the current economic situation in our country, why have we never dared to think of issuing more currency? This person is very scary."

Ye acted as if he was in the same boat with Li Jiankun, but only he and Li Jiankun knew the real situation.

Stone, who had been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice: "There is another trick, changing the currency. The Soviet Union has done this more than once in history. This is a good way to deal with currency tensions and inflation. Issue a new ruble. Your country has just gained independence, so it is reasonable to issue your own currency. The people will definitely understand."

The other representatives of Western capital all brightened up, what a good idea!

Not only can it solve their urgent problems and make Jack Lee's plan go down the drain, but it can also make Jack Lee suffer a huge loss!

Several times in Soviet history when new rubles were issued, they were exchanged for old rubles at a ratio of 1:10.

However, Ye said at this time: "Do you think Jack Lee didn't think of this? The first major clause in the agreement is about the issuance of new currency, which is disadvantageous to us but very beneficial to him. Think about it, this man is extremely smart. Since he is prepared to absorb such a large amount of rubles, isn't he afraid that we will abandon the current rubles all at once? As you said, the former Soviet Union had more than one currency reform in history, so he will definitely set limits for us and ensure that there are no worries before carrying out his own plan. And we didn't even think about issuing a new currency at the time, so we didn't take it seriously at all..."

All roads are blocked!

Stone and his companions looked at each other, with beads of sweat on their foreheads as the temperature in Moscow was less than ten degrees Celsius in this season.

The Russian Central Bank and Ye Mou not only failed to help, but also brought down a huge mountain. Not only Chase Bank, but all other foreign banks have borrowed money from the Soviet Central Bank to some extent, and the due date of the first loan is almost the same.

How to pay it back?

How to deal with customers who are stuck in banks trying to withdraw money?

They simply can't come up with that many rubles.

No other group or individual in the world can come up with so many rubles.

Except Jack Lee.

After Stone and others went back to Chase Bank through the back door, they gathered everyone together and held two consecutive meetings in a short period of time, which shows how difficult the situation was.

Stone glanced at the participants present and said breathlessly, "There is no other way. If we want to get through this difficult time, we can only contact Jack Lee, even if it costs a heavy price."

Everyone's faces looked very ugly.

"He will definitely open his mouth like a lion."

"He has planned so many things, isn't he just waiting for us to find him?"

"It's a complete seller's market. We have no choice but to buy. Isn't it up to him to decide how much profit he wants?"

“We are like lambs to the slaughter.”

"What if his appetite is so huge that we simply can't handle it?"

...

Everyone was talking about it.

"I don't agree!" Judy said angrily, "We can't let him kill us."

Stone looked at her indifferently and said, "If the senior members of your family give the order to allow Datong not to do this, I would be very happy to do so."

Judy clenched her fists and said, "There must be other ways, there must be..."

For her to bow to Jack Lee was more painful than having her flesh cut off. The family affairs here were already being managed by other people. She still stayed in the Soviet Union, originally intending to watch Jack Lee lose everything he had, and then she would make this hateful guy live a life worse than death.

We are not waiting to see Jack Lee slaughtering everyone and catching them all in one fell swoop.

hatred!

The overwhelming hatred emanated from within and could not be hidden or suppressed at all.

It was not surprising that other people knew that she had a grudge against Jack Lee, or at least that she had been slapped by Jack Lee.

Stone was just trying to make this old woman, who was blinded by anger, realize that he had already thought about the things she was thinking about in her mind, when there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door.

Stone turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and shouted, "Come in."

William rushed in, glanced at the conference room, and said in a trembling voice: "The exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar has rebounded, a sharp rebound!"

Everyone was shocked, but not surprised.

In this situation, even banks cannot take out rubles, and customers are scrambling to withdraw rubles. As a result, it would be strange if the ruble price did not rise.

Stone made a prompt decision and said, "I suggest that we go find Jack Lee right away. Who else objects?"

No matter how upset the participants looked, they all kept their mouths shut, including Judy. No matter how angry she was, at least she knew that when it came to the interests of the family, she could not afford to be petty.

Stone rushed to Huaqiang Taikoo Bank with the original team.

"Not here? Mr. Liu, we are all colleagues, please help us in times of emergency, don't be like this..."

In Liu Jingyan's office, Stone's face looked like a bitter gourd.

Liu Jingyan sat leisurely behind the mahogany desk, crossed her legs, holding a cup of scented tea in her hand, "Why would I lie to you? Our boss is really not here."

Next to Stone, someone said in an annoyed and frustrated tone: "Boss Liu, let's be frank. This is all set up by Mr. Li. Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory. Why isn't he here?"

Liu Jingyan glanced at him and said, "Perhaps our boss thinks the fruit is not yet ripe?"

"..."

Stone stopped the person next to him who was about to speak, stared at Liu Jingyan, and tried to remain calm and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, where did Mr. Li go?"

"foreign."

Stone and others: “!!!”

You son of a bitch! Why are you going abroad at this time?

A bead of sweat trickled down Stone's temples. "When will Mr. Li be back?"

Liu Jingyan shook her head and said, "The boss went to do something else that has nothing to do with me, so he didn't tell me. I will come back when it's time."

What the hell is this!

This book, the latest chapter, section

Take a look at the 6-9 book bar!

Before coming, they specifically learned about the rebound in the ruble exchange rate. The sharp rebound that William mentioned was an understatement. The exchange rate was rising straight up, which was frightening.

Every one-cent increase in the ruble exchange rate means that their starting point for negotiations will be raised by one point.

When it comes to huge amounts of money, even a difference of one cent is not a small amount.

Damn Jack Lee, he obviously did it on purpose!

The plan worked, forcing them to come over to negotiate, but the bastard thought the profit was not enough and ran away.

wild ambition!

Terrible!

Stone finally asked Liu Jingyan if she could make the decision. Liu Jingyan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Stone and his companions returned in disappointment.

----

The capital of Ukraine.

Kyiv Hotel.

Li Jiankun was in the hotel's swimming pool garden at this time, lying on a lounge chair enjoying a sunbath. In front of him was a beautiful scene, with pictures of beauties playing in the water, and Eastern European and American women in swimsuits of all shapes and sizes. On the small coffee table next to him was a specially made cocktail with a straw. He would tilt his head to take a sip from time to time.

Life is so comfortable.

What's going on in Russia?

Not urgent.

Are you afraid of not making enough money?

Are you afraid that hitting Western capital isn’t harsh enough?

This matter will not be over until they suffer heavy losses.

The current situation is that Russia is suffering from a shortage of money. As long as he does not open a warehouse to release the ruble, the ruble will become more and more scarce. And some people are eager to get it, so the ruble exchange rate will naturally continue to rise.

Of course, everything should be done in moderation. Don't go too far, otherwise anything can happen.

The degree of this matter depends on how long Ye can hold on.

It is foreseeable that Washington will intervene in the end, after all, it is the boss who is being beaten and robbed. Another issue is the security of the country.

The interests of Ye and Li Jiankun are the same. The longer they resist, the more money they will make.

So Western capitals are anxious, customers who have no money to withdraw are anxious, Ye is also anxious, and the only one who doesn't need to be anxious is Li Jiankun.

Thinking of those Western banks that were frantically absorbing deposits in the early days, and the approximate figures added up, Li Jiankun laughed in an unkind manner.

Furthermore, the ruble has plummeted compared to the past. Although Russia distributed state-owned enterprises to citizens in the form of securities, most of these securities were eventually taken away by Western capital in the form of rubles. This means that under the planned economy, the ruble, which was not issued in large quantities, was used to buy out almost all of Russia's state-owned enterprises.

The ruble today is no longer the ruble of the past.

Full of gold content.

Because it not only has the properties of currency, but also each banknote indirectly carries Russia's state-owned enterprises. Securities are fragments of state-owned enterprises, and the fragments are exchanged for rubles.

Therefore, the surge in the ruble is reasonable. It would be a problem if it did not appreciate, and it would be in line with the wishes of Western capital.

In their previous life, they had successfully planned this game of chess. In this life, it was completely destroyed by Li Jiankun. Not only that, the benefits were also transferred to him.

How can I describe how comfortable it is?

"You continue." Li Jiankun gestured to the side.

"I'm just wondering, how can you still laugh?"

There was also a person on the recliner next to him, wearing long sleeves and long pants like Li Jiankun. Those Eastern Europeans are more resistant to cold, which is incomparable to this one.

"Thinking about something else."

Mou Qizhong smiled bitterly and said, "You better pay more attention, otherwise there will be no hope."

After the meeting in Beijing, based on the information provided by Li Jiankun, Mou Qizhong rushed to Ukraine. As expected, an aircraft carrier that was only 70% built was parked at the Black Sea Shipyard. Ukraine had no money to continue building it. It was originally built for Russia, but Russia simply didn't want it, saying that it was used to offset the previous construction costs owed. Ukraine was dumbfounded. It was useless for them to come. The United States kept sending people and wanted them to destroy some of its weapons of mass destruction. In other words, this aircraft carrier has now become a useless lump of iron that is neither loved by its grandma nor its uncle, occupying the toilet and affecting the shipyard's business, and it will cost a lot to dismantle it.

Fortunately, they don't want it, and there seems to be someone interested.

So, a smart person in Wu State came up with an idea: why not sell it and make some money? How to sell it? To maximize the profit, it is better to let interested parties compete for it, and the highest bidder wins.

Thus, an auction was born.

After Ukraine released the news, interested buyers came one after another.

Mou Qizhong also signed up, revealing his true identity as a businessman. On the bidding form given by the Ukrainian side, he filled in the purpose of the purchase as one of the main facilities of a large marine park.

During this period he has been constantly building relationships here, hoping to increase the probability of a successful bid, and as a result has learned a lot.

There are actually several countries among the competitors this time.

In Mou Qizhong's opinion, isn't this just a child fighting a giant?

In addition, the United States also sent a special person for this purpose. The insiders that Mou Qizhong had recruited here told him that the Americans wanted to dominate this auction.

In a nutshell, the final buyer must get their approval.

Everyone knows that the honeymoon period between China and the United States is over.

America, which likes to create hostility to stimulate its own development, has long pointed its spearhead at the East.
