Chapter 626

The large number of unemployed people brought about by the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan posed a great challenge to the Soviet government. How to resettle these people has become the biggest headache of Gorbachev's government. In fact, even if the Soviet Union did not withdraw its troops, the actual unemployment rate was gradually rising. Because of the floating wages, those enterprises that were not in good operating conditions had to cut the wages of their workers, while those monopoly industries such as oil and gas, which were originally well paid, raised their wages. This rise and fall, coupled with the already serious inflation problem, It made life more difficult for many ordinary Soviet families.

Now that wages have actually greatly shrunk, more and more young people join gangs to engage in profitable smuggling business, especially those who will go abroad, and become the main force of smuggling in the Soviet Union. Smuggling perfume and cigarettes has become a trend among the civil aviation workers of the Soviet Union. On the contrary, this kind of situation is in line with Brezhnev's famous saying: "none of us can live on wages!"

In this case, the underground currency exchange industry of the Soviet Union gradually developed. In the black market, the exchange rate of rupee and US dollar has been twice as low as the official exchange rate. In the face of this shrinking wealth, people have tried every means to exchange their rubles into US dollars.

In this context, Xie liaosha decided to let the Gorky brothers give up the low-end industry of smuggling and concentrate on the underground financial industry. At present, the official exchange rate of ruble to us dollar in the Soviet Union is still around 1.5:1, but in the black market, the price is close to 3:1. In this case, the simplest way is to buy rubles from the black market and then exchange them with the official bank. However, for ordinary people, such exchange is hard to avoid being discovered by the financial regulatory authorities of the Soviet Union, Therefore, to do this kind of business must have a strong background and relationship.

Xie liaosha has unique conditions to do this kind of thing. When he first took over the Soviet Union foreign trade bank, Xie liaosha tried several times on a small scale, but now Xie liaosha has completely emptied the Soviet Union foreign trade bank, and his 1 trillion foreign exchange deposit has been successfully transferred to the Bank of Columbia, How to balance this account is what Xie liaosha needs to consider most. With this wave of exchange for foreign exchange, Xie liaosha decided to use rubles to fill this bad account, because now there are foreign-funded enterprises such as Volkswagen, McDonald's and kraft in the Soviet Union. In the future, more foreign capital will enter the Soviet market, so the foreign exchange of foreign trade banks will continue to flow out, And the continued inflow of rubles is a good excuse.

However, a trillion yuan is not a small amount. It's really incredible that he wants to exchange so much foreign exchange with three or four foreign enterprises. Therefore, Xie liaosha also needs to acquire more multinational companies, let them enter the Soviet market, and work together to balance this account. In this way, he can control as many companies as possible in the U.S. capital market, It can also give a reasonable explanation for the foreign exchange deficit of the Soviet Union.

Xie liaosha also has Glencore in his hand, and the natural resources of the Soviet Union are extremely rich. If Glencore can seize the oil market of the Soviet Union as soon as possible by taking advantage of the wave of the Soviet Union's opening to foreign investment, then Glencore may be able to compete with oil giants such as Mobil and BP in oil trade. In addition, Xie liaosha is also very interested in the natural gas of the Soviet Union. Can he try to use foreign capital to build more natural gas pipelines, so as to increase the voice of Canon in the European natural gas market?

The natural gas in the Soviet Union now mainly comes from the Caspian Sea, where various forces are entrenched and basically can no longer reach out. Xie liaosha thinks that only Qiuming natural gas, which is in a state of stagnation due to lack of funds, is still a bit of a start. Chernomyrkin is the current Minister of the Ministry of natural gas industry of the Soviet Union and the leader of the all Soviet Union Qiuming natural gas company. He has a good relationship with Yeltsin, and he also has some friendship with chernomyrkin. Chernomyrkin is very impressed by chernomyrkin, because he often hears this name in news about Russia when he is waiting for the news broadcast, During Yeltsin's presidency of Russia, chernomyrkin served as Russian Prime Minister. Therefore, chernomyrkin is a hero that shagliaosha should not miss in any case.

So after the ministerial meeting on the resettlement of troops in Afghanistan, seryosha found an opportunity to stop chernomyrkin, and wanted to discuss with him the establishment of a joint venture gas company and pipeline company in Qiuming.

After a brief introduction by Chernomyrdin, Chernomyrdin fell into a deep meditation. After a while, Chernomyrdin said to Chernomyrdin, "Chernomyrdin, the issue of natural gas is too sensitive. I don't think Secretary Gorbachev would agree that foreign capital should participate in our natural gas business, however, I think maybe we can pit those foreign capitalists with a chicken rib? "

When he heard that chernomyrkin was going to pit foreign investors, Xie liaosha couldn't laugh or cry. Canon cocoa was his company. Now he had to discuss with chernomyrkin how to pit his own business. What a joke. However, seryosa is still going to ask chernomyrkin how to pit foreigners.

"Seryosa, do you know the samotrol field?" Chernomyrkin said with a smile.

"No, it's the largest oil field in our country. Will the government allow foreign capital to participate in the exploitation of samotrol oil field?" Xie liaosha asked in disbelief.

"If there were no problems, foreign capital would not be allowed in. But now the output of samotrol oil field has dropped sharply, and the international oil price has been falling down again. Samotrol has little exploitation value in terms of cost! " Chernomyrkin sighed.

"How is it possible, if I remember correctly, that the samotroll oil field was discovered only in 1965, and its production once exceeded that of the Saudi gawar oil field. How did the production decline so much?" Xie liaosha asked confusedly.

"Hey, it's hard to say! Now the samotroll oil field can't create benefits for the country. If there is no foreign capital to take over, we can only let the local oil workers grow food for a living... "Chernomyrkin said.

"How much are you going to pay?" Xie liaosha asked curiously, he wants to know what happened to samotroll, how such a large oil field can not be exploited for more than 20 years?

"With 10 billion US dollars, foreign investors can get exclusive mining rights for 50 years!" Chernomyrkin put forward a number cautiously. After hearing this, seryosha felt happy.
