Chapter 103: Sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils
October 20, 1991, the headquarters building of Alfa Bank in Moscow.
It has been a month and a half since the last Communist Party Congress recognized the independence of the three union republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Thanks to various efforts by the radical members led by Yelikin, the impact of the August 19 Incident has gradually faded away. Although the ruble
It is still depreciating, but the rate of decline has slowed down a lot.
The domestic necessities market and financial market are controlled by the Alpha Group. With the large amount of necessities and food previously provided by Japan, Moscow's situation has become very profitable, and the people have also supported the radicals, completely leaving the conservatives behind.
However, the international situation is changing rapidly, and no one dares to predict what will happen tomorrow. However, in response to the changes in the domestic situation of Mao Xiong, experts from the Western powers unanimously believe that it is about to stabilize, and the disintegration that has been mentioned before may have disappeared long ago.
After all, that is the core of non-capitalist countries. If Mao Xiong falls, the world situation will be completely changed.
This is comparable to the Gulf War, and the oil war has attracted much attention.
Among the seven oligarchs, Oman Friedman, the youngest with the least assets and the weakest connections, rose to great heights by virtue of his relationship with Vladimir. Alfa Bank replaced the Moscow International Commercial Bank and settled in the Moscow Financial Center.
Alpha Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. also set sail and was officially listed.
The prototype of Alpha Consortium has been completed.
Arman Friedman never dreamed that his progress would be faster than Sosuke Kitahara's.
Sure enough, a businessman's best friend is a politician.
Vladimir's support allowed him to dominate the domestic business community without any rivals. On the contrary, in Japan, Kitahara Sosuke seemed to be attacked by the government, six major consortiums, and major wealthy families one after another, and his life was not so satisfactory.
Things are really unpredictable.
Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Aman sighed quietly in his heart, thinking about what this business could do for him.
Aman is a staunch Kitahara faction. In his opinion, the important thing is not the Kitahara Consortium, but the person Sosuke Kitahara. As long as he is alive, even if he loses nothing, he can still make a comeback.
Therefore, he even secretly hoped that Sosuke Kitahara would lose the bet of the century, and then he would step in. With the power here, it would not be a problem to bring Sosuke Kitahara and his family to Moscow.
After that, he will definitely not refuse to marry Victoria. He and Victoria will inherit the Alpha Group, which is much more reliable than his unfulfilled sons.
This was a small calculation in his mind, and it was also the reason why he did not take the initiative to assist Kitahara Sosuke.
There are more than a dozen people sitting around the conference table at this time. As the president of Alfa Bank, the host here, Arman Friedman, is only a marginal role and does not have much say.
The one who was chatting with Kitahara Sosuke was Acting President Yelkin. Sitting next to Yelkin was Vladimir, who was rising steadily. The others were all important members of the radical faction, controlling finance, law, technology, and military industry.
, business and everything in various fields.
The atmosphere of the meeting was quite harmonious. After all, it was a meeting where the spoils were divided and there was no need to fight to the death.
Kitahara Sosuke is only twenty-seven years old. Many people here are older than him, but after several discussions, many people fell silent.
The knowledge and talents displayed by this young man are so terrifying that they cannot be compared to old guys like them.
Finance, politics, business, technology... He can talk about anything in any field, and he speaks eloquently.
When talking about political topics, even Yelkin and Vladimir fell into deep thought because of some of his words.
As a result, Yelkin restrained his initial disdain for this young Japanese man.
He didn't know the specific relationship between Kitahara Sosuke and the Alpha Group and Vladimir. He only knew that he was a very talented and reliable partner who was constantly praised by his confidants.
Moreover, Vladimir had agreed to some of his requests earlier.
"I will ask the president of the State Bank of the Soviet Union to cooperate with you on the bank loan. The high-interest loans total 280 billion rubles, which is converted into 330 billion gold. According to your request, it will be converted into 35 trillion yen and sent to the Northern God Wolf.
In the credit bank account.”
Yelikin clicked on the agreement in front of him. This amount of money was nothing. It was jointly funded by ten domestic super banks, and each of them only contributed more than 30 billion meters of gold. For these behemoths, it was just a drop in the bucket.
The power of a country is far more powerful than an ordinary individual, let alone such a giant union.
As for the so-called high-interest loans, everyone who knows it understands it.
Kitahara Sosuke requested that the loan repayment date be set to ten years later, that is, in 2001. What kind of furry bears would still exist at that time?
Yelikin knew that Vladimir had already revealed this biggest secret to the Japanese. It didn't matter. Since he was chosen as Japan's only ally, this benefit had to be given.
It’s understandable that he took this opportunity to make hundreds of billions of gold in profits.
For this, Kithara Sosuke will also pay a certain price.
Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank will open an international branch in Moscow and officially intervene in Moscow's financial market. Such foreign banks are generally taken advantage of. It is difficult to compete with the local giants. Most of them are used for endorsements. They also have to provide Japan's advanced
Banking concept to Moscow.
"As for the second item, you want to buy high-tech and military technology. I learned about it. Kitahara Heavy Industries is also one of the top heavy industry companies in Japan. Although it does not seem to have anything to do with the national government, we generally do not accept companies with such a background.
Sell them core technologies, especially in the military industry."
Yelkin is not stupid. In the current world, the most valuable thing is military technology. Having this means that you can form a powerful army. You can understand these technologies when you look at the way the Middle East was beaten by the United States during the Gulf War.
importance.
Even scraps of military technology, sold second-hand to arms dealers or dangerous organizations, can provoke local wars, and then the merchants can profit from it.
He felt that Kitahara Sosuke had a similar idea.
"I understand your concerns, but in fact, the technology we want to purchase is more focused on chips, semiconductors, electronic technology, etc. As for the military industry, that is just incidental. The military industry also focuses more on the transportation industry, such as aircraft.
Cars etc.”
Kitahara Sosuke is stupid enough to buy a bunch of thermal weapon technology. He doesn't rebel or do anything. What he values is other people's advanced aircraft, aviation, deep-sea and other technologies.
Those are generally state-monopolized technologies that cannot be purchased no matter how rich you are.
If Kitahara Sosuke wants to compete with the six major consortiums in the future, he must continue to develop on this road.
