‘Shock therapy’ is originally a medical term. It is a method of forcibly delivering electric shocks to mentally ill patients who are severely excited, agitated, severely depressed, resistant, stubborn, and nervous. This is originally a very effective treatment method.
There is a so-called economist in the United States who has implemented a set of "drastic" economic reform methods. He engages in liberalization and privatization, and the government does nothing and lets the market decide everything.
To put it bluntly, it is to let capital play the leading role. Because these economic measures are too powerful, they will inevitably cause social unrest, also known as 'shock therapy'.
By the way, there are as many economists in Europe and the United States as dogs, and nonsense economic theories are flying everywhere. Most of them are liars who flatter each other. If you believe them, you will die quickly.
‘Shock therapy’ was successful in the small South American country of Bolivia, so the Western world praised this economic method and even recommended it to the alcoholic president.
The 'drunkard' didn't know whether he was crazy or just stupid, but he actually believed it.
In terms of area, Bolivia has nearly 1.1 million square kilometers. But in terms of population, it had less than 7 million people in the 1980s. Western countries can help it stabilize the situation as long as they contribute a little money.
But Mauritius has a population of over 100 million, a vast territory, and extremely complex political and economic situations. It is impossible to manage such a big country by just ignoring everything.
The alliance has disintegrated, people are panicking, and society is in extreme turmoil. Fools all know that we should rest instead of taking strong drugs, but the "drunkard" thinks that as long as we "shock" and let the capitalists take the decision, the economy will improve in half a year.
How does such a person's brain grow?
I really feel sorry for the people of the Da Mao family. The country has reached a miserable state, and this kind of bad thing happened again.
At the end of 1991, a thirty-five-year-old guy named "Gaidar" was responsible for promoting "shock therapy" - why did the word "Gaidar" look so familiar? It seemed like he had seen it somewhere.
This shock is the end.
Throughout the 1990s, Da Mao fell into an extremely dark and chaotic situation. Unexpected things happened in their family. Many things were not dared to be written in the script, but they just happened.
Including and not limited to...
Prices have skyrocketed, supplies are in short supply, production has stagnated, unemployment is widespread, residents' savings have been wiped out, state-owned assets have been sold off, large-scale corporate bankruptcies have occurred, oligarchs have controlled the lifeblood of the economy, and average life expectancy has declined.
Specific data shows that Mao started to go into "shock" at the beginning of 1991. In April, consumer goods prices rose 65 times, and the annual inflation was 2,510%.
By 1995, prices were 1,700 times what they were in 1990.
Throughout the 1990s, the ruble depreciated 20,000 times, almost as much as the "golden yuan coupons." This waste paper is too hard to wipe your butt.
It’s like the earth is falling apart. How can people survive in this economic environment?
If it weren't for an even weirder guy like Er Mao, Da Mao would have been the 'Global Misfortune Competition Champion' - other people's misfortune was due to their limited strength. The two brothers' misfortune was entirely due to their own suicide.
At this moment, 'Gaidar' has been pushed to the throne by the 'drunkard' and is about to start a 'shock'. The public opinion of the Mao family is already ready, advocating all day long that a free and happy life is coming.
In the sauna, Mao Mei described the content and measures of economic reform to Zhou Qingfeng, and mentioned that Western countries would provide money to help Mao. The moment she talked about the West, her eyes lit up.
Da Mao is really eager to become a Western country. This was a deep imprint carved by Peter I from the moment their country was established. Even thirty years after the dissolution of the alliance, they are still like this.
If you can't change it, you can't stop it. If you want to die, just die. Anyway, I'm here to take advantage, and it's good for me to be a little chaotic. Zhou Qingfeng sighed, don't think so much, just go to sleep.
In the last few days of December 1991, Zhou Qingfeng was busy opening a branch in Moscow. With the help of Deputy Minister Chuikov, he went to rent an office space at a research institute in the east of the city.
The entire institute covers an area of hundreds of acres and has dozens of buildings. The address where it is located is called "Aviation Engine Street", which originally belonged to the Ministry of Aviation Industry.
Most of the buildings in the courtyard are from the 1930s and 1940s, and they are thick and grand with low floors. ‘Holy Light’ has rented three buildings, and the monthly rent is only US$5,000, which is really cheap.
The entrance of the institute still has a colonnade-style design, and portraits of successive leaders of the Mao family hang on the walls of the internal office. The original office supplies have not been moved, and there are still many aviation models in the display cabinets in the corridor.
This institute lost government funding last year, and the heating was shut off for half a month. In winter in Moscow, walking into an office is like walking into a freezer.
The rent paid by ‘Holy Light’ was immediately paid by the courtyard for the heating bill.
Zhou Qingfeng personally took charge, recruited elites from the bureaucracy of the original alliance, and hired more than 300 people in one go to form a branch company to be responsible for the business of 'Holy Light' in Da Mao's family.
The per capita salary is only one or two hundred US dollars, which is quite cheap.
The employees include transportation, warehousing, purchasing, sales, public relations, etc. The Mao girl named Katya successfully served as the branch manager. However, she failed to replace Lin Wan and was instead managed by Lin Wan.
As the first overseas branch of 'Holy Light', Zhou Qingfeng pays special attention to it. Da Mao will be an important dumping market for the group. He will visit it every month in the future to ensure that no trouble occurs.
Domestically produced light industrial products will be continuously transported to St. Petersburg by large fast freighters, and the heavy industrial equipment and products of the Mao family will also be transported back by sea.
As long as the supply of goods is large enough, special fast routes can be established, and the one-way shipping time of freighters can be shortened to within a month.
‘Holy Light’ is trying to find ways to rent ships everywhere, with a one-time shipment of tens of thousands of tons. It aims to have a monthly transportation volume of more than 300,000 tons within six months, which is at least a turnover of more than ten to two billion.
With the branch office, the members of the original 'Holy Light' visiting group also had a formal place to stay. As soon as Zhou Qingfeng settled down, Ma Qianshan, who was leading the group, came to report a piece of news.
"Xiao Zhou, you ruined a big business for me." Director Ma burst out laughing when he walked into Zhou Qingfeng's office.
What?
There are more and more employees in the 'Shengguang' Group, and they really need some entrepreneurial spirit. Director Ma's internal team building is quite successful, and Zhou Qingfeng respects each other very much.
But what does it mean that this big business has been disrupted?
"Do you know that China is also negotiating with Mao to purchase ten IL-76s?"
"have no idea."
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, how does he know everything?
Director Ma smiled mischievously and said: "We originally planned to buy new aircraft in China, and the orders have already been placed. But after a lot of trouble with Deputy Minister Chuikov, you ended up exchanging tens of thousands of tons of light industrial products for ten second-hand Il-
76."
Yes, that's right.
Those IL-76s and the four Tu-154s acquired previously were handed over to United Airlines for operation. Although the operating costs are expensive, United Airlines doesn't care. After all, it can still make money.
"After careful research in China, I found that the second-hand ones are no worse than the first-hand ones, and the price is only one-third or even one-quarter of the new ones. And there is no need to spend foreign exchange, which is a great deal."
"So the domestic order for new aircraft has been withdrawn?"
"Withdrawn."
"What about the domestic demand for military transport aircraft?"
"Isn't this just right for you?"
"What do you mean I have it? I bought the plane to make money, okay?"
"How about a joint operation? It can be used to reserve aircraft and pilots for the army, and it can also make money. How great? Don't you want to overhaul the line? You might as well upgrade it into a manufacturing plant."
