Chapter 0691 The outbreak of man-made disasters (2)
The first three months of 1992 were Da Mao's last moment of glory. All opportunities for self-rescue were lost, and everything was irreversible. This was not something that could be solved with external help, but was already rotten internally.
The alliance has disintegrated, and its corpse will rot and stink, attracting a lot of scavengers. Anyone with a sensitive sense of smell will sense that a gluttonous feast is about to begin.
Gaidar's reforms are a joke. He privatized all the alliance's heritage and distributed it to all citizens.
Since the alliance's legacy is estimated to be worth 1.5 trillion rubles, and the population of Mauritius is about 1.5 billion, each citizen is allocated 10,000 rubles of privatized securities.
Before the reform, 10,000 rubles was a huge sum of money. But after the reform, 10,000 rubles could only buy a pair of shoes. Rich people bought privatized securities from citizens at very low prices, easily pocketing state-owned assets.
.
During the whole process, what do ordinary people have? Nothing. Get ready to eat the northwest wind.
This trick will be played until the end of 1992, until Gaidar can no longer play it. He walked away, but he messed up the whole country and left a mess.
Chuikov has long been corrupted by money and power, but in the face of the extremely deteriorating economic situation, he, as a privileged class, cannot sit still. All the new rich are afraid of another '8.19'.
In addition to continuing to ask for loans from the West, the Maoist government is desperately trying to find ways to curb the rise in prices. But under a market economy, the West will not want rubles like useless paper, let alone Mao’s ‘backward’ industrial products.
At this moment, the only ones who can provide cheap goods are flower growers - other families have production capacity, but the prices are extremely expensive, and they are not willing to barter.
"We have a population of 150 million, and most of them live in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of tons of light industrial products a month are not enough. We must increase it, ten times or a hundred times."
Market turmoil will lead to social unrest, from which no one will be immune.
Chuikov knew very well who he should look for to solve the problem of product supply. Relying on bureaucracy was not enough. It was slow, expensive and delayed. He had to find someone reliable to handle it.
Then there is only the ‘Holy Light’ that has established business reputation.
This meets the needs of a superpower.
Zhou Qingfeng was dizzy. It was not enough to just recycle the domestic waste in the future. An actual production system must be established.
but......
"No problem, I will personally take care of this matter and mobilize all supply sources to meet your country's needs. I guarantee that the supply in April will definitely exceed 500,000 tons and reach one million tons within three months.
At the same time, I hope that you can open up more technical fields and provide more engineering personnel and heavy industrial products. Such as aerospace, military shipbuilding, heavy machinery, cutting-edge materials and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, etc."
Every time Zhou Qingfeng made a request, Cuikov's face jumped. What he mentioned were high-tech fields that the alliance had spent a lot of money to develop in the past few decades, and it was also the last source of wealth for the alliance.
‘Holy Light’ had a huge appetite, and it was obviously like a whale swallowing it in one gulp.
Chuikov shook his head at this, "I only manage the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and I can only open it within the scope of my authority. Other aspects..."
Zhou Qingfeng interrupted: "Either the Holy Light will only keep the Ministry of Aviation Industry controlled by you, or it will push you to a higher position."
Chuikov was stunned for a moment and did not speak again. He changed his words to discuss the details of increasing barter trade between the two parties and requested that the existing cooperation projects be promoted.
Wanting to increase supply is nothing more than a problem of production and transportation. Production is solved by the ‘Holy Light’, but transportation faces bottlenecks.
DaMao's geographical environment is quite harsh. In fact, only one port, St. Petersburg, can be used. Other ports have more or less fatal flaws.
But this had nothing to do with Uncle Zhou. The two discussed the details until dawn, and Cuikov just left.
Eileen, as secretary, sent the latest report.
The Persians were so anxious that they placed a black market order worth hundreds of millions of dollars and demanded delivery as soon as possible. The main ones were ten TF-30 turbofan engines and avionics equipment.
This batch of goods is ready. As long as the money is in place, Marcos can deliver it from Boryspil Airport. Zhou Qingfeng hopes that Persia can give him other Tomcats to repair, so that he can earn more.
In addition, the negotiations between Ma Qianshan and Madasic went very smoothly. The first-stage cooperation amount was exactly 100 million U.S. dollars, and the start-up capital was 20 million U.S. dollars.
Zhou Qingfeng sighed and could only transfer the newly obtained funds to send to Motor Siqi.
"Master, there are two things that I'm afraid you won't be happy about." Irene said this to prepare Zhou Qingfeng mentally.
Zhou Qingfeng pinched his head and asked, "What's so bad?"
"The Americans determined that Holy Light used illegal means to smuggle prohibited goods and imposed sanctions on us on the grounds of obstructing national security."
"Hmm, I know this."
‘Holy Light’’s smuggling has made great progress in the domestic manufacturing and electronic industries. This matter cannot be hidden. Yingjiang was just an investigation at the beginning, but a chaos broke out in Ermao’s family, which directly detonated the conflict.
The nuclear warhead that General Chechevatov bit himself to death was not lost, but he refused to be verified by any external force. Unable to grasp the handle of the nuclear materials, Yingjiang put the matter of smuggling on the table.
However, Zhou Qingfeng has not had any public transactions with Europe and the United States, and he doesn't care.
"Because we were sanctioned, the Japanese yen commercial loan was hindered. Watanabe Yu said that Mitsui sent people to Tianyang to inspect and were very optimistic about the group's development. But now they dare not lend money. Unless...
..”
"Unless what?"
"This is the second worst thing. Hong Kong's HSBC bank blocked our account and froze the group's tens of millions of dollars in assets."
Bang...
Zhou Qingfeng punched the office table hard in annoyance, leaving a dent. He was angry and happy, "I can't deal with Yingjiang, how can I not deal with a bank? All the cats and dogs are jumping in front of me."
Eileen had expected this, rolled her eyes slightly, and continued: "'Mitsui' said that if we can't even solve the bank account problem, then there will be nothing they can do to help."
Zhou Qingfeng sneered, "Account? I'm not a banker, how can I solve the account problem? But I can solve the person who caused the account problem.
Is that bastard eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? I haven’t been to HK for a long time. Have people there forgotten me? If this matter goes unpunished, shouldn’t they send someone to arrest me next time?”
Eileen sighed, "Master, you'd better calm down. Killing a few people won't solve the problem. Maybe you have to think of other ways."
Of course, killing people will not solve this complex problem of connecting branches and vines.
"It would be too cheap for HSBC to just kill people. This time I will make the troublemaker behind the scenes feel distressed to death." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and asked: "Has Hongkong's big thief Zhang Ziqiang committed a big case recently?"
Erin shook her head, "After the master went to Hong Kong twice, the gang members were so frightened that they all ran away. I have never heard of such a person appearing."
"It doesn't matter. There is no Thief King Zhang, but there is Thief King Zhou. Let Marco Shi prepare and send me a T-80U tank."
