Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

"Masses held in Moscow, Leningrad and some other cities. Gorbachev's government declared a ban on parades in the capital and sent troops into Moscow (estimates of the number of troops range from 50,000 to 70,000). Large numbers of military vehicles , including armored personnel carriers cordoned off the city center."

"The coal miners' strike spread throughout the Soviet Union. The miners demanded the resignation of President Gorbachev. The mass strike even hit Belarus."

"The whole country is in a landslide, and the central government is helpless."

"There was a long queue at the entrance of the state-run site, and all the stores were empty shelves. Due to the severe shortage of supplies, the prices of black market commodities continued to rise."

"According to unpublished statistics, the shutdown rate of state-owned enterprises in Russia has reached 30%. With the shutdown of enterprises, a large number of people have fallen into unemployment."

"Observation statistics show that the recent crime rates in Moscow, Russia's largest city, and Leningrad, Russia's second largest city, have risen several times year-on-year. Our reporter suffered two serious personal crises in just three days while interviewing in the two places. .”

"Ethnic clashes lead to bloodshed, large-scale armed clashes on the border between Ukraine and Belarus."

"Leningrad is the largest industrial city in Russia. Due to the recent large-scale shutdown of enterprises, enterprise employees have been forced to leave the factory to make a living. On the streets, you can see countless pedestrians wearing factory uniforms frowning. This reflection is like It is like a mirror, reflecting the gloom and crisis of the entire Soviet regime"

"Political economist Vasily said that the current crisis in the Soviet economy and socio-political structure has eroded ideology and moral values. If the corruption problem cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will become the sinking factor of the country. Torch".

"On April 9, the Georgian government issued a declaration of independence and withdrew from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."

"."

In the office, Shen Jiannan flipped through all the newspapers and gently closed his eyes.

Georgia's independence means that the Soviet Union has taken another big step on the road to disintegration.

The wheels of the general trend have already started, and under the impetus of public opinion, the leader of the general trend, the behemoth of the Soviet Union will only continue to move forward along the previous track.

No one can stop the Soviet Union from going to the grave.

This is a good thing.

On April 4, 1949, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Portugal signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington.

That is the so-called NATO.

In 1955, the NATO alliance absorbed West Germany into NATO.

In order to counter NATO and maintain the core position of the Soviet among the Warsaw Pact countries, under this background the Warsaw Pact countries established the Economic Mutual Assistance Committee.

The joining countries are 9+3, namely the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Democratic Germany, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, China and three observer countries, Vietnam, Laos and Mongolia.

Among them, Huaxia State joined the Warsaw Pact in 1956, but was unfortunately kicked out by Big Brother in 1961.

The Economic and Mutual Council is an association of economic mutual assistance contract countries. Such contract countries will inevitably have international trade issues, and will inevitably face the problem of foreign exchange settlement.

In order to solve this problem, the transfer ruble system was introduced in the late 1960s.

It is equivalent to that each country in the economic and trade association has a foreign trade account, and the "transfer ruble" is used as the accounting unit for settlement.

In other words, in terms of circulation, the ruble itself is not actually a pure currency.

Its correct name should be called the bookkeeping ruble.

Because in the Warsaw Pact, the entire economic system is non-commercialized and a planned economy is implemented.

Just like the institutes, factories, bureaus, ministries, and production associations in the Soviet Union, production relies on the budget and the assessment related to budget savings.

The state-run economy purchases materials from the planning committee for unified purchase and sales through the budget at planned prices. People need various bills in addition to rubles when purchasing materials.

Cloth tickets are needed to buy cloth, bread tickets are needed to buy bread, and theater tickets are even needed to watch a play.

And even going to the bank to withdraw money has serious restrictions.

Everyone withdraws money at the state-owned bank every day, the upper limit is 500 rubles, and there is a long queue.

Money, rubles.

Its monetary properties are severely limited.

Even circulation within the Soviet Union was severely restricted.

In such a capital-controlled country, if you want to play capital operations, there is no way for gods.

It is impossible for Tianxia Yi to make a dime in this kind of place.

However, as countries became independent one after another, the Soviet Union's current shared economy would undergo fundamental changes.

democracy freedom.

Under the people's pursuit of democracy and freedom, the wealth accumulated and plundered by the Soviet Union with powerful force will be securitized. In democracy and freedom, the Soviet Union's local currency, the ruble, will become a truly circulated currency.

until then.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the office door.

Shen Jiannan opened his eyes and shouted.

"Come in."

A girl in a business suit walked in.

Li Jiaxin.

Lu Shu recruited clerks in Hong Kong.

Twenty-five or six-year-old, ordinary in appearance, but he is sincere and down-to-earth.

She opened the door respectfully.

"Boss. There is a Mr. Robert John coming for an interview."

"Let him in!!"

Two minutes later, a white man in his fifties walked to the door of the office under the guidance of Li Jiaxin.

That's right, the old man.

Although Robert is actually only fifty years old.

But his white hair and fat body make people have to doubt his real age.

Fortunately, his spirit is not bad.

He was wearing a nice suit and a blue tie.

There is still a trace of the temperament of a financial elite.

Of course, a trace is a trace.

That huge belly is really hard to see in the financial industry.

Shen Jiannan had no choice but to vomit in his heart.

Sure enough, it is cheap and not good.

No wonder this kind of bad old man only needs an annual salary of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"Bang bang!"

Under Shen Jiannan's signal, Robert John walked into the office.

After the two shook hands respectively, they quickly entered the topic.

Very simple inquiry.

For Shen Jiannan, in fact, it was only Robert's identity that mattered to him.

The British are relatively easy to use in Hong Kong and even the British colonial countries around the world, and they are also very useful as agents.

As for the problem of ability, that is not a problem at all.

Since he is qualified for the position of Standard Chartered Bank and is bilingual in English and Chinese, this is enough.

"As you can see, our company is a very young company, and the company's influence is also very strong. The current capital under management is 100 million US dollars."

"."

"What we need now is a general manager. With Mr. Robert's qualifications, it must not be a problem."

"."

After rambling about future development, Shen Jiannan put down the resume in his hand and asked.

"Mr. John, do you have any other questions?"

"About salary."

"."

"."

"Are there any other questions?"

Of course not.

After all, Hong Kong is a British colony. It is possible to leave the bitter cold of China and keep the salary unchanged. How can Robert John have other problems.

"Welcome to Tianxiayi!""

"."
