This is a crazy period. As long as you have money and connections, there is nothing you can't buy, from bullets to missiles and satellites. It doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always buy what you want. thing.
The independent Ukraine seems to be afraid that Russia will snatch what it has, so it simply pulls out all the things that can be sold and sells them, putting the money into its own pocket to be safe.
Yang Dongxu had never thought about carrying him to Ukraine in person, but because he needed to have a good talk with Ivan, after returning to China and having a deep talk with his grandfather, he still took a plane and flew to Ukraine.
Ivan is no longer in Ukraine, but Natasha is. People who come to Ukraine to buy things are not only foreigners, but also many Soviets. The world is always like this. There are always people who have endless food and wine at home, and he But people are starving to death all around them all the time.
"I really didn't expect that we would meet again one day." When I saw Natasha Yang Dongxu again, my mood was obviously different. The last time we met, there was a sense of impatience, but this time there was expectation. People's moods always follow their own interests. in constant change.
"If you want to see me, you can anytime." With a professional smile on her face, Natasha leaned forward and hugged Yang Dongxu.
To be honest, being held by such a beautiful woman, Yang Dongxu felt a little uncomfortable all over. This discomfort was not because of what he had in mind, but because Natasha was too tall. He was currently 1.8 meters tall and stood next to Natasha. Tasha still felt a little pressure around her, and her long legs had the feeling of being all legs except for the neck as described on the internet.
"Is there really no way for Ivan to come over?" Entering the hotel room, Yang Dongxu took off his coat. The weather in Ukraine in October was comparable to that in Yanjing. He had to wear a thick coat in the morning and a short shirt at noon. It's too hot.
Compared to talking about things with Natasha, Yang Dongxu undoubtedly prefers to deal with Ivan. Although the old fox is very cunning, he can always grasp the right balance to achieve a win-win situation. But Natasha was different. There was a giant standing behind her, and she was inherently at a disadvantage when talking about cooperation with her, especially now that he still wanted something from her.
"Mr. Ivan is busy in Russia right now. He really can't come over for the time being. If you have to talk to him about something, you can tell me first and I will explain it to you." Natasha didn't ask Yang Dongxu just because he asked. Ivan was annoyed, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
"It's okay, it's the same thing with anyone." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded to Du Suo.
Du Suo glanced at Natasha leading the people out, and Natasha nodded to the assistant behind her. They were the only two people left in the room.
Yang Dongxu stood up and poured a glass of water for Natasha first, then he pondered for a moment and said: "I came to you this time mainly because I want to buy some things. Of course, these things can also be bought from other people, but it will cost more." It’s just a setback, I won’t make it too difficult for you. But what I hope is that the purchases can be settled in RMB.”
In fact, Yang Dongxu approached Ivan with the intention of dismantling some money at first, but now the Soviet Union is in turmoil and the ruble is depreciating rapidly. At this time, the U.S. dollar is a hard currency, and he is in short supply of U.S. dollars. Ivan is also in short supply, and cannot get the U.S. dollars. It was better not to give up the ruble, so after thinking about it, he came up with the idea of settling in RMB.
"This is actually the biggest embarrassment." Natasha looked at Yang Dongxu and said.
Naturally, the RMB has to stand aside relative to the US dollar. After all, if the RMB can be widely used here, then people above will not ask him to borrow foreign exchange.
"This method does sound a bit overwhelming, but I think it is not impossible for you. After all, transferring money to China is also a good way."
"Compared to China, I feel that Japan has more prospects now, and even South Korea is better than China at present." Natasha spoke very directly. Although the expression on her face still did not change at all, she was obviously a little unhappy.
After all, with Yang Dongxu's current status, he is not shameless enough to ask those behind him to abandon the more favorable US dollar settlement for RMB settlement.
"That seems to be the case at the moment, but I am more optimistic about my motherland. Of course, I cannot impose my optimism on you, so I will use one person's favor as a reward." Yang Dongxu was not surprised at all by Natasha's reaction. He continued to speak without changing his expression.
"Then this person must have a lot of favors. Is this person the President of the United States?" Natasha said with a hint of ridicule in her tone.
"Not the president of the United States, but he could very well be your future president."
"Yeltsin?" Natasha frowned, then stood upright from the sofa and her face became extremely serious.
Although the Soviet Union has not announced its disintegration to the outside world, when Ukraine also became independent, the disintegration was inevitable and irreversible. Now it is just missing the formality of announcing it to the outside world.
At this time, who can become the president of Russia, which has inherited 70% of the Soviet political legacy, has always been the focus of many people's attention. The most dazzling person in this spotlight is undoubtedly Yeltsin, the man who opposed Gorbachev from the beginning. To be honest, this person played a key role in Ukraine's separation from the Soviet Union so quickly.
Some people have also paid attention to Yeltsin in the past. After all, a guy who can stand up to Gorbachev and still get along well is obviously not simple and needs serious attention from all countries.
But before, no one thought that the Soviet Union, a superpower, would disintegrate. Therefore, the angle and intensity of attention were different, and the relationship with Yeltsin was naturally far and near.
And when Ukraine became independent and everyone knew that the disintegration of the Soviet Union had become a fact, and turned around and wanted to build relations with Yeltsin, Yeltsin had already established his footing and was making great progress, and there was no need for icing on the cake to share the fruits of his victory.
The people behind Natasha undoubtedly wanted to get close to Yeltsin, but were unable to do so. After all, there is nothing more beneficial at this time than building a good relationship with the next president.
"Some things will be settled in RMB, and I want a loan of US$2 billion, which will be repaid in rubles over a ten-year period." Yang Dongxu also sat up straight and looked at Natasha.
This condition is undoubtedly a big deal for the lion. Anyone with a sane mind will understand that if a US dollar loan is taken at this time and later repaid in rubles, the price difference will be more than ten times.
But Yang Dongxu felt that the condition he offered was not too big at all, because if the people behind Natasha could get through to Yeltsin, the amount of benefit they would receive would be many times the US$2 billion. This can still be seen in tangible form. benefits, the invisible benefits may be even greater.
The favors he has with Yeltsin have been slowly accumulated since he started doing business in the 1980s. Such favors will be completely consumed once used. If Yang Dongxu wants to develop in Russia in the future, he can only wait until someone continues to accumulate favors. Only when the emperor takes the throne will he take the initiative.
So before any emperor ascended the throne, he had no foundation in Russia. In other words, this was a one-time deal. After that, everything would go back to its own way. Under such circumstances, he naturally needed a suitable person. price tag.
"This is impossible." Natasha refused without even thinking.
They already have to bear a lot of risk by using RMB to settle their transactions, because it is impossible to determine whether the RMB will depreciate as hopelessly as the ruble in the future.
This understanding is now a common understanding in the world. After all, the Soviet Union, the socialist superpower, has fallen. As a socialist China, can China be better off in the future?
Therefore, in Natasha's view, RMB settlement was a direct loss, and she had never thought of making a profit in this way. Even though the RMB settlement is in losses, Yang Dongxu still needs a loan of US$2 billion. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"Sign a gambling agreement. If in ten years the benefits you exchange for RMB and the favors you sell are not worth the money, I will still repay the US$2 billion in US dollars.
If you benefit, then the repayment method will be settled in rubles, and the settlement will be the exchange rate when the ruble depreciates to its lowest point. Of course, the exchange rate at the time of loan will be based on the ratio when the ruble is at its highest. "
"You seem to be very confident in your country." Natasha frowned and stared into Yang Dongxu's eyes, as if she wanted to see something in his eyes.
"At least my country is very stable now. Compared with the Soviet Union, which is about to fall apart, it has more hope of development. Even if it cannot develop in the future, the money I can earn from investing US$2 billion in 10 years can still be enough for me. It’s full of money, you know I’m very good at investing.” Yang Dongxu winked at Natasha.
These words made Natasha even more confused. She was a little unsure whether Yang Dongxu was interested in the development of his country, as if he saw the disintegration of the Soviet Union, or whether he simply wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. 2 billion US dollars in investment. After all, investment is really what he is good at. Although she had losses and gains in the previous cooperation between the two parties, it was generally quite pleasant.
"I need to ask the higher-ups for instructions on this." Natasha said after pondering for a moment.
"Please." Yang Dongxu made a gesture of invitation.
Natasha glanced at Yang Dongxu, took the phone and went to the back room.
The call lasted only two minutes, and Natasha walked out of the room: "The superiors agreed to this transaction, but the amount settled in RMB must not exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars, and this amount is ours We will not guarantee the transaction amount that we can affect. We will not guarantee the transaction that cannot be affected. A loan of 2 billion US dollars can be received at any time if you give it an account."
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"No one can hack our money." Natasha also looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile.
At the same time, this sentence also expresses another meaning, that is, if the price paid in RMB settlement cannot be returned in the future, then the debt that Yang Dongxu will repay when the loan matures is definitely not just 2 billion US dollars plus that pitiful interest. So simple.
Yang Dongxu obviously knew this matter in his heart, so the two parties did not say it out loud. It was better to keep such things tacitly understood. After all, now that the cooperation is achieved, it should be celebrated happily instead of talking about those disappointing things.
"If possible, I hope to get your help when buying other things that you can't influence. Of course, I'm not asking you to guarantee anything, it's just a proper matchmaking. I will pay a certain amount of agency fees based on the amount of the things purchased. .”
"I'm happy to help you with this matter." Natasha smiled happily.
