I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 464 A distinguished guest from the Red Empire!
1979 12 Month 3 Day.

Yang Ming just came back from the Imperial Group by car.

Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Boss, a white man just came to visit you."

white people?

There are many white people in Xiangjiang, but who is this white person?

When Yang Ming passed by, he soon saw an inconspicuous white man sitting in the garden.

However, even Western whites are divided into different ethnic groups, just like Asians.

Maybe Lin Dezhong couldn't tell which ethnicity he was from, but Yang Ming could tell at a glance.

He's a white guy from Eastern Europe.

"Hello Sir Yang, very nice to meet you."

Yang Ming didn't expect the other party to know how to speak Chinese.

"Who are you? Where are you from and why are you here?"

"Sir Yang, my name is Andre. I'm from Sulian. I can be regarded as a small representative of Sulian in Xiangjiang."

Su Lian's?
The Yang family was not surprised at all.

Today, Xiangjiang has always been a mixed bag of people from all walks of life.

Yang Ming originally wanted to find them, but unexpectedly, the other party came to him instead.

"It turned out to be Mr. Andre from Sulian. Let's have dinner first, and we'll talk after dinner."

"Thank you Sir Yang."

Andre came hastily, and he began to worry about Sir Yang's attitude.

Who doesn't know that Sir Yang has a very good relationship with Country Z domestically, and also with the West.

However, Su Lian, the West, and the country Z are all very bad now.

Yang Ming invited Andre all to dinner.

When Yang Jirong and his wife saw a white man having dinner together, they were no strangers to it.

When Yang Ming and Andre finished their dinner.

The two went up to the study on the third floor.

Andre looked a little proud when he noticed the red empire shown on the world map hanging in this study.

As far as the world is concerned, besides M, the second most powerful is Su Lian.

In many respects, Su Lian did not lose to Country M either.

"Sir Yang, I am doing business with you on behalf of Su Lian."

"I don't know what business you want to do?"

"As for the game console produced by your company, we, Su Lian, also like it very much, but we have never had it in China."

Nowadays, the games of Empire Game Company are sold all over the world, except for the poorer countries, there is another place, which is Sulian.

The Sulian people like the handheld consoles produced by the Empire Game Company very much, especially the "Xiangjiang Cube". They think that it might sound better if it is changed to "Goose Ross Cube".

Yang Ming thought it was a game console business.

In fact, Su Lian has business with Europe and the United States.

For example, Sulian's crude oil has always been sold to Europe, as well as natural gas, and other businesses are basically traded with Eastern European countries, which can be regarded as a relatively closed market.

However, Yang Ming was very clear.

Bao Yugang, the world's largest shipping tycoon, once did business with Su Lian.

Bao Yugang's Global Shipping Group used to transport those light industrial products and daily necessities to Sulian Port one ship after another.

In the 60s and early 70s, Bao Yugang made a lot of money from Su Lian.

But later, Su Lian fought fiercely with the West. Considering the high risk, he gradually gave up cooperation with Su Lian.

In fact, Soviet Union's military products and heavy industry are very developed, but in terms of agriculture and light industry, it is not even comparable to ordinary small countries, which means that the development of this country is seriously deformed.

A large amount of food, and even common daily necessities, have to be imported from abroad.

Sulian exported a large amount of crude oil to foreign countries, and the wealth was not only turned into military and heavy industry products, but also used to buy food.

Since last year, global crude oil began to skyrocket, and Su Lian's wealth has also risen accordingly.This year, for the entire history of Su Lian, this year can be regarded as the peak period of Su Lian.

At the end of this year, after Su Lian beat Af Khan, it meant that Su Lian soon began to decline from the peak, and it had a lot to do with being dragged into the quagmire of Af Khan.

At this time, the Soviet Union is indeed the second most powerful country in the world besides country M, whether it is economy, technology, sports, or military, etc.

Although its economic development is particularly uneven, its strength lies there.

"Mr. Andre, just the game console?"

"If we can cooperate with the Imperial Group in other aspects, we can also cooperate." Andre said.

Yang Ming said, "I haven't been to Moscow in Sulian. If there is a chance, I would like to visit Moscow."

Does Sir Yang want to go to Moscow?

Andre was surprised.

Because he knew that many capitalists in Europe and the United States would not dare to do business with Su Lian at all, because they would be easily attacked by Europe and the United States.

Now Sir Yang actually proposed to visit Su Lian.

In Andre's view, this is an opportunity.

Especially when he learned that Sir Yang had made large-scale investment in China, and even in country Y, he knew that the Empire Group had a lot of money, so if he could cooperate with Sir Yang, it would be of great benefit to Su Lian.

Today's Sulian has no foreign capital, and everything is monopolized by state-owned capital.

"Sir Yang, do you really want to go to Moscow?"

"That's right, I'd like to see it when the time is right."

"Sir Yang, in that case, I will contact the country immediately. If there is no problem in the country, I will notify you immediately."

The country the other party mentioned was of course Su Lian.

When Yang Ming and Andre had a brief talk.

Now, this time Andre came here mainly to talk about the cooperation with the Empire Game Company. In fact, he wanted to buy 1000 million handhelds, and he hoped to buy them at a lower price.

Su Lian doesn't have that many US dollar foreign exchange, if Sir Yang is willing to accept ruble, they can buy it in US dollar at a similar exchange rate.

Today, rubles in Sulian are worth more than dollars.

In 1961, Sulian revised the exchange rate of the ruble against various currencies.According to the new exchange standard, 100 US dollars can only be exchanged for 90 rubles, that is to say, the purchasing power of the ruble has surpassed that of the US dollar.

Seriously speaking, the purchasing power of a currency needs to be accepted by all countries in the world. The exchange rate is based on the comprehensive national strength of a country and the stability of the financial order.

From another perspective, it also reflects the national strength and status of a country.

The Soviet Union's national power was in a period of steady rise, so there was naturally no problem with its own currency exchange rate.

In the early 70s, a very large oil field was discovered in the Sulian Siberia region.Almost at the same time, after the outbreak of the Fourth Middle East War, in order to protest the policies of Western powers, the oil countries decided to use oil as a weapon to fight back.

The oil countries in West Asia, on the one hand, have reduced oil production on a large scale, and on the other hand, have greatly increased the price of oil, resulting in an "oil crisis."

This oil crisis had a serious impact on the economies of Western countries in the 70s.

At this stage, Sulian Petroleum occupied a large international market share. Relying on the huge profits brought by oil, Sulian's national power entered its heyday.

In the 80s and [-]s, Sulian began to compete with country M for hegemony in Africa, South America and other regions.

Su Lian is on the offensive, while Country M is on the defensive.

Due to various constraints, country M is obviously unable to do what it wants.

At that time, Su Lian's national power was indeed very strong.

In the early 80s, the exchange rate of the Soviet ruble continued to increase.

At the highest exchange rate stage, 100 US dollars can only be exchanged for more than 60 rubles.

However, in the mid-80s, international oil prices fell sharply, and the oil era of Sulian ended.

Su Lian invested too much in all aspects, and it was impossible to adjust quickly.

At the same time, Su Lian provided too much assistance to countries such as Yue.

Over time, Su Lian had a series of problems.

In the late 80s, at the nominal exchange rate, $100 was still worth 90 rubles.

But in actual financial transactions, 100 dollars can be exchanged for more than 100 rubles.

From this time on, the purchasing power of the ruble has been inferior to that of the dollar. In 1990 (before the disintegration of the Soviet Union), 100 US dollars were exchanged for more than 180 rubles.

The actual purchasing power of the ruble has begun to decline rapidly.
