Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1179: A pot of porridge, just slurp it yourself

Perhaps Li Jiankun gave Ye a shot of chicken blood, which made the radical faction headed by Ye suddenly become extremely excited and launched a series of activities to openly criticize the ruling faction headed by Ge.

Other factions were also mobilized and each sought to make their own presence felt.

You should know that there were more than 500 political parties of various kinds in the Soviet Union, and more than 60,000 unofficial organizations and groups.

A pot of messy porridge, gurgling.

Storm is coming.

At this point in time, Li Jiankun was absolutely certain that he had really sped up history by a large margin. In his previous life, even though there were still storms at this stage, they were far less severe than this.

This inevitably made him feel a little frightened.

After all, this is one of the major events in modern history.

He began to turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and while completing the deal with the Soviet Union in private, he developed his banking business, opened several branches, and accumulated small amounts of money. Of course, the amount of dollars exchanged also increased in large quantities, becoming an astronomical figure that was getting bigger and bigger.

During this period, Li Jiankun accepted an interview with the Soviet mainstream media and expressed two views with great sorrow:
1. Appealing to the Soviet people to believe in the ruble, the general meaning is that the ruble is backed by the Soviet Union's rich financial resources, and deliberately mentioning that the Soviet Union has legislated to issue the ruble in full accordance with the method of linking it to productivity. Therefore, it is concluded that the ruble is very reliable, the ruble has a very high gold content, and the ruble is worth holding.

2. Condemn other foreign banks that entered the Soviet Union for being hypocritical and failing to fulfill their obligations in fulfilling their promises to help the Soviet Union build international financial markets.

When it came to the emotional part, Li Jiankun beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling full of grievance. He expressed worriedly that relying on only one bank willing to implement international standards and not discriminate between the Soviet Union and the ruble, his Huaqiang Taikoo Bank was under tremendous pressure and its dollar reserves were in crisis.

I don’t know how many people listened to these words.

However, Li Jiankun's reputation in the Soviet Union continued to rise.

One newspaper described him as "the Soviet Union's best business partner."

From high-ranking officials to common people in the Soviet Union, everyone had a very good impression of Li Jiankun and spoke highly of him.

Even the managers of Western banks, when interviewed by the media, all gave Li Jiankun a thumbs up and full of praise, and said that it was not that they did not want to do their best, but they really were unable to do so because they were not as rich as Mr. Li.

There's nothing wrong with it.

The richest man in the world is Jack Lee, not them.

Well, they praised it.

Privately, a group of Western capitalists were secretly happy. The most representative of them was naturally Judy. It was not easy for them to show their excitement openly, so they often looked bitter and resentful in public. However, in the luxurious apartment where they stayed, they were partying every night and were having a great time.

Li Jiankun knew very well that several other foreign banks were now making small moves, breaking up the rubles into small pieces and bringing them to his bank to exchange for dollars, especially Chase Bank, which had the largest amount of transactions.

It goes without saying who is fanning the flames.

Li Jiankun welcomes everyone who comes.

Now that he knew that Judy was already dead and had played pretty wildly, he became less anxious about dealing with this old witch.

He wanted to see how Judy ended up.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he can win the game.

Frankly speaking, there are many risky moves in this game. One wrong move can lead to a complete loss.

This is more than just a heartbeat. So far, Li Jiankun has invested hundreds of billions of US dollars, and this is just the beginning.

For the vast majority of people, it cannot be described as playing with one's life.

Fortunately, risks are proportional to benefits, which is an eternal law.

As summer turns to autumn, the third step of the new round of economic reform plan that was agreed upon earlier by Western capital and the ruling party has yet to arrive.

No one dared to urge.

The sky over Moscow was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

The wind and rain over the past few days have gradually evolved into a huge storm that is about to pour down.

After entering late autumn, Li Jiankun spent most of his time in the Red House. In addition to giving remote commands, he also trained the special forces recruited by Popov to be more manipulable in order to deal with the unrest that might occur next.

He then arranged these people to work in the bank, including key figures such as Ayan and Suwa.

On the last day of 1989, at Zhukovsky Airport, a special plane was waiting to take off. The take-off time was in the evening. Li Jiankun used the daytime to meet some people.

There is Yanaev, the leader of the conservatives.

There was KGB boss Kryuchkov.

The last one is Ye.

In a quiet room in a building of the radical group led by Ye in the south of Moscow.

After seeing Li Jiankun again, Ye said with deep emotion: "Brother, if you were in politics, all of us would be fine."

Li Jiankun smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's not that I can predict the future, you are just the ones who are in control. From my perspective as a bystander, the internal contradictions in the Soviet Union are simply too intense. The changes he implemented have touched the fundamental interests of the entire Soviet social system and all social classes, and he is currently helpless, so he is destined not to stay in that position for long."

Yeh agreed with this, but still said sincerely: "You are still modest, there are too many bystanders."

His eyes suddenly brightened and he grinned, "And your speculation."

"I came here today just to talk to you about this," said Li Jiankun.

Ye was very interested and raised his hand to signal him to continue.

Li Jiankun restrained his smile and said seriously, "I want to confirm one thing with you, so that I can decide whether my bank should continue to operate in this country without any discrimination as it does now, or even whether to withdraw."

Although some branches have been added now, all of them are located in Russia.

Ye was horrified and said, "Of course! And you can't leave, brother!"

Leaving aside external factors, Huaqiang Taikoo Bank is definitely the undisputed largest foreign bank in the Soviet Union and the leader of the free economic market.

He has learned the news that Jack Lee's private plane arrived at Zhukovsky Airport yesterday. He thought that as it was near the end of the year, the neighbors next door had a very important festival every year and emphasized family reunion, so he planned to go home for the New Year.

So this is the plan?
Ye said worriedly, "Let's be honest. If what you said comes true, I need you more than he does. You can't leave me at this critical moment."

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "That's too much. Without me, you still have the West."

Ye shook his head. "They are not as upright as you."

Li Jiankun got to the point and said, "You know, I have a lot of rubles in my hands now."

Ye said solemnly, "Russia is different from other regions. The ruble has always been our currency. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, Russia's currency will not change!" Li Jiankun waved his hand, "That's not what I want to say. Your Western friends won't suggest this either. After all, they also have a lot of rubles in their hands. But I guess if you come to power, they will have a common demand with you."

Ye was puzzled, "What?"

Li Jiankun paused and said: "Let the ruble depreciate."

Ye was stunned and said, "How could I possibly want the ruble to devalue?"

"You don't want to, but you have to."

Ye carefully savored this sentence, and then said with a complicated expression: "You mean, by then, what will be in front of me will be a huge mess, and I will be like him now, helpless, and issuing more rubles can solve the urgent problem."

Li Jiankun nodded. "So what I want to confirm is whether you will abolish some reasonable laws of the former Soviet Union and use this method to quench thirst with poison. If you do this, it will be extremely harmful to people like me who do business seriously."

Ye frowned slightly, but did not answer directly. He asked, "You said they also want to devalue the ruble?"

"What else?" Li Jiankun spread his hands. "You don't really think that when the people's savings period is up, they are willing to redeem their savings deposits at an equal or even higher value, right?"

"This, this, this..." Ye opened his eyes wide in shock, as if he had seen through a huge conspiracy.

He originally thought that Western capital absorbed a large amount of rubles just to prepare for the acquisition and investment of enterprises in the future. This is nothing, because many enterprises are really not well managed, and capitalists are particularly good at enterprise management. In this way, they may be able to create a new situation, for example, making them no longer so weak in the light industry.

Who would have thought that Western capital actually had other plans?
Li Jiankun added: "You don't have to believe what I say now. Whether it is true or not will be revealed later. I just want an answer now. If what I say is true, what will you do then?"

Ye's expression was uncertain. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't let them get their wish. Yes, it is true that in many aspects, I need to rely on them. After all, we don't understand free economy, and they are the best in the world. For this reason, I and the people don't mind giving them some benefits, but this does not mean that they have wolfish ambitions, and we can accept it!"

Li Jiankun smiled knowingly and said, "It's the best if you can think this way. You should understand that what I said just now was not nonsense. Without considering productivity, wantonly increasing the currency is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It seeks temporary convenience but will cause endless troubles. I hope you will hold on to this pass no matter how difficult it is."

Ye nodded heavily.

Li Jiankun stood up.

"So, brother, how about you?" Ye asked hurriedly.

“My bank will continue to operate in your country.”

Ye was very happy.

It’s not that Li Jiankun believed his promise. Although he wanted to get a promise in today’s meeting, the main purpose was to feed him a pill. It was not a bad intention, but a wake-up pill.

If Ye had realized the conspiracy of Western capital at this stage and been more careful, how would things develop later?
Li Jiankun didn't know.

But he knew that when his words were verified later, Ye realized that the so-called Western friends were actually a group of jackals and would only trust him more.

"Oh, right."

At the last moment, Li Jiankun seemed to suddenly think of something and lowered his voice and said, "You know my interpersonal relationships here. Unfortunately, I saw something. Maybe there will be a change. This is why I want to go home for the New Year. If I am inexplicably dragged into it, I obviously have no involvement. Wouldn't it be wronged to death for me? It's not against you, but for you, it should be an opportunity."

change of weather?

Ye was shocked.

Then his eyes lit up frighteningly, and he walked closer, shook Li Jiankun's hand tightly, and said in a serious tone: "Brother, thank you for your kindness!"

After Li Jiankun left.

Yeh sat back on the replica nineteenth century leather sofa, his thoughts running wild.

The conservatives can't sit still and want to do something big?
If that’s true, that would be great!

Two dogs fight, play off.

Not long after, he punched the sofa, "Damn it! They have another conspiracy?!"

----

There are no flights from Moscow to Beijing these days, so a special plane is indeed much more convenient. Li Jiankun's special plane has already applied for the route and landing rights at the Capital Airport in advance.

Suddenly, I came back from the Soviet Union and had to take off my fur coat. I suddenly found that it was quite warm in the capital in January.

Li Jiankun spent the transition between years on the plane.

As he walked down the gangway, Li Jiankun took a deep breath of the capital's winter air and muttered to himself, "It's the 1990s..."

Fugui handed over a dog-skin hat and a pair of sunglasses from behind, "Cover it up."

Li Jiankun smiled bitterly and had to live a life of shame again. This was quite different in the Soviet Union. Even if he appeared in public places and attracted some attention, it was all within an acceptable range.

After covering himself up so that even his mother couldn't recognize him, Li Jiankun said self-deprecatingly: "Do you think anyone would scold me?"

Fugui curled his lips and said, "What have you done in the country this year? It's like being a coward for a year, I hope you don't scold me even more."

"Depend on!"

Li Jiankun disagreed with the words "Fugui". Although he was not here, his career in China had been developing steadily.

At Zhongguancun Hua Xia Silicon Valley Company, Chen Chunxian led the team to work hard on the fifth-generation lithography machine, which was very difficult. Even though Li Jiankun had an idea and threw out an immersion solution as if from a dream, and they had a direction, it was still difficult to figure it out.

Fortunately, there were some results.

All we need now is time.

Over in the Huadian Industrial Park in the Special Administrative Region, although the Longteng I chip is still losing money, it is already selling well around the world. In the field of DRAM chips, there is no competitive manufacturer now. There are only a few chip manufacturers in the United States and South Korea in the world. They are losing money together and struggling to survive, and there are official shadows behind them.

It doesn’t matter. Li Jiankun plans to lose money for another year.

Kill or cripple.

The China Huadian Research Institute has made a major breakthrough in the field of logic chips this year, but it is keeping it secret for the time being. Within three years at the latest, Chinese computer manufacturers will no longer need to purchase computer CPUs from abroad.

So how can you say he did nothing?

After saying goodbye to the beautiful flight attendants on his private plane, Li Jiankun quickened his pace, eager to go home. The first person he wanted to see was not his wife, but little Xile.

My second sister’s daughter.

The child was born without telling him, otherwise he would have rushed back. A week after Xiao Xile was born, his second sister called him and asked him to give the child a name, after all, the child's father was no longer around.

He thought, then let’s live in peace and joy.

Li Jiankun was quite dissatisfied with this matter, and felt very bad for his whole family. However, he also understood that his family was afraid of delaying his important event, but in Li Jiankun's heart, there was nothing more important than this.
