"Nona, you should know that my Hong Kong Dajiang Daily Chemical will be listed in January, and the shares in my hands should be valued at more than HK$700 million..."

Jing Jian was drinking strong tea and talking on the phone with Nona. Although it was not for Wang Huaqiong or Yangcheng Investment and Merchants, after he was about to leave Jingying, Jing Jian would focus his work on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

"I need a five-year long-term loan of one billion rubles for the shares of Dajiang Daily Chemical. Everything is based on the commercial process and through the Hong Kong branch of your Soviet Foreign Trade Bank. All the loans will be purchased for the complete set of equipment and all technical information of the Jill Truck Assembly Plant. The excess will be used for the procurement of spare parts, and the other will be used for the procurement of other commodities. In other words, this loan will be used for the procurement of all the equipment in your Soviet Union."

Nona on the other end of the phone seemed quite angry: "You use 700 million Hong Kong dollars, stocks that can rise and fall at any time that are less than 100 million US dollars, but they are not cash, and they actually want to borrow 1 billion rubles? Bramble, you are such a gentleman!"

This principle is actually very simple. The official exchange rate of the US dollar and rubles is 1:1.8 now. Jing Jian actually wanted to use less than 100 million stocks as collateral to borrow about 600 million US dollars of rubles? Imagine if you use commercial means a little, and say to the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank: Just take the collateral! I just don’t have the money to pay it back! I made more than 500 million US dollars here and there. There may not be any commercial bank in the world that would agree to such a loan?

Jing Jian smiled and disagreed with Nona's attitude: "Beautiful lady, business behavior needs to be considered for commercial risks. More than a month ago, your ruble had just depreciated by three times (on October 28, 1989, the Soviet Union announced the implementation of a double exchange rate. The official exchange rate of the Soviet ruble depreciated sharply for the first time in nearly 30 years, from 1 US dollar to 0.6 ruble to 1 US dollar to 1.80 ruble). In fact, the international black market price is even lower. Is there no risk of a significant depreciation again? In addition to these 700 million Hong Kong dollars stocks, you also get almost half of the 30% and 15% of the shares of the car factory for free. You can also use the fixed assets of the car factory as collateral. In fact, it is me who should consider the risks, not you!"

Nona's tone was vented. Sometimes she was not good at it, at least she was less righteous. Looking at her side, more than a dozen officials from various Soviet departments who were listening to the records, Nona once again insisted: "I just think that your conditions are too harsh. I personally would not accept it."

Jing Jian smiled. Not hanging up the phone directly was a victory, which at least also represents the attitude of continuing the negotiations: "Dear Nona, do I need to remind you again? There are three cooperations between us, and these three are completely a whole. The first is this automobile factory. The second is to borrow $100 million in interest-free for commercial institutions established by the Soviet government for five years, and I have given the first 10 million yuan. This should be sincerity, right? The third is to purchase Soviet goods with a total amount of 300 million rubles, and I hope to obtain ruble loans for these goods. The equivalent import of Chinese goods of the same value is just hope, and there are no mandatory terms, and you can choose to collect foreign exchange of the same value. And the first batch of five hundred trucks have been ordered, has the US dollar paid? This is sincerity? And I have shown so much sincerity, how do you perform? I can only express quite regrets about this."

If you want to take the initiative in business negotiations, the more complex the agreement, the better. If you are not careful, you can get the negotiating opponent into a trap. This is the same with Jing Jian's agreement. After all, Nona was inexperienced and she was already dizzy when she heard it. She looked at the experts around her like help. The experts from the Foreign Trade Department and the Commercial Department made a gesture of delaying time and quickly recorded the calculations.

Nona understood it, and her expression changed and she smiled gently: "Bramble, I'm going to get angry with your attitude? You and I want to be friendly between China and the Soviet Union!"

"Haha." Jing Jian took a sip of tea slowly, "Nona, tell you something, you should know that Chom of the CIA? He once asked me and asked me about my views on the relationship between China, the United States and the Soviet Union. Do you know how I answered?"

"Oh?" Nona looked up, "I'm very interested."

"I told him that the Soviet Union has a cold economically, and the United States wants to turn a cold into a terminal illness and completely eliminate your Soviet Union. But we China are different. We hope you are weak and reduce the threat on mainland China, but we don't want you to collapse. The Soviet Union continued the Cold War. We China can get along with each other and take the opportunity to develop."

"Ah..." Such naked words immediately made someone beside Nona scream, and even the experts who were calculating stopped writing and looked up in surprise. The person in charge of the KGB present immediately glared at the man fiercely and signaled everyone to remain absolutely quiet.

Jing Jian on the other end of the phone seemed unresolved and continued to smile: "Did you see it? American imperialism can be eliminated in the future. What we China wants to do is to provide limited rescue, and what you want is to cure it completely. Different national interests are different, and at least China is here to rescue. You, the Soviet Union, need rescue, and there is a basis for cooperation at this point. This should be your Sino-Soviet friendship, right? Haha, sorry for my straightforwardness. Although I am just a businessman, if I violate national interests, the Chinese government will not make me feel good, right?"

Jing Jian's words were very harsh, but the words were rough but not rough, which made Nona and others look a little ugly.

Finally, an expert calculated clearly and immediately wrote the word "exchange rate" in front of Nona. Nona nodded and continued to ask: "Then we need to ensure that we must avoid the exchange rate risks in the contract. If you agree, you can negotiate the mortgage issue again."

In fact, in such an agreement, if it is a general export contract, Jing Jian's requirements are all in line with international business laws. The Soviet Union could obtain foreign exchange through exports, domestic factories could sell goods to obtain funds, and the Soviet Union's foreign trade banks even obtained interest through loans. This is completely the best of all.

However, when the exchange rate is stable, the problem is simply ignored. Haven’t you seen that many countries, including China, provide interest-free loans to backward countries called “aid”? Would you rather lose interest on banks or even lose a certain amount of interest, you can get the other two benefits.

But in this specific agreement, the big problem of ruble depreciation suddenly appeared!
