Chapter 586: Throwing the Burden and Picking Up the Burden

No one in this world is a fool, especially this time Jing Jian is facing an expert group of the Soviet superpower, the Soviet Union. How could they not consider the issue of exchange rate depreciation?

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Nona, I also feel this problem, because the risks of exchange rates are mutual. Even if I only discuss the depreciation of rubles, if I happen to depreciate when I buy goods, then my losses will be quite large; and when I depreciate when I repay the loan, your bank will also suffer a great loss. Is that true?"

"Yes!" Seeing the experts from the Foreign Trade Department nodding, Nona nodded, "That's it, so we want a fixed exchange rate."

"I think it is a relatively fixed floating exchange rate, which is relatively safe, and the risks of both parties can be avoided as much as possible." Jing Jian said with a smile, "If an agreement is signed, you can add a memorandum about the exchange rate. State the floating range of the exchange rate. For example, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the ruble is between 1:1 and 1:5. If it soars or plummets, it is calculated at the maximum and minimum value. And no matter when it is, it is settled at the instant price of the Hong Kong black market. In this way, the possible risks of both parties are within a controllable range. Of course, this is an example. The specific floating range can be discussed at that time."

Hearing this, the expert from the Ministry of Foreign Trade nodded repeatedly. There was no problem at all. It was just to find a way to increase the range of this floating range by one or twice. At this time, no matter how big the Soviets had thought, they would never imagine that the ruble would depreciate by more than 1:10 in three or five years, right? Unfortunately, in fact, in the Soviet Union, which disintegrated in five years, the depreciation of the old ruble had reached 1:6,000.

...

After the call, Nona breathed a long sigh of relief. She complained like a coquettish: "The pressure is so great, let others take responsibility. I'm actually just an assistant!"

A burst of laughter sounded, and he was very tolerant of the beautiful girl. The person in charge here smiled and comforted: "Comrade Nona, you performed very well. That Chinese would never express his feelings to an old man like me, right? Keep in touch with me, and have a leader in the specific decisions." On the one hand, you need to meet Jing Jian's taste in his preferences. After all, Jing Jian also has a nickname in the Western media - Hughes of China; on the other hand, no one can ignore Nona's background.

Amid the laughter, the person in charge continued to ask, "What do you think?"

A KGB staff member immediately reported: "The words are a bit bad. But because they are not good, they have high credibility. However, the specific needs to be determined by intelligence analysis experts."

The person in charge nodded: "I also need complete conversation materials, all of which need to be used as reference."

"yes!"

The person in charge then asked the expert from the Foreign Trade Department: "What do you think?"

The expert quickly replied: "In principle, it is feasible and complies with the business rules of Europe and the United States. And we can indeed get a lot of benefits. Of course, Mr. Bramble is very skillful in business techniques and should remind the comrades in charge of negotiations not to be deceived by his age. At least his practice of laying eggs with chickens is very appreciated. Sorry, I am from the perspective of appreciation."

"Nothing." The person in charge smiled, "I sighed a little. There are many talents among Chinese comrades. Our Soviet cadre system has something to learn! Okay, is there anything else to add? If not, then I will report to the leaders."

“…”

...

Jing Jian didn't know that his call had been analyzed in detail by the Soviet Union. After he hung up, he called William again because another country in Eastern Europe - Romania.

During the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Romania belongs to a relatively special country. It seems that the replacement of new and old governments has been completed overnight.

On December 15, a fierce conflict between police and local residents occurred in the Romanian border city of Timisoara, where both sides used weapons, causing casualties. When the domestic unrest began to spread, President Ceausescu seemed to be quite calm. On December 18, he flew to Iran as usual for a three-day state visit.

However, on December 20, a terrible news went out of the way in Romania: security forces carried out a "massacre" in Timisoara, killing thousands of people, and arresting or missing. That night, Ceausescu had just returned from Tehran and immediately delivered a speech on the TV station, severely denounced the Timisoara turmoil as "organized by imperialist and revengeist groups and foreign spy agencies" and attempted to "stop the development of socialism and regress the country to foreign rule."

But at this time the masses were no longer interested in listening to his speech. On this day, a demonstration against Ceausescu broke out in Bucharest. People shouted: "Don't Ceausescu!" "You need freedom!" "You need bread!" The demonstrators rushed into the bookstore and burned Ceausescu's works.

At the same time, the Romanian "National Saving Front" led by Iliescu was established and announced the dissolution of all Ceausescu's regime. Immediately afterwards, the security forces supporting Ceausescu had launched fierce street fighting with the troops and masses who opposed him in the capital city. On December 22, the "Unriors" occupied radio and television stations, declaring that Ceausescu's whereabouts were unknown. In fact, on the 23rd, the Ceausescu and his wife had been arrested, and just two days later, they were secretly executed.

However, suddenly gained national power, and the "National-Salvation Front" government didn't know what to do. In addition to filling the shops with agricultural products and other commodities that were originally exported, which attracted cheers from the masses, what is the most critical economic issue?

So in a hurry, they remembered the case of Poland and Bulgaria, and simply sold the entire theater system and its staff to the Europa League theater chain like they were shaking their bags. The offer was only 10 million US dollars, and the requirements were greatly reduced. More than 8,600 staff members were not allowed to lay off employees within five years. Of course, the other Lion's big talk was also fierce, and they wanted to deposit US$15 million in the Swiss account, which was even much higher than the public selling price. Overnight, the theater market in an Eastern European country also fell into Jing Jian's hands.

After hearing such good news, Jing Jian was quite happy: "Hahaha, William, then agree to them. Also, they have other requirements and want to sell other state-owned assets at a low price. However, we are basically intermediaries, leaving all the big heads and fat meat to our friends in the United States, Germany and Japan, so let's have some soup. We only need the entry of theaters and white lotus products, and at most gnaw a few bones. Remember, we must still ensure our reputation."
