Chapter 348 Let them come
Back to the embassy, Sikongguan went to communicate with the members of the banking group. Nearly 10 of them represent 6 different banks. Although they have their own interests, they always need to be closer.
Su Cheng looked thoughtful all the way. When he arrived at the embassy, he also lay on the sofa in the living room of the embassy. Regardless of the surprised eyes of the staff coming and going, he perfected his ideas.
Gu Hongjun guarded Sucheng conscientiously, holding an apple in his hand, chewing juice, and his eyes dripping at everyone who approached, which made people feel like they were looking for prey. After going back and down, the people who passed by the living room all walked around him.
Dinner is provided by the embassy. In addition to a small amount of pork, it is pickled cucumbers and tomato sauce, with onion soup and Russian bread, which has a unique flavor. All the people present were running around non-stop and hurried to Moscow. At this moment, they relaxed and ate happily.
At the end of the meal, the counselor came with tea, which made people withdraw the table and brought a few high chairs, arranged in a circle, making it look like a salon. Then he sat down and laughed, "I just received an official letter from the Russian Ministry of Finance. In the next four weeks, they will examine the strength of the Bank of China Group to decide whether to accept the loan conditions of China. You can start preparing. Congratulations, this is the first shot of the [China] national financial business to go abroad.
Everyone in the banking group knew that it was not, but they still received his congratulations with a shy face and high-fives with a smile on their faces. Sikongguan said with satisfaction, "It's so smooth!"
"It's really going well since I came to the Soviet Union. This is the fastest move of Russian bureaucrats. It seems that they really need supplies and money. When the counselor laughed, he also had a funny and humorous style. It was the diplomat in people's impression.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Who doesn't need it?"
Several bank experts laughed and relaxed. After all, they came to the Soviet Union because they were in favor of the Soviet city's plan. Now things are going well. It also shows that their move is correct, which can be called a good start.
The counselor chatted a few more words. Drink it. Tea, put down his smile and said, "Then, I'll reply to them. Ready to be inspected? You should have brought the relevant qualification documents. In the Russian Ministry of Finance, there are not only former Soviet officials, but also Americans and Europeans. They will probably read it. Therefore, on the one hand, your documents should be able to explain their strength, and on the other hand, they should not disclose state secrets.
Si Kongguan and others looked at each other in consternation: "What kind of information is considered a leak of state secrets? What doesn't count?"
"Don't give what you shouldn't give, and don't miss what you should give."
"Western countries are still blocking us. Let Americans or Europeans censor our banks? Will there be discrimination?" Si Kongguan skipped the security issue and couldn't help looking at Su Cheng. Although he always felt that he was too young, when there was a problem. The first thing he thought of was Sucheng.
The counselor said first: "This is the situation now. The Russian government does need supplies, but the first thing they need is an international payment currency to stabilize the ruble. All we can provide is RMB, so they must be inclined to banks in Western countries. This is also what they have discussed for a long time. Of course. The Russian government has reached its current situation. They want to grasp any straw. They also want our things, but they can't help worrying. For example, the purpose of the national loan, the strength of the national bank group, and the ideas of Western countries. In a word, the situation is quite complicated. The ideas of both sides It is approaching, and Russia's concerns should also be understandable.
"Can you talk to the Russian side directly?" It's not the first time for Sikongguan to go abroad.
"This is Russia's official opinion. If you are worried about safety, you can ask the military office for help.
"It's not just safety..." Si Kongguan said with embarrassment, but his family knew his own affairs. Their six banks were combined, and none of them had the strength. Maybe it's a little more confident than the RMB. Compared with the US dollar, it's equivalent to showing your belly to others. At that time, the attitude of the other party will definitely change.
Another expert had a similar idea, sighing, "It still doesn't work. Otherwise, forget it."
The counselor did not know the ins and outs of the [China] Bank of China group and the [true] purpose. As he thought, the [China] Bank of China group came, which was a cute show. Therefore, after listening to the expert's words, he couldn't help laughing and saying, "It's not funny. Do you really want to make a loan in Russia?"
10 representatives of Jiasu City nodded together.
The counselor was stunned, spread out his hand and said, "Then there is nothing I can do. The Russian Ministry of Finance and the Russian State Bank are the natural institutions that manage finance. If you want to give them a loan, you can only through them, and you must submit documents and qualification documents.
Sikongg gritted his teeth, gently rubbed his two fingers, and whispered, "Can you use other means?"
The meaning of the word is bribery.
The counselor coughed violently and said, "Don't ask me about this. Although the Russian official **...** is very powerful.
"How big is it?"
"The Soviets invited by our embassy were hospitalized when his father was sick. There was no charge for taking medicine, surgery or hospitalization. All of them were reimbursed by the state, but he gave the doctor a red envelope of more than 4,000 US dollars." The counselor is not particularly shy about this problem. He works in the Russian embassy, and bribing Russians is one of his jobs. In other words, only by bribing Russians can it work properly. Among embassies around the world, there are only a few domestic laws that prohibit bribery of people from other countries, while in other countries, this is a gray area.
Sikong Guan gritted his teeth and said, "$4,000 for the doctor? So much?"
"In the past, the ruble was valuable, but later the ruble was worthless. Doctors asked for foreign exchange." The counselor spread out his hand and said, "Now Russia is very chaotic. It can't be done with a little money. You'd better report it to the top."
The implication is that if you use money to open the way, you will need a huge sum of money that they can't decide.
Si Kongguan shook his head, looked at Su Cheng again, and asked loudly, "Su Dong, what are you thinking?"
"Oh, I thought, these doctors are so bold. Is the Soviet Union a system of free medical expenses?
"Well, as long as you are in the hospital, whether it's taking medicine, injections, infusion surgery, hospitalization, etc., you don't need to pay money. So... the doctor will ask for a red envelope at about the same price. The counselor explained and said with a sarcastic smile, "The previous ruble is very useful. Their ordinary people earn two or three thousand rubles a month, which is equivalent to six or seven thousand dollars, so giving thousands of dollars of red envelopes is the same as giving hundreds of red envelopes to the hospital. The Soviet monetary system is paralyzed. Whether the patients are paralyzed or not, they still have to come to the hospital. Look at the street, the highest-priced vegetables and fruits are sold in the family home where the doctors live.
In countries without a sufficient regulatory system, free medical care is a hotbed of **.
Because Su Cheng is young, he basically doesn't go to the hospital. Occasionally, he has a slight cold, and he also asked people to send medicine. He really didn't know this.
He shook his head and turned to say, "In this case, we can't go their way, so we can only go our own way."
"How to do it?" Si Kongguan immediately asked.
"Let the Russians come to us and give them some pressure, so that they don't censor too carefully."
Sikong Guan nodded and asked, "Do you want to go through political means?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but it's not that complicated. Let's sell the goods."
Si Kongguan said in surprise, "Why is that almost the same?"
"The counselor understands that although the current Russia is terrible, it is indeed the most [people's] period in Russian history. Well, the power is in the ordinary people." Su Cheng broke his finger and said, "The former rulers, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has been declared illegal. Yeltsin and other oppositions are only in power for the first time. If you want me to say, they are now like our [luck] period. Anyone can turn over and become masters, and no one dares to offend most people. So... let's sell the goods, let the Moscow people take the initiative to ask for a loan, and then let the Ministry of Finance and the bank come to talk to us.
The counselor clapped his hands and said with a smile, "What Su Dong said is wonderful. Unexpectedly, you have just arrived in Moscow, but you have studied Russian politics in depth.
Si Kongguan had no doubt about him and praised him: "Su Dong is already an expert on the international situation. In this case, how can we implement it specifically?
"Do you remember the vendors I saw today? You said, if we send [China] domestic goods, the price is cheap and the quality is good, can we sell better?
"Of course."
"In this case, let's sell a large number of goods to these dealers, set a differential price, a high ruble price, and a relatively low US dollar price, and the lowest price is the RMB price. At the same time, tell them that our [China] government is ready to assist a large amount of RMB to the State Bank of Russia and let them Bank exchange, loan!"
"In this case, the State Bank of Russia is going to find a way to find RMB?" Si Kongguan said, "However, what if the government interferes? It seems to be a little illegal for us to do so."
"Where is the violation? We are indeed ready to take out a large amount of RMB, as long as the Russian National Bank is willing to lend it to them. Of course, with conditions, the State Bank of Russia should also allow us to operate deposit and loan business in Russia. At the same time, the State Bank of Russia should lend us an equivalent ruble. Su Cheng paused for a moment, smiled and said, "At that time, the State Bank of Russia will return our RMB, and we will return the Ruble of the State Bank of Russia. Everyone will not be in arrears, and everyone will calculate their own accounts."
Si Kongguan pondered for a moment, nod and said, "I think it's okay. If I were Russian, I would agree. Our requirements are far worse than that of Western banks.
"Well, we just need to earn a fraction of the Western banking group." Su Cheng smiled sincerely.
