Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1137 Asking for help
Also, after the collapse of the Mao Bear, many factory and even farm leaders secretly disobeyed the Mao Bear because they had power after the Mao Bear collapsed and wanted to seek benefits for themselves.

You have to know that the government departments left by dozens of Soviets are dominant in various industrial divisions. Among them, the bureaucrats want to retain the bastion of power in their hands, and in the factories, the powerful factory directors insist on not giving up their superior status and lazy empire. They all want to stop radical reforms.

As central authority weakened, factory managers gained greater power in their own territories, using the power of the state for personal gain and lining their own pockets, siphoning cash and raw materials from state-owned enterprises under the guise of cooperatives and joint ventures.

But this is not illegal because there is no legal basis in Russia for transferring state assets to individuals.

The nature of this kind of thing is that as long as you are thick-skinned, bold and determined, you can get everything. If you are thin-skinned and timid, you just sit on the sidelines.

Others have already started enjoying the feast, with assets being stolen, taken, and seized by some conservatives and factory managers who took advantage of the chaos in the country. He called this phenomenon spontaneous privatization, which is difficult to control, but in the end it is the ordinary people who suffer.

But what's interesting about the people today is that Gaidar and Chubais are the two people who are directly responsible for the current situation, while Jiang Yan is almost the biggest beneficiary. It's a bit awkward for them to stand together.

Although Jiang Yan provided them with supplies, even if he sold them according to the appraisal, he could definitely make 700 to 800 million from these 200 train cars. Even if he was soft-hearted, he couldn't be vague about making money. If he didn't sell them at a premium, it meant that Jiang Yan was kind-hearted. Therefore, he would not let go of this batch of supplies unless he made 1 billion.

Jiang Yan and Gaidar remained silent. They knew very well what Chubais said.

"Jiang, we have something else that needs your help." Gaidar said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yan was a little puzzled, but even though he was puzzled, he could feel that today was not just a simple matter of asking him to go shopping. The next thing should be the most important thing. Kadanfu knew that Jiang Yan had supplies in his hands, and he certainly didn't know much. If he needed it, it would only take a phone call and he didn't need to go there in person.

What's more, there are Gaidar and Chubais.

"This, this matter is rather confidential, why don't we go into the office and talk about it!" Gaidar said in a squeaky voice.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yan became even more confused, but despite his confusion, Jiang Yan still followed them to their new office.

When they arrived at the place, Jiang Yan looked up and saw the sign above was the Russian State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

The location of the Russian State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission office building is quite good. It is located on New Arbat Street, the most prosperous area in the center of Moscow. However, after entering, Jiang Yan regretted it. This building is completely gilded on the outside, but rotten on the inside. It looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but it is bare inside. Not to mention heating, there is not even any decoration.

"No, have you made President Boris angry recently? Otherwise, why would he arrange this crappy place for you two? There's not even heating here. You'll freeze to death if you work here."

"No, no. It was established in a hurry, so we just moved here temporarily. Also, the government had just been established and there were many things to be done, so the funds were a bit insufficient." Gaidar said awkwardly.

"Forget it. I'll tell people to install some heating for you tomorrow. You're not far from the office building of the Automobile Alliance anyway. It's just a matter of pulling some pipes." Jiang Yan said helplessly.

"Then we don't have a copier, no fax, no refrigerator, and even no food..." Chubais rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Yan with hope.

"No, so you asked me to come here just to get some money? You don't even have any funds at all." Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at them and said.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, several people looked embarrassed. "Forget it, it's my bad luck to know you. I can help you with the copy machine and fax machine, but what do you mean by asking for a refrigerator? Do you think it's not cold today?" Jiang Yan pointed to the sky outside where snowflakes were already falling.

In Moscow's current weather, it's a bit too much to need a refrigerator. In this weather, what can't be thrown out and frozen? This place is a natural refrigerator.

Chubais and the others just chuckled and didn't care about Jiang Yan's tone. If he didn't get some benefits from Jiang Yan, the richest man in Russia, while he was here, he would be a failure.

"How about this, I'll ask Arov to send a manager over here tomorrow. Just tell him what you need." Jiang Yan shook his head and said helplessly.

He might as well do his best to get the best out of it. Anyway, he had already paid the bulk of the money for the heating, so why bother about the small amount of money for home appliances and office supplies? If he couldn't even spend 100,000 rubles, he might as well stop.

"Everyone come here, Mr. Jiang is here to greet you." Chubais shouted to the people who were looking at Jiang Yan with curiosity and trepidation. He got to know these people one by one, and then asked Jiang Yan to sit with them in the office.

"Jiang, do you know what the biggest dilemma we are facing now?" Gaidar asked with a heavy face.

"Old bureaucrats and factory directors." Jiang Yan answered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Gaidar and Chubais smiled immediately and gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up, feeling once again that Jiang Yan was worthy of being their soulmate.

"We are now facing a tug-of-war. Industrial assets theoretically belong to the state, but in practice different organizations claim that the assets belong to them. Managers and factory directors, corporate management think they know the factory best, workers think the factory is theirs because they have worked on the production line for so many years, and the old bureaucrats see this as profitable and want to gain control."

"They are all shareholders and their demands must be heard, but the problem now is that the possibility of meeting the demands of all these people is almost zero," Gaidar added.

"So what are you going to do?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Many people don't understand, even the top management, they don't know, they just let us find a way to solve it. After discussion, we came up with a brilliant idea, which is to use the shareholding system, introduce a shareholder to surpass their shareholders, and reorganize the assets."

"Then you have chosen me." Jiang Yan said.

"The situation here is unclear. Many foreign investors will not invest. You are the only one who can break the deadlock. We need your help."

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Yan asked.

He understood what the two men said. At least in theory, this was the best way. They were willing to clear out old equipment, carry out reforms, and eliminate all unnecessary expenses. This was the optimal solution.

"How do the workers deal with it? How do the factory managers deal with it?" Jiang Yan asked.
