The large number of unemployed people brought about by the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan posed a huge challenge to the Soviet government. How to relocate these people has become the most troublesome issue for the Gorbachev government. In fact, even without the withdrawal, the actual unemployment rate in the Soviet Union is gradually rising. Because wages have fluctuated, companies that were not in good business conditions had to cut the wages of workers, and those oil and gas, which were already well-paid, had to cut the wages of their workers. Monopoly industries have raised wages. This rise and fall, coupled with the already serious inflation problem, has made life more difficult for many ordinary Soviet families.

Now that wages have actually shrunk greatly, more and more young people have joined gangs to engage in profitable smuggling business, especially those who have the opportunity to go abroad, and have become the main force of domestic smuggling in the Soviet Union. Smuggling of perfumes and cigarettes has now become a tradition among Soviet civil aviation workers. This situation actually corrects Brezhnev's famous saying-"We can't live on wages!"

Under such circumstances, the underground currency exchange industry in the Soviet Union has gradually developed. On the black market, the exchange rate between the rupee and the U.S. dollar has been twice as low as the official exchange rate. In the face of this decline in wealth, People have tried every means to convert their rubles into U.S. dollars.

Against this background, Sergey Shah decided to let the Gorky Brotherhood give up the low-end industry of smuggling and devote himself to the underground financial industry. At present, the official Soviet exchange rate price of the ruble against the US dollar is still around 1.5:1, but on the black market, the price is already close to 3:1. In this case, the easiest way is to buy the ruble from the black market and then Then go to the official bank to exchange, but for ordinary people, it is difficult not to be discovered by the Soviet financial supervisory authority. Therefore, to be able to do this kind of business must have a strong background and relationship.

Sergey Sha has the unique conditions to do this kind of thing. When he first took over the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank, Sergey had tried several small-scale trials, but now Sergey has completely hollowed out the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank. The one trillion foreign exchange deposits of China have been successfully transferred to the Colombian bank. How to balance this account is what Seryosha needs to consider most now. Taking advantage of this wave of foreign exchange exchange, Seryosha decided to use The ruble is used to fill this bad account, because now foreign companies such as Volkswagen, McDonald’s, and Kraft have appeared in the Soviet Union, and more foreign capital will enter the Soviet market in the future, so the foreign exchange of foreign trade banks will continue to flow out, and the ruble The continued inflow provides a good excuse.

However, one trillion is not a small amount. It is incredible that three or four foreign companies want to exchange so much foreign exchange. Therefore, Sergei has to buy more multinational companies and let them enter the Soviet Union. The market, let’s flatten this account together, so that we can not only control as many companies as possible in the US capital market, but also allow the Soviet Union’s foreign exchange deficit to get a reasonable explanation.

Sergei still has Glencore in his hands, and the Soviet Union’s natural resources are extremely rich. If Glencore can take advantage of the Soviet Union’s opening up to foreign capital to occupy the Soviet oil market as soon as possible, then Glencore may It can compete with oil giants such as Mobil and British Petroleum in the oil trade. In addition, Sergei Sha is also very interested in the natural gas of the Soviet Union. Can we try to use foreign capital to build more natural gas pipelines to increase Glencore's voice in the European natural gas market?

The current Soviet Union's current natural gas mainly comes from the Caspian Sea, where various forces are entrenched, and there is basically no way to reach out. Sergei feels that only Tyumen Gas, which has stalled due to lack of funds, is still a little bit off. The current Minister of Natural Gas Industry of the Soviet Union and the leader of the All-Su Tyumen Gas Joint Company is Chernomyrdin. This person has a good relationship with Yeltsin. He even has some friendship with Selesha and Selesha. Chernomyrdin was very impressed, because he listened to news broadcasts when he was a child, and he often heard this name in news about Russia. During Yeltsin's presidency of Russia, Chernomyrdin once served as prime minister of Russia. Therefore, heroes like Chernomyrdin are the friends Sergei must not miss anyway.

So after the ministerial meeting on the resettlement of Afghan troops ended, Sergei looked for an opportunity to stop Chernomyrdin and wanted to discuss with him the establishment of a joint venture natural gas company and pipeline company in Tyumen.

After Sergeysha’s brief introduction, Chernomyrdin fell into deep thought. After a while, Chernomyrdin said to Sergeysha: "Sergeysha, the issue of natural gas is really too sensitive. , I don’t think Secretary Gorbachev would agree to foreign investment in our natural gas business, but I think maybe we can use a piece of chicken ribs to cheat those foreign capitalists?"

Hearing that Chernomyrdin intends to pit foreign businessmen to invest, Sergey Sha is dumbfounded. Glencore is his company. Now he actually wants to discuss with Chernomyrdin how to entrap his own business. What a big joke. But Sergey Sha still intends to ask Chernomyrdin how to cheat foreign businessmen.

"Sergeysha, do you know the Samotrol oil field?" Chernomyrdin said hehe.

"No~www.readwn.com~ That is the largest oil field in our country. The government is willing to allow foreign investment to intervene in the exploitation of the Samotrol oil field?" Sergeysha asked in disbelief.

"If there is no problem, we will definitely not let in foreign capital. But now the output of the Samoterol oil field has fallen sharply, and international oil prices have continued to fall. There is nothing in the cost of Samoterol. It's worth mining!" Chernomyrdin said with a long sigh.

"How is it possible, if I remember correctly, wasn't the Samoterol oil field discovered only in 1965, and the output surpassed the Saudi Gawar oil field for a time. How did the output decrease so much?" Serezha asked in confusion. .

"Hey, it's hard to say! The Samoterol oil field is no longer able to create benefits for the country. If there is no foreign capital to take over, we can only let the local oil workers grow food for a living..." Chernomyrd Jin said.

"How much do you plan to pit foreign businessmen?" Xie Liaosha asked curiously. He wanted to know what happened to Samoterol. How could such a big oil field be mined for more than 20 years?

"For ten billion U.S. dollars, foreign businessmen can obtain exclusive mining rights for 50 years!" Chernomyrdin cautiously put forward a figure, and Sergei was happy after hearing it.
