At present, it is almost impossible for the Soviet Union to acquire any enterprise and want to make money immediately. It is just a matter of how much the loss is.
But Zhang Qianxiu said that he wanted to ask the United States for money. Without money, I would not work for you.
You don't care how much I lose in my normal operation. Let me do what you say, then you have to give me money.
Roberts is not ambiguous: "Mr. Zhang, money is easy to say."
"If there are some problems, I will tell you straight away. You can't move the assets we want. You help us to purchase a large number of small and medium-sized assets. We will pay 50% of the total cost of the purchase price, and you will pay 50% of the total cost. We will give you an additional 10% of the purchase price as the operating expenses."
"Our requirement is very simple. After the acquisition of these assets, the company will shut down immediately. If you want to, it would be better to declare bankruptcy directly."
Zhang Qianxiu understood Roberts's idea in an instant. The more enterprises in the Soviet Union shut down, the more unemployed people in the society. The more unstable the ordinary people in the Soviet Union, the better for the United States.
Many large enterprises have been taken away by the United States. Small and medium-sized enterprises, large and medium-sized enterprises and even large enterprises have conflicts with the enterprises they have acquired or the existing enterprises. If they go to acquire them again, it will be a waste. According to Roberts, it is equal to acquiring an enterprise. The United States will pay 60% of the capital, and Zhang Qianxiu will pay 40% of the capital. After the acquisition, it will be owned by Zhang Qianxiu.
It seems that the United States has suffered from such cooperation. In fact, the people of the United States have also benefited.
In fact, the American means are very simple, not to mention all kinds of competitions with the Soviet Union, such as the space race and the arms race.
In addition, the United States has other means. First of all, it suppresses the export of the Soviet Union. If there is no export, the development of Soviet enterprises will be greatly restricted. As soon as the domestic economy goes wrong, it will die; Then, the international oil price was suppressed, and the Soviet Union and later Russia were highly dependent on oil. The fall of oil price had a great impact on the Soviet economy, which further made the Soviet enterprises complete; After doing all this, it happened that the world's overall grain output was not good in the past two years, and the United States took the opportunity to bid up grain prices. In the Soviet Union, farmers had a hard time in the high-yield era. Now that grain output is falling and grain prices are rising, farmers are just struggling on the survival line. They can only barely eat enough, and often have a meal.
Because of the sharp drop in oil prices and the failure of domestic economy, the Soviet Union once sold a large amount of gold on the basis of domestic gold reserves. However, at this time, the United States was short of gold in the international market, leading to a great depreciation of gold,
These international operations made Soviet Union suffer a lot. In Soviet Union, the United States also joined in and liberalized many kinds of prices, which directly led to soaring prices. Ordinary people could not afford to consume, but the profits of enterprises did not increase too much, which made everyone sad,
All kinds of operations brought the Soviet Union, which had been struggling, to the brink of disintegration.
When the United States enters again at this time, it will directly spend money to purchase and shut down enterprises that have not closed down, and the Soviet Union will enter a state of complete chaos.
There is basically only one kind of enterprise that the United States wants, that is, minerals. Other industries in the Soviet Union are not very attractive to the United States. No matter how stupid the Soviet Union is, those enterprises that are struggling with military industry will not be sold to the United States.
Since many enterprises in the Soviet Union are not wanted by the United States, it is also a waste to buy them, and they have to spend money to support them. They have to lose money all the time, and the money they lose may be more than those who buy them. Now some of the money helps Zhang Qianxiu buy them, which is naturally good for them.
For such a condition, Zhang Qianxiu couldn't find a reason to refute it. He just thought about it for a while, and without too much hesitation, he nodded and agreed: "yes
Roberts is also a doer. He immediately took out a piece of information: "Mr. Zhang, you have collected all these enterprises. In terms of price, I think you can get a good preferential price."
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Mr. Roberts, don't worry, my purchase price must be within 20% of the actual value of the enterprise."
The American people are not stupid. They are very clear about the current situation of acquiring Soviet enterprises. If they say too much, they will not be wronged.
Roberts's face suddenly looked a lot better: "Mr. Zhang is very straightforward. As long as we control the price within this range, we can accept it, but our budget is also limited. We can invest 10 billion yuan in this area at most."
Zhang Qianxiu said: "no problem, do business well, no matter the size of business, we are very welcome."
"There's something else that maybe Mr. Zhang can help us with," Roberts said
"Oh? What else is there to cooperate with? " Zhang Qianxiu asked.
"We need Mr. Zhang to help us get through some news channels and release news that is good for us," Roberts said
Zhang Qianxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Roberts, with your ability, it should not be difficult to do these things?"
"There are some things that are inconvenient for us to do. There are two voices in our country about the disintegration of the Soviet Union," Roberts said
"Some people hope that the Soviet Union can disintegrate and reduce the threat to us; Others feel that we do not need to let the Soviet Union break up, as long as the Soviet Union and we stand in the same line. "
"At present, many people in the Soviet elite hope to follow our capitalist line."
"Those who do not support the disintegration of the Soviet Union feel that even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, their weapons will certainly remain, and then the threat to us will still exist. We just need to suppress them economically."
"Moreover, the existence of the Soviet Union can help us contain Europe. With such a large Soviet Union, Europe will be obedient."
The Soviet Union posed a great threat to Europe. Even later Russia and European countries were very defensive.
In December 1991, the Soviet Union disintegrated. In the same month, several important European countries signed the EU China Agreement and adopted an important treaty. The important treaty signed in 1993 and 1991 came into force and the EU was formally established.
If the Soviet Union does not disintegrate, perhaps the EU will not be established.
Zhang Qianxiu always thought that all the people in the United States wanted the Soviet Union as a whole. Now it seems that everything is not absolute.
When Roberts said this, Zhang Qianxiu also understood that he wanted to release some news about the accelerated disintegration of the Soviet Union through his own hand. It was obvious that Roberts was the group of people who wanted the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
For such a thing, Zhang Qianxiu thought that cooperation was also very good, and immediately agreed: "yes, Mr. Roberts, what articles do you need to send, I'll help you find a way."
"But the price..."
It's not difficult to find a way. It's just to let Popov do it, give Popov some money, and earn some difference from the middle.
Roberts said, "one million meters is an article."
"Mr. Zhang can rest assured that our articles will not be too radical. They will only be articles of guidance and discussion."
Zhang Qianxiu has seen the ability of the United States in this aspect. Their operation in this aspect is really beyond defense. Later, the country encountered a serious cultural invasion, which was written by the American people.
At the beginning, China's focus was on economic development. Later, it began to resist. Even in the national development related documents, it said that we should establish our cultural confidence and support our cultural output. What's the meaning of this? To put it bluntly, it is to cultivate Chinese people to believe in their own culture, not to think that western culture is more advanced and perfect; Let the Chinese people firmly believe that our culture is also excellent, and our culture is not inferior to the western culture at all; At the same time, we should also export our culture to the whole world, so that the whole world can understand our culture and join our culture.
Zhang Qianxiu was also very satisfied with the price of one hundred thousand articles: "although the price is not high, it is acceptable. At that time, I will read all the articles and consider whether to send them later."
"OK, that's all right, Mr. Zhang. Wish us a happy cooperation!" Said Roberts, rising and extending his hand.
Zhang Qianxiu also stood up, reached out his hand and said, "happy cooperation!"
White said at this time, "Mr. Zhang, can our people leave together now?"
Zhang Qianxiu was very generous and said, "yes
"By the way, Mr. Roberts, I have already used part of the 10 million tons of grain. You may not have so much grain. If you need it, I will gather up 10 million tons for you as soon as possible."
The meaning of Zhang Qianxiu's words is very simple. I'm going to sell 10 million tons to you. Although I don't have so much grain now, even if I go to collect it, I'll make up enough. Anyway, the price you give is high, and I'll get it at a high price.
Roberts's face froze for a moment, and finally said, "how much does Mr. Zhang have now?"
"Seven million tons, three million tons left. I can make it up in a month at most." Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile.
Roberts took a deep breath and said, "no, just seven million tons. If you go to the market and collect it, even if it's two hundred and one meter per ton, that's 630 million yuan. Then we can deduct the 630 million yuan."
Of course, Zhang Qianxiu didn't have any opinions, because he sold three million tons to the United States for three billion yuan. Without doing anything, he made more than two billion yuan. This is just pie in the sky.
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile: "no problem."
Roberts added: "tomorrow I will arrange for someone to come and sign a contract with Mr. Zhang. Within a week, the funds will be transferred to Mr. Zhang's account."
"All right." Zhang Qianxiu turned to Hu tie and said, "Lao Hu, go and bring the sniper brother here."
Hu tie answered and turned around to take people.
Seeing off Roberts and others, the smile on Zhang Qianxiu's face gradually faded away.
Although he took advantage of these cooperation, the risk is not small.
I picked up the list of enterprises Roberts gave me and looked at it carefully. These enterprises are almost all over the big cities of the Soviet Union. They are from all walks of life. Some industries are the same, and the technology is similar, but they are in different cities, and they are still in a state of loss. After the acquisition of these enterprises, if they operate by themselves, they will definitely not make money.
