Chapter 855: Dilemma
In his later years, Li Zhongxin spent some time in Russia, chatting with friends, and through the analysis of economists in the world before the collapse of the Soviet Union in the eighties and nineties, Li Zhongxin felt that he knew a lot about some things in the Soviet Union before the disintegration.
He knew in his heart that at this time, the light industry and agriculture of the Soviet Union were far less backward, and the highly developed heavy industry of the Soviet Union provided the basic equipment for mechanization of the light industry and agriculture of the Soviet Union, and greatly improved the production efficiency of the Soviet Union's agriculture and light industry, which was not weaker than that of the United States at all.
But because the Warsaw Pact camp was completely supported by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's young and middle-aged people were excessively concentrated in heavy industry.
Therefore, there was not enough labor in agriculture and light industry, and in addition to the geographical disadvantage, the Soviet Union did not have enough materials.
The Soviet Union imported a lot of grain, mostly not because people did not have enough to eat, but because there were not enough livestock to eat, and the average grain per capita in the Soviet Union was more than three times that of China (when it was enough to eat) and much more meat.
Through the information that Gemino collected for him during this time, Li Zhongxin saw that there was such a situation in the Soviet Union in the early eighties, and on November 7, 1982, the National Day of the Soviet Union, most of the large state food stores in Moscow did not sell butter and cheese. It is only occasionally available at the small state food department, but it is limited to 400 grams per person and there are long queues.
The same goes for the supply of meat, eggs, and sausages. Due to the lack of food, every family in the Soviet Union at that time had to wait in line for an average of two hours a day to buy food, and many employees of state enterprises would leave their jobs during working hours to run out of line simply because they heard that a small amount of sausages and herring had just arrived from the Ministry of Food.
That is, the USSR at this time was the most lacking in food and light industrial products. In the early eighties, China's demand for food and light industrial products was about the same as that of the Soviet Union, at that time, people were poor and had no money in their hands, and it was at this time in '86 that light industrial products or agricultural products still needed to be purchased with tickets.
The distant-water fishing vessels purchased by Zhongxin had already begun to go to sea to catch fish at this time, and the construction of a cannery in China was also underway.
In this policy, Li Zhongxin adheres to the principle of the more the merrier, and an important part of this is that in the future, these things will not only be sold in China, but also exported to Russia.
Li Zhongxin even remembered that after Gorbacho came to power in 1985, he decided on the policy of "fundamental reform" and implemented the policy of "new thinking", "democratization" and "openness", and the overall goal of reform was to completely break with the traditional system of the past and completely negate the so-called "totalitarian bureaucratic system" and "administrative order system" established during the Stalin period, as well as "the original theoretical and practical model of socialism"; It is to build a "humane, democratic socialism" in the Soviet Union. Perestroika did not bring benefits to the Soviet people, and the resistance and problems that arose in perestroika plunged the Soviet Union into a full-fledged crisis.
In general, there are political crises, economic crises, national crises, and social crises, and subdivided into alliance crises, constitutional crises, institutional crises, and party crises. In a crisis situation, the development of events in the USSR was like a river, but that's it! It hasn't quite exploded yet.
Li Zhongxin felt that Zhongxin needed to enter the company before the collapse of the Soviet Union, so that the company's interests could be maximized.
Li Zhongxin is even clearer that more than half of the Soviet Union's foreign exchange earnings now depend on oil exports, while more than half of its foreign exchange expenditures are used to import grain and foodstuffs. Therefore, the economic situation of the Soviet Union directly depended on the fluctuations of world oil and grain prices, on the overall situation of world demand for oil and grain, and on the price and supply manipulation of the United States and other Western countries.
In terms of oil exports, the Soviet Union is now in excess of demand, and the Soviet Union's oil production is very high, but there are very few people who buy Soviet oil, especially during the oil crisis that occurred during this period, and oil futures plummeted, that is, at this time, the price of oil was very low.
The main source of foreign exchange in the Soviet Union came from oil, and now there was a situation in which the Soviet authorities absolutely desperately needed money, and a large amount of foreign exchange, and only in this way could they solve their urgent needs.
"What about me! I didn't plan to do anything on the Soviet side when I came here this time, because the price of oil has been so low in recent times that I have no desire to buy it. When I say this, I'm sure you can understand what I mean. After Li Zhongxin finished speaking to Bamlovsky, he glanced at Bamlovsky's face, and he continued to speak: "I had the idea of going to Paris for a long time before I came to Paris this time, but recently, the oil thing has fallen too hard, and there is no trend of raising its head at all, and many people think that oil is completely wasted this time." In particular, those countries in the West have sold oil very hard. Even Iran and Iraq, two countries on the other side of the Middle East, are at odds with each other, and there is no sign of oil recovery. ”
Li Zhongxin saw Bamlovsky showing a thoughtful look, and secretly mocked Bamlovsky in his heart, this guy is still pretending to be confused at this time, hasn't this product seen at this time? I'm just a prevarication.
If you really come here to buy Soviet oil, you won't go through him as a broker! Now the world is full of oil, and it's almost rotten.
Li Zhongxin, who had just finished mocking Bamlovsky in his heart, suddenly realized that Bamlovsky was worried about the way out of Soviet oil! It's not necessarily that he is pretending to be confused, I'm afraid that the biggest authority given to him by his leaders in the Soviet Union is to exchange oil for foreign exchange.
Li Zhongxin became more and more confident at this time, and he felt that this time he had eaten Bamlovsky.
Bamlowski was able to come to Paris, France so happily this time, I am afraid that it was to find financial help for his leaders.
In the whole of Europe, the status of the Rothschild family in the banking industry is quite high, if the Soviet government wants to contact the Rothschild family, the Rothschild family will not contact, after all, the Soviet government did a very ruthless job, directly the Rothschild family in the Soviet Union, not even a single ruble of assets left to the Rothschilds, and even the Rothschild family was held accountable for the crime of supporting Germany during World War II.
