Hello, 1983

, hello, 1983

When Liu Qingshan's train arrived at Gongqingcheng, it was already the next morning.

Out of the messy train station, Gromov, the follower, has been following, and he is still babbling:

"Liu, I really want to invite you to my house, but you know, now the economy is down, I don't even have the money to buy food to entertain you."

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook hands with him: "It's okay, my friend, I believe everything will be fine."

Gromov nodded vigorously: "Yes, just like Pushkin's poetry, everything is fleeting, everything will pass!"

Saying goodbye to Gromov, Liu Qingshan knew that people like Gromov represented the current situation of this country.

The wealth they had accumulated in the past has evaporated in an instant, and the original security system has been completely destroyed, and everything has to start from scratch.

Coming to Gongqingcheng, Liu Qingshan's feeling is even more obvious. Bushi is also a trading port, and the basic order and materials are still stable.

But it was different here, it looked very chaotic, a group of parade crowd walked past Liu Qingshan and the others shouting loudly.

The angry faces and the waving fists showed that they were about to reach their limit.

The police lifted a frozen body from the street and stuffed it into the car.

There was a loud clatter from a shop window not far away, someone was holding the goods and running wild...

"It's really messy." Li Tie Niu muttered.

Compared with Huaxia, the gap is really big.

"Boss!" With a familiar call, Jiang Shuichang led a group of people and ran towards Liu Qingshan.

When Liu Qingshan set off yesterday, he had already called and they were here to pick him up.

"Old Jiang!" Li Tieniu opened his arms to meet him, and Jiang Shuichang was swung around a few times by him.

The others avoided Li Tieniu one after another and came to Liu Qingshan, greeting him with excitement and joy.

For them in a foreign country, seeing their compatriots makes them feel very cordial, not to mention seeing their boss Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan patted their shoulders one by one: "Everyone has worked hard."

Here, people are not familiar with the place of life, and the past two years have been particularly chaotic and dangerous, so it is really not easy for these people.

"It's okay, the Black Bear Gang is covering me." Lao Jiang finally broke free from Li Tie Niu's embrace.

Not to mention these foreigners, even the locals can't afford to provoke those underground forces.

As soon as the sale is opened, someone will come to collect the protection fee; even more powerful, will directly grab your business directly.

After chatting for a while, everyone got into the car and drove to the location of the Katyusha business.

Komsomolsk is an industrial city built by the Soviet Union. There are aircraft factories here, such as the Su-27 series, which are all produced here.

There are also shipyards, steel mills, machinery factories and other heavy industry manufacturing.

And because of economic reasons, many factories are now in a state of shutdown.

Liu Qingshan and the others looked all the way, and their eyes were full of depression.

After entering the most prosperous district in the city, the situation improved slightly.

The convoy stopped in front of a Russian-style building, Liu Qingshan and the others got off the car, only to see the sign of the Katyusha firm hanging on the building.

This is a shopping mall. The first and second floors are where goods are sold. Customers come in and out at the door. It seems quite prosperous.

Nowadays, the supply of materials on Maozi's side is extremely tight, so places that can trade materials are of course welcome.

At the gate, Liu Qingshan saw the heroic Katyusha, who was leading a group of people and stood there to greet him.

"Liu, you are welcome!" Katyusha put on a refreshing ponytail and hugged Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan looked at it carefully,

I think Katyusha has changed a lot.

She has faded away from the greenness, turned into a mature and capable professional woman, and her eyes have become sharper.

Obviously, during this period of time, she has experienced a lot of things, which has sharpened her even more sharply.

"Yes, Katyusha, you will definitely become the most dazzling woman in this country in the future."

Liu Qingshan is not a compliment, Katyusha himself has the ability and connections, and now coupled with the powerful capital, it will inevitably rise.

However, Katyusha shook her head, with a trace of pain hidden in her eyes: "Liu, if it is, I'd rather live a life without competition in that remote town in Bhutan."

But soon, her eyes brightened again: "But since I chose the current path, I will also go on!"

Liu Qingshan nodded, he could understand Katyusha's feelings: "Katyusha, we will succeed."

Entering the firm, the upper two floors are the offices. Liu Qingshan noticed that there are two special windows for the purchase of bonds.

There were a few hairs lining up in front of the window, and Liu Qingshan went over to check.

"Sir, would you like to exchange rubles or US dollars?" the salesperson inside was a pretty hairy girl, and asked the unshaven uncle outside.

The uncle scratched his messy hair: "How do you exchange it?"

"For rubles, according to the amount on the bond, the equivalent amount is exchanged; if it is US dollars, according to today's exchange rate, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 180 rubles."

The uncle shook his head, although the exchange was equal, but the ruble depreciated more than a hundred times.

Now that prices are soaring, the bonds in his hand, even if they are exchanged for money, can't buy much at all.

"I went to see the Pan American Bank, and I heard that it also accepts bonds."

The uncle still put the bonds in his pocket back in his pocket and turned around to leave.

The guy in line at the back immediately squeezed forward happily:

"Exchange for me, I don't want money, I heard that your firm can exchange things directly here, exchange it for vodka for me, and exchange everything!"

Can you change something?

The uncle was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

The waiter inside had a sweet smile on his face: "Sir, if you exchange products, you can also enjoy a 10% discount in our firm."

When the old man heard this, he hesitated again.

The drunkard at the back waited impatiently: "Old guy, can you hurry up, don't worry about the Pan American Bank, the exchange price there is lower than here, and there is no discount yet."

This sentence also became the last straw that overwhelmed the uncle. He took out his bond again: "Change it!"

Liu Qingshan looked at Katyusha, then nodded: "Good job."

Katyusha smiled and shook her head: "It's a bit of a loss."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but look straight: "No, Katyusha, that's right, tell the branches in each city, try to use commodities to exchange bonds, 20% off, 30% off is no problem, we Longteng side, will Make every effort to ensure the supply of goods.”

Liu Qingshan directly set the charter. With the rapid development of the domestic economy, commodities are becoming more and more abundant, and there is no need to worry about finding sources of goods as before.

"But, but..." Katyusha looked at the group of people around her.

This is Katyusha's advisory team, from their own country, as well as Xiao Li's family and Lao Ba. On the one hand, it is for assistance, but also for the purpose of supervision.

After all, such a large sum of money is invested, and they have to install their own people.

A bald man in his fifties put his glasses on his hands: "Mr. Mountain, why don't you accumulate some rubles, maybe soon, the rubles will appreciate again?"

Liu Qingshan glanced at those people: "Let's go upstairs to talk."

"Okay." Katyusha agreed, then led the crowd to the conference room on the top floor.

It was much quieter here, and the stairs seemed to temporarily cut off the world below.

Everyone drank hot black tea and started chatting. Katyusha first introduced the members of the advisory group.

Liu Qingshan couldn't remember so many names for a while. He only remembered that the bald man just now was Marshall, a consultant from the United States.

Another is Bonev, a pom-pom expert, who is also an old-fashioned pedant.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Liu Qingshan said: "Everyone, do you think that the ruble has bottomed out and will soon return to its value?"

Those experts all nodded, in fact, this is also a general consensus.

After all, the ruble has lost a hundredfold in value, which is so scary that it feels unreal.

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "On the contrary, I think the devaluation of the ruble has just begun."

He took out a few magazines from his bag and put them on the table: "This is a paper I published a few months ago, you can take a look."

This is a paper published in the "Review of Economics", the journal is referred to as rfs, which is a relatively authoritative economic journal.

This time, even Marshall did not dare to neglect, and read it carefully.

After reading the whole article, I looked at the date of publication, and it was in November last year.

"Oh, it's unimaginable, Mr. Mountain, your prediction is not bad at all. In just a few months, the ruble has lost a hundredfold in value."

"But you mentioned in your paper that the ruble will continue to depreciate, this, this..."

Marshall seems to want to refute, but he can't find a reason. Now it seems that Liu Qingshan has predicted the beginning, so it proves that all the arguments that follow are very likely to be correct.

This paper was given to Professor Peter by Liu Qingshan when he was in Stockholm.

Professor Peter took advantage of his relationship to publish it.

At the beginning of its publication, it was also ridiculed by a large number of economists.

However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the development of things completely verified Liu Qingshan's prediction, so the faces of those economists were about to swell.

Bonev also finished reading the magazine. He stared at Liu Qingshan with complicated eyes: "Mr. Mountain, is there any way to solve our domestic economic problems?"

Liu Qingshan spread his hands, Bonev's eyes dimmed immediately.

Liu Qingshan then continued: "Katyusha, and gentlemen, so our future strategy is to use commodities to exchange bonds as much as possible;"

"And remember one thing, the rubles in our hands, as long as we can cope with the daily turnover, we must not have a large backlog!"

At such a time, it is extremely stupid to have a backlog of rubles.

Liu Qingshan finally increased his tone: "Everyone, this is an order, not a request!"
