Chapter 1267: Small problem

At the host’s kind invitation, Tan Zhenhua stayed in "Spectrum Villa" for a few days. During this period, he not only followed Mark. Rich’s private yacht made several boat trips on Lake Lucerne and climbed the famous Rigi Peak in the Alps on the lake. He stayed in the most luxurious suite of the Rigi Kulm Hotel at 1,800 meters above sea level to show that he had played. I’m stuck, you must know that this hotel has been built for more than 170 years. Her Majesty Queen Victoria, musician Mendelssohn, and great writer Victor Hugo were all the guests of this famous hotel.
Of course, he stayed in Spectrum Villa was not all for playing, during this period, except with Mark. In addition to talking about the international political and economic situation, Rich and other invited guests also read a document very carefully.
This is obviously a piece of information provided under the name of the "Knights Templar" because there is a bright red "horse other cross" coat of arms on the cover.
This information provides detailed data and estimates the value of Soviet Russian state-owned enterprises. The final conclusion is that the total assets of Soviet Russian state-owned enterprises estimated by the internationally accepted method of asset valuation are about 1.7 trillion yuan. The ruble, the total assets of the top 500 large companies have reached 1.1 trillion rubles. This does not include the currency issued by the Soviet Union, the value of the country’s land, minerals and other resources, nor the cash and gold held by it. Or the value of other reserve assets that are liquid or easily realized (historical data, author's note).
If according to the official exchange rate of 1:0.9 established by the Soviet Union, the total assets of these state-owned enterprises are worth about US$1.53 trillion.
So what about Soviet Russia's debt?
So far, Soviet Russia’s debt ratio is not high. The total debt lent to Soviet Russia through the members of the "Spectrum Club" is only about 50 billion US dollars. Compared with the huge assets of Soviet Russia, these loans are simply insignificant.
Tan Zhenhua knew that despite the entire Eastern Europe as a commodity cycle, Soviet Russia’s deteriorating domestic economic structure had caused it to import a large amount of grain and other light industrial products that were necessary for life every year. It also had to import some of the products licensed by Batumi. High-tech products to maintain domestic heavy industrial manufacturing, including military production, are not too far behind the Western world.
At the same time, the increasingly corrupt and degraded high-level leaders’ unregulated demands for high-end consumer goods are also the bulk of the Soviet Union’s foreign exchange expenditures.
What's more, international oil prices have been on the floor for several years. Soviet Russia's crude oil exports are actually losing money, while international food prices have been speculated by bulls.
For Tan Zhenhua, who is accustomed to seeing the US$20 trillion treasury bond figure of the only superpower in the early 21st century, he has no feelings for this mere US$50 billion.
However, he who knows this history also knows that these seemingly insignificant loans are a thick noose tied to the neck of Soviet Russia by Western capitalists.
So, do you want to put your own mark on this noose?
Tan Zhenhua fell into deep thinking.
...
Leo. Wanta walked into the magnificent hall, as if walking into his own home casually. There are no other guests today. The noisy and very noisy "Spectrum Villa" on weekdays is rare, very deserted and empty, which makes people feel a little unreal. .
"Leo, hello."
mark. Rich greeted him, the two gave a light hug and patted each other on the shoulder, which fully demonstrated the extraordinary relationship between the two.
"Talk to my study, I have the best coffee there."
"I really envy your life!" Leo. Vanta sighed, "Maybe I should tell Chief Casey that his wanted target is too leisurely, and he should make you more trouble."
mark. Rich grinned, smiled silently, and then replied: "You are jealous, Leo, believe me, soon, you will be wanted too..."
"If there is such a day, I think I will choose Swiss to spend the rest of my life, if I can also own a villa like you here."
...
"Then Mark, what did our little friend say? Did he have a good time here?"
"He is a man of good taste, so, of course, he has a great time here, and I think he and his new friends are getting along very well."
"Then what does he think of your Spectrum Club?"
"He is hesitating, but I think he is already tempted."
"Is it because of the 7% interest income?"
"No, I don't think so. I think he saw some of the things behind these loans. Our kid is a smart person."
Leo. Wanta nodded, thought for a moment and asked again: "So, what kind of prospects have you planned for him?"
"The first credit line of one billion U.S. dollars, three years, no restrictions on use, the collateral is Soviet Russia Tyumen Petroleum Corporation's regulated crude oil export revenue."
"This is a safe loan. It is very attractive to use this method for the first time, so does he agree?"
"He refused."
"Oh?"
"He said that if he participates in the operation of lending to Soviet Russia, then he will not accept the operation method of using oil as collateral."
"why?"
"He said that he must take into account the way that Soviet Russia can claim rights after it is unable to repay the corresponding loan. Although he has an oil refinery, the capacity of that plant is limited and it is impossible to digest so much crude oil. Moreover, his crude oil The source is very reliable and stable, and he does not want to easily change the current supply pattern, which also involves many complex interests."
Leo. Wanta frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "This is an imperfect excuse, right?"
"Yes, oil was originally a very mobile resource commodity. As long as the price is right, buyers can be easily found all over the world, so his excuse is very far-fetched and not convincing."
"Then why do you think he said that? He should know that his reason is untenable. Could it be that our kid suddenly went offline?"
"Of course it's impossible." Mark. Rich twitched his lips and said, "He said so, just to give us a hint."
"Huh?"
"Hinting to us, he has other ideas, or to put it bluntly, he wants other collateral."
"It's possible, well, it's also in line with Eric's character and negotiation style as we know it."
"This is not a possibility, this is what he really thinks." Mark. Richie emphasized in a very affirmative tone, and at the same time stood up, walked to the desk, opened the middle drawer, took out a file from it and handed it to Leo. Wanta said: "He has even drawn up a detailed list."
"A list?"
Leo. Wanta took the piece of paper and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
"It seems that our little friend has presented us with a small problem!" He sighed.
