　　 "The whole country is in decline, and the central government is powerless..."
　　 "Long lines lined up at the gates of state-run sites, and all the stores were empty shelves. The severe shortage of materials has caused the prices of black market commodities to rise one after another."
　　 "According to statistics that are not publicly available, the shutdown rate of Russian state-owned enterprises has reached 30%. With the large-scale shutdown of enterprises, the people have fallen into unemployment."

　　 "On April 9, the Georgian government issued a declaration of independence and withdrew from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics..."
　　 "......"
　　 Inside the office, Shen Jiannan flipped through all the newspapers and gently closed his eyes.
　　 The independence of Georgia means that the Soviet Union has taken another big step on the road to disintegration.
　　 The wheels of the general trend have already started, and under the impetus of the dominant player of public opinion, the Soviet Union will only move forward along its previous trajectory.
　　 No one can stop the Soviet Union from marching into the grave.
　　 This is a good thing.
　　 On April 4, 1949, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Portugal signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington.
　　 is the so-called NATO.
　　 In 1955, the NATO alliance absorbed West Germany into NATO.
　　In order to counter NATO and maintain the Soviet core position among the Warsaw Pact countries, in this context, the Warsaw Pact countries established an Economic Mutual Assistance Committee.
　　The participating countries are 9+3, namely the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Democratic Republic of Germany, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, China and the three observer countries, Vietnam, Laos, and Mongolia.
　　 Among them, China entered the Warsaw Pact in 1956, but was unfortunately kicked out by Big Brother in 1961.
　　The Economic Mutual Association is an association of economic mutual assistance contract countries. Such contracting countries will inevitably have international trade problems, and they will inevitably face the problems of foreign exchange settlement.
　　In order to solve this problem, the rouble transfer system was introduced in the late 1960s.
　　 is equivalent to a foreign trade account in each country of the Economic and Trade Association, with "transferred rubles" as the accounting unit for settlement.
　　In other words, in circulation, the ruble itself cannot be regarded as pure currency.
　　 Its correct name should be called the book-entry ruble.
　　 Because in the Warsaw Pact, the entire economic system is non-commercialized, and the implementation is a planned economy.
　　 Just like the offices, factories, bureaus, ministries, and production complexes in the Soviet Union, production relies on budget and budget saving-related assessments.
　　 The state-owned economy purchases materials from the Planning Commission of the unified purchase and marketing in the form of planned prices through budgets. When purchasing materials, people need various bills in addition to rubles.
　　 You need cloth tickets to buy cloth, bread tickets to buy bread, and even theater tickets to watch a movie.
　　 And even going to the bank to withdraw money, there are serious restrictions.
　　 Everyone withdraws money from the state-owned bank every day, the upper limit is 500 rubles, and there is a long queue.
　　 Money, rubles.
　　 Its currency attributes are severely restricted.
　　 There are serious restrictions on circulation even in the Soviet Union.
　　 In such a capital controlled country, if you want to play with the operation of capital, there is no way for the gods.
　　 It is impossible for the world to make a dime in such a place.
　　 But with the successive independence of countries, fundamental changes will take place in the Soviet Union’s current common economy.
democracy freedom.
　　 Under the people's pursuit of democracy and freedom, the wealth accumulated and plundered by the Soviet Union with powerful force will be securitized. In democracy and freedom, the Soviet currency, the ruble, will become a truly tradable currency.
　　 By then...
　　 "Boom boom boom!"
　　 There was a knock on the office door.
　　 Shen Jiannan opened his eyes and shouted.
"Come in."
　　 A girl in a professional suit walked in.
　　 Li Jiaxin.
　　 Lu Shu recruited clerks in Hong Kong.
　　 Twenty-five or sixty-year-old, looks average, but wins in sincere and down-to-earth.
　　 She opened the door respectfully.
　　 "Boss. A Robert John's husband is here for an interview."
　　 "Let him come in!!"
　　 Two minutes later, a 50-year-old white man walked to the office door under Li Jiaxin's guidance.
　　 Yes, it's the old man.
　　Although Robert is actually only fifty years old.
　　 But his white hair and blessed body make people have to doubt his true age.
　　 Fortunately, his spirit is pretty good.
　　 is wearing a nice suit and a blue tie.
　　 There is more or less the temperament of a financial elite.
　　 Of course, a trace is a trace.
　　 That huge belly is too hard to see in the financial industry. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 Shen Jiannan reluctantly vomited in his heart.
　　 is really cheap but not good.
　　 Such a bad old man, no wonder he only has an annual salary of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
　　 "Boom!"
　　 At the sign of Shen Jiannan, Robert John walked into the office.
　　 After the two shook hands separately, they quickly got to the point.
　　 Very simple question.
　　 For Shen Jiannan, it was only Robert's identity.
　　British people are relatively easy to use in Hong Kong and even the British colonized countries around the world, and it is also easy to use as an agent.
　　 As for the ability problem, it is not a problem at all.
　　 Since I can be qualified for the position of Standard Chartered Bank, and I understand both English and Chinese, this is enough.
　　 "As you can see, our company is a very young company, and the company is also very powerful. The current capital under management is 100 million US dollars."
　　 "......"
　　 "At present, what we need is a general manager. It must be no problem with Mr. Robert's qualifications."
　　 "......"
　　 Randomly talked about the future development, Shen Jiannan put down his resume and asked.
　　 "Mr. John, do you have any other questions?"
　　 "About salary."
　　 "......"
　　 "......"
　　 "Any other questions?"
　　 of course not.
　　 Hong Kong is a British colony at any rate. If you can leave the bitter cold of China and keep your salary unchanged, where can Robert John have other problems?
　　 "Welcome to join the world!""
