Back at the embassy, ​​Sikong Guan went to communicate with the members of the bank group. Nearly 10 of them represent six different banks. Although they have their own interests, they must be closer.

Su Cheng looked thoughtful all the way. When he arrived at the embassy, ​​he was lying on his back on the sofa in the embassy's living room. Regardless of the amazing gazes of the staff coming and going, he perfected his own ideas.

Gu Hongjun was conscientiously guarding Su Cheng, holding an apple in his hand, chewing juice flowing, and his eyes dripping at everyone approaching, making people feel like they were looking for prey. After a while, the people passing by the living room walked around him.

The dinner was provided by the embassy. In addition to a small amount of pork, it was pickled cucumber and tomato sauce, served with onion soup and Russian bread, which had a unique flavor. Everyone here rushed over and arrived in Moscow quickly. At this moment, they relaxed and ate happily.

After the meal, the counselor came with tea, and asked someone to remove the table, and brought a few high chairs, arranged in a circular shape, making it look like a salon. Then he sat down and said with a smile: "I just received a letter from the Russian Ministry of Finance. They will examine the strength of the Chinese bank group in the next four weeks to decide whether to accept China's loan conditions. You can start preparing. Congratulations, this is the first shot of China's financial business and going abroad."

Everyone in the bank group knew that it was not, but they still received his congratulations with a shy face and slammed the high fives with a smile. Sikong Guan said with satisfaction: "So smooth!"

"It's really smooth. Since I arrived in the Soviet Union, this is the fastest time for Russian bureaucrats to act. It seems that they really need supplies and money." The counselor joked and had a bit of a humorous style, which was the diplomat in people's impression.

Su Cheng smiled: "Who doesn't need it?"

Several bank experts laughed out loud and felt a little relaxed. After all, they agreed with Sucheng's plan and came to the Soviet Union. Now things are going well. This means that their actions are correct. With this, it can be called a good start.

The counselor chatted for a few more words. After taking a sip of tea, he put down and smiled, "Then, I will reply to them. Are you ready to undergo an inspection? You should bring relevant qualification documents. In the Russian Ministry of Finance, there are not only former Soviet officials, but also Americans and Europeans, and they probably will also read them. Therefore, on the one hand, your documents must be able to explain your strength, and on the other hand, they cannot leak state secrets."

Sikong Guan and others looked at each other: "What information is considered to be leaking state secrets? What does not count?"

"Don't give what should not be given, don't miss what should be given."

"Western countries are still blocking us. Let Americans or Europeans review our banks? Will there be discrimination?" Sikong Guan skipped the security issue and couldn't help looking at Sucheng. Although he always felt that he was too young, when there was a problem, the first thing he thought of was Sucheng.

The counselor said first: "This is the situation now. The Russian government does need materials, but the first thing it needs is international payment currency to stabilize the ruble. All we can provide is RMB, so they must be inclined toward banks of Western countries. This is also something they have agreed on long ago. Of course, the Russian government has reached the current situation. They want to grasp any straw. They want our things, but they cannot help but worry, for example, the purpose of China's loans, the strength of China's bank group, and the ideas of Western countries. In short, the situation is quite complicated. The ideas of both sides are approaching, and Russia's concerns should be understandable."

"Can you directly ask the Russian side to discuss the competition?" This is not the first time Sikong Guan has gone abroad.

"This is the official opinion of Russia. If you are worried about security issues, you can ask the military officer for help."

"It's not just safety..." Sikong Guan said embarrassedly, but his family knows his own affairs. The six banks together have no Western bank has the strength. Perhaps there is a little more confidence than the RMB and the US dollar. That's equivalent to brightening his belly to others. At that time, the other party's attitude will definitely change.

Another expert had a similar idea and sighed, "It's still not possible. Otherwise, forget it."

The counselor did not know the ins and outs of the Chinese bank group and the real purpose. According to his opinion, the Chinese bank group came over and was a cute show. Therefore, after hearing the experts' words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't want to do a loan in Russia, do you really want to do a loan?"

Ten representatives Kasucheng nodded together.

The counselor was stunned and spread his hands and said, "Then I can do nothing. The Russian Ministry of Finance and the Russian State Bank are of course institutions that manage finance. If you want to give them loans, you can only pass them, and you must submit documents and qualification documents."

Sikong Guan gritted his teeth, rubbed his two fingers gently, and asked in a low voice: "Can you use other means?"

The implication is that it is a bribe.

The counselor coughed twice and said, "Don't ask me this. Although the Russian official has a lot of strength."

“How big is it?”

"The Soviets invited by our embassy. The father was sick and hospitalized, taking medicine, surgery, and hospitalization were not charged. All of them were reimbursed by the state, but he spent more than 4,000 US dollars to give the doctor a red envelope." The counselor was not particularly shy about this issue. He worked in the Russian embassy, ​​and bribing Russians was one of his jobs. In other words, only bribing Russians can work normally. Among the embassies in countries around the world, there are only a few domestic laws that prohibit bribing people from other countries, and in other countries, this is a gray area.

Sikong Guan gritted his teeth when he heard this: "$4,000 for the doctor? So much?"

"The ruble used to be valuable, but later the ruble was not valuable, so the doctors asked for foreign exchange." The counselor spread his hands and said, "Russia is very messy now. It is not something that can be done with just a little money. You should report it to the top."

The implication is that if you use money to open the way, you will need a huge sum of money that they cannot decide.

Sikong Guan shook his head, looked at Su Cheng again, and asked loudly: "Dr. Su, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, I think these doctors are so brave. Is the Soviet Union a system that exempts medical expenses from all the time?"

"Well, as long as you go to the hospital, you don't have to spend money on medicine, injections, infusion surgery, hospitalization, etc. So... the doctor will ask for a red envelope of about the same price." The counselor explained and smiled mockingly: "The rubles used to be useful. Ordinary people earn two or three thousand rubles per month, which is equivalent to six or seven thousand dollars, so giving a red envelope of thousands of dollars is the same as we give a few hundred red envelopes to the hospital. The Soviet monetary system was paralyzed, and patients still had to come to the hospital, look at the highest price of vegetables and fruits on the streets, all sold in the family home where the doctors live."

In countries without sufficient regulatory system, free medical care is the hotbed of **.

Because Su Cheng is young, he basically doesn’t go to the hospital. He occasionally catches a small cold and is someone who sends medicine to him. He really hasn’t learned about these things.

He shook his head and turned to say, "Since that's the case, we can't walk their path, so we can only walk one way ourselves."

"How to do it?" Sikong Guan asked immediately.

"Let the Russians come to us and put some pressure on them, so as not to scrutinize them too carefully."

Sikong Guan nodded in his ear and asked, "Do you want to go through political channels?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but it's not that complicated. Let's sell the goods."

Sikong Guan said in surprise: "Why is that almost the same?"

"The counselor understands that Russia is now, although it is extremely bad, it is indeed the most democratic period in Russian history. Well, power is all in ordinary people." Su Cheng said with his fingers: "In the past, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has been declared illegal. Oppositions like Yeltsin have only first taken power. I want me to say that they are now like our movement period, and anyone can turn over and become masters, and no one dares to offend most people. So... let's sell goods, let the Moscow people take the initiative to ask for loans, and then let the Ministry of Finance and the Bank come to us to talk to us."

The counselor clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Dong Su said it wonderfully. Unexpectedly, you just arrived in Moscow and have a deep study of Russian politics."

Sikong Guan did not doubt that he was there and praised him: "Dr. Su is already an expert in international situation. How can we implement this in detail?"

"Remember those street stall dealers I saw today? You said, if we send Chinese goods here, it is cheap and good, can we sell them better?"

"certainly."

"Since that's the case, we will sell a large amount of goods to these dealers, set a different price, a very high ruble price, and a relatively low US dollar price, and the lowest price is the RMB price. At the same time, we told them that our Chinese government has prepared to provide a large amount of RMB to the Russian State Bank, so that they can go to the bank to exchange and make loans!"

"In this way, the Russian State Bank will find a way to find RMB?" Sikong Guan said, and said again: "However, what if the government interferes, it seems a bit of a violation of the rules when we do this."

"Where is the violation? We are indeed preparing to take out a large amount of RMB. As long as the Russian State Bank is willing to lend, we will give it to them. Of course, with the conditions, the Russian State Bank will also allow us to operate deposit and loan business in Russia. At the same time, the Russian State Bank should lend a ruble of equivalent value to us." Su Cheng said, paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "At that time, the Russian State Bank will return our RMB and we will return the ruble of the Russian State Bank. No one will default on it, and each will settle his own accounts."

Sikong Guan pondered for a moment and nodded, "I think it's OK. If I were Russian, I would agree. Our request is far worse than that of the Western banking group."

"Well, we just need to earn a fraction of the Western banking group." Su Cheng smiled sincerely.
