Chapter 351 China's Aid

Kogilev stared at Sucheng's eyes. If it were the Soviet era, he would turn his head and leave. But Russia is different now.

The only place where Yeltsin's era was that the replacement of officials was not eliminated. He was given the hat of "old ideas" or "old bureaucrats", and he was immediately pulled down and became an ordinary citizen who had no support and could only protest. At this time, how many middle and high-level officials in Russia were not "old bureaucrats"? Even Yeltsin himself was. When Kogilev woke up, he changed from a Soviet official to a Russian official.

Needless to say, it is not uncommon for any natural change to happen. Everyone knows that Yeltsin's next step is to replace conservative officials. Those former Communist Youth League's red-skinned radish have long been impatient. How could the officials who had just changed their sects be as tough as before?

The matter of the Chinese bank group will involve diplomatic relations and geopolitics in the broad sense, and the situation in the short term will also have the impact of the current situation in Moscow. It is somewhat difficult to explain the arbitrary rejection of China.

It took Kogilev a long time to suppress his temper before he slowly said: "Diplomatic reciprocity is not applicable to the relationship between banks. If you apply for a loan from the Russian State Bank, we will see your qualification documents."

He is willing to talk, but he is showing weakness.

Officials familiar with the Soviet Union were all secretly surprised, but they didn't say anything.

Sucheng said: "Responsively, the Russian State Bank also needs RMB assistance from the Bank of China, and we also need to see your qualification documents."

"The Russian State Bank is still in the process of rectification, and the documents will not be shown to anyone before they are sorted out."

"Since the Russian State Bank is in chaos, what qualifications do you have to review our qualification documents? Our bank is very worried that you will leak secrets to people outside the bank."

"That's impossible."

"The most impossible thing has happened, nothing is impossible." Sucheng spoke for the second time as the Soviet Union collapsed.

Corgilev said very unhappy: "So, can you get the qualification documents?"

"The qualification documents are here, but we need to sign a memorandum first to ensure the scope of use of the qualification documents. You can see it. Similarly, you should hand over the qualification documents of the Russian State Bank to us at the appropriate time." After a round of words, Sucheng seemed to have made a step back.

Corgilev immediately turned around and discussed in a low voice.

Sikong Guan asked inexplicably: "What's the use of asking for their qualification documents?"

"To determine the depreciation of the ruble, we can measure interest rates." Sucheng whispered: "The Russian State Bank is the controller of the ruble. After reading their qualification documents, we can judge the control of the ruble. Moreover, when we talk about a certain level, we will give them qualification documents, and there is room for explanation. Otherwise, if we give the qualification documents from the beginning, the guy said that our qualifications are not suitable, will the loan be ruined?"

In fact, Sikong Guan understood it only in half of Sucheng's words. In terms of professional qualities, he could leave the ten streets of Sucheng. It was just that people had no idea about the collapse of a country. It was like later generations of financiers who experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, South America, East Asia, and the collapse of the eurozone... The social analysis after the collapse is more like an experience and intuition, because everything is beyond ordinary people's feelings, such as the depreciation of the currency by 10,000 times, what's the reason to say. The professors are all hindsight, and the prediction is just a big fortune.

"I will cooperate with you." Sikong Guan gave a positive answer.

"Well, you delay for a while, I'll put some pressure on him." Su Cheng nodded.

Sikong Guan said in surprise: "You want to negotiate today?"

"They were originally under pressure, and the sooner they were, the easier it was to talk about it."

“Okay.”

After a while, the Russians also held a small meeting. Kogilev turned his head and said, "We can sign a memorandum to ensure that you will not quote your qualification documents on other occasions. However, the Russian State Bank is the central bank of Russia, and our qualifications are beyond doubt..."

"The Soviet Bank was also the state bank of the Soviet Union." This time, he was unceremonious and became Sikong Guan. He attacked Kogilev with a series of nouns, and suddenly turned the negotiations into professional standards.

The Russian side did not show weakness, and kept talking nonstop.

The Chinese counselor helped him twice from time to time, staring at Su Cheng at the same time. Chairman Su changed to the far right end of the negotiating table, leaned on the chair, and made a casual phone call. His movements were definitely not in line with diplomatic etiquette. However, the Russians were still there, so it was difficult for him to correct them immediately.

Although Kogilev was talking, he was very tough. He looked at Su Cheng for a while and asked, "If you don't give in, we will have nothing to do. We can only come here first today."

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it." Su Cheng stood up and shook hands with Kogilev, as if he didn't care about his departure.

Sikong Guan looked at Su Cheng without understanding and stood up in cooperation.

"Let's give Mr. Corgilev." Su Cheng pulled Sikong Guan and others and went out together.

The counselor nodded slightly. This is etiquette diplomacy. No matter how unpleasant the quarrels are at the negotiating table, everyone should still be friends after leaving the negotiating table.

So he made an exception to accompany Sucheng, preparing to send Corgilev into the car together.

Several people walked out of the embassy's building gate while talking. When they were about to reach the embassy's gate, they suddenly heard Russian calls coming from outside the wall.

"What's going on?" Several people stopped and listened carefully.

The counselor whispered: "It was the Russians who were marching and demonstrating to the embassies of Western countries that they were only asking for and not paying. The supply of materials in Moscow has become a problem."

The latter sentence is probably his own comment.

Kogilev looked very bad and turned his head and explained, "We originally forbidden them to march in the embassy area. However, you have also seen that there are always some people who do not follow the rules."

His heart said that if it were the Soviet Union, these people would be in trouble.

It's different now, and almost no one is actually punished for inappropriate parades. The scale and extent of the parades have increased day by day.

For ordinary people, this is also a good outlet.

Another Soviet official explained: "They are protesting that some countries have failed to fulfill their commitments."

When talking about this issue, Kogilev was a little angry.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Western countries had many promises, either openly or secretly. Once the Soviet Union reversed their ideology, it would help them reform the country's economy, help the people to become rich, and at the same time provide a lot of assistance.

If the Soviet Union had simply reversed its ideology and had not disintegrated, these aids might have been fulfilled for 30% of the time.

But once the Soviet Union disintegrates, the value of the franchised republics, including Russia, will greatly decrease. Not only is the unpaid aid not realized, but also the paid aid, many of them will disappear. Everyone is waiting and seeing whether Russia can be resurrected.

And the time they waited and watched was when Russia needed help the most. During the time when food was tight, anger easily accumulated.

Su Cheng said at this time: "China and the Russian Federation are all in a row, and as long as the railway is unobstructed, it can still transport a lot of materials."

"Thanks to China for its help, but Russia needs too much supplies." Kogilev came partly because of the pressure of Chinese goods, but he did not take Chinese goods into consideration. Before and after the disintegration, the Soviet Union was indeed not so closed, but his eyes were all focused on European and American countries. Just like China, which had just reformed and opened up, was all about Japan, the United States and Britain, and he wanted to catch up with Britain and the United States. No one noticed that at that time he could not even compare to Thailand.

Su Cheng smiled and looked at Kogilev, saying, "We can provide 10,000 tons of supplies this month, I don't know if it will be helpful."

"This month? It's the 10th now."

"Well. From tomorrow on, 10,000 tons of supplies will be provided in 20 days, only 500 tons per day." This amount is not enough to supply Moscow, but it is a rare aid.

Corgilev said in surprise: "Can you do it?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "It's very simple."

"It is easy to allocate 500 tons of materials at a time, but it is difficult to 10,000 tons a month..." Kogilev understood.

Sucheng spread his hands and smiled: "China is a socialist country. Like the Soviet Union, we still maintain the strength of the national system. If necessary, tens of thousands of tons of materials are nothing."

The word "national system" is a special word in Russian. When he heard it, Kogilev's nose wings fluttered immediately, and he felt like he was returning to his most wonderful years.

This generation of Russians devoted their lives to the Soviet Union. From studying to working, the Russians enjoyed the best treatment of the Soviet Union, and the Moscow enjoyed the best treatment of Russia. For granted, their memories are mostly beautiful.

However, people always want better. It is not the Central Asian countries that are discriminated against, but the Russians and Moscows.

In a blink of an eye, Kogilev asked softly: "Is the Chinese government willing to provide assistance?"

"We only represent our respective banks. I only represent Dahua Industry." Sucheng avoided talking about national issues, but in the eyes of the Soviets, it seemed to be a secret state aid.

A Soviet man asked excitedly: "Is 100,000 tons of supplies a month free aid?"

This time, Sucheng and Kogilev looked at the fool.

"Let's sign a memorandum." Kogilev listened to the demonstrations outside the wall and put away his previous arrogance.

His arrogance is really nothing compared to 10,000 tons of supplies.

Sikong Guan was two steps behind and asked Su Cheng in a low voice: "Can we take out 10,000 tons of supplies?"

"You can take out 100,000 tons." Su Cheng smiled and said, "You underestimate China's productivity too much."

Before the production capacity of Chinese factories exploded, even the Chinese themselves could hardly believe its production capacity. Su Cheng himself knew it very well.
