Chapter 492 As long as you dare to sell, I dare to buy!
The Dnieper River flows quietly. In the Ukrainian landscape, this great river runs across the north and south like a flowing silver ribbon.
To ordinary people, this may just be a common river in geography textbooks.
However, for Ukraine, it carries too many historical scars and the pain of national division.
Some say that this river divides Ukraine's destiny, separating the east and west banks like two worlds.
The east coast was once long influenced by polar bears, while the west coast was more under the rule of Poland, Lithuania, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Such different historical backgrounds have gradually led the residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to form completely different cultural and political identities.
For a long time, people living on the east and west sides of the Taiwan Strait even used different languages.
Of course, in Ukraine of this era, this naturally does not happen.
There is only one official language, which is Russian.
Kyiv.
One after another, Mercedes-Benz cars drove on the streets, forming a majestic and magnificent luxury convoy.
This is an extremely rare scene on the streets of Kiev.
There is uncontrollable greed in the eyes of many people.
However, under the escort of dozens of armed pickup trucks, the heavy machine guns on the trucks flashing with cold light made those covetous eyes become clear and stupid again.
"Is this the so-called paradise on earth? Why do these people's faces not only lack faith, but are instead empty and numb?"
As a standing committee member of Hutchison, Yang Chengrong also came to Polar Bear with Brother Hao this time, and was mainly responsible for security work.
After all, compared to Hong Kong Island, the people here are still more tough.
In 1948, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered his famous Iron Curtain Speech, which is regarded as the beginning of the Cold War.
In recent years, the confrontation between the two poles of the world has intensified, evolving from science and technology, people's livelihood and military at the beginning to a space race.
As a giant, the polar bear is gradually being dragged down by the increasing huge expenditures.
Because, from the perspective of ordinary people at the grassroots, these messy research and development and competitions not only cannot make them earn an extra ruble a month, but also cannot make them eat an extra loaf of bread.
In addition to the increasingly expensive food, there is also an increasingly deteriorating economic situation and a future that seems to be shrouded in mystery.
Lin Zehao, who is familiar with this history, started planning several years ago.
Over the years, he has owned a lot of assets in Polar Bear, especially Ermao, all of which are sophisticated industries.
Of course, Lin Zehao had also made arrangements in the financial field. He used proof of assets, personal connections and rubles to pave the way. He has already lent more than 300 billion rubles to banks in major cities in Polar Bear.
And until now, the amount of this loan is still increasing.
Because Lin Zehao set up a special loan public relations company with a total of 136 employees. They only need to do one thing, which is to keep looking for connections, spending rubles, and taking out loans.
As for the interest rate, it doesn’t matter whether it is higher or lower. Even if it is usury, as long as you are willing to approve it, they will dare to lend it!
Otherwise, how could he have enough money to support so many companies and employees, and to vigorously acquire and develop Hong Kong while expanding globally?
The money earned through the community is not worth mentioning compared to commercial means.
Otherwise, the leaders of those societies would have already become top businessmen.
Now is the last twilight of the polar bears, so the ruble is still very valuable, and one dollar can only be exchanged for rubles.
Yes, the ruble is worth more than the dollar.
The more than 30 billion rubles that Lin Zehao borrowed is almost equivalent to 60 billion US dollars.
Of course, Lin Zehao was not in a hurry to repay these loans. To be exact, he had no intention of repaying them in a short period of time.
Because, at the end of 6000, one dollar could be exchanged for nearly rubles.
That’s right, the real world is often more magical than novels. Plots that novels dare not write about actually happen in reality.
And this is just the first step for Lin Zehao to devour the polar bear.
More backup plans can only be implemented after the polar bear collapses completely.
At that time, he could follow America and plunder the polar bear's heritage.
You know, according to incomplete statistics, after the disintegration of the polar bear, the United States has looted nearly 28 trillion US dollars in assets!
This is also the reason why Big Mao, who inherited the legacy of the polar bear, will suffer an economic setback in the next few decades.
Because this huge wealth is the accumulation of polar bears over seventy years!
Once it all dissipated, it was considered resilient if it didn't collapse outright.
"Some things are just fig leaves. If you tear them off, they will become ugly."
"Some time ago, according to official statistics, the happiness and satisfaction of the people of this huge country was over 97 percent. How can they say such things, let alone other things?"
Of course, I'm talking about the Qing Dynasty.
Lin Zehao withdrew his gaze. After passing the inspection of the gate guard, the convoy arrived at its destination, the base of the 17th Air Force of Ermao.
After a series of inspections, Lin Zehao brought A Mai and Park Xiongzhe into the commander's office.
As for Yang Chengrong, he brought people outside to support them so that if any unexpected situation occurred, their way of survival would not be cut off.
"Dear Lin, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for so long."
Kostiantin Morozov, the current commander of the 17th Air Force, has thick blond hair and a thick beard on his chin. He wears a military uniform without epaulettes. He is tall and strong, a typical Caucasian.
After the dissolution of Polar Bear, he will become Ermao's Minister of Defense, and his career will be further advanced.
Of course, only Lin Zehao knows this news at present.
After Lin Zehao gave him a warm hug, he sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "How is your son doing in America? Is he used to it?"
Morozov's children were sent out through him.
As the saying goes, ducks know first when the river water warms in spring.
The collapse of such a huge empire definitely did not happen overnight. Many problems had already emerged, but they were not taken seriously for various reasons, or some people simply did not care.
As a famous arsenal for Polar Bear Heavy Industry and aircraft carrier construction, Ermao’s top brass had long been warned of certain directions and trends.
For example, secretly sending their family members' descendants to the evil capitalist countries is one of their backup plans.
Of course, the so-called secret is actually an unspoken rule among certain classes. Looking at the top leaders of the opposing camp, they all criticize, but in fact, their children have basically studied abroad in capitalism.
Didn’t even the famous General White Horse go to school in Switzerland in his early years?
Otherwise, why would he buy Maybach for the people while only having the right to use it for 24 hours?
"Very good. He called me and said that it's very free over there. It's not as oppressive as here. You don't even dare to complain, otherwise you will be shot."
Morozov initially joined this group with firm belief, but he didn't know when everything changed.
What they shout are just empty slogans, and everyone is using the power in their hands to make money for themselves.
Power is the source of control over everything.
His son and his wife's monthly expenses in the United States are more than 20,000 US dollars, and his salary, which is not paid on time, is simply a drop in the bucket.
If the ancestors who created the current situation still fought for the benefit of all living beings with lofty beliefs, now they have all become sophisticated egoists.
It is just like the old saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
"Let's not talk about these sad things. Dear Lin, how long are you going to stay this time? We have been bothering you before. This time, you must let us do our best to be a good host."
That’s right, Morozov represents not only himself, but also a group with considerable power.
To be precise, now more than 70% of the senior officials in the entire Ermao group have boarded Lin Zehao's big ship.
Lin Zehao has always believed in interacting in leisure time and using in critical moments.
And this is the result of his five years of planning!
"If everything goes well, I should be able to stay for a few months. There are still some things waiting for me to deal with on the island country."
"How are you guys doing here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The island nation's economic bubble in the 1990s was a great opportunity to buy at the bottom. How could Lin Zehao miss it?
This is the difference between the rich and ordinary people. After discovering business opportunities, the former can quickly turn them into reality through resources and connections.
As for the latter, even if they are lucky enough to discover a business opportunity, they do not have the ability to turn it into reality.
Simply put, the water is too deep here and you can't control it.
Therefore, the first pot of gold is the most important!
This is also the reason why Lin Zehao chose to fight for the world.
If it weren’t for Hutchison Whampoa as his original accumulation, he would definitely not be where he is today.
Among these, ability, luck, courage, vision, etc. are all indispensable.
Since ancient times, almost everyone who has been able to achieve great things has possessed these decisive factors.
Morozov stood up and personally poured Lin Zehao a glass of high-concentration vodka. "Let's drink and talk. The current situation is a little wrong."
After complaining, he sat down next to Lin Zehao, took a big sip of vodka, and said, "The economic situation of all member states is not good now. As a major grain-producing country, we have to spend tens of billions of rubles on purchasing grain every year. This is as ridiculous as a loaf of bread costing 500,000 marks!"
"Nowadays, the rubles earned by ordinary citizens after working hard for a month are barely enough to feed a family of three!"
"From now on, if there is any slight change, it will be a devastating blow to the stability of society!"
"What's funny is that even though the domestic situation has deteriorated to this point, those people at the top are still thinking about fighting for power and profit, and fighting among themselves..."
Morozov took a deep breath and drank the remaining half glass of vodka in one gulp.
He wanted to drink more, but Lin Zehao held down his hand as he was about to pour the wine. He said in a deep voice, "Some things are the inevitable result of the times. Even if we individuals are very capable, we cannot change the general trend."
"We can only try our best to fix some minor details."
The dust of the times falls on every ordinary person like a mountain that is difficult to move.
The so-called pain of the times, for ordinary people, is an unavoidable life experience.
The total population of the sixteen member states is more than hundreds of millions.
After Lin Zehao's persuasion, Morozov came out of his lost state and regained his former decisiveness.
"Lin, you are right. If a person does not take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Now is the time to think about yourself."
"According to our discussions and research, we can sell you any aircraft type in the current air force fleet, except for the strategic bombers directly under the Supreme Command Division."
"Including MiG-27 and Su-27?"
These two fighter jets are basically the latest research results of Polar Bear. They have not been in service for a long time and are also one of the highest achievements of human weapons at this stage.
Morozov, who was originally full of confidence, collapsed in an instant and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid there is still no way to deal with these two fighters. There are many eyes staring at us now. This kind of thing is too conspicuous..."
Lin Zehao didn't care. Even if Morozov was willing to sell, he probably wouldn't buy in large quantities.
This kind of high-tech equipment is too expensive to produce. Each ship costs at least 30 million US dollars. The black guys in Africa simply cannot afford it, let alone understand how to use it.
Secondly, it is indeed too eye-catching.
After all, polar bears can compete with America. If this kind of power flows into the market, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, which will be counterproductive.
"Well, I won't tell you the specific models. As long as you want to sell, can sell, and dare to sell something, whether it's an airplane, a tank, or an aircraft carrier, I'll take it all!"
"Whether you want money or supplies, it's no problem."
"I only have one request, and that's the price."
"You should also know that the main feature of Polar Bear's products is that they are durable. If the price is too high, no one will buy them."
Lin Zehao didn't waste any words and directly put forward the conditions.
"Dear Lin, your appetite is too big, isn't it?"
"Although our products are not expensive, the quantity is huge!"
"Take tanks for example. This time we are going to sell two divisions of tanks, a total of nearly 700 tanks!"
Although Morozov was only an air force commander, the circle behind him was very large, including members of the navy, army, and government departments.
Because he was familiar with Lin Zehao, he was appointed as the negotiation representative.
This transaction is definitely an astronomical figure!
Lin Zehao took a sip of vodka and said calmly, "These are not a problem. Let alone 700 tanks, even if you take out 7,000, I can pay for it."
"I still say that as long as you dare to sell, I dare to buy!"
