Chapter 436: , Collapse and Problems

In 1991, Moscow collapsed, shocking the sat in the Kremlin, waiting for a new life with joy on his face.

The dream that I have been planning for many years is finally coming true at this moment. However, it all seems hard-won and too illusory.

Even with Nikolayevich's great composure, he couldn't help but get excited.

But that's what it is.

In another corner of Moscow, in a luxurious private villa, Sergeyevich was watching the news reports on TV with no expression of joy or sadness on his face.

He knew that he was being monitored. Those idiots had put him under house arrest, which eventually benefited Nikolayevich, the shameless and stupid traitor.

What a shame!

At this moment, the huge Moscow Alliance was declared to have completely become history.

why?

No one knows why, history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

As for Sergeyevich today, he has no idea what the outside world thinks of him, and he doesn't care much about this opinion.

Since ancient times, the victors have been kings and the losers have been bandits, and this is true for everyone, both ancient and modern, both in China and abroad.

Nikolayevich, now full of vigor and vitality, has taken Moscow as he wished and has become a complete traitor.

I just wonder how he will be introduced in history books?

Sergeyevich didn't know that he was now heartbroken and only knew that his future was gone.

He didn't even know how long he would be under house arrest in this villa.

Just because Moscow today is still very chaotic.

And those Moscow nobles are probably still living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, right?

In fact, they were not living a life of drunkenness and dream. Many of them had either fled overseas or surrendered to Nikolayevich.

But most of them were acquired by the seven oligarchs: Maxim, Ivan Yuri, Anastasia and others.

Yes, it was acquired.

Today's Moscow is ruled by seven oligarchs.

Although Nikolayevich was very powerful, he could not withstand the fact that people like Maxim controlled the entire economic lifeline of Moscow.

Simply put, if Maxim and others want to raise the price of a certain commodity, then they can do so. It's just a matter of a word from them.

In addition, they themselves were of Moscow aristocratic origin, which made them even more lawless.

why?

Because in the past one or two years, the nearly 700,000 Moscow nobles have been reduced to just over 500,000.

However, these more than 500,000 Moscow nobles are still a very large group.

It is easy to imagine how terrifying the interest group composed of such people is.

The seven oligarchs are the leaders of this interest group. They are the representatives elected by the more than 500,000 Moscow nobles.

Bang!

Not long after Nikolayevich took control of Moscow, he was shocked to find that in order to convey his orders, he had to rely on these seven oligarchs?

It’s just a joke!

For Nikolayevich, this was definitely something that could not be tolerated.

How can I tolerate this?

I can't bear it!

Do it!

However, it was obvious that Nikolayevich could not defeat these seven oligarchs.

Firstly, Nikolayevich had just entered the Kremlin not long ago and did not have a very good understanding of the situation in Moscow as a whole, and his control was average.

Secondly, he had to face more than 500,000 Moscow nobles. How could they be defeated so easily by him?

impossible!

This led to a shocking result: Nikolayevich's power seemed to be only half.

Because the other half is controlled by the seven oligarchs.

The only thing that made Nikolayevich feel a little relieved was that Moscow's economy not only did not collapse due to the disintegration of the Moscow Union, but instead seemed to be thriving.

Haha, this is just his illusion.

The ruble has already plummeted, there's nothing to speak of with this economy.

Moscow itself does not have much wealth, and now capital from Europe, America, Tokyo, Garden Cities, Hong Kong Island and other places are all rushing in, wanting to take a sip before running away.

After all, today's ruble is free falling directly from a ten-meter diving platform, which also means benefits.

The worthless ruble will naturally cause many things to happen.

"Maxim, you are the president of the First Moscow State Bank. Do you have any good ideas for the current chaotic financial market in our country?"

On this day, Nikolayevich had to invite Maxim to the Kremlin to ask him if he had any good ideas.

It was said to be a request for advice, but in fact it was to force Maxim to step up and solve the current financial market problems in Moscow.

what is the problem?

The ruble is collapsing, national assets have shrunk significantly, inflation is extremely serious, and there are external capital giants causing trouble.

The reason why so many problems arise is that the entire economic foundation of Moscow is collapsing.

From the original 700,000 Moscow nobles, they gradually collapsed and fled to only more than 500,000 Moscow nobles left, and these disappeared Moscow nobles were all people who were originally in high positions.

For example, Kozlov was the third in command of St. Petersburg, a top man who truly controlled a lot of actual power.

However, such a person had already fled St. Petersburg before.

Not only did he flee Moscow, but he also took away more than 3 billion US dollars.

The most important thing is that behind these more than 3 billion US dollars are numerous industrial chains, factories, talents, etc. This series of losses gradually formed a trend, leading to the collapse of Moscow's economy.

If it was just Kozlov, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, his influence was very limited.

However, there are Ivanov, Gabulov, Kombalov and others. Their disappearance has caused such a chain reaction, and finally after the collapse of the Moscow Alliance, all the influence has been released.

This is a bit like opening the floodgates of a reservoir. The whistle before the flood is released has sounded the alarm, and then at the moment of the flood release, there will naturally be landslides and earthquakes.

The second reason is the overall economic environment in Moscow.

Industrial hollowing out, fiscal deficits, inflation and other factors have a mutual impact, and these factors combined together naturally cause the ruble to continue to depreciate.

Long before Nikolayevich and Sergeyevich fought for power, Sergeyevich had carried out several economic reforms.

At that time, Sergeyevich was faced with the problem of Moscow's increasing fiscal deficit year by year. His solution was very simple and crude: let the Moscow State Bank issue a large amount of currency.

From 1986 to 1989, Moscow's inflation rate soared from 6% to 13%, which was extremely terrifying. From 1989 to today, the inflation rate has exceeded 100%, which is impossible to calculate.

Anyway, the value of the ruble has been severely weakened and it is not worth watching.

Finally, there is the issue of external economic crisis, which has a lot to do with the international financial tsunami triggered by Tokyo and the large amount of capital from Europe and the United States entering the Moscow market.

With the collapse of the Moscow Union, it was gone forever.

In order to survive, many native Moscow residents had to sell their property.

One truckload of bread could be exchanged for two or even more truckloads of Moscow industrial products, or tanks, airplanes, steel, etc.

It’s unimaginable!

Many neighbors near Moscow want to come to Moscow to do business because it is really profitable.

Bread is very expensive in Moscow because the ruble has depreciated severely. The rubles in the hands of many Moscow locals have become waste paper, and they can't afford to buy food.

So, at this time, if someone told him that he had a truckload of rice, he would definitely be happy to exchange it with that person for his tractor, car, etc.

It's such an exaggeration.

The light and heavy industries in Moscow as a whole are seriously unbalanced, to the extreme.

Heavy industry accounts for more than 95 percent of Moscow's economy.

So many problems are what Moscow is currently facing.

Take the 90% of Moscow's food companies controlled by Andrei Ilya, for example. In fact, they are just twelve large food industrial manufacturing plants.

Just twelve food-related manufacturing plants account for 90 percent of Moscow's food industry. One can imagine how serious the imbalance in Moscow's economy is.

So many questions to ask a man like Maxim?

Maxim, who was well prepared, of course refused directly.

Nikolayevich seems to be an easy person to get along with, but in fact he is not that simple.

Today's Nikolayevich has just entered the Kremlin, so he has to show his tolerance, modesty and ability to listen to others' opinions.

If he behaves too domineeringly, is too stubborn and refuses to listen to advice, it will definitely have a great impact on his future.

Seeing that Maxim directly refused, Nikolayevich hurriedly continued the greetings and then tried to test him with words.

If you don't have any suggestions, then you can always share your opinions, right?

He has shown such good patience, shouldn't Maxim let down his guard?

In fact, Maxim is just a puppet, and he has no say on what he wants to do.

To be precise, the one who is talking to Nikolayevich now is not Maxim alone, but Zhao Zunmin and his group.

Zhao Zunmin and his team, who have advanced high-tech equipment, had already made Maxim wear relevant audio-visual equipment in his ears.

Nikolayevich had no idea about this tiny electronic device, and his guards had not checked it out before Maxim came in.

In 1960, Chen Guohua established the Zhenhua Research Institute. Now it is 1991, and thirty years have passed, almost thirty-one years.

Such a long period of time has allowed the Zhenhua Research Institute to develop more advanced mini equipment.

The war of equipment such as audio-visual and eavesdropping started a long time ago. For example, the war between Moscow and Washington was quite famous.

Zhao Zunmin, Zhang Qingshan, Ma Shouchang and others were listening to Nikolayevich's probing and then had a conversation with the latter.

In fact, today's meeting is a test, it can be said to be a test between both parties.

There are many problems in Moscow today, and if Nikolayevich wants to solve these problems, he will undoubtedly need more help.

And Maxim is not his only choice.

Even if possible, Nikolayevich wanted to kill Maxim and let his own people take his place.

But it couldn't be done, and Nikolayevich didn't dare to do it.

If he dared to do so, Moscow would become even more chaotic, and it would be more difficult for Nikolayevich to manage Moscow and sort out its economy.

This attempt finally ended after lasting more than half an hour.

When Maxim walked out of the Kremlin, his entire back was soaked with sweat.

Of course he was very nervous because he had to control his facial expressions and make sure that what he said was what Zhao Zunmin and the others wanted to hear.

Being bullied from both sides, this is Maxim's current situation.

Fortunately, he did a pretty good job as an actor and didn't mess up the performance.

The next day, Yaroslav was called to meet and talk with Nikolayevich.

The seven oligarchs of Moscow are currently a major force in saving Moscow's economy.

The financial and economic problems of Moscow as a whole are very obvious.

Therefore, even though Nikolayevich was very busy, he had to meet with the seven oligarchs.

While Nikolayevich was busy solving Moscow's financial problems, a large amount of wealth was still flowing out of Moscow.

The sea trade routes to the Far East continuously transport large amounts of ore, crude oil, natural gas and other materials from Moscow, and then transport a lot of light industrial products such as food, shoes, and clothes.

Food, clothes, vodka and other things are the most scarce things in the entire Moscow market at present.

These products are now monopolized by China Resources Corporation, Dark Night King and other companies.

The reason is very simple. The cost of transporting them is very low, and the cost of these commodities such as food, shampoo, shoes and clothes is also very low.

The development of domestic light industry began in the 1960s, and by the end of the 1960s, it had developed very well.

Because in May 1966, Chen Guohua’s eldest nephew went to North America and established a Qian Duoduo Supermarket.

Qian Duoduo is a supermarket that has all kinds of products on its shelves, so by the end of the 1960s, the country's light industry had already developed very well.

Especially after the reform and opening up in 1978, the development speed was even faster.

This has also led to the cost of many light industrial products becoming very low.

The price was low and the product quality was good. After it appeared in Moscow, it quickly became popular. (End of this chapter)
