The fuse that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union was the coup in August 1991. This incident had always been an important turning point for the country.
The instigators of the incident were a group of pure ideologues. They were unwilling to see the collapse of the Red regime and wanted to turn the situation around with their own strength. However, they did not expect that their actions would lead to the demise of the Soviet Union.
The result of the incident was that the reformist Yeltsin quietly took control of all the central institutions of the Soviet Union and gradually began to grasp the highest power. The Soviet Union's parliament ended its short history and all its activities in September.
The Soviet Union's economic condition was under the "careful care" of many "American experts".
The "wealth meat grinder" started by the international financiers was crushing the Soviet Union. A large number of mainstream Soviet society's life savings were destroyed overnight.
University professors, doctors, military officers, and engineers all went to the cold streets to sell all kinds of cheap goods. Some of them even had to beg.
At this time, Li Lao Er was very considerate and gave them a ticket to China.
After these Soviet experts went to China, they played an unexpected role in attracting other Soviet experts to China.
After they enjoyed God-like treatment in China, they naturally found a way to inform their relatives, classmates, and friends in China. Therefore, groups of Soviets who did not have the opportunity to go to Europe and the United States went to the China Embassy to get tickets and brought their families to China.
Because many of them wanted to return to China in the future, they strongly requested to settle in the northeast border of China. For a time, Suifenhe and Heihe were very lively.
As of mid-September, there were more than 5800 Soviets in China!
Although many of them were family members, there were still more than 2800 experts. These experts who arrived in China were undoubtedly the best in their fields.
The China government's finances were under a lot of pressure. Even the landlord's family had no surplus food, let alone Yang Bailao!
The people from the Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs were worried every day. In order to find rations for these Soviet experts, they had to put in a lot of effort.
What they could do was to quickly classify these people's personnel files. There were a lot of specific files, such as appraisal, examination, investigation materials, education, degree, achievements, training, and professional skills.
Documents that recorded a person's main experience, political outlook, moral character, and other personal information played the role of proof, basis, and reference, all of which determined the whereabouts of these people.
Currently, the place with the most employees was undoubtedly Li He's joint venture. That was because the tycoon was paying salaries and providing for expenses, so there was definitely no shortage of money.
Only a portion of the top experts from the Soviet Union were assigned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the relevant national key laboratories. The government gritted their teeth and squeezed out some funds from the limited funds to arrange for these experts.
Under the collective request of China's scientists, the Soviet Union's experts must be treated better than theirs.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
Besides, more than 20 years ago, these people were their teachers. Today, they were still qualified to be their teachers.
Moscow, which was financially defenseless, began to liberalize its financial system without any preparation or supervision.
The US financiers had set up a large number of investment banks and commercial banks in the former Soviet Union, including Soros. Through various shady methods, the US banks used higher interest rates to absorb deposits in Rubles and obtain Rubles loans from the former Soviet Union's state-owned banks. They are preparing to short Rubles.
This was the "auction of the century".
This was the fastest and craziest privatization in human history.
The Westerners did not waste this opportunity, and the people in power in the Soviet Union were not idle either. They took advantage of the privatization reform to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. They turned the Soviet Union's hard work into their own wealth.
Li He was also preparing for this, but he was not as brazen and greedy as the Westerners. He came with a sincere friendship and a large amount of cash.
Tie Haofu personally brought a box of USD to his fellow Georgian, David Chekva Izze, the assistant in Gotu's office.
Under the dim lights, two people's silhouettes could be seen in the darkness. The whole room was quiet.
Iron Ear was the first to break the silence. He pushed the box toward David. "David, you're a smart man. Leave yourself a way out. I don't want the young diplomat I'm so proud of to return home with his tail between his legs."
"Then what is your request?" David was born and raised in Georgia. Because of his cheerful personality and fluent American English, he became a popular figure in the Soviet Union's Embassy in the US.
He realized that he no longer knew who he was. As a proud and patriotic Georgian, he had always served the Soviet government. He was both a Georgian and a Soviet. But when his son was born, he decided to learn Georgian first.
Until now, when Georgia was independent, he became a foreigner. Although he still served the Soviet government.
Should he return to his hometown as a poor man with nothing, or continue to stay in Moscow as a foreigner?
He could not choose.
"Leningrad Metal Factory." Tie Haofu said his purpose.
David frowned. "A company that has stopped production."
"Yes."
"Then I think you should be interested in the Central Boiler and Turbine Research Institute right?" David looked at Tie Haofu. "Add another 500,000 USD!"
Tie Haofu smiled. "Ukraine Machinery Factory, Ukraine's largest machinery factory. Hundreds of millions of USD worth of assets only sold for 2 million USD! “
Even Ukraine's own people were not willing to be left out. The village teacher Tymoshenko could not help it. After privatization in Ukraine, she controlled many large companies, airlines, and banks.
"A hundred thousand dollars." David finally compromised after hearing this.
"Deal. I will send the money to you tomorrow. Then you can start preparing. "
Tie Haofu opened the door and walked out of the small coffee shop. He purposely took 5 to 6 turns to make sure no one was following him before he found his car.
When Li He heard Tie Haofu's news, he was overjoyed. He could not touch military companies, but these were the world's top civilian companies. He will not be lenient.
The number of companies that produced impulse turbines in the world could be counted with one hand, and one of them was Leningrad Metal Factory.
Leningrad Metal Factory was the first factory in the Soviet Union to produce steam turbines. In 1952, the factory had produced Europe's most powerful super high pressure 150 MW steam turbine. In 1958, the factory produced the first 200 MW steam turbine.
Their steam turbine technology was definitely the best in the world!
Li Shiqiang does not have the intention to operate in the Soviet Union. He will not set up a joint venture in the Soviet Union and will not set up a factory in the Soviet Union. Once Putin appears, everything will be destroyed. Even Russia's economic oligarchs could not escape from Putin. How can he, Li Shiqiang, escape?
