Go back to 1990 to start a business

Xia Chuan, Zang Hong, and Zhu Yi have flown back to Vladivostok and are sitting in the headquarters building.

They just stayed on the phone, watched the Moscow news broadcast, kept in constant contact with branches in various places, and reported anything that happened immediately.

Be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time, such as people running on withdrawals.

[-]pm Khabarovsk time.

On the news, hundreds of armored vehicles poured into Moscow, and the tank column stretched as far as the eye could see, occupying major traffic arteries, squares, important institutions, and surrounding the main government building.

At this time, the exchange rate had dropped to [-] to [-], which was where Zhu Yi originally wanted to buy the bottom.

The international foreign exchange market is in turmoil, with speculative and panic orders causing ruble transactions to increase dramatically by dozens of times, and massive amounts of monetary sovereignty are changing hands frequently.

Of course, this is just a change in bank accounting symbols, not cash being moved between banks.Because of the dramatic fluctuations and time constraints, inter-bank transactions are just a matter of phone calls.But no one can expect to suffer a loss without admitting it. The credibility of banks is more important than anything else, not to mention that there are audio records.

People's panic is spreading.

Immediately afterwards, the Emergency Committee issued proclamations such as the People's Letter to the People's Republic of China, announcing that it would take over all power of the country, cancel freedom of the press, and call on the people to rise up and save the motherland.

The exchange rate fell to one to eighty.

The people's confidence in the ruble is entirely based on the strong Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union disintegrates, the ruble will not be able to return.

Now, although Su X has not disintegrated, it is just an internal change, but from this incident, people can see that this behemoth is already full of cracks and may collapse at any time in the next shock.

Phone calls from the branch came in one after another, and secretaries frequently came in to report:

“There was a run on all the Khabarovsk branches, and the total number of people withdrawing money exceeded 500!”

“There was a run at the Hailanpao branch, and more than [-] people made withdrawals!”

"General Manager, there's a run at the headquarters. Should we leave work early?"

Zhu Yi glared: "Absurd, this is the time to establish the credibility of the bank, extend the business hours, even if the service is day and night, all must be paid to them! If the money is not enough, the cash position will be borrowed from the National Bank at an emergency high interest rate. If the National Bank in Vladivostok is off work If you don’t, just borrow money from the Moscow State Bank and ask them to transfer cash from the Far East!”

Moscow is seven hours behind Khabarovsk, so it’s definitely not time to get off work.It is too simple for the National Bank to adjust its positions. They know best where the cash is.

Xia Chuan finally spoke: "Eat the rubles with all your strength!"

Zhu Yi picked up the phone and personally operated it as the general manager. In just 10 minutes, he completed foreign exchange transactions with several international banks, and all the U.S. dollars were converted back into rubles, including Pavlov's 5000 million U.S. dollars.

at the same time--

Zuo Shiyun made a call to the Bank of France in Yanjing and entrusted him to exchange all the US$500 million in his account into rubles.Of course, the cost of this kind of transaction is several times higher than that of inter-bank transactions. If you make a wrong judgment, you will suffer huge losses several times.

But Zuo Shiyun was unmistakable. She was as relaxed and leisurely as if she were strolling in a garden.

At this time, the Far Eastern International Bank only switched from US dollars, and the original one ruble became eight rubles.

Huge amounts of rubles.

Of course, these are all book figures, but the money will not escape.

Zhu Yi completed the transaction and sat on the chair as if exhausted. Without Xia Chuan, she would have collapsed. This was a huge gamble.

"Xia Chuan, how long do you think the run will last?"

"One day at most." Xia Chuan said lightly.

The evolution of the situation may seem confusing to outsiders, but to Xia Chuan, it seems to be moving along a fixed trajectory.

Subsequent developments completely verified Xia Chuan's judgment.

The emergency committee made several fatal mistakes.

First of all, they mistook the enemy. The real enemy was not Ge, but Ye.

This mistake allowed them to just put Ye under house arrest. Not only did they not kill him, they didn't even cut off communications!

At first, Ye was knocked on the door by his secretary in the middle of the night, knowing that his villa had been surrounded by the KGB.

At that time, he was still lying on the bed, and he felt that he was finished.

When you judge someone with your own heart, the first thing you do is kill him.

On the contrary, his wife asked calmly: "Since we are still alive, shouldn't we do something?"

Ye thought it was right, he had to make some effort, so he got dressed and picked up the phone. Although he didn't believe he could get through, this was the only thing he could think of.

As a result, the call went through.

Ye was instantly resurrected with full health. The hero then talked on the phone with several people, including Sobchak from the democrats, and quickly learned about the situation outside. Then, he used a little trick to get out of trouble.

The most awesome thing is that he did not find a place to hide, but staged the most classic scene of standing on a tank and giving a speech.

This speech is like lifting a thousand pounds with four ounces.

The public didn't know that those in the audience were journalists. The angle of the camera was very clever, making it look like a huge crowd of supporters. In fact, there were only dozens of reporters and not a single citizen.

As a result, the people were incited by him.

10 people took to the streets to support Ye.

In the final analysis, the reason for the failure was the loss of popular support.

The second mistake made by the emergency committee was to blame each other. Everyone wanted to leave a way out for themselves, and no one wanted to take the responsibility of shooting at the people.

The consequence was that defense boss Yazov refused to take sole responsibility and ordered the troops to withdraw from Moscow.

The other seven people were all trapped.

The ruble exchange rate rebounded sharply, from one to eighty to one to forty.

Zhu Yi suddenly changed from anxious to excited. The squeeze had been going on for almost a day, and she was under too much pressure.

Sure enough, the secretary came in and reported: "People who ran on the bank began to leave, and people who made deposits began to increase."

Zhu Yi asked excitedly: "Xia Chuan, are there any twists and turns in this matter? Will there be another run?"

Xia Chuan said leisurely: "If depositors lose confidence in the country, they will definitely go to the bank to run and withdraw money. But looking at the problem from the perspective of ordinary people, Su X is still there, the reformers (Ge's family), the radicals (Ye's family), democracy The conservatives (Sox) and the conservatives (drunk driving) are all here, but can the traditionalists (emergency committee) succeed? So the people's hearts will not collapse, and the run will not happen again."

During these 72 hours, various factions used dazzling scenes of struggle.

Of course, the conservative drunk driver supports the emergency committee, just to let them die a more heroic death and use Ye's hands to remove their own obstacles.

The emergency committee made a third mistake.

Alpha was the KGB's trump card, just like the signal flag.

KGB boss Kriuch ordered Alpha to forcibly capture the Zhengfu Building and arrest or execute Ye and other 11 major figures on the spot.

"Alfa" is equipped with helicopters, grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles, and various cutting-edge weapons. Its members are highly educated. When they receive an order, they know that no one can resist it and can complete the mission in 30 minutes.

However, this move will inevitably lead to massive bloodshed among civilians and bring an indelible shame to Alpha.

So all the commanders unanimously said: "Alpha will not carry out this order."

Then, again and again, the time for the attack was postponed.

由8月20日凌晨3时改到18时、22时，再改到21日凌晨3时。

More than 20 commanders of "Alfa" were approached one by one by their superiors to reprimand them, and were threatened with 'sent to military court', 'executed', etc., but still none of them obeyed.

The chaos lasted for three days, and the situation took a turn for the worse: Geshi was back.

Then the situation quickly stabilized.

The ruble exchange rate soared, returning to one to twelve, almost completely regaining its lost ground.

Far Eastern Bank's deposits surged, several times more than before.

The performance of Far East Bank in the past three days has completely won the trust of the people. Those who originally liked to keep their money in the cellar took it out and deposited it in Far East Bank.

Funds from the National Bank flowed into the Far Eastern Bank.

The net assets of Far East Bank have rapidly expanded to US$15 billion after this round of speculation!
