?Lokhov Riverside Holiday Villa is not a simple villa, just like Su's holiday villa, it is a villa area with a wide range, the total area covers several hectares, including large and small independent buildings More than twenty buildings. /w/ On the south side of the villa area is the quiet flowing Heilongjiang River, while on the east and west sides, there are large forests planted along the river. Directions to downtown Lofts.

The day before, Guo Shouyun took Nina to see the house. He and Nina had the same opinion. Both of them took a fancy to the three-story independent building in the center of the south side of the villa area. This villa is next to Heilongjiang, facing south and north. Looking from the front courtyard of the villa, you can even directly see Fuyuan, China, across the river. Nina likes this villa because the scenery here is very good, and Guo Shouyun is not interested in the so-called scenery. He likes this villa because it is located on the southernmost side of the villa area, and the security work is easier. Do it right.

In order to ensure the safety of the villa area, Guo Shouyun discussed with Yakov in the past two days. He assigned part of the buildings around the villa area to the Safety Committee, and those who moved in here were naturally the Far East Branch of the Safety Committee. At the same time, the daily security work of the villa area was also handed over to the secret police of the Security Committee.

The facilities in the villa area are very complete, and the family can move in with almost no preparation. Guo Shouyun still respects Nina. Their wedding has not yet been held, so Nina has her own room in the villa. It was right next door to Guo Shouyun's apartment, and as for Larisa and Nikita's room, it was on the second floor, which was their downstairs. For some reason, Nina even arranged a room for little Victor, but this little girl obviously doesn't pay much attention to it. Although she has accepted many new things during this time, she is not interested in Guo Shouyun. Dependence has not weakened at all. Compared with living alone in a room, she prefers to live with Guo Shouyun.

Today is the day Shoucheng will come from Canada. Guo Shouyun had arranged to pick him up at the airport last night, and he has not seen his brother for more than half a month. Honestly, I really miss him. But just as he was about to take Nina to the airport, two unexpected visitors disrupted his plans. In desperation, he had to arrange another person to pick him up at the airport.

The two people who came from Moscow were accompanied by Qiaokoan, general manager of the Industrial Bank of Khabarovsk City, according to reports. One of the two people was named Kalos and the other was named Yusuf. As for their identities. Formerly the head of Societe Generale's Eastern European and Soviet headquarters. After that, he was the general manager of the Soviet headquarters of the Industrial Bank.

Two senior staff of Industrial Bank made a surprise visit. This could not but arouse Guo Shouyun's attention.

At present, the Soviet Union has not done much to liberalize the financial market, and Xingye can be regarded as one of the first large multinational commercial banks to enter the Soviet Union. Before. Guo Shouyun has always had close cooperation with Xingye in the Far East. He transfers funds overseas and speculates in foreign exchange in the international currency market, a large part of which is operated by Xingye. Of course, Industrial Bank also got a lot of benefits from him. Due to the restrictions of the Soviet Union's financial policy, foreign commercial banks could not handle funds of more than 50,000 rubles in the Soviet Union. Guo Shouyun did not cooperate with Industrial Land in the past. A business is less than 300,000 rubles. Especially in the recent stage, the capital transactions handled by the Guo Group through Industrial Development are often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of rubles. At this point, if there was no Guo Shouyun's shelter and the Guo Group's signboard hanging there, the Central Bank of the Soviet Union would have come to the door long ago. Therefore, to a large extent, the French headquarters of Industrial Bank has already listed Guo Shouyun as the focus of attention.

The Soviet Union, which is about to end in disintegration, can be described as full of business opportunities. Anyone who cares can feel this. A large number of foreign banks, financial institutions, and venture funds are flocking to the Soviet Union in this environment. The purpose is to **** this opportunity. Business. Well-known banks such as Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered, HSBC, etc., have quietly entered the Soviet market two years ago, but due to the constraints of the Soviet Union's financial policies, their development has not improved. However, this does not stymie these financial investors. In the past one or two years, they have selected a group of wise agents in the Soviet Union through so-called joint ventures and financing. The way of the bank gradually opened up a little situation.

However, the decision-making of these banks, as long as they focus on the hinterland of the Soviet Union, places such as Moscow, Leningrad, Tula, and Kiev are the areas they have paid most attention to in the past. As for the Far East, they have not paid attention to them before. inside. Most of the foundations that came to the Far East before were purely political foundations. As for commercial banks, there were only a few lesser-known ones, except for Societe Generale.

For Societe Generale, the reason why they opened branches in the Far East was a tasteless idea at the beginning. The main purpose was to absorb the deposits of the Soviets and hoard cash in rubles. As for investment, they believed that they should focus more on Moscow. .

However, the sudden rise of Guo Shouyun made the decision-makers of the board of directors of Xingye smell an unusual breath. In their eyes, this young Chinese who has been in the Far East for less than a year is simply a mysterious legend. figure. When he founded the Guo's Trading Company a few months ago, he still needed to borrow funds from Xingye in the form of mortgage loans. In the past few months, the Guo's Group has developed rapidly. During the whole process But they never borrowed even a penny from Societe Generale. On the contrary, this group has continuously transferred funds to the Soviet Union in various names.

Especially in the past two days, the six branches of Industrial Development in the Far East have been continuously receiving business orders from Far East Commercial Bank. Through these orders, in just over a day, Far East Commercial Bank sold the business in the form of spot transactions. A total of 1.9 billion USD spot foreign exchange was purchased, while the repurchased rubles, which have continued to depreciate recently.

There is no doubt that the Far East Commercial Bank, which belongs to the Guo Group, is doing foreign exchange speculation, and they believe that the US dollar will fall in the near future, and the ruble will have a trend of appreciation. To be honest, for an international commercial bank with a long history and strong strength like Xingye, a one-billion-dollar spot foreign exchange transaction is not a big business. In addition, there are very few private commercial banks that can easily mobilize nearly two billion US dollars in cash in one or two days. What's more, this bank has mobilized so much funds to speculate in foreign exchange in the international currency market. If it does not have enough strength, who would dare to take such a big risk?

Of course, the board of directors of Societe Generale had already heard about the rise of Guo Shouyun, especially his actions in the political power field of the Soviet Union, but they did not take it to heart at the initial stage, because they also had a role in the Soviet Union. Some proxies, even the Yeh government, are secretly accepting their political donations. They have great confidence that they can get the part of the compensation they want after the fall of the Soviet Bolshevik Party and the power of the Ye family.

But now it is different. The parliamentary cabinet has just introduced a new policy, a quietly issued document, which will force Societe Generale to end the practice of providing financial assistance to Soviet radicals for free in the past two years, and this restriction does not only exist in France. Almost all of the member states of the Atlantic Treaty Organization have issued such restriction orders - the nationalization of this power by countries is to use the issue of loans to negotiate with the new Soviet government that is about to be established.

As a government of a country, it is impossible to only consider the interests of one industry or one or two people. Now all the business opportunities hidden in the Soviet Union can be seen by everyone. The consortium of the soup will not just pass this opportunity. Therefore, whether in France, or in the United Kingdom or the United States, truly powerful people will not hand over this opportunity to financial institutions. They need the state to come forward and use the state loan as a bargaining chip to force the new Soviet government to make concessions, open the door, and let them in to "feast". Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that commercial banking institutions' loans to the Soviet government were restricted.

In the past two days, the major shareholders of Industrial Bank gathered in Paris and held three emergency consultations successively to discuss countermeasures against the government's restrictive measures. In the end, they will definitely turn their previous financial support for Soviet radical political groups to a policy that is not subject to policy. Restricted NGOs, and among these people, Guo Shouyun, who got up from the Far East, is naturally the most striking.

In this way, in the following period of time, the Asset Investigation Department of Industrial Bank began to work quickly to evaluate the assets of Guo Shouyun's Guo Group, and quickly formulated a financing holding cooperation intention that was quite attractive to them. According to these cooperation intentions, Industrial Bank will invest 50 billion francs, or US$5 billion, in holding capital of Guo Group in three installments to achieve the goal of holding 40% of Guo Group. According to their calculations, this financing The plan should be acceptable to Guo Shouyun, because the current Guo Group's assets are far from reaching such a high level.

It is with this purpose in mind that Kalos and Yusuf traveled thousands of miles from Moscow to the Far East. They came with great enthusiasm, thinking that there should be no difficulty in reaching this big contract, but they never expected it. Yes, after Guo Shouyun understood their intention, he didn't even think about it, so he refused directly.
