After the hustle and bustle, there is silence. No matter how lively the gathering is, it cannot be condensed into eternity. With the end of Nina's birthday party, Khabarovsk, which had been noisy for a few days, became calm again, and people came from all sides to join in. , and they each embarked on their return journey in a sincere or pretentious farewell. m

The congratulatory guests who came from various states, military regions, and various government departments in Moscow returned on the second day of Nina's birthday dinner. Guo Shouyun personally sent these people to the airport and watched them wait for a flight to various places. . Before that, Berezovsky and the others rushed back to Moscow that night. Everyone was busy, and Guo Shouyun did not keep them. In contrast, Khodorkovsky and Vinogradov left a little later. After Nina's birthday, they stayed in the Far East for two more days. During this period, they negotiated with Guo Shouyun about the month of July. After going to Beijing, the three boring people went to Kamchatka to take a hot spring bath, and then they finally dispersed.

Just as Guo Shouyun was busy celebrating Nina's birthday for a few days, Siquina, who was waiting in Khabarovsk, finally got a notification from the United States that the family board of directors of the Eastern Federation of Finance was working with the Morgan consortium. Competing for hidden interests from Russia has opened up rich cooperation conditions for the Guo Group.

On March 25th, the second week after Nina's birthday, a negotiating delegation consisting of 12 members, led by a managing director of the Eastern Federation of Finance and Economics, arrived in Khabarovsk by special plane. In the next four days, the delegation, the Guo brothers and Rilke, who flew back from New York in a hurry, held closed-door consultations in the headquarters building of the Guo Group. The two sides finally entered the last day of April. inside. A basic cooperation intention has been reached.

According to the cooperation agreement between the two parties, from April to the middle of the second year, that is, up to 14 months, the Far East Commercial Bank under the Kuo Group and the Chicago National Bank under the Eastern Financial Union will launch a series of In this process, Yuan Commercial Bank transferred 12% of the original equity to the National Bank of Chicago, and 27% of the equity without decision-making power to distribute dividends. In exchange, the National Bank of Chicago will transfer to Yuan Commercial Bank. Sale of 7 percent of original equity and 15 percent of non-decision-free dividends; starting in April. The four banks under the Eastern Federation of Finance will inject seven billion US dollars into the Guo Group within three months, and at the same time, the Guo Group will withdraw four billion US dollars. It was used to create the "Far East Trust and Investment Bank", in which the Guo Group holds 47.37% of the shares. The National Bank of Chicago holds 39.35% of the shares, and the remaining shares will be placed in the "Far East Stock Exchange", which will be used to absorb investment funds in the Far East. As the first joint-venture trust investment bank in the Far East, "Far East Trust" does not undertake any business related to savings on-lending. On the project of corporate acquisition of investment land; from the date of formal cooperation, Eastern Financial Union will spend huge sums of money to open insurance business in 12 large and medium-sized cities in the Far East. The "Far East International Insurance Company" headquartered in Khabarovsk will undertake all personal property insurance business except life insurance; from the date of formal cooperation, the Eastern Finance Federation will submit an application to the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris , to invite the Guo Group to join the Chamber of Commerce and officially become its member. At the same time, the Eastern Federation of Finance will also arrange the most "safe" and "reasonable" assets and business conditions for the Guo Group. According to the agreement, the evaluation will be jointly carried out by KPMG and Arthur Andersen, and the Eastern Financial Union will use all the resources in its hands to **** the Guo Group through the audit; also from the date of cooperation . The Eastern Financial Alliance will use its resources to facilitate the wholly-owned acquisition of Wang An Company by the Guo Group. At the same time, the Eastern Financial Alliance will also provide a commercial loan of not less than US$2 billion for the restructured Wang An Company. , to stimulate the smooth appreciation of its shares...

The cooperation agreement between the Guo Group and the Eastern Finance Federation has a lot of content. All aspects of the matter involve six major aspects and more than 40 small columns, and from the overall surface. The Guo Group can indeed benefit a lot from this cooperation. For example, with the help of the other party's financial strength to rapidly expand the scale. Another example is the successful acquisition of Wang An Company, and relying on the momentum of the Eastern Federation of Finance, the company will smoothly infer the appreciation of its shares. In addition, relying on the audit of two international accountant audit institutions, the group is projected to the world, completely getting rid of the previous image of "leather bag company" and shell company and so on. But this statement has to be divided into two parts. Compared with the Guo Group, the Eastern Finance Federation seems to be able to get more benefits from this cooperation, and the most significant and direct point is that they can get from this cooperation. This kind of cooperation has the best opportunity to enter the Russian privatization reform market, and this opportunity is elusive for the vast majority of businesses in the world today.

Of course, the cooperation between the two groups has also brought a lot of negative effects to each of them, and the most important point is that they have completely offended the Morgan consortium, which is deeply rooted in the United States. The opening of the door consultation meeting, the latent Far East Spiringer left Vladivostok sadly. Obviously, Morgan has canceled the plan to continue to strive for cooperation with the Guo Group, and Guo Shouyun can already feel a new round of Crisis is slowly approaching. The distinction between friend and foe in this world is sometimes very simple, either friend or enemy, a friend of a friend is not necessarily a friend, but a friend of an enemy must be an enemy.

But now Guo Shouyun is no longer the little-known person he used to be. As his strength grows day by day, the Guo Group grows step by step, and his self-confidence is also gradually enhanced. In the Far East, with his establishment The rising empire, with the intertwined and complex interpersonal relationships, he is sure to withstand the suppression from all sides.

Just when Guo Shouyun bid farewell to the peerless Xi Quina, carrying the negotiation agreement reached with the Eastern Federation of Finance, he was preoccupied with the new stage of work, the short chapter in March 1992 was already invalid. The calendar was erased from history forever, and the following April, it seemed that it was not very peaceful from the first two days.

Regarding what happened in the first few days of April, Guo Shouyun recorded the following in his personal notes: "...In the past 400-odd days of reform, the broken economic situation, the high level The high unemployment rate, the steadily rising crime incidents, the disintegration and destruction of nearly 4 million families, one by one, confirmed the complete failure of the Kremlin's democratic proposition and the Gaidar government's shock therapy. The Russians who have gradually woken up from the fantasy of liberal democracy, Begin to reflect on the mistakes they have made, and in this kind of reflection, the first wave of Bolsheviks' revival of faith appeared, and the unity of the Slavs began to take shape. On April 1, nearly 60,000 citizens of Khabarovsk braved the rain Gathered in Lenin Square, the four-hour sit-in demonstration was only a symbolic demand, they demanded that the original Lenin statue on the square be rebuilt. Their perseverance is enough to move, but more sadly, they seem to I forgot one thing, the statue on the square was originally torn down by them not long ago. In order to quell this matter, the governor, Churonov, asked me for advice, and I told him clearly, A statue can be knocked down, and naturally it can stand up. In fact, I only said half of what I said, and the next half is that when something is knocked down, it can't stand up again. Maybe it's the best sentence for me. It was confirmed that a demonstration with nearly 100,000 people participated in Moscow on the same day. The statement that Ye was a liar was finally called out by some people. Different from the strategy adopted in the 8.19 coup, the Moscow military and police once again took measures against the demonstration. The result of a forceful repression, one dead and sixty-four injured, tells people the reality that democracy is one-way, you have the power to bring him in, but not to drive him out..."

"...Khodorkovsky really saw Gusinsky through, and his previous remarks were fully authenticated, even if he did not appear in person but was invited by me. Sinsky still didn't come to the Far East to make an appointment. But this guy was very interested in the money-making plan I proposed, so this plan also got his full support. Everything that happened after that made me feel very interested in this man who once dominated the world. The empire had the deepest sense of sadness. From the 30th, six commercial banks launched a new round of blows on the ruble. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. In just four days, the exchange rate of the ruble to the dollar changed from one to one hundred and three. It dropped to one to one hundred and sixteen. Based on the total savings of the six commercial banks, nearly $160 billion of household savings was quietly evaporated in the past four days. In crazy times, you will never be able to appreciate the deep grievances that have accumulated over the whole country. Just yesterday, the Izvestia published a story about a young couple with a pair of baby twins in a certain part of Moscow. The bank took out their entire savings of 200,000 rubles, and then the moment they walked out of the bank, they hugged and jumped into the surging traffic. It was obvious that they had lost all hope in life, knowing that in twelve A few months ago, their savings could still buy a house of no less than 100 square meters in Moscow, and now...the house price in Moscow has risen to nearly 50,000 rubles per square meter. After seeing this When the news came, Nina asked me how I felt about it, and I knew she was accusing me, and the only answer I could give her was that this couple has really come to real life, it's just In the face of this slightly cruel reality, they chose their own path, and I chose a completely different path..."
