?As Guo Shouyun said, the negotiation in the process of eating, drinking and drinking may achieve better results. For Rilke, an authentic Jewish businessman, he deeply realized this today. \\

Starting from a few minutes after three o'clock, Guo Shouyun and Rilke talked in the office for nearly three hours. During these three hours, through open and honest conversations, both of them had a good understanding of each other's temperament. Comprehensive grasp. Of course, perhaps for them, the most important meaning of this conversation is not just their understanding of each other, but the most important thing for them is the initial cooperation intention they have reached with each other.

In the agreement of intent on the cooperation between the two trading companies, Rilke's Bushcam Trading Company will be fully merged into Guo Shouyun's Guo's Trading Company in the form of a discounted share. Due to the disparity in capital and scale, Bushcam Trading Co., after discounting the price, can convert about 12% of the shares in Guo's Trading Company. As a concession, Guo Shouyun allowed Rilke to make additional capital and transfer his name The company's shareholding increased to 15 percent. To be honest, 15% of the shares are really not decisive for a non-listed financing company like Guo's Trading Company, because the Guo brothers always have the absolute right to speak in the company. According to common sense, the joint venture between Bushcam and the Guo family is actually more like an annexation. Not much For this, Rilke doesn't care, because he knows that although what he has lost now is a company he can be the master of his own, what he has gained is an infinite future.

Rilke has always been quite confident in himself. He feels that as long as the country he is in does not have so many ethnic discriminatory policies, and if it is not strictly guarded against the Jewish nation in all aspects, then he will definitely be able to achieve business success. great success. Now, Guo Shouyun appeared in front of him, this young Chinese can bring almost everything that Rilke needs, the acquiescence of the security committee, the support of the local government, the connivance of the army, the unimpeded customs border card, The priority and convenience of transportation, all of which are things that Rilke never dared to imagine in the past. What is especially rare is that this Chinese is very sincere and generous. In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, he not only promised to hand over all the trading power of the company to the Middle East and Eastern Europe to him in the future, but also promised to try to clear it. Allowing him Rilke to transfer his personal assets overseas.

After nearly three hours of candid conversation, Rilke only felt that he was more excited than ever. "Thank God for sending this Chinese." This is the only sentence he wants to say now, and he is full of expectations for his future.

In the same way, during the three-hour conversation, Guo Shouyun also realized the huge potential business opportunities in cooperation with this Jew. Obviously, Rilke, this humble little old man, is very energetic. He has a certain network of connections in Israel in the Middle East, Poland in Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic, and Romania. As a Jew, he can easily pass through Jews. Mutual aid societies get commercial help, making it easy to crack a country's trade market.

Since its establishment, Guo's Trading Company has been mainly engaged in Sino-Soviet trade. Although the profits contained in it are very rich, it is impossible for Guo Shouyun to be satisfied. In his opinion, if his company wants to grow bigger and have a more long-term development space, it must take a longer-term and broader perspective. Therefore, from this perspective, it is necessary to open up more foreign trade. Channels have become an imperative step.

But having said that, it is by no means easy to open up more trade channels, not to mention the current blockade of the Soviet Union by Western countries and the tension between the Soviet Union and various Eastern European countries after the great changes in Eastern Europe. It basically blocked all the business routes of the company. If Guo Shouyun wants to open up more business routes to the world, he must wait for an opportunity to appear. Now, with the appearance of Rilke, this opportunity has been clearly placed in front of him.

Of course, compared with the commercial routes that can be opened up, Guo Shouyun values ​​Rilke's mind more. In his own words, that is, "This old Jewish man is really not simple, and his vision is very vicious."

During the nearly three-hour conversation, Rilke frankly put forward three suggestions to Guo Shouyun, and these three suggestions also allowed Guo Shouyun to thoroughly understand the shrewdness of this old Jewish man.

According to Rilke's suggestion, the exhibition of Guo's Trading Company has entered a stage of a virtuous circle. Except for the company's efforts to open up new trade routes, other places can basically be freed up. . So what are you freeing up for? According to Rilke, Guo Shouyun, who has freed up most of his energy, should focus his attention on finance and the Soviet government.

In Rilke's view, with the division of Georgia and other republics, the complex contradictions that have been hidden in the Soviet Union for decades will suddenly burst out in a short period of time, and the huge energy generated by this spray effect, It will be enough to destroy the entire Soviet superstructure that was already crumbling.

The collapse of a country's power structure is no joke. It will bring a series of chain reactions, such as economic downturn, currency devaluation, and reshuffle of the power hierarchy. These situations will appear one by one.

In such a changing environment of the times, Rilke believes that Guo Shouyun, as a businessman who started his business by relying on official power, must be comprehensive, that is, on the one hand, he must seize the existing bureaucratic stratum, because these people are very It is possible that at the moment when the power is reshuffled, it will become a brand-new powerful person in the Soviet Union. On the other hand, Guo Shouyun should also attach great importance to emerging "radical" figures who are still in a relatively weak position. Although these people are now in the minority and occupy a weak position in the circle of power struggle, they are not without a chance of success, and most importantly, the "radicals" are now facing suppression from all quarters in the Soviet Union. They have many difficulties themselves. If Guo Shouyun can establish contact with them at this time, then a penny today may be exchanged for a hundred times or even a thousand times the profit tomorrow.

In the second suggestion, Rilke argued that the company should now establish close ties with those foreign banks that were the first to enter the Soviet Union, and use the ruble currency they have acquired as soon as possible to hoard dollar currency. Because in Rilke's view, the current domestic unrest in the Soviet Union is approaching, and a large-scale devaluation of the ruble may be imminent, so if the company continues to keep the ruble currency, it will take huge risks.

Also in response to the upcoming devaluation of the ruble, Rilke suggested that Guo Shouyun, who had freed up his hands from pure trade, might as well use the government resources at his disposal to establish a venture capital fund in several major cities in the Far East that can absorb social idle funds. will, even under the aegis of local governments, directly set up private banks. In the current Soviet Union, venture capital foundations are very rare, and bank deposit rates are pitifully low. According to Rilke's expectation, if Guo Shouyun can set up venture capital foundations or banks, and in the initial stage With a higher rate of return open to investors and savers, it is not difficult to absorb a huge amount of ruble currency in the short term.

When this step is done in place, the company can sell the huge amount of rubles invested by investors and depositors, and buy the dollar currency that continues to be strong, so as to wait for the depreciation of the ruble.

Rilke believes that on a large scale, the initial devaluation of the ruble will never attract people's attention, and only when there is real chaos in the country and the value of the ruble currency plummets to a certain extent, people will panic and throw away their holdings. Some deposits in rubles are converted into dollars. Whether it is a venture capital fund or a private high-interest bank, it is impossible to bear the risk of devaluation of depositors' deposits. Therefore, between this entry and exit, with the devaluation of the ruble, the company will exchange money from currency. The difference between before and after, to obtain amazing profits.

Obviously, these three suggestions by Rilke are all planned by Guo Shouyun all the time, but does this mean that Guo Shouyun himself is more knowledgeable than Rilke? Of course not, Guo Shouyun had to admit that if he didn't have that experience in his previous life, his brain would never be better than Rilke's.

Compared with the trade channels controlled by this old Jewish man, what Guo Shouyun values ​​more is definitely Rilke's mind. Now the business of Guo's Trading Company is growing step by step, and the most lacking thing in the company is undoubtedly the like. A genius like Erke. Guo Shouyun even felt that with the addition of this old man, his company was destined to open a new chapter on the road to the exhibition.

When this fruitful conversation ended, it was past 6:30 in the afternoon, and Rilke declined to send him off in person. Guo Shouyun finally stepped out of the Bushcam trade under the guidance of Ferna. company door.

"Mr. Guo," when Guo Shouyun just got into the car door, Philna rushed forward, grabbed the car window, and asked hesitantly, "I have a question for you."

"What's the problem? Miss Philna, please tell me." Guo Shouyun said through the car window, taking out a box of bubble gum sitting under the cockroach and putting it in Victor's arms.

"I want to know, are the promises you made with my father this afternoon, are they all sincere?" Firna said a little nervously, "You should see that my father is really excited today. , I've never watched him talk to others, be able to be so happy, the whole person seems to be twenty years younger. So, so..."

"Miss Philna, I can't answer the question you asked," Guo Shouyun shrugged, motioning the driver to drive, "Because there is no trust between us, no matter what kind of answer I give you, you I'm afraid everyone will be skeptical. So, I suggest you ask your father about this question. I believe the answer he can give you is also the answer I can give you. "

The car started slowly, heading towards the west side of Lenin Street.

"Then can you tell me why you gave us such favorable conditions for cooperation? Is this a charity from you, or something else." Filna grabbed the window and asked while running.

"Hehe, Miss Ferna, you are really persistent," Guo Shouyun said to Ferna through the car window, leaning over his body, "As for your second question, I can only send you one sentence, yes We have a long-standing adage in China: 'The sea contains all rivers, and tolerance is great'."
