It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when the passenger plane landed at the Moscow International Plant. Chen Tai, director of the Warwick Group's office in Russia, had already led the employees of the office to line up at the exit. The employees inside were Chinese and Russian. They were wearing Warwick Group's uniforms and stood neatly, striking among the crowd picking up the plane.

On the way back to the office, Zhao Dongsheng found that the streets of Moscow were depressed and dull, and all the pedestrians passing by were in a hurry. There were long queues outside the shop to buy daily necessities, which had long lost the glory of the Soviet era.

Zhao Dongsheng knew very well that after Russia's independence, not only did the economy deteriorate sharply, the ruble depreciated rapidly, and the inflation was severe, but it also showed a chaotic political situation. Various political parties and social organizations sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, demanding their respective interests.

What is particularly important is that since the Russian President implemented a radical reform policy in early 1992, political forces led by the president and political forces led by the speaker and vice president have had serious differences on a series of major issues such as reform policies, domestic economic situation assessment, content of the new constitution, Russian political system and foreign policy. Both sides attacked each other and acted independently, leading to a situation where the two regimes coexisted.

When the convoy of the office reached an intersection, he encountered some Russians who missed the Soviet era and marched on the streets and demanded the restoration of the Soviet era. This surprised Wu Wen and others. Chen Tai told them that demonstrations were now common in Russia and the government had no ability to manage them at all.

The Warwick Group's office in Russia is not far from the Kremlin. It is located in the prosperous area of ​​Russia. It is a tree-lined courtyard with rockery and flowing water. The environment is very elegant. It is said that it was the residence of a duke during the Tsarist Russian period.

Originally, this courtyard was rented by Chen Tai, but at the beginning of this year, as the Russian government began to implement a privatization policy, Warwick Group took advantage of the deterioration of Russia's economy and bought it for two million US dollars, which was very cost-effective.

After arriving at the office, Zhao Dongsheng saw a long queue in front of the building facing the street of the office, with hundreds of people in front of him, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Chen Tai then explained to him that the office was preparing to recruit more than a dozen staff members. Because of its generous treatment and its salary settlement in US dollars, it attracted so many people to apply for the job.

The reason for settlement of wages in US dollars is that the ruble depreciated sharply after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It has depreciated by six or seven hundred times so far, and is in a stage of rapid depreciation. The assets of the rich Russians who stored their money in banks have greatly reduced, and people have gone to banks to exchange US dollars to maintain their value.

The bad economic situation has forced banks to close their exchange of US dollars, because every dollar they exchange will shrink the bank's assets by one dollar, and banks are unwilling to bear the loss.

However, this is definitely good news for those who used to borrow in banks, because it means they can repay their debts owed to the bank by just one-six or seven hundred dollars of the previous loan amount.

Zhao Dongsheng knew this and looked at the Russians lined up and shook their heads secretly. I'm afraid the Russians would never have imagined that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they did not bring them the prosperous life they wanted, but instead allowed them to experience the most painful and lost decade.

In the evening, Chen Tai held a welcome party at the office, greeting Zhao Dongsheng and his group. Wu Wen and others had the first time having an authentic Russian meal.

After the reception, Zhao Dongsheng led Wu Wen and Zhou Jun to Chen Tai's office. The head and deputy directors of Warwick Group were dispatched together during this trip to Russia, which shows his importance to this matter.

"Mr. Zhao, Vice President Zhou, Assistant Wu, last year, our office borrowed a total of US$3 billion rubles from the bank in the name of the group investment company to purchase oil fields and mines. This is the details of those oil fields and mines. Please check it out." In the office, Chen Tai took out a document from the safe and handed it over to Zhao Dongsheng.

Last year, Zhao Dongsheng not only let Shi Tianxia borrow a large amount of loans to purchase Russian natural resources in Russia, but also allowed Chen Tai and Qin Yuning to do the same. He would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gather wealth.

Chen Tai achieved it in the name of Warwick Group's overseas investment company. Qin Yuning's approach is the same as Shi Tianxia. She registered a shell company, but she did not come forward and asked a professional team to complete the investment plan.

Shi Tianxia borrowed $2 billion in rubles from the bank, Qin Yuning also borrowed $2 billion in rubles. With Chen Tai's 3 billion in dollars, Zhao Dongsheng successfully gathered $7 billion in wealth from Russia this time, laying a solid financial foundation for his future expansion plan.

The reason why Chen Tai was able to borrow 3 billion US dollars of rubles was not because his operation techniques were better than Shi Tianxia and Qin Yuning, but because he relied on Warwick Group, which was a government-backed industrial company and had clear ability to repay loans, so those in the bank were more at ease to lend him the money.

"With this thing, I'll explain it to the city after I go back." Zhao Dongsheng looked through the document and handed it to Zhou Jun with a smile. This loan plan was carried out privately by Zhao Dongsheng without telling the city government. The city does not know it yet. According to common sense, such a large investment should be reported to the city. His behavior is suspected of "violating the rules".

Zhao Dongsheng knew very well that if he reported to the municipal government in advance, no one would be optimistic about his seemingly crazy plan, nor would anyone dare to agree, because investing in resources such as oil fields and mines in Russia poses great risks and will not be able to recover funds in the short term, which will bring heavy repayment pressure to Warwick Group.

After all, Warwick Group is not a shell company. Once it cannot repay the bank's loan, the bank will negotiate with the Huangzhou Municipal Government, which will become a serious diplomatic incident and this is a responsibility that no one can bear.

Moreover, Zhao Dongsheng could not tell those city leaders that the Soviet Union would collapse, which would lead to a significant depreciation of the ruble. In that case, it would not only be regarded as a lunatic, but people from the national security department would also come to him to "talk about it".

Therefore, Zhao Dongsheng had to take action first and then report to let Chen Tai do this secretly. The Warwick Group knew about this matter, including Niu Baoguo and Zhou Jun, and this was Zhao Dongsheng's protection for them.

Because according to common sense, Zhao Dongsheng's investment is completely risky, and the failure is very large. Once it fails, the unknowing Niu Baoguo and Zhou Jun will not bear any responsibility, and all the responsibility will be borne by him, the mastermind.

As the saying goes, success is the king and defeat the enemy. When Zhao Dongsheng is very clear, when Chen Tai's investment brings huge benefits, no one will hold him accountable for his illegal operations, but instead regards him as visionary. At that time, flowers and applause will be greeted.

"Three...3 billion US dollars in loan!" The content on the document was written in Chinese. When Zhou Jun saw the amount above clearly, he looked at Zhao Dongsheng with shock. No matter what, he never expected that Zhao Dongsheng would make such a large investment quietly.

"I don't know if this investment will be successful, so I didn't tell you." Zhao Dongsheng explained to Zhou Jun with a smile.

"Luckily you didn't tell me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night." Zhou Jun heard this, his head shaking like a rattle. If he knew about it, he would definitely be under tremendous psychological pressure. This is not 300,000, but 3 billion dollars, which is more than 10 billion dollars into Chinese coins, which is simply an astronomical number.

Later, Zhao Dongsheng's gamble-like investment became a classic case of world venture capital and was studied and analyzed by countless venture capital groups. Everyone admired Zhao Dongsheng's vision and courage. He could predict the substantial depreciation of the ruble in advance, and then make a "desperate" investment and fight against the enemy.

At noon the next day, Zhao Dongsheng invited Modolsky to have lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Moscow. The third factory of the former Soviet Union was located in the suburbs of Moscow and is now called the Third Machinery Factory of Russia.

After Russia's independence, there were four major industrial zones in the territory, namely the Moscow Industrial Zone, the St. Petersburg Industrial Zone, the Ural Industrial Zone and the Novosibirsk Industrial Zone. Among them, the Moscow Industrial Zone and the St. Petersburg Industrial Zone are comprehensive industrial zones mainly composed of steel, machinery and textiles.

The Ural Industrial Zone is a heavy industrial zone dominated by steel and machinery, and the Novosibirsk Industrial Zone. It is a new industrial zone dominated by heavy industry and military industry. The electronics and aerospace industries in these two industrial zones are relatively developed.

Zhao Dongsheng's goal for this trip to Moscow is to Russia's four major industrial zones. Now that Russia's economic situation is deteriorating, prices are soaring, and living supplies are scarce. Many countries are trying to take the initiative to take the lead and bring important scientific research talents into their arms.

Modolsky is an authoritative figure in the international precision electronic instrument industry and a famous Russian scientific research expert. He has a very high prestige in the Russian industry. If he can be won over, Zhao Dongsheng's "poaching" plan will undoubtedly be half successful.

In a private room in a Chinese restaurant, Zhao Dongsheng saw Modolsky. Modolsky looked a little haggard and his eyes were covered with bloodshot, as if he was seven or eight years old, and he seemed to be worried.

Zhao Dongsheng smiled and stood up to greet Modolsky. He knew very well the dilemma Modolsky was facing:
