Lin Yi smiled playfully. Alright, it was not based on economic benefits, but on the level of position. This was very socialistic.
However, it didn't matter how high the cost was. It was just like how he was now a dealer. What restricted his speed of earning money was that he didn't have so many goods, not the cost of the goods.
Even if it was 2,000 rubles per car, once it was sold, it could earn at least 2,000 rubles. It was a huge profit.
"If you calculate it this way, it would take seven million rubles to take all of these, right?”Lin Yi said with a headache.
He had a blissful worry now. There were too many goods, but he couldn't eat them all. He had less than four million yuan in his hands now, and it was Chinese dollars.
The two million rubles earned from the previous train were all transferred to the country as payment for the remaining ten trains.
He needed to wait for the ten trains to arrive in Moscow in five days before he would have money again.
In other words, the current Lin Yi was actually a donkey's dung egg on the surface.
Kadanikov smiled and waved his finger." Lin, you only need to pay half of the money for these goods and you can take them all.”
Lin Yi's eyes lit up." When will you pay the rest?"
"Half a year later, a year later, or even two years later! You can pay whenever you want." Kadanikov said with a smile.
"That's great!" Lin Yi was smiling from ear to ear.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered something. The ruble was about to experience a large-scale depreciating. In November 1991, the exchange rate of the ruble against the US dollar fell from 0.6 rubles to 1 US dollar to 1.8 rubles to 1 US dollar.
Then, under the effect of Nicholas 'shock therapy and the malicious manipulation of European and American countries, the exchange rate of the ruble fell at an avalanche speed.
At the end of that year, the exchange rate of the ruble to the US dollar became 170:1.
Three years later, it dropped to 3000 rubles. One dollar.
This downward trend did not change until the year before Lin Yi's rebirth.
Some people had calculated that the ruble had depreciated by 50,000 times in 20 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
" How is it too good?" asked Kadanikov.
"I think the ruble will depreciate on a large scale in the future. The ratio of this depreciating rate will not be less than one to ten. In other words, something that is worth 1,000 rubles now will cost 10,000 rubles in the future.”Lin Yi said.
Kadanikov was a little stunned, but Berezovsky nodded.
Berezovsky said sadly,""This is also my speculation."
As a mathematician who had been paying attention to the economic field for a long time, Berezovsky had long discovered that the value of the ruble was seriously inflated and did not match the actual purchasing power.
This kind of situation actually appeared in every planned economic system, and it was the same in China.
Before the reform and opening up, the exchange rate of the Chinese yuan to the US dollar was stable at around 1.5 Chinese yuan to 1 US dollar. However, after the reform and opening up, the exchange rate kept falling. It was not until 1993 that the exchange rate directly depreciated from 5.7 to 8.6 that the decline in the exchange rate slowed down.
The exchange rate of around 8:1 had been maintained for nearly 15 years. It was not until 2008, when the economic crisis, that it rose.
In other words, from the reform and opening up to 2008, the Chinese people had paid a huge price in exchange rates to promote economic development.
It was just better than the Russians whose exchange rate had fallen by 50,000 times.
" What do you mean?" Kadanikov was confused.
He was one of the few economic management talents in the Soviet Union, but when it came to exchange rates, his brain was not enough.
"In other words, if we owe the Volga car factory one million rubles now, then when the exchange rate depreciates, we only need to pay back 100,000 rubles.”Lin Yi explained.
In fact, it was even crueler. If he could really delay the payment for two years, Lin Yi estimated that it would depreciate by at least 2,000 times.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi was stunned. This meant that he only needed to pay half of the money for this batch of cars and the whole box of spare parts.
Because the remaining half of the money, if calculated according to the Lin Yi Ruble's 2,000 times depreciating value, was almost free.
If 3.5 million rubles were to be depreciated by 2,000 times, it would be equivalent to 1,700 rubles now, which was exactly the accommodation fee for Lin Yi's entire team at the Moscow hotel tonight.
The huge Soviet Union was quickly hollowed out by Nicholas 'stupidity and the manipulation of European and American countries.
After several years of rapid currency depreciations, all the savings of the Russians evaporated. In 1993, Russia implemented the voucher system and determined the total value of the Russian industry to be a mere 12 billion US dollars. This included all the factories, oil, natural gas, transportation, and most manufacturing industries in Russia.
The Russian gas company, which owned all the natural gas in Russia, was valued at a ridiculous 80 million US dollars. Even so, the Russian gas company was already the company with the highest valuation in this party.
The rest were miserable.
For example, the Volga car factory under Lin Yi's feet, which had nearly 100,000 employees and produced 740,000 cars a year, was only valued at 7 million US dollars.
The so-called freedom and dictatorship were just a few people's revelry. They used the name of freedom to avoid the law, deceive the country, swindle the people, and escape the punishment of the law.
Berezovsky explained to Kadanikov in detail what the ruble was depreciating and what kind of benefits the depreciated ruble would bring them.
After hearing this, Kadanikov stood up and paced back and forth in the spacious study.
After a long time, Kadanikov gritted his teeth." One-third. Lin, you can only pay one-third of the deposit to the factory and then drive away the 5,000 cars and 200 boxes of spare parts!”
Now, he had completely come to his senses. Under such circumstances, other than the deposit, they did not have to pay the rest of the money.
The lower the deposit, the better. If they only paid one-third, it meant that they could earn another 1.2 million rubles for nothing. This was simply robbing money.
"Yes, alright." Lin Yi naturally agreed.
Why not take the money that was given for free?
" Kadanikov, how many cars and spare parts can you provide every month?" This was actually the question that Lin Yi was concerned about.
"There's only so much each month.”Kadanikov said helplessly.
"Lin, you should know that although I am the director of the Volga car factory, Volga is not something that I can control alone. The Volga car factory can produce about 60,000 cars per month, and 30,000 of them must be distributed according to the original method. Otherwise, we won't get any steel, rubber, or even a piece of cloth.”Kadanikov explained.
Lin Yi expressed his understanding. This was how a planned economy was. While obtaining the benefits within the system, one must also abide by the rules within the system.
The Volga car factory had no money to supply these downstream factories. Why could they still obtain a continuous supply of resources? Wasn't it because the Volga car factory could hand over a certain number of cars to the higher-ups every month?
After the higher-ups got the cars, they would distribute them to the steel and rubber factories to complete an economic cycle.
"The remaining 30,000 vehicles have been redistributed in the factory.”Kadanikov said slowly.
Lin Yi nodded regretfully.
This was not only a problem he was facing now, but also a problem faced by the entire Soviet Union. The speed of production of goods was far from enough to meet the needs of the people.
However, he still had a way.
He just said that he was not in a hurry. If he wanted to sell these 5,000 cars, he would need to form a huge team. He would have to take it slow. He would not be able to get rich in one go.
"I plan to name the company as the Russian Car Alliance. What do you think?”Lin Yi said with a wicked tone.
In his previous life, the real owners of the Russian Car Alliance were actually these two people in front of him.
"Very good. Our goal is to let all of Russia drive our cars.”Kadanikov said with a smile.
Berezovsky naturally had no objections, but he felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"I actually want Berezovsky to do the specific management of the auto alliance.”Lin Yi suddenly said.
Berezovsky looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. He really didn't expect Lin Yi to hand this matter over to him.
"Boss, you can't do this. I've never done such a thing. I've never even sold anything.”Berezovsky quickly refused.
Lin Yi smiled." Berezovsky, do you like cars?"
Berezovsky hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily.
He raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. He muttered,"I've liked cars since I was young. In fact, I've always thought that it's okay if I don't have a house to live in. It's okay if I don't have clothes to wear.”
"That's why you beg others to share your car with you. Even if it's a second-hand car, you don't eat or drink, and you don't even have the money to buy shampoo, but you can drive your car for 3,000 kilometers every week. Berezovsky, I think if there's anyone in this world who can develop this infant car alliance, it must be you!”Lin Yi said with a smile.
When he first met Berezovsky, Lin Yi found it strange. No matter what, Berezovsky had a fixed income every month. How could he be so poor?
Later, when he found out that Berezovsky had to drive 3,000 kilometers every week and spend most of his money on gas, Lin Yi only wanted to say that Berezovsky didn't starve to death, which really meant that the Soviet oil price was too cheap.
Not to mention now, even in the future, the wages of most Chinese people would not even be enough to pay for the fuel for a car that traveled 12,000 kilometers a month.
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Berezovsky's tears instantly flowed down. Lin Yi's every word hit his heart. He was simply his bosom friend. In the whole world, only Lin Yi understood him the most.
" Berezovsky, don't decline. I also think you're the best candidate. Do you know how I noticed you? You're the only young man I've ever seen who can squat on a car production line for a day. I can see the love for cars in your eyes.”Kadanikov said.
