After returning to Heihe, Wan Feng remembered that he should take advantage of this free time to deal with those trucks.
Wan Feng found that his memory seemed to be getting worse. Why was that?
The last time Zhang Xian and Zhao Gang delivered the chemical laboratory equipment back, they drove away two ten-ton trucks.
There are still ten trucks here, six of which are huge heavy-duty trucks.
The largest is a MASS 547 six-axle truck.
In fact, the Soviet Union at that time also had larger MAZ 7904 and 7907.
However, these two things were too big, and Wan Feng knew that he couldn't get them back, and even if he did, it wouldn't be of much use.
These cars can only be transported to Hongya by train.
The prerequisite is to get them all to Wuxian Railway Station.
It is absolutely impossible for these cars to drive from Heihe to Jiangwei, but it is not a big problem to drive to Wuxian Railway Station.
The road from Heihe to Wuxian almost does not pass through any villages or towns after leaving Heihe, so these cars can still drive to Wuxian.
Heihe Transport Company had a good relationship with the base, so several drivers drove the trucks slowly to Wuxian Railway Station and shipped them away on flatbed carriages.
The scenes of the Heilongjiang River opening and closing once a year are both thrilling.
Every time the river is opened or closed, if Wan Feng has time, he will go to the bank of Longjiang River to watch the spectacular scene of the birds colliding with each other side by side.
It’s just that he didn’t see the scene of the river closure this year, and he probably won’t be able to see it many times in the future.
After the Heilongjiang River was closed, trade between the two sides resumed.
It seemed that with only a month's trading left, both Wan Feng and Shamilov had lost their enthusiasm and were no longer as enthusiastic about the transaction.
Shamilov would come to China every two or three days to talk to Wan Feng.
"Shamilov! Do you remember everything I told you?"
"What's up?"
"I've already told you to drink less. I really don't understand you Soviet people. Alcohol is like a god. If you don't drink it for a day, you'll die!"
"Isn't it cold here? Let's drink some wine when we're cold..."
"That's bullshit! It's warm in the summer, and I haven't noticed you drinking less! You're all drunk as idiots! I told you to change all your money, did you?"
"I remember this, but I don't understand why it needs to be changed?"
Last time, Wan Feng just told Shamilov to exchange all the rubles he had into US dollars and euros... Oh no, that's not right, the euro has not been born yet, so it can't be exchanged.
If you can't exchange for US dollars, buy gold or other value-preserving items. If that doesn't work, exchanging for Chinese currency is better than keeping rubles.
But no reason was given.
Now that the port is closed and I am leaving, there is no harm in talking about it.
"I think you're aware that your country has a problem, and it's not easily solvable. To be frank, it's impossible to solve. I suspect the Soviet Union is very likely to disintegrate in the next few years. Otherwise, why do you think such a good port would be closed? China and the Soviet Union have been hostile for so many years, so why would your Soviet president rush to visit China?"
"You said that our Soviet Union will split and disintegrate?" Shamilov was a little unconvinced.
It was certain that the Soviet Union would have problems, but he had never thought about its disintegration or division.
"Your Soviet Union was actually cobbled together from over twenty republics, or rather, they were coerced by force when the Soviet Union was strong. Now that the Soviet Union is weak, won't these republics demand independence? My guess is that it will most likely split into more than a dozen countries. My predictions have always been very accurate, and they're rarely wrong."
"Is it really like this?" What Wan Feng said made sense. The Soviet Union was indeed composed of many different republics.
"The probability is over 90 percent. Think about it now. If the Soviet Union disintegrates and splits, your Far East will most likely become a Russian cog if you don't become independent. The first thing that happened after the Soviet Union split was finance. Do you think your ruble will appreciate or depreciate?"
Shamilov thought for a long time: "Should it be devalued?"
"It's not just something that should happen, it will definitely depreciate, and it will be a significant depreciation, hundreds or even thousands of times. By then, all those rubles you have will be worthless. So listen to me, find a way to exchange your rubles immediately after the ports close. Of course, do it secretly between you and your relatives, and don't let the authorities catch you causing panic and then pull up your pants."
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's inflation rate reached 2,000% due to the implementation of shock therapy. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the US dollar plummeted from 0.6 rubles to one US dollar before the collapse to more than 3,000 rubles to one US dollar.
Shamilov is now worth probably hundreds of millions of rubles, which means he is worth hundreds of millions of euros. However, if he does not try to preserve the value of his assets, his current assets will only be worth tens of thousands of euros by 1994.
This was an extremely painful process. Wan Feng didn't want to see the family fortune that Shamilov had worked so hard to accumulate over the past two years being wiped out overnight.
"If that's the case, I'll go back and find a way to exchange it right away."
"Don't be too anxious. Before 1991, you just need to exchange your money. Even if there is a loss, it will be limited."
The first devaluation of the ruble took place in November 1990.
The ruble, which had not depreciated for more than 30 years, depreciated for the first time. The exchange rate with the US dollar changed from one US dollar to 0.6 rubles to one US dollar to 1.8 rubles.
If Shamilov had not taken action during this devaluation, his wealth would have shrunk by two-thirds.
"I remember that."
"Another thing is about stocks. In the future, you Russian screws will issue stocks. Remember, if there are any stocks that are worth the least... don't worry. When you issue stocks, the ports between the two sides will be open. I will come again and tell you how to operate then."
The issuance of Russian screw stocks happened after the shock therapy. At that time, the border crossings had been reopened, and he could have come to Russian screw.
"You said you would come again in the future?"
"Of course, I plan to hold my wedding in your Russian screw in the future. You must be a good host for me when the time comes. Don't go in or you will get killed."
Shamilov was puzzled. "You're holding your wedding here? Why? Are you marrying a Soviet girl?"
Wan Feng shook his head: "You Soviet girls are all drunkards. I don't want any of them. I want to marry a girl from China."
"I don't understand! I really don't understand what's going on in your head, but if you really want to hold your wedding here, I promise to contact the best church for you."
"Get lost! I'm not religious, so why do I need a church? I just need a hotel and a wedding according to Chinese customs."
I don't believe in any religion, so of course the wedding cannot be held in a church. That would be so embarrassing.
