For these experts and professors from the former Soviet Union, their miserable days had actually begun on the day the Russian Screw was announced.
In 1990, the ruble plummeted and the government had no money to support them, leaving them unable to even solve the problem of food and clothing.
There are quite a few experts and scholars begging on the streets.
Countries around the world have begun to divide up these talents.
Wan Feng Scholar is one of them.
"So what kind of talent do you want?"
"There are no restrictions this time. We want all kinds of talent, as long as they are experts or professors."
"You want both? Yes," Shaminov asked in confusion.
"Yes! Especially in the industrial sector, whether it's making tractors or fighter jets, as long as they're of a high enough level, we'll take them all."
In fact, Nanwan Group does not have many of these talents to use.
Apart from mechanical skills, he doesn't really need much talent.
In terms of electronics, Huaguang’s current strength is probably equivalent to that of Russian screws. There is basically nothing that Wanfeng needs in this field.
Nanwan Group now has mechanical and electronic talents, and it cannot use other talents.
But just because he can't use it doesn't mean others can't use it. China now needs a large number of talents in all fields.
"But I'm afraid I can't do it in the military."
"Why not? They need to eat and survive, and if they don't come to China, they'll go to Western countries. Remember, the West was the culprit for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Do you want these experts to help strengthen the technological capabilities of the country that you tricked into collapse?"
Shaminov shook his head.
No one is willing to help the enemy grow stronger.
"At the very least, our two countries have highly consistent ideologies and social systems. Even though the Soviet Union has collapsed, China is still holding high the banner of socialism. So, do you want these experts to go to the Western camp or come to China?"
"In that case, it would be better to go to your country, China."
"That's right. I will provide them and their families with a satisfactory material life. When the time comes, please focus on the similarities between our two countries' systems. I believe that people who believe in communism will come to China. I will send you an assistant. Li Mingze will stay with you, and I will send more people if necessary."
Wan Feng called Li Mingze in and explained to him the matter of recruiting experts from the former Soviet Union.
The conditions offered by Wan Feng were not purely monetary, but included a series of conditions such as salary, housing, welfare, children's education and employment, etc.
The conditions offered by Wan Feng were not low. Coupled with the important magic weapon of social system ideology, he believed that a large number of former Soviet experts would come to China.
Of course, Wan Feng secretly reminded Li Mingze that these experts should mainly be from the military. As long as they are from the military, no matter what they do, they should be brought to China first.
Even if he makes rifles, there will be a place where he can be useful.
"You mentioned something about stocks before, but I never understood what it was about." After explaining the introductory question, Shaminov remembered another thing.
"Isn't the Russian Screw Bank going to issue a certificate soon? I don't believe you haven't heard about it."
In 1992, the reform team of Russian screw completely listened to the nonsense of Western economic experts and decided to use shock therapy, starting with privatization.
It was decided to divide the country's assets in the form of 148 million checks and vouchers.
The vouchers are beautifully printed and look very much like currency, with the Russian White House printed on them. Each voucher has a face value of 10,000 rubles, and Russian citizens can obtain them at local banks for only 25 rubles.
Warrants can be redeemed for individual shares of the company, deposited with a mutual fund or sold directly.
The original intention of the Russian government was good. It hoped that the privatization of securities would form a large class of private owners as the basis of market relations.
But what they did not expect was that the privatization of securities would become a means for the bureaucratic bourgeoisie to turn state-owned assets into private property by purchasing these securities in large quantities from residents at low prices.
It is still difficult for the masses who have just escaped from communist society to understand the role of such bills.
These securities are far less tangible than physical goods or cash.
Since these securities are bearer and can be freely traded, more than half of the privatized securities are concentrated in the hands of hundreds of investment foundations through legal and illegal transactions.
In order to get rich quickly, these foundations engaged in illegal activities by reselling privatized securities that they had collected without spending a penny.
A very small number of people, either through tips from others or on their own, saw business opportunities. They used their connections to borrow funds from national banks or certain overseas organizations, tried their best to purchase warrants, and then used them to gain control of some excellent companies.
Once control is gained, it will be a huge profit whether continuing to operate or selling it.
These are the securities that Wan Feng wanted Shaminov to collect and purchase.
These securities will inevitably be concentrated in the hands of a few people, forming a financial oligarchic group unique to Russia.
This process started in October 1992 and ended in 1994. In just two years, a large number of oligarchs, large and small, were born in Russia.
Wan Feng did not intend to let Shaminov become an oligarch, as the fate of oligarchs was generally not good after Putin came to power.
His goal is to make money, and he has no intention of controlling the Russian regime.
His plan was that as long as it was implemented smoothly, he would sell the collected securities by the 1994s. He didn't dare to say how much more, but it would be no problem to make a profit of 18 billion euros.
By then, the two of them will add up to five and each of them will have assets worth tens of billions of dollars.
In 1994, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan was 1 to 8.4. With this exchange, he could make a profit of about 40 billion yuan.
As for the payment, it is estimated to be less than one tenth.
"Yes, these vouchers will be issued in two months."
A voucher cost twenty-five rubles. According to the ruble exchange rate at the time, twenty-five rubles was only equal to ten cents, which was one-tenth of a US dollar or fifty-three cents of Chinese currency.
Money was of no use to the Russian screwmen at that time, and using materials as an exchange was a shortcut.
These operations are no strangers to both Shaminov and Li Mingze.
Wan Feng proposed to exchange items for securities.
"Li Mingze, do you understand? You will stay in Bu City to assist Shaminov with these two tasks. Someone will provide you with funds."
Li Mingze nodded.
"As for visa renewal, someone will handle it for you. Don't worry about it. After two years, when you're done, you'll receive a large sum of money, enough for you to spend the rest of your life."
After the matter was settled, it was dark and time for dinner.
It was already around eight o'clock after dinner.
Wan Feng returned to his room and discussed the wedding date with Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan.
