HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 568 Impact
Simply put, the other party opposes what you agree with, and agrees with what you oppose.

In this kind of environment, no matter how capable or talented you are, you have to lie down and be like everyone else.

Mutual restraint and checks and balances, one move affects the whole body.

If Kravchuk really intended to do something, it would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there would be many obstacles.

"I'm different from you. I've worked my way up from the bottom to where I am today. The thing I've learned the most is that you have to rely on yourself for everything."

"What alliance, what committee? If the situation really reaches the worst moment, they can't even protect themselves, how can they care about others?"

"Don't forget, you were born in Ermao, grew up in Ermao, became stronger in Ermao, and in the end you have to give back to Ermao."

Lin Zehao's words made Kravchuk fall into deep thought.

No matter what, Ermao is indeed his birthplace. Even if the situation becomes desperate, he will not give up this place.

Perhaps Lin Zehao is right.

"Since two years ago, some Westerners have been contacting me through various means and trying to corrupt me."

"Although it seems that I am being hypocritical with those people, I still don't trust them in my heart."

"Help me purchase 80 million tons of grain internationally. I will find a way to raise the relevant expenses for you..."

Kravchuk spoke sincerely and seemed very earnest.

In recent years, the economic situation of the Polar Bear Alliance has been deteriorating and it is difficult to describe.

The government has been running a deficit every year, and some places have even collected relevant tax revenues by 2025!
People’s pockets are also empty. The soft and sweet bread that they used to eat until they vomited every day can now be eaten less than once a month!
They could only eat deadly black bread and black bread to barely fill their stomachs.

As for the privileged class, although they have made a fortune a long time ago, they are still very principled when it comes to official affairs and are determined not to use money from their own pockets to resolve official matters.

After all, the authorities have always emphasized the need to distinguish between public and private affairs.

"Don't joke with me. According to the current trend, even if I give you three years, you won't be able to raise the purchase cost of 80 million tons of grain."

"I own thousands of banks in the Polar Bear Alliance, and I know the current economic situation very well."

"Ordinary people do not have money, but there are many privileged people who deposit money in my bank. I don't need to say more about this..."

Lin Zehao has many businesses in Polar Bear, but they are basically financial businesses and do not involve the real economy.

It’s not that he doesn’t like investing in physical entities, but now is a special time. Once the pointer reaches a specific time node, the world will be shocked, order will be lost, and the physical business will most likely become someone else’s wedding dress.

However, it is different for virtual businesses such as finance. You can pack up and take them away after you have collected them. It is like waving your sleeves and leaving nothing behind.

So far, Lin Zehao has more than a thousand banks and financial institutions in the Polar Bear Alliance, both openly and covertly.

All the deposited rubles were basically exchanged into US dollars under his instruction, leaving only a small portion for daily operations.

You know, now the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar is one to one, and before that the ruble was even more valuable than the US dollar.

It was by attracting deposits with high interest rates that Lin Zehao was able to spend money lavishly in various acquisitions. He first invested in Xiaoshi and then bought the ownership of ten important cities in the island country. He then took over the rights of the New Territories and settled with the royal family of the sun never setting, etc.

To achieve these things, having money may not necessarily be enough, but without money it is absolutely impossible.

And after the Polar Bear Alliance announced its dissolution, the US dollar was still the US dollar, but the ruble was no longer the ruble.

It is no exaggeration to say that by that time, the ruble will be too hard even to wipe your butt!

Through such a simple in and out, Lin Zehao can make a fortune.

He is not the only one doing this. The promoters in the United States have already started doing this. Even speculators and politicians within the Polar Bear Alliance have invested in this industry after they realized what was happening.

If we count the big Russian oligarchs in later generations, basically they made their first fortune during this period, and thus became rich and embarked on the road to success.

As the saying goes, heroes are made by the times.

In some eras, as long as you were brave enough, you could pick up money with your eyes closed.

And in some eras, there is no way to get ahead even if you rack your brains.

Therefore, under this environment, even if Lin Zehao does not make this money, someone else will make this money.

In this case, there is no need to involve so-called benevolence, righteousness, and morality.

The Polar Bear Alliance is in such a state of despair that even gods cannot save it.

"No way, dear Davari, we are friends, comrades as close as family, and brothers who fight side by side!"

"We have such a close relationship, aren't you willing to help me even if it's just a small favor..."

Kravchuk immediately started playing the emotional card, and his acting was absolutely superb.

These lines that sound a bit corny became true feelings in his mouth and fit the atmosphere very well.

There is a saying in America: first-rate actors go to wrestling, second-rate actors are in the White House, and third-rate actors are in Hollywood.

Now it seems that it does make sense.

Given Kravchuk's acting skills, as long as he was willing to work in the entertainment industry, he would definitely win the Oscar for Best Actor in minutes.

The prerequisite is that those Americans are willing to give the award to a pure-blooded Russian.

"Don't try to be so rude. You know the current international situation. Western capitalist countries, led by the United States, have joined forces to block the food supply of the Polar Bear Alliance."

"The grain that Moscow entrusted me to purchase some time ago was the result of my mobilization of many resources and connections."

"It's no exaggeration to say that even if you offer twice or three times the market price, no one will sell grain to you, let alone your empty promise of buying on credit!"

Lin Zehao spoke with a firm tone, looking helpless.

Ever since the Polar Bear Alliance showed signs of decline, Western capitalist countries led by the United States have introduced a series of policies aimed at squeezing out the Polar Bear Alliance in all aspects.

The economy is bad, so they make a fuss about this.

When there is a food crisis, they block the food sales channels and refuse to sell to the Polar Bear Alliance!

Under strong control, the already bad situation of the Polar Bear Alliance has been made worse and is getting worse.

Therefore, the top leaders in Moscow could only purchase grain for them internationally through brokers.

Over the years, Lin Zehao alone has helped the Polar Bear Alliance purchase food no less than ten times.

The quantity each time is no less than five thousand tons!

Although he helped so much, Lin Zehao did not ask for a penny, but instead proposed to replace it with fixed assets.

For example, warships and airplanes, tanks and cannons, and the world-famous Akka-47 are just the extras of this big business. By gaining various benefits from the Polar Bear Alliance, Lin Zehao successfully established several military bases in third world countries such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.

Relying on its powerful military force and its ability to turn the tide, it successfully controlled the local minerals and natural resources and made a fortune, which led to Hutchison's great influence in the local area.

In this way, Lin Zehao can use these resources to feed back to other companies and industries under his control, forming a virtuous circle.

"Well, if you don't agree to put it on hold, then we'll continue with the barter method."

"I can exchange what you need for these 80 million tons of food."

Seeing that it was useless to play the emotional card, Kravchuk had to face reality.

Anyway, he couldn't use money to buy food because from a certain perspective, the country's money should belong to them.

Barter is an option acceptable to both parties.

Since it’s not your own thing, you won’t feel bad about selling it.

"No problem. Let the people below discuss the details."

"As long as the chips are in place, 8,000 tons of food will be in place within three months at most."

This was not the first time that Lin Zehao had dealt with Kravchuk. According to incomplete statistics, the latter had sold at least 40 billion rubles of state-owned assets through him over the years.

This is 40 billion rubles!
Before this, Kravchuk's influence was limited to Ermao and had no impact on the entire Polar Bear Alliance.

If you think about it carefully, you will find it terrifying.

No matter how powerful the Polar Bear Alliance is, with the existence of these parasites, it will eventually collapse one day.

Those hidden dangers that have accumulated over time are about to erupt amid internal and external troubles.

"Of course, feel free to ask for whatever you like. It would be best if you could pick more planes and warships, because the maintenance cost of these things is really too high..."

"If you can buy it, it will be a favor to me."

Although it seemed to be a "fair" barter transaction, in order to successfully take these things out of the country, Lin Zehao needed to pay a hefty price to Kravchuk.

In short, agency fee.

The economy of the entire Polar Bear Alliance is not good, and the same is true for Ermao.

Although he was in a high position, Kravchuk already felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.

Governing a country is too difficult.

As soon as I open my eyes every day, I need to sign countless expenditure documents. Funds need to be approved here, disaster relief needs to be provided there, there are places that need to be repaired, and all kinds of research and development funds need to be approved.

All these messy things made Kravchuk physically and mentally exhausted, and he was not at all as carefree as before when he was focusing on making money.

To make money, you just need to make money. If anything happens, just throw your subordinates out to take the blame.

As the top leader, there are too many things to consider, and if anything goes wrong, he will be the first to be blamed.

In comparison, being the top leader is not as cool as being a senior executive.

Of course, it would be great if you could always be the boss.

It seems that Kravchuk must find a way to change the limited term of office into unlimited.

…………

Ever since Lin Zehao came to the Polar Bear Alliance with great fanfare and began to settle down in Kiev, there has been an endless stream of people visiting him every day.

The people who came were basically the political elites of the Polar Bear Alliance, and their purpose was very simple, which was to use the power in their hands to cash in.

After all, the current situation is too chaotic, so it is better to cash out as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, if you don't use your power, it will expire.

In this regard, Lin Zehao accepts no offer. As long as you have something to sell, he will choose to buy it!

Anyway, he has thousands of banks in the Polar Bear Alliance, so why is he worried about not having rubles to pay?
The Polar Bear Alliance also needs not only money, but also various daily necessities.

Under the Hutchison Group, there are more than a hundred train lines entering and leaving the polar bear territory every day!

With constant transportation in and out, wealth is growing at a geometric rate without you noticing!

Just when everything was going according to plan, a group of people came all the way from the mainland to visit.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing square-framed glasses and dressed like a scholar. His deputy was a bald man who moved in a military manner and walked with a slight limp.

The rest are basically security personnel. They look ordinary but act competently, and it is obvious that they have received relevant professional training.

Kyiv, north.

A luxurious manor that is rarely visited and heavily guarded is located here.

The entire manor villa is trimmed with marble, the special greenhouse is filled with exotic flowers, the garden is lush and verdant, with a sky bridge and koi, and even the servants' quarters are comparable to a British mansion in size.

There are several Greek-style statues standing on the lawn of the manor, including goddesses with long hair covering their bodies and lovers with limbs intertwined.

Intricately carved ornate pools, couples' seats and colonnaded meeting places are scattered around like stars, and the newly planted trees inside are said to live for three hundred years.

The luxurious polar bear-style bathroom and the elegant sailboat all reveal the word luxury.

There is even a professional zoo on the manor.

Ostriches from Australia, Africa and South America are basking in the sun, lively hares are running around at your feet, elegant peacocks are strolling lazily, and deer and goats are kept in cages with labels outside the cages clearly indicating the species of the animals.

As the visiting team from the mainland strolled through the manor, the manor's steward gave appropriate explanations to everyone.

We must ensure that everyone can understand what you are saying, but also ensure that you don't say anything too sensitive.

After all, due to the rapid development in recent years and some historical factors, the relationship between the two sides can be said to be somewhat complicated, as those who understand will understand.

"Damn! Isn't this too luxurious? Even the palace where Puyi lived was only about this size, right?"

"Aren't the people and workers in charge here? Why does this capitalist thing exist?"

"It turns out that what is written in books is all false. What is before our eyes is the reality, the naked reality that has never changed!"

"Oh my god, can those animals eat meat without limit? It's really a luxury..."
