My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 246 Countdown Begins

Yanjing.

The changes in the Soviet Union shocked the world, including countries that bordered the Soviet Union.

How could there be no movement here?

Amid this changing situation, various kinds of information were constantly being reported and transmitted.

The names of Qin Yuan and the Far East Group also kept appearing in the conversation.

The reason is that the Far East Group has been too active in the past year, with hundreds of truckloads of supplies being transported from China to the Soviet Union via international special trains such as the K3 and K20.

It not only consumed a large amount of domestic excess capacity.

They also established a private trade route between China and the Soviet Union.

Not to mention the amount of tax revenue generated, the number of jobs provided is countless.

Not to mention, in the past six months, the Far East Group has also continued to use this route to transport some key products and core technologies from the Soviet Union to China.

The development of things like rocket engines and heavy tank blueprints has greatly advanced the domestic research and development process.

This is still within the military aerospace field; in the civilian sector...

Chery Automobile, founded by Qin Yuan, developed rapidly after receiving European technology and some assistance from the Soviet Union.

In less than six months, the newly established auto parts factories have raised the domestic self-sufficiency rate of auto parts to a new level.

From less than 20%, it has now reached more than 50%.

Currently, these few parts manufacturers alone provide a large amount of parts support to state-owned giants such as FAW, SAIC, and Dongfeng.

If Chery Automobile hadn't yet obtained its automobile production license, it might already be on the road for trial operation.

When the relevant departments reviewed Qin Yuan and Yuan Dong's files and saw these documents, they were extremely shocked.

How can a company like this be restricted in its development because of its car manufacturing license?

How is this possible?

Reform and opening up means taking the lead and daring to be the first.

Given that Qin Yuan and Anhui Guotou established Chery Automobile, with its capabilities, funding, vision, and deep connections in Europe and the Soviet Union, how could anyone possibly stand in its way?

Therefore, the corresponding vehicle license plates were issued to Chery on August 21st.

Yin Tongyao, who was in charge of Chery's specific matters, was both surprised and delighted to receive the license.

From then on, the obstacle blocking Chery's path completely disappeared.

From now on, there's no need to hide it anymore; production and research can only be conducted under the name of Chery Automobile Parts.

This event was reported by many media outlets, while the changes in the Soviet Union were only reported briefly in a few newspapers.

Few people would connect these two things.

In fact, many people are unaware of what happened in the Soviet Union in August.

But for players like He Changqing, Zhou Tianhao, Feng Zhaokun, Shen Manqing, and Li Chuze...

What happened in the Soviet Union was no secret at all.

It was a truly shocking and momentous news story.

Through official channels, their own various news channels in the Soviet Union, and by visiting the scene in person, they learned the detailed process of the incident from players scattered throughout the Soviet Union.

[Northeast Tiger Brother: My God, tanks leading the way, martial law in place, and now I see Gorbachev returning to Moscow in his special car. Could this be another fierce battle?]

[Haidian Xiaodao: It's unbelievable that a superpower in this game would cause such chaos. No wonder I said business has been getting better and better lately.] [Grey Scavenger: I'm currently in the Caucasus region. The troops here haven't withdrawn yet, and the entire city is under martial law. The chaos in Moscow has affected this area.]

[Black Frozen Pear: I'm in Khabarovsk. It's the same here. Hundreds of thousands of Far Eastern troops are stationed here. I heard there's trouble in their military district. Some people support the emergency committee, and some don't. They're all at odds.]

[Commander on Duty: My God, it's the same here. I'm in Volga City, and the troops here belong to the Volga-Ural Theater. But after the incident in Moscow, there's been a lot of activity here. I'm afraid a war will break out. I heard that a motorcycle brigade was supposed to head to Moscow, but someone called them back.]

[Yangcheng Dachao: Has the Soviet Union really collapsed to this extent?]

[Azure Jade Kirin: As far as I know, the Soviet Union had a total of six theater commands, comprising 14 military districts, with a total force of approximately 400 million. Because of Moscow's actions this time, unrest has been rampant in the various theater commands, and their repeated statements indicate that these military leaders have no intention of returning to the Soviet era.]

"Azure Jade Qilin" is Shen Manqing's account ID. Her Qilin Society currently has people all over the Soviet Union, and she has been intensively studying intelligence about the Soviet Union since last year.

She had witnessed the rapid expansion of the Far East Group.

However, even so, she knew that she could never become the second Qin Yuan.

The Kirin Chamber of Commerce could not replace the core position of Far East trade in the Soviet Union.

Not to mention Qin Yuan's Far East International Bank, how could he possibly get involved without the means, connections, and audacity to do so?

And all of this, now that I think about it...

A terrible thought came to Shen Manqing's mind.

Did Qin Yuan foresee this situation from the very beginning?

Is the Soviet Union, the superpower in the game world of "Business Tycoon," the Easter egg given to these players?

Not only did she have this guess in her mind, but the other players also had similar guesses to varying degrees.

[Capital Hunter: Breaking news, everyone! Jingye's Far East International Bank has just announced that rubles can now be exchanged for dollars at any branch, anytime. With such a huge upheaval in the Soviet Union, the ruble is bound to depreciate. Brothers with plenty of rubles, hurry to Jingye's bank and exchange them for dollars! They hold their value in this game.]

[One Man's Way: Are you telling the truth? How much ruble reserves does Lord Jing's bank actually have? Doesn't he know the ruble has been falling?]

[Capital Hunter: Of course, Jingye knows the ruble is falling, but in the Soviet Union, the best way to preserve the value of assets wasn't any currency in the world, but rather tangible, appreciating fixed assets. I don't know if you were in the Soviet Union, or if you were aware of the speed at which Jingye's influence expanded.]

[Capital Hunter: Okay, I'll list a few names, you can look them up yourself. Volga Tractor Plant, Novosibirsk Chemical Plant, Don Savings Bank, Red October Food Factory, Doll Chocolate Factory, and now the largest beer group in the Soviet Union—Baltic Beer. Look up the ownership changes of these factories; the rubles absorbed by the Far Eastern Group were heavily invested in these Soviet enterprises. Each transaction involved massive amounts of rubles being exchanged. Compared to the continuous appreciation of these assets in the hands of the Far Eastern Group, and the monopoly over the beer industry and various light industrial food products, what does the devaluation of the ruble matter?]

This capital hunter had never appeared in the chat group before.

One player checked his wealth ranking and found him to be 263rd, which wasn't particularly impressive, but he was definitely not someone to be underestimated.

The fact that one can see Qin Yuan's wealth conversion model in the Soviet Union so clearly demonstrates remarkable insight.

Those watching the chat group saw from these words the dramatic changes taking place in the Soviet Union.

And amidst this dramatic change, Qin Yuan's assets continued to expand.

The Northeast Tiger licked his lips, his heart pounding like a drum, and typed a line of text on the virtual screen in front of him.

[Northeast Tiger Brother: If that's the case, then Master Jing is really going to finish the game by the end of December? That means there are less than four months left until Master Jing finishes the game?]

After he said that, the entire room fell silent.

Feng Zhaokun, who was in Shanghai, turned off the light screen.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Four months? What else could happen in these four months that would allow Qin Yuan's assets to expand further?

Until the system can recognize the massive amount of wealth and achievement points required to pass the level?

His gaze turned north.

Could an even greater upheaval be about to occur in that country amidst the chaos?
