Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

When Gurbrev said that Wang Ye could "predict the future", Wang Ye was shocked, thinking that the secret of his "rebirth" had been discovered.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Wang Ye’s dual identity is already his biggest secret.

 But no one actually knows that Wang Ye’s real secret is not his identity, but that he is a reborn person...

This is his biggest secret, and he has never revealed it to anyone!

Of course, even if he told it, no one would believe it. After all, this matter is too outrageous.

 For Gebrev, Wang Ye's vision is indeed too "forward", and every one of his predictions about future events is accurate.

 That's why I sighed just now.

 To be honest, Gebrev's feelings about Wangye are also changing.

From the initial appreciation and usefulness to the current admiration and even respect, I believe that Wang Ye’s ability is unparalleled in the entire Moscow political arena, and leaving the country to him to manage in the future is definitely the best choice!

But as he said, this is just his personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of the Kremlin.

 But this actually explains a lot of things.

 That is to say, many people in the Moscow political arena, whether they are in the same faction or not, more and more people have recognized Wang Ye, and no one can raise any doubts about Wang Ye's ability.

 …

Not long after the discussion between Wang Ye and Gurbrev, when some insiders were still doubtful about Wang Ye's "world economic crisis prediction", a crisis had already struck fiercely.

On June 11, HSBC Holdings announced its results and increased its provision for subprime housing credit in the United States by an additional US$7 billion, totaling US$10.573 billion, an increase of 33.6%. As soon as the news came out, the stock market fell sharply that day, including the Hang Seng Index. It fell 777 points, or 4%.

 On June 24, faced with a $17.4 billion debt squeeze from Wall Street and unable to repay, New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection and laid off 54% of its employees.

On July 1, Deutsche Bank announced a profit warning, and later further estimated that it would suffer a loss of 8.2 billion euros this year, because of its 12.7 billion euros "Rhineland Fund" and the bank's own participation in the U.S. real estate subprime The mortgage market business suffered huge losses.

The Bundesbank convened banks across the country to discuss a package to rescue Deutsche Bank.

 On July 5, American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation, the tenth largest mortgage lender in the United States, officially filed for bankruptcy protection with the court, becoming another large mortgage lender in the United States to file for bankruptcy after New Century Financial Corporation.

 On July 6, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced the collapse of two of its funds, also due to the subprime mortgage crisis.

 On July 7, BNP Paribas, France’s largest bank, announced the freezing of three of its funds, also because they suffered huge losses from investing in U.S. subprime mortgage bonds. The move sent European stock markets plunging.

 On the same day, U.S. stocks fell sharply, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 2%, the S&P falling 2.04%, and the Nasdaq Composite falling 2.15%.

European stocks were not spared either. They plummeted 3.4% at the opening of the day. No global stock market was spared...

 On July 8, both the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve announced that they would intervene to save the stock market.

  Within 48 hours from July 8 to July 19, central banks around the world injected more than US$400 billion to rescue the market!

The Federal Reserve injected more than 60 billion US dollars into banks three times in one day, but it had no effect. The stock market only stopped falling temporarily, and continued to plummet after not holding on for long.

 The U.S. stock index has fallen to its lowest point in recent years!

　　…………

This economic crisis came too suddenly, too quickly, and with too much explosive power. It has swept across the world in just a month or so, and almost no country has been unaffected.

 Developed countries such as Europe and the United States are busy trying to figure out how to deal with the crisis sweeping the world and save the plummeting property and stock markets. They can't care about other things for the time being.

 Only a few countries with relatively closed financial markets have suffered relatively little impact, such as Da Mao and several of its poor brothers, as well as a certain country in Asia...

In this chaos, no one probably noticed that Wang Ye’s Shark hedge fund was “killing everyone” in the American financial market!

 Because they lurked into the American financial market several months in advance, although the amount of funds was large, the specific operations were dispersed. They not only shorted subprime mortgage bonds, but also shorted stock indexes at the same time.

Given the astonishing size of the old and American financial markets, this $100 billion was like water flowing into the sea, causing no movement at all.

Now that the economic crisis is coming as expected, while others are crying and howling at the loss, the Sharks hedge funds are quietly making a fortune...

In mid-July, when the economic crisis officially broke out, the Sharks hedge fund’s profits had reached about 150%, which was US$150 billion!

 This is already considered as "exceeding" the task.

  After all, Wang Ye's original promise to all "shareholders" was to guarantee a minimum of 50% of the profits. He would personally take half of the profit exceeding 100%, and the rest would be distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution.

If you cash out now, the amount of money that Wang Ye can get is astonishing.

 He can take half of the 50 billion first, which is $25 billion.

Then the remaining total profit is 125 billion, and Wang Ye personally invested 20 billion, which is one-fifth, which means that another 25 billion US dollars can be divided.

 In addition to the principal of 20 billion US dollars, the total income is 50 billion US dollars!

 This is the benefit of his "forward vision"...

 In fact, by this time, individual investors in the hedge fund were already a little bit out of sorts. Abu, for example, tentatively called Wang Ye and asked him if he could stop because he had already made enough money!

Wang Ye’s answer is that now is just the beginning, and the good days are yet to come...

 Because Wang Ye knows very well that this crisis will last until the second half of next year and be divided into two "halves".

 In the first half, the property market and stock market plummeted, and you could make a lot of money by short selling.

 In the second half, bulk futures such as gold and crude oil surged. At that time, you can go long gold and crude oil and make another profit!

 Although the yield in the second half may not be as high as in the first half.

 But don’t forget, when the Sharks hedge fund reaches the second half, the funds in its hands must be very amazing!

Even if the yield is lower, the total income may not be less than the first half... Such a money-making opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Wang Ye want to miss it!

As long as this "business" is done well, Wang Ye may no longer have to worry about money in the future, because by then he will have more funds than he can spend all of them...

 …

In addition to remotely controlling the hedge fund to make money, Wang Ye’s business has not been delayed.

Within three months of 1967, he inspected the newly established wafer factory in Moscow Oblast and the expanded automobile industry base, as well as the large aircraft factory in Novosibirsk.

 In addition, he also took the time to visit Ukraine and presided over the restart and expansion ceremony of the Black Sea Shipyard!

The new wafer factory in Moscow State was led by the Romanov family. It purchased a batch of production equipment from Europe and Japan and hired a large number of engineers. Therefore, after the factory is completed and the production lines are debugged, production can start directly. .

There were two wafer process technology routes at that time. One was Intel's 45, 32, and 22 nanometers. At that time, Intel was already at its peak, with its own wafer factory and the most advanced process technology.

The other one is the immersion lithography machine cooperated by ASML and TSMC, which takes the 40, 28 and 20 nanometer routes.

Furthermore, the immersion lithography machine jointly developed by ASML and TSMC has just been launched, and its influence in the market is still very weak, which is quite difficult.

The wafer factory run by the Romanov family is called "Moscow Chip International", or "Moxin International" for short. At first, it wanted to introduce Intel's production line and follow Intel's process route.

 But Intel asked for too high a price and offered extremely harsh conditions. Constantine turned his head and cooperated with ASML in anger.

Originally, the wafer fabs back then could not be called the “jewel in the industrial crown.” International competition was also fierce, and many wafer fabs were operating at a loss.

The investment in this thing is too large, and the returns are relatively low. Many established wafer factories and chip factories are on the verge of bankruptcy, and there is not much capital willing to give up.

 So when Constantine gave Asmer a large order for photolithography machines, Asmer's people were very excited.

Not only did he not make any excessive demands, he also took the initiative to open a branch and R&D institute in Moscow in order to cooperate with Moxin International’s production line debugging and installation as well as subsequent maintenance.

Therefore, Moxin International started on the same starting line as TSMC. Because of its abundant funds and strong background, its market prospects are much better than those of TSMC.

After all, TSMC only had one state-of-the-art production line at that time, while Moxin International had three!

 There is no way, money is so willful.

 Because what Wang Ye requires is that Moxin International must become the world's most advanced wafer fab with the largest production scale within five years!

 In order to achieve this goal, he can invest regardless of the cost!

The Industrial Fund Office has also generously provided financial support. The advanced lithography machine purchased by Moxin International will be directly "reimbursed" for half of the cost, and the subsequent research and development of advanced processes will also be supported.

 With such a "rich man" like the Industrial Fund Office standing behind him, how can other wafer fabs compete with Moxin International?

 Having produced a large number of chips, we must seize the market.

As a result, the supply of chips on the market exceeds demand, which further leads to lower wafer processing prices and chip prices plummeting...

 In this process, the relatively weak wafer factories and chip factories will face the dilemma of bankruptcy.

 But there is no way, this is the cruel competition in the market.

 Moxin International has money and is in a period of market expansion. It can afford these losses, or this is its strategy to seize the market.

 Other wafer chip factories did not have the strength to play with it, so the global wafer processing industry directly began a major reshuffle.

  In another year or two, it is estimated that there will be only a handful of fabs left...

 But obviously, there must be Moxin International among them!

 …

 As for the new automobile industry base, this was also led by Wang Ye.

ˆOriginally, Russia Automotive Group’s own production base has been put into use long ago, and the vehicles produced are mainly supplied to Russia, the European market and the Asian market.

 Because of the advanced production lines and good quality of workers, the output has been continuously increased since it was put into production, and the technology is advanced and the quality is excellent.

The "Land Rover that couldn't be repaired" in Wang Ye's memory of his previous life had a big turnaround in this life and became a "Land Rover that didn't break down"!

 This is a high-end car, so no expense is spared in production costs. Coupled with strict quality requirements, the quality of the cars produced is of course very good.

 As well as Volvo and Jaguar, the main production is now located in the production base in Moscow.

These three major brands under the Russian Automobile Group have already made a name for themselves and are selling well in the European and Asian markets. Even the North American market has entered. Land Rover is also very popular among North American consumers.

Perhaps because they saw the maturity of the automobile industry chain in Moscow and the relatively low labor and raw material costs, several major European automobile brands, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Peugeot Citroën and other companies, jointly negotiated with Moscow. , they want to build a large automobile industry base here and move their production plants here.

Originally, because the economy in Damao was not very good in the past few years, labor costs were relatively low. In addition, there were all kinds of steel, aluminum chips, etc. It was a raw material production area, and the price was cheap and transportation was convenient.

Furthermore, Russia’s economy has grown rapidly in the past two years, its regional influence has also increased significantly, and it has also joined the WTO!

 In addition, the Russian Automobile Group has established a mature automobile industry chain, so those automobile companies believe that this has become the best place to set up a production base!

Several companies joined forces and negotiated with relevant departments in Moscow, and finally reached a consensus agreement under Wang Ye's instructions.

  German and French automobile companies have invested a total of 16 billion euros to build a very large automobile industry base in the suburbs of Moscow.

Once put into production, the initial production capacity will reach an annual production of one million cars, providing nearly 20,000 jobs, and an output value of over 30 billion US dollars!

 In fact, the completion of this automobile industry base represents extraordinary significance.

This shows that European and American capital has set its sights here and believes that the development prospects here are relatively bright, otherwise they will not support you with real money.

Of course, this is also the best reflection of Wang Ye’s hard work over the past few years.

 This cannot be achieved by issuing a certain preferential policy or granting some financial subsidies. What is needed is the improvement of comprehensive capabilities and the improvement of the entire country's industrial environment!

 From large-scale infrastructure development, to re-establishing one's own industrial system, to actively integrating into global trade, strengthening regional influence, increasing national economic income, etc...
