Before you know it, months have passed.
After receiving $30 billion of Li Zetian's funds, Wells Fargo started a frantic acquisition model. The news that a certain bank was acquired by Wells Fargo was reported every three or five weeks, which shocked the United States.
On Wall Street, many people can't help but talk about it.
William Morgan, CEO of JPMorgan Chase Bank, sighed in private: "Wells Fargo's acquisition is simply astounding! The acquisition of so many banks in such a short period of time is too rich! It seems that it will not take long for Wells Fargo to acquire Going to be one of the top ten banks in America!"
The Rockefeller family also paid close attention to this matter. Since ancient times, banks have always been the core chain of the industry, and many companies have been developed or controlled around banks.
In a luxury sea view villa, Thomas Rockefeller and his family members had a dinner. When talking about Li Zetian, Thomas Rockefeller couldn't help but sigh: "I remember when I first met Chronos Li, he was still a A penniless little man has grown into the richest man in the world, and is even richer than the Rockefeller family!!! Now, my status is far inferior to his..."
After saying this, he raised a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
The acquisition of Wells Fargo is too crazy, attracts attention, and makes people envious, jealous, and hateful, so Li Zetian has been very low-key during this time, and try not to stimulate those who hate the rich.
It is also worth mentioning that during this period, the Gulf War started, and the United States displayed many high-tech weapons, and quickly won the victory with lightning speed. At first, military analysts in many countries believed that the Gulf War would last at least more than a year. However, it was over in just over 40 days, which shocked the whole world. The United States has once again demonstrated its might to the world and declared its hegemony.
Compared with the strength of the United States, the Soviet Union was much less fortunate.
Not long after the end of the Gulf War, "Georgia" of the Soviet bloc declared independence.
The year before, Lithuania declared independence, and now Georgia has declared independence, casting a dark cloud over the entire Soviet Union and undercurrents!
Naturally, the U.S. authorities liked it, and even made small moves behind the scenes to encourage more countries to leave the Soviet Union. Of course, this possibility is extremely high. If Li Zetian were the President of the United States, he would definitely do it.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu were more confident in Li Zetian's guess that the Soviet Union would disintegrate.
In the hall, Li Zetian smiled and ate grapes, showing indifference to their worship. Relying on memories from past lives, no big deal.
Dongfang Yuqin said: "I am afraid that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is irreversible. According to the news from our people, Georgia's declaration of independence is like igniting a thread. Now there are more regimes ready to break away from the Soviet Union. Mr. Li, before you The speculation is completely accurate, fortunately we have already sent people to the Soviet Union last year, once the Soviet Union disintegrates, our harvest will be unimaginable, far more than in the Japanese real estate and stock market!"
Li Zetian nodded and smiled and said, "Of course, the huge Soviet Union is torn apart. How can a Japanese real estate bubble be compared to a stock market bubble? What we earn is a country's wealth!!!"
Yu Jingqiu said: "The current situation in the Soviet Union is turbulent. Now, I am afraid that more people see the opportunity."
"Well, yes, the United States is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Europe is probably contributing to the flames behind the scenes. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity!" Li Zetian said.
Of course, the territory of the Soviet Union is really too large, and the two countries cannot completely shake the foundation when they declare independence. Many people still cannot believe that the Soviet Union, which can rival the United States, will collapse in just one year! ! I'm afraid even the US government can't believe it!
The reason why Li Zetian is so certain is that he relies on the memory of his past life. And Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu are also so determined because they believe in Li Zetian. If someone else told them that the Soviet Union would disintegrate within a year, they must think that others were joking.
"The Soviet Union has infinite beauty, and now it's over..." Li Zetian sighed inwardly.
Li Zetian traveled in 1973. He truly felt the strength of the Soviet Union. Although it cannot compare with the United States economically, it is no worse than the United States in terms of high technology, such as aerospace and military industry.
August 20 is coming, the situation is changing!
After Georgia, Estonia declared independence.
Two days later, Latvia West declared independence.
Two days later, Ukraine declared independence.
A day later, Belarus declared independence.
…
…
On December 16, 1991, almost all the republics declared their independence, including Russia, the Soviet Union completely existed in name only, shocking the world!
On December 25, Gorbachev announced his resignation and the Soviet Union officially disintegrated!
During these four months, almost all the major news around the world revolved around the Soviet Union.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union has affected the whole world, including politics, economy, military, etc. Now there is no country that can compete with the United States!
The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the devaluation of the ruble made Li Zetian the second biggest winner after the US government. He borrowed huge amounts of rubles from various financial institutions in the Soviet Union through various means. Some of this money is used to buy local mining companies and then merge businesses. The Soviet government encourages bank loans, and it also provides special support for loans required for corporate mergers. For example, if a company needs 2 billion rubles to merge, it is no problem for the Soviet bank to lend you 1 billion rubles.
In addition, Li Zetian also bought a large number of banks in the Soviet Union, absorbed Soviet depositors, got a lot of rubles, and then lent these rubles to himself. This method is crazier and more profitable than borrowing from other banks. The acquisition of a bank may only cost a few hundred million rubles, while the bank's reserves may be tens of billions of rubles or more. This money is the money of the Soviet people, but when the Soviet Union disintegrates, the value of this money will depreciate anyway, so it is better to make Li Zetian cheaper. As for eventually causing these banks to go bankrupt, let them go bankrupt. Li Zetian made dozens of times more money than buying banks.
In addition, Li Zetian also frantically shorted the ruble, and also used leverage ranging from 10 times to 20 times.
In the whole process, Li Zetian himself invested less than 5 billion US dollars. The benefits are unimaginable! How much will be in the end, there is no way to calculate it now!
This time, Li Zetian was also ruthless to engage in the Soviet Union, thinking that if he didn't do it himself, others were doing it too. The people Li Zetian sent found that European and American capitalists were also doing similar things to him in the Soviet Union, but they were not as crazy or as determined as he was. But they can't stand the large number of them. If Li Zetian is compared to a flat boat, they are an aircraft carrier.
