Brazil, Manaus.

Aboriginal brothers farm, tobacco growing area.

Planting tobacco leaves causes considerable damage to the soil. The tobacco leaf planting area is arranged on the outermost edge of the farm, close to the Amazon jungle, and only 800,000 acres are planted.

Due to the different maturation times of the upper, middle and lower areas of the tobacco leaves, the tobacco leaves used to make flue-cured tobacco are not suitable for mechanized mining. They can only be harvested manually one by one. The bottom ones are harvested first, and the top ones will take longer to grow.

Immaturity will affect the color quality after baking.

Chu Dexian is a farmer in Shaozhou who has been growing tobacco leaves for many years and is very proficient in tobacco leaf curing. He is 45 years old this year, which is in his prime for farmers.

Last year, he was invited by the Aboriginal Brothers Farm to serve as the deputy director and chief technical engineer of the tobacco planting area. His basic salary for one month was equivalent to 5,000 kilograms of pork, not counting the year-end bonus and a series of subsidies.

Standing next to the endless tobacco field, Chu Dexian took out a cut newspaper from his pocket, and then took out a tobacco tube, poured some tobacco leaves on the newspaper, rolled the newspaper into a trumpet shape, held it in his mouth, and pulled it from his waist.

He took out a bamboo fire folder, opened the lid, blew in twice, lit the newspaper, and took a deep breath.

Immediately, he blew out a mouthful of white and black smoke, took the cigarette out of his mouth, pressed his nose with the thumb of his left hand and blew his nose. After blowing, he wiped his fingers on the clothes on his chest and rubbed his feet on the ground.

He rubbed it, sniffed, and put the cigarette in his mouth.

He took two steps forward, picked off a piece of tobacco leaf, held it in his hand and examined it for a while. Chu Dexian sighed: "The land is good, the sun is good, this tobacco leaf will not be bad."

Holding the tobacco leaves in his hand, Chu Dexian walked to his office.

There is a microphone in Chu Dexian's office, which is directly connected to the radio station. After entering the office, Chu Dexian picked up the microphone, gave it two blasts to test it, and then shouted: "It's time to pick it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people from the three dormitories in the planting area, Wuyang Wuyang, came out of their dormitories and ran towards the tobacco fields.

The sources of workers in the tobacco planting areas are relatively diverse. There are tobacco farmers recruited from China, as well as trainees from Southeast Asia, and most importantly, people from South America. They come from all countries.

Chu Dexian shouted in Chinese, and not many people could understand it, but it didn't matter, the workers knew it well. As long as the announcement sounded in the morning with unintelligible words, it meant they had to work, and if it sounded again in the evening, it was time to call it a day.

You don’t have to shout when you have lunch. The cafeteria will drive a car to deliver lunch to the field. In the tobacco fields, there are straw huts where you can take a nap at noon. There are public toilets and showers next to the houses. If it’s too hot, you can take a shower.

cold.

Over the tobacco fields, a helicopter was flying at low speed. In the cabin, Chen Jingyang, the vice president of Yunxiao Tobacco Group, stuck his head out to inspect the tobacco leaves below.

Yunxiao Tobacco Group is a joint venture between the tertiary industry company of the indigenous brothers' farm and an unregistered investment company owned by Nan Ruopeng, and has not even thought of a name. It is regarded as the fifth-level subsidiary of Shennong Nanliang.

Chen Jingyang and Hu Jianren were former deputy production directors of a small cigarette factory in Huaguo. They were proficient in all aspects of cigarette production and were recruited to serve as the group's vice president, responsible for the group's technical management.

The helicopter patrolled the tobacco fields and then flew to the farm's dock.

At the pier, a small cargo ship docked there, and farm workers were happily carrying various frozen seafood from the ship to the pier.

Every month, the supply ship of the South American branch of Jiangshang Fishery delivers seafood to the farm of the indigenous brothers, and also takes away some fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm.

Some fishing boats go out to sea for half a year or even a year. In order to allow the crew to eat fresh vegetables and meat, Jiangshang Fishery has established its own logistics supply fleet, which is scattered in various places.

Exchange of things for things.

This model is very popular with various farms and ranches. It is a very enjoyable thing to eat enough vegetables grown by yourself, beef, sheep and pork raised by yourself, and seafood and meat from time to time.

Türkiye, Eastern Manisa Province.

Huang Hexiang, the president of Yunxiao Tobacco Group, is inspecting the quality of tobacco leaves in the tobacco leaf fields. Although Turkish tobacco leaves also adopt a monopoly system, tobacco farmers cannot sell tobacco leaves directly to buyers. They are all purchased by the Tobacco and Liquor Bureau, but you can’t go to the fields for a walk.

, it is impossible to evaluate products and quality in advance.

After meeting with Nanyi, Kameto Masami sent Yin Lianna to Noginsk, Luhansk, and Novosibirsk from far to near. Her purpose of this trip was to find a location for the Yunxiao Tobacco Group to build a cigarette factory.

The Soviet revisionists implemented monopoly management of tobacco, but now, the tobacco monopoly system is in danger of being abolished, and the tobacco market is becoming fully open to the outside world.

When Nan Yi heard the term "shock therapy" when he was a graduate student, he has been paying attention to its proposer, the American economist Jeffrey Sachs.

The stabilization plan implemented by Jeffrey Sachs when he served as an advisor to the President of Bolivia helped Bolivia's inflation rate drop from 40,000% per year to 10% per year. Later, he successively provided financial reforms for governments such as Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela.

suggestion.

Until the past two years, Sachs served as an economic reform consultant for the Polish Solidarity movement and was invited to prepare a radical economic transformation plan; assist the Slovenian government in introducing a new national currency, assist the Mongolian government in macroeconomic reforms and privatization, etc.

Whether it is "shock therapy" or "privatization", they are both very beautiful terms for Nanyi.

After leaving Modan Barracks, Nan Yi came to Gorky Park. After walking around, he found a chair and sat down. He held the past issues of Pravda that he had collected in the past few days and started reading.

As early as the late 1980s, radical reform ideas emerged in Soviet revisionist theoretical circles.

All this stems from the economic difficulties of the Soviet revisionists. God has not given the Soviet revisionists a chance. As early as the 1970s and 1980s, the Soviet revisionists' foreign exchange income increased significantly due to the sharp rise in oil prices. At that time, they had to seriously restructure their light and heavy industries.

Opportunities of a dysfunctional and deformed economic structure.

It is a pity that the Soviet revisionist upper echelons did not seize this opportunity. They used precious foreign exchange in the arms race and purchased a large number of consumer goods from abroad to improve the living standards of the people.

As a result, when the oil price plummeted in the late 1980s, some problems that had been covered up by the increase in oil prices were gradually exposed. The Soviet revisionists were not only in economic trouble, but also faced a political crisis. Under such circumstances, radicalization emerged in the country.

It is not surprising that he has reform ideas.

In May last year, the young economist Yavlinsky proposed the "400-day plan." At the end of August, jointly commissioned by Lao Ge and Boris (Ye), Academician Shatalin of the Presidential Council took the lead in formulating the "500-day plan."

However, due to conflicts between parties, these plans were not implemented.

There is an economist in Moscow named Yegor Gaidar. He is only 35 years old, and his life is like cheating.

Graduated from Moscow State University in 1980;

From 1980 to 1986, he served as an assistant researcher at the Department of Economics of Moscow State University, a researcher and chief researcher at the All-Soviet Scientific Research Institute of the State Council for Science and Technology;

1983-1985, member of the expert group of the National Economic Reform Commission;

From 1986 to 1987, he was the chief researcher and senior researcher of the Institute of Economic and Scientific and Technological Development Forecasting of the Academy of Sciences during the Lao Ge reform period;

From 1987 to 1990, he served as editor of "CP" magazine and "Pravda", important theoretical publications of the Soviet Communist Party, and director of the Economic Department;

It was during this period that Gaidar paid keen attention to the economic reforms being carried out in Poland, and published many articles in newspapers that praised and advocated shock therapy. Gaidar can be said to be a believer in shock therapy.

After leaving Pravda, Gaidar served as director of the Institute of Economic Policy of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Academy of National Economic Sciences.

Nan Yi is familiar with the name Yegor Gaidar. He saw reports about Boris in his previous life and could see this name from time to time. He will be an important member of Boris's government in Russia in the near future.

Economists, senior government officials, and advocates of shock therapy. Needless to say, Gaidar will definitely be the main promoter and executor of the shock therapy that Russia is about to implement.

Nan Yi has read the theory of shock therapy completely. He personally believes that shock therapy is definitely a good scripture. As long as you follow it seriously, you are unlikely to go too crooked. If someone walks lamely,

Well, the blame has to go to the sutra reciter.

Nan Yi estimates that the reason why Russia will adopt the shock therapy proposed by Jeffrey Sachs is because Jeffrey Sachs does have two brushes.

When Jeffrey Sachs served as an economic consultant in Bolivia and other Latin American countries in 1985, he proposed a radical anti-crisis program in response to the hyperinflation in these countries and achieved positive results. The inflation rate dropped from 24,000% in 1985.

dropped to 21.5% in 1986.

In addition, Sacks also used shock therapy when he served as an economic consultant in Eastern European countries such as Poland, and achieved good results in these countries, especially Poland. Not only because of historical factors, the Soviet revisionists paid more attention to this country, but also, Poland

The situation in China is very close to that in Russia, and there are many common pain points. It should not be bad if Poland’s effective measures are transplanted to Russia.

The second reason should be political. Regarding this, Nan Yi has not yet fully understood. He needs to have a good understanding of the current situation and factions in the Kremlin.

Nan Yi vaguely remembered that Russia's shock therapy included large-scale privatization. As for the privatization model, it seemed to be "securitization." As for what kind of securitization, he couldn't remember. When he read about this

At the time of writing, he had no idea about securities, and he couldn’t have a deep impression on something that he didn’t understand at all.

"When I get old, I have to leave a message to my grandson. I don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or time travel. Learn more, remember more, and be a prepared person."

It took Nan Yi two hours to flip through the newspaper. During the rest of the day, he first went to the Central Racecourse to have lunch, and then wandered around in the bustling areas of Moscow.

In the evening, Nan Yi was having dinner, and Alexei came back to resume his duties.

"Boss, after I visited Modan Barracks in the morning, I felt that it was very suitable for transformation into a leather city. After that, through the contact of the 7th company commander Vatugin, I met with the 358th regiment commander Mihayiner. He

He is very interested in my proposal, but said that he would like to ask the commander of the 3rd Guards Division, Maslenki, for instructions."

"Have you seen Maslenki?" Nan Yi cut a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth and asked.

"Not yet, we just talked on the phone." Alexey glanced at Nan Yi hesitantly and said, "Maslenki wants the people behind me to talk to him."

Nan Yi put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, put the napkin on the table, then picked up the red wine glass and shook it, staring at the red wine in the glass, thinking in his mind.

After thinking for a while, Nan Yi put down his glass and said, "Before Maslenki said this to you, did you pause, such as talking to someone?"

Alexei recalled the whole process of his phone call with Maslensky in the afternoon, and then said: "There was a pause in the middle, about fifteen seconds."

Nan Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. Get some rest early. Get up early tomorrow and go out for a walk with me."

"OK."

After Alexey left, Jinjianbao came to Nan Yi, "Boss, I found someone following the car in the afternoon. The method was very professional. I suspected that they were from the KGB, so I didn't get rid of them. They should have followed them."

here."

"It's interesting that the KGB came to the door so quickly."

"It's not surprising, the KGB has a military administration." Jinbibao said.

…

Less than ten kilometers away from the Model Worker Apartment, the Chief of Staff of the 3rd Guards Division, Alton Young, got off the car and walked into a villa, which was the residence of Yepisov, the director of the Military Administration.

The Military Administration Bureau, also known as the Third Administration Bureau, has twelve departments that monitor the entire Soviet military, including monitoring the activities of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Red Army Intelligence Bureau.

KGB personnel are involved in the army, navy, air force, border guards (directly under the KGB), and even the military and internal affairs forces of the Ministry of Interior, all have KGB personnel in key positions. There are even KGB personnel in the missile force, nuclear weapons force, and Moscow Military District.

KGB officers are present on every front of the Soviet army. Although they wear military uniforms, they report directly to the KGB headquarters. Officers can be exempted if necessary. They have their own spy system in the army to monitor the dynamics of every unit and every person.
