Chapter 1068: Reap the Fisherman's Benefits

The gushing Chubais didn't notice that when he heard that Soros had funded Yeltsin's $30 million, Fang Chen's brows suddenly tightened.

After three or four seconds, Chubais realized that Fang Chen's expression was a little wrong, and immediately asked with concern, "Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Chen rubbed his head, his skull hurt!

Ever since Soros told him that he was going to Russia, Fang Chen has always been prepared to compete with Soros again, and even made various response plans in his heart, but he never expected that Soros would find Chubais and say that he would support Yeltsin, which is really hell.

Doesn't Soros know about his close ties with the Yeltsin family?

Now that Soros and Yeltsin are standing together, that is to say, they are the same person, so Soros is still competing with him!

Fang Chen was as disgusting as eating a fly at this time.

The next moment, he shook his head silently in his heart, Soros must know.

Even in his heart, he could already conclude that the reason why Soros did this was because he was deliberately disgusting him.

But is that all?

For a while, Fang Chen's heart was a little uncertain.

Soros's hand really disrupted his deployment and planning.

At this time, not far from the Grand Hotel Moscow, the Moscow National Luxury Hotel.

Soros stood in the presidential suite on the seventeenth floor of the hotel, looking at the Grand Moscow Hotel not far away, the red wine glass in his hand swaying gently, and a faint confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oliver, Moscow is a city full of gold, challenge and fun, and I love it. Soros turned to his fund manager.

Oliver is at the helm of his most important fund, the Soros National Fund.

If anyone who knows anything about the Soros National Fund, they will know that where there are disputes, where there are wars, and where there are "non-dishes", there will be the presence of the Soros National Fund.

The main purpose of this fund is to fund students and provide opportunities to study abroad in order to change the stereotypes of backward countries, implement peaceful evolution, and open their markets to the United States.

The Soros National Fund has financed large numbers of black students in apartheid South Africa to attend the University of Cape Town, and during the Cold War, it has provided financial assistance to centrifugal elements in the Iron Curtain, and has a presence in many social development research organizations in Central and Eastern Europe.

However, in Soros's rhetoric, he has always done good things to promote democracy, foster free speech, improve education, and eradicate poverty on a global scale.

Oliver pursed his lips, but remained honest, "You're right, sir. ”

If Soros would like a country like Russia that preserves a lot of red genes and red elements, it is really the sun coming out in the west.

A few days ago, when Soros passed by the Ulyanov tomb in the center of Red Square, he saw the huge tomb and the Russian police officers standing guard outside the tomb, and said sarcastically: "The process of democratization in Russia is so slow that sometimes I even wonder if they have really abandoned the faith they held on to for more than 70 years and really thrown themselves into the arms of capitalism and the free market." These things in front of us will never exist in the United States. ”

It is not so much that Soros likes Russia, but that he likes the chaos of Russia and the existence of Mr. Fang, an enemy.

Seriously, it's been a long time since he's seen Soros eat deflated in front of anyone.

Last time, this Mr. Fang put Mr. Soros together, which is simply the biggest shame for Soros in recent years.

But it's absolutely true that Moscow is full of gold.

Take the Moscow National Luxury Hotel at their feet, a famous luxury hotel that has been established since 1903 during the Tsarist period, and is the earliest luxury hotel in Moscow, and it was finally bought for less than $800,000 for Soros.

If such hotels were in the United States, they would have to increase at least a hundredfold.

Of course, the main reason why Mr. Soros was able to win this Moscow national luxury hotel at such a low price is that in the previous paragraph, he got acquainted with Chubais, one of Russia's top bigwigs, the architect of Russia's economic system, the head of the president's office, and gave him a political contribution of 30 million US dollars.

Otherwise, how could those greedy Russian officials allow Soros to participate in the auction of this hotel.

And to his great surprise, the Russians who bid for Mr. Soros did not bid for the hotel for a maximum of $200,000.

Especially when he paid $800,000, looking at him was like looking at a fool.

It made him confused.

Later, he realized that he was really a big fool.

Because in Russia, this hotel is only worth 200,000 US dollars, and if it exceeds this price, these Russians would rather buy other assets, after all, Russia has a lot of cheap and good assets, so why should they spend unnecessary money on this hotel.

Most of those Russians are the elite class of Russia, the directors of the red factories, and they need to spend less than ordinary people to get Russian assets.

What he knew was a Russian who turned out to be the director of a shipyard with a fleet of 100 ships, each worth $20 million, but if the Russian wanted to get a 51 percent stake in the shipyard, he would only have to pay $2.5 million.

That's just one-tenth the price of a boat.

But even then, it was disliked by this Russian that the price was too expensive.

Seriously, he calculated that all the assets of Russia are at least hundreds, if not thousands, cheaper than those of the United States.

If it weren't for Mr. Soros, who only liked the financial market and subverted the regime all his life, and preached American-style democracy and freedom, he would really want to persuade Soros to buy a large amount of Russian assets.

In his eyes, although Soros is talented and rich, his life is extremely simple, even poor, and he has almost no decent assets other than money.

It seems that in this life, he lives to earn money and then do "charity".

How could he spend $800,000 this time, and the purchase of this hotel was already very surprising to him.

However, he guessed that this probably had something to do with the young Mr. Fang, who did not buy the most important and luxurious hotel in Russia, signed and approved by Stalin himself, and the location was also the best hotel, the Grand Moscow Hotel.

Thinking of this, Oliver couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he hadn't seen Soros have such an almost childlike comparison heart for a long time.

"Now Chubais and Gaidar have entered Fang Chen's room, and they must have begun to talk about me for more than half an hour. ”

Thinking of Fang Chen's extremely ugly face at this time, the red wine in Soros's cup couldn't help but shake even more turbulently.

Well, that's right, he gave Chubais 30 million dollars, and the main purpose was to disgust Fang Chen.

In his opinion, as long as he can disgust Fang Chen, it is not a problem to spend 30 million US dollars, after all, last time Fang Chen cheated him, let him give Fang Chen's funds to the bottom, let Fang Chen's funds escape first, and he almost lost 30 million US dollars.

Besides, the $30 million was not spent in vain, not to mention getting acquainted with top Russian bigwigs such as Chubais and Yeltsin, and achieving his goal of disrupting the current situation in Russia, just the hotel under his feet was enough for him to return to his capital and make a lot of money.

Hearing this, Oliver couldn't help but ask: "Are you really ready to stand on Yeltsin's side? Then why did you make a provocation to this Mr. Fang at that time?"

Seriously, he has been following Soros for nearly twenty years, and he still can't understand Soros's operation.

"No!" Soros said flatly.

Immediately after, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a slightly hideous smile, "I just gave this Mr. Fang a problem, and now the ball is at Fang Chen's feet." ”

In the current situation in Russia, siding with Yeltsin is not a very advantageous choice.

Moreover, he did not look down on Yeltsin as a person, although Yeltsin freed Russia from the Soviet Union and buried the red country with his own hands, but his performance in Yeltsin can only be described by two words: incompetence.

Although he does not like Russia, he has to admit that Russia is the second most powerful country in the world, and the whole of Europe is trembling under the iron horse of Russia.

But now, under the leadership of Yeltsin, Russia is increasingly moving towards a second-rate country, with currency depreciation, inflation, system collapse, and social chaos, and even basic people's livelihood cannot be guaranteed.

Such a country is embarrassed to claim that it is a democracy, "Phew!"

He even preferred Russia to claim that it had inherited the mantle of the Soviets, which might make more Russians yearn for a capitalist, developed, democratic and free country.

According to his findings, 86 percent of Russians already say they miss the Soviets, compared to 53 percent two years ago.

It can be said that Russia is simply the worst example of democracies, only a little stronger than those in Africa, and inferior to the countries of South and Southeast Asia.

Hearing Soros say this, Oliver was even more confused, Soros made such a big play, spent a lot of money like 30 million US dollars, but didn't want to be on Yeltsin's side, but just to disgust Fang Chen, it was really incredible.

Seriously, at this moment, he felt as if he didn't know Soros anymore.

"And then, what if that Mr. Fang doesn't care, or just swallow his anger?" Oliver couldn't help but ask.

Soros said nonchalantly: "Then continue to support Yeltsin, maybe ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Soros's mouth showed a hint of a smile, "Perhaps, Mr. Fang and I can become very good friends, after all, before, we were a cooperative relationship and an ally." ”

In fact, in his opinion, he himself has always been transcendent, like an invisible hand that is changing the trajectory of the Russian ship little by little, allowing it to go in the direction he wants.

In this case, the more Yeltsin and Rudskoi fight, the more his goal will be achieved, after all, if he wants to tilt the already balanced balance in favor of the side he wants, he only needs to add the weight of a goose feather.

And if there is a difference of thousands of catties, it is necessary to invest more than a thousand catties of strength.

Judging from the situation in Russia, Yeltsin is in a weak position and cannot deal with the aggressive Rudskoi, so if he supports Yeltsin, it will be easier for the two to reach a balance, and it will be more convenient for him to muddy the troubled waters of Russia even more.

Besides, what he and Fang Chen were fighting for was just one breath, and he didn't have any deep hatred and hatred, as long as Fang Chen was willing to bow to him and pretend to be deaf and dumb about his support for Yeltsin, then he, as the victor, naturally didn't care.

If Fang Chen insisted on kicking him out of Yeltsin's camp, not to mention whether Fang Chen could do it, let Yeltsin give up him, the big benefactor, and say that Fang Chen had done it, it was actually not bad.

First of all, Yeltsin will definitely have a grudge against Fang Chen, and the relationship between the two will inevitably not return to the original harmony.

And for him, it can be regarded as a vote for him to lean on Rudskoi's side.

After all, after Fang Chen's actions, everyone knew that it was impossible for him to lean on Yeltsin's side again.

He believed that as long as Rudskoi fully believed in him, he and Rudskoi's side would be in perfect harmony, and the Russian presidency would definitely belong to Rudskoi.

To be honest, he felt that Yeltsin's ability was poor, and this Rudskoi's ability was even worse, Yeltsin more or less understood some economics, and this Rudskoi was a reckless man who had just come off the battlefield and did not know how to govern the country at all.

It's probably just a bit of an infighting.

However, the most important thing is that Rudskoi has a grudge against Fang Chen, so after Rudskoi comes to power, what can Fang Chen do?

He can assert that Fang Chen's foundation in Russia will change his surname from now on.

If Fang Chen is not good, he will not have the opportunity to step into Russia again in his life.

He believed that this was the best punishment for Fang Chen.

And the price to be paid is nothing more than some money.

Money, he doesn't care anymore.

He made a personal profit of $680 million last year against the pound, and now he spends tens of millions of dollars, even if it is just for fun, there is no problem at all.

Not to mention, if he does this, he will also be rewarded by the Senate.

In other words, no matter what he does, he can actually harvest sweet fruits, reap the benefits of fishermen, and make sure that he does not lose money.

At this time, Chubais, who was looking at Fang Chen's expression, no matter how stupid he was, realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Fang, is there anything wrong with what I just said?" Chubais asked, puzzled.
