After the negotiations, Chubais, Luzhkov and others did not even eat, and directly sat in the car again, leaving in a low-key manner as when they came.

Of course, their so-called low-key, that is, their own imagination, actually can't even fool themselves.

Now, there are more spies in front of the Grand Hotel in Moscow than ants on the streets.

Fang Chen summoned Kadannikov and the other four to the Grand Moscow Hotel with great fanfare, how many of them could not care and not be nervous?

Unless you are a fool, you will think that Fang Chen and the five of them gathered together, what kind of wind and snow, poetry and songs.

In fact, for these spies, or Rudskoi, and other forces in Russia, they would rather be having fun, drinking and eating meat, even if it is gambling, and playing with women.

But obviously it can't be, they must talk about only one thing, that is, politics, the current situation, how to grasp more power.

Almost everyone smelled a smell of mountain rain coming to fill the building, and at this time Moscow was about to plunge into an eventful year again.

Sitting in the car, Chubais and Gaidar sat side by side, but neither of them talked, but fell into an inexplicable silence.

I don't know how long it took, Chubais said with some uncertainty: "Gaidar, do you think it's okay to start promoting the idea of a referendum in ten days, and a formal referendum in another fifteen days?"

In fact, just as Fang Chen thought, as long as they make a decision on the economic policy, it is basically equivalent to Yeltsin's decision.

After all, Yeltsin didn't know much about the economy, and in the economy, Yeltsin was completely blind, so he completely put the power of Russia's economic development into their hands.

Obviously, Fang Chen is a more professional and talented person than them in terms of economy, especially Fang Chen's forward-looking view of the current situation is really impressive.

So he was actually more inclined to what Fang Chen said, but when it really came time to report to Yeltsin and decide to do so, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

And this is not just a question of the economy, a voucher plan, a question of privatization, but a question of the decisive battle between them and Rudskoi, which will ultimately be decided by Yeltsin.

Hearing this, Gaidar glanced at Chubais, and then said with a smile: "Chubais, you are too timid." ”

Chubais's face turned red, and then he said very calmly: "Compared with the bent on overthrowing the Soviets at that time, he is indeed much more timid. ”

Speaking of this, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Chubais's eyes.

He was only in his early twenties back then, and surrounded by a group of classmates and admirers, he was enthusiastically established, and the "Young Economists Association" was an existence that he didn't even know what he did.

This association of young economists, composed of graduates of Leningrad universities, ostensibly discussed and studied all kinds of economic knowledge, but in fact it was aimed at promoting democratic ideas in the intellectual circles.

Subsequently, he also founded the Reform Club, braved the blows of the Soviet government, arrested, expressed more radical ideas, and even lived a long time in Tibet.

But there is no doubt that at that time he was happy and hopeful, believing that his words and efforts could bring a happy life to this country and to the people of this country.

But the reality is ......

Chubais's face showed a hint of helplessness, even a sad smile.

As soon as the thought moved, Chubais looked at Gaidar and said seriously: "Gaidar, now I know how much pressure you faced before. ”

Although they were almost the same thinkers and cronies as Yeltsin, in fact, he was always weaker than Gaidar.

Gaidar was the first deputy prime minister of the government, and the de facto prime minister was naturally endowed with great power, while he was only the chief of staff of the president, and all his authority came from Yeltsin's trust and authorization.

And most of the economic policies came from Gaidar, but compared to Gaidar, his personality is more extroverted and lively, which seems to be on a par with Gaidar.

And now that Gaidar has been rectified by Rudskoi, he has naturally risen to the top and become the head of the privatization policy.

At this time, the huge pressure really hit like a mountain of seas, and he was almost out of breath, and even his temper became more and more irritable.

Truly, sometimes when he thinks about it, he himself is surprised that such a thing as hanging a mayor can come from his mouth, the mouth of such a gentle economist in the eyes of the people.

Seeing Chubais's empathetic and painful appearance for him, Gaidar sighed quietly in his heart, as the general manager, he naturally has all kinds of opportunities, like a thousand heavy burdens on his shoulders, and he often thinks about putting down this burden and resting.

But......

But after coming down, after having no power or office, he began to miss this period of being the president.

This is probably the so-called big man can't be without power for a day, once a man has tasted the taste of power, even if he knows that this is a cup of poisonous wine, he can only be willing to ask for it, and there is no reason to refuse.

Therefore, he is a little envious of Chubais now.

But this kind of thinking is not enough for outsiders, and even his wife and parents have never been revealed.

"People are really cheap. Gaidar said with great self-deprecation in his heart.

But on the surface, he still smiled indifferently, and patted Chubais on the shoulder comfortingly, and then said: "No matter what other people think, but we know that everything we do is for Russia, for the Russian people, and ......"

Speaking of this, Gaidar's eyes flashed with a fierce, even ruthless light, "As long as Rudskoi and Khasbulatov and the red factory directors led by them are brought down and sent to prison for this group of moths that erode Russia's interests, I believe that Russia will still usher in a brighter tomorrow." ”

Chubais nodded approvingly, and his palms were tightly clasped with Gaidar.

Although they were reluctant to mention the word, there was no doubt that he and Gaidar were not only friends, but also like-minded comrades.

After calming down a little, Gaidar thought about it and said: "Fang's opinion, I think it's still good, as for letting the Ponzi scheme go for ten days, and then publicizing the referendum for fifteen days to start voting, on the whole, there is no big problem. ”

According to the speed of the Ponzi scheme, if it is allowed to last for 10 days, it will probably defraud 2 million to 3 million people, that is, win them 2 million to 3 million staunch supporters.

After all, once the voucher scheme is canceled, these people will lose all their money.

Potential supporters, on the other hand, will expand the number by 10 million or even 15 million, after all, they also want to make money and get such high returns.

This is a force that can directly decide the victory, even if half of them are originally for Rudskoi or neutrals, then they can declare their victory.

In fact, just like the U.S. election, presidential candidates don't need to win votes one state at a time, because a considerable number of states are hardcore states, and this part does not need to be fought for.

The so-called hardcore state means that from the data of previous elections, it is definitely a state with one party, whether it is a Democratic Party or a Republican, which does not matter.

After all, as a presidential candidate of any party, you don't have to fight for your own state, you still support yourself, and the state that supports the other party, no matter how you fight for it, you still support the other party, and you can't change it.

And the real focus of these presidential candidates is the swing states where the two sides are deadlocked.

This is also the reason why the U.S. election does not restrict third-party elections, but no third-party can be elected.

It needs to win over these states from Republicans and Democrats.

How strong is the ability, how strong the personality is charismatic, and how strong is the financial resources to do this?

Anyway, such people have not appeared in the United States.

The same is true of their rivalry with Rudskoi, what they need is a populace who will swing between them and Rudskoi, and of course it would be best if they could win over Rudskoi's supporters, after all, such people are doubly effective.

Rudskoi minus one, they plus one, isn't it double.

And according to their survey statistics, the difference in the proportion of supporters between them and Rudskoi is actually about 2% or 3%.

And after many surveys, either they have 2% or 3% more than Rudskoi, or Rudskoi has 2%, 3% more supporters than them, after all, there is a lot of error in the sample survey, and people are not necessarily willing to express their true intentions.

But in general, it's still about the same, so once they can really have two or three million more supporters, they can basically get a comprehensive victory.

And the reason why Fang Chen controlled the time to 25 days is actually another consideration, that is, Soros's interest payment date is approaching.

If people can't get the money they should get from Soros on the interest payment date, then there is a high probability that these people, let alone support the voucher plan, support privatization, and support them, I am afraid that they will directly stand on the opposite side of them.

Therefore, Fang Chen did this in order to control the impact that Soros would have to the minimum.

Once the referendum is over, even if the people find out that Soros will not pay them interest, I am afraid that there is no way to do it, after all, the wood is already in the boat, and they have more time to clean up the mess.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you let the Ponzi scheme spread for a while. Chubais thought of it, and said with some embarrassment.

"But I'm afraid, Fang, won't be willing, in this case, the price he paid is too great. Gaidar shook his head.

Although the more the Ponzi scheme spreads, the higher their winning rate will be, but correspondingly, Fang Chen needs to pay more money to take over this market.

But who knew that Chubais actually shook his head, "Fang, don't you plan to use the voucher to buy 20 percent of Russia's oil and gas resources? If we can, we will discuss with him, and if he agrees to pay a greater price, we can allow him to control 25 percent, or even 30 percent, of Russia's oil and gas resources." ”

Hearing this, Gaidar paused for a moment and looked at Chubais with some surprise.

He suddenly felt that the Chubais in front of him had become a little strange, and in this way, the previous Chubais would definitely not be able to speak.

The importance of those oil fields and gas fields to Russia, not to mention them, is to pull out a Russian who can say it clearly and clearly, especially now, half of Russia's life depends on these oil fields, and the gas fields are hanging, if there are no these oil fields and gas fields, Russia may no longer exist now.

The other half of his life depended on the sale of these assets left by the Soviets.

In fact, both they and Fang Chen know very well that the reason why Fang Chen cannot buy more oil and gas resources in Russia is not that Fang Chen has no money to buy vouchers, nor that Fang Chen does not have the will, but because they do not allow it.

That's the crux of the matter.

Considering Fang Chen's strength, influence, and contributions to Russia, especially this time he resolutely stood on their side, it is still okay to allow Fang Chen to purchase 20% of Russia's oil and gas resources.

After all, it is only 20% of the shares, and the ownership and control of these oil and gas resources are still in their hands, and Fang Chen is just a small shareholder who has a penny, and it doesn't matter much.

If they didn't even want to give the money to Fang Chen, not to mention that Fang Chen's strength was still there, it should not be underestimated, and if they did this, who would really support them in the future and be willing to do things for them?

But if the stake is expanded to 25% or 30%, it will be a bit too much, and it is easy to lose the tail and not be able to control Fang Chen.

And this is definitely a crime against the Russian people, although he does not mind the emergence of super-rich people in Russia, and even likes to see it, but these oil and gas resources are precious assets belonging to the people of all Russia.

Seriously, he felt that Chubais was really becoming more and more ruthless now, more and more like a tyrant, in order to achieve his goal, he would do whatever it takes, he could abandon everything, and everything could be used as an exchange for interests.

"I don't think it's a good idea, but if you insist, as long as the president agrees, you can talk to a party, I ...... I am silent. ”

With a few movements of his mouth, Gaidar wanted to say something, but did not say another word, but swallowed the words back again, and in the end he compromised.

Because he knew that Yeltsin would most likely agree to Chubais's proposal, and in contrast, Yeltsin was the real hero, the unscrupulous hero.

And Fang Chen would happily agree, so why would he be this wicked person.
