Yelena's eyes flickered with emotion when she looked at Fang Chen, she knew that what Fang Chen said just now was not just polite, or a simple beautiful word, Fang Chen's words were more to show that he would give Luzhkov his full support.

When Luzhkov had just taken office and was adrift through the wind and rain, Fang Chen was able to make such a statement, which was really a relief in the snow.

And she also heard Luzhkov say that as long as Fang Chen's supplies to Moscow did not have problems, his position as the mayor of Moscow would be secured.

In this era when the original state-run system in Russia collapsed and some state-owned farms, non-staple food, clothing and other factories were shut down, the materials that Fang Chen transported from China were even more important.

A hint of surprise flashed in Berezovsky's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "According to your meaning, there is still time for Russia's economy to improve." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Fang Chen in unison, hoping to get Fang Chen's explanation.

Russia's exchange rate has been tumbling for nearly two years, inflation has indeed been curbed when Gaidar and Chubais have just announced shock therapy, and there have even been too many items on store shelves and milk transporters protesting against stores not buying milk.

But within two months, inflation exploded again, and a pound of beef worth 43 rubles in December last year has now risen to almost 300 rubles a pound.

It can be said that almost no one is hopeful that Russia's economic situation will pick up, but now Fang Chen actually said that Russia will not go on like this.

If someone else said it, they would just think that person was talking nonsense, but this is from their dear boss, the richest man in Russia, Fang Chen, who has created countless miracles, it is very different.

For Fang Chen's words, Mr. President will attach great importance to them.

Looking at everyone's eagerness and curiosity, Fang Chen said lightly: "Russia will naturally not fall into chaos all the time, as the so-called prosperity must decline, decline must flourish, Russia's current situation is just something that will inevitably happen in any country at the time of alternation, and of course it will be calmed down." ”

After Yeltsin overthrew Rudskoi and other conservatives in the October events of next year, and took power, order in Russia was soon completely restored.

And Fang Chen also said before that Russia, as the country with the largest territory in the world, is too rich in natural resources, and Russia can live very well and nourishing just by selling natural gas, oil, and mineral deposits, and then developing some light industry, making something to eat, drink, wear, and use.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh lightly, although the Soviets were very strong, the Soviets spent most of their national strength and wealth on the development of military competitions.

Russia is many times weaker than the Soviets, but because it no longer invests a large amount of national strength and wealth in the military, but invests it in people's livelihood and light industry, coupled with Yeltsin's active move closer to the United States and other developed Western countries and the acceptance of aid from Western countries, the people's lives are much better than in the Soviet era.

It has to be said that this is delicate.

And Moscow under the leadership of Luzhkov is the most special existence in Russia, Luzhkov did not privatize Moscow's enterprises on a large scale in his previous life, but it was up to him to choose and decide who could get the enterprises.

Some people criticized Luzhkov, saying that Luzhkov never gave people anything for free, and in his eyes everything needed to be managed, and he, Luzhkov, was the general manager of these things.

He can close down any restaurant and guesthouse and choose a new owner for them, he is a symbol of authority!

Luzhkov was in charge of everything in Moscow, and if something displeased him, he would immediately stop it, he had absolute rights over everything, and when Luzhkov gave the order, the merchants had to listen attentively, because without Luzhkov's support, they could not survive.

This is a typical feudal way of organizing and management.

In order to build the Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer in Moscow, Luzhkov also forced some Moscow financial and unemployed companies to donate.

The big oligarch Smolengis, donated fifty-three kilograms of gold for the dome of the church, and Gazprom donated 10 billion rubles for the marble cladding of the façade of the church.

Luzhkov made these businessmen understand that if you don't contribute anything to Moscow, he will make you feel uncomfortable staying in the city.

It is precisely because of Luzhkov's perverted grip on Moscow and this orderly, orderly privatization that he has designated.

So that Luzhkov can also distribute the money obtained from the sale of the enterprise to every Moscow citizen every year, and each person can probably share the equivalent of one or two thousand dollars in purchasing power in rubles.

Under Luzhkov's management, Moscow became more and more prosperous, and the oligarchs caused by Russia's special system soon became the city with the most billionaires in the world, and one out of every three rubles of Russian wealth came from Moscow.

How could Muscovites have no money, no spending power, in this situation.

It was also because of this that Berezovsky and Kadannikov were able to implement their plan to raise $2 billion to build a people's automobile factory and sell cars cheaply.

If Russia had been the same as it is now, the people would not even be able to afford to eat, and they would have raised funds to build a hammer car factory.

After this period, the Russians lived a fairly good life, that is, in 2014, because of the Crimea incident, the United States and other G7 sanctions were imposed, oil prices plummeted, and the quality of life dropped significantly.

As an academician of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a month's salary is equivalent to 1,500 Chinese dollars.

Therefore, these low prices, Volkswagen cars still have a good way out in Russia.

After pondering for a few moments, Berezovsky said to Fang Chen: "Then I will continue to buy Guzhili and Lada cars produced by the Volga Automobile Plant now?"

"Yes, in addition, the Automobile Alliance has helped the AvtoVA Automobile Factory so much and undertaken a large amount of inventory, in terms of price, does the AvtoVAZ Automobile Factory also have to make concessions?" Fang Chen's eyes flashed an inexplicable light.

In the current situation, ordinary Russians are reluctant to buy cars, and the price reduction is simply a normal operation.

Even if he lowers the price now, the Volga Automobile Plant will still be grateful to him.

"Rest assured, I'll get a good price. Berezovsky smiled at the corner of his mouth that bordered on coldness.

"And you can also introduce some Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, Ford Volkswagen, low-cost models, after all, the Russian cars of Guzhili and Lada are too old to meet the aesthetics and needs of modern people. Fang Chen said slowly.

Berezovsky pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed, now he has opened up all the international channels for transporting cars, and the biggest factor restricting him from selling cars is because Mercedes-Benz, BMW, these car factories do not give him too many car quotas, he is a clever woman who has no rice to cook.

These car factories have always been very cautious about the manufacturing plan of luxury cars, but those Volkswagen, low-priced, and high-volume models are another matter, and with his relationship with these car factories and dealers, he can easily get a large number of low-cost cars.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Luzhkov's mind, and he blurted out: "Then are we, can we cooperate with these car factories to build car factories in Russia, after all, Russia's heavy industry is still very good." ”

Building a joint venture in Russia?

Fang Chen couldn't help but pause, his instinctive feeling was unreliable, anyway, he hadn't heard of several automobile factories in his previous life that cooperated with Russia to build factories, it seemed that it was Ford, GM, and Chang'an.

And when Changan entered Russia in 2018, Ford and GM announced the closure of factories in Russia.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to build a lot of factories and workers in Russia, not to mention the low efficiency, it is a trouble to manage so many people, how good it is to engage in car sales.

A hundred workers may be able to build a hundred cars a year, but selling them is only a year's worth of car sales.

But looking at the expectant look in Berezovsky's eyes, Fang Chen couldn't say anything to refuse at once.

After a few breaths, Fang Chen said faintly: "If you want to talk to these car factories, then let's talk, look at their conditions, maybe you can talk to Ford first, build a car factory in Russia, but Ford's old tradition." ”

Ford came to the Soviet Union to invest in factories in the twenties, when the Soviets were just founded, and only withdrew after the outbreak of the Cold War, and after the establishment of Russia, Ford was also the first foreign automobile company to invest and build factories in Russia.

Fang Chen now suddenly felt a little bit of the inertia of history, Berezovsky had always been obsessed with building an automobile plant in his previous life, and in this life, Berezovsky's fate has changed so much that he even wants to build an automobile factory.

It's a subtle feeling.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions. Unexpectedly, Fang Chen really agreed, and Berezovsky was overjoyed.

"I don't care how you toss, when the situation in Russia calms down, I have to see the growth of the profits of the auto union. Fang Chen said angrily.

As a monopoly on the import channel of Russian automobiles, Russia's No. 1 car sales company, the profit brought to him by the automobile alliance is not enough for 200 million Chinese dollars a month.

Such profits are no longer worthy of the position of the Auto Union in Russia, nor are they enough to satisfy his appetite.

And you know, we are still in a special era of historical opportunity for a sharp depreciation of the ruble.

Moreover, in order to make 04 and other high-tech products develop better, defeat Lucent and Fujitsu as soon as possible, Fangchen needs more funds.
