Fang Chen sat quietly in the café, looking at the scenery in the distance, then picked up the cup, took a sip, and couldn't help grinning, it was really bitter.

Because there is no sugar in the coffee, it's not that Fang Chen doesn't want to add sugar, but there is no sugar in the café now.

He had wanted tea, but the waiter at the café said there was no tea, that the chai with the elephant package would not arrive until next week, and that they only had one tea here, and that it would be sold out.

Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly, this is very Soviet.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, extremely smart, sat in front of Fang Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Boris Berezovsky. Fang Chen said in English.

"Hello. Berezovsky replied with some restraint in English.

It is not normal for a Soviet to know English, but it is not surprising if he is a Jew.

As for why Fang Chen allowed Berezovsky to come here, it was naturally because of the hundred rubles in the envelope.

Fang Chen smiled and looked at Berezovsky, the head of Russia's seven oligarchs, with tens of billions of dollars in assets, and the Forbes rich list, the world's ninth-richest person.

At this time, Berezovsky looked a little embarrassed, and there was not much hair on both sides, greasy, soft, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed it.

The clothes have been washed and some of them are white, and they are even about to melt away.

At this time, Berezovsky was only forty-four years old, but he looked like he was sixty-four.

Life is indeed ridiculous, at this time other Russian oligarchs have already started by opening banks and selling fake wine, but the largest Russian oligarch, Berezovsky, is still just an ordinary researcher, and he can't see the scenery of later generations at all.

In later generations, Berezovsky was the de facto controlling shareholder of Russia's largest automobile broker, Russia's sixth largest oil field "Siberian Oil Company", Russia's largest gas company, "Nayapali Oil and Gas Company", and the largest oil refinery, "Omsk Oil Processing Plant".

It also controls the Russian Civil Aviation, is the largest television station in Russia, the largest shareholder and actual controller of the Russian public television station, and controls part of the shares of the Independent and Spark Weekly.

Doing business is not Berezovsky's greatest skill, but politics is.

Berezovsky later served as an adviser to the government's industrial policy, deputy secretary of the Federal Security Council, a deputy to the State Duma, and in 1996, the US presidential candidate Bob Dole, who once called Berezovsky the Kremlin's red godfather.

When Berezovsky was at his best, he was able to easily decide whether a Russian prime minister would stay or go together with other oligarchs.

"Mr. Berezovsky, I have heard that you are not doing well. Fang Chen stirred the coffee cup and asked with a smile.

Berezovsky's face changed slightly, and he looked annoyed and angry when he was exposed, but when he thought of the hundred rubles in his pocket, he suddenly said honestly like a deflated ball: "Yes." ”

In the Soviet Union, anti-Semitism was the national policy, and it took five times as hard for a Jew to achieve the same things as ordinary people.

Berezovsky has been a member of the Institute of Control Research for twenty-one years, and he is still only a doctor, and he has not obtained the qualifications of a lecturer, let alone a professor.

And the Order of the Communist Youth League, the Order of the State, and the Order of Lenin have nothing to do with him at all.

All he got every month was the poor little more than 300 rubles.

More than 300 rubles is enough for anything

He couldn't even afford to eat the baguette he hated most.

He hadn't washed his hair properly for ten days because he didn't have the money to buy shampoo.

The clothes on his body were even more white because he didn't have enough change of clothes, but he was still wearing them.

If it weren't for this, how could he have sat in this café for a hundred rubles.

"A thousand rubles, I'll give you the economic model of the All-Russian Automobile Union for a thousand rubles. Berezovsky whispered to Fang Chen, but his eyes revealed a sense of madness.

He decided not to go around the bend with Fang Chen anymore to bring up these embarrassments that he was unwilling to mention.

"Economic model of the Russian Automobile Union"

Fang Chen paused for a moment, then smiled: "Mr. Berezovsky, you are mistaken, I don't need this thing. ”

"What"

Hearing this, Berezovsky seemed to lose all his strength and slammed into his chair.

The economic model of the Russian Automobile Union is the result of his research in the last two years, and it is the only bargaining chip he can come up with.

Berezovsky was silent for a moment, then stood up, "Then I'm sorry, I only have this." ”

With that, Berezovsky was ready to leave.

"Mr. Berezovsky, please sit down first, let me ask you, do you know Mr. Kadannikov?" Fang Chen said.

"I naturally know the director of the Kadannikov plant. Berezovsky blurted out.

Looking at Fang Chen's gesture, Berezovsky hesitated, but sat down honestly.

"I'd like to ask you to introduce me, Mr. Kadannikov. Fang Chen said with a smile.

Berezovsky, although he was very powerful in later generations, is now just a small researcher who is not worth mentioning.

Kadannikov is the target of Fang Chen's trip, the real big man.

Kadannikov is now the owner of the Volga Automobile Plant, and probably next year he will be able to take the position and become the first deputy general manager of Russia.

Of course, like all Russian prime ministers of the Yeltsin era, Kadannikov did not stay in office for long, probably less than two years before he stepped down because of the Chechen incident.

But this is already a long time, Yeltsin is a terrifying president who has replaced five prime ministers in 15 months.

After the ouster of Kadannikov.

In 1993, Berezovsky founded the All-Russian Automobile Union, with which he made his first pot of gold by reselling cars.

"This" Berezovsky's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Fang Chen laughed, I have to say that Berezovsky's performance is really too clumsy.

He took out another envelope from his chest pocket and handed it to Berezovsky.

Berezovsky opened the envelope and saw ten of the brand-new hundred-dollar ruble bills and immediately looked shocked.

After a little hesitation, Berezovsky took the envelope into his arms and said categorically: "I will definitely bring you to the director of the Kadannikov plant." ”
