Chapter 489: You Didn't Do Enough!
After sitting down, it was indeed because they hadn't seen each other for three months, everyone was happier at this party, and even Fang Chen made an exception to drink two glasses of wine, of course, referring to a small cup of about five yuan, while Kadannikov and Luzhkov were all vogart special cups, which looked similar to coffee cups, but they were bigger, and a cup was at least more than half a catty, which was smaller than the domestic big tea pot.
Before drinking, Russia is almost the same as in China, and you always have to say some toasts, Kadannikov said that Rory is verbose, and Fang Chen can't remember it, to the effect that the first cup is for getting together, and the second cup is blessed with health, which is actually similar to that in China.
The third cup is different, for all love, love for the motherland, love for the family, love for the wife, in short, for all love, probably because of personality problems, which are not mentioned in the country.
This makes Fang Chen find it interesting, if you stand on the position of the Soviets, Kadannikov and Luzhkov are proper traitors, subversives, and people who bury the Soviets with their own hands.
Seeing Kadannikov and Luzhkov put down their wine glasses, Fang Chen said with a somewhat serious face: "Why did you two appear together, and you have to eat at the Grand Moscow Hotel." ”
Although the three of them are allies, to be honest, this kind of scene where three people gather in one place at the same time, Fang Chen has experienced it four times, the opening of Huaxia Bank, the small circle gathering before Yeltsin's swearing-in, the oath ceremony, and then this time.
Whether it is as a rich man or a top magnate, Fang Chen and Kadannikov and Luzhkov have actually avoided this kind of meeting before, and Fang Chen went to their house separately, if Fang Chen hadn't stopped all the supplies of Chinese goods in his hands, Luzhkov would never have gone to the Moscow Hotel and looked for him angrily.
As a result, Fang Chen's meaning was the same as before, to meet separately, or to find a small place to hide, but the two of them said that the two of them came to the Moscow Hotel to find Fang Chen, which really made him a little incomprehensible.
Hearing this, Kadannikov and Luzhkov looked at each other and smiled.
A faint smile hung on the corner of Luzhkov's mouth, "Fang, you have been away for three months, the situation in Russia is no longer the same as before, the energy of entrepreneurs, bankers, and the rich has been revealed, and politicians no longer care about meeting and chatting with them, and getting mutual support for each other." ”
Fang Chen's face changed slightly, this so-called mutual support between each other has a special idiom in Huaxia, that is, collusion between officials and businessmen.
Of course, this phenomenon has always existed, in any country, at any time, but it should only be like a mouse in the shadows, and it should not come out to meet people.
"Recently, Comrade Yeltsin has frequently met with Jeffrey Sachs and Rudlov and others, you know who they are, right?" Kadannikov interjected.
Fang Chen nodded, these two people naturally knew that Jeffrey Sachs is a famous economist at Harvard University in the United States, the chief economic adviser to the future United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the 'father of shock therapy', and has been named one of the "100 most influential people in the world" by Time magazine for two consecutive years.
He has led shock therapy in Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Poland, Lovenia, Mongolia and Russia.
Interestingly, however, shock therapy was successful in the previous countries, at least in the short term, and Geoffrey Sachs was awarded the Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland.
Under his leadership, Bolivia's inflation fell from 40,000 percent a year to 10 percent a year, and Bolivia's commercial banks cut their debt in half.
However, despite the economic crisis in the 80s, Bolivia was still very poor in the previous life, sitting on a large number of minerals, but it did not get rich, and the whole territory was full of gold mines, and the American Southern Company often encountered more than 50 grams of natural gold when mining its gold mines.
Oil and gas production is also among the highest in the world, so Bolivia is also known as the 'donkey sitting on the gold mine', sitting on a treasure trove, but not even filling its belly.
Rudlov is the president of Credit Suisse First Boston, a utopian banker, or gambler, who brought his company into chaotic Eastern Europe at the beginning of the upheaval in Eastern Europe, dealing with struggling Eastern European countries, and can also be said to be Huaxia Bank's biggest rival in the field of private banking.
It's just that because Fang Chen has continuously released a series of killer features, such as high-interest savings, daily necessities, etc., Rudlov's First Boston Bank has long been out of the eyes of Huaxia Bank, and its ability to absorb deposits is not even one-fifth of Huaxia Bank.
Moreover, he is still very arrogant, Fang Chen has heard a sentence from Rudlov, "I am used to being pleaded by prime ministers (prime ministers) to make major decisions about their ability to borrow money in the world market." ”
The implication of his words is that whether the countries of Eastern Europe can borrow money from other countries in the world and banks depends on his face.
However, in fact, it seems to be true.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Kadannikov's words, Fang Chen instantly understood that Yeltsin did not shy away from meeting these people, let alone Kadannikov and Luzhkov coming to see him.
Is this considered that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked?
Fang Chen shook his head, although he knew history, he had to say that the speed at which Russia slid towards capitalism was faster and firmer than he imagined.
It is no wonder that Russia will later be controlled by the seven oligarchs, although the power of the capitalists in the capitalist countries is indeed huge, but there is really no one like Russia.
"Moreover, it is because of you that the relationship between you and us is known to everyone in the whole of Russia, and no one knows about it, so is it true that the relationship between us does not exist?" Luzhkov said.
Without waiting for Fang Chen to answer, Luzhkov said bluntly: "There must be, so it is better to meet in public like this, and besides, your reputation is better than that of Jeffrey Sachs and Rudlov." ”
Kadannikov nodded unconsciously, he actually meant the same thing, covering it up made people suspicious, thinking that they were secretly pondering some kind of conspiracy.
At most, it is just to wait for Fang Chen to have some blood and donate another 100,000 yuan.
At that time, I'm afraid that ordinary people will still want them to meet Fang Chen.
Fang Chen smiled bitterly, comparing him to Jeffrey Sachs and Rudlove, and looked down on him too much.
Although it is inevitable to embrace capitalism and Western countries, most of the people have not been able to change their emotions so quickly after decades of Cold War confrontation.
There is still a natural dislike for Westerners like Jeffrey Sachs and Rudlove.
Putting this topic aside, Fang Chen naturally chatted with the two of them inevitably about the major events that had happened in the past three months, as well as the current situation.
During the three months of his absence, the biggest thing was naturally the August rebellion, but since we knew that Grachev and Lebed were actually Yeltsin's people, the August rebellion was naturally as dangerous as in history.
Moreover, Yeltsin also took advantage of the situation to control all the armed forces in Russia, and after his return, the two reached an agreement to allow one side to act as the other in an emergency.
It can be said that it is the biggest winner.
I don't even know where the muzzle of the gun in my hand is pointing, Yazov and Kolyuchkov lost unjustly.
In addition, Kadannikov and Luzhkov's biggest feeling at this time is chaos, big at both ends.
The Russian government and the Soviet government coexisted, and now theoretically anyone can give them orders, and the major government departments also do not know the generals and generals, and there is chaos, and they do not know who to listen to.
Fang Chen sighed lightly, this is probably why Yeltsin was so impatient, and two months later, he conspired with Ukraine and Belarus to establish the CIS, and he really didn't want to see this chaotic situation.
If you compare the person below to a little daughter-in-law, it is more uncomfortable than having an evil mother-in-law, I am afraid that there are two mothers-in-law above, and the ghost knows who to listen to.
While chatting, Fang Chen's mind suddenly flashed and asked, "Kadannikov, let me ask you, did you arrange the fighter?"
Hearing this, Kadannikov couldn't help but laugh at once, "Dear Fang, I'm thinking about your safety, and don't you think it's a surprise?"
Fang Chen's face turned black in an instant, and he said angrily: "It's just fright, I saw that two fighter planes appeared next to me, and the people who were on the plane with me have already begun to write a suicide note." ”
"And where are you?" asked Kadannikov, not ashamed, but proud, with a curious expression.
Fang Chen sneered, too lazy to take care of him.
"Fang, I think there is a problem that you must face up to and solve. Luzhkov suddenly became extremely serious, and said seriously.
Fang Chen frowned slightly, he had a not very good feeling, although Luzhkov had always been cold and expressionless, but there were indeed not many times when he looked like this.
Stretching out his hand, Fang Chen motioned for Luzhkov to continue.
"You already know that there are Chinese people selling counterfeit and shoddy products, right?" Luzhkov said.
Fang Chen nodded, "I already know about this matter, and I have strictly ordered the people below not to sell fake goods for them, and I have also warned the manufacturers." ”
Then, Fang Chen told Luzhkov all the instructions and arrangements he had given to Ma Yun, and he could understand Luzhkov's concern and felt a little ashamed.
Although he is not the one who sells fakes, as a Chinese, he is also ashamed of the fact that there are Chinese people who do such things in Russia.
But who knew that Luzhkov actually shook his head, "Not enough, you haven't done enough, you should do more!"
