Chapter 921: Matthew
The three of them entered the box under the leadership of the waiter, but they had a good atmosphere to talk about before, because the chance encounter with Natasha and that Jelder made the three of them lose the mind to chat, and hurriedly finished eating. Roman had left beforehand, and Toy and Yang Dongxu found a room and sat down.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have come together to talk about the Sakhalin oil and gas project. Roman ...... "Without waiting for Yang Dongxu to ask, Toy spoke directly.
Although the words were not finished, when he had already understood what Toy meant. Roman's face is a little solemn, because as a local tyrant, he is engaged in oil and non-ferrous metal mining business in Russia.
The oil business in Russia cannot be done by Roman alone, otherwise he will not be a Russian tyrant, but like the royal family in the Middle East, he will become a world-class consortium.
But as a businessman who made his fortune in the oil business in Russia and became a local tycoon, some people are ready to develop new oil field projects in Russia, and as a fellow and quiet person, he must be cautious.
As for the Sakhalin oil and gas project, Yang Dongxu has heard a little, but in fact, when building the oil pipeline between China and Russia, Japan was one of the competitors.
And it is also a strong competitor, Russia at one time wanted to revise its plans to cooperate with Japan, and even the construction of the line of the Thai line in Russia began.
However, in the end, after many efforts in Huaxia, Yang Dongxu also helped to build a bridge from the inside, and the repaired 'Tainei Line' turned around to transport oil and gas to the mainland, which made the Japanese government very red.
But they can't change the fait accompli, so they still haven't given up on other oil fields and natural projects, and are constantly looking for other oil cooperation projects in Russia, of which Sakhalin Island is one of their goals.
"Did you get any message?" asked Toy, hesitatingly.
This news obviously does not refer to the news from Natasha and Jelde, but Yang Dongxu persuaded him to cooperate with the suggestion of the person on the stage just now.
"No, I have some investments and contacts on the Russian side, but I can't know more than you know. Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Toy frowned, he believed Yang Dongxu's words, and this belief was not only because the other party had no need to deceive him.
But although his family is very low-key in Russia for some reasons, the resources they have are unimaginable to outsiders, and the news channels are not comparable to Yang Dongxu.
Otherwise, Natasha, who is now a member of the Gurt family, would not have been able to ask him to count the messages to herself so politely.
"Then you ......," Toy looked confused.
"The support rate of whoever came to power was very high when he ran for office, and his skills after coming to power were also very popular with the people. Coupled with the support of such an upper-class force as the Gut family, which one may become the helmsman of Russia for a long time. Yang Dongxu said.
Toy, who was frowning, nodded and fell into deep thought, he understood what Yang Dongxu meant. Although his family did things very skillfully, he successfully walked off the table and did not die.
However, because the issue of the source of assets has not been treated well by the current regime, coupled with the iron hand of which person is in power, there is still a bit of hostility between the two sides, although no substantive conflict has broken out, but small frictions are constant.
Compared with those financial oligarchs who were overthrown, the Toy family is more powerful, especially the intertwined network of relationships makes people dare not act easily.
And this relationship network is very solid, and a large part of them ate meat at the table together back then, so those in power are also very jealous of them.
The two sides have barely maintained peace, but this is clearly not a long-term solution. According to her uncle's original intention, she should try to keep a low profile now, or train a contender to run in the next presidential election, if she wins, then the family behind Toy will go to a higher level, not to mention being on an equal footing with Gut, the first family, but at least having more capital.
Now he has to think about the question of which one will be re-elected.
Now that he has just come to power, he has such an iron fist, and after he sits in his position, the life of the Toy family will definitely be difficult, and if he can be re-elected, then the family behind Toy will be in danger of being uprooted.
"Your guess ......"
"I'm not a god, how do I know if it's right?" Yang Dongxu interrupted Toy in a funny way.
Toy also showed a wry smile on his face, because Yang Dongxu had always shown excellent vision, and he subconsciously asked how likely this matter was.
After asking, I also found that this question was a bit too naïve, if Yang Dongxu could really predict who would be the next president of Russia, it would really be a god.
"But according to the analysis of the information I have gathered, this is not unlikely. In particular, the Gut family is very optimistic about this. Yang Dongxu said.
Toy's face couldn't help but become solemn again, and this was indeed a very important factor to consider. The family behind Toy has always insisted on forbearance, in addition to wanting to find a supportive spokesperson after the next election, it is also not without thoughts of replacing the Gut family.
And now that the Gut family has fully supported the one on the stage, if they also follow the support, they can only drink soup with them, but they can't eat meat together, and it is a fool's dream to surpass the Gute family.
But what if the Gut family supports the regime that has been in control of Russia for a long time?
At that time, his family will not even be qualified to drink soup, and it is very likely that he will find a chance to be kicked out of the table, right?
......
......
The sound of the creaking wooden buildings on the dim corridors, if you don't look at the tall buildings in the distance, and the exterior style of the building. You think you've gone back to the ancient times when wooden buildings were the mainstay.
Compared with the various tiles and marbles that are becoming more and more popular in China, the conservative British prefer some wooden furniture, such as wooden floors, wooden stairs, wooden furniture, wooden doors, and even the mailbox at the door like to be wooden.
If you make a wooden staircase, or a wooden door in a city apartment, it always gives people a sense of backward turtles, but it is very common in the United Kingdom, and even those who feel that the domestic wooden things are turtles, come here with a look of intoxication and seem to smell the charm of history. But in fact, the ancestors who used wood the most were actually the Chinese and Chinese architecture.
The room obviously has a large floor-to-ceiling window, but it is blocked by thick curtains, which makes the surrounding light seem a little dim, coupled with some old furniture and chandeliers hanging on the ceiling of unknown age, it always gives people the feeling of a European castle.
Then I saw a wooden rocking chair that belonged to the ancient Chinese shape next to the thick curtain near the floor-to-ceiling window, and instantly had a nondescript feeling.
At this time, there was a bearded man lying on the rocking chair, and his messy hair was too decadent to tell how old he was. However, foreigners generally look old, even if the other party is clean and tidy, Yang Dongxu estimates that he can't guess the age of the other party.
Contrary to the decadent man in the rocking chair and eye-catching, there is a coffee table next to the rocking chair, a round wooden coffee table with a complete ancient Chinese shape, and there are some carvings on it, but because it is a little old, it does not see the beauty, but gives people a greasy feeling.
On top of the small coffee table is a teapot and four small cups, and the teapot is not of antique purple sand, but of blue and white porcelain. The white and bright blue and white flowers are in stark contrast to the old and dusty atmosphere of the room.
"Matthew Anrocco Edward?" Glancing casually at the furnishings in the room, Yang Dongxu frowned.
didn't seem to have any gentlemanly demeanor, but covered his nose with his hand very disliked, the musty smell in the room mixed with the decadent man in the rocking chair, I don't know if it was too long without the smell of bathing, plus the lack of air circulation, no one would like this smell.
As if hearing a voice, the decadent man lying in the rocking chair opened his eyes and glanced at Yang Dongxu, because the light in the room was dim and his vision was not good, he looked at it for about ten seconds, and seemed to see who was standing not far away.
"This is private territory, and while I won't shoot you with a gun like the Yankees, you're breaking the law now. After seeing Yang Dongxu's appearance clearly, Matthew didn't have too many expressions, he wasn't surprised because Yang Dongxu was an Asian, and he wasn't angry because the other party didn't tell him, even if he spoke in a very polite tone.
"Are you sure he's the person you're looking for?" Yang Dongxu turned sideways and took two steps back. Even if he covered his nose, the smell in the room made him a little unbearable, and although there was a smell of wood and mold at the door, there was air circulation.
Carlo glanced at the address in his hand, and compared the door that was not very clear, but he could barely see what the number was, although there was a look of doubt on his face, but in the end he confirmed that there was no mistake and just nodded.
"It should be that he is right, judging from the news I heard, he was because of ...... There is no job, plus some debts, so life is a little decadent, but ......" hasn't waited for him to finish.
Downstairs there was the sound of going upstairs, and there were still a lot of people listening to the footsteps, and the already moldy wooden staircase was creaking and swaying, and it seemed that the whole house was shaking.
There are four big men who came up, and the stairs are not wide, and these big men are not only tall and big, but also have horizontal figures, plus they wear a lot in the early spring weather, Yang Dongxu is afraid that they will be stuck in the staircase passage.
Seeing Yang Dongxu and Carlo standing at the door, as well as Du Fei who was standing a little behind Yang Dongxu, the leading man was stunned for a moment.
A little uncertain, he glanced up at the vague house number to make sure that he hadn't walked out of the floor, and then shook his body and climbed up from the staircase, and his vicious eyes kept looking at Yang Dongxu with a little doubt.
