Chapter 719: Chat with Comrade Lao Pu (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
Lao Pu is now the chairman of the St. Petersburg City International Liaison Committee, in charge of the city's foreign economic relations, and is the right-hand man of Mayor Sobchak. ā
Yang Zhun laughed and introduced Comrade Lao Pu to Wu Jianye, when Comrade Lao Pu saw Wu Jianye, he was also very surprised, he knew that Wu Jianye, when he was working in East Germany, Wu Jianye had won honors at the Berlin Film Festival in West Germany.
Before this, Comrade Lao Pu had always thought that Wu Jianye was just a simple film director, but he didn't expect that the other party would be the big boss behind Yang Zhun!
What kind of person is Yang Zhun, in the Soviet Union, he is also a character who can enter and leave the Kremlin at will, talk and laugh with generals from all walks of life, and his behind-the-scenes boss is Wu Jianye!
Wu ....... Hello Mr. Wu. Lao Pu didn't know what to call Wu Jianye, and he was a little confused about the situation for such a big man to come to see him!
Wu Jianye smiled and looked at the current Comrade Lao Pu, his head was not high, his clothes were plain, his hair was quite lush, and he did not have the situation of losing his head later.
"Good hairstyle. ā
"Thank you. Lao Pu was a little unclear about this greeting.
"It's okay to call me Director Wu in the future, I also heard Yang Zhun say this time, there is a good friend here in the Soviet Union, and I like to make friends the most, so let Yang Zhun invite you here, I hope you don't feel presumptuous!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
No matter how strong Lao Pu is after taking office, the road in the Soviet Union has just begun, and it is obvious that the arrogance in his heart has not yet been completely stimulated.
In front of countless big capitalists before, he was subjected to a lot of senseless discrimination, and now Wu Jianye can be so polite to himself, which makes him a little flattered.
No matter how much Comrade Lao Pu has achieved in the future, he is indeed just a small person now, a loser who was not even elected as deputy mayor!
Director Wu was polite. ā
The two of them are interested in making friends, Wu Jianye knows the future achievements of Comrade Lao Pu, and Comrade Lao Pu takes a fancy to the capital in Wu Jianye's hands, and the current city of St. Petersburg is in ruins, but if more capital can be introduced, it will be a very successful thing for him and for Sobchak.
"I am very optimistic about the prospects of Russia, where there are industrious and great people, outstanding scientists, and a world-class industrial system, although it seems difficult at the moment, it is just a sleeping lion for the time being." ā
"Thank you, I think so too, so Director Wu, do you have any suggestions. ā
Wu Jianye smiled: "You and I know that there is no legal basis for privatization in Russia at present, and if I invest, how can I ensure the safety of my property." ā
"Mr. Sobchak is a member of the Presidential Council, he is an authority on the Constitution, and I believe that he can guarantee the sanctity of your private property. ā
"You must know that the property that is now in the hands of certain people has been acquired or annexed through illegal means, and if this property is legalized one day in the future, then the future transformation and development of Russia into a state of the rule of law will become an almost impossible obstacle to the path of legal awareness of the citizens of this country. Wu Jianye didn't know Lao Pu's current state of mind, but history has proved that Lao Pu later made these economic oligarchs very miserable.
"Sir, I confess, it is the many insatiable people, this is a shame in the Russian perestroika, they are a bunch of hateful moths, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame of Russian history. ā
"Of course, it's not just the Russians who are doing this, there are many imperialists, Americans, British, French, Germans, who are trying to hollow out Russia. ā
Wu Jianye noticed that Lao Pu had clenched his fists, in fact, to put it bluntly, in the current political structure, most of them are pro-Western, and the person in front of him is still a frustrated person, with no money and no power, even if he is dissatisfied with the West, it will not help.
As for what Wu Jianye is doing now, it is actually no different from the behavior of Westerners, but everyone's position is different.
"But you know, in the interim, we're first supplementing the budget with the money we get from exporting oil and gas, but we're also trying to do everything we can to make tax discipline tighter." We have eliminated subsidies to loss-making enterprises and are trying to create conditions for the absorption of foreign investors and the promotion of the development of the individual sector of the economy by all possible means. Director Wu, compared to those greedy imperialist entrepreneurs, we need a legitimate entrepreneur like you, as far as I know, the money you have paid for the acquisition in Russia has exceeded the value of the enterprise itself, and I am deeply moved by your behavior. ā
"I was born in a poor family, and I can better understand what it feels like to be a poor person, so every time I buy a company, I will not put the workers of the enterprise in a dilemma, they will all have a variety of different placements, this is not the spirit of **, nor the spirit of socialism, but out of a person's instinctive conscience. Wu Jianye said very emotionally on the surface, but he wanted to roll his eyes at him in his heart, thinking that it wasn't because of you, could Lao Tzu be so honest!
In Russia, he has done a lot of bribery, but compared to many Western countries and Russian economic oligarchs, he at least gives a fair price to every company. And most importantly, before he emptied the factory, he properly resettled the workers inside, and most of the workers were doing demolition and transportation work for Huaxia.
Moreover, he recently spent $130 million to buy the Baltic Shipping Company, which caused a lot of discussion in Russia, because the shipping company was not worth the money at all. Some say that Yang Zhun is wronged, and some say that Yang Zhun is honest and kind, but there is no difference.
Lao Pudao, "Then please believe in our minds, an entrepreneur like you will definitely win our respect." ā
"If I'm going to invest, it's definitely not going to be a small amount, and I'm going to make sure that my investment doesn't disappear inexplicably, but I'm worried about the current situation in Russia. Li He sighed deliberately.
"Do you really want to invest?" Lao Pu, who had been relatively silent, couldn't sit still.
Wu Jianye nodded affirmatively, changed his sitting position, and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I promise, entrepreneurs like you will definitely receive fair treatment. ā
"You promise?"
"Iā" Lao Pu looked embarrassed, he was only the chairman of the liaison committee, what qualifications did he have.
Unbeknownst to him, Wu Jianye's next words made him fly from hell to heaven.
"My friend, you have won my friendship with your honesty, and I will invest half a billion dollars. ā
"Thank you, thank you. Lao Pu couldn't believe it, he excitedly shook Wu Jianye's hand and said, "Then I thank you on behalf of the people of St. Petersburg!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "No, I think you misunderstood, I have never known how to refuse my friend's request, since you promised me, of course this investment is aimed at you." This money will move with you, you will be in St. Petersburg for a day, this money will be in St. Petersburg for a day, and if you come to Moscow in the future, this money will naturally go to Moscow, do you understand?"
Lao Pu couldn't be more excited, "Thank you so much!"
He did not refuse, he naturally faced a personal financial dilemma, and the difference between the gap with other politicians was financial support, then with this financial support, he would be at a disadvantage.
Wu Jianye patted him on the shoulder, "Delta Bank and Standard Chartered Bank will be staunch supporters! ā
Abalkin is a well-known theorist of economic reform, a former corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and a former deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the former USSR and chairman of the Council of Ministers on State Economic Policy.
Yang Zhun will leave Russia with Wu Jianye sooner or later, and after Delta Bank is acquired by Standard Chartered Bank, there will definitely be local influential people to take up management positions.
Moreover, Yang Zhun's identity is also relatively special, and he is not suitable for a position in Delta Bank.
Therefore, after consulting Wu Jianye, Yan Wen hired Abarkin as the chief economist of Standard Chartered Bank and the general manager of the Russian branch of Standard Chartered Bank, and also served as the chairman of Delta Bank in Russia.
The arrangement is simply impeccable.
"Thank you. Lao Pu finally believed that there was such a thing as love at first sight in the world.
Wu Jianye personally sent him out of the door, but Comrade Lao Pu was still a little reluctant, he was afraid that the pie in the sky would not be reliable.
Wu Jianye had to repeatedly assure that our friendship was unbreakable, and this kind of friendship could not be exchanged for anything, it was higher than the mountain, deeper than the sea, and sweeter than honey.
When Comrade Lao Pu got into the car and walked away, when Wu Jianye and Yang Zhun and others returned to the room, Yang Zhun said curiously: "You are so optimistic about this person!"
Wu Jianye didn't explain much, just patted Yang Zhun on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Look at it, this person's future development is definitely beyond your imagination!"
Yang Zhun shook his head, saying that he couldn't understand it, to be honest, except for Wu Jianye, no one can really see what kind of existence this Comrade Lao Pu will become in the future.
In the following days, Wu Jianye stayed in the hotel, he was not interested in Moscow at this time, the main reason was that it was too chaotic outside, and he really didn't have much courage to go out and relax his mood.
Yesterday, Dai Zhen and others were still talking about being shot at a gun in the coffee shop opposite the hotel.
"This is almost the end of the matter, do you want to stay here, or go back to China?"
On this day, Wu Jianye asked Yang Zhun about his plans for the future, it is not long before the collapse of the Soviet Union, but this does not mean that the feast here is about to end, Russia will vigorously carry out privatization reforms, which is another feast.
If Yang Zhun doesn't want to stay here, then he still needs to find another spokesperson!
It is better for this spokesperson to be Russian, which can actually save a lot of trouble.
Yang Zhun said: "Go back, although I have a comfortable time here, I always don't feel as good as at home!"
Wu Jianye nodded, this answer, in fact, he had already thought of it, and said: "Okay, after you return to China, I will send someone to integrate the enterprises we are acquiring here now, set up a new consortium, and how about the equity distribution according to the current Beixian International Trade?"
Yang Zhun smiled happily: "Of course there is no problem, to be honest, I still earned it!"
Yang Zhun is naturally happy, although everything here now seems to be done by Yang Zhun himself, but almost all the financial support comes from Wu Jianye, especially the establishment of the new consortium, this kind of thing for Yang Zhun is almost a field that has never been involved, he is used to the rampaging mode here, and there must be a lot of deficiencies for the management of the right track.
Wu Jianye said: "Don't be happy too early, this consortium is now preliminarily expected to have automobile factories and instrument factories, as well as forging factories, machinery factories, cable factories, and tool factories that are joint ventures with many domestic enterprises and research institutes, as we progress in the acquisition here, the scale of the new group will also get bigger and bigger, and there may be at least 50 joint ventures alone, and the scale of these factories in the future will be at least billions of dollars, and what you have to think about now is whether you can serve as the CEO of this consortium!"
Yang Zhun couldn't help but be speechless, he didn't expect the scale of the new consortium to be so large, in his opinion, the acquisition here now has only cost hundreds of millions of dollars so far, can the newly formed consortium reach the scale that Wu Jianye said?
After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhun said helplessly: "Although I really want to say that I have no problem, but I know my own affairs, and I have no confidence in accepting such a big consortium all of a sudden!"
Wu Jianye smiled, these people around him told the truth, no matter what their ability was, but there was one thing that made Wu Jianye very satisfied, that is, he had a clear understanding of his own ability, and would never exaggerate in front of Wu Jianye.
"In this way, when the new consortium is established, I will let the talent reserve room of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group each set up 35 people to form a strategic planning room of the new consortium, and they will assist you, and at the same time, you would better be able to find a university like Zhou Tao and Yan Wen to enrich yourself, otherwise you will only be a decoration in the new consortium in the future!"
Yang Zhun nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I know all these things, and when the matter here is over, I will go to the United States to study!"
Then the two talked about who would stay in Russia, and finally Yang Zhun proposed a candidate to Wu Jianye, named Ushakov, who was the one who was sent to buy Dartz cars.
Within two days, Ushakov came back in a hurry, originally wanted to report directly to Yang Zhun, but was taken to Wu Jianye's room by Yang Zhun, after this period of getting along, Ushakov already knew that Wu Jianye was actually the big boss behind his boss.
Seeing that he was brought to meet the big boss, he was inevitably a little excited in his heart.
Wu Jianye was also looking at Ushakov, who was white and athletic, especially his height of more than 1.9 meters, which gave people a deterrent effect.
"Boss, Dartz has taken it!" Ushakov said excitedly.
"How much?" asked Yang Zhun beside him.
"20 million dollars!" Ushakov laughed.
Wu Jianye nodded, he was still quite satisfied with this price, and said with a smile what he had decided with Yang Zhun before!
