"Hello Mr. Zheng, I am Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, welcome to St. Petersburg. I know my name is not easy to remember, you can call me Putin. ”

Zheng Yan is not an ordinary person after all, in terms of fame, he is not weaker than a country's leader in some fields, and as soon as the group got off the plane, Putin greeted him with his staff.

"Hello Mr. Putin, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Putin is wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt, looking capable and decisive, and he can see some shadows of later generations, but he is not so strong, and he does not have the momentum of a super superior. Despite this, Zheng Yan's gaze at Putin was still a little eager, and he even forgot to withdraw his hand, which surprised Putin, and Liu Jun and the others were also quite puzzled.

Putin seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Zheng Yan's behavior, and hurriedly said to Zheng Yan: "If you don't mind, the hotel has been arranged, you can go to the hotel to rest first." ”

"Okay, I'm just a little tired. ”

Zheng Yan also found that his behavior was a little inappropriate, and quickly withdrew his hand.

St. Petersburg is known as the "northern capital" of Russia and the second largest city in Russia, but walking on the streets of the city by car, there are pedestrians looking in a hurry everywhere, and there is no prosperous scene at all, only depression and dilapidation, which makes Zheng Yan's confidence in this trip much stronger.

"Mr. Zheng, our mayor, Mr. Sobchak, wants to meet with you, I wonder if you have time?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it. I hope this is a private meeting, though, and not let too many people know. ”

Anatoly Aleksandrovich Sobchak, as the first mayor of St. Petersburg and a member of the National Assembly, had a close relationship with Yeltsin, and I believe that with his help, the trip will go much smoother.

After all, Putin is an agent, and he has long known that Zheng Yan's purpose this time will not be simple, and the words just now affirmed the thoughts in his heart. However, for him now, there are many things that he should not worry about, and after agreeing to Zheng Yan, he left the hotel.

"Zheng Yan, do you know that person just now? Why do I think you look a little strange at that person?"

After Putin left, Liu Jun couldn't help but think of Zheng Yan's performance at the airport. He has known Zheng Yan for a long time, and he has never seen Zheng Yan show that kind of expression, just like seeing a treasure.

"How is it possible, I also came to Russia for the first time, and before that, I didn't know a single Russian. Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's take a break, the person we are going to see in the evening is very important for our next things, and we can't be sloppy. Zheng Yan said casually.

Liu Jun knew that things were not as simple as Zheng Yan said, but since Zheng Yan didn't want to say it, he couldn't help it, so he went directly to his room to rest.

After Liu Jun left, Zheng Yan did not rest. Others didn't have much hope for Zheng Yan's trip this time, but Zheng Yan was determined to succeed, so he needed to think about meeting at night.

Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak, as the first mayor of St. Petersburg, could not have sat in this position, not to mention his ability, at least his relations with Yeltsin. In addition, Sobchak is also Putin's teacher, and it doesn't hurt to be good friends with him if you think about it in the long run.

It's just that Zheng Yan has his own worries, Sobchak's term of office is only one term, and he will be imprisoned in the next election, but he eventually fled overseas, and when he returned to Russia again, he died of illness not long after.

Sobchak lost the election because his rivals accused him of taking bribes and abusing public office, and although it is not clear what the truth is, the flies do not bite the eggs, and the man himself must not be clean, and it should not be difficult to buy him.

Zheng Yan lay on the bed, thinking about it and having no clue, he fell asleep unconsciously, and it was not until about seven o'clock in the evening that Sobchak and Putin came to the hotel and were called out by Wang Zhen.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak, and I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to breakfast. ”

Zheng Yan meant that he didn't want too many people to know about the two-sided meeting, but Sobchak turned out to be more straightforward than Zheng Yan thought, and only Putin was left alone. It can be seen that he, like Zheng Yan, also has some things to talk about with Zheng Yan that he doesn't want people to know, which makes Zheng Yan more confident.

"It's a great honour, but I've been coveting caviar from your country for a long time, and I hope to taste authentic caviar today. ”

This time the matter is very important, it is impossible to mention it at the wine table, Zheng Yan knows this very well, but eating together is undoubtedly the best way to close the distance.

Under the leadership of the service staff, the group came directly to the restaurant, and Sobchak, as the host, ordered a large table of dishes very skillfully. Seeing the other party's posture of ordering, he was obviously used to this kind of life of big fish and meat, and those who were poor and hungry in the outside world could not affect him at all, which made Zheng Yan more confident.

"Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, you are the most successful investor on Wall Street in the United States, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really found it hard to believe that you are so young. But I'm curious, most of your investments are in the United States, and it's in the Internet industry, are you going to invest in our country this time?"

As early as when Zheng Yan contacted the Russian Council on International Relations, Sobchak asked Putin to investigate Zheng Yan, and Sobchak didn't know anything about Zheng Yan, but at least those assets on the surface were very clear.

As Sobchak said, he was really surprised at the beginning. Everyone who has the ability wants to get acquainted, not to mention Zheng Yan, a young man whose ability can be called against the sky, and it is precisely because of this that he asked Putin to arrange this meeting.

"Mr. Sobchak, you are right, my current investment is basically concentrated in the United States, but this does not mean that I will put all my investment in the United States, this is only temporary. I am a businessman, and if there is a suitable investment opportunity, I will not let it go, whether it is in the United States or Russia. ”

"I do have the intention of investigating this time, but there are other considerations, and I think we can eat first. I've also brought some wine from my own estate this time, and if you don't mind, you can come to my room for a drink or two after a while. ”

Sobchak understood that he would soon know Zheng Yan's purpose, so he no longer insisted on it, and chatted with Zheng Yan.
