Just as Zheng Yan guessed, Grachev had already asked Yeltsin's opinion before coming to see Zheng Yan and asked him to improvise.

Because of the tone in which Zheng Yan began to speak, Grachev was still a little dissatisfied with him, but after seeing the farm information, those dissatisfaction had disappeared. When Zheng Yan said that he had said something else after the fact, Grachev was already full of affection for Zheng Yan.

"Mr. Zheng, you should know that although I am the Minister of Defense, compared with Mr. President, my time is relatively free, and it is more convenient for me to come here to meet you. If you want to meet with the president, you'll probably have to make your own trip. ”

Zheng Yan saw that there was a door to the matter, so he didn't care whether Yeltsin came to see him or went to see Yeltsin himself, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, as long as it is convenient for the president, I can go to see him at any time, but I don't know when the president will have time." ”

"You must know something about me, although you are not as resourceful as your president, but you are not an idler. Now that the plate is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more assets, and there are more and more things that I need to deal with, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Russia for long. ”

Fortunately, Liu Jun has received special training, so he couldn't bear to laugh, but twitched the corners of his mouth. Zheng Yan's plate is indeed not small, and his assets are even more amazing, but if he wants to say that he is busy, it is purely a ghost who burns the grave and reports it. In the past year or so, Zheng Yan has not done anything serious except for accompanying his wife and children.

However, Grachev knew nothing about this, and in his cognition, Zheng Yan should be like him. In addition, he received a gift from Zheng Yan, and maybe there will be one in the future, and he knows how to consider Zheng Yan.

"Mr. Zheng, if it is convenient, I can take you to meet the president now, and you can discuss anything with the president in detail. In addition, I can guarantee that I will be on your side when necessary for what you ask for. ”

As soon as Zheng Yan heard this, he immediately agreed, and at the same time he regretted it a little in his heart, if he had known that forcing it would be so effective, he wouldn't have to wait for so many days like a fool.

Seeing that Zheng Yan agreed, Grachev no longer hesitated, and directly took Zheng Yan and Liu Jun to the presidential palace in the Kremlin. Although the Kremlin is one of the largest complexes in the world, a treasure trove of historical, cultural, and artistic monuments, Zheng Yan has no intention of visiting it.

Grachev is worthy of being Yeltsin's henchman, even if he brought two outsiders, Zheng Yan and Liu Jun, he was not hindered too much, just conducted a simple investigation, and went directly to the presidential palace. Then after the ceremony, Zheng Yan finally met the final boss, but Grachev was very interested in not following.

"Mr. Zheng, welcome to Russia. ”

Yeltsin also struggled for a long time about whether to meet Zheng Yan and how to meet him. As a result of Yeltsin's economic policy of "shock therapy", after the tests of these months, it has been proven that this method is not suitable for the current Russia.

In the first three months of price liberalization, it seems that the results were immediate, and the results were obvious. The long lines of shopping on the streets of Russia are gone, the shelves are full of goods, and the Russians, who are accustomed to long queues with ticket supplies, seem to see the benefits of the reforms.

However, this situation did not last long, and prices soared like a kite with a broken string, and by April the prices of consumer goods had risen 65 times compared to the end of last year, and there was a trend of further increases.

In addition, fiscal and monetary policies have also been unsuccessful, with excessive taxation leading to a further malaise in Russian businesses, rising unemployment, and increased government relief subsidies and corporate investment, further widening the fiscal deficit.

At the same time, the decision to introduce foreign capital has not been effective, because the Russian economy has deteriorated further, most foreign companies are reluctant to invest in Russia, and the total amount of foreign investment absorbed is only hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really a drop in the bucket for the whole of Russia.

In this extremely unfavorable situation, Yeltsin thought of Zheng Yan. He was very clear about the purpose of Zheng Yan's visit to Russia, and at the same time, Yeltsin was even more aware of Zheng Yan's economic strength. Therefore, Yeltsin wanted to relieve his pressure through Zheng Yan.

The reason why he kept dragging on and missing Zheng Yan was that Yeltsin just wanted to gain an advantage in the next negotiations, but the sudden news that Zheng Yan was ready to leave Russia made him unable to sit still. This is also because Yeltsin did not understand Zheng Yan, and only regarded Zheng Yan as a simple businessman, not a patriot.

"Thank you very much, Mr. President, for giving me the opportunity to meet. However, I'm not an official, I'm just a businessman, I'm not used to this kind of too formal way of meeting, I brought a few bottles of red wine from my estate, I don't know if we can have a drink together?"

Compared with Grachev, Yeltsin was much more cautious, and there were not only his secretaries on the scene, but also several guards. Zheng Yan can be sure that the people at the scene are Yeltsin's henchmen, but this has nothing to do with Zheng Yan, and Zheng Yan does not want anyone to hear the content of the next conversation.

In fact, not only Zheng Yan, Yeltsin also had the same idea, "No problem, next door is my lounge, sometimes it is also used to entertain friends, and no one will disturb you." ”

Seeing Yeltsin's promise, Zheng Yan did not hesitate, and in order to dispel the other party's vigilance, this time he didn't even bring Liu Jun, took the briefcase from Liu Jun's hand, and then went to the lounge with Yeltsin.

Although both men knew that the purpose of this meeting was not to drink, Yeltsin took the initiative to open a bottle of red wine, but from his own collection.

Zheng Yan took the wine glass and took a sip, but did not rush to speak. Unlike Grachev and Sobchak, Yeltsin was greedy, but his thirst for power was even stronger, and he could not buy them blindly. If it is only promised economic benefits, I am afraid it will not impress him.

Yeltsin is the same, he only knows Zheng Yan's purpose, but he doesn't know Zheng Yan's specific plan, and he is also planning in his heart, how to maximize his own interests. In this way, the two of them had their own ghosts, and the lounge fell into calm for a while.

When it comes to the kung fu of cultivating qi, how can Zheng Yan be comparable to Yeltsin, the old fox, in the end, he couldn't hold his breath and said: "Mr. President, you must have understood my intention this time, right? I don't know what you think?"

Hearing Zheng Yan take the initiative to speak, Yeltsin also breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Yan did ask him, why wasn't he?
