Chapter 370: Yeltsin II

"In addition, there is more than one country that does not want China to get the Varyag at the moment, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not get in the way, which will also add a lot of uncertainty to the transportation process. In other words, no one knows for sure when the deal will be completed. ”

"Putting that aside, it takes time to just convince Congress. And according to you, when the Varyag arrives in China, you will provide Russia with an interest-free loan of one billion dollars, which, in my opinion, is a flashy promise. ”

"Now that you know the economic situation in Russia, you should know that now is the moment when we need the money the most, and if this deal drags on for a few years, I am afraid it is difficult to say how useful the billion dollars you promised will be. ”

The reason why Yeltsin unswervingly pursued "shock therapy" to complete Russia's privatization reform was that many Americans were obstructed. The United States had promised to bail out Russia financially as long as it insisted on privatizing capitalist reforms.

It was precisely because of the commitment of the Americans that Yeltsin considered himself full of confidence and ignored some of the problems that emerged in the early days of perestroika. But now that the Russian economy is already overwhelmed, and the United States has promised not even a penny in aid, Yeltsin is also a little anxious.

"I have already thought about these problems, as long as Russia buys the Varyag, naturally it cannot continue to stop at the Black Sea shipyard in Nikolaev, Ukraine, and you can use the relocation to the port of Vladivostok as an excuse to sail the Varyag out of the Black Sea, which can avoid a lot of trouble. ”

"In this process, the Varyag will inevitably pass through China, and then the deal will be completed logically. If you negotiate fast enough, the deal could be completed within a year. ”

"In addition, if my guess is correct, although the price given by Ukraine is high, it should be similar to the price of the Varyag's construction, that is, the cost of buying the Varyag will not exceed 800 million dollars at most. In this process, no matter how much Russia spends, I am willing to buy the Varyag for 800 million dollars. ”

"In this way, Russia can also get a lot of benefits in this deal. As for the interest-free loan I promised, it may not necessarily wait for the delivery of the Varyag, which is still negotiable. Of course, there is a premise for all of this, and that is that the deal can go through. ”

"I also know that at present, Russia is also attracting investment, and the results are very unsatisfactory. I'm not interested in anything else, but all kinds of natural resources are not included. As soon as the transaction starts, I will arrange for someone to visit and invest in Russia. ”

"You can also rest assured that although I want to make money, I will not take advantage of the fire, such as oil and gas investment, I will definitely give a reasonable price. In this way, it will not only increase Russia's income, but also help you solve some of the employment problems. ”

"Of course, I also know that this kind of issue cannot be decided in a few words, I have given my sincerity, you can also consider it, see what else you want, as long as the request is reasonable, I believe I will not refuse. ”

Russia will have a large number of high-quality assets for auction in the future, and as long as Zheng Yan is willing, he can use this to obtain dozens and hundreds of times the profit. It's just that now that he has just tied up with Putin, and thinking about Putin's attitude towards those financial oligarchs who embezzle Russian assets after he came to power, Zheng Yan still gave up this tempting idea.

For Yeltsin, there are two most important things at the moment, one is to stabilize the domestic economy to ensure that his position is not affected: and the second is to obtain sufficient benefits during his presidential term, which is purely selfish.

Although Zheng Yan's conditions could not fundamentally solve the problem, they could also solve the urgent need, and Yeltsin, after weighing the gains and losses, said: "I need to think about it, and you also know that this kind of thing is not something that I can decide alone." ”

As soon as Zheng Yan heard this, he knew that this matter was basically done, "Mr. President, I will still return to China tomorrow, but the person who came with me today will stay in Moscow, and if there is anything to discuss with him, he can represent me with full authority." ”

Since the goal was achieved, Zheng Yan did not stay long, and left the presidential palace directly, as for the document, Zheng Yan deliberately stayed.

After coming out of the presidential palace, Grachev sent Zheng Yan and Liu Jun back to the hotel, and as for the content of the conversation between Zheng Yan and Yeltsin, Zheng Yan did not say, and Grachev did not ask.

"Zheng Yan, how did you talk to Yeltsin?"

As soon as the two returned to the room, Liu Jun couldn't help it, and Wang Zhen and Chen Dashan, who were waiting in the room, also stared at Zheng Yan with burning eyes.

On the way back, because Grachev was there, Zheng Yan had been holding back, and only his own people were left at this time, Zheng Yan was also a little excited, and said: "The bait was scattered, and Yeltsin also ate it, but what the final result will be, it depends on Yeltsin's ability." ”

"Really, great! We don't have to go home tomorrow, and we just go home on the Varyag aircraft carrier. Liu Jun said excitedly, as if the Varyag aircraft carrier had already arrived.

"Big brother, don't be in a hurry to be happy, I still have to go back to China tomorrow, but you have to stay. This time the matter is not trivial, and someone must stay to facilitate communication. ”

"Even if the Russian government agrees, it will definitely put forward many conditions, which need to be negotiated between you and the country. In addition, if it is some economic conditions, you must also inform me in time, you must know that the money this time is all from me. ”

"Another thing you have to remember is that if the other party makes any conditions in the past two days, you should not easily agree. After returning to China, I will immediately go to see my grandfather and uncle, presumably they will send someone to assist you, you just need to drag someone to China. As for whether you want to return to China after that, it's up to you to do so. ”

Zheng Yan was originally a voluntary labor this time, and if he was allowed to stay in Russia for a year and a half, he would have to drive him crazy, so Zheng Yan naturally would not stay. In addition, the reason why he took Liu Jun this time was to help him fight for merit, of course, he couldn't return to China easily.

"What country am I going back to, even if I want to go back, it is not now, I must return home on the Varyag. ”

Zheng Yan took Liu Jun to share the credit, but Liu Jun didn't care at all, in his opinion, as long as he could bring the Varyag aircraft carrier back to China intact, he was willing to give him a punishment.
