Chapter 361: To Russia
In terms of the fate of the Soviet Union, the wheel of history did not change because of Zheng Yan's participation, and on December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union still collapsed. However, all this has nothing to do with Zheng Yan, and on the issue of the Soviet Union, Liu Lao and others never asked Zheng Yan's opinion again.
Zheng Yan also consciously downplayed his existence, since the independence of Ukraine in August, Zheng Yan almost cut off all contact with the outside world, just stayed in the capital, and even went to Hong Kong City very limited, until the collapse of the Soviet Union more than half a year later, Zheng Yan stepped out of the country for the first time.
Thinking about the goal this time, even Zheng Yan himself was a little excited. Now Zheng Yan has too much money in his hands, whether it is a private jet, a private island, a private yacht, or a villa or manor, it is no longer attractive to Zheng Yan, so Zheng Yan aimed at the Ukrainian aircraft carrier Varyag.
At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Varyag aircraft carrier had been divided into Ukrainian property, but it was still in Russia's naval combat formation, and the two countries are currently engaged in a series of negotiations over its final ownership.
At present, 32 percent of the construction work of the Varyag aircraft carrier has not been completed, and if you want to complete the remaining construction work, you need to invest at least 200 million US dollars.
Russia also wants to get this soon-to-be-finished war beast, but it's a pity that Ukraine has put forward a sky-high price. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia received most of Russia's possessions and territories, likewise taking on all its debts. Coupled with the repeated depreciation of the ruble, Russia's economy is in constant recession, and the current Russian economy has reached the worst moment in history, and it simply cannot afford the price proposed by Ukraine.
The most important thing is that the Varyag aircraft carrier is not a must-win for Russia, and for Russia, the most important thing at the moment is to develop the economy and change the situation of continuous economic recession, which makes Zheng Yan, who has a lot of money in his hands, see hope.
"Zheng Yan, can you tell me about the purpose of this time?"
This time, Zheng Yan's target was Russia, and in addition to Wang Zhen and Chen Dashan, there was also Liu Jun. Before Zheng Yan left China, he went to see Liu Lao once, and that conversation was also hidden from Liu Jun, even if he had already boarded the plane, Liu Jun still didn't know why he had this trip.
"Actually, it's nothing, this time it's mainly for..."
Zheng Yan never thought of hiding it from Liu Jun, and he couldn't hide it, but when he talked to Liu Lao at the beginning, Liu Lao thought that the matter was very important, and there were many problems that could not be put on the table, so he deliberately avoided Liu Jun.
"Zheng Yan, are you sure you're not joking? How could this kind of thing succeed, I wouldn't have followed you if I knew it. ”
Although Liu Lao and others agreed with Zheng Yan's plan, Liu Jun felt that this idea was a little unrealistic, and it could even be said that there was no possibility of realizing it at all.
"Big brother, if we can't do anything, do you think grandpa and uncle will let us come out? Don't worry, even if this plan fails, there will be no loss for us, just travel abroad." ”
For this trip, Zheng Yan had great hopes, so he specially met with Liu Lao and Liu Jiangong, and wasted a lot of effort to get Liu Jun out. Zheng Yan is only responsible for the preliminary negotiation and funding, and if it succeeds, Liu Jun will take over the future work.
After careful consideration, Liu Lao and the upper echelons went through a series of discussions before finally agreeing to Zheng Yan's idea. Although they also felt that success was unlikely, the temptation of the Varyag aircraft carrier was too great.
"Brother Jun, don't worry, if Zheng Yan doesn't have a certain certainty, he can't arrange this trip at all. It's meant to be an attempt, and it's best if it succeeds, and nothing will be lost if it doesn't succeed. ”
"That's right, we just need to follow Zheng Yan, and we will do what he tells us to do. He has a lot of ideas, so we don't have to worry about it. ”
Originally, Wang Zhen and Chen Dashan still called Liu Jun the chief, but the two had already left the army, and for the convenience of this trip, Zheng Yan asked the two to change their words, although there was some meaning of covering their ears and stealing the bell, but Zheng Yan didn't care at all. Some levels of trading are themselves well known.
Compared with Liu Jun, Wang Zhen and Chen Dashan know more about Zheng Yan, especially Wang Zhen, whether in Hong Kong City, in the United States, or even Finland, he has always followed Zheng Yan and has never seen Zheng Yan fail. Although Zheng Yan's idea this time was a little whimsical, he still felt that there was hope for success.
"But..."
"Big brother, don't do it, this time you should come out without your mouth, just be responsible for listening. If things go well, you might have a gold star on your shoulder. ”
Although Zheng Yan is the leader of the matter, he is not a person in the system, and he can't get any actual benefits, so Liu Jun is different. As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the reason why Zheng Yan asked Liu Jun to go with him was because of this idea.
Liu Jun couldn't help but feel hot when he heard Zheng Yan's words, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, Liu Jun is undoubtedly a good soldier, not keen on power, but a pursuit, eager to be recognized. But thinking about the goal this time, most of the fire that had just ignited in my heart was extinguished.
"Let's hurry up and get dressed, we'll be there soon, this is not the capital of China." ”
The first stop of Zheng Yan's trip was St. Petersburg, which is located between 59 ° ~ 60 ° north latitude, and the average temperature of the whole year is only about five degrees, and the summer is mild, but the average temperature of the hottest month of July is only a dozen degrees.
After all, this trip was unofficial, so Zheng Yan contacted Russia's International Relations Committee in the name of Yanhuang Investment, and the reason why he did so was because the chairman of the International Relations Committee at this time was none other than Putin, the incomparably powerful president of later generations.
Speaking of Putin, he is now just a small person in St. Petersburg, in charge of foreign economic affairs, but it will not be long before he will become the supreme leader of Russia, and he is likely to be the most successful leader of Russia, and Zheng Yan also wants to take this opportunity to get acquainted.
"Please sit down, fasten your seatbelts, the plane is about to land. ”
Hearing the voice on the radio, Zheng Yan couldn't help but get excited.
