Chapter 371: Altercation
After a long flight of more than ten hours, Zheng Yan and his entourage finally returned to the capital safely. Zheng Yan wanted to go home and rest for the night, but as soon as he came out of the airport, he was taken to Liu Lao's residence by Liu Jiangong's secretary.
"Xiaoyan, it's done?"
After seeing Zheng Yan, Liu Lao found that Liu Jun did not return together, so he guessed the reason.
"Almost, this time we went to St. Petersburg first..."
Zheng Yan's original plan did not conceal Liu Lao and Liu Jiangong, and Liu Lao and Liu Lao also helped to check and fill in the gaps, so Zheng Yan did not hide it and told everything that happened this time truthfully.
After listening to Zheng Yan's story, Liu Lao and Liu Jiangong were also very excited. Aircraft carriers may not have the opportunity to be used on the battlefield, but they represent a country's national defense strength, and this symbolic meaning is far greater than its use value.
In addition, when the Soviet Union built the Varyag aircraft carrier, it contained almost all the advanced military technologies of the Soviet Union, and the value of these technologies cannot be measured in money. Compared with the batch of arms purchased by Wang Zhen at the beginning, the scientific research value of the Varyag is even more incalculable.
However, the two of them quickly calmed down, Zheng Yan just made a good start this time, and the next negotiations are the top priority. In their view, such a major decision that has a bearing on national interests, and the gains and losses of personal interests cannot play a decisive role.
"Xiaoyan, how determined do you think Yeltsin is? Driven by interests, Yeltsin may find a way to facilitate this deal, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no objections, and once the resistance is too great, the result will be difficult to say. ”
"Uncle, I don't think this problem is very big. There is a saying that "the so-called loyalty is only because there are not enough chips for betrayal", which is suitable for today's Russia. Yeltsin will certainly do everything he can to push for the completion of this deal, but he will not stick to the terms we have set and will make more demands. ”
"I didn't meet him for long, but I could see that this man was far more greedy for power than anyone else. As you said, there will certainly be some opposition in Russia, but this is also an opportunity for Yeltsin to clear the way. ”
At present, Yeltsin seems to be in power, but there is a rift in his iron triangle relationship with Hasbutorav and Rudskoi, because Yeltsin's power is too great, and the two want to limit it. ”
"And Yeltsin wants to build Russia into a presidential centralized state, I am afraid that it will not be long before the contradictions between the three will be laid out on the surface. This deal may be an opportunity for Yeltsin to break the game, and I am sure he will seize it. ”
In order to establish his position, Yeltsin could do something to "bombard the White House", which shows the degree of Yeltsin's madness. In contrast, the political game of obtaining economic aid through the Varyag has become very modest.
Of course, the reason why Zheng Yan said so firmly was entirely based on his understanding of historical development in his previous life, not just because of a meeting, as he said, he had a general understanding and judgment of Yeltsin.
"Xiaoyan, are you still going to go to Russia next? This time the plan was originally led by you, if you can participate in the next negotiations, I think things will go much smoother. ”
If it is said that before Zheng Yan went to Russia, Liu Lao and the others just had the mentality of trying, but now, they have regarded the Varyag as a Chinese thing, and naturally they don't want any accidents.
"I'm not going, not only won't I go, but I'm not going to ask about anything related to it in the future. This transaction seems to be secret, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as you have a heart, you can always find some clues. ”
"There are not one or two countries that don't want to see the rise of China now, and most of my assets are overseas, so I don't want to be targeted by others. Including the funds needed this time, I am not prepared to take them out from me. ”
"My assets and funds are closely related to Yanhuang Investment, and once used, it is easy for people to notice. I think so, this time the funds will be shared by Tang Hao and a few of them, and I will use some shares to compensate in the future, I have already discussed with them. Although this is a bit of a cover-up, it is better than doing nothing. ”
Zheng Yan has already thought carefully that the United States definitely does not want Huaxia to acquire the Varyag aircraft carrier, and once this matter is successful, even if it is not on the surface, the US government will target Zheng Yan in some aspects, at least there is such a possibility.
In addition, the reason why the Russian economy collapsed so quickly is that there is the shadow of the United States behind it, and one billion dollars does not seem to be much, but in the current Russia, it is an astronomical amount, and no one dares to guarantee what impact it will have on the Russian economy.
Considering these two aspects, if Zheng Yan's role in this transaction is exposed, I am afraid that it will inevitably be targeted by the US government, and Zheng Yan cannot afford the risks.
"Since you've decided, then we're not going to force it. However, you have done so much for the country, so naturally I can't treat you badly. Let's talk about it, if you have any requirements yourself, if it's not too much, we can all agree. ”
Liu Lao looked at Zheng Yan, a grandson with a foreign surname, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, regardless of ability or character, he was the best choice.
Hearing Liu Lao's words, Zheng Yan was stunned at first, he didn't have any selfish motives in doing this, so he didn't think about getting anything in return. Then his eyes lit up again, and he said, "Grandpa, you also know that I am not short of money, so I don't need to compensate or anything." If so, can you get me a few more marriage certificates?"
Li Yanran, Lisa and Sally Kraucek have always been Zheng Yan's heart, and they always feel sorry for the three of them, and since they have the opportunity, Zheng Yan will naturally not let it go.
After hearing Zheng Yan's request, Liu Lao and Liu Jiangong's faces instantly fell, "What do you kid think, do you think that the laws of the country are not set up? It's not bad that you are not held accountable for this matter, you still want to make inches of progress? Don't think about this matter, there is no need to discuss!"
Liu Lao didn't like the lustful voice of capitalism, and hated the decay of the feudal system even more, so he hated the matter of three wives and four concubines. If it weren't for Zheng Yan's good performance in other aspects, Liu Lao would have troubled him a long time ago.
Zheng Yan didn't expect to succeed, but seeing that Liu Lao was angry, he hurriedly left Liu Lao's courtyard in a gloomy manner.
