"In that case, then we will be friends from now on. I'm also a little tired today, and Mr. Sobchak must have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't leave you alone. I want to walk around St. Petersburg tomorrow, I wonder if I can ask Mr. Putin to be my guide?"

"Of course no problem, tomorrow I will arrange for Putin to come and pick you up. ”

Compared with Sobchak, Zheng Yan values Putin more, and Sobchak does not doubt him, and readily agrees to Zheng Yan's request.

"Zheng Yan, I haven't done anything yet, you gave him a million dollars, you know, this is a million, and it's dollars, and my life's salary doesn't add up to that much. ”

After Sobchak and Putin left, Liu Jun, who had been holding back all night, could no longer hold back.

"Big brother, don't worry, this money won't be spent in vain. Even if this matter is not used, other places can make up for it, so you can put your heart in your stomach. ”

Human greed knows no bounds, especially in Russia right now, where the situation is even more acute. Zheng Yan believes that with the one million given, Sobchak will want to get more, and as long as it does not endanger his own safety, he will definitely stand on his side.

Early the next morning, Putin really arrived as promised, with a completely businesslike attitude, and said: "Mr. Zheng, I don't know where you want to go?"

"I've admired the Hermitage Museum for a long time, I wonder if it's convenient to visit it?"

The Hermitage Museum is located on the Palace Square in St. Petersburg, including the former Tsarist Palace of the Russian Empire - the Winter Palace, including the six palace complexes, and is known as the world's four major museums together with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

said that he had admired him for a long time, but he was purely talking nonsense, Zheng Yan just wanted a chance to be alone with Putin, and as for where to visit, Zheng Yan didn't care at all. Putin, on the other hand, his task is to be a guide for Zheng Yan, as long as it is not a confidential place, he will not refuse.

The Hermitage Museum was originally the private museum of Empress Catherine II, and the museum has an innumerable collection, including thousands of Chinese artifacts and works of art alone. More than 200 oracle bone inscriptions from the Yin Shang period, rare silks and embroidery from the first century AD, samples of sculptures and murals from the Thousand Buddha Caves in Dunhuang, as well as porcelain, enamel, lacquerware, landscapes and ladies from China.

"What a shame, this should have been in our national museum, but it ended up being lost abroad. ”

Zheng Yan was purely admiring the visit, but Liu Jun gritted his teeth when he saw it, eager to snatch the things back directly. However, Zheng Yan also knew that Liu Jun was complaining at most, and it was impossible to make any irrational moves.

It's just that Zheng Yan really couldn't stand Liu Jun's resentful expression, so he deliberately quickened his pace and walked ahead with Putin, "Mr. Putin, I guess Mr. Sobchak should have told you about my intention, right?

Due to the current economic situation in Russia, there is no one in the museum at all, and Zheng Yan deliberately went to a place with few people, and he was not afraid that the conversation between the two would be listened to by others.

"Mr. Zheng, these things are not for me to worry about, so I think my opinion should not be so important, are you right?"

Regarding Zheng Yan's intention, Sobchak did not hide it from Putin, but Putin did not understand why he came to Russia. At present, the Varyag aircraft carrier belongs to Ukraine, and it is said that Zheng Yan should go to Ukraine, but Zheng Yan came to Russia.

"Mr. Putin does not need to be presumptuous, Mr. Sobchak is your teacher, his reliance on you is well known to the world, and in my opinion, your future development will far exceed that of your teacher. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if possible, I would like to be friends with you even more. ”

Putin was born in the KGB, whether in Russia or other countries, people like him are usually not popular, so when he heard Zheng Yan's obviously goodwill words, Putin did not react for a while.

Mr. Zheng said with a smile, I am only my teacher's assistant now, and in the future, it will be difficult to reach the same height as my teacher. However, no matter where I am located, I will not allow anyone to harm the interests of our country. ”

As a doctor of economics, Putin has already seen some of the shortcomings that exist in Russia at present, but he is powerless to change this situation due to various factors. At the same time, he was also worried that Zheng Yan would make waves in Russia, so his tone of voice was not friendly.

Although Putin's words were not friendly, and even had some threatening implications, Zheng Yan didn't care, "Mr. Putin, you can rest assured, I will not do anything unfavorable to Russia." Maybe I will be able to do something for your country when I come to Russia this time. ”

Zheng Yan didn't care when he saw Putin's disbelief, and continued: "What do you think of Russia's economy now? Can the reforms you are carrying out change Russia's predicament?"

"These are things that didn't happen, and who can predict the outcome in advance?"

When Putin said this, his tone was a little low, and he was obviously not optimistic about the current reform, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this reform method was too radical. In the long run, at least in the short term, it will deal a big blow to the Russian economy, and it will take at least ten years, or even decades, for this blow to recover.

"Mr. Putin, you obviously have a lot of ambitions, don't you want to have a platform to show it, even if it's not for yourself, just for your country. ”

"I don't dare to talk about other areas, but when it comes to the economy, I think I have some say. I started my business when I went to college in '87, when I only had 50,000 Chinese coins, and so far, in just five years, it has multiplied millions of times. ”

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about the way Russia is reforming now. We have a saying in China called "Survival with a broken tail", which is somewhat similar to the ongoing reforms in Russia, except that Russia may not be able to afford this kind of loss. ”

Zheng Yan knows very well that if a person like Putin wants to persuade him, he must first get his approval, and Zheng Yan's best move is the ability to make money, although this is to make money cheaply, but who knows? At least Putin can't know.

When Putin heard Zheng Yan's words, although he wanted to refute it, he couldn't find an excuse to refute it. He has already checked Zheng Yan to the bottom, at least he thinks so, but what has been found can prove that Zheng Yan is not talking big.
