"Segail...... Deputy mayor, long time no see. ”

Li Yadong entertained the rising political star in a box next to the cafeteria, which is not often used.

People often say that "evil will be rewarded with evil" and "those who bend the law for bribes will be punished by the law", but no one seems to have thought about how the evil in this world came about, and who made the laws in this world?

The so-called "secular precepts" and "warnings" are, in the final analysis, just a tool used to imprison the minds of ordinary people.

No one who really plays with power takes them seriously.

There is no place in this world that can be more chaotic than the political arena.

Those who follow the rules are often depressed and unwilling, and those who can really rise to the top are like the bad old man in front of him who even has a hypocrisy in his smile.

Moscow, as the capital of Russia, has come to this point, and Segail has already entered the center of the country.

The reason why the meeting was chosen in this place is that it happened to be lunchtime, and the second is that it ......

"Come, Deputy Mayor Sergeil, try this Australian steak that has just gotten off the plane, and this bottle of '82 Lafite that I have treasured for a while and specially used to entertain distinguished guests......"

"Good, good. ”

Segail's eyes were about to smile crooked, how could he have tasted such food and wine without coming here?

The mashed potatoes in the municipal cafeteria, he wanted to swallow when he saw it now.

In the past, it was understandable that there were few vegetables, but now I can't even afford meat.

This country is really poor and white.

A sip of tender steak and a sip of sweet red wine is indescribable.

"Boss Li, your life here is really comparable to heaven. ”

"Deputy Mayor Segail said with a smile, we small businessmen can't be compared with you politicians, and it's a little bit of money, and the rest is not worth it. Li Yadong laughed.

As he spoke, he handed a bank check that had been prepared a long time ago to Sergeil, "I see that the government's economy is relatively tight now, although the deadline has not yet arrived, but let's give it first." ”

A cash check for a full fifty million rubles, the cost of the purchase at Kuz airport.

A few months ago, it was still quite valuable, but now ......

It's probably the price of a cart of potatoes.

Damn potatoes!

Segail looked at the long list of zeros on the check, and only felt that the root of his tongue was bitter, but he did not reach for it.

He sneered and said, "Boss Li's eyes are like a torch, I'm afraid that I can already see that the ruble will depreciate sharply, right?"

"This Deputy Mayor Segail is wrong to blame, if you really want to see, I gave you more credit at that time. Li Yadong said seriously: "It was only because I had just come to your country at that time, and due to the national conditions of your country, the cash reserves were very limited, so I made this decision, and Deputy Mayor Sergeil must not think crookedly." ”

Segail smiled bitterly, believing that he had a ghost, but he didn't break it.

Besides, what about the point break?

Take Kuz Airport back and put it there as a decoration?

He came here this time to ask for something.

"This money...... Boss Li should take it back. ”

"Oh?" Li Yadong was amused.

What's the situation, don't even give money?

Although I can only buy potatoes for a car, I can finally fill my stomach.

He had heard that the Russian government could not even pay the financial salaries now.

"I'll tell you the truth, Boss Li, I'm not here for this matter, but for some other things, and I want to ask you for help. ”

He didn't say that Li Yadong could guess what was going on, the Soviet Union had just collapsed, although the society had been fully opened, but the public security environment was very bad, and the deadly businessmen would not come here at this time, which also caused the shortage of materials to be greater than any previous period.

If you don't brag, even the privileged class may not be able to eat and drink well at every meal.

What's the use of having money?

No one sells you anything at all.

You can't eat money, can you?

And let those expensive privileged classes gnaw white bread all day long, can they stand it?

"Deputy Mayor Sergeil, we are also old friends, we don't have to see each other like this, just say what you have to say. Li Yadong said with a smile.

"Good, good. Segail was overjoyed, thinking that this big capitalist had not made friends in vain, and he still remembered some old feelings, and said with a smile, "We need a batch of materials, which are the high-quality materials you provided before." ”

"How much?" asked Li Yadong with a light smile.

"The more the merrier. ”

“……”

Li Yadong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, these guys, I'm afraid they're hungry, right?

"I said Deputy Mayor Segail, you said the number. ”

"Oh, that's ten times as much as the last shipment. ”

"Ten times?" Li Yadong was happy, but there was a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he muttered: "This is not a small demand, the last batch of goods was worth 30 million rubles, according to the exchange rate at that time, it was close to 17 million US dollars, and if it was ten times, it would be a full 170 million US dollars......

He paused when he said this, and after glancing at Segail, he asked, "Is Deputy Mayor Segail representing a private person this time, or is it ...... On behalf of the government?"

"On behalf of the ......, of course Government. I personally need such a big need. Sergeil laughed.

"On behalf of the government?" Li Yadong was even happier in his heart, after brewing for so long, the fox's tail should be exposed, and he would definitely not ask for rubles, but as far as he knows, there is no foreign exchange and gold bars in Russia's small treasury now.

"Secretary-General Sergeyle, can I take the liberty of asking, in what way does your government plan to pay for such a huge sum of money?"

"This ...... Boss Li, do you see the ruble line?"

Li Yadong said twice, give you an expression, and experience it yourself.

Sergeil smiled awkwardly, knowing that the ruble stinks now, and no one wants to ask for it at all.

Even he didn't want it!

Don't look at the fact that he was promoted after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but his heart is also dripping blood, accumulating wealth for half a lifetime, and he thought that he was destined to have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and happiness in the next life, but now the ruble is depreciated like a blank sheet of paper, and in the long run, it is difficult to say whether he can maintain the current standard of living.

"The land?"

Li Yadong shook his head, he would be happy if it was China's land, but Russia ......

The land is too big, there are few people, there is little potential for appreciation, and the specified speed cannot match the rate of inflation.

"Then Boss Li has taken a fancy to the shares of that company?"

"Yukos Oil. "Li Yadong is very simple.

Although he has an absolute control over Yukos Oil, the oil giant still has nearly 40% of the shares, in the hands of the state or someone else.

Such shares already have the right to speak, and it is always a little unpleasant to point fingers.

"Energy, ......" But Segail looked very embarrassed: "This, I'm afraid it's unlikely." After the formation of the provisional government, the first bill proposed was to prevent the loss of energy assets. ”

It has to be said that the Yeltsin government is not useless, but it knows what Russia's economic lifeblood is.

But if energy can't be obtained, then Li Yadong is really not interested in other companies in Russia.

Other privatized companies.
