"Is this the intention of Citibank itself or the intention of the Huaxia government?" Jia Lei asked with a frown when he heard this.

They want to make Pearl City the financial center of China, so Citibank headquarters will not agree to your project. Of course, if you need funding for this project, Citibank is happy to help. The manager of Citibank replied.

"I've been short of money lately! I'm just sorry for you, you missed such a good opportunity to make money! I don't know who will pick up this big bargain in the end. Jia Lei sighed and said.

Who picked up this opportunity to make money in the end?

Jia Lei found out a few days later!

September 18, 1993

"Xishi's Industrial Bank and Hsin Chong Department are already planning to withdraw their shares, and now there are two new companies that want to join this real estate project, one of them is China * Bank and the other is Goldman Sachs Bank. They jointly took over 18% of the shares of Industrial Bank and Hsin Chong in the development project. Miss Zhang brought Jia Lei unexpected news.

"Goldman Sachs Bank? What are they doing here, Goldman Sachs Bank is a group of unprofitable lords, and more importantly, they also like to pit partners! If you let Goldman Sachs enter the game, I don't feel at ease...... Jia Lei said with a special headache, there is no way, Goldman Sachs Bank has too many black histories in China.

It is said that in addition to promising investment, the people at Goldman Sachs Bank also promised to help us solve the McDonald's problem, so we can't refuse their joining. Miss Zhang said with a wry smile.

"I ×! Did Goldman Sachs catch up with the Chinese government so early?" Jia Lei said in disbelief when he heard this.

It is said that Goldman Sachs Bank was anxious to see that Citibank had obtained a permit to enter Huaxia to operate, so they tried to join the project, and they originally wanted to use this project to contact the Chinese government. Miss Zhang said.

"But before the Oriental Plaza project started, the investor had already been replaced by two, isn't this a good sign?" Jia Lei said with a special headache.

"Why do you say that?" asked Miss Zhang, puzzled.

"Didn't you notice? Before I solved the Xinhua Bookstore, neither of these two groups seemed to have much interest in our project, right?

I just solved the biggest problem here, and now our project is basically successful, and as a result, they came to buy shares.

This is really a thin field that no one cultivates, and there are people fighting for it!

This group of people can't wait to start earning benefits now, it's hard for me to imagine how many people will want to pick peaches after the completion of the Oriental Plaza? I'm afraid we'll be in trouble then?" Jia Lei said with a headache.

"This is indeed a problem, but what can we do? They are taking over the shares from the other two companies in an open and honest manner, and all we can do is to try to hold on to the shares in our hands and not let go.

Anyway, our Dong family doesn't have many shares in Oriental Plaza, and the above always wants to give our Dong family a little face, even if it is a little loss, it will not hurt the bones. Miss Zhang said.

"I heard that Brother Ling intends to enter politics, if he really succeeds, no one in your Dong family will dare to move. But I'm just... , hehe......" Jia Lei smiled bitterly when he said this, he is the softest persimmon in this development case.

"I heard that you also have a lot of connections in the Huaxia government, are you still afraid of this?" Miss Zhang asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid! Most of my relationships in China are made with money, and this relationship is not reliable at all, and my position in the government is not even comparable to that of Xinhua Bookstore.

Of course, it would be better if you could get the money-making business into your own hands, so that you would get a steady stream of money! Fools understand this truth!" Jia Lei sneered and said, waiting for others to give one or two peaches, how could it be more cost-effective to snatch the whole peach tree.

"Then are you going to sit back and wait like this?" asked Miss Zhang.

"Of course not! I'm going to strengthen myself now before anyone else has time to fight my shares. It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone these days!" Jia Lei squinted his eyes and said.

"How do you grow your strength?" Miss Zhang asked, and the strength of being able to compete with the powerful is not something that can be grown casually.

"This is my secret!" Jia Lei said proudly.

Moscow, 20 October 1993

"Uncle Utarus, are you ready?" asked Jia Lei.

"I'm ready, but Jia Lei, are we really going to do this?" asked Utarus.

"Of course we have to do this, and now is the most critical period for Yeltsin and the parliament to compete for power, and he urgently needs support from all sides, so we just took advantage of the situation to negotiate a good price with him. Jia Lei said.

"But do we really want to elect Yeltsin? The White House of Russia is now the supreme leader of the Russian Federation, and Yeltsin is just the president of Russia, so do we really need to take sides in such a hurry?" General Utaru asked.

"Uncle, you should know better than me, this kind of thing should be useful before the winner is decided, you really wait until someone separates the winner and then run to stand in line, will people still appreciate it?" Jia Lei asked.

Of course I know this, but the Soviet government has been in existence for decades, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and I don't believe that the CPSU will fall so easily. General Utarus said.

"Uncle, don't forget that the Soviet Union collapsed two years ago, and the Soviet Union has already existed in name only, so it's too late for you to hesitate at this time.

On the 18th of this month, Yeltsin's Council of Russian Federation was formed, and they were preparing to replace the Supreme Soviet Assembly as the supreme leader.

I think the collapse of the Soviet Union was just an overnight thing, and we really can't afford to wait. Jia Lei said.

"Well, I'll listen to you! I just hope that both of us are not wrong this time, or I will become a sinner in Tatarstan. Utarus nodded.

"Don't worry, how can I harm you! I will rely on you to support me in the future, of course I hope that you will be as powerful as possible. Jia Lei rubbed his hands and said that Russia was already a little cold at the end of September.

"Then can you tell me where you got the news that Yeltsin was going to seize power by force? If it weren't for this news, I wouldn't have followed you to Moscow to make trouble. Utarus asked.

"Hmm...... Although I don't have a definite message, I have pieced together the information obtained from multiple sources, and I have found clues that Yeltsin intends to seize power by force, and he is a person who moves unequivocally, and you can see it right away. Jia Lei said.

"Recently, the economy of Russia as a whole has not been in a good situation, and we in Tatarstan really can't afford a war. If Yeltsin is really a man of action who likes to solve problems by force, I am afraid that we in Tatarstan will have to consider another method to demand independence?" said Utaru worriedly.

"Sometimes it might be a good thing to take a step back!" Jia Lei said, and then he followed Utarus into the door.

Yeltsin's henchmen were waiting for them, and after a brief greeting between the two sides, they began to get to the point.

"General Utarus, it is really an honor for us to be here in Moscow in the midst of your busy schedule!" said Yeltsin's henchman, standing up.

"I'm just a rough man who leads troops into battle, and there's nothing honorable for you to see me!" Utarus said politely.

"General Utarus's reputation is far and wide, how can you be considered a rough man. The henchman continued to laugh, as if he didn't care about Utarus's cold face at all.

"Alright, we're all pressed for time, so don't be a sycophant here, let's get to the point. Utaru banged on the table with a horsewhip and said, Jia Lei honestly stood behind him and played the role of a little follower.

"Your Excellency the General is refreshed, then I'll just say it directly! Your Excellency the President sent me this time mainly to ask the General for a word?" said the confidant.

"Oh, what does he want from me?" asked Utarus, stopping his hand tapping on the table.

"There is an old Chinese saying that there cannot be two suns in the sky and no country can have two masters, but now there are two regimes in Moscow.

One is the office of His Excellency the President, and the other is the Soviet Assembly, and sometimes the orders of our two sides are in conflict or even in complete contradiction, which makes the following federations very distressed, and many places are no longer obedient to orders. The confidant said worriedly.

"What does it matter to us in Tatarstan that the Federation under the Russian Government is distressed? We in Tatarstan have never joined the Russian Federation, and we are now an independent state. Utarus said.

"We will talk about the independence of Tatarstan later, and those matters should be left to the officials to talk about. I have come to ask you on behalf of His Excellency the President, if there is a conflict between our presidential palace and the parliament of the White House of Russia, which side will you Tatarstan stand on?" the henchman asked.

"Do you have a bad memory? Didn't I just say that we in Tatarstan do not belong to the Russian Federation and are not subject to the Soviet government. Whatever you both want to do, it has nothing to do with us in Tatarstan!" Utaru said.

"Do you mean that you will not meddle in the struggle between our two sides, and will not attack the Russian Federation while we are fighting?" asked the henchman anxiously, sometimes it is a kind of support to ignore it.

"Of course we won't attack any of you behind your back! We Tatars have always been above board, how could we do such a thing of stabbing in the back.

Since I promise you today that you will not move, then no matter what happens in Moscow, I promise that the people of Tatarstan will not wipe their hands, and as long as your people do not cross the line, my people will not move. Utarus replied.

"As long as you can keep this oath of not helping each other, it will be the greatest support for His Excellency Yeltsin. The henchmen were relieved to say that Moscow was so close to Tatarstan that Stan's troops could reach Moscow in a day's walk along the railway.

"You go back and help me tell Yeltsin that since we in Tatarstan have given him face this time, I hope he will return the favor of our Tatar government this time as soon as possible.

Isn't your government recently negotiating with us on independence? I hope that you will give greater freedom to the people of our Tatar government in terms of the relevant terms. Utarus said.

"Don't worry. I will certainly convey this to His Excellency the President. The henchman hurriedly said.

"Well, that's fine, as long as you keep your promises, we will support His Excellency Yeltsin's actions in the future. Utaru said, and then he took Jia Lei away.

*****

1992 year

"Grandpa, this is the latest news report today, just President Yeltsin signed Decree No. 1400. His Excellency the President declares the immediate suspension of all powers of the Russian People's Congress and the Supreme Soviet throughout the Federation.

Yeltsin also announced the creation of a new legislative authority of the Russian Federation, and elections to the members of the Federal Assembly will be held on December 11-12. Udis walked in with a new report on his mind.

"You bring me the report, I want to see what is written on it?"

The presidential decree above the report contains many articles, which roughly means that the Russian Federation is ready to formulate a new constitution in accordance with the referendum resolution of April 25 this year, and to remove the stumbling blocks that hinder the formulation of a "new constitution" The Soviet parliament in the White House of Russia.

Yeltsin wanted to say that, in accordance with the resolution of the people's referendum, during the transitional period before the enactment of the new Constitution, only the President of the Russian Federation has the right to dissolve the Supreme Soviet and the People's Deputies, and the Supreme Soviet Assembly cannot remove the President of the Russian Federation from power.

It seems that Yeltsin is planning to strike first!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

According to the provisions of the old Constitution, the highest executive body of Russia was the Supreme Soviet Assembly, which meant that the parliament originally had the power to dissolve the government of the Russian Federation.

And now this presidential decree is the opposite of the old Constitution!

"Yeltsin's decision is too ruthless! He wants to completely remove the power of the parliament, and the Russian White House will definitely not compromise!" Utaru frowned and said, if it is only weakened, the two sides still have to talk.

"What if you don't compromise? If you don't compromise, you will hit him to compromise!" Jia Lei said indifferently.

"They probably won't use force, right? The 1991 819 incident and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the White House and Yeltsin did not use force to resolve such a big matter, so how can they do it in peacetime now?" said Utaru in disbelief.

"Because at that time, the Russian White House parliament and Yeltsin had not been cornered by each other, and of course they would not fight to the death. But now Yeltsin wants to completely remove the power of the parliament of the White House in Russia, and the two sides have really reached the point where either you die or I live.

Gorbachev will definitely not sit still!" Jia Lei said with certainty, because these things have been written in the history books.

Things really developed as Jia Lei said, and as Yeltsin published the presidential decree No. 1400 on TV, the parliamentary side of the White House immediately began to fight back.

After the presidential decree of the White House of Russia was released, all the personnel were convened for an hour of urgent consultations, and then they announced to the public that they would immediately terminate the power of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin!

At the same time, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which is subordinate to the White House parliament, declared Yeltsin's actions unconstitutional, removed him from the presidency and appointed Alexander Rudskoi to act as president.

From this moment on, the White House parliament and the presidential administration of Russia began a white-hot struggle for the supreme power of the Russian Federation!
