Chapter 675: Goodbye Khodorkovsky
[NEW](.)
Back at the embassy, Ambassador Wu Liu, who had been anxious for a long time, summoned Lin Cheng and saw that Lin Cheng had come back with all his beard and tail. x
Thinking of the previous fear, Ambassador Wu Luo couldn't help but complain: "I said Lin Cheng, you went to the appointment this time too Meng Lang, I heard that you also made the bodyguard full of TNT, you are joking with your own life!"
"Hey, hey. Lin Cheng sneered, and said embarrassedly: "In retrospect, I did have Meng Lang, but wasn't I forced by them to be anxious, at that time, more than a dozen guns were pointed at my head, if I didn't counter back, I could only let them flatten and pinch the round." โ
When Ambassador Wu Luo heard this, he could not help but be a little afraid, and he said angrily: "These financial oligarchs are really too unreasonable, and I want to protest to the Russian government! How can the Russian government let them come to the Russian government? If only the big brother of the Soviet emperor was still here!"
Obviously, as a person born in the 40s, Ambassador Wu Luo still has a very Soviet imperial plot, after all, before the conflict between the Soviet emperor and the motherland in the 60s, he couldn't wait to wear the same pants, and the reason why China's industrial categories are so complete is also inseparable from the contributions of Soviet imperial experts.
Ambassador Wu Luo did not know that it was precisely because of the fall of the Soviet Emperor that the direction of development for socialist China, which was in a period of confusion. In order to prevent the country from repeating the mistakes of the Soviet emperor, Taizong and his old man firmly established the path of reform and opening up to develop the economy, and everything was centered on economic development, which led to China's later economic take-off.
Lin Cheng said: "Prosperity and decline are the objective laws of the development of things, Ambassador Wu, don't look at the oligarchs who are now covering the sky in Russia, but once Russia has a strong leader, these oligarchs will not be able to eat and walk around."
Just as our ancestors said, seeing him raise a tall building, seeing him feast guests, and seeing his building collapse, Russia's financial oligarchs will not be able to jump for long, and Ambassador Wu does not need to be angry for them. โ
Lin Cheng believes that his last threat has succeeded in bluffing the oligarchs, and the oligarchs should not obstruct their investment in Russia if they know each other.
However, if Ambassador Wu Luo protests to the Russian government, it is likely to make the oligarchs angry, and maybe there will be another stir.
Ambassador Wu Luo also saw Lin Cheng's intention to not want to cause trouble, and the parties concerned did not pursue it, so he could only do it, and he asked again: "By the way, Lin Cheng, how did you get TNT, this is a prohibited item, you didn't do anything illegal, right?"
Here's the trouble!
Lin Cheng chuckled in his heart, but his face was extremely flat, and he said nonsense: "I bought it from the Kirov Arsenal, and I have some business dealings with the Kirov Company." โ
Ambassador Wu Luo glanced at Lin Cheng deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, my country's laws can't control your affairs abroad, but you must remember not to violate foreign laws, otherwise I won't be able to save you." โ
Lin Cheng nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, I'm just a businessman, and I will never do anything illegal." โ
Ambassador Wu Luo said meaningfully: "I hope so. โ

Three days later, it was time for Lin Cheng to meet with Khodorkovsky.
In the past few days, Lin's investment in Russia has been progressing smoothly, and after the unwilling oligarchs were threatened by Lin Cheng, they did not obstruct Lin Cheng's business, so that Lin Cheng's hanging heart finally let go.
Lin Cheng also figured it out at this time, the so-called financial oligarchs in Russia are, to put it bluntly, the fame and fortune of Chiguoguo who revolve around interests, and the starting point of all their actions is to consider interests.
Berezovsky and Gusinsky are both Russian media giants who control more than 70% of the Russian media.
Once upon a time, in the competition for the Russian television network Channel 1, two oligarchs, Berezovsky and Gusinsky, also broke out into a fierce conflict, and seemed to be enemies who lived and died.
However, in order to take advantage of Lin Cheng, the two enemies actually joined forces to put pressure on Lin Cheng, which shows that the relationship between these oligarchs is like what the British diplomat said: there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
It was precisely because of this full realization that Lin Cheng used the strategy of division and disintegration in the last oligarchic covenant, and fiercely offended Berezovsky, Gusinsky, and Malkin, three oligarchs who had strong predatory intentions towards Lin Cheng.
On the contrary, Khodorkovsky, Abramovich, Friedman, and Yan Yuese, who were weaker and could not lose much in the financial crisis, finally had today's meeting with Khodorkovsky.
Khodorkovsky can be described as a rising star among Russian oligarchs, and he is also the one who was relatively late to be liquidated.
After Berezovsky and Gusinsky went into exile in 2000, Khodorkovsky seemed to sense a hint of danger, and he struggled to adapt to the new rules and transform himself from a robber capitalist into a spokesman for Russian capitalism.
The year 2000 was not only the beginning of the consolidation of power by the elimination of oligarchs, but also the beginning of Khodorkovsky's reshaping of his image.
"When you have money, who needs casinos?" Khodorkovsky said this in an interview with Western journalists.
But all this came to an abrupt end with the sound of the armed police "lay down our arms or we will shoot".
On October 25, 2003, armed police stormed Khodorkovsky's private plane refueling at Nova Babek airport, arrested him, and flew back to Moscow, where the young, wealthy, handsome, rock-star entrepreneur spent eight years in prison before he seized the opportunity to be released in 2011 and went into exile.
It turns out that what is black is black, and no matter how much Khodorkovsky washes it, it cannot become white.
Although Lin Cheng was not sympathetic to Khodorkovsky's sad fate at all, on the contrary, he was a little gloating, but Lin Cheng still chose to cooperate with Khodorkovsky.
After all, Khodorkovsky will have to wait five years before he is unlucky, and even after he is thrown into prison, his Yukos oil company is still operating normally, and the business does not seem to be too disturbed.
Moreover, Khodorkovsky has been promoting the oil pipeline project of the Ontario line, although this project has been disrupted by the Japanese government due to the procrastination of the Chinese and Russian governments, but after he intervened, Lin Cheng believes that the Ontario line project can be quickly completed with lightning speed and without giving the Japanese government a chance to make peace.
The meeting was held in a manor on the outskirts of Moscow under the name of Khodorkovsky, as soon as the two met, Khodorkovsky ignored Lin Cheng, but walked straight to Zhang Hong and Zhao Hu, patted the chest of the two, and found that there was nothing unusual.
