Chapter 668 It's going well, the oligarchs are pleased

At 7 p.m. on October 22, in order to welcome Lin Cheng's arrival, the Moscow City Government specially held a grand dinner for Lin Cheng at the President Hotel in the center of Moscow. Fastest updates

The President Hotel belongs to the Ministry of Government Affairs of the Russian Federation and is a special hotel for Russian foreign affairs, which is generally used to receive foreign VIPs, but now it is used to hold banquets for Lin Cheng, which shows that the Russian government attaches great importance to Lin Cheng.

Of course, Lin Cheng does not rule out that the Russian government has the intention of making a fortune, after all, Russia's national credit collapsed in the financial crisis only two months ago, and in order to revive the economy, external investment is still indispensable, and it is time to rebuild credit.

Lin Cheng's reputation as the richest Chinese in the world is still very bluffing, and his net worth of 37.5 billion US dollars is still above the seven oligarchs in Russia, so officials from the Moscow City Government, the National Bank of Russia, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all came to the banquet.

On Lin Cheng's side, more than 30 people also came to attend the banquet, plus the staff of the Chinese Embassy, the banquet hall of nearly 300 meters of the President Hotel was actually full of nearly 200 people.

During the banquet, Lin Cheng once again became the protagonist with his own aura, and at this time, a leader of the National Bank of Russia was listening to the various items promised by Lin Cheng, and his eyes radiated a dazzling light.

Lin Cheng said boastfully: "Mr. Benozov, isn't your country short of daily necessities and a large amount of food? Don't worry, we have everything in the Lin family, China's instant noodles and canned fish are all famous all over the world, how much do you want?"

Do you underestimate our Lin family, even if it is 100,000 tons a month, there is no problem, there are so many of these things in China.

By the way, we still have a lot of flour, do you want it? Don't you Russians like bread the most?

Our Chinese flour is known for its good quality, moderate gluten, and most of the bran content is about 20%, and it is best used to make bread and desserts, including baguettes, meal bags, bread rolls, pizza, stick toast, all kinds of vegetarian cakes and biscuits, etc. ”

After listening to Lin Cheng's speech, Benozov's saliva couldn't help but flow out, because of the financial crisis in the past two years, Benozov was very sad even as a government official.

The benefits of the government units have not been paid for a year, the bank deposits have shrunk by two-thirds with the depreciation of the ruble, and the wife is even more frugal to make dry and hard black bread for him every day, and his mouth is about to fade out of a bird.

Now when I hear Lin Cheng talk about China's incomparably delicious instant noodles, canned fish, and his usual favorite bread rolls, pizza, and toast, the cravings in his stomach are about to seduce out.

Benozov swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly: "Mr. Lin Cheng, these things you said are urgently needed by our country, but you should also know the economic situation of our country, due to the invasion of the financial crisis, my country's finances have almost collapsed, and there is really no money in the treasury." ”

If he can get the materials that Lin Cheng said to Russia, Benozov, as the leader of the State Bank, will naturally be able to get a lot of quotas from the unit, and then he will no longer need to eat those unpalatable black breads.

It's just that the financial crisis has dealt a very heavy blow to Russia, and now Russia's foreign exchange has been run out, and the ruble is worth one price a day, not to mention foreign businessmen, and even its own people are abandoned.

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said, "I came to Russia with the friendship of the Chinese people, and it is too much for you to talk to me about money." In this way, in fact, I am very optimistic about the future of your country's economy, my Lin bank can lend money to the people of your country, and the people of your country can use RMB to buy our Lin's materials and commodities. ”

Benozov asked again: "What if our people can't afford to repay the loans?"

Lin Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, don't you have a lot of surplus oil and natural gas in your country, we can barter, and we definitely don't take advantage of your country, we can calculate oil prices based on international crude oil prices."

By the way, we are also very interested in your country's heavy industry equipment and products, and the scope of barter can also add your country's heavy industry machine tools, heavy trucks, drilling rigs, oil refiners, tractors, excavators and other mechanical equipment and products. ”

"Okay, good!" Benozov said excitedly: "We have a lot of these heavy industry equipment products in Russia, as long as you bring enough materials, we can exchange as many heavy industry equipment products as you want!"

After several times of communication with Russian officials, Lin Cheng and the other party soon reached more than a dozen business intentions, Lewanjia supermarket landing and Lin's bank's loan business have given the greatest convenience, as long as the agreement is signed, Lin Cheng's supermarkets and banks can smoothly enter the Russian market.

Feixiang Industrial Group and Besturn Automobile Group can also get the heavy industry equipment and products they need, and because of the continuous increase in the unemployment rate in Russia, Lin also took the opportunity to recruit a group of skilled workers who have been "laid off".

As for the fact that scientific researchers and engineers are the pillars of a country and an enterprise no matter where they are, the seemingly dull Russians understand this very well and resolutely refuse to let these talents go to Lin.

Since he doesn't give it, he can only dig it forcibly, Lin Cheng's attention to talents is obvious to everyone, in short, he will never give up.

As for the agreement of the Lin Group to provide 100,000 tons of daily necessities to Russia every month for a period of one year, many high-level Lin officials expressed concern about this, believing that no matter how large the Lin Group is, it will not be able to come up with so many materials.

As everyone knows, Lin Cheng did not hope that the Lin Group alone could gather so many materials, Lin Cheng had already discussed with Ambassador Wu Liu, and Ambassador Wu Luo made a proposal to the cabinet, and the government would organize domestic enterprises to complete the orders placed by the Lin Group, or sell the products directly to the Lin Group, and then resell the materials to the Russians in the name of the Lin Group.

Now it is 1998, China's light industry has begun to slowly tend to saturation, coupled with China's accession to the WTO to join the world free trade system, resulting in many domestic enterprises backlog countless goods, is worried about no land to sell, Lin Group's orders for these enterprises like a long drought in the rain, just to solve the urgent need, so that countless enterprises back to life.

However, just as Lin Cheng and the top management of the Lin family were rejoicing at the agreement reached in the past few days, the seven oligarchs of Russia jointly sent an invitation to Lin Cheng, inviting Lin Cheng to come to Berezovsky's villa to talk about cooperation and business.
