Chapter 593 Buying Technology

"Hahaha, of course this is not Russian hospitality, dinner, I have already asked someone to get ready, let's go to the restaurant to eat"

Pu Ting laughed and said, then got up and rushed to the restaurant with Li Zhiyang and a few of them...

The dinner that Pu Ting entertained Li Zhiyang and them ate was nothing unusual, it was all some traditional Russian food, kebabs, beetroot soup, smoked red sausages, mutton godson, all buy Da Leba, and Russia's most famous caviar

Although the dishes are all ordinary dishes, when Li Zhiyang and the others eat, they can feel that these dishes are very exquisite, and the ingredients are of course not the same as those street snacks.

A few people ate happily, and during the banquet, Pu Ting and Li Zhiyang drank a lot of wine together, and they looked very happy, after all, today was a win-win situation for him.

Politically, at least under James's nod, when he becomes prime minister of Russia, he will not attract too much criticism in some media in Western Europe and the United States.

In this way, these European and American countries will not label Russia as undemocratic on the issue of his appointment as Russian prime minister, and reduce a lot of international political pressure on Russia.

Second, the development of this Kissingan iron ore mine is not too bad for him, after all, this iron mine can bring him hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars in income every year.

Although he could have asked for more, he also knew that he was a political figure now, and his hand sometimes couldn't stretch too long

Third, he agreed with James that once he became Russia's prime minister, James would help him and give him some help on the issue of Russia's application for joining the WTO, which could be regarded as a great achievement for him in advance

Three birds with one stone, and in fact, the development of the Kissingkan iron ore mine is just a matter of saying a few words to some other coveted people, and it doesn't cost him anything big.

So why wouldn't he be happy to do such a good thing?

And Li Zhiyang, James and Kozlov, because they all got what they wanted, they were also very happy and happy

This meal was a joy for the guests and hosts, and everyone was very happy

After eating, Li Zhiyang, James and Kozlov were all very discerning and said goodbye to Puting, they all knew that Puting had not yet stepped down, and he was still the head of a country, and he would be very busy every day, and he would be very busy and have no time to talk nonsense with them, so they left with Puting

After returning to the Universe Hotel, the three of them were not in a hurry to go back to their rooms to rest, but went to the bar downstairs to sit for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest

James was going back to the United States early the next morning, and now that the development of the Kissingan iron ore mine was a foregone conclusion, he was going back to the United States to meet the president of Li Zhiyang's Pan American Bank, Bernard. Madoff hurried to get in touch.

This time, they are investing two billion dollars in the Kissingkan iron ore mine as a bank, although they are now Bush's investment bank.

But of course they know how to operate, these two billion, Li Zhiyang is not a big man, and they don't even pay out of their own pockets.

You must know that they have such a big bank in their hands, although compared with big banks such as Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, their Pan American Bank is not very large.

But in terms of financing, of course, they had their own channels, and when Bernard stopped his own fund and joined the Pan American bank, it caused a lot of sensation in the United States.

You must know that in the United States, in this financial crisis, the only one who did not suffer a lot of losses and was able to safely return all the customer's money was Madoff's investment company

Such performance, such reputation, in Wall Street, dare not say to be one of the best, but in this financial crisis, it is also the only one, although after Madoff ended his investment company, so that many investors, are very pity.

But in the blink of an eye, Madoff joined the Pan American Bank, which has a very mysterious background and claims to have an unusually strong background, which made many of Madoff's former customers shattered their spectacles

Many of his former clients, on the basis of Madoff's fame, have approached Madoff's head one after another, and the big guys are vying to deposit their money into this Pan American bank

Not for anything else, just because of Bernard. Madoff's reputation is trustworthy, considering that Bear Stearns has collapsed, Merrill is now kneeling for the Bank of America's bag*, and Lehman is still humming, waiting for the U.S. government to come to the rescue

And Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley even announced that they would switch careers to play commercial banks, and the big guys in investment banks would no longer play.

With such a big bank lying like this, who else in the United States can be trusted?

These tycoons, thinking about it, only this Madoff is trustworthy, so although this Pan American Bank is now also a commercial bank, everyone believes that as long as the market improves, then Pan American will definitely return to the list of investment banks

And if you think about it, in the past, this Madoff was quite picky when it came to selecting investors, and when he was an investment company, there were quite a lot of rules.

If your assets are less than 10 million, people don't do it, if you have any questions, then okay, please change to another family. And if you are holding back on your investment, please find another place to find it.

So at this time, everyone has a little spare money, and they are all quite enthusiastic, and they all deposit their money in the Pan American Bank, waiting for the time when Bernard plans to come out again, and the big guy's money can also be ranked first

This time, Li Zhiyang and they planned to use the hearts of these American bigwigs to earn this profit, and they planned to issue some of the company's debts.

For a three-year period, the return rate for three years is 10 to 15 percent, and this matter will be left to Madoff, who will take care of it. When the time comes, those rich people will definitely send the money over like a broken head

Now in this world, the United States is about to go bankrupt, the financial crisis is so big, the US government has so much foreign debt, and this time the domestic economic situation in the United States is so grim.

You don't have to think about it, people with a little common sense will know that the United States will definitely have a large amount of hairstyle state bonds, and these bonds will definitely depreciate when the time comes.

And everyone knows that when the time comes, in order to reduce the pressure of repaying debts, the US government will definitely depreciate the dollar

Now the economic environment in the world is so bad, even if you have two spare money in your hands, there must be no good investment projects.

What's more, many investment funds, and trust funds, even if they are not damaged in this financial crisis, will not have a good life in the next three years.

After all, there are not many projects that can be invested, but the pressure of dollar depreciation is increasing, and everyone certainly doesn't want to look at the money in their hands and lose value for no reason.

So they will definitely be looking all over the world for businesses that can maintain value or even add value.

Therefore, Li Zhiyang's bonds, although the return amount is not high, will definitely be a very good choice in the current world

When the time comes, the rich politicians from all walks of life in the United States and even Europe will also be squeezed out of their heads.

So Li Zhiyang and the others this time, they are simply playing karate, and they don't spend a penny, and when the time comes, those American bigwigs will help them get the two billion out.

And when the time comes, as long as you are in contact with the people from the Celestial Empire, these guys from the Celestial Empire will definitely be able to pay a lot of money

In the end, the biggest piece of the cake was, of course, Li Zhiyang and James's Pan American Bank

Therefore, this fund-raising matter is now considered a big deal, and it will be handed over to James and Madoff to do, so this James will be in such a hurry to return to the United States the next day.

James is gone, but Li Zhiyang doesn't plan to go back in such a hurry, because he has to wait until Bai Tiejun and they return from their investigation.

They stayed in Moscow for only one night, and the next morning they left for Kissingkan, and this time they went, but Kozlov arranged a private transport plane.

After all, Moscow is not close to Kissingkan, and there is no one for a hundred miles, and the railway does not go anywhere at all.

Therefore, if you take the train, it will take three to five days, and when you get off the train, you have to take a car, and then you can do it for another day or two to get to the place.

In short, if you go by road, you don't even think about the place for a week.

But fortunately, Kozlov had already anticipated such a problem when he was filming where the exploration team was going last time, so he arranged for someone to build an improvised airfield somewhere.

In Kissingkan, there used to be a military airfield, but it was later abandoned, and Kozlov was exactly where he was, and with a simple repair, it was ready for use.

That's why he arranged a private transport plane to pick up Bai Tiejun where they went

Now Kissingkan has basically lifted the state of winter and has begun to enter spring, which is already the middle of April, and in other places in the northern hemisphere, many places, the temperature has already exceeded 20 degrees, but Kissingan has just passed 10 degrees at this time

Although it was still very cold, it was already suitable for the normal activities of human beings, so Bai Tiejun's exploration journey would not be as strenuous as the work of the exploration team that Li Zhiyang sent out at Christmas

After all, at this time, Kissingan has begun to enter spring, and the ground has also frozen, and is no longer covered with snow, so their exploration work will be much more convenient.

Surveying an area of more than 100 square kilometers, it is estimated that dozens of people, divided into five or six teams, can be completed in about a week

As long as we have first-hand and practical information, it is completely possible for the two sides to discuss cooperation and conduct inspections in the future

Bai Tiejun and Li Zhiyang both know that there are many people in China who are waiting for this exploration report, so there is some eagerness on both sides

Bai Tiejun, they will have to wait for a week or so to come back, so Li Zhiyang also plans to stay in Russia for another week, anyway, he doesn't need to worry too much about his current domestic business.

And he stayed in Russia for more than a week, but there was another very important thing to do

That is, he is also meeting with a very important person to discuss some 'business' matters

And this person is the boss of Rusal, Oleg. Deripaska

This Oleg. Deripaska is not simple, at the beginning of '08, he had a net worth of $28 billion, which is $4.5 billion more than that of Abramovich.

Ranked second on the list of Russia's richest people, just more than Mikhail. Puprokhov is just a little less

But now, this Oleg. Deripaska's life is quite difficult, and now the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has spread to Europe.

The economic powers of Western Europe are now generally suffering from economic colds, and many of the investments made by this old brother in the stock market in Western Europe have been greatly wasted.

And at the moment, this financial catastrophe has not yet extended to Russia, and if it does, then the shares of his own Rusal company do not know how to fall?

But Li Zhiyang remembers the future trend of this guy very clearly, he remembers that 10 years before he crossed over, one day when he was at work, he was bored and flipped through the web page, and saw a news on a certain web page.

That news, that is, Moscow at that time had become the world's most billionaire city

After the financial tsunami of 08 years, the Russian stock market at that time fell by two-thirds at once, and many of the former Russian business tycoons suddenly became negative equity, or their assets shrank by 70 or 80 percent

But after only 09 years, the Russian billionaires are killing back at an astonishing speed, and the number of billionaires in Moscow now is more than double that of the brain financial crisis 08 years ago

At that time, there were several names listed on the news, many of which were famous Russian tycoons, including Abu, Mikhail, and this Oleg

The reason why Li Zhiyang remembers this Oleg very clearly is because he is different from those rich people who recover their vitality quickly, others have recovered their vitality very quickly, and their net worth has even risen slightly compared to before the crisis.

But this Oleg was used as a negative teaching material to promote, and the vitality of this buddy not only failed to recover, but also declined.

Abu soon returned to the list of the top 10 richest people in Russia, but this guy is falling deeper and lower and his good buddy Abu, but he has embarked on the opposite path

So this time, Li Zhiyang just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find this Oleg, and the purpose of looking for him, of course, there was nothing surprising, of course, it was to take advantage of the fire to rob

This Oleg is the president of Rusal, and he also owns a lot of shares in the Russian steel giant, Yefraz.

This Oleg, originally Ben in the former Soviet Union, was the chief smelting engineer of a large state-owned iron and steel enterprise

And the reason why Li Zhiyang came to find this Oleg this time, and chose to rob him at this time, was not for his own Kissingkan iron mine.

The target of his robbery is the Russian steel giant, Yefraz's special steel smelting technology, and Rusal's special aluminum smelting technology

This Yevraz, in the former Soviet Union, was the special steel of the Russian military for steel mills, specializing in the production of special steel for automobiles, ships, aircraft, and submarines, and other military products.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, this Yevraz steel plant fell into the hands of Berezovsky, who was later forced into exile in Britain by the general public.

At that time one was called Vladimir. Lesin's men appeared, and this man united Abu and Oleg, and he was very fond of Pu Ting.

Pu Ting likes to hunt, so they built the largest skeet shooting center in Russia for Pu Ting to have fun.

In the end, the three of them finally got this Yefraz Iron and Steel Plant in the hands of Pu Ting

And before the collapse of the Soviet Union, this Oleg was the chief smelting engineer of this Yevraz steel plant

The most developed smelting technology in the world is currently none other than the United States, Japan, and Germany, but in fact, let's not forget that in fact, Russia's metallurgical technology is not much worse than these three countries

Although it is true that there is a gap between Russia and those three countries in terms of technology, Russia's steel smelting technology is second to none in the world

The backwardness of material science in our Celestial Empire is largely backward in the smelting of metals and the development of alloy steel

And Li Zhiyang now has his own engine manufacturing plant in the Celestial Empire, but the raw materials needed for his engines are often some special steel

Moreover, the gearbox of the car he wants to develop in the future is the place that needs the most special steel, but such special steel is currently impossible to produce by our steel enterprises in the Celestial Empire

At present, many of the special steels needed for Li Zhiyang's engine factory are imported from Japan

This is exactly what Li Zhiyang doesn't want to give people a handle, he doesn't want the Japanese to pick up such a big bargain for no reason

Think about it, at present, many iron and steel enterprises in the Celestial Empire are producing some rough steel, and then they are bought by Japanese companies, and after they buy it back, they will be further processed to make special steel, and they will be bought back to the Celestial Empire at a high price difference, which is also what Li Zhiyang, a self-proclaimed and indignant person, does not want to see
