Chapter 590: Meeting with Pu Ting

Kozlov's words were very powerful, to be honest, Li Zhiyang was a little surprised after listening to it, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet the Russian tsar tonight

Li Zhiyang is now considered a world-class tycoon, although his reputation is not so loud, and what Warren Buffett, Bill. Business celebrities like Gates have a much lower reputation than him.

But this is also related to his low-key, pretending to be a B lifestyle, but when it comes to personal wealth, he may not be much worse than those two

But it is precisely because of his low-key lifestyle that he is not often able to resemble Buffett or Beal. Gates, no matter what country you go to, you can easily meet local dignitaries.

So far, the most NB person Li Zhiyang has seen is none other than the current US President George W. Bush, and the biggest official he has ever seen in the Celestial Empire, that is, Gu Changtian, deputy director of the Fortune Committee.

But he and Bush Jr., that is, nodding friends, just spoke a few words, and they were very familiar with Gu Changtian, but Gu Changtian had not yet reached the core of the power of the Celestial Empire

You must know that this person is now the president of Russia, although the president will step down at the end of this year, but Li Zhiyang, who has the memory of his previous life, knows that the Russian tsar will not easily give up the power in his hands.

Russia's iron-fisted czar will continue to rule Russia for at least eight years, because although he will not continue to be the president of Russia, he will be the prime minister of Russia

And even if his term as prime minister expires eight years, or four years later, who knows if he will continue to run for president?

Li Zhiyang knows that the status of this general hearing in the hearts of the Russian people is not ordinarily high, and if he wants to continue to be president, it is not a difficult matter.

Moreover, the domestic political and economic situation in Russia is also unusually complicated, and such a big country, like the Celestial Empire, has its own problems of one kind or another.

Especially in terms of official knots and power, it can be said that Russia is not inferior to the Celestial Empire at all

On the issue of the Kissingkan iron mine, Li Zhiyang and the others have a lot of important matters to deal with, and because the iron mine is located in Russia, this matter must be able to get the support of powerful political leaders in Russia

Otherwise, with him Li Zhiyang, James, and Kozlov, it would be almost impossible to swallow such a piece of fat in one bite

Deripaska, the boss of Rusal, as well as Lukoil and Nolesk Resources, such large resource companies controlled by Russia's magnates, have an endless demand for resources.

And these companies are likely to be hit hard in the stock market in the coming months, but this will not affect their appetite.

If they knew that there was such a world-class large-scale iron-rich mine in Kozlov's hands, then these predators would definitely rush up and tear this Kozlov, who had no background in Russia, apart.

Who made this Kozlov a foreigner in Russia now? And a foreigner with no background, although he performed quite brilliantly at the charity dinner held by Pu Ting some time ago, but when it comes to the interests that are worth killing.

What can such a trivial matter count in the eyes of those powerful?

Even if this Kozlov catches up with the Rockefeller family in the United States, and Li Zhiyang, it is not a good thing, you must know that this is Russia

And the import and export of iron ore, although I don't want resources like oil and natural gas, are so expensive, but this is also a very important resource

I'm afraid that in the government, people with ulterior motives, if they are red-eyed, it will not be easy to do, so Li Zhiyang, James and Kozlov also summed up before deciding to take the line of general listening

Kozlov said that he would have a banquet in the evening, and when the time came, Li Zhiyang and James would be invited to attend together, and Li Zhiyang and James also began to think about how to talk at night, after all, they were going to meet this time as the head of state of the world's second power, and of course they should pay attention to etiquette and details

Kozlov explained to Li Zhiyang and James again, the various preferences of this general listening, and so on, Li Zhiyang and James planned again.

Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for the meeting in the evening

At about five o'clock in the evening, someone knocked on Li Zhiyang's door, and Li Zhiyang thought that Kozlov had come to call him, so he opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the people standing outside the door were not Kozlov at all, but two tall men in black suits with cool expressions.

Li Zhiyang's height is not short, but the height of these two people is about half a head stronger than Li Zhiyang, and they are both big men who are more than one meter nine and about two meters.

Coupled with such a powerful lightning expression, the first thought that came to Li Zhiyang's mind was to meet Russia's 'Zhongnanhai' bodyguard

Sure enough, a figure flashed out from behind these two big men, Li Zhiyang fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Nakozlov, this guy explained to Li Zhiyang with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, because the people we are going to meet today are very important, so they have to conduct a routine inspection, these two are people from the Presidential Affairs Administration, and they are responsible for conducting an inspection on you"

Kozlov's words verified Li Zhiyang's idea, and he was indeed Russia's 'Zhongnanhai bodyguard'

But after thinking about it again, there is no way, who made the identity of the person they are going to meet tonight so special and sensitive?

So Li Zhiyang made a shrug expression, and the two big men, as soon as they saw that Li Zhiyang agreed, walked into the house and groped Li Zhiyang up and down.

Although he was not used to being touched by men like this, Li Zhiyang still endured it

After the two of them finished wrapping up, Li Zhiyang went into the bathroom, began to freshen up, and dressed up before coming out of the bathroom.

These two guys came up to search again, Li Zhiyang was a little unsightly, but Kozlov next to him had a pleading face, obviously he also knew that Li Zhiyang was very dissatisfied with such an act, but for the sake of the iron mine, he was begging Li Zhiyang to endure more

Li Zhiyang took out his evening dress, and the two guys checked it very seriously on the evening dress, and then let Li Zhiyang put it on.

After Li Zhiyang dressed up, accompanied by these two big men, he walked out of the door, and at this time he also saw that James, who lived next door to him, also walked out of the door accompanied by two big men.

Li Zhiyang saw that James was also unhappy, and he knew that it seemed that James had not been left behind in the treatment he had suffered

James is also a very respected figure in the Western world, let alone in Western European countries, even in the United States, when he met the president of the United States, he was never treated like this.

So this encounter really annoyed him, on the way to the elevator and to the parking lot, James and Li Zhiyang complained all the way, of course, they were very quiet.

The elevator went directly down to the underground parking lot, and Li Zhiyang, James and Kozlov, accompanied by the four members of the Presidential Affairs Administration, walked out of the elevator together and got directly into an extended Mercedes-Benz car.

Russia's own automobile manufacturing industry is also similar to that of the Celestial Empire, so now Russia's domestic automobile market is basically full of European and American cars and Japanese cars.

Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of the underground parking garage of the Cosmos Hotel, accompanied by two Mercedes-Benz 600s, and went around the Great Ring Road of Moscow

With an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers and a population of about 12 million, Moscow is the largest city in Europe and one of the largest in the world

Moscow is surrounded by a large ring road, which is 109 kilometers long, which is longer than the fifth ring road in the imperial capital

The cosmic hotel where Li Zhiyang and the others stayed happened to be on the edge of the Great Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Moscow

After the convoy got on the Great Ring Road, it drove south for a while, then turned off and took a westbound road.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, so the sky was gradually darkening, but the lighting on this road was exceptionally good.

And there are not many cars on the road, which makes Li Zhiyang feel very strange, you must know that this is the first time he has come to Moscow, but he also feels a headache about the traffic situation in Moscow

In the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire, the traffic jam situation is already quite powerful, but if you compare it with Moscow, Li Zhiyang will simply feel that the imperial capital is not congested at all

It's five o'clock in the evening, and it stands to reason that it should be the end of work in Moscow, and there should be traffic jams on every road, but on this road, let alone traffic jams, there are not a few cars in sight at all

And this road, the further west, the more beautiful and spectacular the scenery is

The scenery on the side of the road, under the slanting rays of the setting sun, looks extraordinarily beautiful, and there is a bit of a world-class metropolis scene, which is almost like driving on a resort highway.

Li Zhiyang felt really strange, so he asked Kozlov, who was sitting with him in these two luxury Mercedes-Benzes.

"Kozlov, where are we going? Isn't it your banquet tonight?"

'Shh

Kozlov hurriedly made a silent gesture to Li Zhiyang, and the look on his face was a little panicked

You must know that after the people from the presidential affairs office escorted them to these two limousines, they did not pass with them, but got into the two Mercedes-Benz 600s before and after the two cars.

So Li Zhiyang doesn't understand very much, why is this Kozlov afraid of being like this?

"Mr. President, it's rude for you to call that way."

Kozlov explained to Li Zhiyang in a low voice, and Li Zhiyang looked at Kozlov's frowning and knowing that there might be a bug in the car.

James didn't care about this Kozlov's three-seven-twenty-one, he had been searched several times just now, and he was just unhappy

So he asked aloud: "What about him, Mr. Kozlov, where the hell are we going?"

Kozlov's face suddenly turned white at this time, but he also knew that these two might be angry, and they couldn't persuade them, so quickly change the topic

"The place we are going to now is, where is the Lublev district equivalent to, the Hampton on Long Island, New York, do you know Weifu? But where is the difference with the Hamptons, the Hamptons live in the American business circles, but this Rublev lives not only in the Russian business circles, but also in many Russian political dignitaries, and many Duma deputies, all live here, and the president also lives here."

Kozlov's brief introduction finally made Li Zhiyang and James understand

The relationship is similar to the West Mountain Villa in the imperial capital

"By the way, didn't you say that in the evening, you were the one who came to the banquet for Mr. President's micro-clothes? Why are we still here for Lublev?"

Li Zhiyang asked again.

"Hey, you know, a few years is the year of the presidential election, although everyone in Russia knows that the next president is Medvedev, but the media are still staring at Mr. President, Mr. President very strictly, now it is inconvenient to appear too much in Moscow, in case those reporters are sent to receive our photos, it will not be easy"

Kozlov explained.

"Yes".

Li Zhiyang thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he didn't say much

At this time, Kozlov began to introduce Li Zhiyang and James to the history of the Rublev region.

This Lublev, the Great Ring Road of Moscow, is an area three kilometers to the west to thirty kilometers, where the scenery is beautiful, the deep forests are dense, the wildlife is abundant, since ancient times, it has been the Russian royal family, as well as those high-ranking nobles and nobles

In Tsarist times, there were 16 ducal estates, 4 counts' estates, and two of the Tsar's palaces

Later, during the Soviet period, many government villas were built here, and many former Soviet dignitaries lived here, from Lenin to Stalin and so on.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the resurgence of the Russian capitalists soon reoccupied the place, which can be said to be the largest concentration of the rich in Russia, and these rich people control more than 24% of Russia's GDP

And Russia's first president, Boris Yeltsin, also lived here.

Of course, the current Pu Ting is no exception, and his official residence is in this Lublev district

The road on which their convoy is now traveling is called the Lublev-Dormition Highway, which is not usually open to the public at all, so there will be so few traffic on this road at this time

At this time, the convoy began to enter the feeling of a small forest, and the sky, which was already a little dark, was completely dark after the convoy entered the woods.

Li Zhiyang took out his mobile phone to check the time, but found that the mobile phone had no signal at all

Sure enough, when the convoy drove inside, the speed was very slow, and almost every two kilometers, there would be a checkpoint

And the lighting devices on the side of the road are also very bright, Kozlov told Li Zhiyang that these street lamps are made of cold light diodes, Li Zhiyang stuck out his tongue when he heard it, these Russians are really rich

At this time, people can be seen on both sides of the road, there are tennis courts, supermarkets, and many antique shops, restaurants, and coffee shops, but Li Zhiyang believes that these shops here must be super expensive

The architecture of this affluent area and the surrounding natural environment seem to be very harmonious, and it seems that the designers must have put a lot of thought into the construction of this place.

Just as Li Zhiyang followed the lights on the side of the road and admired the buildings here, the convoy made another turn and drove onto an unknown highway.

On both sides of this road, there are not high bushes, and there are no buildings on both sides of the road, but Li Zhiyang can still see some monitors from the branches of these low trees from time to time, and it seems that he is about to arrive at Puting's mansion.

Sure enough, after about ten minutes of driving, this grove came to the end, and the convoy drove into an open field, and Li Zhiyang suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

In front of this large open space is a large rectangular swimming pool, behind which is a large fountain pool, and then an ancient European palace-like building.

"This is the official residence of Mr. President, which used to be one of the Tsar's palaces."

Kozlov explained with a smile to Li Zhiyang and James.

The convoy drove forward for another ten minutes or so before it reached the gate of the big palace, and Li Zhiyang, James and Kozlov all got out of the car one after another.

A group of three people, led by the bodyguards of the presidential affairs office, stepped on the steps and walked towards the gate of this palace.

Although he didn't see anyone along the way, Li Zhiyang still had a feeling of being watched, and he knew that he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him at this time

Several people went up the stairs to the gate, pushed it open and walked in.

Inside was a magnificent hall, which seemed to be the place where the princes and dignitaries held a drinking party, and the bodyguards took them around a few times and entered a relatively small living room.

Li Zhiyang and James Kozlov, as soon as they entered the living room, they saw a middle-aged man with a small head standing in the center of the living room, waiting for them with a smile, and this person was Pu Ting
