Chapter 174: Central Asia

Central Asia is very important for Russia and is now one of the few pro-Russian regions. When Russia's influence in Central Asia is replaced, it means that Russia has declined to a certain extent.

The large number of Russians in the Central Asian countries was an important factor in Lydia's breakthrough. With the arrival of the Russians, Central Asia has gradually entered the world economic system. New technologies, new systems, new cultures have entered here. The Russians laid railways, built many large projects, established many political entities, carried out ethnic identification, and reformed the written language. All of these have a profound impact on today's Central Asian society.

The Russians are the most dynamic ethnic group in Central Asia and an advanced force in the Central Asian region. The Russians are still the most educated, the most technologically advanced, the most capital-oriented, the most modern-minded, the most industrially and commercially minded, and the most dynamic progressive force of all the peoples of Central Asia. The Russians will inevitably continue to play an important role in Central Asia.

The problems faced by the countries of Central Asia are the same in many countries in other parts of the world. For example, how Southeast Asian countries should treat their own Chinese, how Latin American countries should treat Americans, how African countries should treat white Europeans, how European and American countries should treat Jews, etc. If we fail to maintain a tolerant mentality and suppress it too much, it will not be beneficial to our own economy.

There is a difference between Russians and natives, there is a difference between the Russian government and the local government, but there is no difference in one thing. That is, the relationship between the Russian gangsters and the local gangsters, who did not become estranged because of the collapse of the USSR. I have to say that this is a very ironic thing, people who are hostile to normal society have become models of friendship.

Today's Russia and the countries of Central Asia are all from the Soviet Union, and at least for the short term, they are inextricably linked.

"It's beautiful, a brand new city, and Nursultan Nazarbayev gave life to Astana." When Lydia stood at the top of the building and looked down at the new capital of Kazakhstan, she couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart. She has always loved this kind of God's perspective, and when she looks at it from above, there is always a refreshing feeling that envelops her whole body.

"Ma'am, Mr. Godunov has arrived, shall we go down?" Sasha Bayeva, the little secretary behind her, reminded her boss in a low voice, what should be said This little secretary is also a member of the Kang Zeen Secretariat, Lydia borrowed someone to use it, if she wants to get the same department, Lin Ye will definitely blow up.

"Got it, look at it a little longer, Mr. Godunov won't mind." Lydia stroked her somewhat disheveled blonde hair and said, if there is any fly in the ointment, it may be that the wind is stronger today.

Godunov is a Russian living here, a high-status businessman, and a bigwig who participated in the Soviet-era plenum of law thieves. He was also very pleased with his two sons, the eldest of whom was an ethnic minority cadre with a bright future in advanced Kazakhstan, after all, Kazakhstan was independent, and Russians were now a minority.

A person can live like a godfather, and Lydia has to say that she admires it, and goes straight to the point after a polite meeting, which is also where Lydia herself is charming, and she never talks nonsense.

"The courier industry? Does this thing make money? Godunov's eyes narrowed, and a look of thought flashed across his weathered face. For people of his time, the express delivery industry is really not attractive, the population of the Soviet Union itself is not large, the express delivery industry is naturally more advantageous in densely populated places, and the current Kazakh population is not high, "You should go to Uzbekistan to try it, maybe the effect will be better, I don't see any profit in the express delivery industry." ”

Godunov worked in many industries, selling fruits, pouring cotton, and later in the energy industry. These were the traditional industries of the Soviet Union at that time, and the only thing that was not optimistic was express delivery, even if the Soviet postal service was already very pitiful. Having said that, the express delivery industry is indeed incomparable with the industry he was involved in.

"I'll go to Uzbekistan, and of course I'll come here too, but it's just a matter of order." Lydia said with a smile, "Central Asia is a whole, and we don't want to limit our eyes to any single country. ”

This is where Russians living in Kazakhstan and people living in Russia think differently, one side of the water and the other side of the people, Godonov now thinks about the problem first and first looks at Kazakhstan, and Lydia sees the whole of Central Asia as one.

"The ambition is still not small!" Soon Godunov could hear the mystery hidden in Lydia's words, but he didn't care about it in his heart. Business can be a win-win situation, which is essentially different from gangster fighting, life and death.

Godunov is now a businessman, no longer the gangster who licks blood from the knife edge, and will not get angry because of a word that will lead to a business going to naught. When you reach a certain position, you naturally have the idea of not using the knife again. Now, many people like Godunov, who benefited from the collapse of the Soviet Union, are now making a change.

"So this requires the help of Mr. Godunov, some things cannot be solved with money, at least in the places where the former Soviet Union had influence, and some other factors are needed." Lydia's words couldn't help but have some compliments, this other factor refers to people like Godunov, if there are these local giants to protect them, they will get twice the result with half the effort.

Power and money are like twins, and the combination of the two is invincible, but power is not only available to the government, but in this part of Central Asia, and even in all the places included in the original Soviet Union, the gangsters and oligarchs themselves also represent power. If she really wants to fight for wealth, Lydia is not necessarily Godunov's opponent.

However, sometimes spending money is also an ability, and the difference between the two is that Godunov really lived at the bottom, and although the hard days are gone, they will always remain in his own memory. Lydia met Lin Ye before she became an adult, and then witnessed an operation that subverted the three views, Jin Shan has seen them all, and she is very open to money, even if she usually looks like Grande, but it is all an illusion.

Although Lin Ye was originally ready to work steadily, it would take a few years to take his time and build the express delivery network. can be forced by Lydia to directly spread out the stall. At the same time, it also ended Lydia's vase life.

Lydia did not disappoint her man either, and came out to be a wealth boy herself. Scattering money is the greatest ability, and a person like Godunov, who used to make money on the knife, would not invest a lot of money in a new project like Lydia, not to mention that he himself is not optimistic about this new project.

Lydia has to do this, she has the network left by General Daewoo, plus she has been successfully brainwashed by Lin Ye, and has an extraordinary passion for the express delivery industry, and to do a good job as an online shopping platform, it is necessary to cooperate with the giants of the express delivery industry. It's better to lay out yourself as soon as possible, and make a courier company first.

To put it simply, all kinds of reasons are not the decisive factor, the decisive factor is that the cartel express has been established, and now it has to be on it and not on it. There was no turning back from the bow.

As long as with the popularization of the Internet and the development of mobile intelligent terminals, this has brought the possibility of vigorous development of online shopping and retail. The rise of online shopping consumption has driven the rapid development of the express delivery industry. Online shopping goods show a trend of globalization, which puts forward higher service requirements for existing express companies, which is also in contrast, who has made the Russian Post as a pit for decades.

Having an opponent like the Russian Post is a happy thing for the cartel, just like Reagan ran into the map of Go, it must be that he saved the earth in his last life, and he can have such a big return in this life.

Someone pays for his own help, but Godunov will definitely not push it out, and it is not uncommon for business cooperation to benefit both sides. As the communication deepened, Godunov also had to admit that if he really followed the development trend described by Lydia, he might really become a huge company with considerable profits in the future.

This idea was fleeting, and Godunov still believed in visible benefits, and would not be eager to take the bait after others drew a pie, and in essence he was a businessman with a very heavy traditional concept.

Lydia not only fell in love with Central Asia, but also stared at the northwest of China, after all, many ethnic groups in the northwest are related to Central Asia, if the population of Central Asia is not enough to support, it is okay to add up the population of Northwest China, but this kind of thinking Lydia did not tell Lin Ye that her man's thinking of not going against the government, she knows too well. When it comes to China, she is anxious when she sees that tangled look.

This time, Lydia was supported by Godunov, a local snake, and spent a few days in Kazakhstan, and then traveled to other Central Asian countries, only to contact the forests in the Far East by phone every night.

This connection can be described simply, "Me, Lydia, and money!" It made Lin Ye wonder if he had encountered a scam call, if he couldn't hear Lydia's voice, he would have doubted whether his Mao Mei had been kidnapped.

According to the earlier idea, all the places that could be covered by the original Soviet state, cities with a population of more than 100,000, were to be covered, and this was certainly not a small plan. If it weren't for the support of VTB, no matter what kind of Kangzon or cartel, it might have encountered financial problems along the way and caused a collapse.

At this point, Lin Ye can already be proud, after all, he is the only Chinese who has forced the Russians to sign an unequal treaty so far, and if he sees a bad opportunity and runs back to China, the money taken out by the Russian bank is equivalent to compensation.
