Chapter 632: Seeking Political Donations
"It's a pleasure to meet you, a talented young businessman from China, and I am an assistant to the president, Sverdlov Uralki Belevsky. The old man took off his hat, put out a weather-beaten face, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Fang Mingyuan was taken aback, although Nikolai mentioned that the identity of this old man was very important, but what did he say? The president's assistant? Russian President Yeltsin's assistant? This identity is really very important. However, what do you do with the aides of Russian President Boris Yeltsin?
However, surprised to be surprised, Fang Mingyuan still smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old man Belevsky and said, "Nikolai, you really gave me a surprise Mr. Belevsky, it's an honor to meet you." ”
"Haha, we have heard of Mr. Fang's name for a long time, when Xiǎoxiǎo founded Carrefour Supermarket, and also received the attention of the American Warmar Group, and reached a cooperation with you. During Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Mr. Fang gained a lot in the Shijie crude oil market and formed a deep friendship with the royal families of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Berevsky said while observing Fang Mingyuan's spirit, "In the year before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mr. Fang entered the Chinese market on a large scale, borrowed a huge amount of money from banks, and acquired a large number of enterprises and mines in China. ”
Fang Mingyuan was secretly frightened, although he also understood that on this shijie, personal liliang was difficult to compare with the political fǔ after all, especially these shijie powers, as long as they wanted to investigate something, then it could be said that it was difficult to hide it from them. But how could Belevsky not be touched when he sat in front of him like this, and told him all the things that he was proud of in his life?
Berewski said, while secretly surprised Fang Mingyuan's silence, such a young man is really rare, no wonder he can achieve such remarkable results at his age.
"Mr. Belevsky, it seems that you have investigated my situation in great detail, but I don't understand, what are you trying to explain when you talk about this?" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "If Mr. Belevsky wants to tell me through these things, and we know all your information clearly, then you have succeeded." But what's the use of that, you think?"
Belevsky was choked up by Fang Mingyuan's rhetorical question. Yes, what's the use of this thing? Even if it is publicized, it will only let the Shijie people know that there is still such a young rich man, so as to set a new yardstick, there seems to be no new role.
may add some blockage to the Fang family in Huaxia, it is said that the officials and people in Huaxia are the most disdainful of the rich. But what good is this for the Russian government? It's just that he has offended a strongman Belevsky, who has a rare talent in the world in business, has also lived on this shijie for dozens of years, and it is not for nothing that people like Fang Mingyuan have obtained so much wealth through legitimate means at the age of Xiǎoxiǎo, but most of them are inherited from inheritance, and it is really rare for Fang Mingyuan to come to the international market with his ability and vision.
If you want to say that Fang Mingyuan is making money in Russia and making unjust profits, I'm afraid that the Russians themselves can't open their mouths. When you depreciate your own currency and cause your own economic losses, is it difficult for others to compensate for them? When people bought your company's enterprises and mines, they were all given a full amount of rubles, and they did not deliberately lower the price, nor did they make trouble from it; compared with those vampires in the developed countries of the West, they could no longer be civilized. We can't just keep our eyes open and talk nonsense, saying that people can decide on currency depreciation in Russia? If we say that all the people who want to make money from Russia legally will be dissatisfied with the Russian government, then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and panic among foreign investors, and this is obviously not a good thing for Russia, which is in dire need of foreign investment.
Mr. Fang said that I didn't mean it that way, but out of curiosity, I wanted to see what a young man who could create such a miracle looked like. Belevsky laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes. Originally, he wanted to use this to suppress Fang Mingyuan's momentum and make him understand that this was Russia, not Huaxia, and his every move was all under the control of the Russian government, but Fang Mingyuan asked bluntly, but he poked open the layer of window paper-I know you all know, but what can it be? Fang Mingyuan, who thinks that he has no handle in the hands of the Russian government, is naturally fearless.
Although Belevsky was smiling on his face, he was a little bitter in his heart. He came to see Fang Mingyuan through Nikolaysky this time, but he had a major task, if he really fell out with Fang Mingyuan, then he would have no place to cry.
At this time, Russia is not only in a difficult situation economically, the economic level is constantly declining, politically, the Russian president and parliament are also inseparable, although at present, the Russian president still has a slight upper hand. But at the 8th National People's Congress in Russia, the president again confronted the parliament. After a fierce battle, the congress rejected the president's request for a referendum on constitutional amendments, withdrew the special powers granted to the president by the Fifth National People's Congress, and redefined the provisions of the constitution that limited the president's powers. In the face of powerful attacks and accusations, the president twice left the venue in anger.
After a month and a half of on-and-off discussions, the Russian Constituent Assembly proceeded unsatisfactorily, adopting only a new draft constitution that took into account the views of all parties. Although the draft affirms a bicameral parliament in principle, it is only a 'half-finished product', and the presidential constitution that the president wants is still far away. In order to completely defeat political opponents and establish himself as a truly powerful president, the president needs money and new allies
Belevsky is the man behind this fundraising for the president.
The reason why they are looking for Shang Mingyuan is also because they ponder and ponder, compared with those investors in Western developed countries, as well as these economic oligarchs in China, this Chinese teenager may put forward the most political demands
In their opinion, Fang Mingyuan's background is relatively simple, at least he is not an agent of Huaxia's state-owned capital, which is the most haode condition. The president is not afraid of financial losses for a while, but this kind of political demand with a problem is usually very troublesome to deal with, and it can also be a hidden danger in the future. Moreover, Huaxia has been paying attention to the development of the domestic economy in recent years, and its external expansion is not strong. So it's also more reassuring.
Moreover, compared with those funds in western developed countries, Fang Mingyuan is obviously a new liliang, and the new liliang means full of momentum, but also means immature, in this way, the possibility of his own side taking advantage is greater. And unlike in the face of those agents of capital in the developed countries of the West who are like old foxes, they can only get results that are completely inconsistent with what they have paid and what they have obtained. Although it is said that he was mentally prepared to be hemorrhaged by the other party before he came, no one would refuse to be able to give a little less.
"Mr. Belevsky, you probably didn't come to me just to see me? Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Your time is precious, and my time is not worth a ruble." If you can talk about it, you can talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, Mr. Belevsky can find someone else, and you don't have to waste time with me. ”
"Well, Mr. Fang is really a happy man," Belevsky exclaimed. It's just that none of the people present took his praise seriously. "This time, I came here to 'borrow' money from Mr. Fang......
Belevsky said it very tactfully, but Fang Mingyuan quickly understood, this one was asking for political donations
Political contributions, to put it bluntly, refer to political donations received by political parties, organizations or individual candidates from their own citizens and organizations. In Shijie countries, it can be said that political donations are a normal phenomenon in democratic politics. Unlike one-party countries such as China, North Korea, and the former Soviet Union, in a multi-party country, regular elections and the daily political activities of political parties and candidates require a large amount of funds.
However, political donations also provide an opportunity for individuals or groups with economic strength to use money to influence political operations, which gives rise to the criticized "gold power politics". In Shijie countries, there are many politicians who have fallen into a crisis of confidence because of the political donation scandal and even have to step down. Fang Mingyuan has the impression that former German Prime Minister Kohl, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and the Bush administration of the United States have all faced similar incidents.
Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered, it seems that just this year, in order to remove the obstacles on his political road, the current president of Russia even did not hesitate to shed blood and use force, despite such great risks, including his political reputation, brazenly commanded the army to bombard the "White House" -- the Russian parliament building, thus completely resolving the dispute between the president and the parliament
