Chapter 633: Aftermath of Ninety-Three
Chapter 633 Ninety-Three Yu Bō
On that day, what Fang Mingyuan and Belevsky talked about, and what Belevsky and Fang Mingyuan got respectively, none of the parties involved talked about it again in the years that followed. Archives related to Russian politics are also classified as top secret, and must be declassified after a hundred years before it can be decided, depending on the circumstances. On the third day after Fang Mingyuan's conversation with Belevsky, Fang Mingyuan left Moscow by special plane and returned to China, ending his trip to Moscow.
Nikolaski, half a year later, was promoted to president of the Alrosa company, became the well-deserved leader of the company, and sat there for fifteen years, until he decided to retire himself. Whether it was during Yeltsin's administration or later when Putin was in power, his position was as stable as Mount Tai and no one could shake it. Of course, it was thought at the time that this was also related to the close relationship between the mysterious big buyer of the Alrosa company. During the most difficult years of the Alrosa company, this mysterious buyer would purchase hundreds of millions of dollars of diamond embryos from the company every year. It's just that there is a lot of speculation about where this buyer came from and who he is, but there has never been an official response from Nikolaski and Alrosa. Everyone also did not know that in the summer and autumn of 1993, the original diamond embryo sold by the Alrosa Company to a mysterious buyer was sold at a premium of more than 100 million US dollars, and the payment of more than 100 million US dollars was finally lost.
As for the Maxim family, on the second day after Fang Mingyuan left Moscow, the Russian Ministry of Defense ordered General Maxim to be transferred to the border area and served as the supreme commander of a certain forward base. The influence of the Maxims in Moscow was greatly reduced.
On the fifth day after General Maxim was transferred to the border base, the Maxim restaurant in the center of Moscow changed hands, and three months later, the first branch of Fangjia Restaurant in Russia was officially opened on the site of the original Maxim restaurant. On the day of the opening, the deputy mayor of Moscow, Zakharov, personally attended the ribbon cutting, and many well-known people in Moscow came to congratulate him. Among them was Nikolaski, the vice president of the Alrosa company. As the first high-end Chinese restaurant to open in Moscow, Fangjia Restaurant has a thriving business, and there are guests every day, but whether it is the various departments of the government or the characters on Moscow Road, they all understand that the background of the people is hard, although it looks like a féiròu, but if anyone really wants to open their mouths, they may poke your teeth
Of course, the reason why these greedy and insatiable guys are given such an understanding is not only because of the deterrent effect of the deputy mayor of Moscow and the deputy general manager of the Alrosa company, but also because, on 10 October 1993, after the Russian president sent the military and police to block the road leading to the White House, the building of the Russian parliament, and cut off its water supply, electricity, heating, and telephone, for more than two weeks, tens of thousands of parliamentary supporters broke through the defense line of the military and police and gathered in Smolensk Square because of an armed clash between tens of thousands of parliamentary supporters and the military and police surrounding the "White House." The men then stormed the Ostankino television station and the Moscow city building, killing six Moscow Interior Ministry policemen.
When the Russian president heard the news, he immediately declared a state of emergency in Moscow, and then mobilized the government to surround and storm the parliament building. For a time, heavy shells exploded everywhere in the parliament building, causing a fire that turned the upper part of the white building into a black one, and hundreds of special forces, under the cover of heavy tanks and helicopter gunships, stormed the parliament building in one fell swoop, thus ending in the defeat of the parliament in Russia, which lasted for more than a year in the struggle between the president and the parliament
Of course, these things in Russia's internal affairs have nothing to do with the Fangjia Restaurant, but on that day, there were more than 50 soldiers stationed on the street near the Fangjia Restaurant. Otherwise, in all the many movements before the collapse of the Soviet Union, how could there never be any soldiers who came to protect Arbat Street, not even a few police officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of course, I didn't notice that in the Far East, on the border between China and Russia, in the jurisdiction of the three customs, a Chinese-funded customs clearance company was quietly established. And in the months that followed, the customs clearance company expanded its business at an astonishing rate, seriously squeezing the space for some customs clearance companies in Russia.
It is no secret that many Chinese merchants brought goods into Russia through illegal "gray customs clearance". However, "ash sè clearance" is not to go sī. To be precise, it means that the consignor delivers the goods in China, the consignee receives the goods in Russia, and the rest of the intermediate links, including transportation, customs clearance, commodity inspection, etc., are all solved by the Russian company. The Customs Committee of the Russian Federation has also approved a number of "customs clearance companies" to carry out customs clearance procedures and collect taxes specifically for this trade. However, the problem is that some "customs clearance companies" do not issue formal customs declarations and tax bills to the owners of goods after the goods are cleared for tax evasion.
And in order to create conditions for these Russian customs clearance companies, the Russian customs has set up layers of obstacles to the normal entry and exit of the first movement, making the normal customs declaration process cumbersome to the point of disgusting. In fact, in many cases, the price paid for "gray customs clearance" is higher than that of normal customs entry, and only time is saved.
Russia's domestic economy is in recession and there is a serious shortage of daily necessities, while Huaxia's light industrial products have a very competitive advantage in Russia, which greatly meets the needs of ordinary Russian people for low-end goods. In order to transport goods into Russia in a timely manner, Chinese businessmen could only pinch their noses and adopt the method of "gray customs clearance". But this means that if these goods are confiscated by Russian customs, the merchants will be helpless. Of course, you have to pay huā money to bribe the Russian customs, and these goods can be fished out. This is the unspoken rule of trade between China and Russia
These customs clearance companies, controlled by local magnates or underworld people, together with the Russian customs, have wantonly exploited the wealth of Chinese merchants through such means, and they have made a lot of money one by one. At a time when the Russian economy is declining rapidly, their personal wealth has risen sharply.
These Russian customs clearance companies, which have been squeezed out of their living space, will naturally not sit idly by and watch their own territory being encroached upon by their opponents, but when they gather their own liliang and prepare to counterattack each other in various ways, the special police of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs will wipe them all out. Those with backgrounds were sternly warned not to do anything wrong against each other, while those with no background threw them all into the Far Eastern prison on all sorts of charges.
In just one week, two-thirds of the officials and nearly one-third of the staff of the three customs offices were purged. Of course, they are much happier than the unlucky ones in the company, only to be transferred, demoted, and fired. Only a handful of people were brought to court for dereliction of duty.
Since then, this Chinese-funded customs clearance company has mastered more than 70 percent of the import and export customs clearance business of the three customs. However, due to its transparent business, fair fees, and never evade taxes, the annual tax paid by the three Russian customs offices has increased significantly. And the Chinese businessmen are also very satisfied, not only because its customs clearance speed is not inferior to those "customs clearance" companies in Russia, but also because it can provide these Chinese businessmen with complete and valid customs declarations and tariff certificates, so that they do not have to worry about their goods after entering Russia.
It was also in the winter of this year that an enterprise from Moscow, Russia, Blizzard Power Machinery Company, officially submitted a request to the Ministry of Industry of Qinxi Province for a joint venture Qinxi rolling equipment factory. Although the leaders of the Ministry of Industry of Qinxi Province are very surprised, in today's declining Russian economy, there will still be Russian-funded enterprises to invest in China, and they have taken a fancy to the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, which is located inland and on the verge of bankruptcy, but for them, this is a rare opportunity to sell the big burden of Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory.
Although it is Russian-funded, it is also foreign-funded, and it is also a well-known place, and it can show off its political achievements, but they don't know that the ownership of this company, which is still nominally owned by Russians, has long been transferred to the hands of Aso Kazuki 100%.
Also in the autumn of that year, Russian businessmen in Moscow also witnessed an eye-catching merger and acquisition, Menajete Private Bank in just three months, one after another to acquire more than a dozen Russian factories and enterprises, the total assets of which once again increased significantly, one can't help but wonder where Khodorkovsky raised so much money to take these companies under his own name. You must know that these factories and enterprises are not state-owned enterprises that are sold cheaply, but they are all sī-run enterprises, and they are all enterprises with good economic conditions, and they can directly create profits when they are acquired
This result also made the Russians have stronger confidence in Menajep Private Bank, and the turnover of Menajep Private Bank has also increased significantly for a while.
On December 22, Russia's new draft constitution was adopted by parliament, a draft constitution for a presidential republic that gives the president supremacy and provides constitutional guarantees for the current Russian president to further control the situation in Russia.
Russia thus passed its 1993 year
