Recently. There are a lot of things about cows... One

Before Fan Wuxian left, in fact, there were some extremely subtle changes in Sino-Russian economic and trade relations, and during the period when Fan Wuxian went to Africa, Sino-Russian economic and trade relations deteriorated sharply. All of a sudden, there were even rumors that Sino-Russian relations were about to take a major turn, and the top brass was very uneasy about such a change.

"Not long ago, the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation's bid for the auction of Russia's Slavic Oil Company was blocked, the long-brewing Sino-Russian oil pipeline was delayed for a long time, and the purchase of Hyundai-class destroyers and Su-13 aircraft was repeatedly postponed due to the struggle of interest groups within Russia. There are some in both countries who are pessimistic about the prospects for Sino-Russian relations. Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxian nodded, at present, Sino-Russian economic and trade relations are undergoing an important structural transformation, and China's exports to Russia last year were 5.3 billion US dollars. Imports from Russia are eighty-nine billion dollars, and according to estimates. The bilateral trade volume between China and Russia will exceed $15 billion this year, a record high.

It is worth noting that over the past few years, the economic and trade achievements between China and Russia have been achieved under the condition that bilateral commodity and personnel exchanges between China and Russia have been interrupted for a time.

Although the two sides continue to have disputes and frictions, they have been accompanied by an increase in trade volume, which also shows that the outstanding feature of the current Sino-Russian economic and trade relations is the growth of frictions.

Friction is the friction of the transformation of trade structure and mode, and growth is the growth of deepening economic and trade cooperation.

Being able to clearly understand the characteristics of the current Sino-Russian economic and trade relations is an important condition for ensuring the continuous deepening and healthy development of bilateral cooperation, especially when encountering frictions, we should face them with a calm mind, communicate in a timely manner to solve them, and increase the transformation of Sino-Russian trade with a forward-looking vision. This is a rational choice to promote the continuous deepening of the Sino-Russian strategic cooperative relationship.

It is precisely because Fan Wuxian knows this very well. So he didn't pay much attention to these changes.

Summarizing the history of Sino-Russian economic and trade relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it can be clearly seen that the current Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation is undergoing an important structural transformation: the mode of cooperation has transitioned from simple trade to mutual investment and technical cooperation; The scale of cooperation has been transformed from piecemeal to bulk trading; The main body of cooperation was upgraded from the guerrillas to the regular army.

In the process of this important qualitative change, many unprecedented problems have arisen: the transformation of the mode of cooperation has made the simple barter or cash payment method used in the past "to the master trade" a thing of the past, and the practice of conforming to the norms of international trade practices is becoming the main mode of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation; The change in the main body of cooperation means that large companies and enterprises in China and Russia are becoming the main body of Sino-Russian economic and trade relations. It is impossible for the entry of these giant ships of enterprises not to set off greater waves in the Sino-Russian economic and trade lake, and it is impossible not to produce some problems that are impossible to arise during the period of trade between the two countries.

The shift in the scale of cooperation means that a joint project often involves important economic areas and strategic interests of China and Russia. This makes it impossible for the two countries not to adopt a more rational, pragmatic, and prudent attitude on some strategic projects.

There is also a very important issue, which is the two factors that deserve attention in Russia, interest groups and local forces.

At present and for some time to come, energy and military industry are the most important aspects of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation. And in these two areas. Any partnership is more than just a business. Russian interest groups, with large enterprises at the core, are increasingly becoming the main body of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation. The impact on bilateral economic and trade exhibitions is gradually rising.

The corporate behavior of Russian interest groups and state policy interact with each other, and government decisions cannot be made without taking into account the ideas of interest groups, which in turn try to influence the country's foreign policy more.

The impact of interest groups on Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation is twofold: on the one hand, Russian interest groups have actively participated in Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation due to huge business opportunities, which has promoted the upgrading of the bilateral economic and trade structure. On the other hand, because the cooperation between interest groups and China is still in the run-in period, their complex mentality of cooperation with China and the conflict of interests between them often affect the fish in the pond, which to a certain extent restricts the advancement of certain Sino-Russian cooperation projects.

Since coming to power, Putin has paid special attention to the development of the Far East and Eastern Siberia, regarding them as an important part of safeguarding Russia's territorial integrity and national security. The Security Council of the Russian Federation and the Working Conference of the Government of the Russian Federation have repeatedly discussed the issues of the Far East and Eastern Siberian Exhibition.

Under this abandonment, the Far East and Eastern Siberia have also risen in the foreign policy-making mechanism, especially in China-related decision-making.

On the one hand, they hope to increase economic and trade cooperation with China to promote regional economic cooperation; On the other hand, they often want to use China as a bargaining chip to maximize their interests in bargaining with the Central Committee of the Russian Federation and in economic cooperation with other countries in Northeast Asia.

At present, the local security forces in the Far East and Siberia mainly influence their decision-making on China through direct work with Putin and other high-level Russian leaders, and through the Security Council, the State Council, and the Federation Council.

"Despite a series of differences and frictions in the field of economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia, the two sides have made many important progresses. On a deeper level, differences and frictions are superficial, even exaggerated and hyped, while progress is tangible. Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi, "Taking energy cooperation as an example, despite repeated delays in relevant decisions, the Russian side still made a commitment to increase oil exports to China through railways." At this year's regular meeting of the Chinese and Russian prime ministers. The two sides decided to transport about 5 million tons of oil by rail in the next three years, and gradually reach an annual supply of 15 million tons in the future. Personally, I believe that what is important to the Chinese side is not the direction of the oil pipeline in Russia, but the oil that will be obtained in full and on schedule without increasing the cost to the Chinese side.

Boss Zhu's meaning is very clear, in the process of China-Russia economic and trade facing important transformation and quality improvement, differences and frictions are inevitable, the key is how to solve these frictions with reason, wisdom, courage and patience, and promote the successful transformation and continuous deepening of China-Russia economic and trade cooperation. In this regard. As a leader at the top, there is clearly a lot to do.

Fan Wuxian knew very well that it was unlikely that Boss Zhu would come over to him just to say such a few words. There must be something to borrow from yourself, so it's very simple,

"We need you to go to Russia. Figure out the doorway through personal relationships. And then work out the corresponding countermeasures, according to our intelligence, this time Putin seems to have encountered some problems, a little unable to suppress these opposition forces, so there will be so many economic and trade frictions in the near future. Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi.

"Hmm, that's the case," Fan Wuxian frowned.

Fan Wuxian has always attached great importance to Sino-Russian relations, otherwise it would not be possible to lend Putin so much money for Russia's domestic economy, in fact, under the premise of the rapid rise of American power. China's best foreign policy is to draw Russia closer to the U.S. threat.

And Putin is well aware of this, so he welcomes aid from Western countries, but stays away from conditional aid. This is also the reason why he borrowed money from Fan Wuxi's private consortium, and this time, it is obvious that there are some pro-Western forces in Russia who are having trouble with him, consciously undermining the smooth economic and trade relations between China and Russia, so as to hit Putin's economic power and pave the way for the next Russian presidential election.

Therefore, this time, Boss Zhu entrusted Fan Wuxian to go to Russia to meet Putin in a private capacity, in fact, he hoped to express China's support for Putin, and reiterate the importance of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, as well as some economic assistance that Fan Wuxian could provide to Putin.

Fan Wuxian figured this out, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, if he passed this time, it would naturally be good to be able to help Putin, and it was impossible for the other party not to reciprocate and give himself some tangible benefits in return, but the government did not pull out a dime, which was also wrong.

After all, he is just a businessman, and he is not obliged to bear this burden, especially since it is impossible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on his own to settle the situation on the Russian side.

After Boss Zhu said the situation, he kept paying attention to Fan Wuxi's expression, and now Fan Wuxian was a little hesitant, and he didn't give a positive answer for a while, which is a very strange thing.

Fan Wuxian was indeed hesitating in his heart. The key question is not how difficult this matter is, but because his affairs in Africa are not over yet, he can't just swallow his anger so much, after all, no one can trick him Fan Zong, and it will never be.

"What's the embarrassing weighbridge" Boss Zhu asked Fan Wuxian, "Or is it because I'm about to step down, and it's useless to speak?" ”

"That's nonsense" Fan Wuxi immediately laughed, and then told Boss Zhu about buying a mine in Africa.

After listening to Fan Wuxi's explanation, Boss Zhu knew that there was such a thing specifically for Chinese investors overseas, and he couldn't help but feel very emotional, in addition to saying that he wanted to meet the old overseas Chinese and thank him. At the same time, he also told Fan Wuxian that he asked the ambassador to return to China to report on his work.

"When something like this happened, the embassy didn't even know about it, and there were important people in the country, and their services didn't keep up, and they didn't even have a hint of the local security situation. This is excessive. "Boss Zhu's attitude towards this matter is relatively clear.

It can be expected that there will be no good fruit to eat after the ambassador comes back, after all, Boss Zhu is a well-known iron-faced person, and he started to do it. It can be described as scolding his grandson, and Fan Wuxian couldn't help but mourn for three seconds for the hapless ambassador.

However, he is very much in favor of Boss Zhu's decision, even if we are still a weak country now, but in his position, you can't do anything else, and all aspects of intelligence information must always be collected a little, right?

Could it be that the government sent you there just so that you could live in a villa overseas and see free man-eating lions and elephants?

Of course, Fan Wuxian knows very well that Boss Zhu's move is actually not without a gesture of goodwill to him, didn't you say that you went to Africa and felt very angry? Then I'll give you a breath and let you balance your heart.

From this point of view, Fan Wuxi is more grateful for Boss Zhu's decision, but he has another abacus in his heart, and the matter over there cannot be solved by criticizing the ambassador. He still needs to plan and then take down the other party's mine.

No matter what method or channel, this set goal must be achieved, and in addition to giving himself a breath of relief, the huge income expectation of the mine is also the main driving force to attract Fan Wuxian to invest there.

After all, the identified titanium-iron hybrid ore has a value of tens of billions of dollars that can be mined. In addition, there are many similar mines that can be mined, and Fan Wuzhi is almost certain that the total value of the iron ore that is easy to mine there is at least hundreds of billions of dollars, which is a treasure land!

So, Jiang Wuxian said to Boss Zhu. "I can go to Russia, and I can mediate things on my behalf. However, I would like to know how much influence we have over African countries. ”

After listening to Fan Wuxi's affirmative reply, Boss Zhu was very happy, but when he heard Fan Wuxian ask about his influence on African countries, he was a little surprised, and he immediately thought that Fan Wuxian was probably very dissatisfied with the fraud he had received in Africa and wanted to have follow-up crackdowns.

After thinking about it for a while, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi, "Our influence on Africa is actually still very large, but you have to know something." In some small African countries, politics and economics are often relatively disconnected. ”

"As long as you get it right, there's no problem on the government side." Fan Wuxian immediately said when he heard this.

Fan Wuxian has now made up his mind to get back face in Africa. Especially the mines with huge profits, which are the targets that must be fought over.

It is conceivable that if the African Mineral Plan is realized, the problem of the country's mineral scarcity will be immediately and significantly reversed. It will even have a profound impact on the international ore market, which in turn will make a huge difference in the allocation of resources in the world.

In any case, the African mines must be taken down.
