Berezovsky leaned back in his wide seat, his face obscured by the smoke of his cigar, and after a while he said: "Of course, this is what I have invited you here for. When you get to where you are, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for us to have a conversation like that. And some words, only when we say them with our own mouths, will not lead to our misunderstanding because of the mistakes of the messengers. ”

Putin calmly said: "I also agree to cherish such an opportunity." Remember when we used to drink vodka together in the dormitories of St. Petersburg University and talk about state affairs? At that time, we didn't have any money, in fact, I don't have much money now, and you have become the richest person in the country. At that time, you wanted to become the world's most famous and rich man, and I wanted to bring Russia back to its rise. Now, you've done it, and I'm still working on it. ”

Berezovsky laughed and said: "All along, I considered myself more capable than you, and even in front of you, I had a huge psychological advantage. But last year, this Evan Chen, who came here today, told me a story that made me realize how dangerous my situation is now. ”

"Is it a story about Lü Buwei?"

Berezovsky sat up straight all of a sudden, lying on the table and looking at Putin. However, seeing Putin's calm face, he himself was deflated first. I thought about cleaning up my bodyguard team, but I didn't feel necessary.

Putin added: "After all, you are only a peripheral member of the KGB, and I have worked in it for twenty years, so I still have a little more advantage than you in terms of information sources." I'm not trying to show off anything in front of you, I'm just trying to tell you that I cherish our friendship. So I won't use this method against you, you are a friend who deserves my respect. ”

"Tell me, then, what would you do to me if I insisted on going my own way?"

"I will give you enough time to leave Russia with your assets."

"That's magnanimous." Berezovsky smiled, unable to tell whether it was sarcasm or sincerity.

Putin did not care about his tone and said: "Well, now can you tell me, what is your choice?" ”

Berezovsky was silent for a while before he said: "You know who I am. There is not much ambition for power. So, my choice is business. ”

Putin nodded this time and said, "It's the same as I thought." Boris, since we are sitting together openly and honestly, I will also tell you some of my conditions directly. ”

"Of course, I'm listening."

"Since you have chosen business, then I want you to withdraw from all political interference, the two states you control, even if not biased in my favor. You can't continue to oppose me. ”

"Of course, you continue."

"And your bank and TV station, I hope to be able to actively cooperate with my work."

"Rest assured, Vladimir. Politically, you have always been the politician I admire the most. ”

"There is one last request, that is, I will clean up some cases of embezzlement of state-owned assets in the process of public to private ownership that have a relatively large repercussion in the society, and I hope to get your support. Although it will allow you to make up some of the difference that you once made. But I will also give you more opportunities so that you can make more money in the future. ”

Having heard Putin's conditions, Berezovsky finally decided. Putin did have a complete plan for dealing with himself, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of happiness and fear.

He thought for a moment and said: "This backlash with Maskhadov will definitely cause him to be dissatisfied with me, and I hope to be more closely protected." ”

"Of course, you are my friend, and I will not put you in a dangerous situation. But I hope that you will gradually reduce your contacts with several mafia organizations in the South, most of whom were once our colleagues, but who have now become a source of confusion with no faith at all. ”

"I can pay the difference when I need to, but I want to be a shareholder of Yukos in the future."

"Yukos......" Putin hesitated, but nodded. But in the future, only state-owned companies can become major shareholders, and private shareholders will not be allowed to hold the lion's share. ”

"Is this your future business arrangement?"

"This is what the state needs, and if we want to reduce the deficit, the government has to have more sources of funding."

"So what do I get? It's just a part of the shares, and you don't have a say at all? ”

Putin asked rhetorically: "Isn't it enough to be one of the richest people in the world?" ”

Berezovsky smiled: "Vladimir, you know, I am always not satisfied with the status quo and do not like to go at the pace of others. So, I hope to get a position in the Energy Commission in the future, a position in charge of business. ”

Putin thought about it for a while before he said: "If this is the case, I want you to hand over control of other industries to state-owned companies in the future." For example, your newspaper, your TV station, and your bank. ”

This time it was Berezovsky's turn to hesitate, but he quickly made a decision. "I can transfer out newspapers and TV stations at a reasonable price, but the bank, I still need it for the time being."

Putin also valued television and newspaper offices, and when he heard him say this, he laughed. "Of course, I've always been very generous with my friends. Boris, may our friendship always remain. He offered to hold out his hand.

Berezovsky shook his hand and said: "I will need your care in the future." ”

And downstairs, Chen Mo was not left out for too long, and after a while, the young official who had been told by Putin walked up to Chen Mo, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Dmitry. Anatolyevich. Medvedev. ”

His English was very standard, so Chen Mo could easily distinguish his surname, and the name Medvedev quickly evoked memories in his heart. Lang Yufu's shattered memory does not have Medvedev's appearance, but the addition of this name on this occasion has already represented everything.

For a moment, Chen Mo couldn't believe that the young official standing opposite would serve as the president of this country in eight years! He even wondered if Lang Yufu's memory could be mistaken.

"Hello, just call me Evan. Nice to meet you. ”

He handed Chen Mo a business card, but unfortunately, Chen Mo didn't know anything about Russian and didn't know what the other party's current position was. He also hurriedly handed his business card to the other party, and his business card was much more professional, because it was specially printed for coming to Russia, so the front was Chinese and the back was Russian.

After taking Chen Mo's business card, he looked at it and said: "I am currently working in the President's Office, and I hope to have more opportunities to communicate more on some business issues in the future." ”

"Sir's words are serious, I have just entered this industry, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn from him in the future. I can be reached at any time on the above number, and I look forward to your call no matter what time it is. ”

He smiled and said: "As far as I know, this cooperation between Siberian Oil Company and PetroChina is what you actively promoted. Is this because of your personal relationship with Berezovsky, or is it because you are optimistic about the Russian-Chinese energy deal? ”

"There are two reasons, Mr. Bu said that the main reason why I went to Russia this time was not because of my previous cooperation with Siberian Oil."

finally found this opportunity, whether the other party is the future president and prime minister in Lang Yufu's memory, he must first pull this relationship. Just because he is a staff member of Putin's office, Chen Mo also feels that he is credible.

The other party really became interested, and said with a smile: "Can I have the honor to invite you to sit next to you?" I'm particularly interested in your purpose. ”

"Of course, because this plan requires the active cooperation of the Russian side, although it needs to be kept secret for the time being, it is clear that Mr. is not a person within the scope of secrecy."

"Why?"

"Because this plan can not only actively promote Russia's energy export plan, but also stimulate Russia's economic development and labor demand. I think President Putin will be very interested in this plan. ”

"When you say this, I'm even more interested, please rest assured, I'll remember the words, and I won't leak them out at will."

In the corner of the hall, the two of them sat down, and Chen Mo also told him his plan as it was.

After listening to Chen Mo's introduction, he said frankly: "Please forgive me for my shortcomings in business, I want to make one thing clear, what is the difference between the plan you are proposing now and the oil pipeline plan proposed by Petronas and Yukos?" ”

"Let's analyze it with a few simple comparisons. First, Yukos' current plan is to use a pipe diameter of 60 centimeters, and the maximum transportation capacity is only 30 million tons, while our plan is to use a pipe diameter of 80 centimeters, and the maximum transportation capacity can reach more than 10 million tons. More volume means more companies can participate, and higher revenue from export taxes and fees. The starting point of the second Anda line is Angarsk, which is the oil area of Yukos, and other companies that want to join this plan are constrained by transportation, and the current volume of the Russian eastern pipeline is too small to be used. The starting point of our project is located 400 kilometers away in Tesshet, where the Trans-Siberian Railway meets the South Siberian Railway and the Baia Railway, and is as close as possible to the undeveloped oil fields of East Siberia and Yakutia, which is equivalent to benefiting more oil companies. ”

"It's going to take a lot of money, isn't it?"

"This is not a bother of the Russian government, we can provide you with a loan, or we can directly offset the borrowing with future oil supplies. And we can also guarantee that the Russian side will have a larger share in this construction process. (To be continued.) )
