May in Moscow, lukewarm, can be considered the most beautiful season here. Although there is still congestion here, because of the large forests around the city, the air here is still much better than in the capital.

Chen Mo arrived in Moscow this time, and immediately visited Medvedev, who had just been nominated as chairman of Gazprom, and had an open and honest communication with him about the plan for the oil pipeline.

Although Medvedev has been nominated to become Gazprom's chairman, responsible for managing Russia's largest conglomerate, his position as deputy chief of presidential staff has not been removed, and he still has wide influence in the Kremlin.

And Berezovsky's recent days have not been easy, because the major media have started a new round of attacks against the domestic oligarchy. Chen Mo didn't know that this was a play he played with Putin, and comforted him.

However, after he took the initiative to hand over $360 million in compensation to the Russian government, he was nominated as the deputy secretary general of the Russian Energy Commission.

Because of his initiative to compensate for the difference in the price of the Siberian oil company in the process of public-to-private transfer, he subsequently became a representative of conscientious entrepreneurs in Russia. At the same time, the storm of public opinion is directed at the other oligarchs.

With him taking the lead, Abu did the same, making up for the difference of $420 million in the original purchase price of the Siberian Oil Company. At the same time, a large number of small oligarchs followed behind them, offering huge sums of money to compensate for their original sin of accumulating wealth.

But at the same time, some big oligarchs who think highly of themselves have also been suppressed by Putin's government, the most famous example being Smolenssky and Gusinsky.

Gusinsky was also of Jewish descent and was very shrewd. In 1989, he formed Bridge Bank, taking advantage of the depreciation of the ruble. Cooperation with Western forces made a big profit. In 1993, he set his sights on the media industry, financed the opening of a new channel on Russia's independent television station, and later bought 77 percent of the station's shares at a cabbage price. Subsequently, he took control of the weekly newspapers "Today" and "Seven Days", acquired the famous "Voice of Moscow" radio station, and co-founded the weekly "Summary" with the Americans.

In '95, Gusinski became a media tycoon with a personal fortune of $400 million. And now, according to conservative estimates. His fortune also reached $2 billion.

But because of his close ties to Western society, he has also become Putin's main target. When Chen Mo was still in Switzerland, the Moscow police forcibly searched Gusinsky's "Media-Bridge" group, and now his movements have been restricted.

But Chen Mo knew that after he was in prison for three days, he began his life in exile while he was released on bail pending trial. Although Russia issued a warrant through Interpol, Spain rejected Russia's extradition request after he was arrested in Spain. Release him.

Later, Gusinski was arrested again in Greece, but the Greek police also released him. After that, Gusinsky no longer dared to wander around and lived in seclusion in Israel. Live a life like a year.

Smolensky, on the other hand, was accused of taking advantage of the bank's foreign exchange trading facilities to cooperate with Western companies and speculate on foreign exchange. Inflicted huge losses on the Russian economy. The Russians, having frozen most of his wealth, opened up on him and gave him the opportunity to hide in Austria. The rest of your life.

As for Khodorvsky, who is now the richest man in Russia, he did not collude too much with Western companies, but he put too much pressure on Putin in the political field. However, the Yukos oil company he controls is one of the largest oil companies in Russia, and Putin has not directly attacked him without a good excuse.

Without Chen Mo, Berezovsky would have been Putin's main target, but now he is out of danger and is still active in the Russian economy.

Therefore, his current attitude towards Chen Mo is quite respectful, and in Gusinsky's body, he has seen another ending for himself. If there was no Chen Mo, he might also be trying to sell his assets and prepare for absconding.

It was also for this reason that when Chen Mo wanted to use his club to hold a reception, he readily agreed, and was willing to help Chen Mo pay for the hospitality this time.

Saturday, May 20. After two days of preparation, Chen Mo made his first official appearance in Moscow. With Berezovsky's help, he sent invitations to Russia's top 10 oil companies, oil pipeline companies, shipping companies, energy committees, as well as relevant deputies of the Russian Duma.

At the same time, he also sent invitation letters to the representatives of CNPC and Petronas in Moscow, the embassy in Russia and other relevant departments, and officially launched the corresponding public relations activities.

I have to say that Chen Mo's borrowing action at the beginning was still very in place, and various companies on the Russian side knew about Chen Mo from different channels and knew his identity as an agent.

Even if they don't care about Chen Mo's Sinopec background or government background, they will care about Chen Mo's friendly personal relationship with Berezovsky and his closeness to the Kremlin. Therefore, Chen Mo's invitation letter was sent out and received a positive response, many of them were the top leaders of the company, and the major shareholders attended the meeting in person.

Although many people in China don't know much about Chen Mo's situation, they have more or less heard of him as a person, and they are also very curious about his ability to open up the situation in Russia, and they all responded positively to this reception.

From five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Mo was at the gate of the club, welcoming batches of guests. Accompanied by Joseph, Chen Mo also had an intuitive understanding of all the objects he knew about in the materials.

When it was almost half past six, another convoy came into the courtyard, and when the handsome and dashing Khodorvsky got out of the car, Chen Mo greeted him with a little seriousness.

Khodorvsky, who is also Jewish, is just 37 years old this year, but he is now one of the most powerful and wealthy people in Russia. His highest ranking in the Forbes list was created last year, seventh in the world, and the richest man in Russia.

If Chen Mo didn't have the memory of Lang Yufu, such a character would be a figure for him. Because he thought that he could not have achieved such a huge fortune in ten years despite all his efforts.

Throughout the history of Khodorvsky, Chen Mo can clearly see that such a person has been the kind of object of envy since he was born. The family is superior, the life is rich, the academic performance is excellent, and the career is smooth. Coupled with his huge ambition and dense network of connections, his life has already stepped into the pinnacle of life at a very young age.

Chen Mo is willing to deal with people like Berezovsky, because Berezovsky is an old-fashioned figure. Their generation has experienced a lot of setbacks, is able to listen to other people's opinions, and has a less aggressive attitude.

But Khodorski is a difficult person to be impressed, and his thinking has long been fixed, because according to his own thinking, he has become a person standing at the top of the pyramid.

This is evident in the fact that he has supported many politicians who are not as good as him, in his decision to run in the presidential election, and in his current tough boycott of the interests of other oil companies to carve up the Sino-Russian pipeline with Yukos.

Chen Mo can use benefits and risks to impress Berezovsky, but these are completely useless to Khodorvsky, because he is confident that he will face any difficulties and solve any difficulties.

Hodolfsky was the most handsome Jew Chen Mo had ever seen, he was tall and well-looking, and a pair of rimless gold-rimmed glasses added a bit of elegance to him.

"Hello, Mr. Khodorwski, it is a great honour to have you with me."

His attitude was very kind, he stretched out his hand and shook Chen Mo gently, and said with a smile: "When my cooperation with PetroChina was stopped, I was full of interest in Mr. Chen. I was amazed to be able to have a wide influence in China, to be able to maintain such a close relationship with Berezovsky in Russia, and to be a young man who was only 24 years old. ”

Chen Mo felt that whether he was speaking, walking, or posture, it was as if he had been trained. makes Chen Mo feel like he is out of the picture, just like watching Andy Lau's posture in the movie, it seems that everything seems to be perfect, but the posture of the performance is always a little contrived.

Chen Mo said with a smile: "Retracting the fist is to strike more powerfully, and temporarily interrupting the plan is for a greater plan." It shows that although the cooperation project with Petronas is already a far-sighted plan, it is far from enough for China. ”

"I've learned some of the plans you've put forward now, and the increase in pipe diameter can indeed increase the designed transportation capacity, but the difference between 30 million tons and 50 million is not very big. It's not a good idea to increase the capacity of 20 million tons in the future, but to interrupt the plan that we have been preparing for four years. ”

"In fact, our demand in the future will even increase to more than 80 million tons, but before the plan is formally negotiated, we just come up with a slightly more conservative plan," Chen Mo explained. Moreover, I think Mr. is also very clear that the biggest obstacle to your plan with Petronas is not us, but the Russian side, and the pipeline from Angarsk, although it can become a new engine for Yukos, does not take into account the interests of other companies on the Russian side. We are doing this precisely to reduce the resistance we face. (To be continued.) )
