For Chen Mo, although these bigwigs in Russian politics are very powerful, everyone has their own weaknesses. Because they all have what they want, they are mentally prepared to exchange.

Putin is a ruthless man, but he has a lot of weaknesses, as long as he can grasp his psychological bottom line, any conditions can be discussed. Even Berezovsky, because of the contradiction with Putin, the original sin of capital in the past, now wants to wash his psychology, plus his desire to make money, Chen Mo can grasp a little bit of his thoughts.

But this Khodorvsky, whether it is Chen Mo or the unit, unanimously believes that this person has few weaknesses. Because this person seems to lack nothing, and thinks very highly of himself, and never likes to follow the rhythm of others.

So Chen Mo never thought about opening a gap from his body, except that the National Oil side was still in contact with him and maintained a crumbling friendship, Chen Mo never took the initiative to contact him.

Like Chen Mo is just an ordinary agent now, and the actual status of the other party is actually very far away, if he takes the initiative to find the door, if he is lucky, the other party will reward two sweet dates, and if he is unlucky, he will only eat the closed door.

But now that he took the initiative to find Chen Mo, of course Chen Mo would not give up this opportunity. No matter how tragic his fate is in the future, at least he is still a very weighty mountain now.

Asking Chen Mo to sit down in front of him, Khodorvsky asked straight to the point: "I can also accept the request to move the starting point from Angarsk to Tesshet, which is closer to the center of the oil field, because no matter where the starting point is, you will have to pass through Angarsk to reach China." But there are too many companies involved, how will the Chinese side guarantee the interests of our Yukos company? You know, this plan was first proposed by us, and our company and Petronas have spent countless manpower and financial resources on this plan. ”

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said: "Our Chinese side has a preliminary plan that is to make a statistic of the previous expenses of you and Petronas. This cost is then borne by all companies in proportion to their share. So, you don't have to worry about the previous expenses at all, we won't admit it. ”

But Khodorfsky was not satisfied, saying: "If this is the case, it will not be fair to us at Yukos, because this expense is not worth mentioning in relation to the future share." You only respected our material expenses, but did not respect the intellectual property aspects of our plan, and without our continuous development in previous years, the Russian-Chinese oil pipeline project would not have gotten a smooth start. It was we who pioneered this line of thinking, and it is we who have been fighting against the ideological and aging bureaucrats of the Duma. But now, you've taken over the whole market at once. ”

Chen Mo couldn't argue with him, so he could only say: "We respect any of your demands on this point, but we can't put pressure on other companies because of this, because we can't interfere in your domestic interest disputes." ”

"In other words, you are firmly in a neutral position, are you? Even if it's with a herd of pigs in the future? ”

Chen Mo raised the wine glass in his hand, gestured to him slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Khodorvsky, non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries is our unswerving policy. We can't change our style just because of a business plan. I think Petronas should have given you an affirmative answer on this point. It is in our mutual interest to seek a solution acceptable to all on the basis of the present and to take a long-term view. ”

He hesitated for two seconds. Picked up the wine glass and gestured to Chen Mo, took a sip of wine, and then laughed. "In fact, for Yukos, the Chinese side is not the only option. To know our other neighbor. Their domestic demand is no less than China's, and they are also rich enough to finance the construction of the pipeline. ”

Chen Mo was very disgusted by his coercion. Because this kind of coercion is too low-level. But Chen Mo could only smile and say: "I know that business is inherently free, and you have the right to cooperate with any customer." But as far as I know, Russian oil companies have only the right to produce, not export, and the power to export is firmly controlled by the Energy Commission and the pipeline companies in their own hands. Sir, if you want to break this blockade, the effort you need to make will not be easy. Although your company has received a lot of international praise due to its Western management model, I think you should not ignore the fact that most of Yukos's industries are located in Russia. ”

Chen Mo's counterattack made him smile, and he said with a deep groan: "You are indeed a very confident young man, in the past few years, you are the first person who can speak out in front of me like you." ”

"That's because I still have high expectations for working with my husband. And those who flatter in front of you are more likely to want to get benefits from you, or rather want you to be unlucky. ”

Yarejin looked at Chen Mo with some surprise, he didn't expect this young man to dare to be so straightforward. Since 98 years, after Khodorvsky led Yukos out of the predicament of the financial crisis and became one of the richest and most powerful people in Russia, there are really not many people who dare to speak out in front of him.

Although Khodorwski has a gentle tone and a gentle smile, everyone knows what a confident and proud person this person is, and how strong his heart is!

After the age of 35, he has entered another stage of his life, he has become a veritable controller, and no one can influence his decisions and violate his arrangements, otherwise he will suffer the heaviest blow.

Yarygin admitted that Chen Mo's identity background with the Chinese side makes him qualified to express his opinion in front of Khodorvsky. But if he wanted to use this to influence Khodorski's decision, then his calculation was wrong, and he was not afraid that he would suffer Khodorsky's wrath because of this?

Still maintaining a gentle tone, Khodorwski asked: "Do you really think that in the current situation, we Yukos are at a disadvantage?" ”

Chen Mo shook his head and said: "There is no so-called upper hand and lower advantage, business is the same as politics, it is an art of compromise." Only when interests are balanced can we gain wider recognition and support, and can we have more far-reaching significance. I've always believed that Yukos should have a major part of the plan, but Yukos can't share more at the expense of other collaborators, and I hope that our cooperation will be fair. ”

Khodorfsky laughed and said: "This world is not fair in the first place, and we in Yukos have more resources and more convenient conditions, so I don't think we should accept your so-called fairness." ”

Chen Mo nodded, and said without discouragement: "Yes, this point is also recognized by all of us, so we never think that Yukos's share should be equal to other companies, but should be more than others." But more, it should be negotiated and compromised with each other, and not by the Yukos family's forty percent share. ”

Khodorski took out his own cigarette and handed it to Chen Mo. He lit his cigarette, took a puff and asked, "Then what do you think is in line with our position?" In the last year, Yukos surpassed Lukoil to become the largest oil company in Russia. And we have resources in Eastern Siberia and the Far East that no other company can match, and under such convenient conditions, how much share should we get? ”

Chen Mo laughed, of course he would not give a direct result, because this is a political price. So he just tweeted and said: "This depends on the negotiation between Yukos and other companies, if your negotiators are competent, I won't be surprised to get a fifty percent share, and with Yukos's convenience in all aspects, I don't think any company will compete with you for the largest share." ”

Khodorvsky asked: "Won't even Boris be?" ”

Chen Mo nodded and said: "What Mr. Berezovsky values more is the personal role he can play in this cooperation, as well as the dominant position he is in, he has never thought of overpowering Yukos in this regard." ”

Khodorfsky nodded and said, "Okay, I already understand what you mean, and I will seriously consider your opinion." Here, I wish this cooperation plan can be implemented smoothly, and it will not be like my previous plan, which is still on paper after five years. ”

"Yes, sir, that's what I expected."

After ending the conversation with Chen Mo, Khodorvsky did not delay for too long, and after a brief casual chat with each guest, he first said goodbye to Chen Mo and left.

Chen Mo, as the master, didn't have much time to pay attention to him alone. The representative of every company needs to be taken care of by him, even if he will not discuss any specific matters, at least he must be familiar. So, for one night, he kept walking around the crowd.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that the guests had already left, and Chen Mo felt that he was dying of hunger. Although there was a lot of food on the scene, he didn't have time to taste it. One night, you can only rely on drinking a little red wine to cushion your stomach. But he was afraid that getting drunk would affect his thinking, so he didn't dare to drink too much alcohol.

So after the guests left, Chen Mo couldn't be reserved anymore, so he called Ko Yelina, who had been waiting for him upstairs all night, sat down with him, and began to feast.

Berezovsky couldn't help but laugh when he saw him gobbling up. "I really envy your youth, like I don't have such a good appetite anymore."

Chen Mo smiled: "That's because Mr.'s gains in other aspects are enough to meet your needs!" ”

When Berezovsky heard this, he paused and laughed. (To be continued.) )
