Chapter 111 Second Half on
(Thank you for the reward of the brothers who invigorated the review of the day after tomorrow, as well as your monthly pass, subscription, thank you.) )
Karina originally just wanted to use Chen Mo and Nastya as a bargaining chip to attract Berezovsky's attention, but after listening to their conversation today, she also began to really pay attention to this little person she originally thought was for the first time.
In the past few years of following Berezovsky, she has not seen other people say big things in front of him, but one opponent after another has been suppressed by him, and one subordinate after another has been conquered by him. What's more, although what Chen Mo said is only based on speculation, it has something to say. She knows very well that the Putin that Berezovsky is supporting now is not a simple person.
Even before he became prime minister, Berezovsky was expelled from the KGB, which was considered his domain and no one was allowed to get a foot in it. Now that Putin has not only become prime minister, but also has the greatest possibility of becoming the next president, for the sake of power struggle, I don't know how many contradictions will arise in the future.
But Berezovsky has no other choice, in order not to confiscate the wealth he has accumulated over the years, and in order for him to remain influential in Russian politics, he can only support Putin and no one else.
Now the two major rivals competing with Putin, Primakov has made it clear that he wants to crack down on the oligarchs and liquidate everything inside the process of privatization of Russia's state assets. And the other opponent, Zyuganov, wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union, and their blows against these oligarchs will be even more intense.
Only Putin, because his rise in the political arena has not been long and his background is smaller than that of his two opponents, can only rely on the trust of President Yeltsin and the support of their oligarchs. to win the election.
Although the general direction is the same, the contradictions between Putin and Berezovsky have already arisen. It would be nice if Berezovsky was willing to take a step back, but he still wants to control all the power as before, and he doesn't even take Putin, who he has single-handedly supported, in his eyes, thinking that he can support him and knock him into the dust again.
Chen Mo's words were a bit intense. But it really touched his heart, and Karina knew that if Berezovsky really listened to Chen Mo's persuasion, then this young man would also occupy a prominent position in his empire in the future, at least, a seat in a think tank was indispensable. In this way, the young man's role is much more than just being Nasya's backup lover.
It wasn't until after eating, when Berezovsky wiped his mouth, that he said, "Evan." What you just said touched me very much, and I would love to hear how an outsider views my relations with Russia. Would you like to talk to me, an old man, for a little longer? ”
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Of course, sir, you have always been my idol, and I also want to be a person like you, so." The opportunity to learn from you is also something I desire. ”
"Come with me." He smiled. The first stood up, looked at his watch, and said, "Tell Ivan to prepare the convoy in an hour, and also arrange a car for our Evan to use during his time in England." He glanced at Chen Mo again and said, "You can also prepare a room for him in the house, I think my Nadya is also willing to be able to see him often." ”
Karina nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”
Nastya pushed away the loose food she had messed with in front of her. "I want to go to a bar...... Evan, will you take me? ”
Berezovsky's request for this daughter was always difficult to refuse, so he simply pushed it on Chen Mo. "Then it depends on whether Evan Ken will take you there, and we will talk about everything when we go downstairs, okay?"
Chen Mo rejected her once, and let her relapse from her old illness. I really can't grasp the proportions of interacting with her, for fear that my refusal will make her serious again. He had no choice but to nod and say, "Then you go change your clothes now, and when I finish talking to your father, we will go to London to play." ”
Berezovsky nodded at him, and Chen Mo hurriedly followed him to the second floor. "Before this afternoon, I never thought I would be interested in the words of a young Chinese man," he said. ”
Although Berezovsky is a Russian, he is also a Jew, so not only is he not as strong as a Russian, but he is very short. Chen Mo's height is less than 1.8 meters, and he is half a head taller than him. On the contrary, Nastya is very tall, which should be with her mother.
Chen Mo met his gaze, and looked down slightly, but he never had a sense of superiority in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Before I met Nasjia, I didn't expect that I would be able to connect with an internationally famous business tycoon. I have always believed that there is no interest between us, and this may be the basis for us to be able to get along as equals. ”
"Is there really no interest at all?"
Chen Mo immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and changed his words and said, "Of course, after meeting Mr., I now have two immature ideas. ”
"Two ......" Berezovsky couldn't help laughing, pushed open a door to a room on the second floor, and said: "You are really greedy! He is not afraid of Chen Mo's request, Chen Mo has asked him, so he can trust Chen Mo more, if Chen Mo doesn't ask for anything, he won't listen to any of his words at all.
This is the study that is least like a study, except for a desk that proves the function of the study, not a single piece of paper or book can be seen in the whole room. He sat down at the desk and asked Chen Mo to sit down in front of him. "I only bought this house this year, and I just used it as a vacation place, so this house is almost the first time I've come in. Want to drink something? ”
"Whatever."
He rang the pager on the table, let two cups of coffee in, and placed an ashtray between the two people, and then said slowly, "Tell me, after seeing me, what do you want?" ”
Chen Mo knew that only if he had something to ask for him could he trust him more. "The first thing is business, at the moment Yukos is negotiating cooperation with Petronas on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, but I think that this cooperation is absolutely impossible, and I think we can also develop another plan, a plan that is in the interests of most people," he said. ”
Berezovsky frowned and said: "You are just an ordinary employee, don't you think that this program is beyond the scope of what you can participate in?" ”
Chen Mo nodded and said, "It's true that I may not play much of a role in this matter, but my godfather is a senior leader of CNPC, and he is fully capable of promoting this plan." ”
"So how do you judge that Yukos's negotiations with Petronas cannot be realized? And as far as I know, CNPC's sphere of influence should be concentrated in the south of China, the western Xinjiang oil fields on the border with Russia, and the Heida oil fields in the northeast are all under the control of CNPC. ”
"Although CNPC and Petronas are two companies, they were one company a year ago, so in many ways, they can also work together. The key is who is leading the way. ”
"I get it, it's a good thing for both sides, and I have no reason to object to it. Now you can tell me what your basis is. ”
Chen Mo laughed and said: "In fact, from a commercial point of view, this matter is beneficial to both sides, but from a political point of view, this cooperation is something that the Russian government will not agree to." Yukos' Khodorkovsky is so assertive that he wants to use economic means to force the Kremlin into submission, which has not worked in the past, and will not be possible in the future. Putin's past experience has created his strong and uncompromising character, and it is destined that this pipeline can only be passed with the support of the government, and it is impossible to build the Sino-Russian oil pipeline with Yukos alone. ”
Berezovsky nodded and asked, "Did your godfather tell you these things?" ”
Chen Mo had been prepared for this question, nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, we often discuss this topic at home, he sees the situation at the top more clearly than me, and my attention is more on the economic field. ”
"So, if I continue like this, I will not die well, and your godfather will see it?"
"Mostly because of him."
"I think I'll definitely meet him and talk to him when I have the chance."
Chen Mo said with a smile: "Fortunately, the contradiction between you and President Putin has not completely broken out, if you give up your political demands now and only focus on the economy, you will continue to be brilliant." ”
He smiled and said: "Vladimir was picked by me, and no one knows him better than me." I think you exaggerate his abilities and underestimate mine. ”
"If Sir continues to be obsessed, there is nothing I can do, after all, even if you are imprisoned, it will have no effect on us."
He laughed, "Prison...... Do you really think I'm going to get to that point? ”
Chen Mo said with a smile: "Of course, you can also sell your assets at a low price, and go into exile abroad while he hasn't put you in prison yet." But at that time, you are destined to become a rootless person for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to return to your homeland until you die. ”
"Does your Wisdom really think so?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Without the Conspiracy, everything now is something that my godfather and I often study at home. I can only tell you that there is no conspiracy, no exploitation, only cooperation and win-win. ”
"And how do I trust you?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "We can't confirm what hasn't happened in the future. But I can promise you that if we have cooperation, all of it will be economic. (To be continued......)
