Friedman raised his head, smiled at Aldridge across from him, and said.

"Yes, I think, we can get started."

Now that the other party has shown enough sincerity and strength, there is no need to get to the bottom of it, and the negotiations can continue, and the most important thing is that the bargaining chip in the other party's hand is the Yukos Petroleum Company.

You must know that the old guy Podanov has been vigorously advocating recently, and the construction of the Tana line can only be handed over to the top five oil companies in Russia, and as for the non-influential oil companies like Yukos, they can be completely abandoned.

What the hell did he have in mind, an oil tycoon like Friedman, of course, knew everything, poor old fellow Potanov, he didn't even know that he had unknowingly provoked such a strong enemy.

Since the other party was able to take down the Yukos Oil Cemetery without anyone knowing, this shows the extraordinary strength of the other party, and it seems that these guys are not good men and women.

"I think Mr. Friedman knows why we found you, right?"

Aldridge on the other side tentatively asked Friedman, who of course knew very well, but he did not eagerly express his thoughts.

Aldridge saw that Friedman did not answer himself, and did not wait for him to say anything, and then continued.

"The Tanner line is a big piece of fat, everyone wants a piece of the pie, and they all want their own interests to be maximized in this construction, but some people always think that they are landlords and can ignore the interests of others, which is absolutely not allowed in modern business competition."

Aldridge's words, Friedman felt very agreed, his BP-Tyumen chalk division had long planned to expand eastward, but due to Podanov's resistance, it has been difficult for them to go further east.

Podanov's old chalk was associated with the natives of Eastern Siberia, and he and several other major oil companies were exploring eastward and prospecting for oil, which added a lot of trouble.

That old chalk saw East Siberia as his own backyard, but what did he think of the other oil companies in this way?

Do they all think of the big guys as papier-mΓ’chΓ© and muddy?

Everyone has long been dissatisfied with him, but this guy relies on his special relationship with the natives of the central and eastern regions, which makes the Kremlin jealous of him, which is really too much, but now because of the tension in the international and domestic political and chalk governance pattern, everyone has nothing to do with him

In particular, the fact that the Americans in Uzbekistan and Mongolia have leased the air force base has made the Kremlin very angry, but it has a rat trap, so now it can only rely on this guy to maintain the relationship with the local natives in the central and eastern regions, and the current domestic political chalk pattern is also very ingenious.

Even a strongman like President Putin does not dare to act rashly, which makes many oil companies can only endure his actions of Potanov.

This time, the president set up the oil pipeline in Teschet and involved many oil companies, and his intention was also very clear, that is, to follow everyone's strength to crush this Potanov.

It's just that this guy has been nesting in his old nest and doesn't show up much in Moscow, and he has been operating in the central and eastern parts for so many years, and it's really difficult to catch him.

This time the president gave everyone a chance, to be honest, many people want to come to this Podanov's handle, but this guy is extremely slippery, everyone feels like a mouse pulling a turtle to him, there is nowhere to go, there is no place to speak, there is no flaw in this old guy, for this problem, many people have a headache for a long time. …,

Khodorkovsky's case has only been known for a long time, and the impact of this case is very bad both domestically and internationally, and now the Kremlin does not dare to use the same methods against this Potanov.

If he were playing the same game against Khodorkovsky, he would certainly provoke public anger and force all the capitalists to the opposite side of Klingmu, and he would certainly not have resorted to such measures unless Putin was irrelevant.

So if you want to engage in this Potanov, you must be justified and famous, and now such an excuse is the most headache for everyone.

"Alright! I think everyone's goal is very clear, that is, to stop Potanov's absurd acts, and to limit the squaccal Sugurt Oil and Gas Corporation, which is the only one in the construction of the Tana Line, and to achieve equal interests. But Mr. Graschenko, you should know that it is very difficult for us to deal with Podanov's land where Teshet is, and he is a very slippery person, and we have never had his handle, and we do not know what you do. ”

Friedman's meaning is also very clear, we can't do anything with this guy, if you want to mess with him, then you have to be famous, do you have any good solutions?

"Hahahaha, we do have some ideas, but the specific implementation may depend on Mr. Friedman."

Aldridge said to Friedman with a smile, Friedman's eyes lit up when he heard it, he and Podanov have been at odds for many years, and for so many years the two sides have been cautiously looking for each other's chalk holes and handles, but everyone has not been able to do so for so many years.

Now this Aldridge actually said that he had that Potanov handle in his hand, how could this Friedman not be overjoyed.

"Tell me about it."

At this time, Friedman couldn't care about being reserved anymore, and his eyes lit up urging Jin Xiaoqiang to speak, it seems that this guy is really in a hurry.

"Haha, well, in fact, we all know that the reason why this Podanov was able to stand on his feet and run the Sugurt Oil and Gas Corporation so big is because of his good relations with those natives of Eastern Siberia. In many parts of Eastern Siberia, there are many chalk-clad states of the Chalk-League, or the existence of self-celiary states. There are many small number of chalk people there, and now even the central government of the Central Government does not dare to do anything to those minority chalk people. Therefore, where the minority chalk people have a lot of chalk rights, this is the biggest obstacle to the eastward expansion of you large oil companies. ”

Aldridge is a mouthful of the dilemma faced by many of Russia's large oil companies.

"Where are the Buryat Mongols, there are the Tatars, there are the Tuvans, and so on a small number of chalk peoples, who are close relatives in the sense of history, and who even now retain very close chalk lines. In particular, the Tatars, Tuvans, and Buryat Mongols, these three chalk peoples, almost cousins, are close relatives of each other, and their relationship is very close, communication is also very frequent, and their influence and sphere of influence in Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia are very large. Especially after Chechnya became independent, the central government of the Central Government had to give these minority people quite preferential treatment and special care, which also greatly increased the strength of these people in the central and eastern regions. ”

Aldridge spoke eloquently, and indeed he also said the truth, and it seems that he is very familiar with the situation in Russia.

In fact, these three chalk tribes all have an extraordinary past history with the Celestial Empire, and it can even be said that they were all the people of the Celestial Dynasty and the Celestial Dynasty, but unfortunately with the strength of Russia, they continued to cut the land from the Celestial Dynasty, and these folk chalk tribes were also divided by the Russians. …,

These people did not have a high status in the Soviet Union during the former Soviet era, but after the Soviet Union de-chalked and the control of their own territory was weakened, especially after the Chechen rebellion, these tribes also began to chalk and chalk.

In addition, the Russians were not friendly to these natives in the history of the chalk, and many of the chalk tribes had been slaughtered by many Russians, so it was time for the Russians to repay their debts.

This is why the Russian government is now the most troublesome problem, and these oil companies are also the most troublesome to these natives, and it is because of their resistance that they are unable to expand eastward.

"However, Napodanov has a good relationship with these people, but it is precisely because of the special aspect of his relationship with these people that it has led to the chalky mistakes he is making now."

When Aldridge said this, Friedman was suddenly shocked, and finally waited for the play.

"Mr. Friedman, do you know Erdenet?"

Aldridge suddenly asked, and Friedman felt a little confused, Erdenet? Here's what

Is it a place name? Or is it a person's name, or something else?

Aldridge looked at Friedman's confused look, then smiled and began to explain to Friedman.

"Erdenet, located at the northern foot of the Hangai Mountains in Mongolia, is a small city with only 90,000 chalk people, but it is home to one of the most famous copper-molybdenum mines in all of Asia. Most of the copper needed for the chalk equipment of the Russian Far Eastern military chalk is produced there, which was originally developed by Mongolia in the former Soviet era, and later after the dechalking of the former Soviet Union, it belonged to Russia and Mongolia together. ””

When he heard this, Friedman already understood what Aldridge meant, and his spirit was more than enough at this time.

"Mongolia holds 51 percent of the shares in this copper-molybdenum mine, while Russia owns 49 percent." ”。 οΌ‰
