(New books on the shelves, please subscribe, thank you)
It wasn't until he woke up the next morning and had dinner that Kang Xuedong asked him. "What did Yabinlovsky want to talk to you about last night?"
Chen Mo drank porridge with pickles, this was his third bowl. "He wanted to use me to return to the mainstream circle of the Siberian company."
Kang Xuedong frowned and asked, "He told you this directly?" ”
"No, I guessed, but he agreed with me."
"And what do you think?"
"I don't know yet, I have to figure out first, how much he expects from me? If his expectations are not high, and I can help, then there are many ways to have multiple friends. If he expects too much and gives too little, then of course I won't help him. ”
Kang Xuedong nodded and said, "I'll go back to the company in a while, and help you check the details of this Yabinlovsky, see which side of their company he belongs to, and then see if there is anything to use." ”
After eating, Kang Xuedong drove to the company, Ma Jing packed up the dishes and chopsticks and asked Chen Mo: "I went to the appreciation meeting yesterday, the gift was not light, and the food was also very good?" ”
"I'm drunk, what do you care about?! What are some of them? ”
"I just took a look, two bottles of Hennessy per person, two Chinese, a box of Longjing, and a Parker pen, which are worth at least more than three thousand."
"I thought it was good, you can take it back if you want. I went to sleep for a while, and I had a terrible headache. ”
The old man said: "Next time, you are not allowed to drink so much wine, when you drink, you must learn to cheat and play tricks, but don't do things like you, one by one." ”
"I know, I'll remember later."
Chen Mo didn't sleep much longer. Kang Xuedong returned from the company and brought a large stack of materials. "You can read all these materials, and you have a number in your heart, and you know where to start when talking to him."
It wasn't until noon that time to eat that Chen Mo finally read the materials roughly. There is not much information about Yabinlovsky, because he was not an important figure after all.
Siberian Oil Company is only the fifth largest oil company in Russia. They are mainly formed by the joint venture of several local oil companies in Omsk, and they have been established for only four years. Due to the short period of time since its establishment and the fact that its original business was mainly limited to Russia and Europe, there is not much business in Asia.
Their office in Beijing is not so much a branch office as an information collection office. Although they have been working to develop oil and gas sales in China, they have been small because they can only be transported by rail.
Yabinlovsky, a marginal figure, also had a short history of glory. He used to be a sales manager at the Omsk Oil Marketing Company, where he was responsible for the Far East. Seven or eight years ago, not long after he joined the work, he took advantage of his position to earn the first pot of gold for himself.
Unfortunately, due to the long-term deviation from the center of the company, although there are some benefits, it is in the process of privatization of the company. But he has been excluded. Until now, he has gone from being a manager in the Far East to a manager of the China branch. Although the rank of position has been raised in name, the power is less than before due to the lack of business in China and the lack of resources at hand.
At present, Berezovsky is not the largest shareholder of Siberian Oil, but because of his large influence in Russia. He also actually holds the power of the Siberian Oil Company. This is something that neither the largest shareholder of Siberian Oil, the gas group, nor the largest private shareholder, Abu, can fight with.
Of course, Berezovsky's fall from grace in front of Putin from next year has led to a significant reduction in his power in Russia. Abu later came to power and became the de facto controller of Siberian Oil. However, he did not have a good life for a few years, and after Berezovsky fled to England, he also felt the cold of his lips and teeth, and soon after he shifted the focus of his career to England.
And he has built a huge reputation in the international community through the acquisition of Chelsea and the exaggerated operation of funds, and he has stayed away from politics and wisely acted as a horse boy for the strongman Putin, which allowed him to avoid Putin's post-autumn reckoning.
As for the richest man in Russia today, Khodorkovsky, because he has always been against Putin. Not only has its Yukos oil company not followed the government's guidance, but it has also created a political party and actively participated in the general election to oppose Putin. As a result, he was sent to prison by Putin, and he was not able to get out of prison until Lang Yufu was reborn.
Berezovsky and Abu controlled more than 60 percent of the shares of Siberian Oil for only 8 percent of the real value of the Siberian Oil Company during the privatization process.
This made them rich, but their wealth was also full of original sin.
When Berezovsky was in exile in Britain, he transferred 28 percent of his shares to Abu, making Abu the de facto controller of the Siberian Oil Company, and Abu transferred all his shares to the Russian state-controlled gas group six years later, completely away from Russia.
All of this made Chen Mo feel that he still had a lot of loopholes to exploit in their capital operation. Of course, he is not personally capable of participating in this kind of struggle, but the CNPC he represents still has this qualification.
One of the most important points is that the first thing to do is to get Putin, the future strongman.
Chen Mo drove to the Capital Building, which was not far from his home, which had just been completed last year, and although Chen Mo often passed by outside, he had never entered. He went straight to the Cantonese restaurant on the sixth floor, and in the corner of the hall, Yabinlovsky smiled and beckoned to him.
Chen Mo is not familiar with Cantonese food, and Yabinlovsky also came to a friend once, and he couldn't touch the door when he asked him to order. Chen Mo simply asked the waiter to recommend three dishes and one soup, after all, they didn't come here for dinner.
From Chen Mo's reaction last night, Yabinlovsky knew that Chen Mo was a smart person. received a call from Chen Mo today, he was also very excited, no matter what Chen Mo's situation with Nastya in the future, as long as he could be of some use in front of Berezovsky, his thoughts were not in vain.
But at first, the two did not mention this topic, but kept talking about the folk customs of China and Russia, as well as the development prospects of the oil industry.
After the waiter put the dishes together, the two of them opened a bottle of high-grade liquor, and this officially entered the topic. Chen Mo was also very curious about his choice to form an alliance with him, and he didn't understand where he could see that he could help him, and even he didn't understand this.
Jabinlovsky did not hide it either, and confessed: "I was a member of the first employee group within the company, that is, I joined the company before it was privatized. ”
Chen Mo nodded and asked, "This also means that you are not someone they can trust with Berezovsky and Abramovich?" ”
"Yes, and since I have always been in the Far East, within the company, I have not had a lot of influence and have not been in their field of vision."
"So how can I help you?"
"The news about Nastya may be a secret to you, but to me, I know a little more than anyone else."
Chen Mo frowned and said, "I don't understand, Nastya is just an ordinary friend to me, am I worth it for you to spend so much energy?" ”
"Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not, who knows?"
Chen Mo deliberately said: "Maybe we don't have a basis for cooperation, because we don't have common interests between us." ”
"No, it only means that you don't know Berezovsky, he is an unscrupulous person in order to achieve his goals, and I don't think you can get rid of his influence." Yabinlovsky raised his glass, touched it with Chen Mo, and drank the white wine in the glass like cold water. "Now that he thinks you can help his daughter, he'll use all sorts of tricks to get you into line."
Chen Mo smiled: "I said it, I don't value money. ”
"I know, but I think it's just a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. If you can really help Nasga, I personally think it's not a problem for him as long as it's under £20 million. ”
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I don't think I'm worth so much money in his eyes. ”
"Of course, no one will give so much money to a stranger at once, but now you have the opportunity to be close to him, which is not available to ordinary people. And ......" He poured himself another glass of wine, and Chen Mo also raised his glass to drink his wine dry, and let him pour the wine. "And he doesn't have to come up with it at all, and he doesn't even need to spend a penny, and you'll do what he wants."
"Oh......" Chen Mo laughed. Are you really that sure? ”
Yabinlovsky nodded and said, "If he is now attracting you with a cooperation that PetroChina is very interested in, on the condition that this negotiation team must have you on board, do you think that PetroChina will arrange you into the negotiation team according to his wishes?" ”
Chen Mo was a little impatient, going around like this, but it disturbed his thinking, the only thing he was curious about was why the other party would find him. "Of course I believe that CNPC will do what he wants, but none of this can explain why you asked me to cooperate? What do you fancy about me? And what can you give me? ”
He took the wine glass and drank it all, looked into Chen Mo's eyes and said, "I'm taking a risk, but I have to bet on it." I don't want to be left on the fringes all the time, and you could be an opportunity for me. (To be continued......)
