Chen Mo has to admire Berezovsky's cunning, giving up support for Chechnya will make his strength in Russia much smaller, after all, he still has many supporters in Russia, or allies, and giving up Chechnya is equivalent to giving up this part of the allies.

But before the tide of the times, his resistance is doomed to failure, and he can even see his tragic future. Now with Chen Mo's endorsement and pulling the banner of relations with Huaxia, he has a larger power than before, whether it is politically or economically, he has gained a lot.

But Chen Mo can only follow his plan now and endorse him in front of Putin, because if he doesn't do this, Chen Mo's own goals will not be realized.

In fact, Chen Mo is not at a loss, because for the time being, it seems that Berezovsky took advantage, but only being able to contact Putin directly is a big bargain for Chen Mo. With this channel, the benefits that Chen Mo can get are long-term, which is much stronger than Berezovsky's one-time benefits.

At about half past five, Berezovsky received a phone call, hung up the phone and said: "Let's go to the door to meet Vladimir." ”

In order not to attract attention, all the people just waited at the gate of the courtyard. Chen Mo paid attention to it, there were two more military vehicles in the yard, which should be security vehicles belonging to the security forces.

They had been waiting at the door for a long time, and it had been more than half an hour, and no one had yet arrived. Chen Mo's heart changed from excitement to calmness. When Berezovsky made another phone call to inquire, he said to Chen Mo: "Maybe you have to wait for a while, there is a traffic jam here." ”

Chen Mo's eyes were almost round, just kidding, there was a traffic jam!!

Berezovsky also seemed a little embarrassed, explaining: "Moscow is almost the most congested city in the world. Especially at this time, traffic jams are common, and if they are not jammed, it is news. ”

Chen Mo smiled: "This just shows that Russia's economy is still quite developed, and there are few traffic jams in the capital now." ”

"According to the speed of your economic development, you will often gamble in the future." Well, although Berezovsky was not reborn, he did predict the situation after the capital.

Two ordinary-looking Volga drove into the yard, and everyone went down. As in the country, according to the level of status. Everyone has found their place.

At this time, Chen Mo would not compete with them, but stood alone behind the first group. It is also because he stands in this position that he can also have the opportunity to clearly see with his own eyes how Putin, a strongman, communicates with everyone, and this kind of communication is also the direction he wants to learn.

Putin's height is not very tall, only 1.7 meters, not to mention that in a big country like Russia, even at home, his height is definitely not high. But it's such a person. In the face of countless people taller than him, his eyes never rolled upward, let alone looked up.

Chen Mo noticed that he hadn't approached the object of the handshake yet. I had already observed everything, what expressions I should make, what words I should say, and I thought about it from the beginning. Even if you shake hands with tall people and have a conversation. When he needed to pay attention to the other party's expression, he also tilted his head slightly and raised his head obliquely. Instead of looking up directly.

This special expression can give him an immovable and steady attitude in front of anyone, adding to the charm of his appearance. Chen Mo felt that he could also learn from him in front of people who were taller than him in the future.

Seeing Putin for the first time, this strongman in memory did not disappoint him, whether it was his cold face or the eagle wolf's looking gaze, he showed a strong personal charm.

Walking in front of Chen Mo, Berezovsky introduced: "This is Evan Chen from China, who is currently working for CNPC, and he has played a key role in the cooperation between Siberian Oil Company and CNPC. Moreover, his family has a deep foundation in Chinese government and is a friend worth making. ”

Putin smiled and said: "Isn't he the son-in-law you chose for yourself?" Without waiting for Berezovsky to answer, he stretched out his hand to Chen Mo and said, "Welcome, friend from China." Russia and China are both international powers with a long history, not only separated by a strip of water, but also have a good complementary economic foundation, and I hope you can play a greater role in the friendly economic and trade cooperation between Russia and China. ”

He has a decent level of English and doesn't have much of a Russian accent. It is said that his best foreign language is not English, but German, because he worked in Germany for many years as a KGB officer.

Chen Mo held his strong hand with both hands and said, "This is exactly the purpose of coming to Russia. Your Excellency the President, Russia has abundant resources, while China has the largest market in the world, and we are neighbors. Expanding bilateral trade and expanding the depth of bilateral cooperation should be an effective measure conducive to the economic development of both sides. I am willing to work hard to achieve this and become a bridge of mutual trust and communication between the two sides. ”

To put it mildly, Chen Mo's words are a little more polite, because he is just a businessman, but now he is involved in the relationship between the two countries, and he is even more ashamed to want to serve as a bridge for exchanges between the two sides.

But Chen Mo needed a chance and wanted to get his attention, so he didn't care that he didn't have authorization, so he took chicken feathers as an arrow.

When Putin heard him say this, he really thought for a moment and said to the officials behind him: "Mr. Evan Chen can have such an ideal, of course we should encourage him." Register his contact information and arrange a time for me to hear from the young people in China what kind of constructive opinions they have on the mutual trust and communication between the two countries. ”

When Berezovsky heard this, he was not in the slightest displeasure, but even more surprised. He originally wanted Chen Mo to endorse his plan in an official capacity, but now the more Putin attaches importance to him, the safer he will be. "Please sit down inside, there is a Chinese guest today, so I have specially prepared a table with Chinese characteristics, I hope you can like it."

When he entered the house, Berezovsky disappeared into the crowd with Putin. The officials who followed Putin were also pulled by Joseph and them to talk, and at this time, Chen Mo was idle.

On the one hand, he is a foreigner, and this identity is still relatively sensitive to government workers. What's more, he is too young, and everyone present, the youngest, is probably in his thirties, and those who are not familiar with him must feel that they have nothing to say to him.

In the upstairs office, Berezovsky and Putin looked serious. Since the early nineties, when the two met, they have gone through ten years together. In fact, before that, both of them were colleagues in the KGB, except that Putin had been in charge of the field, and Berezovsky was only a civilian, so the two did not deal with each other much.

But the same experience of working in the KGB and the same circle of friends have always made them objects of mutual admiration. After Putin returned from East Germany, he relied on Berezovsky, who had served as a professor at St. Petersburg University, to gradually rise from an assistant to the president and become the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg.

In the first few years of their partnership, Berezovsky became a well-known billionaire in the country and, because of his ties to Yeltsin, became one of the largest oligarchs in the country.

Putin also relied on Berezovsky's introduction to enter Yeltsin's circle, won the appreciation of the other party, and was promoted by Yeltsin to prime minister and acting president.

In previous years, Berezovsky developed very rapidly, but since last year, Putin has climbed two big steps in a row, and now he is the first person in Russia.

They themselves can't tell when they began to disagree, but the two have been careful to maintain this friendship. But after Putin really sat in the position of president, the contradictions between the two of them have reached a critical point.

Although they are friends, they represent two classes, one is the vested interest of the previous government, and still wants to maintain the glory of the past. One is the newly-born regime, which wants to break the old shackles and seize the initiative only in its own hands.

Now, it's finally time for their showdown.

Looking at the resolute and cold face in front of him, Berezovsky sighed first. Now that it has been decided to make concessions, it is necessary to be simple. Although the young man in front of him has relied on himself to get to where he is today, in the development of these years, a large number of vested interests have long gathered around him, and he is no longer an object that he can arrange at will.

"Vladimir, this afternoon I have already given an order to the Siberian Oil Company to withdraw from the Chechen market. I also apologize to Maskhadov for saying that from today I will not pay a single ruble to the account of the Chechen side. ”

"Boris, you know, I've always valued our friendship very much. I'm very happy that you're doing that, and I'm optimistic about what the future holds. ”

"I know I've had moments of expansion over the years, I think I'm in control and I've made a lot of bad choices. But I, like you, have a sincere heart and hope that the future of Russia can be even better. ”

Putin sat up straight, crossed his fingers on the table, looked at Berezovsky opposite and said: "Boris, the times are constantly changing, and we all have to follow the times so that we will not be eliminated." I remember last summer, I told you that you can only choose one over politics, or business. It's not that I'm forcing you to make a choice, it's that the times are forcing you, and I want to ask again: Have you made a good choice? (To be continued.) )
