Chapter 452: Meeting

Friedman's dissatisfaction with Podanov is not a day or two, in fact, long before Yukos was dismembered, the rift between the two of them was already deep.

At that time, Friedman, who had repeatedly made gains in the refinance market, had just taken control of the Tyumen oil company, and not long after, he hooked up with the British BP and launched a so-called cooperation.

BP-Tyumen also became one of the largest oil producers in Russia at that time, but it was not among the top companies.

Friedman, who had plenty of money, planned to expand his oil business, but at the time of Yeltsin's rule, Russia was in a chaotic political situation and the country was extremely corrupt.

This was the best time for a business magnate like Friedman to expand its business power and scope, when many of the large oil fields east of the Ural Mountains had been discovered and carved up by many domestic oil companies.

And the Western Siberian region near the Ural Mountains has also been almost divided by those oil oligarchs, Siberian Oil, Yukos, Luke Oil, none of them are good stubble.

In the end, Friedman pondered that he should stretch out his hand to the virgin land of Central Siberia, although the indigenous people there were not very easy to greet, but as long as the money was sufficient, he did not believe that there was nothing that could not be done.

But within a few days, the subordinate he sent to the Central Siberian region to develop high-level business came back with a blue nose and swollen face, which surprised Friedman and asked carefully, and after that, he was beaten by others.

The guy who beat people was still very arrogant, and directly and blatantly told him that this realm belongs to us, and if you dare to cross the boundary in the future, you will chop off your claws.

And that group of people was none other than the Sugurt Oil and Gas Company, and from that time on, the bond between Friedman and Podanov was concluded.

For more than ten years, the two sides have often acted against each other, and each time someone has been killed or injured, but it has always been a dead or loser.

The Alpha Consortium has relied on overcoming obstacles in the financial market and the special oil import and export rights owned by Alpha Ace Company, which has been a mixed wind and water in recent years and has made enough money.

And the Sugurt Oil and Gas Company did not dare to show weakness, relying on the monopoly of the production, import and export of oil fields in Central Siberia, they were also full of brains and intestines, and their physique skyrocketed.

Especially in recent years, the Alpha consortium, because of Putin's coming to power and wantonly attacking the original oligarchy economy, has somewhat reined in and is no longer as arrogant as before.

However, the Sugurt Oil and Gas Company on this side has developed more and more rapidly, and its physique is getting bigger and bigger, relying on Napodanov's relationship between Putin and ethnic minorities.

This time, Putin set the Tanner line in the Tyshet region of Central Siberia, and also put several other large oil companies into it, and it is clear that there will be a dragon and tiger battle soon.

Everyone knows that after the completion of this oil pipeline, it will definitely be nominally state-owned, but the state will definitely not intervene excessively in other matters except for collecting protection fees from this pipeline at regular and fixed points.

In this way, whoever can occupy the pipeline to the maximum extent will be able to sell more oil and make more profits.

Alpha Ace Company turned out to be doing this, the construction and management of this kind of oil pipelines, it can be said that they are familiar with the road, and they have quite privileged in Russia before, and they can enter and exit the country's oil pipelines at will. …,

But this time in Teschet, this privilege does not seem to be easy to use, and other oil companies may not say anything, but if they dare to do so, then Sugurt Oil and Gas Company will definitely not agree.

At that time, Bodanov will definitely jump out to find trouble, and Friedman's side has been mentally prepared for a long time, he doesn't want to be bluffed by Podanov, a madman.

He had already been polite enough to swallow his anger before, and now this grandson still wants to threaten their company's privileges, is this worth it?

You must know that their Alpha Ek special business license, but it was issued by the state during the Yeltsin era, and it is still easy to use.

If this privilege is challenged by Podanov in Teschet this time, then who will buy his face in the future, I am afraid that they can enter the pipelines of other oil companies and the national oil transportation pipelines at will, and the privilege may be canceled, which is the last thing Friedman wants.

So this time on the issue of the Tanner line, he is bound to fight to the death with Potanov.

During this time, Friedman was trying his best to find Potanov's weakness, but the old fellow, who had been nesting in Central Siberia, did not often return to Moscow.

In this way, there will be much less intelligence gathering about him, which is very detrimental to Friedman's judgment about Podanov.

The Chinese Sun Tzu's Art of War has said that knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, but now he has two eyes for Napodanov, and he doesn't know anything, how can this be good for him?

Friedman felt that he was very worried, although he had lived a hermit life for so many years and did not often show his head outside, but his company was too conspicuous.

The Alpha Consortium is too famous in Russia, and because of the Yukos incident, it was quite unpleasant with Putin's side, although he gave in later, but Putin's side originally had a pimple in his heart, and now he may hate himself even more.

The problem with the Tanner line this time, if it's not good, is that the expressionless guy gave himself a set, sadly, this set, he still has to drill, or if he doesn't drill, then he may miss the biggest and best development opportunity of BP-Tyumen.

As soon as he thought of these things, Friedman felt a little pain in his brain, what should he do with that Potanov?

After learning that the Tana Line was going to be built, he had sent several negotiation teams over to his side in a row, and the price offered was higher and higher every time, but the old guy just didn't let go.

I haven't responded yet, really***, what does this old Wang Ba want to do?

Does he want to unite with other oil companies to get rid of Lao Tzu's Alpha Ike?

As soon as he thought of this, Friedman's heart trembled, you must know that this Olfa Ek, but his heart, it was precisely because of his close relationship with senior officials within the Yeltsin government, spending money happily, and having a big enough amount of money that he got a special business license for independent export and random access to pipelines from those greedy guys.

Over the years, the Alfa Consortium has made enough money just by relying on this license, but their privileges have also caused dissatisfaction among many oil companies, not to mention the large companies for the time being, even the small and medium-sized oil companies that are even more dissatisfied with themselves.

Their scale is small, and they generally do not import and export in person, and they also borrow the oil pipelines of large oil companies to transport oil, so many years of Alfa company, but they have not sheared sheep from them, and Alpha Ike, the use of oil pipelines at will, but let these small and medium-sized companies suffer ..........

So it is really not an exaggeration to say that those companies hate the Alpha consortium to the bone.

If you make a mistake on the Tanner line this time, then the privilege license of your company in the future may be completely invalidated, and it will be useless at all.

Friedman was so anxious at the thought of this that if it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have chosen to come to his villa on the outskirts of Moscow today to meet this man named Aldridge. The Tatars of Grasinko.

That day, when his secretary suddenly told himself that a man named Grasinko was looking for him, he really wanted his secretary to get out, what Grashingko, what Grashingko he didn't know.

But when the secretary told him that the Glashenko directly said on the phone that he could help him get rid of Potanov, Friedman hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to believe this person's words, and he talked with this Glashenko on the phone for a long time, and finally agreed to meet today at a remote villa on the outskirts of Russia that he owned.

Then he sent someone out to investigate the man named Aldridge. The characters of Glachenko, as a result, they found nothing but such a simple page.

The man's name was Aldridge. Grachenko, yes, was born into a small town in the Republic of Tatarstan, with a Redstone holding under his name, and then there was a large blank space.

Friedman's resume, educational experience, and later social experience were all blank on these surveys, and Friedman was surprised at first, but it didn't take long to calm down.

There are three possibilities for the origin of such a mysterious guy, one is an international killer, the second is a Russian secret agent, and the third may be an agent of an international consortium.

And as things stand, the third one is very likely, what is Tatarstan?

It was a bridgehead for foreign conglomerates to infiltrate Russia, where anything could happen, so Friedman gritted his teeth and decided to meet Aldridge. Grachenko, he wants to see the boss behind this guy, who is it?

After waiting in the villa for more than half an hour, his beautiful secretary finally answered the phone, and then walked behind him and leaned over to whisper to him.

"Boss, they're coming......"

Friedman stood up suddenly, walked to the window, opened the curtain a small corner, and looked downstairs, only to see a convoy of more than a dozen black tough guy jeeps, guarding the unusually tall giant jeep in the middle, slowly driving towards the villa in the courtyard......
