Chapter 507 507 The Problem of Economic Recovery in Russia

Putin knows that he has no choice, and if he wants to be president, he has to cooperate with the Chinese. Even if the United States can play a certain role in counterbalance, in fact, the Americans can do too little for him, and the Chinese can do too much!

"Mr. Liao, I am very grateful to my Chinese friends for their support and help, but I also firmly believe that there is no love in the world for no reason, and there is no free lunch, so what does China want to get?" Putin looked at Liao Huairen with burning eyes and asked rather stiffly.

He is a man with a nationalist complex, and it is really not easy for him to do anything that betrays the interests of the country. Qi Yiming also saw this clearly, so he considered a lot of conditions to be able to make him acceptable, and at the same time beneficial to China.

Liao Huairen laughed, saw Putin's intentions, and said: "In fact, what we need will not be excessive, first of all, the most important thing is the healthy development and goodwill and friendship of Sino-Russian relations, I will not talk about those diplomatic rhetoric, we hope that on many international issues, Russia can consider China's opinions more, of course, we also believe that Russia has its own national interests, and it is impossible to keep pace with us all the time, but the general direction still needs to be guaranteed." ”

Putin nodded, even if Russia does not decline, the P5 seat is still retained, and now no one jumps out without opening his eyes to say that Russia will not continue to be a big hooligan, and Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and other countries do not have the courage to do so. Russia still has international influence, which can naturally help China in foreign affairs.

Putin thinks that this is not a big problem, and the other side still has room for it, and then he thinks that he should try his best to carry out reform and economic recovery at home, and he really does not think much about diplomatic issues, and even if he does, he has no ability to intervene, because Russia does not have the financial resources and energy at all.

"Secondly, we hope that in the process of reconstruction and economic recovery in Russia, the Russian side will give priority to our Chinese enterprises. China's enterprises have a very strong ability to restore economic development, and this must be obvious to all in recent years, which is beneficial to both sides. We also hope that Russia will open its market to China's commodity exports as much as possible, and that it will be able to take care of and give preferential treatment to China's investment. ”

This is not a big problem, because China has been able to pull the three Eastern European countries together in two or three years with its extraordinary ability to aid foreign construction, and now it is said that the southern part of Iraq is also slowly recovering, which is very different from the central and northern regions controlled by the United States. If we can borrow Chinese capital, it can indeed play a relatively large role in economic recovery. Moreover, whether the medicine prescribed to Yeltsin by the West before was effective or not is now known to all Russians. Putin is not good at the economic aspect, and he is bound to look for foreign aid. Obviously, the countries of the Chinese gang have not collapsed, while the countries of the Western gang, except for the Marshall Plan and the Dodge plan, have basically gone wrong.

"In the end, I still hope that the Russian side can protect our interests in Russia. Of course, we will also give Russia the most-favored-nation status accordingly, and welcome Russian people to travel, study, and work in our country. After Liao Huairen said this, his face couldn't help but blush.

How can Russia have interests in China now, so in the final analysis, it is still China's interests in Russia. And how did these benefits come about, it is not that the Chinese are aggressively "fighting local tycoons and dividing the fields" in the occupied areas during these days. The previous privatization coupons were much cheaper for the bureaucratic oligarchs, and now these privatization coupons are cheaper for the Chinese. In just one month, the Chinese controlled nearly a thousand large and small enterprises in Russia, including farms, factories, shops, minerals and the like.

The number of these companies may not be large compared to the Russian economy as a whole, but they are all very important, and they all account for about 15 percent of the Russian economy, and the impact on the Russian economy can be enormous, taking into account other factors such as employment, social stability and the functioning of the country.

At first, Putin did not know how much the Chinese had mastered, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, saying that he would not agree to this article until he saw the specific amount, and that Russia's property needed to be protected and its economic independence should be maintained.

Qi Yiming and Liao Huairen's idea is actually mainly to control Russia economically, and even if there is independence politically, it will be somewhat subservient to the economy. Although the industries seized by Qi Yiming are not very related to the national economy and people's livelihood such as hydropower, transportation, etc., they control a considerable amount of manufacturing and industrial and mining industries, and then there are things like real estate, which are either related to a strong country or are profitable, which is much milder than directly controlling life-gate industries.

Liao Huairen finally issued a list to Putin, and after Putin's originally calm face began to bruise. There were a lot of things he didn't know at all, but he couldn't accept the part he knew. So Putin suspended the first meeting with Liao Huairen.

After that, the Strategy Bureau secretly ordered Nikolai to lobby Putin, and Qi Yiming also made some changes to the conditions on his side. Finally, two days later, Liao Huairen came up with a new proposal: the shares of the above enterprises will be transferred to China for 20 years, during which they will pay taxes as usual, and after 20 years, China will retain 10%-20% of the shares of the above enterprises, and the remaining shares will be transferred to the Russian Federation free of charge.

In fact, this is equivalent to the transfer of management rights, and some resource enterprises, ports and other things in many countries are accustomed to doing this, especially in relatively backward countries, which have no technical capabilities and funds, but they are counting on this to make money, so they look for more mature developed country companies to do it.

Putin also knows that this may be the last bottom line of the Chinese, they fought a war with more than a million people, and if they do not take any benefits, their side will definitely not be able to account for it. And if it is a time transfer, in the end these things will be Russia's own, Putin comforted himself so much.

Large areas of farm land are good to say, after 20 years of cultivation, unless there is no problem with destructive planting, but those large industrial mines may be emptied for him in 20 years if the Chinese are ruthless. Putin has added several binding clauses that predatory exploitation of resources is not allowed, and that exploited resources must be supplied to Russian companies at the lowest price and on a priority basis.

As for some factories and shops, Putin does not particularly care, and he himself does not see the impact clearly, so he does not think much about it, only thinking that if the Chinese can take over these enterprises that have been suspended for a long time or are not operating well, they will turn losses into profits, and they will save considerable energy to do it.

In addition, many of these enterprises are no longer state-owned enterprises, but those private, Putin just wants to take them back and scrap some trouble, and he even wants the Chinese to help him take back some private enterprises, so that he can keep them in the future. Putin is actually a very Soviet person, and the other plane is a private oligarch, and it can be seen that Yushchenko used disgraceful means to turn a private company into a state oligarch.

The issue was finally settled, and Putin raised the issue of diplomatic recognition of the former Siberian and Far Eastern republics, after all, he did not want to be charged with cripping land.

Liao Huairen smiled at this time and came up with his proposal: "We are ready to form a temporary government and a temporary State Duma, and let these officials of the transitional government who only have a few months of political life give you the top cylinder, what do you think?" ”

Putin understood that the independence of Siberia and the Far East was inevitable, and could only sigh and say: "Well, so be it." ”

"Now let's talk about aid!" Putin said again.

"Well, on the economic front, we will restore the normal operation and production of most Russian enterprises through direct investment and assisted guidance and management, which of course requires a coordinated economic recovery and development plan, after all, Russia needs to re-establish its own economic system. And most importantly, it needs to meet the daily needs of the Russian people, so the economic aspect may be more focused on this part, and then enhance the vitality of the market, and it is also possible to borrow high-quality products from abroad to improve the lives of Russians.

Privatization is not entirely wrong in Russia's case, and proper market regulation will make the economy dynamic and flexible. Initially, we still encourage small-scale individual businesses, which play a relatively large role in improving the economic environment.

Now Russia is also facing financial difficulties, so we will also provide about $12 billion in aid, interest-free long-term loans, for the initial operation of the Russian government and the development of some programs. If necessary, we will consider adding an additional part. In addition, Mr. Putin could consider ways such as the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund to obtain funds. But I can assure you that their conditions will never open ours. ”

Liao Huairen came prepared, and brought some specific economic development plans, all of which were formulated by the Strategic Security Bureau, which looked like flowers, and Putin didn't know much about the economy, but he still felt that it was very meaningful. In fact, there are some small back doors buried in this, either to facilitate the penetration of China's economy, or it may have a negative impact, Liao Huairen does not understand, but Qi Yiming understands it very well.

Putin expressed his satisfaction with this, and then said: "Now the Russian army is almost gone, the country is rebuilt, and the army is bound to be rebuilt, what do you think about this?" ”

This is actually a bit of a half-slap in the face, because during these days, the Chinese army has been collecting and transporting all kinds of Russian weapons away, and Putin said this problem at this time, in fact, there is a warning meaning.
