Friedman raised his head, smiled at Aldridge opposite him, and then said.

"Yes, I think we can get started."

Since the other party has shown sufficient sincerity and strength, there is no need to inquire too deeply. The negotiation can continue. The most important thing is that the bargaining chip in the other party's hand is Yukos Oil Company.

You know, that old guy Bodanov has been vigorously advocating recently that the construction of the Taina Line should only be left to the top five oil companies in Russia. As for low-level oil companies like Yukos,

, can be completely left out.

Of course, oil tycoons like Friedman knew exactly what he was planning. Poor old guy Bodanov didn't even know that he had unknowingly provoked such a powerful enemy.

Since the other party was able to take over the Yukos Oil Company without anyone noticing, this shows the other party's extraordinary strength. It seems that these guys are not good men and women.

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

Aldridge on the opposite side tentatively asked Friedman. Of course Friedman knew very well, but he was not eager to express his thoughts.

Aldridge saw that Friedman didn't answer him, didn't wait for him to say anything, and then continued.

"The Taina Line is a big piece of meat. Everyone wants a piece of the pie, and they all want their own interests to be maximized in this construction. However, some people always think that they are the landlords and can ignore the interests of others.

Interests, this is absolutely not allowed in modern business competition."

Friedman felt very much in agreement with Aldridge's words. His bp-Tyumen company had already planned to expand eastward, but due to Bodanov's resistance, it had been difficult for them to go further eastward.

That old bastard Bodanov contacted the indigenous people in Eastern Siberia and caused a lot of trouble for himself and several other major oil companies in their eastward exploration and oil exploration activities.

That old bastard regards Eastern Siberia as his own back garden, but what does he think of other oil companies?

Do you think everyone is made of paper or clay?

Everyone has been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but this guy relies on his special relationship with the indigenous people in the central and eastern regions to make the Kremlin very afraid of him. It is really too much. But now because of international and

The domestic political situation is tense, but no one can do anything about it.

Especially the fact that the Americans have leased air bases in Uzbekistan and Mongolia has made the Kremlin very angry, but it has a trap, so now it really can only rely on this guy to maintain peace.

The connection between the local indigenous people in the east and the current domestic political situation are also very clever.

Even a strongman like President Putin does not dare to act rashly, which leaves many oil companies to tolerate Bodanov's behavior.

This time, the president set up the oil pipeline in Tashet and involved many oil companies. His intention was very clear, which was to use everyone's strength to suppress Bodanov.

It's just that this guy has been staying in his hometown and doesn't show much publicity in Moscow. Moreover, he has been operating in the Middle East for so many years. It is really difficult to catch him.

This time the president has given everyone an opportunity. To be honest, many people want to find excuses for Bodanov, but this guy is extremely slippery. Everyone feels that he is like a mouse pulling a turtle, with nowhere to start.

I can't find any flaw in this old guy. Many people have been having headaches for a long time because of this problem.

We have only just learned about Khodorkovsky’s case, and the impact of this case has been very bad both domestically and internationally. Now the Kremlin does not dare to use the same method against Bodanov again.

means.

If the same trick used against Khodorkovsky is played, it will definitely arouse public anger and force all capitalists to oppose the Kremlin. Unless Putin is irrelevant, he will definitely not take such a step

of means.

Therefore, if you want to engage in this Bodanov, you must be justified and have a good reputation. And the current excuse is the most troublesome problem for everyone.

"Okay! I think everyone's purpose is very clear, that is to stop Bodanov's ridiculous behavior and restrict Sugult Oil and Gas Company, which is the dominant player in the construction of the Taina Line.

We must share the benefits equally. But Mr. Grashenko, you should know that Taishet is Bodanov's territory. It is very difficult for us to deal with him there. Moreover, he is very slippery, and we have never had him.

I don’t know if you have the handle..."

Friedman's meaning is also very clear. There is nothing we can do against this guy. If you want to deal with him, you must have a good example. Do you have any good ideas?

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

Aldridge laughed and said to Friedman. Friedman's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He and Bodanov have not dealt with each other for many years. Both sides have been cautious in dealing with each other for so many years.

Looking for each other's weak points and handles, but no one has been able to do so for so many years.

Now this Aldridge actually said that he has Bodanov's handle again. How could Friedman not be overjoyed?

"Come and tell me."

At this time, Friedman no longer cared about being reserved, and urged Jin Xiaoqiang to speak with gleaming eyes. It seemed that this guy was really in a hurry.

"Haha, okay, actually we all know that the reason why Bodanov was able to stand up and make the Sugult Oil and Gas Company so big was because of his good relationship with the indigenous people in Eastern Siberia. In

In many areas of Eastern Siberia, there are many affiliated republics or autonomous prefectures. There are many ethnic minorities there, and now even the central government does not dare to do anything to those ethnic minorities. Therefore, the ethnic minorities there have many privileges, and this is also

This is the biggest obstacle that prevents large oil companies like you from expanding eastward."

Aldridge rightly put the dilemma faced by many large Russian oil companies in one sentence.

"There are Buryat Mongols, Tatars, Tuvans and other ethnic minorities of various sizes. From a historical perspective, these ethnic groups are close relatives, and even now they retain

They have very close ties with each other. Especially the Tatars, Tuvans, and Buryat Mongols. These three ethnic groups can almost be said to be cousins.

They have very close ties with each other and have very frequent communication. They also have a very large influence and sphere of influence in Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia. Especially after the Chechen Revolution, the central government had to give these

Ethnic minorities receive considerable preferential treatment and special care, which also greatly increases the strength of these people in the central and eastern regions."

Aldridge talked eloquently, and indeed he spoke the truth. He seemed to have a very good understanding of the situation in Russia.

In fact, these three ethnic groups all have an extraordinary past history with the Celestial Dynasty. It can even be said that they were once subjects of the historical dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty. Unfortunately, as Russia became stronger and continued to cede territory from the Celestial Dynasty, these ethnic groups were also

The Russians were divided.

These people did not have a high status in the Soviet Union during the former Soviet era. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the continuous weakening of their control over the country's territory, especially after the massive riots in Chechnya, these tribes began to get ready to take action.

In addition, the Russians have not been friendly to these indigenous people in history. Many ethnic groups have been massacred by many Russians, so it is time for the Russians to repay their debts. In order to stabilize these people, the Russian government is ready to take steps.

The indigenous people who followed the footsteps of Chechnya had to give these minorities quite generous treatment and special status.

This is why the Russian government has the biggest headache now, and these oil companies also have the biggest headache with these indigenous peoples. It is precisely because of their resistance that they are unable to expand eastward.

"However, Nabodanov has a good relationship with these people, but it is precisely because of his special relationship with this group of people that he has made the mistake he is making now."

When Aldridge said this, Friedman suddenly trembled all over, finally waiting for the drama.

"Mr. Friedman, do you know Erdenet?"

Aldridge suddenly asked, and Friedman felt a little confused, Erdenet? What is this?

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

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

"Erdenet is located at the northern foot of the Hangai Mountains in Mongolia. It is a small city with only **0,000 people, but it has one of the most famous copper-molybdenum mines in Asia. The weapons and equipment of Russia's Far East Military Region are needed

Most of the copper is produced there. Originally, it was developed by Mongolia during the Soviet era. Later, after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, it was jointly operated by Russia and Mongolia..."

When he heard this, Friedman already somewhat understood what Aldridge meant, and he became more energetic at this time.

"Mongolia holds 51% of the shares of this copper-molybdenum mine, while Russia holds 49%..."
