PS: I'm almost speechless. My wife woke up with a stiff neck and pain when she moved her neck. I took care of the baby. After a massage in the afternoon, I felt better, but I hope I can feel better again tomorrow.

"Mr. Fang, welcome to Ukraine!" When Fang Mingyuan stepped off the ramp of the plane, Artorov quickly stepped forward and extended his hand with great enthusiasm.

"Victor, congratulations!" Fang Mingyuan held his hand and said. Just a few days ago, Altorov's wife gave him a new daughter. Although Fang Mingyuan was in the United States at the time, he still gave him a gift. A generous gift.

Artorov is now his spokesperson in Ukraine. Fang Mingyuan still needs Artorov's influence on many matters in Ukraine, so he is not stingy at all.

Artorov smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your blessing." What made him even more satisfied was that Fang Mingyuan's generous gift was very concealed and would not affect his reputation in Ukraine at all.

Fang Mingyuan's eyes fell on Andrei Yarmolenko, who was standing behind Artorov. He had already heard Artorov mention that he would bring "friends" who could help him.

"Mr. Fang, this is Congressman Andrei Yarmolenko, who now works for the Ukrainian State Assets Foundation." Artorov introduced.

Fang Mingyuan immediately understood that before coming to Ukraine, Altorov had already mentioned in the information sent to him that the Krisvorog National Steel Plant was transferred as a state-owned asset, and the department with the decision-making power was this state-owned Asset Foundation!

"Nice to meet you, Representative Yarmolenko." Fang Mingyuan extended his hand to shake Yarmolenko's hand.

After learning about the wealth of Fan Mingyuan's family and the close relationship with the Russian oil company, and the valuable luxury business jet in front of him, Yarmolenko couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic about Fan Mingyuan. I am flattered. Ukraine is not the former Soviet Union, and the power of capital here has been fully recognized by people.

When Yarmolenko got into the luxurious Rolls-Royce brought by plane and drove to the high-end villa area in Kiev, Yarmolenko was even more in awe of Fang Mingyuan's net worth. Although it is said that today's Rolls-Royce cars are not as difficult to buy as they used to be. But being able to own them and transport them with business jets is not something that just any rich man can afford. At least Yare No one in the Molenko family has been able to do it.

Fang Mingyuan asked straight to the point about the situation of the Klisvorog National Steel Plant.

"Mr. Fang, since you asked, I will speak frankly." Yarmolenko said after a brief pause. "I heard from Victor that you intend to acquire the Krisvorog State Steel Plant? I have to remind you that you There are still many obstacles for this idea to become a reality.”

"Hmm? Mr. Yarmolenko, please speak." Fang Mingyuan said with a look of surprise.

Yarmolenko said: "Mr. Fang, although our government has officially announced that the Krisvorog State Steel Plant will be privatized and transfer almost 90% of the shares. However, this privatization still has some additional Conditions. For example, they must assume certain social responsibilities, and within a certain period of time, large-scale layoffs are not allowed at the Klisvorog National Steel Plant. For another example, the applying company must have a million tons of steel in Ukraine. Annual output of coke, etc.”

"Are there any other conditions?" Fang Mingyuan said with a slight frown. These messages were all mentioned in the information sent to him by Altorov. Although it is a bit troublesome, Fang Mingyuan does not think it is difficult to do it.

"Mr. Fang, our country's parliament still has great objections to whether the government should sell the Klisvorog National Steel Plant. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the parliament vetoing this decision cannot be ruled out." Yarmo

Lenko explained that there are many people in the Ukrainian Parliament, including the Ukrainian State Assets Fund, who oppose the privatization of the Klisvorog State Steel Plant.

"Although the parliament may veto this decision, the president of our country has the right to veto the bill proposed by the parliament. At present, among the companies interested in acquiring the Krisvolog National Steel Plant, the Interberg Group

The Kepteler Group and the Thurston Group are the most powerful." Altorov interjected. "The boss of the Interberg Group is Victor Mistorak, the president's son-in-law. And the Thurston Group is the most powerful.

The boss of the Putler Group is Herchuk Mikhaylo Litvinovich, an alumnus of the president and a close friend for many years!”

Fang Mingyuan immediately understood that in Ukraine, like Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and shortly after independence, a large number of original state-owned assets were acquired by individuals through various means, thus forming a large number of industry oligarchs. There were once international

Organization statistics show that in Ukraine, fifty industry oligarchs account for almost half of the Ukrainian economy!

The Krisvorog National Steel Plant, as the largest steel plant in Ukraine, has various disadvantages, but in the eyes of these oligarchs, it is undoubtedly an extremely delicious piece of fat! These people all hope that

There are many people who are opposed to it, but there are also many people who want to support the privatization of the Klisvorog National Steel Plant. And the current Ukrainian President Danilovich Leonid is undoubtedly

They are on the side of supporting privatization.

"The more people participating in the fight, the more it proves the value of the Krisvorog National Steel Plant." Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "If no one cares, I would like to think about the value of the Krisvorog National Steel Plant.

Not that there is only an empty shell left now! But before that, I am more concerned about another thing, Victor, I heard that someone in your country is questioning the five-year soybean supply contract signed between us?"

Altorov's heart skipped a beat. Although Fang Mingyuan's voice was not high-pitched, the majesty of a superior person was inadvertently exuded, making him feel even more stressed.

The five-year soybean supply contract that Fang Mingyuan signed with the Ukrainian government in 2003 has basically been fulfilled. However, as the price of soybeans has risen significantly in the international market, many media and experts are unanimously optimistic about the future of soybeans.

According to market expectations, there is also a statement in Ukraine that under this international situation, if Ukraine still fulfills the contract of the year, it will sell soybeans for the next four years to Fang Mingyuan at a price of US$251 per ton.

, for Ukraine, the loss is too great. Because in the international market, the price of soybeans has exceeded 285 US dollars per ton, and it continues to rise.

This also means that Fan Mingyuan can earn at least thirty-four dollars in profit per ton of soybeans he obtains from Ukraine. Thirty-four dollars is insignificant, but if this contract is taken into account, Ukraine must export to Fan Mingyuan at least every year

There are millions of tons of non-GMO soybeans, and there is no upper limit. It can be said that Ukraine’s soybean production, except for domestic use, is all covered! This makes many people feel psychologically unbalanced.

Considering that Ukraine's soybean production continues to expand and the price of soybeans in the international market continues to rise, many media and experts predict that by the middle of 2004, the price of soybeans is likely to rise to

More than three hundred and thirty US dollars! By then, the Fang family will make a net profit of nearly eighty US dollars per ton of soybeans! The profits here will make many people jealous.

Therefore, many well-known "qingren" are already clamoring for the Ukrainian government to revise this contract. They all believe that the contract signed that year is extremely unfair! It has become an evil vampire, sucking Ukraine's health.

Human blood and sweat!

"Mr. Fang, there are indeed some people who think that the contract we signed back then is a bit unreasonable..." Altorov carefully considered his words and explained to Fang Mingyuan in the most tactful language possible.

Fang Mingyuan closed his eyes slightly, supported his cheek with his right hand, and listened expressionlessly.

"Member Artorov, what is your personal opinion on this matter?" Li Xintong said.

Altorov spread his hands with a wry smile and said: "Assistant Li, I personally stand firmly on Mr. Fang's side. Legally signed contracts must be respected. This is a mature market economy. However, it is a pity.

Yes, there are not many people who hold such views in our country." He is already Fang Mingyuan's representative in Ukraine, and he can become a core member of the Party of Regions, the largest political party in Ukraine, a star member of the Supreme Parliament of Ukraine, and many of them have real power.

The members of the committee played an important role in the contract signed with Fang Mingyuan. Naturally, he did not want anyone to question the contract.

"When we signed this contract, we offered 115% of the current price of soybeans in the international market. Why didn't these people in your country jump out and question the unfairness of the contract at that time? Moreover, in the past two years,

, If it were not for the various production materials we provided, would it be possible for your country to expand soybean production to its current scale so quickly?" Li Xintong asked bluntly, "If your country thinks the contract is unfair, then yes

Choose to break the contract!"

Altorov and Yarmolenko smiled bitterly in unison, breaking the contract? It sounds easy, but in practice, it is not easy.

Not to mention the impact it will have on the credibility of the Ukrainian government once this incident becomes public, the Ukrainian government will have to pay at least US$400 million for the liquidated damages clearly stipulated in the contract!

If we take into account Fang Mingyuan's influence in European and American countries, China, Russia, and East Asian countries, and the chain reaction that this may cause, even the most radical guy will not dare to break the contract easily.
