Resource Tycoon Reborn

The motorcade drove into Aso Kasuki's villa on the outskirts of Moscow, and Belevsky said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he reminded Fang Mingyuan to arrive early for the dinner and not to let the president and his friends wait for him.

"Mingyuan, have you noticed that Russians are much more confident in speaking now than in previous years." Aso Xiangyue hugged Fang Mingyuan's arm and smiled.

"Well, the country's GDP has increased, and there is money in the waist, so the waist will naturally become stronger." Fang Mingyuan said. In the international market, the price of oil has reached historical levels. As a major oil exporter, Russia's export revenue has increased significantly.

, the government's financial constraints have greatly improved, and naturally he was reminded of the glory of the Soviet Union. He was not surprised at all by this.

"The international price of oil is rising so fast that it was unimaginable just a few years ago." Aso sighed, "However, I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for Russia." She has been in Russia for a long time.

, her understanding of Russia is far better than others. Although the increase in oil prices has greatly increased the Russian government's income and significantly improved the welfare of Russians, she also noticed that the speed of transformation of Russian enterprises

It has also slowed down. Over-reliance on resource exports to earn foreign exchange is undoubtedly not a good thing.

"You don't have to hide from blessings, but you can't hide from disasters! Moreover, the principle of prosperity and decline is eternal." Fang Mingyuan also sighed. He couldn't help but think of China. Although it does not rely on resource exports to earn foreign exchange like Russia, but

Also relying on the international trade market, domestic consumption has always been difficult to start. Once a global economic crisis occurs, it will be bad news for Russia, and it will also be a big trouble for China.

"You mean there will be a big drop in oil prices?" Aso Xiangyue keenly grasped the meaning of Fang Mingyuan's words.

"Well, the crisis in the financial system will eventually affect the development of the real economy. When problems occur in the real economy, the demand for oil will drop sharply. Do you think the market price of oil will still be as high as it is now?" Fang Mingyuan chuckled.

Dao. In the previous life, due to China's "four trillion" investment, which strongly stimulated the recovery of the global economy, oil prices rebounded rapidly and continued to hover at high levels. However, this time, Fang Mingyuan believes that its rebound will not be strong enough.

Maybe he will be as strong as he was in his previous life.

Aso Xiangyue frowned slightly, thinking about the negative impact that a sharp drop in oil prices would have on the Russian economy and Fang's capital in Russia. However, Fang Mingyuan hugged her with a smile and said, "In your heart

It would be nice to have a number, but we can’t see the specific impact yet, so don’t bother with that.”

"Then how long can you stay in Moscow this time?" Aso Xiangyue put her arms around Fang Mingyuan's neck and asked softly.

"We won't stay for long. We will return to Pingchuan tomorrow. Xintong is about to give birth. I can't stay abroad for a long time. You should also pay more attention to your health. Otherwise, leave all the affairs in Russia to others and go back to Pingchuan.

"Fang Mingyuan caressed Aso Xiangyue's face. She said softly. Aso Xiangyue was pregnant again, and now she is already pregnant. If she hadn't insisted, Fang Mingyuan would not have let her pick him up at the train station.

"No, I won't stay in Pingchuan for a long time. I will be jealous if you and the sisters are flirting with each other. I will stay in Moscow and wait for you to come. Here, you only belong to me." Aso Xiangyue said.

Fang Mingyuan whispered in his ear, "Of course, I won't mind if you bring Guangli and Sister Lian."

Fang Mingyuan slapped her on the buttocks with some laughter and said: "I think you are reluctant to give up your current status as a strong woman, right?"

"It's not wrong to think that way." Aso Xiangyue said with a sweet smile, "I just want to show those people and see what else they have to say. Who said women are inferior to men!"

Fang Mingyuan carried her into the bedroom, put her on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, changed her clothes, pulled the quilt over her, and said softly: "Okay, rest for a while, I'm here

I'm here with you." In the car, he noticed that Aso Xiangyue was already a little sleepy.

Although he had already attended a round of celebratory dinners and Stepashin had drunk a lot of wine, he was in a very excited mood. Alexei Nikolai Ruglov, the former No. 1 Russian

The deputy prime minister, a direct descendant of Stepashin, was successfully elected as the next president of Russia, and he was also successfully nominated by the prime minister and approved by the parliament. This means that after he steps down as the president of Russia in May, he will still be in Russia.

The political circle maintains strong power and influence, and can even be an uncrowned Russian president. Although Ruglov was elected as the Russian president, no matter in terms of power, skill, influence and the strength within the United Russia Party,

On the one hand, there is still a big gap between Ruglov and him. Moreover, Stepashin also promised that after he is re-elected as the president of Russia, he will appoint Ruglov as prime minister, and in

After his two terms expire, he will fully promote Ruglov to take over the position of president again. The two reached a consensus, which led to today's win-win situation. But the reason why today's win-win situation can be achieved is that

Ultimately, it was because Fang Mingyuan had pierced the layer of window paper that he could see the flaw that could be exploited.

Stepashin couldn't help but secretly lament that it was fortunate that Fang Ming was far from a Russian, let alone an enemy standing on the opposite side of his camp. Otherwise, with his huge reputation and influence in the global society, his strong political acumen, and his astonishing ability in the business field,

Talent, if you intend to develop in the political arena, you will definitely be a top politician. The older you are, the more powerful you will be for the position of President of Russia. Today, Fang Mingyuan already has positions in China, Russia, Japan, the United States, and the Middle East.

He has huge influence, and in some areas, even he, the president of Russia, has to rely on him.

Stepashin has been in power in Russia for many years. He can definitely be regarded as one of the first few people in Russia to understand the current situation of Russia and the international situation. In the past few years, the Russian economy has improved significantly, coupled with the Western countries' treatment of Russia.

He had a clear understanding of his attitude, which also gave him the idea of ​​​​making Russia regain the glory of the former Soviet Union.

But he also understands that today's world is no longer the global structure after World War II. Russia has lost not only the Eastern European countries, but also many former Soviet republics. The loss of these republics has not only taken away a large area

The territory and population, as well as a lot of resources and industrial manufacturing capabilities, have caused Russia's already somewhat backward industrial system to be torn into chaos. In the first years of Russia's establishment, Russia lost a large number of high-end talents.

It also missed a good opportunity for development. During the years when Russia was declining, China's economy quickly caught up. Now, it has the momentum to replace the former Soviet Union in the global economic position.

Stepashin believes that China and Russia are very complementary economically. The light industrial production that Russia lacks is precisely China’s strongest point. Although China’s heavy industry has also made considerable progress,

However, Russia still has obvious advantages in some aspects. Russia is rich in various resources, and China's economic development requires a lot of resources. More importantly, both countries have now become a thorn in the side of Western countries led by the United States. Russia has to face

Regarding the issue of NATO's eastward expansion, China also has to face the US blockade in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, so in this regard, the two sides also have a realistic basis for joining hands.

However, there is also a lot of opposition within Russia to joining forces with China. Mainly because of the uneasiness about the territory of the Far East. After all, millions of lands were invaded by China when it was still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. After such

For many years, the Far East has still been vast and sparsely populated. Compared with the population of the three northeastern provinces of China, the gap is really huge. Moreover, Russia's influence on China continues to penetrate into Mongolia and Central Asian countries, which is also relatively dissatisfied. However,

But he couldn't say anything, because Russia was also penetrating its influence into North Korea and Southeast Asian countries.

But Stepashin believes that even with these concerns, in order to revive the Russian economy and to cope with the pressing pressure of Western countries led by the United States in the Middle East and Central Asia, Russia needs China as a stable rear. And only

Only when Russia's economy develops can it regain the former glory of the former Soviet Union and cope with the challenges from the United States. Otherwise, it will be difficult for citizens to even guarantee their basic life. The former East Germany and West Germany are the best examples. And to

To further stabilize the political relationship between Russia and China, Fang Mingyuan can also play an important role in it. Stepashin and Ruglov have reached a consensus. After the two succeeded as president and prime minister in May, one of them

My first visit abroad will be to China.

Moreover, Stepashin had another intention in inviting Fang Mingyuan to come this time, which was for Hordokovsky!

Hordokovsky, due to the rising oil prices in the international market in the past two years, has now become the richest man in Russia. His rich net worth has also made Hordokovsky's political ambitions bloom. If Hordokovsky

It's not that Hordokovsky doesn't want to deal with him. If Hordokovsky doesn't want to get involved in the presidential throne, Stepashin can still tolerate some of Hordokovsky's "inappropriate" remarks.

Although it is said that Hordokovsky did not cause any trouble this time, Ruglov successfully completed the election and achieved his intended goal. However, this did not make Stepashin relax his attitude toward Hordokovs.

Ji's vigilance.

Stepashin planned to talk to Fan Mingyuan about Khordokovsky. On the one hand, he hoped that Fan Mingyuan could convince Khordokovsky as long as he did not want to run for the next presidential election and did not do some very serious things.

Even if he does something out of the ordinary, he will turn a blind eye to him. On the other hand, he also hopes to reach a consensus with Fang Mingyuan, at least obtain Fang Mingyuan's understanding. He is not targeting the Fang family, nor will he touch Hordokovsky.

Damage the Fang family's interests in the Yukosky Oil Company. Even in order to get Fang Mingyuan's support, he could give up part of the interests that originally belonged to Hordokovsky to the Fang family.

Hordokovsky and Fang Mingyuan have been cooperating for more than ten years. From the initial construction of the Russian-Chinese oil transportation pipeline, to now, the two capitals have been closely cooperating in multiple industrial fields in Russia.

Stepashin did not want to cause Fang Mingyuan's misunderstanding, as that would be detrimental to Russia's economic development and the stability of relations between China and Russia.

At this time, Fang Mingyuan, accompanied by Belevsky, entered the small banquet hall. It is said to be a small banquet hall, but it is actually enough for about thirty people to eat at the same time without feeling crowded. The banquet hall is magnificently decorated

, full of Russian style. Originally Aso Xiangyue wanted to accompany him, but Fang Mingyuan considered that after the banquet, Stepashin would definitely have to talk to him alone, and the time to return to the villa would probably be in the early morning, so she wanted

Rest peacefully at home.

There were already six people in the banquet hall at this time. They were all Russian men in their forties to fifties. When they saw Belevsky and Fang Mingyuan walking in, they all stood up on their own initiative.

"Let me introduce to you, this person is Fang Mingyuan, the youngest Oscar screenwriter award winner in Hollywood and the co-president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kuok Shipping Group. Haha, Mr. Fang also has many other titles, such as

The youngest director of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., etc., I won’t list them all here, I believe everyone knows it.” Bilevsky introduced Fang Mingyuan to everyone. “He is also a good friend of His Excellency the President!”

Belevsky then said to Fang Mingyuan: "Fang, let me introduce to you, these people here are all elites of our Russian Federation! They are the right-hand man and direct descendant of the President."

"I know these two, Minister Bukovsky and Minister Alrosa." Fang Mingyuan nodded to two of them with a smile.

Nikolay Alexeevich Bukovsky, First Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia and Director of the Federal Financial Supervisory Service of Russia, and Chairman of Gazprom. Miller Alexey

Alrosa is the deputy minister of the Russian Ministry of Energy and the vice chairman and CEO of Gazprom. Fang Mingyuan is now also one of the shareholders of Gazprom and has met these two many times.

"Fang, welcome to Moscow!" Bukovsky laughed and gave Fang Mingyuan a hug. He was more familiar with Fang Mingyuan than anyone else here. The Russian Ministry of Finance had relied heavily on the Gulf countries for a long time.

It was only in the past two years that Russia paid off its many years of arrears to the Second Gulf Bank and recovered the Russian national treasures and cultural relics that were mortgaged in the Second Gulf Bank. Compared with those banks in European and American countries,

The loans of the Second Gulf Bank generally do not come with political conditions, the interest rates are within a reasonable range, and the loan difficulty is relatively low. The collection is not unreasonable, so it is naturally favored by the Russian Ministry of Finance.

"Fang, I'm really looking forward to having more cooperation opportunities between us." Alrosa also smiled and said, "By the way, give me a few more signatures later."

"Didn't you already go and get at least ten autographs?" Fang Mingyuan said with some surprise. ALROSA's two daughters are fans of Fang Mingyuan's movies, so ALROSA has often asked for Fang Mingyuan's autographs in the past. If Fang Mingyuan hadn't insisted on not agreeing,

, I don’t know how much the autographed photo will cost.

"It's different this time. What I want is an autographed photo! Anyway, you will have to appear in public in front of the media in a few days. I can guarantee that your autographed photo will never be leaked before that." Alrosa said.

The deputy patted his chest and said in assurance.

"This is the Minister of Transport of our country, Mikhail Bartnikov Baskov." Belevsky pointed at a strong man as strong as a bear with a bald head on his head and said, "Baskov

Minister Husband, Fang’s construction company is working hard to build two high-speed rail lines in China, with a maximum speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour! I believe you will have a lot to talk about."

"That's great!" Baskov held Fang Mingyuan's hand with a happy face, "We must have a lot to talk about. You know, those companies in Europe are simply a bunch of vampires! Just from

The new high-speed railway from St. Petersburg to Moscow has spent several years of the budget of our Ministry of Transport! But its maximum speed is only 250 kilometers, and the 650 kilometers from St. Petersburg to Moscow actually takes a long time

Four hours and twenty minutes!”

"Minister Baskov, if you have anything to say, we can discuss it later. Fang, this is Alexander Vasily Ivanovich, Minister of the Interior of our country. If you need help with anything in Russia, generally

He can help." Belevsky continued to introduce Fang Mingyuan. Looking at this Russian man who looked quite capable, Fan Mingyuan was slightly moved. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is truly powerful and powerful in Russia.

Department, similar to the domestic police department, but with much greater power than the domestic police! It is said that the federal Ministry of the Interior has more than 1.4 million people under its jurisdiction.

"It seems that there will really be a lot of trouble for Minister Ivanovic in the future." Fang Mingyuan took the hand he extended and said with a smile.

"Mr. Fang is so polite. On behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I would like to thank your companies in Russia for their continued support of our work!" Ivanovic said cheerfully, "Ms. Aso is a very good agent.

"In Russia, Aso Xiangyue also implemented some of Fang Mingyuan's practices in China, such as donating funds and materials to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, helping the families of police officers to arrange work, and giving preferential treatment to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in procurement. Over the years, she has also achieved

Quite good results. Especially in the years when Russia's economy was most in distress, these practices helped the Ministry of Internal Affairs solve many problems.

"Minister Ivanovic, I firmly disagree with your statement!" Fang Mingyuan said with a serious face. This change made everyone present slightly change their expressions, and they didn't understand where Ivanovic was wrong.

Having said that, how could it arouse such strong opposition from Fang Mingyuan? Even Ivanovic himself had a look of astonishment and was completely confused.

"You should say that she is a very competent and good wife! That way I will be happier!" Fang Mingyuan winked at Ivanovic and smiled. Aso Xiangyue is his woman, for these powerful guys

It is not a secret to them, so Fang Mingyuan simply admitted it happily. Not only will this not affect his status in everyone's hearts, but it will draw closer the relationship between the two parties. People like them, unless they are completely bad

Women, otherwise... there would be more women than Fang Mingyuan! Ivanovic and others were secretly relieved. They were all direct descendants of Stepashin, so they naturally knew that Stepashin valued Fang Mingyuan.

degree, and Fang Mingyuan is indeed an elite with a very high social status in the world, so he naturally hopes to have a good relationship between the two parties.

"Mr. Fang is right. Ms. Aso is indeed an outstanding wife. Our outstanding Russian young men who want to pursue her can go around the Kremlin several times! However, compared with Mr. Fang, they are all

There is no hope at all." Ivanovic laughed.

"So in the future, I would like to ask you to help her ward off those young men from your country who think they are very good." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Xiangyue is a very kind woman after all, and she is not willing to overly hurt a heart full of love.

.And since we are all adults, we must know many examples of love giving rise to hatred."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang!" Ivanovic said, "We will do our best to ensure the safety of Ms. Aso."

Belevsky led Fang Mingyuan to a Russian who was the shortest among the crowd, but Fang Mingyuan visually estimated that he was about 1.8 meters tall. He said in front of the unsmiling Russian: "This person is the director of our country's Federal Security Service.

Patrushev Nikolay Pachushev, an important protector of our national security in Russia.”

"Oh, I have admired your agency for a long time!" Fang Mingyuan said sincerely. The Russian Federal Security Service, together with the British Intelligence Six, the American Central Intelligence Agency and the Israeli Mossad, are known as the "four major intelligence organizations in the world"

The KGB!

"I'm glad to meet Mr. Fang. I heard that MGM Film Company, in which Mr. Fang has a stake, is filming a new "007"? I hope that in future "007" movies, our young men will not be so ugly.

Idiot? In other words, is Hong Kong Kumho Film Group interested in making a few movies based on the deeds of our Russian agents?" Pachushev said sternly, "I am willing to provide your company with the greatest possible help!" (To be continued)
