Resource Tycoon Reborn

The temperature in Moscow in July is generally moderate, making it a good place to go on vacation to escape the heat. However, this year’s temperature in Moscow is significantly higher than in previous years. Not only in Moscow, but also in Russia as a whole, some parts of the country have been threatened by severe drought for more than ten years.

Five regions have been severely affected by drought, which will reduce Russia's crop harvest area this year by about 5 million hectares. Relevant Russian government departments have lowered this year's grain harvest forecast from the original 100 million tons to about 90 million tons. Drought

It also brought about wildfires in some areas, which made the Russian fire department exhausted.

Russia is a major exporter of grain in the world. Its grain export volume ranks third in the world, and its share of the international grain market is about 13%. Russia has been doing everything possible to expand its grain exports and further consolidate its "world

"One of the largest grain exporters". This sudden drought has caused great losses to Russia's agricultural production. This has made the Russian government, which was already reeling from the economic crisis, even worse!

Old Belevsky was lying on his back on the recliner with his eyes closed, and his young wife was sitting beside him, reading to him the latest information sent to him. Nowadays, his energy is getting weaker and weaker, and he leaves him less and less.

Although he does not live in Moscow, he is still one of the most valued think tanks of Russian Prime Minister Stepashin. His opinions are an important reference for Stepashin to make decisions.

"Wilder?" His young wife called softly. She thought that old Belevsky had fallen asleep. This was a very common thing in the past. Old Belevsky did not respond, so she went quietly.

He put down the materials, pulled up the quilt under old Belevsky's feet, and walked out quietly.

In fact, old Belevsky was not asleep, he was just too lazy to talk or open his eyes. Although he was so old that he rarely left his residence, even when Prime Minister Stepashin summoned his staff to discuss some important matters, he would often

I chose to come to him for a meeting to take care of his physical condition, but no matter how old a lion is, he is still a lion and cannot transform into a poodle.

He was thinking about an important issue: how to achieve Fang Mingyuan's request and push the Russian government to pass a proposal to establish a new engine production group company through a joint venture with China. His Chinese friend had repeatedly blocked this proposal from relevant departments of the Russian government.

The passage has shown obvious dissatisfaction!

He can completely understand Fan Mingyuan's eagerness for the passage of this proposal, and he can also understand the thoughts of those officials in the Russian government who obstructed the passage of this proposal, but understanding alone is of no use. The reason why he was able to become two-term Russian president

An important think tank, Prime Minister Stepashin still attaches great importance to his opinions. The key point is that he is an important link between the Prime Minister and Fang Mingyuan, and the social influence of the Fang family, whether in Russia or abroad, is

The power and role are extremely important, and in some cases, it can even be said to play a vital role. If I lose Fang Mingyuan's trust because of this matter, it will also affect my son Xiaobie.

Levsky lost points in front of Fan Mingyuan, thereby shaking his family's foothold in Russia. This is what the old Belevsky absolutely did not want to see. Especially since Fan Mingyuan is still very young, under normal circumstances, he can still

He has been in charge of the Fang family for at least thirty years, and as long as the Belevsky family can maintain a good relationship with him, no matter who ascends to the throne of Russian politics, it is impossible to ignore the Belevsky family.

existence.

This matter is difficult to say and easy to say. As long as Stepashin is determined to push it forward, with his ten years of experience as president in Russian politics and now the powerful Russian Prime Minister, even if there are objections, he can

It can be suppressed completely. But how to persuade Stepashin to approve it is a problem. Although he thought about it again and again, he still wasn't completely sure.

His wife's soft call came to his ears, and at the same time his body was nudged a few times by a pair of small hands. Old Belevsky opened his eyes, and his wife said softly: "The Prime Minister will be here soon, do you want to prepare?

"

Although he was on the way, Stepashin was also taking the time to review the documents. Today, he wishes he had three heads and six arms. Almost every day, bad news comes from all over Russia. Agriculture is facing drought, and industry has to face the crisis.

The economic crisis is sweeping the world. From the last quarter of 2008, the Russian economy began to take a sharp turn. Last year, the growth rate for the whole year did not even reach 5%. In the first half of this year, the Russian economy’s

The recession was even more serious, with GDP falling sharply. It fell by 10.1% in the first quarter and 14.7% in the second quarter!

Steel, automobiles, construction and real estate, papermaking, retail, aviation and other industries are facing huge losses. The Russian government has to urgently introduce policies to support core enterprises in these industries. Russia's import and export trade

We have also ushered in the cold winter. According to incomplete statistics in the first half of the year, both imports and exports fell by more than 30%!

The heavy pressure of losses has forced Russian domestic companies to take extreme measures such as layoffs, salary cuts, and even shutdowns to reduce losses. This has caused a significant increase in the unemployment rate in Russia, reaching nearly 10%, and the unemployed population

It has reached a population of nearly 10 million! Considering that the total population of Russia is only 140 million people, excluding the elderly and minors, this population number is quite astonishing.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent on oil exports. Because the economies of European and American countries have been hit hard by the economic crisis, the demand for oil has dropped significantly. In addition, speculative funds in the oil market have taken profits. The price of oil in the international market is still at a low level.

This has caused Russia's foreign exchange earnings to drop significantly, making the Russian government even more stretched in terms of financial expenditures. Stepashin sometimes even feels that he has won the position of prime minister. Is it a wrong decision? If so

If he cannot handle this economic crisis well, then it is unclear whether he will be able to sit in that position again during the next Russian domestic presidential election!

Therefore, Stepashin urgently needs to prevent the Russian economy from further declining. If the third and fourth quarters of this year also decline by 10%, the annual GDP decline will definitely exceed 10%.

If so, even if he has a high reputation in Russian politics, he will face huge pressure when he seeks the presidential election in a few years. Those political opponents who have been suppressed by him will jump out one by one to accuse him!

"Your Excellency, we are here!" his secretary reminded in a low voice. Only then did Stepashin notice that the car had stopped and the old Belevsky couple were already standing by the door.

The entourage opened the car door for Stepashin, and Stepashin walked out and warmly took the old Belevsky to greet him. Stepashin still attached great importance to this old man who had been with him for more than ten years.

At that time, he accepted the old Belevsky because he was a trusted staff member of the former president. Accepting him would also make it easier to better accept the political legacy of the former president. Later, it was because of the old Belevsky.

The good relationship between Fang Mingyuan and Fang Mingyuan was good, and the old Belevsky did not disappoint him. However, in the past two years, the old Belevsky's health has been deteriorating. Although his son, the younger Belevsky, took over

Part of the job as a father, but it still takes time to grow.

Under the guidance of old Belevsky, everyone entered the living room, the guests and hosts took their seats, and everyone else who had nothing to do with it retreated.

"Old Wilder, I'm here this time. There are some things that I want to hear your opinion face to face." Stepashin knew that old Belevsky was not in good spirits now and could not see guests for a long time, so he asked straight to the point.

He said, "Have you read the information I sent you? Do you have any ideas?"

The old Belevsky nodded slightly and said: "I have read all the information sent. The domestic economic situation is not optimistic!" Core companies in many industries are in operating difficulties. As you can imagine, those small and medium-sized enterprises

The life of enterprises will be even more difficult. The decline in import and export trade has even affected the balance of payments of the Russian government's finances. The excessive unemployment rate has caused instability in Russian society.

"The impact of this economic crisis on our country's economy is far greater than everyone originally imagined." Stepashin said with a long sigh. Before the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis broke out and turned into a financial crisis, Russia's domestic political and financial circles

Many people in the political and economic circles also believe that this is an opportunity to attack the United States' global influence and expand Russia's influence in the global economy! Even after the financial crisis broke out, many people still held this attitude.

Their argument is that the degree of integration of the Russian economy into the global economy is limited, and the economic exchanges with the United States are not very close. Moreover, Russia's foreign exchange reserves and stabilization funds have increased significantly in recent years, which is enough to cope with the situation.

This financial crisis. More radical scholars believe that the financial crisis will cause the dollar to depreciate and the global economic status of the United States and its allies to decline. This will give the Russian currency ruble an excellent opportunity to expand its global influence. Moscow also has

It may become the largest financial center in Europe! But in fact, the performance of the Russian economy has given these people a big slap in the face!

Although Stepashin was not as optimistic as these people, he had to admit that these people's arguments affected his emphasis on this economic crisis and did not pay enough attention. This made Russia face this

During the economic crisis that swept through major countries around the world, they were devastated.

The elder Belevsky belongs to the staunch "pessimistic" school. From the beginning, he believed that although the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the United States, its impact required the global economy to pay for it. Stepa

This sentence from Shen can be regarded as a tactful apology to the old Belevsky and an admission of his error in judgment.

The two of them would ask and answer questions like this, and sometimes they would discuss a certain issue. Time passed quickly. Stepashin was very satisfied with the old Belevsky's answers. For many questions, although he also took

There is no solution that can be completely solved, but he is always able to find other creative solutions to alleviate conflicts. This is many times better than those officials who have been discussing for a long time but can only come up with some false and empty plans!

"By the way, Old Wilder, what's the matter with the fact that the two parties have been unable to reach a final consensus on the acquisition plan of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant?" Stepashin asked seemingly casually. Although, Qin Chuan

The acquisition negotiations between Samsung Motors Group and Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant lasted only two or three months, but many people felt that this time was too long, with millions of dollars a month

Loss makes them eager to jump out of it.

Moreover, the initial smoothness of the negotiations between the two parties also made them have unrealistic expectations for reaching an acquisition agreement as soon as possible. Some people even came up with the idea of ​​​​snatching some profits from Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group. But as

As time went by, they discovered that the negotiators of Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group were not soft persimmons to be manipulated. These people refused to give in during the negotiations. And the losses of millions of dollars every month made the

They are restless.

Stepashin came here this time because he wanted old Belevsky to give Fang Mingyuan a message. He was a dignified prime minister, so he couldn't press Fang Mingyuan for a mere company. That would be too cheap.

"I've heard a little bit about this." Old Belevsky smiled and said, "The shareholders of Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant not only want to sell their shares to Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd.

, and wanted to sell it at a high price, so the two parties couldn't agree on the price. And... Fang was probably a little dissatisfied with the motive, so the matter was postponed."

"Ah?" Stepashin couldn't help but be startled. Most of the shareholders of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant are people from his same party. He himself has some shares in them, but he doesn't like those shares at all.

Naturally, they will not pay attention to it. The shareholders themselves negotiated with Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. regarding the transfer of shares of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant. These days, domestic companies in Russia

The affairs made him overwhelmed again, and he had no time and energy to worry about the affairs of a company. He originally thought that Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. might want to use the economic crisis to explode in Russia, and the automobile industry in Russia was hit hard, so he tried his best to

Lowering the acquisition price will lead to delays in reaching an agreement, but he did not realize that the problem lies on his side! (To be continued.)
