Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, greed is an unforgivable original sin. Some people have been blinded by greed and have completely let down your hard work." Old Belevsky said leisurely, "They don't want to think about the difference between them and other people in the country."

Compared with automobile manufacturing companies, how lucky they are!"

After the economic crisis broke out, Russia's domestic steel and automobile industries were the hardest hit. Judging from the current statistics, starting from the third quarter of 2008, Russia's domestic automobile industry

Already facing the fierce cold wind, sales have dropped significantly, and many companies have had to reduce production. After entering 2009, there have been large-scale layoffs and even suspension of production. In the first half of the year, according to

According to incomplete statistics, the output of domestically produced cars in Russia is less than 400,000 units, a drop of nearly 51% compared to the same period last year!

Take Volga Automobile Manufacturing Company, the largest automobile manufacturer in Russia, as an example. Its automobile production was only a mere 145,000 units, a drop of nearly 40%. In January, due to excessive inventory,

It has also been suspended for nearly a month and a half. The Volga Automobile Manufacturing Company has fallen into this situation, and other domestic Russian brands can be imagined. The situation of the joint venture automobile companies in Russia is not much better. The Moscow Municipal Government

Renault Logan Automobile Company, a joint venture with France's Renault Automobile Company, has also exceeded one month's production in inventory!

There is no sign of the economic crisis reaching the bottom yet, and the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant has no core technology and relies too much on overseas imported component assembly. Now that the ruble has depreciated sharply, its ability to withstand the impact of the economic crisis is even worse! From

Judging from the information that Old Belevsky knows, so far, the net assets of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant are being consumed rapidly. If nothing unexpected happens, after November, it will be reduced to

Insolvent, and by that time, the shares held by shareholders like them will be worthless! This is the result of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant's six consecutive semi-production suspensions, layoffs and salary reductions since March this year! Yes!

It is said that with every day of delay, the value of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant decreases.

When Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company first came into contact with them, it can be said that the conditions were quite favorable, but these people became greedy and offered eye-popping prices, which made Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group

The company's negotiators left in a hurry. Then, when they realized that the situation was serious and were eager to reach an agreement with Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. was not eager to reach an agreement with them again.

In the old Belevsky's view, this is certainly because Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company was angry with their greed, which caused Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company to miss the opportunity to rectify the Izhevsk automobile manufacturing plant, and intended to punish them

, On the other hand, Fang Mingyuan is also angry that the Russian government has never been able to give a certain assurance on the motivation to establish a joint venture.

"A bunch of idiots!" Stepashin said bitterly. In this matter, it was impossible and unnecessary for the old Belevsky to deceive him. As the Prime Minister of Russia, as long as he investigated with his heart, this kind of thing would be solved.

Isn't the ins and outs just like searching for something? Moreover, since Fang Mingyuan agreed to acquire the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant, there is no reason to give, and there is no reason to break the contract. He can only blame his comrades for making mistakes.

object.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this matter makes Fang very dissatisfied." Old Belevsky said with a bitter smile, "He said he was wiping our butts, not licking ours!"

Stepashin was startled for a moment, and then he shook his head helplessly. Although there was only one word difference, the meaning was completely different. However, he could not say anything about Fang Mingyuan. Although he was the prime minister of a country, this did not mean that he was the prime minister of a country.

It doesn't mean that Fang Mingyuan has to be lower than him. The two of them are in a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship! It is extremely stupid to turn against Fang Mingyuan for these idiots. What's more, he has also gained from Fang Mingyuan in the past few years.

There was a lot of profit. Although Stepashin always thought that he had given Fang Mingyuan enough in return, it was undeniable that there were some things that couldn't be bought with money.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the proposal to jointly fund and establish a joint venture company for motivation has been stalled in the government again?" Old Belevsky asked.

"Well, there are too many people who oppose this proposal, and I can't force it forward." Stepashin nodded and said, "Besides, motive production is one of the few things that we can control in China's military field.

Handing it over to share with China like this makes me feel a little uneasy."

Old Belevsky understood that although Stepashin was explaining to himself, he was also using his own mouth to convey a message to Fang Mingyuan. Obviously, Stepashin was not willing to antagonize Fang Mingyuan.

"I have a few thoughts on this point. I wonder if you have time to listen to it?" Old Belevsky took a deep breath and said.

"Oh? Tell me, old Wilder." Stepashin sat up straight and said.

"I understand that many people in the country are worried about the impact that China's military rise will have on us. I cannot say that their thoughts are wrong, but I think it is inappropriate. Your Excellency, for our country, is China or the United States our current enemy?

For a NATO country?" Old Belevsky said solemnly, "NATO's anti-missile system will be placed at our doorstep. Ukraine may fall to NATO at any time. At this time, which one is the key point?

Do you need to say more?"

Before Stepashin could speak, the old Belevsky added: "We are facing pressure from NATO, and China is also facing pressure from Japan and the United States' Southeast Asian allies. It can be said that the enemy of both our countries is the United States. In the short term,

In time, is it possible for our two countries to have a direct military conflict? As long as China's military strength cannot make the Americans feel troublesome and dare not go to war, and as long as we do not decline to the point where we are unable to fight at all,

It is impossible for them to have a fundamental conflict with us! Because the Chinese people know very well that without us, Russia, their situation will be even more difficult! And now, China's military strength is much stronger, and what we are facing comes from NATO

The pressure will be reduced by one point. If China can compete with the Americans in the Pacific, then the Americans will consider whether to win over us!"

Stepashin was thoughtful, and the old Belevsky continued: "Moreover, our country's military strength has actually been in decline over the years. If it weren't for the fact that NATO countries still worry about our nuclear capabilities,

, I’m afraid they have long been interested in provoking a war on the border.”

Stepashin nodded slightly. As the former president and current prime minister of Russia, even if he is not the person who knows the most about Russia’s domestic military strength, he is definitely one of the top people. He naturally knows that the Russian army now only

It can be said that it is a powerful foreign country with a strong internal control. It relies on its huge nuclear arsenal to frighten NATO and prevent it from taking major military actions. If Georgia had made those small moves back then, the Soviet army would have wiped them out long ago.

"In the past few years, due to the high price of oil in the international market and the satisfactory growth of the domestic economy, with your vigorous promotion, a batch of more advanced equipment has been replaced in the military, those backward equipment have been eliminated, and the backward equipment has been effectively strengthened.

It has increased the combat effectiveness of the army. But... in terms of military technology research, firstly, it requires huge financial investment, and secondly, technical research requires time and talents, and these are quite lacking in our country today." Old Belevsky

road.

Stepashin sighed lightly. How could he not know that since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the progress Russia has made in military technology is actually quite limited, and most of it is eating the capital left by the former Soviet Union.

Over the years, although the government's fiscal revenue situation has been greatly improved, the funds saved must be used to provide high salaries for soldiers and update military equipment. During the First World War in Georgia, the Russian military equipment

The backwardness is clearly demonstrated! And the funds that can be invested in military technology research are naturally quite limited.

The disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the sharp decline of Russia's economy in those years also caused a gap and serious loss of domestic talents. It can be said that Russia today can only invest talents and funds in key military technology research.

In the field, it is completely impossible to fully engage in arms competition with the United States as it was during the former Soviet Union. This determines that the outbreak of this economic crisis will undoubtedly be prolonged for a long time.

At this time, it is impossible for Russia to make large-scale investments in military technology!

"In the past few years, the amount of arms trade between our country and China has been continuously declining. In fact, the fundamental reason is that our country's military technology reserves have been seriously insufficient and have lagged behind the times. Moreover, many countries in the EU are also promoting arms sales to China.

Exports, if we continue to only see immediate benefits like this, I am afraid that in ten years, we will have to import arms from China!" Old Belevsky said solemnly, "By then, it will be too late to change! I

Personally, I think it is a feasible way to use China’s financial resources to cooperate with our technology and conduct research on new technologies!”

Stepashin was silent for a long time and then said: "Old Wilder, do you mean that we and Fang can jointly form a joint venture as a test?"

The old Belevsky said meaningfully: "The Chinese people will not allow the core of equipment such as motivation to always be in the hands of foreign companies. If they never get it, then they will develop it themselves, and

Now, they have enough financial resources to invest, all they lack is time!" (To be continued.) 8
