Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Ambassador Hidi Kermani, I wonder how you plan to pay for this payment?" Fang Mingyuan asked suddenly. Iran, which has suffered from international sanctions for so many years, although it has rich oil resources, has difficulty entering the international market smoothly.

Convert to foreign currency.

Hidi Kermani hesitated and said: "Mr. Fang, you also know the current situation of our country. Our foreign exchange reserves are not large, and I heard that a construction group company under Fang Xian has reached an agreement with the Brazilian government.

, Brazilian agricultural products can be used to offset the construction costs, so we hope to use oil to offset the payment. I wonder if you can accept it?" Iran is short of everything now, but it definitely does not include oil.

"Okay!" Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands neatly and said, "If our government approves this matter, we will discuss the specific price later. Your country can use oil to pay for the goods. But there is an ugly thing I want to say up front.

.”

"Please tell me!" Hidi Kermani said happily. It is undoubtedly very beneficial for Iran to be able to use oil to pay for goods without using foreign exchange reserves.

"Your country has ordered twenty passenger planes at one time. It stands to reason that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group should give you some price concessions. However, considering that firstly, you are using oil to pay for the goods, and secondly, you are paying for the goods with oil.

There are certain risks involved in selling passenger aircraft to China. Our country's own civil engines are still under development. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently needs to purchase aviation engines from overseas, so we have to consider the possible troubles this transaction may cause, so

By then, the price will probably be higher than the normal market sales price, and your country had better be mentally prepared for this. We at Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your country’s aviation companies, but we must also

We need to ensure reasonable profits. We don't have the strength to trade at a loss yet." Fang Mingyuan said.

"We can completely understand this." Hidi Coleman said with a sigh of relief. It turned out that Fang Mingyuan meant that the sales price of these twenty md90 passenger planes would be higher than the normal market price. They had already been prepared for this.

Prepare. Due to the international sanctions led by the United States, let alone buying a plane normally, even if they buy a second-hand plane, it will be much more expensive than the normal market price! More importantly, Fang Mingyuan agreed to use oil to repay the payment, which made Iran

The pressure on the oil industry was immediately reduced a lot. You must know that due to international sanctions, Iran produces a large amount of crude oil every year but cannot find a market, so it has to store it and give Fang Mingyuan more oil. They have no psychological pressure at all.

After seeing off Hidi Colemani, Ivanovic said to Fang Mingyuan with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you yet. This time you have made a big splash in the upper class of Europe." He already knew that Fang Mingyuan appeared in Weir.

News from the handover ceremony of the new and old patriarchs of the Welf family. Being able to attend that ceremony must be a person of high status in the European political and business circles. Fang Mingyuan attended as a distinguished guest of the Welf family, which naturally brought many benefits.

"Hey, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight?" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Alexander, I didn't come to Moscow this time in the cold to purchase passenger planes for Iran."

Ivanovic's smile faded, he poured a cup of coffee for Fang Mingyuan, took another cup of coffee for himself, sat across from Fang Mingyuan and said, "Did you hear something?"

Fang Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Why should I listen to rumors? Just say it straight. Do you want me to ask Prime Minister Stepashin face to face?" Although Ivanovic has a high position, but

There was no direct conflict of interest between Fang Mingyuan and him, and in the past two years, with Fang Mingyuan's guidance, Ivanovic had actually made a lot of money, so the conversation between the two naturally became more casual.

Ivanovic rubbed his hands and pondered for a long time before saying: "Fang, you'd better advise Hordokovsky. The Prime Minister's patience is also limited. If it weren't for your sake, he would have...

…hehe."

Fang Mingyuan frowned. As expected, Khordokovsky wanted to get involved in politics, which had aroused Stepashin's strong dissatisfaction. The reason why Ivanovic came to talk to him about this matter was because

It was just a last chance to give Khordokovsky a chance. If Stepashin came to talk to him, it would be difficult to change Khordokovsky's fate.

Ivanovic drank coffee quietly, waiting for Fang Mingyuan's answer. Although Fan Mingyuan was not Russian, Ivanovic knew very well that his status in Stepashin's heart was no less than that of their confidants.

, and even more noble from a certain perspective, because Fan Mingyuan is not Stepashin’s subordinate, but an ally who cooperates on an equal footing. Hordokovsky wants to participate in the presidential election in a few years.

And Stepashin has long regarded the next president as his own. If it were not for the fact that Khordokovsky had Fang Mingyuan as a partner, he would have dealt with him long ago.

It has to be said that history is always similar. In the ten years since Stepashin took over as president, the path taken by Stepashin can be said to be very similar to that of the iron-fisted president. They both supported a group of oligarchs and overthrew a group of old oligarchs. Those who came before

Among the oligarchs who emerged after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, apart from Hordokovsky, there is now only one guy who has always kept a low profile and does not like to go to Moscow. He is still safe. Several other oligarchs have escaped.

, those who are in jail, those who are bankrupt and financially troubled, will not end well anyway.

If Hordokovsky is more sensible, even though he controls the largest oil company in Russia, Stepashin does not want to have an enemy with Fang Mingyuan because of him, even if Hordokovsky is interested in Moscow.

Stepashin wouldn't care about the mayor, or the person in charge of a powerful position in the government. But after many reminders, Khordokovsky still coveted the presidency. How could Stepashin not let him

Tepashin was annoyed by this.

Fang Mingyuan was also very annoyed. He and Hordokovsky had mentioned this matter more than once. Of course, Hordokovsky wanted to be president, which he couldn't control, but if he repeats his previous life

His mistakes caused the control of Yukosky Petroleum Company and Menatep Private Bank to change hands, but the negative impact on the Fang family’s interests in Russia cannot be ignored. He also persuaded Hordokovsky to cooperate with Slovakia.

Compared with Stepashin, he is still very young. He can run for the head of the Russian region first and wait for the opportunity, instead of facing off against Stepashin!

Stepashin has been in power for ten years as president and has achieved a lot. Especially in the years when oil prices were soaring in the international market, Russia's foreign exchange reserves and national income have significantly increased.

, has also led to a significant recovery in the living standards of Russian citizens, which has kept his support rate in Russia relatively high. Moreover, during Stepashin's administration, Russia's foreign exchanges changed from those of the first Russian president when he came to power.

He was weak and became tough, which also made many Russians who missed the glory of the Soviet Union firmly support him. If nothing happened that greatly damaged Stepashin's prestige, Stepashin would run again a few years later.

As the President of Russia, it is very likely that he will successfully be re-elected as the President of Russia. If Khordokovsky insists on being an "enemy" with Stepashin, then Stepashin will not allow any mistakes to be made against Khordokovsky.

It’s not surprising that Fitzgerald took action.

"Khordokovsky has never been in politics. He has little experience in governing a state, let alone leading a country. And at his age... What does the Prime Minister have to worry about with such nonsense?

?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Ivanovic nodded and said: "The problem is that Khordokovsky is now the richest man in the country, whether it is Yukosky Petroleum Company, Menatep Private Bank, or other companies in which he holds shares,

His performance is among the best in the country, not to mention among his peers, even in all industries. The citizens don’t know how much credit you have contributed to this and the care of His Excellency the President. They will only think that Hordokovs

Ji is a genius in business, and his ability to make money is unparalleled in the country. As you know, since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, our country's economy has still not returned to the level before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Now is another period of economic crisis, so the Prime Minister also

We have to give him enough attention. As for his age...although he is indeed a bit younger, in recent years, there have been many young heads of state in the world."

Fang Mingyuan was speechless. According to Ivanovic, Khordokovsky had an interest in the presidential throne. Could it be that he still had himself to blame?

"The Prime Minister has communicated with Khordokovsky through multiple channels, hoping that he will not support the opposition party, let alone join the opposition party. And, as you just said, the Prime Minister also made suggestions to him, if he wants to become an

As a qualified president, Khordokovsky should first participate in politics. He can run for regional leaders, or participate in parliamentary elections. After he has sufficient work experience, he can then run for president. This is a responsible attitude towards the country and the people.

.A businessman with no political experience suddenly became the president of a country, and the president of a nuclear power. The Prime Minister will never allow this kind of thing to happen in Russia!" Ivanovic said seriously, "I think this is the case.

The result is definitely not what your country and you want to see, right?"

Fang Mingyuan was silent and nodded slowly. Ivanovich was right. Khordokovsky has no formal political experience, which is indeed a huge weakness of him. If he becomes the president of Russia in one fell swoop,

, no one can be sure whether his governing style will lead Russia to an unknown future. For China, which is adjacent to Russia, this is not something to laugh about.

The phone on the table suddenly rang. Ivanovic took three steps at a time and picked up the phone. After a while, he put the phone down. The other party Mingyuan smiled and said: "Fang, the Prime Minister has already known about your arrival. Invite

You'd like to have lunch with him, and we'll go to the White House."

Ivanovic spoke so politely, and Fang Mingyuan had nothing to deal with immediately, so he came to the White House accompanied by Ivanovic. This White House is not the other White House. The American White House is known to the world, but the Russian White House is located in Moscow.

The Prime Minister's Office, the seat of the Russian government in the bustling area of ​​the city center, is not that well-known. It was originally the seat of the People's Congress and the Supreme Soviet of the former Soviet Union. After Russia's famous October Incident, it was changed to the Russian Government Building and became the Russian Government Building.

The office of the Prime Minister of the Federal Government and government officials. After Stepashin became Prime Minister, he moved here from the Kremlin.

With Ivanovic by his side, Fang Mingyuan entered the White House without any obstruction. The journey was smooth and he soon arrived at a room that was not too big.

"Fang, the Prime Minister usually dines here, let's wait here first." Ivanovic said, "What would you like to drink? Vodka? Tea? Coffee?"

"Coffee bar." Fang Mingyuan sweated secretly. Russians are a people who drink like water. He was not polite about vodka. Soon a waiter brought a cup of coffee, but Ivanovic chose vodka.

People started talking casually.

Ivanovic mentioned that after entering 2009, the crime rate in Russia showed signs of increasing significantly. It was obvious that the "sudden" economic crisis had hit the Russian economy and had a serious negative impact on Russian society. A large number of

Russians have either lost their jobs or had their wages cut. However, the situation of Russia's domestic heavy industry being developed and light industry being looked down upon has not been fundamentally resolved even after many years. It relies heavily on overseas imports, and at a time when revenue from resource exports, including oil, has plummeted.

Now, there is nothing surprising about this result.

After all, Ivanovic is only the Minister of the Interior and does not have a deep understanding of the economy. However, Fang Mingyuan knows how hard this economic crisis has hit Russia. In the first three quarters, Russia's domestic GDP dropped by nearly 100%.

Tenth, in this last quarter, at least judging from the news received by Fan Mingyuan, there are no signs of improvement. In other words, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Russia's domestic GDP will decline by 10% in 2009.

, unless a miracle happens in the last two months.

The unemployment rate in Russia is also very high. It once reached more than 8 million people. This is quite shocking for Russia with a total population of 145 million. So many people cannot find a job.

, coupled with those families who cannot guarantee the normal living expenses of their families even if they have jobs, the increase in the number of crimes in Russian society is also an inevitable result.
