Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 611: Take action when it’s time to take action

"Mr. Fang, do you think that Khordokovsky is worthy of your special trip?" Aso Xiangyue asked softly, "Although Menatep Private Bank has a large number of private banks in Russia,

It has great influence, but there are many banks in Russia that are stronger than it."

Fang Mingyuan stared at Aso Xiangyue's pretty face and nodded with a smile. Aso Xiangyue still doesn't know the purpose of his coming to Russia this time, so it's not surprising to have such an idea. Aso Xiangyue noticed that Fang Mingyuan

His eyes couldn't help but heat up slightly. He glanced at Lin Rong beside him and sighed softly in his heart. If only it was her sister Lin Lian that Fang Mingyuan brought with him! We wouldn't have to sit across from each other in such a pretentious manner.

It’s on.

"Xiangyue, before you come here, have you completed the list I asked you to do?" Fang Mingyuan could see what Aso Xiangyue was thinking, but he could only sit obediently. The relationship with Aso Xiangyue and the others is still with the family to this day.

No one knows, and Fang Mingyuan himself is not sure whether anyone has seen it. Therefore, he and Aso Xiangyue can only be serious in front of outsiders.

"It's done." Aso Xiangyue took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase beside her and handed them to Fang Mingyuan. This was a list of factories she had acquired in Russia over the years. Due to Fang Mingyuan's request at that time, no matter which industry, no matter what

Wherever it is in Russia, she will buy it as long as the Russian government sells it. Over the past few years, the amount has been quite astonishing, and of course the value is also astonishing.

Aso Xiangyue was so impressed by Fang Mingyuan's vision. If it weren't for Fang Mingyuan's extremely tough attitude, she would never have spent so much money to buy these factories that, in her opinion, were not worth that much money at all.

I originally thought that most of the money would be wasted, but no one thought that the two major devaluations of the ruble by the Soviet government and the Russian government would change everything. The original tens of billions of ruble loans ended up costing only

Tens of millions of dollars were paid off, and the profits that Fang Mingyuan made from it were so high that Aso Xiangyue felt dizzy just thinking about it.

If before that, Aso Xiangyue's feelings for Fang Mingyuan were still mixed with some utilitarian elements, but after that, she admired Fang Mingyuan's business talent to the point of belief, and she had completely become

Fang Mingyuan’s “believer”.

Fang Mingyuan took the list and looked through it casually. No one could guess the real purpose of his coming to Russia to meet with Khordokovsky. Because no one would have thought that Russia in his previous life would

In 1995, the mainstay enterprises of the Russian economy were privatized to these domestic rich people. Since then, a number of Russia's largest factories have been included in the auction list. In the first phase, the Soviet-era state-owned enterprises were passed

The difference is that the shares were directly distributed to the Russian people. The second phase of privatization in 1995 was called the "Auction of the Century." However, this "Auction of the Century" was organized by several major Russian economic oligarchs instead of

It was carefully planned by the youth reformers and approved and implemented by the government. This marked the beginning of the "Era of Economic Oligarchs" in which a small number of oligarchs conspired to control Russia's economic and political destiny.

In just four months, the Yeltsin government at the time sold Russia's economic lifeline—several giant mining and oil companies—to a handful of oligarchs at very low prices. And the Kremlin reaped the benefits.

It was the financial and political support of the oligarchs: Yeltsin defeated Communist leader Zyuganov in the presidential election the following year and was re-elected.

It was in this transaction that Yukosky Petroleum Company successfully "seized" Yukos, which had rich oil reserves. Yukosky Petroleum Company later developed into Russia's largest oil company, and the young Hordokovsky

He thus became the richest man in Russia. Before he was imprisoned two thousand years later, his personal assets were estimated by different sources to be between US$10 billion and US$20 billion.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan made friends with Hordokovsky in advance was, first of all, to prepare for a rainy day. If he waits until Hordokovsky takes over the Yukosky Oil Company before making friends with him, it will promote the development of crude oil between China and Russia.

During the construction of the oil pipeline, Russia had already passed its most difficult period at that time, and the resistance would be much greater. And Hordokovsky's property had also significantly improved. To convince him, it would take a lot more.

Difficulty.

Secondly, Khordokovsky did not care about his reputation in Russia or what he was like in the minds of Russian government officials, but when Khordokovsky took charge of Yukos Oil Company,

He strongly supports oil exports to China. In his previous life, the reason why the Antai-Dalian Line was later replaced by other plans had a lot to do with the fact that Khordokovsky was imprisoned and the Yukosky Oil Company was leaderless.

.If Hordokovsky had not been imprisoned, with his influence in Russia, it would not have been easy for Japan and South Korea to change the Andromeda Line, which was nearly completed at that time. Therefore, keeping Hall

Dokovsky is undoubtedly of great benefit to China!

Thirdly, if we can form an economic alliance with Hordokovsky, it will be of great benefit to Fang Mingyuan's future development in Russia. If Hordokovsky can become the richest man in Russia, his ability will also be

It's easy to imagine. If he hadn't been so arrogant later and happened to run into the power of Putin, who was also a hardliner, he wouldn't have ended up in jail.

Fang Mingyuan recalled the information about Khordokovsky in his previous life. Fortunately, this was a major event that attracted widespread attention among Chinese people. Fang Mingyuan also read a lot of information at that time, so he remembered it so clearly and in detail.

The reason why Hordokovsky ended up in that situation was actually because of Yeltsin's early resignation, and his successor Putin was at odds with these oligarchs, believing that they manipulated the Russian government's policies. But initially, Putin did not

Instead of going to war with these oligarchs, we want to reach an agreement with them - the oligarchs can retain the huge resources they gained during the Yeltsin era, but they can no longer play any role in the political field.

It’s just that these oligarchs looked down on Putin, ignored Putin’s iron fist, and simply ignored the “olive branch” he extended. Khordokovsky even provided support to the opposition parties and even hinted that he himself intended to enter the country.

In the political arena, this undoubtedly angered Putin.

Now that he knows the course of history, Fang Mingyuan has been thinking about how to change this result. Of course, Fang Mingyuan would not have thought of such a ridiculous idea to prevent Putin from coming to power. Putin, a former KGB official, has worked in the Russian intelligence agency

The influence of Beijing cannot be ignored. And even if Putin cannot come to power, there is no guarantee that Beijing will come to power. It is better to let Putin come to power. At least there is still a clue to his governing style. If

Fang Mingyuan felt that this was a more feasible plan if he could keep Hordokovsky and then influence Putin through Hordokovsky to seek greater benefits for China and the Fang family.

In order to keep Hordokovsky, he must first make him believe in himself. The work that needs to be done is not just a piece of cake. Thinking about it, Fang Mingyuan feels a headache.

Fang Mingyuan looked through the list in his hand. Before coming to Russia, he had asked Aso Xiangyue to list the industries he owned in Russia, including those manufacturers in the food, textile, glass manufacturing and processing, and metal processing industries.

Listed separately, there are about forty or fifty companies all over Russia. After acquiring these companies, Fang Mingyuan did not carry out large-scale transformation of them. He only improved their financial systems and reformed the employees' big pot.

A system of more reward for more work was implemented, and some domestic products were introduced to maintain their normal operation.

Since the domestic market is still in short supply after the disintegration of Russia, and some of the products produced are sold to the Chinese and Japanese markets, these companies have basically been able to guarantee a slight profit so far. Of course, that little profit

, for today's Fang family, they no longer take it seriously.

In Fang Mingyuan's view, these enterprises are of no use if they are kept in his hands. Their production technology has been completely understood by domestic technicians in the past few years. If they continue to be kept in their hands, although they can create profits, there is no meaning.

Not big. Rather than doing this, it is better to transfer them out in exchange for greater benefits. And these enterprises can exactly meet the needs of Menatep Private Bank. The Russian enterprises it controls are also of these types.

If Natjep Private Bank can acquire them, it will be very beneficial to enhance its own strength.

Moreover, from another perspective, it also reassures those overly sensitive Russians and reduces their possible attack surface. These idiots will not give up their domestic market like the Chinese government did.

So if you want to make money from them, you have to be more covert.

"Xiangyue, are the basic materials for these enterprises ready?" Fang Mingyuan handed the list in his hand to Lin Rong and asked casually.

"Everything is ready!" Aso Xiangyue said with excitement. Like Fang Mingyuan, Aso Xiangyue also felt that these enterprises were like useless things. It was useless to keep them. It would be a pity to throw them away. If they could be transferred out and exchanged for cash,

That is of course the best.

Fang Mingyuan is looking forward to the moment when he meets Hordokovsky tomorrow night.
