Chapter 614 Make a deal

"Huh..." Chudakar let out a long breath and secretly untied the belt around his waist a little. This meal was indeed a bit filling. In fact, it wasn't just him, Hordokovsky

I have a similar feeling to Nikolasky. Of course, they are now well-known figures in the Russian business community, and of course they will not be short of money. They have never eaten anything delicious, but authentic Chinese food like Fang Mingyuan is still quite rare in Russia.

Especially for this meal, Fang Mingyuan had been preparing for this dinner a month ago. Not only did he invite the country's top chefs, but he also specially took care of Russian tastes in the selection of dishes, plus three

After ten years of cellaring fine wine, Chudakar and the others would be damned if they are still not satisfied.

Although it was almost seven o'clock, the sky in Moscow was still quite bright. The leftovers on the table had been removed, and the butler Miharovitch served tea and coffee according to everyone's different requests.

"Mr. Fang, thank you for your warm hospitality tonight!" Hordokovsky put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile on his face, "I heard that Mr. Fang also owns a chain of restaurants in China. I guess the business must be very good.

Is the place prosperous? I wonder if you are interested in opening a few branches in Moscow?”

"I'm very satisfied if I can satisfy Chairman Hordokovsky. The restaurant's business is pretty good. I've thought about opening a branch in your country, but I don't know if these dishes suit the taste of your people."

." Fang Mingyuan said with some humor in his heart. He also understood that Hordokovsky was definitely not concerned about whether the Fang family's restaurant would open in Moscow, but was just looking for a random topic.

"Fang, I'm afraid it's not the right time to open a branch. Although this Chinese food tastes good, it's not cheap. In Russia today, I'm afraid most people still can't afford it." Nikolasky shook his head slightly and sighed.

Dao. A superpower that was once able to compete with the United States has fallen to its current situation. He, who has no worries about food and clothing, is quite emotional.

"Vice President Nikolasky is right. I'm afraid most people can't afford this price. But if Mr. Fang wants to do this, it's not impossible. As long as he can make a name for himself among the upper echelons of Moscow, haha, I believe Mr. Fang

It’s also a source of wealth.” Chudakar smiled and said, “At least I believe that the three of us will definitely come to support it!” Hordokovsky and Nikolasky also nodded repeatedly.

A few people chatted casually, and the topic slowly turned to the issue of Russia's economic development.

Today's Russia is in a period of economic transformation. The domestic economy can be said to be in chaos. The gross national product can be said to be declining year by year, and the national income is also declining accordingly. Hordokovsky and others are also quite concerned about this.

Because of the headache. Although they all make a lot of money, a turbulent Russia is not what they want to see.

"The Sino-Russian trade has been increasing steadily in the past few years. If it were not for the import of large quantities of cheap goods from China, the Russians would have a harder time. It's just that the prices of your Chinese goods are indeed lower than those of Western countries.

But the quality is uneven." Hordokovsky turned to look at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Mr. Fang, is the quality of goods in your country also the same? As far as I know, your country sells to the United States.

and European products, but they have received considerable praise.”

Fang Mingyuan felt his face heat up. Hordokovsky's question was really not that easy to answer. China's product quality problem is a problem that will be difficult to solve even in the next century. The government departments are not doing their job well, and

The existence of local protectionism has caused counterfeit and shoddy products to spread from the initial daily necessities to food, alcohol, and medicine. The rampant counterfeit goods have become a cancer in China's economic development. As for the products sold to Western developed countries, why

But there is no such problem. This is because the country attaches great importance to exports, and also because Western developed countries attach great importance to the quality of goods.

Fang Mingyuan remembered reading an article, which mentioned China's exports to Japan. The Japanese government inspected China's agricultural products very strictly when importing them, and would not be lenient in dealing with problems once they were discovered. One of the measures was,

Once it is discovered that the quality of agricultural products from a certain place is substandard, a red card will be given to the export of agricultural products in this area. For example, for example, if you are exporting green onions from a certain place in Shandong Province, it does not matter whether you are from this county or city.

In any jurisdiction, as long as substandard products are found to come from this area, the Japanese will refuse to import all green onions from this area.

This has resulted in the fact that not only the local government attaches great importance to the production of agricultural products, but also every farmer's household will pay attention to the green onion production of their own and their neighbors, because this is a major event related to their annual income. Although this connection is

Many people are dissatisfied with this approach, but they have to admit that through this method, local protectionism has lost its role that has been repeatedly banned in the country.

"Mr. Hordokovsky, I do not deny that what you said is true. Counterfeit and shoddy products do exist in China. I think this is not only unique to China, but also to the world." This phenomenon exists to a greater or lesser extent in various countries. I believe it also exists in Russia. Of course, this does not mean that I think its existence is legal and reasonable. The Carrefour supermarket under the name of our Fang family has always been We are committed to preventing such products from entering the market. If Mr. Hordokovsky is interested, I can invite you to visit the quality inspection center of our Carrefour supermarket in China in the future. Every product, even the same manufacturer Different batches of goods must be inspected by the Quality Inspection Center before entering the shelves of Carrefour supermarkets. The Quality Inspection Center has a veto power over the listing of goods! Moreover, the products we sell to Russia and Western countries are also Go through the same procedures to ensure that there will be no fake or shoddy products. However, China has a vast territory and a large population, so it is inevitable that such black sheep will appear, which is also unavoidable in the process of my country's economic reform." Fang Mingyuan explained.

"By the way, Mr. Hordokovsky, Menatep Private Bank is now a powerful group enterprise. I wonder what field Hordokovsky plans to develop next?" Fang Mingyuan didn't want to.

He struggled with Hordokovsky on this issue, which opened up the topic.

Hordokovsky smiled and said: "What others say about our strength is what others say. Compared with Mr. Fang's business overseas, we are nothing. As for the next step? We are still considering it now."

"I wonder what Mr. Hordokovsky thinks about the current situation of your country's crude oil industry?" Fang Mingyuan continued.

Hordokovsky and Chudakar suddenly felt something in their hearts. Recently, Hordokovsky and Chudakar were indeed paying attention to the Russian crude oil industry. The turmoil in the Gulf has caused international

The price of crude oil in the market also fluctuates, but overall, the price of crude oil in the international market is gradually rising. Hordokovsky and Chudakar believe that as a non-renewable resource, it is called "

The price of crude oil, which is the "blood of industry", will inevitably rise year by year. As a major oil-producing country in the world, Russia has very rich crude oil reserves. In addition to ensuring its own needs, Russia produces a large amount of crude oil every year.

exports. If we can seize the opportunity of today's privatization and take an oil company into our own hands, the future prospects are limitless. Just think about BP Oil and the oil kings of the United States. In their respective countries,

Hordokovsky couldn't be more yearned for the huge influence here.

However, what does Fang Mingyuan do when he suddenly mentions the crude oil industry?

"Russia's crude oil industry is no longer what it used to be. The equipment is aging and the exploration of oil reserves has been stopped for several years. It can be said that it is going downhill." Hordokovsky said cautiously.

"Mr. Hordokovsky doesn't mean what he said. Okay, let's be honest. I want to make a deal with Mr. Hordokovsky!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"What deal?" Hordokovsky and Chudakar looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that the highlight of the evening was coming!

"If Mr. Khordokovsky is very interested in your country's crude oil industry, then we can continue to talk. If Mr. Khordokovsky is not interested in your country's crude oil industry,

Then I have no choice but to find another partner. Of course, in order to prevent Mr. Hordokovsky from running away in vain, I am willing to transfer some of these enterprises to Menatep Private Bank at a suitable price."

Fang Mingyuan put a few pieces of paper on the table as he spoke, "So far, these companies are operating normally. Although they cannot create much profit, they are not losing money."

Hordokovsky didn't even look at the pieces of paper on the table. He stared straight at Fang Mingyuan, but he was calculating rapidly in his mind.

Fang Mingyuan was not in a hurry and waited for his answer with a smile. He did not believe that Hordokovsky would not take the bait.

Nikolasky and Chudakar also looked at the two people without saying a word, waiting for Hordokovsky's answer.

"If Mr. Fang has any ideas, you might as well come and talk about it!" Hordokovsky finally spoke, but there was a hint of vibrato in his voice.
