Chapter 6 Ten Meetings for the First Time
Menatep Private Bank can be said to be the core of the business empire created by Khordokovsky. It is through Menatep Private Bank that Gaidar and Chubais, the core figures of the Russian youth reformers, During the days when the two most fanatical believers in "shock therapy" were pushed to the front desk of the Russian government to preside over government work, Khodorkovsky used his accumulated contacts in the former Soviet government, and Khodor The financial system that Kowski and his team developed during the early months of Gaidar's administration increased his capital exponentially.Because Khodorkovsky soon discovered that building his own financial network, or privatizing the flow of government funds, was one of the most profitable businesses in the Russian market economy.

Then, in Chubais's securities i-capitalization reform, the Russian government decided to fairly distribute the assets accumulated by the Soviet Union for nearly 70 years to every Russian.Although the idea is good, its disadvantages are obvious when it is actually put into operation. Kordokowski seized this opportunity and, through a series of carefully designed acquisitions, bought the metal processing plant. Many enterprises including textile factories, glass factories and food processing factories have formed a huge financial-industrial group.

Of course, Aso Xiangyue was not idle at that time, but at that time, in order to avoid the capital in Aso Xiangyue's hands from being too conspicuous in Russia, a considerable part of the funds had actually been transferred to Lin Lian's hands, but even so , During the overt and secret acquisition process, the two also held many Russian companies in their hands.It's just that many companies, even if they don't know it, their ownership is actually in the hands of foreigners.

A group of people came to the i conference room on the top floor, and the guests and hosts were seated separately. Khordokowski's secretary, Anne, led the reception staff from the bank to bring tea and fruit to everyone, and then let them all retreat. .

During this period, Khordokowski found an excuse, temporarily left the conference room, and called Nikolaisky in his office. When he returned to the conference room, Chudakal obviously saw When it came to Khordokowski's eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

Fang Mingyuan noticed the change in Khordokowski's expression. In fact, Nicholas had already received his instructions. Of course, he knew what to say and what not to say.But what Khordokowski could know was enough to make him excited.

Kordokowski was very excited because Nicholas had clearly told him that Fang Mingyuan was one of the largest i-operated companies in China and the eldest son of the Fang family, the major shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket Group, the largest supermarket chain in China. Eldest grandson, of course, what Nicholassky said was not like that, but that Fang Mingyuan is the actual controller of the Carrefour supermarket group.And told him that Fang Mingyuan would purchase a batch of rough diamonds from ALROSA every year.It is the largest i-person buyer of rough diamonds from ALROSA.He doesn't know what Carrefour Supermarket is like, but it is conceivable that it can become the largest company in a certain field in a country, especially a big country like China.Regardless of what Fang Mingyuan wanted to do when he came to Menatep Private Bank today?After all, there is no harm in getting to know a rich man.

Everyone was chatting casually, deepening their mutual understanding. Of course, this was mainly on the side of Khordokowski and Chudakal. As for Fang Mingyuan, I believe he knew him better than Khordokowski. future
The more Kordokowski and Chudakal heard, the more surprised they were, especially when they learned that Fang Mingyuan had close ties with celebrities in Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong, and he also had a world-renowned film company under his command. When classic films such as "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" were all produced by this company, the surprise in my heart was beyond words.

After the economic reforms of Gaidar and Chubais, Khordokovsky can already be regarded as a leading figure in the first echelon of the Russian business community. His economic strength is not to be underestimated, but compared with Fang Mingyuan, This is very different from the contacts of business figures in other countries.To put it bluntly, the current Khordokowski and Menatep private banks can rule the roost when they are locked up in Russia. In the international community, Khordokowski’s influence is still Almost can be called zero.As for Fang Mingyuan's influence in Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong, that would be after 2000, when Yukorsky Petroleum Company became an important oil production company in Russia.

Moreover, Holdokovsky and Chudakal also thought, could this Fang Mingyuan be one of the providers of the huge funds owned by Aso Xiangyue?Otherwise, why Aso Xiangyue always behaved so respectfully in front of him, although it was not obvious, but the two of them were also people who broke through the former Soviet system, so they could still detect it.

Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue didn't stay at Menatep Private Bank for long. After extensive exchanges with Khordovsky and Chudakal on the current situation of the Russian economy, Fang Mingyuan's At the request, the two accompanied him to visit the Menatep Private Bank. In less than two minutes, Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue got up and left.

As expected by Holdokovsky and Chudakal, before leaving, Fang Mingyuan sent an invitation to the dinner for the next day to Holdokovsky and Chudakal.The two naturally accepted it happily.Watching the convoy go away, Khordokowski and Chudakal felt a little uneasy.

"Annie, I will cancel all other schedules and activities today. As long as someone is not running on the bank, don't bother us," Khordokowski said with a gloomy face.

"Mikhail, what do you think Fang Mingyuan wants to do?" Chudakal scratched his head.In the conversation when he came to i just now, the scope of Russian economy was too broad, and he couldn't detect which topic Fang Mingyuan seemed to be more interested in. In this way, it was impossible to think about the relationship between Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue. intention.

"Hey, there are two possibilities, one is to swallow us, and the other is to join forces with us," Khordokowski sneered.He has played tricks like this many times, but he is also a little upset that the same treatment fell on him today.

"Swallow us?" Chudakal was taken aback. This is not a matter. The capital held by Aso Xiangyue is only above them and not below them. If she is really interested in Menatep Private Bank Well, that's a hell of a hassle for them

"Don't worry, I don't think it's possible to swallow us. What we really care about is the Menatep Private Bank. However, in Russia today, there are many banks suitable for their mergers and acquisitions. There is no need to keep an eye on us. Yes. More likely, it should be that they are looking at some project that requires the cooperation of Russians." Khordokowski said softly.Although the Soviet Union has disintegrated and Russia's current economy is in a mess, nationalism is also on the rise in Russia.Citizens are very dissatisfied with the status quo of foreign capital swallowing everything in Russia. Those smart foreign capitals have now adopted the method of cooperating with locals to acquire assets in Russia.

"That's a rare opportunity," Chudakal said after a moment of silence.Menatep private bank has developed to the present, although it has grown rapidly, but it is not strong, and one of the most important points is that they do not have much influence in the world, and their industrial tentacles cannot reach the border of Russia .

"Well, it's a rare opportunity." Khordokowski glanced at Chudakal, and the two smiled knowingly.

In fact, despite the fact that the two jointly control nearly 90.00% of the shares of Menatep Private Bank, their personal assets have increased tens of thousands of times in the past few years, but the money is hot. This is because they did it before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the past few days, they took advantage of national policy loopholes and obtained them through a series of seemingly legal methods, but in fact they were tantamount to embezzling state-owned assets.While the two were delighted, they naturally also had to consider what would happen if the government settled accounts later in the fall.

The best way to deal with this possibility is of course to transfer assets abroad. Although Russia is big, there are many countries that do not sell other accounts. If these assets stay abroad, even if they cannot enjoy them at that time, they can also leave them to future generations. It's better than being caught by someone.

But this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.If there is no one to help abroad, it is also difficult to transfer assets out safely.And even if it is transferred out, it is hard to say whether it will fall into the hands of the family steadily.So the two of them were also troubled by this.

So Fang Mingyuan's arrival, if he really has influence in Japan, the United States, Hong Kong and China as he said, this is an opportunity for them to extend their industrial tentacles to Russia.If Fang Mingyuan was credible, he could also ask him to help him transfer assets.As long as they can gain a foothold abroad, they will undoubtedly have an extra way out.The saying of the cunning rabbit and the three caves is not a Chinese patent.

In that case, this cooperation is also a rare opportunity for Khordokowski and Chudakal. a! ~!
