Khordokowski and Chudakal did not go home, but returned to the office of Khordokowski, a private bank of Menatep.As soon as he entered the door, Kordokowski handed over the lists that Fang Mingyuan gave him to his secretary Anne, and asked her to arrange staff to investigate the status quo of these enterprises immediately.

On the way back, the two of them, who had gone through the list carefully, were sitting in Khordokowski's office. Their minds were overwhelmed, and various thoughts came and went like a revolving lantern. go.

"Mihai, do you think there is any conspiracy involved?" Chudakal couldn't help but ask.There is an old saying in China, if you don't have anything to do, you can steal it.In Russia, of course, there are similar arguments.Fang Mingyuan's proposed cooperation this time is really too generous. Chudakal thought about it along the way, and always felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Antosha, then what kind of conspiracy do you think is involved?" Khordokowski asked rhetorically.

"I didn't see anything about the conspiracy, but don't you think this condition is too generous? Almost most of the risks are borne by him, and we only need to find an oil company with an annual output of more than 5000 million tons." It is enough to acquire the company and convince the government to agree to build this oil pipeline. The difficulty lies in whether we can acquire an oil company with such a large production volume," Chudakal said, shaking his head.

In Russia, the exchange of crude oil exports has existed since the Soviet era. To build an oil pipeline, as long as it can obtain the permission of the relevant departments, it is actually not too difficult.A company with an annual output of 5000 million tons of crude oil is more troublesome. All oil companies with such a large output are state-owned enterprises.

"This is not difficult. We can acquire an oil company and then acquire other domestic companies. Besides, it is not impossible to acquire state-owned enterprises." Khordokowski said softly.He can understand Chudakal's mood. Indeed, such a favorable condition is really exciting, but he can't help but wonder, what is the other party planning?What was it for that made Fang Mingyuan willing to pay such a high price?
"That's the problem. I just can't figure out what he's planning. My heart is always a little dangdang, not at ease." Chudakal said angrily.

"Maybe...he just wants to transport Russian crude oil to China," Khordokowski said softly.

"5000 million tons a year, one billion tons in 20 years, this is not water, this is crude oil. Even if all the crude oil prices are based on the current international market crude oil price, the total amount may be over [-] billion US dollars. Such a large amount, Huaxia It’s not that I don’t have oil fields, how could I run out of them?” Chudakal said with a look of disbelief, “If it’s Japanese, I can understand.”

"Antosha, if you put this condition on the table of those people, do you think they will refuse?" Khordokowski sighed lightly, Chudakal is a good partner, and he is also a good partner. A good manager, but sometimes lacks courage.In life, sometimes, all you need is the blood of gambling.If he hadn't taken the risk of setting up a cooperative at that time, how could there be the Menatep Private Bank today.

Chudakal pondered for a while, then let out a long sigh, and slumped on the chair.He understood what Khodokowski meant. If he said he did not accept this condition, then Fang Mingyuan could find other people in the country, and would those people refuse such a favorable condition?It was impossible that they would agree to those guys without hesitation, but each of them was like a greedy wolf, and they would never open their mouths when they called for food.Such a promising cooperation, they will fight to the death.If everything goes well, then he and Khordokowski will become the laughing stock of everyone, because a huge opportunity has fallen in front of them, but they missed such a rare opportunity because of fear.

It suddenly occurred to Chudakal that if he hadn't considered such a sensitive business field as the oil company, and the big deal of exporting 5000 million tons a year, Fang Mingyuan probably wouldn't have needed to find himself and Kordokowski at all. The cooperation can be completed by Aso Xiangyue.Although there are many factories and mines acquired by Aso Xiangyue before, the value is quite huge, but because they are scattered in multiple business fields, the share in each field is not a big deal, so the Russian government I am not afraid, but if Kazuki Aso owns an oil company that exports 5000 million tons of crude oil a year, the Russian government may not tolerate her.

"According to the Chinese people, this should be called Yangmou, which is an aboveboard plan, so that you can't say no at all." Holdowkovsky shook his head and continued, "It's not just that you can't say no." Come on, I don’t even think about bargaining with him. You know, at the moment he raised the conditions, I only had ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’ in my heart.” What he said was real. Khordokowski has long been interested in getting involved in the oil industry. However, after Menatep Private Bank has acquired many companies, firstly, it does not have a lot of active funds in its hands, and secondly, it will take time to digest these acquisitions. Enterprise, that's why I didn't reach out for the time being.Now that Fang Mingyuan gave him such an opportunity, how could he not be tempted?
Chudakal waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "You are better than me. I didn't even have the thought of refusing at that time. I wish I could sign a formal contract with him at that time."

"So, we don't have the confidence to reject this proposal at all. This Fang Ming is far from simple. He just spent money so that we have no choice." Khordokowski was not worried at all whether Fang Mingyuan would be able to come up with the money, The fact that Nikolaisky and Aso Kazuki were able to sit there fully proved his financial resources.If it is said that Nikolaisky and Aso Xiangyue were also deceived, then it is not surprising that Khordokowski fell into this stumble.What's more, while he was looking at the list that Fang Mingyuan threw to him, he roughly estimated the value in his mind, and the total value exceeded [-] million US dollars.Who would believe a liar who sold a deal worth [-] million U.S. dollars, and the money was still stored in Menatep's private bank?

"Do you think he is the official representative of Huaxia?" Although Fang Mingyuan had already denied it once at that time, Chudakal still felt that he was not guaranteed.

"If he is an official representative of China, so what? Has Moscow banned the export of crude oil to China?" Khordokowski gave Chudakal a blank stare, if Fang Mingyuan is really an official representative of China , then this matter will be easier to handle, and the support of the government is more powerful than that of individuals.Although the average salary of Chinese people is not high, their overall gross national product is quite a huge amount.

Chudakal laughed twice, yes, Moscow does not prohibit the export of crude oil to Huaxia. Now that the government is financially tight, if it can increase crude oil exports to China and sell tens of millions of tons of crude oil, I am afraid President Yeltsin will give you medals.

Holdokovsky rested his chin with his hands, his eyes were a little confused. Fang Mingyuan's seemingly reckless move actually pushed Holdowkovsky to a dead end. Now he can only "agree" and "not agree" If you want to add content that is beneficial to the other party in the conditions, it is probably no problem; but if you want to add content that is beneficial to your own side, Khordokowski himself dare not open his mouth, because he thinks As long as he dared to speak up, Fang Mingyuan would turn his head and leave, looking for other people to cooperate.This piece of big pie from the sky has never been with me since then.

Fang Mingyuan's next day's itinerary was to go to Moscow's Red Square, not because he hadn't been here before, but to see the GUM department store in Moscow.

GUM Department Store is the largest department store in Moscow and one of the most fashionable leisure shopping places in Moscow.The three-row, three-story corridor-style shopping mall covers an area of ​​nearly 25000 square meters, and the number of shops is staggering.It is also one of the most expensive stores in Russia, and the people who come to buy things are the richest people in Russia.The upper part of the third floor of the shopping mall is a 400-meter-long curved glass roof.The elaborate roof is made of iron and glass, resembling a nineteenth-century railway station.It is also one of the largest department stores in Europe and one of the ten world-renowned department stores, just opposite Lenin's Mausoleum in Red Square.It was opened three years ago, and it was opened and unveiled by the then Tsar Alexander III himself, and it has been a hundred years since then.

Rather than saying it is a store, it is more like a palace. The beige building with a very European classical style and the magnificent church next to it harmoniously form a beautiful scenery on the Red Square.The GUM department store is divided into three floors and consists of more than 1000 specialty stores. There are not only Russian-style porcelain, handicrafts, clothing, department stores and other boutiques, but also a dazzling array of imported goods.Over the years, Gum has been invincible with its size and completeness, and even through the economic depression, it has also tenaciously tinged down.

"Fang, have you seen the fountain? Many Muscovites use the GUM department store as a dating place. As long as they say meet by the fountain, they will not mistake the place." Aso Xiangyue took Fang Mingyuan's arm , Pointing to the distance.Fang Mingyuan could feel his elbows touching her plump breasts.Of course, the two of them have a tacit understanding, so they enjoy the tenderness between each other.Fortunately, it was Lin Rong's first time to come to Moscow with Fang Mingyuan, and she was dazzled by the completely different style from Huaxia, and she could not take care of her secretary's duties for the time being.

"Are there any stores opened by Chinese people here?" Fang Mingyuan asked softly. He noticed that after walking around the GUM department store, among the stores he saw, brands from Europe and the United States occupied the majority of the stores. The vast majority, and the few that look Asian, are also Japanese and Korean brands.But he didn't see a single brand from China.

"Fang, it may make people very unhappy to say this, but the fact is that Huaxia's products can only be bought in low-end shopping malls in Moscow, and it is difficult to see them in GUM Department Store." Aso Xiangyue hesitated for a moment.This answer was not beyond Fang Mingyuan's expectation, but it still sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Fang, I heard that General Manager Sun intends to bring Carrefour to Moscow?" Aso Xiangyue asked.

"Well, it's true." Fang Mingyuan nodded.When he learned that he was coming to Moscow, Sun Zhaolun did ask him to take a field trip to Moscow’s store industry when he was free, to see if it was possible to open the first foreign branch of Carrefour Supermarket to the capital of Russia Come to Moscow.

Today's Carrefour supermarkets have guaranteed at least one large-scale Carrefour supermarket in every first-tier city in China, and are developing into second- and third-tier cities.Sun Zhaolun is not satisfied with only being a chain supermarket based on the domestic market, so how to expand overseas markets is on the company's agenda.

The United States and Europe are not in Sun Zhaolun's consideration for the time being. After all, they are the headquarters of Wal-Mart Group and Carrefour Group. It is not easy for Carrefour Supermarket, which has been established for less than ten years, to gain a firm foothold there. thing.Therefore, the market in neighboring countries is Sun Zhaolun's first choice.

Sun Zhaolun had thought about Southeast Asia, Japan and Russia. As for South Korea, he had thought about it, but Fang Mingyuan was not interested in it at all.Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally reached a consensus, that is, to give up Japan temporarily, and either go south or go north.

Fang Mingyuan had no objection to going south to Southeast Asian countries, but considering that the financial crisis in Southeast Asia would break out in a few years, followed by the turmoil in Indonesia, it was not a good time to rush south now.

Fang Mingyuan was a little tempted to go north to Russia.Although it is said that the Southeast Asian financial crisis in a few years will also affect Russia, but after all, it is not as messy as the losses of Southeast Asian countries.Moreover, as a country that straddles Eurasia, Russia still has considerable influence on Central Asian and Eastern European countries.And for Russia, which is now in a period of economic transition, there is still a big market for Chinese products.If the branch of Carrefour supermarket can gain a firm foothold in Russia, then gradually penetrate into Central Asia and Eastern European countries, and finally enter Western European countries, this is a feasible method.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan was very worried about the fact that Huaxia's products originally occupied a considerable market share in Russia in his previous life, but because of the rampant counterfeit and shoddy products, his own brand was ruined.You must know that after 2000, due to the skyrocketing price of crude oil in the world, the living standards of Russians have also greatly improved, and their consumption power cannot be underestimated.

So this time when he came to Moscow, he asked for the business situation in Moscow.
