Chapter 632 Seeking Political Contributions

"Nice to meet you, a talented young businessman from China. I am the assistant to the president, Sverdlov Uralki Belevsky." The old man took off his hat, showing a weather-beaten face, He held out his hand with a smile.

Fang Mingyuan was taken aback. Although Nicholas had mentioned that the old man's identity was very important, what did he say?Aide to the President?Assistant to Russian President Yeltsin?This identity is indeed very important.However, what is the assistant of Russian President Yeltsin looking for?
However, if he was surprised, Fang Mingyuan still smiled and reached out to shake hands with the old man Belevsky and said, "Nikolasky, you really gave me a surprise, Mr. Belevsky, it's an honor to meet you."

"Haha, we have heard of Mr. Fang's name for a long time. At the age of Xiaoxiao, he founded the Carrefour supermarket, and he also got the attention of the Wal-Mart Group in the United States, and reached a cooperation with you. Besides, Mr. Fang also has oil futures. During the period of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, Mr. Fang gained a lot in the world crude oil market, and he also forged a deep friendship with members of the royal families of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.” Berevsky said. Said, while observing Fang Mingyuan's expression, "In the year before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Mr. Fang entered the Chinese market on a large scale, borrowed huge sums of money from banks, and purchased a large number of mines of Chinese enterprises. Depreciation is also extremely rewarding."

Fang Mingyuan was secretly startled, although he also understood that in this world, the power of an individual is hard to compare with the power of the government, especially these world powers, as long as they want to investigate something, they want to hide it so much They can be said to be difficult to ascend to the sky.But when Belevsky sat in front of him like this, and described a few things that he was proud of in his life, how could he not be touched?Moreover, what does this Russian mean by mentioning these things at the first meeting?
While Belevsky said, he was also secretly amazed at Fang Mingyuan's calm expression. Such a young man is really too rare. No wonder he can achieve such impressive results at such a young age.

"Mr. Belevsky, it seems that you have investigated my situation in detail, but I don't understand. What are you trying to explain by talking about it?" Fang Mingyuan said frankly, "If Mr. Belevsky wants to Through these things, tell me, if we can see all your information clearly, then you have succeeded. However, what do you think is the use of this?"

Belevsky choked on Fang Mingyuan's rhetorical question.Yes, what is the use of this thing?Even if it is publicized, it will only let the people of the world know that there is such a young rich man, so as to establish a new standard, it seems that there is no new effect.

Maybe it will add some obstacles to the Fang family in China. It is said that officials and people in China are the most despised people who are rich.But what good is this for the Russian government?It's just that he offended a strongman, Belevsky, who has few talents in the world in business, and has lived in this world for dozens of years. Like Fang Mingyuan, he used legitimate means to obtain such It's not that there are people with a lot of wealth, but most of them are inherited from inheritance. It's really rare for Fang Mingyuan to fight in the international market with his ability and vision.

If it is said that Fang Mingyuan's earning money in Russia is unjustifiable, I'm afraid the Russians themselves won't be able to open their mouths about it.If your own currency depreciates and causes your own economic losses, is it possible that others will pay for it?When people bought your company's mines, they gave them the full amount of rubles. They didn't deliberately lower the price, nor did they make troubles. Compared with those vampires in Western developed countries, the civilization cannot be more civilized.You can't tell nonsense with your eyes open, saying that people can manipulate the Russian government to decide to devalue the currency?If it is said that earning money from Russia legally will be dissatisfied by the Russian government, then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and panic among foreign investors. This is obviously not a good thing for Russia, which is in urgent need of foreign investment.

"Mr. Fang made a joke. I didn't mean it. I just wanted to see what a young man who can create such a miracle looks like." Belevsky laughed, but the eyes were completely different. smile.Originally, he wanted to use this to suppress Fang Mingyuan's aura, and let him understand that this is Russia, not China. His every move is under the control of the Russian government, but Fang Mingyuan asked bluntly, but it opened the door. That layer of window paper - I know you all know that, but so what?Fang Mingyuan, who thought he had nothing to do with falling into the hands of the Russian government, was naturally fearless.

Although Belevsky was smiling, he felt a little bitter in his heart.This time, he came to see Fang Mingyuan through Nicholassky, but he had a major mission. If he really fell out with Fang Mingyuan, he would have no place to cry.

At this time, Russia is not only in economic difficulties, but its economic level is constantly declining. Politically, the Russian president and the parliament are also inextricably fighting, although at present, the Russian president still has a slight upper hand.But at the Eighth People's Congress in Russia, the president clashed with the parliament again.After a fierce battle, the General Assembly rejected the President's request for a referendum on constitutional amendments, withdrew the special powers granted to the President by the Fifth National People's Congress, and reaffirmed the clauses in the Constitution that limited the President's power.Faced with strong offensives and accusations, the president twice left the venue angrily.

However, after a month and a half of intermittent discussions, the Russian Constituent Assembly did not go well, and only adopted a new draft constitution that took into account the opinions of all parties.Although the draft affirms a bicameral parliament in principle, it is only a "semi-finished product" after all, and the presidential constitution that the president wants is still far away.In order to completely defeat political opponents and make himself a truly powerful president, the president needs funds and new allies

Belevsky is the person behind the fundraising for the president.

The reason why they went to Fang Mingyuan was also because they pondered over and over again. Compared with those investors in western developed countries and these economic oligarchs in China, the political demands that this young Chinese man might put forward were the smallest.
In their view, Fang Mingyuan's background is relatively simple, at least he is not an agent of Huaxia State-owned Capital, which is the best condition.The president is not afraid of temporary economic losses, but such incidental political requirements are generally very troublesome to deal with, and may also be a hidden danger in the future.Moreover, Huaxia has been paying attention to the development of the domestic economy in recent years, and its external expansion is not strong. Hehe, to put it bluntly, it is that it can't even take care of its own family property, let alone have the energy to think about other people's family property.So it's also more reassuring.

Moreover, compared with the funds from western developed countries, Fang Mingyuan is obviously a new force. New force means full of drive, but also immaturity.It's not like facing those agents of capital in western developed countries like old foxes, who can only get results that don't match what they paid and what they got after exhausting their tongues.Although, before coming here, I was already mentally prepared to be hemorrhaged by the other party, but no one would refuse to pay less.

"Mr. Belevsky, I'm afraid you didn't come to me just to look at me? If there's anything you need, you might as well just talk about it straight away." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Your time is precious, mine is mine." It's not that a ruble is worthless. If you can talk about it, you can talk about it. If you can't talk about it, Mr. Belevsky can find someone else, so you don't have to waste time with me."

"Okay, Mr. Fang is really a happy person," Belevsky said in admiration.It's just that no one here took his admiration seriously. "This time I came here to 'borrow' money from Mr. Fang..."

Belevsky said it very tactfully, but Fang Mingyuan quickly understood that this person was simply asking for political donations
Political donations, to put it bluntly, refer to political donations received by political party organizations or individual candidates from citizens and groups in their own countries.In countries around the world, it can be said that political donations are a normalized phenomenon in democratic politics.Because unlike the one-party countries such as China, North Korea, and the former Soviet Union, in any multi-party system, regular elections and the daily political activities of parties and candidates require a lot of funds, relying solely on the assets owned by the parties or candidates themselves It is difficult to satisfy, and the country will not provide it, so it must be collected from the society in various ways.

However, political donations also provide an opportunity for individuals or groups with financial strength to use money to influence political operations, thus giving rise to the criticized "money power politics".In all countries in the world, there are many politicians who have fallen into a crisis of trust due to political donation scandals, and even have to step down.Fang Mingyuan had the impression that former German Prime Minister Kohl, British Prime Minister Brown and the US Bush administration had all faced similar incidents.

Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered, it seems that this year, the current president of Russia even did not hesitate to shed blood and use force in order to remove obstacles on his political path, even though he took great risks including his political reputation and brazenly ordered the army to bombard "" The White House" - Russia's parliament building, thus completely resolving the dispute between the president and the parliament
