Game within game: chess player

There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. It was Sezer who personally sent Erdogan to prison in the first place, but now he did not expect that when facing a common national crisis, they could share the responsibility and come together for the same goal.

The political exchange between the two people is actually very simple. Although the two belong to different political parties, Erdogan successfully brainwashed Cezer with his eloquent sophistry. If successful, he will help Cezer overcome Turkey's economic crisis. In return, Césaire would propel him to the position of Prime Minister of the country.

Under the premise of this exchange of interests, the previous grievances between the two were wiped out. Sezer also knew very well that Turkey's current situation could only be saved by the emerging political forces represented by Erdogan. Faced with the continued infiltration of the pro-Western camp, the entire The Turkish government's political dignitaries are almost hollowed out, and the harsh reality has forced Sezer and Erdogan to reach an agreement and form a political alliance.

Now Erdogan is backed by Ye Fang, a big benefactor, and backed by the People's Bank of Turkey. He is very tough, even when facing President Cezer.

Now the funds of the entire Turkish government are almost drying up. I don’t know whether the salaries of government employees can be paid next month, which is another matter.

President Cezer is currently involved in a lawsuit. While discussing the details of the acquisition of the People's Bank of Turkey with Erdogan, someone informed that the room for talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was ready.

Sezer looked back at Erdogan. Erdogan gave Sezer a look of affirmation and said at the same time, "This round of negotiations should just be a mutual test. The only thing the IMF wants to hold us back is the funding issue. Who will express his position first?" Whoever loses, we must strive for the greatest interests for Turkey."

César nodded, and said seriously at the same time, "If you were here, maybe this situation wouldn't be like this."

"It's not too late," Erdogan said with a smile.

"I hope so." Sezer nodded to Erdogan and followed the assistant out of the office, leaving Erdogan in his office without any scruples. This was undoubtedly the ultimate tribute to Erdogan. Trust, but it also means that Erdogan’s current identity is not suitable for disclosure. After all, Erdogan is still on parole, and there is still some way to go before he can return to normal politics.

Erdogan has been staying in Sezer's office waiting for news about the first round of negotiations, and also reported the progress of the matter to Ye Fang.

"This time the IMF came with bad intentions. There must be big American capital behind it, which shows the other party's eager attitude. I always feel that MK is playing a big game in its eagerness to control Turkey's financial industry. , but I don’t know exactly what it is, after all, I have been away from international politics for some time.” Erdogan said truthfully.

Ye Fang thought for a while and said, "Our great man once said a very classic saying in the War of Liberation. The higher the high ground that the enemy wants to fight for, the more necessary it is to block it. You can tell Sezer that he does not need to worry about the exchange rate. , as long as the financial industry is stable, national confidence will be there, and the exchange rate will be stable."

"That's what I told him. Now let's see how resolute his attitude can be. People like the IMF are backed by American capital. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They can eat people without spitting out their bones. I'm worried about Sezer." I couldn't withstand the pressure from the other party and was forced to compromise. The most important thing is that I have no way to appear in the government in any capacity now. If there is no one around Cezer to support him, it may be difficult for him to persist." El Doan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he said this.

"This depends on his determination. Others can't help much." Ye Fang hung up the phone after talking to Erdogan.

Sure enough, as Erdogan expected, in the closed-door meeting between Sezer and IMF President Horst, Horst made it clear that the Turkish government must sell the assets of ten banks to MK Company, otherwise the IMF will The bailout package will not be implemented in Turkey and by implication does not guarantee the security of the Turkish lira’s exchange rate.

"This is a naked threat! And robbery!" Czer complained to Erdogan when he returned to his office.

"What did Alvin say?" Erdogan asked.

"Of course he is insisting on passing MK's acquisition plan, even if he resigns because of this matter, he is really crazy! Crazy!" Sezer cursed.

"This Alvin is really a loyal dog of the West!" Erdogan cursed.

"What should I do now? If I don't agree to MK's bank acquisition, the IMF will think that our banking system is still fragile, but the assisted loans will not work, so it will refuse assistance." Sezer asked.

"How much is the total amount of assistance from the IMF?" Erdogan asked.

"The aid plan was US$110 billion, but US$100 billion actually arrived. That US$10 billion was directly deducted when the interest was paid." Sezer casually cursed again, "This is simply a blood-sucking capitalist!"

"The IMF is now convinced that we have no funds to stabilize the exchange rate, and this part of the funds entering the foreign exchange market is also for Western capital to take over." Erdogan analyzed.

"Yes, these bastards took the money from the International Monetary Fund and blatantly extorted money. In the end, the money was returned to them! But if they don't agree, Horst meant that the exchange rate of the Turkish lira will definitely not be able to maintain its current level. No one knows what the consequences will be at that time. Moreover, these people have now let the public opinion out. Once the negotiations between the two parties break down, I am afraid there will be no need for any short-selling funds. The external market alone will be able to crush the Turkish lira. !" Césaire seems to be at his wits' end now. A clever woman can't make a living without rice. The government of a country lives the same life as ordinary people. If the family has no surplus food and has to borrow debt to survive, it will have no control over its own destiny.

Erdogan kept walking in Sezer's office, thinking about coping strategies. At this time, Erdogan was no longer an idle ordinary person, but was thinking about ways to get out of trouble from a national strategic perspective.

In Erdogan's view, what the Turkish government currently lacks is funds. For both the country and ordinary people, problems that can be solved with money are actually not big problems. The difference is that ordinary people need to pay interest to borrow money, while the country needs to sell either its dignity or the country's assets to borrow money.

The problem is that Turkey's domestic economy is now extremely bleak. No one from the Western capital giants is willing to invest here. Even if someone is willing, they will most likely be stopped by Western capital. Western capital, led by the United States, is now forcing the Turkish government to sign an unequal treaty. Your assets can only be sold to me and not to others. If you dare to sell it to others, not only will I not help you, I will also punish you!

This is simply a naked bandit theory. Erdogan knows this very well, so he is not angry. If he wants to break the situation, he must introduce non-Western capital.

Now among the non-Western capitals that have the strength to challenge MK Company, the only one Erdogan knows is Ye Fang. If Ye Fang can directly introduce Ye Fang's capital into Turkey, everything will be solved.

The question now is what assets in Turkey can be attractive to Ye Fang, otherwise Ye Fang would not invest a lot of money in Turkey's current quagmire.

Half a day later, Erdogan looked up at Sezer and asked slowly, "Your Excellency, if we can promote privatization reform, I am confident that international capital will be introduced immediately to solve the current crisis."

"Oh?! Privatization!" Sezer shook his head and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about privatization. Even the IMF agreed to propose an aid plan based on the premise of promoting privatization, which makes it clear that they want to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up high-quality countries like Turkey. Assets. In the past, they were sold at a price, but now they can only sell state-owned assets at low prices. The resistance to this push will be great."

"There is no time to consider any resistance now. The country is paralyzed. Who can say anything? What's more, this is an emergency. If we promote privatization reform in one or two industries and introduce international capital, we can challenge and compete with the IMF. . The capital that dares to take over at this time will definitely not be afraid of the Western forces behind MK. By then, we don’t need to worry about the exchange rate issue at all. Naturally, someone will worry about it. What do you think?" Erdogan looked thoughtful. said.

Setzer thought for a while and suddenly realized, "That's indeed the truth. Then I leave this matter to you. Which industries do you think are more suitable for the first batch of privatization? It is easier to attract big capital."

"My suggestion is to take advantage of the sale of ten bank assets to privatize the bank. This is a natural thing and there will be no resistance. The second is the oil and natural gas industry. Although Turkey is not a resource-rich country, we are located in an oil transportation and transportation country. Hub, the oil industry will definitely be able to sell at a good price, and the other is the electric power industry, which can follow the privatization of the British electric power industry. Of course, all privatization supervision must be carried out under the guidance of relevant national departments, so that we can have control If you control it, there will still be benefits,” Erdogan suggested.

Sezer thought seriously for a long time, then slammed the table and said loudly, "Okay! I will do as you say, you contact the capital, and I will immediately convene a meeting with relevant departments to discuss the privatization plan and strive to issue relevant policies as soon as possible."

"Time is tight now, we just need a framework, and we can improve it in the future," Erdogan reminded.

"Okay, I know." Cezer agreed.

Now it feels like Sezer has not felt at all that his thinking and behavior have been completely controlled by Erdogan. Erdogan got Sezer's sword and immediately left the presidential palace and came to the hotel outside Ankara. Gubao met Ye Fang.

"Privatization?!" Ye Fang was shocked when he heard Erdogan's words.

Privatization can only be heard in capitalist countries, but it is usually taken by some asset tycoons first. This is almost a guaranteed profit-making business, and it is an industry that can be run for a lifetime. For example, a country's electricity needs electricity as long as the country still exists. The companies that can monopolize a country's water and electricity industry are all companies with profound backgrounds.

Erdogan can think of privatizing Turkey's state-owned assets at this time. It must be said that Erdogan must have done a lot of homework in advance.

"Yes, privatization is..."

Erdogan was worried that Ye Fang did not understand what privatization was. He was about to explain what privatization meant, but was interrupted by Ye Fang with a wave of his hand, and asked directly, "Which industries does Sezer plan to privatize?"

As soon as Erdogan heard Ye Fang ask this question, he knew that he knew what privatization meant, so he directly replied, "Banks, oil and electricity. Bank privatization can be directly promoted through the acquisition of ten banks. The Turkish people The bank can directly monopolize the Turkish banking industry.”

Rhea on the side heard this and said excitedly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Nan Yi also echoed from the side, "It is indeed an opportunity, but it will also bear great risks. Once the news of privatization spreads, the Western capital represented by MK Company and the IMF will immediately become the smell of blood in the sea. Sharks, they won't go away without a bite. As the saying goes, when a whale falls, everything comes alive."

Erdogan sighed and said, "Turkey is still a whale now, just a lamb to be slaughtered. Even if it is a lamb to be slaughtered, it must find the highest bidder."

Ye Fang thought for a while and said directly, "I want the bank and oil. As for the power industry, I need to seriously consider this."

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will go back and implement the industry quotation and privatization model with Sezer immediately." When Erdogan finished saying this, he looked slightly hesitant, as if he had something to say. But I was embarrassed to say it.

"We are on the same boat now. If you have anything to say, you can just say it." Ye Fang said directly.

"Is it possible to privatize the oil industry..."

Ye Fang could see the meaning behind Erdogan's words at a glance, smiled and said directly, "Don't worry, I can reserve the share for your family in advance. But you must ensure that this industry is safe in Turkey in the future." and stable, I don’t want the change of regime to bring any unstable factors, which is also the prerequisite for my investment.”

As soon as he heard what Ye Fang said, Erdogan was really happy. He knew that Ye Fang had understood what he meant, and immediately promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely win the position of prime minister in the next three years. When the time comes, I will Fix the interests of the privatized industry in the form of national law. Guaranteeing your profits means that I guarantee the profits of our family. I know that we are now in the same boat."

Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction, and then Erdogan confirmed the details of the cooperation with Ye Fang and then left the castle.

Nan Yi looked at Erdogan's leaving figure and said, "This old fox is really greedy!"

"What you talk about with politicians is always interests and power. For people like Erdogan, it is easier to control if you have desire, and cooperation with desire is the most reliable!" Ye Fang said slowly.

After speaking, Ye Fang turned around and said to Nan Yi and Leiya, "It's very late. You should go to bed early."

Nan Yi knew that Ye Fang must have a phone call that needed to be made. As for who to call, she could guess at least [-]%, but that was only within the country. As for how far Ye Fang could reach out to foreign countries, who would he want to tie up? Nan Yi didn't know much about this chariot.

Because Ye Fang now has the ability to influence the situation of the world, even just a little bit.
