Rebirth 1991: My Financial Era

Chapter 77 On the eve of Uzbekistan’s privatization

"Chinese friends, my name is Alexander, nice to meet you." Alexander finished throwing people away, dusted himself off, and walked over.

"Hello, I feel you look familiar." Duan Shiyong stood in front of Sun Chen with a wary look on his face and stretched his hands into his arms.

"Shadow, my friend, we have fought before." Alexander spread his hands to show that he meant no harm.

"Are you from the KGB action team?" Duan Shiyong asked.

"Yes, my friend, all I want now is bread," Alexander explained.

"Even if chaos continues, your powerful departments will still have food to eat. Your words are not credible, my friend." Duan Shiyong is not that easy to fool.

"I am from Uzbekistan. I was purged by the Maoist action team. I have no establishment in Uzbekistan. I must be separated!" Alexander continued.

"How many people are there like you?" Sun Chen asked.

"A lot, sir." Alexander could also tell that Sun Chen was the leader.

"Have you been following us?" Sun Chen stared at him. If that was the case, his security was too poor.

"No, it was just a coincidence. I was waiting for an opportunity in this restaurant and when I heard Chinese speaking, I recognized this friend." Alexander explained.

Many intelligence officers from different countries know each other, and they are not all on a life-or-death relationship. Sometimes, they stalk each other to catch big fish. World intelligence personnel have a self-woven network channel that can be shared during emergency escape.

"So, we are old friends. Let's sit down and have a drink."

Sun Chen ordered him a set meal and a glass of vodka.

"So, what can you help me with?" Sun Chen asked.

Alexander finished the set meal in two or three bites and looked at Sun Chen.

Sun Chen motioned for another serving.

"Sir, you need us. We know the truly valuable targets. Moreover, we are willing to become mercenaries and leave this quagmire country."

Alexander seemed to be more energetic after finishing his meal.

"I know that there has been a corporate auction in recent days, and several companies have been auctioned. There is a lot of similar news." Alexander said, obviously acting as an information broker.

"Okay, thank you. If you need anything, come to us at the Guest House of the Ministry of Industry."

Sun Chen asked Duan Shiyong to give him his contact information.

On the way back to the guest house, Duan Shiyong looked a little unhappy because he was recognized by his former enemy.

Sun Chen patted his shoulders and said, "Brother Duan, drive well and walk by the river often. How can you not get your shoes wet? This situation is normal. You know a lot of people who are being stared at, right?"

"Thank you, boss." Duan Shiyong felt a little calmer.

Everyone came to Sun Chen's business suite.

"Classmate Wang, it was difficult to talk in the restaurant just now. Please introduce the industrial layout of Uzbekistan."

"Okay, Mr. Sun." Wang Xinshuo saw Sun Chen's status in this group of people.

"Uzbekistan's industry is an important military industrial power in the northern giant plate, and it is very rich in resources. The west is a grain-producing area, known as the granary of Europe, and the east is an industrial area." Wang Xinshuo said.

Sun Chen motioned for him to continue.

"Ukraine's industries are all heavy industries and have complete industrial capabilities, including equipment, materials, military industry and nuclear industry..." Wang Xinshuo continued.

"Has the privatization of Uzbekistan begun?" Sun Chen suddenly interjected and asked.

"Well, actually it hasn't officially started yet. Economists are already calling for it, and politicians are discussing it intensively. I've read about it on TV and newspapers." Wang Xinshuo replied.

"Very good, that is to say, the ones who manage the huge state-owned assets now are the bureaucrats of Uzbekistan?"

"You can say that." Wang Xinshuo replied.

Sun Chen's eyes flashed brightly, and he had an idea in his mind.

It's time to catch up with old friends.

"Brother Duan, we have to meet our old friends." Sun Chen said.

"Okay, I'll invite you."

Duan Shiyong arranged for Wang Xinshuo to be sent back to school and asked him to come here every morning, and also gave him living expenses.

That night, at a high-end club, Sun Chen met his old friend Ivanov.

Ivanov became even more obese. When he saw Sun Chen, he stood up and hugged him.

"My friends, welcome to Kiev and our feast."

"Dear Minister, thank you for your enthusiasm, I will buy you a drink."

Sun Chen took his seat and prepared to have a drink with Ivanov.

"My friend, let me introduce to you, this is my partner, Deputy Minister of Industry, Shevchenko."

"Dear Minister, nice to meet you!" Sun Chen stood up and shook hands with Shevchenko.

"This is Krosky, deputy governor of the Central Bank." Ivanov continued to introduce that this person is a deputy to the real power department of Uzbekistan.

"Dear President, nice to meet you."

"This friend from Hong Kong is a famous local financier and businessman." Ivanov did not forget to introduce Sun Chen to his partners.

Sun Chen picked up the wine glass and toasted to the three high-ranking officials of the Uzbek Kingdom. He took one sip with great pride.

After three rounds of drinking, the emotions and thinking of the three politicians were completely opened.

"Friends, the wave of privatization has begun. What are we waiting for?" Ivanov said.

"What do you need me to do?" Sun Chen looked righteous.

"I remember Mr. Sun mentioned to my partner that your private bank can provide us with financing services, am I remembering correctly?" Ivanov asked, staring at Sun Chen.

"You mean Minister Sergey?" Sun Chen smiled slightly, leaned back on the sofa, took out a cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed it without lighting it.

"Yes, I can provide financing to all the ministers, and..." Sun Chen sat up straight and whispered, "Moreover, the term is long and the interest rate is low, so I will not embarrass my friends."

The three people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they picked up their glasses and drank.

"How to do it?" Ivanov chased after him.

"It's very simple. I hope Mr. Klosky will approve a banking license for my company. I will ask my colleagues to provide any information required."

Sun Chen raised a finger and said to Kloski.

"Then what?" Ivanov's greedy eyes shone.

"Then, my bank will absorb savings, borrow money from the central bank, and provide loan support to you." Sun Chen raised his second finger.

"Okay, for our friendship." The three of Ivanov toasted in celebration.

The three of them were all deputy ministers and were not favored by European and American capital, so they put their hope in Sun Chen. Maybe Sun Chen was just a spare tire.

"So, my friends, my company also has some small requirements. I wonder if I can talk about it here?"

What Sun Chen means is that I can't lend you money in vain. Only exchange can make people feel at ease.

"Please speak, my friend." The three of them looked understanding.

"My company is engaged in ocean shipping business and lacks ships. I wonder if Mr. Ivanov can help introduce the business?" Sun Chen made the first request.

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Ivanov took over everything. He is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport, and this matter is under his control.

Now that Uzbekistan's economy is in deep recession, its industry has basically stopped production, and a large number of fleets of ocean shipping companies are parked at the port.

"Thank you, my friend. I will come to your house to discuss it in detail tonight."

Sun Chen said a code word that everyone understood.

"Your Excellency Shevchenko, my company needs to build a steel plant. Do you have any suggestions?"

Sun Chen made a second request.

"Friend, please come to my house tomorrow night." Shevchenko also knows this well.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Sun Chen said with a smile.

"Then it will be my turn to be the host the day after tomorrow, right?" Kloski was unwilling to be left behind.

"My pleasure, Your Excellency, President." Sun Chen smiled even happier.
