"What? You’re roman abramovich? !”

Chapter 12 Russian oligarchy
"What? You’re roman abramovich? !”
"Yes, I am." The self-proclaimed "assistant" of berezovsky nodded puzzled. "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"No, no, there’s nothing wrong. Nice to meet you, Mr. Abramovich." Zhuang Ge said as if the "assistant" comrade in front of him held out his right hand.
"I’m glad to meet you, too, Chairman Corleone." Abramovich was flattered by Zhuang Ge’s condescending behavior.
After all, Abramovich heard from berezovsky that although the former president of the Florence Club got a football club to show his career with the help of his family, since he had his own industry in 1993, Antonio Corleone, the head of the Corleone family, earned hundreds of millions of dollars in profits in less than two years, and his explosive experience of making a fortune made Abramovich fascinated.
Although Abramovich, who is not yet 30 years old at this time, feels a little puzzled about the "goodwill" expressed by this male brother to himself inexplicably, it is obvious that Jing Abu will not refuse such goodwill. "Chairman Corleone can always call me Roman in private, but it always sounds too evasive."
"Ha ha, good Roman, just call me Antonio privately." Zhuang Ge immediately climbed down the pole and affectionately set up with the "assistant" in front of him, but almost left Ivanov and Karin aside.
"That Roman, I want to ask you something." They chatted for a long time before Zhuang Ge pulled the topic back and said, "Why on earth does Mr. berezovsky want to see me?"
As soon as Abu heard that the show was coming, he folded his face and answered, "Antonio, do you know who organized this party?"
"Well, let me guess … is it Mr. berezovsky?"
"Ha ha, you guessed half right. Mr. Boris is indeed the organizer of this banquet." Seeing a waiter passing by Abu with a plate of drinks, he took a swig of vodka from his face and said, "Guess who the other one is?"
"Er …" Zhuang Ge’s brain quickly recalled what he knew about the seven oligarchs of the Russian state in the 1990s.
Russia’s seven oligarchs refer to the seven tycoons who became rich overnight in the process of privatization in the 1990s. They are berezovsky, president of United Bank, Gusinski, president of Bridge Bank, vinogradov, president of International Commercial Bank, smolenski, president of Capital Bank, Friedman, president of Alpha Bank, Khodorkovsky, president of Menateep Bank, and malkin, president of Russian Credit Commercial Bank.
These seven people are all elites with flexible minds and dare to take risks. Almost all of them have a college science history. They are 4-5 years old. They have won a national prize. They are also academicians of the Academy of Communications. Together with unity, the president of the company, Chubaiski, controlled Russia’s oil and gas, power, metallurgy and finance, and manipulated Russian public opinion to a certain extent. They not only had sex in the economic field, but also dug their brains to engage in political speculation. Former Russian Deputy Prime Minister yegor gaidar once said that "when they were at their best, they could change government personnel at will."
According to the news from chatting with Abu Qian, Zhuang Ge knows that most of the guests attending the banquet in the military club today have a big industry in Russia and are interested in participating in politics.
So who else but berezovsky is so keen on Russian politics? Zhuang Ge ruled out one by one in his mind.
Friedman? No, in the Yeltsin era, Friedman eventually had his own control representative in the Russian government, but Friedman never wanted to enter Russian politics; In Putin’s time, he was in charge of Alpha Group, the closest company to the Russian government, and he was obedient to the government. In the end, this brother was the only one of the seven oligarchs who got a good end. Friedman’s style was very low-key, and he hardly paid any attention to anything except making money. It could not be him.
Is it Khodorkovsky? It’s not right. At this time, he is still preoccupied with running his Menateep investment bank. In the near future, he will buy 7% shares of Yukos Oil Company for $3.5 billion, thus becoming the richest man in Russia and entering politics. The idea has not yet appeared.
Usmolinsky and vinogradov? Zhuang Ge said that these two guys made their fortune by making a fortune, lacking judgment on the situation, or they would not have gone bankrupt in the 9-year financial crisis, so these two also PASS.
Then Gusinski and malkin are left. Compared with Zhuang Ge, it is more likely that Gusinski is the organizer.
Zhuang Ge clearly remembers that after Yeltsin left the Russian government, Gusinski, a media tycoon, started a media war to try to interfere with Yeltsin’s political will and vilify Putin’s campaign to encircle illegal armed forces in Chechnya. He started an anti-war wave in Russia and was extremely interested in politics. He once said that if others came from ordinary backgrounds, they should first establish a powerful media empire to control Russian public opinion from the root and realize their political ambition of "an improper president can still control the government".
"Is it Gusinski?" After thinking, Zhuang Ge gave his own answer and was naturally praised by Abu.
"That’s a good guess," Abramovich said with a smile and applause. "Then let me tell you the purpose of the party."
So I learned from Abu Zhuang Ge that the dinner party was really not a simple "private" banquet!
The sponsor of that banquet are two of the most influential oligarchs in Russia-Gusinski and berezovsky invite many Russian celebrities from all walks of life to the banquet, and most of them have one thing in common, except some invited people from the news media, that is, everyone has the same or close to "political stance".
What surprised Zhuang Ge most was that the main purpose of the dinner hosted by the two oligarchs was to build momentum for the Russian presidential candidate-Yeltsin!
Chapter 121 berezovsky
After listening to Abu’s words, Zhuang Ge searched in his mind for memories of the 1996 Russian general election. In the end, Yeltsin won the general election, but the process of winning was extremely thrilling. The Russian presidential election in memory was also the fiercest competition.
Abu told him that Yeltsin supported Premier chernomyrdin’s party in the Russian Duma (that is, the Russian parliament) election at the beginning of the year, but other parties, such as the Russian Communist Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, won wide public support, which made Yeltsin, who was in Russia, unable to win the presidential election in 2008.
This situation is extremely urgent. Yeltsin is inextricably linked with the Russian oligarchy. At this time, considering their own interests, they are trying their best to connect with various profitable contacts and resources to win votes for Yeltsin.
"Roman Mr berezovsky to find me what is it? I’m not a Russian citizen, and there is no industry in Russia that can’t get votes. "Zhuang Ge asked Abu with a puzzled face.
"Ha ha, how can I know what Mr. Boris thinks?" Abu gently sipped vodka and said with a smile.
Zhuang Ge looked at his eyes and made a "I don’t know anything" expression. Abramovich had some regrets. I didn’t expect Abramovich to have such deep talent and wisdom now. I shouldn’t say it, but I should resolutely play the fool and say I don’t know. Anyway, others have no evidence to prove what he knows …
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the hall, and the guests were laughing at the banquet and turned their eyes to it.
Boris berezovsky, the sponsor of the banquet, appeared in front of a large group of bodyguards!
Boris berezovsky, born in 1946, is one of the seven Russian oligarchs in Yeltsin’s era. Compared with other financial oligarchs, berezovsky was the earliest. His family history is not as beneficial as others. The former Soviet Union reformed the country’s economic system at the end of the 1990 s and completed the accumulation of original capital by opportunistic, profiteering and encroaching on state-owned assets.
Berezovsky’s first bucket of gold came from the field of applied mathematics, and his initial identity was a well-known professor in the field of applied mathematics. He even took on the management of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and later turned to business during the turbulent period of the former Soviet Union. First, he accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in assets by reselling cars, and later he gradually became a car owner, a financial giant, a media tycoon, and a political consultant.
Berezovsky’s appearance attracted the attention of many guests in the hall, not only because he accumulated a huge fortune in just a few years, but also because berezovsky people are the core figures in the current Russian President Yeltsin’s campaign team-all people or groups who want to gain some benefits from a government will naturally pay attention to this tycoon with close contacts.
Seeing that berezovsky has arrived, his assistant Abramovich is not good to continue chatting with Zhuang Ge here. After saying "Sorry, I’ll go first", he tidied up his image and quickly walked over to berezovsky’s position.
Zhuang Ge saw Roman Abramovich whispering a few words in berezovsky’s ear and received the assistant’s report. berezovsky also slowly nodded at the meeting, and everyone watched and came up to Zhuang Ge’s position.
"Hello, President Antonio Corleone, I’m boris berezovsky. I’m glad that you can come all the way from Wan Li this time. On behalf of my people, I’d like to welcome you to Moscow!" At this time, berezovsky still retains these scholars who worked in the Soviet Academy of Sciences. They are somewhat bald. He looks less like a financial crocodile than a professor who has devoted himself to the scientific cause.
"It’s an honor to meet you here, Mr. berezovsky." Zhuang Ge stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party and said, "I don’t think anyone will know to refuse your invitation?"
"Ha ha, you are really good at talking, Chairman Corleone." berezovsky listened to Zhuang Ge’s jokes and said, "I thought I was not as rich as you when I was your age. It was a hero from ancient times."
"Haha, you are ridiculous."
Two people then polite a few words berezovsky left here.
However, before leaving from Zhuang Ge, berezovsky gave Abu a subtle expression of eyes, and Abramovich immediately understood.
While berezovsky was giving a passionate speech in the hall, Abu quietly appeared beside Zhuang Ge and said "Antonio".
While listening to the speech, Zhuang Ge suddenly heard a sound coming from his side, and he almost spilled his drink on the floor. It was easy to calm down his mood. He said to the elusive Abu, "I said that Roman has something to say, so just sayno. How can you deliberately scare me?"
"…" Abramovich said decisively with Zhuang Ge’s dissatisfaction. "Mr. berezovsky wants to invite you to a small party in the next small hall after the speech."
"Oh?" Zhuang Ge knows that inviting himself to another party is obviously what the financial tycoon wants to make a deal with himself. If he can take this opportunity to make friends with that gentleman, it will be the best opportunity for himself to establish himself in Russia. Of course, he can’t easily let go. "Please tell Mr. berezovsky that it is my honor to attend his private party."
"Well, please come with me after Mr. Boris’s speech, and this miss Karin. I have a pass here." Abu blinked and said, "Otherwise, the security guard will stop us before we get close to that door."
"Uh-huh." What is this? Do you need to be so mysterious? Zhuang Ge was puzzled, but soon relieved. Don’t say that in Russia, where public security is quite poor, there are always various security measures around these important people in western countries.
