Simon's private Boeing 767 landed at Pushkin International Airport in the northwest suburb of Moscow at around 10 a.m.

In addition to Celia Miller, who came here to arrange Simon's schedule in advance, there were Yeltsin's second daughter Tatyana Tyachchenko and Varentin Yumashev, the current presidential director of the Palace.

These are the details of communication between the two parties in advance.

Simon came to Russia this time mainly to help Russia overcome the current economic difficulties and endorse it. However, Simon did not intend to make a big fuss, and would only announce some news with considerable restrictions.

In contrast, Moscow certainly hopes that the more popular Simon's visit, the better. Celia, who arrived in advance, had to warn her about this. If Russia makes a proposition and promotes the news of Simon's visit, the Westeros system will not rule out the possibility of publicly announcing the cancellation of some cooperation between the two sides.

Finally, there is the current result.

The two people who came to pick them up were definitely Yeltsin's confidants.

Needless to say, Yeltsin's second daughter, Varentin Yumashev, the current presidential general director, is not only his current official position, but also the author of Yeltsin's personal biography and the standard pen. Not only that, Simon also knew that Yumashev later became Yeltsin's son-in-law and walked with Yeltsin's second daughter after his second marriage.

Simon walked down the gangway on the airport runway and greeted Tatiyana, who had met before. Then he heard the other party personally help introduce Yumashev, and he was unknowingly close to him. He probably understood that the current relationship between the two was already unusual.

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Simon.

Although he did not intend to show off, after leaving the airport, Simon's convoy was still escorted by police cars, and he came all the way to Silver Songlin Park, about 10 kilometers west of Moscow City, next to Silver Songlin Park, about 10 kilometers west of the city center.

This is an artificial island surrounded by the Moscow River that spans Moscow. Simon set out 50 hectares of land on the west side of Silver Songlin Island a few years in advance. Like the castle manor outside St. Petersburg, he built his own property in Moscow.

The convoy passed through the manor corridor covered with green trees and came to the main villa.

This is a three-story, blue-top and white-walled building with an area of ​​5,000 square meters. It is called a villa, but it is far from the country style with a large roof in North America. It tends to be a French classical castle.

Everyone got off in the square in front of the main villa. Even Tatyana Tiachenko was envious when they looked at the mansion that looked like a castle in front of them.

Although Yeltsin's family lives in the Kremlin at present, the Kremlin is not private. Once Yeltsin steps, it is obvious that the whole family will have to move away. Although Tatyana's husband Alexei Tyachenko has used Yeltsin's relationship to start an energy business in recent years, Tyachenko's talent in doing business can only be said to be mediocre. Over the years, the assets under the couple's name have been less than 500 million US dollars.

Compared to ordinary people, such an asset is of course huge.

However, people can always be annoyed.

Not to mention the Tyachenko and his wife, the current Yeltsin family's open and private assets combined have nothing worth mentioning in front of Simon Westeros. As for building various luxurious manors in any corner of the world they like, it's even more unthinkable.

The gap makes people desperate.

At a certain moment, Tatiyana could not help but fantasize about how great it would be if this world could retreat to the Tsar era two hundred years ago. Her father was the Tsar of the Russian Empire and the second princess. The entire country belonged to the Yeltsin family.

Leaving these unrealistic ideas and being surrounded by people to enter the villa with Simon Westeros, Tatyana once again sighed that the young man around him, with his huge personal assets and the hidden power contained in this era, was probably more powerful than any king in the royal era.

This is a capital society.

Everyone walked through the hall of the main villa and came to a reception room next door to sit down. After the waitress delivered the coffee, they left. Only Simon, Celia, Tatyana and Yumashev were left in the reception room. Tatyana spoke up and said: "Simon, my father has prepared a lunch party in Kerber Palace to welcome you. Ms. Miller has told you what he meant. However, even if there are no reporters present during the reception, I was wondering, after the reception, can we hold a small press conference? Don't worry, there will be no questions. Just need my father to give you a simple communication speech with you?"

Simon leaned on the sofa holding a cup of coffee, shook his head directly after hearing this: "Tania, I think Cely has communicated with you very well. I am not a person who likes to make temporary changes."

Simon came here this time, publicly, only left some photos after the midday party of Kegong, as well as press releases that have been strictly reviewed by the Wei family team. There will be no public news for the rest. After all, we still have to worry about the attitude of the Federation. Simon does not want to be labeled as a Simon Westeros or the like in the Russian Gate in the future.

Simon was able to come to Moscow in person, in addition to the established photos and press releases, he would also confirm some cooperation projects that would also be published, which was already very favorable to Yeltsin's authorities. Tatiyana tried again, but Simon had no intention of letting go, so he could only give up the idea of ​​letting Simon speak out for Russia more and say goodbye first.

After seeing off Tatyana and the others, Simon and Celia discussed some details of the cooperation project that will be signed in the afternoon, and ate some food before getting up to change their clothes.

The luncheon reception in Kegong begins at 12 o'clock.

The manor on Silver Songlin Island is not far from the city center. Simon arrived on time, and it was already very lively here.

Not only are the giants from all walks of life in Russia, but also the US ambassador to Russia and some American business representatives from Russia. It took more than twenty minutes to exchange just necessary greetings.

As expected, someone Simon had been paying attention to was also present today. When it was the turn to say hello to Simon in the order of seniority, the two sides just shook hands and greeted each other. The other party also took the initiative to introduce themselves, as if there was no relationship in advance. However, Simon, who was also very sensitive to people, still felt a clear inquiry from the other party's eyes at a certain moment.

In just two years, from a former KGB who almost lost his job to become a taxi driver, well, this is a bit exaggerated. To be precise, the former deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, he rose to the current position of the Director of the Russian Federation Security Agency, with real power in his hands, but someone often remembered the chance encounter in St. Petersburg two years ago.

A pretty brief communication.

Simon Westero invited him to work for himself, and then said he would come to Moscow.

Then, he rose to the top.

Recalling Yeltsin's attitude when he contacted Mr. President many times, it was obviously impossible to be a coincidence.

The most important thing is that, if you take another step forward, or to be precise, you will reach the highest position in this country.

Someone feels this possibility is getting bigger and bigger.

However, what happened next?

A more critical point, he didn't know what Simon Westero wanted to get for all this? Can he afford it at that time?

Simon could probably guess someone's mentality, but he could not communicate with the other party with a bunch of people around him.

The party lasted for two hours.

As the end approached, the photographer arranged in advance appeared and took a few posing photos of Simon having a great chat with Yeltsin with the cocktail party as the background, and then the cocktail party ended.

Hundreds of guests dispersed, but Simon did not leave, but came to an office in the Kerge Palace with Yeltsin.

Both sides sat opposite each other on the sofa in the reception area. After Yeltsin's second daughter personally delivered a pot of coffee, they left. Yeltsin, who was leaning against the sofa, had no longer had the red face at the previous cocktail party, and looked quite tired and even weak.

Of course Simon knew that Yeltsin had never been completely cured after his heart surgery two years ago.

Neither side spoke for a while, Simon sipped gently with a cup of coffee. After a while, Yeltsin's voice finally sounded the opposite side: "Simon, I have to go the path you gave me now, right?"

Simon did not expect that Yeltsin, who had always been strong, would suddenly say this, hold the coffee cup in his hand, and lean against the sofa, saying, "Boris, how to choose, the initiative is actually in your hands."

Speaking of which, it was the first time that the two sides met today, but because they had been in harmony for a long time, they became quite familiar with each other after a drink party just now.

Of course, fundamentally, this familiarity is based on strength.

If Simon was just an ordinary businessman, even those oligarchs in Russia who could call for the wind and rain would definitely not see Yeltsin's weak side at this time, and it would be even more unlikely to have such an almost heart-to-heart atmosphere.

Yeltsin still shook his head when he heard Simon's answer, with a little depressed: "I don't have much initiative anymore. Simon, to be honest, I just hope to keep my family from being liquidated in two years."

"It's not really difficult," Simon said. "At that time, you, your family, can go to the UK or Australia, which is my territory."

Yeltsin shook his head again: "Tania and the others can leave, but I can't."

Simon paused and understood.

Simply put, two words, you must be shameless.

After all, he is a former head of state of the United Nations at the level of the Five Constant State of the United Nations. If he leaves office to avoid being liquidated, it will not be a simple economic problem or something, and it will be a treason. It is undeniable that Yeltsin has a strong desire for power and has selfish intentions for his family. However, he is still a shameful person, knowing that if he flees, not only himself, but the entire country will be disgraced.

Simon couldn't comment on this either.

Most of the time, people are conflicted.

Perhaps Yeltsin's attempts to promote the collapse of the Soviet Union and even Russia's reforms over the years made Simon feel that he had made many tricks, and he could only be described as stupid. However, it is not true that Yeltsin was not a patriot and did not want his country to be strong and deliberately messed up his country.

Unfortunately, too often, the gap between ability and ambition is always relatively large.

I can only say that Yeltsin is a top politician, but it is limited to this.

After a moment of silence, Yeltsin finally spoke again: "Simon, do you think Vladimir is really competent?"

"It's been two years, Boris, I believe you know this better than me."

"No, Simon, after the incident with Kiriyanko, I'm very uncertain now. You should have learned that Kiriyanko is also a very outstanding young man."

"I can only say that you used the wrong person at the wrong time, and the direction was not right." Simon said: "Kirionko is indeed capable. The problem is that you forced him up, and he has no other foundation except your support, and even aroused collective opposition from the Russian parliament. This is destined to do something good, let alone a big problem like a national economic crisis."

Yeltsin pondered for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean, Simon, then, I will seek the support of those people. However, I can't guarantee that they will agree. Perhaps, at that time, you will need to intervene."

Neither of them pointed it out, but they all knew it well.

The "those people" in Yeltsin's words refer to the major oligarchs that are currently basically monopolizing Russia's domestic economy. These people not only control the Russian media, but also have strong power in the Russian parliament. One of the key reasons why Yeltsin pushed Kiriyanko at the beginning of the year was that he was faced with strong resistance from the Duma, which was that he did not communicate well with the major oligarchs in advance.

The reason why Chernomerkin has not been successfully reset recently is actually similar.

In history, the key to the success of someone’s success in power was to obtain permission from major oligarchs and then provide all-round support in politics, economy, military and public opinion.

Simon nodded in agreement with Yeltsin's request.

With the Westeros system's commercial layout in Russia in recent years, in addition to the direct Mikhail Friedman, he also has various cooperations with other oligarchical groups. In addition, the current demand for the Westeros system by Russia's overall economic environment, when Simon speaks, everyone will be very proud of their face.

Seeing Simon nodding in agreement, Yeltsin felt relieved and continued, "The last question, Simon, and what? I mean, after Vladimir became prime minister, I remember you said that he needed to accumulate prestige for a year. However, if the methods of the 1996 election continued to be adopted this time, I think it would be very likely to be invalid?"

"It's very simple," Simon said this time, "The best way to transfer contradictions is war. Similarly, the best way for a person to accumulate prestige is also war, and win a war."

When Yeltsin heard this answer, he instantly reacted: "Chechnya?"

"Chechnya!"

Yeltsin hesitated: "Simon, this is not easy."

Yeltsin obviously did not forget the crushing defeat in Chechnya a few years ago, and even had to sign a ceasefire agreement that almost defaulted on Chechnya's solemnity.
Chapter completed!
