In the dim study room.

Simon looked at the short-haired woman opposite him whose actual identity was Yeltsin's second daughter, with a little absurd expression: "Tanya, do you know that there is an idiom in China that suits your mentality at this time. The general idea is that she is too sick and she starts to look for a doctor randomly."

Tatyana Tyachenko, who is currently following her second husband's surname, doesn't know what it means to seek medical treatment in a hurry, but she roughly understands that the man opposite is not saying anything good.

However, after the initial grasp and difficulty, the woman was calm at this time. Thinking of her father's cautious advice before this trip, she straightened her waist again, looked at Simon, and said, "Mr. Westeros, since you heard my suggestion just now, you can give such a reaction, rather than being as ecstatic or hypocritical as ordinary businessmen and politicians, this shows that we have a high possibility of cooperation."

"I know what you want, Tanya, but if we reach a cooperation, how can you be sure I will fulfill my promise in the future?"

"My father has been observing you, Mr. Westeros," Tatyana said, "He said that you have completely gotten rid of one businessman and entered another level. The entire Westeros business system is now an economy that can compete with most countries in the world. However, the Westeros system's status is not stable. Therefore, in recent years, you will spare no effort to make global layouts, suddenly launch a war in Africa, take great risks to interfere in the US midterm elections, buy a large piece of land in Tasmania in Australia, and operate a base in Ukraine like Rovno State. All of this is actually to consolidate the foundation of the Westeros system."

"Does this have anything to do with my problem just now?"

"Of course, these all show that you are very clear that your position is not unbreakable. Because you have too many, there are many potential risks surrounding the Westeros system. Therefore, you need a deeper foundation and more allies. My family is not in good condition at the moment, but there are still many bargaining chips to give Mr. Westeros. In the future, if Mr. Westeros does not want to let other allies be disinterested, he will definitely attach great importance to his promises. In fact, this is also my father's judgment."

Simon leaned against the sofa and raised his legs, his posture became more casual, and asked, "Since that's the case, Tanya, what kind of chips do you think you can take to form an alliance with me?"

"Russian Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. is preparing for privatization. Mr. Westeros, we know that the main layout of the Westeros system in Russia is in the two major areas of telecommunications and steel. If you agree, my father can personally intervene and sell the 25% stake in the company that is expected to be tendered to Friedman's Alpha Group," Tatyana finished speaking, and then added: "This is just a meeting gift."

Because before coming, Simon also knew about this.

Russian Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. is a large state-owned telecommunications holding company that the Yeltsin government just integrated last year. It has more than 20 state-owned telecommunications subsidiaries of all sizes, with a status equivalent to that of the United States before it was split in the 1980s. Therefore, the privatization of this company is a piece of fat that Russia's major oligarchs are closely watching.

At this stage, the two largest oligarchs in Russia, Berezovsky and Potanin, have actually begun to compete for the 25% privatized shares of the state-owned telecom giant.

With the chaotic state of this country at this time, getting 25% of the shares and arranging senior executives of the company is actually enough to achieve absolute control over the state-owned telecom giant. Then, whether to choose to continue meals or quietly empty the company, is all based on means.

According to the information Simon has seen, the actual value of the company is between $20 billion and $30 billion.

Even if the oligarchs have a good relationship with the Yeltsin authorities, if they want to take over the business, the 25% stake will be priced at around US$2 billion. If they are less, they will treat many people as fools, which will inevitably cause a rebound.

The $2 billion deal is definitely not small for Simon now.

And it's just a "meeting gift".

In fact, Simon's mind was weighing quickly when he spoke words from the woman opposite him.

As far as Yeltsin is concerned.

This is indeed as Simon said, and it is completely a bit of a slut in his mind to seek medical treatment.

However, Simon could fully understand the mentality of the Yeltsin family.

In history, Yeltsin frequently changed six prime ministers in just four years during his second term, which shows that the other party was almost restless and anxious.

how so?

Because Yeltsin knew very well what he had done in his eight years in power and how much public grievances and political enemies he had accumulated. Choosing the prime minister is actually choosing his own successor. Once the choice is wrong, the Yeltsin family will inevitably be cruelly liquidated after he stepped down.

This is a major political style of this land.

Even Stalin could not escape the fate of being liquidated after his death, let alone others.

How easy is it to choose the right person?

If Stalin had chosen the right person back then, he would not have ended up being whipped.

Therefore, other ways of finding out are inevitable.

For some reason, Simon became a target for the politician.

In fact, the other party's analysis is correct.

Simon has now completely escaped from the category of a businessman. The huge Westeros system is now a single economy that is stronger and more terrifying than a chaebol. Moreover, through years of operation, the Westeros system has also had a significant influence in the political fields of countries around the world.

If such a strange terrorist force is really willing to take action, it will indeed have the ability to give the Yeltsin family sufficient protection in the worst case in the future.

Of course, Yeltsin would not be so stupid that he placed all his hopes on Simon.

However, if certain intentions are really reached, this will definitely be a major retreat for the Yeltsin family.

If something had not been confirmed, Simon was actually not interested in forming an alliance with the Yeltsin family. His traditional values ​​of two lives made him instinctively disgusted with this family, but Simon's position, morality, etc. at this time really doesn't matter.

It's just better to bet a rabbit.

After a brief moment of silence, Simon finally spoke again, but shook his head and said, "Tanya, I am not interested in the privatization of Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. After all, I will not do such useless work for things that will cause me a lot of trouble and may lose at any time if I can get it."

Tatyana was a little surprised and a little excited: "Mr. Westeros, isn't this like you should have a decision?"

"Do you think I should confront the two oligarchs Berezovsky and Potanin for the sake of the shares of this company?"

"Mr. Westeros, you should know who is behind Berezovsky and Potanin. In Europe and the United States, the strength of the Westeros system is far beyond those capital consortiums."

"I'm not talking about European and American capital consortiums, but just Russian," Simon shook his head and said, "In fact, the problem lies with your father. As the most powerful person in this country, your father can't even suppress these oligarchs. It's not just a failure to describe it."

Tatyana concealed the displeasure in his heart, and some weakness flashed across his face: "Mr. Westeros, you should understand that in his position, my father has not been easy for all these years. If it weren't for this country, his health wouldn't be so bad now."

When Simon heard the woman's words "for this country", he was too lazy to mock her. Her fingers were silently pounding on the handrail of the leather sofa, and suddenly signaled to the whiskey on the coffee table: "Tanya, pour me a cup."

The woman opposite didn't get it and Simon would suddenly say this.

That tone of instructing made her even more uncomfortable.

However, probably because he was instinctively aware that things were at a critical moment, Tatiyana hesitated a little, and still stood up, poured a glass of whiskey for the man opposite him, and asked, "Do you want to add ice?"

"OK."

So he added two more pieces of ice and handed over.

"Thanks."

Simon took the wine glass and said.

Tatiyana was retreating back to her sofa and slapped slightly. Some of the small resentment inexplicably dissipated a little. She sat down again and looked at the man who was sucking a strong wine opposite, with a handsome face, calm temperament and calm mind. Some other emotions surged in her heart for some reason.

The emotions of women towards men.

However, of course, she didn't think about anything. She is 36 years old this year. Although she seems to be the same age as someone's wife, her appearance is much worse. Even if she knows some of the man's preferences in women, she has no confidence that the other party will be interested in her.

The status of this man is completely incomparable to those beautiful men who have the intention of clinging because of her Yeltsin's daughter.

Simon thought for a moment, looked at the woman opposite, ignoring the other party's subconscious shaking and dodging eyes as he looked over, and said, "Tania, since you know I will appear here tonight, then, do you have any attention to the rest of the villa?"

Tatiyana looked puzzled.

Simon smiled and said, "It seems that there is no more."

"Of course not, the current mayor Sobchak, of course my children know. Mr. Westeros, frankly, my father doesn't like this person very much."

"Yes, I also know that the reason why Sobchak lost the election this time was because Moscow intervened."

"Mr. Westeros, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Tell me the way out of your family."

"Um?"

Simon took another sip of the glass of strong wine and said, "Let me tell you what I think about the political situation in Russia first. Your father will win this election. However, this can only bring temporary stability to your family. If you want to be in the long run, your father needs to prepare for four years after taking office. The key is the position of prime minister. Because this person will run for the election as your father's successor in four years and bring blessing to your family after success. Am I right?"

"Why three years?"

"Because he needs to give him enough time to accumulate expectations, and then, your father needs to give way in advance."

Tatiyana subconsciously said, "Impossible."

Simon smiled: "I said that you have three years to do, and I won't interfere. As for the meeting gift you just mentioned, I don't want it either, because it's too hot. In short, these are your own business. Now, you leave first. This wine is good, and I suddenly want to taste it by myself."
