Chapter 992

Moscow, in the magnificent banquet hall of the Kremlin.

Russian President Yeltsin is personally hosting an investment visiting team from the United States. This visit was an invitation from the Kremlin. The main purpose is naturally to attract foreign investment in order to cooperate with Yeltsin's economic reform plan being brewed.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and five consecutive years of sharp collapse, the Russian economy finally showed signs of easing this year. Even though the GDP data in 1996 is expected to still fall slightly, it has not collapsed as it did in previous years.

This is a good sign.

The just-passed presidential election made Yeltsin fully recognize the harsh political environment in which he and his family were. Therefore, whether he was proactive or forced, Yeltsin hoped to make as much as possible during his second term, so as to minimize the possibility of his family's liquidation in the future.

Restoring the Russian economy is undoubtedly the most urgent thing.

"Yes, Boris, I am very optimistic about the future trend of Russia's economy. As for the past few years, it's a pity, but I have to say that this has nothing to do with you, it's just an inevitable pain of national system reform. It is about to reach the bottom, and next, Russia's economy will definitely go all the way."

In the banquet hall, George Soros, who came secretly and personally, talked with Yeltsin.

Yeltsin held a glass of whiskey. Even though the doctor repeatedly reminded him, he couldn't help drinking some wine. His face turned red, but he was not drunk: "Oh, I'm so happy to hear your comments, George. But you know, what Russia needs most now is financial help. We are planning to issue a $1 billion national debt to the international market. I wonder if the quantum fund is interested?"

George Soros nodded generously and said, "I have heard the news. Boris, this is the first issuance of government bonds since Russia left the Soviet era. It is of great significance to Russia's move towards a market economy. I have studied relevant information. Russia is very sincere in both interest rates and repayment models. So, I can agree now that the quantum fund can purchase a share of US$100 million."

In the past few years after the disintegration, Russia, which directly opened the door to the world, introduced tens of billions of dollars of overseas investment, including loans and aid from the World Bank or Western countries in the most difficult period, but this is the first time to issue government bonds to the international market.

According to this standard, it does have extraordinary significance.

Because this symbolizes that Russia further opens the economic door to the international market.

The $1 billion is actually far from enough to meet the financial needs of the Russian government, which is tight, and it is mainly a test.

As the main funder behind the Russian oligarch Vladimir Potanin, and indeed expressed optimism about Russia's economic trend in the next few years, George Soros chose to subscribe very decisively. After winning consecutive victories in the sniping pound and the Mexican peso, the scale of quantum funds has expanded rapidly. Therefore, the current fund nature is not limited to the hedging field, but is gradually moving towards a comprehensive investment fund.

The two chatted a few more about the details, and Soros suddenly asked another thing: "Boris, I heard that Simon might come too, but he didn't seem to show up."

Yeltsin's eyes flashed slightly, and soon turned relaxed, shrugging: "Perhaps Simon prefers to stay with a group of young girls than we old men."

"Oh, this is a shame."

"So, George, be a little nicer tonight, I'll go say hello to the others."

"So, Boris, please do whatever you want."

Watching Yeltsin walk away, Soros suddenly became a little distracted.

With the information and connections he has, of course, it is also clear that Simon is in Ukraine at this time.

There are a group of private soldiers from the Westeros family there, and the other party attaches so much importance to it, so Soros is not surprised. In fact, if he reaches the position of that young man, he will not be able to establish a private legion to ensure his sense of security. After all, the wealth of more than 1 trillion US dollars is really shocking.

However, what Soros doesn't understand is that Simon lacks interest in Russia.

Just now, Soros and Mikhail Friedman, the spokesperson of Westeros in Russia, invited the other party to participate in the privatization project of Russian Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. with Vladimir Potanin. After all, this privatization amounted to US$2 billion, and the Quantum Fund could not afford it. In addition, the Viper Communications Company, a subsidiary of the Alpha Group under Friedman, has also developed very well in Eastern European countries such as Russia and Ukraine in recent years. In addition, the Westeros system, the big backer, is undoubtedly the best partner.

Unexpectedly, Friedman refused without even thinking.

This situation is obviously the result of a young man's instruction.

In addition, Cersei Capital also sent someone to the investment inspection team from the United States. However, compared to the head of the quantum fund, Cersei Capital only sent one vice president of its Apollo Management company. Who knows how many vice presidents there are under the Wall Street financial giant? This specification is really too low.

Soros is a man with very simple will.

However, facing the young man who has created too many miracles, this financial giant is also having difficulty maintaining absolute confidence. Thinking about a meeting some time ago, the two had obvious differences on Russia's problems. The other side believes that Russia will become the strategic rival of the United States again, while he believes that this country can be completely controlled through economic infiltration.

Could it be that my judgment this time was wrong?

Thinking of this, Soros looked at Yeltsin who had walked away again. The other party did not walk towards the other guests, but was explaining something to a staff member of the Kgong Palace who was not tall and sparsely haired. When Soros looked over, the two happened to end the conversation. The obviously serious middle-aged man happened to notice that he looked over and smiled politely at him, not seeing anything special, and then turned around and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.

Yeltsin turned his back to Soros, but did not notice this detail. He instructed the deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau, who had been using more and more convenient recently, to watch the other party run to do business in a hurry, and suddenly had an idea that perhaps, next month, after the second term inauguration ceremony on August 3, he could adjust his position for the other party.

Yeltsin did speak out with a certain temptation to Simon Westeros yesterday.

However, it is not so pure. Even Yeltsin himself cannot describe his specific feelings. He does not know what kind of results he is expecting. What if the other party goes to the appointment today, what if he doesn't, or what should he talk about if he meets?

Yeltsin himself knew that he was a person who was deeply thoughtful and suspicious and could never have too much trust in someone.

Ultimately, something is too involved.

Even if he is greedy for power deep down, Yeltsin does not want to be labeled as a "traitor" in a certain future.

Over the years, Yeltsin has been repeatedly stressing that all his actions are for this country.

Besides, the middle-aged man who just left, through observations during this period and repeated reviews of his past files, what Yeltsin can be sure of is that the subordinate recommended by Simon Westeros is indeed very capable. Since this is the case, he should put the other party in a position that can better exert his abilities as soon as possible.

After all, the current Kremlin has very few people who are truly capable and loyal to him, and there are so many ambitious people like Berezovsky who can't wait to fulfill their re-election rewards.

Rovno Oblast, Ukraine.

In the afternoon, I handled some things on the shooting range of the military theme park, and had dinner with Leon Kuchima's son-in-law and confidant Victor Pinchuk who came from Kiev in the evening. Of course, Simon could not have the mentality of Yeltsin and Soros at the Kremlin banquet.

As for Yeltsin's decision quietly made at the banquet, it just happened to be Simon's judgment yesterday.

In any case, if Simon appears at Kerber tonight, Yeltsin, who is too suspicious, will inevitably continue to hesitate for a while, instead of deciding to adjust someone's position after the inauguration ceremony early next month.

There was nothing special about Victor Pinchuk coming this time, it was purely communicating with feelings.

Compared with other Ukrainian oligarchs who had ended in a mess in history, Kuchima successfully immigrated to the UK after resigning from office, Victor Pinchuk was undoubtedly the one with the better ending, and Simon also prefers to cooperate with successful people.

Dinner guests and hosts have fun.

The social event ended at around 8 o'clock, and Simon left the city and returned to the hot spring manor. It was about 9:30 pm.

Simon returned late two days ago, and today they were in advance. The girls who did not expect this were enjoying their free time. When Eve heard the notification, Simon did not enter the villa directly and planned to take a casual walk in the manor.

The construction style of the hot spring manor is not like that of the Western lawn manor, but is more like oriental gardens, with all kinds of flowers, trees, corridors, flowing water, and wooden bridges. Although there is no rockery, the terrain is not flat. Several buildings such as the main and auxiliary villas appear to be arranged in a staggered manner in the spacious manor.

He chatted with Eve who was following him casually and came to a villa with lights on the east side. Simon knew that this was not the annex where the waiters lived. He looked at Eve and the girl immediately said, "This is the classroom."

Simon continued to walk over and smiled, "There are still people in class now?"

"It's Anna," Eve obviously knew it, and after saying that, he realized that Simon didn't know which Anna it was, and added: "Anna Berkosca."

As he said that, he had turned the stone corridor and came to the villa.

Simon entered the door, walked through the living room and turned to the corridor on the left, and soon arrived at the door of a room decorated as a classroom. Under the bright light, there were only two people sitting side by side in the room. One was young and slender, and the other was wearing a black Wei family maid's professional suit, with blonde hair tied up. Although he was part of the desk, he still couldn't hide the mature and wonderful look of the woman's back.

When Eve saw that her boss was standing at the door and did not go in, she stopped quietly.

However, he noticed the man's eyes, and his expression suddenly showed some little helplessness with a little resentment.

Even... I feel a little regretful.

I had known that the woman sitting next to Anna should have sent away, Eve was not stupid, and this woman stayed here at night. Although... I used to make up for Anna like this, I still didn't understand how she was. This woman who always acted more enthusiastically on weekdays than other teachers and took the initiative to make friends with her privately, obviously she had already had some thoughts.

Simon looked at it quietly for a moment, not knowing whether it was the woman's special intuition or something else. The woman next to Anna Berkosca noticed the strange thing first, turned her head and looked over, and the bright color that was well-covered in her eyes flashed by, and soon took pictures of the girl Anna and stood up together.

Then it looks a little cramped.

But Anna Berkosca took the initiative to greet: "Good evening, Simon."

Simon nodded, walked into the room, came to the table and chair where Anna and the others were just sitting, looked at the books on the table, and smiled and said, "Mathematics?"

Anna nodded: "Yes."

Simon picked up the Ukrainian mathematics textbook, glanced at it a few times, then looked up and smiled, "Speaking of it, I discussed a problem with Marta yesterday, Anna, do you know why you want to learn mathematics?"

Anna paused, hesitated a little, and quickly said, "Simon, I think I can study abroad in the future, go, well... America."

"It's great," Simon nodded and asked again, "So, what about after graduating from studying abroad?"

Anna obviously considered this issue, too: "Find a job."

The girl said, obviously feeling guilty. She glanced at the man and relaxed when she saw that he had no intention of being angry. After all, they were now a group of canaries he raised. She planned her future without authorization. Speaking of which, it might be contrary to his ideas and even made him think that she wanted to escape from him.

Speaking of driving, Anna is only 14 years old this year and doesn’t have that many thoughts at all.

However, compared to other girls, Anna's background was not very good. She used to be an ordinary working family in a southern state of Ukraine. In addition, the late Soviet era and the economy in the Ukrainian region also fell into recession. Anna's parents lost their jobs very early, and it was very difficult for these years.

Therefore, although Anna is relatively young among a group of girls, Anna is the one who is precocious in Sendai. The relatively precocious girl has more thoughts at the end of the year.
