Chapter 941

In the dimly lit study, Simon looked at the woman with short hair, who was actually Yeltsin's second daughter, with a bit of absurdity in her expression: "Tanya, do you know, there is a Chinese idiom that fits your mentality at this time, to the effect that she is too sick and starts to look for a doctor."

Tajijana tyachenko, who followed her second husband's surname, didn't know what it was to go to the doctor in a hurry, but she could understand that the opposite man was not saying good things.

However, after the initial embarrassment, the woman calmed down, remembered her father's advice before her trip, straightened her waist again, looked at Simon in the eye, and said, "Mr. westrow, since you have just heard my suggestion, you can give such a response, instead of the ecstatic or hypocritical response of ordinary businessmen and politicians, which shows that we have reached a consensus There is a great possibility of cooperation. "

"I know what you want, Tanya, but if we work together, how can you be sure that I will keep my promise in the future?"

"My father has been watching you, Mr. westero," Tatyana said, still looking at Simon. "He said that now you have completely broken away from being a businessman and entered another level. The whole westero business system is now an economy that can compete with most countries in the world. However, the position of the westero system is not stable, so you will spare no effort to make a global layout these years, launch a war in Africa suddenly, intervene in the mid-term elections of the United States at great risk, buy a large area of land in Tasmania in Australia, and operate a base like Rovno in Ukraine. All these are in fact very important It's to strengthen the foundation of the Westeros system. "

"Does this have anything to do with the question I just asked?"

"Of course, all of these show that you know where you are at this time, because you have too many, and there are a lot of unknowable potential risks around the westero system, so you need deeper roots and more allies. My family is not in a good situation at the moment, but there are still a lot of chips available to Mr. westrow. In the future, if Mr. westero doesn't want to alienate other allies, he will certainly attach great importance to his promises. Moreover, the key is that you have enough strength to get rid of the influence of national position and fulfill your promises. "

Simon leaned on the sofa to listen to the opposite woman's words. He tilted his legs and made a more casual gesture. He asked, "in that case, Tanya, what kind of chips do you think you can give me?"

"Russia Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. is preparing for privatization. Mr. westero, we know that the main layout of westero system in Russia is telecommunications and steel. If you agree, my father can step in and sell 25% of the company's planned bidding shares to Friedman's alpha group," she added "It's just a greeting," he said

Because before coming, I had seen some general layout of the westero system in Russia, and Simon also knew about it.

Russia Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. is a large state-owned telecom holding company that was just completed by Yeltsin government last year. It has more than 20 Telecom subsidiaries, large and small. Its position is equivalent to at-t before the split of the United States in the 1980s. As a result, the privatization of the company is a piece of meat that Russia's oligarchs are eyeing.

At present, Russia's two most powerful oligarchs, Berezovsky and potanin, have secretly begun to fight for the privatization shares of the state-owned telecom giant.

Taking Russia's chaotic state at this time as an example, to get 25% of the shares, to put in the top management of the enterprise and other means is enough to realize the absolute control of the state-owned telecom giant. Then, to choose whether to continue to nibble or to quietly empty the company depends on different means.

According to the information Simon has read, the actual value of Russia Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. is about 20 billion to 30 billion US dollars.

No matter how good the relationship between the oligarchs and the Yeltsin authorities is, if they want to take 25% of the shares in this business, the offer will be around us $2 billion. No matter how little, they will treat many people as idiots, which will inevitably lead to a rebound.

The $2 billion deal is no small deal for Simon now.

And it's just a "greeting.".

In fact, from the opposite woman's words of seeking alliance, Simon began to weigh quickly in his mind.

As far as Yeltsin is concerned.

This kind of behavior is really like what Simon said. It's a bit of a rush to go to the doctor.

However, Simon also fully understood the mentality of the Yeltsin family at this time.

In the past history, Yeltsin changed six prime ministers frequently in just four years during his second term of office, which shows that the other side is almost restless and anxious.

Why?

Because Yeltsin is very clear about what he has done during his eight years in power, and how many people's grievances and political enemies he has accumulated. To choose a prime minister is actually to choose one's own successor. If the choice is wrong, the Yeltsin family will be ruthlessly liquidated after he leaves office.

This is a major political style of the land.

Even Stalin could not escape the fate of being liquidated after his death, let alone other people.However, it is not easy to choose the right person?

If Stalin had chosen the right person, he would not have been whipped to death. Therefore, it is inevitable to consider other ways out.

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

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

Simon has now completely got rid of the category of a businessman. The huge westero system is now a separate economy that is more powerful and terrifying than the plutocrats. Moreover, through these years of operation, the westero system also has a decisive influence in the political field of countries all over the world.

If such an independent and powerful force is really willing to take action, it will be able to give enough protection to the Yeltsin family in the worst case.

Yeltsin, of course, is not stupid enough to place all his hopes on Simon.

However, if some intentions are really reached, it will certainly be a major retreat for the Yeltsin family.

Simon has no interest in forming an alliance with the Yeltsin family, if not for certain things. The traditional values of being a man of two generations make him instinctively disgusted with the family, but Simon's position at this time, morality and so on, really doesn't matter.

It's better to cuddle grass and kill rabbits.

After a short silence, Simon finally spoke again, but shook his head and said, "Tanya, I'm not interested in the privatization of telco. I won't do such useless work for things that will bring me great trouble and may be lost at any time even if I just get them. "

Tatyana was a bit surprised, but also with a bit of enthusiasm: "Mr. westero, it's not like you should have a decision?"

"Do you think I should fight Berezovsky and botanin for the company's shares?"

"Mr. westero, you should know who Berezovsky and botanin are standing behind the scenes. In Europe and America, the strength of westero system is far away from those capital consortia."

"I'm not talking about capital consortia in Europe and the United States, I'm just talking about Russia. In my opinion, the greed of these oligarchs has completely made them lose their sense and awe. I don't like to entangle with people who have no bottom line at all. In fact, the problem lies with your father. As the most powerful man in this country, your father can't even suppress these oligarchs. It's not just a failure. "

Tajijana covered up her displeasure and flashed some weakness on her face: "Mr. westero, you should understand that in his position, my father has been very difficult these years. If it wasn't for this country, his health would not be so bad now."

Simon heard the woman's "for this country" and even didn't want to sneer. His fingers were beating silently on the armrest of the leather sofa. He suddenly signaled to the whiskey on the coffee table: "Tanya, pour me a glass."

The woman on the other side didn't get it. Simon would suddenly say that.

That kind of bossy tone made her more uncomfortable.

However, perhaps instinctively aware of the critical moment, Tatyana hesitated a little. She got up and poured a glass of whisky for the man in front of her. She also asked, "would you like some ice?"

"All right."

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

"Thank you."

Simon took the glass and said.

Tajijana is retreating to her sofa body for a little meal, some small resentment inexplicably dissipated some. He sat down again and looked at the man sipping the liquor. He had a handsome face, calm temperament and indifferent attitude. He felt some other emotions at the bottom of his heart.

Women's feelings towards men.

However, of course, I have never thought of any indication that 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 you know some of this man's preferences in women, you have no confidence that he will be interested in her.

Moreover, the other party's status is not comparable to those beautiful men who cling to her because of her status.

Simon pondered for a moment, looked at Tatyana opposite, ignored the other person's subconscious shaking and evasive eyes as he looked past, and said, "Tanya, since you know I will be here tonight, do you pay attention to other people in this villa?"

Tajijana looks puzzled.

Simon laughed and said, "it seems that there is no more."

"Of course not. The current mayor, sobchuck, I know that. Mr. westrow, frankly, my father didn't like this man very much

"Yes, I also know that the reason why sobchuck lost the election this time was Moscow's intervention."

"What are you trying to say, Mr. westlow?"

"The way out for your family."

"Well?"

Simon took another sip of the liquor and said slowly, "first, let's talk about my views on the political situation in Russia. Your father can win this election. However, it can only bring temporary stability to your family. In the long run, your father needs to prepare for four years after he takes office. The key is the position of prime minister. Because this person will run as your father's successor in four years' time, and will bring protection to your family after success. Am I rightTajijana do not know why there is no confrontation with the opposite man's mind, frankly nodded: "that's right."

"Then we'll talk about the position of prime minister," Simon continued, exchanging his cocked legs. "It's a key point. With the influence your father has at this time, I'm sorry to say that in the future, even if he gives his full support, it won't necessarily help the other party win the election, or even, it may be counterproductive. What's more, if this person is not as loyal to your father and your family as he thought, think about Stalin, then even if he comes to power, he will not necessarily protect your family, or even, on the contrary. "

There was a flash of fear in Tatyana's eyes.

Few people in this country don't know the fate of Stalin. Tatyana knew better that her father and her family were in a situation far worse than Stalin at that time.

Moreover, Stalin was only cleared after his death.

Yeltsin family, all alive.

Simon continued: "further, even if your father succeeds in helping this person to ascend, and he is loyal enough, if this person's ability is too mediocre, he may not be able to protect your family in the future."

With that, Simon didn't wait for the opposite woman to respond. He raised his free left hand and put up three fingers in turn: "look, one, two, three, Tanya, have you ever played a video game? In terms of game terminology, three levels in a row are almost nightmares. The probability of passing all levels is almost zero in my opinion. "

Tatyana looked at Simon's three fingers. This time, the weakness in her voice came from her heart: "Mr. westrow, according to you, my family is ready to go into exile now."

"Speaking of exile, those exiled politicians from Africa and Latin America are a piece of fat in the mouth of governments in Europe and the United States."

"Mr. westlow, are you raising your price through intimidation?"

"Tanya, I'm just analyzing the facts."

"And then?"

"That's it," Simon said, putting his glass on the side table and finally sitting up a little. "Tanya, don't you want to form an alliance? I'll give you a chance to see how much your family can bet. By the way, for at least the next 30 years, your family will still be able to stand at the top of the country's pyramid, and accordingly, the westero system will get the benefits it deserves. Wrong bet. I'm sorry. Of course, I won't lose anything. "

Tajijana's eyes widened slightly. After a short outage, she became bright instantly. Her tone was a little trill: "you..."

"You're right, you're wrong," Simon said, nodding and shaking his head. "You're right. Yes, I do have a crush on a candidate, and he's in this villa right now. The mistake is that he is not my puppet. In fact, if he really gets to that position in the future, he will not be anyone's puppet. Just like you, you just want to make an alliance with me, not to be attached to me. "

Tatyana doesn't speak, just stares at Simon, as if judging the truth.

"As I said, this may be the only way out for your family, because this man, he is capable and loyal enough, and I have a complete plan to make him succeed in the unfavorable situation brought by your father, and the whole westero system as the backing."

Simon leaned back on the sofa and said, "Tanya, that's all I've said. Believe it or not, it's your business. After tonight, I'll arrange for him to go to Moscow. As for the position, you can give it to your father and Well, we can observe for three years and make our own decisions. "

"Why three years?"

"Because you need to give him enough time to build up popularity, and then, your father needs to give up his seat ahead of time."

"It's impossible," she said subconsciously

Simon said with a smile, "you have three years to observe and decide for yourself. I don't want to interfere. As for the greeting you just said, I don't want it too hot. All in all, these are your own business. Now, you can leave first. "
