Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Dong actually already had an idea about what terms he wanted.  Now, he doesn't expect to make any money in the next two years.  Even if Yeltsin comes to power in 2018, he may not be able to compete with those local forces in the Soviet Union.

    ¡°What he needs now is just a promise, a promise from Yeltsin to allow him to enjoy the same treatment as the Soviets in the future.  To put it simply, as long as Liu Dong dares to pay, no political obstacles can be set up for Liu Dong.  As long as Yeltsin agrees to this, Liu Dong will get his money back.  As for asking Yeltsin to promise immediately that when he takes office, any piece of fat will be included in his bowl, such a good thing, then forget it, it is simply impossible.

    As long as Yeltsin can make a commitment and wait until the Soviet Union disintegrates and takes advantage of the chaos, Liu Dong can use capital to invade the Soviet Union's resources and use some necessary means. Liu Dong doesn't believe that he can't make some money.  Meat.  As long as there are no political problems or economic problems, it will not be a problem for the future Russian market.

    With such an idea, Liu Dong naturally wanted to give full play to his goodwill.  Because compared to what he wanted from Yeltsin, he had to give him a piece of fat in the future.  It only requires the Yeltsin government to not choke him politically. For Yeltsin, this condition is definitely very generous.

    "Mr. Yeltsin, I value my friendship with you very much. Naturally, I will not put forward some unacceptable conditions, which will put considerable pressure on both you and our company. So.  , I just need Mr. Yeltsin to make a promise that if our company enters the resource field of the Soviet Union in the future, the government will not set up artificial political obstacles. As long as this is the case, our company will be satisfied, just like simply introducing foreign investment.  "Liu Dong pretended to be very pure and said.

    Hearing Liu Dong's words, Yeltsin was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely: "Is there just such a condition?"

    "Of course, our company is a law-abiding company and is committed to becoming a global enterprise. Therefore, our company does not want to get involved in some gray things. For the sake of the company's international image, our company will not do anything against the wishes of the local government.  What our company only needs is a fair competition environment. As long as there is this, I believe our company will be able to achieve certain results." Liu Dong said solemnly.

    Although even Liu Dong himself did not believe this, since it only required Yeltsin to promise to give them equal conditions, it had to be whitewashed.  Compared with the political pressure that Yeltsin needs to bear to directly allocate land to the company, providing Liu Dong Company with a level playing field is just a piece of cake for Yeltsin.  As long as Yeltsin is in power, just mention it casually and the problem will be solved.

    Although I don¡¯t know why Liu Dong would give such generous conditions, he would not be allowed to do anything politically contrary to the will of the Soviet Union, nor would he be allowed to promise how many benefits he must give to Liu Dong¡¯s company and divide the territory.  But Liu Dong only needs him to provide a level playing field. For Yeltsin, the pressure he bears is much less.

    Compared with those cannibalistic treaties, Liu Dong's conditions are undoubtedly more generous.  And Yeltsin needed such generous conditions.  However, if Liu Dong only needs this little thing, it is difficult for Yeltsin to imagine how much support Liu Dong will give him.

    Benefit giving is a reciprocal thing. Since Liu Dong's requirements are not that high, the support Liu Dong gives him will definitely not be too great.  For Yeltsin, who is in urgent need of strong support now, if Liu Dong provides too little help, even if the conditions proposed by Liu Dong are not high and are easy to complete, then it will be difficult for him to receive too many benefits from it.

    Therefore, Yeltsin is in a very contradictory mood now. He hopes that Liu Dong will speak out loudly, so that he will definitely get a lot of support.  But he doesn't want Liu Dong's request to be difficult to fulfill, because then even if he succeeds in the future, the price he has to pay will be quite high.

    One is the long-term benefit and the other is the short-term benefit. It is really difficult for people to decide.  Especially for this long-term benefit, if there is no strong support from near-term benefits, whether or not the benefits can be realized is still a question. How to balance the needs of these two aspects is what Yeltsin needs to think about most now.

    But now that Liu Dong has put forward his conditions, Yeltsin has to ask how much support Liu Dong can give him.

    "Mr. Liu Dong, I would like to ask, how much money is your company prepared to donate to the revival of the Soviet Union?" Naturally, Yeltsin could not tell Liu Dong openly and openly, how much money are you prepared to spend to do things.  Therefore, we must use a more euphemistic term. The revival of the Soviet Union is obviously a good topic.

    "specificThe amount is not easy to determine.  But we can tell you about the bottom line of our company.  Originally, our company had been preparing to vigorously develop the Soviet market, and had already mobilized US$200 million from the Hong Kong market.  But I didn't expect that such a problem would arise now, so this investment plan was temporarily stalled.  Just now, Mr. Yeltsin, you need it, so these two hundred million US dollars may be able to solve some problems for you.  The specific amount is up to you, Mr. Yeltsin, to make your own decision.  Liu Dong said.

    "Twenty million US dollars? Is this true?" Yeltsin asked emotionally.

    "Of course it is true, but although our company has abundant funds, it is impossible to give everything completely for the Soviet people. After all, interests are always naked." Liu Dong's words were relatively straightforward.

    Our company has money and can help you, but the price just now is definitely not enough.  Liu Dong is now laying out his trump cards and letting Yeltsin make his own choice. We have ample funds. It just depends on what trump cards you can use to impress us.

    Although the conditions proposed by Liu Dong now seem to be very loose, when Levet was asked to take the lead, Liu Dong said that he needed to control some Soviet energy resources and mining resources.  Equity participation and sole proprietorship are both possible.  Liu Dong hasn't said anything yet, but that doesn't mean Yeltsin can't use these as exchange conditions.  After all, two hundred million U.S. dollars, even if the U.S. dollar depreciates in later generations, is still a considerable fortune.  What's more, the 1980s are now the most difficult period for the Soviet economy.

    Yeltsin must be very clear about how much can be done with so much money.  Just a guarantee was not enough for Yeltsin to swallow so much money.  Then, Yeltsin must pay some extra price.  It is up to him to make up his own mind as to what specific things he wants, and while not affecting his future income, he should also try his best to ensure that the funds he can use now become abundant.

    Liu Dong left the multiple-choice questions to Yeltsin, and then Liu Dong jumped out.  Don¡¯t worry too much about the bargaining stage.  After all, Liu Dong himself knew his disadvantages.

    ¡°Whether it is myself, Zhou Qingfu, or Levget, they will definitely not have as much experience in negotiation as Yeltsin.  If they really want to get involved in negotiations, they will definitely be eaten to death by Yeltsin.

    It¡¯s better to show your cards right now and let Yeltsin make his own choice.  Yeltsin, who was already in a weak position, had no negotiation experience to rely on, and clearly marked the price and chose the conditions he could afford. This would undoubtedly be more in line with Liu Dong's interests than negotiating with high prices and repayment on the spot.

    Liu Dong can afford it now, but Yeltsin is different.  If he cannot start his work quickly and in time, the political capital he can gain from Gorbachev will slowly disappear over time.  The later the work of capital accumulation is completed, the easier it will be for Gorbachev to deal with him.

    Under such double pressure, Yeltsin could not endure endless negotiations.  He must make a choice in time that suits the current environment. Regardless of whether he will lose money or not, he must grit his teeth and persevere.  Taking future earnings as a bet is really not a good way to judge the situation.

    Liu Dong¡¯s plan is considered a conspiracy, and Yeltsin can naturally understand it.  If there is enough time, he is confident that he can get the lowest price in exchange for $200 million in support, but the problem is that he doesn't have much time to waste now.  Every minute and every second, the political bargaining chips he gained before were quickly disappearing with the passage of time.

    After thinking for a while, Yeltsin said: "Levtet said before that you are very interested in the Tyumen Oil Field. So, what can I get in exchange for the exploration and mining rights of the Tyumen Oil Field?"

    "This equity is very good, but undiscovered oil cannot be exchanged for established benefits. Moreover, our company is very unfamiliar with the Soviet Union. Where can we get benefits? This will seriously consider the company's patience. If  Just like this, you can't get much benefit." Liu Dong spread his hands and said helplessly.

    Although at this time, Liu Dong was more excited than anyone else, because the Tyumen Oilfield area, as the third largest oil-producing area in the Soviet Union, can be said to be extremely rich. It is only the exploration rights and mining rights that will have future value.  , far exceeding 200 million US dollars.  Especially when China is developing rapidly, as long as there is oil in hand, everyone must give Liu Dong face.  But now, these things are far from enough to impress Liu Dong.

    Because Liu Dong knew that there was something better, Yeltsin did not release it.  If you think about the fact that Yeltsin in later generations was able to make the decision to fully privatize, you can understand that even if Liu Dong takes over the existing oil mines in the Tyumen Oilfield, Yeltsin will not frown.

      In this case, why would Liu Dong let these petty profits go and let the real fat ones go in vain?  Compared to the so-called exploration rights and mining rights, wouldn't it be a better choice to directly take over those oil companies?
