Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People are all real animals. As long as there are benefits to give, they can be controlled.  For Yeltsin, if he wants to climb the highest mountain of the Soviet Union, then he must control two types of people, one is the ruler like him, and the other is the ruled. As long as Yeltsin can control these two types of people  , then he will be disadvantageous in every possible way in the Soviet Union.

    Liu Dong himself can only bring limited help to Yeltsin. Even if he has assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, if placed on such a huge stage as the Soviet Union, it is just a drop in the ocean.  Therefore, Liu Dong has never thought of controlling people like Yeltsin, unless he is a madman, or he has the same energy as Yeltsin.

    But this energy is basically impossible. As one of the two poles of the world, even if he is weak, it is not something he can control as a small individual.  The Soviet Union is not one of those small African countries. There are only a few people in each country, and the scientific and technological power is not good.  The Soviet Union is a behemoth. If it wants to obtain the benefits it wants, it must cooperate, and it must be cooperation from a weak position.  As an individual, it is quite difficult to achieve such cooperation.

    " Regarding the Soviet Union, what Liu Dong wanted from the beginning to the end was to make a fortune, not to control a place. That was not what he could do. So in essence, Liu Dong and Yeltsin did not have much conflict.  And Yeltsin also knew Liu Dong's ambitions, so Yeltsin was definitely more at ease with Liu Dong and Huanya than with those Americans.

    In order to get Yeltsin to support and even participate in this plan, Liu Dong also needs to tear through some superficial layers of paper. Although implicit words are more suitable for talking to people like Yeltsin, he has no political needs for Yeltsin.  , he is just a businessman, and this kind of implicit thing is not suitable for his friendship with Yeltsin.

    "Mr. Yeltsin, in fact, you should know the ultimate benefits of this plan. With light industrial products, some domestic problems in the Soviet Union can be solved and the people can be satisfied. And with your support, Mr. Yeltsin  ,I think this project will become bigger.

    And in the process of this transaction, those people you are optimistic about can also get actual benefits from this transaction.  You must know that our channel is not a normal state channel, but a private channel. Even the state cannot control what kind of benefits can be obtained from this.  I believe Mr. Yeltsin should understand what I am talking about. Mr. Gorbachev does not have such ability.  "Liu Dong continued to confuse.

    Hearing what Liu Dong said, Yeltsin frowned: "Aren't you afraid that I will be too worried about you? You know, if your company really completes such a big project, your company will form a huge company in the Soviet Union.  An interest group that is not entirely under my control?

    Even though this project can bring us a lot of benefits, rights are not suitable for a foreigner to participate. Do you think I will let you achieve such a goal?  I don't want a very powerful foreign force to exist in the Soviet Union in the future, and this force still belongs to an individual.  Because individuals cannot change the real general environment, their power is too weak and has no foundation, which is not in the interests of the Soviet Union.  It's not in my interest either.  "

    "From the very beginning of our communication, I told you, Mr. Yeltsin, that we are only seeking money when traveling around Asia. If we really have any political purpose in traveling around Asia, do you think I would still say these things to you?

    In fact, you don¡¯t need to care so much, because Huanya is always a company run by Chinese people. Even if it can attract many forces, it will not form a real core.  Such a force is not harmful to you.  As long as you think there is something wrong, you can use 10,000 methods to make it difficult for our Huanya to move forward in the Soviet Union.  I believe Mr. Yeltsin can do this.  And precisely because our company is an individual company, you have more reasons to cooperate with our company, because as you said, the power of individuals is always too weak to cause danger.  "Liu Dong said.

    Liu Dong didn't have much confidence in what kind of power Liu Dong's words could have, because his thinking may not be the same as Yeltsin's thinking.  Because he was a businessman and Yeltsin was a politician.  Although people often talk about government officials and businessmen, it seems that the two professions are closely related, but in fact, the gap between the two professions is also very obvious. It is not that simple or even difficult to truly integrate them into one.

    The thinking of businessmen and the thinking of officials are not so consistent at certain times.  Therefore, even if Liu Dong thinks more and more comprehensively and thinks everything is fine, he may not be able to pass Yeltsin's threshold because their ways of thinking are not consistent.

    After a while, Yeltsin said: "This so-called project of yours,When can it start?  I want to see the specific effects.  "

    Hearing what Yeltsin said, Liu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that Yeltsin was indeed very interested in this matter. Although he had made a lot of calculations before, he believed that Yeltsin had no reason to refuse such a deal, but politicians  No one can tell what is going on in his mind.

    Just like the transaction with Yeltsin a few years ago, such a large transaction amount was very necessary for the Soviet Union at that time. The original transaction should be able to continue.  But just because of the non-dealing between Gorbachev and Yeltsin, even companies like Huanya that did business with Yeltsin were suppressed.  Several years were wasted in the Soviet Union.

    ??Would such a deal be beneficial to the Soviet economy?  That definitely exists. At that time, the transaction was 200 million US dollars, and the price paid by the Soviet Union was only some people they could not use for the time being. Such people are not said to be the most common in the Soviet Union, but they are definitely not a minority.  , these people could not bring any benefits to the Soviet Union in the Soviet Union at that time, and would also become a burden to the Soviet Union.

    But even if it is something that is of great benefit to both parties, just because of Yeltsin's problem, Gorbachev directly cut off this already mature link. In business, such behavior will definitely be criticized.  It seems unreasonable that such a company will fail sooner or later, because the internal fighting within the company directly cuts off the access to the outside world. How can such a company have any way out?

    But if you look at this issue from a political perspective, then what Gorbachev did was very correct.  The transaction partner of Huanya is Yeltsin, not Gorbachev.  And if there continues to be such transactions, Yeltsin's prestige in the Soviet Union will be unprecedentedly high, because Yeltsin can bring benefits to everyone.  If that happens, Gorbachev will have to sit still and eradicate the roots. That is the inevitable choice.

    This is the essential difference between business thinking and political thinking. Business may be able to influence some politics at certain times, but if there are some stance issues, then even if business can make money, it will have to say goodbye to political power.  Of course, this is not an absolute thing, and only in socialist countries will such problems often occur.

    ¡°In capitalist countries, such problems occur less frequently.  But that¡¯s not to say there¡¯s no such thing at all. At least now, socialist countries and capitalist countries often use political means to interfere in commercial activities.  Just like a weird business like Batumi, it is obviously a profitable business, but because the camps are different, many things cannot be traded casually. In 1983, Toshiba sold several five-axis machine tools to the Soviet Union. In 1986, Toshiba almost lost money because of this incident.  , was punished to the point of ruining his fortune, and could not breathe for more than ten years.  According to normal business thinking, this is not wrong.  But from a political perspective, this is a big mistake.

    Because Toshiba was greedy for 3.5 billion yen, it ended up losing billions of dollars to NATO, so what was originally a correct business transaction turned into a wrong decision.

    Although Liu Dong is certain that his big project is definitely in line with Yeltsin's appetite, if Yeltsin's political thinking is different from his, then this matter may not be able to pass the test.  Fortunately, Yeltsin has now stated that he will take a look first, which proves that this plan has been more than half successful, and Yeltsin has accepted the intention of the large-scale Asia-Pacific project.

    As long as actual benefits can be obtained from the subsequent transactions and the transaction volume reaches a certain height, it will be natural for Yeltsin to participate.  After all, Yeltsin is also a poor man now. If he wants to win over more families, he must pay a certain price. Some people or forces do not need rights, so give them money. Both rights and money are in hand. Yeltsin  That means he really has the capital to confront Gorbachev.

    "It will take two months at the earliest to start. After all, our company is doing this kind of trade for the first time, so we need to be fully prepared, choose the right company, and choose the right machinery. It still takes two months.  It was not an easy task to travel from Siberia to the Far East during this period.

    Of course, I think that after the transaction is truly successful, things will become very simple. As long as the initial difficulties are overcome, there will be no possibility of this big project shrinking.  "Liu Dong said firmly.

    "Are you so confident? You know, for this project to really work, the equipment it needs to consume is not a small amount. Especially to reach the height you mentioned, the amount required is definitely not one or two hundred mechanical transactions.  It's a transaction of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Can you China digest so many machines?" At this time, Yeltsin was also a little curious.
