Chapter 255 The thorn in Putin's heart

"As far as we investigated, this yacht is all yours, Mr. Jiang, and the torpedoes are also purchased from the arms market." Putin said to Jiang Feng, "Of course, the Japanese are very angry about this, but they don't know what to do. Although we know this, there is no need to stand up for the Japanese."

"So, what does the president mean?" Jiang Feng was depressed, and the Russians actually caught the handle. This feeling was obviously not very happy.

"Oh, nothing." Putin said to Jiang Feng, "We are happy to see the Japanese being defeated. This time we invite Mr. Jiang here. In fact, there are some cooperation projects to discuss. At the same time, we also hope that the Japanese can continue to be troubled by trouble."

Jiang Feng felt a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, after a long period of time, there was a Russian nuclear submarine present. This was really incredible. I can only say that he was not lucky.

However, at this time, Jiang Feng thought that he would have to give up some blood before he could go back. After all, Putin is definitely not a good-for-nothing, but he thought that the other party would not have done too much, otherwise he would insist that it was the Russian who framed it, and the other party would have no choice.

If the conditions are not too excessive, you can still accept it.

Putin is concerned about more than one issue.

"We still have a lot of content to cooperate with." Putin changed his tone and said to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng has adapted to Putin's teleportation conversation and said in his heart that he had a different feeling when he negotiated with the president, the agent leader. He basically had no polite words. If you use any words to describe Putin, it should be said that he is like a well-run supercomputer, step by step, and it is completely indecisive.

"Are you a robot?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask back with a little depressed feeling.

Putin's mouth touched the corners of his mouth, and then said to Jiang Feng: "Work should be passionate and focused. The operation of Russia's state machine itself is like a huge machine. As the president of the Russian Federation, of course, I must have precise operation like a computer. What you say can be regarded as an affirmation of my work."

Jiang Feng curled his lips, raised his glass full of red wine toast him, and then said: "I will solve the problem of the Japanese. I don't want to do anything about fighting and killing. Isn't it just to arouse collective hatred of the international community towards the Japanese? This is very simple!"

"That's great. I need to take effect in a short period of time. Is it okay for three months?" Putin nodded and asked.

"It should be no problem." Jiang Feng thought for a while and replied.

"That's great, let's talk about other aspects of cooperation next." Putin suggested.

In fact, this time the Jiang Feng came, there was only one main purpose, that is, to strengthen cooperation between China and Russia in energy and minerals, mainly in the development of oil and gas fields in Siberia.

Because he had already discovered through Anna Kuschenko the main purpose of Jiang Feng's visit this time and the approximate price that China could pay in this regard, Putin was very convinced that Jiang Feng would agree to his proposal.

However, what Putin didn't know was that the information reported by Anna Kuschenko was not the bottom line of the negotiations between China and Jiang Feng. On the contrary, Jiang Feng inferred many Russian attitudes through Anna's temptation.

Putin is also in favor of strengthening cooperation with China in oil and gas field development. The main reason why Putin has changed this attitude is that Putin is wary of some domestic oil and gas merchants.

Putin is now discussing the purpose of oil and gas field development with Jiang Feng, mainly to prevent the threat of the energy industry oligarchs represented by Gutseliev, so as not to cause any wavering of his own regime.

At the beginning, Putin relied on Abramovich and other Russian financial oligarchs to stabilize his rule in Russia. However, as his dominance in Russia increased, these oligarchs who had helped him have become the biggest threat to the stability of his regime. Therefore, in the past two or three years, Putin has gradually taken action against the oligarchs. When Putin came to power, the seven oligarchs were famous for their monopoly of temporary wealth, and therefore had different fates and fled to the world.

Judging from the different experiences of the "Seven Oligarchs", Putin is fulfilling his promise to voters during the campaign: to eliminate the oligarch class. Yeltsin has only been away from politics for more than three years, and most of the oligarchs who have been in a glorious situation are in trouble.

However, the Russian oligarchy was not weakened by the fall of a few people. The old oligarch was dissolved and the new oligarch appeared again, and Guceliyev was the representative of this.

Guceliyev is a member of the Ingush tribe, and his family and blood ties are very strong. He was born in 1958 and is only 47 years old now.

Guttelliev was born in Kazakhstan, where his grandfathers and fathers were forcibly moved from the Ingush Autonomous Republic during the war.

During Khrushchev's reign, they were rehabilitated and the family returned to Karablak. Gutseliev worked as a warehouse porter and chemical craftsman. Later, he entered the Moscow Gubu Gem and Petrochemical Academy, and his eyes fell on oil and gas. He returned to Grozny, which produces high-quality oil.

Soon, Gorbachev implemented reforms and called on people to create cooperatives. Guceliev founded a furniture company with Russia and Italy in a joint fee. In the former Soviet Union, which had been blocked for many years, his Italian furniture was unprecedentedly popular, and Guceliev accumulated the first original capital.

Later, he founded the bank and became a famous entrepreneur in the Chechnya Ingush Autonomous Republic. His reputation quickly spread throughout the North Caucasus. In 1991, Guceliyev was elected as the chairman of the country's entrepreneurs association.

Guceliyev has no upper-level relationships and no special favor from the top government officials. He is an authentic grassroots faction. His management method has a basic belief: "People who can start from open space and zero points are geniuses, and everything else is no longer a business, but possession of other people's property."

However, his progress in making a fortune fully reflects this characteristic of "occupying other people's property".

In 1994, Russia saw a craze for building free economic zones. In St. Petersburg, Putin proposed and was responsible for establishing free economic zones.

Guceliyev was appointed as the administrative head of the Ingush Free Economic Zone, and he decided to abandon business and enter politics.

The following year, he ran for the second Russian State Duma, but was unsuccessful and was elected Vice-Chairman of the Duma, responsible for coordinating the work of the Commission on Industry, Construction, Transportation and Power, the Commission on Science and Education, the Commission on Agriculture, the Commission on Ethnic Affairs, etc., as well as ties with Arab countries and Near Eastern countries.

In the following years, Gutsariyev was seen as the guardian of the solution to the Ingush issue in Chechnya. In December 1999, he was re-elected as the representative of the State Duma as an independent candidate. In February 2000, Russia and Belarus established the joint oil company Slav Oil Company. He was elected as the company's president, but was dismissed only two years later. The reason was that in April of that year, he supported his brother Hamzart to run for the president of the Ingush Republic, confronting the candidates supported by President Putin. At the airport in the capital of Ingush, two large boxes of banknotes were seized from a plane from Moscow, saying that Gutsariyev supported his brother's election. As a result, the scandal spread and Gutsariyev was removed from his position as president of the Slav Oil Company.

There are rumors that Putin was not satisfied with him, so he took this decision. When Gutseliev learned about it, he was very angry and determined to return to his old business. In 2002, he founded his own private enterprise, "Ross Oil Company".

With the resources accumulated over the years, Guttsyev's Ross Oil Company has 30 oil production companies, 2 oil processing plants and a complete sales network in just four years. Its power has touched remote republics such as Russia's central states, East, West Siberia, and even remote republics such as Udmurt and Comey. The company has 170 oil and natural gas production areas, with a total oil reserve of 630 million tons and an annual oil extraction volume of 17 million tons. In the past five and a half years, Ross Oil Company has made profits every year.

This is thanks to Gutseliev's "Business": When founding the Ross Oil Company, Gutseliev said: "People who can build their own business from scratch are geniuses. And everything else is no longer a business, but possessing other people's property." A series of facts also proves Gutseliev's "business": Since 2003, Gutseliev has been selected as "Excellent Manager of the Year" almost every year, and Ross Oil Company has been named "Excellent Enterprise of the Year".

Although Ross Oil Company has brilliant performance, it is not the largest among the 10 Russian oil companies and ranks 7th. However, Ross Oil Company has two major characteristics: one is that it does not have multiple shareholders like other companies. Guceliyev owns 70 shares of the company, and the other 30 belong to his family and relatives, which are "private oil companies" in the pure sense. Second, Guceliyev continues to acquire other small enterprises and expand his strength. His subsidiaries are spread all over Russia, with great development potential and space.

As a result, Guttsyev's Ross Oil Company became a fat meat that other larger oil companies and chaebols coveted. Khodorkovsky's "Yukos" and Abramovich's "Siberian Petroleum" had both had grudges with it. Now, the one who devoted the greatest attention to Ross Oil Company is Deripascal of the "basic elements" company.

Of course, in addition to all chaebols, the Russian government is more willing to own controlling stake in Ross Oil Company. Since the "Yukos" incident, the Russian government's basic policy in the oil field is to control all private oil companies in the form of large state shares, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of the Putin government's national development outline based on oil and natural gas. The Ross Oil Company is precisely the oil company that the Russian government has not yet entered. In addition, the territory occupied by Ross Oil Company is a traditional oil production and processing area in the Soviet era. The existence of such private enterprises is a big obstacle to the Russian government. (To be continued. Please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
