Jiang Feng shook his head. He didn't want to bother with the female police officer anymore, so he said, "Then let you go. I'm leaving. If there is anything, let's talk about it later."

Just as Jiang Feng was about to leave, Zhang Yunqian frowned and said, "Jiang Feng, you can't leave!"

Jiang Feng was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"You haven't given me an explanation for what happened tonight!" Zhang Yunqian said, "Even if you leave, I won't give up."

"I understand!" Jiang Feng smiled, "You have this power, but Officer Zhang, your police officers also need to tell evidence when handling cases. If you want to accuse me, then I will wait for you to come to me again! Haha..."

After that, he ignored Zhang Yunqian's threat and left the hospital directly. He helped her tonight. Jiang Feng was already very kind and righteous. As for Zhang Yunqian to deal with him, she would do whatever she wanted. With Jiang Feng's current status, he would still be afraid of such a small traffic police captain? Even if this traffic police captain was from the Zhang family, one of the wealthy families in the capital.

Zhang Yunqian on the hospital bed was angry and hated. She watched Jiang Feng leave the hospital without any help. The man had a captivating aura and he didn't take himself seriously at all.

After tonight's incident, Jiang Feng's mood calmed down slightly. When he came out of Wanliuyishuiyuan, he turned off his phone. Now he got into the car and picked it up and saw that there were many messages and text messages during the time of shutting down the phone. Jiang Feng looked at a few of them and asked him where he was now and when he would go home. Jiang Feng did not call him one by one, but drove back by himself.

...

On this day, Jiang Feng saw a news that Russian President Putin will visit China in the near future to discuss deepening economic cooperation between the two countries.

A storm caused by the bankruptcy of subprime mortgage lenders and forced to close investment funds, and a violent stock market storm swept across the United States in August this year, with major financial markets such as the European Union and Japan. The biting chill also made Russians feel the chill of the economic winter.

Before Japan, discussions on the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in Russian media gradually heated up. In fact, the term "financial crisis" is not unfamiliar to Russia. The disaster in 1998 cost Russia a heavy price: about half of the more than 2,000 banks were forced to go bankrupt, and millions of Russians lost the wealth accumulated over the years overnight. After that painful lesson, Russia took a series of reform measures to "strengthen the muscles and bones" for the financial system.

Melikiyan, the first deputy governor of the Russian Central Bank, said that the current Russian banking system is completely different from before the 1998 financial crisis in terms of scale, capacity, stable reserves and regulatory mechanisms. Data shows that the main indicators of the Russian banking system were generally better than those of Western countries last year.

The improvement in Russia's financial situation is largely due to the large inflow of "petroleum dollar" in recent years. The proportion of oil and natural gas revenue in Russia's GDP increased from 12.7% in 1999 to 31.6% in 2007. Currently, Russia's foreign exchange gold reserves are close to US$500 billion, compared with only US$11 billion 10 years ago.

It seems that international energy prices are still at a high level, but in fact, the current prices are out of touch with the supply and demand situation in the international market. The current high oil prices are largely caused by capital inflows and the depreciation of the US dollar. With the economic data of major developed countries in the next one or two months, if the data shows that the United States has fallen into recession, then world crude oil demand will shrink and international oil prices will fall sharply. This will also have a great impact on the Russian economy, which relies on energy exports.

In response to the impact of the upcoming financial crisis, Russia has targeted China's neighbor, which has increased its energy demand.

In fact, China and Russia have begun cooperation in energy before this, which was the agreement reached with Putin when Jiang Feng went to Russia last time. For this reason, Jiang Feng also agreed to provide Russia with 50 billion US dollars in economic aid.

However, before this, Russia was not very enthusiastic about this cooperation, so the progress of both sides was slow. However, now the subprime mortgage crisis is coming, the economies of the United States, Japan and European developed countries have suffered heavy losses, and there is no hope of recovery in the short term, and the demand for energy has also decreased, which makes Russia a little anxious. So Putin chose to visit China at this time, hoping to accelerate the process of cooperation.

Jiang Feng's heart started to move.

When Jiang Feng went to Russia, Jiang had not intervened in the development of oil and natural gas, so Jiang Feng did not make any other requests to Putin at that time. Jiang has now entered the field of oil and natural gas development, so he can use this opportunity to enter the Russian market.

In fact, Jiang Feng has been coveting Russia's natural resources for a long time.

Chinese people are often proud of their country's vast land and wealth, but in fact, Russia is the country with the highest land and natural resources in the world.

From oil, coal and iron to agricultural, livestock and seafood, from forests, water and electricity to rare metals, Russia is one of the top resource powers in the world today. These will become the key reliance on Russia's resurgence and one of the basic elements that affect the direction of Russia's domestic and foreign policy.

Russia is the only country in the world where natural resources are almost completely self-sufficient. As a world resource power, Russia's proven resource reserves account for about one-fifth of the world's total resources, ranking first in the world.

The total value of all natural resources in Russia is about 30 trillion US dollars, of which the proven resource reserves are about 30 trillion US dollars. Compared with Russia, the proven natural resource reserves value of the United States is ten trillion US dollars, China is five trillion US dollars, and Western Europe is two billion US dollars.

From the perspective of category, Russia's various resource reserves are almost at the forefront of the world, especially in other countries with very shortage of minerals, forests, land, water and other resources. Russia has a very big advantage.

The understanding of the country's abundant natural resources can basically be summarized into two categories: one is the theory of resource opportunities and the other is the theory of resource disaster.

Before the 1970s, the world economic community generally believed that the richer the natural resources a certain country would be more conducive to economic development. However, people later believed that abundant natural resources might be unfavorable to economic development. For example, after the Netherlands discovered oil and natural gas in the North Sea, it led to the appreciation of the Dutch currency and difficulties in exports in other fields. At that time, the Netherlands fell into the dilemma of slow economic growth and high unemployment rate, which was called "Dutch disease".

Therefore, some people believe that the oil and other resources may ultimately bring more harm to Russia than good, and they are worried that the Russian economy may lose its competitiveness and thus suffer from "Dutch disease".

But it is obvious that the Russian political axe does not feel that rich natural resources will become a burden, but rather believes that natural resources are the strategic basis for promoting Russia's re-emergence, and thus increases control over resources.

Jiang Feng remembers it very clearly that within a few years after Putin came to power, the Russian Political Axe clearly announced that it had banned foreign companies from participating in the development of natural resources such as Russian oil, gas, gold, and copper. If the shares of foreign companies in the Russian joint venture account for more than 49%, the company will not be allowed to participate in the development of Russian natural resources. This means that foreign companies will not be able to participate in the mining of Russian natural resources.

In this way, Jiang Feng hopes that at this critical moment when Western funds flee Russia as soon as possible due to the economic crisis, he can achieve his goal of entering the Russian resource market by taking the upper level route. I think Russia, which is eager to enter foreign capital, should not have much rejection of the olive branch he has extended.

Sure enough, when Jiang Feng made an appointment with Putin and put forward his own ideas, Putin was moved. He asked: "Which aspect does the Jiang Consortium hope to invest more? How much can it be invested?"

"We are quite confident in investing in Russia. If we can be allowed to drive oil and gas resources in East and West Siberia, the initial investment will not be less than 20 billion US dollars. If the Russian government allows us to enter the telecommunications market, this part of the investment will not be less than 10 billion US dollars." Jiang Feng carefully reported two figures to Putin. This was the conclusion he came to after repeated consideration. It should not be too little or too much. Otherwise, Putin would regret it after hearing that Jiang Feng would actually invest so much money to enter Russia.

Sure enough, Putin was able to bear the two figures reported by Jiang Feng. If this could be done, it would introduce 30 billion US dollars of foreign capital to Russia and subsequent development funds, which is a great gain.

If you can accomplish this before you leave office, you can make your political achievements more decent, and what you hand over to Medvedev is also a relatively rich political resource.

From the bottom of his heart, Putin still hopes that Russia will become better in his hands. Although he has made drastic moves to ruin the old system, this does not mean that he does not want to establish a more prosperous Russia, rather than just facing the embarrassing situation where the unemployment rate remains high and the economy is in poverty.

Therefore, the topics raised by Jiang Feng to him were something he could not take lightly at, or in other words, this was also an irresistible condition.

However, Putin didn’t know where Jiang Feng’s bottom line was? How much did he hope to get from Russia?
