"There is such a great work pressure in normal times, health issues cannot be ignored." The richest man shook his head with regret, "Isn't President Karma Qin also suffering from heart disease?"

Tang Huan said this so tactfully. Russian men are usually a habit of drinking for two sips when they are fine. It is well known that Karma Qin is no longer the state of "drinking two sips when they are fine". Instead, he is drunk to the point of relying on alcohol, and even ignores diplomatic occasions.

For example, Bill Collinton's infidelity at the inauguration ceremony of the US President in 1993, and Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds was humiliated outside the plane for a long time without meeting, etc. They were all drunk and it was not an exaggeration to say it was a "diplomacy accident".

Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak's dietary habits are not much better than Yeltsin.

Speaking of this, the richest man pondered and suggested: "Or, you can take advantage of the time you left the field and go to Western European countries with more developed medical conditions to take a good rest."

Tang Huan said this, which was also very tactful. The real meaning of the inside was to let Sobchak go abroad to avoid the limelight, because of the political liquidation against him, it was already a very unbreakable attitude.

"There may be something wrong with my passport." Sobchak replied with a wry smile, which somewhat reflects his current embarrassment.

However, a political veteran like Sobchak will definitely not be able to wait for death, and he must have had a plan to deal with it long ago.

He turned around and asked, "Dang, do you think President Karma Qin can successfully win the second round of election voting and be re-elected?"

The richest man immediately understood that the other party was relying on his hope that Karma Qin would continue to stay on stage to suppress the signs of political liquidation in Russia.

I have to say that reformists like Sobchak are very concerned about the upright way of making moves.

Tang Huan replied confidently: "Maybe the process is a bit thrilling, but the result will definitely be satisfactory."

In addition to being severely controlled by his own heart disease, Karma Qin's political career was also despised in public opinion. The phenomenon that the approval rating at the beginning of this year was close to zero, which illustrates this problem.

The reason is very simple. In the past few years of being the President of Russia, people's livelihood has withered. The people's lives have not been better than the Soviet era. How could they still be willing to support him?

However, the social reality is cruel. Russia's voice has not fallen into the hands of the poor, but is controlled by the minority who made a fortune from the privatization process.

This type of rich people who were originally called "oligarchs" in time and space several years later found that once Karma Qin stepped down, there would be no one with enough political energy to protect their vested interests on the stage. So he urged Karma Qin, who was in poor health, to participate in this year's presidential election and provide various support.

To put it bluntly, these people were determined to not let the Russian Communist Party come to power. Although this faction has undergone earth-shaking changes in its political program compared to the previous version, their butts are not sitting on their own.

As a result, in the first round of voting held on June 16, Karma Chin, who competed extremely fiercely as an independent candidate, received more than 26.66 million votes, a proportion of 35.8%; while Gennady Jiuganov, the representative elected by the Russian Communist Party, received more than 24.21 million votes, a proportion of 32.5%.

This shows how close the "support" between the two sides is.

It is worth noting that during the election process, the proportion of "protest votes" cannot be ignored.

The so-called "protest votes" refer to votes that deliberately vote for candidates with very low chances of winning, or candidates with high social controversy, to express dissatisfaction with the main political and party candidates.

Generally speaking, the people who voted for "protest" only accounted for a small part of all voters and had little impact on the election results.

But in the first round of the Russian presidential election, more than 1.16 million people voted for "protest votes", reaching 1.6%, exceeding the vote-gathering strength of several runners.

Judging from the current chaos, it is really confusing to see who will win in the upcoming second round of voting on July 3rd.

But Tang Huan knew how the small group of people who now occupy the most resources in Russia were restless and then took a gamble.

"I hope so." Sobchak nodded, then changed his subject: "Although my travel is restricted now, I want my daughter Ksenya to go abroad to receive more advanced higher education. I wonder if Tang can help?"

It seems that Sobchak is also preparing for a way out. After all, the latest poll results are that Gennady Jiuganov is steadily exceeding 25%, while Karma Chin barely maintains around 10%.

The richest man laughed in silence and said, "Don't worry, just give me some peace of mind."

...

Compared to Sobchak being busy with self-protection, Pujing must have to move around. In this turbulent and unpredictable situation, it is a good opportunity to place bets.

Tang Huan brought Pu Jing and mainly contacted two circles.

Just at the beginning of this year, United Bank President Boris Abramovich Berezovsky and Bridge Bank President Vladimir Gusinsky took the lead and united Menagep Bank President Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Capital Savings Bank President Alexander Smolensky, President of International Commercial Bank Vladimir Vinogradov, Alpha Bank President Mikhail Friedman, and Russian Credit Commercial Bank President Malkin to form an alliance to support Karma Chin's re-election to prevent Gennady Jiuganov from being elected.

To describe it in a more well-known sentence, this is the "Seven Oligarchs" under Russian characteristics.

The Karma Qin poll is so low that it is not easy to maintain a double-digit 10%, but in the first round of elections, he still won by more than 3 percentage points higher. The secret is that it depends on money.

Russia's election law limits the campaign spending limit of each presidential candidate to US$3 million even if Gennady Jiuganov on the Russian Communist Party wants to overspending, he may not have the financial resources; while Ye Linqin's financial side involves the capital market, the specific figures from US$700 million to US$2 billion are very secretive, and no one can say it correctly.

Where does so much money come from? Of course, these oligarchs are the ones.

In addition, international forces are exerting influences, either openly or secretly. For example, under the urging of the United States, the International Monetary Fund promised Russia's $10.2 billion loan, which was received this year. This is tantamount to a timely rain, which makes the Karma Government sufficient to pay the wages and pensions owed millions of Russians.

After the money has been opened, the next step is naturally a media war.

These oligarchs not only own banks, control profit-making industries such as oil, but also control newspapers, TV stations Boris Abramovich Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky, and have another identity as media tycoons.

The event attended by the richest man and Lisboa, which was not yet available at the time, was a banquet held by Boris Abramovich Berezovsky.

These oligarchs are trying to use such public occasions to create an atmosphere where no one can replace the status of karma and imperial politics.

At the banquet, they shouted loudly that once Gennady Jiuganov and the Russian Communist Party came to power, Russia would retreat to the Stalin era under high pressure, and many of them could not escape the tragic fate of being sent to the Gulag labor camp.

It has to be said that the trick to incite such panic is very effective. It is not an exaggeration to say that he hit Gennady Jiuganov's fatal point.

Tang Huan held the wine glass, took a sip, then glanced at Lisboa, who was carefully observing the banquet dynamics, thinking in his mind that Sobchak's many political claims would harm the interests of these oligarchs in front of him, and thus made him not receive strong support in Russia after the Saint Petersburg liquidated him.

After Yeltsin was re-elected without any danger with the support of these oligarchs, he would probably rely more on the interest group and would not be able to save Sobchak in the end.

At this time, Boris Abramovich Berezovsky, who had been passionate, came over and said, "Tang, do a business with you."

The richest man smiled and said, "That must be a big deal."

"Whether it's big depends on whether you are willing to give up the price." Boris Abramovich Berezovsky lowered his voice: "I need a computer image processing service that can withstand the eye test of everyone in Russia."

Tang Huan, who heard the sound of the piano, put down his wine glass and asked casually: "Why, President Karma Qin's health is not allowed to participate in the next public campaign?"

"Tang is indeed a smart person with a good reputation. No matter what happens, he can't hide it from you." Boris Abramovich Berezovsky compliments while asking the waiter to bring the top Volga he had collected. "President Karma Chin's heart disease was very serious at the beginning of the year, and the work pressure in the past few months is so great, and now he is overwhelmed."

Boris Abramovich Berezovsky personally poured wine for the richest man. "I think it should be no problem to create some photos of President Karma Chin who still insisted on working while he was sick."

Tang Huan did not answer immediately, but took the bottle and gave the Lisboa next to him a full glass, and then introduced: "This is Vladimir Vladimirovic Lisboa, currently the deputy director of the President's Property Management Office, and was previously the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg."

Boris Abramovich Berezovsky smiled meaningfully, "There is very lively now in St. Petersburg."

The richest man raised his glass and signaled: "No matter how lively the other side of St. Petersburg is, it has nothing to do with Vladimir. He plans to develop his own career in Moscow."

Boris Abramovich Berezovsky nodded in a clear way, chatted with Lisboa for a few words, and then turned back to the previous topic, "Tang, how about the business I just mentioned?"

"What business is not business?" Tang Huan smiled faintly, "Although the Internet in Russia is not as powerful as the United States, it is still very prosperous. I am still worried that I can't find the professional talents you are asking for?"

"Tang said," Boris Abramovich Berezovsky laughed in understanding.

...

After coming out of this lively and even nearly fanatical banquet, the richest man who walked to the car sighed, "In today's Russia, the fate is determined by these people inside."

After saying that, Tang Huan smiled at Lisboa and said, "Go back and have a good rest. We will go to visit President Yeltsin tomorrow."

"Isn't President Yeltsin's visit now because of health reasons?" Lisboa asked unexpectedly that he had been working in Moscow for some time, but at most he could just look at Karma from afar.

The richest man asked intriguedly: "If one day I go to the Kremlin to visit you who feels unwell, will you be turned away?"

Lisboa waved her hand generously, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't cherish friendship?"

...

Yeltsin does need to rest now, but Tang Huan has many connections. For example, this line maintained through Nerikin and Karma Chin's youngest daughter Tatyana.

Nerikin, the gymnastics Olympic champion, is not comparable to those of her former colleagues who are currently living in a difficult situation. She holds important positions in sports institutions such as the International Gymnastics Federation, the Russian Olympic Committee, and is also an important director of the Down global sports industry, and has an extraordinary social status.

Moreover, through deeds such as relieving former athletes who have had a hard time, they have gained a lot of reputation.

With this capital, Nerikin was enough to make friends with Russia's first daughter equally.

Tatyana currently has a very special status in the presidential palace. She has been with her father who has been suffering from heart disease for many years. She is the manager of the presidential team of Karma Qin this year. The special power of her hands is self-evident.

After meeting, the richest man asked with concern, "How effective is the traditional Chinese medicine health care I recommend?"

"Very good." Tatyana replied gratefully: "Some of my father's symptoms have been significantly relieved."

"That's good." Tang Huan nodded and introduced the Lisboa beside him.

Next, the richest man and Karma Qin, who was still recuperating, briefly met for 10 minutes, and talked about some good news from his own perspective, which made the other party much easier.

...

Tang Huan traveled in Russia for a few days, and the second round of presidential elections arrived as scheduled on July 3.

The independent candidate, Aliqin, who was at a clear disadvantage in the previous poll, won 54.4% of the vote, defeated the Russian Communist Party candidate Gennady Jiuganov, and was re-elected as president of Russia as he wished.

However, his inauguration will not be held until August 9.
