Putin held Zhou Hao's hand. Although he has always been a person who keeps his emotions secret, Zhou Hao's "Mr. President" really made him feel comfortable. He was not overly modest in front of Zhou Hao and was very candid.
He recognized his established identity.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Before, you said that I was the prince of some red family. In fact, you are the real prince. I also believe that under your leadership, Russia will get rid of its decline and regain its glory."
Putin nodded deeply: "I appreciate your words." Then he smiled: "I'm curious, how do you know me?"
"In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Think about it, since the last time you appeared on Russian TV, how long has it been since you appeared in public? Also, your Russia is now in a period of power transition, so what is the role of the Federal Security Service?
Global activities should be much more cautious and restrained to avoid complications, but you led a team to come to Hong Kong to hunt down William Rashid.
You know, once this matter is discovered, even if China and your country are in alliance, your country will probably be passive, and the United States and other Western countries will take the opportunity to provoke. This responsibility is too great, so I think that within the Federal Security Service
Others should not have such courage, unless their chairman personally takes action.
And the benefits of doing this are easy to guess. Moscow is in the most intense period of power struggle. Although you are the focus of all forces and the key figure in the entire turmoil, at this time, you are in the whirlpool.
On the contrary, the center is not good. It is like dancing on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you will be in danger.
The ending of revenge. If you step away, you will not only be able to reduce the pressure on you, but also be able to see the situation more clearly. As I said before, since William Rashid is so important to your country, if you can capture him
Capture and save your country's losses to the maximum extent. If you go back with this achievement, you will be more confident.
There is another thing, I think, your leaving Moscow should have been ordered by Yeltsin. He didn’t want you to be at the center of the storm. You are his personally selected successor. He wants to personally handle the situation for you.
He withstood the most intense attack."
Putin looked at Zhou Hao blankly. In his life, whether he was a spy in the KGB or rose up in politics, he had seen countless people, and he had also seen a lot of cunning and cunning people in a city as deep as the sea, but he was not like Zhou Hao in front of him.
Shocking, especially Zhou Hao still looks so young.
Everything Zhou Hao said is true. Putin even doubted whether there were Chinese spies in the power center in Moscow, making Zhou Hao aware of his situation so clearly. Putin is more willing to believe that this is the case, because if these are all
If Zhou Hao had guessed it himself, then Zhou Hao would be really terrible.
He said sincerely: "To be honest, I am very glad that you have not entered politics. With your talents and the energy of the Zhao family, it is not surprising that you will reach the highest peak of power in China in the future." Putin stared at Zhou piercingly.
Hao: "If China is led by you, let alone the United States, even we in Russia will be restless."
Zhou Hao smiled slightly: "That's too much of a reward. I'm just a smart businessman. My godfather, the chairman, and the prime minister are the capable people with great wisdom. Compared with them, I'm still too immature."
.”
Putin shook his head and smiled: "No matter what you say, it's nice to meet you."
He held Zhou Hao's hand harder. At this moment, Putin really wanted to make friends with Zhou Hao.
"By the way, what do you think of the Russian financial market?" Zhou Hao suddenly asked. In this harmonious atmosphere, it is the best choice to slowly introduce the topic to his own purpose.
"How do you see it? How else can you see it?" Putin shook his head angrily: "A large part of our financial market is controlled by those financial oligarchs. Even several national banks in the Soviet Union were in turmoil.
The period has fallen into the hands of those evil wolves who are insatiable, and these wolves are our most hateful enemies in Russia!"
Putin deeply hates the oligarchs in Russia who are unsatisfied and suck the blood of the country's people. Zhou Hao knows this and knows that in the original history, after Putin officially became president, he dealt a heavy blow to those oligarchs.
And most of those oligarchs who seemed to have become local emperors met a miserable end under Putin's attack.
Hearing Zhou Hao's question, Putin raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why, are you also interested in our domestic financial market?"
Touching Putin's vigilant and chilling gaze, Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that it would be better not to let this iron-blooded president be hostile to him, otherwise it would be endless trouble for him.
Putin not only hates his own domestic financial oligarchs, but also the international speculators who covet the Russian financial market and are supported by the United States, Britain and other Western countries. Russia's financial and state-owned assets fell into the hands of wolves due to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The field has always been Putin's bottom line. Once someone crosses the line, he will immediately launch the most ruthless attack.
Zhou Hao knew that he could not weaken his momentum at this time, so he nodded calmly: "Yes, I am very interested in your financial market. As I said just now, I am a profit-seeking businessman. Wherever there is profit, I will
interested."
Almost at the same time, Zhou Hao felt keenly that Putin's aura was getting colder. But Zhou Hao did not panic at all, and continued to smile: "I know you are determined to rectify the Russian financial market, and you must also make sure that you have fallen into the trap before."
The state-owned assets in human hands are recovered."
Putin's expression softened: "Now that you already know that I am going to crack down on the financial market, you should understand that this is a very high risk for speculators like you."
"Hehehehe, crisis is crisis, when there is danger there is opportunity." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "With you as the president taking care of me, I think it will be difficult to lose money."
Then I saw Putin leaning against the wall with his arms folded, looking at Zhou Hao with interest: "Tell me, why should I look after you?"
"Because I can help you deal with those financial oligarchs in Russia, and I can also give you a head-on blow to the large number of international financial giants who have poured into the Russian stock market and want to take advantage of the situation, so that they can come back defeated." Zhou Hao said confidently.
"Oh?" Putin was indeed interested in Zhou Hao's words, but he still didn't believe it: "Zhou Hao, although I have become your friend now, you'd better not make fun of me. I'm not very good.
Likes to joke."
Putin is very aware of the power of the financial oligarchs in Russia. Not only do those wolves control the financial economy of their respective "turfs", but the strongest ones can even control the Russian Central Bank to a certain extent when they unite.
, as a whole it has a very large influence on the Russian economy.
The Russian stock market is similar to China's in that it is self-contained and not linked to the international community. Although this reduces the impact of the Russian stock market on international financial turmoil, it also increases the difficulty for the government to deal with those financial oligarchs.
If it is linked to the international financial market, the fluctuations in the international financial market can be used to weaken the funds of those financial oligarchs. However, in Russia's self-contained financial structure, even the rules of the game are determined by those oligarchs.
And those oligarchs are using their money to
Russia has established a huge network of relationships. Almost all officials in the Russian government have more or less connections with them. With their influence in the government, some powerful oligarchs even control gold mines, iron mines, oil fields, etc.
He obtained important minerals and further expanded his financial resources.
Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union that shocked the world, the Russians, who were originally loyal to the Soviet Union and united like iron, gradually developed a desire for money and material in an environment of long-term turmoil and poverty, and these oligarchs had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Corroded. This situation is especially serious in the military. Before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of Russian-made arms flowed into the arms black market around the world. There were even nuclear warheads appearing at black market auctions. These arms were sold by the Russian military for money.
of.
This situation is similar to the separatist regimes of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history. Although Yeltsin improved the situation through tough methods and courage when he was in power, Russia is seriously ill and needs continued efforts by Putin's successor.
Precisely because he knew that those oligarchs were difficult to deal with, Putin was skeptical of Zhou Hao's words.
Just listen to Zhou Hao say: "You know this Asian financial crisis, although your Russian stock market is not linked to the international market, it will always be affected more or less. The most important thing is that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
You don't want to move, but those financial giants don't seem to let you go. I think you have noticed that there are now a large number of financial giants investing money in your Russian financial market, and your financial oligarchs are also involved.
, I want to get a share of this feast.”
In fact, it is quite sad to think about it. Just like Xu Jianming and others here in Hong Kong, when faced with predators like George Soros, they not only failed to help their country, but secretly participated in it to carve up their country's money. It is really difficult to die.
Atoning for his sins.
Putin was horrified and moved when he heard this. He had indeed discovered that a large amount of hot money had poured into the Russian financial market. However, on the one hand, he was trapped in the turmoil of the power struggle and had no time to take care of it. On the other hand, he felt that the hot money might be normal.
investment, it did not pay enough attention.
Now after hearing what Zhou Hao said, he realized how serious the situation was.
