rebirth of change

Hearing that Samidov knew the future political strongman Ivan, Chen Kangjie was somewhat excited.Ivan is a person with great political ambitions and ideals. His wish is to restore the historical glory of Russia. The future Russian regime will be in his hands. Tough measures have been taken externally.

Of course, no matter what method is used, it is really difficult for a country to become strong without economic prosperity and development as the foundation.At present, Russia's economy has plummeted. People's living standards have not improved, but gradually declined. The scale of the economy has not improved much in the ranking of the world's major countries, and domestic politics has always been unstable.Chen Kangjie remembers that after Ivan came to power, the Russian economy has made great progress, which is also an important reason why he has won the support of the people.But as far as the present is concerned, Chen Kangjie, an economic powerhouse, has not found any signs of economic recovery in Russia, and he has carefully observed that the Russian economy not only shows no signs of recovery, but also lacks the conditions for rapid economic growth.

This is not nonsense, the conditions and means of economic development are nothing more than a few, scientific and technological progress, capital investment, and market expansion.That is, investment-driven or market-driven, if you have advanced product technology, you can attract investment and create a market.However, although Russia's scientific and technological strength is not considered backward, its technological strength is basically concentrated in the military field, and it is generally good in the civilian market. Even in military technology, Russia is still relying on its old capital, and there is no obvious breakthrough in innovation.Funds, Russia’s national treasury is now empty. By the end of last year, there were only 100 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and tax revenues were not as good as each year. oligarch.Besides the market, years of planned economy and abnormal development of military industry have resulted in stagnant living standards and low purchasing power of the people.This greatly reduces the potential of the market. Besides, Russia's own population is only half that of the United States, which makes it difficult for Russia to form a strong consumer market.Although Russia is rich in resources, almost every country that relies on resources to get rich is manipulated by others. Just look at the rich oil-producing countries in the Middle East. It can't become wealth. Iran and Iran are typical examples. Both countries are rich in oil and natural gas, but these two countries don't look rich at all.The reason is that they do not have the backing of Western powers.As far as Russia is concerned, it has always regarded itself as a world power, and it is somewhat impossible for it to rely on Western powers. It does not conform to their political pursuits, nor does it conform to the self-esteem of the nation.What's more, Russia has already tried. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it has been trying to maintain good relations with the West in order to restore economic prosperity. among.

Thinking of Ivan and Russia, Chen Kangjie thought of his trip to the Soviet Union ten years ago. At that time, he was only half a child, but he was rewarded with a rewarding trip.At present, there are still several oil fields in Siberia under Chen Kangjie's name, but the scale of exploitation is not large.This is not to say that Chen Kangjie does not want to or is not capable of large-scale mining, but that the current Russian policy is still unstable, and his oil fields were bought at that chaotic time, and may be taken back at any time.Therefore, the oil stored by Chen Kangjie is still mainly imported from the Middle East.Chen Kangjie knew that the oligarchs were very happy now, but when Ivan came to power, their good days would come to an end. They either went into exile or were arrested, and the rich assets they stole were also taken back by the government.

Now his subordinates actually know Ivan, which really did not occur to Chen Kangjie.Judging from Samidov's expression, their relationship should be more than simple acquaintance. If it is just an ordinary acquaintance relationship, Samidov does not need to "rob the road" so seriously.Thinking that Ivan used to work in the KGB, and Samidov and the others were also members of the KGB, Chen Kangjie understood what was going on.Besides, when Samidov and the others told Chen Kangjie why they left the Soviet Union, Chen Kangjie had doubts, but it was not convenient for him to ask.

Chen Kangjie shook his head, trying to clear his mind as much as possible, and break away from the sudden news. He still has a lot to learn. He hoped that this subordinate who had followed him for ten years would not deceive him.

"Back then in Moscow, it was Vladimir Ivan who covered you from leaving?" Chen Kangjie asked speculatively after gathering his composure.

Samidov raised his head with surprise in his eyes, "Jie Shao? So you know everything?"

"I'm guessing, but it's not too difficult. Although I haven't met your friend, I know that he, like you, once worked in the KGB. Have you met him?" Chen Kangjie said calmly. .

"Well, I have." Samidov nodded, "I recognized him in front of the Russian embassy in the south, and I was so excited that he recognized me. Back then, if there was no Help, the four of us can't get out of the border at all, maybe, we don't know where we died now." Samidov said with hazy eyes, perhaps thinking of the unpleasant experience back then, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

"I remember I asked you when we first met. At that time, you told me that even if I were your boss in the future, you would not tell me for his safety. Then why did you tell me again today? What about me?" After asking, Chen Kangjie took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box on the small table, handed one to Samidov, and kept holding it by himself.

Samidov took the cigarette, quickly took out the lighter and lit it for Chen Kangjie, then lit his own and took a big puff.

Perhaps it was the nicotine in the cigarette that calmed the mind. After taking two puffs, Samidov calmed down completely, "We didn't intend to tell you before, but we have been together for ten years. In the past ten years, you You have always been very kind to us, trusting us, giving us everything, and allowing our family to live a life that was impossible before. If we used to treat you as the boss for the sake of making a living, now our hearts In the middle, I have been truly convinced by you. In the future, we will have no other choice but to follow you, so I don’t think we should hide it from you. Now we have a new identity and a new job , a new life, and Ivan is not the same Ivan as before, Yeltsin thinks highly of him now, we believe in you, as long as you don’t tell what happened back then, his safety will be no problem at all. You are giving us everything My boss, he is the boss we respected and helped us a lot, and the purpose of your coming to the Southland is exactly the same, we are really in a dilemma, so I can only tell you the truth, according to your ingenuity, We think you should have a way to resolve it."

"Hehe, you really think highly of me." Chen Kangjie smiled self-deprecatingly, and took a puff of cigarette, "Are you planning to go back to Russia in the future?"

"No, no, that's impossible. I can't go back. The former Samidov is dead. If we go back, it's a risk for us, and it's a risk for Ivan. What's more, what are we going to do? Is it impossible to go to the KGB again? Our lives have undergone tremendous changes. To be honest, if we go back again, not to mention that our family is not used to it, maybe none of us are used to it. As I said just now, we can only follow You, you have no other choice." Samidov waved his hand quickly and said.

Chen Kangjie believed that what Samidov said was true, not to mention that Yeltsin had not stepped down yet, even if he had stepped down, if he found out, Samidov and the others would have no choice but to die.Besides, they follow Chen Kangjie, they get generous salary every year, they have a big house in Hong Kong, their children go to good noble schools, their parents take care of them easily, and they have Filipino maids at home. It is really not good for them to give up all these Easy, that is, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Moreover, they no longer had legal identities in Russia. Even if Ivan used means and power to get them new legal identities, it would be difficult for them to integrate into their previous lives.Regarding these, it seems that Samidov still thinks clearly.

This time Samidov met Chen Kangjie in advance and told him all this. His purpose was to prevent conflicts between him and Ivan. No matter which party's interests were damaged, that was what he did not want to see.Even though they have received special training before, after ten years of ordinary life, the human nature in their hearts has become much stronger.What's more, both Chen Kangjie and Iwan have great kindness to Samidov and the others. He can't just bite his conscience and watch the two of them fight.

From yesterday to today, Samidov has been suffering, and it is difficult for him to make a choice.As a result, he discussed repeatedly with his three good brothers all night, and finally a word from Alyosha helped them make a decision.Alyosha said that Chen Kangjie was to handle this matter. They believed in Chen Kangjie's character and wisdom, and they could handle this matter well.

"Okay, since you don't plan to go back, that's good, just continue to follow me. By the way, you have already met, did you tell him everything about me?" Chen Kangjie stood up and patted Sami Dove's shoulder, took a step away, stopped and asked.

"That's not true. The time we met was very short, only half an hour. Before we could believe and talk too much, he was called away by the people from the Russian embassy. He only knew that we were bodyguards for you... and that The purpose of your trip." At this point, Samidov stood up excitedly, and his voice raised a bit, "I have to tell him this, otherwise there is no way to explain why the four of us appeared in the war-torn southern country .”
