Start from 1980

Chapter 1048 Let's Plan

Who is Leonid Kuchma?

At this time, the general manager of the Southern Machinery Factory.

From October 1992 to September 10, he was to serve as Prime Minister of Ukraine.

In July 1994, he was elected president.

Wait until November 1999 to be re-elected president.

At the beginning, Su Chen gave Zhao Dong the list and asked him to get in touch with this person.

Kuchma is a technical cadre with a background in missile development, but he is also a political representative of the oligarchs in eastern Ukraine.

And Yulia's "teacher" Lazarenko was promoted by Kumach, but it's a pity that Lazarenko had too much appetite and greed, and finally defected to the United States.

But in Su Chen's plan, Lazarenko and Kumach cannot be absent.

"Mr. Kumach, this is our Chinese economist, Mr. Su Chen, who is also an internationally renowned economist." Zhao Donglai introduced.

Kumach nodded: "I know this young scholar, a talent who also comes from a big socialist family."

Then he stretched out his hand to Su Chen: "Mr. Su, hello, I'm Kumach, the general manager of the Southern Machinery Factory."

"Mr. Kumach, hello, nice to meet you." Su Chen briefly introduced, "My colleague Mr. Zhao Donglai, you already know each other, so I won't introduce you.

This is my student, Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko, who was born in the great city of Dnepropetrovsk.

This is my secretary, assistant, and my bodyguard..."

Kumaqi simply greeted everyone.

Su Chen invited him to drink coffee, but didn't talk directly about the matter.

Because Ukraine is not yet independent.

Even if you want something from someone else, it's impossible to just cut to the chase.

So the purpose of coming today is to leave a good impression on Kumach first. When he wants to sell those family properties, the first thing he thinks of is this country that also comes from the socialist camp.

This made Kumach a little puzzled.

Straight to the point and asked: "Mr. Su, are you planning to come to Dnepropetrovsk State University for an exchange visit? If so, it's a pity that I can only introduce you. Although I am also an alumnus of this university, I It's just physics."

That's right, this is the Ukrainian rocket expert.

Or Soviet rocket scientists.

A very awesome character.

His status in Ukrainian politics is comparable to that of Russia's "Father of the Nation", Ye Litsin, because he single-handedly formulated the Ukrainian constitution.

But the most important factor that made Ukraine's good cards so bad was actually some decisions made during Kuchma's rule.

Su Chen smiled, "I don't have the idea of ​​doing an exchange visit for the time being, I just want to simply visit Mr. Kumach, because you are only an expert in the field of rocketry."

"My expert in the field of rockets is not comparable to your Chinese Mr. Qian." Kumach said with a smile, "Your Mr. Qian is really a well-known international expert. After all, the Americans said that he can compare with 5 teacher."

After a simple opening statement.

Kumach added: "Mr. Su, I have read your works, but they are basically based on the Western capitalist economy. I would like to ask, how do you view the economy of our camp?"

Su Chen shook his head: "The economies of the two doctrines are different, but in the final analysis, we are not on the same path as this side, so my theory cannot be used as a solution to the problem, but the current economy here It's a mess that's hard to explain and look at."

He didn't answer Kumach's question directly.

Because Kumach will be the president next, if I call him first, and the world blames me for the collapse of the economy here, then I won’t be able to hit the fox and make a fuss.

"Yeah, the economy here is indeed a mess." Kumach also agreed with his statement, "And I have a hunch that within two years, our side may become independent."

Su Chen smiled, "This is an unpredictable thing, because many things can't be judged by the dialogue between you and me."

"You are a bit dishonest." Kumach laughed. "People in Europe and the United States really regard you as an oriental wizard. You didn't answer my question directly, which shows that you still have reservations about me."

Su Chen also smiled, "I never make such short-term predictions, because it will affect my reputation as an Eastern wizard."

Then he changed the topic and said: "I believe Mr. Kumaji, you know that besides being a scholar, I am also a businessman, so this time I have some business and want to talk to you."

"What kind of business?" Kumach shrugged, "If you want to buy products made by the Southern Machinery Factory, it may be very difficult, because these are military industrial enterprises, I think you can't bear it personally, unless you come here on behalf of your country. "

"I'm just representing myself." Su Chen waved Zhao Donglai and others to leave.

Seeing this, Kumach also looked serious. Since he dismissed all these people, it means that he has something very important to discuss with him.

"Mr. Kumach, you said just now that Ukraine will become independent within a year or two. In fact, I agree with you." Su Chen said, "So I came here today to make a political investment."

"Political investment?" Kumach is not a kind person, and he immediately heard the meaning of Su Chen's words, "Mr. Su, continue."

"If the Soviet Union really disintegrates, I will invest in you to represent the Dnipropetrovsk state to run for the people's councilor, or even the parliamentary defense committee." Su Chen didn't hide any more, and said: "I will sponsor you 1 million US dollars campaign finance."

The disintegration of the Soviet Union has become the consensus of many people.

Talking about this now is not about cursing Big Brother.

Anyone with a normal head has probably encountered this result.

It's just that everyone doesn't know the exact time.

So now Su Chen is not prophesying.

Kumach frowned slightly, "Mr. Su, I think you are bribing a state official."

"1.2 million US dollars." Su Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, because Kumach was originally one of the several important oligarchs in this country.

When Ukraine became independent, those who controlled Ukrainian wealth became the oligarchs of this country.

"Mr. Su, you are using money to stain my soul." Kumach's face darkened, "If I knew you were such a person, I would not have communicated with you just now."

"$1.5 million."

"What do I need to do for you?" Kumach changed the subject.

His weakness has been successfully challenged.

Su Chen said, "I will develop the natural gas business in this country next. If you succeed in the election, I hope you can transfer the state-run natural gas projects to private enterprises.

Only in this way can it provide the main source of economic development and wealth growth for this country.

This is not only to help me develop my company, but also for the policy of this country.

And I don't do anything against the country, so I think it's a twofold thing. "

"This..." Kumach didn't answer in a hurry, and after about 3 minutes, he said, "Mr. Su, I think this will violate my principles."

"1 million US dollars activity fund in one year."

Kumach was also taken aback by Su Chen's wealth.

Damn it, is this guy really from a socialist country with the same fellow sufferers?

He felt that he could not pass this test.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's make a plan..."
