Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1019 Chicken Soup for the Soul
Zofsky, who was sitting in the living room chatting with his colleagues, saw Jiang Yan and his son come in. He stood up happily, walked forward to hug Jiang Yan and spoke.

"Oh, my dear child, welcome again to Moscow."

"Thank you, teacher. Are you in good health?" Jiang Yan hugged his teacher and spoke.

"Not bad, you can live at least another ten years." The teacher said jokingly, and then told his wife to pour tea.

"Who is this?" Jiang Yan asked when he saw a person sitting on the chair next to the teacher.

"Oh, this is also my student, Arov. He is a few years younger than you and can be considered your junior. Today he came to ask me some questions about automation equipment."

"Arov, this is Nikita from the flower-growing family, and he is also your senior."

"Hello, senior. My name is Boris Arov. You can call me Arov."

After hearing his self-introduction, Jiang Yan looked at the man carefully, and then his head was confused. Jiang Yan was too familiar with this man.

This person was one of the most powerful financial oligarchs in later generations of Russia. At his peak, he controlled a lot of wealth.

However, seeing that he would become a financial oligarch in the future, Jiang Yan just wanted to laugh. Arov was in his forties at this time, with not much hair on his head, which was greasy and limp. He hadn't washed it for many days, and his clothes had turned white from washing and were about to melt.

Don't underestimate this unprepossessing man. He joined the All-Russian Automobile Union in 1989 and was responsible for the management of automobile imports and exports.

However, honest work obviously could not bring Arov the benefits he wanted, so Arov took a different approach and began to use his power to become a middleman.

At that time, the Russian bear was already in decline, and its own industrial system became fragile under the economic decline, and it could not produce cars that were sufficiently competitive in the market. Taking this opportunity, Arov purchased Lada cars from West Germany at a value of $4800 each, and then sold them for $7500.

As a result, each car can bring Arov about 1/3 of net profit.

In addition, Arov also took advantage of the inflation period that made the Russian people feel very painful. If you want to buy a car from him, you must pay a deposit first. Under the influence of inflation, the Russian ruble is depreciating every day. As long as the deposit is delivered to the factory a few months later, Arov can get half of the profit from each car.

To put it bluntly, what Arov did in the Russian automobile industry was utterly unscrupulous. He took advantage of the pain of the country and the people to make a fortune for himself. He even started trading in overseas luxury cars and evaded a large amount of customs duties.

However, business is not Arov's greatest ability, politics is.

Arov later served as a government industrial policy adviser, deputy secretary of the Federal Security Council, and member of the State Duma. In 1996, US presidential candidate Bob Dole called Arov the red godfather of the Kremlin.

When Arov was at his most powerful, he could easily decide the fate of a Russian prime minister together with other oligarchs. Of course, such financial oligarchs brought great harm to the later Russians. Otherwise, the presidents of later Russians would not have dealt with them.

Jiang Yan did not stay too much time with Teacher Mao Xiong. After chatting about the past and giving the things he brought to the teacher, he left.

Jiang Yan didn't want to stay here too long. After all, he was still a confidential scientific researcher. The Russian bear had not yet disintegrated, so he had to be careful with everything. It would be next year before he could show his talents, and naturally he would have to use all the connections of his teacher.

Arov also left with Jiang Yan. When the teacher asked Jiang Yan what he was doing, he said that he was coming to the company from China and brought a batch of goods to Moscow for sale. Jiang Yan noticed that this guy's eyes lit up and he spoke to Jiang Yan in a polite tone. Jiang Yan knew what he was thinking. However, the reason why Jiang Yan said so much to the teacher was actually to attract his attention. Let's not talk about right or wrong. This guy's business sense is indeed much more sensitive. He can't stay here for a long time, so it's the best thing to get a white glove here.

If there is something going on, he will take the lead and he will retreat behind the scenes. He will earn a lot of money and if something goes wrong, he can also completely clear himself of all responsibility without affecting his great and glorious image. He can even act like a saint and buy some benefits from the Mao Bears.

Thinking about his later plans, Jiang Yan couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. However, the plan was still a little rough, and he needed to think about it more to see how to make it more perfect.

Making a fortune silently is the way to go.

"Junior, there is something going on." After leaving the teacher's door, Jiang Yan looked at Arov and spoke.

However, in Arov's opinion, his senior's eyes were very sharp, as if he was seen through by him. But thinking about his current situation, he encouraged himself in his heart, then put on a smile and spoke to Jiang Yan.

"Senior, what the teacher said before was not quite accurate. First of all, I am an applied mathematician in economics. I have published several weighty articles in important journals of the Russian Federation. Now I use data to simulate an economic model suitable for the Russian Federation's automobile alliance."

To be honest, he still felt quite heartbroken when he took this out.

This economic model is the result of his painstaking research over the past two years.

His research results revealed all the business secrets of the entire bear country's automobile industry.

From the production of parts to the manufacturing of complete vehicles and even sales, all have been studied in detail. He is very sure that with his model, no matter who it is, they can gain huge benefits here.

He felt very sad to take it out, after all, it was his hard work. However, as a qualified businessman, he knew that he did not have much capital and this was his only trump card.

"To be honest, I'm not interested in your car model. Maybe you don't know that I have a car factory in Zhonghua's country. The BMW series cars produced by it are in short supply. So, I have no interest in doing this business in Russia." Jiang Yan looked at him and spoke lightly.

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Arov was stunned at first, then his expression became bitter. A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"But compared to your model of the Automobile Alliance, I am more interested in yours." Jiang Yan saw that he looked a little depressed, and then spoke.

"Why?" Arov asked.

"Because I see unwillingness and ambition in your eyes." Jiang Yan said lightly.

"Also, I can't stay here for a long time. After all, my main business is still in the flower-growing family, so I want to find a qualified manager in Maoxiong to be in charge of the business here."

"Of course, I also looked for a few, but none of them were qualified. To be more precise, they were too conservative. But today I met you. After all, we have a teacher-student relationship, right!" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
