Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1139 Asking for help
"Except for Kadanfu, none of you are really good actors. Please tell me what you need me to do. We are friends." Although the two of them went around in circles, he had already vaguely grasped their thoughts.

"Jiang, how did you know that?" Kadanfu asked.

"All of you are here, and you're putting on a sad show like this. It would be strange if you don't have anything for me to do!" Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at them.

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dear Jiang, thank you! We and the people of Damao will remember your friendship and help."

Looking at Gaidar and Chubais, with their young and immature faces, Jiang Yan suddenly didn't know what to say. No wonder Luzhkov and Kadanev looked down on Gaidar and Chubais all day long. The two might be qualified economists, but they are definitely not qualified politicians now.

Thirty-somethings are still too young to be in the big melting pot of politics. They need to soak in it for several years and experience ups and downs before they can become real politicians. They are not yet.

Even the old fox Kadankov is not as powerful as Luzhkov, who served four presidents and ruled for 18 years before falling. He was the long-time third-in-command of Mao Zedong. He is a man who is more cunning than monkeys. Even if he sells you out, you will probably have to count money for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan was glad that he was a Chinese. He didn't need to play so many tricks on them. At worst, he could just pat his butt and leave. As for the properties here, he could just let them confiscate them. They wouldn't dare to do that without a legitimate reason.

I have a little influence in my country and other countries, and if they fail to handle it properly, it will become an international dispute.

In addition, our flower-growing family now has a huge production capacity of light industrial products, which is urgently needed by Russia or Moscow. Even if our flower-growing family is needed for a long time and offends us, then just wait!
"Okay, stop shouting slogans. I don't know whether the people of Mao are grateful to me or not. As long as you and the higher-ups don't forget my contributions and hard work, it's fine. We are all friends and can talk openly." Jiang Yan interrupted them and spoke.

"I think we need a large-scale reform breakthrough at the moment, and we have to start from reality. Only by discovering problems can we improve them. After all, things on paper have great flaws."

"You also know that the purpose of our reform is to break the stagnation of the previous Russian bear and distribute as much property as possible to the people and to some effective private owners. As the President said, what we need are millions of owners, not millions of rich people! Only with these core economic leaders can we change the current Russian economy."

"Then tell me what you are going to do, or what kind of help do you need from me. I will not refuse as long as it is something I can do." Jiang Yan didn't want to listen to their long debate, so he spoke directly.

To be honest, I have been in charge for so many years, and what I hate most is holding meetings. Even if I have to preside over a meeting myself, I will be straightforward. So now all my companies have learned my style, which is brief and concise.

They kept talking to him about boring political stuff. It would be better for him to go back to the hotel and rest. "What we mean is that we should learn from those Western countries and conduct auctions to a certain extent. Through competitive auctions, we can auction assets for cash. In this way, we can maximize the value of state-owned assets and ensure that these assets will be handed over to someone who is capable of managing them. In addition, this will be both open and competitive."

"WT." Jiang Yan had a head full of question marks. Who was the smart guy who gave them this idea? This thing was not an antique or some goods. It was the operating rights, the operating rights of a factory or a company.

Let's not talk about the fact that the Russians have talented people now. Even if they have so much money, this thing will not fall into the hands of those Europeans and Americans with strong capital. Aren't you afraid of collusion? No wonder the stock prices of these high-quality factories left by the Russians are at the bottom this time. It is probably because of this reason.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's expression suddenly became a little amused. Their idea was really a bit naive.

Without noticing Jiang Yan's expression, Gaidar continued, "But reform cannot be achieved overnight. We decided to start with the small-scale privatization of bakeries, barber shops and other businesses."

Jiang Yan nodded gently. Starting from a young age and taking it slow is the proper way to reform. This is also the only useful thing Jiang Yan heard today.

"You are a businessman, and you understand a lot of things here. What we mean is that we want to ask for your help, to participate in the competition of these stores and run them well."

Jiang Yan looked at the two of them expressionlessly, neither shaking his head nor nodding. To be honest, these things were just tiny profits, and Jiang Yan looked down on them. Moreover, Jiang Yan felt that this so-called auction, was there any fairness and competitiveness?
Originally, he didn't think highly of the two people's ideas, thinking they were naive. Now there is such a shady operation going on. Isn't this funny?
Jiang Yan suddenly understood why most of Damao's assets in his previous life ended up in the hands of the oligarchs. Given their series of naive actions, it would be strange if Damao's assets didn't end up in the hands of a wealthy man like him.

As for whether he should get a piece of the pie, that is a problem. Jiang Yan is not interested in the land, but the energy. You know, even in the era when Jiang Yan traveled through, various new energy sources have replaced traditional energy, and many wars have broken out over oil.

Moreover, although our country has several world-class oil fields, energy, especially natural gas and oil, is always a big problem.

Although China is a vast country with abundant natural resources and mineral resources, as a traditional important energy source, oil and natural gas, like other countries in the world, play a pivotal role in the country's energy structure and energy consumption.

According to public data (2019 data), my country's proven oil reserves are about 47 billion tons, ranking 13th in the world; proven natural gas reserves are about 6.6 trillion cubic meters, ranking 4th in the world. In addition, my country also has relatively rich coalbed methane and shale gas resources. In theory, these traditional fossil energy sources are among the highest in the world in terms of total reserves and recoverable amounts in my country, and should be able to meet domestic production and living needs. In fact, my country still needs to import nearly 5 million tons of oil and 1 trillion tons of natural gas from abroad every year.

my country has rich reserves of oil and gas resources, but many of them are deep-seated mineral resources that are difficult to exploit. Moreover, the areas where larger oil and gas resources are located are generally located in relatively remote areas. Whether it is exploration, mining or transportation, the cost is very high. If calculated in this way, the comprehensive cost is much higher than other high-yield oil and gas areas. In this case, importing relatively cheap oil and gas resources from abroad is more cost-effective.
