The Era of Emerald

After hearing what Abramovich said, Zhuang Mingge began to search for the relevant memories of the 1996 Russian general election in his mind: In the end, Yeltsin won the general election without a doubt, but the process of winning was extremely thrilling. The presidential election is also the most fiercely contested.

Abramovich told him that in the election of the Russian Duma (that is, Russia's parliament) at the beginning of the year, the party of Prime Minister Chernomyrdin supported by Yeltsin suffered a disastrous defeat in the election, while other parties such as the Russian Communist Party, in zhu The Communist Party and other parties have won wide popular support. This has made Yeltsin, who used to be said to be covering the sky with his hands in Russia, not at all sure whether he can win the presidential election next year.

Such a situation has made the Russian oligarchs who are inextricably linked with Yeltsin very anxious. At this time, they are trying their best to contact all available contacts and resources for Yeltsin's benefit. Fight for votes.

"Roman, why is Mr. Berezovsky looking for me? I'm not a Russian citizen, and I don't have any property in Russia. I can't get votes." Zhuang Mingge asked Abu with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, how could I know what Mr. Boris thinks." Abu took a sip of vodka lightly and said with a smile.

Zhuang Mingge looked at Abu who made an expression of "I don't know anything" in front of him, and felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that Abu now has such profound knowledge and wisdom. , anyway, no one else has evidence to prove that he knows anything...

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the entrance of the hall, and the guests who were chatting and laughing at the banquet turned their eyes there one after another.

I saw that, surrounded by a large group of bodyguards, Boris Berezovsky, one of the initiators of this banquet, appeared on the stage!

Born in 1946, Boris Berezovsky was the most legendary among the seven Russian oligarchs in the Yeltsin era.Compared with the other financial oligarchs, Berezovsky, who debuted the earliest, did not start his family history like the others, taking advantage of the loopholes of the former Soviet Union’s reform of the country’s economic system in the late 80s , Through opportunism, buying and selling, and cannibalizing state-owned assets, the accumulation of primitive capital was completed.

Berezovsky's first pot of gold came from the field of applied mathematics, and his original identity was a well-known professor in the field of applied mathematics, and he even served as the management of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.Later, during the turbulent period of the former Soviet Union, he turned to business. First, he accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in assets by reselling cars. Later, he gradually integrated multiple identities such as car owner, financial tycoon, media tycoon, and political high-ranking officer.

The appearance of Berezovsky attracted the attention of many guests in the hall, not only because of the huge wealth and power he had accumulated in just a few years, but also because Berezovsky Ren is one of the core figures in the current Russian President Yeltsin's campaign team. All people or groups who want to gain some benefits in the next government will naturally pay attention to this tycoon who has a close relationship with Yeltsin.

Seeing that Berezovsky had arrived, Abramovich, as his assistant, couldn't continue chatting with Zhuang Mingge here. After saying "Sorry, I'll go there first", he sorted himself out The image of Berezovsky quickly walked over to where Berezovsky was.

Zhuang Minge saw Abu in Berezovsky's ear and whispered something softly.Berezovsky, who received the assistant's report, also nodded slowly, and walked towards Zhuang Mingge's position under the gaze of everyone present.

"Hello, Chairman Antonio Corleone, I'm Boris Berezovsky. I'm very glad that you came from Italy this time. On behalf of myself, I would like to welcome you to Moscow!" Berezovsky said. At this time, Zovsky still retains some of the scholarly demeanor he had when he worked at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. With some baldness, he does not look like a financial predator, but more like a professor who dedicated himself to the cause of science.

"It's a great honor to meet you here, Mr. Berezovsky." Zhuang Mingge extended his right hand, shook hands with the other party, and said, "As for your invitation, I don't think anyone will be ignorant Reject it?"

"Hehe, you can really talk, Chairman Corleone." Berezovsky laughed when Zhuang Mingge said this, and said, "I think back then, when I was your age, I was not as rich as you. , It really is a boy born from a hero since ancient times."

"Haha, you are ridiculous."

The two then exchanged some polite words, and Berezovsky left here.

However, before leaving from Zhuang Minge, Berezovsky secretly gave Abu a wink, and the shrewd Abramovich immediately understood.

When Berezovsky was giving a passionate speech in the hall, Abu quietly appeared beside Zhuang Mingge and said, "Antonio."

Zhuang Mingge, who was listening to the speech, suddenly heard a voice coming from beside him. He was so frightened that he almost spilled the drink in his hand on the ground. After finally calming down his mood, he said to the elusive Abu with some dissatisfaction: "I Speaking of Roman, if you have something to say, just say no, how can you intentionally scare me?"

"..." Abramovich decisively ignored Zhuang Mingge's dissatisfaction, and whispered, "Mr. Berezovsky wants to invite you to a small party in the small hall next to him after the speech."

"Oh?" Zhuang Mingge knew that inviting himself to another party was obviously the financial tycoon wanting to make some deal with him.If I can take this opportunity to make friends with that gentleman, then this will be the best opportunity for me to gain a foothold in Russia, and of course I cannot let it go easily, "Please tell Mr. Berezovsky that he can attend his private meeting. It is my honor to meet up."

"Okay, after Mr. Boris's speech is over, please come with me, Miss Karin, I have a pass here." Abu blinked and said, "Otherwise, before we get close to that If you open the door, you will be stopped by the security guards."

"Uh, ok." What is this going to do, need to be so mysterious?Zhuang Mingge was a little puzzled, but soon relieved, not to mention Russia, where social security is quite poor, even in those Western countries, there are always various security measures around these important people.

ps: I seemed to have a cold last night and said...
