Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 451 Meeting at the Bolshoi Theater

Ling Shaonan did not take the initiative to contact the Russian government. Ling Shaonan had his own considerations - the meanings of going to the door by himself and letting others come to him are completely different. To put it bluntly, he wants the Russians to come to ask Only by myself, so that I can take the full initiative!

Of course, Yeltsin was not a fool. As a political strongman who single-handedly sent the Soviet Union to its grave, if he couldn't even see this, he wouldn't be worthy of this position. ∑飞㊣ ≥So, even though the situation was stronger than others, he didn't let go of his face immediately. Instead, he waited for a few days after receiving Kiriyenko's report, and didn't take any action until September 9th.Moreover, this action was not a formal invitation to Ling Shaonan for a business meeting, but a gift of two tickets to the Bolshoi Theater for him.

""Ivan Susanin"? That's right, Yeltsin really took great pains in choosing this play!" After carefully looking at the tickets in his hand, the corners of Ling Shaonan's mouth curled up.

"Ivan Susanin", formerly known as "Devotion to the Tsar", tells the story of a peasant named Ivan Susanin leading the invading army into a deserted forest during the Polish invasion of Russia in 1613 Stories of freezing to death and starving to death.The subtext of Yeltsin's choice of this play is to tell Ling Shaonan that although Russia's economy is bad now, the Russians have not surrendered, and they will use all means to resist all aggressors, including economic aggression, for which they will not hesitate to pay own life!

"Yeltsin is a very strong man with a strong hand, otherwise he would not have achieved what he is today. However, no matter how aggressive a lion is, he will grow old. His teeth are almost falling out, and Russia's current economic situation is even worse. It became the last straw that crushed his pride, and now he is just trying to maintain his dignity!" Dalia said bluntly.

"Hehe, from a personal point of view, I still have great respect for President Yeltsin. That's good! Dalia, please help me reply to the Russian President's Office and accept President Yeltsin's invitation. Then you will go with me! "

…………

At six o'clock in the evening on September 9th, Ling Shaonan brought Dalia to the gate of the Bolshoi Theater on time, and they were greeted by a deputy director of the President's Office.Dalia felt a little dissatisfied with this. She felt that with Ling Shaonan's status, even if Yeltsin didn't come out to greet Yeltsin himself, at least he should send a heavyweight person. However, Ling Shaonan himself had no objection to this. Because he recognized the man who had come to greet him—Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev.

Medvedev is a political strongman. He met Putin in St. Petersburg and soon became very good friends.In the original history, Medvedev should follow Putin's footsteps into the Russian Federation Government next year and serve as the Deputy Director of the Government Office, and then serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom, the Director of the President's Office, and the First President of the Russian Federation Government. The positions of Deputy Prime Minister, President of Russia and Prime Minister of Russia, together with Putin, constitute the highest level of power in the government of the Russian Federation.

However, all these established trajectories have changed with the assassination of Putin at the beginning of last year.

When Putin was assassinated and died, Yeltsin, who had gradually turned his attention to him and was determined to train him as his successor, was hit hard. He began to feel confused about the future of Russia, not knowing where the road ahead was. In this case, he had to find a new spiritual sustenance for himself. Therefore, Medvedev, who Putin mentioned in front of him many times before his death and gave him high praise, came into his sight.

However, Medvedev is too young, only 33 years old this year, and has almost no political experience. The deputy director of the President's Office is going to train him up slowly. (Russia's current situation is very bad. Originally, according to the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times, Yeltsin also considered pushing Medvedev to the top, but he was a little disappointed by the equally young Prime Minister Kiriyenko, and he dared not take such a risk again. big risk.)

…………

Under Medvedev's guidance, Ling Shaonan and Dalia entered a box that was heavily guarded and protected by more than a dozen burly men. The decoration here is not luxurious, but it is very grand and has a strong Russian style. And judging from the door and walls, this place should have just been decorated.However, Ling Shaonan had never been here before, so he didn't know if this box was just renovated, or it was set up for this meeting at all.

The moment he entered, Ling Shaonan swept his eyes and took a panoramic view of this small box: except for the door side, the other three sides were enclosed walls, but the wall facing the stage was somewhat different from the other walls. Not the same, it should be movable, and it will be removed after the performance starts.In addition, the layout inside the box is relatively simple, only a long strip, and a few sofas for one person, surrounded by a coffee table with several bottles of wine and some fruits on three sides, and nothing else .

"Mr. Ling, you and your team are welcome to visit Russia. I hope you will have a wonderful time here!" There were four people in the box: Russian President Yeltsin, a woman in her 30s, and two teenagers. How old is she, she looks pink and jade-carved, and she is a little girl who can be recognized as the embryo of a beauty at a glance.As Medvedev closed the door behind him, Yeltsin, who was chatting on the sofa, immediately stood up and extended his right hand to Ling Shaonan.

Yeltsin is a very tall man, his height is 1.8 meters 1.64, which is almost the tallest among the many leaders of Russia and the former Soviet Union. (Lenin was 1.6 meters tall, and the high-ranking Soviet Russians around him were generally less than 1.62 meters tall, while Stalin and Khrushchev were 1.66 meters and 1.76 meters tall respectively. Compared with them, the 1.75-meter Brezhnev can almost be regarded as A giant, as for the last general secretary of Soviet Russia Gorbachev, the height is 1.88 meters. Perhaps, the height of [-] meters is also a great help for Yeltsin to reach the peak of power, because, tall and straight figure, calm The pace, majestic expression and generous gestures can undoubtedly perfectly reflect the image of the "Russian Bear", and this is exactly what the Soviets hoped to see in a state of confusion at the time.)

Of course, Yeltsin couldn't find any sense of superiority in front of Ling Shaonan with this kind of advantage.Although he was two centimeters shorter than him, Ling Shaonan's body was taller and straighter, and his aura was not weak at all, and his vigorous vigor was beyond the reach of Yeltsin, who was getting old.

"Your Excellency, President, can take precious time out of his busy schedule to meet me, a small businessman. I am deeply honored for this, and I would like to extend my highest respect to you!" Very humble, which undoubtedly gave Yeltsin a lot of face and greatly satisfied his vanity.

"Mr. Ling is too polite! Come, let me introduce you." Yeltsin shook hands vigorously again, and Yeltsin turned around, pointing to a woman in her 30s beside him.However, before he finished speaking, Ling Shaonan took it with a smile: "Don't bother Your Excellency, if I guess correctly, this sexy and charming lady should be your favorite little daughter, Miss Tatyana Hello, Miss Tatiana, it is my honor to see her beautiful face!"

As he spoke, Ling Shaonan took a step forward, bowed slightly, took Tatyana's right hand and kissed it lightly according to western etiquette, which made Tatyana smile: "Dear boss, you are too kind, to have you as young and handsome, and at the same time It should be said that it is my honor to be a boss full of aristocratic demeanor!"

Tatiana called Ling Shaonan the boss, which may sound unbelievable, but it is actually not surprising—the Ling International Bank established by Li Yunqing for Ling Shaonan acquired several banks in Russia, and merged and reorganized them into a new "" Bank of Russia", and in this bank, Tatiana owns [-]% of the shares!Of course, this cannot be announced publicly, but there are no outsiders in the box now, so Tatyana doesn't need to avoid it.

"Oh, Miss Tatyana, this address of yours really makes me sad. In fact, I prefer to hear you call me by my name!" To be honest, Ling Shaonan felt goosebumps all over his body when he said such words , but there is no way, the Russians just eat this.In order to divert the topic, he quickly turned to Yeltsin again, and said with a smile: "I already know your deputy director of the office, Mr. Medvedev, but forgive me, the names of these two lovely little girls I am familiar with." I don’t know, could you please introduce me, Your Excellency the President?”

"They..." Speaking of these two little girls, Yeltsin's face immediately flashed a trace of sadness, and even Medvedev also showed a very sad look, which made Ling Shaonan a little puzzled.However, Yeltsin immediately answered the doubts in his heart: "They are two sisters, the elder sister is Maria, and the younger sister is Yekaterina. Their father is my former deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Administration, Vladimir Putin."

Yeltsin's introduction made Ling Shaonan's heart skip a beat, and his eyes changed slightly, but this change was very slight, and he concealed it very little, so Yeltsin, who was immersed in his sorrow, didn't notice it, but continued to say: " At the beginning of last year, Vladimir was assassinated shamefully and unfortunately died, leaving behind the sisters and their mother. Dmitri was a good friend of Vladimir during his lifetime, and he couldn't bear to see them orphaned and widowed If we continue to live, we will adopt these two children as righteous daughters."
