Text 507 Problems with Russia¡¯s economic recovery

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Putin knows that he actually has no choice. If he wants to be president, he has to cooperate with the Chinese.  Even if being on the line with the United States can play a certain role in checking and balancing, in fact the Americans can do too little for him, while the Chinese can do too much.

    "Mr. Liao, I am very grateful to my Chinese friends for their support and help, but I also firmly believe that there is no free love in the world, and there is no free lunch. In contrast, what does China want?" Putin looked at him  He looked at Liao Huairen with a burning gaze and asked rather stiffly.

    ¡°He is a person with quite a nationalistic complex. It is not easy for him to do anything to sell out the interests of the country.  Qi Yiming also saw this clearly, so he considered a lot of conditions to make him accept it and at the same time benefit China.

    Liao Huairen laughed, saw Putin's intention, and said: "Actually, what we need is not excessive. The first and most important thing is the healthy development and goodwill and friendship of China-Russia relations. I will not use those diplomatic rhetoric. We  We hope that Russia can give more consideration to China¡¯s opinions on many international issues. Of course, we also believe that Russia has its own national interests and cannot always keep the same pace as us, but the general direction still needs to be guaranteed.¡±

    Putin nodded. Even though Russia has declined terribly, its seat on the Five Permanent Council has been preserved. Now no one will jump out and say that Russia will not continue to be a gangster. Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and other countries do not have the courage.  Russia still has international influence, which can naturally help China's foreign affairs.

    Putin believes that this is not a big problem, and the other party has reserved room for it. Next, he believes that he must try his best to carry out reforms and economic recovery at home. He really does not think much about diplomatic issues, and even if he did, he would not have the ability to intervene.  Because Russia simply does not have the financial resources and energy now.

    "Secondly, we hope that in the process of Russia's reconstruction and economic recovery, Russia can give priority to our Chinese companies. Our companies have a strong ability to restore economic development, which must be obvious to all in recent years. This is beneficial to both parties.  . We also hope that Russia can open its market to our country¡¯s commodity exports as much as possible and provide care and preferential treatment for our country¡¯s investment.¡±

    This is not a big problem. With its extraordinary ability in foreign aid and construction, China has brought the three Eastern European countries together in two or three years. Now it is said that the southern region of Iraq is slowly recovering, and it is in line with the central and northern areas controlled by the United States.  The regions are worlds apart.  If we can borrow Chinese capital, it can indeed play a relatively large role in economic recovery.  Moreover, everyone in Russia now knows whether the medicine prescribed to Yeltsin by the West was effective.  Putin is not good at economics, and he is bound to find foreign aid.  Obviously, the countries supported by China have not failed, and the countries supported by the West, except for the Marshall Plan and Dodge Plan, basically have problems.

    "Finally, we still hope that Russia can protect our country's interests in Russia. Of course, we will also provide Russia with most-favored-nation treatment and welcome Russian people to travel, study and work in our country." After saying this, Liao Huairen's face  I couldn't help but blush.

    How can Russia have interests in China now? So in the final analysis, it is China¡¯s interests in Russia.  And how did these benefits come from? It was not because the Chinese were aggressively "attacking local tyrants and dividing their fields" in the occupied areas during these days.  The previous privatization coupons made many bureaucratic oligarchs cheaper, and now these privatization coupons make it cheaper for the Chinese people.  In just one month, the Chinese took control of nearly a thousand enterprises of all sizes in Russia, including farms, factories, shops, mining and the like.

    The number of these enterprises may not be large compared to the overall Russian economy, but they are all very important. By simple calculation, they account for about 15% of the total Russian economy. Moreover, taking into account other factors such as employment, social stability, and national operation, they can be said to be very important.  The impact on the Russian economy has been enormous.

    Putin didn't know exactly how much the Chinese had at first, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong and said that he would not agree to this until he saw the specific number, and that Russia's property needs to be protected and its economy needs to be independent.  Sex also needs to be maintained.

    Qi Yiming and Liao Huairen's idea is actually to control Russia economically. Even if they become independent politically, they will be more or less subordinate to the economy.  Although the industries that Qi Yiming grabbed were not very relevant to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as water, electricity and transportation, he controlled a considerable amount of manufacturing, industrial and mining industries, and then things like real estate. These things were either related to a powerful country or to business operations.  Sex-profit making is much gentler than directly controlling the life-gate-type industries.

    Liao Huairen finally issued a list to Putin. After reading it, veins began to appear on Putin's originally calm face.  In fact, he didn't know a lot of things at all, but just the part he knew he found unacceptable.  So Putin suspended his first meeting with Liao Huairen.

      Afterwards, the Strategic Bureau secretly ordered Nicholas to lobby Putin, and Qi Yiming also made some changes to his own conditions.  Finally, two days later, Liao Huairen received a new proposal: the shares of the above-mentioned enterprises were transferred to China for 2 years, during which time taxes were paid as usual. After 2 years, the remaining 102 shares that China retained in the shares of the above-mentioned enterprises were transferred to the Russian Federation for free.

    This is actually equivalent to the transfer of operating rights. Some resource-based enterprises, ports and the like in many countries are accustomed to doing this, especially in relatively backward countries. They have no technical capabilities and funds, but they hope to make money through this, so  Just look for companies from more mature developed countries to do it.

    Putin also knows that this may be the last bottom line for the Chinese. They fought a war with more than one million people. If they don't get any benefits, they will definitely not be able to explain it.  And if it is a time-limited transfer, these things will eventually belong to Russia, Putin comforted himself.

    Large tracts of farm land are fine. After two years of cultivation, there will be no problem unless destructive planting occurs. However, if the Chinese are ruthless, those large-scale industrial and mines may be mined out in twenty years.  Putin added several binding clauses, prohibiting predatory mining of resources. In addition, the mining resources must be supplied to Russian companies at the lowest price and given priority.

    As for some factories and stores, Putin doesn't particularly care. He himself doesn't see the impact clearly, so he doesn't think much about it. He only thinks that if the Chinese can take over these enterprises that have been shut down for a long time or are not operating well, they can turn around their losses.  For profit, it also saves them a lot of energy to do it.

    In addition, many of these enterprises are no longer state-owned enterprises, but private ones. Putin just wants to take them back and go through some trouble. He even wants the Chinese to help him take back some private companies so that he can keep them for himself in the future.  .  Putin actually has a very Soviet spirit. In another dimension, he fights against private oligarchs. In the case of Yushchenko, he used disgraceful means to turn a private company into a state, which is evident.

    This issue was finally settled, and Putin raised the issue of diplomatic recognition of Siberia and the Far Eastern Republic. After all, he did not want to be charged with cutting off territory.

    At this time, Liao Huairen smiled and came up with his own proposal: "We are going to form a temporary government and a temporary State Duma, and let these transitional government officials with only a few months of political life to support you. What do you think?  how?"

    Putin understood that the independence of Siberia and the Far East was inevitable, so he could only sigh and said: "Okay, that's it."

    ¡°Now let¡¯s talk about the issue of aid,¡± Putin said again.

    "Well, in terms of economy, we will restore the normal operations and production of most Russian enterprises through direct investment and assisted guidance and management. This of course requires a coordinated economic recovery and development plan. After all, Russia now needs to re-establish a  own economic system. And most importantly, it needs to meet the daily living needs of the Russian people, so the economy may focus more on this part, and then enhance market vitality, and also use high-quality foreign products to improve the lives of Russians.

    Privatization is not completely wrong in Russia¡¯s case. Proper market regulation will make the economy dynamic and flexible.  Initially, we still encourage individual small-scale operations. These small private economists play a relatively large role in improving the economic environment.

    Now Russia is also facing financial difficulties, so we will also provide approximately US$2 billion in interest-free, long-term loans to assist the initial operation of the Russian government and the development of some plans.  If necessary, our country will consider adding an additional part.  In addition, Mr. Putin can also consider ways to obtain funds from the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund.  But I can assure you that their conditions are definitely not comparable to ours.  "

    Liao Huairen came well prepared and brought some specific economic development plans, all formulated by the Strategic Security Bureau. They looked like flowers. Putin didn't know much about economics, but he still found it very meaningful and enlightened.  In fact, there are some small backdoors buried in it, which either facilitate the penetration of China's economy or may have negative effects. Liao Huairen does not understand it, but Qi Yiming understands it very well.

    Putin expressed satisfaction with this, and then said: "There are almost no Russian troops now. When the country is rebuilt, the army must also be rebuilt. What are your thoughts in this regard?"

    This is actually a bit of a slap in the face, because during these days, the Chinese army has been continuously confiscating various Russian weapons and transporting them away. When Putin mentioned this issue at this time, it actually meant a warning.
