Chapter 3504 New Armored Vehicle
anger! Putin was in the Kremlin, but he didn't come to see Lin Feng because he was very angry.
But now, Lin Feng's promise to Russia has not been fulfilled, but he has invested heavily in Libya and promised to build railways, hospitals, schools, and lay out telecommunications networks in Libya. All of these were what Lin Feng was supposed to build in Russia. As a result, all investments were made in Libya. This naturally made Putin dissatisfied.
Putin has always been a character president. If he is dissatisfied, he will naturally vent it.
"Mr. Lin, can you explain why you invested in Libya instead of fulfilling your promises in Russia?" Medvedev said with a smile.
Putin and Medvedev are very good at each other. Putin has a fiery and fanatical personality, while Medvedev is gentle and gentle. The political combination of both parties is the best antidote for Russia today when it is suffering from the economic recession of the former Soviet Union.
"Mr. Medvedev, regarding my promise, I have been planning and trying to invest. However, I am very worried about the hostility of the returning state governments towards Chinese investors. For example, I am a Chinese businessman. , invested in the forest in Siberia, but after five years, the forest finally grew and it was time to recover the cost and make a profit, but the state government misappropriated its assets on the grounds of tax evasion," Lin Feng said seriously, "Also. The Cherkizovo market was suddenly declared illegal, and all its goods were confiscated and made state-owned, causing 30,000 Chinese businessmen to lose their money overnight. To be honest, I was also worried that my investment would be destroyed. Illegal confiscation! Let my investment be wiped out.”
"Mr. Lin, I don't know what you said about Chinese businessmen investing in forests in Siberia. But I can explain it to you about the Cherkizovo market." Medvedev explained with a smile, "Cherkizovo The Zovo Market was founded by Ismailov in the early 1990s. It was once the largest retail market in Europe and provided a large number of tax and entrepreneurial jobs for our country. However, Ismailov has been here for more than 20 years. During the year, legal taxes were not paid, and there were many criminal cases. For this reason, we finally closed the Cherkizovo market and confiscated all the goods. It belongs to a Chinese businessman. After we investigate clearly, we will return the legitimate assets to the Chinese businessman.”
"Ha!" Lin Feng sneered, "Mr. Medvedev, there are too many things about the damage to Chinese businessmen's investments in Russia. Although they all promised to return the goods to the Chinese businessmen in the end, most of them ended up being damaged. Therefore, my investment is naturally very cautious. Once I invest, the funds will not be hundreds of millions of dollars, but billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars. But the money is confiscated. I feel bad too. After all, my money is hard-earned, not blown by the wind.”
Medvedev was choked and speechless by Lin Feng's words, and the irony in Lin Feng's words made him very embarrassed.
"Bastard! Lin Feng,
You still have the nerve to say this! If you invest, will anyone in Russia dare to confiscate your assets? I have given you a guarantee that your funds are absolutely legal in Russia. You said here today that you are worried about the safety of your funds. Are you kidding me? Putin suddenly rushed out angrily, pointed at Lin Feng's nose, and yelled, "With your character, if we in Russia embezzle any of your assets, you will rush to the Kremlin. We dare to embezzle your assets." assets! Lin Feng, what the hell are you saying here that you are afraid of having your assets embezzled? Are you going against your will? "
Lin Feng was dumbfounded by Putin's loud curse. Not only was Lin Feng dumbfounded, but Medvedev on the side was also dumbfounded. He has never seen Putin so out of control, scolding someone so angrily.
Obviously, Putin was really mad at Lin Feng's words. But to be honest, Medvedev felt that Lin Feng's words were too contrary to his wishes. Is Lin Feng an ordinary person? Are his assets so easy to misappropriate? If you embezzle his assets, will he just let it go? I am afraid that if Russia misappropriates some of Lin Feng's assets, Lin Feng will go directly to the United Nations to accuse Russia, and even directly use Lin Feng's international influence to oppose Russia in all aspects.
If Russia wants to develop, it will not behave so irrationally. As a result, Lin Feng is here accusing Russia of confiscating assets. He is worried that the funds are not safe. This is really a bit strange.
"Lin Feng, there are not enough cases of countries around the world embezzling Chinese assets. The United States, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, at least more than 50 countries in the world have embezzled Chinese businessmen's money. How come you are still in these countries? Investment, why don't you question them! Lin Feng, you are too naive!" Putin pointed at Lin Feng's nose.
Lin Feng was speechless. I'm just an excuse, so I won't make President Putin so angry.
"Uh, Medvedev, well, is his family harmonious recently?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice. But this 'small voice' was still heard by Putin.
"Poof!" Medvedev was frightened by Lin Feng and stood up directly. Lin Feng was the first person he had ever seen who dared to make fun of Putin when he was so angry.
Teng! Putin's face suddenly turned red. This was a sign of frustration. Putin was angry. Bajie Literature 8jwx
"Lin Feng, stand up, I'll challenge you to a duel!" Putin roared.
When Medvedev heard this, he immediately retreated, went out and dismissed all the people, and immediately closed the door tightly, not daring to stay for a second.
Lin Feng was speechless. Really come to a duel again? Last time, Putin lost. After all, Putin is old, and he is young and agile. Against Putin, it is exactly like the old Chinese saying - a young man is afraid of a strong fist.
"I have trained for a period of time this time. Come on, I'll give you time to change clothes!" Putin stretched his hands and feet and came to the center of the venue.
Lin Feng was not polite either. Damn, didn't he just win once? As a result, every time he came, Putin wanted to challenge him, and if he lost, he would have to challenge him once and for all. You said, as the president, why do you want to challenge him? If you want to compete, you also compete in wisdom. But Putin has challenged him, and Lin Feng will not admit defeat.
Fight!
After a fight, the two men lay on the ground with bruised faces and panting.
"Hey, Lin, we ended up in a tie this time. I will definitely win next time." Putin smiled proudly. Last time, he lost, without any dispute. Whether it was physical strength or skills, he lost to Lin Feng.
So, he has been training with a professional karate coach, and swimming and running every day to reserve physical strength. Finally, he tied with Lin Feng this time. Next time, he will definitely win.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect Putin to be so crazy. Isn't it just for a single fight? Why do you fight so hard? You are the President of Russia, where do you have so much time to train? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? But fortunately, he didn't lose this time.
A tie is the best.
At this time, Medvedev came in and handed the two people a hot towel and some external compresses to remove blood stasis. After applying them to the two people, he stepped aside.
"Okay, let's talk business! Tell me, when do you plan to fulfill your promise on investment in Russia? I don't want to hear empty words, I want to hear the truth. Russia is still suffering from the economic recession of the former Soviet Union, and civil infrastructure is extremely lacking. You must tell me the truth." Putin said.
Lin Feng was about to speak about some interests, but before he could say anything, he was immediately blocked by Putin.
"Lin Feng, don't talk to me about business benefits. I won't give you any actual benefits. If you have the ability to invest in Russia, you will make money, and if you don't, you will lose money. But I, Putin, can give you things that money can't buy. For example, I can give you more shares of this batch of arms. Also, I can help you solve some troubles you have caused in the international community. But the premise is that your investment in Russia satisfies me! If you still want to perfunctorily deal with me, then I will use the methods I use to deal with those oligarchs to deal with you! You and Abramovich should know each other, I believe you should know how I deal with those oligarchs who eat and don't spit out bones!" Putin said coldly.
Lin Feng knew that Putin was really angry. He was annoyed by his investment in Libya.
"Okay, don't worry. This time, we will invest in Russia and Libya at one time. But I have to say it in advance. If my investment assets are embezzled, I will not let it go. After all, I come to invest for the Russian people. Making money is my legitimate interest. If you want to embezzle my assets maliciously, I really can't accept it." Lin Feng warned.
"Don't worry, as long as you pay taxes according to the law, I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch your assets. You can contact Medvedev directly. But I have to say it in advance. Don't be like those oligarchs who want to use policies to plagiarize Russian national assets. If that happens, I'm sorry." Putin said.
Lin Feng nodded.
"By the way, what about those Chinese businessmen? What about the 30,000 Chinese businessmen in Cherkizovo?" Lin Feng asked.
"Don't worry, since you've spoken, I will naturally let those officials handle the case according to the law and return the goods to them as soon as possible. But Lin, you should understand that the process of any country's progress towards independence is difficult, and various bad behaviors are inevitable in the process, so you don't have to be so petty with me for the Chinese." Putin said.
Lin Feng frowned. Putin meant that he should not meddle in Russia's affairs in the future. This made Lin Feng unhappy. After all, no matter what, they are all Chinese people, his compatriots. If he can help, he will naturally help. Of course, Lin Feng will not insist on fighting with Putin for the status of Chinese merchants in Russia at this moment.
It's unwise to continue this. And even if Putin agrees, what can he do if the police and tax departments below don't implement it! Do you still expect Putin to issue an order to let all departments in Russia take care of Chinese merchants? This is obviously unrealistic.
"Okay. But if you want Russia to attract foreign investment to do business here, rather than to steal Russia's rich natural resources, management must be open, transparent, and fair. Those police and tax departments who like to extort merchants, as well as public officials at all levels, their actions are forcing foreign businessmen not to dare to invest here, and will force these foreign businessmen to seek illegal profits. Because if you don't break the law, you can't make money." Lin Feng finally chose to accept the unpleasantness of the truth.
Putin naturally understood what Lin Feng meant. However, Russia evolved from the former Soviet Union, which had an economic collapse. The former Soviet Union's economic model directly caused the entire society to collapse, leading to Russia's current economic situation, as well as imbalanced operations in government departments and rampant corruption. Putin hopes to change all of these, but it takes time. This does not mean that Putin can do it immediately if he wants to.
Time! This is what Putin needs most. This is also the reason why Putin and Medvedev successively held power. Because he does not believe that others can lead Russia. He wants to rely on his own strength to bring Russia back to the leading level of developed countries in the world.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about this order. The total value of this order is about 200 million US dollars. I can give you all these guns and ammunition. But I don't just want to sell these, I also want to sell some tanks and planes to Libya. Ask Gaddafi, does he dare to take them?" Putin said.
"President Putin, Libya's terrain and political structure are destined to be unsuitable for large-scale combat troops. It is useless to buy too many tanks and aircraft. In the face of the powerful military forces of Western countries, tanks and aircraft are just decorations. Gaddafi needs a mobile and fast reaction force. And the guns and ammunition he purchased can meet his requirements for fast movement." Lin Feng said.
Mobile and fast reaction force! Putin raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you stay in Moscow for a day or two, and I will show you a picture. Send it to Gaddafi to see if he wants it." Putin said, and told Medvedev to greet Lin Feng, and then he went to work.
Lin Feng waited for a day, and Putin brought a design drawing. Lin Feng opened it and saw that it was a newly modified modern pickup truck, which could be equipped with a machine gun and several rockets, and equipped with modern tracking instruments, especially with a red heat detector and a simple radar, which could detect aircraft within 300 kilometers.
"Lin, this is a light armored vehicle with strong mobility and sufficient firepower that our Russian military has recently designed based on your requirements. Each vehicle costs 1.5 million US dollars. Ask Gaddafi how much it costs?" Putin said with a smile.
He saw another huge business coming to him.
