Defense Broken! ! ! No Substitutions, Explanation of Friedman’s Plot, Popular Science About the Seven Oligarchs
No substitutions, no substitutions, no substitutions. I spent millions of words writing books (hundreds of them were ordered and nearly 3 million words were written! In the later period, there were less than 40 people reading, and I finished all the books. !), how is it possible to sell the account?
Russia's "Seven Big Oligarchs" refer to the big capitalists who got rich overnight during the privatization process in the 1990s. The Friedman family was one of the financial oligarchs and new consortiums that really emerged in that era.
Interestingly, among the seven oligarchs, only Friedman died a good death, and he was also the last one to become successful. The other six people benefited from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economy rose rapidly, but he was the only one who honestly founded When he joined Alpha Group, he was still young when Putin came to power, so he restrained his behavior and was fairly honest in doing business. The obedient Friedman tasted some sweetness and avoided the final fate of being liquidated.
This oligarch's thinking is very Japanese. The consortium he founded is Alpha Group (super trading company) + Alpha Bank (holding financial bank). In the 1990s, he was still poor and had little money. At first, he was in the arms business, but even They are too cautious to sell arms overseas, but they are just pure arms manufacturers!
In the plot of this book, those arms were not shipped from the Soviet Union (no normal person would think that anyone could do it, right? And can a Soviet citizen settle in the United States for a long time?). Friedman’s wife is an American, and her family specializes in The arms manufacturing business is a private arms company. They have settled in the United States for a long time, and later found their first pot of gold. They returned to China and wanted to take advantage of the dividends from the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Plot highlights:
First, the arms of a platoon are worthless at all. The girl knows this better than anyone else, and she can’t get more from her parents. Obviously she just wants to pretend to be stupid and get money to enter the futures market.
Second, arms companies in the United States can be private, but their sales targets can only be the government and the military. Therefore, her behavior is illegal. Even from the mainland, Luo Meng would never dare to accept these arms as goods!
Third, can Beiyuan admit that this thing is worth 10 billion?
This plot involves Friedman's rise to fame, the subsequent disintegration and invasion of the Soviet Union, and other major plots. I think it is very necessary.
Do I have to write it very clearly, her family background, intentions, causes and consequences, and the reason why Friedman made his fortune thanks to Kitahara's hand are exposed as soon as possible?
The bullets flew for a while, so many apprentices sprayed me, and I completely broke my defense. The meaning of this sentence is that I don’t care about pirates criticizing me, but so many genuine apprentices criticize me, which makes me very suspicious of this plot problem, so I will explain to you in a single chapter why I misinterpreted the meaning.
The next chapter talks about the arms business of Friedman's family. Kitahara recognized their identities, can't they wait for another chapter?
In addition, the interesting point in the follow-up of this plot is not that the girl is really allowed to mess around and get 10 billion. She really has no money, and her family really has no money!
Attached below is the Baidu Encyclopedia information of the seven major oligarchs. It’s my fault for not popularizing it in advance, but I can’t put this kind of popular science content directly into the text. Please forgive me.
The plot explanation ends here. If you still can't accept it, you can only wait until more than ten chapters of Xiao Niu's episode have passed and the bubble economy has officially collapsed before coming back. If I don't come back, I have nothing to do. Let's get together and break up. See you in the next book. .
Everyone, please be a little less angry and read slowly, okay?
It's not easy to write a book, and it's not easy to read a book either. Let's understand each other.
Introduction to the Seven Oligarchs (The text will be slightly modified due to the timeline and some reasons. Of course, it is Japanese. The story of the disintegration of the Soviet Union is very short. Not all the seven oligarchs will appear. In addition, the assets they own are definitely false. Not that little. How can the seven people who can make a monkey the president only have this little money?)
Gusinski
Gusinski is of Jewish descent and has a very shrewd mind. In 1989, he established Bridge Bank and made a fortune. In 1993, he set his sights on the media industry again, investing in the creation of a new channel in Russia's Independent Television, and later purchased 77% of the shares of the television station. Later, he took control of the "Today" and "Seven Days" weekly magazines, acquired the famous "Voice of Moscow" radio station, and co-organized the "Summary" weekly magazine with the Americans. By the mid-1990s, Gusinski had become a media tycoon with a personal fortune of $400 million.
At the beginning of the new century, Gusinski began to have bad luck. On May 11, 2000, Russian law enforcement agencies forcibly searched Gusinski's "Media-Bridge" group. On June 12 of the same year, the Russian General Prosecutor's Office accused him of embezzling state assets and ordered his arrest. On June 16, Gusinski, who had been in jail for three days, was released on bail pending trial, and then disappeared mysteriously. In November 2001, Russia issued an international arrest warrant for Gusinski to Interpol. On December 12 of the same year, Gusinski was arrested in Spain, but the Spanish police rejected Russia's extradition request and released him. On August 23, 2003, Gusinski was arrested again in Greece and released soon after. Gusinski is hiding in Israel, living a life that feels like years. The plucked "goose" (Gusinski's nickname) no longer dares to fly around.
Berezovsky
Berezovsky was originally an excellent mathematician. In the early 1990s, he couldn't resist the temptation to "go into the sea" and made his first pot of gold by reselling cars. Later, he quickly became rich through speculation and established Union Bank. In December 1995, he and others purchased 51% of the shares of Sibneft and took control of Russian civil aviation. In order to exert influence on the government, Berezovsky acquired 16% of the shares of Russian Public Television and 29% of the shares of Television 6, and controlled part of the shares of "The Independent" and "Spark" weekly newspapers. It is said that his fortune is approximately US$3 billion. Because of his acquaintance with an important figure, Berezovsky had a prosperous official career for a period of time. From 1992 to 1993, he served as the government's industrial policy adviser. In 1996, he served as deputy secretary of the Federal Security Council. In April 1998, he was appointed by Yeltsin as secretary of the Executive Secretariat of the Commonwealth of Independent States. In December 1999, Berezovsky sneaked into the ranks of State Duma representatives, but in July 2000 he voluntarily gave up his qualifications as a representative.
In early 2000, Russian judicial authorities accused him of participating in a series of fraud cases. To avoid prison, Berezovsky slipped to Britain in May of that year. On March 26, 2003, Berezovsky was arrested in London. The Russian General Prosecutor's Office had prepared to extradite him back to the country, but Berezovsky actually persuaded the British government to agree to his request for political asylum. Despite this, the "white birch tree" (Berezovsky's nickname) was chopped down by Putin and could never stand upright again.
China News Service, London, March 23, 2013. British police confirmed that Boris Berezovsky, a Russian tycoon in exile in the UK, was found dead in his apartment near London on the 23rd [1]
Khodorkovsky
Khodorkovsky, a former Communist Youth League cadre, made his fortune by reselling counterfeit wine. In 1990, he acquired the HTTM Center from the Moscow City Soviet Executive Committee and renamed it Menatep-Investment Bank, entering the financial world in one fell swoop. In December 1995, Huo acquired 45% of the shares of Yukos Oil Company for US$350 million. During the financial crisis of 1998, Menatep Bank almost went bankrupt. After that, Huo concentrated on the oil business and quickly got rid of his financial difficulties. According to statistics from Forbes magazine, from 1997 to 2003, Huo's wealth increased from US$2.4 billion to US$8 billion, ranking 26th in the world's richest list, becoming the richest man in Russia.
In 2005, he was sentenced to eight years in prison for four crimes including theft of state property, fraud, malicious violation of court rulings, and tax evasion; on December 27, 2010, local time, the Khamovnichesky Court in Moscow was still serving his sentence. Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, the former president of Menatep Bank, issued a verdict, finding that Khodorkovsky "stole US$29 billion in crude oil and laundered money through criminal channels" during his time in charge of Yukos Oil Company (OAO Yukos). The crime carries a possible additional second sentence of up to 8 years.
Smolensky
In 1989, Smolensky founded Capital Savings Bank and served as its president. In November 1996, he gained control of Agricultural and Industrial Bank, the fifth largest bank in Russia, and Capital Savings-Agricultural Bank became one of the eight largest banks in Russia.
In the financial crisis of 1998, "Capital Savings-Agricultural Bank of China" suffered a devastating blow. At the same time, the Investigation Bureau of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs began to investigate Smolensky’s illegal business case. For this reason, Smolensky had to run to Vienna for refuge. As the investigation of the case deepened, the Russian General Prosecutor's Office froze Smolensky's stocks in the spring of that year and placed him on an international warrant. Later, due to personnel changes in the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian prosecutorial agency dropped the prosecution against him. In recent years, Smolensky's business has become worse and worse, almost "dying".
Vinogradov
In October 1988, Vinogradov established a private bank, Moscow International Commercial Bank, and embarked on the road to making a fortune. In the 1998 financial crisis, international commercial banks suffered a fatal blow and were unable to repay the deposits owed to 230,000 depositors. Vinogradov filed for bankruptcy in 1999 after the Russian Central Bank confiscated the international commercial bank's business license. In 2001, the Russian Audit Court accused him of illegally transferring assets, but the judicial authorities did not pursue his criminal responsibility. Among the "Seven Oligarchs", Vinogradov lost the most. Just like his surname (meaning grape), he was already a bunch of rotten grapes. Vinogradov was so reclusive that the Russian media almost forgot about him.
Malkin
In 1994, Malkin began serving as president of Credit and Commercial Bank of Russia.
The bank was hit hard during the 1998 financial crisis. Due to poor performance, Malkin was forced to leave the position of president of the bank in 2000 and was changed to first vice president. In 2002, Russian media accused Malkin of participating in a commercial fraud involving a loan from Russia and Angola. He is also suspected of providing funds to illegal Chechen armed forces for the purchase of weapons. However, the Russian judicial department did not intervene in the matter, and Malkin escaped.
Although Malkin lives in Russia, he became a Canadian citizen. In April 2002, he opened a casino called "Hell Garden" in Moscow. It is said that there are two halls in the casino: one is called the "Heaven Hall" and the other is called the "Hell Hall". The walls of both halls are covered with biblical stories. The heads of sinners painted on the walls of the "Hall of Hell" are particularly similar to famous Russian oligarchs. Malkin seemed to be reminding his former companions: "Have fun, but don't get addicted."
Friedman
Friedman was the head of Alfa Group, which includes Alfa Bank, and was the least well-known among the "Seven Oligarchs" that year. When Putin came to power when he was still young, he restrained his behavior and was fairly honest in business. The obedient Friedman tasted some sweetness. According to "Forbes" magazine, Friedman's assets increased from US$1.1 billion to US$4.3 billion from 2001 to 2003. Friedman is currently a member of the Entrepreneurs Council directly under the Russian government and is one of the most influential entrepreneurs in Russia today.
