Chapter 475 The Beginning of the King
9:00 am on August 29, 1991.
Vladimir led the staff of the Russian Federal Supervisory Agency to arrest the "Incident Strategist" Lukyanov as quickly as possible.
Gorbachev strongly praised the actions of Yelikin, Vladimir and others during the incident on CCTV, praising them for "playing an outstanding role". At the same time, Yelikin's reputation reached its peak. Reached an agreement with Gorbachev——
Allows one party to act on behalf of the other party unconditionally during a state of emergency.
Liquidation orders were issued on Yelkin's instructions after Alfa Bank replaced the Moscow International Commercial Bank's financial position in Moscow.
At this point, all of Mao Xiong's real estate and Dongzhong property are owned by Russia. However, the financial statements released by Alpha Bank the next day showed that the assets in all accounts were only more than 12 billion rubles and more than 50 million in freely convertible foreign exchange.
Government Office Building.
Yelkin sat at his desk and was quickly approving various documents. He successfully resolved a crisis that could be called a desperate situation. Now it was the day of his official rise. Gorbachev had the intention to retreat. The trend was unstoppable. What follows? Just take it one step at a time.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in, the door is unlocked." Yelikin didn't even raise his head.
The rather tall Vladimir walked in with a briefcase and closed the door.
"Your Excellency, the asset transfer operations you requested have been completed through Alfa Bank." Vladimir stood up straight. In front of him, this man is about to replace Gorbachev and become the leader of the superpower in the future, and he will naturally rise with the tide. , a promising future.
Thinking of these, he couldn't help but think of a certain banker in that distant country.
"Very good, is there anything else?" Yelkin still didn't raise his head, "By the way, after these problems are resolved, I plan to transfer you to be the mayor of St. Petersburg."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Vladimir's face was expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.
These days of hard work have finally paid off, and he will start a new journey.
"Alfa Group contributed a lot to this incident." Vladimir added, "Especially spreading the truth through the research institute. This is all the credit of Aman Friedman."
Hearing this name, Yelkin slowly put down the pen in his hand and looked up at his confidant, his eyes full of disdain.
"Businessmen, after all, are just businessmen. They follow their interests, not us." Yelikin taught his successor earnestly, "I know you are very grateful for his help to you, but these businessmen are not worth your money. Too much thought. Do you want to give him some benefits?"
"Yes. He and I have promised something. If we cannot fulfill it, it will not be good for our image." Vladimir felt Yelikin's disdain for these businessmen and sighed in his heart. Kitahara Sosuke was really prepared for a rainy day. If he If His Excellency Yelkin's name is on his mind, nothing good may happen.
Although Yelikin treated them this way, Vladimir still admired Kithara Sosuke's feelings, and he decided to hide everything about Kithara Sosuke.
"Hasn't the Alpha Group already obtained huge benefits from it? This businessman has a big appetite and is still not satisfied?" Yelkin's eyes became cold. "These seven guys think they control the economy. You can control politics, and you have to teach them some memorable lessons in the future.”
"Currently, we still need them to help us stabilize the situation." Vladimir deeply agreed with this. During the special meeting that day, the seven giants showed no respect for Yelkin at all. If things go on like this, these businessmen might really be able to ride on them. on their heads.
However, among the seven, Arman Friedman is his person and can be considered for protection.
"Then what else does he want?" Yelikin nodded slightly. Vladimir took the greatest credit for successfully preventing the incident this time. It seems that he got a lot of things from those businessmen. It's not a good time to settle the matter now. When the time comes, just give them a little sweetness for the time being.
"Alfa Group wants to have some in-depth cooperation with us, which mainly includes bank loans, the purchase of high-tech and military technology, and the purchase of large amounts of national debt." Vladimir paused, "With the capabilities of Alpha Group, these cooperations are also beneficial to us. , especially the national debt, Your Excellency, these are burdens that many wealthy families want to throw away, just let Aman Friedman help you digest them, and you can also use this to re-establish cooperative relationships with those wealthy families."
This trick of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha was very clever, and Yelikin nodded repeatedly when he heard it.
As for loans and the purchase of technology, he doesn't care much. The banks that want to win over him are the ones providing the money. No matter how much the amount is, it will become waste paper when it is disbanded at the end of the year. Alpha Group seems to want to get a bigger share of the pie, so it doesn't matter. .
"These cooperation issues are not big, but Alpha Bank is also a domestic bank. How to apply for a loan? Also, if you want to purchase technology, let him use a large amount of necessities in exchange." Yelkin knocked on the table, he had more important things Things have to be busy. "The cooperation with Alpha Group will be fully entrusted to you. In the afternoon, I will rush to several big families to discuss the issue of national debt. How much can Aman Friedman eat?"
"The more, the better." Vladimir smiled, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will handle this cooperation properly."
"Well, I'll leave it to you." Yelkin continued to work with his head down, and Vladimir stopped disturbing him and left the office.
After walking out of the government building, Vladimir took a deep breath, took out his satellite phone and made a call.
Kithara Sosuke, who is far away in Kyoto, is also waiting for this crucial call.
"Moxi Moxi, I'm Kitahara Sosuke." He glanced at the unfamiliar number and understood that something big was about to happen.
"Mr. Kitahara, I am Vladimir. This is the situation of my communication with His Excellency Yelkin."
After listening to Vladimir's narration, Kitahara Sosuke was half happy and half worried. As he expected, these high-ranking politicians did not think highly of businessmen after all.
In particular, the seven major business giants in Russia were so proud of their favor that they had long been on Yelkin's blacklist. After the millennium, these big fat sheep were liquidated one by one and became the government's rations.
This is true even for local businessmen, let alone a foreigner like Kitahara Sosuke.
Hearing that Vladimir protected him, he was slightly relieved. Now he still needs the business there. Only when the Kitahara Consortium is formally established in Japan can he devote his energy to handling international business.
Kitahara Sosuke knocked on the table. Now, it's time to wait for the harvest.
"After eating the Takeshita family, starting in 1992, Japan's financial industry will also enter a real cold winter due to a series of problems. The cooperation of several major financial holding groups is the best opportunity for me to rise. The merger of Tosan and UFJ is the best opportunity for me to rise. The interests that must be fought for, only if I wipe out the financial industry in the past two years, will I be qualified to participate in the Asian financial crisis in 1996."
Kitahara Sosuke was thinking about his next goals and opportunities.
1996 was when he really came out of the water.
After that wave, if operated properly, the Kitahara Consortium will become a world-famous emerging consortium, able to compete with the super consortiums in South Korea, the United States and other countries.
"I want to move towards the highest throne step by step." Kitahara Sosuke looked at the sky with firm eyes, as if there was an empty unmanned throne waiting for him.
