v4 Chapter 903: oligarchic club
?Shouyun is undoubtedly a master of bad scenery. He even made the originally lively and abnormal dinner suddenly cold. A row of dead atmosphere enveloped the restaurant on the top floor of GUM Department Store, even the bodyguards who were in the distance. They also felt the abnormal atmosphere behind them. w
“What are you thinking?” Guo Shouyun was obviously very satisfied with the atmosphere he had created. He was silent for nearly five minutes, and finally he was the first to say, “Do you think I am alarmist?”
“Hehe, Shouyun, I don’t think you are a little alarmist,” Vinogradov was the first to calm down, he smiled bitterly, and said, “I just don’t know why you are telling us this. As you said just now. , if you’re going to be bad for us, these things don’t need to be explained so clearly to us, you just need to sit and watch the play. But, but now, I’m a little envious of Alexander, it seems, he He is the one who knows how to enjoy life the most.”
“Why do I tell you all this, hehe, this question seems to be on the point,” Guo Shouyun smiled and said, “If you still want to believe me, I really want to say something that seems to be a commonplace now. , that is, I am indeed very ambitious, but this ambition is not infinitely inflated. At least, I have never thought of using my own power to control all the power of the Federation. This is my past. The point of view, of course, remains the same.”
After snuffing out the cigarette **** in his hand, Guo Shouyun raised the wine glass, gestured to everyone, then brought the glass to his lips, took a sip, and then continued: “The past ten years have undoubtedly been the most turbulent in the Federation. In the past ten years, various political forces have competed and competed. You sing and I will appear. In this, the struggle between the few of us has never stopped. Sometimes I even think about the ten years of the Federation. The turmoil is actually caused by a few of us, at least we are one of the culprits. There is no doubt that the Federation wasted ten years of time, not to mention how much the Federation has suffered as a country in these ten years, Just looking at a single time, if these ten years are used for construction, I think the results that can be achieved in it will be quite astonishing. For us, the entire oligarchic group has also wasted ten years. Time, just imagine, if we could treat each other honestly and cooperate sincerely when we sat here for the first time, then neither we nor the entire Federation would have faced such an embarrassing situation now. Think about it, does what I say make sense?”
“What you said is indeed quite reasonable,” Khodorkovsky said with a sigh, looking up to the sky, “In ten years, the combined power of the few of us has indeed grown a lot, but at the same time, those who can help us The forces that cause obstacles and even threaten our survival have also expanded a lot. Therefore, relatively speaking, our strength has shrunk a lot in the past ten years. At least Alexander has collapsed. A powerful character who can make the Federal Treasury tremble with a stomping.
”
“Yeah,” Berezovsky also had infinite emotions. It should be said that at that time, he had the greatest political power in the oligarchic group. At that time, he was able to influence some of the Kremlin’s decision-making. Now, he is basically nothing but a little money. If it wasn’t for the support of Guo Shouyun behind his back, the old man Zyuganov probably wouldn’t have paid attention to him.
Just as Guo Shouyun said, in the past ten years, only one of the six giants has been perfectly expanded in terms of strength, while the remaining few can basically be described as bleak management – this is exactly that a financial turmoil. On the other hand, the political blocs in the Federation are rising very fast one by one, the Leningrad faction has collapsed, the democratic radical faction is finished, but the St. Petersburg gang has already taken shape, and the Russian Communist Party’s influence is rampant. , In addition, coupled with the right-wing opposition groups, local separatist forces and various small groups in the military, these political forces are fundamentally impacting the interests of the oligarchic groups, thus diluting their power to a large extent. .
“Hehe, I’ve been fighting with you for so many years, honestly, I’m already tired,” Guo Shouyun leaned back, reclined on the back of the chair, rubbed the corner of his eyes with one hand, and whispered, “The most important thing is Yes, you should know where the biggest weakness of my Guo family is. Anyone may doubt my ambitions, but only you should not have such doubts. To be honest, I may control the power of the entire federation by myself Is it impossible? The most important point, I don’t have many people to adopt. Just imagine if I could find the right person, would I support someone like Lebed in the first place? I’m not a fool, I can clearly tell who can use and who can’t. The reason why Lebed was brought out was because
have to choose. The same is true. If I exclude you all: within the Commonwealth. Who else can I find to take your place? Elena? She is a woman with enough brains. And the wrist is very flexible. But in the end. There are too many problems with her. Therefore. It’s fine to have her act as a think tank. But to stand in front of the stage to serve as an important federal official. That would be difficult. I believe at this point. She herself has a deep understanding. Hornikova? hehe. She is a very typical, even classic woman. on her body. In addition to having some fully feminine. It also has weaknesses common to most women. For example, be careful, show off, love petty cheap and the like. These faults are harmless to an ordinary woman. Even a little cute. But for a politician. These faults are fatal factors. therefore. It never occurred to me to give her too much power. Elsewhere. Take Nina, for example. She is withdrawn. I didn’t like those intrigue things. Don’t say anything else. Even if I put the power in her hands. She will lose it in two days. Shana Riva. I don’t want to say more about these issues. You should be very clear. And aside from these people. I can also really trust people. It’s just the few of you. good. Several of us were rivals in the past. Even throw away their lives to fight opponents. But then again. We are also the best friends. Everyone fought for so many years. You all know what kind of person I am. What kind of character are you. I also understand very well. under these circumstances. In order to be able to better distribute power. And then reasonably solve the federal political problem. If I don’t look for you, who else can I look for? Are you going to find my father-in-law? I don’t know his house number in heaven. ”
“Haha.” The four giants let out a knowing laugh. They can hear it. Guo Shouyun’s words are very true. Sincerely too.
“You all want to ask. What is the purpose of calling everyone together today. In fact, the answer is very simple. I just want to say. Let’s stop fighting.” Guo Shouyun said. “There are some immediate gains and losses. It’s infuriating. But from a long-term perspective. If we continue to fight. Maybe it won’t take two or three years. There will be another situation in the Federation. Until then. Let’s not Talk about competing interests. It would be nice to have a place to live. I think it’s more likely. We’ll all die without a place to die.”
“Shouyun. It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s that I can’t believe in human nature.” Khodorkovsky was silent for a moment. said. “You said we had a truce between us. Let’s work together instead. We’ll agree to the outside world. I don’t have any opinion on that. But the key question is. How can we achieve mutual trust?”
“Yes.” Berezovsky glanced at him. interface said. “Just like some people can’t trust me. I can’t trust him either. If this problem can’t be solved. Our solidarity and cooperation will only be empty talk.”
“Mutual trust is established through cooperation.” Guo Shouyun said without hesitation. “Think about it. When we joined forces to snipe international hot money. Did we reach real mutual trust at a specific time? At that time. Who did you suspect?”
The four giants didn’t speak, and it was obvious that they were all thinking back to that time.
“I’ve already thought about it,” Guo Shouyun said, “If you don’t object, our cooperation will start today, from this moment to now, the power in your hands, no matter who it is, belongs to him. All, as long as it belongs to our group, no one is allowed to interfere in the power of the other party without the permission of the five people at the same time. Of course, since it is cooperation, there will inevitably be conflicts. I suggest, Starting from this month, we will hold a regular meeting at the Queshan Villa every day. The chairman of the regular meeting will be taken by everyone in turn, so as to mediate the conflicts and conflicts between the parties, and at the same time, it is also convenient to negotiate and deal with the political crisis from the outside. I think, As long as this kind of cooperation lasts for a period of time and forms a behavioral inertia, then the mutual trust between us will no longer be a problem.
”
“It’s a good idea,” Khodorkovsky thought for a while, and said, “But now there is a problem, that is, Shouyun, your power seems to be too large, especially the existence of the military, which is created for us. Too much pressure, I”
“I knew you would say this,” Guo Shouyun smiled before he could finish his sentence, “Don’t worry, you are not at ease with the military forces in my hands, and I am also not at ease with them, so you might as well tell You, as long as we reach a consensus on our cooperation, then next, I suggest that the first target we should work together to deal with is the federal military.”
