Chapter 704 I Like Corrupt Officials "Please Support with Monthly Tickets"

The cooperation between Yeltsin and Putin was close. A week after he announced the appointment of Putin as the first deputy prime minister and assumed the powers of acting prime minister, the Prime Minister's Office chaired by Putin broke the news that Fan Investment Group had provided Russia with an advance The news of tens of billions of dollars in interest-free loan support immediately surged Putin's popularity.

When responding to reporters' questions, Putin said that 10 billion U.S. dollars in economic assistance is nothing. The future cooperation with Fanshi Investment Group will be all-round and in-depth, and the Chinese and Russian people have formed a long-term relationship. Traditional friendship makes Chinese friends far more reliable than Western countries.

Suddenly, the Russian media, which was suffering from the economic crisis, immediately discovered the New World. The Chinese, who had always been looked down upon by them, had actually become so rich? However, after carefully understanding the background of Fan Investment Group, the media was unable to figure it out. Because the foundation of Fan Investment Group was too complicated, there was no way to determine where it was from.

But in any case, a private company that can provide tens of billions of dollars in interest-free loans to Russia is quite wealthy, and Putin mentioned that there will be deeper cooperation in the future, which is very exciting.

Fan Wubing had already arrived in Mongolia with a large group of people at this time, and was warmly welcomed by the Mongolian government.

After its independence, it has been under the control of the Soviet Union and has been completely Russianized. The planned economy and Russian-language education were implemented, Russian was spoken at the upper levels, and the children of powerful people went to study in the Soviet Union. Mongolian culture and traditions gradually disappeared.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Mongolia broke away from the Russian track and began to seek its own development path and implement democratic politics. The country's highest authority is the Great Hural (Congress), and the government is composed of a majority party.

Since the implementation of the multi-party system in 1990, various political parties have sprung up in Mongolia. Some democratic parties have developed rapidly. In terms of the number of party members, the Democratic Party and others have already competed with the traditional major parties, such as the People's Revolutionary Party. On par.

In 1996, the "Alliance" won an overwhelming victory in the Great Khural elections, demonstrating the strength of the party. However, it can be seen from the governing experience of the "Alliance" that as an opposition party, the party has achieved remarkable results in conducting street politics and propaganda and agitating the masses. Once it came to power, it quickly exposed its serious lack of governing experience and its true nature of constant internal factional struggles. It has seriously affected its prestige among the people and its future development. During the "League"'s governance, there have been constant disputes within the ruling coalition from the first day it came to power. Four prime ministers have changed in the past four years, and the political situation is as chaotic as a revolving door. It is really lively when you sing and I come on.

Mongolia is rich in resources, with coal reserves ranging from 50 to 150 billion tons. The oil storage capacity ranges from 30 to 6 billion barrels, but Mongolia lacks funds and technology and the relevant laws lag behind, and resource development once stalled.

Nowadays, due to the actual situation in Russia, Mongolia cannot rely on Russian support. Although the United States and Japan, especially Japan, have a great interest in Mongolia, they not only hope to participate in mining development in Mongolia, but also try to contain China. However, only China can provide Mongolia with comprehensive development funds, technology and commodities. Most importantly, China's Inner Mongolia is an important platform for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between China and Mongolia. Other major countries do not have this advantage.

The reason why China and Mongolia have not yet launched in-depth cooperation is mainly because China’s domestic development is mainly in the southeastern coastal areas and has no time to take care of the northwest. The previous estrangement between the two countries did not last for a short time. It can be melted away.

As a Mongolian country, I have always been worried about being assimilated by China. After all, this has a long historical origin.

As China’s neighbor,

Whether it is Mongolia, South Korea, North Korea, or Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam, these countries have had long-term affiliations with China. They were originally vassal states of the Celestial Dynasty, so they had to exist after independence. A little bit of doubt is whether it will always be shrouded in China's sphere of influence and lose its self-awareness.

After all, China's strength has begun to grow significantly in recent years, and its international influence has also increased. They have to consider whether once China becomes stronger, will it be an adverse factor for the country's existence?

Therefore, Mongolia not only hopes to establish a good cooperative relationship with China, but is also worried about attracting wolves into the house, which will eventually cause it to lose its independent position. This is quite difficult in its heart.

Domestic companies are not very enthusiastic about investing in Mongolia, but this is related to past propaganda. In the past propaganda, at least in Fan Wubing's previous impression, it seemed that apart from cattle, sheep, yurts and grasslands, there was nothing worthy of praise in Mongolia. It was impossible to imagine that there were so many here. Natural resources are coveted.

In fact, senior officials have always been relatively shy about the fact that Mongolia was split from China. Therefore, public opinion propaganda naturally tends to portray it as a desolate place with no economic value and can only rely on relief. But the fact The resources here are simply richer than in China.

Of course, if there is any flaw, it is that Mongolia's food and daily necessities are basically completely dependent on imports from China. This is the biggest problem restricting their development.

The Russians have too much time to take care of themselves, and China's attitude towards Mongolia determines the speed of their development.

Ulaanbaatar left an impression on Fan Wubing, no matter the person. The atmosphere of the city and the style of the architecture are very similar to those of Kazakhstan, which was not yet developed back then. The signs all over the street are either in Russian letters or in English. After listening to the introduction, I realized that the government regulations, whether it is billboards or signboards, Well, you can only use these two languages, so it is not easy to find a Chinese restaurant in Ulabaatar. Unlike in other countries, you can see Chinese signs of Chinese restaurants all the way.

It is estimated that this kind of regulation is actually made for the purpose of de-Sinicization. In order to avoid trouble, most Chinese restaurants do not even write Chinese menus. As a result, many Chinese people who come here do not know what to do. Ordered.

Fan Wubing and the others did find a so-called Chinese restaurant with Chinese on the menu. However, after they went in and had a meal, they really couldn't convince themselves that they were eating Chinese food and asked someone to ask. Only then did I realize that the original Taiwanese owner had left long ago, and a Korean took over, but the signboard of the Chinese restaurant was still hanging.

"No wonder, most of the customers in the restaurant are sticks. Even the side dishes before the meal are all kimchi. I have been fooled this time!" Fan Wubing then realized why the food didn't taste like Chinese food. It turned out that this was authentic In Korean restaurants, I can finally fully understand what it means to sell dog meat with a sheep's head.

When it comes to Koreans, it seems that they can be seen everywhere in Central Asian countries. There are Korean restaurants all over the streets, there are many flights from Seoul to these Central Asian countries, and the high-end hotels in these countries are full of Korean, which makes it impossible to ignore their existence.

The same is true in Ulaanbaatar. The most decent building in the city is the Seoul Business Center, a place where the Korean business community gathers its offices and life. However, even though there are so many Koreans, the outside world is still paying more attention to every move of the Chinese there.

Many Mongolians do not like Chinese people. This has historical reasons. Although most Mongolians are Mongolians, they are very different from the Mongolians in Inner Mongolia.

The Mongolians here rarely speak Mongolian and basically speak Russian and English. Their diet and living habits are also different from those of the Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. However, there are no supermarkets here and there are not many fresh vegetables.

It can be said that many cities in Mongolia are not as good as a small town in China. When Fan Wubing and others came over, the streets of Ulaanbaatar were full of large and small mugshots. The streets were busy from morning to night. There are vehicles with loudspeakers and mugshots passing by. This is because on the 29th of this month, they will hold a new round of parliamentary elections, with more than 700 candidates competing for 79 seats. , it can be expected from the overwhelming publicity campaign that it will be quite intense.

Mongolia is a democratic country, and parliamentary elections are held every four years. However, the democratic elections also bring turmoil to the country, and they do not solve the problem of corruption and corruption in Mongolia. A subordinate who had stayed in Mongolia told Fan Wubing that in Mongolia, as long as you have money, you can do anything.

"I want a lot of things. Of course, I won't be stingy about being ripped off by them." Fan Wubing said to everyone with a smile, "We are going to do big business, and we really don't know how to make a little money." In my eyes, just let them blackmail you. Last year, Canada's LD Mining Company invested US$75 million to obtain the overall mining rights of the Mongolian gold mine, and also received tax exemptions for the first five years. I am now planning to pay a bribe of US$100 million in Mongolia to see if I can get more favorable terms?”

The subordinate who was familiar with the environment in Mongolia immediately laughed, "Boss, if you let me handle this matter, I would probably buy half of Mongolia. There is a shortage of everything here, except for corrupt officials!"

Fan Wubing immediately replied with great satisfaction after hearing this, "That's really good! I like corrupt officials, especially corrupt officials in Mongolia. The more the better!"

Everyone covets fat sheep, but it also depends on whether the shepherds are responsible. If the shepherds can be bribed, aren't all the fat sheep their own?
