Chapter 1175 The Depressed President
There are many things that make people depressed, and it can be said that they are all the consequences of long-term intelligence.
In the late 1980s, the so-called democratic and Westernization trend in China continued to rise, and the theory that all domestic science and technology are garbage was everywhere. A shipbuilding factory in Shanghai was "neighborly and friendly" with Japan and gave Japan the intensive digital welding system that it had developed after years of hard work for free.
This system was designed by Chinese scientists in the early 1960s under secret conditions using early Soviet electronic machine tools. It can be said that it was the most advanced equipment in Asia in the 1980s.
However, it was ordered to be discontinued under the "highly responsible scrutiny" of Japanese experts. The following year, China and Japan signed an agreement to import large-scale welding systems from Japan, which was about 300 million US dollars, but no deal was made.
It was not until after the three bulls that the Chinese people woke up from their dreams through exchanges and cooperation with a French company. At that time, the French electronic numerical control equipment worth 1.2 billion US dollars was introduced, and 80% of the technology was "scrutinized by friendly experts" in Japan in the mid-1980s.
Another famous example is the manufacturing process of Chinese Xuan paper.
Xuan paper, which has a history of more than a thousand years, is an enduring artistic treasure in the Chinese art world. Chinese calligraphy and painting cannot express the beauty of art without it.
Since the mid-to-late 19th century, intelligence personnel in some countries, especially economic intelligence personnel, have visited the production areas of Xuan paper in my country one after another, trying every means to collect information on the production skills of Xuan paper in my country and imitate Xuan paper in order to achieve the purpose of obtaining high economic benefits.
According to the "History of Chinese Xuan Paper", foreigners have been stealing Xuan paper production technology. There are several cases of British Bai Enkai stealing Xuan paper secrets that can be checked and seen in written historical materials. He went to Jingxian to inquire about the production process of Xuan paper, and reported the ingredients and the entire production process as scientific and technological secrets to the Inspector General of Taxation, Hart.
In the ninth year of Guangxu, a Japanese named Mu Qiuyuan Chen Zheng sneaked into Jingxian in disguise to explore the production skills of Xuan paper. After returning to his country, he wrote "The Tears Tour Diary of Qing Papermaking".
At the beginning of this century, there was a Japanese named Uchiyama Yasomon, who was in Nanjing, close to the paper-producing areas of Anhui. He went deep into the paper-producing areas many times, especially Xiaoyiling, the origin of Xuan paper in Jingxian County. He stole information about Xuan paper production. After returning to Japan, he wrote an article called "Chinese Papermaking Method". He gave a relatively detailed account of the origin of Xuan paper, water used for papermaking, Xuan paper quality, and the uses of Xuan paper.
Later, someone from Japan came to Jingxian County and took great pains to get some tung oil tree branches in the Xuan paper production area of Jingxian County and asked the professor of the Department of Botany to identify them. However, because this tree does not grow in Japan, it was impossible to identify what kind of tree the branch was, so they had to give up.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937,
Japan took the opportunity of invading China and sent spies to southern Anhui many times to collect some tung oil tree seeds in Jingxian County and transported them back to Japan for careful planting. However, due to different climate, soil and other conditions, the quality of the tung oil tree bark grown was poor, and it could not be used to make high-quality Xuan paper. Poor ink wetting.
After the founding of New China until the 1970s. Due to well-known reasons, outsiders cannot enter the Xuan paper production area to steal the Xuan paper craft. The relevant countries can only buy Chinese Xuan paper in mainland my country and Hong Kong, and then use modern scientific methods to test the various components contained in Xuan paper. Many companies compete to imitate it, but they never get it right.
By the end of the 1970s. With the frequent exchanges between China and foreign countries, some countries have increased their efforts to collect information on Xuan paper in order to produce real Xuan paper. They have adopted various methods and tried every means to obtain relevant information and materials. Not only that, they also deliberately attempted to go deep into the production area of Xuan paper to directly obtain first-hand information. For example, Japan sent a "papermaking industry inspection team" to visit and inspect relevant factories in Jingxian, Anhui in 1986. Some of them took away some production raw materials and brought them back to their country for repeated research. They used various ingredient ratios to try to make real Xuan paper.
Fortunately, the Xuan paper produced by foreigners cannot compare with Chinese Xuan paper. At best, it can only be an imitation. Xuan paper needs to be produced in a specific climate environment to achieve the best quality. Its production requires water resources and other resources with specific material content. Only when these specific resource conditions are fully met can the quality of Xuan paper products reach the best. The production of Xuan paper requires specialized workers with specific skills to operate.
In the production process of Xuan paper, most of the operations can only be understood but not explained. They are passed down by word of mouth, which is impossible for foreigners to steal. The technical barrier is the subtlety of manual operation.
If it were not the case, the status of Xuan paper would have been replaced by Japanese imitations, just like Chinese porcelain.
Just when Fan Wubing packed up his things, said hello to Putin, and was ready to leave, Shen Ying suddenly put down the company's affairs and ran over.
After being separated for more than ten days, the couple naturally kissed each other fiercely when they met.
At the end, Shen Ying hugged Fan Wubing on the bed, rubbing his chest with her hairy head, and discussing things with him, such as the company's operations and future development.
"By the way, how about you take my sister with you when you go to Russia this time?" Shen Ying suddenly made a request.
"Your sister? Luo Lin?" Fan Wubing was very surprised and didn't understand Shen Ying's intention for a moment.
Recently, Shen Ying's mother has known about Luo Lin's existence, so she naturally had a big fight with Shen Peiming. However, because Shen Ying sympathized with Luo Lin's life experience and the two got along well, Shen's mother did not make a big fuss, but Shen Peiming felt a little headache.
Now Luo Lin is no longer in Fan Wubing's Fan Investment Group, but has gone to Shen Ying's Brahma Creation Network Entertainment Company to work. Assist Shen Ying in some daily management work.
There is only one thing, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. As the most important Spring Festival in Chinese tradition, everyone wants to reunite with their relatives. And Luo Lin, who is alone, is obviously a headache for Shen Ying. Because of Shen's mother, it is always inconvenient to bring her home for a reunion.
"So, you threw this hot potato to me?" Fan Wubing said with a wry smile.
"Help me, after all, she is your sister-in-law," Shen Ying said while rubbing against Fan Wubing, "I heard that the sister-in-law is very tempting to her brother-in-law.
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? !" Fan Wubing glared at her and said.
Although Fan Wubing has many girlfriends, he doesn't care about the number and never messes around outside, not to mention that it is taboo, which is absolutely impossible.
In any case, Fan Wubing agreed to Shen Ying's request and took Xilin to Moscow by plane.
Putin has indeed had some problems recently. The opposition has been jumping up and down very rampantly, which makes him very annoyed. The chaotic situation made him think of many things when he ran for the Russian presidency.
On January 12, 2000, more than 200 Russian celebrities gathered at the Presidential Hotel in Moscow and formally nominated Acting President Putin as the presidential candidate in the name of the Citizens' Initiative Group. When the host announced the news, the audience burst into warm applause. , people firmly believe that Putin is in an advantageous position in the presidential election, and the key lies in whether he can take advantage of the situation and make a concerted effort.
Primakov was originally regarded as Putin's number one opponent, but on February 4, he announced his withdrawal from the election through a televised statement.
Primakov's withdrawal from the election was helpless. After the Duma election, Primakov's support rate continued to decline, and his ranking among presidential candidates dropped to third. After that, he suffered another heavy blow. First, Yeltsin suddenly stepped down, bringing the time forward, so that Primakov lost precious time to regroup. Then. The backyard of the Union of Center Forces caught fire. The leaders of the All-Russian Movement collectively decided to support Putin's presidential campaign. The split of the Union of Center Forces. Primakov lost the political foundation he could rely on. .
Misfortunes never come alone. At the new Duma plenary session held on January 18, the Solidarity Union reached a secret deal with the Russian Communist Party. It supported the main leader of the Russian Communist Party, Seleznev, to be re-elected as the chairman of the Duma, forcing Primakov, who was preparing to compete for this position, to withdraw from the competition. The failure to compete for the chairmanship of the Duma completely ruined Primakov's hope of running for the presidency.
One of Putin's most dangerous competitors was eliminated, and among the ten opponents who participated in the presidential election with Putin, another opponent was Zyuganov, who was then the chairman of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party.
Soon, Putin formed his own think tank to help him put forward a more realistic campaign platform in the presidential election, formulate major policies suitable for Russia's national conditions, and improve his political image. Most of the people in this think tank were Putin's They were personally selected by Putin, and they came from many.
The number one person in Putin's think tank is Mikhail Kasyanov. The first deputy prime minister and finance minister promoted by Putin after he became acting president was only 42 years old at the time and could speak fluent English. For Western financial circles, he is a familiar and trustworthy person. His main job is to handle the tense relationship between Russia and the International Monetary Fund.
Chubais is Putin's political adviser and the commander-in-chief of the presidential campaign. Putin's major political and economic policies need Chubais' help. He said that Putin's top priority is to vigorously strengthen the functions of key departments of the country and crack down on corporate crimes and illegal activities.
Although Chubais was abused by some people in Russia, he is a shrewd political management talent. In 1996. He helped Yeltsin win the election and be re-elected. In addition to running United Energy Company, he also helped manage Putin's campaign.
There is another important person in Putin's think tank-Sergey Ivanov, his former KGB colleague, who has been holding important positions beside Putin since Putin came to power.
In 1990, Putin left the KGB and entered the government, while Ivanov continued to work in the intelligence department, and his position rose steadily.
In November 1999, Putin appointed Ivanov, then deputy director of the Federal Security Service, as secretary of the Russian National Security Council in the name of the Russian Prime Minister. Under Ivanov's leadership, the National Security Council formulated a controversial new national security concept. This revised concept lowered the threshold for Russia to use nuclear weapons. And it clearly pointed out that the West is a potential threat to Russia's security. Ivanov is also a staunch supporter of Putin's multipolar world theory.
Gref, a St. Petersburg lawyer, is Putin's penman. Like Putin, Gref can speak fluent German. He worked with Putin in the privatization planning department in the early 1990s when Putin was one of the heads of the St. Petersburg mayor's office. Gref's appointment reflects Putin's thinking from another perspective, regarding the paternalistic capitalist model adopted by post-war German economic development as a possible path for Russia's development.
Putin's think tank attaches great importance to their work. They believe that image is more important than politics. The think tank must be independent of political parties and actions. Its main job is to collect and summarize ideologies and organize them for future use.
The think tank is always waiting by Putin's side, waiting for the president to determine the direction of action. This think tank composed of elites has managed Putin's campaign in an orderly manner, and Putin's advantage in being elected president is getting bigger and bigger.
On February 25, Putin issued an "Open Letter to Russian Citizens" to let voters know his campaign platform and respond to his previously aggressive opponent Zyuganov.
In this letter, Putin elaborated on the priority policies he would pursue, which can be summarized as: "Win the Chechen War. Strengthen the country's status, fight crime and eliminate poverty." These all touched the hearts of voters.
On March 26, 2000, the presidential election of the Russian Federation was held as scheduled. As expected: in the first round of elections, Putin won 53% of the votes, which not only gave Putin the state power, but also the power to choose allies and partners, so that he could carry out major political and economic reforms. Russia has since entered the Putin era.
But now, these defeated generals are ready to move again, and some different voices have emerged among some of his collaborators or supporters who originally belonged to his camp. The opposition in the local forces is also challenging the determination of the Russian central government, which makes him feel very difficult.
It can be said that a large part of the various disputes in the recent Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation were caused by these oppositions, in order to drag down Putin from the economic aspect and make him lose in the upcoming presidential election.
However, Fan Wubing's arrival cheered him up and felt that the turning point of things may have appeared.
