After deliberating for a moment, the woman finally said, "Mr. Westeros, what do you think of this Russian presidential election?"

Seeing that the woman came up with another question that was not nutritious, Simon shook his head directly: "Tanya, I think we should be more direct. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Tanya.

It was Tanya again.

Is there that intimacy between us?

The woman slandered slightly, and finally said: "Mr. Westeros, we found that the spokesperson of the Westeros system, Mr. Mikhail Friedman's development layout in Russia in recent years seems to be unsatisfactory. And In this general election, without accident, my father can be re-elected. So, if Mr. Westeros wants to further develop in Russia, maybe we can become allies?"

Simon finally showed some expressions that seemed to be interested: "Who are we referring to?"

The woman said: "The Westeros family, the Yeltsin family."

Chapter 941

In the dimly lit study room, Simon looked again at the short-haired woman who was actually the second daughter of Yeltsin, with a slightly absurd expression: "Tanya, do you know that there is a Chinese idiom that fits your mentality at this time, to the effect that I was so sick that I started looking for a doctor indiscriminately."

Tatyana Diachenko, who follows her second husband's surname, doesn't know what it means to go to the doctor in a hurry, but she can understand that the man on the other side has bad words.

However, after the initial hesitation and confusion, the woman also calmed down at this time, remembering her father's advice before this trip, straightened up again, looked at Simon, and said, "Mr. Westeros, since you heard I can give such a response to the suggestion I just made, instead of the ecstatic or hypocritical responses of ordinary businessmen and politicians, which shows that there is a high possibility of us reaching cooperation."

"I know what you want, Tanya, but if we reach a cooperation, how can you be sure that I will keep my promise in the future?"

"My father has been watching you, Mr. Westeros," Tatiana said, still looking at Simon, "He said that now you have completely left your identity as a businessman and entered another level. The entire Westeros business The system is currently an economy capable of competing with most countries in the world. However, the status of the Westeros system is actually not stable, so you will spare no effort to carry out global deployment in these years, and you will suddenly launch a campaign in Africa. Only when there is a war, will it take a great risk to interfere in the US mid-term elections, it will buy a large piece of land in Tasmania in Australia, and it will operate a base like Rivne State in Ukraine. All these are actually for the sake of Stabilize the foundations of the Westeros system."

"Does this have anything to do with the question I just asked?"

"Of course, these all show that you are very clear about where you are at this time, because you have too much, and there are always a lot of unknowable potential risks around the Westeros system, so you need a deeper foundation, and, more Many allies. My family’s current situation is indeed not very good, but there are still many bargaining chips that can be given to Mr. Westeros. In the future, if Mr. Westeros does not want to let other allies renounce, he will definitely attach great importance to his promise , and, the key is, you also have enough power to get rid of the influence of the national position to fulfill the promise."

Simon, who was leaning on the sofa, heard what the woman opposite said, raised his legs, and his posture became more casual, and asked: "In this case, Tanya, what kind of chips do you think you can give me?"

"Russian Telecom Investment Joint Stock Company is preparing for privatization, Mr. Westeros, we know that the main layout of the Westeros system in Russia is the two major fields of telecommunications and steel. If you agree, my father can personally intervene and transfer this company The company plans to sell 25% of the shares to Friedman's Alpha Group," Tatiana said, and then added: "This is just a gift."

Because he had seen some overviews of the layout of the Westeros system in Russia before arriving, Simon also knew about it.

Rostelecom Investment Joint Stock Company is a large state-owned telecommunications holding company that the Yeltsin government just integrated last year. It owns more than 20 telecommunications subsidiaries, large and small.Therefore, the privatization of this company is a piece of fat that the major oligarchs in Russia are closely watching.

At this stage, the two most powerful oligarchs in Russia, Berezovsky and Potanin, have secretly started to compete for the privatization shares of this state-owned telecom giant.

Given the chaotic state of Russia at this time, getting 25% of the shares and installing high-level corporate executives is actually enough to achieve absolute control over this state-owned telecommunications giant. Each by means.

According to the information that Simon has read, the actual value of Russia Telecom Investment Joint Stock Company is about 200 billion to 300 billion US dollars.

No matter how good the relationship between the oligarchs and the Yeltsin authorities is, if they want to take over the business, the quotation for 25% of the shares will be around 20 billion US dollars.

A deal of US$20 billion is definitely not small for Simon now.

And it's just a 'meeting ceremony'.

In fact, Simon began to weigh quickly in his mind when the woman on the other side said the words of seeking an alliance.

As far as Yeltsin is concerned.

This kind of behavior is indeed like what Simon said, it is completely a bit like going to the doctor in a hurry.

However, Simon also fully understands the mentality of the Yeltsin family at this time.

Historically, Yeltsin frequently changed six prime ministers in just four years during his second term, which shows that the other party was almost restless and anxious.

how so?

Because Yeltsin knows exactly what he has done during his eight years in power, and how many public grievances and political enemies he has accumulated.Choosing a prime minister is actually choosing one's own successor. Once the choice is wrong, the Yeltsin family will inevitably be brutally liquidated without mercy after he steps down.

This is one of the great political styles of the land.

Not even Stalin could escape the fate of being liquidated after his death, let alone others.

However, how easy is it to choose the right person?

If Stalin had chosen the right person, he would not have been whipped to death, so it was inevitable to consider other ways out.

For whatever reason, Simon became a target of this politician.

In fact, the opponent's analysis is correct.

Simon has now completely got rid of the category of a businessman. The huge Westeros system is now a separate economic entity that is more powerful and terrifying than the plutocrats. The field also has a decisive influence.

Such an independent and powerful force, if it is really willing to take action, is fully capable of giving the Yeltsin family enough shelter in the worst case in the future.

Of course Yeltsin would not be so stupid as to pin all his hopes on Simon.

However, if some intentions are really reached, this will definitely be a major retreat for the Yeltsin family.

Simon would have had no interest in forming an alliance with the Yeltsin family if certain things hadn't been established.The traditional values ​​of the two generations made him instinctively dislike this family, but Simon's position at this time, such as morality, really doesn't matter.

It's better to hug grass and beat rabbits.

After a brief moment of silence, Simon finally spoke again, but shook his head and said, "Tanya, I'm not interested in the privatization of China Telecom Investment Co. I won't do such useless work."

Tatyana was a little surprised, and said with a little excitement: "Mr. Westeros, it doesn't look like you should have a decision?"

"You think I should fight Berezovsky and Potanin against the two oligarchs for the shares of this company?"

"Mr. Westeros, you should know who Berezovsky and Potanin are standing behind the scenes. In Europe and the United States, the strength of the Westeros system is far behind those capital consortiums."

"I'm not talking about the capital consortiums in Europe and the United States, but only in Russia. In my opinion, the greed of these oligarchs has completely lost their reason and awe. I don't like to entangle with these people who have no bottom line. In fact, The problem still lies with your father, as the most powerful person in this country, your father can't even suppress these oligarchs, it's not just a failure that can be described."

Tatiana concealed the displeasure in her heart, and some weakness flashed across her face: "Mr. Westeros, you should understand that in his position, my father has been very difficult these years. If it wasn't for this country, he It's not as bad now."

Simon didn't even bother to ridicule when he heard the woman's words 'for this country'. He tapped his fingers silently on the armrest of the leather sofa, and suddenly gestured to the whiskey on the coffee table: "Tanya, pour me a glass."

The woman on the opposite side didn't get what Simon would say suddenly.

That commanding tone made her even more uncomfortable.

However, probably instinctively realizing that the matter was at a critical moment, Tatiana hesitated a little, and finally stood up, poured a glass of whiskey for the man opposite, and asked, "Do you want more ice?"

"Ok."

So I added two more ice cubes and handed them over.

"Thank you."

Simon took the glass and said so.

Tatyana paused slightly as she retreated back to her sofa, and some small grievances dissipated inexplicably.Sitting down again, he looked at the man who was sipping liquor lightly across from him. He had a handsome face, a calm demeanor, and a calm attitude. Some other emotions welled up in his heart for some reason.

The kind of emotion a woman feels towards a man.

However, of course, she didn't think of any indication that she was 36 years old this year. Although she seemed to be the same age as someone's wife, her appearance was much worse.Even if he knew some preferences of this man in terms of women, he had no confidence that the other party would be interested in her.

Moreover, the status of the other party is not comparable to those beautiful men who have clinging thoughts because of her status.

Simon deliberated for a moment, looked at Tatiana on the opposite side, ignored her subconsciously shaking and dodging eyes when he looked over, and said, "Tanya, since you know that I will appear here tonight, then, in this villa Do you pay attention to the others?"

Tatyana looked puzzled.

Simon smiled and said, "It seems that there are no more."

"Of course not, the current mayor Sobchak, I still know. Mr. Westeros, frankly speaking, my father doesn't like this man very much."

"Yeah, I also know that the reason why Sobchak lost the election this time is also due to Moscow's intervention."

"Mr. Westeros, what are you trying to say?"

"Tell me about your family's future."

"Ok?"

Simon took another sip of the spirits in his glass, and said slowly: "Let me talk about my views on Russia's political situation first. Your father can win this election. However, this can only bring temporary stability to your family. In the long run, your father needs to prepare for four years after he takes office. The key is the position of prime minister. Because this person will run for office as your father's successor in four years, and bring your family Come to bless me, am I right?"

For some reason, Tatyana didn't have any intention of confronting the man opposite, and nodded frankly: "That's right."

"Then let's talk about the position of Prime Minister." Simon adjusted his legs and continued: "This is a key. With the influence your father has at this time, with all due respect, even if he fully supports it in the future, it will not It may not necessarily help the other party win the election, and may even have a counterproductive effect. Moreover, if this person is not as loyal to your father and your family as you imagined, think about Stalin, then, even if he came to power, he would not be as loyal as he thought. It doesn't necessarily protect your family, or even, on the contrary."

A flicker of fear flashed in Tatyana's eyes.

Almost no one in this country does not know what happened to Stalin after his death.And Tatiana knew better that the situation her father and her family were in was a hundred times worse than that of Stalin back then.

Moreover, Stalin was only liquidated after his death.

The Yeltsin family, all alive.

Simon continued: "Going one step further, even if your father succeeds in helping this person rise to power, and he is loyal enough, but if this person's ability is too mediocre, he may still be powerless if he wants to protect your family in the future."

After saying this, without waiting for the woman opposite to react, Simon raised his free left hand and raised three fingers one by one: "Look, one, two, three, Tanya, have you ever played video games? In game terms, three consecutive fingers They are almost all nightmare-level levels, and the probability of passing them all, in my opinion, is almost zero."

Tatyana looked at Simon's raised three fingers, and the weakness in her tone this time came from the heart: "Mr. Westeros, according to what you said, my family can now prepare to go into exile."

"Speaking of exile, those politicians in exile in Africa and Latin America, when they arrive in Europe and the United States, they are all a piece of fat in the mouths of governments."

"Mr. Westeros, are you raising your price through intimidation?"

"Tanya, I'm just analyzing the facts."

"and then?"

"That's the end." Simon put the wine glass on the side table, finally sat up some body, and said, "Tanya, don't you want to form an alliance? I'll give you a chance, let's take a look at your family now How dare you bet. If you bet right, your family will still be able to stand at the top of the country’s pyramid for at least the next 30 years. Correspondingly, the Westeros system will also get the benefits it deserves. If you bet wrong, it’s very Sorry. Of course, I have nothing to lose."

Tatyana's eyes widened slightly, and after a brief shutdown, they were instantly brightened, and there was a little trembling in her voice: "You..."

"You're right, but you're also wrong." Simon nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "You're right, yes, I did see a candidate, and he's in this villa now. I think The wrong thing is that he is not my puppet, in fact, if he really reaches that position in the future, he will not be anyone's puppet at all, just like you, this time you just want to form an alliance with me, not to be attached."

Tatiana didn't speak, but just stared at Simon, as if judging the truth.

"As I said, this may be the only way out for your family, because this man, he is capable and loyal enough, and I have a complete plan for him to succeed in the unfavorable situation brought about by your father." , and the entire Westeros system as a backing."

Having said this, Simon leaned back on the back of the sofa chair, and continued: "Tanya, I'm done talking, believe it or not is your own business. After tonight, I will arrange for him to go to Moscow. As for the position, You can give it whatever you want, your father still has... well, three years to observe and make your own decision."

"Why three years?"

"Because he needs to be given enough time to accumulate popularity, and, when the time comes, your father will need to give way in advance."

Tatyana said subconsciously: "This is impossible."

Simon smiled: "As I said, you have three years to observe and decide for yourself. I won't intervene. As for the meeting ceremony you just mentioned, I don't want it. It's too hot. In short, these are your own affairs. Now , you can leave first."

Chapter 942 Reaction

When Simon appeared at the reception in the lobby downstairs, the atmosphere was very lively. A certain little guy who didn't recognize himself at all seemed to be at ease in the crowd, and happened to say something, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing Simon, the little guy who was held in Girl A's arms immediately leaned over and called for his father to hug him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Of course everyone knows Simon Westeros.

Everyone at the scene is here for each other tonight.

It's just that no one mentioned that this cute little girl is the daughter of Westeros. The guests who knew about Simon's personal situation were even more puzzled, but none of them doubted it. With this young man's life style, It is normal to have one or two illegitimate daughters.

Simon took Nina and saw her bring a piece of nut muffin that he had just grabbed to his mouth, so he ate it in one bite and bit the child's little hand, which made the little girl giggle.

After interacting intimately, Simon whispered a few words to the child.

In fact, the little girl was taught by Shurshikina to be very sensible, but her personality is the opposite of her mother's extroversion type, she is not afraid of anything, and she likes to pester Simon very much.However, when he heard Simon's words solemnly expressing that he had business to discuss, he immediately nodded his head obediently, allowing Simon to send her back to Girl A's arms, and obediently waved to Simon to say goodbye.

After Girl A left with the child in her arms, Simon began to greet and socialize with everyone in the hall.

Those present tonight are mainly senior officials of the Leningrad Oblast, where St. Petersburg is located, and the backbone of the Westeros system's enterprises in Russia.

Simon is familiar with the historical trend of Russia.

Russia after the millennium was basically controlled by the former St. Petersburg Gang for 20 years.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Simon focused the operation of the Westeros system in Russia on St. Petersburg, rather than Moscow where the oligarchs gathered. A series of industries directly or indirectly controlled by the system in Russia, most of which are headquartered in St. Petersburg.

Over the years, one can imagine the relationship between the Westeros system and the yet-to-be-formed St. Petersburg Gang.

Because Simon will be present, the major political factions in St. Petersburg, who are clearly at war with each other, whether it is the team of the outgoing mayor of St. Petersburg or the team of the new mayor who was just elected, all appeared amicably tonight. At this reception.

And always pay attention to the movements of a certain young man in the hall.

After all, this young man's wealth and power are too strong, and the oligarchs in Russia are completely pediatrics in front of the other party.Add to that Simon Westero's operations in Ukraine as a point of reference, and it's hard to say whether St. Petersburg will be the next Rivney.

If this is the case, there will definitely be no harm in making friends with the other party at this time, and the other party's attitude towards everyone tonight may very well represent the future political structure of St. Petersburg.

Simon can roughly understand the mentality of everyone present, but is more cautious.
