Reborn Oligarchs 1991 - v4 Chapter 732

“Sir,” Sitting in the speeding jeep, Polaninov turned around and said to Guo Shouyun, who was sitting in the back seat, holding a schedule he just got from the secretariat just before he left the headquarters. “When you go to Beijing this time, according to the coordination arrangements made by Moscow, Beijing and our own tripartite integration, you should end your entire trip within seven days and return to Khabarovsk on the morning of next Monday. “

“Hehe, my Polaninov,” Guo Shouyun said absentmindedly while sitting in the back seat, watching the streetscape outside the window, “I went abroad for two days for leisure, but you took me My schedule is so full, so apart from work, do I have some personal leisure time?”

“Sir, you can go to many places for leisure,” Polaninov said with a slight smile, “but going to Beijing is the most inappropriate choice, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for you, I will That’s how it was arranged. Of course, this is also the common opinion of Mrs. Nina and the others. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can negotiate with several ladies. “

“Hmph, Nina’s opinion?” Turning his head, Guo Shouyun smiled, “I don’t think that’s the case, right? Why do I always feel that there is Ye Liena’s shadow in it.”

“Of course,” Polaninov said without arguing, he nodded, “this was also suggested by Miss Yelena.”

Guo Shouyun smiled and said nothing.

The hot and cold September passed quickly in the rush of work and peaceful life. After a week of arrangements, the Moscow side finally received the final notice of the official start of the trip to Beijing. In the previous two or three days, Guo Shouyun I went to Vladivostok once and spent a sweet and warm time with Yelena.

Looking back now, Guo Shouyun still remembers what Yelena had said to him, and according to this woman, when she went to Beijing this time, she should avoid staying too long. At the same time, try to avoid private meetings with high-level officials in Beijing.

Why did Yelena make such a suggestion? Guo Shouyun himself can also figure out the root cause. It is very simple. Three points: First, from 1993 to the present, nearly four years. Washington’s policy toward Beijing has changed from a vague outline to a clear context. The White House is full of concerns about Zhongnanhai’s ambitions. In order to prevent China from expanding its influence internationally, especially in East Asia, the Clinton administration has successively adopted measures against Beijing. Several tough measures were taken. Among them, including human rights issues, trade issues and other items, have caused great trouble for Beijing’s diplomatic environment. Under such circumstances, if Guo Shouyun stays in Beijing for too long this time and holds private meetings with high-level officials in Beijing, it is very likely that it will attract strong dissatisfaction from Washington. Thus causing trouble for the Far East. Second, all political forces in Russia are now staring at Beijing, and everyone knows it. Yeltsin chose to visit Beijing at this time, and his fundamental intention was to seek political support from Beijing. At this point, Guo Shouyun must grasp his position – he is a member of the giant alliance, and his relationship with the Kremlin is only a collusion based on the internal interests of the federation, rather than a force controlled by external factors joint. If at this stage, Guo Shouyun can’t grasp his position well, then it is very likely that a new round of obvious conflicts will be triggered within the federation. Those with ulterior motives are also very likely to use this opportunity to make things difficult for the Far East. third. Beijing’s current situation is also complicated. According to the news from the south, at present, the First Plenary Session of the 15th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is under intense preparations and preparations. According to the previously issued meeting procedures, there will be three hot personnel issues at this meeting: the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee The committee will re-nominate and approve the list of main members of the Central Secretariat; decide on the list of members of the Central Military Commission; elect the new secretary, deputy secretary and members of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection through the first plenary meeting of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection candidate. There is no doubt that such a major personnel change heralds a transition of power in Beijing, at a time when the situation is still unclear. The deeper Guo Shouyun goes to Beijing to wade, the more likely he will be passive at some point in the future.

Whether engaging in politics or diplomacy, you must have the strongest and most sensitive awareness. If you can’t do this, anyone who rushes into it will end up dead without a burial.

“Sir,” Polaninov continued, looking at the brooding boss, “Mr. Shoucheng will temporarily take over for you while you are away from Khabarovsk. But he came to headquarters this morning. Once. Said that in the past two days, he will go to Pyongyang with Mrs. Seong Yeon.”

“Oh? What are you doing there?” Guo Shouyun said with a frown.

“Mr. Shoucheng has already explained this issue,” Polaninov said. “According to what he said. In two days. It will be Mrs. Shengyan’s grandfather’s sacrifice. According to the customs there. On this day, their family needs to go back to the tomb and worship their ancestors.”

“Oh. I see.” Guo Shouyun nodded. said. “Let’s go then. But remember to tell Shoucheng. Let him go and return early. The situation in North Korea has been unstable recently. Again. Now, all North Koreans are poor and white beggars. Hopefully at this juncture. He’ll bring me back with another request for assistance.”

Listen to what your boss has to say. Polaninov couldn’t help but feel like he wanted to laugh. He knew where Guo Shouyun’s words came from.

Just in September of the year before. The Guo Group has provided North Korea with arms and supplies worth over $50 million. According to the agreement reached between the group and the Korean People’s Army Procurement Committee. The procurement cost of this batch of arms materials. The land should be paid off in one lump sum before June this year. But until now. The financial department of the Guo Group also did not receive the funds for the procurement of arms and materials from Pyongyang. in other words. since doing business. Guo Shouyun, a giant in the Far East. It was the first time I was slapped by someone.

Of course. As a country to military procurement. North Korea is unlikely to default on purchases from the Kwok Group for no apparent reason. After all, they need arms from the Far East and the Russian Federation. More political support from friends in the northwest is needed. available under the current circumstances. North Korea is indeed unable to pay the funds. In accordance with what the head of their procurement delegation said. Now, let alone 50 million in Pyongyang. Even if it is 10 million, they can’t come up with it. If you have this money. The Pyongyang government prefers to use it to buy food. This is to alleviate the unprecedented large-scale famine in the country.

Since last summer, North Korea has experienced a nationwide famine on an unprecedented scale. According to the information from the foreign trade company of the Guo Group, in September last year, the domestic per capita daily ration supply in North Korea was less than 100 grams, and by this year’s In September, Pyongyang, the country with the richest food supply, only had 50 grams of daily rations per capita. From south to north, from east to west, the entire North Korea is shrouded in the horror of famine. Last year, 500,000 people died of famine in the whole of North Korea. By September this year, this number has approached one million. Just imagine, Under such circumstances, how can Pyongyang have the money to pay for the $50 million in arms purchases it owes?

During this period of time, Guo Shouyun received several aid groups from Pyongyang. Every time these guys came over, they threw their cheeks away, almost gluttonously enjoying the gourmet food and beverages provided by the Guo Group, and at the same time chatted endlessly asking the Guo Group what they wanted. Funds and food aid, from the perspective, it seems that the Guo Group owes them tens of billions of loans and has not repaid.

To be honest, Guo Shouyun despises these ungrateful Goryeo sticks full of disgust in the back of his heart. If it weren’t for international issues, and there was a younger brother and sister from North Korea who was overflowing with sympathy at home, he would have been waving it long ago. The big stick is driving people away—original, you are starving to death because of the famine, you have no money to buy food, but you have to expand the army, and millions of troops are placed there, which are not suitable for the agricultural famine, and eat food for nothing. Besides, if you don’t have money to buy food, how can Pyongyang have the money to build that memorial hall for so-and-so? Also spent five million dollars at one time? Since there is a famine, what kind of artificial grass movement are you still engaged in? So in the final analysis, the famine of Goryeo Bangja was created by himself to play with himself, and it is not worthy of anyone’s sympathy.

Resentment returned to resentment in his heart, reluctance to reluctance, after several negotiations back and forth, especially under Li Shengyan’s repeated pleas, Guo Shouyun finally gave generously and extended a helping hand to North Korea. A few months ago, the Guo Group provided a large amount of food aid to Pyongyang, including 2 million tons of corn and nearly 3 million tons of wheat. At the same time, the Far East Commercial Bank also provided Pyongyang with 40 million US dollars in financial assistance. Internationally, this is the largest exception for a single enterprise to provide economic assistance to a country.

“Well, yes, Polaninov,” after pondering for a while, Guo Shouyun seemed to suddenly think of something, he leaned over, patted the secretary on the shoulder, and said, “I gave the secretariat to do it some time ago. Did they come up with that investment letter of intent? It’s been almost a month, if you didn’t mention it today, I would have almost forgotten about it.”

“Oh, are you talking about the letter of intent for investment in the Musan Iron Mine?”

“Well, that’s it,” Guo Shouyun said with a nod.

“It’s already done,” Polaninov replied. “It’s just that there was no problem with Mr. during this time, so they handed me the letter of intent, and it’s locked in my safe now.”
