Spring Breeze 1991

Zhan Sheng had nothing to worry about when Lao Jiang came out. There was no need to doubt the political consciousness and principledness of the old comrades. With the old comrades around, Liu Zhiyuan would not say anything.

For Yao Yuan, this is a good sign.

After packing up some simple clothes, Yao Yuan and the others followed Fang Neng and left the manor hotel.Fang Neng drove a uaz jeep, which is the follow-up model of the GAZ 69 jeep. Many people do not know the GAZ 69 jeep, but everyone in the country knows the 212 jeep.

The 212 jeep is a copy of the GAZ 69 jeep.

The uaz jeep is larger than the GAZ 69 jeep, and the ride comfort is better.In Kazakhstan, which is dominated by mountains, this kind of car couldn't be more suitable.

Of course, Yao Yuan didn't have the conditions to ride a BMW off-road vehicle, but there were already BMW off-road vehicles on the Russian market, not Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicles, but BMW off-road vehicles.

The distributor is Wing On Group.

Wing On Group started to open a car sales store in Moscow a year ago, and the products it sells are all domestic cars, including BMW off-road vehicles.

Of course, the sales volume is very small, and it is still in the development stage.

The group did not stay in the urban area of ​​Almaty before they could drive and drove all the way to the southwest along the border.

Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan actually face the same problem. The capitals of both countries are close to the border.

Almaty, the capital of the former, is only 24 kilometers away from the Kyrgyz border and 280 kilometers away from the Chinese border.From the perspective of national defense and military, such a geographical location is not suitable for the capital.

There were no security issues during the Soviet Union because it was in a powerful union state.After independence, he looked around in a daze. After the big brother (Russia) lay down, he could not protect himself. The younger brothers had to find ways to rely on their own strength to obtain national defense security.

Nazaryev's biggest motivation for moving the capital is here, and the location of his new capital is very close to Russia.

Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, is closer to the border, only 20 kilometers away.

But this country is so poor that it can't afford to move the capital at all. It can only muddle along. Moreover, the country's geographical location is not as important as Kazakhstan, and its population is not large. It only has 500 million people, which is the same level as China. The population of the city is about the same.

The southern border of Haji and the southwestern border are probably the most prosperous economic belts in Central Asia. If you go all the way to the west, you will be the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. This is the largest city in Central Asia and the fourth largest city in the Soviet Union. It is second only to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kyiv, among which Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine, and St. Petersburg was once the capital of Russia.

In the One Belt One Road strategy 20 years later, Tashkent is one of the very important fulcrum cities, and its radiating ability and influence ability in Central Asia are very large.

Yao Yuan said that he needed to do in-depth market research, so he made such a research route, going southwest, and then turning north to the Balkhash district, which is equivalent to returning to Almaty in a small circle, and four or five days is enough.

However, not long after leaving the city of Almaty, Yao Yuan said, "There should be a small town ahead, a small town at the foot of the mountain, let's stop there."

"Bull Town, a tourist attraction, the Soviets built a large number of nursing homes there, the environment is very good, and our Huaxia Chamber of Commerce often meets there." Fang Neng said like a few treasures.

When mentioning the sanatoriums established during the Soviet Union, many people first think of Crimea, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia and other countries with beautiful scenery. In fact, there are also very beautiful sanatoriums near Almaty.

The town of Boer was gradually formed because of the establishment of a sanatorium here. During the Soviet period, a large number of high-ranking Soviet officials recuperated and leisured here, and the people and facilities supporting them gradually formed a small town.

After the independence of Kazakhstan, it became a tourist and leisure resort.

Fang Neng didn't ask Yao Yuan why he had to stop to rest just after he left the city. He turned the steering wheel and drove into Bull Town, and what he saw was a well-organized villa hotel-style nursing home built in the woods.

Comrade Jiang, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the beautiful sanatorium and was full of emotion. He said, "The Communist Party of the Soviet Union was ruined because of its greed for enjoyment. Their cadres don't have to work for more than a month in a year, and they enjoy it completely." Free recuperation."

He shook his head and said, "It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to sit in the world!"

The reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union are very complicated, among which the corruption and rigidity of the CPSU system and the clear distinction of privileged classes are very important factors.

Old comrades can talk about this topic, and it doesn’t matter if they are wrong or right, but new comrades can’t take up the conversation. The big brother in the former socialist country is gone, because of what?

So far there is no official answer.

Chen Hai, who was sitting next to Lao Jiang, was in a difficult situation. He answered the words either not answering them or not.

At this time, Yao Yuan changed the subject and said, "Mr. Jiang, I may have to stay in Bull Town for a day or two. You might as well experience the sanatorium for senior Soviet officials."

"Aren't you going to investigate?" Lao Jiang asked strangely.

Yao Yuan pointed to the intersection in front of him to signal that he could turn right, turned his head and said with a smile, "There are some things that need to be dealt with, don't worry, you will know in a while."

Chen Hai hurriedly asked, "Old Yao, what's your situation, what can you do here."

Fang Neng was also very surprised, and said, "Officer Yao, do you have fellow villagers here?"

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone, relax and stop at the front building."

At this time, I could see a three-story compound building in front of it. The place was very large, and there were several people in black suits walking around in front of the lobby.

Before he had time to think about it, after stepping on the brakes to stop, a large group of people suddenly surrounded him from nowhere, and then he saw a group of people coming out of the lobby. Judging by their clothes and imposing manner, they knew that they were not ordinary people. There are many, and a considerable part of them are Eastern European faces.

"Get out of the car." Yao Yuan pushed the door and got out of the car.

The three of them didn't come back to their senses, but seeing the smiles on those people's faces, they didn't look like they were looking for trouble, so they all got out of the car nervously.

The elite staff in black suits are from the concierge department, some from inside the country and some from overseas, while a group of people filing out from the lobby are all princes of the Chunfeng Group.

Xiao Jiabing and Yu Yongan took the lead. Their status was second only to Lin Wei, and they were both veterans. More importantly, they knew Director Jiang.

Yao Yuan stood aside with a smile and said nothing.

Yu Yongan quickened his pace to meet Old Comrade Jiang who got off the car, and stretched out his hand from a distance, "Director Jiang, I am so excited to see you here."

Yongan Group is mainly engaged in foreign trade. To organize the export of domestic goods, this involves several ministries and commissions. Among them, the Economic and Trade Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation are very important roles. Yu Yongan has met with the bosses of these two ministries more than once. Yes, and Yu Yongan is also the president of the National Garment Manufacturing Association.

Comrade Lao Jiang recognized Yu Yongan at a glance. He was the deputy director of the Economic and Trade Commission at the time, and he had a good relationship with Yu Yongan.

"Yu Dong?" Old Comrade Jiang was very surprised.

Yu Yongan shook Comrade Jiang's hand enthusiastically, pointed to Xiao Jiabing who came over with a smile, and said, "There is also Mr. Xiao, you are familiar with Mr. Xiao, right?"

Lao Jiang took a closer look and was even more surprised, "Mr. Xiao, you, why are you here?"

Mr. Xiao Jiabing, chairman and president of Southern Industrial, controls much larger capital and enterprise scale than Yongan Group. The three super projects with a scale of more than [-] billion in construction in China are all owned by Southern Industrial. The leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission are of course I have visited it more than once, and of course I have held meetings with the helmsman Mr. Xiao Jiabing more than once, so I am very familiar with it.

"Hi, Director Jiang." Xiao Jiabing smiled and shook hands with Old Comrade Jiang.

Lao Jiang was completely in a state of confusion. Looking at it again, the people standing behind these two big men were all Chinese people, because they greeted each other in Chinese, and the Eastern Europeans standing behind also said hello in Russian. This is Almaty Ah, how come there are so many Chinese entrepreneurs?

Soon, Comrade Jiang found several familiar faces.

Hua Zhenghao of Yuanda Group, Zhou Fei of Headwind Logistics, and the bosses of several giant private enterprises such as Yuanhai Investment.

Chen Hai, who was also in a dazed state, also saw an acquaintance—Xue Zheng, general manager of New United Airlines.

Xue Zhengyuan is the director of Air China's operations department, and his rank is the same as Chen Hai's current rank.

Xue Zheng walked towards Chen Hai with a smile at this moment, stretched out his hand, and said, "Old Chen, long time no see."

"You, you, you, you, you, why are you here? Didn't you go into the sea?" Chen Hai knew that Xue Zheng had gone into the sea, but he didn't know that Xue Zheng had passed the test and became the general manager of the new United Airlines.

Xue Zheng smiled and said, "Talk slowly in a while, in short, you don't care about anything when you get here, leave it to me, you and my brother have a good drink or two."

Yao Yuan looked at it with a smile. These were all arranged so that it would be easier over there. Manager Deng had already gone over to chat with him.

Explanations are difficult to explain clearly, the situation is too complex, and it is difficult to believe.Therefore, Yao Yuan simply arranged for them to have a one-on-one reception with these acquaintances and former relatives, and let them explain separately.

In the next few days, Yao Yuan will personally command and fight for Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources. He doesn't have so much time to explain his identity, and he doesn't care about the future influence. At worst, the state officials will quit.

Yao Yuan left quietly, Lin Wei, He Xueli and others followed, surrounded Yao Yuan and walked into the nursing home, which has been taken over by Wing On Group.

With so many people walking away at once, Comrade Jiang was the first to notice that he was a veteran cadre who had experienced a long time after all. He quickly stabilized his emotions and quickly thought of a possibility. He looked at Xiao Jiabing and Yu Yongan and asked, " Is Xiao Yao your boss?"

Before the two could answer, Comrade Jiang said in a deep voice, "I always feel that the relationship between your two families is ridiculously good. Now it seems that there is a reason. The boss of both of you is Yao Yuan, right?"

Xiao Jiabing explained with a smile, "Director Jiang, A Yuan was still in school at the time. He didn't want to show his face, and we didn't want it to affect his life and studies. We didn't intend to hide it."

"That's right, Director Jiang, in fact, Ah Yuan seldom took care of the affairs of our two families, and later he simply became a national cadre." Yu Yongan said.

Comrade Jiang is about to retire, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the situation at all.What Du Zhiguo and the others are doing now, how could they hide from his predecessor.In fact, Comrade Lao Jiang has the opportunity to take another step forward. In that case, he can work for at least ten years.

It is precisely because of disagreement that he can only retire from the post of deputy director.

In other words, Comrade Lao Jiang supported the private economy, just as he supported the policy of individual farmland contracting in rural areas.

Comrade Lao Jiang knew that Yu Yongan wanted to pick Yao Yuan out by saying this, because Yao Yuan was the biggest boss behind him, and the next thing must be related to Yao Yuan.

Shaking his head helplessly, Old Comrade Jiang said, "I am an old man who is going to retire soon, so it is useless to tell me these things."

Xiao Jiabing said, "Director Jiang, these are trivial matters. It is rare to come to Almaty. I will rest here in the next few days. The nursing home run by the Soviets is not bad."

After speaking, he asked Comrade Jiang to go inside.

These people are all from Yao Yuan, and belong to one faction. Comrade Lao Jiang feels that they don't take the conservatives seriously at all, otherwise it would never be so easy.

How could it be a trivial matter?

Old Comrade Jiang saw a fat man walking beside Yao Yuan just now, and felt that the fat man looked familiar, so he asked, "Is the fat comrade who was with Xiao Yao...and Boss Yao just now, Mr. Lin Weilin?"

"Yes, it's Awei, the chief financial officer of our two companies, and also the chief executive of Chunfeng Group, Mr. Ayuan's accountant." Yu Yongan smiled.

Comrade Lao Jiang had never met Lin Wei, but he had seen his photo in a newspaper, and he couldn't help but say, "Some newspaper in Hong Kong seems to have made some kind of ranking list, and he is the number one, and the number one in the country." A rich man."

"Haha, the richest man in China, yes, yes, yes, it was made by a very powerful newspaper in Hong Kong, which is the same as the Forbes rich list." Yu Yongan laughed.

Comrade Jiang can't think anymore. The chief financial officer under him is the richest man in China. What about Xiao Jiabing, Yu Yongan, and Yao Yuan?

He didn't know Lin Wei's special status, he didn't know that Lin Wei was the number two of Chunfeng Group.

He remembers it very clearly, because it was the first time to rank domestic private entrepreneurs, and leaders of many ministries and commissions attached great importance to it.

According to the data disclosed on the ranking list, in 1994, Lin Wei's personal assets were as high as 13 billion Huaxia coins, and the second place was the one who sold health care products, with only 1.2 million yuan.

For the leaders of ministries and commissions that support the private economy, no matter how authentic the ranking data is, whether it is watery or underestimated, at least it can reflect the development status of private enterprises.

According to Lin Wei's personal assets of 13 billion Huaxia coins, Xiao Jiabing and Yu Yongan's assets are more than 13 billion Huaxia coins, but they used some means to get their names taken down by the newspaper.

Then, based on this inference, isn't Yao Yuan's personal assets more than 20 billion Huaxia coins?

Comrade Lao Jiang can't think at all, this concept is already difficult to understand...
