Reborn Oligarchs 1991

v4 Chapter 347: The supremacy of power politics

?Polaninov is a person who is not good at expressing his inner feelings, but as an agent from the KGB, he is very aware of the significance of the establishment of this "patriotic aid fund" by the Guo Group. The original KGB staff solved the life dilemma in the post-Soviet era, and at the same time, to a certain extent, played a role in flattening the name of the KGB.

Imagine, if the Guo Group officially came forward to establish a foundation aimed at subsidizing the former KGB staff and named it the "patriotic aid fund", it would mean that Guo Shouyun made his own assessment of the merits and demerits of the KGB. Statement----"patriotic", this is obviously a positive evaluation. And with his statement, there will definitely be some people who sympathize with the KGB, but are forced to remain silent under the pressure of public opinion to speak up. In this case, no matter how bad the situation is, it will constitute a A debate situation in public opinion, which is obviously a change worth celebrating for the millions of former KGB workers in the federation.

To be honest, after listening to Guo Shouyun's remarks, especially at the moment when he classified the KGB as a "patriotic" group, Polaninov's heart was particularly surging. He felt that the boss behind him was not just for the sake of He provided the peace of mind that we have today. At the same time, he is also his best confidant, a wise man who can look at today's era with a truly rational eye and a sober point of view. Polaninov felt honored to be by the side of such a person -- at this moment. After Polaninov left the KGB, he once again found spiritual sustenance, and this spiritual sustenance, expressed in the words of KGB staff, is "faith".

Guo Shouyun certainly has all kinds of viciousness. But there is one thing, that is, he is basically a man of his word. He promised to invest $25 million to create a "patriotic aid fund," and that was a done deal. Twenty-five million US dollars was not a small sum of money in the early 1990s, not to mention that this fund existed in the form of a fund. With the expansion of investment projects and gradually increasing value, if Guo Shouyun personally came forward to preside over this fund, with his investment vision, it is estimated that within a few years, the 25 million will double several times. As for Say what a problem that money can solve. It's really hard to say.

Of course. Guo Shouyun's establishment of such a fund is not necessarily a real grievance for those retired KGB agents. More than 20 million US dollars in funds is not a small amount. For a capitalist like him, investment that does not bring returns is always possible. Can't do it. As for what kind of benefits this investment can bring to the Guo Group, we may not be able to see it now, but in the near future. Guo Shouyun believes that he will reap a lot of money.

Standing quietly in front of the clear and bright glass window. Guo Shouyun overlooked the city of Khabarovsk in the sunshine outside the window, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth---- he knew. Polaninov will soon get in touch with those in the "Chika Club", and at the same time, he will also convey the position of the Guo Group. Now, regardless of who manipulated and established this mysterious club that rose invisibly, and no matter what attitude these manipulations have towards the Guo Group, in a word, after Polaninov conveyed Guo's attitude to the past, this new A club that has risen and is destined to make great achievements in the future will definitely consider establishing an alliance based on goodwill and understanding with the Guo family, otherwise, it will directly face the crisis of the first round of internal division.

Originally, in the current situation, on the one hand, people in the world have denounced the KGB; The huge predicament faced, on the other hand, is the selfless support of the Guo Group. Faced with the comparison of one cold and one hot, one relative and one estranged, it would be an outright lie to say that not half of the members of the Cheka club are tempted. Under such circumstances, if the organizations of those clubs do not accept the goodwill of the Guo Group, or even stubbornly oppose Guo Shouyun, the only possible consequence is that the club will have internal disagreements and eventually collapse, not to mention others. In the case of Polaninov, he will certainly be alienated from the club. As a representative middle- and lower-level personnel of the original KGB, Polaninov's sad withdrawal will inevitably lead to a series of reactions, so it is difficult to estimate where the newly emerging Cheka club will go.

The most important thing is that the moment Guo Shouyun learned about the Cheka Club, he had already made up his mind to set up a "patriotic aid fund". It is blunt to say that whether the Cheka Club accepts his kindness or not, this way He will go on firmly - it's best if his kind-hearted counterpart can accept it, otherwise, if he doesn't accept it, then Guo Shouyun will start anew. What's amazing, now Guo's needs capital and capital, influence and influence, with the support of capital and goodwill, it may not be so difficult to build a brand new Cheka club.

Preventing potential adversaries from becoming real adversaries is the self-evident supremacy of power politics. It is based on this principle that when Guo Shouyun treated the Cheka club, he only prepared a two-handed plan: either erode it, draw it into his ally, or even make it his own, or eat it and make it Not being able to pose a real threat to yourself...it's that simple. In addition, the question of whether the KGB is patriotic or harmful to the country, whether this era is fair or unfair, etc., are all grand and flashy excuses.

Just as Guo Shouyun imagined, Polaninov, who was deeply inspired by his understanding, transferred the attitude of the Guo Group to Moscow in the afternoon through the channels he mastered. Similarly, as Guo Shouyun guessed As a result, there was a great disagreement within the Moscow headquarters of the Cheka Club on whether to accept the Guo Group's sponsorship and establish further ties with the Guo Group.

Although the Cheka Club has the word "club" in its name, in terms of organizational form, it is more like a "round table" organization. At present, the club has a standing committee, which is similar to the Soviet Congress of the original KGB, except that there is no chair or other position within the committee. All members are equal, and the decision-making of the committee is based on democratic centralism. principle, with the minority obeying the majority as the basic decision rule. Any major decision in the club must be voted by the twenty-five members of the committee. According to the basic principles that the KGB has always pursued, any member can only make two diametrically opposite choices during voting, namely: Yes, or yes, no abstention is allowed. At the same time, for any vote, the voting members must take responsibility for their own choices. There is no doubt that the implementation of this principle is equivalent to putting forward very strict requirements for each committee member. Under the constraints of this principle, no one can escape or shirk responsibility.

In the face of Polaninov's message, there were two very different opinions in the committee: opposition and support. The reasons for objection are very good: first, Guo Shouyun is an "outsider", as an immigrant from China, he has no right to participate in the decision-making of major federal issues; secondly, Guo Shouyun is a "bad person" who is in the process of overthrowing the Bolshevik Party and disintegrating the Soviet Union. His actions contributed to the further deterioration of the situation; thirdly, Guo Shouyun was an "enemy". In the process of starting his career, he was suspected of participating in the wanton capture of national wealth, tax evasion, bribery and manipulation. Power and many other crimes, therefore, fundamentally, he belongs to the enemy of the club and should be one of the targets that the club focuses on eliminating.

In response to these reasons for opposition, support has also given corresponding rebuttals. Their reasons are also very good: Guo Shouyun is an outsider, but when it comes to decision-making on major issues of the Federation, he is not the longest hand. Compared with those American advisers who lead the country's reform, he at least still has Russian nationality; Guo Shouyun is a "bad guy". But then again, under the impact of that social thought at that time, who did not make the wrong decision? If nothing else, let's talk about the KGB personnel themselves. When hundreds of radicals supported the storming of the headquarters of the Security Committee, there were more than 2,000 staff with guns in the headquarters. What did everyone do at that time? When the Radical Guards arrested Comrade Kryuchkov, what did the well-trained Guardsmen around him do? Under such circumstances, as the original "treason" and a member of the KGB club, what reason do you have to denounce Guo Shouyun as an "outsider"? It is true that Guo Shouyun is an "enemy", but now this enemy is a more decent one compared to the other enemies of all kinds. What's more, if you follow the KGB's guilt criteria, who is the current federal political and business circle? Not "enemy"? The probity investigation procedure of the former Soviet Union clearly stipulated that the annual salary of the state leaders should not exceed 150,000 rubles, the annual salary of ministers at all levels and the speakers of the two chambers should not exceed 90,000 rubles, and the annual salary of Soviet members at the state level should not exceed 50,000 rubles. KGB investigators conduct their investigations under these rules when assessing whether officials at all levels have huge unexplained assets. And what about today? As the federal president, Mr. Ye's annual salary is as high as $500,000 to $700,000. He owns 16 properties in Moscow, all of which are registered in his private name. As for officials at other levels of the government, there is no need for that. Having said that, it's just a **** guy in the end. Under such circumstances, who can condemn such an "outsider" as Guo Shouyun with charges such as theft of state assets and bribery?
