? Guo Shouyun's remarks clearly spoke to Khodorkovsky's heart, he hesitated for a while, and finally sat back on the sand again. /. qb5, ~~~~

Indeed, as Guo Shouyun said, whether Khodorkovsky, Vinogradov, or even himself, the hegemon of the Far East, are the same kind of people. , on the one hand, they have the same basis of interests, on the other hand, they also have the same political philosophy.

As Khodorkovsky said in an interview with the American magazine "The New Yorker", his life was divided into three parts: the youth of a typical Soviet citizen, taking everything the state instilled as right. , never considering why or what is abnormal in the society, people follow what others say, go with the flow; in the rising years of social turmoil, crazy think that nothing is right, no matter what you do, there is never right or wrong, There are also no worthless moral problems, and I never think that there is a real law in this country. The ultimate criterion for measuring all problems is whether it is beneficial to oneself; in today's enlightened era, people have begun to pay more attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, and more Pay more attention to the issue of federal development, and have a systematic idea of ​​governing the country, hoping to lead the country out of the predicament through its own decision-making, and at the same time, it has produced more power.

Khodorkovsky's psychological transformation journey is like this, Vinogradov's psychological transformation journey is also like this, and Guo Shouyun, there is no doubt that he has always been like this. After the long journey from disintegration to complete economic and political collapse, the three giants have experienced a "local governance" experience. All have a series of mature thinking systems that they lead the country's major policies and guidelines. To put it bluntly, they are the first enlightened politicians who emerged from the frenzied accumulation, and while they forged a deep friendship with each other, a new federal political faction is also quietly and slowly forming. .

Speaking of which, this is really a very emotional thing. Just a dozen years ago, based on the same political philosophy, Victor, Sobchak, and Zyuganov came together. The political faction they formed together affects the entire Russian Federation political arena in the post-Soviet era. It is safe to say that no matter which faction is present in the current federal political arena. They are all inextricably linked with the political forces they formed at the beginning, and most of them are even differentiated from this whole. As a "local tycoon" who got up and the Far East, Guo Shouyun's political career can be said to be led by Victor step by step. Fundamentally speaking, these two people have a lot in common - insidious, indifferent , long-sighted, ambitious, resourceful, etc., and the paths they chose, there are also striking similarities. In more ways. Victor, Guo Shouyun. This is the exact same historical cycle in different eras. If Izumi knew, Victor should be able to rest his eyes. Because Guo Shouyun, the son-in-law who made him feel uneasy until his death, finally went his old way.

"It's been almost eight years since I started my business in the Far East," Guo Shouyun said in a deep tone, taking the shoulders of his two old friends again, "and in the past eight years, the Far East has grown from a population of less than eight million. , The backward region with a total GDP of less than 60 billion US dollars has expanded to today's medium-sized region with a population of 14 million and a total GDP of nearly 600 billion US dollars. If you can look at it as a country, the Far Eastern Republic today In terms of GDP, it will be ranked 11th in the world after Mexico. It is blunt to say that the economic development of the Far East is faster than that of China in the reform and opening up. Of course, among them, we account for the rich natural resources , The land is vast and the people are cheap, but there is no doubt that there is no bubble in our economy, because our economic growth point is not based on the real estate industry. Hehe, with the development of the Far East economy entering a virtuous cycle, some people say My ambitions have grown, yes, at this point, I will never deny anything, because my ambitions have indeed grown, and I want to extend the economic and political model of the Far East to the entire Russian Federation, in other words , I want to radiate the influence of the Far East to the entire Federation. What is my pursuit? This is it, so simple and simple. How about you two friends? Don't you plan to make some changes and put your pursuit further away? step?"

Taking a deep breath, Vinogradov chuckled lightly, "Shouyun, it's no wonder that Beijing can't tolerate you. Your ambition is indeed something that no one can tolerate."

"Is this an ambition? It's clearly an ambition!" Khodorkovsky's expression looked a little excited, he waved his big hand and said without hesitation, "To be honest, I have had this for a long time. In the past two years, I have also tried to implement the Far East development model in Siberia. Frankly speaking, although this process is difficult, it is practical and feasible. If possible, I really hope that in the federal scope The internal general will play this model well, even if the last attempt fails, our life will not be considered in vain."

"The problem is that the Far East exhibition model can only be implemented in a place where everything is withered and there is no stable power in itself," Vinogradov shook his head and said, "The Far East just met this standard back then, while in the Commonwealth What about other regions? There is no doubt that such a development model will be met with a lot of resistance, and if nothing else, just those real estate developers can give people a headache.”

"That's why we need more power, a more centralized and unified power," Guo Shouyun said casually, "There is nothing in the world, nothing can be broken, and Yeltsin was able to stare at the pressure of the entire Bolshevik Party and destroy the entire old Soviet system, then we If we are united, is it not comparable to Yeltsin back then? I have thought about it for a long time. In today's federal political arena, it is not that we have no strength that can be united. If nothing else, it is just a long plus Nov, you can be our assistant, on this issue, we can reach a lot of compromises with him, don't you think so?"

"Hehe, I don't know if Zyuganov is someone who can be united," Vinogradov laughed, "but what I do know is that from the perspective of your ambition, Berezovsky and Gusinski has become a character that must be eliminated, have you figured out a way to deal with them?"

"I will mention this even if you don't say it," Guo Shouyun said with a frown. "Just like the question Khodorkovsky asked me just now, I will force Moscow to accept some of my conditions this time. This includes the complete abolition of some important government officials. As long as the Kremlin accepts this condition, we will take action against Berezovsky and Gusinsky next... Of course, in this process, it is necessary to You two make some sacrifices."

"I understand what you mean," Khodorkovsky would agree as soon as he finished speaking, he nodded solemnly, and said, "You are not just preparing us to make sacrifices, you are simply Ready to take our half-life, although we are friends, but here, I still need to negotiate terms with you, what are you going to use in exchange for my Menagep? How can I really trust you ?"

"It's very simple," Guo Shouyun said without hesitation, "if I can force Moscow to bow this time, I will ask the Kremlin to set up two new departments - the National Sovereign Foundation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Russia, and use these two Most departments have replaced the role that the central bank has always played. As for the candidates for the leadership of these two departments, I, Guo Shouyun, will fight for you even if I try my best. As for how to make you truly trust me, I have no idea. The specific method depends entirely on your confidence in me."

"Hehe, it depends on our confidence in you?" Khodorkovsky thought for a while and smiled, "Then isn't this an unprecedented gamble for us?"

"I've said it a long time ago, people's whole life is originally composed of countless games, some with big bets, some with small ones, some win and some lose, that's all," Guo Shouyun said with a light smile. , "For everyone, if you want to win, you must first learn to be able to lose. I am like that, and the two of you are naturally the same."

"Are you gambling?" Khodorkovsky didn't answer directly, he looked at Vinogradov who was sitting on the other side, and smiled.

"Do I have a choice?" The latter replied calmly.

"Do I have a choice?" Casting his eyes on Guo Shouyun's face, Khodorkovsky repeated the words of "Old Weitou".

"I have no choice," Guo Shouyun said unceremoniously. "Actually, not only do you have no choice, but I myself have no choice. You should know that the trend of the federation from chaos to governance has already emerged. For those of us like us For example, the only way to avoid being killed by others is to control absolute power, so my ambition is also my bet, and the difference between winning and losing is the difference between life and death. The moment I invested a huge amount of money into the Hong Kong stock market, I had already thrown our dice out."

"Then bet!" Khodorkovsky and Vinogradov said almost in unison.

"Boom..." At this moment, there was a burst of deafening thunder outside the originally peaceful villa window. It seemed that a storm was coming.
