The Future Magnates
Lin Yi sat quietly in the cafe and looked at the scenery in the distance. Then, he picked up the cup and took a sip. He couldn't help but grin. It was really bitter.
There was no sugar in the coffee. It was not that Lin Yi did not want to add sugar, but there was no sugar in the coffee shop now.
He had wanted tea, but the waiter at the cafe said that there was no tea. The Indian tea with the elephant packaging would not arrive until next week, and they only had one type of tea.
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly. This was very Soviet.
After a while, a smart middle-aged man in his forties sat in front of Lin Yi.
"Hello, Boris. Mr. Berezovsky." Lin Yi said in English.
"Hello," Berezovsky replied in English.
It was not normal for a Soviet to know English, but it was not strange if he was a Jewess.
As for why Lin Yi could let Berezovsky come here, it was naturally because of the 100 rubles in the envelope.
Lin Yi smiled as he looked at Berezovsky, the future head of the seven Russian oligarchs. He had tens of billions of dollars in assets and was ranked ninth on the world's richest man list.
At this time, Berezovsky looked a little embarrassed. There was not much hair on both sides, but it was greasy and soft. He did not know how many days he had not washed it.
Her clothes were already a little white from washing and were even about to melt.
Although Berezovsky was only 44 years old, he looked like he was 64 years old.
Life was indeed laughable. At this time, other Russian oligarchs had already started a business by opening banks and selling fake wine, but the largest Russian oligarch, Berezovsky, was still just an ordinary researcher. He could not see the glory of the future at all.
In the future, Berezovsky was Russia's largest car middleman, Russia's sixth largest oil field, Siberian Oil Company, Russia's largest natural gas company, Nayapali Oil and Gas Company, and the largest refinery, Omsk Oil Processing Plant.
He also controlled Russian Civil Airlines, the largest television station in Russia, the largest shareholder and actual controller of Russian Public Television, and controlled part of the shares of The Independent and Spark Weekly.
Business was not Berezovsky's greatest ability, politics was.
Berezovsky later served as the government's industrial policy adviser, deputy secretary of the Federal Security Council, and a member of the State Duma. In 1996, U.S. presidential candidate Bob Dole once called Berezovsky the red godfather of the Russian government.
When Berezovsky was at his peak, he could easily decide a Russian president with other oligarchs. It's reasonable to go or stay.
"Mr. Berezovsky, I've heard that you're not doing well.”Lin Yi stirred his coffee cup and asked with a smile.
Berezovsky's expression changed slightly. He looked like he had been exposed and became angry out of embarrassment. However, when he thought of the 100 rubles in his pocket, he suddenly deflated like a balloon and said honestly,"Yes."
In the Soviet Union, anti-Semitism was a national policy. If a person wanted to achieve the same achievements as an ordinary person, they would need to work five times harder.
Berezovsky had joined the Control Research Institute for 21 years, but he was still only a doctor. He had not even obtained the qualification to be a lecturer, let alone a professor.
As for the medal of the Leninist Youth League, the national medal, and the medal of Leninist, they had nothing to do with him.
What he got every month was only a pitiful 300 rubles.
What's 300 rubles enough for?
He couldn't even afford the baguette that he used to hate the most.
He had not washed his hair properly for ten days because he did not have the money to buy shampoo.
The clothes on her body had turned white because she did not have enough clothes to change into. However, she was still wearing them.
If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have come to this cafe for 100 rubles.
"1,000 rubles. I only need 1,000 rubles to give you the economic model of the All-Russian Car Federation.”Berezovsky whispered to Lin Yi, but his eyes revealed a hint of madness.
He decided not to beat around the bush with Lin Yi and bring up the embarrassment that he was unwilling to mention.
" The economic model of the Russian Car Federation "
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled." Mr. Berezovsky, you're mistaken. I don't need this thing."”
"What?"
Hearing this, Berezovsky seemed to have lost all his strength and fell heavily on the chair.
The economic model of the Russian Car Federation was the result of his research in the last two years, and it was the only bargaining chip he could offer.
Berezovsky was silent for a moment, then stood up." Sorry, I only have this.”
With that, Berezovsky prepared to leave.
" Mr. Berezovsky, please sit down. Let me ask you, do you know Mr. Kadanikov?" Lin Yi asked.
"Of course I know the director of the factory, Kadanikov.”Berezovsky blurted out.
Looking at Lin Yi's gesture, Berezovsky hesitated for a moment and sat down obediently.
"It's good that you know me. I want to ask you to introduce me to Mr. Katanikov.”Lin Yi said with a smile.
Although Berezovsky was very powerful in his later life, he was just a small researcher who was not worth mentioning now.
Kadanikov was Lin Yi's target, a real big shot.
Kadanikov was now the boss of the Volga car factory. He would probably be able to take over next year and become the first vice president of Russia. It was reasonable.
Of course, like all the Russian presidents of the Boris Yeltsin-era. As a matter of fact, Kadanikov did not stay in his position for too long. In less than two years, he stepped down because of the chechen incident.
However, this was already considered a long time. Yeltsin had replaced five presidents in fifteen months. The president was terrifying.
After Kadanikov stepped down.
In 1993, Berezovsky founded the All-Russian Car Alliance and earned his first pot of gold by reselling cars.
"This…" Berezovsky's face revealed a trace of embarrassment.
Lin Yi laughed. He had to admit that Berezovsky's performance was too clumsy.
He took out another envelope from his chest pocket and handed it to Berezovsky.
Berezovsky opened the envelope and saw ten brand new 100-dollar bills. He was shocked.
After a moment of hesitation, Berezovsky put the envelope in his pocket and said firmly,""I will definitely bring you to Director Kadanikov.”
