For a moment, the faces of Luzhkov and Kadanikov turned a little livid, even at a loss.

Such a Russia is almost something they have never imagined.

"Fang, let me ask you, if one day I have a conflict with Chubais and Gaidar, or even start a war, which side will you stand on?" Luzhkov looked at Fang Chen with a painful expression, and even looked at Fang Chen with a ferocious twist.

He had a hunch that if Russia became this far away from the Russia he imagined, he would definitely not hesitate to fight Gaidar and Chubais!

Fang Chen said without hesitation: "Luzhkov, believe me, I will definitely be on your side."

Although they are all friends, there is no doubt that he and Luzhkov have a closer relationship, and they are truly close friends who can depend on each other for life and death.

Furthermore, regardless of the intimate relationship, even from a realistic perspective, he must be on the side of the winner.

Obviously, in the conflict between Chubais, Heidar and Luzhkov, the winner was Luzhkov, and Luzhkov even laughed until the time of Vladimir.

But to be honest, Fang Chen actually didn't want to see this scene, but it seemed that according to the very different ideological differences between Chubais, Gaidar and Luzhkov, it was obvious that this scene was bound to happen.

In his previous life, Chubais found Luzhkov just after the referendum vote ended and his victory.

When I think about it, two people with completely different personalities and appearances are sitting together drinking tea.

Fang Chen suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh. Chubais was tall and thin, full of the confidence of a young man, while Luzhkov was short and fat, with a combative appearance, especially in this desolate area, his head looked like a cannonball.

His figure is more like that of a rugby player. Thinking about two people drinking tea together, it feels full of contradiction.

And it's also a bit sad.

Both men had embraced the Soviet system and then gone their own separate ways, and both stood with Yeltsin as he faced growing tensions with parliament.

While drinking tea, Luzhkov made it clear that although they were allies before, he still did not support large-scale privatization. He believed that privatization was selling off Russian assets at a low price, and these assets did not play their role.

Some effects.

Luzhkov also appealed: "With such a cheap sale of assets, we will get only speculators and not leaders."

Chubais believes that Luzhkov’s opposition to voucher privatization has an ulterior motive. Luzhkov wants to select the owners of Moscow’s assets, rather than letting the winners of fair voucher auctions become the owners of these assets.

.

If this were the case, Luzhkov would have no control over them.

In the end, the conversation ended sadly with Chubais being completely unmoved.

Chubais always believed that by doing so, he could break the control of government officials over assets and hand over assets to the management of the people.

And if the assets are controlled by government officials, regardless of whether they can bring benefits to Russia, it is wrong and carries original sin.

In fact, both Chubais and Luzhkov were advocates of the market economic system, otherwise they would not have joined forces to overthrow the Soviets. However, their understanding of the market and personal assets was completely different.

Luzhkov believes that assets must be managed by leaders with leadership capabilities, and then assets are obtained through hard work rather than purchased at a symbolic price.

In other words, when allocating assets to individuals, Luzhkov first wants to know the capabilities of the new owner of the assets.

What Chubais wants to do is to first distribute the assets and then let the market decide who is the capable owner of the assets.

If he does not have the ability, he will naturally not be able to control these assets, and then these assets will be earned by more capable people.

An entrepreneur's success or failure is entirely determined by the market.

Reminiscing about the situation where Russian oligarchs were rampant in the previous life, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little weird. Could he say that Chubais was asking for a hammer?

Obviously these big oligarchs are more capable people, and they have indeed obtained a large amount of assets from other people.

And then...ruled Russia...

Fang Chen suddenly felt ashamed.

Later, it became clear that Luzhkov's approach was more beneficial to Russia's economic development, especially since under his governance, Moscow's infrastructure was old and obsolete. Underground heating pipes suddenly burst, and the warm air spewed to the ground, drowning pedestrians and pedestrians.

The dilapidated city of cars, potholed roads, cracked steps, malfunctioning traffic lights, and trees depleted by pollution has become tidier and more practical.

Luzhkov opened new subway stations, paved roads, established outdoor markets, and built sports fields, alleviating people's housing pressure. He built more than three million square meters of new apartments every year and sold these apartments to

While becoming a wealthy man, he used the proceeds to provide new housing for tens of thousands of poor families.

He pays doctors and teachers salaries on time and provides free transportation to the elderly living on pensions.

Therefore, even Yeltsin had to bow to Luzhkov and warn Chubais and the government not to interfere in Moscow.

It can be said that Luzhkov's management style in Moscow is of great importance to the entire Russia.

In the early days when Russia emerged from the Soviet Union, when people were still exploring how to build a market economy in a country with no experience in capitalism, Luzhkov gave people another option.

An alternative to Chubais-Gaidard's market-oriented liberalism.

Hearing that Fang Chen was willing to stand unswervingly on his side, Luzhkov couldn't help but grin, showing a happy smile, and felt warm in his heart. In any case, he had not made Fang Chen a friend in vain.

For a person in his position, he has already experienced what it means to be in a high place. Now the only people who can truly be friends and support each other are Fang Chen and Kadenikov.

This is probably what is called, having one confidant in this life is enough.

Taking a deep breath, Luzhkov said seriously: "I have always believed that people are motivated to work not because they have assets, but precisely because they have no assets, but they have the right to own assets through productive labor."

Then Luzhkov's eyes flashed with bitter disgust, and he said without mercy: "Look at the 'new asset owners' created by Chubais. They are simply a group of parasites. These people have no understanding of factories and production enterprises.

Instead, their money will be deposited in Swiss bank accounts or turned into foreign villas, motorboats, cars and other pleasures."

"These people will never be successful asset owners and they will never meet my definition of a leader!"

"No one would think that these people who only think about wealth would become successful asset owners or organizers of industrial production!"

"These people are the 'one-hour rulers'. They do everything possible to use this hour to gain benefits from new assets!"

There is no doubt that Luzhkov gained tremendous strength from Fang Chen's support, and his chat box was completely opened.

These words had been buried in his heart for a long time, and they were finally released today.

Fang Chen and Kadanikov looked at each other, then nodded silently, agreeing with Luzhkov's words.

The new owners of these Russian assets indeed behaved like "one-hour substitute rulers."

As if these assets do not belong to them, they will work hard to squeeze out the value of these assets at an extremely fast speed, and then sell them to others to obtain the final residual value. They have never thought that from serious business

gain profits.

What they have always done is to maximize the value of these assets as quickly as possible. From this perspective, they are indeed not the owners of these assets.

"So, if Chubais and Gaidar continue like this, I will one day declare them to be my ideological enemies and I will use every possible method to fight against them and what they instill in the country.

Fight!" Luzhkov said through gritted teeth.

Kadenikov thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The way Chubais and others privatized Russia is like 'a drunkard selling everything he owns on the street in order to buy alcohol.' It's simply pitiful.

,ridiculous!"

In fact, he had always disliked meeting Chubais and Heidar, much earlier than Luzhkov.

In his opinion, he is the person who knows the most about economics in Russia. He became the director of the Volga Automobile Plant in his forties and is the youngest and most outstanding talent on the Soviet economic development front.

But who knew that Yeltsin would reuse Chubais and Gaidar, two idiots who only knew how to talk.

If they hadn't blindly launched shock therapy, without considering the benefits, and only thinking about distributing assets to the people, how could Russia have become what it is now?

What Chubais and Gaidar did was not for the good of Russia, but more to make a break with the previous Soviet Union.

Regardless of whether the Soviet methods are good or bad, as long as this is the Soviet way, it is wrong and must be corrected.

But the funny thing is, aren’t these people remnants of the Soviet Union?

Don’t they bear the imprint of decades of Soviet Union?

How is it possible to completely cut off seats?

Seeing that Kadenikov also expressed his support for himself in such a clear-cut manner, the smile on Luzhkov's face became even brighter.

He is not afraid now, really not afraid anymore. With the support of Fang Chen and Kadenikov, even if he really faces Chubais and Gaidar one day, he is not afraid anymore.

The elimination of this fear is not only due to the strength represented by Fang Chen and Kadanikov, but also a kind of spiritual support and spiritual strength!

Fang Chen also looked at all this with a smile. Although he felt a little regretful, he was actually calm.

He had long known that a battle between Luzhkov and Chubais was inevitable.

There's nothing I can do about it, the two people's thoughts are so far apart.

In a previous life, when the conflict between Chubais and Luzhkov was at its most intense, Chubais once bluntly said that Luzhkov's actions were a manifestation of bureaucratic lawlessness and a violation of the rights of ordinary people.

He also said that privatization would require senior officials to hand over the assets he controls, which are the basis of his power for more than ten years, so Luzhkov is unwilling to privatize Moscow.

Immediately afterwards, Chubais announced that fifty large factories in Moscow would be auctioned. After Luzhkov's objections were ineffective, he went even further and interrupted the process of registering these large factories as joint-stock companies.

If it were not a joint-stock company, it would naturally not be possible to auction shares.

An angry Chubais accused Luzhkov of violating the law and appealed to the Prosecutor General to prosecute Luzhkov for dereliction of duty. Chernomyrdin even took the opportunity as prime minister to order Luzhkov to privatize the country.

The plan remained consistent, but Luzhkov still refused to obey.

The matter reached Yeltsin, who finally declared Luzhkov's victory.

There is no way, who made Moscow obviously better than other cities under Luzhkov's governance. The number of major Russian banks and the number of people's deposits are almost concentrated in Moscow. Moscow accounts for more than 80% of the country, and the number of people traveling abroad in Moscow has

The number of people using telephones, personal computers, microwave ovens, credit cards, etc. is more than twice that of other cities.

This is even eclipsed by St. Petersburg, the traditional second largest city in Russia.
