The first thousand one hundred and forty-four chapters visit Soros(1/2)
After making sure that everything that needed to be photographed had been captured, Fang Chen set off back to Moscow after a brief inspection of the oil fields and refineries.
Early the next morning, Butyrka Prison.
This, arguably the most famous prison in Russia, suddenly welcomed a group of special guests.
The ancient mottled brick walls, towering towers, moss-covered floor tiles, and red marks everywhere all reveal a different meaning.
Butyrka Prison dates back to the reign of Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great and is the largest central transportation prison in Moscow.
This notorious prison was once the home of the famous Russian writer and Nobel Prize winner Solzhenitsyn, and it also held prisoners such as Hitler's nephew for many years.
It is famous for its management model that erodes human rights. It once conducted a purge of 20,000 prisoners, with basically no survivors. Tuberculosis and AIDS are prevalent in the prison all year round.
However, the most brutal prison in Russia is Tucker Prison, which is specially designed to confine the most dangerous prisoners. Like the famous Alcatraz Island in the United States, Petak Prison is also surrounded by water.
Prisoners spend every day in ruthless suppression and constant disappointment. No one can live here for 25 years without developing psychological problems, and death here is a luxury.
"It seems that Chubais is really not interested in Mr. Soros. I thought he would be sent to Vladimir Central Prison."
Looking at this slightly bad environment, Fang Chen sighed.
The Vladimir Central Prison was built 210 years ago. During the Soviet period, it mainly held political prisoners. The treatment there was obviously better. At least prisoners fighting each other and jailers beating and committing crimes did not happen.
"Master Jiu, if you ask me, you should not enter this prison. Just ask someone to bring Soros out. So many people are looking at Soros. He, an old man in his sixties, cannot escape, let alone
Someone will come to rob the prison." Wu Maocai warned with a look of helplessness.
The warden on the side nodded repeatedly, wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hand.
Among all the people here, he is probably the one who least wants Fang Chen to come.
You know, Fang Chen is the highest-ranking figure who has come to this prison since it was built.
Although Fang Chen does not have any official rank in Russia, for any Russian official, Fang Chen is among the top ten in Russia. No, after the referendum incident, Fang Chen is already among the top five.
This morning I received a call from the Presidential Office saying that Fang Chen was coming to visit him in prison. He was really frightened. He quickly ordered that all the criminals who were out on duty be imprisoned in prison, and all the jailers on leave were cancelled.
There were two heavily armed jailers standing guard at the gate of the prison, fearing that something might happen to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen looked at everything around him with interest, just like a tourist coming to visit, and said with a smile: "If you communicate with Mr. Soros outside, it will be meaningless."
Wu Maocai couldn't help but rolled his eyes, Master Jiu had such a damn bad taste.
In the end, the warden did not let Fang Chen go to the prison to visit Soros in person. Instead, he called Soros into the visiting room alone and sat directly opposite Fang Chen.
After looking Soros up and down, Fang Chen said with some surprise: "It seems that Mr. Soros has not suffered too much here. He has a really good spirit."
Although the Soros in front of him has lost a lot of weight, and the prison uniform on his body shows Soros' identity as a criminal, but judging from the newness of his prison uniform, this is obviously a new piece of clothing, but I just don't know that this is it.
Soros's treatment was temporarily arranged by the warden because of his arrival.
Based on his understanding of Soros, it should be mostly the former. If a powerful financial tycoon, a world-class rich man worth billions of dollars, can't even control the quality of his own life in prison, then he really underestimates Soros.
As expected by Fang Chen, Soros grinned with a smile, and then said sarcastically: "Thanks to Mr. Fang, otherwise I would never have thought that I would have the opportunity to come to this place.
But Mr. Fang seems to have forgotten the huge role of money, and I am a person who is not short of money. Here, apart from having no freedom, the food, drink and accommodation are the best here, not even better than me.
It’s worse when you’re outside.”
Hearing this, Fang Chen shrugged nonchalantly.
Well, he admitted that money can make things work, and given the poor legal situation in Russia, it is not that difficult for Soros to do this.
In fact, if the stakes in letting Soros away were not too great and no one could afford it, Soros might have already run away.
However, when Soros said this, he glanced at the warden subconsciously. He had previously thought that the warden insisted on not letting him go to the prison to meet Soros because he was afraid that the prison environment was too bad and would scare him.
But looking at it now, the problem is that the conditions Soros lives in are too good. It doesn't even look like a prison, so I'm afraid that he will see it.
The warden was caught by Fang Chen's glance and fell to the ground with a thud, trembling all over.
Fang Chen didn't care at all, and didn't even bother to take a look. Instead, a secretary from the presidential office sent by Chubais to come with him looked at the warden in disgust, then waved his hand and ordered someone to take care of him.
The warden was picked up from the ground and stuffed into a nearby prison.
In fact, he didn't care about the bad things the warden did. After all, such abuse of power and rent-seeking happened too much in Russia, and it happened around everyone all the time.
The warden's biggest mistake was actually not covering this up properly and letting Fang Chen know about it.
Then if he doesn't take any action at all, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.
And Soros, the instigator, didn't even raise his eyelids. He didn't feel the slightest bit of shame that the warden was in this situation because of him, and he didn't even feel the slightest touch.
In his opinion, the relationship between him and the warden is just a business. If he gives the money and the warden gives him what he wants, then they will lose both money and goods, not to mention who owes the favor to whom and who is responsible for it.
Who should feel a sense of indebtedness?
As for the misfortune that happened to the warden because of him, we can only blame the warden for his misfortune.
The only thing that worries him about this matter is that after the warden leaves, he has to do business with the next warden in order to continue to maintain his current relatively free life.
However, after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to worry about. After all, Rutskoi and the others have not collapsed yet, and this matter can still be covered. This time it is just because Fang Chen is here, but Fang Chen cannot
Come often.
Apart from that, the rest is just spending money. He has plenty of money now.
Although he is not as rich as Fang Chen, he still has 500 million US dollars in cash, which is enough to buy a large enterprise with tens of thousands of workers in Russia.
Therefore, it is still possible to make your own little life comfortable.
The only thing missing is freedom.
Thinking of this, Soros's complexion instantly fell, and his eyes looking at Fang Chen became even more unkind.
Not to mention Rutskoy, he has basically become a frightened bird, cowering in fear, and is in constant panic, fearing that one day Yeltsin will liquidate them, and there will be no way to save him.
What he is really annoyed about is the United States and his own people. They have also told him through channels that there is no way to rescue him yet. As for when they can succeed, it is even more distant.
At most, it means that when the conditions are right, a certain exchange agreement will be reached with Russia, and then he will be rescued at that time.
What he said was like farting.
"Mr. Fang, what's the reason for your coming here? Could it be that you're here to ridicule me? Do you want to see the joke of Soros, a prodigal and a down-and-out prisoner? If that's the case, then Mr. Fang, your style is really too low.
Yes." Soros sneered with disdain.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became playful. Soros was completely letting himself go.
Fang Chen thought well, Soros is indeed completely letting himself go now.
When he was first arrested and imprisoned, he was still panicked, scared, and even self-denial, thinking that it was because of his strength and poor ability that he ended up in this situation.
But it took a little longer, especially with Rutskoy's care and the huge power of money, he moved from the original six-person room to a room alone, and then the room was completely decorated according to a five-star hotel, even the food
It was like being in a five-star hotel with red wine. After he got what he wanted immediately, he gradually began to feel relieved.
He even developed an attitude of being fearless and not stingy. He could get along like a fish in the prison, so there was nothing to fear from Fang Chen, unless Fang Chen really had the guts to kill him.
Is this possible?
Obviously it's impossible.
He is a capitalist, and Fang Chen is also a capitalist, and capitalists naturally have rules for capitalist struggle. However, within this set of rules, physically annihilating a life is an untouchable bottom line.
This involves the nature of them as capitalists.
Relying on money, they can do almost anything, do whatever they want, and everything they want will come true. They can use money to buy happiness, family affection, loyalty, and even love.
But one thing they need to know is that no matter how rich they are, they are still mortal.
This means that if they fight face to face with a little person they have always looked down on, or simply an intern in their company, their chance of death will still be the same, or even higher. After all, they
Old age and stiff constitution.
In this kind of close combat, the money they are most proud of and their capital cannot play any role.
They were instantly on equal footing with those little people they looked down upon completely, and were even at a disadvantage.
This so-called fairness is naturally something they don't want and needs to be avoided.
Furthermore, behind him are the most powerful country in the world and the richest people in the world. Even if Fang Chen wants to kill him, Yeltsin will not agree to it unless Yeltsin intends to completely offend these two people.
group.
Based on his current understanding of Yeltsin, this is obviously something he cannot do with you.
Since the safety of life can be guaranteed, but it becomes uncertain when to leave, then it is understandable that Soros would become unscrupulous and let himself go.
"Am I too low-key?"
Fang Chen pointed at himself, a self-deprecating and slightly weird look flashed across his face.
What a joke!
Fang Chen now really has a sense of déjà vu that he has not yet pretended to be cool, but in the end he asked Soros to finish it for him.
"Forget it, Mr. Soros, I won't follow you in circles anymore. What do you think I'm going to do with you now?" Fang Chen said.
"It's just because of your bad intentions!" Soros said unceremoniously.
"Mr. Soros misunderstood, I'm here to thank you this time." Fang Chen said with a smile, but there was a deep malice hidden in this smile.
"Thank me? Thank me for what? I really don't know what I have to do with you?" Soros felt a wave of excitement in his heart, but he still said calmly.
