Fang Chen sat quietly in the cafe, looking at the scenery in the distance, then picked up the cup, took a sip, and couldn't help but grin, it was so bitter.

Because there is no sugar in the coffee, it's not that Fang Chen doesn't want to add sugar, it's just that there is no sugar in the cafe now.

He originally wanted tea, but the waiter in this cafe said that there was no tea. The Indian tea with elephant packaging would not arrive until next week, and they only had one kind of tea here and it would be gone when it was sold out.

Fang Chen shrugged and smiled helplessly, this was very Soviet.

After a while, a very smart middle-aged man in his forties sat in front of Fang Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Boris Berezovsky." Fang Chen said in English.

"Hello." Berezovsky responded in English with some restraint.

It is unusual for a Soviet man to know English, but it would not be surprising if he is a Jew.

As for why Fang Chen allowed Berezovsky to come here, it was naturally because of the hundred rubles in the envelope.

Fang Chen smiled and looked at Berezovsky, the leader of Russia's seven oligarchs, with tens of billions of dollars in assets and the highest ranking in the world's ninth richest man on the Forbes list.

At this time, Berezovsky seemed a little embarrassed. There was not much hair on both sides, which was greasy and limp and had not been washed for an unknown number of days.

The clothes have been washed and turned a little white, and are even about to fade away.

Although Berezovsky was only forty-four years old at this time, he looked as if he was sixty-four years old.

Life is indeed ridiculous. At this time, other Russian oligarchs have already made their fortunes by opening banks and selling fake wine, but Berezovsky, Russia's largest oligarch, is still just an ordinary researcher. He is completely

I can't see the scenery of future generations.

In later generations, Berezovsky was Russia's largest automobile middleman, Russia's sixth largest oil field 'Sibneft', Russia's largest natural gas company 'Nayapalli Neftogaz', and the largest refinery, 'Omsk

The actual owner of the oil processing plant.

It also controls Russian Civil Aviation, is Russia's largest television station, the largest shareholder and actual controller of Russian Public Television, and controls part of the shares of "The Independent" and "Spark" weekly magazines.

Business is not Berezovsky's greatest skill, politics is.

Berezovsky later served as government industrial policy adviser, deputy secretary of the Federal Security Council, and member of the State Duma. In 1996, US presidential candidate Bob Dole once called Berezovsky a Kremlin

red godfather.

When Berezovsky was at his most powerful, he could easily decide whether to stay as a Russian Prime Minister together with other oligarchs.

"Mr. Berezovsky, I heard that your life was not satisfactory." Fang Chen stirred the coffee cup and asked with a smile.

Berezovsky's expression changed slightly, as if he had been exposed, and he looked angry, but when he thought of the hundred rubles in his pocket, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball and said honestly: "Yes.

of."

In the Soviet Union, anti-Semitism was a state policy. If a Jew wanted to achieve the same achievements as ordinary people, he would need to work five times as hard.

Berezovsky has been a member of the Institute of Control for twenty-one years. He is still only a Ph.D. and has not even obtained the qualifications of a lecturer, let alone a professor.

And the Order of the Communist Youth League of Lenin, the State Order, and the Order of Lenin have nothing to do with him.

What he received every month was only a pitiful three hundred rubles.

What is enough for more than three hundred rubles?

He can't even eat the baguette he used to hate the most.

He has not washed his hair properly for ten days because he has no money to buy shampoo.

The clothes on my body had to be washed until they turned white because there was not enough change of clothes, but I was still wearing them.

If it weren't for these reasons, how could he have sat in this cafe by accident for a hundred rubles.

"One thousand rubles, I will give you the economic model of the All-Russian Automobile Federation for just one thousand rubles." Berezovsky whispered to Fang Chen, but there were hints of madness in his eyes.

He decided not to go around the bush with Fang Chen and bring up these embarrassments that he didn't want to mention.

“Economic model of the Russian Automobile Union?”

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Berezovsky, you are wrong, I don't need this thing."

"What?"

After hearing this, Berezovsky seemed to have lost all his strength and hit the chair heavily.

The economic model of the Russian Automobile Federation is the result of his research in the past two years, and it is also the only bargaining chip he can bring to the table.

Berezovsky was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm sorry, this is all I have."

With that said, Berezovsky was ready to leave.

"Mr. Berezovsky, please sit down first. Let me ask you, do you know Mr. Kadenikov?" Fang Chen persisted.

"Director Kadenikov? Of course I know him." Berezovsky blurted out.

Looking at Fang Chen's gesture, Berezovsky hesitated for a moment and sat down obediently.

"It's good to know him. I would like to ask you to introduce me to Mr. Kadenikov." Fang Chen said with a smile.

Although Berezovsky was very powerful in later generations, now he is just a little researcher worth mentioning.

Kadanikov is Fang Chen's target for this trip, the real big shot.

Kadenikov is now the boss of the Volga Automobile Factory. He will probably take office next year and become the First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia.

Of course, like all Russian prime ministers in the Yeltsin era, Kadenikov did not stay in office for too long. He stepped down in less than two years because of the Chechnya incident.

But this is already a long time. Yeltsin was a terrifying president who replaced five prime ministers in fifteen months.

After Kadenikov stepped down.

In 1993, Berezovsky founded the All-Russian Automobile Federation with him and made his first fortune by reselling cars.

"This?" Berezovsky's face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Fang Chen laughed. I have to say that Berezovsky's performance was really clumsy.

He took out another envelope from his breast pocket and handed it to Berezovsky.

Berezovsky opened the envelope and looked shocked when he saw ten brand-new one-hundred-ruble banknotes inside.
