"Bah, just give me the ecstasy soup!" Aso Xiangyue spat, but a smile full of joy appeared on her face. Fang Mingyuan indeed gave her great freedom, allowing her to interact with those before her in Russia.

Countries within the Soviet Union's sphere of influence freely used their talents. Except for some projects that required staggering amounts of funds, which required him to be notified in advance, others could be decided on their own.

Such an opportunity was something she had never dreamed of. Before she met Fang Mingyuan, she could only hope that the small company she worked with Uda Mitsuri could prosper and make some money. How could she have imagined that one day she could become a former CEO?

A member of the upper echelon of society in these republics of the Soviet Union.

Even the President of Russia is not an uncommon figure to himself.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Xiangyue, who is the current largest shareholder of the New Lippetok Steel Company?" Although Russia's New Lippetok Steel Company is a delicious piece of fat, Fang Mingyuan must also consider that,

If Aso Xiangyue acquires too many shares, will it arouse the hostility of major shareholders? If Lao Maozi is forced into a corner, no one will be stingy.

"Yevgeny Victor Petrov!" Aso Xiangyue said, "Hehe, are you worried about my safety?" Fang Mingyuan frowned, Yevgeny Victor Peter

He seemed to have no memory of the name Love in his previous life.

"You don't have to worry. Petrov has a good relationship with Belevsky. It was Belevsky who introduced me to the New Lippetok Steel Company after I merged several companies under your name."

, and became a director of the company. Moreover, 50% of the iron ore and coal required by the new Lippetok Steel Company are provided by our mines, and one-third of the electricity it requires is

Provided by our power plant. Moreover, he also hopes that I can help the company open export channels to overseas. And even if we obtain more than a quarter of the total shares, it will not affect his controlling position."

Fang Mingyuan was relieved. In this case, as long as he no longer intentionally challenges the other party's position as the controlling shareholder, then the other party cannot control the supply of upstream raw materials and energy as well as the downstream overseas export channels.

An easy target to challenge. If the other party wants to use his controlling position to make some decisions that go against the interests of the Fang family, he has enough counterattack capabilities. Moreover, the old Wilder is currently in good health and is very good in front of the new Russian president.

status, of course, and more importantly, Russia still owes money to the Second Gulf Bank!

"Well, I agree with your decision, just take all those shares!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Those steel plants don't need to be merged into the Liao Provincial Steel Plant, you can just control them yourself.

." When Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company was established, it was to frighten the three barrels of oil and to show its strength to international peers, so it tilted its oil resources closer to it. The steel industry does not need to transfer its own resources so early.

When your true strength is revealed, you may be able to surprise others even more in the future.

Aso Xiangyue's thoughts were racing, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She already understood Fang Mingyuan's thoughts. This guy must be trying to keep someone secret, but she likes it. She is already thinking about what else she can combine.

Reorganized steel resources. Although Russia’s steel industry is no longer what it used to be, it is still the world’s largest steel producer.

"Mingyuan, are you interested in steel companies from Central Asia and Central and Eastern European countries?" Aso Xiangyue said with a smile, "Would you like me to help you find out what the other party is saying?" At that time, these members of the Warsaw Pact were in

After the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, not all countries are doing well, and there are also those unlucky ones who are doing miserably. Good domestic companies can't get enough orders at all.

However, in the past, Fang Mingyuan was very cautious about large-scale investments in Russia, Central Asia, and Central and Eastern European countries, and was even prepared to quickly withdraw investment from Russia. Moreover, Aso Xiangyue was indeed a perfect clone.

The amount of various assets acquired when Russia and Central Asian countries were in chaos after the collapse of the Soviet Union was too huge. Apart from Yukosky Oil Company and Menatep Private Bank, Fang Mingyuan's other industries were

Basically, they were left to Aso Xiangyue. Although Aso Xiangyue has an excellent working team, it is necessary to smooth out these assets one by one and make them completely on the right track and become a subsidiary company that can handle everything.

It's not an easy task either. What's more, it has also experienced several economic ups and downs in various countries, as well as a world economic crisis, and it also has to help Fang Mingyuan, who often "outstands the whims", to open up various relationships in the former Soviet Union.

It was not until 2001, and with the new Russian president coming to power, Fang Mingyuan changed his attitude towards investment in Russia, that Aso Xiangyue was able to fully control the Fang family's industries in the former Soviet Union.

Use your spare time to consider external expansion.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, but this was something he had not considered thoroughly before. The level of heavy industry in the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern European countries was actually very high. Even if it was not as good as developed countries in Europe and the United States, the gap was limited. Otherwise, what would be the point?

The military industries that support these countries have been at odds with NATO for so many years. However, the Chinese people do not pay enough attention to them due to various reasons such as poor information. He himself does not pay enough attention to this area.

"Okay, if the price is right, you can just buy it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "If you don't have enough funds, you can ask Brother Yu and I will inform him. Don't be too tired, Rongrong is familiar with Japanese business

After that, I will go to Moscow to help you." Aso Xiangyue hung up the phone with a smile on her lips.

On December 24th, Christmas Eve before Christmas, snowflakes began to fall in the capital city that had been hazy all day long after dark, and in just half an hour, it turned into heavy snow.

"Fortunately, we came back early, otherwise, we might not be able to land today." Zhao Ya looked at the flying snowflakes outside the window and said excitedly. It snowed on Christmas Eve, which is a problem for a capital city that may only have a few snowfalls every year.

Come on, it's quite a rare thing.

Fang Mingyuan leaned on the sofa lazily. He was indeed feeling a little tired from running around these days. If he hadn't had some ideas this time and needed to communicate with his superiors, he would have gone directly back to Pingchuan. As for

When it snows on Christmas Eve, only those little girls will feel extra romantic, and he has long passed that "romantic" age. If everything is under control and he is in a good mood, he will still be in the mood to spend the holiday with Zhao Ya and the others.

, but now that SARS may break out at any time, he is always worried, how can he still be in that mood.

"

The Satellite Launch Center successfully launched the Shenzhou-4 spacecraft, which will conduct a comprehensive flight test in an unmanned state in the next week..." The excited voice of the announcer came from the TV, "Next, we are broadcasting a message from the inland

Reports from Qinxi Province, just today, the Fengtong Railway from Fengyuan City in Qinxi Province to Tongchuan City in northern Qin was put into trial operation! Vice Minister of Railways Liu Xueqing and the main leaders of Qinxi Province... participated in the trial opening

Ceremony, and took the first high-speed train from Fengyuan to experience it personally..."

Fang Mingyuan raised his hand and used the remote control to turn off the TV. After getting the news he wanted to know, he was no longer interested in watching the next news. Anyway, he could recite the general content.

The opening of the double-track Fengtong Railway is naturally a great event for Tongyi. It means that the transport capacity of Fengtong Railway can be increased by at least two times, or even three times. This is a great development for the economy.

For Tongyi, there is undoubtedly another major channel for material transportation. The already slightly congested Tongfeng Expressway will have less pressure. And with the opening of the second expressway directly from Tongyi to Fengyuan City next year,

The economic ties between Tongyi and Fengyuan will become closer.

As for the Tongjin Railway, good news has recently come. If there are no more accidents, it will receive formal approval before the Spring Festival next year. It is fully prepared and is just waiting for Dongfeng's Tongjin Railway to finally start construction.

Although these happy events could not make Fang Mingyuan, who had always been heavy-hearted, laugh, they also blew away some of the gloom in his heart.

"Hey, Mingyuan, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?" Zhao Ya pouted and walked back, sitting on the sofa, and said angrily.

"If you want to go out to play, ask Brother Chen to arrange for someone to accompany you. Aren't I waiting for Uncle Su?" Fang Mingyuan patted her hand and said, "It's snowing so heavily, please pay attention to safety."

"Who's going out? I mean..." Before Zhao Ya could finish her words, she burst into laughter - Fang Mingyuan's hand scratched her ribs twice. Zhao Ya had a lot of itchy flesh, so

I've never been better at tickling than anyone else.

Zhao Ya turned over and escaped from the control of Fang Mingyuan's hand. She jumped up from the sofa and said angrily: "You are a useless guy!" Fang Mingyuan didn't have itchy skin on his body, and Zhao Ya knew that since she was a child.

Before Fang Mingyuan could speak, the phone at hand rang.

When Su Huandong's eldest son, Su Aijun's brother, and Director of the Social Affairs Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, Su Aimin, parked the car at the entrance of the courtyard, Fang Mingyuan and Zhao Ya were already standing at the door.

"Uncle Su, I'm really sorry that I bothered you to make a trip in person in this snowy world." Fang Mingyuan took two steps forward and held Su Aimin's hand.
