The three of them entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter, but they had been chatting in a good atmosphere before. Because they met Natasha and that Jelder by chance, the three of them lost their thoughts on chatting and hurriedly finished the meal. Roman left early, and Tuoyi and Yang Dongxu found a room and sat down.
"If I guessed correctly, they should be talking about the oil and gas project in Sakhalin Island. Roman's side..." Before Yang Dongxu could ask, Toy said directly.
Although he didn't finish his words, he already understood what Troy meant. Roman's face should be a little solemn, because as a wealthy man, he is engaged in oil and non-ferrous metal mining business in Russia.
It is impossible for Roman to do the oil business in Russia alone, otherwise he would not be a Russian tycoon, but would become a world-class tycoon like the royal family in the Middle East.
But as a wealthy businessman who made his fortune in the oil business in Russia, if someone is planning to develop a new oil field project in Russia, he must be cautious as a peer.
As for the Sakhalin Island oil and gas project, Yang Dongxu has heard a little about it. In fact, when the oil pipeline between China and Russia was being built, Japan was one of the competitors.
And it is still a strong competitor. Russia once wanted to modify its plan and cooperate with Japan. Even the construction of the Thai Inner Line was started in Russia.
However, in the end, after many efforts from China, Yang Dongxu also helped to bridge the gap from the inside, and the repaired 'Thailand Line' was turned around to transport oil and natural gas to the mainland, which made the Japanese government extremely jealous.
But they cannot change the fait accompli, so they are extremely short of resources and still have not given up their cooperation goals in other oil fields and natural projects. They continue to look for other oil cooperation projects in Russia, among which Sakhalin Island is one of their goals.
"Did you receive any news?" Troy asked after hesitation.
This news obviously does not refer to the news from Natasha and Jeld, but to Yang Dongxu's suggestion just now to persuade him to cooperate with the person on the stage.
"No, although I have left some investments and connections in Russia, it is impossible for me to know more than you do." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
Tuoyi frowned. He believed Yang Dongxu's words. This belief was not only because the other party had no need to deceive him.
But although his family is very low-key in Russia for some reasons, the resources it has are unimaginable to outsiders, and the information channels are not comparable to Yang Dongxu's.
Otherwise, as a member of the now prosperous Gurt family, Natasha would not have been so polite to ask him to send her several messages.
"Then you..." Troy had doubts on his face.
"Whoever comes to power has a very high support rate when running for office, and his skills after coming to power are also very popular with the public. Coupled with the support of upper-class forces like the Gut family, whoever comes to power may become the helm of Russia for a long time." Yang Dongxu said. said.
The frowning Troy nodded and fell into deep thought. He understood what Yang Dongxu meant. Although his family did things very cleverly, they managed to walk off the dining table without dying.
However, due to the source of assets, which has never been favored by the current regime, and the iron-blooded tactics of whoever came to power, the two sides are still vaguely hostile. Although no substantive conflicts have broken out, small frictions are constant. .
Compared with the financial oligarchs who were brought down, the Toy family is more powerful, especially the intricate network of relationships that makes people dare not act rashly.
Moreover, this relationship network is very strong, and most of them were people who ate meat together at the dinner table, so those in power are also very afraid of them.
The two sides barely maintained peace, but this was obviously not a long-term solution. According to her uncle's original intention, he was to keep a low profile as much as possible now, or to train a competitor to participate in the next presidential election. If he wins, the family behind Toy will move to a higher level, not to mention the first family of Gut. They are on equal footing, but at least they have more capital to challenge.
And now he has to consider another question, which one will do if he is re-elected?
Now that he is so iron-fisted when he first takes office, life will definitely be difficult for the Toy family after he secures his position. If he is re-elected successfully, the family behind Toy is in danger of being uprooted.
"Your guess..."
"I'm not a god, how do I know if it's right?" Yang Dongxu interrupted Tuoyi's words in a funny way.
There was also a faint smile on Tuoyi's face, because Yang Dongxu always showed outstanding vision, and he subconsciously asked how likely this matter was.
After asking, I also found that this question was a bit too naive. If Yang Dongxu can really predict who will be the next Russian president, he will really become a god.
"But according to the analysis of the data I collected, this possibility is not small. Especially the Gut family is very optimistic about this person." Yang Dongxu said.
Troy's expression couldn't help but become solemn again. This is indeed a very important factor that must be considered. The family behind Toy had always insisted on holding back. In addition to wanting to find a supportive spokesperson after the next election, they also wanted to replace the Gut family.
And now the Gut family has fully supported the person on the stage. If they follow the support, they can only drink soup together, but cannot eat meat together. It is simply a dream to surpass the Gut family.
But what if the Gut family supports the Russian regime for a long time?
Then by then, not to mention replacing him, his family will not even be qualified to drink soup. It is very likely that he will find an opportunity to be kicked off the card table, right?

...
The dark corridors make the sound of creaking wooden floors, if you don't look at the tall buildings in the distance and the appearance of the buildings. You thought you were back in ancient times when wooden buildings were the mainstay.
Compared with various tiles and marbles that are becoming more and more popular in China, conservative British people prefer some wooden furniture, such as wooden floors, wooden stairs, wooden furniture, wooden doors, and even the mailboxes at the door are made of wood. .
If you build a wooden staircase or a wooden door in a city apartment, it will always give people a backward and rustic feeling, but it is very common in the UK. Even those who feel that wooden things in China are rustic will be intoxicated when they come here. It seems that I can smell the charm of history. But the ancestors who actually made the most sophisticated use of wood were actually the Chinese and Chinese architecture.
The room obviously has a large floor-to-ceiling window, but it is blocked by thick curtains, making the surrounding light seem a bit dim. Coupled with some old furniture and a chandelier of unknown age hanging from the ceiling, it always gives people a sense of The feeling of a European castle.
Then I saw a wooden rocking chair that completely belonged to ancient Chinese style next to the thick curtains near the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I instantly had a nondescript feeling.
At this time, there was an unshaven man lying on the rocking chair. His messy hair was too decadent to tell how old he was. However, foreigners generally look older. Even if the other person is clean and tidy, Yang Dongxu probably can't guess the other person's age.
Contrary to the decadent man in the rocking chair, what is eye-catching is a coffee table next to the rocking chair. It is a round wooden coffee table with a completely ancient Chinese shape. There are some carvings on it, but because it is a bit old, the beauty is not seen, but it gives people a greasy look. Feel.
There is a teapot and four small cups on the small coffee table. The teapot is not antique purple sand, but blue and white porcelain. The white and bright blue and white flowers form a sharp contrast with the old and dusty atmosphere in the house.
"Matthew Anroco Edward?" Yang Dongxu frowned after casually looking at the furnishings in the room.
He didn't show any gentlemanly demeanor, but lightly covered his nose with his hand in distaste. The musty smell in the room was mixed with the decadent man in the rocking chair. I don't know if it was the smell of not taking a shower for too long, plus the air. It's not circulated, no one will like the taste.
As if he heard the sound, the decadent man lying in the rocking chair opened his eyes and glanced at Yang Dongxu. Because the light in the room was dim and his vision was not good, he looked for about ten seconds and seemed to see who the person standing not far away was. .
"This is private property. Although I won't shoot you with a gun like a Yankee, you have already broken the law." After seeing Yang Dongxu's appearance clearly, Matthew didn't have much expression, and he was not surprised that Yang Dongxu was Asian. , and he was not angry because the other party came without warning, even though his tone of voice was very rude.
"Are you sure the person you are looking for is him?" Yang Dongxu turned sideways and took two steps back. The smell in the room was a bit unbearable for him even if he covered his nose. Although there was a smell of moldy wood at the door, there was air circulation at least.
Carlo checked himself and looked at the address in his hand. He also checked the house number at the door, which was not very clear, but he could barely make out the digits. Although there was a suspicious look on his face, he finally confirmed it. No mistake, just nodded.
"It should be him. Judging from the information I heard, he is living a decadent life because... he lost his job and had some debts, but..." Not yet Wait for him to finish.
The sound of thumping up the stairs was heard from downstairs. There were quite a few people walking up the stairs, and the moldy wooden stairs creaked and swayed when they stepped on them. It seemed like the whole house was shaking.
Four big men came up. The stairs were not wide to begin with, and these big men were not only tall and sideways, but also wore a lot of clothes in the early spring weather. Yang Dongxu was afraid that they would get stuck in the passage of the stairs.
Seeing Yang Dongxu and Carlo standing at the door, and Du Fei standing slightly behind Yang Dongxu, the leading man was stunned for a moment.
A little unsure, he looked up at the vague house number to make sure that he had not walked out of the floor. Then he swayed and climbed up the stairs, looking at Yang Dongxu with ferocious eyes in confusion.
