Rebirth Starts From 2006 Chapter 781

There has never been a profitable business, the difference is only in the level of risk,

If, as Shirley said, Russia is a land of extremely valuable treasures, why doesn't Western capital make a big move into it, instead it only regards it as a market and a source of raw materials?

It doesn't make sense.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Xue Li shrugged calmly, turned her head to look at another middle-aged man in the conference room, then turned her head and said to Qin Yu,

"There has never been a risk-free investment, and Russia is the same, and compared with mature markets in Europe, America, and even Asia, the risk of investing in Russia is higher,

The details will be presented to you by Aguilar from the PR Department. "

Qin Yu nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to a fat middle-aged Caucasian man, and the conference system then adjusted his camera to the center of the screen.

"Hello, Ms. Qin, Ms. Huang,"

Aguilar first greeted with a smile, and then without any nonsense, directly turned to the topic,

"After our investigation and the analysis of international relations experts, we believe that the risks of investing in Russia are mainly reflected in two aspects.

One is domestic,

For a long time, Russia's business environment has been very harsh, and it has long been at the bottom of the world rankings, almost on par with African countries.

The specific situation is mainly reflected in the fact that there is no spirit of commercial contracts among the people, and wanton breaches of contracts may occur at any time.

Government corruption, disrespect for private property rights, public extortion and even public confiscation of foreign assets seem to be a matter of course in their hearts.

Perhaps except for state-owned enterprises and oligarchs, only those with deep backgrounds, preferably with nepotism to the top federal officials, can afford big business. "

Hearing this, Qin Yu suddenly made a gesture to signal him to pause, and then said, "What is the coping strategy?"

Since they suggest that Russia be listed as the first choice for investment, of course there will be corresponding risk mitigation measures.

In the picture, Aguilar paused for a few seconds before saying seriously,

"Yes, it's not scary to have problems, as long as the problem is solved, of course we have corresponding strategies,

Our suggestion is to first raise a public relations reserve fund to take care of various relationships from top to bottom,"

It seems that they are worried that the two bosses, Qin Yu and Huang Shan, are too young to accept this almost aboveboard way of public relations, Aguilar explained,

"From our survey results, whether it is their large state-owned enterprises or super oligarchs, there will be such a special expenditure. The national conditions there are like this. Since we are going to invest there, we must accept the differences there.

but,"

Aguilar showed a flattering smile and said, "After paying this fee, there is a high probability that our operating costs will be reduced, and at least it can ensure the smooth operation of the project. Compared with the benefits obtained, this expenditure is completely worth it .”

After he finished speaking, Qin Yu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

Then he shook his head again, "But it's not enough, being kind but not powerful, being cowardly, being powerful but not being kind, alienating people, if we only rely on public relations expenses, then in their eyes, we are just a piece of fat that can be bitten at any time , we must have means of deterrence.”

The question Boss Chen reminded her just now had been weighed in her mind countless times, and now it was time to make a decision, so she asked it naturally.

Hearing this, Aguilar instinctively looked at the other person,

Martha Woodman, Security Director of IRICO Group,

The fifty-two-year-old Woodman has dual citizenship of the United States and France. He has experienced a full 30-year military career. It can be said that he has lived on the battlefield all his life.

He has successively served in the US Marine Corps, the French Foreign Legion, and the notorious Blackwater Company due to the war in Afghanistan. He is proficient in special operations and intelligence analysis, capable of offense and defense,

More than a month ago, at the suggestion of Qiao Guanghui to increase the group's security force, Rainbow Group offered him an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars to take charge of the security work of the entire group company.

Before that, Qiao Guanghui was in charge of Qin Yu's security in the United States, and he was the one who cooperated with him.

After receiving the message from Aguilar's eyes, Woodman immediately leaned forward and said expressionlessly,

"Dear Ms. Qin, with only five million dollars and three months, I can establish a basic intelligence network in Russia, and at the same time form a security team of no more than two hundred people who are completely under your orders.

Given the exchange rate between the ruble and the dollar, intelligence and security forces don't spend more than four million dollars a year, but they can carry out any mission you give them! "

There are not many two hundred people, but they can do a lot of things to deter some possible scoundrels, which is completely enough.

As for whether the security team will have any contact with the locals,

Woodman has long considered this issue,

Although it is Russia there, veterans from Ukraine, Belarus and other member states of the Soviet Union can be recruited. From language to tactics, there is almost no difference from their own people.

And it's cheap and easy to use. Even if the salary is improved, the monthly salary of a combatant is only 700 to 800 euros compared to the standard of the French Foreign Legion.

These people know nothing but fighting, but Eastern Europe's economy is backward and their income is limited. For them, as long as the settlement allowance is in place, even dying is not a problem.

Qin Yu nodded slightly, but did not speak, but turned to look at Aguilar,

"Mr. Aguilar, please proceed."

A combat security team of 200 people is enough to deal with ordinary troubles. If the troubles are so big that even these people can't solve them, it won't help to move the whole Blackwater and even the Cossack mercenaries.

The Rainbow Group is a commercial organization. In the past, it invested to make money, not to go to war. Therefore, Qin Yu was silent about Boss Chen's question just now.

That guy is completely brainless fantasy, a little ammunition is enough, too much is a waste,

As for the real trump card, she had long thought about it.

"OK,"

Aguilar smiled, then thought for a while, and said, "Russia's domestic risks are like this. It seems that the problem is not small, but compared to international geo-risks, this can only be regarded as pediatrics."

Hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help embracing his hands, staring at him intently,

Even Huang Shan beside her adjusted her sitting posture slightly, waiting for Aguilar's narration,

International geopolitical risks involve not only Russia, but the entire Eastern Europe, and even the entire European region.

In view of Russia's status as a great power, perhaps this scope can continue to be enlarged,

Therefore, if the public relations department of the Rainbow Group in the United States gets some special information from this survey, it can be used for reference in other fields, rather than being limited to a Russian project.

Even through the screen, Aguilar could see the attention of the two bosses, he immediately cheered up and said seriously,

"As we all know, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited the largest legacy of the Soviet Union, but at the same time, it also inherited the debts of the Soviet Union,

That is, to become the biggest goal of NATO! "

Hearing Aguilar's words, Qin Yu's and Huang Shan's expressions didn't change at all.

This is not news, but a well-known fact. If this is what Aguilar wants to say, then the job of the manager of the public relations department is too easy to do.

Aguilar paused for a moment, seeing that the two bosses looked normal, he couldn't help but feel emotional,

I have long heard that in China, even middle school students know how to govern. Unlike many Americans, they don't even know where their country is on the world map. When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case.

Immediately, he became more cautious, and then said,

"After the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, no one wants to be the target of the world's largest military alliance, and Russia is no exception.

In order to solve this problem and move closer to the West, Russia submitted four applications to join NATO. "

At this moment, Qin Yu's expression finally changed slightly, he frowned slightly, and said softly, "But they were all rejected?"

Undoubtedly, if it was accepted, the news would have spread all over the world, so there is no need for Aguilar to talk about it here.

"Yes,"

Aguilar nodded and said,

"The first time was Yeltsin's era, when New Russia was just established, and the political system and economic model were all replaced by Western ones.

They think that in this way they are part of the Western world and the West can accept them, but this is not the case,

Perhaps Russia thought it was being tested,

Later, after Putin came to power, he proposed three times to join NATO. The earliest was in 2000, when he received visiting former US President Kenlinton who was about to leave office and asked him what he thought of Russia's joining NATO.

But was rejected by Kenlinton on the grounds that he was only the president of the United States, not the secretary-general of NATO,

At that time Putin had no doubts, and even after 9/11, he was the first foreign leader to call Bush,

Because of this, Russia has taken a tolerant attitude towards NATO's four eastward expansions, and even acquiesced. Even on small issues, it has rarely erupted direct conflicts with the West.

And later in 2003, and in the past 2008, he applied twice to join NATO."

Aguilar leaned on the conference table and spread his fat arms, "But the result is the same, and he was still rejected,

Only then did Russia realize that the West would never accept them," he said.

After explaining the antecedents, Aguilar finally talked about the conclusions speculated by experts from the International Relations Group of the Public Relations Department,

"Our think tank experts have deduced that after making it clear that they will not be accepted by the West, Russia should change its development strategy, turn around and seek partners in the East, most likely China and India,

Moreover, according to its own conditions, it will vigorously develop the food and energy industries, and compete with the United States in the international market to enhance the country's economic strength.

This is also one of the reasons why we recommend choosing Russia. Russia's food and energy industries are very likely to become a window with unlimited opportunities.

However, in this case, NATO's coercion against Russia should respond in the form of accelerated eastward expansion,

And in the face of NATO's advance, Putin, who takes rebuilding Great Russia as his mission, will definitely not sit idly by."

Aguilar raised two fingers, slowly moved towards each other, and then touched together, "When the lines of influence on both sides meet, no, even if they are only close, a regional military conflict may break out!"

After saying this, Aguilar raised his head and his face became extremely serious, "The experts of the think tank judge military conflicts based on NATO's development trajectory, their behavior style in recent years, and their personal connections within NATO. The time point may be in the interval of fifteen to twenty years,

Of course, when the outbreak will occur depends entirely on the decision of NATO decision-makers. This point in time can only be used as a reference.

However, this conflict will definitely break out, the difference is only in the matter of sooner or later,

Because this is an invitation to Russia from NATO, which has the initiative! "

On the screen, Qin Yu was leaning on the back of the chair, with his arms folded, his brows furrowed tightly, constantly weighing the gains and losses in his mind,

There is no doubt that if a military conflict breaks out in Eastern Europe, its influence will never be comparable to that of the Afghan War and the Yinlak War.

This is a head-to-head contest between two great powers,

what would be the consequences,

unknown!

After a long time, Qin Yu exhaled slowly, raised his head and looked at the screen,

On the screen, six executives of the American Rainbow Group were waiting patiently, none of them showed the slightest impatience on their faces,

Qin Yu looked at Aguilar and said softly, "What is the countermeasure?"

Still the same sentence, since they know that Russia is risky, but still list it as the preferred target, of course there should be countermeasures.

Aguilar shook his shoulders, stretched his neck, then looked at the big screen and said, "Ms. Qin, there is no countermeasure against this risk!"

Qin Yu immediately frowned slightly, but then let go instantly, looking at him quietly,

There is no countermeasure, you tell me Jill?

Aguilar didn't make a fool of himself, and said immediately,

"In the face of geopolitical risks, no matter how powerful a company is, there are not many ways to deal with it.

This is a contest between big countries, and they are not at the same level. Otherwise, Western capital would have flocked in~www.mtlnovel.com~ and would not let such a large piece of land go to waste.

It is precisely because they all see this that they only use Russia as a product dumping market instead of an important investment destination,"

After a pause, he continued,

"However, although we don't have the ability to deal with this risk, we can trade time for space!"

Aguilar turned his head to look in another direction, turned back again, and said seriously,

"Regarding this geo-risk issue, the public relations department, the information department, and think tanks have organized several deduction,

We finally agreed that the possibility of an outbreak within ten years is extremely unlikely, the possibility of an outbreak within ten to fifteen years is very low, and the possibility of an outbreak within fifteen to twenty years is very likely.

Well, at least for a decade, we can consider it temporarily safe. "

At this time, Shirley suddenly said,

"This judgment is also related to the current economic actions of various countries. The G20 has just been established, and the world economy is in urgent need of recovery. The next ten years will be the best period of economic development. During this time period, conflicts between major powers should not break out.

And in ten years, if we can't occupy a place in the world's food and energy fields, it will almost be equivalent to a project failure,

In this case, it does not matter much to completely give up investing in Russian industries.

On the contrary, if the project is successful, our influence in these two industries will never disappear because of a conflict in Eastern Europe.

Therefore, in ten years, using Russia's land and energy resources, the foundation of our project will be achieved,

As for whether there will be a conflict there ten years from now, it is no longer important to us,

This is the plan to exchange time for space, and it is the main reason why we recommend Russia as the first choice for investment. "
