Fu Song stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Vladimir!"

When Vladimir heard Fu Song calling him Davarich, he felt extremely friendly. He hadn't heard this word for nearly 4 months. Although 4 months were not long, he felt like it had been a long time.

The corners of his lips bent slightly, revealing a great emperor-like smile: "Hello, Comrade Fu."

Fu Song raised his cup and smiled, "Comrade Congratulations!"

Vladimir raised his glass and said, "Treat to comrade!"

Fu Song said: "St. Petersburg is a city with a long history. I think it is also a city with great potential. Miss Natalia's job in St. Petersburg was my suggestion."

Vladimir was a little confused about these words and was not convenient for inquiries, so he had to make a statement of listening.

Fu Song smiled and said, "I heard you have encountered some minor trouble recently?"

Vladimir was stunned for a moment. He would never have thought that Fu Song would pay attention to a small person far away in St. Petersburg.

Although Fu Song exposed his predicament in person, Vladimir didn't care much, but just nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, but fortunately the trouble has been solved."

He has indeed encountered a lot of trouble recently because he was deeply involved in the food scandal. Local newspapers in St. Petersburg criticized him and his life was quite difficult.

When the Soviet Union fell at the end of last year, Vladimir served as chairman of the Foreign Liaison Committee in the St. Petersburg Municipal Government, in charge of foreign trade. All import and export companies need him to issue a license to trade.

Due to political instability, the depreciation of the ruble and the supply of materials in St. Petersburg was tight, so he applied to Geidal to implement the "raw materials for food" plan.

Geidal agreed to the plan and approved him to export $1 billion worth of raw materials in exchange for imported food.

However, Vladimir, without obtaining official authorization from Geidal, made his own initiative to issue licenses to export oil, wood, non-ferrous metals and rare earth metals to foreign countries many times, and shipped the goods before receiving the payment, resulting in the fact that after the raw materials were sent, no grain was shipped in.

If it was just one time, it was understandable that Vladimir could be deceived, but every business he issued was like this, with direct losses of up to $122 million.

Geidal approved an export quota of $1 billion, and it is unknown whether the remaining nearly $900 million will be executed. If it is executed secretly, where will the more than $800 million raw materials and collection go?

Also, it is also unknown whose pockets have been confirmed for the 122 million US dollars of raw material export payment.

Therefore, the representative committee headed by Marina Salier demanded that he be removed from his position as chairman of the External Liaison Committee.

Although he was finally protected by Enshi Sobchak and Geidal, the food scandal inevitably became the biggest stain of his political career.

Economic reform is about to enter the fourth month, but compared with the collapse of the Soviet Union, prices have increased by more than 50 times in just three months, and there is no sign of improvement.

Under such circumstances, from high officials and nobles to ordinary people, St. Petersburg complained more and more about Vladimir's previous operations.

As a good young man who desires progress, he has been thinking these days about how to regain his lost reputation as soon as possible to win the understanding and support of the general public.

The best way he could think of was to control prices and restore the supply of daily necessities in St. Petersburg.

He also knew that the small tricks in the past could not be used anymore, and this time he would never reach out. After all, he had already made a lot of money and people should not be too greedy...

In this situation, Chubais suddenly called him and said that he wanted to recommend a deputy to him. This deputy was no one else, but today's bride Natalia.

After learning about Natalia's resume and background, he persuaded Sobchak to transfer Natalia to the St. Petersburg External Liaison Committee as quickly as possible.

The reason why he was so happy was mainly because Natalia's fiancé was the president of China-Russia Foreign Trade Bank.

The Chinese-Russian Foreign Trade Bank is not only rich and powerful, but most importantly, it has mastered more than 60% of the import and export trade of daily necessities in the "Far East-Moscow".

If he can get along with the relationship between China and Russia's foreign trade banks, he can use the foreign trade channels it masters to solve the increasingly tense daily necessities supply problem in St. Petersburg.

However, what he saw and heard today made him realize that he seemed to underestimate Natalia before.

It is really surprising that a big shot like Fu Song actually serves as a best man for Natalia's fiancé!

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can find Miss Natalia, her husband, today's groom, the chairman of China-Russia Foreign Trade Bank."

Vladimir felt a little dizzy. Why did he help him?

Yes, he just wanted to help Natalia get along with her superior, that's it!

Otherwise, why would a big man like Mr. Fu, who could chat and laugh with Geedal and Chubais, pay attention to himself, a trivial little man?

It is not surprising that Vladimir thinks so much. Perhaps in St. Petersburg, as the proud disciple and right-hand man of Mayor Sobchak, he is a veritable great man.

But this is Moscow, the capital, and which of the guests at the wedding is not a court official?

In front of these big names, his deputy mayor, the municipality directly under the central government, is a pity.

"Okay, Comrade Vladimir, I wish you good health!"

Vladimir was digesting Fu Song's words just now and subconsciously said: "Thank you! Comrade Fu, I wish you good health too!"

Seeing Fu Song turning around and leaving, he suddenly realized, "Why am I so stupid? No matter why he wants to help me, I can't miss this opportunity. I must seize this opportunity!"

"Mr. Fu, please stay."

Fu Song turned around and said in surprise: "What's wrong, Comrade Vladimir?"

Vladimir followed two steps and said: "Mr. Fu, St. Petersburg is the second largest city in the Russian Federation, and there are countless high-quality enterprises. On behalf of the St. Petersburg Municipal Government, I would like to welcome your investment."

After saying that, Vladimir looked at Fu Song nervously, feeling regretful. He shouldn't brag, especially in front of big names like Fu Song.

There are indeed many companies in St. Petersburg, and there are indeed many high-quality companies, but they are all old days. What St. Petersburg lacks the most is companies that lose money, stop production, and stop work.

"Oh?" Fu Song suddenly became interested, wanting to see the ability of the emperor to deceive others. If he could fool himself, he would be considered capable, so he might as well give him face.
