Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1104 Shock Therapy
Sitting in the car, Jiang Yan looked at the more than one hundred cars behind him, the huge convoy like a huge wave, and the police car leading the way in front. He immediately shook his head helplessly. It was too high-profile and inconsistent with his low-key personality.

But he also knew that Arov and the others just wanted to save face for him in front of people in his country.

But Jiang Yan still frowned subconsciously. Seeing Jiang Yan's appearance in the rearview mirror, Arovli suddenly tensed up.

"The police car was arranged by Mr. Kadanfu. I don't have that much power now."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan looked helpless. In fact, Jiang Yan now guessed that this was probably not Arov's idea.

However, Jiang Yan still felt that this was not a good thing to do, but that was his character, he was too reckless sometimes.

These few months have been a clash between the new Russian bear and the old Russian bear. Everything will be fine in two months. In December, Boris will sign an agreement alone with the leaders of Ukraine and the White Bear in Belovezh, declaring that the Russian bear will cease to exist and that the Commonwealth of Independent States will be established to replace it.

But that time was a different story. The transition from the old to the new was not so smooth, and it was estimated that it would be chaotic for a while. After all, there were too many people who were unwilling to accept it.

It was only later that he completely took control of everything and completely buried this red empire that had been established for seventy-four years.

"By the way, boss, Mr. Kadanfu said that if you are free recently, he would like to invite you to dinner. He also wants to meet you as soon as possible." Arov said.

"My husband also wants to invite you to dinner as soon as possible." Ye Lina next to her also spoke up.

Jiang Yan smiled immediately. At this moment he felt like he had suddenly become a popular person.

However, when he came back this time, he also wanted to arrange a meeting as soon as possible to see what they thought. After all, this was an important part of his life.

Although he did know many big shots in Russia, and even had a special connection with Boris, especially now that the luxury car business of the Automobile Alliance was done, a large amount of money was continuously transferred to Boris.

I guess if I go to see him, he will agree to see me.

But Jiang Yan felt that the person closest to him was Kadanfu. According to later generations, this guy was slightly better.

"Let's wait until tomorrow night. The three of us will sit down and have a meal together. Today I have to settle the people in China."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed to the convoy behind him.

Arov and the others smiled at each other. "We fully agree with your decision, because we want to report to you in the evening. After all, you have been away for too long and there are many things that need you to handle."

"Okay! I'll try my best." Jiang Yan rubbed his head and said.

This is my current state. The whole day starts as soon as I open my eyes and I have no time to spare.

"It's okay. Just take care of the branches in Moscow and Leningrad. You don't have to worry too much about the other things." Jiang Yan shook his head.

"Old Chen, how is Hang Seng Bank's business now?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked.

"Currently, Hang Seng Bank has hundreds of branches, and the deposits it attracts are the best among all foreign banks. This is all thanks to the policies formulated by you, Mr. Jiang," Cheng Lin said.

"At present, we have not fully opened a branch every five kilometers as planned. The main reason is that Damao is vast and sparsely populated..." Listening to his report, Jiang Yan nodded. He was quite satisfied with his work.

The division of administrative regions in Russia is more complicated and not as clear as in China, especially in the past. The division was even more troublesome. Russia itself is composed of 85 federal entities.

There are 22 republics, 46 states, nine border regions, one autonomous state, three federal municipalities and four ethnic autonomous regions in the country.

Some are big, some are small. The big one is about the same age as a province in China, while the small one is not even as big as a county town. There is no basis for the division; it can be said that it all depends on one's mood.

For example, Yekaterinburg is actually the capital of Sverdlovsk Oblast, and the entire Sverdlovsk Oblast has thirty cities under its jurisdiction.

Even though Sverdlovsk Oblast is considered to be a relatively large oblast in Russia, with an area of ​​nearly 200,000 square kilometers and being the second largest industrial zone in Russia, its total population is only over 4 million, which is less than the population of a prefecture-level city in China.

This is also the reason why Russia was divided into eight federal districts in the previous life. In Jiang Yan's opinion, these eight federal districts are almost at the same level as China's provinces.

As for what kind of city it is, just think of it as a small county town. Some are simply towns, which is a world of difference.

Our country is more rigorous in this area. There are two basic principles for the demarcation of provincial boundaries. One is the shape of mountains and rivers (since ancient times), and the other is the jagged edges (in the Yuan Dynasty). The so-called shape of mountains and rivers means that when demarcating, the boundaries are divided according to natural conditions such as mountains and rivers. Another issue is population. The population of the bear is relatively concentrated.

In the Russian Federation, apart from the largest cities, Moscow and Leningrad, which are international metropolises, their populations are respectively 15 million and over 5 million. Even the third largest city, Yekaterinburg, has a total population of no more than 2 million. According to domestic standards, such a population cannot even be compared with big cities, let alone megacities above them.

However, based on the current economic output, in Russia, the five so-called large cities now basically account for about 70% of Russia's total economic output.

As for other republics, states, and border regions, they can be ignored as a whole, and some even make no contribution at all.

In terms of area, Moscow is 2511 square kilometers, but it accounts for one-third of the economic scale of Russia. In addition, other places including Leningrad only account for the other two-thirds of the economic scale of Russia. With such an economic scale, Jiang Yan would be stupid to put a lot of effort in these places. It is totally uneconomical.

When passing by the city government, Jiang Yan suddenly heard a loud shouting outside the window. Turning his head, he saw trucks piled up in front of the city government gate. A group of workers in work clothes were on the roof of the trucks, holding loud speakers and shouting loudly.

"Are material resources so abundant now?" Jiang Yan asked with some confusion.

"The government has gradually liberalized commodity prices. The goods in stores are indeed much more than before, but it has not had an impact on us yet because their supplies are too limited."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, and he remembered that although Russia only officially lifted the price control that had been maintained for decades in 92, it had actually gradually opened up the price restrictions after it came to power.

Their actions did indeed greatly stimulate factory production, resulting in a large number of goods being produced, and even leading to a prosperous situation like the one we see now, where goods are no longer in short supply.

It was this situation that gave Boris and others confidence in shock therapy. Unfortunately, Russia's problems were too complicated and far from comparable to Bolivia, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries. However, all this had nothing to do with Jiang Yan.

However, just as Jiang Yan's motorcade was speeding recklessly on the streets of Moscow, the news that Mr. Jiang had returned to Moscow was spreading throughout Moscow at the speed of light.

In other words, Jiang Yan, Mr. Jiang, is now considered a top figure in the entire Russia.
