Chapter 1111 Small talk
After they sat down, everyone was quite happy at the gathering as they hadn't seen each other for such a long time. Jiang Yan drank some white wine, but it was not much, less than half a catty in total. Kadanev and Luzhkov all used special vodka cups, which were smaller than the draft beer cups in China. One cup looked to be about half a catty, which was only slightly smaller than a large teapot in China.

Before drinking, Russia is similar to China, and they always have to say some toasts. Kadanfu's toasts were very long-winded and Jiang Yan couldn't remember them all. The general idea was that the first glass was for the reunion, and the second glass was for health. This is actually very similar to China.

The third cup is different. It is for all love, love for the motherland, love for the family, love for the wife. In short, for all love. Probably because of personality issues, these are not mentioned in China.

This made Jiang Yan feel interesting. If he stood in the position of the Mao bear, Kadan and Luzhkov were complete traitors, subversives, and the ones who buried the Mao bear with their own hands. If he stood in the perspective of the big Mao, they were complete founders. Who could tell clearly whether this was right or wrong?

"Old Wei." After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Yan signaled to the bodyguard Old Wei standing next to him, and Old Wei understood immediately.

"Boss." Jiang Yan took the two file bags handed over by Lao Wei, nodded and smiled, and Lao Wei retreated tactfully.

"I made a small fortune at Jiaobenji not long ago. This is a gift for you. Please don't despise it. We flower growers have an old saying, 'A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than its sentiment.'"

After Jiang Yan said this, he handed the two file bags to the two people respectively.

"I have bought a property for each of you in Switzerland. I have seen that the scenery is beautiful and suitable for retirement. I have also deposited 10 million US dollars in a Swiss bank. This promissory note is a bearer promissory note and can be used directly."

People call Switzerland a paradise. Switzerland has beautiful scenery. You can feel the charm of nature in any corner of Switzerland. No matter which city you are in, the environment is very clean. There are no cigarette butts or paper scraps on the streets. Pet feces will be cleaned up by their owners in time. Sewage treatment and garbage recycling are developed as emerging industries.

Switzerland has a good social order. Single women don't need to be scared when going out late at night. Pedestrians don't need to dodge when crossing the road. People don't need to push each other when riding the bus. The police usually appear only when they are needed. Switzerland's snow-capped mountains and lakes are gifts from God, but their cleanliness and freshness are created by the Swiss with their beautiful hearts.

Switzerland is a highly developed capitalist country. Its per capita GDP has always been among the highest in the world, second only to Luxembourg and Norway in Europe. Switzerland is also one of the most stable economies in the world. The long-term nature of its policies, secure financial system and bank confidentiality system make Switzerland a safe haven for tax-avoiding investors. Due to its developed financial industry, the service industry also occupies an increasingly important position in the Swiss economy.

So to sum up, this is indeed the most suitable place for retirement.

Kadanfu and Luzhkov were also dumbfounded when they heard Jiang Yan say this. When they heard Jiang Yan say that a gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is worth more than just money, they thought that the gift was just some small things, but they never expected that it was a house in Switzerland and 10 million US dollars. This gift was still considered small.

They both suddenly felt that the language of the flower-growing family was really profound and could be understood in this way.

"This is a bit too expensive." Kadanfu hesitated and spoke.

Although the monthly dividend of the Automobile Alliance is tens of millions, most of the money has to be handed over to his boss. Even if it falls into his own hands, most of it has to be distributed to other people. Otherwise, with so much support from others, the total amount of money in his hands this year is less than one million. Jiang Yan gave tens of millions directly this time, which is indeed a bit surprising. Luzhkov's situation is not much better than Kadanfu's. This sudden large sum of money is indeed a bit shocking.

But Jiang Yan didn't believe what they said at all. If you don't want it, give it to me! The veins on his hand holding the document appeared. This guy is a typical person who says one thing and does another.

"Okay, we are all my friends. You all know my worth. It's just a small gift." Jiang Yan saluted from a distance with a wine glass and spoke indifferently.

"By the way, I got a box of Cuban cigars for the two of you. Pick it up later."

After Jiang Yan finished saying this, his face suddenly changed and he spoke in a very serious tone.

"Why are you two here together? And you want to have dinner with me at the Ukrainian Hotel? Is there something wrong? If there is any trouble, please be honest and we can find a solution together."

Although the three are allies, to be honest, there has only been one time when the three of them gathered in one place at the same time, and that was when the Hang Seng Bank opened. Jiang Yan flew over from Jiaobenji to attend. Regardless of whether they are wealthy men or top dignitaries, Jiang Yan, Kadanov and Luzhkov have always avoided such meetings. When they were photographed, it was known that there must be power and money transactions involved. Although most of the senior executives knew about it, some things are not put on the table, and everyone basically turned a blind eye. After all, this matter cannot be brought to the table.

If there was something going on, Jiang Yan would go to their homes separately. For unimportant matters, he would let a middleman handle them, or he would find a small, more secret place. This was the first time they met in such a public and luxurious place, otherwise Jiang Yan would not have asked like this, thinking that there was some emergency.

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Kadanfu and Luzhkov smiled at each other. Seeing them smile like this, Jiang Yan felt a little puzzled.

Luzhkov had a faint smile on his face. "Jiang, the situation in Russia is different now. The power of entrepreneurs, bankers, and wealthy people has been revealed. Politicians no longer care about meeting and chatting with them to gain mutual support."

Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly. This so-called mutual support has a special idiom in China, that is, collusion between officials and businessmen.

Of course, this phenomenon has always existed in any country and at any time, but it should be like a mouse in the shadows, unable to come out to see people. Now, according to what Luzhkov said, Russia seems to have some intention of coming out into the light of day.

"Recently, Comrade Boris has frequently met with Jeffrey Sachs, Rudloff and others. You know who they are, right?" Kadanf interrupted.

Jiang Yan nodded. He naturally knew these two people. Jeffrey Sachs was a famous economist at Harvard University in the United States, the chief economic adviser to the future UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the 'father of shock therapy', and was named one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time magazine for two consecutive years.
