Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1117 Meeting
They are too blindly confident in everyone. They think that as long as they create opportunities for free choice, people will take advantage of this opportunity and respond to this opportunity.

They even hope that all the collectivism, passivity, paternalism, and destruction of subjective initiative and entrepreneurship left over from the history of Maoism and the Soviet Union will disappear, and free markets, free trade, private property, and free prices will take the stage called Maoism.

In other words, in a very short period of time, the methods that had been implemented for nearly 70 years were abandoned, and another plan was quickly adopted, regardless of whether these conflicted with the unique culture and historical experience of Russia.

In short, everything from the West is good and we should inherit it completely, and all that the Russian bear left behind is bad and should be discarded. I feel that this is the only way to be democratic and free.

However, they ignored the general economic laws and the role of culture, as well as the human factors. After all, everyone has been living this way for decades, and suddenly changing to a different method will lead to anxiety and confusion in most situations.

Of course Jiang Yan wouldn't pour cold water on that, and even if he wanted to persuade her he wouldn't say it directly.

"It's a perfect economic policy. I can't find any fault with it. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, these policies are not perfect, but I can understand your difficulties and the hardships you face. This is an unprecedented hardship!" Jiang Yan said with a little excitement.

Gaidar and Chubais were stunned, as if they were frightened by Jiang Yan's sudden excitement, but they were also very happy to hear Jiang Yan's praise. Being recognized by others is a happy thing no matter what the situation is.

Although Jiang Yanhua said this, he was full of sneers in his heart. In fact, this shock therapy not only failed to save the newborn Damao, but instead pushed Damao into an abyss of no return.

But if it weren't for the country, he wouldn't care so much.

Besides, some facts that happened in the previous life have fully proved that the emergence of shock therapy will be completely beneficial to these wealthy people.

It was the privatization of shock therapy that created an unprecedented oligarchic system in Russia, where seven oligarchs could decide everything in the country except the president. In other words, the biggest beneficiary of the shock therapy document was a wealthy man like him.

Therefore, it was reasonable for him to oppose such a document that was beneficial to him, but he had to do so for the sake of the flower growers.

"I have to say that your plan is quite perfect. If you say there are flaws, people will probably ask why you can't make gradual improvements, whether you have a perfect economic system, or even criticize how you protect private property."

With every word Jiang Yan spoke, Gaidar and Chubais' faces turned redder. The questions Jiang Yan raised were quite sharp, but they also knew these problems and the situations that had arisen, and they even didn't know how to solve them.

"I understand your thoughts, because gradualism is death. It will strengthen the power of vested interests and eliminate any chance of reform. The idea that reform can be carried out gently, slowly and painlessly to make everyone happy is just an unrealistic fantasy!"

"And the great country of Mao Zedong needs a revolution in its economy, a revolution that will turn the world upside down."

Listening to Jiang Yan's words, Gaidar and Chubais' eyes became brighter and brighter, and their expressions became excited. It can be said that Jiang Yan completely expressed their thoughts and said what they wanted to say but didn't know how to say.

That’s what they think. If the pace of reform is too slow, they are afraid that they will not be able to reform Russia into capitalism and a free market, and will fail completely!

And Jiang Yan mentioned revolution again. Although they didn't like this word, they had to admit that Jiang Yan was telling the truth. This was an economic revolution. Chubais shook Jiang Yan's hand and said excitedly, "Jiang, I finally understand why Gaidar always regarded you as his soulmate. You are indeed our soulmate. You understand us too well. From today on, you are my soulmate!"

"Not really, not really, but there are some situations that we must discuss." Jiang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"First, once we open up the market, how will we deal with the factories in China? Should we sell them at a low price or buy them out? The other issue is about people's livelihood, roads, railways, resources and electricity."

"To put it bluntly, some people are indeed pioneers of reform, but they don't have that much money, so it's not realistic to ask them to buy it."

Next, Jiang Yan told them about the reform plan proposed by the domestic bigwigs. It must be said that it not only touched their hearts, but was also much gentler to implement. However, this only refers to the people's livelihood.

In fact, it is very simple, just like knowing the answer to the puzzle first and then the process of solving the puzzle. It's just that Jiang Yan and his team have improved the process of solving the puzzle a lot. As for whether it will be of great help to Damao in the future, that is for sure. As for how much help it will be, it is unknown. Basically, it has made a slight change to the overall situation, which is to slightly delay their slide into the abyss.

"Jiang, I have to say that you are completely thinking about us, Damao. It shows that you are a very pure person." The door of the small house was suddenly opened, and Boris looked at Jiang Yan with a smile on his face and spoke.

"Boss, you're here." The two men stood up quickly when they saw Boris coming in.

"Hello, Mr. Boris." Jiang Yan also greeted him.

"Yes, I listened to you for a long time just now. I have to say that you are a genius, Jiang, for being able to come up with so many constructive suggestions."

"This is all thanks to Gaidar and Chubais. I am just adding icing on the cake. To be more precise, it is for myself. The freedom of the Russian market means I can make more money."

Jiang Yan stated his purpose without any concealment, and Boris was naturally happier after hearing Jiang Yan's frank words. No one likes a person without flaws.

After chatting for a while, Boris left. After he left, Jiang Yan's back was soaked. Gaidar and Chubais pulled Jiang Yan and started chatting happily. It was hard to meet a soulmate. Moreover, Jiang Yan gave them so many constructive suggestions, which just made up for their loopholes. Therefore, they were more alert to Jiang Yan.

However, after just a short chat, Vice President Rutskoi, Acting Chairman of the Parliament Khasbulatov, Mayor of Moscow, Luzhkov, Kadanev, Chernomyrdin, Kulikov and other senior Russian politicians came here one after another.

Gaidar and Chubais had to reluctantly bid farewell to Jiang Yan and go to greet everyone.

Jiang Yan was suddenly pardoned. He was just a businessman, and a hands-off boss who didn't care about any specific affairs. Only by being foresighted could he maintain such a life. If the conversation continued, some of the economic theories he had accumulated over the past few days would be turned upside down by Gaidar and Chubais.
