"Mr. Berezovsky, can you tell me now, is it the purpose of inviting me to come to Moscow?" After entering the room, Zhuang Mingge immediately spoke and asked the godfather figure in front of him.

"Don't worry, let's talk about other things first. We still have a lot of time... By the way, you can rest here tonight. Although this club is not very famous, its service level is the best in Russia."

"But there are still many things waiting for me to go..."

Zhuang Mingge wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Berezovsky:

"Haha, boy Antonio, you are still too young. Young people are motivated and dare to act is indeed a good advantage. It is also a place where we older people are not as good as you, but..." Berezovsky paused and said word by word, "Some things can be solved by decisive practice, no, it's not."

"Then... OK." Seeing the other party say this, Zhuang Mingge even called himself "Antonio boy". He had to sit down and chat with Berezovsky in all directions.

About two hours later, Abu, who had been using the excuse of going out to use the bathroom, knocked gently on the door and returned to the room and said to Berezovsky: "Mr. Boris, now everyone except us has left this club. Before leaving, Mr. Gusinsky asked me to tell you that he hopes to have a detailed discussion on Mr. President's campaign strategy tomorrow."

"Hmph, I knew that these guys were only good at taking advantage of the law. When they needed to give advice, they were useless." Berezovsky hummed disdainfully and said to Zhuang Mingge.

"Antonio, I heard that when your country's former Prime Minister, Mr. Silvio Berlusconi, was not very popular at the beginning of his campaign, did he not have a very high public support?"

"That's right." Zhuang Mingge recalled for a moment and said with certainty.

"So Antonio, can you recall the strategy of Mr. Berlusconi running for Italian Prime Minister at that time?" The long-term chat before made the sense of distance between the two sides no longer obvious. At this time, Berezovsky, who was very talkative, finally inadvertently put forward the topic of this conversation.

Zhuang Mingge, who was not slow to react, shook his head gently and replied: "That's different. Although Berlusconi later reversed the situation and was successfully elected, his successful election experience is almost impossible to replicate, because the situation here in Russia is much worse than that in Italy."

"Is it because of the different approval ratings? I remember that in the first half of the year of the election, the public approval rating of Berlusconi had risen to more than 70% of the terrifying ones. I'm right, Antonio?"

"Yes, at that time, Berlusconi became the new Italian Prime Minister, which was a popular destination... But, Mr. Berezovsky, there seems to be no comparison between the situation of Italy and Russia's general elections... I heard Abu say before that Mr. Yeltsin's public approval rating seems to be a bit low." Zhuang Mingge thought to himself that people who care about politics are different from him. With many specific data, this Russian oligarch obviously knows much more than he does.

"It's not that it's a bit low, but very low! With less than a year left, Yeltsin's approval rating is less than 3%, which makes us supporters very worried." Berezovsky told Yeltsin's extremely bad campaign situation.

Yeltsin's public approval rating is less than three percent? Even those who are not good at math can calculate how insurmountable there is a gap between this poor three percent and the 51 percent who can be elected as president of Russia in just a few months!

I'll let it go, God, you're playing with me, right? Zhuang Mingge believes that there is no need for Berezovsky to adulterate such numbers.

At this time, Zhuang Mingge could only sigh that his memory did not contain too many other things except football. He only knew that the Russian presidential election was extremely fierce in a few months, but he could not imagine that Yeltsin, the current presidential election, would be so bad.

Although he is not interested in politics, Zhuang Mingge, who often reads newspapers, still knows some of the basic attitudes of the Western world towards the Russian election.

No wonder Western critics have paid less and less attention to Yeltsin recently, while their attention and positive reports on another presidential candidate, Zernovsky, have indeed increased day by day.

It's really a real society.

"Antonio, can you think about why Berlusconi was able to receive the support of so many domestic voters?" This is Berezovsky's purpose. In this era when the Internet was not very developed, in Russia, he could not know the details of the election by relying solely on media reports, so naturally he could not get any good ideas from it.

Like Zhuang Mingge, a person who has some relationship with the Berlusconi family (referring to Zhuang Mingge's identity as "Tai, Zi, Party, Party, Kui"), may be able to tell himself some unknown inside information.

"Well, this question, I think, besides the propaganda policy, more importantly, Mr. Berlusconi will give voters a friendly impression."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"Well, then we have to talk about football. His identity as the chairman of AC Milan made the Italians who regard football as the number one sport feel very friendly and won countless votes for him!"

Italy is a country with excellent football skills and a modern country with largely the symbol of football elements as cultural symbols and spiritual totems (similar to it are Spain and Portugal, which are also "Latinized" European countries). There is even a joke specifically describe Italy's "except art and football, Italy is not good at doing anything well."

This also reflects the status of football in Italy from another aspect, and also makes the stars have a great appeal among the Italian people.

Zhuang Mingge, who had thought about it, recalled the miraculous election of the Italian Prime Minister a year ago. The reason why he could create such a miracle is that the "support" of many Italian stars is absolutely indispensable.

For example, Inter Milan's captain Bergomi said, "He (Lao Bei) is a very wise leader", which directly brought a lot of votes.

Not to mention the Italian media interviewed Milan captain Baresi. At that time, the old captain Baresi said cautiously, "He is a very outstanding club owner, and I believe he will also be an excellent Italian Prime Minister." It is said that this caused Lao Bei's public opinion approval rating to soar in a short period of time.

Zhuang Mingge, who saw similar news in the article, thought this kind of thing was incredible. However, since he had personally experienced the Italian enthusiasm for football, he did not dare to underestimate this almost perverted power.

Perhaps many Italians who were not interested in the prime minister's election would have such an idea: What an honest player Baresi is, it is rare for him to help others win votes. If we don't support one, wouldn't we become a fake fan? So, Lao Bei was successfully elected as the Italian Prime Minister by relying on football.

In Zhuang Mingge's view, Berezovsky also wanted Yeltsin to copy Lao Bei's path to success. After all, putting aside purely political things, most people always subconsciously want to "replicate" infinitely about their experience of success.

"So, what should we do exactly?"

"Mr. Berezovsky, I think you can do this..."
