Many friends are many roads, many enemies are many walls.
If it is not necessary, no one wants to have another enemy like the prince.
Facing the olive branch he extended, Li Muye was actually a little hesitant, because he was worried that the rumors would eventually be exposed. At that time, it will not be as simple as just blowing off the bullshit and being embarrassed. But Chen Binghui encouraged him to accept the prince's invitation.
Brother Ah Hui's way of persuading people was very special. He asked Li Muye, what academic qualifications do you have? Li Muye said he only had a fake high school diploma. Then Ah Hui asked again, ask yourself if you are a so-called business genius? Li Muye said, I am a business madman with his head in his belt. Chen Binghui said, in the final analysis, it is all about money, so let me sum it up for you: you are a madman who desperately needs money and is willing to take risks for it. Now that the opportunity is there, why are you still hesitating
Li Muye asked him back: "Are you short of money?"
Chen Binghui said: "What you lack is enough." The implication is that your lack is equal to my brother's lack.
Li Muye's head was slightly warm, so he had to ask again: "Business is all about coming and going. What benefits can we give to the prince?"
Chen Binghui asked: "What do you think a person like him lacks from us?"
The prince lacks nothing, but his wealth seems to be splendid and splendid, but in fact it is easily destroyed. So what he really lacks is a sense of security.
Li Muye said: "I'm worried that one day the lie will be exposed and he will fall out with us. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
Chen Binghui thought for a while and said: "We will wait until then. Now let's make money first."
Li Muye looked at his determined and steady eyes, and his confidence suddenly doubled. After spending two months together day and night, Li Muye still couldn't say he fully understood this sworn elder brother. What does his family look like in the capital? He has eight biological sisters, so it should at least be a big family. And what did he do when he was serving in the army? How did he develop such strong skills? How did he get in touch with someone like Wei Dongming
If he didn't talk about these things, Li Muye wouldn't ask. But not asking doesn’t mean you’re not curious. Therefore, Li Muye has been quietly observing him in daily life. Brother Ah Fai likes to drink very much, but his drinking capacity is average. I usually fall asleep after drinking too much, and there is no time to tell the truth after drinking. This self-disciplined style was obviously developed at some stage in the army. In addition, he also has the habit of exercising, and his explosive power and endurance are almost perfectly unified.
This second habit was also passed on to Li Muye.
For more than two months, Li Muye was coerced by him to exercise together every day. He often said that a person who wants to live a fulfilling life must first take care of his body. The face is given by his parents, but the knife to sculpt the body is in his own hands. People's destiny is in their own hands. Whether it is health or wealth, if you work hard and overcome laziness, you will definitely gain something.
Although he often mocked himself as a martial artist, Li Muye learned many profound philosophies from him that even educated people may not be able to understand.
Free and easy, self-disciplined, relieved, optimistic, persistent in feelings, and ruthless towards enemies.
If Chen Binghui is like a noble gentleman living among the people, Li Muye is a native of the world who has been raised in bitter waters.
Cunning, suspicious, courageous, lethargic, adventurous, extremely cautious, insecure, and willing to risk his life and fortune at critical moments.
Two very complementary young people came together. Faced with the prince's invitation, the two brothers finally decided to accept the invitation.
Hulunbuir Grassland is the largest grassland in the world. It is named after the two lakes Hulun and Beir. It is rich in water and grass and has magnificent scenery. It covers 380,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the total area of the mainland of Japan. Driving on the vast grassland, all the way to the west, chasing the footsteps of the sunset. When the sunset gradually faded away, Bell Lake suddenly appeared in front, and the red light dyed the sky and the earth into one color.
Chen Binghui suddenly braked and stopped there. He looked straight at the beautiful scenery in front of him. He didn't know what kind of sad past memories he was reminded of, but his eyes filled with tears and he started to cry and howl. At this time, what he needed was not relief. Li Muye took two bottles of beer from the back and silently opened the two cans.
With the beer in his throat, Chen Binghui's mood gradually stabilized. Watching the sunset completely disappear, the sparkling Bell Lake under the car lights has a quiet beauty. The two of them sat on the front hood, the night wind was getting colder, and the taste of the beer was only two words: cold.
Chen Binghui drank the fourth can of beer and then opened the fifth.
This was very unusual. He had drank alcohol before, but always in moderation, even though he drank frequently.
Four cans of beer were all he had, and now he opened the fifth, indicating that he wanted to get drunk.
"About six years ago, a comrade of mine died by another lake. We were performing a secret mission abroad at the time. We couldn't bring his body back home, so we had to bury him in a foreign country." After getting drunk. Chen Binghui gradually began to talk more and more: "We all know that everyone will die eventually. The process is the whole life. Some people have a long process, while some people only have a short one. I have served for ten years and witnessed nine The short life of a comrade."
"You drank too much. We have to visit the prince at his house tomorrow." Li Muye opened the last can of beer and drank it in one gulp.
Chen Binghui flattened the empty can in his hand and threw it away, saying, "Aren't you always curious about what happened to me in the army? Why don't you take the opportunity to pour me a few more cans, so that you can tell the truth after drinking or something?"
"You will naturally say it when you want to say it." Li Muye said: "For example, I have never told you about my family situation. Didn't you also ask me?"
Chen Binghui said: "There are some things that you can't say even if you want to. If you can say it, I will say it without asking, as long as you want to know."
Li Muye said: "Now I just want to know how I can make it up without revealing my family background when he asks about my family background after meeting with the prince tomorrow?"
The prince's home is on a meadow less than a hundred miles west of Bell Lake.
There is no endless red wall that blocks everything, and there are no Mongolian men patrolling on horseback with loaded weapons and ammunition. A golden extra-large yurt, a group of blue and white yurts a few sizes smaller, and a large group of enthusiastic men and women who are good at singing and dancing are the prince's home.
As soon as I met the prince, he said, this is my home, and the venues in the city are just places for work and car storage.
The prince is forty years old this year. His original surname is Qiyan, a Mongolian, and his surname is Qi. He named himself Qitian. It means paying tribute to the Immortal God.
Counting from the first day we visited, we didn't talk about anything serious for three consecutive days, just drinking and eating meat.
The lamb cooked with cobblestones and carrots is plump and tender, with a mellow taste and excellent texture. Just drink the purest kumiss and it will be mindless.
The entire yurt camp is surrounded by simple fences, and dozens of large Mongolian four-eyed mastiffs are kept inside. This kind of mastiff is extremely territorial and will bark and threaten strangers, ready to attack at any time. In the past few days, Li Muye was always frightened when going to the toilet.
Strangely enough, as soon as Chen Binghui appeared, the mastiffs would immediately bend their hind legs like a mouse seeing a cat, tuck their tails, and lie down with their bellies exposed, without even having the courage to scream. Let Chen Binghui go over and scratch their bellies lovingly.
Qi Tian said that Brother Chen had murderous intent.
This also confirmed a suspicion that Li Muye had always had: his sworn brother had killed someone before.
On the fourth day, four off-road vehicles came outside the fence. The prince waved his hand and led a group of people on to the vehicle. Chen Binghui drove and pulled Li Muye behind him, all the way to a repair shop in the suburbs of Hulunbuir City. Factory compound.
After three days of drinking and sleeping in a yurt with Qi Tian and his family, the two brothers finally became qualified to negotiate business.
Qitian said, this is how the Mongolian people do business. Let’s drink first. After drinking, we can talk about anything. If you don’t drink well, there’s no need to talk about anything.
Li Muye felt that what he said was not entirely true. There must be something else going on behind the scenes these days, but I can't say what it is exactly. In the past three days, Qi Tian has been observing Li Muye and Chen Binghui, and Li Muye has not been observing Qi Tian.
This person is far from being as rough and simple as he appears on the outside.
Li Qizhi once said that this world is realistic and cruel. When people walk in the world, a truly rough person cannot achieve great things. People who achieve great things are often rough with some finesse, and they are particularly fine. People who are shrewd on the outside may not be truly shrewd. Those who are rough on the outside are definitely smart on the inside.
Li Muye was twenty years old, only half the age of Qi Tian. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make up for the gap accumulated over the years. So the only thing to do is to err on the side of caution. Be cautious in your words and actions, and take every step carefully.
In Qitian's office, the three of them were seated as guest and host.
Qi Tian's first sentence: "A few days ago, Political Commissar Cao of the Military Region raised the Military Region's Vehicle and Ship Department. Before leaving, he told me about you two."
Li Muye didn't know how to answer this sentence and hesitated.
"Cao Hongming is a very talkative person." Chen Binghui jumped in and said, "But what he said may not be entirely true. Xiaoye's father has never worked in the Mongolian area. How can Cao Hongming know Xiaoye? Even he and I can't. We met once during a mission, what did he say about us?"
Qi Tian smiled and said: "Political Commissar Cao is an old friend of mine, and he would never make such a joke with me. He said that the two of them are prefixed with Beijing, and asked me to entertain them well no matter what. As for How we deal with each other in the future depends on what you two want."
Li Muye read two words from his smiling face: flattery.
The question just now was regarded as the last test. After getting a satisfactory result, his demeanor changed from the cautious and polite before to being deliberate and flattering.
Chen Binghui's reaction was a little indifferent and said: "Lao Qi, since you have said this, I can't hide anything from you anymore. Xiaoye came out this time because he actually had some conflicts with his family. In a short period of time, I didn’t intend to have anything to do with the family at all. We brothers have a good relationship, so I asked for leave from the chief and accompanied him out. I know his thoughts best, which is that he wanted to do something in his career to show off to his family, so, If you came to us because you need help from the chief, then we can say goodbye now, because we two brothers are now like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and we really can't help you."
This hard-to-get, mixed truth and falsehood statement is wonderful and accurate. On the surface it sounded like the door was closed, but in fact it gave Qi Tian a lot of room for imagination. And this arrogant attitude of rejecting others can greatly enhance the truthfulness of this lie.
Qitian's smile not only did not diminish, but even grew stronger. He said: "How could it be possible? How dare I cause trouble to the chief? The fact that the two of you are willing to stay and study business together is already a great honor to me, but I don't dare to think about getting into a relationship with the chief. "
Chen Binghui nodded and said: "Since Lao Qi, you are sincere in cooperating, let's continue to talk in detail. Before we start talking, I said something ugly at the front. The two of us only deal with legal business. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qi Tian said: "Understand, I actually don't have any illegal business."
Li Muye nodded: "That's good."
Chen Binghui said: "This is how it is now. Xiaoye exchanged some US dollars a while ago, and he has plenty of cash on hand. If the negotiation goes smoothly today, we will order a batch of goods first, and you can decide the price."
Qi Tian immediately said: "Thirty percent of the price from normal domestic channels. I will cover all the procedures and certifications. No matter how many vehicles you want, I will be responsible for delivering them to your doorstep..." He asked in reply: "You two How much do you plan to get?"
Li Muye was just about to say that he would bring ten cars to see the market first.
Chen Binghui rushed to say again: "We want all the inventory in your yard. Is there no problem with payment when the goods arrive?" (End of Chapter)
