In October, the banks of the Moscow River were already filled with desolate winter scenes.
Li Muye came to Riverside Park at Chen Binghui's invitation, and the two of them walked in the forest with autumn yellow all over the ground.
"My mission is over, and it's time to return to China." Chen Binghui said, "After I go back this time, I won't go out in the field again. There will be much less unfettered free time like this in the future."
"Can't we just leave?" Li Muye said childishly, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't dare close my eyes while sleeping."
Chen Binghui smiled and said: "Lao Cui's kid is quite good and has good understanding. I taught him a few tricks and he is more than enough to deal with ordinary gangsters. If there really is an elite team of Alpha's level to deal with you, The result of my staying here will not be better than if he is by your side."
He paused slightly and then said: "After this level, there will be very few places where I will be used again. Xiaoye, you are mature enough. Not only do you have a unique vision for business, but you also have Timov's help. Continue to stay." There will definitely be a lot of success here.”
Li Muye said: "I have to expand my business and cooperate with Gurnov. I also have to deal with the federal government. The most uneasy thing is that I have to beware of Sister Chen making an issue with me again..."
"Don't worry." Chen Binghui interrupted: "Second sister has promised me that I will not use you for intelligence business anymore. She always means what she says!"
Li Muye said: "Does that mean I don't have to continue working as an intelligence broker?"
Chen Binghui nodded and said: "Everything the second sister wants has been obtained through you. Both Karelina and Timov are veterans in this industry, and they have always been very wary. If you hadn't saved her daughter that day, to a certain extent, I won the trust of Karelina, and it was difficult for the second sister to completely drag the couple into trouble. The matter has been successfully resolved today. My second sister is not Chu Qinchuan, and she will not be so dogmatic in killing someone who has contributed to the country. The businessman was silenced."
Li Muye was stunned for a moment, feeling a little excited. He seems to be talking to himself, but also seems to be asking Chen Binghui: "Am I a person who has contributed? To the country?"
Chen Binghui smiled: "Brother, of course you have contributed, and this contribution is very big."
Li Muye was excited: "So I'm still the hero?"
Chen Binghui said: "Great hero!" He added: "But I haven't given you a penny less of the commission that should be given to you. It can be regarded as a reward."
Li Muye actually felt a little ashamed: "Speaking of which, you people are the real heroes, but you don't get any rewards."
Chen Binghui patted Li Muye on the shoulder and said, "This is the way of life we chose. Compared with those who fell down and never got up, those of us who are alive have nothing to complain about." The topic changed and he added: "Ti After Mofu is promoted, he will only cherish his feathers even more, and he will never touch that area of business again. Although you have cut off a way to make money, you are also far away from the most dangerous business. You can decide for yourself how to go in the future."
Li Muye suddenly thought of Jin Xiangji's group and couldn't help but feel a headache. He hurriedly said: "Brother Hui, I have another headache I want to ask you about."
Chen Binghui smiled and said: "If you want to ask about Jin Xiangji, then I can only say that I can't help you, but I can give you a suggestion. It would be best if you can recruit this woman. If not, send her away as soon as possible. You have helped her before. I don’t owe her anything, but if she is willing to give up her original position for you, with her professionalism, she can be a very good helper.”
After saying these words, Chen Binghui said goodbye, and Li Muye reluctantly left with tears.
For several days, major newspapers published news related to Karpov's death in prominent places. Major General Timov, who is already the Deputy Minister of the Interior, still feels like he is dreaming.
Li Muye was half lying on the sofa, bickering and joking with little Katya who was already babbling. Karelina held up her round belly and the two of them cut fruit. This kind of treatment even exceeds that of blood-related siblings.
"Brother-in-law, please give me an answer as to whether we can handle this matter." Li Muye glanced at Timov, who came out of the study with a serious face, and said in Chinese: "You are always wasting your time with me. It’s not a big deal, I’ve been living here for almost a week.”
Karelina smiled and said: "Isn't this great? You can always live at my sister's house. The conditions are much better than that house in the southern suburbs. It's so chaotic outside now. You Chinese can easily be bullied by those barbaric bad guys." .”
Timov said in broken Chinese: "You are wrong about this. It would be nice if your brother didn't bully others."
Sometimes, respecting each other's mother tongue is also an attitude.
Li Muye laughed and said, "You'd better speak Russian, otherwise I won't understand what you are saying."
Timov hummed and said in Russian: "Brother, I didn't mean to delay you about that matter, but I need time to figure out whether your plan is feasible, which needs to be evaluated from multiple aspects. "After a pause, he continued: "You know that the federal government from top to bottom has long been deeply disgusted by the evil influence of the oligarchic economy, especially Gurnov and Yurisky. I am particularly disgusted, but you want the federal government to cooperate with Gurnov to grow food... "
"This food will eventually enter the belly of the Russian people!" Li Muye interrupted him and said: "First, he and I have a cooperative relationship, and there is no affiliation or control by him; second, As far as I know, Gurnov was fined and confiscated a lot of property after that prison sentence. Now he is a toothless tiger, and all he has left is to survive; thirdly, the purpose of the federal government in dealing with the oligarchs is not to Their fate is to make them obedient and serve the Federation.”
Taking a piece of sweet orange from Karelina's hand, after eating it, she continued: "I know where your concerns lie. To be honest, your worries are not unreasonable. Compared with Gurnov, I have this little strength." Although it is insignificant, once the cooperation deepens, he will have countless ways to gain dominance, which of course the Federation does not want to see."
"Yes." Timov nodded: "We have been weakening them. Gurnov is no longer a threat. It is really stupid to give him such a chance to make a comeback at this time."
"What if we can bring him under his wing?" Li Muye said in surprise: "What kind of impact will an oligarch who has been taken under his wing have on the other guys who are still hanging on? Think about it, if we do it, Wouldn’t the effect be better than squeezing him to death?”
There are actually many reasons why the oligarchs refuse to give in. Among the more prominent ones, one is for dignity; the other is for the wealth in hand; and the third is concern for their own wealth and life. If it is true as Li Muye said, Gurnov can be successfully incorporated, it will indeed have a very positive pilot role in disintegrating the oligarchic alliance. It's just easier said than done.
"To recruit him? What to use to recruit him? How about using your total wealth of less than 100 million US dollars?" Timov asked angrily.
"Of course I can't do it alone." Li Muye chuckled: "But if the relevant parties in the government are willing to support me, then everything will be different."
"What difference does it make? So far the federal government hasn't been able to do much about him."
Li Muye said: "Bullets from the front are easy to defend, but if the bullet is coated with a layer of syrup, then even the cunning old bear will be fooled." Then he said: "This old guy Gurnov is holding the grain import. Channel, as the last straw, but everyone knows that he will not be able to last for long if he continues like this. The actual situation is that if someone in the international community hadn't made trouble, the federal government would have gotten rid of him long ago. He himself knows this very well. .”
"Then what?" Timov asked next.
Li Muye said: "Although he is arrogant and conceited, he is not a lunatic. Otherwise, he would have attacked me long ago. And my judgment that he might compromise is based on this detail. I think if in this case, the federal government If I give him a chance to cooperate, how likely do you think he will refuse?"
Timov thought for a while and felt that this matter seemed feasible. He suddenly became energetic. He waved his hand to Karelina to take the child out for a while. He looked at Li Muye intently and said with great interest: "Go on. .”
"I only have a rough idea of the specific operation method, and the details can be discussed further." Li Muye continued: "There is a preliminary agreement on cross-share exchange between me and Gurnov. On the surface, it gives him a peace I have the opportunity to merge, but when it comes to the specific operation, if I introduce the government as a third party and use land as equity to cooperate with him, do you think it will be so easy for him to take the lead?"
Timov's eyes lit up and he said: "The most indispensable thing in Russia is land. As long as we provide enough land contracts to Makino Agricultural Company, no matter how many assets he has, it will be in vain. In this way, we can counter-annex through you." His equity in Agricultural and Industrial Bank.”
Li Muye said: "In this way, I will make a lot of money for nothing with the support of the federal government."
Timov smiled and said: "But my dear brother, you are Chinese and will never grow into a financial oligarch like Gurnov."
Li Muye said in Chinese: "I'm just an ignorant and fearless child. It's okay to run errands and practice speaking. You are the ones who really play the leading role."
As Li Qizhi taught, an outstanding con man will always avoid being the protagonist in the spotlight. He only performs behind the scenes. When he steps on the stage, he must try his best to play that inconspicuous role. It doesn't matter if you act a little shabby, making money is the goal.
In this matter, Li Muye's goal was very clear, which was to use the federal government to plunder Gurnov's money. And he must be willing to accept it. In the long run, this is a very risky plan, but in the short term it has extremely profitable effects.
Timov was finally convinced and decided to support Li Muye's plan.
