Chu Qinchuan said that crying is a technical job. Some people have cultivated this skill to the top and cried all over the world.
Li Muye's tear glands have never been developed, but during the limited number of sad separations, there were times when he burst into tears because of his deep feelings.
The gates of the Gurnov estate are open, and Orthodox Christians are buried three days after death, but if conditions permit, the funeral takes a full forty days.
There was a feeling of solemn sadness in the manor. The living room was converted into a mourning hall, and a banquet was arranged in a temporary greenhouse. There were honey porridge, pizza, rice pudding, caviar, and vodka on the table. The memorial tablet is placed in the mourning hall. There were photos of Gurnov during his lifetime, and food and vodka were offered as offerings. According to Russian custom, the worship lasts for 40 days. After 40 days, the spiritual tablets and offerings can be removed, and then a monument can be erected for the deceased.
Orthodox Christianity believes that the underworld after death is divided into heaven and hell. Heaven is the world of paradise, and hell is the place where evildoers are punished. However, the path to heaven and hell after death is not simple. Whether a person goes to heaven or hell is decided by his soul 40 days after death. Therefore, within 40 days after the funeral, relatives should continue to pray for the deceased in order to pray that the deceased can ascend to heaven.
Li Muye, accompanied by Chu Qinchuan, followed by Lao Cui, Andre and Bai Peng, walked into the mourning hall.
Petrovich had already received Timov's notice and had been waiting for a long time with a group of key members of the Tire Gang.
Gurnov's family members all ran away, and the ruthless woman took away all the wealth in Gurnov's name. She took away everything she could, and entrusted the attorney to auction what could not be taken away. This estate has also been listed for auction.
These people have worked for Gurnov for many years, and some of them have lived here for a long time like family members. The fall of Gurnov directly caused the trees to fall and the hozens to scatter. These people will soon become lonely ghosts living on the streets. . Li Muye's eyes swept over their faces, and he saw that each of these tough men were filled with grief and anger, and they lowered their heads in silence. It is conceivable that if their worries cannot be properly resolved, once these people take to the streets, they will inevitably become a huge factor of instability.
"Godfather!" A tragic cry suddenly erupted in the quiet mourning hall. In full view of everyone, Li Muye suddenly burst out into a loud cry of grief. With tears streaming down his face, he threw himself in front of Gurnov's memorial tablet and cried loudly. He said in Russian: "I'm sorry for you!" At this point, the pain was uncontrollable, and he stamped his feet and beat his chest and continued: "If I hadn't been negligent and made you experience the grief of losing a child, you wouldn't have left. So sudden!"
"But this is all a misunderstanding. We have been working together for more than a year and have already established a deep relationship. The day you came to the company, you insisted on accepting me as your godson and asked me to take over the livelihood of these brothers on your behalf. , you also said that you are old and your sons are not talented. You only hope that someone can continue to take care of them in a hundred years. I agreed at the time, but one night a few days later, an accident happened. In the name of God, I I swear it was an accident, I just wanted to teach my dear brother a lesson.”
Li Muye cried until his heart broke, and kept mumbling: "I will never forgive myself. If I could have predicted such a result, even if Leonid is a bastard, as his brother, I would be more I should tolerate and protect him and slowly bring him to the right track, but I was impulsive..." At this point, he suddenly choked up, rolled his eyes, and fainted from crying.
Chu Qinchuan hurriedly supported Li Muye and pretended to massage him twice before Li Muye slowly woke up. After regaining his breath a little, he immediately turned around and rushed to the coffin. He cried out in grief, stamped his feet and beat his chest, and continued: "God, I am guilty. Please let me take the place of my adoptive father. I really don't have the face to face this anymore." Loyal Tire Gang brothers! They are still so young, and they give all their respect and love to my beloved adoptive father... "
The people around him, except Chu Qinchuan, were all stunned. Emotionally fragile people, such as Lao Cui, were already in tears. Although Andre didn't shed tears, he still looked sad. But Bai Peng was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and wanted to cry a few times, but his acting skills were not good, and it was thundering but not raining.
Li Muye cried endlessly. The sorrow in his voice and the sincerity of his feelings deeply moved everyone in the Tire Gang. Petrovich came forward many times to persuade Li Muye to go into the greenhouse to have something to eat and a drink to calm his nerves.
Li Muye repeatedly refused, but comforted Petrovich: "My dear brother Petrovich, I can't suppress my sadness at this moment. This terrible thing happened too suddenly. There are many people outside now." Rumor has it that I got the biggest share of the cake when my adoptive father left. These people with ulterior motives hope to see more than a thousand Tire Gang brothers living on the streets. They are afraid that I am with you, and they are afraid that the power left behind by my adoptive father will become their nightmare. , that’s why they want to instigate our relationship.”
Petrovich said: “My respected Chinese brother, I, Petrovich, fully believe in your respect for Mr. Gurnov, and I don’t think you will take advantage of the career left by Mr. Gurnov. "
Li Muye took his hand and said: "Of course, I will not sit back and watch the legacy left by my adoptive father be destroyed by those slanderous villains. My dear brother Petrovich, I solemnly promise to continue When I come down, I will acquire Gurnov Manor, but I am not going to live here. Instead, I will continue to hand it over to you and the brothers from the Tire Gang to live and manage. That ruthless woman sold everything including the aluminum ore factory. I They will all buy it and leave it to you to continue operating it.”
These words are undoubtedly good news for Petrovich and others. If Li Muye came here arrogantly and dropped these words, they would probably not be able to accept it. But for Li Muye to say these words in this way and at such a time, it was really a timely help for everyone in the Tire Gang.
Li Muye continued: "My dear brothers, you don't have to worry about your future life, nor do you have to worry about the armed secret police outside the manor. My adoptive father has left, and you still have me. In the days to come, I will uphold my righteousness." The father’s legacy will bring you a more glorious future…”
Everyone in the Tire Gang headed by Petrovich looked at each other in bewilderment. It took them a while to react. First they were in disbelief, and finally they were surprised. They all called Ula in unison.
Chu Qinchuan whispered in Li Muye's ear: The heat is up, and if the performance continues, it will be over. It is best to have a good talk with Petrovich alone.
Li Muye calmly raised his forehead, turned to look at Petrovich, and said, "My dear brother Peter, are you willing to believe me?"
This even represents the abbreviation of intimacy.
Petrovich nodded without hesitation, beat his chest with one hand, and said: "Yes, my Chinese brother, I, Petrovich, am willing to accept you as our brother."
Li Muye said: "I came today. In addition to condolences to my adoptive father, I also brought some not-so-good news. I can only tell you alone for the time being."
Petrovich said: "Let's go to the study and talk."
Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and the Moscow night illuminated by the moonlight was particularly enchanting.
Li Muye was holding a wine glass, and across from him was Petrovich, who never drank.
"I know that I am not the only buyer, but Mr. Timov is willing to support my acquisition unconditionally. What I need to confirm now is your attitude." Li Muye put down his wine glass and said, "Before you make a decision, I What I want to tell you is that what I need is not a thug and follower, what I need is a partner who can stand on the center of the stage and take charge of his own role, and I am very optimistic about you."
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Petrovich was indeed moved, but he was still hesitant. Because Li Muye hasn't come up with specific chips yet, and others have promised great benefits, but that person's conditions are a bit harsh, Petrovich's idea is to wait and see, in the absence of other better options. Only accept it later.
After Gurnov's death, the assets were entrusted to be auctioned. Before Li Muye came forward, only the metal export giant Chalmov expressed interest. Although Gurnov left behind high-quality assets, ordinary people would not dare to take over because of the existence of the Tire Gang. Because once you take over, it means taking over the livelihood of the entire tire gang at the same time. Petrovich is not a man of faith who is easy to control, and the Tire Gang is even more notorious. If he does not have the strength to take over rashly, it is easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Charmov is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As one of the big oligarchs who was once as famous as Gurnov, he has an absolute dominance in the metal export industry. He also has a powerful private armed force and is currently working with the government. There is also close cooperation. The condition he offered to Petrovich was 10% of the equity, which was undoubtedly a huge offer, but he also put forward a condition that was unacceptable to Petrovich, which was to disband the Tire Gang.
"Sir, I have no doubt about your sincerity, but I must first determine my value in your eyes before I can make a final decision!" Petrovich said.
"No matter how much others give you, I will give you five percent more than him." Li Muye said: "The only additional condition is that you must ensure a smooth transition of the Tire Gang. I don't want to abandon any of these brothers."
"Sir, I'm afraid this will require a lot of money." Petrovich said: "Based on what I know about you, you shouldn't be able to complete the acquisition."
Li Muye said: "If the acquisition is completed at the current price, my funds are indeed a little insufficient."
"So, you need to find a way to lower the price first." Petrovich said: "If you have no competitors, there may be hope."
"Because of this competitor, it may be easier to do it." Li Muye said: "I am a Chinese, and I came here just to do business and make money, but Charmov is not like that!" Li Muye learned from Peter Lovich read a knowing look on his face, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The government holds 41% of the equity of the Agricultural and Industrial Bank, and Gurnov retains 39%. If The government is willing to lower the price... "
"If so, it is indeed possible for you to complete the acquisition." Petrovich said: "It seems that you have already obtained a commitment from Mr. Timov."
"It's not just a promise, there's also bad news." Li Muye said: "Timov's patience is limited. The things you ordered the Tire Gang brothers to do before made him very unhappy, so he has already Decided to take some coercive measures against you."
"Ah!" Petrovich cried out: "What on earth is this savage bear going to do?"
Li Muye said: "Of course he doesn't want Charmov's acquisition to succeed, and the biggest obstacle blocking other people's interest in Gurnov's industry is the tire gang. It is difficult for serious businessmen to accept this unstable explosive package. Therefore, in Before the auction begins, he hopes to disarm the explosive package first."
These words were reasonable, and the cause and effect were clear. Petrovich could easily determine its authenticity. He changed his color and said: "This KGB bear is always so self-righteous!" Then he asked expectantly: "Mr. Li, since you have decided to acquire and want to retain the Tire Gang, I think you will not sit idly by and ignore it. ?" (End of this chapter)
