Money and power are like twins.
As the so-called time makes heroes, since the great changes ten years ago, the oligarchy that controls huge wealth has become the main voice of Russian national political life.
Gurnov is one of the prestigious oligarchs. The Agricultural and Industrial Bank of the Russian Federation under his leadership is the fifth largest bank in Russia. The Moscow Food Company, which is controlled by the bank, is the second largest food import company in the Russian Federation. At the same time, he also holds shares. The largest grain import and export company in the Russian Federation, St. Petersburg Food Company.
The bald head is Petrovich, the head of the biggest gang of tire gangs in southern Moscow and a capable man of Gurnov.
Andrei said on the phone that this Gurnov is one of the most powerful men in the Federation, and he even went to jail for trying to prevent the current President of the Federation from coming to power. But soon he was released on bail for medical treatment. Although he is very simple and acts low-key now, anyone who is really familiar with the power structure of this country knows that he still holds the food pockets of the Russians. Therefore, as long as he does not do anything extraordinary, even Mr. President will not be under the constitutional framework. How dare to treat him.
What does this bastard want to see me mean
Li Muye figured it out for a while and understood that his colleagues are enemies, and it seems that he has encountered other people's cakes.
Petrovich came to the door and asked him to be more polite. When he was ready to freshen up, Cui introduced that Gurnov had an aluminum mine in his hand, which was managed by the Tire Gang. If someone dares to provoke his authority, send a tire gang to catch that person to the mine and stuff it into the huge engineering truck tire. The victim was either suffocated alive or squeezed to death. The name of the horror of the tire gang also came from this.
Old Cui wanted to go with him, but Li Muye refused.
"You have a wife and children, and your responsibility is greater than mine."
Old Cui wanted to insist. Li Muye held him down and said: "If he is going to deal with me, do you think it will be useful to have one more? Petrovich came to ask me alone, indicating that he has no plans yet at least. I think it has something to do with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. It may also be that he thinks I am useful. In short, this matter is not solved by strength, and it will not help if you go."
Old Cui was deeply moved and said, "Boss, you are good enough to us. For you, I am willing to give my life, and I believe my wife is willing to accept me doing this."
Li Muye said, "If you count your wife's belly, are your three children ready to lose their father?"
Old Cui stopped suffocating, bowed his head in silence, and clenched his fists tightly.
Li Muye continued: "You are a great fighter. I am honored to meet you and become friends with you. My Russian brothers, listen to me. I believe I can return safely and drink wonderful vodka with you. ."
"Boss, if they dare to disadvantage you, I will avenge you after I settle down with my family!" Old Cui said solemnly.
Li Muye was a little touched, this Russian buddy is so real and cute. He raised his hand and grabbed a handful of his tousled curly hair, and said, "My good brother, I totally believe you will do this, but if something unexpected happens to me, I don't want you to do it, because it's not yours. Expertise, but you can contact someone for me. This person is not only capable of saving me, but also capable of avenging me." After that, he gave Chen Binghui's contact information to him, and said: "This phone is not easy to make. It must be when I am sure that I am in danger."
Lao Cui put the card away and asked, "Should I contact Miss Jin first, the people under her are quite capable."
Li Muye nodded and said, "Tell her Petrovich's car number. As for how to do it, it's up to her."
At noon, at Gurnov Manor, Li Muye dressed neatly, handed a bottle of valuable wine to the butler, and followed Petrovich into the main building of the manor-a medieval castle.
Gurnov looks much younger than his actual age. He is tall, has a slightly thin figure, thick black hair, sharp eyes, and a huge hooked nose that is particularly prominent. According to Lu Yuan, this kind of person has a desire to control Especially strong. He wore an immaculate snow-white suit and stood by the huge dining table, nodding slightly to Li Muye. With a low northern accent, he said, "Welcome, my Chinese boy friend, thank you for your red wine, but I prefer whiskey."
There were no other guests, only a chair was placed in front of Gurnov, and Li Muye sat on it without hesitation.
"My business principle is to make the right deal with the right person at the right time, and finally get the part that belongs to me." Gurnov gracefully raised his glass, took a sip, and continued: " Nothing in this world is untradeable. I will never interfere in other people’s business. So you do your intelligence business, I do my food trade, and then you make a lot of money. Mean? Young man."
"I agree with you." Li Muye said: "So I am doing what I like to do."
"It seems that you still don't understand." Gurnov said: "This year, Bisk's grain production has increased by one-third. In terms of the entire Federation, this amount is insignificant, but it is enough to make Mr. President think that Russia is OK. To achieve self-sufficiency, as long as you can rent and sell the land to you damn Chinese, or professional farmers from somewhere else."
He paused and emphasized: "Everyone needs to live. If this phenomenon spreads, it will threaten my right to survive."
Li Muye said, "I think I can probably understand what you mean."
Gurnov said: "I have to admit my respect to Director Timov, so I chose to talk to you in this way. If what I have just made you understand, I hope you can confirm it personally. "
Li Muye said: "The food business is not enough to make you big money, but it allows you to live here and enjoy life with peace of mind."
"Very good." Gurnov nodded in satisfaction, and said: "It seems that you really understand what I mean, then we can conduct a more in-depth discussion based on this principle." He made a gesture. , Petrovich walked in with a tray. Gurnov said: "Foie gras, there are the best French chefs in my estate. The taste is very authentic. Only the guests who I think are worthy have the opportunity to taste it."
Li Muye took a sip, it has a strong taste, but the taste is slightly monotonous. Pushing the plate aside, he smiled and said, "The taste can only be considered satisfactory, but I still have to thank you for your hospitality." Then he said: "I am more concerned about you and want to discuss with me than tasting your French chef's craftsmanship. topic of."
Gurnov said: "What a quick-tempered young man." He tasted a sip of foie gras and drank another sip of wine. Then he calmly continued: "You have done things in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry. It was very successful, and even attracted the attention of internal affairs officials. Before that, they had been promoting this matter, but no one dared to take over and did as successfully as you. Even I think you are an extraordinary young man. "
Li Muye heard the sound of the string, and said: "Mr. Gulnoff is also interested in my farm business?"
"I am very interested." Gurnov said: "If you want, I hope I can buy this business from you."
Li Muye said: "Buy my business? It seems that you have prepared everything?"
Gurnov said: "I can actually have many methods to make your farm lose everything, but in the end I decided to use this gentle way to solve the contradiction between you and me. Therefore, young man, I hope you can understand. Although I only invited you here, it seems that I did nothing, but I have actually made a lot of concessions."
Is this really him? Li Muye's greed and arrogance towards Lao Maozi has long been accustomed to him, and he is slanderous in his heart.
"I also hope that you can understand that if I accept your terms, it means that my team's previous efforts will be abandoned halfway. This is not only a loss of money, but it will even lose the team's centripetal force if it is not handled well." Li Muye Said: "I want to give everyone an explanation, and this naturally includes the Timovs who have provided me with a lot of help. You know, he has high hopes for my farm project."
Gurnov lowered his head and was silent for a while, suddenly he sneered, raised his head sharply, staring at Li Muye with a falcon-like gaze, and said: "I don't like the taste of rejection. A long time ago, when I was a boy of your age, In the army, my chief refused to approve my vacation request. Three months later, he died in the Moskva River drunk. Everyone said that was an accident, but only God and I knew how he fell into the river."
This is a naked threat. Li Muye could perceive Gurnov's aura and determination. But this was not enough for Li Muye to give in immediately and agree to his request. As Gulnoff himself said, the farm business does not lie in scale, but in the role of successful pilots in improving the food security of the federal government. At the same time, it will reduce the federal government's dependence on agricultural and industrial banks' food import channels.
If Gurnov took away the farm business of Nongbiske, it would be tantamount to taking away the fruits of this successful pilot. Next, if the federal government continues to expand this business to increase food production, he will do the same. Then it purchased land rented by other agricultural companies at low prices. His purpose is to use this method to get the Federation’s neck stuck. Li Muye has a backstage at the top of the government. If he can’t bear his pressure, it is conceivable that once the news spreads, other agricultural investors will be held back. .
"You can do what you want to do, and I do what I want to do." Li Muye stiffly stated: "If it is fair conditions, I would of course be more willing to make friends, but that doesn't mean I will do what I want to do. Fear of making enemies and accept any conditions that are ridiculous and shameful!"
There was a crisp sound from outside, it should be gunshots, but the distance was too far, almost invisible.
Not quite, Petrovich hurried in and whispered a few words in Gurnov's ear.
"No, no, my child, I am afraid you have misunderstood my determination and sincerity in doing this business." Gurnov seemed to be affected, and he changed his tone and said, "For me now, Money is no longer so attractive. If it can satisfy you, I don’t mind showing the utmost sincerity."
Li Muye said: "As you said before, there may be nothing in this world that cannot be traded." The gunshots outside are related to the change in Gurnov's attitude. The point is not who wins. Gunshots are also an attitude. Gurnov could not have imagined that Li Muye dared to make such a tough statement.
You can trade, but you must pay a sufficient price.
Gurnov took a deep breath and said in an irresistible tone: "Buy your farm and ranch business for 100 million US dollars."
Li Muye sneered: "Mr. Guernoff is really sincere." Slowly shook his head, and said: "Please forgive me, I think this price is not enough to match the huge price I paid, you know, if I combine farms and pastures Selling it to you means that it is helping you to fight against the high level of the federal government, and it is very likely that you will lose your right of residence in Russia.
Gurnov's attitude is very tough and resolute: "Young people, greed must have a bottom line, otherwise you will have to pay for it!" He added: "If I paid more than 100 million US dollars to buy your farm With Ranch, others would never think that I won in this competition. If the Federation uses this as a propaganda stunt, it will stimulate adventurers who are not afraid of death to think that this is a good opportunity to get rich."
Li Muye said: "Obviously, this form of cooperation for acquisitions was not established from the beginning."
"Then what should I do if I rely on you?" Gurnov's eyes shot out two cold lights, and he scanned Li Muye's every subtle move.
Li Muye knew that life and death were in an instant, and at this time he could not refer to outside help at all. But now that he is here, he is already prepared to not be able to go back alive. You Dao is always prepared for those who are prepared. What is an opportunity? What constitutes preparation? Li Muye felt that there was an opportunity, and he was ready to fight for it.
"Cross-share swaps. Use your Agricultural and Industrial Bank stocks to exchange shares with me in Muye Agricultural Company. You don't have to get the right to operate the farm, but you can participate in specific management affairs. I get financial support from the Agricultural and Industrial Bank and you can copy it. This model is rapidly expanding the farm industry." Li Muye continued: "My success can help the federal government to solve the need for food, and you still play a pivotal role in this, and at the same time, you can get a relief from the federal government. Opportunity for tension." Finally: "Mr. Gulnoff, I would like to ask, do you really think you can fight against Mr. President all the time safe and sound?"
The era of oligarchs manipulating the economy and playing politics is over. The so-called seven oligarchs and other small oligarchs have long lost their original ambition and strength. Including Gurnov, what they need now is to settle down and keep their existing wealthy lives unchanged. Timov had already mentioned this to Li Muye.
A long silence. Gurnov was thinking about trade-offs. Finally: "Boy, are you ready to leave Gurnoff Manor with your head held high?" (End of this chapter)
