Northern Russia is a vast and sparsely populated country, and the most abundant thing is land, so it is very simple to build a house here. Although Northern Russia at this time has not yet reached the crazy standard of later generations where almost every family has a country house, but in

Various manors can often be seen in the suburbs.

The Cullen Villa is a luxurious villa located in the eastern suburbs of Crisco. On the seventh day after the privatization reform in North Russia began, many cars have arrived here one after another since noon.

In the courtyard of the villa, tables and wine glasses have been set up, and many beautiful girls dressed as maids are walking through it, setting up tables and chairs. It is obvious that a grand banquet will be held here.

For this kind of banquet for the upper class, it is generally a good opportunity for everyone to socialize with each other and expand their personal connections and business circles. Just like the banquet of a certain sea that was criticized in later generations, no matter how bad the rumors are by the outside world, it still remains

It was held on time and everyone who participated enjoyed it.

Of course, this is not for those green tea girls and the wonderful women's projects inside. In fact, those who can participate in such a grand feast have tens of millions of dollars in wealth, and many of them come here on private jets. Such rich people want to

Women are not simple and need to waste time and go all the way to do this.

These people participate in such feasts more to expand their connections and expand their circles. Only with more and more business partners will the business grow bigger and bigger, and the way to make money will become easier and easier.

, as for women, they are just a way of communication, or entertainment after communication. Just like the joke says: The two pillars of life have carried guns together and visited prostitutes together.

The form of clubs was introduced into the country from the West. Northern Russia may not belong to the Western world, but some things are still connected.

Although the banquet has not officially started yet, the socializing at the banquet has already begun.

Inside and outside this villa, as long as there is an open area, you can see businessmen or officials with status who came to attend the banquet. They gathered together in twos and threes, everyone toasted and talked.

Hello Mr. Comodo, I am in charge of a forest farm in the east. I know that you are a paper tycoon in our country. I hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I believe that my forest farm and your paper factory will be able to reach a higher level.

of

Of course, in fact, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you. After all, the eastern mountain range has a large area of ​​rich forest resources, which are inexhaustible.

Some people discuss business directly when they come up, while others are not so direct, but instead develop common interests and hobbies first.

Opera is a very elegant art. I have always been particularly fond of this art. The high-spirited singing and beautiful melodies make me intoxicated every time I hear them. My favorite is the song Turandot.

No one will sleep tonight. Now there happens to be a professional opera singer here. We can definitely ask her to perform for us.

This kind of caviar is very delicious. When you take it into your mouth, you can feel them exploding in your mouth, and the juices flowing across it are really intoxicating.

My father and grandfather are both proud knights, so I also like riding horses very much. When I have time, I can take you to my horse farm to see, or we can ride horses together and play a hearty game of polo together, as long as you

Be sure to wear protective gear, I don't want to see any accidents

These or other conversations may sound unrelated, but in fact they are just a kind of communication. The conversation is not the point. The point is to let everyone never know each other and then work together in the same circle.

Make a fortune.

When the social interaction in the villa was in full swing, suddenly a very impressive car drove into the villa, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the villa.

The car stopped at the designated location, and then a balding middle-aged man in his forties got out of the car. When they saw this man's appearance, there was a commotion at the scene, and many people immediately walked towards the middle-aged man.

, surrounding him like stars over the moon.

Dear Mr. Ilbedov, I am very glad that I had the opportunity to come to your manor to attend this grand banquet and to witness the legend of Mr. Ilbedov with my own eyes. If I had missed this banquet, I would not have been able to see him.

Mr. Ilbedov, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life.

This bald middle-aged man is Ilbedov, now the president of the United Bank of Northern Russia. Hearing the compliments from these people, his face was full of smiles. He waved his hands and said: Don't say that, either.

I am just an ordinary businessman, not a big shot. If I see it, I will see it. If I don’t see it, I will not see it. There is no regret in this.

After hearing what Ilbedov said, someone immediately objected: Oh no, no, Mr. Ilbedov, how can you say that? You are the pioneer of privatization reform in Northern Russia. If you hadn't

We have opened this different door, and I am afraid that we will still be like in the past, guarding a golden mountain, but never knowing how to develop and utilize it.

Someone took the lead, and others naturally followed suit and said: Yes, Mr. Ilbedov is a follower of all our North Russian businessmen. Now he is not only the largest shareholder of the United Bank, but also integrated the major shareholders of the Southern Oilfield and Natural Gas Company.

Giant, if you, Mr. Ilbedov, are not considered a big shot, then I’m afraid there won’t be any big shots in our entire Northern Russian Republic.

Ilbedov chuckled. He had indeed been very happy this week. He used to be the president of the United Bank and was also a well-known person in Northern Russia, but he was far from reaching the heights he is now. What's more, because

Due to political reasons, he is still the target of suppression. Many people with connections don't take him seriously at all. How could he be the rising star in China like he is now?

Now he is not only the big boss of the United Bank of North Russia, but also holds more than one-fifth of the capital flow in the entire North Russia. In addition to his business operations, he has also integrated the energy companies in the south, and there is a vague idea of ​​​​a

The prototype of financial oligarchy.

For such a huge force, even the head of state must respect him, and other businessmen in Northern Russia must take him as their goal and example, so when he appears here today, everyone will

Everyone gathered around him, making him the focus of the entire banquet.

Mr. Ilbedov, the situation in Northern Russia is changing every day. Today we held such a banquet and invited so many like-minded friends from all over the country to come together. There must be some important decision.

Bar

Someone asked Ilbedov, and others immediately nodded and looked at him. No one who can be invited here today is a fool, so everyone understands that Ilbedov must have a purpose for doing this today.

Ilbedov did not hide this. He said: Since the privatization reform, I believe everyone has benefited a lot from this matter, but I want to tell everyone that these benefits are not the final benefits, because

These benefits were obtained through our own abilities, and the time was too short. If something unexpected happened, we would probably lose everything.

Everyone kept nodding along with Ilbedov's words, and listened to him more attentively with his words, because what Ilbedov said was exactly what they were worried about.

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, there are big problems with the property they acquired. In addition, the long-standing totalitarian system, no matter how it is reformed now, still makes them feel very unsure, and they are afraid that one day they will do it themselves.

The money will be taken away by the state again, as it has been for decades.

So Ilbedov held this banquet today just to tell us how to do it? Someone asked him.

This is one aspect, Ilbedov nodded and said, but I think the most important thing today is that we should all unite to face another challenge in the future.

Ilbedov's words stunned everyone. Obviously, no one understood what he meant by this challenge. Ilbedov didn't explain much about it. He just said: Okay.

Okay, let's chat more with each other first, the banquet will start soon.

This sentence aroused everyone's interest: Why, Mr. Ilbedov, you are already here and the banquet hasn't started yet?

Ilbedov shook his head and said: Of course not, because we still have to wait for the most important guest.

Everyone took a breath and looked at Ilbedov in disbelief, because the Ilbedov of today is no longer the Ilbedov of the past. He has the potential to become the largest financial oligarch in North Russia.

A person, no matter his status, must be extraordinary, so now he says that the reason why the banquet has not started is because he has to wait for the most important guest. Who will this guest be?

Mr. Ilbedov, is the guest you are waiting for the president of our republic or an important leader?

Someone asked him this, because in everyone's opinion, the only people who could make Ilbedov wait like this were national leaders or an important official from the central government.

But Ilbedov gave an answer that no one expected: This guest is not an official of our country, he is not even a person from our country, his name is Zhou Ming.

This answer made everyone look at each other. No one understood what he meant by that, but they didn't need to guess any more. When Ilbedov finished speaking, the housekeeper of the villa came over to report to him that the guest

When they arrived, Ilbedov immediately said sorry to everyone and walked towards the gate of the villa with the housekeeper.
Chapter completed!
