In the room of Hotel No. 1, Zhou Ming was standing in front of the mirror, and Su Han helped his beloved man tidy up his clothes like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, and even the slight wrinkles on his clothes had to be carefully smoothed.

Li Cheng and Tong Gang stood aside, looking at Zhou Ming's confident appearance in the mirror, Tong Gang couldn't help but tell him: "Little brother Zhou Ming, I myself am very confident in you, I believe that Mr. Meta is willing to cooperate with us for his own consideration, but I always feel that this matter is not so easy, I think it is the first time we cooperate with Mr. Meta like this, it is better to be cautious and tentative." ”

Tong Gang thought for a while after speaking, and then said: "Little brother Zhou Ming, you can also see that it is not easy for us to get the support of these North Russian friends, and we can't live up to their trust for the first time!"

At this time, Su Han had already sorted out for Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming turned around and said to Tong Gang: "Chairman Tong, don't worry, I am measured." ”

Li Cheng also helped Zhou Ming speak: "The biggest advantage of Zhou Ming's little brother is that he can rest assured, no matter what situation he is facing, he can keep his mind clear and make the most correct decision, I have dealt with him a lot in Hong Kong City, I think I can't see people with my eyes." ”

"Actually, I'd like it to be smooth sailing, but I'm afraid some things won't be so good, at least this time. ”

After Zhou Ming said such a sentence that made Tong Gang and Li Cheng a little surprised, and then walked out of the door with Zhang Lin Karelina, there was an extended Lincoln courtesy car waiting here downstairs in the hotel, and when Zhou Ming came down, the specially trained driver helped Zhou Ming open the car door, and Zhou Ming and the three of them got into the car.

Meta was in this car, he greeted Zhou Ming first, and waited for Zhou Ming and the three of them to sit down before he said: "Mr. Zhou Ming is really punctual, we are going to the Mulin Palace now, in the previous phone call, I have discussed with Mr. Nikolavich, he will agree to hand over part of the transaction to Mr. Zhou Ming You to do, of course, in exchange, the price ratio will change, I hope Mr. Zhou Ming is prepared." ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows, but nodded and said: "This is not surprising, after all, the transaction partner has changed, and some things need to be re-discussed, but as long as the change is not too outrageous." ”

"Of course it's not too outrageous, I personally believe in Mr. Nikolavich's credibility and won't open my mouth. Meta said.

"I also believe in Mr. Meta's credibility. Zhou Ming said.

When Zhou Ming and Meta were talking in the car, the elongated Lincoln courtesy car had actually started smoothly, the location of Hotel No. 1 and the Mulin Palace was not far away, and this courtesy car was also a frequent visitor in the Mulin Palace, so it was not strictly inspected, and it was very casual to enter the Mulin Palace, and soon arrived in front of the office building, and the presidential chief of staff Cassia greeted him at the door: "Welcome Mr. Maita and Mr. Zhou Ming, Mr. President is already waiting, please come with me." ”

While speaking, Kasia glanced at Zhou Ming twice, it was not the first time that the chief butler of the Mulin Palace had seen Zhou Ming, but his feeling was that every time he saw Zhou Ming, he felt different.

Ten minutes later, Kasia led them to Nikolavich's office, but since the president was talking on the phone, they had to wait for a while in the reception room outside.

After a while, Nikolavich walked out of the office, Zhou Ming and Maita got up to greet him, and Nikolavich asked them to sit down first.

"Mr. Nikolavich, I'm sure you're all familiar with it, so I don't need to say anything more. ”

Meta said this without embarrassment, and then he said: "Mr. Zhou Ming is a business tycoon from China, and he also has many friends in North Russia, about the transaction between us, you know the rigor of the Western financial system, and in order to avoid any financial turmoil caused by the sudden withdrawal of funds, we need a certain amount of time to raise funds, but Mr. Nikolavich, you are in a hurry, I think we can make a deal with Mr. Zhou Ming first." ”

Meta pushed Zhou Ming out: "Behind Mr. Zhou Ming is the support of the Oriental Port City Foundation, which is one of the financial centers in Asia, and there are many local businessmen in North Russia, and it is very cost-effective to do business with him, I don't know what Mr. Nikolavich thinks?"

"Of course, this is very good," Nikolavich said happily, "Now that the Republic of North Russia has just been established, it turns out that the debts of the Soviet Union and all kinds of economic problems are weighing on our heads, which is a headache, and not long ago we also issued a new ruble, and we very much need a reserve of foreign exchange funds to stabilize the current exchange rate of the new ruble." ”

Nikolavich changed the conversation at this point and said: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, although I am not a businessman, I also understand some rules in the mall, since this transaction has been disassembled, then I think the amount of the transaction between us should be renegotiated." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "I very much agree with Mr. President's words, as the so-called business has business, now since it is a transaction between me and Mr. President, then it is also appropriate to talk about it again." ”

"It's great that Mr. Zhou Ming can understand," Nikolavich sighed first and then asked, "My transaction with Mr. Meta requires the purchase of 5 billion US dollars, I don't know how much money Mr. Zhou Ming can come up with in the shortest possible time?"

"Yesterday I consulted with all my friends in North Russia, and now I can come up with 100 million, and if Mr. Nikolavich can give me some more time, I don't think it will be a problem to come up with 300 million to 500 million dollars. Zhou Ming said.

This answer surprised Nikolavich a little: "Didn't you expect the Hong Kong City Consortium to be so powerful?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "Of course not, in fact, this is also Mr. President, you underestimate the strength of the private chaebols, and there is still a lot of wealth in the people, if it can be gathered, it is also very considerable." ”

"I see, it seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is more appealing than me, the president of the Republic. ”

Nikolavich gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up, and he continued: "In that case, let's talk about the 100 million dollars you can come up with right away." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said okay, Nikolavich said: "Before, on behalf of the Mulin, I talked to Mr. Meta about the purchase of 140 billion new rubles for 5 billion US dollars, so with you, Mr. Zhou Ming, it is 2 billion new rubles to buy your 100 million US dollars." ”

"Mr. President is really good at business, and with Mr. Meta it was 2.8 billion new rubles for 100 million dollars, and when he came to me, he cut off nearly a third of the new rubles. Zhou Ming said.

Nikolavich was not in a hurry about this: "Mr. Zhou Ming, this is all because of the particularity of the transaction, after all, it is very troublesome for the original transaction to change suddenly, and Mr. Zhou Ming, the amount on your side is not large, it is a drop in the bucket for our republic, in order to ensure financial stability, I must leave the greatest interests to my biggest business partner, if it is replaced by Mr. Zhou Ming, I want to do the same, right?"

"I understand what Mr. President said, but the amount of 2 billion new rubles is too little, Mr. President, you know that I am not alone, and I can't explain to my partners if you want to do this. Zhou Ming stretched out five fingers, "I understand Mr. President's mood to protect the interests of major customers and the country, but I really can't accept this amount here, I think it will cost at least 2.5 billion new rubles." ”

Nikolavich shook his head and said: "Impossible, Mr. Zhou Ming, I know that you are very convincing, but this price is absolutely impossible, I can only give up one step at most, 2.1 billion new rubles." ”

Zhou Ming also shook his head and said: "Mr. President, I am not here to bargain with you, the price I quoted is dead to the bottom limit that we can accept, if Mr. President really can't decide, I can reduce the amount to 2.3 billion new rubles, but of 1.2 billion, I hope to pay us in the form of a new Siberian oil field and the Madan gold mine, what do you think, Mr. President?"

"The new Siberian oil fields are fine, but the gold mines are not. Nikolavich said.

Zhou Ming sighed: "Well, although I really want the gold mine, I also want to live a leisurely life as a gold mine boss, but since this is an important economic lifeline of North Russia, I naturally will not force it, so can the 1.2 billion be used to offset the new Siberian oil fields?"

"Of course this is no problem, I didn't expect Mr. Zhou Ming to be such a grudgeful person, but I know the contradiction between you and Eukins. Nikolavich said.

Zhou Ming scratched his head and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this made Mr. President laugh." ”

Nikolavich smiled and said that he could understand, but in the end he spread out his hands and asked, "Mr. Zhou Ming, then the deal between us is so decided?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Of course, as long as there are no problems on your side, Mr. President, the deal can be settled like this." ”

"That's really good, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really a very cheerful person, and talking to you is always so refreshing. Nikolavich said, "I am very much looking forward to trading with you." ”

Zhou Ming said that I am too, I am facing the president of North Russia here, so he didn't talk much here, now that the business was finalized, Zhou Ming and Maita got up and left.

Back in Maita's Lincoln limousine, Maita congratulated Zhou Ming first, and Zhou Ming also replied: "Thank you very much Mr. Maita, if it weren't for you, Mr. Maita, I wouldn't have had a chance to talk about this deal." ”

"Then, according to our previous agreement, Mr. Zhou Ming, should you give me some of it in the form of cash?" asked Mehta.

"Of course, Mr. Maita," Zhou Ming said, "according to our previous agreement, I will remit one-third of the transaction amount to your Swiss bank account." ”

Maita was also very happy: "I can now understand Mr. Nikolavich's mood just now, it is so refreshing to talk to Mr. Zhou Ming, I am waiting for your remittance." ”

"Don't worry. Zhou Ming said.
