As Tong Gang spoke, Li Cheng and Ilbedov next to him also turned their heads to look at Zhou Ming, their eyes were full of eagerness, as for the other Sergeevsky's focus Although it is on the petrochemical side, it is not only in the oil industry, because of his cooperation with Ilbedov, he is also involved in finance, so now when he hears this, he is naturally very concerned.

Compared with their anxiety, Zhou Ming just smiled faintly and said: "Chairman Tong Li Dong and Mr. Ilbedov, I have a habit of doing things, that is, I have to have a beginning and an end, and I can't do half of the things." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment and then said: "And I don't think there is any need to rush things over there......

Before Zhou Ming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ilbedov: "How can you not be in a hurry? I admit that on the Siberian side, Mr. Zhou Ming has not only obtained a lot of benefits for yourself and us, but also for your motherland, but Chrisko's side is the most important, isn't it?"

Seeing that Zhou Ming just looked at it and didn't answer immediately, Ilbedov immediately reacted: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm sorry, I'm not questioning your decision, I'm just saying what I want to say the most, that's all." ”

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders: "Mr. Ilbedov, you don't need to apologize, because I don't mean to blame you. ”

"I also believe that Mr. Zhou Ming, you must be a magnanimous person. Ilbedov first threw out such a compliment, and then changed the conversation and continued, "But Krist's matter is really too much, Mr. Zhou Ming, you have obviously agreed with Mr. Meta to help him share the benefits of the Dota Project, but now he has betrayed you, and he wants to take advantage of your absence to swallow the money alone!"

In the end, Ilbedov said very harshly: "I even suspect that he deliberately threw out the interests of the oil field, in order to get Mr. Zhou Ming and you out of Christian!"

Zhou Ming still didn't say anything in a hurry, but turned his head to look at Li Cheng and Tong Gang first, they also had very concerned expressions, Li Cheng asked Zhou Ming with a smile: "As long as Zhou Ming's little brother you don't really believe that it's just a coincidence, otherwise we can only consider leaving you." ”

Zhou Ming smiled, he knew very well what the coincidence in Li Cheng's mouth was, because this coincidence was still in their hands, which was today's newspaper: North Russian President Nikolavich signed an order to use three billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves to ensure that the exchange rate of the new ruble can remain stable.

This news is actually very common to say, the collapse of the former Soviet Union, North Russia split up, and abolished the old ruble issued by the former Soviet Union and used the new ruble, in order to save the exchange rate of the ruble, it is not surprising to use a large amount of foreign exchange reserves, but now the fundamental problem is that the North Russian government has no money at all.

From Nikolavich's speech in front of the White House to the signing of the order to dissolve the Soviet Union by Bagchev, the last president of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the Soviet Union seems to be a smooth transition, including the peaceful transfer of the Wehrmacht's nuclear arsenal, but it does not mean that North Russia has really inherited a piece of the Soviet Union, for example, a lot of wealth during the Soviet Union was not left to North Russia.

Most of this wealth was in the hands of high-ranking officials of the former Soviet Union, and many of them were deposited in foreign banks, but due to the turbulent situation in the Soviet Union, Western countries took the opportunity to freeze almost all their deposits for the purpose of peace, which made the finances of the new North Russian Republic extremely difficult.

Zhou Ming had heard a very ridiculous thing before, this year a civil war broke out in a country in North Africa, and North Russian President Nikolavich was originally invited to attend the North African Peace Conference, but because Nikolavich could not afford to pay for hotel accommodation, he had to cancel the trip.

The president of a country can't afford to stay abroad? This sounds like a fantasy to ordinary people, but it happens.

However, this also proves the extent of North Russia's financial difficulties, so how can such a poor treasury come up with three billion dollars at once? There is only one possibility, that is, the money he got from the West through the deal with the Dota Project.

This was not only their conjecture, when Ilbedov saw the news, he immediately contacted Kristol's side, and the result was that Nikolavich and Meta made a deal privately.

After confirming the news, both Li Chengtong and Ilbedov were shocked, although they didn't believe that Mr. Meta would fulfill his promise as promised, but they couldn't imagine that they had just left Chrisco on the front foot, he made a move so quickly, and this was still in the newspaper to let them know, so that in a place they didn't know, only God knew what was going on, how could they not be nervous and anxious?

"Brother Li Dong Li, please believe me, of course I don't think it's a coincidence, on the contrary, my thoughts are the same as everyone's thoughts, this is what Mr. Meta did behind the scenes that we don't know, and he must have done more than that, there must be more. Zhou Ming said.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, since you understand, why are you still here? Even if Mr. Zhou Ming wants to ski, the first snow in Siberia alone is not enough. Ilbedov's tone was incomprehensible.

"But Mr. Ilbedov, now that the news of Chrisko is out, and what should or shouldn't have happened, isn't it? ”

Zhou Ming added at the end: "And Mr. Ilbedov, what I want to tell you is that I don't know how to ski at all." ”

Zhou Ming said that he deliberately applied the Westerner's way of speaking, and at this time he received a very good effect, and sure enough, after listening to Zhou Ming's words, Ilbedov and Li Chengtong just laughed, and Zhou Ming continued: "Finally, what I want to say is that since everyone chooses to believe me, please believe it to the end, and believe that no matter what happens to Chrisco, and no matter what kind of deal Mr. Meta and Mr. President make, I can turn this situation around!"

If Zhou Ming's words just now just made people's mood relax, then Zhou Ming's last sentence gave them plenty of confidence.

This time, Li Cheng looked around and first said: "In our China, there is a saying called 'use people do not suspect and suspect people do not use', which means that since you choose to believe in a person, you must trust to the end, no matter what he does; and the earliest cooperation between me and Zhou Ming's little brother was a year and a half ago, but in fact, I have been paying attention to him since that Black Monday, so no matter what he does, I will believe him." ”

Tong Gang glanced at Li Cheng, and he also made a statement: "Little brother Zhou Ming was originally the chief responsible for the North Russian side, I am only a shareholder, I only have the power to dismiss him, but I have no right to interfere in his work." ”

Li Cheng and Tong Gang both expressed their attitudes, and Ilbedov finally spread his hands: "Okay gentlemen, since you have already decided, then I have to follow your arrangement, in fact, I want to say that it is a very rare thing to see snow in September, even in Siberia, it is not possible to see it every year, and there is nothing wrong with staying and seeing." ”

In Ilbedov's humor, everyone laughed, and the matter was settled, only Li Cheng took a deep look at Zhou Ming a few times.

When the time came to night, Li Cheng knocked on Zhou Ming's door, and Su Han went to open the door: "Hello Li Dong, Zhou Ming is already waiting for you." ”

Li Cheng was surprised, he walked in and sat in front of Zhou Ming and asked suspiciously, "Little brother Zhou Ming, did you guess that I was coming?"

"Thank you very much for Dong Li's cooperation this afternoon, if it weren't for Dong Li taking the lead in speaking, I'm afraid I would have had to talk a lot. Zhou Ming nodded, but said something that didn't sound like a good match.

Li Cheng didn't care, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, but what do you think, little brother?"

Zhou Ming didn't answer immediately, but looked up at Li Cheng, and Li Cheng said again: "I know that you are actually not as confident as you show today, right?"

"It seems that he can't hide anything from Li Dong. Zhou Ming said with emotion, "After all, Chrisco doesn't talk about the interests of tens of billions of dollars, not to mention whether the interests of the oil field will belong to me, just say that this amount is not an order of magnitude, and now that Mr. Meta obviously doesn't care about his reputation, how can I not worry?"

Li Cheng looked at Zhou Ming, and suddenly frowned: "Are you reassuring them...... Or is it our hearts?"

"I said, Brother Li, can you not be so smart, leave some suspense for me to reveal!" Zhou Ming said.

Li Cheng didn't pay attention to Zhou Ming's ridicule, he just took a deep breath and said: "Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, those who have thunder in their chests and face like a peaceful lake can worship the general, which means that those who are above the soldiers must always keep their faces unchanged no matter what kind of danger they encounter." Because of the courage of the army, only the general is not chaotic can ensure that the army's heart is stable and not chaotic, it seems that Brother Zhou Ming, you are taking us as a team. ”

Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly: "Li Dong, I actually didn't dare to think like this, I just felt at ease in advance, if we were all messed up, even if we went back to Chrisco, it would be useless." ”

Li Cheng smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you, just like Chairman Tong said today, you are the general manager here, I will fully support any decision you make, sometimes even if you are a small soldier under your hands, it doesn't feel like a big deal." ”

Zhou Ming politely said that he had won the award, and Li Cheng asked again: "Then how sure are you about Chrisco's side." ”

Before Zhou Ming answered, Li Cheng added another sentence, 'I want to listen to the truth this time', Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Li Dong is too careful, of course I will tell the truth, but I am not sure, and I don't have it, and I will have to wait until I return to Chrisco and learn more before I can judge." ”

Li Cheng nodded silently, and finally patted Zhou Ming's shoulder: "Do it well, I still say the same thing, no matter what you do, I will trust you." ”

"Thank you very much. Zhou Ming said.
