(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Italian Summer ZL"!)

Ilbedov's words shocked everyone like a thunderbolt suddenly sounding on a sunny day, including Li Chengtonggang and Bortaski, who were all stunned by the rich North Russians, they looked at Ilbedov in a daze, and muttered one by one: "This is not true, is it? This and the agreement with the Mlin Palace have been brought back, are you kidding, but today is not April Fool's Day!"

"Of course I'm not joking," Ilbedov glanced at Zhou Ming first, and said cautiously, "Just now the cash truck from the Mulin Palace has already come to my Union Bank......

"Isn't that great? The money has already been shipped, doesn't it mean that the Mlin is carrying out the deal? Why do you still say that we were cheated?"

In the face of everyone's doubts, Ilbedov said: "That's because the Mlin is not a new ruble, but an old ruble!"

Ilbedov's words caused an uproar at the scene, no one expected this to be the result, you must know that the old ruble is a currency that has been abolished by the Mlin Palace, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of waste paper, and now the Mlin Palace is transporting the old ruble to fulfill the transaction.

"Could it be that the Mlin Palace made a mistake? Or maybe the bank didn't ask clearly, maybe this batch of old rubles was not used to fulfill the transaction?"

Someone else asked tentatively, apparently wanting to hear an answer that met his imagination, but unfortunately Ilbedov did not let him get his wish, he smiled bitterly and said: "I also hope that you said so, but unfortunately it is not, those cash trucks were escorted by an official from the Mlin Palace and the police car, and the official in charge of the escort said that this is the new ruble to fulfill the transaction agreement." ”

Ilbedov's words seemed to have a magical power, which made the atmosphere of the scene freeze for a moment, everyone didn't know what to say, and their last illusions were shattered, because the Mlin Palace deliberately tricked them.

If a little money is counted, they are all rich anyway, and it is not the first time that they have been cheated out of money by the Mulin, so they will be regarded as charity, but this is half of the transaction, which is enough for 1.1 billion new rubles!

At this time, Bortarski suddenly remembered something, he stood up and asked Zhou Ming, "Mr. Zhou Ming, can you show me the agreement in your hand?"

"Absolutely. ”

Zhou Ming handed him the agreement as he spoke, and Bortarski didn't care about anything, he quickly found the column he was looking for when he got the agreement, and then took out his mobile phone in front of Zhou Ming and dialed a call.

Bortaski, who is currently the second richest man in North Russia, and who, like the richest man, owns several large metallurgical and oil companies in addition to the largest private banks, so he is now going to call someone to investigate the new Siberian oil fields in the agreement.

Zhou Ming still didn't say anything, everyone waited for the news here silently, and the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing, but fortunately, everyone was very person, and no one said anything.

After about half an hour, Bortarski's mobile phone finally rang again, and everyone immediately surrounded him, even Du Peng, Su Han and Li Chengtonggang pricked up their ears and held their breath to listen over there.

Bortarski quickly answered the phone, his face immediately stiffened, and finally silently put down the phone and said the result that everyone wanted to hear the most: "The oil fields stipulated in the agreement are all newly explored oil fields with great potential in Siberia, but these oil fields are to be sold to a big family in the United States, and there is no plan to offset the funds to others." ”

Before he could make people react, Bortaski immediately said to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming's problem is too big, we need to check with the Mlin Palace immediately!"

With Bortaski's headband rhythm, everyone else immediately turned their attention to Zhou Ming, and asked him to quickly contact the Mlin Palace to verify the situation.

In the face of everyone's request, Zhou Ming could not help but dial the number of the Mlin Palace, but after a busy tone, it was not President Nikolavich or the President's Chief of Staff Kassia who answered the phone, but a secretary of the General Office, he said: "I'm very sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, Director He has a very important job now, if you have anything, you can tell me and I will tell you on your behalf." ”

Zhou Ming's phone was connected to the broadcast, so the secretary's words reached everyone's ears as soon as possible, making their nerves explode instantly with a bang.

The reason is very simple, Zhou Ming dialed the president's number at the time, but in the end he was transferred to an ordinary secretary, which was obviously deliberate, the purpose was perfunctory, of course, it is also possible that they really have something to deal with, after all, one of them is the president of the country, and the other is the president's chief of staff, but how can they believe this possibility? Or just after signing the agreement, the scene was boiling.

Some of them cried out in despair: "Why is this happening? The promised money is all old rubles that have become waste paper, and the promised oil fields are all deceptions, there is no such thing at all, and the Mulin Palace is playing tricks on us!"

Some criticized Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why didn't you check it clearly before signing the agreement? Why did you give the check out in such a hurry, didn't you suspect that there might be a problem in this transaction? We really misbelieved you, Mr. Bortarski reminded you a long time ago, why did you just not pay attention, it was your blind confidence that led to such a result!"

Others made a request to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, this is the result of your mistakes, in vain we trust you so much, but that's how you did it, now that this incident has happened, you have to find a way to compensate for our losses, whether it is 10 million or 100 million, you must compensate!"

In the face of everyone's turmoil, Zhou Ming was unmoved, he just stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Please rest assured, there is no problem with this transaction, please give me some time, I will bring this transaction back to the normal track." ”

Zhou Ming's words detonated the powder keg, and immediately attracted even more fierce accusations: "Mr. Zhou Ming, are you telling us mythological stories? Or do you have some magic that can turn the old ruble into a new ruble, and can secretly transfer the oil fields that are ready to be sold to the Americans to us?"

At this time, Li Cheng stood up to help Zhou Ming and said: "Please calm down, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, we have also invested a lot of money in it, and we also hope that the transaction can be successful, but there are always some accidents that are inevitable, and everyone always needs to give us some time to understand the situation." ”

Speaking of this, Li Cheng paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, if something unexpected happens in the end, we will compensate you for the loss, at most tens of millions of dollars, and we can still take it out." ”

Ilbedov also stood up and said: "I completely agree with Mr. Li Cheng's words, and I also think that since we choose to trust Mr. Zhou Ming and leave this matter to Mr. Zhou Ming to operate, we can't doubt him at this time." I think instead of wasting time here at this time, it is better to give time to Mr. Zhou Ming and let him verify the ins and outs of the matter before making plans. ”

Bortarski looked around the faces of Zhou Ming, Li Cheng and Ilbedov, and finally stood up and said: "Everyone listen to me, I think we are all North Russian men, we have to be a little responsible, and we can't complain about the slightest situation, since Mr. Li Cheng and Mr. Ilbedov have said so, I think since we are partners, we can only choose to believe, because our accusations here have no effect, right?"

Li Cheng's words helped Zhou Ming relieve the siege, Ilbedov's words calmed everyone down, and in the end, even Bortarski said so, and whoever spoke again seemed to be stingy.

When the atmosphere eased down, Zhou Ming said to everyone: "When something like this happens, I can only say I'm sorry to everyone, and please go back first, I will definitely inform you as soon as there is news." ”

No one who can stand here is a fool, they can all understand the current situation, after hearing Zhou Ming say this, everyone said goodbye one by one and left, only Ilbedov and the media tycoon Korhodo remained here.

Watching a car drive out of the villa, Zhou Ming exhaled and sat back in his chair and sighed: "I thought that Mr. Meta and Mr. Nikolavich, as figures with heads and faces in the world, could make something that made my eyes shine, but I didn't expect them to do such a shameless thing, it was really unexpected!"

Zhou Ming shook his head as he spoke, expressing his great disappointment with their approach.

Regarding Zhou Ming's emotion, Du Peng and Su Han are accustomed to it, while Tong Gang and Li Cheng look at each other, not knowing whether to say that he has big nerves or that he has the style of a general.

At this time, Ilbedov came back and heard Zhou Ming's emotion, and he said to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, in fact, you have already guessed that they will do something, and you have already thought of countermeasures, why didn't you tell everyone just now?"

"Because it's not necessary. Zhou Ming explained, "These people are temporary partners, if they have the burden to believe, then I don't say that they can understand, on the contrary, if they can't accept it, and don't believe me, then even if I explain it well, I'm afraid it will be in vain." ”

Ilbedov wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder first and said, "Okay, let's not care about these details, let's think about how to deal with our lovely and shameless Mr. Maita and Mr. Nikolavich next." ”

Zhou Ming said and turned his head to ask Korhodo: "Are things ready?"

Seeing that Korjodo nodded, Zhou Mingcai said again: "Then let's do our best to pass guò to our Mr. President, I believe he will be happy to see it as much as possible." ”
