Chapter 56 The shameless one is not ashamed, but proud
Chu Qinchuan said that crying is a technical job, and some people have cultivated this technique to the peak, and they have to cry for the next country.
Li Muye's tear ducts have never been underdeveloped, but in the limited number of sad partings, there have been moments when tears flowed deep into the depths.
The gates of the Gurnov estate were left open, and the Orthodox Christians were buried three days after their deaths, but the funeral took place for a full forty days, if conditions permitted.
There was a sense of sadness in the manor. The living room was converted into a mourning hall, and a banquet was arranged in a makeshift greenhouse. Honey porridge, crepes, rice pudding, caviar, and vodka are served. A spiritual seat is placed on the mourning hall. There are photos of Gurnov before his death, and food and vodka are enshrined. According to Russian custom, the worship lasts for 40 days. After 40 days, the spirit tablets and offerings can be removed, and then a monument is erected for the deceased.
Orthodox Christianity believes that the underworld after death is divided into heaven and hell, heaven is the world of bliss, and hell is the place where the wicked are punished. However, the road to heaven and hell after death is not simple. Whether a person goes to heaven or hell is determined by his soul after 40 days after death. Therefore, for 40 days after the funeral, the relatives of the deceased should pray incessantly for the deceased to ascend to heaven.
Li Muye, accompanied by Chu Qinchuan, followed by Lao Cui, Andre and Bai Peng, and the five of them walked into the mourning hall.
Petrovich had already received a notice from Timov and had been waiting for a long time with a cadre of the Tire Gang.
Gurnov's family ran out, and the ruthless woman took away all the wealth in Gurnov's name, and took everything that could be taken, and entrusted the lawyer to auction off what could not be taken. Including this estate has also been included in the auction list.
These people have worked hard for Gurnov for many years, and some of them have lived here for a long time like family members, and Gurnov's fall has directly caused the trees to fall and scatter, and these people will soon become lonely ghosts living on the streets. Li Muye's gaze swept over their faces, and he saw that these big men were full of grief and indignation, and they were silent. It is conceivable that if their worries are not properly addressed, once these people take to the streets, they will inevitably become a huge factor of instability.
"Godfather!" A tragic cry suddenly erupted in the quiet mourning hall, Li Muye suddenly burst out in front of everyone's eyes, and burst into tears in front of Gurnov's spiritual seat, crying loudly, crying and saying in Russian: "I'm sorry for you!" Speaking of this, the pain was uncontrollable, and he beat his chest and continued: "If it weren't for my momentary negligence, you would have experienced the grief of losing your son in old age, and you wouldn't have left so suddenly!"
"But all this is a misunderstanding, we have cooperated for more than a year, and have already established a deep relationship, that day you came to the company, you have to accept me as a godson, and let me take over the livelihood of these brothers on your behalf, you also said that you are old, and your sons are not talented, I just hope that they can have someone to continue to take care of them after a hundred years, I was full of promises, but one night a few days later, an accident happened, God is above, I swear it was really an accident, I just want to teach my dear brother a lesson. ”
Li Muye cried and broke his liver and intestines, and his mouth kept babbling: "I will never forgive myself, if I could have expected this to be the result, even if Leonid is a bastard, I, as his brother, should be more tolerant and protective and slowly bring him on the right track, but I am impulsive......" Speaking of this, he choked suddenly, rolled his eyes, and fainted from crying.
Chu Qinchuan hurriedly helped Li Muye up, and pretended to massage it twice, before Li Muye woke up leisurely. Recovering his breath a little, he immediately turned around and threw himself in front of the spiritual throne again, wailing and wailing, beating his chest and continuing: "God, I am guilty, please let me take the place of my father, I really don't have the face to face these loyal Tire Gang brothers again! They are still so young, and they have given all their respect and love to my beloved father......"
The people around, except for Chu Qinchuan, were all stunned. Emotionally fragile people, such as Lao Cui, have burst into tears. Although Andrei did not shed tears, he also looked sad there. And Bai Peng was completely dumbfounded, and he wanted to cry a few times with his mouth open, but his acting skills were not good, and it didn't rain when he thundered.
Li Muye cried endlessly, his voice was sad, and his feelings were true, which deeply touched everyone in the tire gang. Petrovich stepped forward many times to persuade Li Muye to go into the greenhouse to eat something and drink a drink to calm his nerves.
Li Muye repeatedly refused, but comforted Petrovich and said: "My dear Petrovich brother, at this moment I can't suppress my sadness, this terrible thing came too suddenly, now there are many rumors outside that my father-in-law left, I got the biggest share of the cake, these ill-intentioned people want to see more than a thousand brothers of the Tire Gang living on the streets, they are afraid that I will be with you, and they are afraid that the power left by my father-in-law will become their nightmare, so they want to instigate our relationship." ”
Petrovich said: "My respected Chinese brother, I Petrovich fully believe in your respect for Mr. Gurnov, I don't think you will take advantage of the fire to rob Mr. Gurnov's business." ”
Li Muye took his hand and said: "Of course, I will not sit back and watch the country left by my father-in-law be destroyed by those rumor-mongering villains, my dear Petrovich brother, I solemnly promise here that I will buy the Gurnov Manor next, but I am not ready to live here, but I will continue to hand over this place to you and the brothers of the Tire Gang to live and manage, and everything that the ruthless woman sold, including the aluminum mine, I will buy it and hand it over to you to continue to operate." ”
This remark is undoubtedly good news for Petrovich and others. If Li Muye came here arrogantly and dropped these words, most of them would be difficult to accept. But Li Muye said these words at such a time in this way, which was really a relief to the tire gang.
Li Muye continued: "My dear brothers, you don't have to worry about your future life, and you don't have to worry about the secret police outside the manor, your father-in-law is gone, you still have me, in the next few days, I will uphold my father-in-law's will and bring you a more brilliant future......
The Tyre Gang led by Petrovich looked at each other for a while before they reacted, first in disbelief, and finally in surprise, and even called Ulla in unison.
Chu Qinchuan whispered in Li Muye's ear to remind: When the time comes, it will be over if the performance continues, and it is best to talk to Petrovich alone.
Li Muye bowed his head slightly, turned his face to look at Petrovich, and said, "My dear brother Peter, are you willing to believe me?"
This is even called an abbreviation that represents intimacy.
Petrovich nodded without hesitation, beat his chest with one hand, and said: "Yes, my Chinese brother, I, Petrovich, am willing to accept you as our brother." ”
Li Muye said: "I came today, in addition to condolences to my father-in-law, I also brought a not very good news, I can only tell you alone for the time being." ”
Petrovich said, "Let's go to the study." ”
••••••
Snowflakes float outside the window, and the moonlit Moscow night is enchanting.
Li Muye held a wine glass, and opposite him was Petrovic, who had never drunk a drop of alcohol.
"I know I'm not the only buyer, but Mr. Timoov is willing to support my acquisition unconditionally, and now I need to be sure of your attitude. Li Muye put down his wine glass and said: "Before you make a decision, what I want to tell you is that what I need is not a thug follower, what I need is a cooperative partner who can stand in the center of the stage and take charge alone, I am very optimistic about you." ”
Death for a confidant.
Petrovich was indeed impressed, but he was still a little hesitant. Because Li Muye has not yet come up with specific chips, and others have promised great benefits, but that person's conditions are a little harsh, Petrovic's idea is to wait and see, and accept it when there is no other better option.
After Gurnov's death, the assets were entrusted with auction, and before Li Muye came forward, only the metal export giant Charmov expressed interest. Although Gurnov left behind high-quality assets, ordinary people did not dare to take over because of the existence of the Tire Gang. Because once you take over, it means that you have to take over the livelihood of the entire tire gang at the same time. Petrovich is not a good man and woman who is easy to control, and the Tyre Gang is even more notorious, if he does not have the strength to take over rashly, it is easy to steal chickens and rice.
Chalmov was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as one of the great oligarchs who once rivaled Gurnov, he had absolute dominance in the metal export industry, a powerful private army under his command, and was currently working closely with the government. The condition he offered Petrovich was 10 percent of the shares, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation, but he also put forward a condition that Petrovich could not accept, that is, to dissolve the Tyre Gang.
"Sir, I have no doubt about your sincerity, but I must first determine my value in your eyes before I can make a final decision!" Petrovich said.
"No matter how much someone gives you, I'm five percent more than him. Li Muye said: "The only additional condition is that you must ensure a smooth transition of the tire gang, and I don't want to abandon any of these brothers." ”
"Sir, I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of money. Petrovich said: "With what I know of you, you should not be able to complete the acquisition. ”
Li Muye said: "If the acquisition is completed at the current price, my funds are indeed a little insufficient. ”
"So, you need to figure out how to bring the price down first. Petrovich said: "If you don't have a competitor, maybe there is hope." ”
"It's because of this competitor that maybe it's easier to do it. Li Muye said: "I am a Chinese, and I came here to make money in business, but this is not the case with Chalmov!" Li Muye interpreted the knowing look on Petrovich's face, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The government occupies 41 percent of the equity of the Peasants' and Workers' Bank, and Gurnov left 39 percent, if the government is willing to lower the price......
"If so, you do have the potential to complete the acquisition. Petrovich said: "It seems that you have already received a promise from Mr. Timov." ”
"It's not just the promises, there's also the not-so-good news. Li Muye said: "Timov's patience is limited, and he is very unhappy about the things you ordered to help his brother do, so he has decided to take some coercive measures against you." ”
"Ah!" exclaimed Petrovich, "what is this brute bear going to do?"
Li Muye said: "Of course, he doesn't want the acquisition of Chalmov to be successful, and the biggest obstacle to other people's interest in the Gurnov industry is the Tire Gang, and it is difficult for a serious businessman to accept this unstable explosive package, so before the auction starts, he hopes to remove this explosive bag first." ”
This statement is reasonable, the cause and effect are clear, and Petrovich can easily determine its truth. He said, "This KGB bear is always so self-righteous!" and then asked expectantly: "Mr. Li, since you have decided to buy and want to keep the Tire Gang, I don't think you will sit idly by, right?"
