All noble sentiments are built on the basis of survival. Li Qizhi is right, the good things in this world are reserved for the living. The dead, whether remembered or spurned, mean nothing to the dead. So, at all times, it's important to stay alive.

It was a happy time when the king did not reign soon.

It must be admitted that as long as people can learn to break free from the shackles of morality, the more depraved they are, the happier they are.

In the autumn of 2003, Li Muye and Diana enjoyed their newlywed honeymoon together. From Italy to Sweden, he has traveled almost all over Europe. Diana is a huge football fan, and in addition to being a die-hard Zenit loyalist, she is also interested in other famous football clubs. The honeymoon route she chose completely covered the cities where Europe's best football clubs are located.

From Madrid and Barcelona to Porto in the Iberian Peninsula, from south to north, Turin, Milan, Rome, the romantic Marseille excitement of Paris, the fog of London, the bitter cold rain of Manchester, almost every city has to enjoy a football game.

Sometimes she is tender like water, sometimes passionate like fire, sometimes cold and ruthless, and sometimes a bird.

Li Muye lingered, happy and happy, and was too lazy to explore which side of her was the real one.

The new company was finally established, and as the owner of the channel, Li Muye occupied a dominant position. For Timov and the others, the most important thing was that Diana had the legal right to divide Li Muye's property equally, so they didn't think too much about the dominance of the new company.

The main business of the new company is positioned in the gold and diamond jewellery industry. Erjin Mining's diamond mine in the Yakutia region has resumed production. The abundant gold mines, which were already well established, were the first to be put into operation, having already arrived in Moscow by water before the onset of winter.

At the same time, in terms of cross-border trade, Makino International Trading Company, which belongs only to Li Muye, has also achieved gratifying success. A large number of light industrial products from China enter the Russian market, and are distributed throughout Central Asia and Eastern Europe through the channels of Kiev. Although the profit margin is not as good as that of the gold and gemstone industry, it is better because of the stable supply and demand, smooth channels, low market maintenance costs, and relatively stable profit growth.

As Russia's son-in-law, the upstart group of Timov's nouveau riche provided Li Muye with the greatest tolerance and assistance within his ability.

Li Muye's career in all aspects has been able to enter a fast track of benign development. Comparatively speaking, the more mature herdium agriculture is the fastest. With the strong support of the relevant domestic authorities, the food project in cooperation with the federal government has achieved unprecedented success in the Biske region.

This year, for the first time since the CIS, Russia's total grain output surpassed the average annual level of 80 million tons in the former Soviet Union. The Piske region alone provided 13 million tons of this. The cooperation project between Makino and the federal government accounts for more than half of the total. For this, Timov was awarded the Order of State by the President of the Federation. And Li Muye also followed the light and won the affirmation of the Federal Honorary Business Partner.

In December, Li Muye hired an accounting firm to make an appraisal of the property under his name. Ended up with a staggering number. Before the arrival of 2,000 years, Li Muye's total personal assets had reached 800 million US dollars. Diana joked that if I divorced you now, I would immediately get $400 million. Li Muye said half-truthfully, if you want this, you can do it at any time.

The accounting firm gets the total amount of net assets without counting the growth expectations, and if the valuation is carried out according to the laws of the market, Li Muye's actual property at the moment is actually more than twice that amount. Compared with those second-generation new oligarchs who took advantage of the situation to grasp important strategic energy and dominate the situation, this property is certainly not remarkable. As the largest international supplier of grain production and processing business in the Federation, its strategic position is even better than that of some tens of billionaires in the field of natural gas and oil.

Li Muye knows very well that his status today is actually inseparable from the strong support of some people in China. Since the initial selection to open up the situation in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry, Makino has received strong support from China in terms of talent recruitment, the introduction of improved varieties and the purchase and use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

In Russia's upper classes, everyone is staring at the gas, oil, coal and relatively accessible gold industries. Agriculture, on the other hand, is a highly cyclical industry with a lack of explosive profit growth. He couldn't get into the eyes of the big men in Moscow's high society, but it gave Li Muye and those in China who supported his development here a chance. Chu Qinchuan has been working here for ten years, and he has not been able to open up such a situation when he has more resources than Li Muye. The mistake is not choosing the right direction of development.

Lao Chu's current enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high, in comparison, in Li Muye's current team, his ability is undoubtedly in the first place, but the degree of trustworthiness is lower than that of Bai Peng, who has average ability, but has no choice but to be attached to himself. Andre is at best a professional manager, if it weren't for the veteran introduced by Meng Fanbing, he would have no chance to enter the inner circle.

After the honeymoon, Diana also entered the management of the company. In addition to serving as the chief assistant to the chairman of the gold and gemstone production, processing and sales group, he also served as the administrative director of Makino Agriculture and Makino International Trade. And with the 10% shares of the Agricultural and Industrial Bank given by Li Muye after marriage, he became a member of the board of directors.

As early as accepting this marriage, Li Muye was already mentally prepared for his industry to be mixed with sand by Timov and others. Therefore, she also turned a blind eye to some of the managers brought by Diana, no matter what position she was assigned to, as long as it did not affect the company's operations and did not intervene in the core decision-making level, she could toss it as she wanted.

Although his career is getting bigger and bigger, Li Muye has always maintained a clear head. It's not because of how good your business awe is. The main reason is the big power games and exchanges that cannot be seen behind the scenes. And he is just the one who was pushed to the head of the tide when he went with the tide. Even if it weren't for Anasayev, this lucky one wouldn't have been in his turn.

What Timov wants is to use his own channels to help Russia's economic development under the premise of ensuring national security, while some people who support him at home need to increase the influence of the Chinese here. They couldn't communicate directly with each other, so Li Muye was chosen as this invisible bridge.

This is an era of great epochal change and then a slow restoration of order.

When the huge Red Empire was dismembered, there was once no hope in the Western democratic world. Reality gave them a slap in the face. What is needed is a democratic Russia, not a strong and democratic Russia. So, what they end up with is a huge country that is fanned by people everywhere and overwhelmed with all kinds of difficulties. Fertility is low, food production is declining, and there are speculators everywhere who embezzle the country's wealth in the name of democracy.

In this world, between countries, in the final analysis, it is a competition for survival opportunities. Either surrender to someone else's system, or establish your own order. The new president, Mr. Unwaveringly, believes that Russia will never accept the fate of a second-rate country. The Western democratic camp is unreliable, and they have to seek other channels to help them develop their countries. And at this time, there are almost no countries that dare and have the ability to help them.

Due to historical reasons and the current complex international situation, even if some countries dare to act righteously, they can only adopt a sneaky approach.

In such a context, it is not surprising that Li Muye's career development is unusually smooth.

But how long can this situation be maintained? How high is the ceiling of Timov's ability to accept his own development? Or how much influence he can accept he can have in Moscow? These questions have appeared countless times in Li Muye's mind, but he has never been able to get a clear answer.

Li Qizhi once said that the process of accumulating wealth should also be a process of intense virtue and ability. His so-called virtue actually refers to the level of doing things and doing things, while ability refers to specific business ability. Li Muye asked himself if his cultivation in these two aspects had not yet reached a level where he could control so much wealth. If you want to keep what you have, you must constantly improve yourself and reach a level that matches the rapid development of your business.

Therefore, during this period of time, Li Muye has not forgotten to enrich himself while expanding his social circle to increase his contacts, and use this way to stabilize his foundation.

After the wedding, Diana made her home at the Gurnov estate. Since she began to meddle in the company's affairs, she joined hands with Chu Qinchuan to take charge of the company. Li Muye, the nominal boss, has almost become the shopkeeper. Now the increase in wealth numbers is not so important to him. Because Li Muye knows very well that everything he has is a mansion in the air built by others. It's only a matter of time before you want to take it away, or you have to take it someday.

And what Li Muye has to do is to make sufficient preparations before that day comes, so that he can fight for more when the time comes.

Now Li Muye is more interested in making more friends and improving his abilities in all aspects. In Russia's high society, it is more common to enjoy opera and symphony together, and in order to be able to fit in, Li Muye, a layman, specially invited a top piano teacher to learn music. In addition, golf, horseback riding, tennis and a series of other activities that often need to be participated, Li Muye has tried his best to achieve a very high level.

In short, there was only one goal: to integrate oneself into Moscow's high society and create a protective circle that might work in the future.

One day in early March, on the northern outskirts of Moscow, in the Sergiev region, in an abandoned state zoo.

A group of young people are speeding through the field in a dozen off-road jeeps. Panicked wild animals are fleeing in all directions.

Li Muye sat in the cab of the Unimog off-road vehicle, slowly took the binoculars away from his eyes, and said to the old Cui who was in charge of driving beside him: "Inform your brothers to prepare hunting dogs, and the biggest prey must be hit by Karping in a while." ”

Lao Cui nodded and said, "Boss, please rest assured, everything has been arranged, even if he can't hit, we have a way to make everyone think that he hit it." And he added, "These brothers of mine have been the best animal trainers in the past, and doing this is what they are best at." ”

"This is a good joke. Li Muye was satisfied: "Lao Cui, your current Chinese level is more reliable than Diana." ”

Old Cui smiled honestly and said, "How can I compare with my wife, she is much smarter than me." ”

Li Muye squinted at the wild boar herd in front of him and said, "She's just too smart." ”

Lao Cui said: "It's not a good thing to be too smart, but I think the boss is a little smarter than Mrs. ”

Li Muye laughed and said, "Less sycophants and more work, there is only one purpose today, which is to make the eldest son of the Minister of the Interior happy." ”

Lao Cui said: "I think this hunting garden you have is really a great idea, it is more effective than drinking good wine and playing golf with them." ”

Li Muye said: "This varies from person to person, playing with Karpin, of course, is the best hunting, if it is replaced by those half-aged guys of Lyusinsky, it is more in line with their appetite for indoor golf." ”

Lao Cui suddenly sighed and said, "I don't think any amount of effort you put in on Lyusinsky will have any effect." ”

Li Muye nodded in approval, and said: "The point is not to satisfy him, but to let him know my attitude at any time, and at the same time through him to know more people who are at the same level as him, people of this level, as long as you can make friends with the next one, it is worth it." ”

Suddenly, the gunfire rang out in the sky, and the hunting operation of the boy's buddy over there began.

Li Muye raised the binoculars to look over, and in the lens, on the jeep in front, a young man was standing on the car with a gun raised, and a huge wild boar was beaten with flesh and blood......

"May God forgive us!" said Old Cui.

Li Muye squinted and said, "God is busy enough, this little thing won't trouble his old man...... Bang!"

A sudden gunshot interrupted Li Muye's words, not from the shotgun commonly used in the hunting ground, but from the semi-automatic weapon commonly used by the military, and he couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Where did the gunfire come from?"

Lao Cui looked solemn and said, "In the northeast direction, it should be outside the hunting park, I remember that there is a primary school over there." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
