Chapter 1257 Russian magnates

……

"Bang bang ......!"

Listening to the crisp applause that suddenly sounded, Liu Dong frowned, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

Soon, a young man sitting not far from him, wearing a gray plaid shirt, with a tall and thin figure and a smile on his slightly thin cheeks, appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.

"Mr. Liu's subordinates are really extraordinary!" After noticing Liu Dong's eyes, the young man stood up and smiled.

"Do you know me?" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Of course, the chairman of the Hanhua Group, Mr. Liu Dong, who has just won the championship in the wrestling competition of the Naadam Conference in Mongolia, and has extremely strong fighting ability, how can I not know him!"

"And who is Your Excellency?"

"Roman Shatov, I don't think Mr. Liu knows my name!" the young man laughed.

Indeed, Liu Dong, who has not paid much attention to the Russian political and business circles, is indeed very unfamiliar with this name. However, seeing the surprised and even awe-inspiring expressions on the faces of the people around him after the young man said this name, Liu Dong also knew that the other party was not an ordinary person.

"Kick ......!"

Just as Liu Dong was about to speak, in the corridor leading to the dance hall up and down, a black bear with a stick in his hand poured over.

Looking at Liu Shan with excitement on his face, Liu Dong smiled indifferently and waved his hand!

"Huh!"

Liu Shan, who touched his big head and smiled, turned around happily and greeted the people of the Black Bear Gang.

Soon, a one-sided battle began!

Of course, Liu Shan is just one person. No matter how powerful it is, it can't stop everyone who is pouring in from all directions. However, Liu Dong, who has stronger fighting ability. I didn't do much either. Although he took a few coins out of his pocket and punched them out, he let those guys who planned to take advantage of the opportunity to come forward to take advantage of the fact that it was powerful.

"Mr. Liu, if there is any misunderstanding in this, I am willing to act as a mediator between you and the Black Bear Gang!" Roman Shatov laughed.

"Misunderstanding? If it's just a misunderstanding, I won't find here!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a high-pitched and heavy shout rang out in the ballroom.

However, Liu Shan will not listen to other people's orders.

"I told you to stop!"

A middle-aged white man who walked in surrounded by a group of bodyguards and strong men with an angry face on his face. As if he hadn't heard his words, after still beating his subordinate Liu Shan unscrupulously, he took out the pistol on his waist without hesitation.

But before he could point the pistol at Liu Dong, he felt a flash of silver light in front of him.

I was shocked, and just noticed the bad middle-aged white man, before I could react, I felt a pain in my wrist, the hand holding the gun involuntarily let go, and the black Makarov pistol also 'clicked' and fell to the ground.

At the same time, a coin fell to the ground along with the pistol!

Obviously, this coin is the culprit that made the middle-aged white man drop his pistol.

Liu Dong, who knew that the main owner had appeared. Slowly stood up, "Shanzi." Come back!"

"East ...... Brother Dong, they can't help but fight!"

Liu Shan, who returned to Liu Dong's side, said to Liu Dong with some dissatisfaction.

"There will be a chance for you to fight in the future!"

Liu Dong could already foresee that when Mu Gang met Liu Shan, he would meet a good talent, meet an opponent in chess, and fight inseparably, and he couldn't wait to fight every day.

"If you dare to touch that gun, I won't shoot a coin!"

The cold voice made Alexander, who was about to bend down to pick up the gun, feel a pang in his heart, and his outstretched right hand involuntarily stopped.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you bothering our Black Bear Gang?" staring at Liu Dong with his eyes tight, Alexander's tone contained anger, but he said with a hint of caution.

"I'm not having that spare time! I'm here today for one purpose, to return the car you seized from my fellow countryman, and by the way, to return the money that was blackmailed to him. In the future, the supply of all Chinese vehicles crossing the border will be reduced to 100,000 rubles......!"

"Why should I listen to you?"

Liu Dong's tone of command made Alexander's heart burn with anger.

"You'd better listen to him!"

The sudden insertion made Alexander glare, and his eyes were full of fierce light. However, when he saw who the person who interjected, the fierce look on his face immediately changed, and he sneered with some flattery: "Young Master Shatov!"

After smiling indifferently, Roman Shatov said directly: "Abutto, you'd better do what Mr. Liu said, he is not a character you can offend." And ......!" After a pause, after glancing at Liu Dong, Roman Shatov smiled, "He's a friend of Mr. Khodorkovsky!"

Hearing this, the expression on Alexander Abuto's face immediately changed, and his eyes were full of solemnity when he looked at Liu Dong. Even if he didn't know Liu Dong's identity, he knew the origin of Roman Shatov.

Someone who can make a big man like Shatov maintain respect is definitely not a small role. At the same time, it is not something he can afford to offend.

After his face changed rapidly, Alexander Abuto took a deep breath, bent down and said respectfully to Liu Dong: "Mr. Liu, for the previous misunderstanding, our Black Bear Gang is deeply sorry. But don't worry, we'll do as you tell us right away!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Dong glanced at this middle-aged white man who seemed rugged with some surprise, but he didn't expect that he was still a heroic figure who could afford to let go, no wonder he could mix so chic in Irkutsk, the largest industrial city in East Siberia, Russia.

"There is really no simple person who can be the leader of a gang!"

The thought fell, and Liu Dong nodded.

"You'd better do what you say, otherwise next time, it won't be as simple as today!" Liu Dong said coldly.

"You've smashed my cabaret like this, what do you want?" Of course, Alexander Abto's words were just in his heart!

"Don't worry, I will give Mr. Liu a satisfactory explanation!"

"That's good!" After nodding, Liu Dong turned around and said, "Gao Jian, give him your mobile phone number!"

"Yes!"

Gao Jian, who agreed, took a deep breath, tried his best to appear calm and steady, and then wrote down his mobile phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to the leader of the Black Tiger Gang who made him afraid.

"When you get your car and money ready, just call him and give it to him!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!"

Seeing Alexander Abuto's respectful appearance, Liu Dong nodded, then nodded to Roman Shatov before turning around and leaving.

"Wait...... Mr. Liu, I don't know if I have time in the evening, I want to treat Mr. Liu to a light meal!" Roman Shatov said quickly.

Considering that this person was also a small favor for himself just now, Liu Dong thought for a while, and then nodded, "I'm staying at the Hilton Hotel for the time being!"

"Then we'll see you in the evening!" laughed Roman Shatov.

"See you in the evening!"

……

In fact, Alexander Abuto was more productive than Liu Dong had imagined, and he had already called not long after he returned to the hotel.

Considering that Gao Jian was too thin alone, Liu Dong asked Liu Shan to go with him!

"Chairman, this is the information you want!"

After taking the document handed over by Guo Kai, after simply flipping through it, Liu Dong's pupils shrank, "It seems that this Roman Shatov is really not a simple person!"

"Yes! The Shatov family is one of the top wealthy families in Russia! Its influence spans three terms of military, political, and economic, and in particular, Pavel Shatov, who is currently the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, is a hardcore confidant of President Putin! At the same time, he is also Roman Shatov's uncle!" Guo Kai said with a slightly solemn expression.

After nodding, Liu Dong continued to flip through the documents.

He doesn't know much about Pavel Shatov, but Liu Dong is still familiar with the other party's father 'Andrei Shatov'.

This is also due to the fact that the company Allota under the control of Andrei Shatov is the largest diamond giant in Russia, accounting for 97% of Russia's total diamond production and 25% of the world's total diamond production every year!

In the world, only De Beers, a diamond giant with a history of more than 100 years, can surpass it. The De Beers-Allota alliance controlled more than 60 per cent of the world's annual diamond production.

This alliance is in the diamond world what OPEC is in the oil world, and has almost complete control over the price of diamonds around the world.

Every year, Liu Dong's rose jewelry has to pinch his nose and buy a batch of diamonds from this alliance at a high price for processing and selling!

Therefore, Liu Dong is very familiar with the Alrosa company.

Moreover, although Allota is still a little behind De Beers in the world diamond world, it is not exactly a diamond company like the latter.

In addition to the diamond industry, Allota is also one of Russia's top mining giants, with industries involving the mining, processing and sale of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, oil, and dozens of precious metals!

In Russia, there are only a few mining giants that can compete with it, such as Polymetallic Group and Narilsko Nickel Company.

Therefore, although Allota is not as well-known internationally as mining giants such as Rio Tinto and Billiton, its strength is not worse than that of Russia because of its huge land area and rich mineral resources, if not better.

Therefore, the Shatov family can be regarded as an invisible rich man with assets of tens of billions of dollars.

And in addition to wealth, in Russia, the influence of the Shatov family also involves political and military circles. Except for Pavel Shatov mentioned by Guo Kai just now.

Dimitry Semonov, then deputy commander of the Siberian Military District of Russia, was also Roman Shatov's uncle! )
