Chapter 71: The Struggle for the Successors (65)
The old guy also looked at Zhao Yi with great interest when he heard Rebic's question, obviously this question is also very important to the old guy, and from his previous series of words, he can feel that the old guy wants to make good use of this transnational and transstate smuggling group, but also does not want to spend too much energy on this control. After all, he has so much to do now, which can be seen from the fact that Semolov and Ivan are almost invisible now, and Paul is also busy. Take Rebic, who was sitting across from me and asked the question, if it had been before, I don't think it would have been him who would have cooperated with me, it would have been Ivan or Semolov, or even the old guy Younis himself.
And the old guy didn't want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass. It's just that he wants to do it once and for all, it's like buying a car, investing it all at once, and then taking himself wherever he wants to go without problems.
Zhao Yi glanced at Rebich and then looked at the old guy Younis and said, "Of course I have thought about this problem, and I have already told the other two that the organization will be a partnership between the three of us in the future." Both of them agreed, and more importantly, the three of us also reached some preliminary agreements and consensus on the distribution of interests, and in addition to the talks with those people and me, the three of us will also have a very important face-to-face meeting to discuss the details. Of course, there may be problems or conflicts later, but I will try to avoid such problems. At least I don't think that's going to happen in the early and middle stages, as we know by now, both of them are ambitious people who don't settle for the status quo, and ambitious people tend not to be too careful. In other words, the three of us may have a real quarrel one day, but that should be a long time later, and it should only happen if we are more successful. β
The old guy didn't speak, but Rebic nodded and said, "I can understand what you said before, but this final conclusion... How did you come to the conclusion that disputes can only arise when they are relatively successful? β
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "This is human nature. In our hometown. He said and looked at me, meaning that this "we" included me, "There is a saying in our hometown, we can share hardship, not prosperity." This means that when struggling, everyone can unite and hug each other tightly, but when distributing benefits after success, they will be jealous and suspicious of each other and feel unfair. This leads to the final mutual damage and attack. β
"Huh." Listening to Zhao Yi's words, the old guy smiled and said, "That's a good point." That's true, and it's even pretty good. This is human nature, think about it from ancient times to the present, such examples can be seen everywhere from ordinary people to the rulers of a dynasty. After saying this, he looked at Rebich and said, "There is no need to discuss this issue anymore, and there is no need to question Zhao's decision and practice. It can be seen that he knows exactly what he is doing and has a clear vision of the future. β
Rebic nodded towards Zhao Yi after the old guy finished speaking, expressing his recognition of him. The old guy turned his head and continued to look at Zhao Yi, "Then what are you going to do for the Seventeenth Bureau besides sending the entire action team to you?" β
Zhao Yi looked at the old guy and said, "Of course." To be honest, I'm just as worried about the west side. I'm afraid they're going to do something about this meeting. Although I took the less common way of meeting at sea, and where no one could ambush me, I was still worried that we had caused them a lot of losses before. So I hope that in the near future, the 17th Bureau will shift the focus of its work a little bit and move it to me. β
"Haha." Berezov smiled, "Shift the focus to a gangster, a smuggling syndicate?" What a joke. β
Rebich, who was sitting next to Berezov, looked at Berezov and then at the old guy and said: "As an important participant who knew Dimitri, Milarov and the operation in Romania before, I can responsibly say that now this is no longer an ordinary gangster and smuggling group, and this is related to the vital interests of our 17th Bureau. β
The old guy nodded, expressing basic approval of Rebic's words, "Rebic's words are good. However, I remember saying that they haven't made any big moves lately. So don't worry too much about this. After saying that, the old guy leaned back in the chair, and after thinking about it, he said, "But it's better to be careful." After saying that, he stood up and looked at us, "Wait for me for a while, people are getting older... I also go to the toilet more often. With that, he left the conference room.
It was about ten minutes before the old guy pushed the door open again and walked in. After sitting down, he looked at Zhao Yi and said, "I will try my best to meet your request, now you don't have to think too much, arrange your meeting." Do you understand? β
Zhao Yi heard the old guy say this, and looked at me a little strangely. I nodded to him, indicating that it would be fine. Because I know that the old guy didn't go out to the toilet just now to solve the problem, but he was avoiding what secret channel we were using to assign some tasks.
Zhao Yi turned his head to look at the old guy Younis after seeing me nodding to him and said, "Understood." β
"Good. So is there anything else you can help with? The old fellow asked.
"Hmmm... I have some defenses in the event of an accident. It should be said that it is a way to escape. Zhao Yi said and handed a piece of paper with handwriting to the old guy, "After all, even if these people meet in the west, even if they don't care about the west, the police of many countries, especially the countries around the Black Sea, want to put them in prison all the time." So I always have to be prepared for some emergency measures in case of uninvited guests. β
The old fellow took the piece of paper and looked at me briefly, then looked at me and said, "I said, my dear student, you really have to learn from this fellow countryman of yours." Russian speaks much better than your Ukrainian dialect and can read and write. The old guy didn't look at it carefully after saying this, but handed the paper to Rebic, "Take a good look." You will continue to work with Zhao, and it is up to you to discuss and resolve these issues with him. β
Rebic took the paper as he nodded. The old guy looked at Zhao Yi and said, "I'm ready for the boat." Will arrive at the place you say at the specified time. If there is nothing else important, discuss it for yourselves. The old guy looked at his watch, "I have other things waiting for me." β
Zhao Yi immediately nodded and said, "No." As he spoke, he looked at Rebic and Berezov, "I think we can discuss and decide on the rest of the matter." β
"That's good." The old guy stood up and looked at Rebic, "Give me a report at the end." That's it, everybody. β
