The quiet Moskva River flows quietly. On the Volker luxury yacht with a long and unique shape, Li Huqiu is leaning on the guardrail and admiring the style of Moscow city along the river. On the deck opposite him, he holds a sun umbrella with a
They got a recliner, and a handsome Chinese man was lying on it. A waiter brought a large bottle of blueberry juice full of water drops and put it on the small table next to the chair, and then poured a glass for the Chinese man. The Chinese man brought
He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Li, don't you want a drink?" Li Huqiu shook his head with a smile.
The Chinese man said: "Mr. Li doesn't look like he's asking for help."
Li Huqiu said: "Of course I'm not here to ask for help."
"Oh? You're not here to ask for help?" The Chinese man showed displeasure and sneered, "Then I'd like to know what you're here for?" [
Li Huqiu deliberately sounded alarmist and said: "I'm here to help people!"
The Chinese man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly and said: "Help? Who to help? Me? But I don't know what help Mr. Li can do for me?" After looking up and down Huqiu, he asked: "Mr. Li is planning on his own.
Are you here to protect me?"
Li Huqiu smiled and said noncommittally: "Mr. Zhang seems to feel that he is very safe?"
It turned out that this person was Zhang Tianpeng, and Li Huqiu contacted this person through the intelligence officer of the embassy in China.
Zhang Tianpeng is a young man who has achieved success at a young age. He may seem a little crazy, but he is actually a man who has experienced ups and downs. He does things in a flawless manner. He arranged to meet Li Huqiu on the river just out of caution. It can avoid the conversation being eavesdropped, and it is not easy.
Falling into the trap of the enemy. In the city of Moscow, smuggling tycoon Zhang Tianpeng is a piece of Tang monk meat. People from Wotseson, the Kazan mafia and the Siberian Union have tried to take advantage of him. But until now, he is still safe and sound.
At the residences of various dignitaries in the city of Moscow. In addition to being cautious, the most important reason is that he has a strong security force around him. The Hanfeng mercenary group has created a fierce reputation in the Siberian region in more than a year.
Zhang Tianpeng glanced at the big Chinese man at the stern of the ship who was engraved with four darts and a piece of plaster, and nodded confidently, "Of course I'm safe."
Li Huqiu had long noticed the existence of the big man. The thief king could tell at a glance that the man's kung fu was about the level of energy transformation, but there was an aura about this man, as fierce as a wolf king and as cold as a cold front. At a glance, the thief king was stunned
Thinking of the murderous intent in Li Gangfeng, the murderous intent in this young man seemed to be no less than that of Li Gangfeng! In other words, although this man was only in the realm of transforming energy, his mental cultivation was already at the realm of a top master. If Huqiu expected it to be true,
, then how many dangerous killings does this person have to go through to forge the ultimate state of mind cultivation? Li Huqiu also noticed that the big man's hands were soft and dexterous. While he was carving, his eyes were always staring at the landscape of buildings along the coast.
The four darts on the top have different divisions of work, but seeing the plaster flying between his fingers, the flow of work was generally carving it into a house. Then he took out the second piece of plaster from the box and continued to carve. It was obvious that he was
I am honing my character and the flexibility of my fingers.
The big man glanced at Huqiu, and their hearts tightened at the same time. Li Huqiu suddenly felt that this big man with a "low" level of martial arts made him feel very dangerous, even compared to a strong man of Long Yong's level.
Give me more! And the big man probably felt equally uncomfortable in his heart, because the moment he looked into the Thief King's eyes, the dart he was finishing carving in his hand suddenly stopped, and there was an obvious mistake. The big man quickly looked away, and there was a mistake.
By mistake, he continued to carve the carving into another spire building. Only then did Li Huqiu realize that what he was carving was exactly the building along the river that he saw.
There is such a person beside Zhang Tianpeng. No wonder he is so confident in his own safety. Based on the flexibility of the big man's hands, Li Huqiu judged that this man must be a super master of using guns, and it must be a pistol! It only has one hand.
With one gun, two hands are just two guns. Why would he use four darts to practice carving at the same time? Doesn't this mean he is distracted? Is this a special way for him to train his mind? Could it be that he can
Two guns with both hands at the same time? Li Huqiu immediately gave up this incredible idea. Although the big man's palms were wide, soft, flexible and even inferior to his own, having four guns with two hands was still too unbelievable.
Li Huqiu nodded and said: "With him by your side, there are indeed not many people in the world who can hurt you, but the safety I am talking about does not mean this aspect."
Zhang Tianpeng smiled indifferently, looked at Li Huqiu, and waved his hand to indicate that he would please continue.
Li Huqiu said: "Mr. Zhang Jinze is almost ninety this year, right?"
"His ninetieth birthday will be in two months."
Li Huqiu said: "I heard that the old man has not been feeling well since last year."
Zhang Tianpeng said calmly: "Mr. Li, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Li Huqiu said: "Mr. Zhang must have heard the saying that eggs cannot be put in one basket."
Zhang Tianpeng pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Li seems to have something to say, but please make it clear, Zhang is all ears."
Li Huqiu said: "Mr. Zhang was very close to Taizong in the early 1980s, and he exercised the power of prime minister as deputy prime minister for several years. He especially loved to support the underachievers. Today, the Shencheng gang who is active on stage has benefited from his kindness.
At most, so your Zhang family is now at its peak. Huqiu paused here and changed his subject: "There is a saying that glory is limited to dangerous peaks. Now the Shencheng Gang, headed by Jin Shang, has entered an old age. By the end of China
It is about to enter the WTO, and it is the time when the economy is in charge of flexing its muscles. However, the Zhang family does not have many talents in this field. Even with the help of the current superiors, it will be difficult to maintain the current power in the future, especially Mr. Zhang's Parkinson.
The disease is getting worse and worse, and next year will be another election year. The day when the Zhang family will reach its peak is not far away. As far as I know, the Zhang family is still bragging about the Shanghai Gang and the Young Boys, but Mr. Zhang doesn’t think anyone should brag about it.
Are you just blowing the whistle on the princelings?"
Zhang Tianpeng listened quietly, and when Li Huqiu reached this point, he suddenly interrupted and asked: "May I ask who Mr. Li is?" [
It turned out that Li Huqiu did not tell Zhang Tianpeng about his family background before he asked him to meet. Therefore, Zhang Tianpeng only asked this question after hearing his good talk and knowing the inside story of the political arena. The reason why he agreed to meet with Li Huqiu was to give
The powerful intelligence officer in the embassy was so generous that Zhang Tianpeng believed that he would never introduce him to a foreigner.
Li Huqiu said frankly: "My father, Li Yuanchao, is the husband of Chen Lili, chairman of the Southeast Freedom Foundation."
Zhang Tianpeng said with emotion: "It turns out that the leader of the Southeast Free Society has arrived. To be disrespectful, brother, your name Li Huqiu is too unfamiliar, but the name of your little lady is already familiar to me. No one in the circle knows you.
The female goddess of wealth in our family donates hundreds of millions of dollars in donations?"
Li Huqiu was about to humble himself and said: "Mr. Zhang"
Zhang Tianpeng suddenly stood up and said straight to the point: "I don't read much, especially I don't like to go around the bush. If Brother Li doesn't mind, just call me Brother Zhang."
Li Huqiu said: "Brother Zhang is a straightforward person, and my brothers have heard about what he has done in the past. Since this is the case, brothers are not lying."
"That's right!" Zhang Tianpeng said with a smile: "To be honest, my grandfather talked about your father and Secretary Xie of Shencheng a few months ago. At that time, he said that the younger generation was to be feared, and he also said that we, the younger generations, should pay attention to it.
In the long run, make more friends and fewer enemies. It’s a pity that the feud between an unscrupulous son of the Zhang family and you, Brother Li, caused the breakdown of the decades-old friendship between your two families."
There are no eternal rivals, only eternal interests. This sentence has more political applications. Li Yuanchao's strong stance when faced with a crisis before, and Xie Runze's final compromise after saying that he was ill and forced to do so shocked the government and the public.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before this trend in southeastern politics spreads across the country.
Li Huqiu said: "Brother is here to plead guilty. I hope to meet Brother Zhang and put our grudges away with a smile. In addition, we also plan to discuss a business deal with Brother Zhang."
Zhang Tianpeng said: "Zhang Tianming's death was really a heinous crime and he brought it upon himself. The reason why our two families had a feud over that incident was that the political differences between the two old men were far greater than the incident itself. Brother Li did nothing wrong. Why?
Are you here to plead guilty? What I’m more interested in is what kind of business does Brother Li plan to do with me?”
Li Huqiu said: "The Liberty Society has an ocean-going fleet. I heard that the Haotian Industry owned by Mr. Zhang and his friends has Haotian Energy, which produces a large amount of oil every year. It has always been interested in opening up shipping channels. The Liberty Society
There are several 200,000-ton oil tankers in the fleet that hold qualification certificates issued by the International Shipping Council. These ships are currently running on the Middle East route. If Brother Zhang is interested, you may wish to discuss it with your partner.
I can adjust these ships to the northern route at any time."
Li Huqiu had done some homework before coming. After learning about the company structure of Haotian Industrial from Zhang Manli, he contacted Li Li. Only then did he learn that the Zhang family had sent someone to contact her to discuss building a shipping channel, but at that time she
I don't agree due to positional reasons.
Zhang Tianpeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. There has always been a big problem in the transportation and storage of the oil produced by Haotian Energy. It is too difficult to lay pipelines under the current conditions. Firstly, the weather conditions are harsh, secondly, the terrain is complex, and thirdly, the cost is too high.
Gao. At present, we can only use land transportation. We use oil tankers to transport ants as if moving. The transportation cost is high, and it cannot keep up with the production capacity of Haotian Energy. The backlog of oil products is becoming increasingly serious. Ye Haodong has more than once
Let him open up a maritime transportation line, but the only domestic shipping company that is capable and qualified to run this route is Yangtze Dragon Shipping Group, a subsidiary of Free Society. Everyone in the circle knows that this company has a close relationship with Li Yuanchao, and Li Yuanchao and the Zhang family
Several second-generation political upstarts are considered political opponents.
Mr. Zhang Jinze has seen the situation clearly since the last time Li Yuanchao succeeded in forcing the palace. He knows that the alliance between Xie and Li is unbreakable. The influence of the two families in the military will be a solid backing for Xie Runze and Li Yuanchao to take the center of the political stage in the future. Neither brother has yet
At the age of fifty, the future is limitless. Zhang Jinze is a far-sighted politician, that's why he said those words at home. Now that Li Huqiu has come to the door and offered conditions for repair, isn't this just like pie in the sky?
"If it weren't for that misunderstanding, we would have been close friends for a long time. Since Brother Li took the initiative to extend an olive branch, how can I, Zhang Tianpeng, be that ignorant person who calls me brother?" Zhang Tianpeng walked to Huqiu.
, said sternly: "Brother, this is just a timely help. To tell you the truth, brother, I am worried about this matter. You don't know the temper of my partner. That guy's business skills are boundless."
, also has a bad temper. Once the oil comes out, it cannot be transported back to the country. The rent of several storage bases in Russia is expensive, and the storage capacity is still limited. There is no other way but to limit production. The Japanese have ships and are willing to provide
The price is good, but he would rather stop production than sell it. Isn’t this just because he can’t make ends meet with money? Well, now, with your few ships, brother, you can bring the oil back in time, and brother won’t have to suffer from the donkey every day.
Angry."
Li Huqiu praised: "Brother Zhang, this partner has unique vision, boldness and carefulness, and his courage is unmatched by my generation. Listening to what you said, brother, I suddenly felt that my previous ideas were a bit petty. Logistics under the Liberty Society
Warehousing bases have basically been laid out across the country, and there is also one in Bincheng in the north. It is not large in scale but the area is really large. If Brother Zhang and your partner are interested, we might as well build a large warehousing base there."
Zhang Tianpeng said excitedly: "If this is the case, it is not impossible to build a pipeline from the Far East within ten years! In fact, my partner has already had this intention, but he has been suffering from the lack of a suitable place to build such a large storage base."
Business matters have their own professional managers to negotiate specific matters. Neither of them is a person who is willing to spend money, and Zhang Tianpeng's partner is a money-lending boss. All he needs to do is overcome the biggest hurdle of standing.
, everything else is easy to discuss. The next thing to do is to have a drink to enhance mutual understanding.
The blueberry juice was replaced with strong vodka, and the waiter poured a glass for each of them.
Li Huqiu raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhang, you are overseas and have built this business from scratch, but you have never forgotten your family's upbringing. Just this word of filial piety makes your brothers admire you."
As the saying goes, if everyone carries the sedan chair, those who can speak can only say what they want you to say. Li Huqiu's words spoke to Zhang Tianpeng's heart.
Zhang Tianpeng waved his hands modestly, looked at the Western-style buildings along the coast, and sighed: "To tell you the truth, brother, I had no choice but to do this here. Before I came here, I spent several years in jail in Steel City, and I have been politically exhausted.
There is no value in training, so I have no choice but to stick to my old business and continue the Sino-Russian trade." He raised his glass and drank the strong vodka in one gulp, and sighed to himself: "Although I am doing well now, I am still in a foreign land after all. If I can't
How is going home different from walking at night in brocade clothes?"[
Li Huqiu raised his glass and said: "Being a stranger in a foreign land, my brother, I have also experienced this feeling."
After thirty years of drinking, Zhang Tianpeng became even more drunk. He stood up and faced the outside of the boat, gesturing twice in the air with his hands, as if he wanted to catch something, but he couldn't find anything. He said: "In this foreign country, I made friends with celebrities, went back and forth to drink wine, and went up and down.
In the vanity and glitz, it seems that the scenery is limited, but in fact, this kind of life is just like traveling through a series of colorful dreams with empty content. When you wake up, you still have nothing and your hands are empty. It is so unreal, like stepping on cotton wool, as if
In one inadvertent moment, you will lose your footing and fall into the abyss. Year after year, you will fall forever."
Li Huqiu asked: "Brother Zhang seems to have no sympathy for people who are sad, but I wonder what your brother has that is difficult to understand?"
Zhang Tianpeng sighed again, hey! Then he said: "Don't have a heart for sad people. I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother. My brother is always unhappy because of a woman."
Li Huqiu wanted to ask for help, but he did not want to weaken his momentum. Although the business cooperation mentioned before was a help in times of need, it was still a good thing for both parties to make profits and benefit both sides. He saw that Zhang Tianpeng seemed free and unrestrained, but after three cups
After drinking, he looked full of sorrow and sorrow. It was obvious that he had something very serious on his mind, so he deliberately inquired to see if he could help. Then he asked: "But I don't know which woman it is that makes Brother Zhang like this?"
The characters are so concerned."
This question immediately made Zhang Tianpeng stunned on the spot, and his eyes towards Li Huqiu became strange, and he hesitated for a moment. Li Huqiu looked at him with a questioning look. Zhang Tianpeng probably had been holding back his worries for a long time, and he gritted his teeth and said
: "That woman's surname is Li, and she seems to be related to you."
Li Huqiu's mind turned around. He had a lot of aunts and cousins in his family, but Huqiu didn't know many of them. He didn't know which one he was talking about. Zhang Tianpeng continued: "Her name is Li Yubing, why don't you recognize her?"
My cousin?"
In front of Li Yuanchao, there was another man under Li Housheng's knees. Unfortunately, he died in that catastrophe, but he left behind a daughter named Li Yubing. Li Huqiu knew something about this, but he only heard her name.
See her. When Li Housheng passed away at the end of the year before last, the cousin seemed to have come back, but she came and went in a hurry. At that time, Li Huqiu was grudged against the Qiao family and was worried about others, so he didn't even have the slightest impression of the cousin.
Next. I didn’t expect that Zhang Tianpeng was actually a passionate person, let alone that the woman he was so infatuated with was from the Li family. Li Huqiu said: "Even if I don’t tell you about my brother’s origins, Brother Zhang must have heard about it. In the family, my name is brother."
There are really not many people who have names, but when you said it, I remembered that she was from my deceased uncle's family, but I didn't expect that Brother Zhang's sweetheart was actually the daughter of my Li family."
Zhang Tianpeng said: "You two siblings are somewhat similar in appearance. Neither of you are stunning, but you are very attractive. If it weren't for this, I probably wouldn't have said so much to you."
Li Huqiu said: "If my memory is correct, my cousin is now over thirty, right? Brother Zhang is handsome and talented, and it is even more rare to have such infatuation."
Zhang Tianpeng was so drunk that he shook his head and said: "They say why should a man care about his wife? They also say that there are grasses everywhere in the world, why should he only fall in love with a flower? Brother, don't you think it is despising that I hang myself on a tree like this?"
Li Huqiu said sternly: "Those who say these things are bastards. It is easy to ask for valuables, but it is rare to find a lover. I only respect the love you have for my cousin, Brother Zhang, and I will never look down on it! And, to be honest,
My brother came to Russia this time just for a woman. Isn’t it natural for men to like women and treat them better?”
"Well said!" Zhang Tianpeng gave a thumbs up. He has been in the upper class for many years and has seen many romantic and elegant people who do not take women seriously. Occasionally, when he goes in and out of romantic places, these people often
He thought it was very strange that he didn't have a family or find a woman. What's more, it was even said that he had a habit of Longyang. He had always kept this feeling in his heart, and even the boss Ye whom he admired the most did not
I have mentioned it before, but it is actually because Ye Haodong is also a romantic guy. From the beginning, Zhang Tianpeng did not believe that a man with such a colorful personal life would understand his thoughts, so he never mentioned this matter to Ye Haodong.
Little did he know that the personal life of the young brother-in-law in front of him was only worse than that of Ye Daguan.
Zhang Tianpeng's deep affection, Gao Hua's simplicity and timelessness are rare, but unfortunately it is rare for anyone to understand. Men are not bad because they have no conditions to become bad. Almost everyone in Zhang Tianpeng's circle of friends has the conditions to become bad, and almost all of them are not infatuated.
A dedicated person. Li Huqiu was the first "inner person" he met who agreed with his infatuation, and he was also Li Yubing's close cousin. How could he not make Brother Tianpeng feel that it was hard to find a confidant?
After all, he was extraordinary. Even though he was drunk, he still knew that Li Huqiu was here to discuss cooperation matters. He must be a night owl who came into the house to prevent him from coming. He didn't ask before because he was waiting for Li Huqiu to speak on his own so that he could take the initiative.
Now after some communication, his idea has changed, and he asked: "Brother, you just said that you came to Moscow for a woman. Can you tell me what is going on?"
