v3 Chapter 33 - Cicino Holiday Hotel
? After leaving the cafe, Guo Shoucheng went directly back to the reserve and explained to Guo Shouyun the so-called negotiation play today. The same feeling as his younger brother, Guo Shouyun also did not expect that his contract would actually be signed by someone, and he could still show his willingness. Such a person is not simple, and it is necessary to meet him. Guo Shouyun came to this conclusion.
But at this time, he didn’t have time to see this man named Rilke. His plan had already been rolled out. In order to destroy all the uncompromising trading companies in Blagoveshchensk, he tonight On the pretext of receiving the wind for Yakov, he specially held a dinner party. The venue of the banquet was set in the banquet hall of the Cusino Holiday Hotel, which was only enjoyed by the rich and powerful, and there were only eleven people who received invitations, even if Yakov was counted. Among these eleven people, With the exception of Ivanov and Susykhov, who are military figures, the others are the heads of the Amur region’s trade bureau. The top leaders of the eight competent departments of the state, municipal government, foreign trade company, customs inspection, chamber of commerce, traffic and transportation construction committee, health management committee, food management committee, and internal affairs office are all invited.
Like these departments that are closely related to trade, Guo’s Trading Company has always maintained close contact with them, and usually gives a lot of money to each of them, so it is naturally no problem to invite them to the reception this time, not to mention The rhetoric of this reception made them unable to refuse – maintaining a good relationship with the safety committee is crucial for any department. Most importantly, the heads of these departments only received news yesterday that Guo Shouyun, a Chinese who had been secretly offering bribes to them, was secretly arrested by the Security Committee. Although it was said that he was later released, the big guy’s The heart is also on the strings. No one knows what Guo Shouyun said in the Security Committee, nor what the new official Yakov will do next. Therefore, they will participate in today’s reception no matter what.
The weather in this season seems to be unpredictable. At more than two o’clock in the afternoon, the sparse rain began to fall, and when it was more than five o’clock, the rain became heavier.
Ivanov and Susykhov arrived at the Kusino Holiday Hotel together. When they arrived, except for Guo Shouyun and Yakov, all the other invited officials had already arrived. People gathered in the corridor in front of the main building of the hotel, obviously, they were waiting for the main lord to appear.
As high-ranking military generals, Ivanov and Susykhov can be regarded as a position between local officials and the security committee. They have no fear of Yakov, plus Yakov’s family background. relationship, the two generals will not frighten him. However, several officials were waiting at the door, and it was difficult for the two of them to enter the building on their own. That’s all, a group of people crowded in the corridor in front of the building, chatting while waiting for tonight’s banquet. The appearance of the protagonist.
Guo Shouyun and Yakov appeared in the compound of the Holiday Hotel in a car. When they got off the car and walked straight towards the main building, accompanied by a few security committee entourages, many officials present were all talking and laughing. Secretly relieved, but in their hearts, they had an indescribable fear of Guo Shouyun.
Originally, according to Yakov’s intention, he would not appear at this banquet tonight. On the one hand, it was because of the presence of military figures at the banquet. On the other hand, it was because he displayed his guns like this. Stand up to express support for Guo Shouyun. Of course, he also has his own identity considerations – what level are these so-called officials invited by Guo Shouyun tonight? Except for Novichov, the first secretary of the Amur region, the others are basically Shang was not even qualified to sit at the same table with him Yakov. However, when Guo Shouyun put forward a lot of reasons, especially when he took out the huge sum of 1.5 million for the purchase of Victor, Yakov still chose to give in. With all these hundred and fifty there, let alone attending a reception with a high profile, even if he was asked to toast everyone at the reception, he would still do it. It’s a real person to do real things, what kind of face, status, etc. It’s not as good as **** in front of money.
Before coming to the Holiday Hotel, Guo Shouyun gave Yakov all his plans one by one, and things like this would not have been possible without his help from Yakov. Don’t think that the local officials will do everything for you when they take your money, they also have their own considerations. What kind of things can be done, what kind of things can’t be done, what kind of things must be done right away, and what kind of things should be delayed, these little Jiujiu, they all understand in their hearts.
As for Guo Shouyun’s annexation plans, Yakov, who was originally lawless, didn’t think it was a big deal. It was just a few private trading companies that couldn’t make it on the table. If they collapsed, they collapsed. Besides, how many of those companies doing trade in the Far East are clean? Who dares to say he didn’t evade taxes? Who’s to say he wasn’t lucky with contraband? Just picking out one or two of these problems can sort them out logically, and it’s guaranteed to make them cry. Yakov even felt that Guo Shouyun was making a big fuss. For something like this, his people could handle it properly, and the secret police would be able to do anything.
In the corridor in front of the hotel building, Guo Shouyun greeted all the officials who were waiting there warmly, and although Yakov was the focus of people, he had been waiting by the side with a gloomy face, looking like that, It’s as if everyone owes him millions and hasn’t paid it back.
Ivanov and Susykhov watched with cold eyes, feeling both emotional and relieved. They sighed that they were ranked as generals, but after all, they were not as strong as a school official in the safety committee. What is relieved is that they don’t have to worry about their own military expenditures in the future. Obviously, Guo Shouyun has already brought the chairman of the Far East Branch of the Security Committee into the water. Now everyone is a crow squatting on the bottom of the pot, the upper and lower sides are dark, and the army and the safety committee are trying to maintain the situation where the well water does not violate the river water.
“Ah, comrades,” Guo Shouyun said loudly after greeting several officials one by one, “Brother, I came from China to do trade in Blagoveshchensk. In the past few months, thanks to everyone’s care, my brother’s company has been able to expand to the scale it is today.”
Guo Shouyun said this, turned his head to look at Shoucheng who was following behind him, holding two password boxes in his hand, and then continued: “I’m ashamed to say, although Shouyun has taken care of everyone in the past few months, but because of business I’m busy, so I haven’t had a formal chance to sit with you all. My younger brother is young, and although I spend more time with you, there is inevitably a place where I don’t greet you well. So today I’ll continue to replace it with you. Brother Yakov took the opportunity to wash away the dust, and Shouyun invited everyone to a place, even if he is thanking everyone by the way.”
“Shouyun is too polite,” all the officials present were pressed by Yakov’s gloomy face and dared not speak. Susykhov, who was about to get cold at the scene, had to stand up and say, “This is Speaking of which, we would like to thank you a lot, if it wasn’t for your generosity, our Sixteenth Division would probably have rioted by now.”
“Yeah, what Comrade Susykhov said is right,” Ivanov also came out to smooth things out and said, “Don’t say those polite words. Today we only talk about friendship and nothing else, hehe, nothing else.”
“Wait!” Just as Ivanov finished speaking, Yakov, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, his gloomy eyes glanced at the faces of several officials, and then he said in a gloomy tone, ” For Yakov, the two generals have known each other for a long time. As for brother Shouyun, I have nothing to say. There is no doubt that we only talk about friendship. As for the other comrades, this There is no friendship to talk about, and we have to finish the business first.”
