Chapter 260: One Time, Another Time The two met again after a long separation. Anaiasna had been worried and frightened all day, her heart was in her throat. When she saw Ning Weidong at this moment, her emotions suddenly burst out, and she lay on him and burst into tears. Ning Weidong held her and walked two steps inside, then closed the door with his backhand, patted Anaiasna on the back, and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here~" Anaiasna uttered "hmm", raised her head with a sob, and suddenly hugged Ning Weidong's neck, kissed him hard with her red lips, and did not separate until she ran out of breath, but this was to calm her emotions. After wiping away her tears, Anaiasna pulled Ning Weidong to sit in the living room and said impatiently, "Dear, something happened in the Kirolev family!" Although he had expected it, Ning Weidong's heart still tightened when he heard it from Ana Yasna: "What's the situation? Tell me in detail." Anaiasna said, "I don't know the details, I just know that today, uh, yesterday, around 4pm, I suddenly received news that old Kirolev was taken away from the tractor factory." Ning Weidong asked: "Is it the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the police?" Anaiasuna shook her head: "I'm not sure about that. It's very serious no matter who it is." Of course Ning Weidong knew that the situation was very serious and he was taken away directly from the factory. This was done without giving him any face at all and the purpose was to severely damage the reputation of old Kirolev.
Even if he is released in the future, old Kirolev's position in the tractor factory will be shaken, causing some people who were originally obedient to have other thoughts. At the same time, Ning Weidong also realized that it was no wonder that Mikhail dared to attack Seryosha on the train. He even attacked his father, let alone his son. Moreover, there was a time difference here. The other party took action after Seryosha left Birobidzhan, eliminating the resistance of the Kirolev family to the greatest extent. It can be said that they took great pains and planned carefully. "Honey, what should we do?" Anaasuna was at a loss. Although she had received rigorous training, she had not experienced actual combat, and her inner strength was far from being that strong. Ning Weidong said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, wait until daybreak." Although time is very critical now, Ning Weidong has almost no other connections in Biroli except the Kirolev family. He planned to go see little Khoramov tomorrow. Given his relationship with Khoramov Jr., it would be inappropriate for him to show up at his house in the middle of the night. He would only be seen as panicking and would be vulnerable to being controlled. As for the few hours later, when Kirolev and his son were convicted, it was not within Ning Weidong's consideration. If they can't even hold on for a few hours, they deserve to die. Ning Weidong took a deep breath to relieve the pressure in his heart. Although he had a beauty in his arms, he was not in the mood for that at the moment. Anaiasna was also feeling anxious, so the two of them simply tidied themselves up and fell asleep in each other's arms. But I didn't sleep well. I fell asleep at 2:30 and woke up before 7:00 the next morning. Anaiasna made a simple breakfast. After eating, Ning Weidong took her downstairs and drove to find Hu Bayi and Wang Ye. Meet at the agreed hotel. The three of them separated yesterday. Hu Bayi and Wang Ye went to the hotel designated by Ning Weidong and got up early to wait for news from Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong asked Anaiasna to wait in the car while he went to tell Hu Bayi and Wang Ye.
"Lao Hu, Wang Ye, I'm going to find little Khoramov right away to see what's going on here." Ning Weidong told his plan: "Don't act rashly, the most important thing at this time is not to make mistakes. The enemy is in the dark, I'm in the light, we can't let them catch us." Hu Bayi and Wang Ye nodded in agreement. They had no experience in dealing with such a complex and urgent situation. Since Ning Weidong had the rules, they just listened. After leaving the hotel, Ning Weidong got into the car again and went straight to a sanatorium on the outskirts of the city. Before going out in the morning, Ning Weidong called little Khoramov in advance and the other party agreed to meet here. The white building of the sanatorium is looming under the shade of dark green pine trees, just like Khoramov's position and attitude. Ning Weidong got out of the car and walked in with Anaiasna. From a distance, I saw the sturdy man whom I met last time at the club with little Khoramov. Physically, this man was stronger than Mikhail. The burly man came forward and glanced at Ning Weidong with an unfriendly look, but that was all. He did not do anything out of the ordinary and sent Ning Weidong and Anaiasna in. In a room on the second floor of the main building of the sanatorium, little Horamov was leaning against the window smoking. When he saw Ning Weidong coming in, he showed a helpless expression: "Ning, I didn't expect that our meeting again would be like this." Ning Weidong walked over and shook his hand: "I didn't expect that either." Little Khoramov nodded to Anaiasna again. Anaiasuna tried to reduce her presence as much as possible and sat down on the sofa. Ning Weidong got straight to the point: "I want to know what's going on?" Little Khoramov said: "I was also surprised. At first I thought the military was trying to put pressure on me, but when the police took Uncle Kirolev away yesterday, I realized it..." Ning Weidong's brain was working rapidly, trying to determine whether what little Khoramov said was true or false. Then he asked if there was any way to turn the situation around. Little Horamov rubbed his nose with his hands and shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid it's difficult. If possible, I suggest you go to Governor Vlashvo and give it a try." Ning Weidong nodded. It was obvious that the Khoramov family didn't want to get involved in this mess. Moreover, Kiroryov and Khoramov were not from the same faction on the surface. Although they colluded in private, it was just collusion, not alliance. To be honest, in this situation, it was quite considerate of Khoramov not to add insult to injury. In fact, Ning Weidong didn't have any hope. The reason why he came to find little Khoramov first was to collect more information. First, to see what little Khoramov says; second, to see what his attitude is. Some clues can be found from it. Whether the problem can be finally solved still depends on Governor Vlasivo. Vlasivov is the big boss of the entire Far East faction. When Kiroryov gets into trouble, he, as the big brother, cannot pretend not to see it. The lips and teeth are interdependent. Taking old Kirolev away directly from the factory this time is tantamount to a blatant provocation. If Vlasivo doesn't respond, the team will lose morale and be difficult to lead.
After leaving Khoramov, Ning Weidong and Anaiasna returned to the car. Little Khoramov came out and Ning Weidong said goodbye with a smile, but as soon as he sat in the car, the smile disappeared. The two sides did not mention cooperation at all. In fact, Ning Weidong came to find Khoramov first for another reason, which was to see if the other party was interested in taking over the matter after the incident in Kirolev's family. Unfortunately, Ning Weidong overestimated Khoramov's courage. Young Khoramov never mentioned this matter throughout the whole process, and the meaning was obvious. Ning Weidong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Judging from the previous situation, Kirolev is certainly the most suitable partner, but Ning Weidong does not necessarily have to rely on Kirolev. pity…… After a while, the car arrived at the provincial government building. Ning Weidong and Anaiasna walked in. Just now at Khoramov's place, Ning Weidong called Governor Vlasivo's secretary through Khoramov Jr.'s phone. After asking for instructions, the other party said that they could meet. Arriving at the reception room on the third floor of the office building, Ning Weidong met the most powerful man in the Far East for the first time. He was tall, severely bald, and wore a pair of large black-framed glasses. When he saw Ning Weidong come in, he smiled before saying anything, giving people the impression of a good guy. But if you really think he is a good guy, you are wrong. How could a provincial governor who grew up from a poor working-class family in the Far East be a good person? "Comrade Ning Weidong, hello~" Governor Vlasivo shook hands with Ning Weidong and looked him up and down carefully: "What a handsome man." Ning Weidong shook his hand and said, "Your Excellency Governor, you are too kind." "Please sit down~" Frashiwo invited him and sat down on the sofa next to him. The staff brought two cups of tea. Frashiwo said, "Try our Sulian black tea. What's the difference with your Chinese tea?" Looking at the exquisite black tea cup in front of him, Ning Weidong's heart sank. Regardless of whether Vlasivov has the ability to save Kiroryov, his relaxed attitude at this time alone is a problem. Kirolev was Vlasivo's staunch ally. Now that Kirolev was in trouble, Vlasivo should be somewhat anxious even if the situation was not urgent. Ning Weidong came over and asked about the fleas on the monk's head, but he calmly talked about black tea. What kind of attitude is this? "Could it be that Kiroryov is secretly doing something dirty with Governor Vlasyvo that is unknown to the public?" Ning Weidong couldn't help but speculate. He originally had some hope, but now it was probably completely dashed. Thinking of this, Ning Weidong didn't want to waste time, so he simply responded with a few words and went straight to the point: "Comrade Governor, about Seryosha and Uncle Kirolev..." Vlasivo half-heartedly expressed his grief, but in the end there was nothing substantial to say. Ning Weidong clearly understood that this old man had no intention of saving anyone. At this point, Ning Weidong couldn't help but sigh that the Kirolev family's loss was not unfair.
The other party's methods are quite sophisticated. There was no sign of it beforehand, it was a sudden and thunderous blow, and Kirolev's retreat was blocked by some unknown means. Even the last time Ning Weidong came to discuss cooperation with Seryosha on vodka and cola, he was taken advantage of by the other party. Because this matter involved huge interests, the Kirolyov family became the target of public criticism. Ning Weidong came out of the government building with a gloomy face. The situation was more serious than he had expected on the train last night, and seemed to be a dead end. Neither Khoramov nor Vlasivo mentioned their previous cooperation when they met Ning Weidong. Although the previous cooperation was led by Kiroryov, everyone gained considerable benefits. Even if the Kirolev family was destroyed, they still had to cooperate. Why didn't they mention the black or the white? Ning Weidong is not stupid. These mules are not good people. Not mentioning it now does not mean that they give up cooperation, but they want to force Ning Weidong into a corner. Did Kirorev's accident have any impact on Ning Weidong? Of course it did, and it was quite significant. The last time Ning Weidong returned to the capital, he received some praise, but it was not because of how much profit he could gain by opening up this trade channel, but more because of the incidental political benefits. And once the Kirolev family falls, all of Ning Weidong’s last political achievements will be in vain. Compared with the obstruction of cooperation, this is the biggest blow. However, Ning Weidong did not give up, as things had not yet reached that point. Although Kirolev's situation seems to be a dead end, it is not without hope. Since there is no way out within the Far East, he has to look outward. After leaving Vlashvo, Ning Weidong went back to Anaiasna's residence first. He had a rough idea of the next step in his mind, but he had to consider carefully how to implement it. However, just as Anaiasna parked her car on the roadside downstairs, she saw a woman in black fur standing at the entrance of her house. Ning Weidong recognized the man at a glance before he got out of the car and immediately pushed the door open. The woman turned around and it was Seryosha's wife, Lyudmila Kirorevna. When Lyudmila saw Ning Weidong, she immediately rushed forward and said, "Comrade Ning Weidong! Please help Seryosha..." Ning Weidong saw that the other person's eyes were red and his eyelids were swollen. He must have had a very rough night last night. "Ma'am, please don't be anxious. Let's go upstairs and talk slowly." Ning Weidong waited for Anaiasna for a step, and the three of them went upstairs together. When they got into the house, Ning Weidong didn't waste any time and asked directly what was going on. Among all the people he could come into contact with, no one knew the inside story better than the woman in front of him. Lyudmila was not a vase beside Seryosha. When the two got married, they were well matched and it was a marriage of alliance. However, her family's situation has not been good in recent years, and now she can't rely on her mother's family at all. Lyudmila said: "It's Yangovich, and that bitch Hawkinskana..."
Ning Weidong frowned. He knew that Seryosha and Yangovich were not on good terms when he came last time, but it was still surprising that Hodginskana, as Seryosha's lover, actually betrayed him. At the same time, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Kirolev family lost so badly this time, it turned out that there was an insider. Even at the end, when Seryosha was taken away from the train, Hodginskana was still by his side. Ning Weidong couldn't help but gasp, what a deep calculation! However, Ning Weidong changed his mind and felt something was wrong. Given the power of the Kirolev family and their operations in the Far East for so many years, even if someone stabbed them in the back, it wouldn't have been like this. What's more, according to what we learned last time, Yangovich himself doesn't have much power. The 'exiles' in the Far East were all marginal figures, so how come they suddenly exploded with such great power? Ning Weidong thought about it and asked immediately without hiding anything. Lyudmila sighed: "Yankovich's uncle was transferred from the Ural Region to Moscow not long ago..." Although there was no particularly detailed explanation, it was not difficult for Ning Weidong to understand the meaning of this sentence. No wonder Governor Vlasyvo had such an attitude, and no wonder Khoramov had no intention of taking over and continuing to cooperate with Ning Weidong after the incident in Kirolev's family. It’s not that they don’t have this idea, nor is it that they suddenly change their minds and no longer like money. Rather, it was because of Jankovic's identity change and the surge in political resources behind him that a major reshuffle took place in the entire Far East region, and the original political ecology was completely broken. No one dares to act rashly until a new balance is formed. Ning Weidong looked at Lyudmila and asked, "Madam, since you came to see me, what are your plans?" Lyudmila was about to open her mouth when there was a knock on the door. Ning Weidong was stunned and looked at Anaiasna. "Who is it?" Anaiasna asked hurriedly. A familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me~" Ning Weidong frowned. It turned out to be Hawkins Karna who came. He then said, "Open the door." Anaiasna hurried over and opened the door. There were a man and a woman standing outside, and the bright and beautiful blonde was Hawkins Karna. Next to her was a well-mannered man in his early thirties with a scholarly temperament. It was Yangovich. Yangovich came in first, smiled and nodded: "Sorry, I came uninvited." Hawkins Kara followed behind, with an obvious bruise on the right side of her face, which could not be concealed even with powder. Probably because the matter was exposed yesterday and he was beaten by the furious Seryosha. However, this did not affect the woman's appearance as a winner. Compared with her previous humble appearance beside Seryosha, she now raised her chin slightly, wore high heels, and exuded a sense of strength. "It's my honor to have Comrade Yangovich here." Ning Weidong smiled and made a 'come in' gesture. This was the second time Ning Weidong met Yangovich. The last time was when they were hunting in the forest and Yangovich was with Khoramov.
At that time, Jankovic was still a marginal figure, but unexpectedly he would stir up a storm not long after. "Mrs. Kiroryevna is here too." Yangovich smiled and greeted Lyudmila politely. He didn't look like an enemy at all, and was quite a gentleman. Lyudmila was a little flustered. Both her father-in-law and husband had been tricked by the other party. She was a little afraid of this man, so she didn't respond, but just nodded. Ning Weidong signaled Anaiasna to serve tea, and he asked Yangovich to sit down. He got straight to the point and said, "I wonder what advice Comrade Yangovich has for you?" "It's not really about giving me any advice~" Yangovich still smiled, showing the reserved attitude of a winner, and glanced at Lyudmila who was standing next to him. Lyudmila was worried. She used to have the support of her family, so she had the calm demeanor of a lady. But now her halo was gone and she was just an ordinary woman. He looked at Ning Weidong in disbelief. Ning Weidong didn't ignore her. After Anaiasna brewed some new tea, he said, "Take Madam Lyudmila to the house. I will talk to Comrade Yangovich alone." Anaiasna responded obediently and pulled Lyudmila. Lyudmila breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Weidong at least didn't ask her to leave immediately. She couldn't help but feel emotional. Seryosha has made countless friends over the years, but he never expected that at the critical moment he would be no match for a foreigner he had just met. After the two of them went in, Ning Weidong didn't say anything, but slowly picked up the black tea in front of him. Yangovich looked at Hawkins Karna on the side. "Me?" Hawkins Karna was stunned for a moment, with a hint of humiliation in her eyes. Originally, she appeared in front of Seryosha's legal wife and former colleagues as a winner, which made her feel very accomplished. However, this sense of accomplishment only lasted for a moment before it was shattered by a look from Yangovich. Ning Weidong said he wanted to talk 'alone', which obviously did not include her. In other words, she was not qualified. "Sorry~" Hawkins Kara quickly stood up. Although she felt uncomfortable, she kept a positive attitude and quickly walked out the door. Yangovich then looked over and said, "Comrade Ning Weidong, you have already met with Khoramov and Governor Vlasivo. I think we can talk now." Ning Weidong's whereabouts after arriving in Birobidzhan were under the control of the other party. Ning Weidong was not surprised. This was their home court. If Kirolev and his son didn't even have this ability, it would be impossible for them to fall. After arresting Xie Liaosha yesterday, allowing Ning Weidong to move freely is also a kind of attitude. Now that the overall situation is under our control, we give you the opportunity to find a solution. Ning Weidong remained expressionless, there was no doubt that Yangovich put him under great pressure in this situation. But the more this happens, the more Ning Weidong has to hold on. As a time traveler, he already has a psychological advantage, and the improved physique he gained after traveling through time also adds to his psychological advantage. Especially for men, physical strength has a great impact on psychology. Ning Weidong said: "Of course, I am just a stranger here, I am willing to be friends with anyone." Yangovich gave a look of "as expected" and said, "I think we have common interests and can become very reliable friends."
After briefly stating the attitude, the negotiations got down to business. Yangovich first stated: "I can take over all the cooperation between Kirolev and you. I believe you have seen that I have the ability to do so." Ning Weidong said: "You have demonstrated your great strength, but... I don't think you will accept all the conditions that Seryosha and I have negotiated." Yangovich said with his signature fake smile: "About this, I'm very sorry. You Chinese have an old saying, 'One time is different from another.'" Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Yangovich's final Chinese words "this time is different from that time" were pronounced quite standardly. Ning Weidong asked: "How do you mean?" Yangovich said: "You can see that my investment this time is very huge..." Ning Weidong thought to himself: How much you invest has nothing to do with me. Did I ask you to mess with the Kirolev family? But there is no need to say this, it is just an excuse. Yangovich's purpose is easy to understand, he just wants to be better than Kiroryov in every way. Kirolev had previously discussed with Ning Weidong that each party would take half of the profits and be in charge of one part each. Regardless of whether it is fair or not, Yangovich must get more than he originally got when he is substituted in to demonstrate his legitimacy. Sure enough, Yangovich continued, "I want 60%." Ning Weidong had already thought of it, so he didn't get angry. On the contrary, this request shows that Yangovic is relatively rational. If he had asked for 70% directly, the matter would have fallen through. Ning Weidong worked hard, looking for sources of supply and building a factory, but in the end you got 70% and I got 30%, and it was all in vain. The 40%-60% profit split is a rather awkward point, and the price is not non-negotiable. Ning Weidong estimated that if he really showed sincerity in the talks, he could eventually get 45%, and the remaining 50% would be Yangovich's face. But why the hell should I give you face? What a big face, such a big reputation. Ning Weidong cursed inwardly, but his expression remained calm: "Comrade Yangovich, I understand what you mean, but this matter is not up to me... I personally hope to be able to promote this cooperation." Jankovic pushed his glasses and smiled, "Of course, I am a very patient person." After saying that, he stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you any more." He glanced casually at the room that Lyudmila had just entered, then turned and walked out. Ning Weidong was sent to the door. Yangovich said "stay" and opened the door to see Hawkinskanna standing outside. Ning Weidong didn't look at her, he just said "bye" to Yangovich, watched the two of them go down the stairs, closed the door and went back. Anaiasna and Lyudmila came out of the house. Lyudmila could no longer hold back and did not try to hide her inner anxiety. If Ning Weidong also sided with Yangovich, she didn't know what to do. At this time, Ning Weidong still had a question in his mind: why didn't Lyudmila look for Bakibanov after the accident?
According to previous understanding, Bakibanov is a very important political resource for Kiroryov and his son, and he has the support of Chernenko, a big Buddha. If Bakibanov is willing to come forward, things will definitely turn around. Ning Weidong asked when he thought about it. Lyudmila looked dejected and helpless: "I called him, but..." Ning Weidong frowned. This woman's hesitation made him anxious: "Did she not accept it or refuse it?" Lyudmila said: "No, I called several times, but the secretary blocked it every time." Ning Weidong pursed his lips. It seemed that Bakibanov knew the situation here, but for some reason did not want to take action. What's next? Ning Weidong pondered. Even Bakibanov has given up, is there any hope for Kiroryov and his son? Ning Weidong weighed the pros and cons and came up with an idea in his mind. The most taboo thing at this time is to be indecisive. Putting Kiroryov aside, Yangov's conditions must not be agreed to first. If it was just an internal fight in the Far East, it wouldn't make much difference who they would cooperate with in the end, but Yangovic could not accept the additional demands that Ning Weidong made because of their internal fight. This is a form of blackmail. Once agreed to, the relationship between the two parties will become unequal. If we only talk about benefits, Ning Weidong doesn't mind giving up half, because the production end is in his hands and he has full room for maneuver and can pass it on to the cost. By then, even if Yangovich knew it, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb. Because he had been given face, he couldn't let Ning Weidong hurt him again, that would be unreasonable. But the problem is that Ning Weidong can't give this face no matter what. These people from the Speed Alliance still don't understand how much China hates the word "inequality". Why did the two families become enemies? In the eyes of Speedlink, it was just a matter of "long wave radio station and combined fleet". In our eyes, it is bullying, inequality and imperialism. By the same token, if Ning Weidong agreed to Yangovic's request and the news got back home, he would be scolded to death. If he reveals this flaw, he will definitely be caught by someone with ulterior motives. So this is not a half-finished thing at all. It took Khrushchev several years to figure it out, and now Jankovic still doesn't understand. Ning Weidong's words of considering it were just pretense. Excluding the possibility of cooperating with Yangovic, Ning Weidong now has only two options: either find a way to turn the situation around, or go home and give up the original plan. The key to a comeback lies with Bakibanov. Having made up his mind, Ning Weidong said to Lyudmila, "Madam, please believe me. Seryosha and I are friends, comrades, and brothers. I will definitely find a way to save him. Give me Bakibanov's phone number and address, and tell me everything about him." Lyudmila was surprised and happy. She excitedly grabbed Ning Weidong's hand and was speechless for a long time. When she saw Yangovich just now, her heart sank. In her opinion, the overall situation has been decided and there is no need for Ning Weidong to get entangled with their family anymore.
But I didn't expect... Lyudmila finally calmed herself down and told him everything she knew. She couldn't care less about so many things. Now Ning Weidong was her only lifeline. If Ning Weidong doesn't work here, she can only give up. Although according to the current situation, she should be able to retain some visible property, she will completely lose the privileges she once enjoyed. After more than twenty minutes, Ning Weidong sent Lyudmila away. Anaiasna, who had been silent the entire time, asked worriedly, "Honey, do you really want to save Seryosha?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Why? You think I can't do it?" Anaiasna quickly said: "No~ I mean..." Ning Weidong reached out and pulled her into his arms: "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I'll take you away." Anaiasna was stunned. She didn't expect Ning Weidong to make a promise. This is what she has been worried about the most these past two days. What should she do if things fail and Ning Weidong leaves, leaving her behind? And her mother and brother. Anaiasna regretted very much why she didn't hurry up and send them over first. It will be easier for her to cross the border then. Anaiasna's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She hugged Ning Weidong's neck with her arms, stood on tiptoes and bit him fiercely. She seemed to want to melt into Ning Weidong's body. After a long while, he was about to pass out before letting go: "Dear, you are really my angel~" Ning Weidong patted the plump buttocks and flicked his hand. In fact, he never thought about really bringing Anaiasna back to his country, because he would definitely not fail! After leaving Anaiasna's house, Ning Weidong drove to the hotel where Hu Bayi and Wang Ye were staying. Seeing Ning Weidong, the two immediately went up to him and asked how he was doing. Although Ning Weidong told Wang Ye not to contact comrades here, Wang Ye still had her channels to learn some information. During the time that Ning Weidong was away, they had a general understanding of the current situation, which was quite serious. Ning Weidong did not hide anything and directly told everyone what happened during the day and Yangovich's conditions. Hu Bayi was born into a military family and was not so sensitive to these things. Wang Ye immediately frowned and asked Ning Weidong: "What do you think?" Ning Weidong said in a deep voice: "We can't afford to exclude Yangovich directly." Wang Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Ning Weidong would accept Yangovich's conditions in order to achieve cooperation. If that were the case, she would immediately bring Hu Bayi back to China and cut ties with Ning Weidong. If Hu Bayi doesn't want to, then he can just give up on this man. This is Wang Ye’s attitude and courage.
Although she likes Hu Bayi very much, the two have not yet married and have not officially confirmed their relationship. If this relationship requires her to sacrifice her career and political future, she can only bear the pain and cut off the relationship. Fortunately, that didn't happen. Ning Weidong continued: "I plan to meet Bakibanov!" -------- 8,000 words, please vote for me! Please subscribe! (End of this chapter)
