Chapter 262 The Water in Moscow is Deep! Standing by the window of the guesthouse room, Ning Weidong watched Belikov get into the car and drive away quickly. He couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that everything would go well. Although Belikov received the gold bars, whether the matter would be successful still depended on luck. Maybe Bakibanov suddenly had something else to do, or was in a bad mood, or for some other reason, all of which could make him decide the success or failure of the whole thing in a moment. On the other side, Belikov returned to Bakibanov's office, walked in and called out "Leader". Bakibanov frowned as he reviewed the recent security reports from Central Asia. Ever since the military operation against Afghan, the security situation in Central Asia has not been optimistic, otherwise he, the security secretary, would not have been transferred from Moscow. Looking up at Belikov, Bakibanov rubbed his eyes and said, "Did you see him? What did he say?" Belikov didn't say anything, but immediately stepped forward and took out the four gold bars from his briefcase. Bakibanov was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully: "Did he give it to you?"

Belikov nodded quickly: "Yes, leader." Bakibanov sighed, picked up a gold bar and weighed it: "What a generous gift! What are you doing with mine when it was given to you by someone else?" Belikov said: "Leader, I am your man, and what you give is mine." Bakibanov laughed and stuffed the gold bar he had just picked up into Belikov's chest: "What does he want to do by giving him such a valuable gift?" Belikov quickly hugged the gold bar in his hands, feeling relieved and secretly happy. Although the four sticks have become one, the four sticks were risky, but this one stick can be taken home with peace of mind. Belikov held the gold bar and said, "He said he wanted to meet with you to report on the details of the cooperation with Kirolev in the Far East. Apart from that, he had no other requests." Bakibanov raised an eyebrow: "His cooperation with Kiroryov?" Belikov calmed himself down a little, realizing that it was time for him to play a role, and quickly explained the situation in general. Bakibanov was surprised: "You mean, he can provide 20,000 tons of vodka every year!" Belikov nodded and said, "That's what he said, and this is also the cooperation he reached with Comrade Kirolev and the Far East. He also said..." Bakibanov frowned and said, "What else did you say? Stop hesitating." Belikov said: "He also said that the trouble with the Kirolev family this time was because of the conflict within their cooperation, because of the promotion of Comrade Babelev. Uh, he is the uncle of the deputy leader of the Far East Communist Purge Group, Xyangovich..." Bakibanov's face darkened. In fact, there were many reasons why he ignored Kirolev this time, one of which was that Babelev asked someone to say hello to him. Now Babelev is in a strong momentum, and the opponent is taking a relatively low profile, so he gave corresponding compensation. Bakibanov was certainly not afraid of the opponent, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give up Kiroryov. However, he didn't expect that there was also the matter of 20,000 tons of vodka per year. Compared with the benefits contained here, the compensation given by Babelev was simply giving alms to beggars.

At the same time, Bakibanov was secretly annoyed that Kiroryov was blinded by greed and did not tell him the truth about such a great benefit. Before this, Kirolev did mention to him the cooperation with Ning Weidong, but he just mentioned it in a casual manner, letting him know about it without explaining it in detail. Otherwise, it is impossible for him not to take such a big thing seriously. To be honest, even if Bakibanov didn't do anything about Kiroryov's accident this time, we can't blame him for being disloyal. In fact, cracks had already appeared in the relationship between the two. When cooperating with Ning Weidong this time, old Kirolev did not tell Bakibanov the truth, but wanted to keep it secret first and wait until the matter became too big to be concealed before telling him. Seryosha's wife Lyudmila didn't know this, and she herself had no idea how big the profits of S Vodka were, so she never got to the point every time she called. Before Ning Weidong came, he had a detailed discussion with Lyudmila and was keenly aware of this point. Only then did he feel that there was hope of changing Bakibanov's attitude. Otherwise, he doesn't have any cards in his hand, so what can he say even if he comes. …… Two hours later, in the guesthouse where Ning Weidong was staying. Bakibanov traveled light and came directly in Belikov's car. Ning Weidong's identity is quite sensitive, and Bakibanov doesn't want people to see him having direct contact with Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong was still waiting for a call, but he didn't expect Bakibanov to come. When I opened the door and saw the other person, I was stunned. Bakibanov is tall and handsome, and even at his age, one can still see the charm of his youth. "Comrade Bakibanov, you actually came here in person!" Ning Weidong stretched out his hands. Bakibanov smiled and shook hands with him, then took the initiative and strode to the sofa to sit down, motioning Ning Weidong to sit down as well: "Comrade Ning Weidong, it seems that Seryosha has made a true friend." Without waiting for Ning Weidong to respond, Bakibanov said directly: "Tell me, what's the matter with the 20,000 tons of vodka?" Ning Weidong hadn't intended to say anything nonsense, and what's more, Bakibanov was the one in charge now, and the pace of the matter and the conversation were in his hands. Ning Weidong immediately repeated it carefully, telling the truth without exaggeration. Bakibanov listened, only occasionally interrupting to ask questions. After Ning Weidong finished speaking, Bakibanov leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes to think. Ning Weidong and Belikov waited quietly, neither of them said a word. After four or five minutes, Bakibanov opened his eyes and looked at Ning Weidong: "You said the annual production capacity is 20,000 tons?" Ning Weidong said quickly: "As for 20,000 tons, I definitely don't have it now, but if the market opens up, I can guarantee that I can meet your demand and produce as much as you need." Bakibanov chuckled: "Young man, are you so arrogant?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "You know, there are one billion people in China."

Bakibanov pursed his lips. He had some understanding of Ning Weidong from Kirolev before and knew Ning Weidong's background in China. "Twenty thousand tons~Twenty thousand tons~" Bakibanov narrowed his eyes and said after a moment's hesitation: "I can help with this matter, but... I want 30%." Ning Weidong took a deep breath and was not surprised that Bakibanov's lion opened his mouth. When you are ready to tempt someone with benefits, you should be aware of his greed. At the same time, Ning Weidong also understood why old Kiroryov did not tell Bakibanov the whole matter. If everything is really revealed, I'm afraid the Kirorev family will only be able to get a sip of soup. According to the original agreement between Ning Weidong and Kirolev, both parties would take care of one side and each get 50% of the profits. But this 50% does not belong to just two people, but to all forces on both sides. On Kirolev's side, from the Far East, the military, the railways, and various departments, probably less than 20% of them will eventually reach Kirolev's home. The same goes for Ning Weidong. The first thing to do is to hand over the money. Although he was an S-class employee, he only ate money from Sulian. Ning Weidong dared not do anything wrong in China. He had to pay what he should pay and give what he should give. This item alone accounted for nearly 20%. The rest is the profit sharing among all parties involved, and in the end Ning Weidong gets less than 20%. Now Bakibanov is asking for 30% of the shares alone. Even if we give him all the Kirolev family’s share, it will not be enough. Ning Weidong said: "Comrade Bakibanov, regarding the division of profits, my attitude remains unchanged. Both sides must be equal. You take 50% and we take 50%. As for how you divide the profits, that is your internal matter." When Bakibanov heard this, his face darkened. If there is only 50% in total, no matter how powerful he is, he can't monopolize 30%. In order to achieve this goal, we must squeeze some from Ning Weidong. Bakibanov narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of danger: "Nothing to talk about?" Ning Weidong said, "I'm very sorry. You should understand our country's modern history. The principle of equality is very important to us. I didn't agree to Yangovich's request for an additional 50%. If I give you 30%, I will only have 40% at most. I will not be able to explain this condition when I go back." Bakibanov snorted lightly, but he did not get angry or overturn the table. He crossed his legs and changed the direction, and said slowly: "Comrade Ning, don't be so sure. I believe you must have a way, otherwise you will not show up in front of me." Ning Weidong thought to himself, he is indeed an old fox, so he simply said no: "Comrade Bakibanov, this is what I think. Our cooperation must be split 50-50, so that I can explain it when I go back. As for your share... Don't you want 30%? I don't care how you divide it, but I can give you 10% of my personal share. I will set up an anonymous account in Hong Kong for this part, and transfer money to it on a monthly basis..." After listening to this, Bakibanov couldn't help but smile. Ning Weidong also smiled. Although Bakibanov's mouth was wide open, wanting to monopolize 30%, in fact, in Ning Weidong's heart, he was not afraid that he asked for too much, but was afraid that he didn't want it. If we can use this incident to establish a vested interest with Bakibanov, its significance will even exceed the vodka scandal itself. However, there are some rules for paying money. If someone like Yangovich directly asks for half of the commission, Ning Weidong will definitely not agree. Apart from the issue of equality, he will only feel that the extra half of the commission that Yangovich gets is what he deserves. But on Bakibanov's side, Ning Weidong deliberately took a detour. Not only did he tie his interests to Bakibanov's to a certain extent, but all the money from then on came from Ning Weidong. Every time Bakibanov saw the amount in the account, he couldn't help but think of Ning Weidong.

After the deal was made, Bakibanov left quickly. Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. It all depended on what Bakibanov would do next. If the agreed 30% share is followed, 20,000 tons of vodka per year will be a huge profit of tens of millions of rubles. Ning Weidong doesn't believe that Bakibanov will not try his best. Ning Weidong stayed in the guesthouse for the rest of the afternoon without moving. It was the worst time to cause trouble. After dinner, when it was already dark, Belikov came again. When they met for the third time, Belikov's attitude towards Ning Weidong had obviously changed. The last time he saw Ning Weidong, he was arrogant in his bones. Ning Weidong came to ask for help, so he had to be humble. Even if he took the four gold bars given by Ning Weidong, he was just succumbing to the magic of gold. But now, the situation is completely different. Ning Weidong has become Bakibanov's guest of honor. Ning Weidong met with Bakibanov in the morning. Belikov was present throughout the meeting. No one knew better than him how much benefit Ning Weidong would bring to Bakibanov. If anyone dared to object to Ning Weidong at this time, the first person to disagree would be Bakibanov. "Comrade Ning Weidong, the plane is ready." Belikov smiled. He didn't even realize that he was already beside Bakibanov. "Thank you~" Ning Weidong shook hands with Bakibanov, his attitude still very polite. Belikov took the initiative to help Ning Weidong carry the small suitcase, and the two of them came down from upstairs. The two girls from yesterday were on night shift at the front desk today. When they saw Ning Weidong and Belikov coming down the stairs, they almost wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes. Belikov is the one carrying the bag. How important must this guy be? Ning Weidong came yesterday and left today. Belikov arranged his accommodation by phone. He did not leave any information, which seemed quite mysterious. Ignoring the two girls at the front desk, Ning Weidong and Belikov got into the car. The car started and headed for the airport. After coming out of the guesthouse, there was no night view to see, so we just chatted about random things. Unlike the "dumb" driver who came here, Belikov was quite talkative this time, and he still felt unsatisfied even when he arrived at the airport. It was still the same air force airport, and this time he took an An-12 transport plane. However, unlike the last time he came here, this plane was specially arranged for Ning Weidong by Bakibanov. Apart from the crew, he was the only passenger on the plane. Ning Weidong got on the plane and waited for only twenty minutes before the plane took off and flew into the night sky. Leaning back on the airplane seat, Ning Weidong felt much more relaxed than when he arrived. Although this trip to Almaty lasted only two days, the gains were considerable. In addition to finding a way to resolve the situation in the Far East, he also came into direct contact with Bakibanov himself. In Ning Weidong's opinion, the latter is more important than the former. With Bakibanov's endorsement, Ning Weidong's activities in the Far East and Baikal region will enter a simple mode. Vodka and Coke are just the beginning; the various electrical appliances that follow are the big deal.

A few hours later, the plane landed at Khabarovsk Airport. Ning Weidong got off the plane and saw little Khoramov from afar. Before coming back, I called little Khoramov in advance. In fact, after reaching an agreement with Bakibanov, Ning Weidong immediately contacted Khoramov Jr. The purpose is to give the other party reassurance. When Khoramov Jr. knew about it, some other people involved also knew about it. Tell them that there is still hope for Kiroryov's case. "Ning, my friend, you are amazing." Little Khoramov stepped forward and gave Ning Weidong a hug. Ning Weidong put the suitcase aside, hugged him and patted his back: "I just did what a friend should do." Little Khoramov said: "Seryosha is so lucky to have a friend like you." Ning Weidong said: "We are friends too, aren't we?" Little Khoramov laughed and said, "Of course, we are friends!" It can be said that Ning Weidong has completely made a name for himself in the upper echelons of the Far East this time. When everyone thought that Kiroryov was finished and the outcome was decided, Ning Weidong stepped forward. In two days, he traveled back and forth for more than 8,000 kilometers and managed to convince Bakibanov, who had originally been certain that he would not take action. Little Khoramov certainly envied Seryosha. If he faced the same situation, would there be such a person who would stand up for him? He searched his mind for all kinds of so-called friends, but after thinking it over, he was afraid that there were none. Although Ning Weidong also had his own interests, the fact is that Ning Weidong went there and succeeded. If Sulian had "Water Margin", Ning Weidong would definitely be called "Hu Baoyi". Little Khoramov sent Ning Weidong to the downstairs of Anaiasna's house. After saying goodbye, he watched him go upstairs and then drove home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father, old Khoramov, sitting on the sofa and fiddling with the chess on the coffee table. Hearing the door open, old Khoramov looked up and asked, "Did you pick him up?" Little Khoramov responded, took off his cotton coat, and sat down on the sofa next to him: "Father, how do you think Ning Weidong convinced Bakibanov? Could he know magic?" It's no wonder he asked this question. When something happened at Kiroryov's house before, he contacted Bakibanov. Even when Yangovich was negotiating with these powerful figures in the Far East, he hinted that his uncle had already informed Bakibanov and asked the other party not to interfere in Kiroryov's affairs. Later, Lyudmila's repeated calls for help to no avail further confirmed Jankovic's statement. Under such circumstances, even if the local people in the Far East had a good relationship with the Kirolev family and wanted to help, they did not dare to move. "Magic?" Old Horamov raised his eyes from the chessboard and said, "My child, there is no magic in this world. There is only profit." Young Khoramov said disapprovingly: "That's quite remarkable."

Old Khoramov said: "This matter is not that simple, don't be too happy too soon." Little Khoramov's expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you think that if Bakibanov comes forward, Yangovich still has a chance of winning?" "Come out?" Old Khoramov asked, "How can he come out? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is focusing on Central Asia now, and Bakibanov has been sent out of Moscow. Do you think he can come to the Far East in person?" Little Khoramov shook his head. This was obviously impossible. But even if no one came, with Bakibanov's level and energy, couldn't he suppress a mere Yangovich? Old Horamov continued: "Yankovic is nothing, but don't forget that the director behind the whole thing is not Yankovic. He is at best an actor standing in the front." "This..." Khoramov murmured, "Yangovich's uncle has just been transferred to Moscow. He has a shallow foundation and is not yet firmly established. How dare he confront Bakibanov head-on?" Old Khoramov sneered, "Why not? Do you know who pushed for his transfer to Moscow this time? Who promoted him?" Little Khoramov was at a loss. In fact, the sudden promotion of Yangovich's uncle is still a mystery in the political circles of the Far East. Although there are many rumors, none of them can stand up to scrutiny. Old Khoramov smiled mysteriously: "It's little Rokov." Little Khoramov was shocked: "It's Little Rokov from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! But... this..." He was confused. Bakibanov was the secretary of the Security Council of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Rokov Jr. was his immediate superior. If Yangovich's uncle was promoted by Rokov Jr., why did they start fighting among themselves? Old Khoramov guessed what he was wondering about and said directly, "I don't know what the inside story is. Anyway, it's very complicated. The water in Moscow is very deep... Anyway, even if Bakibanov shows up this time, I'm afraid he may not be able to suppress Yangovich." …… On the other side, Ning Weidong returned to Anaiasna's home. "Honey, you're back!" Anaiasna was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that Ning Weidong left last night and came back in the middle of the night today. Then she became worried again. He came back so soon. Did he fail? But looking at Ning Weidong's condition, it doesn't seem like that. He rushed over to hug and kiss her, then asked what was going on. Ning Weidong smiled and patted the beauty's butt. Things were urgent these two days and he had no time to be distracted. Now that he had convinced Bakibanov, the pressure was suddenly relieved, and he had some leisure time. He played with the ball along his collar, saying, "Don't worry, it's done!" Anaiasna's eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief. At least I don’t have to flee to China with Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong thought of Hu Bayi and Wang Ye, so he took his time to call them and told them not to worry. …… A few minutes later, Hu Bayi put down the phone and rushed to the next room with excitement. Wang Ye had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair. She was a little shy and didn't want to open the door. But he heard Hu Bayi outside the door saying that Ning Weidong had just called, so he didn't care about anything else and quickly opened the door: "Any news?" When Hu Bayi saw Wang Ye's graceful appearance for the first time, he was stunned.

"You idiot~" Wang Ye gave him a look, pulled him into the house and closed the door: "Tell me quickly, what progress has Ning Weidong made in Almaty?" He thought Ning Weidong was calling from Almaty. Hu Bayi came back to his senses, forced his eyes away from the white neck and collarbone, and said with a light cough: "He's back. He got off the plane half an hour ago." Wang Ye was stunned. You're back now? It's been less than two days at most. What can you do in such a short time? I'm afraid you won't even be able to see Bakibanov. However, Hu Bayi's next words made her even more incredible. Hu Bayi said: "He told us not to worry, it's already been done, Bakibanov agreed to come forward." Wang Ye believed that Hu Bayi would not talk nonsense, and also believed that Ning Weidong would not joke about such things, but... but this was too exaggerated! I left by plane last night and came back tonight. It took more than ten hours on the plane to and from there. (End of this chapter)
