397 Flickering
As soon as this thought popped up, Erickson's brain immediately opened, and all kinds of thoughts and speculations couldn't stop popping outside, including some very shocking and terrifying possibilities. If these possibilities do come true, then everything in Russia will be completely turned upside down.
Erikson swallowed and foamed, he was frightened by the thoughts that popped up in his head, and in the bottom of his mind, he told himself over and over again that these were all speculations, all cranky, all ...... But no matter how much he tried to comfort himself, he was enveloped in fear deep inside.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Xiaofeng also saw that Erickson's face was wrong, he finally said this product with great difficulty just now, and he didn't want to repeat it again. Yes, although a certain immortal was very strong just now, it was impossible for him to really give up Ambrera, Nokia, and North Industries. Being strong is just a strategy he adopts to ensure his own interests, and his core idea is to maintain control of these three companies.
"Uh...... This one...... Not...... Ah......" Erikson didn't know how to speak, let alone if he wanted to ask someone for clarification, so he could only subconsciously utter some syllables.
"If you have something to say, say it!" Li Xiaofeng couldn't take care of this urgency, "I'll leave if I swallow and vomit again!" β
"That's right," Erikson struggled to organize the language, "I have a little doubt. β
Li Xiaofeng said angrily: "Say." β
"Uh," Erikson hesitated, glancing at Victoria without leaving a trace, he didn't want to share such important news with anyone else, "it's nothing, just do as you say!" β
Erikson's ambiguous attitude attracted the attention of Li Xiaofeng and Victoria, both of whom were human spirits, especially Victoria, although she was not very sensitive to political gods, but Erikson's hidden attitude still aroused her vigilance, especially the sneaky glance. She couldn't help but have a guess - you want to fight the ghost behind Miss Ben's back!
I said it before. Victoria is the weakest of the several parties to work with, in order to ensure her own interests, she is quite alert, in order to prevent Erikson from making small moves, she instinctively called Erikson, who was about to flash people.
"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Victoria crossed her hands on her hips and asked menacingly, "Do you want to do tricks behind my back?" Hmph, I'm telling you, don't make it clear. Don't even think about leaving! β
Erikson can't wait to slap himself in the mouth, you idiot, why don't you have any acting talent at all, look, let's show it!
Suddenly, one side was aggressive and wanted to ask for an understanding. On the other hand, he racked his brains to make excuses to shirk, but Li Xiaofeng was cheaper, and he was happy to watch the drama on the side.
I have to say that Eriksen's brain is indeed very flexible, but his acting skills are too poor, especially when he meets a very sensitive Victoria, he is not an opponent at all. After being forced to do nothing, he had to spit out the truth: "I just want to ask Andre." Why did you mix with the Bolsheviks......"
As soon as this statement came out. Victoria and Li Xiaofeng were shocked.
Victoria was opened to Erikson's question, and she has always had the same question. But because of her insensitivity to politics, she has never forgotten it, but now she ...... She soon remembered that her brother had said that someone was of a fairly high position among the Bolsheviks and seemed to have the ability to see the sky with his hands and eyes, and Maxim had expressed his envy and hatred for someone more than once.
Well, as soon as the window paper was opened, Victoria's train of thought suddenly opened, although she didn't care about politics, she was not indifferent to the situation, as a qualified businessman, grasping the direction of the situation is the most basic quality. And in recent months, the biggest party in Russian politics has been the Bolsheviks. Especially during this period of time, the number of voices is simply staggering.
Immediately, Victoria's view of Li Xiaofeng changed radically, she knew someone well, and when she thought that a few months ago, when the Bolsheviks were not even a fart, someone rushed into it. What kind of investment vision is this? Think about it again, has it been someone's unreasonable and unreasonable demand, can it be said?
Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, just now he had been taken aback by Erickson's question, and immediately Victoria also reacted, at this time, these two guys looked at him fiercely, as if a wealth fan saw a gold ingot, and a hungry dog saw a big bone.
still underestimated the heroes of the world, a son-in-law, an eldest lady, just by a little thread, he saw through his arrangement. Who said that the rich second generation must be brainless, and who said that a big chest must be brainless?
However, if you see through it, you can see through it, and for Li Xiaofeng, this is not a particularly big trouble, and he replied nonchalantly: "I have always admired Lenin, what is so strange about joining the Bolsheviks?" β
Victoria and Erikson glanced at someone together and asked very unceremoniously, "Don't beat Ha Luha, say, what are your intentions?" β
Li Xiaofeng continued to pretend to be stupid, and said, "What can I do?" β
"Don't tell me, you don't know where the Bolsheviks came from!" The words had already been spoken, and Erickson had no worries, and asked bluntly: "What they did is not good for us at all, how can you, a mercenary guy, be willing to cut meat?" β
"It shows that I'm great!" Li Xiaofeng said nonsense, "It is my lifelong dream to build a Datong society where everyone is equal and distributed according to needs!" β
Victoria gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Since you are so great, you are so compassionate and compassionate, and you still care about what interests and losses you have with us." Let's contribute streptomycin and radio patents! β
"Cut!" Li Xiaofeng also gave this girl a blank look, "It is the welfare of the proletariat that everyone distributes equally according to needs, and you mercenary bourgeoisie cannot be polite!" β
"Hmph, just keep messing around! You're a fart proletariat! "Victoria won't be fooled by someone," telling you, if you don't make it clear today, our cooperation will be canceled. We bourgeoisie do not want to see the proletarians! β
Li Xiaofeng has a headache, if these two goods are picked, his plan will mean that he will be stranded, and it seems necessary to give them a little sweetness. However, the sweetness must be given, and the scale must also be grasped, he is not like letting this pair of sons and sisters sit on the ground and raise the price.
"If you don't wait to see you, you won't see you!" Li Xiaofeng pretended to be indifferent and said, "Anyway, you guys are not good birds." It's a little easier to work with other people! β
"Don't!" Erickson didn't dare let someone go. Not only because of the hugely lucrative cooperation project, but also because of someone's position among the Bolsheviks, "It's all your own people, don't listen to Victoria's nonsense." We just want to know the direction of the situation in Russia, after all, this huge amount of investment can't be wasted, right? β
Li Xiaofeng glanced at Erikson with disdain, you are not just worried about the investment in the cooperation project, right? You're worried that the Nobel family's business will go down in Russia. Hmph, you kid still want to play a sidenote trick with me. Then I'll pretend to be stupid.
"You're asking me about the situation? It's kind of funny, how can I know about the situation in Russia! Li Xiaofeng said with a big grin.
Eriksson was naturally not satisfied with this answer, he squeezed his eyebrows and asked: "Andre, they are all their own brothers, it is too hypocritical for you to talk like this." Who doesn't know that you Bolsheviks are now in the limelight, maybe they can't tell. You know what! β
"You're confusing me!" Li Xiaofeng continued to pretend to be stupid, "I really don't know!" β
As soon as Eriksen was about to speak, Victoria became impatient and asked directly: "No need to talk nonsense around the bush, Andre, let us support you, there is no problem in cooperating with you...... But you can't hide it either. Who doesn't know what your Bolsheviks are up to...... We want to know the way. Did the Bolsheviks really intend to seize power, did they really intend to implement those slogans and propaganda? β
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly. The most critical moment of Zhilu Dao has come, "If you want to know these problems, you must show sincerity!" β
Eriksen said without hesitation: "We are absolutely sincere, Ambrera and NORINCO are not a problem, they are easy to say." But you have to give us a letter of approval! β
"That's pretty much it!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "It is inevitable that the Bolsheviks will seize power!" β
This sentence shocked Victoria and Eriksen, and the two looked at each other and asked in unison, "When?" β
Li Xiaofeng smiled again: "Do you think I will tell you the time?" β
Victoria and Erickson looked at each other again, and asked in unison again, "What about the propaganda and slogans?" Are you really going to agree to the demands of the workers, are you really going to confiscate the land of the whole country? Will this war really end? β
Li Xiaofeng said quietly: "More than this!" β
Victoria and Erikson immediately panicked, although they don't know how much more Lu Dao is than this, but just these three have already made them feel like they are in mourning.
"How can you do that!" Victoria screamed.
Erikson also nervously yelled: "This is a disaster! β
Li Xiaofeng shook his head contemptuously, "I have to say, you are really short-sighted, can't you see the opportunity?" β
As soon as they heard that there was an opportunity, Victoria and Erikson immediately stopped, and asked nervously, "What chance?" β
Li Xiaofeng said very contemptuously: "The old order in Russia will soon collapse, and the new order will slowly take shape. Don't tell me, you don't see the opportunity! β
"Bullshit chance!" Victoria jumped to her feet and scolded, "I only know that after the Bolsheviks came to power, there was absolutely no good fruit for us to eat." There is a good chance that our business, our earnings, and even our property will be wiped out! And you're talking to me about what a bullshit opportunity! Do you think I'm a fool? β
Li Xiaofeng pouted and said, "You are indeed a fool, or the kind of fool that you can't reach!" β
Victoria was about to go crazy all of a sudden, and Erikson hurriedly grabbed the girl and persuaded: "Listen to what Andre says, when he finishes speaking, if it doesn't make sense, it's not too late for you to get angry again!" After speaking, he turned his head to Li Xiaofeng and said, "Say, Andre, what is the opportunity!" β
"It's pretty simple!" Li Xiaofeng sighed, he really didn't want to make it clear so early, these should have been after the success of the October Revolution, when they were in a mess in Victoria, the effect was the best, "The collapse of the old Russian order means that the original interest groups have been completely smashed, and the Russian economic lifeline that was originally controlled by them will be taken over by new interest groups, do you know what this means?" β
"It means that our interests will be greatly damaged!" Victoria said puffingly.
Eriksson, however, seemed to understand something, and was silent for a moment. Li Xiaofeng shook his head. It has to be said that Victoria is stronger than Erikson in terms of business methods. But in terms of sensitivity to opportunities, the latter's horizons are more broad.
"What's your little interest!" Li Xiaofeng sneered disdainfully, "Your Popov family is not the top giant in Russia at all, and in the entire economic chain, at most it can be regarded as a medium-level businessman." If the old order collapses, it is the big chaebols at the top of the chain who suffer the most. Compared to their losses, your family is just a drop in the bucket! β
Erikson suddenly interjected: "What about our Nobel family?" I'm afraid we'll lose ......"
Li Xiaofeng directly interrupted him: "Your family is a little stronger than the Popov family, and your family's status in Russia is like that." Do you dare to say that your family's oil industry has not been affected by the impact of other big Russian families, and has not been restricted by them? β
Erikson suddenly stopped talking, and the Nobel family now has the oil industry in Baku, but in Russia. Their development was not limited by a lot, after all, they were Swedes after all, and neither the former tsar nor the top Russian family liked to see a foreign family overfed on Russian soil. Therefore, in the past ten years, although their family industry has been making money day by day, it can no longer grow and develop, and there is a tendency to be overtaken.
If Russia reshuffles the cards. Inevitably, they will suffer great losses. But as Li Xiaofeng said, it is definitely not them who have suffered more losses. And you can hear the meaning of someone's words beyond the words. He seems to have a way to make up for these losses, and maybe even take the Nobel family to the next level.
In the same way, Victoria also realized this, the Russian regime reshuffle, swept away the original interest groups, they will certainly suffer, but in the same way, those who are still standing above their heads and earning more benefits have lost even more, and the chain of interests they vacated seems to have an opportunity!
Realizing this, both Victoria and Erikson were in the spotlight, and it seemed that the reshuffle of the Russian regime was really a good thing?
At that time, Victoria asked impatiently: "Are you saying that we can use this to change and replace the original giants?" β
Li Xiaofeng suddenly sneered: "You are too naΓ―ve, why should you take their place?" β
"Isn't it you?" Victoria danced and said, "Maxim said, you are in a very high position in the Bolsheviks, and you can definitely help us!" β
Li Xiaofeng sneered again: "I said, you are too naΓ―ve." This great reshuffle will create an unprecedented Russia, and the new order will be unprecedented. You also expect to make a profit in Russia with the same old ways as looking for death. Even I can't! β
Victoria was immediately deflated, "Then what's the use of saying this?" Shake us? β
Li Xiaofeng sighed, it was hard to talk to people who were not politically wise enough, "I mean, with me, we can use a workaround to make huge profits in Russia!" β
"How can I be flexible?" Erikson asked impatiently.
Li Xiaofeng decided to sell a pass, and telling them all the plans at this time was not a correct choice, which would cause a lot of unexpected trouble. The most appropriate way to do this is to say half and leave half.
Moreover, Li Xiaofeng also wants to tie these two families to his chariot, and he needs some means to restrain them, after all, as long as Ambrera and Nokia are put into production, the means he can use to restrain them will basically disappear. In order to avoid being forced into the palace again as today, the only way to do this is to firmly trap them, and their family's property in Russia is the best noose.
"It's not about how to be flexible!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "That's my job." What you need to care about is investment! β
"Investment?" Victoria and Erikson asked, confused, "Invest in whom?" β
"Invest in the Bolsheviks, of course? Do you think there's going to be pie in the sky? Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically exaggeratedly.
"You're not fooling us, are you?" Victoria asked weakly.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you to invest or not! But the ugly thing is that it was only a matter of time before the Bolsheviks took control of the country. When we take power, even if you want to invest, the results will not be so good. Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly and asked, "To be honest, it's a little late for you to invest now...... How to maximize the benefits, you don't need me as a layman to tell you, right? β
After speaking, Li Xiaofeng no longer paid attention to Victoria and Erickson, who were stunned on the spot, and left on his own, before going out, he suddenly reminded again: "You have to make up your mind as soon as possible, and send you an extra piece of news, the Bolsheviks will confiscate all the property of the capitalists, and even if you want to invest, I am afraid that you will have no money!" β
Li Xiaofeng shook his hand and walked away in a dashing manner, he believed that with the wisdom of those two, he should know what choice Lu Dao made. You ask, will they transfer the property, to be honest, it is very likely, but Li Xiaofeng is not worried.
Needless to say, the Nobel family, the most valuable is the oil fields and refineries, it is impossible at all, and the most valuable industry of the Victorian family is the chain of reselling grain, and it is not a fart without Russia. At most, they can transfer some cash or jewelry, and it is too difficult for real estate to sell.
What's more, Li Xiaofeng had too little time left for them, and with the mentor about to return to Petrograd from Razlev to lead the armed uprising, they had no more choice at all. (To be continued.) )
