Chapter 102: Never be arrogant in front of Zhou Ming

'Zhou Ming, where are we going now?'

After leaving Eugene's place and getting back in the car, Su Han couldn't help but worry as she thought back to her conversation with Eugene.

Zhou Ming's response was very simple: 'Eugene is so arrogant, of course we need to find someone to get rid of him.'

Su Han was a little surprised by this, because from Zhang Hui's side and his attitude all along, she understood that this Eugene was a tiger entrenched in Siberia. Although this person was arrogant and spoke harshly, it was true that he was the master of Siberia. They had no roots in northern Russia at all, so how could they really get rid of him just by saying so?

It is possible to send a special forces soldier like ** to assassinate him, but the assassination of a man of Yujin's status by soldiers of another country could easily lead to disputes.

Then they can only use means to pull him down from his current position. But is this possible?

If someone else had said this to Su Han, she would have certainly sneered at them, but now it was Zhou Ming who was saying it, and Su Han had always relied on and trusted Zhou Ming, so she would choose to believe him.

The car sped all the way back to Hotel No. 1. At the entrance, they saw someone waiting there. That person was known to Zhou Ming, Katerina, and the driver and bodyguard**. He was Irbedov's assistant. He saw Zhou Ming get out of the car and immediately came over to greet them. He led Zhou Ming and the others into the lobby, because Irbedov was waiting for them here.

This surprised Du Peng and Su Han, because they all knew that this Irbedov was the richest man in Northern Russia. That he could wait for Zhou Ming here in the lobby instead of going up to the coffee shop first, or simply asking Zhou Ming to visit him at home like Yugins, was a great honour, which completely put their minds at ease and made them believe that they could really deal with Yugins.

Ilbedov saw Zhou Ming enter and immediately got up to greet him, then introduced the people around him and said, 'Hello, Mr. Zhou Ming, this is my good friend Sergeyevsky, whom you should have met before. He has made considerable achievements in the petrochemical industry, so when I heard that you had a big business deal this time, I brought him along.'

'I do remember,' Zhou Ming said, also greeting Sergeyevsky, and introduced Du Peng and Su Han to them. After they had exchanged greetings, he said, 'I'm sorry I'm a little late, I've kept you waiting, please forgive me.'

Ilbedov and Sergeyevsky both waved their hands to say it was fine, and then Zhou Ming took them upstairs to a private room in the café. They sat down and waited for the waiter to bring the coffee. Ilbedov couldn't wait and asked, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you said you had some news about the Siberian Oil Company, right?'

Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'That's right. I believe there is a guy named Eugene over there. You all know him, right?'

'He is the chairman of the board of directors of the Siberian Bank and Oil Company,' Sergeyevsky replied. Ming could see from his puzzled expression that he wanted to say something else, but in the end he held back.

Zhou Ming also did not beat around the bush and told them directly, 'This guy has annoyed me, so I have decided to get rid of him. I wonder if you have any ideas?'

Ilbedov and Sergeyevsky froze when they heard this. This possibility had actually crossed their minds when they were on their way here, but since Zhou Ming was so far away from Siberia, there was no reason for him to have any conflicts there, so they had not paid much attention to it. Who knew that it was really this, which made them feel extremely surprised.

They looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes. In the end, Sergeyevsky said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, are you serious?'

'I don't think I have the time to joke with you,' Zhou Ming said.

'But forgive me for being presumptuous, Mr. Zhou Ming, I completely don't understand why you would do this,' Irbedov said.

Zhou Ming smiled and said to him, 'Mr. Il'bedov, if I were you, I would never ask this question, because firstly, this question is not important, secondly, I have been a long-term partner with you, and I would not harm you, and last but not least, you really want to take control of the Siberian Oil Company into your own hands, and my participation will make this very easy.'

Faced with the answer given by Zhou Ming, Il'bedov and Sergeevsky were stunned. They looked at each other and engaged in an intense battle of ideas.

In contrast, Zhou Ming was much more at ease. He just sat there leisurely, took a sip of coffee, and didn't seem to worry about their thoughts at all, or he was already sure of their thoughts.

Eventually, as expected, after half a day of eye-rolling, Sergeyevsky said, 'Indeed, Mr. Zhou Ming is extremely wise. No matter what, if you can get help from Mr. Zhou Ming, you can get twice the result with half the effort. I just don't know how you plan to deal with it?'

Zhou Ming put down his cup and said, 'Mr. Sergeyevsky, we are in a cooperative relationship. Personally, I am not that interested in the oil company, but if you insist on doing this, I don't think I will refuse.'

Sergeyevsky's face froze at this, and he obviously heard the meaning behind Zhou Ming's words. It was nothing more than that if he interfered too much, then he would inevitably have to take control of the oil company's shares, but this was not what Sergeyevsky was willing to see. So he had to say, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I am already very grateful that you can come and help me. I have actually already figured out a way for Siberia.'

Zhou Ming asked with a sigh, 'Is that so? Then can Mr Sergeyevsky please tell me? Let me see if I can help.'

Sergeyevsky hesitated for a moment before saying, 'Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just secretly contacted other members of the Vladimir family. In fact, many people are very dissatisfied with Yugens as the chairman, and I think I can take advantage of this a little.'

'Banks and oil companies are two interdependent industries under Yugens. The method that Mr. Ilbedov and I discussed is to start with the Siberian Bank. Mr. Ilbedov will use a bank run to undermine the credibility of the Siberian Bank. In order to save the bank, Yugens will definitely have to sell the shares of the oil company. At that time, I can work with the Vladimir family to acquire the entire oil company.'

Sergeyevsky said to Zhou Ming, at first he was careful when he was talking, looking at Zhou Ming's expression while talking, but towards the end he became bolder.

Zhou Ming nodded after listening and said, 'This is a very good method, but I heard that the Siberian Bank has already been listed in London. Perhaps we can also do something with the bank's stock, and it may collapse faster. And on this point, I think I can still be of some help.'

Zhou Ming's casual remark exploded in Sergeyevsky's ears, making him clap his hands in joy and exclaim, 'That's great! Mr Zhou Ming, you are indeed a very wise man!'

Zhou Ming smiled, waved his hand modestly, and then said, 'But I only have one request, and that is, I hope that Mr. Sergeyevsky can settle things in Siberia as soon as possible, because I still have a train waiting to depart from the country and come to Krisko.'

Irbeldov and Sergeyevsky were stunned again when they heard this. Irbeldov asked carefully, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you want to deal with Yugins, is it because he is not letting your train cross the border?'

'That's not it,' said Zhou Ming, and this answer made Irbedov and Sergeyevsky about to let out a sigh of relief, but then they heard Zhou Ming continue, 'It's just that the border crossing procedures on the northern Russian side are more troublesome right now, especially when crossing Siberia. I asked Yugins for help, but he refused, and I don't have much time to play with him right now, so I had to ask him to leave and replace him with someone who is willing to help.'

Il'yadov and Sergeyevsky both let out a gasp. They had originally thought that Yujin had annoyed Zhou Ming by not letting his train cross the border, but now they realised that he had only given him a hard time when Zhou Ming asked him for help, and Zhou Ming was going to get rid of him.

This...is a bit overbearing, isn't it?

They both thought of this sentence at the same time, but after careful consideration, neither could say it. In addition, they also thought of what would happen if they didn't help today.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not believe that in this place in Northern Russia, a foreigner could do anything to them, but this person is Zhou Ming, so it is hard to say. I think that at the beginning, Yujins also felt that Zhou Ming could not do anything to him, so he showed off in front of Zhou Ming, and now Zhou Ming has decided to get rid of him?

So you can't be too arrogant, especially not in front of Zhou Ming.

Ilbedov and Sergeevsky silently wrote down this sentence in their hearts together. At this time, Zhou Ming said again, 'Do you two have anything else to say? If not, please go back and get ready first. I will be short on time, so I'm counting on you.'

Ilbedov and Sergeevsky hurriedly stood up and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming is too kind. This is also helping ourselves. We will do what Mr. Zhou Ming has asked as soon as possible when we go back.'

After they finished speaking, Ilbedov and Sergeevsky left the coffee shop. After they left, Du Peng happily said to Zhou Ming, 'Zhou Ming, you are still so awesome in Northern Russia? These two Northern Russians are afraid of you to the bone!'

Su Han also looked at Zhou Ming with great admiration, because this was her man; Kareina was full of pride.

However, in an atmosphere of friendship, there are always those who come and cause trouble. At this time, Zhou Ming's phone suddenly rang. Zhou Ming answered, and Yujin's voice came: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, in view of our one-sided relationship, I have decided to tell you some unfortunate news. Your Cherv Market is really booming today! It's just that your booming business doesn't know how long it can last.'
