Chapter 112: The division starts here

'What? Brother Zhou Ming, are you saying that Mr. Meta has really agreed to cooperate with you and split the profits with you?'

Tong Gang said in great surprise, so much so that he even stood up, staring at Zhou Ming with eyes full of disbelief. 

They were still in that villa, and next to it was still the oak tree that had witnessed Zhou Ming's miracle. Li Cheng saw Tong Gang like this, so he pulled him to sit down first and said, 'Chairman Tong, don't be so surprised. Let's first listen to little brother Zhou Ming tell us in detail what's going on.'

Hearing Li Cheng say this, Tong Gang also reacted and realised that he had really been a bit rude. However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the way he had behaved. After all, this was something that was a bit too unbelievable.

At the moment, they were still in that villa, and the oak tree next to it was the only witness to the conversation between Zhou Ming and Mr. Mata. Zhou Ming sent Mr. Mata off after their conversation and then notified Li Cheng and Tong Gang to come over. However, this villa was not theirs either, but was borrowed temporarily from Irbedorf for the purpose of dealing with today's conversation with Mata.

You have to understand that Mr. Mata cannot always meet in the hotel café. He always has to choose a more solemn setting, especially when discussing such an important matter.

Tong Gang was pulled down by Li Cheng and sat down. He heaved a sigh, and could clearly hear his own excited heartbeat. Tong Gang could not suppress his own excitement either. He knew that Li Cheng was no less excited than he was, because he could see Li Cheng's clenched fists.

How could they not be excited? Wealthy beyond compare, these are four words from a book, but not everyone can achieve it. Or so to speak, there are many people in the world who can be called wealthy, but very few can truly achieve these four words. Now they have the opportunity to take over half of the assets of a superpower, a wealth of 10 trillion US dollars, even if the assets of the entire Hong Kong city were added together, it would still not be this amount. How could this not make them excited?

Of course, they also understand that this 10 trillion can only be a general figure, and it will not and is unlikely to actually go to them. Even more wealth exists in the form of oil fields, gold mines, bonds, and other forms. But even so, they can easily rival the richest man in the world.

With so much wealth, as long as they are not people with no desires, they will want it very much. Even the richest man in the world is unlikely to refuse the opportunity to double his wealth, otherwise the Western countries would not have supported Mata in this Dota plan. But it is precisely for this reason that it is even more incredible that Mata would just nod and let it go.

Facing the doubts of Li Cheng and Tong Gang, Zhou Ming had to simply repeat what he had just said to persuade Mata.

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Li Cheng and Tong Gang were completely dumbfounded, like two wax figures. But this is not because Zhou Ming's words were so unexpected. In fact, Zhou Ming had already shared this persuasion method with them before, but they still couldn't accept it.

Could it be that simply telling the story of a bird that has flown its course and a good bow that is put away will make someone give you ten trillion? Even if this story were from later generations, it would be criticized if written down.

If it were a silly big guy, Li Cheng and Tong Gang would find it a little more acceptable, but Meta, the highest person in charge of the Dota project and the financial elite of the United States, they just couldn't believe it.

'In fact, this is nothing to be surprised about. If it were an ordinary person, I would not be confident at all. Even for Mr. David, whose pride is stronger than the sky, I am not at all confident. It is because he is Mr. Mata that he will think of a lot of things, and he is more pragmatic than others, which is why I was able to convince him,' Zhou Ming explained.

Tong Gang shook his head slightly, still with an expression of some difficulty in accepting it on his face. He said to Zhou Ming, 'Little brother Zhou Ming, I understand your ability to persuade people, and I am willing to believe in this ability of yours, but don't you think that the information that Mr. Meta told you is not reliable in itself? 5 billion US dollars to buy 140 billion new rubles, I think unless the officials of the North Russian government have collectively gone mad, otherwise this is simply a charitable deal.'

Li Cheng also strongly agreed with Tong Gang's analysis, while Zhou Ming could only bitterly laugh to himself, because if he didn't have the memories of the future, and if he didn't clearly remember that he had looked up information about the Dota Project, he wouldn't believe it either.

5 billion to buy 140 billion. Apart from anything else, just looking at these two numbers alone is a world of difference. You have to understand that these are not the old rubles that had previously been devalued like crazy, but the new rubles issued by the North Russian government in order to salvage the domestic economy. Although this new ruble cannot achieve the same strong international exchange rate as the previous ruble, it is also impossible for the exchange rate with the US dollar to reach 200 to 1.

According to the current exchange rate of the new ruble to the US dollar, once this deal is concluded, Meta will have completed a transaction with a profit of several dozen times.

There is no other explanation for the Northern Russian government making such a losing deal than that they have collectively lost their minds.

Zhou Ming fully understands Li Cheng and Tong Gang's suspicions, because even those people in the future who are wise after the event, in the face of the facts that have already occurred, still do not believe it and desperately say that it is impossible.

'Chairman Tong and Chairman Li, what you are saying is the general situation, but the situation in Northern Russia is not the same as usual. Because their predecessor was the Soviet Union, to put it more directly, the leaders of the current Northern Russian central government are selling the assets of the former superpower to ensure the normal operation of their new Northern Russian government, so they will not feel bad about it.'

Zhou Ming continued, 'Publicly speaking, North Russia abolished the old ruble and issued a new one. But now, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the finances of the new North Russian government are in a mess. If he wants to maintain the exchange rate of the new ruble, he must have sufficient foreign exchange. This deal is necessary.'

Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing, 'Privately speaking, the North Russian leaders who facilitated this deal will also receive considerable benefits.'

After listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, Li Cheng and Tong Gang glanced at each other. They still only saw surprise in each other's eyes, but this was not a lack of trust in Zhou Ming. In fact, Zhou Ming's argument was very logical. The previous disintegration of the Soviet Union had a great phenomenon of **, which was why there was the rise of these rich people like Irbeldov. Now, from the Soviet Union to Northern Russia, the names have changed, but the people inside are still the same. So it is no surprise that there is such a situation, not to mention the many years of infiltration by Western countries in Northern Russia, which has also accumulated.

But these are just logical arguments, and in reality, this kind of low-intelligence approach is still unacceptable.

Facing Li Cheng and Tong Gang's suspicious stares, Zhou Ming had to spread his hands: 'Chairman Tong, Li Dong, fortune and danger are sought in risk. We have no advantage at all in coming to Krisko to face the Dota Project. Now that we have this news, what we have to think about is how to use this news to fight for more benefits for ourselves, not to hesitate here.'

Zhou Ming added, 'The Dota Project has infiltrated the central government of Northern Russia. We still have friends here, don't we? I'm sure these local snakes like Irbedov will be very interested too. What do you think?'

Li Cheng and Tong Gang exchanged glances, and finally Tong Gang said to Zhou Ming, 'Indeed, if we are afraid of the wolf in front of us and the tiger behind us, we should not have come to Northern Russia. Now that we are here, we must seize every opportunity!'

'Thank you very much Chairman Tong and President Li for your trust. Your trust is the right choice!'

Zhou Ming let out a long sigh of relief in his heart as he spoke, because his biggest worry was that Li Cheng and Tong Gang would doubt him and cause them to miss this opportunity. But now they have chosen to believe and support him, so that's good.

The division of the 10 trillion from the Dota Project will begin here!

...

This was Zhou Ming's plan, but at the same time, on the other side, Meta, who had already left the villa, also thought this sentence in his heart. Compared to Zhou Ming, his sentence was a question mark.

I can give away ten trillion, but you have to be brave to take it, or your partners will have to be brave to believe in it. Otherwise, just by yourself, no matter how brave you are and how clear-headed you are, without capital, everything is useless.

Meta sat in the car and looked out the window, a smile on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly felt full of anticipation for his cooperation with Zhou Ming.

David saw Mata's smile and was very surprised. But he didn't want to ask directly, so he said, 'Mr. Mata, please forgive me for speaking out of turn, but I think this Chinese Zhou Ming is a very unscrupulous person. What we need to do is to use the resources we have to constantly divide and oppress his partners, and drive such unstable factors out of Northern Russia!'

Meita gave him a sideways glance: 'I think you're the one who's obsessed with this Chinese Zhou Ming. Since you say he's a scoundrel, shouldn't we be more open-minded?'

David was surprised: "Open-minded? Mr. Meita, I don't understand what you mean. Do we have to accept such a scoundrel?'

'Why not?" Meita asked calmly. 'Don't you think it's precisely because of the presence of these Chinese that the situation in Krisco has become more interesting?'

'I'm sorry, Mr. Mata, but I don't think so,' Davier said, shaking his head. "I'm deeply worried instead.'

Mata laughed and patted Davier on the shoulder: "That means you're not confident enough, my man. Or do you think these Chinese can take away the wealth that belongs to us? Like this 140 billion deal we have with the North Russian government?'

'I don't think so, but I don't want to see these damn Chinese here anymore!' Davier said with clenched teeth.

Maita laughed heartily: 'In that case, you can go to church and pray every day starting tomorrow, and maybe God will help you destroy those damn heathens.'
