Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1171: It Turns Out to Be Friendly Forces

People who are familiar with Judy know that she is a person who loves beauty very much. Even at an old age, she often dresses like a girl. Whenever she goes out, she must make up carefully. For example, she will never wear a dress for attending a banquet a second time.

If a person loves beauty so much that his face is swollen like a pig's head but he still shows up in public, then he must have something he cannot get over.

"No! Don't let him go!"

Kryuchkov stood up from behind the mahogany table, looked at the woman who had come to him to accuse him, and said calmly, "Ms. Tracy, I hope you are aware of your identity. You are not qualified to give me orders."

Judy was furious. She pointed at her right cheek and said angrily, "Look at what he has done!"

"According to Soviet law, we will give him a verbal warning and impose a fine of 200 rubles. In addition, he will bear all your medical expenses." Kryuchkov said seriously.

Judy almost exploded with rage.

Verbal warning?

Two hundred rubles?

Medical bills?
She lost two back teeth!
No one had ever dared to beat her like this, including her brothers, and she had never suffered such a beating.

"Don't forget, you need me now. I am your VIP!"

Kryuchkov nodded, indicating that he fully understood the situation, and then said with a serious expression: "Madam, I hope you can think from our perspective. Now that the news of his arrest has been reported in the news, he is not a small figure. The whole world is watching. I am afraid that calls from China and Hong Kong have come in. We will not disclose your VIP status. You are a foreign guest, and he is also a foreign guest. One foreign guest slapped another foreign guest. Do you know that under normal circumstances, we would turn a blind eye and pretend that we didn't see it? Now we have not only arrested him, but also punished him. What else do you want us to do?"

Judy understood the truth, but she couldn't bear to see this. So she walked to Kryuchkov and said in a low voice, "You have plenty of means. His country doesn't dare to cause trouble for you. At most, they will condemn you. You can find a way to help me kill him. You can name your price."

Kryuchkov smiled ironically.

Judy frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Kryuchkov asked: "Do you have any money like him?"

"you!"

"Madam, it's not as simple as you think. You won't doubt my intelligence ability, right? His status in his country, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia is much higher than you think. These are all our neighbors. The Soviet Union is now in a deep economic crisis, especially with a shortage of supplies. We have to rely on these neighbors to provide us with cheaper goods than you do in Europe and America. At this critical juncture, no matter how greedy I am, I will not ignore the fate of my country. Besides, you should know that he is still our business partner. The oil business is not doing well now, and there are not many external customers willing to import our oil."

Judy knew she couldn't persuade him, so she stopped wasting time and didn't want to miss this good opportunity to make Jack Lee a prisoner. She took two steps back and said, "Someone will call you. Before that, you are not allowed to let him go!"

"Anyone who gives you the order must be a fool," Kryuchkov said sarcastically. "I won't keep him for long, and there's no reason to do so."

Judy snorted coldly and left quickly.

Kryuchkov received two calls indeed. There were only a few people who could give him orders. However, neither of these two calls gave him orders directly, but they first asked about the whole story. He still faced Judy's words and explained the interests involved.

Then, Li Jiankun walked out of the small dark room.

On the first floor of the Security Bureau building, when Li Jiankun walked out of the hall under the escort of special agents, he saw Liu Jingyan, Fugui and Popov who came to pick him up.

Li Jiankun slowly walked down the stairs and met the three people in the small square outside the building. Liu Jingyan was about to say something when Li Jiankun held her waist and gently pushed her away.

Liu Jingyan: “???”

Fugui and Popov guarded him on the left and right as they walked towards the black Volga sedan parked at the curb.

"Go slowly, one step at a time."

Li Jiankun said this in a low voice, both in Chinese and English.

Fugui and Popov didn't understand why, but they did as they were told.

boom!
At a very close distance in front of the three people's toes, a wisp of dust rose up, a crater appeared on a bluestone brick, and the rest of the area was cracked.

Fugui and Popov immediately moved to the middle to protect each other. One of them grabbed Li Jiankun's arm and quickly retreated towards the gate of the Security Bureau.

During this process, Li Jiankun looked through the gap at the dumbfounded Liu Jingyan and shouted, "Run! Run! Run back!"

Liu Jingyan suddenly realized and almost burst out laughing, but she turned around and ran as fast as she could in her high heels.

The special agents who escorted Li Jiankun out had not yet left the gate when the two men flew into a rage. They shouted through the intercom, drew their guns, rushed down the stairs, and assisted Fugui and Popov in escorting Li Jiankun into the building.

Soon, a large number of agents appeared in the lobby on the first floor and filed out of the door.

Shooting and killing people in front of the Security Bureau?
It's a big deal!
There was a lot of noise, and soon Kryuchkov showed up. After asking about the situation and learning that there were no casualties, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said to Li Jiankun in a serious tone:
"Mr. Li, we are still not sure who wants to attack you, but if something happens to you here, it will definitely be a big headache. So for your safety, I have to arrange for special agents to protect you 24 hours a day."

Li Jiankun nodded with cold sweat on his forehead and asked tentatively: "Can you protect me in secret?"

This look is not fake. A sniper bullet exploded in front of the toes. Who would have known? All the hairs on my body stood up.

Kryuchkov said sternly: "Try your best."

So on the way back, there was a Lada car in front and behind the black Volga sedan.

In the Volga car, Popov was driving and Fugui was sitting in the passenger seat. Popov looked at Fugui and said, "He is indeed a great man."

Fugui curled his lips, "I don't understand your bird language."

In the back row, Liu Jingyan tilted her head, touched Li Jiankun's shoulder, and asked, "A deal?"

Li Jiankun shook his head, "Not all of them."

----

In an apartment building in downtown Moscow.

The servant opened the door and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in. After the servant closed the door and left, the man looked at Judy, who was sitting on the soft Simmons bed with half of her face wrapped in gauze, and frowned and said, "Assassinating Jack Lee at the gate of the Security Bureau is a really stupid idea."

Judy rolled her eyes and said, "Not me."

The man was surprised, "Who is that?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask? But I really want to meet this ruthless man. He is definitely qualified to be my guest of honor."

Judy was in a very happy mood when she thought about how embarrassed and scared Jack Lee must have been at that time. It was a pity that the idea of ​​assassinating him at the door of the Security Bureau was not very smart and failed, otherwise she should have raised a toast to celebrate.

Judy had a playful expression on her face. "That bastard was extremely arrogant. You know what happened in Southeast Asia. He even wanted to stuff me into a bag and kidnap me. I'm not surprised that he has some enemies. I just hope that this hero who is more impatient than me to kill him can contact me as soon as possible. Alas, I am a woman after all."

Judy lay lazily on the bed, looking at the man lovingly.

Normally, the man wouldn't mind riding her once. She was a little old, but fortunately she was well maintained. After all, she was a woman from that family, so she was still somewhat attractive. However, he really couldn't accept her current appearance, so he turned a blind eye and reminded her:
"I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself. Now he is protected by the KGB. If the assassination fails and he is caught, it will be difficult for you to report to the family."

Judy raised her eyebrows, punched the bed, and said, "That's why I hope the assassin will find me as soon as possible and let him do the dirty work. Anyway, he has already done it, and I can give him money and beautiful women."

"You're just going to die. I know I can't persuade you, but you'd better distance yourself from it."

The man did not continue the topic and asked seriously, "What do you think is Jack Lee's purpose in suddenly appearing in the Soviet Union? Is it just for you?"

"Should I feel honored?"

Judy snorted coldly and said, "We'll know if we try. If he's here for the cocktail party later, he'll still be eligible to get an invitation. Some people in the Soviet Union are obviously wary of us. Where can we find such a good consultant?"

There was deep worry in the man's eyes, "I hope this kid won't ruin our business."

"Haha, I think so." Judy gloated.

She already had more than enough money to spend. Rather than making money, she hoped that all forces would agree with her goal and kill Jack Lee at all costs.

----

Ever since Liu Jingyan came over, Su Wa always seemed nervous whenever she came into contact with Li Jiankun.

Just now, Li Jiankun and Liu Jingyan were chatting in the living room. Su Wa took a white envelope, walked around Liu Jingyan, came to Li Jiankun, about one meter away, bent down, and presented her hands to him.

Li Jiankun laughed dumbly, "How many times have I told you not to be afraid of her? She is not my wife, and I don't have any improper relationship with her."

Liu Jingyan stared at Su Wa and asked with a smile: "You are so afraid of me, is it because of you two?"

Suwa was so frightened that sweat broke out on her forehead and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Even though the boss said this, she still felt that there must be something between him and Miss Liu. The boss could go to Miss Liu's bedroom without knocking, and Miss Liu could lean on his shoulder when she had nothing to do. Could this be a normal relationship between a man and a woman?
Miss Liu was very beautiful, and she had a temperament that made Su Wa feel ashamed of herself. Occasionally, a cold light would appear in her eyes, so yes, Su Wa was very afraid.

Liu Jingyan said quietly: "I hope you two can tell the truth." Su Wa was silent.

Li Jiankun didn't dare to continue the topic, and said with a smile: "I am a married man, don't hurt me."

Then he closed his ears and opened the envelope in his hand.

Inside was an invitation letter written in English. Li Jiankun read it with a playful expression.

Liu Jingyan moved her hips and said with a smile: "You need a female companion."

Li Jiankun glanced at her and said, "Then I won't take you with me."

"..."

"You don't speak Russian, this party is not serious, I have serious business to attend to there."

Li Jiankun turned his head to look at Su Wa and said with a smile, "Get ready and come with me to a cocktail party. Oh, and by the way, let her give you some advice. High-class cocktail parties are commonplace for her."

Liu Jingyan looked resentful.

Suwa was sweating profusely.

A few days later, in the evening.

It was the first time that the small town girl Suva entered the Kremlin. She was wearing a well-ironed black evening gown that perfectly showed off her miraculous figure. Even Li Jiankun did not expect that she had such a good figure. Generally speaking, girls who are too tall tend to have flat figures, but she was not. Her front and back were spectacular.

It feels like I've found a treasure.

We don’t want anything, but it’s just a feast for the eyes, right?
The girl was also wearing a set of sapphire accessories worth a million dollars. She shone brightly under the lights of the reception hall and her beauty was beyond compare.

She walked into the venue holding Li Jiankun's arm.

They seemed like a perfect match and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Only Li Jiankun noticed that the girl's red lips were moving slightly, as if she was preparing herself mentally.

It was indeed a bit difficult for her to bring her to such a big occasion for the first time.

Someone came forward and the girl put down her hands, ready to translate. Li Jiankun told her that this person didn't need it and reached out to hold her slender waist from behind. This action made Suwa's whole body tense, but she was instantly wrapped in a huge sense of security.

"Mr. Li? I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm still surprised."

It was like an encounter between a wolf and a hyena, Suwa thought. If the boss had not told her some things on the way here, she would have really believed the encounter.

Li Jiankun's friendliness made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and they came up to say hello.

Some I knew, some I didn't. This group was all European and American, mainly from Wall Street. The rest at the party were Soviets, definitely high-level people.

At the reception, there was a banner that was very common in socialist countries. It read "Economic Reform Exchange Evening" in both Russian and English.

Li Jiankun looked around the scene but didn't see Judy. He thought she was too embarrassed to face people. Then he saw a group of Soviet people walking towards him, so he said goodbye to these so-called Western economic experts in a friendly manner and walked over to greet them.

Su Wa finally found something to do. She looked at the people opposite her in awe, while whispering sweet words in Li Jiankun's ear.

After some pleasantries, a senior Soviet official in charge of economy said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Li has been here for a while. I believe he is familiar with the new round of economic reforms we are carrying out. What do you think about opening up the financial market?"

Li Jiankun was still fine, but the group of Westerners who were watching were all so nervous that some even prayed in their hearts.

In terms of official titles, each of them has more than Jack Lee, who seems to have none.

But if we talk about popularity and impressive performance in the financial market, none of them can compare to them.

He is a master of finance and has never been defeated. He is the only one in the world who can compete with him?

So now many people in the financial industry take his words as golden rules.

The portion is not ordinary heavy.

It is difficult to predict whether the Soviet side will hesitate or even worsen the decision to open the financial market because of his opinion.

Then all their efforts for so long would be in vain.

Li Jiankun smiled back and said slowly, "If a country wants to achieve long-term economic development, it is definitely not advisable to close the country. After all, even if the internal economy is driven to the peak, it is only a regional economy, while the rest of the world is the rest. It would be a pity to give up. Therefore, opening up the financial market is the inevitable way to pursue long-term economic development."

Although no one showed excitement, a group of Westerners were ecstatic inside.

They are friends, not enemies!
It seems that Jack Lee also wants to get a piece of the pie.

This is easy to say. The Soviet Union has a strong enough foundation, as long as it doesn't do anything bad.

The senior executive asked, "But our national conditions are very different from those in the West. Once the financial market is liberalized, won't it cause adverse effects?"

Li Jiankun nodded and said, "This is a mature and prudent statement. It will definitely have an impact. In my country, there is a saying that 'reform is always accompanied by pain'. It is inevitable. In fact, my country is also trying to open up the financial market, and the pace is faster than yours. The Shanghai Stock Exchange has been put into operation, and the second Shenzhen Stock Exchange will be put into use next year. If you ask for my opinion, I can only say that this is the general trend."

Li Jiankun said these words without blushing or feeling nervous.

Because it was all true, and he really thought so in his heart.

But there is one thing he didn't say: some reforms, if you can survive them, will lead to a new life; if you can't, the consequences will be disastrous.

It's no use saying it.

He was not conceited enough to resolve the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A group of Westerners around them almost clapped their hands with joy. Just looking at the expressions of those Soviet people, they knew that even after half a year of hard work, they were still no match for Jack Lee's confident words and sincere expressions.

I have to get it!

What friendly forces!

After a group of Soviet high-ranking officials temporarily left to discuss Jack Lee's remarks, a group of Westerners came up again to toast him, and their enthusiasm was many times higher than before, and their smiles were even more sincere.

The smile on Li Jiankun's face was no less than theirs.

The group of people got along well with each other, chatting and laughing, drinking and chatting happily, the only thing missing was arm in arm and calling each other brothers.

It is foreseeable that when the news here reaches Judy's ears, the expression on her face will be very interesting.

"What do you think?"

In an inconspicuous place in the hall, a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a dark red birthmark on his head tilted his head slightly.

Kryuchkov, who was standing behind him, was slightly startled. He didn't expect that he would consult his opinion on matters involving economics.

Fortunately, the former added: "I mean the relationship between Jack Lee and them."

Kryuchkov suddenly realized that if it was a matter of intelligence, he would naturally have the most say.

"An enemy, not a friend."

Kryuchkov first gave a decisive conclusion, and then explained seriously: "There was a chip war earlier, and Jack Lee caused the United States to suffer a great loss. In order to prevent retaliation, Jack Lee mortgaged all its assets in the United States to the bank early on. And in Southeast Asia, Jack Lee and Western capital are now fighting fiercely for the right to operate oil and gas resources."

The man standing in front seemed to be asking a question, or perhaps talking to himself: "So, opening up the financial market is imperative?"

Kryuchkov remained silent and made no comment on the matter.

The former didn't care, turned around and looked at him, "Do you think that if we invite Jack Lee to attend some financial meetings later, we can verify each other. Will he agree?"

Kryuchkov hesitated and said, "You can try to invite him. This person is not difficult to deal with."

"You released him yourself and arranged for special protection for him, so you are doing him a favor. Go and do this."

"Yes."
