Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

Being slightly tipsy is when you feel the best.

Only Niu Dazhuang possesses extraordinary talent; anyone slightly weaker would be easily exploited. This is just the appetizer; much bigger scenes await Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang showed no mercy to foreign women; he was simply ruthless...

Yusupova liked the wild style of Niu Dazhuang. She was quite satisfied.

"Big Brother, I know a bit about your country. Even though you're very rich now, you certainly won't be living the life of the elite. Why don't you stay?" Yusupova extended a sincere invitation once again.

"Big Boobs, I didn't agree more than ten years ago, and it's even more impossible now. What have you thought about what I just told you?"

"It's difficult. The banks and our planning commission don't have much interaction. If the policy changes in the future, like what you did in China, and allows the private sector, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Let's think about it another way. If we register a company in Europe and invest in your country, wouldn't we be able to get a bank loan?"

"Why are you always thinking about taking out loans in our country? Don't you have a lot of US dollars? If you want to invest and build factories in our country, you can exchange US dollars for rubles. We are short of foreign exchange right now."

Niu Dazhuang didn't answer her question directly: "You know, in the past few years of reform and opening up in China, the domestic economy has changed every year. When the former big brother sees this, won't he be moved? In addition, your upper class still yearns for Europe."

"Da Niu, just say what you want to say. No need to beat around the bush."

"I think your country also needs reforms, within the next two years."

Yusupova paused for a moment, then continued...

"That's somewhat the direction, but it shouldn't affect me."

"Don't you think this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune? If we handle it well, I'll buy you a 500-acre vineyard in southern France."

Although the Warsaw Pact and NATO are still in a state of confrontation, most of the children of high-ranking Russian officials have businesses in Europe, especially in East Germany.

The Yusupova family also has businesses in Europe; as I said before, those are family assets.

After a silence of more than ten minutes, Yusupova got up and went to the bathroom, where she showered again, sprayed on imported perfume, wrapped herself in a white bath towel, and came out.

It's not that they're particularly clean or enjoy taking baths; it's just that if they don't bathe after sweating, the smell is too pungent for them to bear.

"Do you stand by what you just said?"

"Of course it counts. Whatever other industries you like, I can help you get some in Europe."

"If you're really capable, here's what we do: I have a good relationship with a director in the foreign trade department. We can partner up to sell some energy products. It'll definitely be more profitable and faster than dealing in light industrial products."

Currently, Russia's main sources of foreign exchange earnings are the military industry and the energy industry.

Niu Dazhuang is focused on bringing goods back to China; he has no intention of building a factory in Europe.

"Ah, if only a large oil field or natural gas field were discovered in the Far East."

"Did you hear something?" Yusupova was now on the ground, and her slightly tipsy state had dissipated after she broke out in a sweat; her intelligence had returned.

Niu Dazhuang spread his hands: "What news? Has a large oil field really been discovered in the Far East?"

Yusupova moved closer, staring at Niu Dazhuang with her two blue eyes for ten seconds. Niu Dazhuang didn't back down and met her gaze.

"I believe you. It's a long story, but to put it simply, we did discover a large oil and gas field in the eastern waters of Sakhalin Island in cooperation with the Japanese. However, due to disagreements with the Japanese, it has been shelved and remains only on paper; not a single well has been drilled yet."

Niu Dazhuang perked up and sat up excitedly, not hiding his joy. He could both intercept the Japanese and make money; it couldn't be better.

"How much are the reserves? How much initial investment did the Japanese, or rather the Japanese, make? Is it possible for me to secure the oil field's extraction rights?"

"As for reserves, there are 170 million tons of oil and over 80 billion cubic meters of natural gas, but I don't remember the exact figures. Don't get too excited yet; under the current policies, you won't get mining rights, let alone buy ownership."

"Let's try a different approach. I'll invest in the initial phase, and once the oil is extracted, you can use the oil to repay my initial investment. The extraction rights and ownership of the oil field will still be in your hands. Does that make sense?"

"No problem, but you can't use your domestic identity."

"I know that. Tomorrow, find me a place where I can make international calls. I'll put in a word with the Hong Kong company and register an energy company right away."

"Your appetite is bigger than I expected, but I like it. This weekend, every department has a dance party. Let's get through to the energy department first, then we can deal with the foreign trade department..."

Yusupova chuckled halfway through her sentence.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Just thinking about the incredulous looks on their faces after they've witnessed how amazing you are makes me laugh."

"Damn it! I'm not an animal, why did they all show up? Shouldn't we have taken them down one by one?"

"That's too much trouble. The women of our Great Russia are very generous and straightforward. Don't worry, as long as you bring out your ultimate weapon, I guarantee they'll all grovel at your feet."

"Is it really like that, carrying it like that?"

"You know the story of the wicked monk during the Tsarist era. Back then, noblewomen and young ladies alike considered it an honor to have slept with him. What about the empress and princesses? They still obediently listened to him."

"Damn it! I don't want to get assassinated."

"That's because the evil monk acted too domineeringly. You're not from our country, so you definitely won't get into the upper echelons. You'll just make some money through trade. You won't pose a threat to those in power. Don't worry, you're safe. Maybe those in power will even thank you."

"What kind of logic is this? I slept with his wife, and he's going to thank me? He's being lenient by not killing me."

"Those high-ranking officials now, aren't they all quite old, their bodies long since drained by Wotga, but their hearts are still young? Our Russian women are very direct; they'll throw a tantrum if they don't get what they want... Their lovers finding younger men outside is something everyone tacitly approves of."

Even if you don't come, they won't be idle. They'll be in a good mood after they're satisfied, and they'll take that joy home. If the lady of the house is happy, the man of the house will definitely be happy too. Do you understand?

"Wow! I'm speechless at this bizarre way of thinking."
