Reborn in Russia as a Big Shot

Chapter 105 Yongge Leads Left to Russia

I arranged to play billiards with Yong Ge on the left.

In the private room, Yong Ge arrived first and was already playing by himself.

"You're right on time." Xiang Zuo said, carrying a large bag. "I brought you some New Year's goods: abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, and shiitake mushrooms."

Yongge leaned over the billiard table, aiming, and joked, "Did you steal it from home?"

"I bought these for you myself. They're all top-quality goods. You'll be visiting your sister-in-law during the New Year, so just take them with you." Xiang Zuo placed the New Year's goods against the wall.

"Have you told your dad about the TV series collaboration?" Yong-ge is pretty good at billiards; after sinking a ball, he aims for the next shot.

"No agreement." He picked up a club to the left and stood to the side to watch.

"If he doesn't agree, then do it yourself. When I was your age, I was already out there fighting people." Yong missed his shot and didn't continue. He arrogantly ordered to the left, "Place the ball."

"I don't have the capital." After all, Brother Yong was an elder, so he didn't argue with Xiang Zuo. He put down the cue and started setting up the ball.

Yong-ge stood to the side, leaning on his golf club, and said arrogantly, "I don't have any capital either. My casino is about to be built. Your dad just has no vision. He wanted to get rich with him, but he didn't want to."

"Doesn't Russia ban gambling?" He placed the ball to the left, signaling for Yong Ge to start.

"It's not completely banned; four gambling zones have been designated." Yong Ge, having miraculously scored two, turned to his left while searching for his next shot and asked, "Have you heard of Vladivostok?"

"I've heard of it."

Do you know where it is?

"You roughly know, it's up in Heilongjiang, right?"

Yong was quite lucky, sinking another long shot. He continued to boast, "It's located near the Japanese islands, which are the world's second-largest economy. There are no casinos there, so tourists come and go. Think about it, it's no worse than Macau."

"People from Japan gamble in South Korea, right?" Xiang Zuo was quite honest.

"Exotic atmosphere, are there Russian beauties in South Korea? I'll take you to see them sometime." Yong Ge's attempt to show off failed, and he missed his shot. He waved his hand and said, "Your turn."

Xiang Zuo, on a sudden impulse, asked to confirm, "Uncle Yong, tell me the truth, what stage have you reached in your negotiations with this casino?"

"Didn't I already say we'd start work immediately?"

"Have you found a suitable land yet?" Xiang Zuo asked in detail.

"We're looking, but we've decided to go to Vladivostok." Yong Ge found a starting point and continued to show off, "Vladivostok targets the Northeast Asian market, which the Russians can't handle."

"Have you raised enough money?" Xiang Zuo asked.

"The budget hasn't been finalized yet, and we haven't discussed the money issue."

He complained to the left, "Isn't that just because there's not enough money, the actors haven't been cast, and there's no script yet?"

"Hurry up and call," Yong urged, then paused and added, "I'm planning to go to Russia before the New Year. If you're interested, you can come with me and give me some advice."

"OK."

Xiang Zuo had lost all interest in playing and just threw a shot carelessly, but missed.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Yong Ge's expression froze.

Xiang Zuo truthfully said, "Uncle Yong, this is what I'm thinking. I'll go with you to investigate first. If your casino project really shows promise, I'll go home and try to persuade my dad."

"By making this happen, I've done a great service. If I bring up the TV series with him again, it will all fall into place naturally."

"The key is—" Xiang Zuo paused, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's the key point?" Yong asked.

Xiang Zuo smiled wryly and said, "There's so much exaggeration in what you say that I don't know which one to believe."

Yong adjusted his expression and said in a serious tone, "We two get along quite well. Your dad won't give you a chance, but I will. From now on, you can follow me, and I'll guarantee you'll make a fortune."

"Get the visas done quickly, and we'll leave as soon as they're issued."

Yong-ge does love to brag, but he knows his own capabilities. Cooperating with the Russian mafia is not that easy.

He's a petty thug, they're a professional criminal organization.

Bringing the Xiang family in would at least provide them with someone to rely on.

He nodded to the left and said, "Okay, I'll tell my dad we're going to Japan Island, but I won't tell him yet."

Yong continued playing basketball, then suddenly remembered something, turned to Xiang Zuo, and said, "Your family still owes Bai Zhi over four million. Tell your dad that if the money isn't paid, there's no cooperation."

Li Xiang has been keeping a close eye on Pierce lately; the two are practically living together, almost inseparable.

On the one hand, purchasing CDS requires frequent communication with Wall Street, which is halfway around the world with an eight-hour time difference. In order to buy enough positions as soon as possible, one can only actively cooperate with Wall Street to use New York time.

And then there's————

Li Xiang wanted to keep an eye on Pierce and give him a break to prevent him from noticing SkriI's unusual cash flow.

Peter was very efficient; Kumarin's dirty money was being broken down into small remittances of hundreds or thousands of dollars and continuously sent overseas through the SkriI e-wallet.

After all the money has been transferred out, they belatedly realize the need to strengthen compliance audits and conduct a centralized account closure, shutting down a large number of problematic accounts.

Destroy the tools used in the crime!

Yong Ge brought Xiang Zuo to Russia to discuss casino business, but Li Xiang was too busy to receive him, so he handed the two of them over to Xiao Mi.

Xiaomi is doing very well now. Xiao Du already told him that VK's user growth target for this year is 5000 million.

If this deal is successfully reached, the total value of the Milishvili family's VK shares will exceed $200 million.

Xiaomi is a founding shareholder of VK, having invested only $36,000. Turning $36,000 into $200 million would make anyone arrogant; even printing money wouldn't happen that fast.

The Milishvili family started as a gangster family, then laundered their wealth and transformed into gambling tycoons. Growing up in such a family, Milishvili was born an ordinary person.

It just so happens that Brother Yong is also an ordinary person.

When ordinary people entertain ordinary people, they naturally have their own sufficiently ordinary ways.

Private rooms.

Holding the wine list, Yong Ge communicated with Xiang Zuo in Cantonese, complaining, "Everyone says Hong Kong is expensive, but this isn't cheap either."

Xiang Zuo whispered in Yong Ge's ear, "There are plenty of people who spend money like water in the entertainment industry. You can't tell if they're big shots or con artists just by looking at them."

"I know his background. He's a billionaire. I'll tell you more later." When Yong saw Xiaomi coming over with a girl in his arms, he immediately greeted her with a smile.

Xiaomi sat down next to Yong Ge, and the girl she brought was the translator.

"Brother Yong, don't worry about the casino. Leave it all to me. I'll go to Vladivostok in a few days to buy land and try to start construction this year and open for business within two years."

"We'll split the shares 50/50, you don't need to pay a single penny, I'll give it to you."

The girl who translated for Xiaomi had very poor Cantonese; her pronunciation was inaccurate, she stuttered, and she used the wrong words.

Yong thought he had misheard and said to the girl, "Ask him, if the shares are split 50/50, how much do I have to pay?"

The translator replied directly, "You don't need to pay."

Xiang Zuo also thought it was unrealistic and interjected, "Ask him again."

Xiaomi didn't know what the three were talking about, so she took the initiative to communicate with the translator. After the exchange, the translator spoke with Yong Ge again.

"Sir, I'm not mistaken. Slava has something he'd like to ask for your help with. If you can do it, I'll give you not only half the shares, but the entire casino."
