Chapter 359 [Part ] The Last Carnival of the Ghost Man
Time flies, and a few months later, in Ermao District, Zaporizhia City.

“Awen.”

“Milana.”

Lu Yaowen’s cheap brother-in-law Alexander greeted Lu Yaowen and his sister Milana with a bright smile on his face.

“Alexander, congratulations. You will soon be joining the Kiev government as Minister of Industry. When your father-in-law retires, you can naturally take over his position as Deputy Prime Minister.”

Lu Yaowen also had a bright smile on his face.

With the help of the military and the KGB, as well as Lu Yaowen’s financial support, Alexander completely took control of the city of Zaporozhye and turned the area into the Galitsky family’s second largest base outside of Odessa.

The Motor Sich company located in Zaporozhye naturally became Alexander’s possession. Lu Yaowen rushed to the Ermao area this time, in addition to taking Milana back to her parents’ home to visit relatives, he also planned to secretly send part of Motor Sich’s technology to the mainland.

In return, Lu Yaowen obtained the limited development rights of the Jiangdong area in Magic City, and became a “royal merchant” just like the Lei family developed the Nansha District of Guangzhou.

However, at this moment, only Lu Yaowen knew that the Jiangdong area of ​​Shanghai was much more valuable than the Nansha District of Guangzhou, and that Lu Yaowen would make unimaginable profits here in the future.

“Awen, I want to thank you for helping me and our family.”

Alexander looked at Lu Yaowen with a sincere expression.

The higher his position, the more he felt that his brother-in-law was unfathomable.

He understood that if it weren’t for Lu Yaowen, their Galitsky family would most likely end up becoming an ordinary family after his father retired as the chief of staff of the military district.

Now, their entire family can be said to be completely tied to Lu Yaowen, sharing weal and woe, rising and falling together.

Moreover, after becoming the youngest mayor of Ermao District, the youngest Minister of Industry and the future youngest Deputy Prime Minister, Alexander had greater ambitions in his heart.

“Alexander, now the entire coastal area of ​​Ermao, and even the southern region, is under the influence of your family, covering nearly one-third of the land in Ermao. The industrial value generated in this area accounts for half of the entire Ermao.”

At this point, Lu Yaowen paused slightly and said, “The strength of your family has already threatened the rule of Krafke. When you arrive at the Ji Mansion, you must be careful.”

Not to mention that Alexander himself had ambitions, even if he didn’t have ambitions, Lu Yaowen would help him develop ambitions.

As Lu Yaowen invested more and more resources in Damao and Ermao, his views on the returns he wanted to get from Damao and Ermao began to gradually change.

At first, Lu Yaowen wanted to make a quick buck and run away, but now, he wants more than just to make a quick buck. He wants his allies in these two regions to become the most solid guarantee for his foothold in the world.

“Awen, this is what I wanted to tell you…”

Alexander’s eyes flashed, and he spoke immediately, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yaowen: “Alexander, this is not the place to chat.”

“I was too impatient.”

Alexander shook his head and apologized, then continued, “I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you at home.”

Half an hour later, in a manor in Zaporozhye.

“Alexander, it seems that the citizens of Zaporizhia have not been affected much, and they still maintain the living standards before the split of the Russian bear.”

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

He naturally knew why Alexander was able to do these things, but he wanted to use this sentence to pick out the following words.

“Zaporol City is mainly supported by several large factories. These factories are supported by your funds, so the citizens of Zaporolu City have naturally not been affected.”

Alexander replied.

“But other areas of Ermao, especially the north, even the Jifu area has been hit hard. I heard from Andre that many retired soldiers are trying every means to join his mercenary team to make money.”

Lu Yaowen meant something.

“Awen, what do you mean?”

Alexander also seemed to understand what Lu Yaowen meant.

“Alexander, in fact, the people’s demands are very simple. Let them have enough food and warm clothes, and give them a little hope, and they will become your most staunch supporters.”

“I believe that if the people of Ermao knew that their lives would become so bad after the Maoxiong Country split, they would definitely not support Krafke.”

At this point, Lu Yaowen’s face condensed: “Alexander, you should have seen that Krafke’s rule in Ermao will not last long. This is an opportunity for you.”

“Awen, Krafke has been running the Ki government for so many years, it won’t be that easy for him to step down.”

Alexander’s eyes suddenly lit up. Lu Yaowen’s words really touched his heart, but he wanted to test to what extent Lu Yaowen could help him.

“Alexander, after you take the position of Minister of Industry, I will help you connect with the people of Da Mao and integrate your two factories so that your factories can be put back into operation. This will become your most important political achievement.”

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

In order to support other member states, Russia built many supporting factories in the member states. When they were one country, these factories could work together to produce goods.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, these factories were located in various member states, and many of them could not sell their products, and eventually they had to go bankrupt.

Among them, Ermao is particularly outstanding. His Motor Sich, the First Steel Plant and other factories are all part of the Russian military-industrial system. After the collapse of the Russian bear, orders dropped sharply, and they either went bankrupt or laid off a large number of employees to survive.

Now in Russia, with the full support of Lu Yaowen, Kloshko has more and more power in his hands, and his influence has extended to other departments of the Russian government.

Lu Yaowen couldn’t help but sigh that the current Russian President Boris is purely a political speculator. He is indeed good at political struggles, but his ability to govern the country is extremely poor.

In less than a year, he had half-crippled the Russian Empire and destroyed all his prestige in the Russian region. It was because of this that Kloshko was able to rise so quickly.

Now Lu Yaowen brings Kloshko and Alexander together, allowing these two people to earn political achievements together, which is killing two birds with one stone.

“Awen, you mean, you are with Damao…”

Alexander immediately understood what he meant, but in his heart, he felt that his brother-in-law was becoming more and more “unfathomable”.

“Alexander, I am also half a Galitsky family member. The higher your family goes in the Ermao area, the more stable your position will be. For me, there are only benefits and no harm.”

A smile appeared on Lu Yaowen’s face.

In his view, Ermao is a hen holding golden eggs. If its government is more reliable, it can easily allow its citizens to live a good life.

Not to mention that the Ermao region has the most fertile black soil in the world. Just selling grain can make a lot of money. Even if you become a second-hand dealer and sell Damao’s oil and gas to Western European countries, you can make a lot of money.

The main reason was that Ermao’s chaebols were greedy and stupid, and there was no political strongman within the group to seize power, which led to Ermao’s downfall.

Lu Yaowen was confident that with his help, the Galitsky family could lead Ermao onto another path.

“Awen, you are part of our family.”

Alexander looked at Lu Yaowen with a serious expression.

“Hahaha, I said the wrong thing. I’ll drink three glasses of wine as a penalty at the banquet later.”

Lu Yaowen laughed. In the next ten days, with Alexander’s assistance, more than 200 senior engineers from Motor Sich flew to the far east.

When these engineers boarded the plane, they all had smiles on their faces. The reason was very simple. Lu Yaowen offered them a “sky-high salary” of 5,000 US dollars.

Even though Zaporizhia’s economy is one of the best in the world today, the average salary of citizens is only 300 US dollars, and the salary of these engineers is only 700 to 800 US dollars. Lu Yaowen increased their salary several times in one go, and these engineers were naturally very happy.

After doing this, Lu Yaowen went to Odessa to meet his “cheap father-in-law”. Then he left Milana in Odessa and flew to Moscow to meet Kloshko.

……

“Brother Wen!”

“Brother Wen!”

When Lu Yaowen arrived in Moscow, it was already evening. Jimmy and Song Zihao, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, immediately came up to him and greeted him.

“Jimmy, Ah Hao, long time no see.”

Lu Yaowen gave the two of them a bear hug, then smiled and said to Song Zihao: “Ah Hao, I heard that there is a girl who is madly pursuing you?”

“Brother Wen, Sophia is twenty years younger than me, I…”

Song Zihao’s old face turned red.

“Ah Hao, marrying a local woman will help you integrate better into the local community. You are getting older, and it is time for you to start a family. If you don’t hate that Mao Mei, you can consider it.”

Lu Yaowen meant something.

Sofia’s brother is Kloshko’s secretary. The reason why she pursued Song Zihao madly was politics, not love.

Originally, Kloshko wanted to pair Sofia with Jimmy, but Lu Yaowen had other plans for Jimmy, so he rejected Kloshko’s proposal and chose to let Song Zihao, the “old iron tree, bloom.”

“Brother Wen, I understand what you mean.”

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Song Zihao nodded slightly.

He knew Sophia’s identity and knew that Lu Yaowen wanted to take root in Mao and establish a closer relationship with Kloshko’s forces.

Song Zihao has no aversion to Sophia, the young girl.

Moreover, Lu Yaowen also gave him the power to choose, which made Song Zihao quite moved.

After exchanging pleasantries with Jimmy and Song Zihao, Lu Yaowen got into a car and headed to the Moscow Hotel to meet with Kloshko.

after an hour.

Inside a banquet hall of the Grand Hotel Moscow.

“Mr. Lu!”

Kloshko walked towards Lu Yaowen and greeted him with a smile.

Although Kloshko is still the chairman of the KGB, his actual power is firmly ranked among the top three in Russia. However, when facing his partner Lu Yaowen, there is no dignity on his face, only a warm smile.

“Mr. Kloshko!”

There was also a warm smile on Lu Yaowen’s face.

After some greetings, Lu Yaowen told Kloshko that he wanted him to step in and get the Damao and Ermao factories to resume cooperation.

“Mr. Lu, your suggestion is very good. This is good news for both of us.”

After listening to Lu Yaowen’s words, Kloshko’s eyes flashed and the smile on his face became brighter.

He knew very well that the fact that Lu Yaowen could say this to him meant that this man also had an ally in the upper echelons of the Ermao region, and that ally’s status in the Ermao region would not even be lower than his status in Damao.

This made Lu Yaowen’s status in Kloshko’s heart even higher.

“Mr. Kloshko, we are all friends, there is no need to be so polite.”

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

“Mr. Lu is right. We are all friends. You brought me such a great gift, so as a friend, I must give something in return.”

As he spoke, Kloshko placed a file bag in front of Lu Yaowen: “This is the intelligence our KGB intercepted in the Ermao area yesterday. I hope it will be useful to you.”

Lu Yaowen picked up the file bag with some doubts, opened it, and pulled out a few sheets of paper. After roughly scanning the contents, his face changed slightly: “Is this guy Krafke crazy? He even dares to sell nuclear warheads?”

“Mr. Lu, Krafke would not do such a thing, but his son-in-law Ping Qiuke is a man who only cares about dollars. As long as he is given money, he dares to sell anything.”

Kloshko said with a smile.

“Mr. Kloshko, I hope you will continue to follow up on this matter. This may be a good opportunity for my friend.”

Lu Yaowen looked at Kloshko with sharp eyes and spoke slowly.

Once the secret sale of nuclear bombs was exposed, even if the bomb was sold by Krafke’s son-in-law and Krafke was unaware of it, his political career would be over.

As for why Kloshko had already given the Ermao KGB to Galitsky for management, but was still able to obtain such confidential information…

If Kloshko had not held back, Lu Yaowen would have really looked down upon this KGB chairman.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely help you keep an eye on this nuclear bomb.”

The smile on Kloshko’s face grew brighter.

……

On the other side, in an office building in Central, Hong Kong Island.

‘Ring ring ring~’

A phone rang.

“The goods have been purchased and are expected to be shipped back in a month.”

After William picked up the phone, a voice came from the receiver.

“okay, I get it.”

The corners of William’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile.

Immediately, he hung up the phone, slowly walked to the French window, looked at the Hong Kong Island below him, which was still as prosperous as before, and whispered to himself: “It’s time for you to return what we Eagles have given you.”
