Reborn Oligarchs 1991

?In the past ten years, although the federal political situation has been turbulent and the economy is in a complete mess, relatively speaking, GUM State Department Store has still managed to do well. For the citizens of Moscow and even the people of the whole federation, this large The department store is not only a shopping place, but also a symbol of the federal government. For this reason, although the federal government has been enduring a financial deficit, it has never exploited the necessary needs for the repair and maintenance of the department store. cost.

It is still the restaurant with the carved glass roof and the dining table on the ceiling corridor. The people who were fortunate enough to attend this lunch are still a few federal financial oligarchs. The fusion has become a gathering of the Big Five. Unfortunately, Smullensky can also be regarded as a lucky one. Now he has completely withdrawn from this circle, and people are still enjoying the beautiful spring in the UK.

Standing quietly in front of the large French window facing the Red Square, Guo Shouyun, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, had his eyes blurred. Since he came here half an hour ago, he has been standing in front of the window. With his calculating, evil brain, he didn’t have any bad thoughts at this moment. He was reminiscing, recalling many things that he once had but has now completely lost.

Not far behind him, Polaninov in a suit and leather shoes was sitting at a square table nibbling on sunflower seeds. The full-grained sunflower seeds fell into his mouth, and when they came out, they turned into two pale shells. , For this bodyguard, the boss is no longer responsible for the safety of his life. The guards at the entrance of the restaurant are obviously more professional than his bodyguard who was a special agent. Besides, in terms of age, he is nearly four years old this year. At ten, the most capable and energetic years of his life have flowed away from him. Anyone in this world can disobey old age, but only bodyguards can’t.

Having followed Guo Shouyun for so many years, Polaninov is now accustomed to his own life. In many cases, he even regards himself as a member of the Guo family in a trance. Therefore, when considering problems, he also stands up. Think from the perspective of Guo Shouyun. Taking today as an example, he was thinking about what the boss and the four of them had for lunch, was it for negotiation, for peace, or for a showdown? It’s a pity that melon seeds can’t be turned into brains. Of course he is thinking about things like this, but he can’t come up with a clear answer.

“Sir,” just when there was silence in the huge restaurant, a waiter wearing a black short clip and a snow-white lining came out of the direction of the elevator entrance. The young man held a bottle of red wine in both hands and walked carefully to Paula. In front of Ninov, he bowed and asked, “Your red wine has been delivered, where is it?”

“Just leave it here,” Polaninov said, glancing back.

“Yes, thank you sir,” the waiter put the wine bottle on the table and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As an ordinary little person, the young man may not know the origin of the people who ordered the entire restaurant today, but he knows one thing, that is, these people can’t afford the new Lafite red wine. It is estimated that there are only three bottles. The young man has been a waiter in Gum for six years, and the number of guests he has ushered in is unknown. Naturally, there are some people of high status, but until now, he has not seen anyone here for the first time. Greeting guests with such a high-end red wine. This thing was in the news two years ago. Christie’s sold a bottle for 340,000 pounds in Paris. At that time, I heard that the buyer was a Canadian. God knows what happened. , A bottle appeared in Moscow today.

What was going on in the young man’s mind, Polaninov didn’t know, he was looking at his boss, he had been standing by the window for nearly forty minutes, and the guests he invited at noon, But none came.

He beat the waiter with a worried expression. Polaninov stood up. Quietly walked to Guo Shouyun’s side. He hesitated. He said softly: “Sir. It’s already twelve o’clock. Mr. Khodorkovsky, are they not coming?”

“Ah? What did you say?” Guo Shouyun was clearly wandering just now. The secretary’s voice woke him up. He asked with a blank expression on his face.

Shaking his head helplessly. Polaninov repeated what he had just said.

“Haha. This is impossible.” Guo Shouyun shook his head and smiled. “I dare say. Even if no one comes at noon today. Mikhail won’t come either. Because he knows. Today’s lunch at noon is for the three of us. Either it’s the last lunch. Or it’s A dinner together. And whichever of these two possibilities ends up being true. He has to be there to figure it out.”

Nod. Polaninov agreed with this statement.

“That’s right. Polaninov.” Guo Shouyun seemed to have thought of something. He turned around. Said to his secretary. “You have arranged for a few reliable people to keep an eye on General Lebed these two days.”

“Why, sir doubts him” Polaninov wrinkled

No,” Guo Shouyun hurriedly said, “I’m not suspicious of him, but worried about him. After all, his performance has been a little too conspicuous during this time. I’m afraid that someone will harm him. After all, the tricks behind it are not only us. , others will also use it when they need it.

General Lebed is very important to me, and I don’t want him to have an accident. ”

“I understand sir,” Polaninov nodded, “I’ll make arrangements now.”

“Well, let’s go.” Guo Shouyun reached out and patted the secretary’s chest and said with a smile, “If you’re hungry, you can order something to eat first, hehe, or you won’t have a chance when the guests arrive.”

“Thank you sir, but I don’t think I have a chance now,” Polaninov glanced out the window and smiled wryly.

It turned out that just as the two of them were talking, a group of black Mercedes-Benz sedans drove from the east side of the Red Square. They were almost at the door of the department store. This was Gusinski’s motorcade. Guo Shouyun saw it at a glance. See it.

Gusinski is different from others. He seems to have suddenly begun to value his Jewish identity over the years. Therefore, in front of the driving cars of his motorcade, two small flags are often erected, one of which is three-colored. The Confederate flag, and the other side is a small flag with a Jewish hexagram embroidered on a blue background, so his motorcade is easy to tell.

Seeing the appearance of Gusinski’s team, Guo Shouyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seriously, don’t look at what he said just now. In fact, he doesn’t have a clue. As a person with a prominent identity, if he invites people to eat It turned out to be an empty wait for lunch, and that would be a big loss of face. If nothing else, at least tomorrow morning this news will be spread all over the political arena in Moscow and even the entire Federation. Fortunately, several old friends did not disappoint him.

“Let’s go down and pick it up.” Looking at Berezovsky and Gusinsky who got out of the third car, Guo Shouyun showed a smile on his face. Polaninov said.

Going down from the restaurant with the glass ceiling, Guo Shouyun was pounding so fast that when they came to the big fountain in the mall, Bie Gu, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, had just turned the hall.

“You are late, my friends,” Guo Shouyun laughed loudly after a distance of more than ten paces. “It was said that we gathered at half past eleven. What did you do, it was more than half an hour late.”

“You think we’re all as laid-back as you?” To give a warm hug first, Berezovsky shook his big head, which was very unsuitable for his height, and laughed, “That old Gennady is a deputy It’s not that you don’t know what kind of temper, just for the election, he can’t wait to squeeze the last bit of energy from us these days. It just so happened that there was a work meeting this morning, and it was supposed to be a good lunch at noon. If it wasn’t for you for the work meal, he might not have let people go by now.”

“This is the real truth,” Gusinski said after hugging Guo Shouyun as well, “Generally speaking, you didn’t choose the time for your treat. What’s the point of this lunch party today? It won’t be that one. What kind of red door banquet?”

Gusinski obviously lacks understanding of historical allusions in Sinology, and the famous “Hongmen Banquet” became a red door banquet in his mouth.

“That’s called the Hongmen Banquet, what is the Hongmen Banquet?” Guo Shouyun squeezed between the two of them, hugging their shoulders one by one, and said with a smile, “And the guest I invited at noon today has nothing to do with the Hongmen Banquet, as for the Hongmen Banquet. What are you talking about, hehe, even to remember the past, I invited some old friends to get together and sit down. Just in time, Dongting gave me a bottle of good wine a few days ago. Fei, this is a good thing that can be encountered but cannot be asked for, and I dare not enjoy it alone, so I invite everyone to come and try it.”

“Oh, the one that Christie’s auctioned at the end of last year?” Gusinski rolled his eyes and smiled.

“Exactly,” Guo Shouyun said with a smile, “how about it, I’m not too stingy, am I?”

“No, no, of course not, if our Mr. Guo Da is also stingy, then I really don’t know what kind of people can be called generous,” Berezovsky laughed, “but to me For example, Lafite in 1966 is of course the best, but”

“But what?” Guo Shouyun laughed as he walked into the elevator with two people in his arms.

“But friends who are truly trustworthy are the most precious,” Berezovsky said with a haha. “You don’t think so?”

“You old slick,” Guo Shouyun naturally knew what the other party was thinking, he laughed and scolded, and then said, “Yes, I don’t plan to hide it from you, I not only invited the two of you to the party at noon today, but also Invited Mikhail and the two of them. They had an appointment before, and I asked them to push it away. I guess this person should come too. “
