After a while, Yang Shouzhuo came down to eat again, with a much more relaxed expression: "Leto agreed, but he also asked for more money and tax exemptions for doing business in China, but I think these are just a cover, and it is still political asylum." He was impressed. Your brain is so useful, I can't help but admire it."
Li Wenjun smiled: Although Leto is very wicked, he is also very smart. Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone with a humble background to gain a foothold in a mafia-ridden Ukraine at such a young age.
One characteristic of smart people is that no matter how powerful they are at the moment, they will first plan an escape route.
Yang Shouzhuo said: "I will be very busy these two days and have to go to the Ukrainian government to do work. You two make your own arrangements and don't worry about me. I can't take care of you either."
Li Wenjun said: "Otherwise, it's basically a foregone conclusion here, and Old Tang and I can't help. We have nothing to do and go to Turkey to see it."
Tang Zhaonian frowned: "Idleness means idleness. I'm not afraid of idleness."
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "A project starting at one trillion yuan..."
Tang Zhaonian took a deep breath: "Okay. Go ahead. You won't let the grinding donkey stop anyway."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Not bad, not bad. I have been hanging out with Tao Guangming a lot recently, and I have learned Mandarin and northern proverbs very well."
Tang Zhaonian: "You are a fool."
Li Wenjun: "Come, tell me first how your talks with Turkey are going."
He leaves things to others and never asks for details, unless others can't do it anymore and ask him for help.
But Tang Zhaonian never said a word about this matter from beginning to end.
Tang Zhaonian sighed: "Turkey is a country that is not big or small, but it has complex forces and many contradictions. It has multiple languages and religions. Although the Turkish Strait was nominally completely owned by Turkey, in fact it was controlled by the superpower. After all, their Black Sea Fleet can only set out from here if they want to go to Europe and Africa. After the disintegration of the superpower, the current president took the opportunity to convert state-owned enterprises into private enterprises, which gave people of a certain sect an advantage and other sects were not satisfied. Now President Erza also wants to build an economic community for Turkic-speaking countries similar to the European Union."
Li Wenjun lowered his eyes and listened silently. He knows all this.
Tang Zhaonian continued: "The key Turkish Straits are divided into three sections. The Bosporus Strait, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles Strait. They were all state-owned before, but now they are controlled by two families. It is the same as before I and Just talk to one person, but now we have to talk to many people. We also need to talk to the mayor of Istanbul. The key is that these guys have a huge appetite. From the time I started planning the Black Sea port to now, the policy has changed several times. I just What was agreed upon is no longer counted. What was just negotiated is no longer counted. It’s really a lot of irritation.”
He frowned and tugged at his hair, as if trying to pull out his worries.
He didn't need to say it so clearly. Li Wenjun knew that both families had military and underworld backgrounds, otherwise they wouldn't be able to control them at all.
Li Wenjun also understood why Tang Zhaonian was stuck for so long without mentioning it to him.
This is because every time Tang Zhaonian feels that he is almost done, he collapses again and has to start all over again, so there is nothing to say to him.
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said, "Just go from top to bottom."
Tang Zhaonian shook his head: "Generally speaking, unless there is a major event that affects the entire country's economy, or it comes from the national level, the president will not talk about it with individuals at all. In fact, I have also tried to take this path, and I have used many contacts to no avail. Success. I’m not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I guess you will ask this when you are free these two days, so a few days ago, I tried again to meet Erza, but was rejected again. "
Li Wenjun tapped the table lightly with his finger and asked Tang Zhaonian: "What do you think is the possibility of letting Leto cooperate with us to build this port?"
Tang Zhaonian shook his head: "Impossible, I asked him. He didn't respond."
Li Wenjun: “Where does Leto’s current ore go from to Europe?”
Tang Zhaonian has one advantage: he eats from the bowl and looks at the pot.
This is a habit made by the underworld. I always want to occupy more of other people's territory, and I always guard against others taking over my own territory.
So after he built the port in St. Peter Port, he investigated the ore logistics directions of all large mining areas to identify his potential customers.
If it weren't for this habit, he wouldn't be alive today and wouldn't be as big as he is today.
Tang Zhaonian said: "The railway goes out from Poland or Hungary."
Li Wenjun nodded slightly: "Well, that's because all the mines he holds are in the north and northwest, where it is faster to go to Europe by land transportation. Then we will give him a reason to cooperate with us."
Tang Zhaonian snorted: "Do you think everyone is as simple and kind as us, willing to do things for you? For a person like Leto, even if you feed sugar to his mouth, he will repeatedly think about your sugar value. It’s not worth opening his mouth.”
Li Wenjun smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely grab the candy I give him."
Tang Zhaonian frowned: "Even if he is willing to cooperate with us, doesn't he have to help A-Zhuo now?"
Li Wenjun said: "He just helps A Zhuo handle matters here and won't spend too much time."
All the work has been done in the front, and now it is too late to use talents to do the work.
------
Leto was surprised by the arrival of Li Wenjun and Tang Zhaonian: "Hey, you should be busy now, how come you have time to come to my place."
Li Wenjun smiled at him: "We are all the same, we are only responsible for talking, others will do the other work."
Leto nodded: "Yes. We are very similar. Tell me, what important thing do you want to see me for today?"
Li Wenjun sat down and said, "As you know, I helped Wu Suo find an oil field and cooperate in oil extraction. However, the little oil is not enough for my refinery. So I want to cooperate with you in oil field exploration."
Leto smiled: "It's not that I underestimate you. We can't get involved in the oil field business. Ukraine is different from Russia. Russia is too big and has few people, so some places have not been surveyed. It is possible that there are new oil fields. Yes. Wells are being dug everywhere in Ukraine, and they are starting to dig wherever oil fields can be reached. Some people are also buying up the places that have not been dug, waiting to be dug later.”
If he could get in, he would have done it long ago, why would he need to wait until now?
Li Wenjun said: "What if I can find an oil field that others have not discovered and cooperate with you to develop it? The same conditions I gave Uso, I will invest 30% and hold 30% of the shares."
Leto shook his head: "No, no, no, this is unfair. I have invested more. If the oil field is not found, the loss will be too great."
Gold mines are okay, they can be found using instrument exploration, and the investment is not large.
Drilling for oil is really a risky business. If you dig a deep well, if oil comes out, you will be prosperous. If not, you won't get a penny back.
