Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 713

“Struggle in Tsarist Russia (

When it comes to spending money on Alexei, it’s a headache, especially for buying it. It’s not cheap. It’s often a large expenditure of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan. To be honest, if the money was not proved in the end It’s worth it. Alexei is really reluctant to pay for it.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, “How much will it cost?”

Li Xiao burst into laughter as he looked at him, and it took a while for him to return to normal: “You don’t need to spend money, my friend! Your stinginess is so funny!”

Being called an iron rooster didn’t embarrass Alexei, and he replied solemnly: “You have to spend money everywhere, how can you use it if you don’t think about it!”

Having said this, he frowned and sighed: “Andrei, although I think it is necessary to be careful, the money that should be spent still has to be spent. Tell me the truth, what is the point of bribing Matvi Semenovich? How much will it cost?”

Li Xiao was very moved. Everyone could see that Alexei was really struggling with financial problems, and he was willing to try any way to save money. But it was so difficult. When he heard that he needed to spend money, he agreed without saying a word.

What is tacit understanding? It absolutely is!

Li Xiao put away his smile and replied seriously: “My friend, I really don’t need to spend money!”

Alexey asked with wide eyes and puzzled: “Why? Didn’t this kind of thing cost money in the past? And I don’t think we can hold down Matvey Semenovich, I know that guy It’s just that the stones in the pit are stinky and hard, and there is no way to deal with them!”

Li Xiao smiled and said: “At this time and another, my people have been staring at him for the past two years. I don’t say all the little things he did in private, at least they are inseparable. Naturally, you can have a good chat with him!”

Alexey frowned again and reminded: “My friend, you know, I never doubted your ability, but this thing worries me. Of course I know you have a lot of evidence, but those Can something really deter Matvey Semenovich enough?”

Li Xiao is not surprised that Alexei has doubts. This fully shows Alexei’s growth. In the past, he might have agreed without even thinking about it. Of course, it would save some trouble, but what Li Xiao wanted Not a puppet who can only obey orders, but a helper who is good at thinking independently and solving problems on his own.

So he explained patiently: “Matvi Semyonovich is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is not without a handle. Of course, the things we have in our hands cannot kill him, but our purpose is also Not to get rid of him… it’s easy to get rid of him, but what good will it be for us to change to a new director of the third Wallachia who is loyal to His Majesty?”

“what do you mean?”

Li Xiao did not directly answer this question, but continued to explain: “My purpose is to maintain the status quo, and I can even give him some sweetness. As long as he doesn’t interfere with us, we will continue to live in peace, and he can continue to do his own thing. Dirty and sinful business, and we will continue to complete the unfinished business in Wallachia. Everyone gets what they need, and no one bothers anyone, isn’t it beautiful!”

Alexei remains skeptical: “Will he agree?”

Li Xiao smiled and said, “So I have to go out and convince him myself!”

Alexey smiled bitterly: “It seems that you are very confident. No matter what I say, you will try it, right?”

Li Xiao replied seriously: “No, if you think it’s inappropriate to do this, and you don’t agree, then I won’t act without authorization, I’ll give up the showdown with Matvey and wait for Varenoff’s investigation instead. As a result. While I don’t think it’s the best policy, if you insist, I’ll do it.”

Alexey didn’t expect Li Xiao’s answer to be like this, because Li Xiao has always been strong, and he will definitely stick to what he wants to do, but what has changed today?

“I haven’t changed, my friend,” Li Xiao replied with a smile. “In the past, there was only one way to go, and I naturally had to stick to it. Today, obviously we have more than one way to go, although in my opinion there is only one way to go. There are still pros and cons between the two paths, but I can’t be 100% sure that the one I choose will definitely be better, so why do I insist on going my own way?”

Alexey was stunned again, he didn’t know that Li Xiao still had such a consideration, but although the reason was good, it sounded a little embarrassing. In a sense, Li Xiao admitted that he would respect the opinions of their partners only when the basic interests were the same, otherwise he would not give in half a step.

“You seem to be bothering my friend a bit!” Li Xiao asked directly.

Alexey nodded and said, “It’s a little bit, I feel like our opinions are optional.”

“Of course your opinion is not optional~www.mtlnovel.com~ You are my closest and most important friend, your interests are closely related to me, I respect your interests at any time, and do my best to ensure our common interests are not harmed.”

“So I will insist on some opinions, and I will also strongly oppose some opinions. If you are persuaded, there is naturally no problem. But if you are not persuaded by me, then I will actively prove that my opinions are correct. , and will completely respect your right of choice, I will never act on my own will, that is not my principle of conduct.”

Alexey blushed immediately, and he tried to say something, such as explaining that he completely trusted Li Xiao, but Li Xiao stopped him: “Of course I know that you trust me, and I am deeply grateful for your trust, no I can’t do anything with your trust…and your selfless trust is especially important to me, and I’m so grateful!”

Li Xiao’s words not only dispelled Alexei’s doubts, but also moved him. He felt that he had misunderstood Li Xiao, and he wanted to say something, but Li Xiao just smiled and waved his hand: “Okay, I Friends, don’t say those nasty words, we don’t need those between us, let’s focus on the work at hand and do our own thing!”

After persuading Alexei, Li Xiao did not immediately go to Matvey Semenovich for a showdown, because he knew that this was a difficult opponent. Want to bring it into submission.

And the first link of the so-called preparations is to severely crack down on Matvi Semyonovich’s smuggling operation.

There is another advantage to doing this, that is, it is better for Matvi Semyonovich to come to him than to personally go to the door to find the opponent, and it is more or less cheap to play at home…
