"I am Wang Sanri. Could you please help me find Director Fang?"
After the call was connected, Wang Sanri spoke.
The person he was looking for was none other than Fong Meng-wah, the director of TVB and the mistress of TVB boss, Shao Lao-si.
A few minutes later.
"Okay, okay, Director Fang, I understand what you mean."
After saying this with a smile, Wang Sanri hung up the phone.
"Li Jun, the entertainment industry is a very complicated place. Even if you are a powerful and influential person, you can't get involved in this mess."
Wang Sanri looked at the mobile phone in his hand and muttered to himself.
……
At 1pm that day.
Li Jun, the "fierce dragon crossing the river" mentioned by Wang Sanri, sat by the window in a coffee shop next to Kai Tak Airport, resting with his eyes closed.
On the table in front of Li Jun was a red rose, the token he had agreed upon for their meeting with Yuri Orlov.
Yuri Orlov's plane will arrive at Hong Kong Island at 1 p.m., and his next flight will depart from Hong Kong Island at 2:15 p.m. for Amylica, Honolulu, Hawaii.
"Mr. Li?"
A few minutes later, a voice that sounded like a mix of Chinese and English reached Li Jun's ears.
Li Jun opened his eyes, and a slightly balding, blond, middle-aged foreigner appeared in front of him.
You can tell from this foreigner's weathered face that he has been through a lot.
"Yuri Orlov?"
Li Jun asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Li, the doctor told me that her man was the most dazzling one in the crowd, and she didn't lie to me."
Yuri Orlov quickly bridged the gap between himself and Li Jun with a single sentence, and then sat down opposite Li Jun.
“Eureka, I don’t deny what the doctor said.”
Li Jun replied with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha."
After chuckling a few times, Yu 1.0 Rui Orlov got straight to the point: "Mr. Li, I'm very sorry, but we only have 40 minutes. The doctor said you have something very important to discuss with me, so please keep it brief."
“Yuri, I’ll call you that from now on. I need heavy weaponry, a lot of heavy weaponry, at least 10 armored vehicles, 5 helicopters, and 1000 sets of individual combat equipment.”
Li Jun stated his requirements directly.
After listening to Li Jun's words, Yuri Orlov pointed to the Hong Kong Island street scene outside the window and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, if I may be frank, you probably don't need such heavy weaponry in this city, do you?"
"Yuri, aren't you arms dealers just supposed to deliver weapons to where they need them, without asking any questions or reasons?"
Li Jun smiled and asked in return.
“Mr. Li is right, but this place is very sensitive, and I don’t want to take any risks.”
Yuri pointed north and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Yuri, I didn't explain clearly. I need you to help me deliver this batch of goods to Siam."
Li Jun smiled.
"If it's Siam, then there's no problem."
Yuri said casually, then continued, "But if that's all there is to it, Mr. Li, you wouldn't have needed to meet with me here specifically, would you?"
“Eureka, that’s why I enjoy dealing with smart people.”
Li Jun smiled slightly, then leaned close to Yuri Orlov and whispered, "Yuri, I need you to take me to the Russians. I have a big deal to make, and I have to find the buyer myself."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, a glint of light flashed in Yuri Orlov's eyes.
He crossed his arms and pondered for a moment before looking at Li Jun and slowly asking, "How big is it?"
“You take me to meet someone, $1000 million, and another $1000 million after it’s done.”
Li Jun looked at Yuri Orlov and slowly said, word by word...
[077] Li Jun: What is Xu Huaqiang's position at the New Journalists Association? Does he deserve to talk to me?
Yuri Olof admitted that he was tempted after hearing the terms Li Jun offered.
Just take him to meet people, and you'll get $1000 million regardless of whether the deal goes through or not.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to be doing very well in the arms trade all over the world and making a lot of money.
But in reality, only $1 out of every $100 he earned actually ended up in his pocket. $10 million was equivalent to him buying $1000 billion worth of weapons.
After all, the whole world knows that there are two of the world's largest arms dealers today: the KGB and the CIA. Behind them are countless networks of relationships, and only huge profits can sustain these layers of relationships that form a 'money empire'.
Thinking of this, Yuri Orlov said, "Mr. Li, I admit I'm tempted, but my line of work is dangerous, and you have to be careful at all times. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Li Jun understood what Yuri Orlov meant. If he wanted Orlov to take him to the Russians, he had to tell him what his purpose was in going to the Russians and what he wanted.
“Yuri, the most profitable canal in the world is the Suez Canal, the busiest strait in the world is the Strait of Hormuz, and in the East, the busiest strait is the Strait of Malacca.”
"On the nearly 10,000-mile sea route from Java in the west to Taiwan in the east, hundreds of cargo ships carrying goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars travel along this sea route every day. Even if I can only deduct a tiny bit from it."
As Li Jun spoke, he made a gesture that would instantly break a Korean man's defenses, "Just this little bit is enough to make me one of the richest men in the East."
"This requires warships, many warships, enough to deter the warships of those monkey countries in Southeast Asia, and I can only buy these warships from the Russians."
At this point, Li Jun smiled slightly: "Yuri, you are indeed very resourceful. You have connections with both the KGB and the CIA, but I believe you have absolutely no way to buy what I want. Am I right?"
"Wow, Mr. Li, your plan is so grand that it surprises me. Do you want to become the 'Blackbeard' of the East?"
After listening to Li Jun's words, Yuri Orlov asked with a smile.
“Yuri, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not a pirate; that’s illegal. I’m just protecting the sea lanes and charging passing ships a reasonable fee in return.”
Li Jun replied with a smile.
“I understand. You’re 14, just like me. I don’t do anything illegal either. I just deliver goods to people who need them. So, God will forgive us, right, Lee?”
Yuri Olof winked at Li Jun.
"Yes, God will forgive us, Yuri."
Li Jun winked at Yuri Olof, and the two smiled at each other, both understanding what the other meant.
“Li, you’re an interesting person, more interesting than most people I know. The weapons you need will be delivered to your female doctor within half a month. Also, I’ll help you contact the Russians. Knowing them as I do, you should hear good news from me in a week.”
Yuri Orlov said with a smile.
"Thank you, Yuri. Perhaps I should give you a bigger tip."
Li Jun smiled.
“Li, you’d better think about how to persuade those old Russians. Money alone won’t move them. You know they’re not like me. I can wave my US dollars around the world, but they can’t. If you give them US dollars, they’ll just leave them to rot in their cellars.”
Yuri Olof shrugged and said with a smirk.
"I know, I prepared something they couldn't refuse."
Li Jun smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
"Oh, then I'd like to see what it takes to make the Russians risk selling you their warships."
Yuri Orlov said curiously, then raised his wrist to look at his watch, "Lee, I think I should probably go now."
Then, before Li Jun could speak, Yuri continued with a smile, "I think I must be crazy. I actually believe that someone who won't even buy me a cup of coffee would give me a $1000 million kickback."
“Eureka, it’s a long way from Hong Kong Island to Honolulu. I think you need to get some sleep on the plane. Sitting on the plane for hours after drinking coffee is not a pleasant experience.”
Li Jun responded with a smile.
"Damn it, Lee, you're more Jewish than the Jews themselves."
As Yuri Orlov stood up, he smiled and said to Li Jun.
"Hahaha, Yuri, in a few days, you'll be holding a check for ten million dollars, crying and taking back what you said, begging for my forgiveness."
Li Jun laughed heartily.
"1000 million US dollars, Lee. I'd even kneel down in front of you and kiss your shoes without a problem. Alright, Lee, I should go now. It was a very pleasant chat with you. I look forward to seeing you again next time."
After saying this to Li Jun, Yuri Orlov turned and walked towards Kai Tak Airport.
"Eureka, I think you want to meet with Check, don't you?"
Li Jun smiled and said to Yuri's retreating figure.
Li Jun responded with a middle finger from Yu Rui.
Watching Yuri's departing figure, Li Jun's smile vanished. He then walked out of the coffee shop and got into the Crown sedan parked by the roadside.
“Go to Henglai Hotel, no, Kadoorie Hill.”
Li Jun was about to return to Henglai Hotel on his first instinct, but then he remembered that Li Jieying still needed his help with some things, so he quickly changed his mind.
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Xu Xi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, immediately started the car and drove towards Kadoorie Hill.
