Extraordinary Genius
chapter-998

After the two of them discussed their cooperation, Feng Yu realized that his investments in Russia this time is quite high.

Just the mining company, each of them will increase their investments by over 2 billion USD. The investments in the supermarkets, chemical plant, metal processing is quite high too. Other businessmen might not even afford one of these investments.

Before these investments, they had invested in electronic factories, an internet company, etc. Now, even the wealthiest man in Russia is planning to get loans.

“Feng, I need to confirm something with you. It is about that guy, Putin, you mentioned before. Are you sure he can reach that position?”

This information is critical for Kirilenko’s father and his family. If they stood on the wrong side, his father would lose the opportunity to move up.

“What’s wrong? That guy had just become the First Deputy Prime Minister. You can see how fast he moved up the ranks. Isn’t this enough to prove it?” Feng Yu replied confidently.

“But that there are three First Deputy Prime Ministers, and he has the least power.”

“Look at his resume. He is one of Yeltsin’s most trusted aides. At this time next year, the word ‘Deputy’ will be removed from his title.”

Kirilenko had doubts. Can someone get promoted so fast? But he had to admit that Putin’s promotion is very fast. Such promotion speed can only happen during war times.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Putin is famous for being a tough guy and had been on <Forbes> World’s Most Powerful People list for many years.

Since Putin comes into power, he had never been left out from the list.

Kirilenko trusted Feng Yu. Although he does not know how Feng Yu analyzes the Russian politicians, all his previous predictions were accurate. Feng Yu is also accurate about the events in the US.

Major historical events had not diverted from Feng Yu’s previous life. Feng Yu can still make use of these events to develop his businesses.

“Alright. Feng, I will tell my father to support Putin!”

Kirilenko and his family had analyzed the situation before. Even if they had placed their bets on the wrong person, Putin would also be the second-in-command. After all, Putin is from Yeltsin’s faction.

Senchenko’s age had determined his career progression. He can only get promoted one more time, but Kirilenko’s older brother is different. He is still young, and if he can move up the ranks further, it will be beneficial to Kirilenko and his family.

Not only Kirilenko and his family were puzzled. Many high-ranking officials were also puzzled by Putin. How did a KGB intelligence officer move up the ranks so fast? He is still so young!

“Brother Ki, you all will not regret this decision.” Feng Yu replied with a mysterious smile.

The better Kirilenko is in Russia, the higher returns Feng Yu will get from his investments there. Feng Yu will also stand to gain when Brother Ki’s family status increases. If not, Feng Yu will not tell Kirilenko and his family about all these.

Feng Yu is not used to seeing Kirilenko speaking seriously with him. He still prefers the jovial Kirilenko.

“Brother Ki, how is the construction of your mansion?” Feng Yu tried to lighten the mood by talking about other things.

“Everything is going smoothly, but the progression is not fast.” Because of Russia’s geographical location, construction can only be ongoing for a few months every year.

“Isn’t this what you wanted? You also don’t want to get married so early, right?” Feng Yu laughed.

“Marriage will not tie me down. I am also not in Russia all the time. I can go to Hong Kong, the US, etc.” Kirilenko raised his brows and said proudly.

Feng Yu shook his head. Hong Kong had become Kirilenko’s second home. Feng Yu decided that he should not introduce his friends to Fu Guangwei in the future!

Kirilenko took a big gulp from his glass and said with a sad face. “Feng, I noticed that recently, I am not as happy as before.”

“What’s wrong? Did you encounter some troubles recently?” Feng Yu wanted to tell him. ‘What is bothering you? Hurry up and tell me so that I can laugh at you.’

“In the past, I do not have a lot of money, but I feel I do not lack anything. I can go hunting, fishing, play cards with my friends every day. Wherever I go out, there will be a car sending me. I get to eat delicious food every day, and I can buy anything I want.”

“You can still go hunting, fishing now. Is there anything you want to buy, but can’t afford now?”

“But now, I feel that my money is never enough. Not only I need to invest in businesses, and I still need to make profitless investments for my family. I even face restrictions when I want to have fun with other girls.”

Huh? It must be the last point that makes you unhappy, right?

“Brother Ki, if you think your money is not enough, we can hold back on some investments. Making money is for enjoying life. You can learn from me, and let your men run your companies. This way, you will have more time for yourself to do the things you like.”

Although Kirilenko had hired many professional managers, he still holds on to most of the authority. Most of the matters still need to get his approvals. He doesn’t seem to trust his men a lot.

“What do you do most of your time? I seldom see you play Mahjong.”

Feng Yu rolled his eyes. Who told you that all Chinese like to play Mahjong? Feng Yu only play Mahjong once in a while to past time and does not play it every day.

“You can take up some sports like swimming, basketball, etc. or play chess, or do some reading. You can start a new hobby instead. Don’t you find it bored to drink every day?”

“Drinking is not boring.” To Kirilenko, drinking is the most interesting past time. “But it’s been a while since I exercise. Yes. After I bought the basketball team, I will play with them. I was the best player in my school’s basketball team.”

Feng Yu still wanted to persuade Kirilenko, but he suddenly heard Kirilenko’s loud snoring from the sofa.

WTF?! This is my room, and why are you sleeping here? Hurry and wake up! How am I going to sleep with your snoring?!

Kirilenko was fast asleep and wouldn’t wake up!

Feng Yu can only take Kirilenko’s room keys from his pocket and sleep in his room!

Feng Yu made a mental note to himself to not let Kirilenko drink in his room and chat with him at night in the future!
