Chapter 2641: Resistance to Cooperation

Waves of contemptuous words filled the ears of Sakurai Musashi and Mo Xian.

They both knew that they had caused public outrage.

But if they drank any more, they felt they might die.

"We can't drink anymore, we give up!"

Sakurai Musashi said with gritted teeth.

"Let's go. I can't drink anymore. I want to go back to the hotel to rest."

Mo Xian also spoke.

"Hey, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Zhuge Wan'er stopped them and asked, "What about the bet you agreed to?"

"Little girl, stop joking. Since when can a few glasses of wine determine the trade cooperation between two countries?" Mo Xian said sarcastically, shaking his head.

"That's right. If it's really such a joke, then why don't we just send the hostesses instead of the top management to discuss cooperation?"

Sakurai Musashi said confidently.

"Xu~~~~~"

Everyone present booed and raised their thumbs, despising the two men's shamelessness.

But the two of them completely ignored it and quickly left the scene with their people.

Zhuge Wan'er said angrily: "You are a villain who doesn't keep his word!!!"

The hairy bear people also pointed at the two of them with expressions of contempt.

But Chen Mo said calmly: "Actually, they are right. It's too ridiculous to expect to win cooperation through a drinking contest."

After a pause, Chen Mo turned around, raised his glass and said to Igor, "Mr. Sechin, can we have a formal talk now?"

Igor smiled knowingly and said, "Mr. Chen saw through me."

Chen Mo nodded: "Since you know my alcohol tolerance and proposed a drinking contest, you must be biased towards our Daxia in terms of cooperation.

If Sakurai and Musashi are really the kind of people who keep their word, and I can use a drinking contest to make them withdraw voluntarily, that would be great. If not, they will definitely leave after drinking, leaving me here so that we can have a frank talk.

Am I right?"

Igor's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration, and he nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is indeed the youngest Five Elders in history. In terms of partners, I do tend to favor Daxia, but unfortunately..."

Igor looked around.

All his subordinates retreated tactfully.

Chen Mo also waved his hand: "You guys go back to the hotel and rest first, I'll talk to Igor."

Zhuge Wan'er and the others knew that the matter was of great importance. Except for Leng Feng and the other bodyguards who were guarding in the distance, everyone else went back to the hotel obediently.

Only Chen Mo and Igor were left in the tent.

The barbecue on the table was still sizzling with oil. Igor cut the barbecue for Chen Mo, poured the wine, and said with a smile: "Let's drink and talk at the same time."

After three or five glasses of wine and the delicious, pure, natural and pollution-free game, the two gradually started talking to each other.

"Mr. Xie Qin, I think with your intelligence, you should know that what I said before was not alarmist. And you also intend to cooperate with Daxia, so why don't you just make an official announcement instead of getting involved with Mo Xian and Sakurai Musashi?"

Chen Mo said doubtfully.

Igor sighed, drank the wine in front of him, and said quietly: "The reason is very simple. The internal strife in the Russian bear country is serious and it has been divided into two factions. One faction prefers to compete with the West and stop being a dog, while the other faction prefers to continue to cooperate with the West. After all, they have been cooperating for so many years and the situation cannot be easily changed."

Chen Mo took a big bite of the barbecue and frowned, "You've all been sanctioned like this, but there are still people who cling to illusions and pin their hopes on outsiders? Isn't that pure idiocy?"

Igor sneered, "No one is stupid. Those people made a fortune early on by taking advantage of the dividends from the development of the Bear Country, and then sent their children and grandchildren to foreign countries, transferred their assets abroad, and planned to retire abroad in the future.

In this situation, do you think they will give up their own interests to fulfill the national interest?

I even heard with my own ears that some Russians are clamoring, saying that when personal interests conflict with national interests, of course their personal interests should be prioritized. At worst, they can just change their nationality. After all, people only have one life to live, and their personal interests are above all else.

There are quite a few people in the Russian Federation who have this kind of thinking.

And…I don’t think this problem is unique to the bear countries.”

Chen Mo was silent for a moment.

He thought of the Hong Kong stock market war a few years ago, and the food war a few years ago...

In those battles, there were quite a few internal enemies like Shang Li.

When foreigners come to short sell, people like Shang Li can even join in and make money.

Igor poured a glass of wine for the silent Chen Mo and continued, "This foreign trade cooperation is just a superficial appearance, but in reality it is an exchange of interests between major countries.

For example, ports, natural gas, currency interoperability agreements, etc., each one is extremely important.

As I just said, there are many people in our bear country who lean towards the West, and the resistance is unprecedentedly great. It is not that I can decide to cooperate with Daxia just by saying so. This requires an opportunity.

But where is the opportunity? To be honest, I don’t know where it is now…”

After saying that, Igor drank two glasses of wine in depression.

I think he is also very dissatisfied with the situation in the Bear Country.

The faction he represents wants to stand up, but some people insist on kneeling. Moreover, kneeling is not enough for them, they also have to force other people who want to stand up to kneel down.

"Maybe……"

Chen Mo thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I can create this opportunity."

Igor looked up, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Mr. Chen, I think you'd better stop joking. This kind of thing, even I and the Great Emperor Mao Xiong, as well as many Mao Xiong families and high-ranking officials, can't handle it, what can you, an outsider, do?"

"It's very simple. There is a saying in Daxia: 'The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.'

The reason for their opposition boils down to two words: interests! "

"If I let them see that not only will Westerners not guarantee their interests, but can even wipe out their overseas assets at any time, do you think they will still come forward to stop us?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Igor's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he asked with interest: "What do you want to do?"

Chen Mo said mysteriously: "I can't reveal it for now. This requires your cooperation, Mr. Xie Qin. As long as you cooperate well, I promise to facilitate our cooperation this time."

"That's no problem. Can you tell me how to do it?" Igor asked.

"First, spread the news and spread rumors that we have reached a cooperation agreement in private, and it is a strategic cooperation to build an Eastern joint economic entity to compete with Western foundations and the Ou Alliance.

I will make arrangements for what to do next.”

Chen Mo said with a smile.
