Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 275 "275" King of War

"Hello, Mr. Yuri!"

Lin Yao walked quickly to a tall man with a distinctly Slavic appearance.

Yuri is a Slav, but during the Cold War, he and his parents had already used the identity of a squid to enter America.

He was actually born in Odessa.

"Who are you?" Yuri asked, somewhat surprised. He didn't recognize the man with the Asian face.

Moreover, none of his clients are from the East.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yao, and this is my wife, Hu Jing. You can also call her Doctor!"

"We are all arms dealers from Southeast Asia, and we've been waiting for you here!"

Yuri seemed a little surprised: "Wait for me, it seems we don't know each other, do we?"

“I don’t know him at all, but I’m sure we’ll become friends soon!” Lin Yao said to Yuri with a smile. “Would you do me the honor of having me treat you to a meal?”

Yuri had a good first impression of Lin Yao; he felt that Lin Yao was very much like a younger version of himself.

However, he wasn't so lucky; when he was young, he went to meet a powerful figure and was humiliated on the spot.

Yuri laughed: "I really enjoy making friends!"

Seeing that Yuri had agreed, Lin Yao immediately smiled.

They found a quiet spot and sat down.

After sitting down, Yuri asked curiously, "I'm not a famous person, how did Mr. Lin come to know me?"

"Haha, I learned about Mr. Yuri by chance during some previous transactions!" Lin Yao chuckled and said, "Mr. Yuri, you're here this time for the weapons in General Demitch's possession, right? I heard you have some family relationship with General Demitch?"

Hearing Lin Yao's words, the doctor finally understood why Lin Yao wanted to target Yuri.

The doctor looked surprised; he couldn't understand where Lin Yao had gotten this information from.

Yuri was equally surprised. He looked at Lin Yao in amazement and said, "Mr. Lin, your information network is truly impressive!"

Lin Yao laughed and said, "It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning!"

Yuri did not deny it, and said directly, "General Dimitri is my father's brother, so he's like a distant uncle to me!"

Lin Yao nodded: "We're not the only ones eyeing General Dimitri's weapons!"

Yuri frowned and said, "It seems quite a few people have received the message. Who else is there?"

“You must know this person, Simeon Wise!” Lin Yao said with a smile.

Yuri's face immediately darkened: "That old man!"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Yuri, I know you have this family relationship and you will definitely be able to snatch this batch of weapons from Weiss. However, this veteran arms dealer has close ties with the top officials in the United States."

"If you try to take it by force, I suspect... this guy won't let it go!"

Yuri nodded. After being humiliated by Weiss back then, Yuri had paid close attention to the old man.

This old guy is quite ruthless in his methods; several arms dealers who opposed him disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Yuri had taken the bait, Lin Yao deliberately said to Yuri, "Moreover, this Weiss has a lot of underhanded tricks up his sleeve. Many arms dealers who wanted to discuss cooperation with General Demitch have disappeared halfway through!"

"When my wife and I arrived, we were also attacked! It's highly likely that this old man was behind it; he loves to kick out his competitors first!"

Yuri thought for a moment and said, "You came to me just to deal with Weiss?"

“That’s right!” Lin Yao said with a smile. “Our business is all in Asia, which doesn’t conflict with your business. We are not competitors! Moreover, General Demitch has a very large stockpile of weapons. The three of us alone cannot take it all.”

Yuri stroked his chin, pondering. What Lin Yao said was indeed not a big problem.

He definitely couldn't finish all of Dimitch's stock by himself, and even if he came several times, he might not be able to finish it all.

And Weiss, that guy, not only humiliated me, but he's also a veteran arms dealer in America.

If we let him get involved, this business will be impossible to continue.

Yuri thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You guys are quite clever, but I don't necessarily have to cooperate with you."

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Indeed, we are not the only partner, but we have a vast market in Asia, ample funds and connections. What we lack now is just an opportunity!"

"Let me put it this way, our friendship must be very important to you! And... I'm quite aware of what that old man Weiss has been up to!"

Yuri stroked his chin. Lin Yao was indeed quite capable.

The intelligence-gathering methods they just demonstrated are not something an ordinary person could possess.

Moreover, Lin Yao and the doctor each control a different aspect of the business: one controls Asia's largest transit hub, and the other controls the arms trade throughout Southeast Asia.

Such a partner is exactly what Yuri needs.

Moreover, he hardly had to put any effort into this matter; he only needed to introduce the two to his Uncle Demitch.

It's a business that's incredibly profitable no matter how you look at it.

More importantly, having two such powerful allies makes dealing with that old guy Weiss much easier.

However, Yuri did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to Dr. Lin Yao, "I need to think about it for a while and I will give you an answer tomorrow!"

Lin Yao raised his glass and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem!"

After finishing their business, the two sides chatted for a while.

Yuri then got up and took his leave.

He certainly wouldn't believe Lin Yao's one-sided story; he needed to have someone investigate the matter.    
After Yuri left, the doctor asked Lin Yao curiously, "How did you know this guy's background?"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "It's a secret!"

"Hmph!" The doctor couldn't stand Lin Yao's mysterious act, so he snorted and went back to his room.

Lin Yao shamelessly followed.

The doctor immediately asked warily, "What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going back to my room to sleep!" Lin Yao said with a grin.

The doctor immediately said with a cold face, "Get out!"

"We agreed beforehand, you've been pretending to be my wife, so you have to keep it up! It wouldn't be good if people found out!" Lin Yao said with a wicked smile, putting his arm around the doctor.

The professor shoved Lin Yao away forcefully and then shut him out.

Once back in her room, she covered her burning cheeks to calm her racing heart.

……

After returning to his room, Yuri began investigating Lin Yao and the doctor.

As an international arms dealer, he naturally has his own intelligence channels.

Soon, the intelligence dealer sent over Lin Yao and Dr. Lin's information via fax.

After careful verification, it was found that Lin Yao was not bragging.

His information and the doctor's information were basically consistent.

And what happened in Odessa did indeed happen.

This made Yuri smile involuntarily.

So the next morning, an agreement was reached with Dr. Lin Yaohe.

The two will go together to see Yuri's uncle, General Demitch.

Although General Dimitri was a major general, there was no one in Odessa with a higher rank than him.

In addition, Odessa is a strategic location.

Therefore, he had an entire field army corps under his command, with about 100,000 men.

But since the fall of the Berlin Wall, these soldiers have not received their salaries.

All they had were large quantities of weapons and angry soldiers.

This is a fantastic combination for arms dealers.

Yuri informed General Dimitri in advance and told him that he would be bringing two friends with him.

Then we drove directly to the military base in Odessa.

After showing their identification and passing through the sentry post, the group met General Demitch.

General Demitch was a combat hero and highly respected in the army.

However, he himself was not tall, and his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles.

After embracing Yuri, the other party introduced them to General Dimitri: "These two are the friends I told you about, Mr. Lin, and his wife, Mrs. Lin!"

Upon hearing Yuri's introduction, the doctor rolled his eyes at Lin Yao and then pinched him hard.

However, the thick-skinned Lin Yao didn't care at all and extended his hand to shake hands with General Dimitri.

The group arrived at General Demitch's office, where Yuri placed a leather suitcase on his desk.

When the suitcase was opened, it contained stacks of brand-new US dollars.

Yuri explained the purpose of the group's visit directly to General Dimitri.

General Demitch was quickly drawn to the US dollars on the table; he was clearly very tempted by them.

I just haven't made up my mind yet.

After all, the Soviet Union was no longer around, so these soldiers had no reason to continue fighting.

Nothing could be more tempting than these fragrant US dollars.

However, General Dimitri was still undecided, so he said to Yuri, "I can't sell government assets to you privately! I have to report to my superiors!"

Yuri shrugged and said, "Report to whom? Moscow?"

After hearing this, General Demitch fell silent.

Now that Er Mao has separated from Da Mao, they no longer have any superiors.

General Dimitri picked up the flask and took a big gulp: "New leader, new banner."

Yuri laughed and said, "The new leader hasn't been chosen yet; they're busy fighting for power and vying for the mobilization villas on the Black Sea! Those villas are truly luxurious!"

As he spoke, Yuri poured himself a glass of vodka and continued, "The leaders you know are no longer involved, and those who are in charge know nothing! So, let's take a look at your inventory!"

Seeing Yuri's confident demeanor, the Doctor was pleasantly surprised.

She had been thinking about how to win over General Demitch, this stubborn man.

But to everyone's surprise, Yuri's few words were enough to sway the general.
