After enjoying a passionate and wonderful night, Mavi woke up the next morning and, unable to resist, went another "300 rounds" with Leouxia and Snejana. The three of them then slept until the afternoon before finally getting up to eat.
You really have to hand it to foreigners; they're just naturally open-minded and know how to enjoy themselves. They don't get too hung up on things that have happened. After all, you only live once, and if you miss a chance, you won't get another. Instead of constantly dwelling on what you can't let go of, it's better to just live in the moment.
Besides, Mavi is talented and handsome, so the two women didn't exactly lose out. Add to that the fact that Ukraine inherently has more women than men, where many guys who aren't exactly lookers manage to have a continuous rotation of girlfriends without pause.
So, taking everything into consideration, Mavi was a pretty good catch. At least, Leouxia and Snejana felt that it wasn't so bad...
Happy times always seem to fly by especially fast. Soon, the blissful life in Ukraine came to an end. As a 'reborn' person, Mavi naturally couldn't stop his forward momentum. After all, there were still so many things in this world he hadn't tried yet. Otherwise, he'd truly be letting down the opportunity that Heaven had given him.
"Ivan, get someone to contact China Mobile and China Unicom. Tell them we have a partnership to discuss," Mavi said lazily to his butler, lounging in his seat on the plane back to Russia.
At this point, the Google smartphone was already about 50% developed. It was time to start making some small arrangements in the domestic communications industry in China. As for Russian telecom companies, Mavi had already had his investment team start discussions about potential stakes two weeks prior.
However, compared to the Russian market, China, with its future population of 1.4 billion, was absolutely Mavi's top priority. He needed to go and talk to them personally.
"Understood, Young Master," Butler Ivan immediately used the satellite phone to contact the investment team established in the Asia-Pacific region. He instructed them to send someone to get in touch with China Mobile and China Unicom.
An hour later, at China Mobile's headquarters in Beijing, a tall female secretary in a bright suit arrived at the office of General Manager Wang Liang'an.
"Mr. Wang, we just received a call. An investor from Russia said he wants to discuss potential cooperation with our company. He's arriving in Beijing in three days. Do you think we should send someone to meet him?" The secretary asked respectfully after knocking and entering the General Manager's office.
"What kind of cooperation? Did they say on the phone? And who is this Russian investor?" China Mobile President Wang Liang'an asked the secretary from his leather chair.
"They didn't specify any details over the phone; they just said they'd discuss it in person. As for the investor's background, they're a multinational real estate company. The name is..." the secretary replied truthfully.
Because the investment team Mavi had set up in the Asia-Pacific region was mainly responsible for projects like the Zi Wan Luxury Homes in Shanghai, the shopping mall in the Huaihai Road business district, and the dozens of courtyard homes Mavi had purchased in Beijing (which weren't very well-known in Beijing), their listed background was as a real estate developer. It wasn't the famous Ma V Holding Group.
"A real estate developer? Okay, arrange for Little Ma to go meet him!" China Mobile President Wang Liang'an said to his secretary without thinking too much about it.
The "Little Ma" he referred to was the Operations Director of China Mobile. As for Wang Liang'an himself, he wasn't bothered to go to the airport to greet them. After all, the other party was just a real estate company he hadn't really heard of. Even if it was multinational, it was completely unrelated to their telecommunications industry. So, having the Director go meet them was more than sufficient.
"Alright, Mr. Wang, I understand," the secretary said, then closed the door behind her.
And so, three days later, at Beijing International Airport, China Mobile's Operations Director, Ma Guoqing, rushed to the airport in the company's small red Hongqi 7220 sedan used for guest reception, preparing to meet the Russian investor.
However, just as Ma Guoqing drove the sedan and arrived at the airport terminal, he was surprised to find that inside and outside the terminal, there were many fully armed police officers, seemingly imposing a security cordon.
"That's strange? There aren't any major events in Beijing today, are there? Why are there so many armed police?" Ma Guoqing wondered inwardly as he drove the small Hongqi towards the airport platform area. In the passenger seat sat the President's secretary, acting as a translator.
"The plane should be arriving in about 15 minutes," the secretary said, checking her makeup in a mirror, doing some final touch-ups. Whether it was a Russian foreign guest or an American visitor, her makeup had to be perfect.
"15 minutes? Plenty of time, then. The tarmac is just ahead," Operations Director Ma Guoqing, just like the secretary next to him, had no idea what kind of important figure they were about to meet.
In their subconscious minds, they still only thought the Russian real estate developer was just like any other company executive they'd met before, and that a 350,000 yuan small Hongqi 7220 was more than enough to pick them up.
However, before Mavi's plane even appeared in the sky above the airport, China Mobile's Operations Director Ma Guoqing saw a pure black Mercedes S600 parked on the tarmac, along with three Mercedes 230s.
The key wasn't the four Mercedes cars, but rather who was standing in front of them: it was none other than their mobile company's "rival," the former China Unicom...
"Huh? That person in the crowd over there, isn't that Mr. Fang Zhengde, the head of Unicom? Why is he here? Is he also here to meet the Russian investor?" Operations Director Ma Guoqing gripped the steering wheel, staring blankly. His voice, full of surprise, made the President's secretary sitting beside him also look up towards the front.
Just then, their gaze met that of China Unicom President Fang Zhengde, confirming each other's identity.

"Mr. Fang, that small Hongqi seems to be from the Mobile company. Why would they use that car to pick up a foreign guest?" After recognizing the person, a male assistant beside him quietly asked Fang Zhengde.
Compared to the investment inquiry call China Mobile received, Unicom, having been established a full 5 years earlier than China Mobile (at this time, China Mobile was still a private enterprise, not yet converted to a state-owned enterprise), had actually received a specific call from a superior department. The call hinted that this Russian foreign guest was relatively important and should be received ceremoniously, but not too ceremoniously, so as not to cause an adverse effect.
Thus, the scene of comparison currently unfolding...
"I don't know what's going on with them, maybe China Mobile's general manager is busy?" China Unicom President Fang Zhengde said, shaking his head slightly.
