Chapter 1603: Chapter 765: Polar Bear Ivan_3

"Why do you say that?" Yan Fei expressed his surprise.

"You know what? Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, I spent my time on the battlefield." Ivan stopped smiling and spoke seriously. "I think I survived and lived well thanks to a miraculous sixth sense."

Yan Fei felt awkward all over. Someone as burly as you talking about a sixth sense, that’s a bit off, isn’t it?

"I can feel it. From the first glance I had of you, I could tell, you are not as harmless as you appear. Just as I can sense that the Gallic Rooster always feels I am like a polar bear."

"..." Yan Fei was speechless. Your sixth sense is quite accurate. Even Yan Fei could tell that Mr. Madan, despite his polite manner, probably didn’t have much affection for Mr. Ivan.

Raising his glass to Ivan, Yan Fei then took a big gulp, pretending to feel deceived: "I must say, your appearance fooled me!"

"Haha!" Ivan burst into laughter again. "I’ve found since I started doing business that the business world and the battlefield are the same. A qualified businessman must be like a sniper on the battlefield, with sufficient camouflage."

"Is this why you said we would become friends?" Yan Fei laughed.

"Exactly. I’ve said it, even if we can’t work together, we can still be friends." Ivan nodded proudly and raised his glass. "A toast to what I said."

"Cheers!" Yan Fei clinked glasses with him.

To the average person, Yan Fei’s physique would definitely be considered standard. But comparing himself to Ivan, he suddenly felt he was quite a bit smaller. At first glance, anyone would think that Ivan was just a rough guy. Who would have thought, after chatting, that this guy who could attend a conference owed his success not to his horse-running arms, but to his brains.

If taken seriously, Ivan’s demeanor was a bit of ’Little friendship but serious words.’ However, it depended on the person. To Yan Fei, he felt that this polar bear was pretty good. It was best to be frank, as being polite was just a waste of time.

The two then casually started chatting about everything. Ivan got excited talking about how he had to Start from scratch in the beginning, then doing business on the border between China and Russia... Right, his very first business was collecting ’tolls’ with his men. It was truly starting from nothing—other than the gun he carried on his shoulder, he had nothing else.

Yan Fei was noncommittal about this. Back then, trafficking goods from China to the big goose was a lucrative trade, and many were willing to pay the toll. After all, in those circumstances, even with that extra toll, many people still made a fortune in that era, counting money until their hands cramped.

Yan Fei could guess the rest. This guy, having collected tolls, found it unsatisfying. Seeing others make so much while he, armed with a gun, only collected so little, he decided to dive into the businesses himself.

After talking for a long time, they didn’t discuss business cooperation, but Yan Fei wasn’t in a hurry. Mr. Madan had said not to be too utilitarian. Maybe it’s also good to meet someone this interesting.

If the enthusiastic Ivan knew that Yan Fei just thought he was ’interesting,’ his excitement would probably be halved!

It really is hard to fathom a person’s mind; there’s no falsity in that saying.
