The Washington Post: "Yesterday at noon, the joint naval fleet of Ukraine and Russia had a standoff with Turkey's Third Fleet in Turkish waters. The confrontation lasted for three hours! According to incomplete statistics, Ukraine and Russia deployed a total of three nuclear-powered cruisers and eight modern-class destroyers..." 

The Times (UK): "Faced with the joint Ukrainian-Russian naval fleet, the Turkish navy backed down! Reliable sources claim that Russia even dispatched two Tu-160 strategic bombers, intending to threaten Turkey with potential strikes on its homeland to force its government into submission..." 

As these reports flooded the media, the reputation of the joint Ukrainian-Russian naval fleet spread rapidly—even reaching some remote nations in Africa. 

For many, the most excited and elated people were none other than the citizens of Ukraine and Russia. However, outside of these two countries, the most thrilled were undoubtedly the Chinese people! 

Whether watching the news or reading online reports, nearly everyone was filled with excitement and gratitude for what Russia and Ukraine had done. 

"Wow! Russia and Ukraine are seriously powerful! Sending out three nuclear-powered cruisers and eight modern-class destroyers—scaring Turkey so much that they didn't even dare to make a move!" 

"The Tu-160 supersonic bombers are absolutely insane! Just fly over Turkish airspace with two nuclear warheads, and their aircraft carriers will back off immediately. These Turks just don't know when to quit!" 

"So, does this mean we're finally getting our own aircraft carrier? Just thinking about it gets me excited! With an aircraft carrier in our fleet, plus those big destroyers we purchased, let's see if the Japanese and South Korean navies dare to act tough in the future! We'll crush them!" 

After carefully reading through the news online, Mavi rubbed his eyes and closed his laptop. 

Once again, he had played a key role behind the scenes without seeking recognition. 

In his previous life, it had taken over a year and a half to resolve this issue. But now, in just five days, it had been handled successfully. 

As a Russian with a Chinese soul, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction… or rather, a mix of emotions. 

Beyond resolving the crisis, the display of power by the joint Ukrainian-Russian navy had drawn the attention of weaker military nations worldwide. Some even reached out to Russia and Ukraine, hoping to visit and purchase weaponry to strengthen their own military forces. 

### A Call of Gratitude 

Not long after the conflict with Turkey ended, Mavi received a phone call from Elder Yuan, whom he had briefly met once before. To express his gratitude, Elder Yuan personally reached out. 

"Mavi, I truly appreciate everything you've done for our country! Vice Premier Sniezhana told me that the strategy to resolve this issue came from you..." 

Hearing this, Mavi smiled slightly. 

"You flatter me, Elder Yuan. This was simply my duty! After all, your navy has helped us in the past as well. Helping each other is only natural." 

"Haha! That's great to hear! If you ever have time, come visit China—we'll make sure to give you a warm welcome!" Elder Yuan said enthusiastically over the phone. 

Sometimes, friendships between nations are that simple: I help you when you're in trouble, and you help me when I need it. 

### Big News from Lamborghini 

After hanging up with Elder Yuan, Mavi received another call—this time from Lamborghini, the company he had acquired last year. It seemed like good news was coming his way. 

"Hello, Chairman Mavi! This is Stephan, President of Lamborghini. We've completed the modifications and design for the Lamborghini Reventón concept car as per your request. When would you like to unveil it? Should we aim for the Geneva Motor Show early this year?" 

The "Lamborghini Reventón concept car" he referred to wasn't just any ordinary sports car that could be driven on the road. Instead, it was a blend of imagination and reality—more of a conceptual masterpiece showcasing futuristic and innovative design, reflecting humanity's aspirations for cutting-edge automobiles. 

Mavi pondered for a moment. 

Right now, European countries harbored deep hostility toward him, practically embedded in their blood. While unveiling the Reventón at the Geneva Motor Show was possible, Mavi had no intention of selling these limited-edition hypercars to Europeans. 

"The unveiling can be scheduled for next week—there's no need to wait for the Geneva Motor Show. And don't hold the event in Europe either," Mavi said thoughtfully over the phone. 

On the other end, Stephan was baffled. If not in Geneva and not in Europe, then where? North America? 

"Chairman Mavi, should we arrange it for North America then?" Stephan asked, still puzzled. 

"No, not North America either. Hold the event in Russia and China," Mavi replied indifferently. 

If the EU wanted to boycott him, he would boycott them right back. 

After all, a hypercar like the Reventón had no trouble selling. The real losers would be the wealthy European elites who couldn't get their hands on one. 

In his previous life, all limited-edition sports cars were snapped up by wealthy buyers in Europe and North America before they even hit the market—leaving no chance for Chinese buyers. 

This time, Mavi refused to follow the same pattern. 

If necessary, he could push things even further. If they provoked him enough, he could preemptively develop models that weren't even released in his past life—such as the Aston Martin Vulcan, Ferrari LaFerrari, and Porsche 918. 

He could have Lamborghini design and manufacture them all ahead of time. 

After all, it was just a matter of throwing money at the problem! If two automotive research labs weren't enough, he'd build two more. If four weren't enough, he'd build eight. 

By the time he exhausted all possible options, European automakers would be on the brink of collapse. 

"Understood, Chairman Mavi. I'll make the arrangements immediately," Stephan said. 

Although he didn't fully understand Mavi's reasoning, as an executive, it wasn't his place to question orders. He simply followed instructions. 

 Back to a Leisurely Life 

After finishing the call with Lamborghini's president, Mavi lay back on his bed like a carefree slacker. 

Next door, his two pets—a tiger cub named "Little Jumper" that had grown to the size of a husky and a snow-white polar bear named Winnie—were lounging around. 

He had raised them both since they were little, yet lately, they had been ignoring him completely. 

Even when they were lying around in his room, they refused to snuggle up to him anymore. 

"Winnie! What are you two sneaking around for?"
