Renat Akhmetov
Next to an airport in Ukraine, several people hurried in.
There are nearly 30 planes parked at the airport, all of which are for these people.
These people, without exception, are rich people, who hold power, wealth, and countless politicians.
It is an exaggeration to say that any small action they make may affect the situation in this country.
Before they were powerful and arrogant.
But at this moment, their faces were panicked, like trees falling down, trying to escape from the country they had lived in for a long time.
Private jet
One of them shouted anxiously at the others:
"Hurry up, we're running out of time, get my luggage up quickly, it's too late to leave."
The man who shouted was Ukraine's richest man, his name was Renato.
He is not the richest man, not only rich, he also controls the country's parliamentarians.
Normally, he should not be afraid of anything, but now he is running like a rat crossing the street.
He never expected that the national defense line, which had previously been considered steel, was now like a paper paste, and it would be broken in one stab.
Armored vehicles
Unlike some of the richest people in other countries, some are political families and some are commercial families.
But he came from a poor background, but he became the most influential person in the country besides the president.
He was also at the top of the Forbes Rich List and also has a world-famous soccer team in his hands.
He has also been accused of having close ties with Putin and was once censored.
How did he go from a humble little man to a big man with power and wealth now?
Why are you desperately trying to flee the country now?
"Humble and nameless" was undoubtedly the most appropriate adjective for him, and even to a lesser extent.
Unlike some of the richest people in the family are in business, the son inherits the father's business.
He can be described as empty-handed and self-made.
He was born into a poor family, and his father's face hadn't been clean since he could remember.
Every day my father went out early and came back late, smelling of dust and sweat.
His city has the largest coal mine in the country and the largest science and technology center, but this has nothing to do with the fact that he is poor and has nothing to do with it.
miner
His father was just an ordinary coal digger in the coal mine, doing the work of the underworld every day and taking the salary of the yang.
My mother was an ordinary clerk in the store, although her parents had worked very hard.
But the salary is still very low, and he and his brother and parents can only squeeze into a dim 10 square meters of broken house.
Want to go to the bathroom? I'm sorry, you'll have to run to the mine before you solve it.
Whenever there is wind and rain, the house begins to resemble a water curtain hole.
Whenever he encountered such a situation, his father began to scream and scold:
"Damn God, this bad weather is hell out there."
house
Watching his father complain about the weather, a seed was planted in his heart at this time.
"I must get ahead and not let my parents live such a bad life again."
Dreams are always beautiful and great, but in the face of harsh realities, dreams are as fragile as mirrors.
A humble commoner like him, at that time, solving the problem of food and clothing was a problem, and talked about lofty ideals.
Without any background, without any network resources, it was more difficult for him to turn over than to ascend to the sky.
But he was not crushed by the cruelty of reality, but instead fought with his brother by fist.
Street thugs
As a child, he showed a difference from other peers.
He has carried a "fierce" on his body since he was a child.
His teachers once commented on him: "Witty and intelligent, but particularly grumpy." ”
Sometimes he wouldn't go to class and go crazy all day, coming home with his nose bleeding.
His wanderings on the street taught him that fists sometimes worked better than words.
Even if he fights and mixes on the street, it does not delay his talent in learning.
Someone once said that if you are not afraid of small, you are afraid of small with culture.
Ukrainian children
He is talented in his studies and works exceptionally hard.
If he is not usually grumpy, he will mix in the street, and he is no different from excellent students.
But it was this fierceness in street learning that created his legendary life.
Because of his excellent grades, he successfully entered the university after graduating from high school.
His dream was to become a big boss and make a lot of money, so he studied economics.
He graduated with honors, but did not enter a large company as a clerk.
Instead, he went into a small shop and became a freight worker.
In the eyes of outsiders, this small shop can not be more ordinary.
Even exaggerated, this shop looks a little shabby.
The categories operated by small shops are actually very small, selling some ordinary fabrics and some daily necessities of ordinary people.
Don't look at the small surprise of this store, but the owner behind him is a big man in black and white.
The person in charge of the shop was the leader of the Ukrainian underworld at the time, Bragin.
Small shop
At that time, Bragin could be described as an infinite scenery, and the number of people under him was innumerable.
Some of these people follow him because they are forced to live helplessly, and some follow him because they worship him.
In the eyes of these subordinates, this person is his own patron, like a Ukrainian godfather.
These people even do things for him and even give up their lives, just so that they can be appreciated by him.
Exaggeratedly, as long as you get a little favor from him, the whole family can ascend to heaven and become celebrities.
But Renato didn't think so in his heart, he had his own calculations in his heart.
Gangster
At that time, he graduated from college, and unlike other, he had a rich and professional theoretical knowledge.
Because he had wandered the streets in the early years, his courage was no worse than those of.
The courage and strategy made him feel good when he joined the gang, and it was very smooth.
Such a rare talent as him stands out among many younger brothers with his own talents.
Gradually, he was well known to the boss, and finally became the boss's most trusted person.
Bragin was very fond of this man and entrusted some of the business in his hands to him.
Gang members
And most of these businesses are illegal, shady businesses, and every penny earned is stained with black.
At this time, he was needed to help the business move on the edge of the law.
His knowledge helped him get bigger and bigger, and the authorities scratched his head and couldn't get his grip.
Not only is he particularly good in business, but he is also very frightening when he plays hard.
He rushed into the local cloth association with an iron rod and his little brother, shouting and scolding, just to control the price of cloth.
In order to classify the sales rights of daily necessities as a gang, he will also "politely" invite local leaders to "drink tea".
cloth
At that time, there were many of his men, who ran amok in the streets and became a force.
The authorities can only watch him manipulate the market, black and white, but there is nothing they can do.
Such outstanding achievements have made him highly prestigious in the gang and echoed everything.
In this way, he went from a gang-starting gangster to a leader.
In the end, he became the gang's veritable second-in-command, one step away from the peak of power.
Although his life was very moist, his ambitions did not stop there, and after that he set off even greater waves.
Ukrainian gangsters
Fast forward to 1991, when the country disintegrated and the situation began to be turbulent.
At that time, the society was very chaotic, but in this chaotic environment, one after another was born, and one legend after another was written.
Among these big people, Renato naturally occupies a place.
It coincided with a radical change in the country, and some companies even began to move toward privatization.
This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for him, the Donetsk Bank, which he took the opportunity to set up.
Because I am in the second in command, with power and wealth in my hands, it is easy to acquire a company.
Donetsk
By virtue of his power and money, he acquired many mining companies.
He became a veritable coal boss, and after that his path took off.
At this time, his left hand is power, and his right hand is wealth.
But what makes him unhappy is that no matter how good his development is, he is only a second-in-command.
There is also a peak of power standing on his head, and that is Rabkin.
At this moment, he was eager to move, fantasizing about the moment when he stood on the top.
Ukrainian coal mines
In 1994, the position of the big guy began to waver.
One day Bragin took a group of people to his business to inspect.
Suddenly, several people rushed out, pulled out automatic rifles and began to strafe at them.
The gun spat out a merciless tongue of fire, and the gang was terrified by the situation.
Although he had tried his best to dodge, only Bragin escaped.
Bragin knew he was being targeted, and even suspected that there was a traitor in the gang, revealing his itinerary.
shoot
After that, in order to protect himself, his itinerary was known only to his cronies in the gang.
Although it was very cautious, it was not long before the bell of doom rang.
A year after the incident, he followed his cronies to the soccer team he had invested in.
He was holding a cigar in his hand and laughing with others.
Suddenly, with a thud, a wave of heat struck, and he was killed on the spot.
Just like this generation of tyrants, the gangster boss died.
Football team
The boss is dead, and the second boss seems to be taken for granted.
Renato cried sadly at Bragin's funeral.
Some speculate that he planned these two events in order to be able to ascend to power.
But the truth of the matter is probably known only to Renato himself.
At this moment, he is at the peak of power, but at this moment there is a thorny problem in front of him:
"Where does the gang's future go?"
Because his movement was too big, he had already been targeted by the Ministry of the Interior.
In the list of crime bosses released by the government, his name is at the top of the list.
At this moment, he knew that if he did not make up his mind to transform, his fate might be even worse than That of Bragin.
So he put away his fierceness and began to put on the mask of gentleness.
He began to make a lot of donations, and he gave his impassioned speeches at major charity galas.
Not only that, he also attended various public welfare activities and cared for the common people.
His business also began to transform, escaping from illegal hooks.
It began to involve wind power, natural gas, and other energy-related aspects.
His football team has also become a well-known strong team under his investment, and its strength far exceeds that of the national football team.
This series of actions has allowed him to be washed clean, and his company has even been rated as the most socially responsible enterprise.
He was dressed in a suit, gentle and elegant, and showed the style of a successful person between conversations, and there was a lot hidden under this white face.
Only he understood how much black his hands had been stained.
He is also the king of coal and steel, relying on his own strength to manipulate the country's parliamentarians.
In Congress, there are more than 60 members of parliament who can be said to be his concubines.
Manipulating legal policies, even national elections, is what he often does.
But now that the army is under pressure, he can run faster than anyone.
At that time, the scenery was infinite, and the more it could set off the despair of running away now.
It is really regrettable that such a big man is now holding his head and scurrying.
