Where Are They Now?

Alexander Grekov

Interview # 1

We are happy to have you here, and..

Full name, please.

Alexander Grekov. *waits patiently for next question*

Interesting name. Any particular meaning behind your name?

None. I merely belong to the Grekov family - one of the most influential families in Russia.

I heard about your growing business. Can you share with us a few of your plans for Russian Roulette?

*chuckles* Why would I share my business plans with you? The competition is certainly going to keep an eye out on any article with me in it, which means I should avoid revealing too much.

Are you training someone to take over your business? If so, how is the training going?

There is Andrew Keane who is picking things up faster than I can teach him. That child has a gift and he is not afraid of working and improving on it. One day, I am certain he will make a respectable businessman just like me.

As a business man. What advice would you share to young and upcoming business students?

*Straightens up in his seat and looks directly at the camera* Stop slacking off and get to work. The more time you waste doing nothing, the more money you will lose. It is simple as that.

Being one of the available bachelors, are you seeing someone special?

No. I believe that being tied down to a single woman is not the best way for me to be.

Your fans would like to know what kinda of woman are you attracted too, if you don't mind sharing with them?

I don't mind at all. *Starts counting on fingers* Busty, nice ass, good figure, not a redhead.

Do you have any habits or pastimes?

I do. In my spare time, I do my taxes. *Thinks for a moment* Other times, I drink scotch.

What are you doing in your life right now? Any uncompleted dreams?

Perhaps expanding into the Asian market would be the next goal for me. I should brush up on my Mandarin.

As a successful gentleman, what life advice would you give young adult men? Young women?

The only advice I would give is: stop wasting your life. If you wish to succeed, learn to look forward and strive towards a goal. There will certainly be difficult times in life, but it is a fleeting thing for mortals. Instead of concentrating on meaningless grudges, why not make some money or learn business?

*Looks into the camera and gives best professional smile* I would also like to invite the viewers to my club, "Russian Roulette", in Dublin. Your first free drink of the night is on me. Don't forget to bring a friend or two along, after all, the more the merrier.
