Once I read a book by Oleg Bramin and Lada Mazokhina “I remember everyone who never called me back”. And I liked the book: an interesting story, a dynamic narrative, plot swings like on a roller coaster ...

But if you generalize, the story is about an entrepreneur with irrepressible imagination and energy, who in a few years built the largest car dealer in the Arkhangelsk region, and in crisis.
