During the Chinese New Year, Du Suo also rushed back and reported to Yang Dongxu in person about the training of the Blade Security Company on the Russian side.

Since the completion of the large quadrangle, because it is too big, it always feels deserted, this year it has finally become lively, more than ten people come in and out, the courtyard is very festive, and it no longer looks so empty.

If it is said that Zhou Ya and Ran Feifei are also busy in the small courtyard, Yang Dongxu and his godfather eat ready-made. Then Ran Feifei, who is called her aunt and grandmother in the big quadrangle, obviously has nothing to do, and Zhou Ya has nothing to do.

Zhou Ya seemed to have been used to this for a long time, so she went to the study and took a book to read. Ran Feifei asked Yang Dongxu to take her around the big courtyard.

"Why do they call you young master?" After hesitating for a moment, Ran Feifei still asked the doubts in her heart.

After being frightened, Yang Dongxu didn't need to shout so much, and if there were guests coming to the door in the future, the man would call Mr., the woman would call the girl, or the lady would just do it.

Cui Ma didn't insist and changed her mouth immediately, it seems that except for Yang Dongxu's title, they insisted on not changing their mouths, and other people's titles are not so rigid, for example, the title of Zhou Ya has changed from aunt and grandmother at the beginning to Miss Ya.

"They are all old people from my master's old man's side, so they are a little old-fashioned in their thinking and living habits. Therefore, in terms of doing things and calling people, they all maintain the etiquette of the previous big families. Yang Dongxu said.

"Oh. Ran Feifei nodded as if she didn't understand, not dwelling on this matter. As long as those people don't call their aunts and grandmothers.

After a stroll around the backyard again, the front yard shouted for dinner, and Yang Dongxu took his aunt to the dining room.

"Come and sit, our family doesn't have so many rules, Cui's mother and Aunt Hua don't be busy, they've been busy for a year, sit down and eat together." When he arrived at the dining room, Yang Dongxu called Du Suo and Cui Ma over.

looked at Yang Dongxu, and then at Old Man Xuan, Du Suo sat down with a smile, and also beckoned a few other people to sit down: "Sit down, don't be so restrained, you don't know what the young master's temper is." ”

After hesitating, a few people sat down slowly, and after getting along with Yang Dongxu for a long time, they naturally knew that the young master of their family had a good temper, and they were very kind to their own people, who had never had so many twists and turns.

Old man Xuan naturally sits on the main seat regardless of age or seniority, followed by Yang Dongxu's grandfather Zhou Yiren, according to the seniority, Zhou Ya should sit in the third position, then Ran Feifei, and then Yang Dongxu's turn.

But this is just a general rule, although Yang Dongxu doesn't care about this, he still sits in the third position under Cui's mother's arrangement. Some rules can be relaxed, but some rules can't be broken. Yang Dongxu is the third most noble person in this family, and this generation and age have nothing to do with it, so he naturally has to sit in the third position.

"Come on, come on, have a drink, the year is busy until late, and finally at the end of the year, you can relax for a few days, let go of eating, let go of drinking, your young master has money to eat. Yang Dongxu raised his wine glass, and Du Suo wanted to stand up, so he waved his hand to stop it.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table was no longer so formal, except for Du Fei, who didn't talk much, and Ran Feifei, who came over for the first time, everyone else exchanged with each other.

Zhou Ya, who is elegant in front of outsiders, and even a little cold, looks very quiet at this time, and when she feels good about what she eats, she will give Yang Dongxu a little over.

Although he didn't do anything to pick fish bones for Yang Dongxu, he peeled several shrimp shells. Cui Ma and Aunt Hua, who didn't want to throw away all the rules at the dinner table, originally wanted to serve Yang Dongxu for dinner, but they didn't come up to join in the fun when they saw this scene.

Ran Feifei looked at Zhou Ya, and then at her eldest nephew, with a little deep expression, but she was not too surprised. Because as early as when she lived in the small courtyard, she was used to Zhou Ya's doting on Yang Dongxu.

Yang Dongxu is really at the level of a young master at home, and when he opens his mouth to stretch out his hand, Zhou Ya almost chews the food for him and then feeds it. Not only her, Zhou Yiren seems to be used to his daughter's own spoiling of her own grandson for so many years, although sometimes it is a little tasteful, but it is just to add homework to Yang Dongxu, and his daughter is reluctant to reprimand.

At the end of the meal, Old Man Xuan and Zhou Yiren went to play chess next to them. Zhou Yiren, who has no spare time all year round, even works on weekends to deal with documents, allows himself to be free in the past few days at the end of the year, and works almost all the other time, and even his doting daughter can sometimes be ignored.

Seeing that Yang Dongxu seemed to have something to talk about with Zhou Ya, after drinking a few glasses of rice wine during the meal, Ran Feifei, who was a little confused, went back to the room to sleep.

"The emphasis was on the Soviet Union...... Why?" In the study, Yang Dongxu leaned on the Taishi chair, Zhou Ya was originally sitting next to him and was making tea, seeing Yang Dongxu frowning, he seemed to have a little headache, walked over and let his head rest in his arms, and slowly helped Yang Dongxu massage.

I don't know why, I have to drink a glass a week, about two taels of tiger whip medicine and wine to assist in practice, it stands to reason that the amount of alcohol should be good after so many years of exercise.

But the fact is the opposite, drinking beer or something is okay with these low-alcohol drinks, and he is a little dizzy after more than 50 glasses of alcohol. So those old cellars and purees that were bought at a lot of money were cheaper than Old Man Xuan.

But fortunately, Old Man Xuan is not interested in foreign wine, so some of the foreign wine collected by the Tuofu family, such as Lafei or something, is stored in the basement, otherwise there is an old wine worm at home, and the child hates it so much that he can't keep any inventory.

"I've been following the political situation in the Soviet Union for the past few years, and something might happen there. Yang Dongxu closed his eyes and enjoyed Zhou Ya's massage, and the body fragrance on Zhou Ya's body penetrated into his nostrils, making his body more relaxed.

"What's going on, what's going on? We're going to divest?"

"It is impossible to withdraw capital, our stall is not small, and the loss of withdrawal is too great at once, aren't you familiar with Toy's side? Find a way to get a loan from the Soviet bank, the best one is interest-free, the interest rate is reasonable, and even a little higher can be accepted.

In short, you can get as much as you can. But the contract must specify that the repayment will be made in rubles, and not in other currencies, and even less in dollars. That is to say, you can't move how many rubles you want to borrow and how many rubles you want to repay, and you can decide the rest. ”

"Then what are you doing with so many loans?" his chest against the back of Yang Dongxu's head bent over, poured out a cup of tea from the teapot next to him, touched it with his lips and felt that the temperature was just right, and brought it to Yang Dongxu's mouth.

Slippery ...... Yang Dongxu sucked the tea in the teacup into his mouth, and said without breaking open at all with his closed eyes: "You have also learned some currency exchange rates, and you should know that the currency will depreciate when the country is in chaos."

Therefore, the 1 ruble we get now can be exchanged for about 2 yuan, and when the Soviet Union is in chaos, this ratio may become 1:1, or even 1 to 0.0 tenths. So take a loan in rubles now, and although you will repay so many ruble loans after a while, you can get a lot of benefits from it. ”

"That's the world's largest power, a military power that can compete with the United States, will it really be chaotic?" Zhou Ya on the Soviet side, also passed over from time to time.

Especially at the end of the year, in order to check Yang Dongxu's assets in the Soviet Union, she lived there for nearly a month, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with that big country.

Yang Dongxu grabbed Zhou Ya's hand, pulled her to the couch next to her, and asked her to sit down, Yang Dongxu lay down and pillowed her thighs, which made her more comfortable.

Seeing that Yang Dongxu arched on his leg like a puppy and found a more comfortable position, Zhou Ya smiled and pulled Yang Dongxu's ears, and then continued to massage his head.

"Do you know what Xiushui Trade traded from the Soviet Union?" he didn't answer Zhou Ya's question just now, but asked another question.

"Timber is shipped to Japan, some steel cars are shipped back to China, and there are some fertilizer production lines, and it seems that I am talking about automobile production recently...... "Xiushui Trade's account also needs to be verified by Zhou Ya, so she has a bottom about what she has traded.

"It's not just these things, didn't Toy's uncle Ivan come to Yanjing again some time ago to communicate? The things he proposed to trade also include arms, such as tanks and airplanes. Military technology is a bit troublesome, and it's even more sensitive, but even then he didn't say anything to death, who else has room for content. ”

"In exchange for daily necessities?" Zhou Ya had a shocked look on her face.

"Well, it's a daily necessities exchange. The price of direct payment is too high, and the settlement of daily necessities is cost-effective for both parties. The light industry on our side developed very quickly, and daily necessities were cheap, but on the Soviet side, they were extremely scarce, and you know to what extent they were scarce. Therefore, with daily necessities, they can make a lot of money when they ship back to China, and both families are happy. ”

"This won't be an accident, right?" Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu worriedly, she was shocked that Ivan was going to make an arms deal with Xiushui Trade, but she was even more afraid that something would happen to Yang Dongxu's side.

"There's no problem, I'll talk to my grandfather about this matter, arms are a time bomb, they can only be put in the hands of the army, and whoever touches them in the country will die.

But this is not the point of what I said about this matter, but I am telling you about this matter to let you understand how far the Soviet regime has become.

The army that defends the country secretly sells military supplies to make money and stuffs them into their own pockets. And it's not anything like leftovers that are sold, but planes and tanks, and that's just Ivan's side, and I don't know what others have sold.

So what do you think is the future of an army with such a commander? Now that the army that defends the country is like this, do you think the country will be peaceful?" These words are not only to Zhou Ya, but also to Zhou Yiren.

It's been 88 years since the turn of the year, and it's been a few years since the polar bear in the north fell a big heel, so Yang Dongxu not only wants to make a profit for himself, but also hopes that the country can make a profit.

You must know that even if the collapse of the Soviet Union has passed to the Russian era, military technology is still the world's top, even if you use weapons and equipment produced decades ago, you still want to fight that.

If China wants to rise, it will not work without sufficient technological reserves. He, a businessman, faced with such a sensational event in the world, can only pick up some money behind his ass at present, and he can't even count as a mouthful of soup. If the government can quietly join in, then it will be able to get some meat to eat.

"Then will it be ...... for us to do this" Zhou Ya was still a little worried.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, their own people, especially those high-ranking officials, are making a lot of money to damage the public and private, we have normal transactions, and there are contracts in black and white, what is there to be afraid of?

Besides, the worst result is that Xiushui Trade is blacklisted by the Ministry of Commerce of the Soviet Union, and it will not be able to do business there in the future. This loss is a drop in the bucket compared to the money we can get, and it doesn't matter if we shut down the Silk Trade. ”
