Chapter 1545: The Old Farmer Wants to Seal the Knife
This is a reminder of Nong Bosheng's youth, he spent his youth in Moscow, singing "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow", I don't know if there was a blonde Russian girlfriend who took time out of the tank.
Well, the Russian girlfriend can be ignored, the international students of that year were basically not interested in that, diligently learning knowledge, and serving the country after returning to China is the mainstream.
Here Zhang Nan asked casually: "Brother-in-law, where have you lived?"
Then you have to stay for a few days to find out how you felt when you were young. ”
Nong Bosheng smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "I live in the Ukraine Hotel?
Don't be funny, I was a poor student 40 years ago, and the allowance given by the state didn't let me go to a big hotel. Besides, at that time, how could we be qualified to live in the Ukrainian Hotel, basically except for diplomats, even the Soviets themselves, if they did not have a high-grade administrative level, they would not be able to live in it if they had money.
But I really watched it come up layer by layer, and there were teachers in our school who were involved in the renovation of the hotel.
I remember that the opening of the hotel should be 57 years, and a group of old classmates and I were about to graduate and return to China at that time, so I gritted my teeth and went to the inside to be chic once.
Magnificent and atmospheric, there are a lot of artworks in it, especially the mural on the ceiling of the lobby is the most impressive.
It's funny to think about it, that trip was wide, I drank coffee in it, and I had a meal, and it was a bourgeois.
As long as you don't stay in the hotel, the hotel restaurant and club are still open to the public.
It's expensive, save a little, and eat up half a month's allowance for my little one time!"
Slowly recalling, everything was really good when I was young, and even Zhang Nan found it interesting to listen to.
At this moment, Zhang Nan felt very lucky, and he was younger twice in his life.
In the end, I listened to Nong Bosheng on the other end of the microphone and said: "Let us old guys live in the Ukraine Hotel, it's a waste of money." ”
"Hehe, I don't break the bank, it's my brother-in-law who treats him, and now the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow is his property. ”
"Huh?"
Of course, Nong Bosheng knew that this "brother-in-law" referred to Xiang Weirong.
"It's that Brother Guan bought the Ukraine Hotel some time ago, and now he will use it, and completely renovate the hotel in a few years. ”
The Empire State Building in New York is all owned by this Anan family, and it is said that it was bought by a spoof bet, and it is not too bizarre that Guan Xingquan bought the Ukraine Hotel and gave it to his most respected old squad leader, who is closer than his eldest brother.
Nong Bosheng did not dwell on the details of buying a hotel, "So that's the case."
I remember that Khrushchev guy was very interesting at that time, knowing that the housing conditions of the common people were poor, not only did he build countless five-story 'Khrushchev buildings' to improve the housing conditions of the residents, but also built many skyscraper-style apartments in Moscow.
Those houses looked at them from a distance, and they thought they were some kind of great hotels, main university buildings, but they turned out to be residential buildings.
I still remember that he should have converted many of the rooms in the two wings of the Grand Hotel in Ukraine into apartment buildings, did Xiao Guan buy them together?"
"I bought them all, and those residents gave subsidies that were almost double the real house prices, basically small houses for big houses, plus a subsidy for some hard currency dollars.
Now the ruble is not reliable at all, and it is easy to use the dollar in Moscow. ”
Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Nong Bosheng said: "If you have money, it's good to be free, I'm afraid that someone will raise the bar." ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Everything is going well, such good conditions are acceptable, isn't it?"
Can you accept it or not, the conditions already given are generous, coupled with the administrative pressure exerted by the government that wants to go crazy with dollars and the faint threat of the biggest gangsters, fools don't jump out to be nailers.
Moscow plays forced demolition, it is not simply a drama of demolishing houses and beating people, dare to play the evaporation of the world directly for you!
But there is no need to tell Nong Bosheng about this.
"By the way, I think of something. Brother-in-law, you are the first leader of Jiangnan sculpture, how about designing a new image sculpture for the hotel when the time comes?
You are proficient in Russian and Chinese urban sculpture, so it is just right to make a big one. ”
This Nong Bosheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take this job."
I learned this craft from the Soviet style, originated in Moscow, and let Moscow be the final end. ”
"No, brother-in-law, do you want to learn from Jin Yong's hand of sealing the pen?"
Nong Bosheng on the other end laughed "haha": "Seven or eight years ago, the trend of the domestic sculpture industry changed, and I almost had a large-scale sculpture that I hadn't made for five years.
The circle of large-scale sculpture in domestic cities is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, and the change is too fast, and my old thinking has been a little unable to keep up.
But then again, I can't understand any genre of many new sculptures now, and the old style is not popular, so I just rely on the old and sell the old and still have a little reputation.
But don't worry, the style of the Ukrainian hotel is very much in line with my usual design routine, as long as you and Wei Rong don't put a glass curtain wall on it, otherwise it will definitely get along.
Very good!
I will design and work on the new main sculpture of the Grand Hotel in Ukraine, and my teacher will be very happy if he is still alive. ”
But...
That professor would have gone to see Marx a long time ago, if he was still alive, he would have been a hundred years old, and it would be difficult for the Russians to live so long!
Sealing the pen and sealing the knife is very good, if it weren't for a bit of status in the rivers and lakes, it would become a joke.
Nong Bosheng is no problem, he has this status in the Chinese sculpture world, and the place where the knife is sealed in the end is still the place where he studied, and he has face when he says it!
His generation is diligent and conscientious, in fact, most people can't escape the word "fight", including Nong Bosheng.
This is said openly, not only does not show success, but is frank, in line with his consistent style.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, then hung up the phone, and tomorrow and tomorrow they will be able to go to Moscow.
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, there was no need to order, someone called Almaty, and soon someone would contact the visa departments of the two countries.
There is already a relationship, plus a little money, it's all trivial.
The bronze man didn't need to repack and pack carefully, so he carefully put the box back, and after the lid was nailed, he was transported back to the Ukrainian Hotel together with the other things he bought this time, and then unpacked and studied after Nong Bosheng and others arrived.
Zhang Nan called Alexander: "Tell the copper seller... What's it called?"
"Fedovsky Poronin, the owner. ”
"Let him come to the hotel tomorrow morning, I have something to talk to him. ”
"Okay, boss. Alexander said.
It is not too early, and the marketers will have already found two sets of medals and matching certificates belonging to the same person, and the highest honor in each set has reached the level of the Order of Lenin.
By tomorrow there should still be one or two sets, someone will deliver them, and one set is even a Hero of the Soviet Union who has been dead for many years.
If you say yes, price is a secondary issue.
As for the "large set" of Soviet medals and medals that Zhang Nan wants to collect, it will not be possible to get it in a while.
No matter how powerful these people in the market are, it will take some time.
Zhang Nan is not in a hurry, it is best to get it together before he leaves Moscow, it doesn't matter if he can't make it up for the time being, just get it together and hand it over to the person in charge here, and it will naturally be sent to himself.
I continued to walk again, because of the bronze man, which was a lot less fun to continue to shop, and in less than an hour, I hurriedly ended this idle purchase in the old market.
At the last minute, climb to the tallest tower of the old market "Castle District", which has its own market at your feet: it is the largest wholesale and retail market in Europe, and it looks ridiculously large!
Several managers of the market honestly made introductions on the side, and after listening to the meeting, Zhang Nan said: "The market is good, but it is still too chaotic outside."
Take your time, try to make the whole market look good in 10 years, and now the plastic shed can be used as a store for a short time, but it is really not decent after a long time.
But don't think about turning it into a high-end department store, if this container wholesale market is like that, it's actually a self-extinct way, just look neat and orderly.
By the way, there is another thing to pay attention to, I don't think it's a problem to do this gray customs clearance for another ten years, but it's hard for anyone to say how society will change in the future.
We have to guard against an iron-fisted president to carry out a big rectification!
Those who play black can never compare to the regime, and there will always be a day when they go ashore.
Don't overdo it with gray customs clearance, if you make it higher than the normal customs clearance cost for me in two years, and you can't pass the normal customs clearance, don't blame me for not being merciful!"
Sweet dates and sticks should be combined to control subordinates!
Money will make people lost, what are the businessmen who came out of the army to mix with the black Dexing Zhang Nan knows, he is still honest now, so what about the future?
Ring the alarm bell for them so they don't get carried away!
However, there is a good point, Zhang Nan still has an innate advantage in controlling these partners and subordinates in Russia.
In the future, many Russian gangsters and financial oligarchs will run away after they can't stay in the country and go to the West to continue to live a free life, and some of them will not even be able to deal with the emperor at once.
And Zhang Nan is not worried, he has all kinds of powers, and he can kill people in Russia, and it is more convenient to go outside Russia!
Whether it is Britain and the United States, Australia, or Africa, even if they go to Antarctica, they can bring people to themselves.
Ring the alarm bells, and promise a few long-term visions that can become tens of millions, or even billionaires, and return to the Grand Hotel Ukraine.
I didn't stay in the container market on the periphery, there are too many people here, even if you want to talk to these bad guys, you don't need to be here, it's better to go to where they live.
I admire these people, looking at the fallen men who are closing the stalls near the evening, Zhang Nan will unconsciously think: If he came here with a fever in his brain "at the beginning", I don't know if he could mix it up?
The answer is no.
My English level is okay, but I don't seem to have any talent for learning Russian, and it is difficult for a person who can't even learn Russian to make a name for himself in Moscow!
……
As soon as I went back to the hotel, it was not dark yet, the day in Moscow in May was already relatively long, and this dinner was arranged relatively early.
After eating, Zhang Nan asked Xiang Weirong: "I want to go and see those fallen masters from China, are you interested?"
"I'm going to forget it, I'm going to go, and Jia Nan must want to go.
I see that he is a little too wild these days, and I have to take him to a ballet performance in the evening. ”
This Zhang Nan heard what his brother-in-law said, and said with a smile: "Ballet?
I'm convinced!
Elegant enough!"
Who said that Xiang Weirong couldn't take his son to see a ballet, Zhang Nan also went to listen to a symphony, but just listen to a lively scene, people just applaud and then applaud and mix.
If you think about it, this hairy child's heart is too wild, and watching ballet is really a good way to collect your heart.
Just don't be too tired to play during the day, just watch and fall asleep, that's a bit of a loss.
I didn't think about this, Charlize Theron also said that she went to watch ballet with Xiang Weirong and his son: if Charlie hadn't injured her foot, she might have been a ballet dancer.
It's just that I'm a little too tall, and I don't know if I can pick it out.
But I'm very lucky, if it weren't for her foot injury, it is estimated that Zhang Nan would not have met her in South Africa, and finally had such a sister.
"Is the ticket booked?"
Care about it.
"I was ready, and I asked Tom to book a box before I came. Charlie said.
Yes, Zhang Nan was a little depressed, he didn't know anything about it.
Looking at his brother's expression, Charlize Theron smiled and said, "I knew that you dozed off when you saw the ballet, so I didn't let Tom talk to you."
If you're interested, go together, anyway, the box is very big. ”
Zhang Nan shook his head, "Forget it, I'm afraid of running into terrorists." ”
Obviously a joke, the brother-in-law and father and son went to the ballet with Charlie, and there were almost two dozen bodyguards, and there were seven or eight of them guarding near the box door alone.
And according to Tom's habit of booking boxes and seats, unless he knows the list of other guests, the boxes on the left and right sides of the host's box will also be set, and the bodyguards will go in to make up the numbers.
If Zhang Nan's family goes to see a show, not to mention the boxes on both sides, if there are still up and down, Tom will charter at least nine boxes in one go!
Terrorist?
When the time comes, whoever is terrible will say it!
Only Zhang Nan knows that he is not talking nonsense, in the future, terrorist attacks in Russia will be the most popular schools and theaters, and there will be heavy casualties several times!
Fortunately, it is 1993, and although the contradictions on the Chechen side have intensified, the war has not yet broken out.
No one would have known how brutal those two wars were, and no one could have imagined that the aftermath would be so troublesome.
Russia is not the Soviet Union, it will never become the Soviet Union.
Everyone temporarily dispersed, Zhang Nan went to a foothold of Chinese merchants in the northeast area of the city, where there was a hotel opened by people from Lucheng, China, and the guests were all from Huaxia, and the business was relatively small.
Most of them do business in Moscow several times a year, and although the time spent in Moscow each time is long or short, there are very few who stay in Moscow all year round, and there are almost no who stay in Moscow for only two or three days.
In the kind of inn that basically serves the inverted master, most of them are long-term private rooms for ten days and a half, or even several months, and there are almost no short-term stays for two days.
Zhang Nan is now the biggest gang leader in Moscow, and he has to care about the lives of his fellow villagers, and ask if there are any practical difficulties and how the business is.
Even if it's a cat greeting a mouse, you have to go there.
