(bow and thank you for the commuter pass support of "A D oso5o4"!)
"Petrograd is the pride of our North Russian Republic, a pearl on the Northwest coast, not only because it is home to the largest number of scientific and educational institutions in our country, to gather cutting-edge scientists and industry that make the whole world tremble, but also to us North Russian businessmen, and more importantly because it is the largest port city in our country, with a cargo throughput of almost 10 million tons per year, which is remarkable! Mr. Zhou Ming, you may have heard about the relocation of the capital of the Soviet Union after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in fact, for us North Russians, this is the capital, a northern capital belonging to the Republic of North Russia!"
On the jet airliner to Petrograd, Ilbedov gave Zhou Ming an endless introduction to the situation in Petrograd, and although Zhou Ming had checked the information about the situation in Petrograd in advance, he still smiled and told him that he was very proud. 《
More than an hour later, the plane landed at the airport in Petrograd, Zhou Ming and Ilbedov stepped off the plane, and on the tarmac, a very young-looking North Russian was waiting with his team.
Introduced by Ilbedov before, Zhou Ming knew that this person's name was Hoplov, who was the richest man in Petrograd, and was in charge of more than 30% of the factories in Petrograd, including even some defense industries. Perhaps in Dukristo, no matter how rich Ilbedov is, there is always someone who can compete with him because of his proximity to the center of power, but in Petrograd, Hoplov is a well-deserved No.1.
Hoplov was glad to greet him, and he greeted Ilbedov first: "Dear Mr. Ilbedov, I welcome you on behalf of all Petrograders. ”
"Hoplov is very grateful and I am also very happy to be here in Petrograd. Ilbedov said, and he then introduced him to Zhou Ming, "This is Mr. Zhou Ming, and he is a good partner of our North Russian businessmen." ”
Hearing Zhou Ming's name, Hoplov was very surprised: "It turns out that you are Mr. Zhou Ming? I have heard your name here in Petrograd, it is you who helped our North Russians resist the economic aggression of the Americans, and I know that you are a fascinating legend!"
Zhou Ming simply thanked him, and then Ilbedov said: "Mr. Zhou Ming is coming to Petrograd to the port this time, are you ready for us?"
"Of course, this is not only Mr. Zhou Ming's business, but also a major matter related to our North Russia, of course I will take it to heart!" Hoplov said, "I have just contacted the port, Mr. Zhou Ming and other ships have arrived at the port and are docking, I have prepared a car for Mr. Zhou Ming, you can send Mr. Zhou Ming to the hotel first, rest for a while and then go to the port." ”
Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, since the ship has arrived, let's go directly to the port." ”
Zhou Ming's words completely settled the itinerary, and they got on the minibus prepared by Hoplov and went directly to the port.
More than an hour later, Zhou Ming and their arrival at the port, Petrograd Wharf is no different from other ports, all of them are flat, on the front and back two storage yards, stacked with many containers of different colors, the port crane back and forth, the containers are transported to trains and cars, and finally transported out of the port, a busy scene.
Under the opening of Hoplov's car, Zhou Ming and they went straight into the port and came to the dock, where a huge cargo ship with Chinese logo was docked on the shore, and the crane at the dock rumbled and roared, unloading the containers from the ship one by one.
"This is the cargo ship of the Port City Shipping Group that arrived in the early hours of this morning, according to the news from the port, there is only this port city cargo ship in this half a month, I think it should be the ship that Mr. Zhou Ming is waiting for. Hoplov said to Zhou Ming.
"No, it must be this ship," Zhou Ming said, "The person in charge of the ship or the shipping group is also here, right? ”
Hoplov nodded and said, "I contacted the port just now, saying that they are still on the dock and are talking to the person in charge of the dock about something, and I will take you to them." ”
Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, and then followed Hoplov to the dock, in a clearing on the embankment, Zhou Ming really saw several people standing there, they looked up at the crane and were talking about something.
This is normal, after all, a 10,000-ton cargo ship docked at the port, whether it is the loading and unloading of goods or transportation, it is necessary to communicate with the port, everyone negotiates with each other, and it can not be placed at will like a garbage dump, but even if it is really a garbage dump, there are also sub-regional releases, not to mention the port terminal, these boxes are all money!
It's just that what surprised Zhou Ming was that he saw three familiar figures, which Zhou Ming didn't expect.
"Chairman Tong, Chairman Li Dong, I really didn't expect you to come to Petrograd too. ”
Zhou Ming said that because these three people are none other than Zhou Ming's old acquaintance, the future Chinese rich Li Cheng, the second ship king Tong Gang in the port city and the world, and Tong Hua, the son of Gangcheng who will become Gangcheng in the future.
Hearing Zhou Ming say hello, Li Cheng and Tong Gang Tong Hua turned around and greeted Zhou Ming happily, and at the same time Li Cheng said to Tong Gang: "Chairman Tong, I said that Zhou Ming will definitely come over as soon as possible, he is a person with a very heavy sense of time, and he will not delay." ”
Li Cheng is also serious when he says this, after all, the loading and unloading of a 10,000-ton cargo ship is not as simple as the loading and unloading of an ordinary car, whether it is to enter the port to select a position, or to arrange the storage yard, it will take several hours, and then the crane operation on the wharf also takes time, and it generally takes at least three or four days to complete the loading and unloading of a 10,000-ton cargo ship, and it even takes more than a week.
After such a long wait, many people will not choose to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, but wait for all the goods to be loaded and unloaded and counted before processing, which can save time.
While talking, Li Cheng and Tong Gang came up to shake hands with Zhou Ming, Tong Gang said to Zhou Ming: "We all know that Zhou Ming has done so many shocking things here in North Russia, and you have quadrupled your wealth in just over half a month, and now you have to fight with the Americans face to face with bayonets, how can we still stay in Hong Kong City safely? I will definitely come to witness the moment when you create a miracle!"
Speaking of this, Tong Gang added with a little regret: "It's just that there is no direct route from the port city to Petrograd, so we can only come with the ship." ”
"In fact, this is also a good time to catch up, and there is also the help of friends here in North Russia. ”
Zhou Ming said that he introduced Ilbedov and Hoplov to Li Cheng and Tong Gang, and Ilbetov greeted Li Chengtong Gang, and then said with emotion: "After this time, I really want to be impressed by you Chinese, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, you can actually find such a big ship and bring so many things, it's really amazing, I think even Americans can't do it." ”
Li Cheng explained to him with a smile: "Mr. Ilbedov, you have a good reputation, in fact, this is not as exaggerated as you said, this Mr. Tong Gang is the chairman of our Port City Shipping Group, this ship is one of the ships under his hands, the only more troublesome thing is the 15,000 tons of cargo, but fortunately, we just have so many here in Europe, so we shipped them all at once." ”
"In any case, on behalf of all of us North Russians, I would like to thank you for your help!" said Ilbedov very sincerely, and although Li Cheng said it lightly, this clever Jew could understand that behind his words, many difficulties must have been overcome.
At this time, Hoplov stood up and said: "Since everyone is here, it is also a good thing, now the loading and unloading of this freighter also takes a certain amount of time, I can send you to the hotel to rest first, and then invite you to enjoy our North Russian feast, in a Chinese phrase, that is, since you are here, you are a guest, and let you feel the enthusiasm of our North Russians!"
There was no objection to Hoplov's offer, so Hoplov led them to his dacha on the outskirts of Petrograd.
The villa is actually a medieval castle, and when they enter the hall, it is already set up, with a round table covered with a crisp white cloth, with knives, forks and cutlery, and a few vases of flowers, all in all, it is very pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Hoplov is truly an industrial tycoon in Petrograd, and this move is worth emulating. Li Cheng praised him.
"Thank you for the compliments of Chinese friends, as long as you can bring the friendship between you closer, I think any way is okay!"
Hoplov said this, and then took Zhou Ming and they sat down at the table, and as they sat down, several North Russian girls in maid costumes walked in with plates like butterflies and served them food.
When the rich invite guests to dinner, the food is naturally the most exquisite, but at this time, their attention is not on eating, so even if they eat the best wild salmon in Norway and drink the best 45-year-old Lafite, they will not care.
Of course, everyone is a person with status, and no one will ask questions at the beginning of the question, everyone will say hello first, and then get into the topic after the atmosphere is lively.
"I have stayed there, and I have seen the enthusiasm of the Gallic women, and if it were not for the fear of delaying this matter, I would have liked to stay there for a long time. ”
Tong Gang's words drew a good-natured laugh, and Ilbedov also said an idiom that he had just learned, and he should grow stronger when he gets older.
At this time, Hoplov interjected at the right time and asked: "I know that place in France, it is the most romantic place in the world, so it turns out that your goods are all transferred from France? Won't they all be luxury goods? I am afraid that we cannot afford the current economic situation in North Russia." ”
Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong just glanced at each other, knowing that these two North Russians finally couldn't bear to get to the point.
Li Cheng explained to him: "Mr. Hoplov, of course we will not bring any luxury goods over, in fact we are not even completely transferred in France, we just concentrated all the goods in Europe that we can concentrate, and then loaded them onto Chairman Tong's ship, and finally shipped them." ”
"Then I don't know what you are transporting?" Ilbedov couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou Ming said that he can help us solve this ruble crisis, is it all gold?"
Zhou Ming smiled: "Mr. Ilbedov can really joke, we can't transport these 10,000 tons of gold, and we don't have that ability, these 10,000 tons of goods are actually the simplest daily necessities, that is, the clothes, shoes and socks we all wear, as well as the tablecloths, knives and forks we use." ”
