Chapter 86 Drink a bottle of vodka and get 10,000 discounts
Many people who did not experience the early 90s have a rough and general understanding of the history of the decline of Lucia, Lucia and Black Crane after the end of the USSR.
That is, it seems that as soon as the "shock therapy" of the Oceania country was launched, these three countries immediately fell into the trap, and then collapsed.
But this is actually a misunderstanding, and it is also a propaganda tactic to warn the Oceanic countries.
In fact, in the first two years of the USSR, the temporary effect of "shock therapy" was very good, and the national economy of the countries concerned showed a prosperous scene of cooking oil, and it seemed that the problem of poor living materials in the USSR era was solved at once.
It was after two or three years of operation, eating and wiping clean, that the problem began to become serious.
Du Guowei and Gao Jianxiong are both witnesses of this period, so they will not have the blind spot of those who read this history from history books in later generations.
In the past two years, what they have seen in the media has been positive reports about the new economic situation in Lucia and Hekland. When Du Guowei went to Hekland last summer, he also saw with his own eyes the rich material life of the people there.
This makes the contrast and impact of what you have seen and heard abroad more and more huge.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Gu Kun and his entourage took a Black Airlines flight, landed in Odessa, and then transferred to a train to nearby Nikolaev and Kherson.
Visas and everything have been done a long time ago, especially Gu Kun's Lanfang passport, which is really easy to use, and there are many countries in the East and the West that give visa-free.
Among the three, Gao Jianxiong's visa processing was a little slow. And Du Guowei came to Heklan last year, and his historical record is very good, and he is also a second sign.
There was not much strict inspection when passing through the customs, and Hei Kelan didn't care if you brought a large amount of cash at all, Gu Kun and Gao Jianxiong each carried a suitcase, which was full of dollars in cash, and they all passed the customs easily.
As for the domestic trains, no one cares about it, and if you want to describe the current situation of Hekland at that time in two words, it is chaos.
In order to protect his own safety, Du Guowei also used the connections he met last year to help him apply for a license to possess weapons in the name of a foreign investor's inspection.
After arriving in Sevastopol, Gu Kun and Gao Jianxiong both carried a Makarov pistol with them. In the rented car, Ko also put an AKM in case of safety. Du Guowei is a scholar, and he doesn't need to be powerless.
However, these weapons can be legally possessed in Hekland, and it is impossible to get on a plane when you leave in the future.
It is easy for Gu Kun to apply for legal documents in Lanfang, and in the future, he will be able to buy durian plantations in exchange for legal possession of handguns in Malaysia.
Perhaps in the future, after buying a boat from Hekland, you can legally bring your self-defense equipment back to Lane by sea.
Along the way, Du Guowei also explained a few words to Gu Kun: "I have already contacted the manager of the Kherson Special Shipyard in advance, and he welcomes us to see the ship at any time."
However, Mr. Gu, I hope you are mentally prepared to do business with the Heiklan people, which is actually similar to the habit of doing business with state-owned enterprises in China in the early years. They are very generous in their public offerings, and you can't be vague about how you return the gift in private.
In addition, when they invite you to drink vodka and eat caviar, you must not shirk it and try to behave as boldly as possible...... When our hospital sent people here last year, they specially found two good drinkers, disguised as negotiators, and were responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun. β
Gu Kun: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to check the technical details." β
In order to support the faΓ§ade, the group stayed in the most luxurious and only four-star hotel in the Kherson and Mykolaiv region, called the "Mankaski" hotel, which was converted from a seaside guest house in Nikolaev during the original USSR era. It is located in the southeastern suburbs of the city of Mykolaiv, not very far from Kherson.
Because Kherson is a purely industrial town, the hospitality facilities are really bad, and living there is a loss of the identity of a wealthy businessman in Kunlan, and it is not conducive to the other party attaching importance to this cooperation, he would rather go to the shipyard every day to negotiate, and let Gao Jianxiong drive more than ten kilometers round trip.
Kherson and Mykolaiv are both port cities near the mouth of the Dnieper River, not far from each other, and the distance between the city centers of the two cities is only about 40 kilometers, and the suburbs are almost connected.
Both cities also have well-developed shipbuilding industries, but each has its own focus. The shipyards in Kherson are not large, but there is a lot of special equipment, mainly to build small and beautiful ships for various special purposes.
The shipyard on the Nikolaev side is mainly stupid, big and coarse, and flat-deck ships of tens of thousands of tons are built casually. The lead ship of the Kiev class, as well as the Minsk or something, and even the unfinished ship, which is not easy to describe, are the products of the Nikolaev shipyard.
After making all the preparations at the hotel, Gu Kun asked Du Guowei to call and call the people from the Kherson shipyard to come to Mankasky for a banquet.
More than an hour later, around four o'clock in the afternoon, several old-fashioned Volga cars arrived, and they stopped in front of the Mankaski Hotel. Gu Kun took his subordinates to the door of the hotel to greet him and shake hands.
Fortunately, the latitude of Heikelan is relatively high, similar to the northeast and north of China, so it gets dark very quickly at the end of October, and it is almost dinner at 4 o'clock.
"This is the manager of the Kherson shipyard, and this is the boss Gu of the Lanfang Maritime Group. Du Guowei helped both sides to introduce.
"Boss Gu is really young and promising, I didn't expect the new customers brought by Du Gong this time to be more promising than last year's. "Cheryshev was about forty or fifty years old, with hair between the bald head of the Lord and the Mediterranean head of the Goye, and he was a fat and greasy man. When he shook hands with Gu Kun, a pair of mung bean eyes flashed with greed.
However, Gu Kun did not show any expression: "Come on, come on, let's not talk about business today, it's really nice to be able to meet a friend like Mr. Cheryshev, drink well tonight, don't get drunk and don't return." β
With a satisfied smile and, with a wave of his hand, Cheryshev asked his attendant to carry a small box of caviar and a large box of vodka and send them upstairs.
This is also the habit of the Black Clans to get together with the drinking party, even if there are foreigners to entertain them, the vodka and caviar are still brought by the Black Clans themselves. Even if decades later, they rolled up the money to go to Brittany and Monaco to become invisible rich, and the vodka and caviar were still brought by themselves.
However, Gu Kun is also prepared, and of course he will come up with more decent entertainment, so the formation will definitely not lose to the Heklands.
When he set out from the Netherlands, he searched for as many luxury goods as he could easily buy in Western European countries, so that he could make friends here.
There are several Iberian hams raised with pure acorns in Spain alone, as well as truffles from the mountains of South Tyrol. Not to mention other expensive foods.
These ingredients, carefully processed and cooked by the hotel's chef, were placed on the table hot, and soon made the guests of the bitter cold place of Black Crane snort and twitched.
At first, Du Guowei was in the center to help translate in Russian.
However, Gu Kun and those guys drank a little round, and the other party learned to "toast" with Chinese, and Gu Kun also learned to say "ZBC", so there was no need for a translator, anyway, everyone was shouting and drinking.
"Gu, you are really the most bold Chinese I have ever seen!"
"Hey, uncle, you drank too much, I'm from Huaxia and Lan Fang. β
"It's all the same, come on, keep drinking!"
After Gu Kun drank five bottles of vodka alone, the guys on the opposite side all lay down.
Gu Kun didn't have anything to do, but he felt that he needed to jump into the sea and swim for a few kilometers to scatter wine.
