After the wine party dispersed, Cheryshev and the others were all poured down by Gu Kun.

They didn't have to go back to the shipyard, Gu Kun directly waved the banknote and let the hotel open three more high-end rooms.

The secret story of Gu Kun, a "mysterious Oriental guest", killing all sides at the wine table, has also become an urban legend in the Mankaski Hotel.

"The guests in room 502 are okay, right? I heard that someone in the luxury bag on the third floor just made several bottles of vodka, and actually went to the sea for winter swimming in the cold weather. ”

"Alas, another drunk fool, it is estimated that tomorrow someone in the newspaper will drink too much news of freezing or drowning...... Well, it's not like that, isn't it just freezing to death and drowning a handful of people, it's not fresh now. ”

A couple of hotel staff, gossiping there. One of them was a little thick, and he complained casually.

Another girl, who looked more detailed, seemed to be her foreman, and when she heard this, she complained:

"Selyuna, what nonsense are you talking about! It's a guest of the hotel, if something really happens and the business can't be done, you quickly call me Monishonka and go to the beach to watch a little. ”

The girl known as Xie Liuna, an old fritter with a big pot of rice, said impatiently: "Cut, with our salary, why do we care so much, the hotel business will not add money to us." Midlova, don't think that being a maître d'hom will make you a good job, you're still tender. ”

Midlova was discouraged, she was indeed younger than the other party and had a short working life. It's just that she graduated from vocational high school and came here to learn a little bit of Western-style hotel management, so she became a foreman.

And that Selyuna graduated from junior high school and was here before the collapse of the Soviet Union - at that time it was still a state-run guest house, so that old fritter didn't obey her at all.

Midlova thought about it, and could only reason: "If something happens, maybe the hotel will be closed for rectification, and we may not even get the dead salary, so you can work hard." ”

"Monishonka has run away from work! With this dead salary, who can survive, the devil knows if one day they will run to the west to make a living, this world is over!"

"Be quiet, forget it, since Monishenka has slipped away, I'll accompany you to watch. "Midlova didn't want to make trouble, so she had to take a step back. As a foreman, she also personally went to the beach with her employees to be on duty.

She knew that Xie Liuna's complaint just now contained too much bitter information.

Since last year, from Mykolaiv to Kherson to Odessa, the salaries and employment situation of the whole society have collapsed badly. Legitimate job opportunities for young women are also being frantically compressed.

In their hotel, they have seen seven or eight spare time who can't resist the temptation of money, and work part-time in the guest's room to do some extra personal work - who makes the Mankaski Hotel the most exclusive hotel in the two nearby cities, and there will always be foreign high-rollers who are wool from the historical industrial assets of Heikland.

They have all seen their former colleagues with their own eyes, and some of them have earned several months or more at a time because they have served high rollers well.

In other places, where there is no way out, you can't find a high roller, so there are many young girls who want to sneak to the west. After they stole out, they did the same job, but the customer source was more stable, but the life was more undignified.

Because they don't even have a legitimate job on the surface, they stay in the hotel, nominally doing a formal job.

This scene is the same as in "Lord of War", when Yuriolov was just dissolved in the USSR and when he returned to Black Klan to pan for gold.

He doesn't have to look for women who are engaged in those special industries, and he should be a waitress in a high-end hotel, and he has a lot of part-time jobs.

This is a national tragedy.

......

At the end of October, it was already quite cold on the shores of the Black Sea.

Fifty years ago, the Führer's army in summer clothes had already begun to be frozen by the cold and weakened to attack.

However, because of his special talent and physique, after drinking three liters of vodka, Gu Kun's motor nerves were abnormally excited, and he jumped into the sea to vent quickly, swimming more than a dozen times around the swimming area surrounded by floating nets on the beach of the hotel.

Lucia and the Hecklands have a thirst for the sea that the southern peoples could not have imagined. Therefore, the hotels here will be equipped with large searchlights on the beach, so that guests can swim at night -

Don't think this situation is very strange, if you have been to those foreign seaside tourist attractions where the old Maozi is more crowded, you will know that this kind of thing is commonplace.

For example, places like Nha Trang and Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, because they were Soviet military bases in history, Lao Maozi has a tradition of going there for vacation. If you live in a five-star hotel such as Havana or Diamond Bay, get a sea-view room, and can't sleep at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, you can see that there are still old hairy people swimming on the beach under the searchlight.

However, tropical midnight swimming is to escape the heat of the day. On the shores of the Black Sea at high latitudes, it is very exaggerated to swim at night in early winter. The searchlights installed in the hotel were originally for guests to use on summer nights, and they are unique when turned on in winter.

"This person swims so fast, why is his physical strength so strong, is that really a yellow race, and it makes us work overtime!"

Just when the staff on duty on the shore was about to be shivered by the cold, Gu Kun finally vented enough, and a bath towel went ashore.

Midlova hurriedly stepped forward, handed a slip and pen to Gu Kun, and asked slowly in stiff English: "Sir, please sign this list: tonight's searchlights and bathhouse service facilities are added separately for you." Originally, we were closed by default in winter. ”

Gu Kun glanced at it casually, there was a large list of numbers on it, estimated to be tens of thousands, but the currency unit denominated was the Kubang bill, so he smiled contemptuously and signed it casually.

The money he spent on staying in the hotel this time was all dollars, which shows that the main revenue of the hotel has changed.

And the reason why this list is still a Kubang coupon should be because the people who will consume night winter swimming are all locals, and foreigners are not good at this, so the management has not been changed.

It's so confusing.

The Coupon was a transitional currency in Hekland from 1992 to 1995. At that time, the ruble had been abolished, the hryvnia had not yet been issued, and the Coubon vouchers were used.

Later, after the complete failure of shock therapy, the Coubin note was swept into the dustbin of history with the reform of the currency reform.

When it first came out in 92, the maximum face value of the Kubang bond was 200 yuan, and at the end of last year it reached 5,000 yuan, and this year's 10,000 and 20,000 denominations were also issued.

Historically, next year, the last year of the operation of the Kubang bill, the maximum denomination can reach two million bills, and then it will collapse and be abolished.

It can be seen that this currency and the economy of the Black Crane in recent years, although not as notorious as the gold yuan or Zimbabwean currency, but the inflation ratio should not be underestimated.

In any case, it is certainly extremely abnormal for a country's maximum denomination of banknotes to become a thousandfold larger in three years.

It is easy to imagine how quickly the quality of life of ordinary people here deteriorates.

After Gu Kun signed the list, Shi Shiran wrapped in a bath towel and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the female foreman from behind:

"Sir...... You have a few guests and companions who want something special...... Serve. I took care of those colleagues who took orders, and when the time comes, don't ask consumers to collect money directly, you ...... You'll pay for them, right?"

Midrova took several deep breaths and held back her shame as she finished asking the question.

Gu Kun paused slightly, turned his head slightly, gave the other party a side face, and replied, "You did the right thing, and these expenses will be counted in my account in the future...... Well, I didn't bring anything with me for swimming, so you can go back to my room with me to get the money. ”

Cherishev's people, although they were the managers of the shipyard and other management, had a hard time going through the public accounts.

Gu Kun knew exactly how to deal with the business operators in the initial process of privatization, and of course he knew what to do.

So he took the forewoman and went back to his room to get the money, and said nothing all night.

Even the woman who did the business knew that only US dollars were charged.

......

The next day, the two sides entered into formal negotiations.

And every day for lunch and dinner, eating, drinking and having fun is still a must, and it doesn't delay the business at all.

Du Guowei was a little unable to let go at first, but later found that Gu Kun's work was much more reliable than his original leaders in the design institute.

At least, Gu Kun, a wild man who can let go, is extremely good at lowering the price of the Heklan people.

Du Guowei can also bring new good news to Gu Kun every day:

"I knew that if we had you when we bought the research ship last year, maybe we could have discounted it. ”

"These Black Clans are so daring. Boss, I pondered the intentions of the manager Cheryshev today, he probably wants to make the factory more loss-making on the books, so as to privatize it at a low price and expand his personal equity.

Therefore, we have negotiated a new cooperation model, and when the time comes, we will not ask the Kherson shipyard to provide us with refit directly, just as if we were buying scrap products, dispose of the unsalable old goods, and then he will introduce another private worker to give us the modification according to our needs.

This alone can save hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more. It's just that the money saved is not entirely ours, we and the manager Cheryshev they want seven or three, we can get seven, and three more rebates ......"

He also said that according to the price negotiated these days, you will be cut by an extra $10,000 for an extra flat of vodka. He just likes to deal with people like you. ”

Gu Kun was quite satisfied with all this, and at the same time realized that when the design institute of Jiaotong University and relevant units came to talk last year, how inadequate it was, and there was still so much bargaining space that he didn't know how to use it.

Sure enough, both sides are groping for possible problems in the privatization process.

As for Gu Kun, he had already opened the perspective and knew how to deal with these people.

So, soon came the day when his "scientific research ship" was about to be signed.
