163. Today is not what it used to be
He Long asked, "It's just to enter TO, can't you, only enter now?"
His business is very large, but it is only limited to catering, one to two, two to four, self-aware, and does not engage in any diversification.
I have always paid little attention to the domestic situation, and the word 'to' is still because it was a hot spot in China in those years, and I can listen to a few words with my ears covered.
Russia can pass by a few steps, but it is far away as if it is on the horizon, and it has nothing to do with his life.
Fang Quandao, "Russia and the West have always been confrontational, Lao Pu has a bad temper, and the Yankees are not used to him, and they are subject to economic sanctions at every turn." They may not necessarily be willing to do business with us Chinese, but apart from the Chinese who dare to do business with them, they can't find anyone else.
Otherwise, how do you think they made these border traders?
As a border trade boss, he looks like a migrant worker, one by one is inconspicuous, and the degree of arrogance is not comparable to that of the coal boss, he really wants to do something, and his investment is hundreds of millions, billions, and he doesn't blink his eyes. β
He An said steadily, "That's the reason, there are too many big bosses engaged in border trade, and they are too able to hide and make a fortune in a muffled voice." Sometimes, when I meet a border trade boss I don't know, I don't dare to make a fool of myself, in case I turn around and get slapped in the face, it's not good. I don't have the confidence to stand with them. β
He Long asked, "If you go on a trip, do you see any good roads?" Don't forget me if there is a good way, I have a little spare money, and I can still move, even if you squeak." β
He Anwen smiled bitterly, "Brother, do you think it's still the past, after the 08 financial crisis, the global economy is not good, Russia is under sanctions, it is said that we do border trade, it is also profitable, but many of us can't do it, oil and gas are too high-end, we will definitely not be able to play, so we can only toss these clothes, shoes and the like."
Don't brag, like I used to be able to produce a train of high-imitation three bars every week, but now it's not good, many southern bosses are building markets and stalls over there that specialize in selling Chinese goods, and they ship directly, and I'm almost drinking the northwest wind now. β
There is no middleman at all, and they don't even have to eat the difference.
Fang Quandao, "Information society, this is a matter of time or time, my brother-in-law said, when the network and logistics keep up, in the future, Maozi will buy directly from the domestic Internet, and the wholesale market over there will not be mixed, and you are a middleman, and there is no future." β
He has always admired Li Laoer's vision, so even if he feels mysterious, he doesn't dare to doubt it.
He Anwen said, "It is really possible, to build a warehouse overseas, the cost of freight is reduced by more than half, and Russians can really realize online shopping." In fact, I am looking forward to it now, hoping to realize the exchange of the ruble and the yuan as soon as possible, and no matter how big Lao Pu's temper is, he still can't leave the dollar.
Like when we earn rubles, the first thing is to exchange them for dollars, and then for dollars, and then for yuan, and the Yankees are comfortable, lying at home, they can get wool on us. β
Global trade is mainly denominated in US dollars, which means that settlements can only be completed through US dollars, resulting in an extremely strong position of the US dollar. Therefore, the Americans can impose economic sanctions on other countries at any time.
Li Lan said curiously, "I remember that during the economic crisis in 08, China and Russia seemed to have signed a local currency swap agreement. β
He An said steadily, "It's just that the agreement was signed, and the standby nature has not occurred, and there is no creditor-debtor relationship, and now I import oil and natural gas from there and give Mao Zi RMB, and Mao Zi can't be happy." β
Li Lan was ignorant of money and finance, and asked with a smile, "Isn't the United States sanctioning Russia?
He Anwen said, "This will highlight Hong Kong's advantages, and the international financial center is not called in vain." After being sanctioned by the United States, Mao Zi regarded Hong Kong as a safe haven, and the US dollar, the euro, and all the brains were exchanged for Hong Kong dollars, and the Hong Kong dollar became Russia's reserve currency.
If it was in the British colonial era, Mao Zi might not have had the guts, Europe and the Yankees were the same pants, and the Yankees would sanction whoever they said.
Like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, they also like to see that Iran and Iraq had deposits and gold in their previous countries, and they legally and reasonably paid their money, so fools don't do it.
Now Hong Kong's sovereignty is in China, and it is justifiable that no bird is a Yankee, and our domestic policy is that the enemy of the United States is our friend, and whoever is disgusted by the Yankees, we will go to other places, and it is not easy to send charcoal in the snow, and we can see the truth in adversity, and you see that now, our relations with Venezuela, Iran, and Africa are quite good. β
He talked eloquently and said a lot, which stunned Fang Quan and the others.
Fang Quan lit a cigarette and said, "You have watched a military show a lot, and what you said is the way, but it's good, I have met a few Lunan people who make steel structures and steel pipes before, and their business in Africa and the Middle East is much better than before."
Now except for us, no one dares to do business with countries sanctioned by the United States, so ah, sometimes the Yankees are really bad to us, and send us money to make money. β
He An said steadily, "Fortunately, we are more powerful now, the Yankees dare to sanction Cuba, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela, but for China, they don't dare to mention the word sanctions at all."
It is no wonder that the Yankees regard China as an imaginary enemy, and when we compare it with foreign countries, it is no longer in the eyes of the United States, how is it, Britain, Japan, etc.
Looking at the whole world, we are the only ones who have the ability to challenge the status of the United States. Anyway, de-dollarization is a global trend sooner or later, and the Yankees may not be able to be arrogant for as long as possible. β
Fang Quandao, "No wonder your business can be so big, it's a pity." β
"What is a pity?" He Anwen asked curiously.
Fang Quandao, "It's a pity that you haven't studied, you haven't studied to this point, if you do, you will still have it?"
He Anwen was stunned, sighed and said, "I'm really right for you, every time I don't have enough brains, I hate myself for not being able to read, and I don't have the strength to fight for that kid." β
The proprietress personally served the food and brought the wine in, and in the middle of the large round table, two bottles of the open national cellar were placed, and the beer was opened, and they were placed on the table for them to choose.
After the proprietress went out, Fang Quan poured a glass of beer for Li Lan first, then filled it for himself, held the cup and said, "Let's have a drink first." β
Everyone got up together, raised their glasses, and drank them all.
He Long asked, "You don't drink liquor anymore?"
Li Lan said, "Just drink beer, it's all your own family, drinking so much white, hot and spicy is uncomfortable, it's okay to drink beer." β
Fang Quan smiled and said, "As for the beer, everyone can drink as much as you want, and when you finish drinking, go and sing." β
Everyone looked at Li Lan.
Li Lan said, "No, I'm afraid of noise, drink good and eat well, you can wander around, you don't have to sing." β
He Long said, "Maybe it's because I'm old, like me, I like to drink, eat, play, I can play in the dance hall all day, not tired, now, I have a headache when I hear that voice from afar." β
Because he was too addicted and had been trained by his brother-in-law, no one dared to accompany him to entertainment venues since then, and naturally he would not go alone, let alone it, let alone it.
Sitting at the door was Fang Quan's little cousin Fang Shiqiang, who had an honest temperament, and he didn't intervene much, and he couldn't help but say after drinking two glasses of wine at the moment, "There are a lot of Russians in the county clubhouse now, that one, one meter eight, taller than me, and his skin is white." β
The words of plump and rounded are naturally embarrassed to say.
He Long said, "Come, I'll have a drink with you." β
"Brother Long, I respect you. Fang Shiqiang stood up with the cup, and it was naturally difficult to say anything else.
He Anwen said, "I still plan to partner with a few southerners to open a commercial market in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and other Central Asian regions, and after completion, I will rent the storefront and stalls to former businessmen in China."
There is no such professional trade market over there, and we should not make less money if we fill the gap. β
Fang Quandao, "It's okay to have a relationship over there, if it doesn't matter, it's definitely not easy to do, just the police are looking for trouble, it's enough for you to suffer." β
He An said steadily, "You don't understand if you haven't done border trade, the smaller the country, the poorer the country, the easier it is to pull this relationship, last year I went to Africa with them, from the president to what minister, just like that, just such a table, on the left hand side is the president, on the right hand side is a few Chinese, next to it, there are some transportation ministers, finance ministers, naval commanders and the like."
At that time, people still had to give me approval to open a bank, but I was afraid of trouble, otherwise, they would all be open now. β
Li Lan heard what he said about exaggeration, so he asked curiously, "Uncle An Wen, didn't you deliberately dismantle your platform, are you serious?"
He An said steadily, "Can this be fake? You don't understand the gap between the rich and the poor, I don't talk about others, just talk about your father." β
Li Lan said, "What does it have to do with my dad?"
He An said steadily, "I also heard what people said, and at first I thought it was nonsense, but then I went to Africa again, and I felt that I was inseparable, do you want to listen to it?"
Li Lan nodded, "Say it." β
He An said steadily, "Everyone just listen to it, you can't spread it casually, people are willing to tell me that it's because the person concerned is my brother-in-law, and I will definitely not spread it randomly." It's probably 09 years, my brother-in-law took my eldest sister to a country called Svica in Africa, where there is a wildlife sanctuary, what lions, wolves, tigers, you can see clearly in the car. β
"Going to Sveka wasn't '09, it was '08. Li Lan still corrected it, that year his wife suddenly became interested in the vast African continent, and muttered all day long that she had time to explore Africa.
He Lao Tzu is a man of words, regardless of it, without saying a word, he dragged his wife to Svica in Africa, and started a romantic journey to the world of two.
This is a month.
He An said steadily, "I don't remember too clearly, it is said that my brother-in-law was bullied by a warlord leader at that time, this little warlord is quite arrogant, if it weren't for Song Gu and others around him as security at that time, it would have been impossible to end."
The brother-in-law was very angry, so he asked the Chinese in Svica to draw a line and complained to the president, such a warlord is not extinguished, and he still stays for the New Year?
At that time, the president was pushing back and forth, saying that he had no money, and that he had no equipment, and that he wanted to get some money to do things anyway.
At first, I asked for 1 million US dollars, and my brother-in-law readily agreed, and then I asked for 2 million, and I could think about it, but within two days, the president regretted it again, thinking that my brother-in-law promised too simply, and it was definitely not bad for money, and he wanted less, and offered 10 million.
This annoyed his brother-in-law, just after the Svicka election, he secretly contacted all the opposition, each opposition gave 10 million, for one purpose, to pull down the president and destroy the small warlords, and promised to give another 100 million US dollars after the deed.
Several opposition parties were not confident that they could get the president down alone, so they simply united with the military, did not even go through the general election procedure, and directly followed the path of a coup d'Γ©tat, pulled down the president, and then eliminated the small warlords and divided the 100 million US dollars equally. β
Not to mention that He Long and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it, even Li Lan couldn't believe it.
"It can't be me, can it?"
He Anwen smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth, the person who said this to me, you also know, that Chaozhou guy Zhang Xianwen, he built an industrial park in Sveka, after his brother-in-law went, he received it, and after that, he also started to arrange the contact with the opposition."
At present, only he, me, and a few of you know about this matter, you must not tell outsiders again, this kind of thing will always be taboo when it spreads. β
Everyone nodded busily, naturally they can't talk nonsense, here is all stained with the light of Li Lao Er, and there is no one who looks forward to Li Lao Er better than them.
As a son, Li Lan naturally would not gossip about his old son.
"I respect everyone. As soon as he stood up and finished speaking, he looked up, and the wine in the glass was gone.
Drinking and drinking, the dishes were already all over the table.
The proprietress held a glass in one hand and a beer in the other, and toasted one by one.
smiled and said, "I will toast to you on behalf of my family Lao Zhou, this meal is mine, if there is any care, please bear with me." β
He Long said, "That's pretty much it, you don't have to continue to serve the dishes, and it's a waste if you can't finish eating." As for your treat, then forget it, and you will receive it. β
The proprietress said, "Brother Long, I want to give this face, invite you to dinner, that's my honor." β
Leaving the room with a smile, he gently closed the door.
He Long sighed, "It's not what it used to be." β
His brainless words made Li Lan puzzled, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what are you feeling again?"
He An said steadily, "You don't know this, Shao Yihong, is this boss lady, it used to be terrible, my father is the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative, and my mother is the leader of the county committee, you look at the current mold, you know that the young will definitely be beautiful, plus the family background is good, our flower is simply a copy of Snow White."
We, then, only dare to peek from afar, and we don't even dare to look at it, let alone talk to it.
Isn't there a buzzword on the Internet now, called 'goddess', and that will be the goddess in our hearts.
Who is young and hasn't had a dream, in our dreams, but it's her.
None of us thought that we would be able to get to this point, the young man has become a big boss, and the goddess of the past has become a cook.
"Uncle, did you have a crush on her?" asked Li Lan unreservedly.
He Long said, "You inquire, how many people of my age didn't have a crush on her at the beginning? There was a person who handed her a love letter before, and the next day she was beaten, there were too many flower messengers, scary, I was a coward, I didn't even dare to look at her."
After I got married, I was tired from farming, and I didn't have the time to take care of her.
Later, when your parents got married, I went to them, and I never saw her again at home, and I didn't think she would open a restaurant here. β
"And he is so attentive to you?Brother Long, don't you have a special sense of accomplishment if you tell you the truth?" Fang Quan asked with a smile.
He Long smiled and said, "Guess what? This is called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, quite a few years she will not look at us, now, I refer to the east, if she dares to go west, the county, she will not have to mix." β
He An said steadily, "Her husband is Zhou Weiping, after Zhou Weiping retired, this kid couldn't get along and reluctantly opened this restaurant, do you want to give them a little hardship?"
He Long glanced at him, held his cup, and said with a fake look, "Don't be so boring, more sunshine, less gloom, the world will be a better place!"
The crowd laughed.
When he was almost drunk, He Long asked the waiter to bring rice in, and each person picked up a bowl of rice.
Fang Quan casually took out the banknotes from his pocket, didn't count them, estimated them, left them on the table, and beckoned everyone to leave.
Shao Yihong glanced at the table, smiled and didn't say more, and personally sent everyone to the door.
He Long said, "Time is not forgiving." β
Without waiting for Shao Yihong to reply, he took everyone away.
Fang Quan crossed his arms and asked, "Are you cold?" Let's go, let's go to the sauna and step on our backs. β
He Long said, "Then it's no problem, just sober up." β
Fang Quandao, "If you don't go back at night, just sleep in the hotel, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the riverside barbecue." β
He An said steadily, "If you don't go back, your daughter-in-law won't check the post?"
Fang Quan said disdainfully, "Do you think it's your daughter-in-law? My wife is not so tight, what is the most important thing between husband and wife?
The phone in his pocket rang.
He Anwen quipped, "Hurry up and take it, otherwise my sister-in-law will get angry." β
Fang Quan trotted to the other side, picked up the phone while avoiding them, and deliberately said loudly, "Well, if you don't go back tonight, where can you be?" I can't hear the sound, the cars on the road are roaring." Joke, my own hotel, where can I not find a place to sleep.
Oh, my son misses me, I don't go back and he doesn't sleep? Okay, okay, wait. β
walked up to He Long and the others, and before he could speak, He Long waved at him, "What about your driver, let him pick you up, don't drive yourself." β
Li Lan saw him looking at him, and said with a smile, "What is the relationship between the two of us?" You are still polite to me, you go yours, and I will go to the bath with my uncle." β
Probably because of the strength of the wine, he was very excited now, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
What's more, several people here are rushing to him to cheer for him, Fang Quan can go, if he leaves, it will be a little cold.
Fang Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you guys have fun, I'll go first." β
Turning his head and winking at Fang Shiqiang, "I'll leave it to you, you make arrangements." β
Fang Shiqiang immediately understood, "Don't worry, everything has me." β
He is not Fang Quan's secretary, but he has been following Fang Quan all the year round, doing some small business in the back, and the boss in the county is also very familiar with him.
When Fang Quan got into the driver's car, he waved to the car behind him, and soon the two cars stopped in front of him, and said with a smile, "You get in the car, the road is not far, and it will be there soon." β
Everyone got into the car, crossed the intersection of two roads, turned a corner, and stopped at a small five-story building.
He Long looked up at the signboard while lighting a cigarette, and said with a smile, "I don't even know when this was opened." β
Fang Shiqiang said, "Last year, a southern boss opened it, and he was friends with Brother Quan. β
He took the lead and went in first, and the little girl standing at the front desk saw him and hurriedly greeted him.
He sat on the sofa and personally brought a pair of slippers for Li Lan.
Li Lan hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll come by myself, you don't have to be so polite." β
He Long was wearing slippers, and he didn't change his shoes, he went into the bathroom, took off his clothes in front of the wardrobe, and threw them into the cabinet.
Entering the public bathroom, Li Lan was naked for the first time, and he was a little embarrassed to be naked in public.
He Long smiled and said, "Come in bubbles, it's very comfortable." β
"It's coming. Li Lan simply let go, tentatively put his feet into the pool, began to feel a little hot, slowly put half of his body into the water, and the fatigue gradually dissipated.
Sitting on the edge of the pool, leaning against the wall, with two hands on the edge of the pool, he took the cigarette handed over by Fang Shiqiang, and finally lit one.
The steaming mist of the water, the smoke in the hands swirled in front of the eyes.
