In the afternoon, the antique street is very quiet, except for the occasional chirping of canaries hanging under the eaves.

The tea in Babinov's hand turned into a layer of white mist in front of his eyes, and he drank the whole glass of water, his eyes were a little sluggish, and after a long time, he said with a slight sarcasm: "Mr. Li, as a Chinese, why do you care so much about the affairs of the Soviet Union?"

Li Xian picked up the tea, took a shallow sip, took out a ruble from his arms, put it on the table, looked at Babinov and asked: "This is the currency of your hometown, and now it can be exchanged for hundreds of yuan, but it won't take long, and it's too hard to wipe your buttocks." ”

Babinov didn't understand what Li Xian meant, so he picked up the ruble curiously and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, are you exaggerating a little, how is this possible?"

"So some people have become poor, and some people have become rich. Mr. Babinov, it seems, is not wise, and it seems that he has the potential to become a pauper. Li Xian shook his head and sighed.

Babinov was a little annoyed, but after all, it was someone else's territory, he looked at the fourth master, and saw that he had a calm face, so he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, I respect you as a friend of the fourth master, but what good is it for you to curse me like this?"

Li Xian said unhurriedly: "I think Mr. Babinov is probably too careful, but in fact, I want to negotiate a deal with you." Of course, if Mr. Babinov thinks that his fortune is enough, then it can be said when I did not say. ”

"Buying and selling?" asked Babinov, confused.

"The Soviet Union has collapsed, sir, you are a Ukrainian, I don't know if Mr. is loyal to Ukraine, or is it the Soviet Union that has existed in name only?" Li Xian's mouth rose slightly, waiting for his answer for a long time.

Babinov said with some impatience: "As a Ukrainian, I naturally ......"

Just as he was expressing his loyalty, Li Xian pressed his hand and said: "You should be loyal to yourself, you are a businessman, you are looking for treasures in a pile of waste, but you are reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy a real antique, which shows that you are not a rich businessman, but you are a shrewd businessman." Now your chance has come, the collapse of the USSR, this is your chance. ”

"What chance?" asked Babinov in surprise, and at the same time shocked in his heart, he was indeed only true to himself.

"Trade with us, I want to export light industrial goods to the USSR. Li Xian said straight to the point.

"Why should I trade with you?" Babinov looked at Li Xian vigilantly, even a little jealous.

"Because you have no choice, do you want to keep a pile of rubles and wait for a big devaluation? or hold on to the corpses of the Soviet Union and wait for your death? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, if you don't even get a piece of the ready-made soup, you are not worthy of being a businessman. Besides, I could have found someone else to work with. Li Xian hit the nail on the head to point out the troubles in Babinov's heart.

Babinov has been really sad about the collapse of the Soviet Union recently, and the money in the bank is falling day by day, and he is about to turn gray.

"How can I trust you?" he hesitated for a moment, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw from drowning.

"I believe in him. The fourth master, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes.

Babinov was stunned, and when he saw that the fourth master had spoken, he continued: "I don't know what I can do?"

"We take the goods out of the country, you are responsible for selling them, and at the same time buy the goods from the Soviet Union for us, whatever method you use, even if it is smuggling, even if you break in with submarines and planes, or even mortgage it with guns and artillery, of course, you will bear the consequences. Li Xian smiled faintly and smiled indifferently.

"Wouldn't that be too much for me?" said Babinov shrugged.

"I knew I should have locked you up for a few more days. Li Xian spread his hands and smiled at the fourth master.

"Mr. Li, you Chinese pay the most attention to sincerity in doing business, but I can't see where your sincerity is. Babinov said coldly.

"You are wrong, the most reliable thing to maintain business is profit, we have money and relations, we are looking for you is already the greatest sincerity to you, of course, in order to show my personal sincerity, I can tell you an additional piece of information about making a fortune. Li Xian squinted his eyes as Babinov's face gradually changed from tense to surprised.

"Speak. Babinov almost pricked up his ears.

"Loans, it is better to repay them for a long time, the longer the better, borrow as much as you can. ”

"Are you really sure?" Babinov suddenly understood what Li Xian meant, as if he had touched a certain heartstring, and his eyes became warm.

"The Soviet Union is dead, will other countries let the Soviet Union go?" Li Xian nodded on the table.

"Since Mr. Li is full of sincerity, then I can't be stingy, I will take over Mr. Li's business. Babinov smiled boldly, and the speed of his face change shocked Xu Qianning on the side.

"This business should be as soon as possible, I will invest three million goods, and then it will depend on the sincerity of the gentleman. Li Xian is ready to put all his net worth, plus bank loans, all into Sino-Soviet trade, in the short term, this is a huge profit, three million goods for the Soviet Union, just a drop in the bucket, he believes that as long as this batch of goods into the Soviet Union will soon be snapped up, but he does not want rubles like waste paper.

The fourth master glanced at Li Xian in astonishment, where did he think that he had so much money at a young age, he naturally didn't want to miss this business, and said flatly: "I'll invest one million." ”

Li Xian nodded, and had to admire the courage of the fourth master.

"Don't worry, I still have some connections on the Soviet side, and I will definitely get things done. "Babinov made a rite peculiar to Ukrainians.

"Very good, the old man will help you too. The fourth master smiled.

Li Xian laughed as well, the fourth master was really an old fox, but he still didn't worry about Babinov, and openly planted eyeliner beside him.

Babinov didn't dare to say anything, nodding his head in agreement.

"In order to let you have no worries, your daughter will let me help raise the old man. The fourth master spoke again.

When Babinov heard this, his face was blue and purple, and Li Xian was busy playing a round and said: "Mr. Babinov, the situation in the Soviet Union is very unstable now, maybe there will be a war, and it seems that only China is the safest at present, I don't think Mr. wants to see any accidents for your family, right?"

"Then please two of you. Babinov bowed his head.

On the way back, Xu Qianning followed behind Li Xian step by step without saying a word.

"If you have anything on your mind, just say it, look at how unhappy you look. Li Xian said helplessly.

Xu Qianning plucked up the courage and asked, "Are you doing this a traitor?"

"Traitor?" Li Xian laughed, crossed his waist and said, "What do you want, I pay taxes, as for whether the Soviets pay taxes or not, I don't know." What's more, I am facilitating the suffering Soviets. And ......"

He left a sentence in his heart, and there are many technologies there that are ahead of China, if you can manage to get it, it can be regarded as doing your part for the country.
