Chapter 50 Cut off the beard! Someone wants to rob Jia Lei's things!
"Don't make such a mess of surprises next time, I'll delay business more when I come out!" Su Renfeng said.
"Don't worry, you won't have to worry about running out of business after you go back this time! Because of my big surprise, we will become the largest Chinese wholesaler in Kazan, and countless people will send you money when you sit at home in the future." Jia Lei said with a smile.
"How is it possible for me to become the largest Chinese wholesaler in Kazan? I am now only a medium-sized wholesaler in Manchuria by virtue of Natasha's family's relationship on the border and the location of our hometown in the free trade zone. I can't even think of becoming a big wholesaler!" Su Renfeng said helplessly.
Now everyone knows that it is easy to make money here, and countless large and small masters in China have flocked to it, and Manchuria is now full of Chinese people. Some of them dumped large bags at the border, and some of them, like Su Renfeng, opened wholesale stores in Manchuria and other free trade zones.
"Manchuria is just a small place, and you don't make much money doing business there? If we want to make a lot of money, we have to look at the three largest cities in Eros. Moscow is a mixed bag and the capital, so we can't get there at all. Ekaterina Fort is not bad, but we have no connections and no connections in one place, and we can't develop. So I'm going to put our base camp in Kazan!" Jia Lei said.
"Kazan is indeed a good place, it is one of the three capital cities of Eros, and it is the only place in Eross where shock therapy is not practised! Now the taxes of enterprises in other parts of Eross have risen, but Tatarstan has not raised taxes. It's now one of the most stable cities in Ross!," Su Renfeng said.
"In addition to taxation and stability, I chose Kazan mainly because I have connections there! You have also heard that I have recognized a particularly powerful relative over there, let's go to Kazan to do business, and no Russian police will dare to check my goods! Let alone the police of country E will dare to come to extort money!" Jia Lei said with a sneer.
"However, the relations between Kazan and Moscow are now so tense that it may not be easy for us to transport goods from China to Kazan? Su Renfeng said with a frown.
"What if the checkpoints on the earth are strict, can we still walk from the sky? Jia Lei said indifferently.

After a few days of traveling, the train finally stopped at Kirov, which was Jia Lei's destination.
"Fat Xia, we are going to get off the car first, and I came to say goodbye to you. Jia Lei said to Xia Fatzi.
"Huh, the train hasn't arrived in Moscow yet, why are you in such a hurry?" asked Xia Fatzi puzzled.
"We are not going to Moscow, I am going to Kazan this time in country E. After we get off here, we can take a local Russian bus to Kazan. Jia Lei said.
"Oh, then I wish you all the best, and I hope we'll see each other next time. Xia Fatzi said.
"Okay! I hope we can meet again next time. Jia Lei nodded and said.
"Hong Xia, hurry up and pack up your things, let's go. Dasha shouted with two large bags.
"Hey, I'll come now. Hong Xia walked over with her belongings and said.
"Huh, why do you guys want to get off here?" asked Fat Xia looking at Hong Chen and the three of them in surprise.
Jia Lei said that he would take us to Kazan for business. It was our first time in Russia, and we were not familiar with the language or the local situation, so Jia Lei could help us get familiar with the market as soon as possible. Hong Chen nodded and said.
"But now all the Chinese go to Moscow to do business, and the money they make there is the most! Do you really not go with me?" asked Xia Fatzi.
"Prices in Moscow are high, but competition is fierce, and there are thousands of our own compatriots doing business in Moscow, and even more in other Western countries. And there are also Vietnamese and North Koreans, who are our biggest competitors. Jia Lei said.
"But I've never been to Kazan, and our group of unfortunate men have always sold goods along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and I've heard that some people go to Yekaterinburg to do business! But Kazan seems to have to apply for a visa separately, and ordinary Russian passports can't do it there. Kirov was even less crowded! At most, they were selling at the local train station when the train was stopping. Xia Fatzi said.
"That's why I asked Hong Chen to get off in Kirov, anyway, Kazan is quite close to here, and it's convenient to load goods back and forth. If it doesn't work, I'll take them to Moscow again, I still know a few people there, and it's no problem to bring a few friends. Jia Lei said.
"When you say that, I really want to go to Kazan! I've heard that it's one of the three major capitals of Russia, and the people in it are very rich. Xia Fatzi glanced at Hong Xia and said.
"Great! You've been doing business here for more than a year, and if you come with us, my brother and I will have someone to ask you how to do business with the people of country E." Hong Xia said happily.
"Don't worry, I'm an expert when it comes to doing business! I'm very aware of the prices here, and I've dealt with the police here. Know where to set up a stall and where not to set up a stall!" said Xia Fatzi, patting his chest.
Jia Lei looked at his ostentatious male peacock appearance, and knew that he was not a drunkard.
"Alright, don't grind, if you want to go, come along, and the train will leave without getting off." Jia Lei said.
Then a group of people got off the train with large bags and small bags, and Jia Lei was not surprised to see the person who came to pick him up on the platform.
"Grandpa asked me to pick you up, and he said you would be there in the next two days. Udiste said to Jia Lei with a smile.
"This is too troublesome for you, it is common for trains in Siberia to be delayed, you have been waiting here for a long time, right?" Jia Lei asked embarrassedly.
"No! It's only an hour or two. Udiste said.
"To be honest, I'm embarrassed to ask such a young and promising officer like you to accompany me every day. I'm sure I'm delaying your business?" Jia Lei said.
"What are you embarrassed about? I'm sorry, my grandfather said that you have reserved a lot of shares for our family in the newly opened company. How can our family be embarrassed to do nothing and take your money for nothing!, so accompanying you everywhere and handling the company's affairs is what I should do!" said Udis.
"You don't have anything to do, and if it weren't for Uncle Utars's backing, I wouldn't be able to do business here. Jia Lei said.
"You are the grandson of Aunt Wuyunge, we should take care of you! Udiste blushed and said that he felt like he was taking advantage of his little cousin.
"We Chinese people have an old saying, brothers settle accounts! Not to mention that we are just cousins. Now that we have become a cooperative relationship, I will be embarrassed to ask you all kinds of things in the future. Otherwise, sometimes, I'm really embarrassed to always trouble my uncle to help me solve the problem!" Jia Lei said.
"You're right, sometimes a partnership is more convenient than a kinship. Udiste said.
"How many cars did you drive this time? I brought a few friends over this time, I don't know if I can sit down?" Jia Lei asked.
"No problem! I always have several cars with me when I go out, after all, it's not peaceful now......" Udiste said meaningfully.
At this time, it was the fiercest year of the struggle between Tatarstan and Moscow for its independence, and the confrontation between the two sides had entered a white-hot situation, and although everyone had refrained from using force to settle the dispute in reality, the war of words between the two sides had already reached the international level in the newspapers and other media.
"This is also too cool, isn't it!" After Xia Fatzi followed Jia Lei and them to the parking lot, he couldn't help but praise the rows of military jeeps and off-road vehicles with heavy firepower.
"It's the first time I've seen so many real guys in my life!" Hong Chen also said as he looked at the machine gun on the roof of the car with bright eyes.
"Oh my God, this is the most advanced weapons and equipment right now!" Luo Nan said as he walked over and touched the door of the off-road vehicle.
His action was just a temptation!
When Luo Nan found that the people in the car did not stop him, he immediately turned around and made a request to Jia Lei.
"Boss, can you talk to your cousin and let me touch these weapons?" Luo Nan asked in Russian, so that everyone next to him could understand.
"Of course, as Jia Lei's bodyguards, you should be familiar with the operation of these weapons! In the future, when Jia Lei goes out in our country, I will also help him equip him with these weapons and personnel to protect him. It's better for you to familiarize yourself with it in advance!" Udis said, nodding.
"Great! We're going to learn well. Luo Nan said as he climbed onto the SUV and asked the Tatar soldiers on it for advice.
Seeing this, several other bodyguards immediately put their luggage on the truck, and they all found their favorite weapons and equipment nearby to familiarize themselves.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the city of Kazan. Udiste said with a smile.

"My grandfather prepared 1 villa for you in Kazan as a gift, and I will take you to see it. Udiste said.
"We'll talk about the villa later, you can send us to the hotel near here first." I'll settle my friends before I go to see my uncle!" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.
"Xia Fatzi, do you know where the Chinese people who do business in Kazan live?" Jia Lei asked.
"Of course I know, most of us stay at the Professor Hans Youth Hostel. Xia Fatzi said.
"That's good! I'll get you there. Jia Lei nodded and said.
This so-called youth hostel was opened by an old professor Hans, who had been to Huaxia to build with the aid of China, and he and his wife spoke Chinese fluently, and he had a small house next to the city center, so he opened a hotel.
Most of the people they manage in their homes are people who slide down to do business!
The Hanse Guesthouse is located next to the square in the city center, with a tram stop and a metro station nearby. Xia Fatzi and the others live in a suite, which includes a bedroom, a large reception room, a row of large cabinets, as well as a writing desk, bedside table, dresser, telephone, etc.
"We have hot water here 24 hours a day, so you can take a shower whenever you want. Mrs. Hans said.
"I'm a little thirsty and want to have some hot water, where's your thermos here? Hong Xia said that she also wanted to fetch some water to come back and clean up the house.
"Sorry, we don't have hot water bottles in our country, but we have hot water available 24 hours a day in our hotel, you can pick it up with a cup. Mrs. Hans said.
"Oh my God, don't you have a kettle in your country? What do you do when you want to drink hot water? Is it all freshly boiled?" Dasha asked in surprise.
"You're right, people in country E want to drink hot water freshly boiled. Anyway, every house here has natural gas, and boiling water is convenient and cheap. I brought our hot water bottle from China! Just to make milk powder for my son. Su Renfeng said.
"But as far as I know, there are many places in Russia that are sparsely populated and do not have gas, and in some places there are no kitchens. It's so inconvenient that there isn't even a thermos here!" Jia Lei said with a frown.
"It's really inconvenient! A pair of thermos bottles at home were sent from the capital by a student of my husband in Huaxia in his early years. Hua's thermos is amazing, and my neighbors are envious of my ability to drink hot water at any time. Mrs. Hans said proudly.
"Luo Nan, you remember to write down the thermos, let's call the country later, and ask someone to order a batch of thermos to send over to try the market. Jia Lei commanded.
"Good boss. Luo Nan nodded and said.
"Hong Xia, you can help me sell that batch of goods first, you have to remember to help me count the sales and popularity of each sample! These goods are just samples, and I want to import the popular ones in large quantities in the future, so the sales investigation is very important." Jia Lei said to Hong Xia.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you write it down!" Hong Xia nodded and said.
"Okay, you guys just stay here for now, I've got other things to do, I'll go." After Jia Lei finished speaking, he left.
However, he left Mo Bei and the three of them behind, and only took Luo Nan away.
"Boss, why did you only take me alone this time?" asked Luo Nan.
"We're going shopping this time, and you know a lot about machinery. Later, I will give you the instructions for the things you want to buy, and you must read them carefully! When we buy the goods, you remember to check them carefully, and don't be deceived by others. This time the goods are very expensive, and even one part is missing!" Jia Lei told him.
"Jia Lei, don't worry, I will bring professionals in the army to check it for you, and I won't let people do anything on the plane. Udiste said.
"That's good!" Jia Lei nodded and said.
"But while I can guarantee that no one will be tampering with the plane, I can't guarantee that no one will be tampering with the transaction!" Udist said with a wry smile.
"What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with my plane?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.
"We have already negotiated with the Ukrainian military about the price of a plane of 20 million US dollars, as long as you put the money into their country's account, the Ukrainian military can ship it immediately. But I don't know who leaked the deal, and now people from many countries are coming to grab this order. Therefore, the people of the Ukrainian military want to sit on the ground and raise the price, and they want us to increase the price. Udiste said.
"This kind of thing will definitely not work! Once I add money, others may also increase the price, and then a good order will become an auction. Maybe in the end, the price of these planes will be higher than the original selling price!" Jia Lei shook his head and said.
"I think so too, my grandfather said that the price must not be raised! So our negotiations with the Ukrainian military are deadlocked. The deposit of 10 million US dollars you have already made, it is absolutely impossible for the Ukrainian military to vomit the meat in your mouth when you see this posture, so no matter what, we have to go to the ukeran in person this time. Udiste said.
"Then let's go! I want to see who wants to snatch food from my mouth, and someone wants to grab something that I have already settled on with so much effort?" Jia Lei said angrily.
You must know that in order to let the Ukrainian military sell planes, Utars relied on his own face to negotiate with the other party's high-level for several months, and only then did he finalize the order for the four planes and one ship.
After all, spot planes are very rare!
In particular, it is rare to see a spot aircraft with a price of only half of the original price, not to mention that this is a military transport aircraft that can be used for both military and civilian purposes, and the quality is much better than that of ordinary civilian transport aircraft!
Many small countries do not even have a military aircraft, and many people must be vying for this kind of aircraft when it comes out, after all, there are only two countries that can produce such high-end military aircraft.
In the former Soviet Union, other countries can't buy it with money!
Therefore, when the international community knew that Ukraine wanted to sell a few Il-76 strategic transport aircraft, Britain, the United States, Russia, and France, including India, South Korea, and other countries, sent people to negotiate.
It is said that even countries in Africa have sent people to join in the fun!
There are many wolves and little meat, and there are many countries that want to buy military transport aircraft, but the planes of the ukrainian are limited after all, and many major countries have already negotiated with each other.
Due to the international situation, some people want to buy planes, but some people don't want the Ukrainian military to sell planes, and now they are all in time for the branch venues of international conferences.
Various national groups gang up and confront each other!
Everyone's eyes are on the remaining bombers and even aircraft carriers in Ukraine, and some small countries that are incapable only dare to sneak up on the idea of transport planes.
After all, those big countries still disdain to stop Ukraine from selling this kind of thing.
The transport planes ordered by Jia Lei have become sought-after goods, and countless people are eyeing up to intercept this order, after all, the price of this aircraft order is really too cheap.
The price is lower than half price, whether it is bought by the state or by the private sector, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After all, there are discounts on Black Friday in shopping malls every year, but the sale of ancestral property by a loser in Ukraine is not something that can be encountered every year......
