Chapter 765: Ivan the Polar Bear
"Hey, Little Mardan, it seems that you are right, this steak made me taste like home. ”
"It's really good, I think I can have another one, it tastes great!"
Ma Dan looked at the two rude, barbaric and uneducated fellows opposite, speechless for a while. He really couldn't figure out why such people would still participate in such an exchange meeting.
Those were two bear-like guys, and if I had to find the difference, it was the difference between a polar bear and a brown bear - not the color of the coat, but the size.
The polar bear is Ivan from Kololiefu, the country of the goose, and the brown bear is Anderson from the mold country of Ratjefu. Together, these two guys don't look like businessmen at all and more like two heavyweight combat boxers – if you don't consider their age.
Watching them wipe out a piece of steak in two bites, Mardan was really skeptical about what they tasted like.
Ma Dan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and these two false and wronged snakes, and at the same time regretted in his heart, regretting why he just said the words of helping Yan Feila and a few people taste steak.
It's because of the girl next to that guy......
It's hard to imagine that in this world, there are such elegant and exquisite beauties. When she is alone, that kind of cold and elegant temperament makes people can't help but feel close but afraid of blaspheming that beauty. When she was with her boyfriend, she changed instantly, and she was gentle, quiet and virtuous and virtuous that belonged to the unique oriental beauty, which made people want to use their eyes to overshoot the man next to her......
Especially when her boyfriend is chatting, she always stands quietly and looks at her boyfriend, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling because of his words and expressions...... That kind of posture is simply fascinating, and it makes people want to watch it all the time.
Only when she said something that made Yan Fei happy, the girl would slightly shift her gaze and give herself a plausible smile. Just that smile makes you intoxicated......
So, now I have to eat steak with two guys who look more like mafia thugs than businessmen!
It's a tragedy!
Another reason for this tragedy is that Madan does not have the most important position in the exchange group as he says, or the popularity of everyone who loves flowers and flowers - in fact, because he is a self-proclaimed traveler, he is still a little less popular in the exchange group.
"The rancher who provided you with such steaks also participated in this exchange meeting. He wanted to find a reliable partner to bring such food to more people. As he spoke, Martin quickly took another bite of the steak, and I have to say that delicious food can indeed make people feel a lot more comfortable.
Since you promised Yan Fei, you must do things well. The point is, Ma Dan also hopes that if he can really bring someone who is interested in beef to Yan Fei, then he can take a few more glances at that girl - if he can't do it, he doesn't think that the very utilitarian guy will take care of him.
God is really unfair, why would such a girl fall in love with a person who is bent on utilitarianism and does not understand amorous feelings. And I have to follow him to participate in this kind of exchange meeting full of copper smell. Isn't that kind of girl supposed to stay in a villa by the sea, and do things every day to water the flowers and play the piano with the sea breeze......
Hearing Ma Dan's words, the two big men were obviously very moved. It's just that after Mr. Brown Bear moved up, he quickly calmed down, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this place is too far away from my hometown." Otherwise, I'd rather go and see which rancher can produce such a good quality beef......"
Arrogant moldy countryman!
Madan could see Mr. Brown Bear's face and know that the reason he said was not the real reason at all. But it's no wonder that in the hearts of the moldy guys, they are the center of the world, and their things are good, including their standards.
Like the beef that everyone eats now, it is difficult to open the market, even if it tastes good.
Mr. Polar Bear is still very direct: "I think I need to get to know this rancher, maybe there is a possibility of cooperation......"
Many people have always felt that there is basically no export of beef in China. In fact, in the year of the flood, China's beef exports were the highest in the history of 43,000 tons, while the import volume was only 0.35 tons. Fourteen years later, beef imports suddenly increased to nearly 300,000 tons, while exports plummeted to less than 60,000 tons.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of which is that the level of domestic consumption has greatly increased, and people can afford to eat beef. In the past, although farmers raised a large number of free-range cattle, most people rarely ate beef because the consumption level could not support it.
Ma Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found someone who was willing to talk to that guy, maybe he could take this opportunity to take advantage of their cooperation......
Thinking like this, Ma Dan was a little impatient: "Mr. Ivan, why don't we go and talk to the rancher?"
"Okay!" said Mr. Polar Bear, who was a very straightforward man, and immediately shoved the last bit of food into his mouth in a few bites and stood up.
The banquet outside was not too lively, everyone focused on conversation, and rarely pulled people to persuade them to drink. We all know that the people who come here are coming with a purpose, and if you drink too much at noon, if it affects the exchange meeting in the afternoon, you will have to pay for the loss.
Yan Fei walked in from outside and picked up his wine glass with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's a little trivial to go out." I'll punish myself!"
Boss Niu joked to him with a smile: "I think you have to change it to a teacup if you want to be fined, Lao Ma, can you see it, Boss Yan's amount of wine is unfathomable!"
Everyone else deliberately controls their drinking, and only when they really shirk it can't lift their glasses. Yan Fei is not afraid of drinking, and he is even more lazy to find all kinds of reasons to shirk, so compared with a group of people who hold a shelf and don't drink just now, the difference can be clearly seen.
Now the people at the table drank the most, and he didn't have the reaction to drink too much. The people at the table are all veterans of the wine field, who can't see it?
Boss Ma also smiled: "That's no way, we don't dare to drink today, or if we fight a table of people together, it is estimated that we can see the amount of wine that Brother Yan has." ”
Everyone else laughed, some of them made a little joke about the older ones, and some of them complimented them consciously or unconsciously. It's not that Yan Fei's popularity is so good, it's because through the conversation just now, I learned that he can communicate directly with those foreigners without interpreting.
Communication with a translator is a more direct way to seek cooperation. If you don't need a translator, it's a lot more casual, anyway, as long as you have an interest in talking, you can talk about anything, and it's easier to make friends. The people at the same table are not stupid, and they feel that they have a good relationship with Yan Fei now, and maybe they can let him help introduce them later.
Yan Fei was well aware of these situations, but he felt that it was all incidental. It's not a bad thing to expand the scope of communication, and it doesn't cost much to yourself, anyway, I have to continue to look for partners in the afternoon, and if I meet the right person, it is not a hassle to introduce these people.
While there was a harmonious atmosphere at the wine table, suddenly a staff member led two foreigners over.
The guy in front of him who was a little oily and powdery shouted at Yan Fei, "Hi, Yan Fei." Look who I brought here? This is Mr. Ivan from Great Russia, who has eaten beef from your pasture and is particularly interested in it. Can't wait to meet you, the amazing rancher......"
Yan Fei stood up and thanked Ma Dan first, and then stretched out his hand: "Mr. Ivan, hello." I'm Yan Fei. ”
Ivan reached out to hold his hand, and slapped his other hand his shoulder: "I feel it, you must be more than just a simple rancher. Maybe we'll be good friends, if not collaborators. ”
"Aren't we friends now?" Yan Fei said jokingly. In fact, I was confused: What do you feel? Is there some misunderstanding about this Mr. Polar Bear?
Next to him, Ma Dan was looking left and right......
Ivan looked at the table full of people looking at him, and said to Yan Fei: "Maybe I didn't come at the right time, should I wait until you finish eating?"
"It's okay, I've actually eaten everything. Yan Fei said with a smile. "If you're eating well, we can go and have a good talk. ”
"No problem. Ivan said cheerfully.
After a while, Ivan and Yan Fei, as well as Ma Dan, who had been absentminded, came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the lobby on the top floor, each holding a large wine glass in their hands.
"It's my favorite. Ivan took a sip of his wine glass, then looked at Yan Fei and said comfortably.
"It's very exciting. Yan Fei smiled and took a sip as well. "Mr. Madan, won't you taste it?"
"Oh!" the distracted Madan came back to his senses, shook the glass lightly twice, and then drank it in one gulp...... "Poof...... Oh my god, is this alcohol?"
"Hahaha!" Ivan smirked. "This is something that only men drink, and you are obviously not enough for men compared to Yan. ”
……
Ma Dan's face darkened, and he forcibly resisted the hot feeling in his mouth, and retorted: "A man doesn't mean that alcohol can prove it...... Well, the topic is over for now. I want to ask, Yan Fei, did you just leave your female companion downstairs like this? Isn't this a gentleman's practice?"
I knew that your kid was not a good person, and you wanted to see my daughter-in-law, right?
Yan Fei smiled proudly in his heart, and his face remained silent: "Oh, she still has to go to school in the afternoon, and she has already left early just now!"
"I didn't think she's still a student!" Ma Dan said with a stiff face, then forced a smile. The heart is galloping, you said it early, the fool brought this polar bear to you!
In addition to being disappointed, Ma Dan still tried his best to maintain his demeanor: "I think you and Mr. Ivan must have something to say, then I won't bother the two of you, I wish you a happy cooperation!"
As soon as he left, Ivan looked in the direction he left and said, "Obviously, this Gallic chicken ...... In your words, drunk people don't care about alcohol? Am I right?"
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Yan Fei said in Chinese, and then said with a smile. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least it wasn't too obvious. ”
"Hahaha!" Ivan laughed again. "I don't think he'll make it alive if he shows it. Am I right, Yan Fei?"
"Why do you say that?" Yan Fei said unexpectedly.
"You know what? I spent time on the battlefield before the collapse of the Soviets. Ivan stopped smiling and said. "I think I can survive, I can live well, I rely on my magical sixth sense. ”
Yan Fei felt awkward all over, you are such a big five or three thick guy, talking about the sixth sense, it is a bit too disobedient!
"I can feel it, from the first sight of you, that you're not as harmless as you seem. As I could feel, the Gallic chicken had always thought I was a polar bear. ”
"......" Yan Fei was speechless, your sixth sense is still quite spiritual. Yan Fei himself felt that although Mr. Ma Dan was polite, he probably didn't have a good impression of this Mr. Ivan.
Picking up the wine glass and signaling to Ivan, and then taking a big sip, Yan Fei deliberately made the appearance of being deceived: "I have to say, your appearance deceived me!"
"Haha!" Ivan laughed again. "From the very beginning of my business, I found out that the mall and the battlefield are the same. A qualified businessman must be like a sniper on the battlefield, with enough camouflage. ”
"That's why you said we'd be friends?" Yan Fei laughed.
"That's right, I said we can be friends even if we can't work together. Ivan nodded triumphantly and raised his glass. "Cheers to my words. ”
"Cheers!" Yan Fei touched his glass.
Yan Fei's current figure is definitely the most standard in the eyes of normal people. However, compared to this Ivan, it suddenly felt like he was several sizes smaller. At first, looking at Ivan's appearance, it is estimated that anyone will feel that this is a rude guy. Who knows that after chatting, I will know that this person can come to the exchange meeting not by the arms that can run horses, but by his brain.
Ivan's performance, if you talk about it seriously, is a bit profound. But that also depends on people, like Yan Fei, I feel that this polar bear is very good. What is the best thing to say, polite or something, it's a waste of time.
Then the two men began to talk about it, and Ivan talked about how he had started from scratch with great difficulty, and then did business on the border between China and Great Russia...... By the way, this first business was to collect 'tolls' with people. It was really a 'white' home, and there was nothing but the gun on his shoulder.
Yan Fei was noncommittal about this, at that time, it was a lucrative business to sell goods from Huaxia to Big Goose, and many people were willing to pay this toll. Anyway, in terms of the situation at that time, even if there was an extra toll, many people still made a lot of money in that era, counting the money until their hands cramped.
Yan Fei can also guess the rest of the things, this person collects the toll and collects it, and feels that it is not enjoyable, seeing that others earn so much, he only collects so much while carrying a gun, and he begins to go into the water in person.
The two talked for a long time, and they didn't talk about business cooperation, but Yan Fei was not in a hurry. Madan said, it can't be too utilitarian, maybe it's not bad to know such an interesting guy.
If Ivan, who was full of interest, knew that Yan Fei just thought he was 'interesting', it is estimated that most of them would not be so interested!
If you don't say that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, this is really true.
