Chapter 310: The Way Out (Part II)
Colored arctic fox refers to the mutant breed of coat color that appears in the arctic fox, such as the shadow fox, the arctic pearl fox, the arctic sapphire fox, the arctic platinum fox, etc., collectively known as the colored arctic fox. In particular, the light blue arctic fox is regarded as a treasure among arctic foxes. Their fur has outstanding characteristics in addition to maintaining the warmth of the Arctic fox haode, so it is very popular and sought after by those noble ladies in the international fur market. However, the number of wild colored arctic foxes is very rare, and most of the colored arctic fox fur on the market is from captive-bred arctic foxes. Fang Mingyuan also knew about it by chance in his previous life.
"I'm afraid that Mr. Fang will be disappointed" The voice came from behind him, Fang Mingyuan turned his head to look over, and saw a burly Russian man standing not far away like a black bear, the white breath exhaled from his mouth and the snowflakes flying in the sky were mixed together.
The escort arranged by Mihaloyl immediately greeted him and separated him from Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan could see clearly, the person seemed to have flashed his ID, and several escorts got out of the way.
Khodorkovsky whispered to Fang Mingyuan in surprise: "He said that he is the deputy general manager of the Alrosa company and the general manager of the branch of the Republic of Yakutia, and this person's name is Nikolasky." I came to see you and Ms. Aso. "The vice president of the Alrosa company, for an ordinary Soviet man like him, is a big official. Khodowski felt that his trip with Fang Mingyuan was really worth it, not only to be able to get a considerable reward, but also to open his eyes.
Nikolaisky let out a few breaths, he really can't wait until tomorrow, and tomorrow Fang Mingyuan and they are accompanied by Mikharoil, and if they want to talk in private, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient. Nikolaski knew that he was now racing against time, and if he could not arrange it before Waldzev cleaned himself up, he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
With his status in Yakutsk City, it was naturally not difficult to inquire about Fang Mingyuan's whereabouts, but when he arrived in a hurry, the staff in the hotel told him that Fang Mingyuan and his party had already gone out shopping.
Although he has been in the city of Yakutsk for many years, it is not easy to find a few people in such weather. If it weren't for the fact that Yakutsk City itself is not big, and Fang Mingyuan and his party are too eye-catching in the crowd, Nikolaisky, who arrived at the hotel one step late, would definitely not have been able to follow their footsteps like now.
"Nikolaisky? Vice President of the Alrosa company? The general manager of the branch? Fang Mingyuan's heart jumped, didn't he already say hello to Mihaloyle, he would go to visit the Alrosa company tomorrow, why did this one come over by himself. Was it a chance encounter? And this Nikolaysky did it on purpose? If it's a chance encounter, forget it, if it's intentional, there's something to say.
Nikolasky came to Fang Mingyuan's face, and couldn't help but be stunned, although he had also heard that Fang Mingyuan was not very old, but he didn't expect that he was so young and looked like a child from his country. Kazuki Aso also noticed Nikolaisky's arrival, put down the hat in his hand, and leaned over.
"Welcome to Yakutsk, I would like to introduce myself, I am Nikolasky of the Yakutsk branch of the Alrosa company, I have been informed by Minister Mikharoyle that tomorrow the two of you will visit the company, I did not expect to be able to meet them here by such a coincidence." Nikolasky took the initiative to reach out and say. Fang Mingyuan and Aso Kazuki shook hands with him.
Nikolaysky smiled, "If Mr. Fang wants to color the fur of the arctic fox, they won't have it here. "Now in the Soviet Union, the arctic fox breeding jishu is not mature, most of these furs are from the wild arctic fox, the probability of the appearance of colored arctic fox is naturally low, once it appears, it will naturally be purchased by the relevant departments, sent to the commercial system for officials, like this kind of street shop, naturally it is impossible.
Seeing a look of regret on Aso's face, Nikolaisky smiled: "If the two of you really want it, then this matter is on me." I don't dare to say more, two or three furs can still be found. "He has worked in the Republic of Yakutia for many years, and he has a lot of connections, so he is sure that he will collect a few photos.
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Nikolai," Fang Mingyuan responded with a push of the boat. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be diligent, and you will be treacherous or slippery. Nikolaisky's initiative to come forward in this way was eighty percent of what he wanted. However, if he has something to ask for, he has something to ask, so he is better to ask for a rough diamond. It would be a pity if Nikolaysky had asked for nothing.
Nikolaisky's heart is a stone that has partially fallen to the ground, and since the other party has not rejected his kindness, it is at least a haode beginning. But at the same time, he was also sure of one thing, it seemed that Fang Mingyuan's status was higher than that of Aso Xiangyue, at least he could make decisions for Aso Xiangyue. In this way, Nikolaisky's heart is a little more down-to-earth, young people, do things mostly according to preferences, and like to fight unevenly, and have little social experience, it is easier to persuade Fang Mingyuan by himself than to persuade Aso Kazuki.
Next, Nikolaysky joined Fang Mingyuan and his party, he has worked in Yakutsk City for many years, and he is a high-level cadre, so he is naturally much clearer about the situation in the Soviet Union than ordinary people, and chatting with Fang Mingyuan and Aso Kazuki is also more real. Fang Mingyuan took the opportunity to ask to buy the original diamonds of the Alrosa Company, and Nikolaski felt more confident when he heard this, so he naturally patted his chest and promised that he would not let Fang Mingyuan and them return empty-handed.
Aso Xiangyue smiled secretly in her heart on the side, she could see that Nikolaysky must have something to ask for, so she took care of things like this, and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan and herself, but this deputy general manager of Alrosa Company, he obviously found the wrong breakthrough, and it was by no means easy to take advantage of Fang Mingyuan.
Moreover, Nikolaysky probably only thought that Fang Mingyuan was planning to buy some rough diamonds to bring back to China, but he did not expect that the purchase in Fang Mingyuan's mouth would be hundreds of millions of rubles.
The wind and snow on the street became even heavier, and Fang Mingyuan, who had been out for a long time, also felt that their hands and feet were a little cold, so everyone discussed that they were going back.
"Would you like to try the traditional cuisine of the Republic of Yakutia?" Nikolaski smiled, "I know an authentic traditional restaurant, I don't know if the two of you would like to enjoy it in the evening." ”
"Traditional cuisine?" Fang Mingyuan glanced at the translator Khodorkovsky in surprise, could it be that there is anything unique about the catering in the Republic of Yakutia?
Khodorkovsky whispered in Fang Mingyuan's ear: "Mr. Nikolaisky is probably talking about horse meat...... It turns out that because the Republic of Yakutia is located around the Arctic Circle, the environment is very harsh. Especially before the invention of modern means of transport, transportation here was even more inconvenient, so when it comes to eating, the Yakutian tradition is to use everything available. At Yakut weddings, the best food served by the brides is a boiled horse's head and some horse sausages
In years when food is scarce, they even cut the inner skin of trees such as spruce and fir into thin pieces, or grind them into flour, make porridge or bread, and then eat them with milk and dried fish meal. Today, although the transportation conditions in the Republic of Yakutia have improved and there is much more food, horse meat is still an important ingredient on the menus of restaurants.
"Horse meat" Fang Mingyuan muttered a little, I really haven't eaten this thing, but it is estimated that it will not be very delicious, otherwise, in the Huaxia American recipe, Weishenme dishes with horse meat as raw materials are rarely heard of. Aso Kazuki also hesitated, horses are no better than pigs, cows, sheep and other edible domestic animals, horses have always been a friend of mankind. Want to eat horse meat? This was something I never thought I would have.
Nikolaysky also saw that Fang Mingyuan and the others were a little hesitant, so he changed his words and said, "That's good, I'll find a Western restaurant in the evening." Everyone laughed and passed.
Everyone who returned to the hotel did birds and beasts, everyone went back to their respective rooms, and Nikolaysky followed Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue to Fang Mingyuan's room, and everyone sat down as guests. Khodorkovsky also sat behind Fang Mingyuan. Chen Zhong sat in the corner of the room.
Nikolaysky glanced at Khodorkovsky, and glanced at Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan noticed that Nikolasky's gaze fell on Khodorkovsky, a little unclear, without Khodorkovsky, then someone else would have to come to translate, neither he nor Aso Kazuki knew Russian.
"Mr. Fang, Ms. Aso, next, we can formally talk about the corresponding matters related to the purchase of rough diamonds." Nikolaisky suddenly said in English. Or a typical London accent. Fang Mingyuan was stunned, and then he understood that Nikolaysky meant to let Khodorkovsky avoid it.
"Khodorkovsky, since Mr. Nikolaysky can speak English, then you can go back to your room and rest." Fang Mingyuan sent Khodorkovsky out of the room.
"Mr. Nikolaiski, you speak English very well," Aso said with a smile.
"My English teacher studied in London. So I can barely listen to it. Nikolaisky's smile was tinged with smugness.
