Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Russian Liar Meets a Nightclub
When I returned to Manzhouli, I asked the driver to take us to a street, and I hurried to buy fifty boxes of slimming tea at the pharmacy, and went to the mall to buy a lot of food and fruits and a few bottles of liquor. Then Xiaomei led us to a newly opened restaurant, thinking that after returning to Novosibirsk, we would not be able to eat Chinese food for some days. Xiaomei looked at our eating appearance, smiled and leaned back, and asked us: "Look at you like this, do you not need to eat for a few days after eating this meal?" I replied with a burp: "Tomorrow we will go to Russia, and today we have embodied all our nostalgia for the motherland and homeland." Hearing me say this, Brother Chao and the driver both laughed, and the driver in his forties said: "I also went to Chita once, and Lao Maozi's things really can't be eaten, just because of this, I can't run a tour group." ”
At this time, Xiaomei said on the side: "I really want to join a three-day tour group to see what Russia is like, but my parents disagree, saying that the tour group is not safe." Brother Dapeng Chao, do you recruit people? I'll go to Novosibirsk with you, I've had enough of this little place in Manchuria. Brother Chao smiled and said: "We both lack wives and want to recruit wives, do you want to recruit Xiaomei?" Xiaomei blushed and said, "Brother Chao, you are too bad, what I said is true, but you sincerely joke with others." I've only been to Hailar since I was so big, and I really want to be like you guys and go out and see what the world is like, and I usually teach myself Russian. When Brother Chao heard this, he praised Xiaomei again and again, "Xiaomei, you have ambitions, you study Russian hard, and when you learn Russian almost, I will help you arrange an opportunity to work in Russia." Xiaomei said happily when she heard this: "Brother Chao, you must count when you speak, I will go to a night school tomorrow to learn Russian." "It seems that this beautiful girl is very careful and not satisfied with the status quo.
After eating, I thought that there would be a fat brother and Lao Chen Sveta on the international column tomorrow, so I asked the hotel waiter to pack a few catties of beef sauce elbow and a dozen scallion pancakes. Xiaomei's eyes widened and asked me, "Dapeng, what are you doing here?" Can you finish it? I smiled and said, "I have to take the international train for three or four days, I am bored on the bus, I bring more delicious food, I eat, sleep, sleep, eat, what else can I do?" Xiaomei pouted and said, "Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, then you are simply a pig." I smiled wickedly and said, "Xiaomei, not only am I in the car, but Brother Chao is the same in the car, so what do you mean, Brother Chao and I are both pigs." Brother Chao, did you hear it, Xiaomei said that you are a pig. Xiaomei, be careful that you offend Brother Chao, Brother Chao will not help you in the future. Xiaomei angrily raised her little hand and slapped me, "Dapeng, you are too bad, I didn't say Brother Chao, Brother Chao will not be like you." Brother Chao smiled and said, "Xiaomei, you fight harder, this bad boy's skin is too tight." Xiaomei heard the gesture and wanted to slap me again, and I grinned and quickly flashed to the side.
The driver took us back to the hotel, settled the fare with him, and then agreed with him, and he came to pick us up early tomorrow morning to take us to the train station. I was afraid that after the cooked food packed in the restaurant was brought back to the room, the refrigerator in the room was too small to fit, and the cooked food would spoil if the temperature was high in the room, so I left the cooked food in the car, and asked the driver to go home and park, and when he parked the car, the window should not be completely closed and a gap was left slightly. Xiaomei wanted to send us to the international train the next morning, but we said it was too early and didn't ask her to send us to the station.
Back in the room, Brother Chao went to the bathroom. Because I'm going to wake up early tomorrow, I'm going to pack my things. Suddenly, the phone rang, I picked up the phone and listened, it was the voice of the company's boss. I said, "Hello Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang said: "Hello Dapeng! Where have you been on this day? After a day of calling, no one answered. I replied, "Mr. Zhang, we went to Dalai Lake for a day today." Mr. Zhang smiled when he heard this, "That's the case, I thought something happened to you, you are also working hard these days, it's good to relax, I heard that the scenery of Dalai Lake is very beautiful." I said, "Yes, the scenery of Dalai Lake is so beautiful, Mr. Zhang, you will have the opportunity to come and travel in the future." Mr. Zhang said: "Okay, I will definitely go to see if I have the opportunity, what about Wang Chao?" I replied, "Brother Chao is in the bathroom, do you have something to do with him?" Mr. Zhang said: "There are some things to arrange for you, I will tell you about it first, and then I will talk to Wang Chao later." That's right, the import and export department (our company is divided into several departments, I and Chao brother in the import and export department) have a customer in Cheliabinsko, who has bartered with us in the KAMAZ truck before, this time they can provide a batch of KAMAZ accessories, and ask us to provide them with some new barter goods, the second department faxed the pictures and quotations of plastic flowers, they are very interested and want to see physical samples. After you return to Novosibirsk, the container of plastic flowers should also arrive, after receiving the container, you send some samples of plastic flowers to the customer, and Xiao Wang will fax the address of the customer in Chelyabinsko. I said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry." Is there anything else you'd like to explain? Mr. Zhang said, "You also need to communicate more with Redstone's customers to see what else they have that can be used for bartering?" In addition, timber should also communicate with customers, and several buyers have been contacted here, all of whom are long-term demands. I said: "Understood, Mr. Zhang, Brother Chao has already contacted Bart yesterday, Bart can deliver ten wagons in ten days, our onions must be delivered on time, and the personnel will also go to Manchuria. After listening to this, Mr. Zhang said with satisfaction: "Yes, the onions have been purchased, and the delivery personnel in Manchuria in the past have also been arranged, and they will be in place in a week." Dapeng, you have made great progress during this time when you have been out, listening to Wang Chao, your Russian can already communicate freely with Russians, and when you exercise again, I will arrange for you to be alone. I was very excited when I heard this, and quickly said, "Thank you, leader!" I'm going to do my best. At this time, Brother Chao came out of the bathroom, took the phone and talked to Mr. Zhang for a while.
After putting down the phone, Brother Chao said: "Mr. Zhang is quite satisfied with our initial work in Novosibirsk, and has repeatedly praised your cousin. If we want to return to Novosibirsk and follow them closely, we will send out the second batch of chemical raw materials as much as possible, and the domestic chemical plants are in high demand, and then see if there is anything else that can be done with them? After thinking about it, he said: "Brother Chao, I'll go back and ask Roman, his father turned out to be the leader of the big factory, and he should have a lot of connections, see if he can help us find some resources, preferably not in Novosibirsk, we must try not to be controlled by Varroca." Brother Chao nodded and said, "That's a good idea, you are already very good at Russian now, and you can develop customers independently." I scratched my head and said, "Brother Chao is not good yet, I still need you to come forward at the critical moment." Brother Chao smiled and said, "Where is your kid's usual self-confidence and cleverness?" You just have to let go of it, and when it comes to the specific link, we will come forward together. Besides, I've been with me for so long, and you should learn it. I smiled and said, "Brother Chao has your words, I am relieved, I will take advantage of the opportunity to find resources." ”
After packing my luggage, it was still early, and I thought that there was nothing to do in the three or four days of the international train except sleeping, eating, drinking and chatting, so I decided to use the last time to go to the nightclub downstairs to sit down. I went downstairs to the nightclub, there were few Chinese in the nightclub, there was a group of Russians drinking and dancing, looking at the dress and temperament, I knew that these people were Russian little masters. We sat down in a quiet corner and asked for a stinging of Tsingtao beer, listening to music and drinking beer.
At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged Russian man sitting not far away raised his glass to us, and we politely raised it to him. He walked to our table with a wine glass, and the middle-aged Russian man stretched out his hand to us and shook hands with Brother Chao and me, respectively, and said, "Hello! My name is Sergey, can I have a drink with you? Brother Chao motioned for him to sit down and said, "Hello! My name is Vanya, and this is Peng. Sergey, after draining the glass with us, asked us: "What do you do?" Brother Chao replied: "We are a trading company, what do you do?" Sergei gave a thumbs up to Brother Chao, and instead of answering Brother Chao's question, he continued to ask: "Vanya, you speak Russian very well, what kind of trade is your company engaged in?" Brother Chao replied: "We are engaged in import and export trade. Sergei asked: "Are you a company in Manchuria?" Brother Chao replied: "We are not a company in Manzhouli, our company headquarters is in Shenyang. Sergei nodded and said: "Very good, I am looking for a strong company to cooperate, do you do wood?" I have my own forestry farm and wood processing plant. "When I heard this, I thought to myself, could it be that I was so lucky today, and I met business and came to my door. Brother Chao said quietly: "We rarely do wood, but we want to find a supplier of wood, where is your forest farm?" Sergei replied: "Do you know Ulan-Ude?" I glanced at Brother Chao, and Brother Chao replied: "I know about Ulan-Ude, but I haven't been there, I heard that there is a lot of wood there." Sergei said with some triumph: "I have a large forest farm and a timber processing plant on the shores of Lake Baikal, and you want as much as you want." Brother Chao gave Sergei a thumbs up and said: "You are too rich, I am really lucky to know you, I heard that the export of timber in Russia requires a special railway line and an export license, I believe you should have no problem with this." Sergei poured himself a beer, drank it in one gulp and said: "Don't worry, I have my own special railway line, and I have a lot of connections in the government, and there is no problem with the permit." ”
After taking a sip of beer, Brother Chao asked Sergey: "If you cooperate, what kind of trade will you take?" Barter or cash? Sergei replied: "Yes, but I have to receive your money or goods before I can ship them." Brother Chao asked, "Then can we go to you to investigate?" Sergei replied: "That's no problem, I'll take you to the forest farm when the time comes." Brother Chao said: "Mr. Sergey, I have something I am curious about, why don't you cooperate with the local company in Manzhouli?" There will be a lot of companies here that will buy your timber. Sergei said with some arrogance: "I don't like companies in small places, I want to work with powerful companies in big cities." Brother Chao pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Sergei, you are from Ulan-Ud, I have something else to ask you, not long ago a Buryats named Bat came to our company, he said that he has a large forest farm on the shore of Lake Baikal and wants to sell us timber, but we have some suspicions that he is a liar, do you know this person?" Sergei shook his head and said: "What Bart, I have never heard of it, your suspicions are correct, that person must be a liar, you have to be careful of these Buryats, do business or do it with me." Brother Chao glanced at me, and we looked at each other and smiled. I thought to myself, tonight is also quite interesting, we actually met a Russian liar here who brags about not having to make a draft, if he really has this strength, he doesn't have to come to China to find customers, a large number of people will take the initiative to revolve around him, even if you need to find customers, you don't have to go out in person, your subordinates can come forward, the most interesting thing is that the liar is also ashamed to say that others are liars.
Seeing that we were laughing and silent, Sergei asked with some humility: "What are you laughing at, am I not right?" Brother Chao replied: "We are glad to have met you today, fortunately I asked you for advice, otherwise I don't know if I was deceived by others, do you live in this hotel?" We will visit you tomorrow after reporting to the headquarters, we were already going to pay for the timber of twenty wagons of that Ba Ding, the money is ready, and if your price is right, we will order it from you. When he heard that twenty wagons of timber and money were ready, Sergei's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will give you the best price." After saying that, Sergei told us his room number, and Brother Chao said that we would visit him in his room tomorrow, and then settled the bill and went back to the room.
In the room, Brother Chao called and asked the front desk, is the room number given by Sergei a Russian named Sergei lived? The front desk replied yes. Brother Chao then asked, which city in Russia is he from? The front desk replied that it was inconvenient to disclose guest information. After putting down the phone, Brother Chao asked me, "Dapeng, what do you think?" I said, "This guy must be a liar, at first I thought we were lucky today and picked up the business again, but then I heard him say that he has a special railway line and can get a permit, I think this guy is bragging, we know that the special railway line and the license are controlled by the mafia." If he is really so powerful, he doesn't have to come out to find business by himself, a large number of people will take the initiative to look for him, and even if he comes out to find business, he doesn't have to come forward himself, just send his subordinates. Later, he said that he didn't know Bart, and that Bart was a liar, and I thought he must be a liar, and that Bart had such a big forest farm, and I think anyone who was in the timber business in Ulan-Ude would know about Bart. But when you asked him if he could go on an expedition, the guy said yes. I don't understand that. Brother Chao said, "Do you think about why he asked us where the company was as soon as he came over, and said that he didn't do business with local companies?" This is because the local company will have a lot of connections in Russia, and the local company will not talk about business with the Russians who are sent to the door, which Sasha has already encountered in Manchuria. And foreign companies can't wait to do business with Russia when they come to Manchuria, and when they meet Russians who look like they have a bit of background, they will think they are big customers. He agrees that you go to the inspection is also very simple, he rents an office at will, takes you to the forest farm on the edge of Lake Baikal for a turn, and then takes you to the special railway line to see, he only needs to give the security guards or workers there a few bottles of vodka in advance, those security guards and workers will call him boss, you also know what kind of virtue the Russians have when they see vodka, where can these Chinese see it, it is not necessary to believe it, the license can also be fake, if you pay or send goods to him, do you think you can recover it in Russia? This kind of deception is not uncommon in China, like the Chinese who met Valroga in Redstone who rented an office in a hotel and said that the hotel was opened by him. I suddenly realized when I heard Brother Chao say this, I said: "Brother Chao, it's too scary to hear you say this, we need to do something, otherwise this liar can't deceive us, maybe he will deceive other Chinese companies, let's report the case." Brother Chao shook his head and said, "There is no way to report this situation, we just suspect that the scam has not happened after all." Do you have a phone number for Xiaomei's house? Tell her about the situation, she is a local, and she may have a solution. "I found the phone number that Xiaomei left me at dinner the day before yesterday, and after dialing it, Xiaomei answered the phone. I told Xiaomei about the situation just now and told Sergei's room number, Xiaomei said that she has a friend from the Public Security Bureau, and she will talk to her friend tomorrow and ask her friend to investigate the situation, and she must not let the Russian liars succeed.
After returning to Novosibirsk, I called Xiaomei. Xiaomei said that the guy was really a liar, and had cheated a Harbin company of a large amount of money before, and after the Harbin company reported the case, the public security bureau and the port border inspection registered the information of the scammer. But this liar changed his name and passport, and went to China to repeat the old trick, fortunately he was seen through by Brother Chao, the public security bureau was preliminarily identified according to the photo, and immediately notified the Harbin company, and the people from the Harbin company immediately recognized the scammer, and now the Russian liar has been charged.
