Brother Chao will take the director of the chemical plant and his subordinates back to China tomorrow to select goods, and the ticket will fly to Beijing tomorrow night. After I returned to the company after doing acupuncture treatment for Roman's parents, Brother Chao said: "Just now Varroga called and asked me to go to his office in the Siberian Hotel at five o'clock this afternoon to sit down, and then talk about the details of the contract and the next step of cooperation. I said, "Okay, I really want to meet the Russian mafia, so I'll go back to the dormitory and change into more formal clothes, and then find a gift to bring with me." Brother Chao asked, "Your ginseng has been sold to Roman, what other gifts do you have?" We're going to meet mafia heavyweights, so don't get a shabby gift that you can't get your hands on. I replied, "Brother, don't worry, Valoka will definitely like it, and the gift I want to give him is a small golden toad carved from Xiuyan jade." Brother Chao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Russians are more superstitious about feng shui, once in the office of Varoga, he also asked me what is the best place to put in the office according to Chinese feng shui?" I originally wanted to go back to China to buy something for him, but your jade carving golden toad is just right, how could you kid think of bringing these things? I replied: "I used to read a book about Russian customs, and it said that when I went to someone's house for the first time in Russia, I must bring a gift, and the book also said that Russians are more superstitious and like mascots, so I went to the handicraft market to buy some small gifts and bring them over." Although I didn't go to Valroca's house this time, it would be nice to have a gift at the office. This jade carving little golden toad is the most expensive of all the small gifts I bought, the price was two hundred yuan, I and my boss grinding for a long time, and finally spent one hundred and five to buy it, the carving is very exquisite, I like it very much, I think that if I see any important people in the future, I will use it, even if I don't send it out, I may be able to bring me fortune if I keep it. Brother Chao smiled and said: "You kid is quite knowledgeable about human feelings, even if this gift is given by the company, you will be reimbursed three hundred yuan manually." After meeting Valroga a little later, you say that the gift is on behalf of the company. The first time I went to him before, I didn't give a gift, but this time you go to him and give a gift, which doesn't seem good, but it's much better to give it in the name of the company. "I give a thumbs up," my brother is really smart. ”

I went back to the dormitory to change my clothes and find a gift, and wrote a note before going out: I'm coming back late, don't wait for me for dinner, Peng. Taped to Tanya's door. When I returned to the office, I saw that it was still early for me to meet Valroga, so Brother Chao decided to take me to the central market not far from the Siberian Hotel to check the market conditions of various commodities.

We got out of the door and took a taxi straight to the central market. Although it is called the central market, it is much simpler than the domestic market, a simple greenhouse-style building, there is an area dedicated to selling food and vegetables, and the other area is a small shop selling various goods, and the empty field outside the building is a row of tents selling goods. We walked around and really didn't find that there are plastic flowers sold in the market, there are a lot of Chinese goods in the market but they feel very low-grade, some of the clothes and shoes that look good are Turkish and Polish goods, and the prices are much higher.

I suddenly remembered that the address of their shop was in the central market given to me by Dina and his husband Sergei on the train, but unfortunately they did not bring the specific address they gave me. While walking around the market with Chao Ge and asking around, I kept an eye on each small shop, hoping to find their shop. I saw a small shop full of women's clothes and silk pajamas, and when I walked in, I saw a young Russian girl in her twenties sitting inside, and was about to turn around and leave, when I suddenly heard a woman's voice behind me, "Peng, is that you?" Turning around and seeing that it was Ji Na, Ji Na was excited to see me, hugged me and kissed me on the face, "Hello Peng!" I was in the store opposite just now and it looked like you had entered my shop, so I hurried over and came over to meet my daughter Vika. "It turned out that the girl was Zina's daughter, and I called Brother Chao who was outside to meet Zinavica. The shop was not very large, and as soon as a customer came in, Gina took us to a café on the edge of the market.

After ordering three cups of coffee, Zina said: "As soon as Sergei and I came back to Novosibirsk, I went to the countryside, Sergei's father who lived in the countryside was sick, I just came back from the countryside yesterday, Sergei was still in the countryside, I wanted to call you by telegram, but I left in a hurry and didn't bring your phone." Peng tell me how you are during this time? Love Novosibirsk? I said: "I was very good and began to slowly adapt and like Novosibirsk, what happened to Sergey's father?" What disease do you have? Zina replied: "Sergei's father has high blood pressure, he quarreled with others a few days ago, he had a stroke with high blood pressure and a blood vessel, and now he is hospitalized in the hospital, the doctor said that he was very strict, and it is estimated that he can only be paralyzed in bed when he is discharged, Sergei also said that he will come back to you and ask, can acupuncture treat this situation?" I said, "It depends on the specific situation of the patient, but acupuncture treatment is very effective for hemiplegia after stroke, especially for hemiplegia just now." Zina said, "Great, when Sergei comes back, I want him to come to you." How was your company formed? Is there a business? Brother Chao said: "We have just registered the company, we are all learning, listen to Peng, you have been doing business for many years, is there any good construction for us?" Ji Na pondered for a while and said: "I do a small business, every time I go to China to buy goods, it is a few large bags of goods, but I take those good quality goods, I see that those merchants in China bring over and sell goods on the train and in the market are of poor quality, shoes can only be worn for a week, leather jackets fade and even some places are paper, down jackets are filled with I don't know what it is, fortunately in winter and summer are smelly." Many Russians are slowly reluctant to buy Chinese clothes and shoes, and I don't dare to tell customers that my goods are Chinese, and I tell them that my goods are all Polish goods, so my advice to you is that the quality of the goods must be good. Brother Chao said: "Thank you, I will take customers back to China tomorrow, and I will definitely take them to see good quality goods, but the price of good quality goods is high, I am afraid that they will not be able to accept it." Zina said: "Then you prepare quality goods at the same time prepare some poor quality and low price goods for comparison, to them to choose, tell them that they are cheap or not good, I think a real businessman understands this truth, I usually will prepare some poor quality and cheap clothes in the store, when customers think that the clothes in the store are expensive, I don't explain too much, just take out the same style of poor quality clothes for them to compare, customers will be clear at a glance." Listening to Zina's words, Brother Chao and I nodded involuntarily, Brother Chao said: "Thank you so much, I know what to do, I will go back to China to see if there is any suitable medicine for stroke to help you bring some back, if acupuncture can help Sergei's father, I want Peng to help him treat it." Zina said happily: "Thank you, thank you, I believe you will be able to help Sergey's father, oh, by the way, there seem to be you Chinese selling goods in this market, if you want to know them, I will take you to see." Brother Chao and I replied in unison, "Okay." ”

Coming out of the café, Zina took us to the open-air tent area, and walked to several connected tents, where we saw a few skinny Asians selling some low-end tracksuits and faux leather jackets. Based on the experience of meeting Chung last time, I am sure that these people should be Vietnamese, and I was about to go up to say hello to them, when Chung suddenly came out of the tent not far away and beckoned to me, we walked over, and I introduced Chung to Chaoge and Zina, "Hello, Chung! Why are you here? "Peng, hello! I came over to help my fellow villagers, and these people who sold goods were my fellow villagers. Are you coming to the market? I replied, "Yes, let's go around, how is your business?" Zhong replied, "It's okay, we sell all bargains." Brother Chao asked Zhong: "If the quality is better, can you sell the more expensive goods?" Zhong replied: "Of course you can sell it, as long as it is not too expensive, you know, now the Russian people have no money, but people still want to buy good things, our goods are sent from Moscow, these are cheap, there are no high-end goods." If your company can have good goods at the right price, we will pick up the goods from you. Brother Chao said: "Okay, we will send some New Year's goods after a while, and Peng will sue you then." Zhong said, "That's great, I'm going to set up a stall to sell goods." "We said goodbye to Chung, who reminded me not to forget to visit his house on Saturday night.

Leaving the tent area, Zina asked Brother Chao: "What New Year's goods are you going to send to sell?" I can also buy some and sell them in my own store. Brother Chao replied: "I'm going to send some greeting cards and plastic flowers, and I haven't thought about the rest yet." "Greeting cards and plastic are good business, and you can also send out small toys, preferably next year's zodiac toys, which Russians are very fond of as New Year's gifts," Zina said. Brother Chao and I looked at each other and smiled heartily.
