Chapter Seventy-Three: The Story of the Old Song of the Northeast
Lena is interested, how am I doing during this time? I saw that Lena still had a lot of things to do, so I said to her, "Lena, you should be busy first, and you and Sveta will go to my box after work, and I will tell you slowly, and I will bring Georgian red wine." Lena smiled and said, "Okay, we'll come to you after work, we'll make some salad and bring it over, but the red wine will be left for you and Sveta Romantic." I flicked my chin with my index finger and made a drinking gesture and said with a smile, "Then I still have the almighty vodka." Lena laughed again, "Pengchka, you're about to become a Russian, be careful of becoming an alcoholic, our beauty Sveta doesn't like alcoholics." I smiled and imitated the Russians and said, "It's okay to come two times in a while, how can Russians leave vodka." Lena laughed and bent over, pointed her finger at my nose and said, "Pengchka, Pengchka, I have to ask Sveta to take care of you." ”
Out of Lena's car, when I passed the Sveta car attendant's room, I said hello to her and said that I would go back to my box, but she pulled me into the cabin again, hugged me and gave me a hot kiss full of **, which made me feel hot and uncomfortable, and almost pulled her to her box, Sveta saw that I was excited and let go of me, and whispered to me that I wanted me to be patient, and she got off work at three o'clock in the afternoon.
I left Sveta and walked to my car, and when I reached the end of Sveta's car, I was stopped by the big brother from the Northeast who was in the box with the open door at the end of the car: "Brother, come in and sit down for a while and chat." ”
So I walked into the box, and in the box, in addition to the Northeast brother, there were three Chinese boys, and the accents were all from the Northeast. The eldest brother in the Northeast introduced himself as Song, and asked me to call him Lao Song, Lao Song returned to Harbin from Moscow, and the three Chinese young men also returned to Harbin from Moscow. After I introduced myself, Lao Song asked me: "Brother Dapeng, are you doing business in Ulan-Ude?" I replied: "I came on a business trip, and now I'm going to Trans-Baikal." Lao Song asked me: "The beautiful conductor in our carriage is your girlfriend?" I nodded and said yes, and Lao Song asked curiously, "Then how did you meet her?" Did you know by sitting in the international column? I nodded again and said yes, Lao Song said to the other three Chinese boys: "You learn a little, look at the little brother of the family, it's too good, you can soak the beautiful conductor in an international train." "I said to myself, 'Where is this my Svetta?' It was clearly Sveta who took the initiative against me.
As soon as the three young men heard that the beautiful flight attendant in this carriage was my girlfriend, they immediately came to their senses and said in unison: "Dude, tell us how to soak Russian beauties in your hands, and ask us to learn from our experience." I smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't have any experience, last month when I came to Russia by international train, I met a Russian on the car who was not feeling well, I studied Chinese medicine, so I went to treat it, the effect was very good, it just happened that the attendant of my carriage and she were good friends, she knew that her friend came to me for acupuncture, so we met." When the three guys heard this, they all said: "Dude, you are really good, you have this unique skill, no wonder you soaked in Russian beauties all of a sudden, it seems that we will go back and learn acupuncture." Lao Song laughed when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, acupuncture and moxibustion will be learned if you learn it, just rely on your bears." Learn how Dapeng pleases the girl, just now I saw him holding a bouquet of flowers, I think he is different, the old Maozi girl likes this, by the way, Dapeng, what business are you doing here? I briefly talked about the barter trade that our company did here, and after listening to it, Lao Song gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Dapeng, you are doing big business, and you are a big international master." I smiled and said, "Brother Song, you have won the award, I am just a salesman, I work for the company, Brother Song, what kind of business are you doing in Moscow?" Lao Song said: "Several of us are selling goods in Moscow. I asked with interest, "Do you sell in the wholesale building or in the wholesale market?" Lao Song replied: "I first sold goods in the wholesale building, and later sold goods in the container market, and the three of them originally went to school in Moscow, and now they are standing in the market with me." I asked Lao Song curiously: "Why don't you sell goods in the wholesale store?" Old Song sighed and said, "Hey! It's hard to put into words, I did a good job in the wholesale building, but I was scared by the police. I said, "Brother Song, tell me what's going on, I haven't been to Moscow, but I also have friends who sell goods in the wholesale building, and I haven't been in touch recently, and I don't know how he's doing there?" I would love to know what is going on over there in Moscow. ”
Old Song pondered for a few minutes, sorted out his thoughts, and began to tell me his story. Lao Song and the fat brother Lao Chen I met are different, the fat brother and Lao Chen they took the initiative to give up their jobs and became the international masters who went to the sea to go abroad, and they were the first group of international masters in China to break into Eastern Europe, regardless of success or failure, they are also a group of people with the most knowledge and experience. Lao Song was one of the large number of laid-off workers in the reform of state-owned enterprises in the old industrial base in Northeast China in the early 90s. After Lao Song was laid off, he first set up a stall in the market to sell shoes, he bought goods on Wuai Street in Shenyang, bought the kind of sneakers that were cheaper, and then went to the morning market at four or five o'clock in the morning to set up a stall to sell goods. At that time, the reform of state-owned enterprises in Northeast China caused a large number of enterprise workers to be laid off, and these workers started small businesses one after another, so Lao Song's morning market business could only barely make ends meet.
Suddenly, one day one of his buddies who were laid off together found him, it turned out that this buddy went to Manchuria after being laid off, and made some money by running tour groups in Manchuria. When the buddy came back to get the goods, he remembered Lao Song, so he took Lao Song to make a fortune together. Lao Song heard the buddy say that making money in Russia is the same as playing, so he was moved, so he disposed of the shoes, scraped together tens of thousands of yuan, and followed his buddy to Shenyang Wuai Street to buy a batch of imitation Adidas sportswear. After consigning my sportswear to Manchuria, I followed a friend on a three-day trip to Chita. The tour bus departed from Manchuria early in the morning, the two brothers drank a little wine the night before, got up late, and hurriedly carried a big bag to the place where the tour bus stopped, the bus was already full of people and goods, under the mobilization of the tour guide, the inverted men in the car were reluctant to squeeze inside, the two brothers in the tour guide repeatedly urged, it took a lot of effort to squeeze people with bags on the bus. Lao Song passed the customs and arrived at Chita with a nervous mood, but he didn't expect the two brothers who got on the bus to get off first, and this batch of sportswear was suddenly snatched up by the old Maozi who rushed to the market. The two men seized the time to purchase a batch of telescopes, electric shavers, commanders, watches and other Russian goods that Chinese tourists liked and brought back to Manchuria, and after returning to Manchuria, these Russian goods were resold to small traders who set up stalls in the northern markets. In addition to all the expenses, Lao Song earned more than 10,000 yuan in only four or five days, which is the money that Lao Song can only earn by setting up a stall in the morning market for half a year, and Lao Song was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.
Next, Lao Song ran a Manzhouli port tour group with a familiar car, and made some good money at first, but then there were more and more people who poured bags, and everyone brought the same goods, and the Russian police on the Chita side were getting darker and darker, and they were fined and extorted by the police at every turn, and from time to time they would encounter China's past hooligans stepping on the bag, and it was becoming more and more difficult to do business. Lao Song, who has a strong personality, was unwilling to be extorted from his hard-earned money when he stepped on a bag, and resisted, but he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and he was stabbed on his body, and the goods were also robbed. After recuperating from his injuries in China, his buddy heard that there was a Chinese wholesale store in Moscow and that the business was very good, so he asked Lao Song to go to Moscow with him, so the two of them spent a high price to apply for passports and visas, and went to Moscow with a batch of goods on an international train.
At the stations along the international train, the brothers sold a portion of their goods. After arriving in Moscow, the two of them found the wholesale building that they had inquired about, rented a room and began to sell goods, and the source of goods was sometimes found in a Chinese company in Moscow. At first, the two of them made some money, but later Lao Song's buddies became addicted to gambling and threw all the money they earned in the past few years into the casino, and they had no choice but to return to China. Lao Song was left to work hard in Moscow alone, and then the batch building was seized by Amon in Moscow in the name of investigating tax evasion and smuggling of goods, and Lao Song lost Yan zhòng. It just happened that the container market attracted investment, I heard that the boss of the market has a strong background, has a good relationship with the Moscow government, and the market guarantees that doing business in the market will not be investigated, so Lao Song spent three thousand dollars to buy a container, began to sell goods in the Izmailo market (Chinese call an ant market), and at the same time called his wife over to help, so far the market has not been harassed by the police and Amun, but I don't know what will happen in the future. These three young men were the first to study in Moscow, after two years of study, they all bought containers in the market to sell goods, just these four people were about to expire, so they returned to China together, because the plane had to fly back to Beijing first, and they also needed to toss back to Harbin from Beijing, so they chose to take the international train.
I asked them how business was going? Several of them said that business was very good, and that the market was bought every day by traders from all over Russia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and if the goods were on the right road, they could sell one container of goods a day. However, there are also goods that are not on the right road to Moscow and begin to jump off the building to sell, a Hebei man in the container next door to the old Song made thousands of cotton clothes, because the color and style are not the right way, the cost of forty or fifty yuan in the country, sold for two dollars in the market of an ant market, stunned that no Russians wanted, and finally was bought by the Chinese as work clothes in the market. Lao Song sighed at the end that Moscow is both heaven and hell.
Listening to Lao Song talk about his experience, I thought of Lao Gao, a native of Wenzhou, and his relative Ah Cheng, who hadn't been in contact with them for a long time, and I didn't know how they were now? Give them a call when you're done, but I don't know if they'll be selling in the wholesale building now?
