After breakfast, Brother Chao called Sasha with a coin-operated phone on the side of the road, and Sasha said that the greeting card calendar had been mentioned, and he was preparing for wholesale sales in the next few days. Brother Chao told us about the time we arrived in Novosibirsk, Sasha said that he would pick us up when he arrived, and Brother Chao specially told Sasha to come alone when picking up the station, and not to call Natasha and Danya. I thought to myself, Brother Super doesn't want Natasha and Tanya to meet Velasveta and them, this Brother Super is careful enough no matter what he does. After the end of the call with Sasha, Chaoge called our company in Novosibirsk again, Katya said, the Baikal Railway Freight Office has just given a notice that our container with plastic flowers for the calendar card has been replaced, and it will be sent out in two days, and it is expected to arrive in Novosibirsk in three to five days. Then Katya asked Brother Chao, is the invoice list and packing list of the goods in Brother Chao's hands? Brother Chao told him that the invoice list and packing list of the goods were in his hands, and we were in Novosibirsk two days later. Brother Chao instructed Katya to go to the customs to find out or ask Sasha, in addition to the invoice list and packing list of the goods, what other documents are needed when the goods are cleared in Novosibirsk, and if there are some other documents, Lena should be prepared in advance these days.

I made a phone call to see that the time was still two or three hours before the international train was completed. Fat brother Lao Chen wanted to go to the Chinese market, so we walked to the market. When we were about to walk to the entrance of the market, a police car suddenly came into front of us, and when they saw us, the police car stopped. Seeing the police in the car coming down, before he could say to check his passport, several of us had already taken out our passports, visas and international train tickets from our bodies, and after the police saw the international train tickets in our hands, they did not check our passports, but asked where we were going? We replied to Moscow and Novosibirsk, the police waved us away, and then returned to the police. Watching the police car drive away, several of us put away our passports and looked at each other, some of us didn't believe that the police didn't check our passports. Chao Ge said: "This is the first time that the Russian police do not check their passports, maybe the Baikal Police Department has a rule, so it is not difficult for Chinese to sit in the international column." Lao Chen said with a smile: "There is such a possibility, but it is rare for Baikal to encounter police checking passports, perhaps because of its proximity to China." ”

The scene in the post-Baikal Chinese market was similar to the first time I saw it, with twenty or thirty Chinese on scattered stalls selling gloves, hats, cotton clothes and other low-grade goods that can be seen everywhere in the northern market in Manchuria, and these Chinese should have come from a three-day tour group, pulling a cart and carrying a woven bag in twos and twos Russian motors picking goods in the market. We saw a clothing stall with a cardboard on which the words "Change for rubles, for RMB" were written in Russian and Chinese, and the stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. We walked over and asked about the exchange rate of RMB for some rubles, and the exchange rate given by the middle-aged man was a little higher than the exchange rate of those who exchanged currency at the gate of the northern market in Manzhouli, so the fat brother exchanged two thousand yuan for rubles.

After exchanging rubles, the fat brother and the middle-aged man began to talk. The middle-aged man told us that his surname was Huang and he was a native of Manzhouli, and he had been doing foreign exchange business in Manchuria and Baikal all the year round. Chinese need rubles to come to Russia abroad, Chinese need RMB to return to China, Russians also need RMB to come to China to load goods, and Lao Huang exchange exchange earns the difference in the middle, and sells goods by the way. The fat brother asked Lao Huang: "Brother Huang, do you know Xie San?" Lao Huang looked at the fat brother with some surprise and said, "Is the Xie San you are talking about the same Xie San who is now in Yekaterinburg?" The fat brother nodded and said, "Yes, his wife has a stall in the northern market in Manchuria." Lao Huang said: "Of course I know, my family and his family both live in Sandao Street, and we used to drink together and run tour groups together." Manchuria is such a fart place, you can go from east to west by smoking a cigarette, and you can go from south to north by swallowing melon seeds, as long as you are a native of Manchuria, there is no one I don't know. Do you know him? The fat brother replied: "Well, we met, a month ago I went to the same international train with him in the same carriage, and drank together for a few days." Lao Huang said: "No wonder, I heard that your accent is from Beijing, I was still wondering just now, how can you know Xie San." Before he went to Yekaterinburg, we had a drink together. The fat brother asked, "Brother Huang, do you know how Xie San is in Yekaterinburg now?" When I got off in Yekaterinburg, he only gave us an address and no phone, and it has been more than a month, and I don't know how he is doing over there? Lao Huang said: "I saw his wife in the northern market a few days ago, and his wife was applying for a visa and was going to Yekaterinburg to help. According to his wife, the newly opened Chinese wholesale market in Yekaterinburg is doing very well. The fat brother said: "His wife is going to go over to help, which means that he is doing well in Yekaterinburg, and the business should be too busy." Lao Huang nodded and said: "Yes, many of the people in Manchuria who were originally in Chita and Zabaikal are going to Russia, and I also plan to get a visa to go to Yekaterinburg to see, I heard that there are many Chinese there, and most of them are northeasterners, and business in the Chinese market is very hot." Now the business here is getting more and more difficult to do, the ruble is depreciating too fast, I sometimes collect too much ruble, once I press it, I lose a lot of money in two or three days, I see that the people who enter Russia are making money, so I also want to go into it to develop. ”

After speaking, Lao Huang then asked the fat brother: "I haven't even asked you yet, what do you do?" Where are you going to go to Russia? The fat brother pointed to me and Brother Chao and said, "These two little brothers are from a public company, doing big business in international trade, and they are going to Novosibirsk. Then he pointed at Lao Chen and said: "Lao Chen and I went to Moscow, our brothers are similar to you, Brother Huang, we are all upside down." Lao Huang said with admiration on his face: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I can't compare with you, I can only be regarded as tossing around at the door of my home, you are the ones who do big business, are you selling goods in Moscow for a long time or running back and forth international trains?" The fat brother replied: "Our brothers have been running international trains for two or three years, and now we are ready to mix in Moscow for a long time." Lao Huang gave a thumbs up and said: "Moscow is a place for big business, and the goods sold in that place in one day are enough for us to sell here for a year." Are you going to sell in a wholesale building or in a market? I heard that a large market for ant containers in Moscow is attracting investment. The fat brother said with a smile: "Brother Huang also knows about an ant market, we just bought a cabinet in an ant container market, and this time we are going to sell goods in an ant." Lao Huang said: "I do foreign exchange business, and I come into contact with the old man who goes in and out of the north and south all day long, and I am well-informed." How much do you buy a cabinet? The fat brother replied, "Three thousand dollars." Lao Huang said: "That's okay, it's not too expensive, you have a cooperative factory in China to ship, right?" The fat brother nodded and said yes, Lao Huang said: "That's really good, the Moscow market can take a lot of goods, you will make a fortune in the future, brother, you give me a contact information, if I go to Yekaterinburg to sell goods in the future, it's no problem to get the goods with you, right?" The fat brother said: "Brother Huang will take care of his brother's business in the future, where will there be problems?" It's too late for the brothers to drink. After speaking, the fat brother wrote the phone number of Lena's house to Lao Huang. Lao Huang took the note and said: "Thank you, brother, many friends and many roads when I go out, my Lao Huang likes to make friends the most, and in the future, my brothers will go to Manchuria to say that as long as Lao Huang I am in Manchuria, I will do my best to entertain." When you go to Manchuria, as long as you ask Lao Huang in the northern market for the Baikal exchange of rubles, you dare not say that you know me 100 percent of Lao Huang, and at least eight out of ten people know me. The fat brother hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Huang first!" Brother, I also like to make friends, if Brother Huang goes to Moscow in the future, give my brother a call, and I am absolutely unambiguous about my brother. Lao Huang also hugged his fists in return, and the fat brother looked at his watch and said: "It's about the same time, we're going back to the station, Brother Huang will have a period later, see Xie San in the future, help the fat man, I still have Lao Chen and Dapeng, and our brother will bring a few of them." ”
