When I woke up the next morning at Sasha's house, Irina had already prepared breakfast for us, sliced brown bread, red caviar, cheese and coffee. Maybe it's because I drank a lot of Georgian wine yesterday, but I didn't feel hard to swallow eating these foods today, and it seems that I am slowly starting to adapt to life in Russia.

After breakfast, Sasha drove us to the company, and Brother Chao introduced me to the company's financial Lena and clerk Katya immediately called the company's boss and reported that I had arrived safely, and the boss asked me to answer the phone, and told me something to ask me to pay attention to safety and cooperate with Brother Chao's work. After putting down the phone, I called Xiao Tao in Irkutsk, and Xiao Tao told me on the phone that their company was going to make a batch of New Year's greeting cards and send them to wholesale, and asked us to also inspect the market in Novosibirsk. I told Brother Chao about Xiao Tao's construction, and Brother Chao said that the business of New Year's greeting cards should be good, and asked me to wait for Sasha to complete my identity registration and then go to inspect the market, and try my best to implement the specific information to the country, and strive for the arrival of the greeting card in November, he asked me to operate it independently, and he and Sasha are talking about a big barter trade with a local chemical factory. Listening to Brother Chao say this, I was very excited, as soon as I arrived here, I immediately found a specific thing to do for myself, and it was an independent operation, when I thought that I could finally stand alone, I suddenly felt full of confidence, and at the same time, my heart was full of worship for Brother Chao, hoping that one day I could become like Brother Chao.

Brother Chao is a legend of our company, and the first big business after the establishment of our company was made by Brother Chao with wit and courage. This big business has become the content that our boss must talk about at every meeting, and it is also the content that our newcomers must learn when they report for training.

Although Brother Chao is proficient in Russian, after all, he has just graduated and has no social relations and connections. In desperation, Brother Chao applied to the boss to go to the border port and Russia to find business opportunities, and the boss gave Brother Chao a month. So Brother Chao got a visa and went to Manchuria, and after arriving in Manchuria, Brother Chao stayed in the International Travel Hotel, because Russians usually live here when they come to Manchuria. After living for a week, Brother Chao almost traveled all over Manchuria and roughly grasped the basic situation of port trade. Every night, Brother Chao will sit late in the bar of the hotel, hoping to meet some powerful Russians, but it backfires, and the people who can talk to each other to drink and chat are some of the old men who came to buy goods with the three-day tour group. These pungents come to the bar just to get drunk, where can they provide valuable information? Russians who behave like businessmen or government officials are usually accompanied by Chinese, and it is difficult to approach, and even if they do, they are very defensive. Once, at a bar, Chao Ge had just said hello to a Russian who looked like he had some status, and was about to have a few conversations, when a local man immediately came over and called Chao Ge aside and warned Chao Ge not to contact the Russians casually.

Seeing that a week had passed without any progress, Brother Chao was a little discouraged. This night, Brother Chao asked for a beer in the bar alone, and while drinking the wine, Brother Chao thought about what to do next? It's not good to go back like this to the boss, and if you go back, the business is still the same, if you don't go back, there is no progress in staying in Manchuria like this, and there is a lot of expenses every day, go to Russia, there is no relationship over there, and Brother Chao is even more bottomless.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the bar, Brother Chao looked up and found a group of Russians coming in, from their dress and demeanor, Brother Chao could see that this was a group of unfortunate masters, Brother Chao had no interest in them, and continued to drink and think about things. Suddenly there was an argument between the group of Russians, Brother Chao looked up, and saw several Russians mocking and insulting a tall Russian man wearing a sportswear and looking a little special, Brother Chao listened carefully, these Russians are saying, this big hillbilly is a bullshit, what's so good about it? He looked down on us, we made more dollars, etc., the big man didn't say a word, and his face was full of anger. Driven by Brother Chao's curiosity, he carefully looked at this big man, and if he didn't look at it, he looked at his heart and moved, although this big man couldn't see anything in his clothes, but this big man had a completely different temperament from those fallen masters. Brother Chao wondered in his heart what this Russian was doing? Why are you with this group of unfortunate people?

After a while, the Russians had enough of the big man and began to drink, while the big man sat in a corner and ordered a glass of foreign wine by himself. Brother Chao raised his hand and called the bar waiter, asking the waiter to bring a glass to the big man and go over, plus the glass of wine that the big man drank was considered Brother Chao. When the waiter brought the wine over, the big man was very surprised, the waiter gestured with his hand in the direction of Brother Chao, Brother Chao saw the big man looking at him, and raised the wine glass in his hand in a friendly manner, the big man also raised the glass in his hand, Brother Chao saw that the big man was not guarding himself, so he pointed his finger at his nose and then pointed to the seat opposite the big man, the big man understood, and waved his hand to Brother Chao over.

After Brother Chao passed, he said hello to the big man in very standard Russian, and the big man was surprised but very happy to see that Brother Chao knew Russian, and immediately shook hands with Brother Chao and introduced himself as Sasha, from Novosibirsk. It turned out that Sasha was the manager of a cooperative (equivalent to a trading company), his father was the director of a large factory, and now his father's factory had a batch of special scrap steel that he wanted to sell to China or exchange for some light industrial products, but he couldn't find a suitable relationship, Sasha had the idea of trying his luck, and went to Zabaikal, where he did a three-day tour, and followed those fallen masters to Manchuria. In Manchuria, Sasha went to several big border trade companies, because no one introduced him, and he came with a tour group, no one believed his words, and even some companies thought he was a swindler from Russia. Sasha ran into walls everywhere, he was in a bad mood, today was the last day in Manchuria, Sasha decided to go to the bar to drink two glasses of stuffy wine, but he didn't expect to meet the group of poured masters who came with him, those poured masters pulled him to drink together, he refused, and the scene that Chao Ge saw just now happened.

When Brother Chao heard this, his heart jumped excitedly, and he secretly wanted to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find them, and it took no effort to get them, this is really God help me. So he immediately told Sasha that he could help with this, and Sasha was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Brother Chao to go back to Novosibirsk with him. Brother Chao immediately called the boss, reported the situation and applied to go to Novosibirsk, and after thinking about it for a few minutes, the boss approved Brother Chao's application, and told Brother Chao that he must be careful, pay attention to personal safety, and act when he arrives in Novosibirsk.

The next day, Chao Ge went back to Novosibirsk with Sasha, and after arriving in Novosibirsk, Sasha took Chao Ge to the freight yard to see this batch of scrap steel, Chao Ge asked to bring a sample back for inspection, and invited Sasha to go to China to talk about this barter trade, Sasha agreed. After three days of Sasha's hospitality, Chao Ge returned to China with the samples, and after chemical testing, this batch of special materials and components were very good, and several large metal companies in the city were ready to ask for this batch of goods. Soon Sasha got a visa and flew to China, Brother Chao and the boss entertained Sasha, and then Brother Chao took him to visit several cooperative light industry factories. Seeing that Sasha couldn't wait to sign the contract to complete the business, Chao Ge proposed that Sasha deliver the goods first, and as soon as the goods entered China, the barter goods would be sent to Novosibirsk, Sasha called his father, and after a few short words, he agreed to Chao Ge's request. Then the special scrap steel entered the country, and the company sent the canned beef down jacket that Sasha wanted to to Novosibirsk on time. The scrap was bought at a high price by a Southern Metals company before it reached the end of the line. In the end, this business brought the company a profit of four million, and Brother Chao did a few more businesses with Sasha, but they were not as big as the special scrap steel.

Seeing that the business was not big, Chao Ge proposed to the company the idea of going out to find business opportunities, and after discussion and decision by the company's management, Chao Ge was solely responsible for cooperating with Sasha to build a cooperative company in New Sibirsk. This is the origin of the partner company.
