After talking to China on the phone, I thought that I hadn't been on the phone since that phone call with Xiaotao. So I dialed the phone number of Xiaotao's office in Irkusko, and the phone was always busy, and it took several dials to get through. Xiao Tao picked up the microphone and asked Hello in Russian, I decided to make a joke with him, so I said in Russian: "Hello! Tony? Tony is Xiao Tao's Russian name, Xiao Tao didn't hear it was me, and replied in a slightly angry voice in Russian: "It's me, didn't you just call me?" I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer so quickly, I'm not the boss, I'm waiting for the domestic notification. I felt that Xiao Tao might encounter something unpleasant, so I stopped joking and said in Chinese: "Xiao Tao is me, what's going on?" Xiao Tao heard that it was me, and scolded me: "What kind of old hairy man are you kid, I almost thought that bastard was looking for old Maozi to intimidate us." As soon as I heard this, I immediately asked with concern, "What's going on?" Are you in any trouble? Xiao Tao said: "I originally wanted to call you in the past two days, but I was very nervous about this trouble in the past few days, and I didn't bother to call you. Then I'll talk about things on my side, and things on my side are very headaches, and I can't explain them clearly. ”

I then told about what happened in Novosibirsk these days, and also told the story with Danya, Xiaotao sighed after listening to it, "Dapeng, I really didn't expect it, you have only been here for more than ten days and encountered so many things, and you are so lucky, as soon as you come, you will find a Russian beauty." I think when I first came, it was a dormitory and classroom all day, and then I registered a company to ship and run the market, and I was blackmailed by the police many times, but I am not as lucky as you, and I can have a mafia for you. We were stepped on by the Chinese this time. I asked, "What is a stepping bag?" Xiao Tao explained: "Stepping on the bag is simply blackmail, you have not been in Russia for a long time, and you are doing barter trade with Russian companies, you have not shipped your own goods, nor have you stood in the market, and you have not dealt with the Chinese masters in the market, Russian hooligans, so you don't know what is stepping on the bag, and it is impossible to encounter the stepping on the bag." Are there many Chinese on your Novosibirsk side? Is there a Chinese master who practices stalls in the market? I replied: "When I came to Novosibirsk, I met a few of Xiao Liu's classmates, and a few of them practiced stalls on Sundays in the flea market, but I really never met the Chinese masters, and I met Vietnamese people who practiced stalls in the central market, maybe I came here for a short time." Xiao Tao said: "Novosibirsk was a military-industrial city during the Soviet era, foreigners were not allowed to enter, and it was not open to foreigners for a long time, so there were not many Chinese." Generally, if there is a market where Vietnamese people practice stalls in the city, it is difficult for Chinese people to enter, and Vietnamese people are very grouped. But I think it won't be long before there will be a Chinese market in Novosibirsk, as long as there is a place where China is down, there will be stepping on bags, maybe now there is a place for Chinese to batch goods, but Novosibirsk is too big, you don't know it yet. "I still don't quite understand what a bag is to step on? So he said to Xiao Tao: "Can you tell me why the Chinese's blackmail is called stepping on bags?" I'll pay attention to it later. ”

Xiao Tao told me what it is to step on bags, not all Chinese who came to Russia made a fortune by doing business by pouring bags, and most of the Chinese masters who came to Russia first were mainly unemployed vagrants, and many of them were hooligans and ruffians in the domestic mixed society. Some ruffians have formed gangs in Russia to make ill-gotten gains by extorting their Chinese masters. Because the goods are very large woven bags or cloth bags, so the goods are brought from the country or shipped to the house is called the bag, the earliest these ruffians colluded with the Russian underworld to step on the upside-down bag in the border port goods transfer place or in the market to directly ask for money, if you don't give money, you simply snatch the bag, so this kind of extortion and robbery we call stepping on the bag. After slowly calling it away, it is called stepping on the bag when encountering the Russian hooligan underworld or the Chinese hooligan robbery and extortion of the Chinese master in Russia. Hearing this, I understand, the group of hooligans that Fat Brother and Lao Chen encountered on the international column can also be called stepping on bags. Then our barter trade in Novosibirsk was used by Varroga to intervene and raise prices, which can be regarded as being trampled on. I told Xiao Tao my thoughts, Xiao Tao said, it can also be understood in this way, but it seems to be a little different, after all, you can still choose not to do this business, and there will be no loss. But when the master encounters stepping on the bag, he can't choose, either he will resist or be slaughtered. The real Russian mafia will not do this kind of extortion and robbery that only street market ruffians do, and the Russian mafia controls the larger underground government and economy, and even the Russian government is controlled by them. It's better for you to cooperate with them, these mafias not only get illegal income, they will also use their power to do regular trade to get legal income, but if they want to do it, there will be no competitors, and while these mafia seek benefits, your interests can also be guaranteed. I think about it, Xiao Tao does make sense in saying this, and Brother Chao also said that as long as our interests and security can be guaranteed, what is there in Russia that is not controlled by the mafia.

Xiao Tao went on to talk about what kind of bag they encountered. Xiao Tao and a colleague were first sent by the company to study Russian at the Irkusco Pedagogical Institute, and a year later the company sent a manager over and registered a trading company. They look for opportunities to do some barter, but mainly from the country to Irkusco wholesale shipments. Because Irkusco is relatively close to China and there are direct flights to China, there were many more Chinese than other cities in the past. The wholesale market was built by some military officers who had returned from the Afghan war and gathered Afghan veterans to occupy a vacant land in the suburbs, and it was mainly leased to China, Vietnam and some Central Asian veterans to operate, and even the government did not dare to take care of these veterans who had returned from the Afghan battlefield. Xiao Tao and his colleagues also recently set up a stall in this suburban wholesale market, and Xiao Tao's colleagues are in charge of running it. Because Xiaotao's material company has a Raschel blanket factory, it ships Raschel blankets and wholesales them in the market. At first, there was a Chinese wholesale Raschel blanket who settled in Irkusco in this market, but since Xiao Tao and his people entered the market, because the quality of this Chinese blanket was inferior and the price was too high to compete with Xiao Tao's blankets, the business of this Chinese person plummeted. This Chinese did not find reasons in terms of the quality and price of the goods, but thought that Xiao Tao and they robbed him of his business, relying on his Russian identity, and found Russian ruffians to blackmail Xiao Tao and them, asking Xiao Tao to compensate for his losses, and he must accompany him for 10,000 US dollars. If they don't pay 10,000 US dollars, he will ask the Russians to clean up Xiaotao and them, and will ask the tax police and immigration to check on Xiaotao and drive them out of Irkusco. A few days ago, a few Russian hooligans went to Xiao Tao's stall to intimidate Xiao Tao's colleagues, and were later chased away by the security guards in the market. In the past few days, Xiao Tao's manager has returned to China, and for the sake of safety, Xiao Tao's colleagues did not go to the market. This morning, a Russian called and gave Xiao Tao a three-day deadline, and if they didn't pay the money within three days, they would bear the consequences. When I called Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao was reporting to China, and because he was upset, he didn't hear my voice at once, thinking that the Russians had called him again.

That's when I thought of Vidali and Sergei, who were Afghan veterans and members of the mafia. Can you find them to come forward and contact Xiao Tao and the Afghan veterans who control them in the market. After I said my idea, Xiao Tao felt that it was feasible, Xiao Tao said that they also tried to find the boss of the market to help coordinate, but these Russians did not want to participate in the affairs between the Chinese, let alone offend those Russian ruffians and police, so they did not come forward, asked them to solve it themselves, and said that if it really did not work, Xiao Tao and they would withdraw from the market. Xiao Tao went on to say that if they gave 10,000 US dollars like this, they would inevitably be blackmailed in the future, unless they didn't do it in that market, but they spent a lot of money to enter this market at that time, and they lost a lot of money when they left, or they didn't sell Raschel blankets in the market in the future, but they had already sent hundreds of thousands of yuan of goods, and they couldn't sell them. If you don't give 10,000 dollars, then these hooligans will definitely look for trouble, not only will they not be able to stay in the market, but they may not even be able to stay in Irkusko, and they will not have anything to do in Irkusco, so they will have a headache. If I find Vidaly and Sergey here to help them settle this matter, then their company will definitely be willing to pay a sum of money. I said I'll talk to Brother Chao first and see what his opinion is.

I dialed the phone number of the domestic company, told Brother Chao about the trouble that Xiaotao encountered, and also told me my thoughts. After listening to this, Brother Chao said, since it is my buddy, then I must help, he asked me to go to Vidaly and Sergei first to see what they mean, but don't alarm Varroga about this matter first.

I immediately called Vidaly, and I said that I wanted to ask him and Sergei for help, and if it was convenient, I would ask them to come out and sit down, and Vidaly said that we would meet at the café on the edge of Marx Square, and they would be there in half an hour. In the café on Marx Square, I told Vidaly and Sergei about the troubles they were having, and about the wholesale market that had been built by some Afghan veterans. Vidali said that they had a comrade-in-arms in Irkusco who had returned from Afghanistan together, and that they should be able to help by checking out the situation there. I said that if this matter can be resolved, Xiaotao's company will be rewarded, and Vidali said that he will give me an answer tomorrow morning. Finally, I specifically asked, there is no need to tell Sùvarroga about this matter, and Vidaly said no, he and Sergei can solve it.

After I returned to the company, I told Xiao Tao and Brother Chao about the situation, and asked Xiao Tao for his manager's phone number, and asked Brother Chao and Xiao Tao's manager to contact him in China, and we worked together to solve this trouble. Xiao Tao said that he had also contacted the company's headquarters just now. The company's headquarters said that as long as it can solve this trouble, the company is willing to pay a reward, and see how much it costs to see how much Vidali costs?
