Chapter 114: China in the Far East

During this time, we cooperated with Valoga very smoothly, Valroga successively sent us some chemical raw materials and some steel, although the price is slightly higher, but it is very stable, our domestic headquarters sent them the goods, and they sell very well. Roman's father, Tamaz, put us in touch with a large Chelyabinsko factory, where he used to be a subordinate, and we bartered several wagons of steel back to the country. All in all, we have progressed beyond expectations and our domestic headquarters are very satisfied with our work.

With the experience of plastic flower customs clearance, when Chao Ge arranged for domestic delivery again, he put a few key machines and a batch of key embryos in the container, and asked Xiao Wang not to show the key machine and key embryo in the customs clearance information.

On Friday, Danya got her business license as scheduled, and we simply set up the counter and officially opened on Saturday. Tanya's parents and grandmother also came from the small town of Luinna to celebrate us. Our counter in the mall sold more than three million rubles on the first day, and the blankets and plastic flowers were very popular, and at one point customers lined up in front of our counter to buy plastic flowers. Seeing that Tanya was in a hurry, Tanya's mother helped Tanya for a day and taught her how to sell goods. That evening, we went to Jinlong Chinese Restaurant to celebrate. I met Katya who taught Russian to Xiao Zhang at the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant, and I asked Xiao Zhang how he was learning Russian, and Xiao Zhang briefly said a few words to Danya in Russian. Seeing that Xiao Zhang and Katya were very close together, I squeezed my eyes at Xiao Zhang and asked, "Have you done Katya?" Zhang replied to me in Russian: "Cut Nesna (of course)." Katya asked me curiously, "What are you talking about?" I smiled and said, "I'm asking if I love you or not." Ka Jiaxin thought it was true, hugged Xiao Zhang and kissed him.

After our counter opened, I went to Ulan-Ude to inspect the timber from Bart. On the plane to Ulan-Ude, I met a 40-year-old villager from Northeast China surnamed Jiang, who was flying from Novosibirsk to the Russian Far East city of Khabarovsk and stopped at Ulan-Ud, Lao Jiang had come to Novosibirsk from Khabarovsk to visit his brother who was selling goods in the Chinese wholesale warehouse at the dock, and was now returning to Khabarovsk. It happened that Lao Jiang's seat was next to me, and we chatted all the way on the plane, and from Lao Jiang's mouth, I learned about the situation from Far Eastern China to you.

Because the Russian Far East is the closest to China, adjacent to the Heilongjiang River, and it is very convenient to enter from the Heihe Suifen River port, the Far East is the first Russian region that Chinese masters entered. The Russian Far East includes seven subjects of the Russian Federation: Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin Oblast, Amur Oblast, Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, and Chita Oblast. The territory of the seven oblasts covers an area of 2.69 million square kilometers and has a population of nearly 10 million, of which 80% are Russians, 8% are Ukrainians, and the rest are Belarusians, Nanai and other ethnic groups. Now that the Chinese are definitely not a minority here, how many Chinese masters are there in the Far East? No one can say clearly, the Russian media say that there are 500,000 or 1 million people, the figure published by the Russian Foreign Ministry is 100,000, and the estimate of the Russian Institute for Far Eastern Economics is 200,000, both legal and illegal. In the Far East, wherever the train can reach, even small towns, there are Chinese there, and the market where thousands of Chinese gather to do business exists in almost every slightly larger city in the Far East. Khabarovsk is the political center of the Far East, with a population of half a million and one of the largest cities in the Far East. In the large Chinese market in Khabarovsk, two or three thousand Chinese run various goods from China, and almost all the necessities of daily life of the residents of the entire Khabarovsk Territory come from this large market.

At first, Lao Jiang and the Chinese gentlemen who went to Khabarovsk together put their goods on the side of the road to sell. In the beginning, the local triad in Khabarovsk initially asked them for money to collect a small amount of protection money, but later, the mafia leader simply bought a piece of land from the government and built a large market. The triad pays money to the government every year, and the Chinese master in the market only deals with the mafia, not the government's tax department. In this way, the Chinese unfortunate men only need to sell goods and pay money to the underworld on time, which saves a lot of trouble. This is similar to the Chinese market in Irkusco, which was built by the triad.

Lao Jiang said that the triad in the Far East is very powerful, and even the government is very afraid of the underworld, and even the mayors of some cities are the bosses of the underworld. The underworld is very open in the Far East, they have their own special car license plates, and having this kind of license plate is a status symbol, they can run red lights casually, they can go against the grain, and no one dares to mess with them. I sue Sรน Lao Jiang, and it is the same in Novosibirsk, where the police see the underworld what a mouse sees a cat. Lao Jiang said that he has been to many cities in Russia, and they are all like this, and Russia is controlled by the underworld. With these underworlds, there is no harm to the Chinese underworlds, and it is precisely because of these underworlds that the Chinese underworlds have a market where they can sell their goods.

As long as the Chinese gentlemen pay the normal rent in accordance with the requirements of the underworld in the Far East, they generally do not cause too much trouble. However, due to the increasing number of Chinese masters in the Russian Far East, some hooligans who had committed crimes in the country smuggled over and formed a Chinese triad. This kind of Chinese triad poses a very big threat to China's underprivileged people. The Chinese triad uses to obtain money from the Chinese master by stepping on the bag. Lao Jiang has been stepped on by the Chinese underworld many times, and he can only swallow his anger every time. Not only Lao Jiang, but almost all Chinese masters in the Far East have encountered being trampled on by the Chinese underworld. I remembered that the old Song of the Northeast of Moscow, whom I met on the international train, had no choice but to go to Moscow because he was trampled on by the Chinese underworld in the Far East.

And the biggest threat to the Chinese masters in the Far East is the Russian police, who always blackmail and blackmail the Chinese masters for no reason. The police in the Far East have treated the Chinese unscrupulous men as living cash machines, and as long as the Chinese unscrupulous men go out of the market, they will inevitably encounter the police checking their passports and fines, and even in the rental house, they will be caught and fined by the police who suddenly break in. The police in Khabarovsk have a saying that you can buy a new car as long as you check the passport of a Chinese for ten days. I can't help but think of the fact that I was blackmailed and robbed by the police at the airport, and the ******** of the Chinese Wholesale Building at the gate of the railway freight yard was blackmailed by the police. In the Russian Far East, it is even more than that, which is called the world as black as a crow.

When the plane arrived in Ulan-Ude and parted ways with Lao Jiang, I wish Lao Jiang a safe and secure stay in Khabarovsk, and I also hope that all the Chinese people in the Far East will be safe.
