Chapter 4 Zhejiang Merchants

After drinking the free coffee given by Lena, my brain woke up from my dazed state. "Brother Peng, let's have breakfast, do you want me to make a bowl of instant noodles for you?" Xiao Liu asked me, "I'm not hungry yet, you eat first." "Lying in the box almost all day without exercise and the fright in the middle of the night, I felt that I had no appetite at all, so I gave up the position of the lower bunk to Xiao Liu, and stood in the corridor by myself to look at the scenery outside the window.

After the international train comes to Chita, there are endless plains and continuous forests along the way, and if you look closely, there are mainly pine, aspen and birch trees, although the leaves of the aspen trees and birch trees have begun to turn yellow in autumn, and with the green of the conifer pine, the plains appear to be richly colored. The train runs for hours without a single human population, unlike in China, where there are many towns and villages along the train, and there are no forests to be seen, only sparse and short trees. I just looked out the window alone and didn't notice that Lao Chen was standing beside me, "Yes, Brother Chen, this forest has never been broken, and I haven't seen a village for a few hours." "The Russian Far East is sparsely populated, an average of tens of square kilometers is only one person, and the old Maozi people are very lazy, there is too much idle land, it would be good if some Chinese immigrants came, Chinese have more land and less land, immigrants can make good use of these lands, it is said that Russia's forests can not be cut down for three hundred years, from the east to the west, and the forests in the east have not been cut down again, and the people of the country with so many resources now even have a problem with eating, it is really a waste of this fertile land." In the past, the land in this area of Chita was all Chinese, and the Qing Dynasty was incompetent, signed several treaties that humiliated the country, and ceded 600,000 square kilometers of land to the Russian tsar for nothing, these land resources are very rich, including forests, natural gas and oil. Lao Chen couldn't help but sigh that he had learned this history in middle school textbooks, and now he was in this land that belonged to China, and his heart was much heavier. At this time, the fat brother came out of the box, and when he heard Lao Chen's emotion, he made a joke about Lao Chen: "Brother, why don't you just stay in Russia, and ask Lena to help you find a Madam (woman) and give birth to a group of mixed-race children, who just immigrated, which not only helped solve the problem of lack of men in Russia, but also helped alleviate the decline of Russia's population, and also improved the human race. Lao Chen kicked the fat man's buttocks, "Go cool and go on the side, see that you are the most suitable for immigration, just save food for the country, people are not good, show mercy everywhere, Russia lacks you like this, maybe one day on the streets of Russia to see a little fat man looks like you, I asked in the past, dare to love the little fat man fucking used to be a train attendant. "Hahaha, Xiao Liu and I listened and laughed on the side.

"What's so good about being so happy?" The middle-aged man from Zhejiang in the box next door poked his head out of the box and asked, "It's nothing, it's nothing, tell a joke." The fat man replied, "Is there something wrong with you in the middle of the night?" I heard shouts of robbers, and then screams. "Zhejiang people asked us, I told him what happened at night, "It's really scary, I heard that they are flooded with guns here, so I didn't dare to move, you really can, and this old brother is too powerful, it seems that I also have to get a pepper gun, it's really too practical, I went to Moscow, please take care of me along the way." The Zhejiang people hugged us as they spoke, "You're welcome, everyone is Chinese, and we take care of each other when we go out." The fat man also returned the salute with a fist at the Zhejiang people, "Was your goods fined 500 US dollars yesterday?" Lao Chen asked the people of Zhejiang, "Yes, yes, I brought too many things, I bought two tickets by myself, and the upper bunk was not slept, and the goods were all put away, and I was supposed to be fined 1,500 US dollars, but I took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to stuff her with 200 US dollars before changing it to a fine of 500 US dollars." "What kind of goods do you bring, is it convenient to talk about?" Lao Chen asked him again, "I don't want to hide it from you, I brought 600 sets of sportswear." "Adidas's?" The fat man asked, "Oops! It seems that the two old rivers and lakes know what goods are easy to sell, and they can't hide that they are imitation brand Adidas sports suits. The Zhejiang people replied with admiration, and I couldn't help but ask the Zhejiang people curiously: "Why didn't I see you getting off the bus to sell goods in Chita?" "I used to do a clothing business at home, the business is doing well, I have a relative who came to Russia the year before last, and now Moscow, he has made a lot of money over the years, and he wants me to go over to do it together, he said that Adidas sportswear is particularly popular, and he wants me to bring more with me when I go over, so I went to process a batch of plus-size ones according to his requirements. He specially told me to sell it if I could on the road, and if I couldn't sell it, I wouldn't sell it, and I could sell it at a good price if I stayed in Moscow, and I didn't get off the train because I didn't know any Russian like you, and I heard that there would be robberies at the station. The Zhejiang people answered me truthfully, "Can you take a look at your sportswear?" Lao Chen asked the Zhejiang people tentatively: "No problem, come to my box to see." As he spoke, the Zhejiang people opened the door of their box, the box of the Zhejiang people was full, and he stuffed a few large bags on the upper bunk, and there were two Tianjin girls who were lying on the bed reading books and went to Moscow to study, and they nodded at us as a greeting.

Zhejiang people climbed to the top bunk to open a big bag, took out a pack of sportswear from the inside and handed it to us, Lao Chen took it and opened it, it was a very classic black Adidas sportswear, there were three white stripes on the sleeves and trouser legs, the left chest and back of the jacket were printed with the Adidas clover logo on the pants pocket, the pockets of the jacket and pants were zipped, and the stitches were very even, "It is worthy of being a professional clothing maker, the workmanship style and fabric have nothing to say, it is really good, your batch of goods can definitely be sold at a good price" Lao Chen praised sincerely, " I'm more relieved to have my brother's words, I see that your goods are also very good, I didn't get off the car yesterday, and many Russians rushed to ask for your goods in the car. Zhejiang people happily complimented Lao Chen, "Do business and have to learn from you Zhejiang people, your natural business acumen, look at your brother is also a cheerful person, like our northerners' character, we can know in the international column is fate, and take care of each other more in the future." The fat man said to the people of Zhejiang very boldly, "The two eldest brothers are seniors, and they have to learn more from the two eldest brothers, many friends and many roads, I have a good Hangzhou Longjing here, my brother please go and borrow a few cups from the flight attendant, and we will drink tea and chat together." Xiao Liu was very diligent and went to borrow a few teacups from Lena, made a cup of Longjing tea for each of us, and made a bowl of instant noodles to eat while making tea, drinking tea and chatting, and did not feel a trace of loneliness during the long journey.
