At five o'clock in the afternoon, Brother Chao and I arrived on time at the office of the Siberian Hotel Varoga, who was in his forties, with very neatly trimmed light gray hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a medium-sturdy body wearing a very well-tailored dark suit. Valroga's spacious office is arranged like a scholar's study, with a thick and wide walnut desk in the center of the office, a walnut bookcase full of books and some crafts on the back of the desk against the whole wall, a walnut wine cabinet against the wall on the left hand, which is filled with all kinds of high-end wines, two landscape oil paintings are hung on the wall next to the wine cabinet, a set of high-end leather sofas are placed on the right hand side of the door, and a few pots of green plants are placed on the window sill on the right.

Brother Chao introduced me to Valoga, Varroga shook hands with me very warmly, invited us to sit on the sofa, arranged for the blonde and blue-eyed beautiful secretary to make two cups of coffee for us and sent it over, the beautiful secretary walked into the room with the brewed coffee, a strong aroma came to the nose, Varroga told us not to add sugar to the coffee, I took a sip of coffee, a different slightly sour mellow aroma spread from the throat to the mouth, there is no bitterness of ordinary coffee, I can't help but say a really fragrant coffee, Valroga told us with some smugness that it was the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee he had just received. I secretly smacked my tongue, this is the real best noble coffee, only grown at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters in the foggy and rainy Jamaican Blue Mountains mountain range, and processed by a government-authorized processing plant and certified by the government is the real Blue Mountain coffee. Because the production is very small and the price is extremely expensive, only a very small number of people in the world can drink authentic Blue Mountain coffee, it seems that the power and strength of this Russian mafia are extraordinary.

I took out the jade carved golden cicada in a delicate wooden box from my leather bag, held it in both hands and handed it to Valoca, and I said, "This is specially arranged for me to be customized in China, and I will give it to you today on behalf of the company." After I finished saying this, I saw Brother Chao's appreciative eyes on me. When he opened the wooden box and took out the jade carved golden toad, he saw that Valoga's eyes lit up, "Very delicate and valuable gift, thank you very much!" Vanya, you really have a heart, I just mentioned it last time, and you remember, Peng, you have a good eye, I like it very much. I know what this three-legged toad is, this you China should be called Jin Toad, the mouth is your ancient Chinese money, Jin Toad is your Chinese legend can bring wealth and luck of the mascot, I put it on the table, to ask the direction of the Jin Toad to spit out money at me, I hope it brings me good luck. Brother Chao gave Valroga a thumbs up, "Mr. Valroga is really knowledgeable, many of us Chinese don't know what this three-legged toad should be called, I hope this golden toad can bring you good luck, and I also hope that our cooperation can be smooth and profitable, and we want the golden toad to bring us financial resources." "Vanya is right, I think we're going to have a lot of money," Valroga said. I studied politics and philosophy in college, and I graduated with a master's degree in philosophy, and I like to read very much, and I also like to study your oriental culture, especially feng shui. When I used to work in the government, I was in charge of Oriental affairs under Mr. Petrovich. "It turns out that Varoga is a highly educated KGB background, no wonder it looks different, and dealing with Brother Chao is also quite a bit of a taste of oriental strategy before the soldiers, but some can't believe that such a character is also obsessed with feng shui. Valroga put the jade carving on the table, opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of French XO brandy and three wine glasses, poured the wine into the wine glasses and handed it to us, "Come, for this precious gift, for good luck, and for our cooperation and prosperity!" ”

After drinking the brandy in the cup, Varroga called the secretary in, and then said to us: "Friends are friends and business is business, Vanya will take my people to China tomorrow, in order to be able to cooperate happily, we will now confirm some of the conditions of the first cooperation, dear Marina, please make a record." "I also took out my notebook and prepared to write down the key points of today's negotiations. Varoga continued: "Vanya, now I will tell you about it, I want someone to check, your company in Novosibirsk has just been registered, and at the same time, I want a friend from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the Russian Embassy in China to find out about the situation of your company, your company has a government background, and there should be no problem with strength, so it's very good, we like to deal with powerful companies." Vanya, you've probably heard of Mr. Petrovich, we're much stronger than you think. I also asked someone to investigate your cooperation with Sasha Company, you should have made a lot of money that time, but the quality of the goods you sent was good, and the delivery time was also very timely, so we chose to cooperate with your company is still quite satisfied. After speaking, Varroga looked at Brother Chao, who clapped his palms together on his chest and said: "Mr. Varroga, thank you for your openness and trust, who in Novosibirsk does not know Mr. Petrovich's name?" I have also learned your strength, just before coming to your office, Peng and I went to the central market for a turn, there are a lot of Chinese goods in the market, but they are all low-grade and of poor quality, and now the Russians have begun to boycott these low-grade goods. In order to be able to cooperate happily for a long time, our cooperation also includes future cooperation, we will provide good quality goods, and our company cooperation suppliers are relatively large factories, the quality can be 100% guaranteed, but the price will be higher than the low-grade goods on the market, so please understand. Varroga said: "You have a saying in China that you get what you pay for, and we also have a saying that I am not very rich enough to buy junk goods, and junk goods can only be used once while good things can be used a hundred times, and the money that buys junk goods a hundred times will buy good things more than ten times, and everyone understands this truth." But you also know that the income of Russians is not very high now, so I don't want the price to be too high, otherwise there will be no market either. Brother Chao said: "You can rest assured that as long as you choose the goods, we will give the most reasonable price, and we can even make no money from it." Do you see what else you could ask for? Valroga pondered for a moment and said, "Since your company has been registered, then I think the contract will wait until you come back, and I will sign it with your company, not my people in China to sign the contract with your head office." There is also the matter of delivery, your goods are sent out, and after the border arrives in Zabaikal, our side will deliver the goods. "This Valroga is shrewd. In this way, they will take the initiative and we will be very passive. Brother Chao thought for a while and said: "There is no problem for the company here to sign a contract with you, and the delivery can also be according to your wishes, but in order to have an explanation with the head office, our company here should be the consignee of the goods sent by us, and the delivery date should also be indicated according to the date of actual railway arrival instead of the agreed date." In addition, if you sign a contract with the head office, the shipper of your goods should also be written in the name of our company, so that it is reasonable. After hearing this, Varoga laughed, "Vanya, you are very smart, in this way, you have the initiative, but since you are in Russia, what do we have to worry about?" Just do as you do. After saying that, Varoga poured each of us a glass of brandy, "Dear friends, come and raise a glass to wish us a successful cooperation!" After draining the brandy from the glass, Varroga said, "We went to the second floor, and I arranged dinner for the chef to cook the best dish here for my distinguished guests, and I invited Sasha to come over." After saying that, Varroga put his arm around my shoulders and squeezed his eyes at me and said, "Dear Peng, I'll give you an unexpected surprise in a moment." I hurriedly asked, "What kind of surprise?" Varoga replied, "I can't tell you now, or it won't be an unexpected surprise." ”

At the nightclub on the second floor of the hotel, the waiter greeted Valroga respectfully and took us to the VIP seat in front of the stage, where a long table had been set up, and the table covered with snow-white tablecloth was neatly arranged with cutlery, a bottle of seven-star Armenian brandy, and a bottle of Georgian wine. We had just sat down and Sasha arrived, and Varoga ordered the waiter to make us a pot of lemon tea. We were chatting over tea, when suddenly a strong smell of perfume wafted from behind me, and before I could turn to look, I heard Valroga say to me, "Peng, your unexpected surprise has arrived." I turned around and looked, and was stunned and stunned, only to see a beautiful woman with her hair pulled up, dressed in a low-cut evening dress, and a sexy and charming figure standing behind me, isn't this the beautiful dealer who dealt cards behind the blackjack table that night in the casino, seeing my stunned appearance, the beautiful dealer laughed and said, "Handsome guy, don't you welcome me?" I hurriedly moved away from the chair next to me and asked the beautiful woman to sit down, I was secretly surprised, this mafia is too powerful, I and Tanya came to the casino and they noticed it, could it be that the blackjack win was also specially arranged by Valoca?

Seeing that I looked a little confused, Varroga smiled and said, "As soon as you and the beautiful woman entered our casino that day, I received a report that a Chinese had entered the casino, and I immediately recognized you after watching the surveillance video." I was curious and asked, "How did you know me at that time?" Varoga replied: "Sasha will give you a certificate of residence, I will know, and I have seen your photo, please don't have any ideas, because we have to cooperate with you, so we pay special attention to you." I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Was my good luck that day also arranged by you?" Varoga laughed and said, "You have to ask the beautiful Anna about this." Anna, the beautiful dealer, gave me a wink and said, "That's your luck." I laughed; That's what I thought, too. Everyone burst out laughing.

After everyone was quiet, Valoka now said to Brother Chao: "Vanya, you have lived with us for many days, I have paid special attention, Vanya has never entered the casino, drinking is only in moderation, and he does not look for women, he is very restrained, and he is very smart, he is a person who does great things. Then he said to me: "Peng first came to us and entered the casino, I was very surprised, and then I saw that you will accept it when you see it, not greedy, and never come again, indicating that you are curious and adventurous, but you have the determination, you know what it means to see a good one, I heard that Peng is still a doctor, really good." I appreciate both of you. Anna continued: "If Peng continues to play that day, he may win some, but in the end it is difficult to say, but Peng stopped in time, although the amount is not large, but there are very few people in the casino like Peng who know how to stop in time." There's a joke in our casino about two men coming out of the casino, one naked, the other wearing only one pair of panties, and the naked ones say to the one wearing only one pair of panties, do you know what I admire most about you? You know when to stop in time. Everyone laughed again, and Varoga winked at Anna, "Charming Anna, do you want Peng to fight to the end tonight or do you want him to stop in time?" ”
