The first thing to do when you arrive at a new place is to observe the terrain and think about how to run in case of an emergency.

To put it mildly, this is called thinking about advancing and retreating before thinking.

After arriving in Hunchun, Liu Cheng discovered that Maozi's insistence on coming here to discuss business was indeed justified, and not only because it was relatively close to their hometown.

Although Hunchun is not large, there are a lot of floating populations, and the composition of the population is particularly mixed.

Japanese, Maozi, Peninsula people, Chinese people, and even some displaced people from Southeast Asia.

Of course, except for Maozi, the rest of these people were basically caught here by the devil to work as laborers.

The most important thing is that there is no need to check the certificate of good citizenship issued by the little devil here, as long as you pay enough "money to buy the road" and whether there is a suspicious murder weapon on your body, you can go unimpeded.

Moreover, the terrain here is relatively simple, in the earliest days, it was a village, and most of the people made a living from fishing.

Later, Maozi came, and the devil followed, especially now, the boats on the river are under the control of the devil, the fish can't be beaten, and the people can only go to the devil as coolies if they want to eat.

Early the next morning, Liu Chengcheng took Hao Dabao to find his classmate according to the address given by Qian Lu.

Qian Lu's classmate is called Zhou Shunfeng, his grandfather used to be a fisherman, and his family's fishing boat was the largest and most numerous, so when he was still in his mother's belly, his grandfather finalized his name ---- Shunfeng.

As soon as Liu Cheng saw Zhou Shunfeng, he felt that this kid was a natural businessman.

Especially the pair of attractive ears, no matter how you look at it, you feel festive.

Zhou Shunfeng warmly entertained Liu Cheng and promised to arrange for him to meet Maozi immediately.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shunfeng told Liu Cheng that Mao Zi promised to meet in Shunfeng Building in the evening.

Shunfeng Lou is a restaurant opened by Zhou Shunfeng, which is also one of the top restaurants in Hunchun, and in order to cater to diners, it not only serves Chinese cuisine, but also can cook Russian Western food and Japanese cuisine.

But it is not known who "left" whom inside.

At the time of the lamp, Liu Cheng followed Zhou Shunfeng to Shunfeng Building and opened a private room on the third floor.

After a short time, there was a sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs, and listening to the sound, you knew that the weight of the person who came definitely exceeded two hundred catties.

Zhou Shunfeng immediately got up and went to the door to open the door, and then Liu Cheng saw a Mao Zi who was more than two meters tall appear at the door.

Before Zhou Shunfeng could introduce him, Liu Chengcheng stepped forward and said to the Mao Zi with a smile:

"Zidras, De Wuyi."

Mao Zi was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Cheng:

"Zidras, De Wuyi."

Zhou Shunfeng looked at Liu Cheng in a daze and said:

"Boss Liu can speak Russian?"

Liu Cheng smiled:

"Haha, just a few words, see the smile, see the smile."

He does know a few words, and he is not proficient, but he is completely capable of basic communication.

After the old man in his previous life drew a circle on the edge of the South China Sea, Liu Cheng was the first batch of people to do futures trading with Maozi, and it was naturally not unusual for him to say a few words about them.

The Russian's name was Stagnovich, and he specialized in dumping things that the Japanese did not allow trade.

The business that Liu Cheng talked about with Stagonovic this time was not guns or medicines, but copper ingots.

The first business, if it gets bigger, will definitely not work.

Although copper is also not allowed by devils, it will not scare Mao Zi away.

And the amount that Liu Cheng wants is not particularly large, only ten tons.

That's not a lot for Stagnovich.

When it comes to doing business, Liu Cheng is no worse than Qian Lu, and he can even be said to be better than many people in this era.

The most important point of doing business is to grasp the psychology of the other party, be able to accurately find the entry point, use what the other party wants the most, and then obtain greater benefits from its hands.

After listening to the goods that Liu Cheng wanted, Stagnovich immediately showed an embarrassed expression and said:

"Friend, it's hard to ship this kind of thing you want here now, and you know that the Japanese are very strict about these things now, and you make it very difficult for me."

Liu Cheng smiled faintly and said very generously:

"Don't worry, we can negotiate the price, besides, I don't have to buy these goods from you, you also know that there are not a lot of minerals in this land of China, although now the Japanese have occupied the Northeast, but I can go to other places to buy, I just think it's a little more convenient, that kind of transportation is a little too far."

What Stagnovich wanted was just more money, and he didn't need to go back to his hometown to get ten tons of copper ingots, he could just get them.

However, for the sake of safety, he still has to understand and test it more to avoid causing trouble to himself.

Zhou Shunfeng didn't speak after Liu Cheng spoke, and the reason why he agreed to pull the strings from him was actually to do something about the price.

In his opinion, Liu Cheng must not be able to speak Russian, in that case, he can do something about the price and make a profit.

But I didn't expect the duck that had reached its beak to fly like this.

Liu Cheng saw his thoughts, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Boss Zhou, rest assured, your hard work will not be less!"

Although Liu Cheng said this, Zhou Shunfeng was still not happy.

After all, if he operated it himself, he could have raised the price by 20%, but now, Liu Cheng gave at most a fraction of it.

After the meal, Stagnovich did not immediately make a clear statement, Liu Cheng knew what he was worried about, and he also knew that this matter had basically been decided, and it was just time.

Maozi loves to drink, which is one of their characteristics.

It just so happens that Liu Cheng also likes to drink.

For this meal, the two of them drank a jar of soju, almost a pound and a half each.

Liu Cheng drank Stagnovich very happily, and sat down next to Liu Cheng halfway through the meal to call him a brother.

When he went downstairs, Stargnovich suddenly mysteriously leaned into Liu Cheng's ear, and said with a wink:

"Liu, let's go, I'll take you to a beautiful place......"

There was no need to go any further, Liu Cheng had already guessed from his eyes what the place was.

At this time, Liu Cheng had no way to refuse, so he could only let Hao Dabao go back to the inn first, and he followed Stagonovic into a courtyard with him.

At that time, the Japanese nominally forbade the opening of such places, but in some places they turned a blind eye and ignored them at all.

It's just that Japanese officers don't appear in such places as they do on TV.

Liu Cheng has been a human being for two lifetimes, but it is the first time he has seen the "old bustard".

Stargnovich was clearly a regular visitor here, and when the old bustard saw him, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

When those "girls" were called out by the bustard, Liu Cheng could only curse in his heart in addition to being embarrassed:

"Damn, this world is so fucking small......"
