Semipalatinsk, the capital of Semipalatinsk Oblast, is a city that will become famous in the future, but if you want to pinpoint its location on a map, sorry, don't try to find it unless you can read Russian. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info because "Semipalatinsk" is dedicated to Russian, the name on the map of China is Semey, and there are also marked as "Semyy".

For this small Kazakh city on the banks of the Irtysh River, Lin Jun in his previous life is quite familiar. At that time, the city of more than 200,000 people was completely a commercial city, with no industry, or very little industry there, and almost all the residents living in that city were businessmen.

Lin Jun's father used to be a businessman, and Lin Jun and his father also went to Semipalatinsk, but they went there not to do business, but to save people in the city.

The whole city is full of green trees, and it is summer when Lin Jun arrives, no matter where you stand in the city, you can see dense woods, and it is hard to imagine that it is in the hinterland of Central Asia, and the suburbs are grasslands and deserts. The buildings of the Soviet era are hidden in the greenery, and they look like they have been so vicissitudes.

In Lin Jun's previous life, the city contained unlimited business opportunities that businessmen could only dream of, but its residents "earned" the city's reputation as a "city of swindlers" in their economic and trade dealings with China.

It was a dangerous city, the "Waterloo" of countless Chinese merchants engaged in border trade in the nineties. Countless millionaires and multimillionaires in China have been reduced to penniless businessmen here, deceived businessmen call the city a city of swindlers, and local residents who have not cheated Chinese out of money also call their city's merchants "Hei Telli" (meaning black heart).

There, you can buy almost everything you want, as long as you have enough money and a strong wrist. Maybe you ask a random guy in the market, "Man, I want to buy two SAM-7s." He might have said mysteriously, "Oh, it just so happens that we have two in our house." Take the money, and I'll sell it to you. After he cheats you out of your money in various ways, he will say without shame: "Look, it's unfortunate that my missile in my house was launched into the sky." "As for the plausibility of the lie, he wouldn't even think about it, it would be in this city, it's almost a common nature.

Of course, if your wrist is strong enough and your bodyguard tramples him under his feet and puts an AKM or Makarov pistol to his head, maybe he can get you two SAM-7s!

At that time, Lin Jun hated this city very much, a great socialist country had become like this, and the wrong policies and guidance had made the merchants of that city a group of greedy vampires! And one of my father's business friends encountered a business Waterloo in Semipalatinsk, and when he couldn't get money, he could only ask Lin Jun's father for help - he was even cheated of all the money to return to China.

At that time, Lin Jun and his father happened to visit the old man Vasily Mikhainovich Yankov in Bryansco, and after receiving a call for help from a friend, Lin Jun's father immediately prepared to go to Kazakhstan out of the feelings of a friend.

"Comrade Lin, you can't go to Semipalatinsk like this, it's dangerous." Old man Vasily said to Lin Jun's father at the first time.

Lin Jun's father did not have any business in Kazakhstan at that time, and he was not familiar with the situation there, but after listening to the introduction of the old man Vasily, he knew that this matter was not simple.

"If it's just for your friends to go back home, you don't need to go there in person at all, the bank and the post office will do the trick. If you want to help your friend get their money back, I have a solution. ”

Lin Jun's father accepted the suggestion of the old man Vasily, and the old man came forward to find 5 reliable helpers, all of whom were fierce veterans of the Soviet "GRU" special forces, led by the son of the old man's old neighbor, who retired from Afghanistan and couldn't find a job, so he relied on helping some customers with special needs to solve troubles.

Each person will travel to Semipalatinsk with transportation, accommodation and food.

For the first time, the young Lin Jun saw what mercenaries were, but the wages of these mercenaries were very low, 2,000 yuan per person a month. There are two additional conditions: first, Lin Jun's father's friend was deceived of more than 1 million, and if the money is returned, the mercenary will have to pay a commission of 30 percent; Second, Lin Jun's father wanted to pay another 5,000 yuan as "activity expenses".

After arriving in Semipalatinsk, Lin Jun and his father walked around the city, found friends, and returned to Bryan Sk. A few days later, the five mercenaries returned with Lin Jun's father's friend, along with 1 million yuan and a large number of luxury goods.

After fulfilling the conditions, the mercenaries led by him told Lin Jun's father: If there are any problems that need to be solved by unconventional means in the future, they can be contacted at any time, and the price must be fair.

That time gave Lin Jun a glimpse of the dark side after the collapse of the Soviet Union: in Semipalatinsk, it is almost impossible for the deceived Chinese to ask for an account, even if they are sued through the court, the final result is often that the scammer swears in front of the judge, using the health of his children or touching Leba (the worst oath): I admit to owing money, I will pay you back, but I don't have it now. The judge will also proudly say to you: Look, we have done your thing, and he promised to pay back the money, but now he does not. Since then, it has never been seen again.

My father's friend once knelt all night at the door of a crook's house in the coldest winter, hoping to get back even a tenth of his money, or the money he used for his own life. But in the end, even enough to buy a leba (leba, a Russian-style hard bread with the same hardness as a stone. The large ones are generally called Da Leba, and they are often sold in a cloth bag, which can be used as a meteor hammer and can definitely kill people. The money was not returned, trapped in Semipalatinsk for more than a year.

How did you get the money back? Few people can have reliable friends on Russian soil like Lin Jun's family, and few people can find reliable "Soviet bodyguards", so few Chinese businessmen dare to use the methods used by Lin Jun's father. A few mercenaries, led by that friend, found the crook's house, put down the bodyguards, put a submachine gun bought at a super cheap price on the black market to the crook's head, and tied a grenade to the crook's family, so the crook quickly withdrew all the deposits from the bank.

In Semipalatinsk, reasoning didn't work, and the Chinese businessman was lucky: apparently the crook was not the only one who had deceived him, otherwise he would not have had so much cash - the crook's villa was worth millions. Others don't have such good luck!

Why is this happening?!

In 1992, the Chinese port of Baktu was opened, because the distance between the two places was only 600 kilometers, and most of the residents of Semipalatinsk without industry flocked to China to engage in commercial circulation. At that time, the most popular business was the border trade: the Semipalatinsk people transported the abundant scrap non-ferrous metals to China, and the profits in the middle were huge profits for the merchants on both sides. For a period of time, people who ran foreign trade businesses at the Baktu port were self-made and became rich overnight.

In a short period of time, Tacheng, where the Baktu port is located, quickly produced countless millionaires and multimillionaires. Merchants from all over the country flocked to the small city, which had a population of less than 100,000. At that time, among the local businessmen who did border trade, there was a saying that "doing border trade is more profitable than selling drugs". In order to compete for Kazakh customers, Chinese businessmen are almost scrambling to hand over tens of millions of cash to Kazakh customers who do business in China to buy scrap metal; Or export goods on credit to Kazakh merchants.

Soon, those who paid a deposit and could receive the goods, and the goods on credit and could recover the money became a lucky few. After returning home, the Kazakh businessman who cheated money in China first used the deceived money to buy a car, buy a house, and find a lover. At the same time, they teach their relatives and friends how to deceive, and new scammers appear and start repeatedly. It is because of the huge profits that Chinese businessmen have also been deceived one after another.

This vicious circle has been maintained for ten years between the two cities! After 2002, the import of scrap metal at the Baktu port stopped causing this unfair game to stop.

In the past ten years, there are already a few rich people in Tacheng who are still operating border trade and have not gone bankrupt due to border trade. There are only a handful of enterprises and individuals who have succeeded in border trade. And almost every bankrupt Chinese businessman, without exception, is because he was cheated and not because he lost money.

The Chinese businessman said, "It's not that we don't have brains, it's that we want to do business too much." But Kazakh businessmen do not know what integrity is, and they cheat once and count once, and do not think about long-term development at all. No matter how you try to prevent it, it will be difficult to escape the doom of being cheated unless you don't do it. ”

On December 2, 1940, Lin Jun's special plane arrived at the snow-shrouded city of Semipalatinsk, the only "Soviet city" that he once hated very much.

This time, he personally came here to decide on the plan for the nuclear weapons test site, and he was not satisfied with the area set aside by the National Defense Committee a few days ago, because the area alone was smaller than his own consideration.

"Things are not people", the current city of Semipalatinsk is not hated at all, everyone is so cute, who would have thought that the change of the system could turn everything upside down and angels become demons!

The moment he stepped down the boarding ladder, a thought flashed in Lin Jun's heart: "I will never let the situation I have seen appear!"
