Chapter 438: The Comrades of "Pirate Captain" (Part I)
Listening to their conversations, I learned a few things. It turned out that Mr. Su, who was known as "Pirate Captain", first knew Lao Xie.
Lao Xie's wife is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent, and she has some relatives in Russia. With this connection, Mr. Su, who was the captain of the contractor at the time, came to Irkutsk with Lao Xie to go to the sea to collect gold. Lao Xie and Su can be said to be the first Chinese to come to Irkutsk. With Mr. Su's "fearless spirit" like "Pirate Captain", Lao Xie and Mr. Su quickly opened up the situation in the local area.
Later, they got acquainted with Boss Zhang, who was doing border trade here, and Director Zhu, who was speculating in foreign exchange. It is said that these four people were known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the inverted circle of Irkutsk at that time.
Mr. Su, who got the first pot of gold in the market, met Mr. Liu, a construction engineer, and they were also peers, and the two were like-minded, and soon the construction team they cooperated with in Chita and Irkutsk did a good job.
A few years later, Lao Xie used the money he earned to build a small four-story building here, which was rented out to Chinese who came here to do business. Business is also quite hot nowadays.
According to Western legends, only those who can betray their own mother are worthy of being pirates!
Therefore, Mr. Su, who has the prestige of "Pirate Captain", seems to be a veritable master of accumulating money. Not only did he set up his own construction company here, but his foreign trade company also began to engage in large-scale international trade one step ahead of those backward masters. And gradually developed into today's "Angara" science and technology, cultural construction, economic and trade investment holding group co., LTD.
The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of which are different. The fate of "The Four Heavenly Kings" is also very different.
The first to memorize the words was Boss Zhang.
His bad luck began with a wholesale of moldy leather jackets. Originally, leather jackets were the best-selling goods at that time, and as long as they arrived, they would not worry about selling, but the world just seemed to be unsatisfactory.
The vast majority of the master is through gray customs clearance, so the logistics and transportation links are very imperfect, and there are serious problems with the amount of goods in addition to Boss Zhang's goods themselves. The goods he received were drenched in rain during transit. The condition of those leather jackets is very similar to that of the tea leaves of Liu Fa in Sichuan, most of them have deteriorated and moldy.
Although this batch of goods caused Boss Zhang to lose a lot, what he never expected was that this was the beginning of his bad luck...... In the next business, he did what he did and lost everything, and almost lost all the money he earned before.
At that time, the desperate Boss Zhang almost collapsed physically and mentally. He began to visit all kinds of gods to give him a calamity and transport! For this reason, he also fasted and practiced on Wutai Mountain for a month. Later, a master told him fortune and asked him to send something to him at a certain time, which would definitely help him turn things around.
Boss Zhang, who is full of ambition, believes that this master is the noble man who saved himself from fire and water. After thanking the master, Boss Zhang pressed all his worth according to the master's instructions and wanted to fight desperately.
However, the result of the practice master's appointment really made Boss Zhang really doubt his life: his goods were all confiscated by the customs on suspicion of smuggling.
Boss Zhang, who has nothing. owed a lot of money to the manufacturer and didn't dare to return to China, so he could only borrow to live with Director Zhu and began to borrow wine every day to kill his sorrows.
