For the next two years, Fan Jinyou lived the life of a retired uncle.
I get up early every day to exercise, have breakfast when I get home, plant flowers in the morning, walk the dog, have lunch, play chess and drink tea in the afternoon.
Because after exercising, I don’t have to rush for time and I have free time to chat with people.
Fan Jinyou met several martial arts friends, including enthusiasts and retired coaches from Shichahai Martial Arts School.
Fan Jinyou followed him and learned a set of Baguazhang, which can be traced back to the Cheng School.
Learn Baguazhang, of course, because Xingyi Quan is not too strong and not suitable for girls to learn.
Both sons have been married for two years, and both daughters-in-law have become pregnant one after another.
Although the child has not been born yet, it is not difficult to know the gender of the child.
Zhao Xiaoqing was pregnant with a son, and Xu Jingtian followed the Xu family tradition and became pregnant with a daughter.
Fan Jinyou learned Baguazhang in order to teach it to his granddaughter in the future. Compared with Xingyiquan, this relatively dexterous Kung Fu is more suitable for both men and women.
Of course Chen Xueru couldn't stand Fan Jin having such a comfortable life.
But Fan Jun couldn't understand why Chen Xueru, a workaholic in her fifties, was still struggling like this.
After Fan Junyou earned enough money to live a prosperous life for three generations without any effort, he no longer had any desire to make money.
Chen Xueru advised Fan Jinyou to be diligent, and Fan Jinyou also advised Chen Xueru to let go and leave the company to his children, and just take charge of the general direction.
The result, of course, was that neither of the two could persuade the other.
"Lao Fan, please don't go play chess in the afternoon. Elena and Vladimir came to the capital and stayed at the Xu Huizhen Hotel. You and I can meet them together."
What is supposed to come will eventually come, and barter trade will finally begin.
The two Soviets, who were better informed than the people in China, contacted Xu Huizhen early, but because the conditions were not mature, they ignored Xu Huizhen.
The border crossing was not open yet, but after confirming the news, the two Soviets rushed across the border.
"Okay, I haven't seen these two Soviet friends for many years."
This is a big opportunity, and it has already hit his face. It would be a bit shameful for Fan Jun to take it or not.
Most of the first wave of richest people were those who took advantage of this wave of opportunities.
Elena has been going abroad as a reporter and doing silk business since the 1950s.
Vladimir also started working in the embassy abroad in the 1950s.
Both of them were not ordinary people in the Soviet Union. They both had some status and connections.
In addition, the two of them have been in China for many years, so they are half China hands.
There is some friendship between the two parties. Of course, the others are just casual acquaintances. Irina and Chen Xueru have done silk business, so they are considered true friends and have some real feelings for each other.
In all aspects, both of them are good candidates for cooperation.
Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru cleaned up, went to Xu Huizhen Hotel, and found the two people they had made an appointment with in the coffee shop.
"Elena, Vladimir."
"Xueru."
After a long absence, we naturally exchanged pleasantries first. We hadn't seen each other for many years, and our Chinese was not too unfamiliar.
In fact, even if it doesn't work, not to mention that Fan Jin has a good level of Russian, and Chen Xueru also picked up Russian for barter trade, so there is no problem in communication.
"Xueru, Vladimir and I returned to the capital this time. One of us wants to revisit our old place and meet our old friends. The other one accepted Xu Huizhen's invitation to do border barter trade together."
After the greetings, Irina said that she was a foreigner after all, so she didn't have to be polite and just got down to business.
"Elena, we can talk about business matters later. You have just arrived. We will take you around the capital for the next few days. There have been some changes in the capital over the years."
Chen Xueru said. On the way here, Fan Jinyou kept telling Xu Huizhen to do the barter trade first. After Xu Huizhen smoothed the road, the two of them could follow.
No matter how big the trade between the two countries is, Xu Hui can really do it.
In the next few days, Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru, along with Vladimir and Irina, traveled around the capital. The main thing was to get on with the two of them for future use.
Even if you want to focus on interests, it is better to deal with the relationship first, and then talk about interests.
Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu talked more with the two Soviets about business and how to start barter trade.
Xu Huizhen wanted Soviet cars and motorcycles, and Vladimir wanted domestic light industrial products and food.
Of course, these two groups would often drag Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru along with them during meetings.
Xu Hui really hopes to pull Chen Xueru along and share the risk with herself. Of course Vladimir hopes that the bigger the business, the better. The bigger the business, the more profits he will make.
The negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly. Both parties shipped the goods to the border and traded directly.
But both sides now have a biggest problem that needs to be solved. Vladimir does not have a lot of capital.
If it was the 1950s, the two Soviets would certainly be much richer than Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru.
However, with the unbalanced economic development of the Soviet Union and the depreciation of the ruble, the Soviet people's property has shrunk greatly, so Vladimir and Irina's wealth has also been greatly reduced.
With the reform in China, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen started doing business, and their wealth increased sharply.
Due to the ebb and flow, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru now have much more funds than Vladimir. The funds of the two parties are not equal.
Therefore, if you want to establish a barter trade, you need to give Vladimir some money first and let the two people go back to the Soviet Union to purchase supplies.
"Lao Fan, is your family really not going to participate in this barter?"
Xu Huizhen wanted so much that she was not willing to do the steel business, so she focused on the most profitable cars and motorcycles. If she wanted something big, the scale of the business must not be small. She also had to provide Vladimir's share of the capital.
The financial pressure was too great, so Cai Quanwu looked for Fan Jinyou every now and then.
"Don't participate, Lao Cai. I also advise you. It's your first time bartering and you haven't figured out the way yet. Don't do it so big. Steel, fertilizers, machinery and equipment all make money. Why do you just stick to it?
Get on a car or a motorcycle."
Fan Jinyou said, of course Fan Jinyou also knew that Xu Huizhen and Cai Quan both listened to their advice, and that was why Fan Jinyou spoke.
"Our Huizhen, don't you know, no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do."
"Then it's up to your family to make it yourself. That's fine. Only by eating alone can you be full. Then I wish you, my in-laws, a smooth business, make a lot of money, and earn more money for milk powder for your unborn granddaughter.
