After getting out of the car and taking a look at the brightly lit villa, Tie Jun was a little nervous. When he opened the door, he saw good and bad luck, danger and opportunity coexisting.
Everything is the same, there is no free cake, and there is no good thing like pie in the sky. What he wants to do is a win-win situation, tying up money but not his heart.
"Jun, why are you dazed! Please!"
Lada patted Tie Jun, then bent down and made a gesture of invitation. Tie Jun smiled, picked up the gift, and walked forward.
The door opened, and the short and fat figure of Rada's police chief father appeared in front of him, with his fat arms spread out and a smile on his face.
"Jun, welcome!"
"Uncle, thank you!"
The two hugged each other warmly, and other people in the room also came to greet them. Lada began to introduce, and Tiejun hugged each other.
After getting acquainted, Tie Jun presented gifts, a bouquet of flowers, four bottles of Maotai, and a set of silver tableware. It could be seen that Lada's parents liked it very much.
Sitting on the sofa, Tie Jun memorized the information of the people in front of him.
The Rada family is the largest surname in the Soviet Union, the Ivanov family.
My father’s name is Yazov, the chief of the Moscow Police Department and a member of the National Security Council (KGB).
My mother's name is Basinyeva. She doesn't have the waist of most Soviet women. She has a standard figure and an elegant temperament. She works at CCTV.
The uncle's name is Victor, the governor of the Central Bank. He is very tall, thin, unsmiling, and a very serious little old man.
My uncle's name is Yuri, the president of the Leningrad Bank. He is not tall, very thin, and handsome. He has a mustache and speaks slowly.
(The Soviets called uncles, uncles, and uncles uniformly "Jiajia". As for the names of the seven aunts and eight aunts, the Soviets said it was too scary.)
The three brothers looked nothing alike. Tie Jun was very curious, but he didn't ask. He was just a passerby and had no intention of exploring the already confusing kinship relationships of the Soviet people.
After sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, dinner was served. Rada came over and invited them to sit down, and they moved to the restaurant.
The host, Yazov, sat at one end of the long table, making it easier for him to add dishes to the guests. Tiejun sat first on the right, followed by Rada, Basinyeva, and the two bank presidents sat opposite.
Yazov gave a long opening drink, which was nothing more than auspicious words such as the hope that friendship would last forever and mutual development, and then he drank the wine in the glass.
They already knew everything about Tie Jun, so they didn't ask Tie Jun anything. Tie Jun knew that these old guys didn't talk about things when they were drunk.
Hehehehehe talked about the customs of the two countries, told some non-vegetarian jokes, and quickly drank up the two bottles of wine, and the vodka came on stage.
Tie Jun has a headache. This bad wine tastes terrible. It’s spicy. He wants to drink Moutai, but he won’t drink it!
After drinking two bottles of vodka, the atmosphere became tense. Rada carried out the accordion and Basinyeva carried out the balalaika (three-stringed grand piano).
The piano played the popular song "Katyusha". The three brothers Ivan stood up and led Tie Jun in a cheerful dance.
"While pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, soft veils are floating on the river.
Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring..."
Singing and dancing, Tie Jun was infected by this family. He imitated Lada, closed his eyes, twisted his shoulders, and was intoxicated by the charming music.
Compared to drinking in China, Tie Jun prefers the Soviet atmosphere of singing and dancing, letting himself go, and perfectly interpreting the artistic conception of "there is wine now, and now you are drunk".
"Jun, you speak Russian very well and are very kind to the people of our country. Are you prepared to do trade in the long term?"
After dancing a song and sitting back at the dining table, Yazov patted Tie Jun on the shoulder and asked.
Tie Jun nodded and said, "Yes, the friendship between China and Russia will last forever, and trade will definitely get better and better!"
"Yeah! That makes sense, let's go, it's time to be frank, hahahaha!"
Tie Jun guessed that this would happen and was prepared for it. He brought his swimming trunks with him. He immediately got up and went out to the sauna with three old guys.
Every house in the Soviet Union had a sauna, especially in winter. They would steam it every day, and then soak in the ice water to enjoy the wonderful taste of ice and fire.
Sitting down naked, Tie Jun's muscular body was exposed in front of the three old guys. The three of them screamed "tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk".
After steaming for a while, Azov spoke first, "Jun, we regard you as a friend and want to partner with you to do big business!"
"Uncle Azov, I also want to cooperate with you, but I want to know why you chose me?"
Tie Jun knew very well that when doing business with Lao Maozi, you must not do Tai Chi. You must be straight forward. If you succeed, you will be pushed back. If you don't, Lao Maozi will bother your mother-in-law the most.
"Because we can rest assured doing business with you!"
The boss Victor answered Tie Jun's question seriously.
"Uncle Victor, if I guess correctly, you have dealings with big banks such as Citigroup and HSBC, right?"
Tie Jun thought for a while and said slowly.
"They are robbers who have messed up our country and come to rob our property."
Tie Jun was stunned. People in the Soviet Union today yearn for the kind of free life in the United States. Not to mention that the whole country is confused, he, the money manager, should have been brainwashed long ago.
Seeing Tie Jun's confusion, Victor sighed.
"well!
There is a saying in your country that a dike of thousands of miles can be defeated by ants!
It is our own problem, it is rotten to the root and there is no cure.
The State-Owned Enterprise Law was implemented in 1988, which clearly stated that state-owned enterprises should turn to comprehensive economic accounting and implement self-financing, self-financing and independent operations.
This shows what?
Naked state-owned privatization!
In the past two years, you can go and see that every factory has been turned into private property. The former factory director became rich overnight and became a big boss.
We are so frustrated that we have opened the top and put it in our pockets. If we don’t move, our pockets will be empty even if we don’t say anything about it!
Americans are so smart!
While pinching our energy exports, we are also printing green (old people call the US dollar green), which has led to the devaluation of green and the rapid evaporation of our foreign exchange reserves.
I proposed a solution and wrote a 30-page proposal. On the third day, I saw my proposal in the supervisor’s wastebasket, alas!”
Victor sighed again, took a glass of cold beer with a depressed expression, and drank it in one gulp.
Tie Jun looked at Victor coldly and smiled secretly in his heart.
Haha, you made a good calculation. You were afraid that the foreign devils would play tricks on you, so you fell in love with me, a Chinese boy.
You know that there is a huge market behind me, and I am engaged in long-term trade. I have no foundation yet, so I am not afraid of turning it out of your hands, not to mention that I have a police chief with KGB status.
Tie Jun guessed correctly, brother Ivan really thought so.
Nowadays, many corrupt officials are moving closer to Lao Mi, and their goals are huge. Not only are they prone to getting into trouble, but they may also be branded as traitors.
Cooperating with Tiejun is different. It's a side-stepping approach. It's concealed and safe, easy to operate, and there's no fear of Tiejun's betrayal.
