Chapter eight hundred and eighty eighth, business is not good(2/2)
?」
The past two years have not been easy for serious publishing houses. They are tricking people everywhere into sponsoring books and publishing an autobiography for 100,000 yuan. I heard that there are quite a few arty bastards setting up monuments and biographies for themselves. Nan Yi wonders if he really wants to publish a book.
This collection of poems.
This thought came and went even faster. After a while, Nan Yi put his thoughts back and did what he was bound to do in a new place - read the newspaper.
"Hold!"
After reading one newspaper and picking up the second one, Nan Yi couldn't help but throw the newspaper out. There was a half-page *** advertisement in the newspaper. It had no morals and quality. It had pictures and addresses.
There is a phone.
Picking up several other newspapers, Nan Yi flipped through them. The situation was roughly the same. Except for the first newspaper he read, the others
All of them are advertising content, and you spend money to buy newspapers just to see the ads.
There was nothing in the newspaper that he wanted to read, so Nanyi put the newspaper aside, picked up the map of Ussuriysk and studied it for a while, then went to the restaurant on the sixth floor for dinner.
The Ussuriysk Hotel is contracted by three groups of Chinese, the second and fourth groups, the seventh floor group, and the sixth, eighth, and ninth floor groups. In addition to providing accommodation, each group also provides catering services, that is,
The so-called restaurant, if you live on the ninth floor, you will naturally go to the restaurant on the sixth floor to eat.
The people on the sixth, eighth, and ninth floors are a pair of brothers. They don't often stay in the hotel. Their parents are in charge of the management here. When Nan Yi arrived at the restaurant downstairs, his "mother" who usually cooks was there.
Sitting in the restaurant in a daze, the kitchen next door is busy cooking.
Although the name of the hotel on the sixth floor is a restaurant, it can only be regarded as a snack bar. It has two guest rooms, one is used as a kitchen and the other is used as a restaurant, and that's it.
The "mother" who is responsible for cooking is idle, but there are people in the kitchen who are busy. This is all because of Ye Gan's advice - that so-and-so's mother cooks very unpalatable food, so don't try it.
Nan Yi is the one who listens to advice. Since Ye Gan said so, he will certainly not get into trouble. The person busy in the kitchen is Mei Zhengyi. He flew here from Moscow first. A quarter of an hour ago, the people of the Holy Mother had already taken turns.
Dining. At this time, there was only one outsider besides myself.
Although the restaurant was small, it looked clean. Nan Yi said hello to his "mother" and sat down at a table that was close to the door but could not be directly seen from the door. He looked at the "outsider" for a few times and said, "You are a forty-year-old man."
The middle-aged man of next year, with a burly build, full beard, messy hair, dirty clothes, and bloodshot eyes, was devouring food like a starving ghost reincarnated.
The school beauty made eye contact with the Virgin, and after receiving the other's reply that everything was safe, she took Tianxian to the kitchen next door and quickly brought a few plates of food.
There is no need to expect too much from Mei Zhengyi's cooking skills. After the rice was served, Nan Yi invited the school beauties to sit down and started eating together. They just ate quietly and had no interest in communicating with "mother" or strangers.
.
Although Nan Yi left Moscow last year, he still knows the situation in Russia very well, including the current situation of the traitors in China.
As soon as the Russian economy was liberalized, there was an instant surge in the number of trespassers from the country. The weak feelings of compatriots that could be found in the past have now disappeared. The trespassers will often say "Chinese people will not cheat Chinese people", so that they can get whatever they need.
If you use theories to reason about what you like to emphasize and need to emphasize repeatedly with your mouth, you must be severely lacking.
In fact, this is also the case. It is already difficult to make friends with strangers in Russia. The Chinese people who appear in groups on the street are most likely to be related by blood, family or neighbors. Otherwise, they are in the country.
We are already friends, and we came to Russia together to make a living.
When Chinese people in Russia meet a stranger who strikes up a conversation with them, they will be very vigilant. Too many people have been fooled by their own people, and they are afraid because of word of mouth.
There are three types of passports that can be obtained from China to Russia, namely a public passport, a private passport, and a tourist passport. The public and private passports are very difficult to obtain. Not only are the procedures complicated and the fees are high, although they are valid within the visa period.
With the convenience of traveling to and from any place between China and Russia, ordinary Chinese businessmen will not apply for it, but apply for a tourist passport.
In fact, the so-called tourist passport does not involve sightseeing at tourist attractions, nor does it have a tour guide. When they arrive at the designated place, the "tourists" turn into birds and beasts. Most of them come here to do business in the name of tourism.
The maximum validity of a tourist passport is three months. You can only travel in the places specified on the visa. It is very inconvenient. There is also an even more embarrassing rule. You can only stay for a few months even if the visa says it is a few months.
, you cannot overstay your stay, and you cannot go back early.
In a foreign country, the easiest targets for people to prey on are compatriots. Regardless of stealing, robbing or cheating, people with the same skin color and speaking the same language are most likely to become fat sheep.
If you end up penniless in Russia, you may really starve to death here.
If Nan Yi, who was followed by a group of people, rashly found someone else,
When someone strikes up a conversation, it's easy to make someone's legs tremble, for fear of disaster. It's no fun to scare people, so why give them a nightmare.
Especially in the city of Ussuriysk, which was once troubled by the Far East Military Region last year, the market has just returned to normal this year, and soon a few waves of domestic heroes came. They took the banner of acting on behalf of heaven and held certificates of appointment from heaven.
, to collect a page-long tax for Heaven. The abbreviation of this tax is three characters - protection fee, which can also be called health fee, cleaning fee, and land fee.
This kind of tax does not distinguish between men, women, old or young, rich or poor. Everyone is equal and everyone must pay it. Of course, the Jade Emperor has no control over the people of Russia, so the Russians do not have to pay it.
To put it bluntly, the green forest heroes still only dare to stay in trouble when they go abroad.
After dinner, Nan Yi went downstairs to Nekrasova Street, which is the longest, widest and most prosperous street in Ussuriysk. Before walking far, he walked around nearby as a way to digest food after the meal.
Although it is the most prosperous street in the city, it is very quiet. There are not many vehicles passing by, and you can't hear the sound of honking horns. Passers-by walking together chat in whispers, and you can't hear any loud noises.
Nan Yi enjoys this tranquility very much. This time when he returns to Moscow, not only will there be bloodshed, but also the flash of swords and swords. It will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to enjoy the quiet moment again. This time, he will enjoy it greedily.
On the side of the road, I leaned against the wall, closed my eyes and took a nap. Ignoring time and space, and ignoring the strange looks of passers-by, I stayed for enough before going upstairs to wash up and sleep.
The next day, when we got together, the school beauty reported to Nan Yi that three strange men came last night and knocked on the two rooms on the left side of the ninth floor. They looked like they were here to collect health fees. There was something like this on the right side.
There were many people guarding me, so I didn't dare to come over.
After listening to this, Nan Yi sighed and said that his subjective motivation at work is so high that he really deserves an outstanding employee award.
After washing, exercising, and having breakfast, when the time came to nine o'clock, Nan Yi went out to the Huaguo Market in Ussuriysk. It is also the largest Huaguo Market in the Far East. It not only has daytime retail
The market, as well as the night wholesale market that starts at one o'clock in the morning, are usually called the white market and night market.
The night market in Ussuriysk is very famous. Not only vendors from Ussuriysk want to wholesale all kinds of Chinese goods here, but also vendors from Khabarovsk, Vladivostok and other places come here to wholesale.
Those who came to wholesale Chinese goods were not only Chinese traders, but also Russian traders and Vietnamese traders. Although merchants from various countries gathered in the entire Far East, the products sold were almost the same, all Chinese goods.
In fact, Ussuriysk is the distribution center for Chinese goods in the Far East.
The Huaguo Market was very large and chaotic. Our Lady led Nanyi around in the market, and after a long time they came to a small stall and stopped.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was busy in front of the stall. When he saw someone coming, he raised his head and was about to greet him. When he saw it was the Holy Mother, he shouted enthusiastically: "Ah, A Yuan, why are you here?"
Already?"
Our Lady is a Korean from Kazakhstan, with a surname of Yuan, and her grandmother is from Yanbian. When she was young, she went to Seoul with her parents to do business, and met her grandfather, who was engaged in intelligence work against Japan in Seoul. The two got married in Seoul, and returned with their son on the eve of the end of World War II.
Arrive in Kazakhstan.
My mother is from North Korea. She was sent to work in St. Petersburg in the 1960s. She met the Virgin Mary’s father and got married and had children. Therefore, the Virgin Mother is of mixed nationality, but she is of Korean descent. She is proficient in Yanbian Korean and North Korean.
Chinese, Korean, Kazakhstani Korean, Russian Korean, Russian, and Northeastern dialect which is not too authentic.
The middle-aged man speaks Mandarin, which is a bit stiff and mixed with a strong Northeastern accent. It is not difficult to tell from the accent that he is from the Northeast and is most likely Korean.
"Just arrived yesterday." Our Lady replied with a smile, and then asked, "How is it? Is business going well?"
"It's very good. The Chinese products you helped me find are very popular, and I can make a lot of money every day." The middle-aged man responded with the same smile, "Don't leave at noon, I'll treat you to dinner."
Nan Yi listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the products on the stall. Without exception, they all came from the channels of Haitang Trading. Speaking of which, the middle-aged man in front of him was
He is a distributor of Haitang Trading, and without listening to the accent and only looking at the products, Nan Yi can also tell that the middle-aged man is Korean, because the products on the stall are exclusively for Koreans, regardless of nationality.
No matter which country they belong to, Koreans are very domineering when doing business in Russia. Whether they were during the Soviet revisionist period or now when they belong to different former member countries, they are ethnic minorities and their lives are generally poorer than those of other ethnic groups.
.
When you are poor, you want to change. Other poor ethnic groups are thinking about running a legitimate business, but most of the Koreans in Russia engage in shady activities, and they are relatively powerful.
Because they belong to the same ethnic group, speak the same language with slightly different accents, and share common living habits, the Koreans in China quickly got in touch with the Koreans in Russia. They always ask the Koreans in Russia to help them with any big or small matters.
.
With a strong backer, the Korean people in China will naturally feel that they are thicker than other people and more aggressive in doing business. Even the heroes of the green forest do not dare to trouble them and will only stay away.
Korean business owners rarely encounter difficulties from others and can concentrate on their business. As long as they do not bully the market, end customers and lower-level wholesalers are more willing to patronize their stalls because they are less likely to encounter trouble.
Naturally, Haitang Trading will hand over some relatively high-profit commodities to them. Both parties will benefit from each other and both can earn huge profits.
After the Holy Mother finished chatting with the middle-aged man, she took Nan Yi to visit other stalls.
At a stall, Nan Yi saw Haitang brand canned fruit, but he looked carefully and found that the trademark paper was definitely not from Haitang Trading. He bought a can, opened it and took a look, and found that the quality of the fruit pulp inside was not good either. It was a counterfeit.
, not the A product from the cannery.
Handing the can to Our Lady, Nan Yi said: "Check the source of the goods. If it's in China, go through legal channels. If it's here, be simple and direct."
"good."
After continuing to wander for a while, I suddenly saw a commotion in front of me. When I got closer, I saw that a Chinese stall had been smashed by several Russians. Several of the down jackets sold were torn, and the down was scattered on the ground in handfuls.
Nan Yi picked up a handful and rubbed it in his hands. It was 100% chicken feathers. This business is so damn ugly. He deserves to be beaten to death. It’s light to smash a stall. Nan Yi just rose.
The brotherhood of compatriots was extinguished in an instant.
There are counterfeits in the front and defective products in the back. This is cutting off the livelihood of Chinese merchants traveling to Russia, and is also undermining the foundation of the Begonia trade. If the reputation of Chinese products is bad in Russia, it will be difficult to do business in the future.
Men will also face unpredictable dangers.
