Chapter 1019: The brain is really stubborn

This guy has no leather boots, but others might have them. Wan Feng led his men forward. When he saw a Russian with a backpack, he pointed at the riding boots on his feet and asked if the other party had them.

Some Russians didn't bring this thing, but there were still quite a few who brought riding boots to trade. In a short while, Wan Feng met several of them.

The second person to complete the riding boot transaction was a Russian young man. He did not take the shoes from anyone's feet, but instead exchanged a pair of riding boots for two bars of Lux soap.

Of course, this pair of big boots was worn on Li Mingdou's feet. Li Mingdou put on the boots and walked a few steps with a click, looking quite majestic.

However, what this guy did next made Wan Feng speechless. He wanted to put his pair of cotton boots in the bag and take them back, but Wan Feng quickly stretched out his leg and kicked him into a corner.

I already have big leather boots, but I still want a pair of worn-out boots.

Next, Wan Feng used a bottle of facial cleanser, two pairs of socks and three large pieces of bubble gum to exchange for a pair of riding boots for Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and He Xiao respectively, and also exchanged a towel for a military telescope.

When some Russians saw that Wan Feng's goods cost more, they surrounded him with seven or eight people, clamoring to do business with Wan Feng.

Just when Wan Feng was about to buy a pair of big leather boots for Han Meng and Zhao Gang, two Russian youths appeared in front of Wan Feng.

The Russians surrounding Wan Feng were yelled at by the two guys and ran away like mice seeing a cat.

Based on Wan Feng's social experience, he could tell at first glance that these two people were not good people. From their malicious eyes, he could tell that these two guys might be gangsters.

Ever since Golbachev came to power last year and implemented his economic policies this spring, the ethnic conflicts that had been suppressed under high pressure in the Soviet Union suddenly became active and showed signs of intensifying.

Especially among the three Baltic countries, Azerbaijan and Armenia, the contradictions are more acute and there is a tendency towards armed conflict.

Under this general trend, the underworld that was previously hidden underground has also become rampant.

The Far East is far away from Europe and the underworld activities here are no weaker than those in the European part of the Soviet Union.

There are more than a dozen gangs of all sizes in the city of Blagoveshchensk.

The two guys Wan Feng was facing were most likely members of a gang in Blagoveshchensk.

"Bubblegum! We need to change bubblegum."

The two Russian men shouted without blushing at all, "How dare you say that a grown man is chewing bubble gum!"

So far in this market, Wan Feng is probably the only Chinese who appears with bubble gum.

Wan Feng was seen by these two guys when he was exchanging bubble gum for big leather boots.

"What do you want to exchange for?" Although exchanging these gadgets was not Wan Feng's original intention, since someone offered to exchange them, he might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

The shorter of the two Russians threw the backpack on his shoulders to the ground, and a rustling sound came from the backpack.

The short Mao guy quickly opened his backpack, revealing the thing inside.

There were several pairs of binoculars, a dozen daggers, a few cigarettes, wide military belts, and even a pistol and some scattered bullets.

Wan Feng was shocked. "Holy crap! This guy is selling arms! And he's selling them here!"

Moreover, the short Russian guy just threw his satchel to the ground with a loud noise. If the sound of the pier made a noise, it would be a complete mess in the greenhouse.

It can be seen that these Russians' brains are really not very useful. They may have been damaged by the cold temperature.

How did these two guys get these things in?

The two sides are currently negotiating only a few dozen transaction projects, most of which are in the agricultural, industrial and light textile sectors.

Wan Feng was sure that the pistols, bullets and daggers here were not within the scope of the transaction.

However, these two guys were brought into the hall openly on the first day of the trial transaction, which shows how confusing the security check on the Russian side is.

The two guys' stuff didn't have what Wan Feng needed. He already had the telescope, and the one-and-a-half-inch wide leather belt looked sturdy, but it was too ugly. Besides, no one except the military wore a belt outside their clothes these days, so it was worthless.

Even if he replaced the pistol and bullets, he still couldn't pass the test. What about cigarettes?

Foreigners' cigarettes are all mixed garbage cigarettes, and the Russians' big white cigarettes are extremely difficult to smoke, so he doesn't want them.

Wan Feng shook his head: "You don't have the products I need, I don't need these!"

Unexpectedly, the tall guy glared at me, talked a lot, and puffed out his cheeks and made a blowing gesture, which meant that they had to change, and they would change to bubble gum.

This is even more exciting than bubble gum.

Wan Feng couldn't understand why the Russians liked bubble gum so much. It was just a kid blowing it, so what? But a grown man blowing bubble gum? Are we still a fighting nation?

Wan Feng didn't plan to pay any more attention to the two Russians. The goods they brought were indeed not what he needed. He turned around and prepared to move forward. How dare they force him to buy or sell in this trading hall?

The Russians often do things without thinking. Saying that the Russians are stubborn is not meant to belittle them at all. They are indeed stubborn.

When Wan Feng was about to leave, the tall Russian young man grabbed the front of Wan Feng's shirt and stared at him fiercely, as if he was going to rob him.

Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo moved almost at the same time and were about to fight, but Wan Feng raised his hand in time to stop them.

We can't take action here, otherwise it will just be chaos.

According to the Russians' habit of talking about reason after fighting, if one person takes action, it may cause a big fight between the two sides, and both sides will definitely fight to the point of not recognizing each other.

Wan Feng didn't mind a big fight with the other party. It seemed that he hadn't fought with anyone for a long time.

But the occasion is not right. This is not the place to fight.

If a fight breaks out here, fighting is a small matter, but the impact may cause the trading that has been running for a day to be stopped, which is not what he wants to see.

He still has goods worth two or three hundred thousand that he hasn't exchanged. If this stops, where will he go to deal with those goods?

Helpless, Wan Feng grabbed four pieces of bubble gum and threw them to Maozi, then bent down and picked up a telescope and threw it to Han Guangjia.

What's the use of having too much of this thing? Should I exchange it and sell it?

Isn't this just because you're bored?

Maozi forced two boxes of cigarettes on Wan Feng and asked for two pieces of bubble gum, and then he left happily.

What kind of person is this!

Wan Feng walked around the trading hall but didn't see the goods he wanted. Neither steel, fertilizer nor machinery could be found here.

It seems that the only way to complete such a transaction is to set foot on the other party's territory.

The safety factor is lower when going to the other party's territory, so a detailed plan is needed to ensure that there are no mistakes.
