The three of them discussed the time and place for the negotiations with the Ukrainian side, and rehearsed the possible situations they might encounter, and continued their discussion until about eleven o'clock.

"By the way, where are Utrolsky and Gokova now?"

"Of course they're still trying to do it."

Wan Feng frowned and thought for a while: "Contact them and ask them to come over alone. There are some things I need to understand."

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."

It won't take much time on Wukolan's side. The real delay is Dr. Prussian Strait. Although everything is written very clearly in the information, Wan Feng feels it is safer to ask in person.

Li Mingze left overnight in a special car. He would discuss the negotiation time with Fang tomorrow.

After Li Mingze left, Wan Feng and Xu Pin did not seem to be sleepy, and they chatted enthusiastically for a while.

Wan Feng's previous knowledge of Xu Pin was limited to the Internet. After chatting with Xu Pin, he realized that many reports on the Internet were not true.

Just like Wan Feng saw on the Internet that Xu Pin was from the art troupe, but in fact he was from the sports team.

Xu Pin served in the navy and even participated in the Battle of the Paracel Islands. He was later transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region basketball team.

"Brother Xu! Did you really participate in a naval battle?"

"You don't believe it? I'm not sure if this is true. When I participated in the naval battle, I thought that if we had an aircraft carrier, those scoundrels would not dare to make trouble."

This is true. If China had an aircraft carrier fleet, those small islands in the South China Sea would not be occupied by so many people.

It turns out that this guy was thinking about aircraft carriers when he participated in the naval battle. No wonder he was dealing with aircraft carriers.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​buying this aircraft carrier?"

Xu Pin did not directly answer Wan Feng's question, but instead asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​buying an aircraft carrier?"

Wan Feng smiled. "As for me, I've tinkered with a lot of things. I've even tinkered with tanks and airplane engines. An aircraft carrier wouldn't be surprising, right?"

"Haha, not surprising, not surprising. How can I put it? I'm dealing with this. I guess I was entrusted with this."

Wan Feng understood that Xu Pin was not in a position to talk about it, so he did not ask any further questions.

After chatting with Xu Pin for more than an hour, Wan Feng returned to his room.

There were four people living in his room, including him, Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and He Youliang.

Han Guangjia and He Youliang had already fallen asleep, while Yang Jianguo was sitting at the head of the bed smoking.

Wan Feng knew Yang Jianguo's mood. Before leaving for Wukelan, his wife was diagnosed with a serious illness, and whether it could be cured was uncertain.

The disease was discovered on the 26th.

At that time, Wan Feng asked Yang Jianguo to stay at home, but he refused to agree and followed him resolutely.

They are almost at loggerheads.

Wan Feng knew that he was not following for money or anything, he had to follow because he was worried about his own safety.

Since 1994, Yang Jianguo and the other two have been following Wan Feng. Except for a period of time when they stayed in Linji after breaking up with Heihe, they have been with Wan Feng almost all the time.

This brotherhood has been going on for eleven years.

"Brother Yang! Don't worry, sister-in-law is a lucky person, she will definitely get better."

Wan Feng knew that he himself would not believe what he said. Yang Jianguo's wife had always been in poor health and had been sick all the time when she was young. This time her illness was really not a good one.

If something happened this time and Yang Jianguo didn't even see his wife for the last time, Wan Feng would always feel guilty.

"Brother! Thank you."

Wan Feng sighed and said nothing more. He turned and walked to the window.

The room they stayed in was on the fourth floor of the hotel, and they had a view of the distant street scene.

Unfortunately, it was pitch black outside, with only a few lights on listlessly.

You can tell whether a city is developed or not by just looking at its lights at night.

As the capital of Wukolan, the current dark scene is not as good as the bright lights of Jiangwei.

The lighting for residents in Jiangwei is provided by a hydropower station built on the Inna River, which was expanded again later. This ensures that the electricity supply for households in the entire Jiangwei is guaranteed, and there are almost no power outages.

This makes the street lights on several main roads in Jiangwei shine all night long.

This indirectly reflects the current recession in Ukolan.

Perhaps due to fatigue from the journey, Wan Feng slept until noon the next day.

He had never slept until noon the next day in his memory.

After eating the unpalatable lunch at Wukolan, I walked around the hotel in the afternoon.

Soldier Li Mingze never returned home and no news came back for two days.

It wasn't until the third day that this guy finally showed up.

The negotiation date was set for September 4th, and the venue was in the reception hall of the Ministry of Commerce in Ukrainian.

At 8 a.m. on September 4, Wan Feng and Xu Pin arrived at the reception hall of the Ukrainian Ministry of Commerce and began negotiations with Asnaev, the Ukrainian representative in charge of the matter.

Asnaev is a little bald, and Wan Feng always feels that he looks a bit like a leader of the former Soviet Politburo.

Asnaev expressed surprise that Wan Feng could speak fluent Russian.

"Mr. Fangshan, I didn't expect you to speak Russian so fluently."

Fangshan is the current name of Wanfeng.

"Mr. Asnaev, to be honest, when China and the former Soviet Union opened border trade a few years ago, I was involved in border trade with the Soviet Union for three or four years. I also went to your country, Ukrainian, to do business. So I can speak Russian, but only verbally. If you asked me to write, I wouldn't be able to write a single letter."

Wan Feng started talking nonsense. Anyway, the other party didn't know whether he had been to Wukolan or not.

"So that's what's going on, Mr. Fangshan! I'd like to know what business you're doing in China?"

"Mr. Asnayev, have you ever been to China?"

Asnaev shook his head.

"So, I heard there's no such thing as this city?"

"I've heard of this. It's the Las Vegas of the East."

"Mr. Wu and I are in the entertainment business in Macau. So-called entertainment business is actually just running a casino."

Asnaev nodded in understanding and then asked, "Since you are the buyer of this aircraft carrier, I would like to know what your purpose is in buying it?"

"Mr. Asnaev! I just told you that we're in the casino business. If we take this aircraft carrier back and turn it into a casino, will all the casino business in Macau be ours?"

Asnaev rested his chin on his hand and thought for a few seconds, then smiled in relief. "That's a really good idea. Buying an aircraft carrier and building a casino seems like a much higher investment than building a building."

"We calculated before coming here that the cost of buying an aircraft carrier and renovating it is actually about the same as building a building. But that's not the main issue. It has little to do with money. People love novelty, and we want this gimmick. When gamblers see the casino converted from an aircraft carrier, I think they will know which door to go to."

If an aircraft carrier were really used to transform a casino, business might actually be booming.
