Chapter 1766 Your statement is not accurate

Gregory was a little confused about Xiao Peng and Kashin. Although they were friends, it was obvious that Kashin was Xiao Peng's subordinate. Xiao Peng didn't sound like someone who would act without measure, and he knew the importance of the Northeast Passage to Russia. So how could he do such a thoughtless thing?

Just now, after they finished eating, Xiao Peng and Jin Wuzhi hadn't woken up yet. And what about Xiao Peng? He just stepped over Jin Zhiwu and left as if nothing had happened.

Were they confident or just stupid? Gregory couldn't figure out the answer.

But now is not the time for him to think too much, he is negotiating with the security here: the security guard actually said that today's ticket price will be increased to 100,000 rubles!

My goodness, 100,000 rubles is probably enough to buy several "brides" in normal times! Why are they still asking such a high price?

As a result, the security guard told him that today's event was "big in scale" and "had good stuff", so the tickets were more expensive!

Is this more expensive? Is this double the price?

Of course, Xiao Peng and the others didn't care about the money. Ka Xin paid directly and the three of them entered the fortifications. When they entered, the security personnel used metal detectors to check if they were carrying guns or communication devices. After entering, they were led by a waitress who walked a long distance and took them to a room.

After entering the room, one can only see a floor-to-ceiling glass, in front of which is a coffee table and a long sofa, which faces the glass. Outside the glass is darkness.

Is this sitting on the sofa looking through the glass?

The waiter guided them to sit down and handed them the drink menu.

Xiao Peng couldn't help but want to complain again: "Fuck, eating and drinking here are charged extra? And the prices are so expensive!"

This is definitely not a place that ordinary people in Vorkuta can afford.

The most blackly humorous thing in reality is that the poorer the place, the more wealthy people there are, and the poorer the place, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor.

Xiao Peng ordered a bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne and two bottles of Golden Tsar vodka. Three bottles cost Xiao Peng 500,000 rubles. That's a whopping price hike! If it weren't for the free snacks like caviar and pickles, Xiao Peng would have wanted to throw the bottle at the waiter's head.

He is not short of money, but the feeling of being ripped off and taken advantage of is indeed uncomfortable.

But he soon found out why the money was so expensive - when several women entered the room, Xiao Peng understood: Oh, so this is why it is so expensive!

However, Xiao Peng didn't find it a pleasant experience to have so many girls come into the room. Not to mention the pungent smell of cheap perfume on them, Xiao Peng actually felt distressed watching them sip their wine—so expensive! Kasin also seemed to be losing interest. His requirements were now higher, and these girls were clearly not what he wanted. He was waiting for the so-called 'bride market' to begin.

Gregory, on the other hand, was extremely excited. He hugged the two girls and touched them all over. It looked like he wanted to have a big fight with them right in the room.

Kasin looked at Gregory and asked, "When does this 'bride market' start? Is it like in Bulgaria, where men and women get together to socialize? When can we meet girls here?"

Gregory smiled bitterly and said, "Kasim, I'm not lying to you. This is my first time here too, and everything I see is new to me."

The girl next to him laughed and said, "This is your first time here, right? Don't worry. The Bridal Market will start soon." She pointed to the large floor-to-ceiling windows and said, "Our Bridal Market is an auction. The stage is right outside the window. You'll be able to see it clearly when the lights turn on. If a girl appears that catches your eye, you can press the button next to the sofa to bid."

Xiao Peng frowned slightly after hearing this. Isn't this just human trafficking?

"Isn't this the place where the Nenets people find wives?" Xiao Peng asked a girl next to him.

The girl replied: "Yes, the majority of customers here are from the Nenets."

Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "As far as I know, many Nenets people don't have money, right? How can they buy tickets and increase the price?"

The girl laughed and said, "They don't have money, but they have animal furs, deer antlers, mammoth tusks and other things. They can use those to raise the price."

"Oh." Xiao Peng suddenly realized.

"Why, sir," the girl asked, "are you going to buy some wives?"

After she asked this question, all the girls in the room looked at Xiao Peng.

What do they do? They rely on men for their livelihoods. They've seen all kinds of men. They can tell at a glance whether a man is truly rich or just pretending.

It is said that rich men have two major hobbies: dragging decent women into trouble and persuading prostitutes to become good women.

If ordinary men try to do this, they will find that it is a very difficult thing to do: basically not many ordinary men can do the job of "persuading J women to become good women"?

Do you really think that those rich men have the ability to make those prostitutes fall in love with them and become good women?

Don't be silly!

The fundamental reason why rich men can persuade those J women to become good women is often that those J women want to leave a good impression on those rich men and then make more money from them!

The rich man gained a sense of accomplishment and the woman J earned some money, a win-win situation!

Anyway, these prostitutes have sharp eyes when it comes to men. They can tell at a glance that Xiao Peng in the house is rich. If Xiao Peng buys a "bride", doesn't it mean that their chances of making money from Xiao Peng will be reduced?

Before Xiao Peng could answer the question, Ka Xin spoke first: "Why are you so concerned about my brother buying a wife? Are you jealous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent, and everyone looked at him. Finally, Gregory asked the question that every girl in the room wanted to ask: "Kasim, what does jealousy mean?"

Kashin finally came to his senses. There was no word for 'jealous' in Russia, so he explained, "It means 'envy'."

Gregory continued, "But I don't understand, what does 'jealousy' have to do with jealousy?"

Kasin explained, "During the Tang Dynasty of Daxia, there was a prime minister named Fang Xuanling. He was notoriously henpecked. He wanted to take a concubine, but his wife wouldn't let him. The emperor gifted him two beautiful women, but his wife wouldn't let either of them enter the house. Finally, the emperor got angry and gave Fang Xuanling's wife a choice: either you let Fang Xuanling take a concubine, or you drink the poison I've prepared for you. Fang Xuanling's wife drank the poison without hesitation, preferring death to letting Fang Xuanling take a concubine. However, the emperor didn't give her poison, but vinegar. So later in Daxia, the word 'jealous' came to describe a woman's jealousy."

After hearing his explanation, the girls at the scene applauded and said that Kasim was knowledgeable.

Kasim was feeling quite proud, but when he turned around he found Xiao Peng looking at him with a strange expression.

"Uh...did I say something wrong?" Kasim asked.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking academically, your statement is actually not accurate."
