Inside, there were various odds and ends on the floor, and next to it was a 1.2-meter bed, which looked like where the stall owner slept.
"Gentlemen, I'm processing entry and exit visas here. How many of you need them, and how long will it take?"
After hearing this, Chen Dong thought for a moment and then said.
"Thirty people, the longer they can stay there, the better."
Thirty people?
The boss asked in surprise.
"Aren't there only three of you? You need to provide documents and photos to get the certificates. Aren't they coming?"
"Boss, you're in charge of how many of us there are. The more people there are, the more money you can make."
The boss was speechless, and gave a wry smile.
"Young man, things aren't as simple as you think. The more visas you apply for at once, the greater the risk."
"Also, if you want to stay there long-term, there are ways. I have connections at Russian universities and can help you get study abroad spots."
"It's just... a little pricey, but it'll make things much easier for you, right?"
"How much?"
Chen Dong knew that his boss was right; a study abroad certificate was indeed the best option for traveling to and from Russia.
Otherwise, Chen Dong wouldn't have spent so much money to ask Marina to help him get his study abroad certificate back in Dongning.
"One thousand yuan per person!"
"How much? You just said a thousand yuan per person, why don't you just rob someone?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Hu was instantly enraged, and the word "profiteer" immediately popped into his mind.
Lin Zhiming once said that Marina helped him obtain his study abroad certificate using only 1,000 kilograms of flour.
How much does a 100-jin (50 kg) package of flour cost? Less than 20 yuan!
A thousand kilograms of flour would cost less than 200 yuan.
Chen Dong gave Marina 2,000 yuan to help her get her study abroad certificate, and a large part of that was out of personal favor.
In fact, a student ID card costs less than 200 yuan.
However, the boss in front of me said that 1,000 yuan per person could buy 5,000 kilograms of flour.
It's black, not just any kind of black!
Chen Dong didn't care about the price.
Since the big expense has already been spent, why bother getting bogged down in minor issues?
What he really cares about is the time it takes to get the certificate.
Just as Ah Hu was about to say something, Chen Dong waved his hand, interrupting him.
"How long will it take? How long will it take to get our documents back to us?"
"It will take at least a week!"
"In addition, you need to process certificates for thirty people, and I need some money to smooth things over with the school, so you need to pay half of the deposit first."
"After everything is done, you pay the remaining amount, and then I'll hand over the documents to you. Just to clarify beforehand... this deposit is non-refundable, regardless of whether you want it or not!"
"Can!"
Chen Dong readily agreed.
Any problem that can be solved with money isn't really a problem.
It's already quite difficult to get a student visa these days, even if you have to pay money.
In a few months, the situation there will become chaotic, and there will be more speculators, making the student visa route no longer viable.
Tourist visas can still be obtained, but the permitted stay is short, and due to the chaotic situation, some places may even have regional restrictions.
Later, the polar bear inherited the mess left by Russia. In terms of military strength, it was not weakened much, but its domestic economy had become riddled with problems.
With commodity prices remaining high and the currency depreciating wildly, inflation has reached an appalling level, leaving many Russians unable to afford even food.
It was during this period that business visas were introduced in order to alleviate domestic pressure.
"Wolong, give him the deposit!"
"Yes, boss!"
The seal engraver couldn't take his eyes off the thick stack of four great figures in his hand.
In front of Chen Dong and the others, he spat on his hand, grinned as he counted the money, and praised it.
"The boss is straightforward, unlike you, brother, who's all shy and hesitant, not manly at all."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Believe me or not, I'll slap you!"
Ah Hu was already a big, burly man, and when he roared like that, he really startled the seal-carving shop owner.
"Ah Hu!"
Chen Dong stopped Ah Hu from doing anything further with a look and said to the seal-carving shop owner.
“My brother is right, the price you asked for is indeed a bit high. Even if you halve the price by 1,000 yuan, you will still make a profit.”
"I'm not saying it out loud because I'm stupid, I just don't want to argue with you about these things. I hope you understand that, boss!"
"Cough cough..."
The seal engraver coughed and smiled apologetically.
"That's right, that's right. That's why I say you're a magnanimous person, boss. You're the kind of person who's really going to do great things."
"Alright, stop flattering me."
Chen Dong gave an awkward smile and then asked.
"Boss, do you know of any factories or warehouses available for rent nearby?"
"Don't worry, the price we just agreed on remains unchanged. In addition, I will pay you a consultation fee."
Upon hearing this, the seal engraver beamed with joy and immediately agreed.
Seal carving is a deceptive practice, designed for laymen who don't know the business, and only makes a small amount of money.
The real way to make money is to help people get their documents processed, and on the side, do some intermediary business.
Then.
Under the guidance of the seal-making boss, Chen Dong rented a warehouse with a yard, and the contract was signed for two years.
While these can still be found now, it's likely that in six months, finding a warehouse with a yard like these in the vicinity will be virtually impossible.
