A few days later, Wan Feng and his colleagues' business visas were processed.
With the visa issue resolved, Wan Feng began to prepare for Gongqingcheng.
The Chinese currency would definitely not be very useful in the Soviet Union, so Wan Feng asked Qu Yang to exchange it for three thousand US dollars.
Foreign exchange was in absolute short supply in China at that time, and it was extremely difficult for Qu Yang to exchange these US dollars for Wan Feng.
Add to that the 100,000 rubles Shamilov prepared for him, and this money should be enough to deal with the little devil.
Although Wan Feng had never been to the Soviet Union, he had heard about the experiences of many people who started businesses in Russia in his previous life.
The Russian police and gangsters are not easy to deal with, but these are not the most terrifying things. At most, they blackmail you openly, and their demands are not high.
The most difficult ones to deal with are actually the Chinese who are involved in the Russian underworld.
There weren't many Chinese people like this in 1987, but there must have been some.
During the period when the two countries were at odds with each other, many extremely heinous criminals here secretly fled to the Soviet Union.
If such people are discovered, the two sides will meet on the Longjiang River and repatriate them.
However, less than one in ten people were repatriated. Even though the ports between the two sides had just been opened, there were still a large number of such people there.
These people would blackmail Chinese people to death if they met them.
The money and visa issues have been resolved, but Wan Feng still needs to think about what else to bring with him.
In the end, I still think wine is the most representative.
Wan Feng also asked Shamilov to prepare a batch of flat wine jugs that could hold two taels of wine in the Soviet Union.
There are no such small wine jugs in China.
This small wine pot is very similar to the small iron box that many people in China use to store dry tobacco. It is flat, five or six centimeters wide and eight or nine centimeters high.
Wan Feng used such small wine jugs to fill fifty jugs of 65-proof white wine, which he intended to keep as samples for the Soviets he would trade with in the future.
Wan Feng believed that as long as he could make the people in Gongqingcheng believe that he had a large amount of liquor, the difficulty of any transaction would be reduced.
Things at the base are under the care of Yang Jianguo and Zhao Gang along with Li Yong, He Xiao and others, so Shang Wanfeng doesn't have to worry about safety.
The business is managed by Zhang Shiqian, and as long as he doesn't play any tricks, nothing will go wrong.
After all these arrangements were completed, on May 16th, Wan Feng and his group of five passed the customs and arrived in Bu City.
After the original gang disappeared, Bu City is now almost entirely under the control of Shamilov.
This guy has a good relationship with the police and Amon (armed special police) in Bu City. It can be said that he is an important figure in both the black and white worlds in Bu City.
Shamilov's base is no longer the abandoned timber processing plant, but has been moved to the former Bear Gang's territory in the southwest.
This is the most prosperous area in Bu City.
"Shabilov..."
"Wan! Is Shabilov an insult? I often hear people say 'Shabi Shabi' and other things over there."
Shamilov passed by and visited China, and now he can understand a lot of Chinese.
There’s something mysterious about language learning: no matter what language you learn, the first things you usually pick up are swear words.
Take Wan Feng as an example. When learning English, the teacher would definitely not teach swear words, and Wan Feng had forgotten those things they taught long ago. But words like "fuck" and "sh*t" are impossible to forget even if you want to.
The same goes for Shamilov. The first Chinese word he learned was "fuck", then "alla mud horse", and now he knows what "shabi" means.
"Haha, Shabilov, this is not an insult. If I say Shabi to you alone, it means insult, but if I add Love at the end, it means something different. It's a respectful title!"
Wan Feng was lying in a serious tone, it seemed that the days of being called Shabilov would not last long.
Shamilov was skeptical: "Really? But I still feel bad. It's better to call me Shamilov from now on."
“Isn’t this different?”
Shamilov shook his head like a rattle: "It's different."
It's over, the title of Shabilov can only become a beautiful memory.
"Whether it's Shabilov or Shamilov, it's just a name. Shamilov! Do you have any suggestions for my business trip to Komsomolsk-on-Amur?"
"Wan, if your deal goes through, will you still use the Blagoveshchensk port?"
Wan Feng looked at Shamilov in surprise. This guy actually thought of this!
"What do you want to say, Shamilov?"
"Wan, if you're still going through the Blagoveshchensk port, I'll send some people with you this time to try to establish contact with the locals in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Once you've negotiated the deal, we'll handle the shipping from the Soviet side, saving you a lot of trouble."
This is a very good idea. In fact, Wan Feng had also considered the problem of cargo transportation from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to Blagoveshchensk. Before he could figure out how to solve it, Shamilov thought of it for him.
In this case, how about letting Shamilov go to Komsomolsk-on-Amur to develop the market instead of going yourself?
This way you can save yourself countless troubles and unknown risks.
But after thinking about it, Wan Feng rejected this idea.
The people Shamilov sent to contact him could only contact some of the items he had instructed, and he was guaranteed not to pay attention to other things, as they might miss some important items.
Although he said that he would not deal in other things, he was still willing to take the risk if he had the chance. Shamilov would not do such a thing.
Besides, Wan Feng also saw the Maozi's work efficiency. Things that could be completed in one day took them three days, and might not even be completed.
This is how foreigners do things.
Although the Soviets' efficiency was quite good among foreigners, it was still uncertain.
For example, more than ten days later, the young man from West Germany took off from Helsinki in a propeller plane, flew over 800 kilometers of Soviet airspace and finally landed in Red Square, without encountering any obstructions along the way.
This airspace is known as the safest because it borders the West.
The Soviets had over a thousand interceptors, seven thousand radars, and ten thousand air-to-air missiles in the area.
Under such circumstances, this second-rate young man flew his plane to Moscow in a swaggering manner, circled over the Red Square several times, and finally landed in front of a church.
He was still signing autographs and giving speeches to people who looked like they were watching a monkey show in Red Square, and it wasn't until two hours later that Soviet police showed up and took him away.
If this was an armed plane attacking Moscow, the Kremlin would probably be flattened.
This incident caused an uproar in the world.
When an empire is about to collapse, strange things always happen. This also reflects from one side that the Soviet Union was really about to fail at that time.
With the Soviets' way of doing things, Wan Feng had no confidence in their ability to do things.
