Shaminov didn't care about national borders. He ran over and gave Wan Feng a polar bear hug.
"Wan! So glad to see you."
"Damn it! Put me down!" Maozi is indeed big and strong.
Shaminov held Wan Feng and turned around twice before putting him down.
"Wan! It's you who's been driving around on the river these past two days! What are you doing driving your trucks around on the ice?"
The northern Chinese dialect that Shaminov had learned before came in handy again.
"Test driving! My company has built several models of cars and is currently conducting tests in snowy environments. We're here in Heihe now, and we'll be heading to Mohe in a few days."
“Is this the car your company built?”
Shaminov walked around all the cars built by Wan Feng. It was obvious that he had no interest in trucks, but he was interested in pickup trucks and motorcycles.
There were all kinds of big, black and rough trucks in the Soviet Union. Even if Wan Feng's trucks were ten times better looking than their Soviet trucks, Shaminov would not be interested.
But cars and motorcycles were not very common in the Soviet Union.
In particular, Soviet motorcycles are still at the level of China's Xingfu 250.
Shaminov walked around the motorcycle twice and said, "This motorcycle is nice. How about selling one to me?"
"Haha! Not now. I'll sell it to you after I've finished the tests and it's completely qualified."
"How about I become your agent for this motorcycle in the Soviet Union in the future?"
"No problem!"
"It's a deal, then, in the future the Soviet Union..."
"Without the Soviet Union, you will be called Russian screws in two years."
Shaminov was stunned: "Ah! The Soviet Union is gone? This is impossible!"
"Haha! What's impossible? What's the full name of your Soviet Union?"
"The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!"
"Lithuania, part of the Union of Republics, has already broken away and gained independence. Next year, more republics will become independent. If there are no republics left, what's the point of a union? If everyone goes back to their own homes and calls each other their own mothers, will the Soviet Union still exist?"
Shaminov began to scratch his head: "It seems so."
"So, from now on, you'll be called by your original name, Russian Screws! Oh, and by the way, did you exchange all your rubles for Western currencies or gold?"
If Shaminov does not change, and the ruble depreciates sharply, Shaminov's work in the past few years will be in vain, and he will become a pauper with nothing.
"I exchanged some of my money for US dollars, some marks and some pounds, and also bought some gold."
"Why are you still paying for some of it? Go back and exchange it quickly. Tell your men to immediately exchange all the rubles they have for Western currencies or gold. If you don't have time, you can exchange them for daily necessities."
Logically speaking, the Soviet ruble has started to depreciate by now. If you don’t change it before it plummets, you’ll be doomed!
"Ten thousand! Do you mean the ruble will be worthless?"
"Think about it! The Soviet Union has collapsed, and society is bound to be in turmoil. Social unrest and soaring prices are twin brothers. If something that's worth ten rubles now rises to a hundred or even more, what's the difference between the rubles in your hand and waste paper?"
Wan Feng's explanation made so much sense that Shaminov decided to go back and exchange all the remaining rubles he had.
"Wan! You said the border crossing between China and the Soviet Union... Russia would reopen around 1992. If the Soviet Union truly disintegrated, would this border crossing still be open?"
Then if the port doesn’t open, what’s the point of him being the agent for Wanfeng’s motorcycles in the future?
"Of course it will be opened. If it's not, you Russians will be short of a lot of daily necessities. Although you won't starve to death, your lives will be difficult. The only thing that can alleviate your pressure at this time is China's ports. You will not only develop the ports but also expand the trade projects."
This was probably the best news Shaminov had heard today.
Wan Feng and Shaminov sat on the ice of Longjiang River and talked for a long time.
Wan Feng was mainly interested in understanding the domestic situation in the Soviet Union, and Shaminov told him everything he knew without reservation, without hiding anything.
In his previous life, everything Wan Feng knew about the collapse of the Soviet Union was seen on the Internet. Now that someone is telling the story, its authority is naturally greatly enhanced.
On this side, Wan Feng and Shaminov were sitting on the ice and chatting intimately, while on the other side, Han Guangjia and Alexei were also drinking and chatting happily over a bottle of white wine.
Han Guangjia and Alexei were old friends getting together, and they chatted about all sorts of things.
The four of them kept talking on the ice until someone came from the Chinese border station. Only then did Shaminov say goodbye to Wan Feng and return to Blagoveshchensk.
Meeting with Shaminov made Wan Feng feel happy, and meeting with Qu Yang made him happy.
Qu Yang's wife was even happier when she saw Wan Feng, because although Wan Feng seemed to come empty-handed, the gifts he gave her were real gold and silver.
Qu Yang has already reached a very high position in the Heihe officialdom.
Wan Feng was not very familiar with the officialdom. He only knew that the secretary, mayor, and county magistrate were the top and second-in-command in a city, and he couldn't tell the difference between them.
Qu Yang is currently ranked around seventh or eighth in Heihe City, but Wan Feng is not sure exactly how big he is.
It doesn't matter if he can't tell how high his official rank is, as long as he can get him some high-grade diesel.
It was not difficult for Qu Yang to get some diesel. After solving the diesel problem, he took Wan Feng to meet Zheng Chaoyang again.
Zheng Chaoyang is still the head of the Heihe Public Security System. In Heihe, apart from senior city officials and the mayor, he is probably the most powerful person.
With the support of Qu Yang and Zheng Chaoyang on the white side and the protection of Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao on the black side, Wan Feng's test drive in Heihe went smoothly.
No one ever comes to cause trouble or anything.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
On December 13, Wan Feng took Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and Han Meng to Wu County.
Zhang Xuan is going back on the 15th, so Wan Feng will naturally go there.
If he doesn't go, Zhang Xuan will definitely run to Heihe to find him.
Women are very scary when they go crazy.
Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and Han Meng did not follow Wan Feng to Zhang Xuan's house, but found a hotel in Xingbei to stay.
They don't want to be a light bulb.
Among them, Yang Jianguo and Han Meng will accompany Zhang Xuan and her sister back to Jiangwei on the 15th. Wan Feng is worried about letting these two women go back alone without anyone to protect them. What if they are abducted on the way?
This time Zhang Zhiyuan's family is reunited.
After Zhang Juan transferred the garment factory's machines and various stored fabrics to He Yanfei at a cost of 350,000 yuan, she returned home and wholeheartedly wanted to follow her sister to Jiangwei.
This girl is going to Jiangwei, and Wan Feng must remind her to be careful with what she says after arriving in Jiangwei, and never say anything that shouldn't be said.
It is not clear whether Zhang Juan can do it, but she agreed quite readily.
Just because she agreed so readily, Wan Feng felt that something bad was going to happen, so he specifically instructed Zhang Xuan to keep a good eye on this troublesome girl.
