Shaminov stuffed a telescope into Wan Feng's hand.
Wan Feng was a little confused. What were you giving me this for?
Is there a beautiful woman bathing in the river?
It’s true!
Shaminov is a piece of shit. You're giving me this when I have two wives around? Will you kill me if you give it to me when they're not here?!
Shaminov pointed to the other side of the Jingqili River and said, "Look at the top of the mountain!"
There is a solitary mountain on the other side of the Jingqili River, and on the mountain there is a villa hidden among the green trees.
Because it was far away, I couldn't see what the villa looked like.
Holy shit! Shaminov wanted him to see the villa, not the beauties.
Wan Feng put the telescope to his eyes.
The mountain on the opposite bank is about one hundred meters above sea level. It is difficult to estimate its size, but it is about four or five miles from the front.
There is a white road that winds its way from a pier on the riverside to the mountain. The roofs of the villas on the mountain can only be vaguely seen, and they look very grand.
"That's one of my villas. I knew you couldn't hold your wedding in a church, so Li Mingze and I discussed it and decided to put it there. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course I went to see it."
So, Shaminov took Wan Feng from the pier in front of the villa to the pier on the other side by speedboat. After getting off the boat, they took the Volga to the villa on the top of the mountain.
This is a three-story villa, a typical Russian building, occupying half of the mountain top.
The villa is surrounded by birch forests, the environment is very quiet, and there are wild flowers in the woods that are fragrant.
Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan fell in love with this place almost at the same time.
"It's good here, it's good here."
"This is it."
The two women made the final decision and decided to hold the wedding here.
Now that we have a location, the next step is to choose a date.
Today is July 2nd. Wan Feng checked the almanac before coming here. July 4th to 6th in 1992 are all suitable days for weddings.
Then the wedding date will be chosen within these three days. Wan Feng needs to discuss the specific date with Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan.
After looking outside the villa, the group went back into the house.
It was obvious that the room had been decorated, with a red carpet on the floor. It was obvious that the red carpet was brought from China.
Li Mingze deftly rolled up the red carpet on the ground.
What if so many people accidentally step on it?
Today is not the day to step on it.
A huge red double happiness character was hung on the wall. The double happiness character was written with gold powder and sparkled with golden light.
There is also a mahogany table against the wall under the word "囍". It is not made of mahogany, but a table that has been dyed red.
On the table were large red candles, a pair of toasting glasses—not pairs, but three—and candies in a plastic bag with a Chinese character for "happiness" (happiness) on it, silk flowers also with the Chinese character for "happiness" on them, and even red "double happiness" cigarettes.
This is where the ceremony takes place.
According to Chinese tradition, the bride and groom will be sent to the bridal chamber after the ceremony, so the next step is to visit the bridal chamber.
The bridal chamber is designed on the second floor.
"A red carpet will also be laid on the stairs on the wedding day," Li Mingze explained.
The new house is located on the second floor, facing south.
"We will put up wedding couplets here that day."
The house is a triple-roomed house, about 80 square meters. The innermost room, about 30 square meters, is the bridal chamber, with a large bed.
Everything on the bed has been arranged, including bedding and pillows, and they are now covered with red cloth. Someone will just have to make the bed when the wedding comes.
As a native of Chao County, Wan Feng is very satisfied to have achieved this.
"Li Mingze! Well done!"
The tumor on Li Mingze's face made a ding sound and flashed a silver light.
The fact that Alexei personally led his men to guard this place is enough to show how much importance Shaminov attaches to this place.
After the tour, everyone returned to Bu City and rested in a villa by the Jingqi River.
Wan Feng and Shaminov sat alone by the railing on the third floor of the villa, drinking tea and chatting facing the river.
After dealing with Wan Feng over the years, Shaminov also developed the habit of drinking Chinese tea.
Now, the Eagle Tea and Russian Tea he used to drink tasted like shit to him.
"Comrade Wan, you were right. The Soviet Union is gone, split into more than a dozen countries. The ruble has depreciated and society is in turmoil. I'm confused and don't know where our country should go."
"Even if the Soviet Union is gone, there are still Russian screws. It's your country's leaders who are worried about this, not you. During this period of turmoil, you should just sit back and do nothing. Even if someone messes with you, as long as you don't lose your life, you can even play the fool. By the way, have you exchanged all your rubles?"
"When I think of this, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. My men and I followed your instructions and exchanged everything for US dollars, British pounds and real estate. If we didn't, our assets would have shrunk by two-thirds."
Two-thirds? That’s still early. In two years, it won’t be two-thirds anymore. It will be one thousandth, or even one two thousandth.
"Don't touch your property. The ruble's depreciation is far from bottoming out. If you exchange it now, you'll be a pauper."
"Wan! How did you know?"
Wan Feng pointed at his head and said, "My head isn't just for eating and talking nonsense. I usually think about a lot of things. Everything in this world has its own laws of development. If you think about it more, you can figure it out."
Shaminov deeply agreed with Wan Feng's words.
"So do you think we Russians will return to the Soviet Union?"
Wan Feng shook his head: "That's impossible. Once a cup is broken, no matter how much you glue it together, it will never be able to be put back into one piece."
"Alas! What will our future be like?"
"It may take a few years of chaos, and then a strong president will emerge, and then you can stabilize. But that's just enough to survive. Forget about any higher goals."
Shaminov took a sip of tea. For some reason, today's tea seemed a little bitter.
"What's happening in the country isn't something a commoner like you can worry about. Your goal is to survive and make money. If that doesn't work out, you can always go to China in the future. Since you've helped China go abroad, it's not impossible for China to grant you a household registration."
"I will not leave my country," Shaminov said firmly.
There is a reason why Wan Feng sometimes calls him Shabilov.
"For the next two years, you'll have to recruit talent for me. I need all kinds of talent. Your experts will soon be begging on the streets anyway. It's better for them to work for me than to starve to death. I won't let you find them for nothing. I'll pay you 10,000 Chinese yuan for every expert or professor you find. I'll take whatever you find."
Last time Wan Feng used things to fool the Russians, this time he planned to use money.
Ten thousand Chinese yuan is now worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of rubles.
Spending ten thousand yuan to get a Soviet expert, isn't that like picking him up for free?
