As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. With these two people taking the lead, the two people from Sanjiang Farm were very willing to pay.
The three of them continued their efforts and came to Jiangwan again.
The man in Jiangwan is now a fisherman. Wan Feng and his friends waited at the riverside until he came ashore.
When the fisherman saw that the four people in front of him had given money, he also gave money without hesitation.
Now there are only two ruffians left in Chengshan Commune.
One of these two guys, nicknamed Grasshopper, is still the one who has the final say in Chengshan.
But this guy is not in Chengshan. His family said that Guagua is now in Fuyuan County and only comes back a few times a year.
This guy is lucky.
Another person from Chengshan Commune who had attacked Zhan Honggui was at home. He now ran a carpentry shop and was living an honest life.
The carpenter had no trouble here, and when he understood what was going on, he paid the money readily.
At this point, Zhan Honggui had received a total of 3,500 yuan.
Even if this money is not enough to build a house, it will be enough. His old house can be sold for seven or eight hundred yuan.
In this way, the money for the house was available, but the money for opening the store was still not available.
This is not a problem, bread will drip, and so will fried dough twists.
The next day was the 13th, the delivery date agreed with the Soviets.
Starting from noon, many people came to the village one after another.
Although these people were all wearing casual clothes, one could still see the special temperament that only soldiers have in them.
This is to avoid attracting the attention of the Russians on the other side.
If they saw so many soldiers suddenly coming to this small village by the river, they might find some clues.
This was mainly to avoid causing trouble for those transporting the tanks.
Of course, this was also a cautious strategy. The Soviet Union did not even have a border watchtower on the other side of Slow Guitar Village, unless it was seen by a patrol boat patrolling the river.
But recently the Soviet patrol boats have appeared very rarely. Zhan Honggui said that in the past the Soviet patrol boats would go out more than ten times a day, running upstream and downstream.
Now I can't see it several times a day, sometimes I can't see it for two or three days.
The Soviet Union was about to fall into chaos and no one would take its borders seriously.
In addition to these visitors, two large flatbed trailers also arrived. However, because the streets in the village were not suitable for such long vehicles, the two flatbeds had to be parked outside the village.
Wan Feng had some complaints about these two cars.
Why don't you just send two drivers with some gas and drive it back? Why drive two of these things?
It's not too much trouble.
This time, Jiang Tang and the others came with someone who was obviously a high-ranking official.
Jiang Tang didn't say what he was doing specifically, he just introduced Wan Feng to this BOSS-level figure.
The boss also shook hands with Wan Feng, praised him as a patriotic businessman, and thanked him for his contributions to national defense.
Wan Feng felt embarrassed to be praised like this before he even got the tank.
Has he become a red-headed businessman? No way!
Boats pass by on the river from time to time, both large and small.
However, most of the ships operating on this section of the river are from the Soviet side, and there are very few Chinese ships on this section of the river.
Because Heixiazi Island is more than ten miles downstream from Slow Guitar. Now Heixiazi Island still belongs to the Soviet Union, and the main channel of Longjiang has become an inland river of the Soviet Union. Unless Chinese ships are trading with the Soviet Union, they do not go downstream much.
"Xiao Wan! When do you think the Russians will be able to come?" Comrade Jiang asked out of boredom.
Wan Feng shook his head. "I can't estimate that. Foreigners don't have much of a sense of time when it comes to doing things. If they say they want to meet you at one o'clock, then you have to be prepared for them not to show up at two o'clock."
This is a common problem among foreigners, whether they are developed Western countries or developing countries, except for the Confucian cultural circle centered on China.
If we talk about the most punctual people in the world, except for a few countries in East Asia, the rest of the countries are not worth mentioning.
This is also the reason why China has gone through the 300-year process of Western countries in just 70 years since its liberation.
When China caught up with the developed Western countries at a rocket-like speed, the Westerners were stunned. Their self-proclaimed noble race and advanced system became a pile of shit in front of China.
"Are Maozi so unsure about what he does?"
"Haha, the Russians are pretty good. If you deal with the Indians in the west, you will understand how worthless time is."
If you make an appointment with an Indian to discuss something, you should not be prepared for him not to show up for an hour, but for half a day or a whole day.
From the perspective of time alone, it is only a matter of time before Western countries are left far behind by China.
"So Maozi said he would come in the afternoon, but maybe he will come in the evening?"
"I hope they have a sense of time today. By the way, Comrade Jiang, didn't you greet the border station?"
The patrol boats of the border station often run back and forth in the river. If a cargo ship is intercepted without warning, it will cause a lot of delays.
"We've said hello, but the trouble is we don't know what kind of ship it is."
"I don't have any idea about this. Just wait..." Before Wan Feng could finish his words, I looked up unexpectedly and found that a boat coming down from upstream was actually heading towards the pier of Slow Guitar Village.
Wan Feng roughly judged that this was a small dry bulk carrier, but strangely, it was towed by a tugboat.
The dry bulk ship itself has power, so what's the situation with it being followed by a tugboat?
Could it be this ship?
If the Russians want to transport tanks here, they must have a roll-on/roll-off ship. If they bring such a ship, and the tanks are in the hold under the deck, they can't get the tanks ashore even if they dismantle the ship!
Maybe it's a ship that unloads at this dock.
But he has never seen any ships loading or unloading cargo at this dock since he arrived here?
The cargo ship was getting closer and closer, heading straight for the dock.
Wan Feng stood up suddenly: "Here it comes, it's this ship!"
"How do you know?"
"I saw Dimitri. Even though he was wearing makeup like an old sailor, I knew it was him."
Because the ship was very close, Dimitri was standing on the bow. Although he was wearing makeup, Wan Feng, who had dealt with him before, still recognized him.
Because this guy has a very bad habit. He always likes to pull his left ear with his left hand.
Under normal circumstances, this situation occurs once every one or two minutes on average.
Since he could see the people on the boat clearly, the bearded sailor standing at the bow has done this action at least seven or eight times.
Therefore, Wan Feng concluded that the man dressed as a sailor was Dimitri.
When they heard that the Soviet ship was coming, the bored people on the shore became excited.
"Didn't you say the Soviets were unreliable?"
"Maybe they didn't drink today!" This was the only explanation Wan Feng could give. How could he know that these people who had little sense of time could be reliable?
