Chapter 1800 I'll tell you after drinking
The helicopter Xiao Peng was riding in could not land directly on the 'New Calypso' - this Mi-26 helicopter was too big.
Xiao Peng had just gotten off the helicopter when he saw an old acquaintance: "Brother Chen, has anyone ever told you that your figure resembles the Mountain Eagle?"
Chen Zetao laughed angrily: "With this look, you say I look like a mountain eagle? Look in the mirror, who of us looks more like a mountain eagle?"
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about each other anymore. Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
Chen Zetao said helplessly: "You've caused so much trouble here, how could I dare to go to you? If I go, things will get out of hand!"
Xiao Peng said disdainfully: "Just say you're too lazy to meddle in other people's business."
Chen Zetao smiled and said, "Did you see your new ship in the sky?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I see. I can't wait to go up and take a look."
Chen Zetao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the ship is loading your cargo right now."
"Loading? What things?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Chen Zetao asked back, "Don't you know what you bought yourself?"
Xiao Peng frowned: "What did I buy?"
Desaryev said, "Mr. Xiao, this is a gift from Nov."
"Nouf?" Xiao Peng frowned slightly.
Xiao Peng also felt extremely helpless about what happened in Yamalo-Nenets. They were all crimes, but in the end, those involved escaped punishment. Only Chudinov and his accomplices died. As for the masterminds behind the scenes, they all escaped punishment, such as Gordeeva and Novov...
This is just like "Journey to the West". All the monsters without background were killed, while all the monsters with background were safe and sound.
Novak also avoided sanctions, but perhaps because of his conscience, he sent a gift to Xiao Peng.
"What gift?" Xiao Peng asked.
Chen Zetao answered the question: "Truckloads of mammoth ivory and fur products. I've handled the customs formalities for you and can send them back to China."
Xiao Peng was not happy after hearing this.
Daxia is now extremely strict in protecting animals. The consequences of illegally purchasing, transporting, and selling nationally protected animals and their products are severe. In particular, all wild animals that are not native to the country are registered as first- or second-class protected wildlife.
To give a simple example: In the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, wolves are almost becoming rampant. If you bring wolf fur coats back to China without customs clearance, it is illegal because wolves are second-class protected wild animals in China, and wolf fur coats are products made from protected animals.
By the same token, you can't bring back things like bear fur coats - of course, this is all theoretically 'can't bring back'. When declaring them to customs, you can solve the problem by saying that they are products made from reindeer skin, pig skin, cow skin, sheepskin, etc.
Unless someone is stupid enough to bring back a polar bear fur product, it really cannot be hidden (polar bear fur is transparent, not white, it's just that polar bear skin is black and appears white due to the refraction of light).
It is for this reason that ivory products are basically illegal to enter the country.
But mammoth ivory is legal.
Because mammoths are extinct, mammoth ivory is classified as "biological fossils" so there is no killing. As long as it is not smuggled, it can be circulated in the market.
Xiao Peng expressed his disagreement with the concept of "biological fossils".
When mammoths became extinct, the Egyptians had already built pyramids. Their carcasses were kept in polar regions, so many are still remarkably well-preserved. Some are even still fresh and edible.
Regardless, the mammoth ivory trade boosted the Siberian economy. Every summer, groups of people would use high-pressure water cannons to scour the permafrost, searching for ivory. In North America, saber-toothed tiger bones and teeth could even be found in places like Alaska and Canada. The primary customer for these mammoth ivory was naturally Daxia.
It was thoughtful of Novuf to use this as a gift.
But Xiao Peng just couldn't be happy.
I feel like I'm being paid for these things as hush money.
"I suddenly don't want to go back to the ship now." Xiao Peng said, "This is the first time I feel that being rich doesn't make people happy."
Chen Zetao smiled and said, "Then let's go find a place to have a couple of drinks to warm ourselves up?"
Xiao Peng scratched his ears and said, "I thought so too. I couldn't hear anything on this lousy helicopter without headphones, but once I put them on, I could hear Kasin chattering away."
Xiao Peng and his friends went to a bar.
As soon as they entered the bar, Desalev said, "Mr. Xiao, my protection of you ends here. I can't participate in what happens next."
Xiao Peng looked at Desalev and asked, "Why?"
Desaryev explained, "What happens next is a military matter. There's a lot of dirty work going on between the military and the FSB. Even the FSB has things they can't touch. At the very least, they don't welcome us."
Xiao Peng nodded in understanding. He shook hands with Desarev and said, "Desarev, thank you for solving so many problems for me."
DeSalvatore smiled and said, "It's my honor."
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "You can't wait to get away from me!"
Desaryev shook his head and said, "That's not actually the case. After all, aren't Bruch and the others still in Moscow? As long as they're in Russia, they're safe and under our protection."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Then you guys must have worked very hard."
Desaryev nodded and said, "It's really hard work. Smolov, Cherichev, and the other four accompany them every day, eating, drinking, and having fun. Zhirkov has gained five kilograms... Mr. Xiao, can you tell me a question?"
"What's the problem?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Desalev smiled bitterly and said, "Are your bodyguards and assistants really responsible for your safety? Including Kashin, I find that these people don't care about your safety! They are having more fun than you!"
Xiao Peng laughed heartily after hearing this. "It can't be helped. It's just bad luck for my family. I'm such a bad boss. I only hired people like this."
After hearing this, Kasin said, "Boss, you're hurting my heart. Where can I find a bodyguard as good as me? I need comfort!"
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him and asked, "What kind of comfort do you need?"
Kashin put his arm around Desarev's neck and said, "Don't leave in such a hurry, Desarev. My boss can't hold his liquor well, so let's have a good drink. My boss is paying for all the drinks today."
"When did I say I would pay the bill?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Kasin said, "Since you needed Desarev to help you get back the 5 million and 500 thousand euros owed to Soo Jung-seok."
"What 5.5 million euros in debt?" Chen Zetao asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I'll tell you when I'm done drinking!"
