Chapter 721 St. Petersburg


A few days later, the lobby of Huajing Airport.

Chen Xi shook hands with Wang Zhi and said, "The last time I saw my uncle was when I was in junior high school. It has been so many years, but his appearance has not changed much."

Wang Zhi was wearing a suit, carrying a suitcase, and dressed like a big boss. People who didn't know the truth thought he was doing well now.

Although he is getting a little fatter as he gets older, from his appearance, it can be judged that he was quite handsome when he was young.

He has a habit of always carrying a comb with him to style his hair wherever he goes.

Just in line with the old saying: When people fall, strength cannot!

"Haha, I'm getting old, I'm getting old, my hair is all white now." Wang Zhi smiled while stroking his hair.

Indeed, as he said, there were a few strands of silver in the black hair.

This time Wang Xianqi asked Chen Xi to help him make a fortune. In fact, the father and son wanted to do the coal business, but the trade required a letter of credit and other things. They did not have a foreign trade company, so they could only ask Chen Xi for help, saying that if the good thing was done, the profits would be divided into three parts. Give him one part.

That's what happened, but Wang Xianqi put it another way. He said that he would engage in rural projects in the future, but investing in shares would still require money, so he planned to start with coal first, and at the same time, he could ask Wang Zhi to talk to him about the future project.

Chen Xi also had this intention, so he agreed without hesitation.

The destination this time is Moscow, but international flights are prohibited from direct entry into Moscow, so we can only go to St. Petersburg first and then transfer to a train or plane. (This was the case when I went to Moscow at that time. I heard it seemed to be to prevent situations like 91X from happening.)

A few of them were flying Aeroflot, and the stewardess was not pretty. It can also be said that Chen Xi had never seen many beautiful local girls in Russia in his previous life. It was as if all the beautiful girls were exported abroad. On the contrary, there were quite a lot of beautiful Ukrainian girls.

The plane is big, but the equipment is not very good, and the food is not very delicious.

Borscht with bread and butter, two sausages, a vegetable salad and dessert is the best meal on the plane.

It is said that Aeroflot pilots used to fly fighter jets.

The flight will not be late every time, but will arrive early. Chen Xi has experienced this before, and he is indeed not lying.

Wang Zhi also has two characteristics. First, he walks extremely fast. This speed is always at a high speed, and even Chen Xi can't keep up with him. Because normal people walk sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, Wang Zhi is in a hurry every moment. The second is that he likes to sleep when he is in a car or when he has nothing to do, as if to stay energetic and discuss business with others. Chen Xi has only seen this kind of excessive diligence in a few successful entrepreneurs.

Chen Xi rarely admires people, but some characteristics of Wang Zhi still attract him. Although this middle-aged man failed to get up again after falling down many times, his unwillingness to admit defeat still won the admiration of many people.

Maybe this business was very important to Wang Zhi. After getting on the plane, he didn't sleep. Instead, he chatted with Chen Xi: "The current international market price of thermal coal is US$120 per ton. The source of supply we are looking for this time is... The price is lower than this. The first batch is planned to be 200,000 tons for trial, and the subsequent volume will be larger and larger. You have also seen it in the downstream. It is a well-known Chinese company and absolutely reliable..."

Chen Xi already knew the specific situation. It was the company where he sold coal in his previous life. There was no big problem.

But he was interested in rural projects, so Chen Xi looked at Wang Zhi and said, "How did you plan that rural project? As far as I know, Aba Aba is also developing rural projects and has invested 10 billion!"


"Aba Aba is a big company, but Feng Yun didn't understand one thing. To find a big boss in Huajing, you must first meet the conditions. Although Mr. Feng is said to be very powerful, his base camp is in Wulin. When the big guys in Huajing help you, they first look at future profits, that is, you must be in Huajing, otherwise, who are you helping? "Wang Zhi gestured in the air with his fingers. With.

Chen Xi naturally understands this, otherwise he would not have located his company there.

This is one of the reasons why many entrepreneurs will set up their headquarters in Huajing. Some even had their original headquarters not in Huajing, but eventually moved their headquarters there, just to facilitate future work.

"Second, Feng Yun made a big mistake. That is, rural problems cannot be solved by private enterprises alone. They must cooperate with certain departments to carry out work. You said that he went to the countryside to talk to farmers in such a big battle. Cooperation, can we communicate here? Will the farmers trust you? Have the novel plans you proposed been approved by the local government? No, investing 10 billion is completely self-indulgent. Therefore, Feng Yun can only do business with private enterprises in the city. Can’t get projects related to policy.”

Wang Zhi's words made Chen Xi nod in agreement again, and he thought so too.

"Third, he said that rural projects want to solve food safety problems. Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't know what he wants to do? If you want to carry out rural projects, you must conform to the above ideas. The above What's the idea? It's not that you go to the countryside to buy and sell goods, but that you We must solve a series of problems for farmers. Of course, we are businessmen and we cannot delay our own problems just to solve other people's problems. We must also make money for ourselves while holding high the banner. Happy, we are happy too.”

"Then who are you going to work with?" Chen Xi wanted to see if there was any difference between this life and the previous one.

"There is no way to bypass the supply and marketing cooperatives when doing this project. They must take shares. Then there is the issue of funding. I designed this project to be very large. I have to put a lot of elements into it, which means a lot of money is needed. I thought about it. Come on, there are so many funds in China, just find an organization that matches our project.”

"The money isn't enough." As someone who has been there, Chen Xi still knows the details very well.

The total amount of that fund is tens of billions, and it is completely insufficient to put it all into the project.

"Well, let's do it first and then we'll figure it out later." Wang Zhi also knew the situation and wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

He doesn't like to say depressing words in front of others, nor does he like to hear other people say depressing words. His inner thought is to just do it and be done with it.

"With more people, there will be more infighting. With such a big cake, everyone wants to share more, so it's better to be careful." Chen Xi sighed and reminded.

"You young people, don't always think about negative things before things are done. You must be brave and take the first step." Wang Zhi glanced at him with some displeasure.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Chen Xi could only change the topic: "What do the supply and marketing cooperatives think? Why don't they go to Feng Yun to cooperate?"

"The current thinking of supply and marketing cooperatives is still relatively old-fashioned, but the operating conditions of so many of its companies are getting worse and worse. Their leaders are aware of this, so they are ready to start reforms. But what Feng Yun did... Thoughts and supply and marketing cooperatives are in completely different directions. Think about it, one just wants to make money, the other wants to solve the farmers' problems and ensure business operations. There are also many political factors involved..." After Wang Zhi said this, something suddenly occurred to him and he said: "Listen, tomorrow Your father and the Xu family took over the square project.”

Chen Xi was stunned after hearing this, and realized that Wang Zhi was very obsessed with this project, and it was because of this project that Wang Zhi went bankrupt. This is similar to the fact that even though Chen Xi was reborn, he still had to run back to Huajing to restart the project.

Both of them have this kind of personality, and they both have deep obsessions with their previous failures.

"Well, I think that project shouldn't be done, hahaha." Chen Xi said that Tomorrow Square is a big hole.

Wang Zhi looked at his son who was sleeping next to him, and whispered to Chen Xi: "Xian Qi is not officer material. You should take care of him more in the future."

"Understood." Chen Xi made an OK gesture.

Perhaps because he had talked too much, Wang Zhi closed his eyes and squinted after a while.

At this time, the lights on the plane also dimmed. In order to do things tomorrow, Chen Xi also covered himself with a blanket and started to sleep.

With the rumble in his ears, Chen Xi opened his eyes and saw that the plane had begun to land.

This is their first stop in Russia - St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg is a central municipality in Russia and the capital of the Leningrad Oblast. It is also known as the northern capital of Russia.

In the past, this city was actually named Leningrad, which was the place name that often appeared in WWII. Later, after a citizen vote, the old name of St. Petersburg was restored.

It has to be said that Lao Maozi's infrastructure in the past was still very good. St. Petersburg has crisscrossed rivers and 42 small islands, but more than 420 bridges were built to connect them. Therefore, it is also known as the "Venice of the North". say. But these infrastructures are very old and the houses are dilapidated.

The only thing that stands out is the ancient buildings.

Chen Xi has been to so many countries. Although he doesn't have a good impression of Russia, their palaces can be said to be the most majestic.

The population of St. Petersburg and Mo Village is about the same, about five million.

But outside of the city center, you basically won’t see anyone outside.

After getting off the plane, Chen Xi began to ask Wang Xianqi what the person who picked them up looked like, and heard the other person say: "No one will come to pick them up until we arrive in Moscow. We have to go to the train station by ourselves first..."

"Ah?" Chen Xi's mind was filled with questions.

Such a big deal, and no one has come to take it?

"Let me check the strategy." After Wang Xianqi said that, he took out the map and guide from his bag.

"Damn it, you are really good at playing. You make up lessons on the spot." Chen Xi was almost speechless.

Wang Zhi also sighed and shook his head. His son was so unreliable that he couldn't handle even the little things he arranged.

"We have to take the subway first, because taxis here are ripping off customers." Wang Xianqi finished reading the text on the guide and called for the two of them to follow him.

Russia's subway is quite magical. How can I put it? You can be exhausted just by taking the train.

Its subways are almost as deep as those in mountain cities, and some even reach a hundred meters underground.

That means passengers need to keep going down.

Although this situation also exists in mountain cities, it was built very late and the elevators are well maintained, so it is not too tiring to go up and down.

However, Russia's subway is almost a century old, and there are also problems with elevator maintenance. It often happens that the elevators on some floors are unusable, and you need to walk down.

The slope of the stairs is quite high. If someone with a fear of heights accidentally falls, they will probably die.

But there is nothing that can be done. The purpose of building such a deep subway was to prevent air raids. It can be said to be a special product of a special period.

Chen Xi and Wang Zhi looked down at the bottomless depths with their luggage in solemn faces. They took a deep breath and took the first step.

"Put your backpack on my suitcase. This will save you effort." Wang Xianqi took Chen Xi and his father's backpack and put them on his suitcase. Trying to ease the embarrassment in this flattering way.

"Are you sure someone will come to pick you up when you get to Moscow?" Chen Xi asked.

"Yeah, don't worry, I hired a translator in Moscow." Wang Xianqi nodded desperately.

The three of them went all the way down, and it took a lot of effort to reach the bottom.

The platform is very old, but very unique. It is like visiting a museum. There are ancient murals on the surrounding walls and ceiling.

The subway is very old and seems to be from the last century. There is no air conditioning in the carriages.

Lao Maozi's lifestyle is simple and crude. What would he do without air conditioning?

They just opened the windows of the carriage.

Yes, you heard that right. Just open the windows and let the fresh air from outside float in.

The wind underground had a whooshing feeling. Due to the speed of the car, the whole carriage was very noisy. Chen Xi could only feel the whistling of the wind everywhere in his ears.

There are not many Asians in Russia now, and the old guys in the carriage are looking at them with strange eyes.

The Asians who come here are basically Chinese doing business, because Southeast Asians such as Kimchi Country and Sakura Country rarely go here.

From time to time, a few drunkards would hold wine bottles and smile at them with their yellow teeth showing, which made Wang Zhi's head hurt.

There were no surprises along the way, and after changing trains, they finally arrived at the train station.

After leaving the train station, after looking at Chen Xi and his father's expressions that looked like constipation, Wang Xianqi smiled and took out the guide: "Haha, look at your faces, I said it was okay. This guide is carefully prepared by me. Let me take a look at the selected ones. Be sure to take your own at the Russian train station..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xianqi was bumped into by someone, and suddenly the backpack hanging on the suitcase was roughly lifted up by several big hands.

The three of them immediately turned around and saw a few old men running ahead with their backpacks without looking back.

"Damn it, my passport and wallet are in there!" Wang Xianqi shouted, his face turning livid instantly.

However, Chen Xi had already taken the lead and ran after him.

"Wait for me! Let's chase him together!" Wang Xianqi also came to his senses, shouting while following Chen Xi's footsteps and chasing forward with all his strength.

Wang Zhi looked at the three suitcases in front of him, gritted his teeth and followed them.

"Huhu." But before he ran a few steps, he stopped.

This is a train station, with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, and the flow of people is surprisingly large. In just ten seconds, Chen Xi and his son were completely invisible in front of them.

PS: The photos of the Russian chapter were all taken before. I have forgotten which ones they are, so I will just post a few of them. It may have nothing to do with what you wrote, so don’t worry about the details.

I personally recommend not to travel here, the public security is really bad. (End of chapter)
