Far away in Moscow

Chapter 137 State-Owned Assets
The thin man hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, you have to make it clear to her that we have to take these things away no matter what!"

"Speak clearly? As far as your messy names are concerned, can she understand them clearly? Can she let you take them away if she understands them clearly?" Hu Yi didn't like the thin man, squinting and sneering: "Do you think Does she really care what's in the bag? Naive."

The thin man was startled: "You, what do you mean?"

The leader had already thought about it, and said in a low voice, frowning, "Could it be...she wants to ask for a bribe?"

"I think it's [-]%." Hu Yi leaned over to him and whispered: "This kind of thing is very common in Russia, you see she is not in a hurry, she doesn't care what is on the table, she is just waiting to make a fortune Woolen cloth."

"No way! This is the airport. Under the eyes of everyone, is she so courageous?" The leader looked at Hu Yi suspiciously: "You can find a way to negotiate with her and see what she means."

"Okay." Hu Yi turned around and returned to the table, and patted the bag containing the samples with a smile: "I asked clearly, there are only some chemical materials used for processing food, and there is no harm at all."

"I don't know about that." The female customs officer looked listless with her eyes half-opened and half-closed.

"So..." Hu Yi paused, and asked tentatively, "What should they do now to take these things away?"

The female customs officer didn't answer his question, and slowly raised her head to look at Hu Yi: "Are you a student?"

"Yes."

"How many years have you been in Russia?"

"Three years."

The female customs officer drooped her mouth and raised her eyebrows slightly, she turned her head and held her chin and stopped talking.

Hu Yi's heart was clear. The subtext behind the two seemingly inexplicable questions she just asked was: "Are you stupid?"

Because any foreigner who has lived in Russia for three years knows what to do at this time.

Once you figure out the nature of the matter, the next step will be easy.Hu Yi put one elbow on the table and smiled at her: "How much?"

The opponent's chin-supporting hand stretched out a finger against his cheek, and then retracted it.

"Hundred dollars?"

"uh-huh."

"Understood." Hu Yi got up and left.

"Wait a minute." The female customs officer stopped him again: "Not here. The smoking place in the back corner, passport."

Hu Yi understood, and turned his eyes to look around. Sure enough, there was a monitor on the side facing the table in front of him.He returned to the leader and told the other party's request truthfully: "One hundred dollars, keep it in your passport and don't show it, and wait for her in the smoking place in the corner later."

"One hundred dollars? She, her, her! How dare you ask for a hundred dollars as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip?" The leader trembled angrily: "Shameless! Extortion! Bravery! It's only been a few years since the disintegration of the Soviet Union? This way!"

"Hey, don't get excited, it's been more than ten years." Hu Yi said helplessly: "Besides, I guess it wasn't much better back then, but you didn't see it."

The leader unbuttoned his suit, grabbed half of the skirt and fanned it vigorously: "It's like plucking wild goose! Is there no law in this place? With such a harsh business environment, how can Russia develop a healthy and sound market economy?"

Hu Yi peeked at the gloomy female customs officer, turned her head and smiled and comforted the leader: "I don't think you should be angry and anxious about them. No matter how bad the environment is, you are here, right? Don't you still plan to do business with them and earn money?" Is it their money? One hundred dollars isn’t much for a big company like yours, is it? It’s fine if you can take things away smoothly.”

"This is two different things! You little comrade really doesn't understand the truth!" The leader reprimanded bitterly: "One hundred dollars is really nothing, but we are a state-owned enterprise, and every penny is a state-owned asset! Our money It is to be used for production, operation, earning profits, and paying profits and taxes! How can these insatiable foreign officials be taken advantage of for nothing! "

Hu Yi was taken aback. He only wanted to spend money to solve troublesome things as soon as possible. He had never raised his theoretical knowledge to this level, so he murmured with a smile: "Yes, you are right. But this is also to solve the problem. "

"Okay! Solve the problem!" The leader angrily stretched out his hand to the skinny man beside him: "Take the money!"

The thin man quickly took out a hundred-dollar bill from his bag and handed it over.The leader gritted his teeth and grinned at the female customs officer, and threw the money at her head like a baseball player throwing a ball: "I'll give you the money!"

Of course, the banknotes can't fly out like baseballs, they roll around and fall to the ground as soon as they are shot.The complexion of the female customs officer changed, she suddenly got up and turned around to leave.

Hu Yi didn't expect the leader to be so angry and jealous, he froze in place for a while, staring blankly at the leader who was still angry with the others.

"Okay! You did it beautifully! You have to show them something!" The thin man stretched out his thumb and praised the leader for a while, then turned to look at Hu Yi: "Hey, she left? Will she come back? We How about just taking things away?"

"Are you really stupid or fake?" Hu Yi snorted from his nose, and pointed to the exit: "Did you see the security guards at the door? These things were confiscated by the customs, do you think they can let you go? Let's talk , whoever sees the benefits will have a share, and they are waiting for you."

The thin man turned his head to look, and sure enough, the security guards at the door were staring at them with folded arms, seeming very concerned about the development of the situation here.

"Then, what should we do now?" The thin man looked at the leader in a panic.

"What else can I do? Find a way to solve the problem." The leader probably also felt that he was a little impulsive just now, he hesitated for a moment and turned to Hu Yi: "I won't show up. Comrade, I'll leave this matter to you .”

"Tell me about you, you are so old, you are not stable at all." Hu Yi leaned over and picked up the one hundred dollars on the ground, shaking his head with a half-smile: "Fortunately, the old man doesn't care about face and only recognizes money, otherwise, hey-hey."

While talking, he looked around and saw the female customs officer standing in the corner smoking a cigarette. Hu Yi took out his passport and put the dollar in it, walked over quickly, said a few polite words, and handed the passport forward.

Then everything disappeared, as if nothing had happened.The female customs officer put out the cigarette butt and went back to the table and waved her hand. Everyone quickly gathered around and put their things back into the box, and followed Hu Yi out of the airport.The driver who came to pick up the plane was impatient for a long time. Hu Yi said a few words of comfort and urged everyone to get in the car and set off.

When the car arrived at the hotel, the passengers dragged their luggage and gathered in the lobby. The leader gathered them together and told them about various precautions, and asked everyone to report to themselves before going out.

Hu Yi put away his documents and went to the front desk to help them check in, and the thin man followed after carrying the suitcase: "Young man, what's your name?"

"My surname is Hu."

"Oh, it's Brother Hu." The thin man smiled politely: "Our leader was very angry at the customs just now, and now he is in a bad mood. He wants to go out for a walk and relax. Is there any interesting place nearby?"

"The spirit is pretty good, aren't you tired just after getting off the plane?" Hu Yi twitched his lips: "What do you want to play? A nightclub? A bar? Or..."

"No, no, you can't go to that kind of place. It's immoral. Once it gets out, it won't be good." The thin man waved his hand solemnly: "Is there a casino?"
