Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 219 Ivan the Great Shows His Powers Part [-]
Hakodate is five to six hundred kilometers away from Kushiro. It was already night when Wang Weidong arrived in Hakodate, so he could only stay in Hakodate for one night first.

The next morning, Wang Weidong went to Kushiro, and it was already afternoon when he arrived in Kushiro, nearly [-] kilometers away.

Wang Weidong first called Chairman Yoshiki Sato and told him that he hoped to meet him tomorrow.Then I found a hotel in front of the station to stay, and after taking a bath in the salt hot spring, I went back to my room to rest.

But in the evening, Sato Yoshinori still found the hotel and warmly invited him to dinner.

When the two were eating Kushiro's famous Pork Donburi, Wang Weidong asked puzzledly: "President Sato, we had a great cooperation in April, but now it's August, why didn't you send out orders to purchase cod and other sea fish?" news?"

President Sato first bowed slightly to say sorry, and then explained: "The reason why we ordered cod in April was because the stock of cod was seriously insufficient at that time, and now the fishing boats of Hokkaido fishermen are fishing in the sea, and there is no shortage of sea fish."

"But our fish is cheaper! Much cheaper than those fishermen's fish." Wang Weidong said.

The fishery resources of the big northern country are even richer than those of the small country. There are even fishermen from the small country who secretly go fishing in the economic waters of the big northern country, and those who are caught are thrown into prison.

Chairman Sato bowed slightly again to apologize, and then explained: "Although it is more expensive to buy fish from Japanese fishermen, in order to ensure their income, we have no choice but to do so."

Hearing President Sato's explanation, Wang Weidong was speechless.

For people in other countries, doing business is to do what they can to reduce costs, but Chairman Sato and the others prefer to purchase sea fish with higher prices in order to protect the income of fishermen.

"So our cooperation will not be able to continue in the future?" Wang Weidong asked.

Chairman Sato replied: "That's not the case. From September, we will continue to order your cod until November. I am really sorry for the trouble caused to you!"

After finishing speaking, Chairman Sato bowed slightly to Wang Weidong again.

Wang Weidong was very impatient with this kind of politeness. What he hoped to get was not such a false apology but a real benefit. "

"Well, I'll wait for your news next month." Wang Weidong said.

Although the old guy Sato Yoshinori kept saying sorry, Wang Weidong was very dissatisfied with this trip to Japan.

What he hopes to get is a steady stream of orders from Hokkaido.Since Hokkaido can't meet his requirements, he can only think of other ways.

Returning to Hakodate by plane, Wang Weidong flew from Hakodate to Busan, a peninsula country.

After returning to Vladivostok from Busan, Wang Weidong immediately went to see the mayor of Skiak, and he forwarded the mobile phone that Ou Xiaojun gave him to the mayor of Skiak.

The mayor of Skiak was very happy to receive this gift, although he is still not sure whether the mobile phone can be used in Vladivostok.

"Verton, there is one thing I want to find you right now. There are three broken ships in our port that are completely unusable. Now I entrust you to sell them and replace them with what we urgently need." Skiak said.

"One more thing, Mr. Bituski, the mayor of Ussuriysk, he really wants to see you. You will go to Ussuriysk in a few days. I believe he will have good news for you. Your cause is good," Mayor Skiak continued.

There are many forms of transportation in Vladivostok, such as trams, trolleybuses, buses, mountain cable cars and barges across the sea.

Now what Skiak wants to sell to Wang Weidong is the cross-sea barge.Those ships are not getting the necessary maintenance in the port now, and they will soon rust and turn into scrap copper and iron. It is better to sell them now than to do that.

Mayor Skiak sent his secretary to take Wang Weidong to the Golden Horn to see the three barges.The three barges on the pier did look old and rusty, but they were still able to start, in other words, with a little repair, they could still be used.

Wang Weidong felt that he had to go back to China to discuss this matter with Song Yu and Ou Xiaoyang.Better to have them both come over and have a look.

Andreev told Wang Weidong a few days ago that someone wanted to go to the machinery repair shop to make trouble. After Wang Weidong followed Andreev's suggestion and sent ten boxes of liquor, the matter was resolved.

Now there are two tall and burly people sent by the big brother who got the liquor to guard the machine repair factory.

These two people have nothing to do here all day long. They sit with Fang Yanmei, Kong Deliang and the others when they eat every day, especially at night, they sit and drink together.After a few days, we have become like friends.Of course, it would be better if the relationship can be communicated with language.

Wang Weidong rushed to the machinery repair shop first, and he saw the two burly men with big arms and round waists, one named Big Ivan and the other named Constantine.

Because staying here was too boring, Constantine drove a crane to help Fang Yanmei and the others load scrap steel onto the broken cart.

Big Ivan in a black velvet hat sat smoking a cigarette.

Wang Weidong went over to greet the two people with a smile, and asked them if they could get used to Chinese food?

"As long as no one comes here to disturb you, I will give you another reward in the future!" Wang Weidong said.

The two work as security guards here, and Wang Weidong has to pay each of them an additional one hundred dollars, but the money has to go directly to the boss of the two, and Wang Weidong doesn't know how much the two can get.

"Now I'm going to Ussuriysk, let Constantine stay here, and you go with me!" Wang Weidong said to Big Ivan.

Driven by Big Ivan, the two rushed to Ussuriysk, a hundred kilometers away.

Sitting in the car, Wang Weidong asked, "Ivan, were you a soldier?"

Because he looked down and saw that Big Ivan was still wearing military boots on his feet.

"Yes, I used to be a paratrooper and went abroad to fight in wars, but now I have nothing left, so I can only dawdle like this!" Big Ivan said angrily, patting the steering wheel with his big hands like bear paws.

"Everything will be fine, as long as you follow me, there will be bread and everything!" Wang Weidong said, patting Big Ivan on the shoulder.

Arriving at the city hall, Wang Weidong asked his secretary to inform Mayor Bituski that a Chinese named Wang Weidong was now coming to visit him.

Hearing that Wang Weidong was coming, Bituski asked the secretary to bring Wang Yudong in immediately.

"Mr. Verton, you are finally here!" Bituski said.

"The mayor of Skiak said that you need to find me, so I will come to see you as soon as I return to Vladivostok." Wang Weidong said.

"There are a lot of Chinese doing business here now, but they can't get food, and the price they ask is too high, and the goods they provide are really not that good!" Bituski said distressedly.

Those merchants had no plans to do business here for a long time, and they didn't care about the quality of the goods. The lower the price, the better. Seeing the lack of goods here, the lions opened their mouths and shouted high prices.

People in the big northern country actually have resentment in their hearts.

Especially after several drinking accidents, people here began to no longer trust Chinese products.

But now there is no substitute for commodities and merchants from other places. If the economy of the big northern country stabilizes in the future, the crisis of Chinese merchants will come.

But few people who do business here think of this. What they think is to take advantage of the great opportunity to make money now!
"We have a logging machinery factory here, which is now deserted. I transferred it to a businessman, and he promised to exchange it with clothing liquor and canned food, but the things he provided were too little and poor, and I had driven him away! said Bituski.

"Mayor Skiak recommended you to me, he said you are his best Chinese friend! In Vladivostok is known for fair talk! This time I entrust that factory to you, hope we Happy working together!" Bituski said.

In order to show his sincerity, Bituski decided to take Wang Weidong to visit the factory in person.

The big northern country used to have a huge industrial system, and the so-called cities in many places were actually huge factories.

But now from mining to machinery manufacturing is falling apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire country is now de-manufacturing.

Factories are turning into piles of steel waste.

What Bituski wanted to take Wang Weidong to see was a large-scale logging machinery manufacturing plant, but now there is no logging, no appropriation from superiors, no supply of steel raw materials for the production machinery, neither upstream nor downstream, manufacturing The chains were all broken, and within a few months the factory was deserted.

Now Bituski wants to hand over the factory, which is rusting in the wind and rain, to Wang Weidong, so that Wang Weidong can conjure food, clothes and other urgently needed commodities.

Most of Ussuriysk's factories are in the east of the city, across the Ussuri River.

Seeing that Wang Weidong came by car, Bituski got into the Volga car driven by Big Ivan very friendly. He and Wang Weidong sat in the back row, Big Ivan drove, and the secretary sat in the co-pilot's seat.

The Volga car drove across the bridge over the Ussuri River to the logging machinery factory under the direction of the secretary.

"Mr. Verton, this machinery factory is much bigger than the factory you are dismantling now. This time I will rely entirely on you!" Bituski said to Wang Weidong.

Before Wang Weidong could answer, a car suddenly jumped out in front of him, blocking the front. Big Ivan didn't have time to brake, and the Volga car hit the side of the car in front.

The four people in the car rushed forward under the action of inertia, but immediately turned back, because the rear of the Volga car was hit hard by the car behind again!
The most experienced of the four was Big Ivan, who had already let go of the steering wheel and grabbed an iron rod!
