Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1038 Party
At night, in the banquet hall on the third floor of the Leningrad Hotel, the small banquet hall was already full of 30 tables of people, all talking quietly.

After a while, Jiang Yan walked into the banquet hall surrounded by Xu Damao, Arov, Oliver, and Ivanov.

Everyone stood up at the same time and greeted Jiang Yan in various Chinese and Russian languages. The noise was deafening and the echoes reverberated in the banquet hall for a long time.

Jiang Yan waved his hand towards everyone, and they all sat down.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, Jiang Yan felt mixed emotions, even a little confused.

This afternoon, when Arov and his men reported the number of their men, Jiang Yan discovered that he had actually gathered such a large team in Russia, with more than 500 people.

Arov brought over many of his colleagues who were just as frustrated as him, merged a used car company, and recruited many skilled workers to work as salesmen and maintenance technicians. Arov alone already had more than 200 people under his command.

The rest are Lao Wei's comrades, who are responsible for protecting the safety of the goods on the train and in the warehouse.

Oliver and Ivanov have nearly 300 people under them in total, but none of them came here. Those who came were the management. Just from these two families, there were more than 30 people who came here.

"I have no other intention in calling everyone here this time. The first is that everyone has worked hard recently, so I'd like to treat you all to a good meal and drinks as a reward. The second is to let everyone get to know each other. From today on, we are a family." Jiang Yan said with a smile, holding a wine glass.

"And I also hope that everyone knows that the days to come will be better!" As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, there was an earth-shaking cheer from the audience.

To be honest, joining a new company, especially a private company in the form of a cooperative, was somewhat unsettling for those who were used to state-owned enterprises.

Lao Wei's comrades-in-arms also had the same problem. They left their hometown and came to a foreign country thousands of miles away covered in ice and snow, and they felt unsure of themselves.

But when they saw the 5,000 cars in the warehouse, the magnificent Leningrad Hotel, and the wide variety of delicious food and wine, they quickly understood the company's strength and developed a great sense of identity.

The boss who can invite the whole company to dinner here must have a mine or a bank. Although the Leningrad Hotel is a bit lonely, it is still one of the best hotels in Moscow.

Especially the employees from Damao, they felt it even more deeply. Most of them would never set foot in this magnificent hotel in their entire life, let alone eat there.

After drinking a few glasses of wine here, Jiang Yan took Xu Damao and a few others and evacuated directly. After all, the employees were not at ease eating here.

Before leaving, Jiang Yan specifically told Ivanov that there would be plenty of wine tonight, and if anyone couldn't go back, they could just book a room here, and all the expenses would be borne by Jiang Yan.

Back in Jiang Yan's presidential suite, Arov wiped his face vigorously with a hot towel. Although Jiang Yan had told him not to drink too much before, he still couldn't control himself and drank a little too much.

In Jiang Yan's room, Ivanov prepared a separate table of food according to Jiang Yan's instructions. After all, Jiang Yan and his friends had not eaten much before.

The five of them sat around the table and after they had eaten a little, Jiang Yan started talking.

"I may be away from here for a while. Let me talk about things one by one. First of all, Ivanov, the facilities in the hotel will continue to be improved. Some smaller rooms will be merged if necessary, and the worn-out beds, tables and chairs will be replaced. The employees will continue to be trained. I will send a batch of televisions later, and each room will have one. If you need any decorations, just tell Mr. Xu and he will arrange them."

"Okay, boss, I understand." Ivanov said.

"Oliver." "Boss, I'm here!" Oliver spoke. This was his first time attending such a meeting and he was a little nervous.

"Relax a little, Oliver. Go back and tell all the employees that their salaries will increase by 30%. Your salary will be directly on par with Ivanov's. For the remaining supplies, you can open more stores according to the variety and control the shipment volume every day. The sales of supplies will be left to you."

"For now, we will maintain the current number of employees. If there is a shortage of staff, we will discuss it with Ivanov and he will be available for support at any time. We can then recruit waiters after a while."

"Okay, boss, I will make sure to complete it." Oliver said.

Jiang Yan considered that the situation with the Russian bear would only become more and more chaotic, so he had to find a way to buy some weapons. Having weapons would at least serve as a deterrent.

"Arov, the current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. I would like to equip our security personnel with some light weapons. Do you have any solution?"

"No problem. I'll contact Kadanfu when I get back and ask him to get some gun licenses." Arov nodded.

"Brothers, can you all use the Russian bear's weapons?" Jiang Yan asked Lao Wei.
"You can use anything you can. Many Soviet weapons and domestic weapons are interchangeable. You can use them easily. I just wonder if this will cause you trouble."

He was afraid that if he shot and injured someone, things would get out of hand.

"The situation in Russia is completely out of control now. If the police were really useful, there wouldn't be so many people daring to rob trains."

At the Moscow train station, Jiang Yan saw with his own eyes people robbing goods at gunpoint, but the police just watched helplessly without any intention of doing anything.

After all, no one is stupid now. The salary paid by the government every day is not even enough for food. Who would work for the government? Normally, they just maintain order when the train arrives.

"Moscow is in chaos right now. Some time ago, even at the Volga Automobile Factory, we could hear gunshots and explosions every day. There was even a real fight over cars, with no less than fifty people involved," Arov said.

"As a result, six people died, dozens were injured, three cars were burned, and a police car was blown into the sky by a grenade..."

"Even Molov, the director of the tire factory, was forced to the windowsill and asked if he knew which floor his office was on and how high it was from the sidewalk because he did not understand the situation. Poor Molov was so scared that he peed his pants. He quickly signed and agreed to send several train cars of tires without even asking the price and payment date." Arov said with a sigh.

"I'll take care of the weapons. As long as they have a gun license, if they dare to steal our things, Wei, you just shoot. Leave the rest to me. I want to see who dares." Arov said.

The reason why he was so confident was that Kadanfu called him not long ago and reminded him that the Automobile Alliance needed to recruit some armed security guards. He would cry if his car was stolen by others.

As for the guns and ammunition, Kadanfu said he was in charge and had also obtained a lot of gun licenses.

He even took the initiative to give Jiang Yan a car, the eight-cylinder GAZ-24, saying that the car had been specially treated and had certain bulletproof capabilities, and was the car for senior leaders of the Russian army.
