Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 402 That Cook
Big Brother, Baikonur Cosmodrome.

The secrecy of the An-225 is obviously lower than that of the Huanxue space shuttle. Not only did everyone board the plane to visit in person, they even conducted multiple simulated driving in the flight simulation room.

To be honest, flying this kind of aircraft is no fun at all.

Because it requires six crew members to operate and drive, and there is no thrill of flying a fighter plane at all.

After visiting the Baikonur launch base, Zhao Wenmu went to the port of Odessa on the Black Sea, while others went to Moscow, Leningrad, Chelyabinsky and Vladivostok.

Everyone has their own tasks.

Either promote the next stage of the transaction of replacing light industrial products with aircraft, or open up all links of Big Brother transportation and trade, or make friends with people in aerospace related fields in the name of promoting some commercial cooperation.

Zhao Wenmu went to inspect Rong Zhenyi's shipping company.

The headquarters of this company is in Odessa by the Black Sea, and its current main business is to sell Ermao's grain to Southeast Asia.

Very reasonable.

After all, it is very close to the plains of Ukraine.

Of course, some important facilities are also very close.

Wheat from the Ukrainian plains goes south by rail to the port of Odessa, then passes through the Bosporus Strait and Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, and enters the Aegean Sea.

Then it enters the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden through the Suez Canal, then sails across the vast Indian Ocean, and finally reaches Southeast Asian countries through the Strait of Malacca.

In the future, its real destination is Papua New Guinea, next to Indonesia.

To be exact, Star Island in the Bismarck Sea in northern Papua New Guinea.

In fact, Rong Zhenyi is applying to open this route.

Deliver food and building materials to Xingchen Island.

When Zhao Wenmu arrived, the bulk ship belonging to the Rong family was loading grain, and the bottom of the huge mechanical arm protruding from the tall and thick granary on the shore was a funnel-shaped discharge port, from which golden yellow wheat was continuously pouring out. out, stirring up dust in the sky.

Some workers manipulated sprinklers to spray water jets towards the smoke and dust.

Not far away, a huge grab bucket is grabbing corn and dumping it into another ship.

Looking at it from a distance, it seems very ordinary.

However, when you get closer, you will find that both the funnel-shaped feed port and the grab are all scary.

"The Harvest bulk carrier can carry 6 tons of grain at a time, and the Novus not far away has a cargo capacity of only [-] tons. They are all handy-sized bulk carriers, and they can be regarded as small ones in this type of ship. "

The person in charge of the shipping company introduced to Zhao Wenmu.

"At present, the company is purchasing two giant bulk carriers with a cargo capacity of more than 18 tons and three container ships with a cargo capacity of 2400, 3000, and 4000 containers respectively, and plans to open the Leningrad and Murmansk routes within this year. and Vladivostok."

Zhao Wenmu nodded.

No one is better at the shipping business than the Rong family. It can be said that any port in the world is more courteous to the Rong family's ships.

This small company registered on the coast of the Black Sea, everyone thought it was just a small member of Rongren's huge fleet.

As everyone knows, it doesn't belong to Mr. Rong at all.

This business line is moving towards the inland of Big Brother along the sea route, railway network and road transportation line, and will eventually touch the real goal.

Big Brother Aerospace.

The seeds have been planted, just waiting for the flowers to bloom.

Leaving Odessa, Zhao Wenmu went straight to Leningrad, a city on the coast of the Baltic Sea.

This is a city that has witnessed history and miracles.

A once truly great city.

Hearing that a new luxury restaurant opened in the city, Zhao Wenmu happily went there. Although he was alone, he promised Zhao Jing that he would take good care of himself.

This is a mobile restaurant on the water, which is somewhat similar to the Danjiayu rafts seen in Xiangjiang and Macau.

It is also converted from a ship.

It's just that this new island restaurant is obviously much more luxurious and luxurious.

A casual meal here costs hundreds of dollars, which is equivalent to the annual expenditure of a family of several ordinary people in Su.

In this era when ordinary people can hardly afford soap and big Leba bread, the top caviar, red wine and steak can still be seen everywhere here.

There are rich and powerful families when talking and laughing, but there are no white people in dealings.

The arrival of Zhao Wenmu was warmly welcomed by the owner of the restaurant. This is also the first Chinese guest since the restaurant opened.

The short Prigoren invited Zhao Wenmu to the exclusive VIP room with a smile, and then offered the top-quality ingredients.

And cook it by himself.

Zhao Wenmu recognized this man the moment he saw him.

The royal chef of the future Emperor of Lisboa.

The cook who created Russia's largest mercenary organization.

He even directed a half-assed action on the side of the Qing emperor.

According to legend, only the great emperor and his friends from various countries can get the personal service of this cook.

Zhao Wenmu never thought that he could have this honor.

The banquet with Prigorren can be described as a feast for the host and guests. The two chatted happily over wine and talked about the world, and they felt like they hated seeing each other later.

Zhao Wenmu pointed out bluntly that the country of Su was too deep to return, and the accident might happen in the near future.

Prigorzhin expressed that the heroes agree with each other.

He picked up the wine glass and drank it down. He boldly said that the troubled times are the best time for a man to make contributions.

Not long after, a waiter hurried in and whispered something in his ear.

Prigorren nodded slightly.

"Zhao, you came just in time. A distinguished guest came to your door today. Come, let me introduce you. It will definitely be of great benefit to your future business development!"

As he spoke, he got up and pulled Zhao Wenmu out.

Zhao Wenmu readily agreed.

Guided by the waiter, the two soon came to another box.

Prigorren knocked lightly on the door, and a calm and powerful young man's voice came from inside.

The two pushed the door open, and both Zhao Wenmu and the short man opposite showed expressions of surprise.

"Zhao, this is Mr. Lisboa, Deputy Mayor of Leningrad!"

"Mr. Lisboa, this is Mr. Zhao from Huaguo. He runs a very large shipping company."

Prigorzhin introduced the two of them.

Zhao Wenmu hastily greeted the man across from him.

Two pairs of young and strong hands held together.

"Welcome to Leningrad, Mr. Zhao!"

...

The young and promising short man never showed any doubts or precautions towards Zhao Wenmu. On the contrary, he warmly invited Zhao Wenmu to have dinner with him.

Prigorzhin, a little fatter, did the cooking himself again.

It was a casual meeting, but both sides left a deep impression.

In the following decades, the two also met many times, and they gave each other a lot of help from strangers to friends, but eventually parted ways.

However, when they mentioned each other, they said in unison:
Lisboa/Zhao Wenmu is a man of great spirit, which always surprises people!
