Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Illya knew Yang Yukun not because of his identity as the god of wine.

In addition to being the god of wine, Yang Yukun is also a good friend of the Mao Kingdom.

The Great Mao Kingdom reactivated the Order of St. Andrew and established the Medal of Friendship for him.

Later, I met Bakayev, and I heard him talk about Yang Yukun so often that my ears were almost callused.

"Yes, we are all good friends." Yang Yukun was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The fact that he was a good friend of the Mao Kingdom was completely unexpected.

Didn't he borrow 2.5 billion rubles from a bank in the Bear Country back then, and exchange the money for gold, intending to make a fortune by taking advantage of the devaluation of the ruble?

When the Soviet Union collapsed, he used the money borrowed from the Soviet Union's bank to acquire many factories, mines, enterprises, technologies, patents, equipment and other things.

After the collapse of the Bear Country, the Big Bear Country inherited the Bear Country's debts. The money he borrowed from the Bear Country Bank was naturally also inherited by the Big Bear Country.

According to his original plan, he would use rice gold to repay the loan when the ruble depreciated to its lowest point.

By that time, only more than 600,000 MiGolds would be needed to repay the 2.5 billion ruble loan.

That's what India did. It used only more than 3 million US dollars to repay a debt of more than 10 billion rubles, but later it had to deal with Russia a lot.

After careful consideration, Yang Yukun finally decided not to do so. After all, he still had to do business in Damao, and his Pangu Group was located in Damao.

If he really dares to do so, the Russian Empire will definitely make things difficult for him, unless he never comes to the Russian Empire or does business in the Russian Empire in the future.

It's not worth it to let the Russian country worry about it for such a small amount of money.

So in January this year, he paid off the 2.5 billion rubles he had borrowed that year in one lump sum.

Borrow 2.5 billion rubles and repay 2 billion MiGold.

Unexpectedly, this move would earn him the friendship of the Great Mao Kingdom.

For the Great Mao Kingdom at that time, his repayment of the debt with rice and gold was like timely help.

To thank him, the country of Mao restarted the Order of St. Andrew and established the Medal of Friendship for him. He also became the first person in the world to receive the Order of St. Andrew and the Medal of Friendship from the country of Mao.

"God of Wine, just order whatever you want. It's my treat. Don't be polite to me."

"Ladies first, let Illya order."

"it is good."

Illya took the menu and ordered some of the restaurant's specialties based on the portions for three people.

"Add a few more dishes. The god of wine has a big appetite."

Bakayev knew how big Yang Yukun's appetite was. The dishes Ilya ordered were enough for three ordinary people, but not enough for Yang Yukun, so he took the menu and ordered some more.

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "People who practice martial arts have bigger appetites."

The dishes came up one after another, and Bakayev ordered two more bottles of vodka. The three of them ate and chatted.

During the conversation, Yang Yukun also had a general understanding of Illya's identity. She was a young dancer with considerable fame in the Mao country. Her father was a senior officer in the Mao country's military, her mother was the chief dancer of the Wuhai Port Grand Theater, her grandfather was a former marshal of the Mao bear country, and her uncle was also a senior officer in the Mao country's military.

This family background is indeed no worse than Bakayev's.

After dinner, Yang Yukun no longer acted as a light bulb for Bakayev and Ilya. He strolled alone on the Red Square for a while and then returned to the hotel.

After washing up, Yang Yukun called his wife and children who were far away at home. They talked for more than an hour before hanging up.

The next morning, Yang Yukun heard a knock on the door and thought it was Bakayev coming to see him. When he opened the door, it turned out to be not Bakayev, but a middle-aged woman he had never seen before and two burly men who looked like bodyguards.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

"you are?"

"I'm Mr. Boris' assistant. Mr. Boris learned that you were coming to the Five Seas Port, so he asked us to come over and invite you to have breakfast with him."

"Wait a few minutes, I'll change my clothes, come in and sit for a while."

"Mr. Yang, we'll be waiting for you outside the door."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun changed his clothes, then followed the person who came to the hotel to pick him up, went downstairs and got into the car, and went to the Kremlin.

He had previously used 2 billion euros to repay the 2.5 billion rubles he had borrowed that year, and thus became friends with Boris.

After learning of his arrival at the Port of the Five Seas, Boris specially invited him to have breakfast with him in the Kremlin.

After having breakfast with Boris, Yang Yukun left the Kremlin and found a restaurant to eat something to fill his stomach.

Next, Yang Yukun planned to visit other old friends in the Five Seas Port, including Natasha and Natalia, as well as Valery, Pollock, Ajelina and others.

When Yang Yukun arrived at Valery's house, he learned that Natalia had returned to the capital of Xia State yesterday afternoon.

Natalia is now a Russian teacher at the Russian Department of Imperial Capital Foreign Languages ​​College. After the summer vacation, she returned to the Five Seas Port of Damao to visit her family. School is about to start, so she flew back to Xiaguo yesterday. Unfortunately, Natasha was not at home either. She and Pollock took their children to Xiaguo with Natalia.

Natasha is now a full-time housewife. She quit her job and stays at home to take care of her husband and children.

If I had known that they were going back to Xia Country yesterday, I would have let them go back on Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, or Mao Ditu’s private plane.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. This is the tea Natalia brought me from Xia Country. She said it is the most authentic West Lake Longjing in Xia Country. I can't tell the difference. You can try it."

"Good tea, it is indeed authentic Shifeng Longjing."

"Pollock said he was going to the Xia Kingdom's capital to meet you for a drink, but I didn't expect you to come to the Five Seas Port."

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I even brought him two jars of good wine."

"I will give him the wine when he comes back from Xia Country. Don't worry, I won't drink it secretly."

"Where are old Uncle Valery and the others?"

"My father went to work. He was due to retire in a month. My mother and my husband took their son to the streets."

The timing of Yang Yukun's visit this time was indeed a coincidence. Yesterday, his sister Natalia was going back to Xia Country, so Valery took a few days off to come back and see his sister off.

Today is the last day of his vacation and he will return to the army this afternoon.

"Aunt Maria and the others are back." At this time, a car stopped in Valery's yard.

Looking through the window, Yang Yukun discovered that the people getting out of the car were Valery's mother, wife and children.

The little guy ran in first and was stunned for a moment when he saw Yang Yukun.

"Boy, don't you recognize me?"

"Uncle Kun, you are here at the Five Seas Port!"

"Good job, kid. You even know your uncle Kun. Come here and let Uncle Kun see you. You've grown so tall."

"Uncle Kun, when did you come to the Five Seas Port?"

"yesterday."

Yang Yukun patted the little guy on the head. This boy was Valery’s son, little Valery. However, at the age of eleven, he was over 1.7 meters tall and looked tall and strong.

"Aunt Maria, sister-in-law." Yang Yukun greeted Maria and Ziberstein who came in.

"Xiaokun!"

Maria and Ziberstein were quite surprised to see Yang Yukun in their house.

"I came to the Five Seas Port on a business trip, and I came to see you guys."

"Xiao Kun, long time no see, welcome to our home, thank you for coming to see us."

"Aunt Maria, you are so polite."

Yang Yukun chatted with Maria for more than two hours, mostly with Maria asking questions and him answering them, until Valery called them to have lunch.

In the afternoon, when old Valery came back from work, Yang Yukun played a few games of chess with the old man.

Old Valery can play Xia chess, and he is quite good at it. He learned it when he was helping Xia.

"Grandpa, Uncle Kun, it's time for dinner. My dad has prepared dinner." Little Valery ran to the study to call old Valery and Yang Yukun to have dinner.

"Xiao Kun, let's go, have dinner first, and then we'll continue."

"it is good."

"Come and have a few drinks with me later."

"no problem."

Little Valery said, "Uncle Kun, I'll have a few drinks with you later."

"Children can't drink."

"Uncle Kun, I can drink a lot. I can drink a pound of vodka."

"You can't drink that either. You're still so young and your organs haven't matured yet. Be careful not to burn your organs if you drink such strong alcohol. You can only drink it when you're older."

"Ok."

After arriving at the restaurant and sitting down, Yang Yukun accompanied old Valery and Maria, Valery and Ziberstein for a few drinks.

After dinner, Yang Yukun played two games of chess with old Valery.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I said goodbye and went back to the hotel. (End of this chapter)
