Chapter 2627 Trip to the Bear Country
Chen Mo had a very pleasant time in the foreign language training classes these days.
Zhang Xiaolin's spoken English is also very good, very smooth.
This made Chen Mo sigh that this Qinghua school beauty was really an academic genius. At the beginning, her spoken English was still very immature, but after just one lesson, her progress was so rapid and smooth!
Natasha also spared no effort to teach him everything she knew, and gave him extra rewards from time to time, which greatly improved Chen Mo's initiative and enthusiasm in learning.
Originally, learning a foreign language was very boring and tedious, but with the help of these two people, and Chen Mo himself had hyperthymesia.
It only took Chen Mo a few days to learn most of the daily expressions.
For the rest of the time, Chen Mo didn't hesitate and just did what he was supposed to do.
I drove a truck and practiced my spoken English, and the days passed by.
In the past two days, the officially selected business delegation for the visit has been formed.
Led by Chen Mo and Zhuge Wan'er, there are more than 20 official personnel from the Tianxuanxing and Tianjixing factions, as well as Huo Qigang and his son, He Chaoling, and several foreign trade experts.
The reason for this configuration is that Chen Mo wants to train some of his own people.
Chen Mo found out about Ji Yimei's affairs. Even the best relationship could fall apart at any time. Instead of asking others for help, it is better to obey himself.
The visiting team of dozens of people is not large, but it is very impressive. There is one of the Five Elders leading the team, and under them are all elites from the Five Elders faction.
A day later, Chen Mo took an official plane from the Imperial Capital International Airport and flew to the first stop of his visit, Mo City in the Bear Country.
At this moment.
The plane was flying steadily at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Zhuge Wan'er rarely wore formal attire. The serious attire formed a sharp contrast with Zhuge Wan'er's girlish temperament, adding a bit of charm.
It was the first time that Chen Mo saw Zhuge Wan'er wearing high heels and black stockings, and he couldn't help but look down at her feet a few more times.
"What are you looking at?" Zhuge Wan'er asked awkwardly.
In fact, she had worn similar outfits on many occasions and always looked very generous, but it was the first time she wore it like this in front of Chen Mo.
She was a little afraid that Chen Mo wouldn't like it.
"Nothing, I just think you look good in formal clothes. There's a kind of serious beauty. What's that called on the Internet...Oh, an abstinent beauty, yes! Your outfit is very abstinent." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Really? But...even if you say that, I won't be happy!" Zhuge Wan'er's mouth was almost sticking out of her head from laughing.
Zhuge Wan'er then began to report on her work. She worked very seriously and looked even more abstinent.
"The first person we visited this time was Igor Ivanov Sechin, who is the leader of the Sechin family."
"In the past two years, the domestic and international situation and pattern of the Bear Country have undergone tremendous changes. In the past few decades, the Gutseyev family, which was once the largest family in the Bear Country, controlled most of the oil and natural gas and other energy industries in the Bear Country."
"But since the new emperor took office, because the Gutseyev family is very inclined towards the West, and even many family members have European and American nationality, the emperor has carried out drastic reforms."
"In this way, the Sechin family was chosen and fortunately became the replacement for the Gutseyev family. This is mainly because Igor and the emperor have a life-and-death friendship. The two have worked together for decades, and he is considered the emperor's greatest confidant."
"In addition, in addition to being the head of the energy industry in the Bear Country, Igor is also the president of the Bear Oil Company, the Minister of Natural Gas, and the head of the Foreign Trade Department.
In a word, as long as he agrees to cooperate with us, the foreign trade market of Mao Xiong will be completely opened to us in Da Xia!"
Chen Mo nodded: "I have heard of this old man, he is the leader of the eight Vajra of the Great Emperor, known as the Gray-robed Leader, the shadow of the Great Emperor.
Back then, he borrowed a plane to save the life of the Great Bear, regardless of the danger. Later, he also eliminated all the economic oligarchs of the Great Bear and centralized their management under the Great Bear, which was a great achievement. "
"If we take him down, our journey will be almost complete."
Huo Qigang came over with a smile and said, "Miss Wan'er, when doing business with Damao, sincerity is important. Do you know what Damao's sincerity is?"
Zhuge Wan'er replied as a matter of course: "It's easy. Price and integrity, to achieve a win-win cooperation for both parties!"
Chen Mo smiled.
Huo Qigang also smiled and shook his head repeatedly.
"Ms. Wan'er, you are still too young, and your thinking is too simple.
This is indeed true in China, but when you negotiate business like this in Russia, it only shows part of your sincerity. A large part of your sincerity is your drinking capacity!
If the price difference is not too big, they will think whoever drinks more with them is reliable and sincere, and they are willing to give the business to that person. "
"Is this true?" Zhuge Wan'er asked in disbelief.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "You are still too well protected by the King of Langya. In fact, it is also like this in many places in China, and it is euphemistically called "drinking table culture". Whoever drinks enough and who is willing to risk his life to accompany a gentleman and make him feel comfortable can get the order.
The drinking culture in the Bear Country is even more exaggerated than that in Daxia. In Daxia, people would urge others to drink, but here they would grab the wine and drink it. They are addicted to alcohol. During the war, vodka was regarded as a strategic material. "
"During the war that year, if the Russian soldiers did not have vodka, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by 30%. If they were given enough vodka, the Russian soldiers would shout "Ura" and rush forward without caring about their lives.
The way that Mao rewards his heroes is not to give them money, but to award them the "Lifetime Free Drinking Medal".
This medal is the highest honor for the Mao Bear people, the kind that no amount of money can replace.”
"My grandfather worked in the Bear Country for a while. At that time, the Bear Country implemented a prohibition on alcohol because there were too many ridiculous things happening due to drinking. At that time, the Russians couldn't buy alcohol and could even drink industrial alcohol or even diesel fuel. Some people who couldn't stand the alcohol addiction drank antifreeze."
Zhuge Wan'er asked in confusion: "Why drink antifreeze?"
Chen Mo: "Because it also contains alcohol!"
Zhuge Wan'er: "..."
Chen Mo: "In the eyes of Mao Zedong, beer is just an ordinary drink, or even water. Mao Zedong men who have been unruly all their lives have extremely short lives, because long-term alcoholism has caused the average life expectancy of Mao Zedong men to drop from 68 to 58 years old.
If this trend continues, there will be signs of extinction.
Therefore, in order to make the Russians quit drinking, the government issued a prohibition on alcohol. This made the Russians very miserable. They were greedy and would put any liquid containing alcohol into their mouths, such as antifreeze, industrial alcohol, perfume, etc.
At that time, 60 people drank the shower gel collectively, and all of them died in the end. The reason behind it was that the shower gel contained a trace of alcohol. "
Huo Qigang laughed and said, "Before this trip, I practiced my drinking capacity for a long time! Now I can drink a pound of vodka!"
Zhuge Wan'er's mouth twitched as she said, "I...I vomit after drinking two bottles of beer. What should I do?"
"Pfft~~~~"
Chen Mo laughed like a pig.
"What are you laughing at? How much can you drink?" Zhuge Wan'er said with a blushing face.
Chen Mo stretched out a finger.
"Pfft~~~~ You still have the nerve to criticize me? It's just one bottle?"
