"You just got kissed on the butt of a brown bear!"
Ji Ma gestured his middle finger angrily, then sighed and said with a grimace, "I used to be just a hunter. , a hunter who has been working for half a year. Although I have learned a lot at Hongqi Forest Farm thanks to your help, managing two such large camps has long been beyond my ability.”
"You can let..."
"Let Arili manage it? Or let Misha come?"
Jima took off the cigarette from his ear and put it under his nose After sniffing it, he said with a trace of nostalgia in his tone, "The furthest city Alili and Misha have ever been to in their lives is to Kazan for school. I still remember the first time I took these two idiots on the subway. These two primitive people made a joke, so which one of them do you think can manage such two large camps?
Not to mention this, this time Aurora sent it all at once? The number of guests has already frightened us. If nothing goes wrong this time, it is not difficult to imagine that there will be only a lot more tourists this coming winter. What about next year? With our laymen, no matter how hard we try? , there will be an accident one day."
"What on earth do you want to say?" Wei Ran became more and more confused.
"Most of the equity in this camp belongs to Hongqi Forestry Farm"
Jima threw the cigarette in his hand on the table, "But it is obvious that whether Culp or Dali Teacher Ya, and even Teachers Gorman and Anna who came with us to familiarize themselves with the flight route, they are definitely not interested in managing the two camps.
Even half a year ago, Culp had already told me. , they just need to get back the money they paid to buy these two camps. These rich bastards don't even care about the profits here." Seeing that Wei Ran didn't speak, Ji Ma took a deep breath and continued. Said, "So Victor, I have discussed with Alili and Misha, we are going to take out 5% of the equity of these two camps and find professional people to run it. We hope you can recommend a professional enough People, we will take over the management of these two camps starting next year.”
“Do you have a candidate?” Although Wei Ran asked this, he had already guessed the answer in his heart.
"The best result is undoubtedly Ms. Zhou. After all, she is also one of the shareholders of this camp."
Jima looked at Wei Ran and said seriously, "Vic Duo, I hope you can help persuade Ms. Zhou to take over the management and operation of these two camps."
"You didn't go to my aunt to talk directly?"
"Can we? The amount taken out is only 5% at most."
Jima said with a grimace, "I heard Mr. Nicholas talk about the time when Ms. Zhou and Teacher Dalia negotiated the Time Film Studio. Given the situation at that time, even Teacher Dalia was no match for her. If I went to talk to her, I might even have to sell myself to work for her travel agency."
Wei Ran burst into laughter upon hearing this. Last time about Time Film StudioThe negotiations made his aunt famous in one battle. Even Teacher Dalia praised her endlessly at that time.
"How about it? Can you help us with this?" Ji Ma looked at Wei Ran eagerly.
Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, took a sip from the teacup, and said with a smile, "Jima, there is actually a better candidate."
"A better candidate?" Ji Ma looked at Wei Ran doubtfully.
"How about Aurora?"
Wei Ran put down his teacup and explained, "She will graduate next summer, majoring in tourism management, and her abilities are as good as yours." I also saw that the number of tourists sent this time is definitely not her limit, but 5% of the equity is definitely a big enough temptation for her."
"How can I get her. Forgot!"
Ji Ma slapped his forehead hard, but then asked worriedly, "But can she manage two such large camps?"
"Have you forgotten who her mother is?"
Wei Ran continued to remind, "Even if she has no experience at first, there will definitely be someone to help her, right? And the most important thing is, soon She is coming over soon. You can talk to her in person and ask her what she thinks. As long as she is interested, it is definitely more appropriate for her to convince my aunt than for me to go."
< p> "But will she be interested in our little place?" Ji Ma frowned and began to set the threshold for himself."If that little thing was not interested in this place, he would never have brought so many people here." Wei Ran said with certainty, he was too fond of Suisui, the devilish little money-lover. Understand that she is almost the pickiest "tour group" in my aunt's travel agency.
"Victor, you have done me a big favor!" Jima said, personally picking up the purple clay teapot that he got from nowhere, and filling Wei Ran's cup with fragrant tea. .
“One more thing to remind you”
Wei Ran symbolically held the cup and said, “Whether it’s me or Aurora, we are with you, Arili, and Misha. We are all friends, so..."
"I understand!"
Ji Ma took over the topic before the former finished speaking, and said in a relaxed tone, "Victor , I really just want my friends to live a better life, so there is no deception or exploitation. I came to talk to you for these reasons, just to find someone I can trust.”
< p>"She won't let you down"Wei Ran confidently made a guarantee for Suisui. He pushed Suisui out, and naturally he had his own considerations.
If Auntie, an "elder", is allowed to participate in the management of this camp, its nature will change in the future, but if Suisui is allowed to come, it will be another matter. We are just friends starting a business together, and there won’t be too many other elements involved.
After the private chat between the two ended, Wei Ran and Ji Ma turned the topic to the itinerary plan for this batch of courses. According to Suisui's request, these more than eightyThe No. 1 people will be divided into two batches, and they will be active in two camps respectively, and there will be a rotation in the middle.
To put it simply, people who go to the hot springs basically go there for photography, hunting experience and the rare aurora, while most people who come to the abandoned military base come to experience gun shooting.
For this reason, Jima and Alili even hired a few friends with military service experience to help watch the scene to ensure safety. They could also teach some tactical moves that looked fancy but were actually useless.
The group stayed at the abandoned military base for a long time, until the sky outside the window completely darkened. Then Gorman took the silly dog with whom he had a surprisingly good relationship and greeted Wei Ran and Ji. Ma flew the plane into the sky in the darkness and returned to Inta over the Ural Mountains.
After waiting all night in the hotel arranged by Alili in advance, early the next morning, Suisui, who was as arrogant as a hilltop man carrying a handle, also brought two friends from two families. The tour guide seconded by my parents' travel agency and a large wave of tourists landed at Inta Airport.
Allowing this little thing to give him an overly enthusiastic sloth hug, Wei Ran waited until the other person put his feet on the ground again, then asked helplessly in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" What?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Suisui straddled Wei Ran's arm and whispered, "There are two fools in the group who want to chase me. Be honest and act as a shield for me, you are so mean."
"Which two idiots are you?" Wei Ran asked happily.
"The one wearing the yellow down jacket and the one with dyed blue hair are the two famous Neptunes in our school." Suisui finished speaking with a look of disgust, and immediately raised it and kept it in her hand. The red loudspeaker greeted the tour guides she brought with them and their tourists to queue up and wait in groups.
With Wei Ran's advance notice, Ji Ma and others deliberately did not go up to help. They secretly observed Suisui's arrangements and evaluated how to let this little girl who has not yet graduated to help them operate two buildings in the future. Possibility of camping.
Fortunately, Suisui, who had no idea that a great responsibility was about to be assigned to her, lived up to expectations. In less than ten minutes, she divided the eighty-odd people into two equal teams and eight groups. By the way, the order of boarding was also arranged.
It was also during this period that Wei Ran unexpectedly saw acquaintances in the tour group. They were Chen Guangling, who taught him how to play the piano, and his son Chen Luoxiang, as well as the junior high school student She was Chen Guangling’s wife whom she had briefly met when we were still young.
"Teacher Chen, why are you here too?" Wei Ran hurried up to say hello.
"Luo Xiang said that classmate Suisui organized a tour group. It happens that there are people from all over the country, and classmate Suisui's group is quite cheap, so I just came over to see what's new."
< p> Chen Guangling said this with an angry look on his face, and then asked expectantly, "Wei Ran, is it true that Suisui said you can shoot guns here? Can you shoot any kind of gun? Do you have an AK?"Meet this father and sonThe two of them looked at themselves expectantly, and Wei Ran nodded quickly while suppressing a smile, "Yes, there must be!"
"Senior brother, can you really kill the deer here?"
< p> Chen Luoxiang, who is about the same age as Suisui, asked while wiping his fogged glasses. As for the traditional title in his mouth, it was given by his father Chen Guangling when he was learning piano in the first month."Don't worry!"
Wei Ran patted his chest and made a promise, "No one else dares to say it, but I will definitely let you hunt a deer back when the time comes!"
"Dad, do you think reindeer antlers can be used to burn antler cream?" Chen Luoxiang asked a question that made no sense to anyone.
Looking at the father and son who began to discuss in a low voice how to burn the deer antler cream, Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, but Chen Guangling’s wife looked unfazed and gently handed over some small gifts she had brought. Gave it to Wei Ran.
While they were chatting here, the tour guides and hunters had already taken the first four groups of passengers to board the four An-2 planes waiting side by side.
Looking at the passengers talking and laughing, as well as the three teachers standing at the door of the cabin who were both waiters and pilots, Wei Ran couldn't help but want to laugh, and then he appeared inexplicably. There was a sense of sadness that I didn’t know where it came from.
Those three teachers were once serious KGB members. Even if they are described as dragons and phoenixes among people, it may not be an exaggeration. However, more than thirty years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, these once belonged to a certain red The pride of totalitarianism has been reduced to the point of "taxiing" in old airplanes of the same era with smiling faces.
Of course there are favors from Ji Ma or myself, but if it hadn’t been for that drastic change, how could neither I nor Ji Ma have the chance to talk to these people, and how could they let the other party Are you willing to waste your time by doing this kind of thing just for your own sake?
They should be like 007 in the movie, flying helicopters and fighter jets to fight wits and courage. They should wear decent suits, hold exquisite red wine glasses, and talk and laugh in a bustling city. Extract important information.
Rather than come to this cold and freezing place like now, Inta would not just change into the Soviet Air Force uniform and stand in the old security just because of Suisui's sudden imagination. 2 Next to the plane, he stroked the remaining Soviet Air Force logo on the fuselage with one hand, and greeted the tourists who were looking for a taste of the Soviet Union with a smile.
Is it funny? Maybe it's funny? Sad? Maybe?
Wei Ran looked at the three dignified teachers in silence, and finally could only sigh. What about the KGB, which was once frightening and almost equated with terror?
After the solid backing fell apart, their remaining power may only exist in legends. But they themselves had already changed into a body of mud and wood twenty or thirty years ago.
