Chapter 3
Colored arctic fox refers to the mutant species of fur color that appear in arctic foxes, such as shadow fox, arctic pearl fox, arctic sapphire fox, arctic platinum fox, etc., collectively referred to as colored arctic fox.In particular, the light blue arctic fox is regarded as a treasure among arctic foxes.Their fur not only maintains the good warmth of arctic foxes, but also has very prominent features, so it is very popular and sought after by those noble ladies in the international fur market.However, the number of wild colored arctic foxes is very rare, and most of the colored arctic fox fur on the market comes from artificially raised arctic foxes.Fang Mingyuan also knew about it by accident in his previous life.
"Then Mr. Fang will be disappointed." The voice came from behind, Fang Mingyuan turned his head to look over, and saw a burly Russian man standing not far away like a black bear, exhaling white breath and The snowflakes flying all over the sky are mixed together.
The escort arranged by Michaloy immediately went up to him and separated him from Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan could see clearly that the man seemed to have shown his ID, and several escorts stepped aside again.
Khodokovsky whispered to Fang Mingyuan in surprise: "He said he is the deputy general manager of ALROSA, the general manager of the Yakut Republic branch, and his name is Nikolaisky. He came here specially to see you and Ms. Aso Yes." The vice president of ALROSA is quite a high-ranking official for an ordinary Soviet person like him.Khodokovsky felt that it was worthwhile for him to come out with Fang Mingyuan. Not only could he get a considerable reward, but it also opened his eyes.
Nikolasky let out a few breaths. He really couldn't wait until tomorrow, and Fang Mingyuan and the others would be accompanied by Michal Royle tomorrow, so it might be very inconvenient to talk in private.Nikolasky understands that he is racing against time. If he can't make arrangements before Waldseef cleans him up, I'm afraid he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Given his status in Yakutsk, it was not difficult to find out where Fang Mingyuan and the others were staying, but when he drove there in a hurry, the staff in the hotel told him that Fang Mingyuan and the others People, have gone shopping.
Although he has stayed in Yakutsk for many years, it is not easy to find a few people in such weather.If it weren't for the small city of Yakutsk itself, and Fang Mingyuan and his party were too conspicuous in the crowd, Nikolasky, who arrived at the hotel one step late, would definitely not be able to follow their footsteps like now.
"Nikolaski? The vice president of Alrosa? The general manager of the branch?" Fang Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Didn't he already greet Michaloy? He will visit Alrosa tomorrow. Why did he run over by himself again.Is it a chance encounter?And this Nikolasky did it on purpose?It's fine if you meet by chance, but if you do it on purpose, there's a lot to say here.
When Nikolasky came in front of Fang Mingyuan, he couldn't help being taken aback. Although he had heard that Fang Mingyuan was young, he didn't expect that he was so young that he looked like a child from his own country.Aso Xiangyue also noticed Nikolasky's arrival, put down the hat in her hand, and came over.
"Welcome to Yakutsk, both of you. Let me introduce myself. I am Nikolasky from the Yakutsk branch of ALROSA. I went to visit the company, and I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the two of you here." Nikolasky stretched out his hand proactively.Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue shook hands with him.
Nikolasky said with a smile: "If Mr. Fang wants colorful arctic fox fur, they won't have it here." In the current Soviet Union, arctic fox breeding technology is not yet mature, and most of these furs come from wild arctic foxes. The probability of colorful arctic foxes is naturally low. Once they appear, they will naturally be bought by the relevant departments and sent to the commercial system for officials. Naturally, it is impossible to appear in such street shops.
Seeing the regretful expression on Aso Xiangyue's face, Nikolasky said with a smile: "If the two of you really want it, then I will cover it with me. If there are too many, I dare not say, two or three furs are still It can be found." He has worked in the Republic of Yakutia for many years and has a rich network of contacts, so he is sure to collect a few.
"Then I would be very grateful to Mr. Nikolaisky," Fang Mingyuan complied smoothly.As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to show gallantry, it's either treacherous or slippery.Nikolasky approached so proactively, probably because he wanted something.However, it's good to ask for something. He has something to ask for, so it's better for him to ask for the purchase of rough diamonds.It would be a pity if Nikolasky had nothing to ask for.
Part of the stone in Nikolasky's heart fell to the ground. Since the other party did not reject his kindness, it was at least a good start.But at the same time, he also made sure of one thing. It seemed that Fang Mingyuan's status was higher than that of Aso Xiangyue as he had consulted. At least he could make decisions for Aso Xiangyue.In this way, Nicholassky felt a little more at ease. Young people, they mostly do things according to their preferences, like to fight injustices, and have little social experience. It is easier to convince Fang Mingyuan by themselves than to convince Aso Xiangyue.
Next, Nikolasky joined Fang Mingyuan and his party. He had worked in Yakutsk for many years and was a high-ranking cadre. Naturally, he had a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Soviet Union than ordinary people. He and Fang Mingyuan, Aso When Xiangyue chatted, there was more substance.Fang Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and proposed to purchase rough diamonds from ALROSA Company. When Nicholassky heard this, he felt more confident. Naturally, he assured Fang Mingyuan that he would not let Fang Mingyuan and the others return empty-handed.
Aso Xiangyue laughed secretly in her heart, she could see that Nicholas must have something to ask for, so she took care of everything like this, and wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan and herself, but This deputy general manager of ALROSA company obviously found the wrong breakthrough. It is by no means easy to take advantage of Fang Mingyuan.
Moreover, Nikolasky probably just thought that Fang Mingyuan was planning to buy some rough diamonds to take back to the country, but he did not expect that the purchase that Fang Mingyuan said would cost hundreds of millions of rubles.
The wind and snow on the street became heavier. Fang Mingyuan and the others, who had been out for a long time, also felt a little cold in their hands and feet, so everyone discussed to go back.
"Would you like to try the traditional food of the Republic of Yakutia?" Nikolasky said with a smile, "I know an authentic traditional restaurant, and I wonder if the two of you would like to visit it tonight."
"Traditional food?" Fang Mingyuan glanced at the translator Khodokovsky in surprise. Could it be that there is something unique about the food in the Republic of Yakutia?
Khodokovsky whispered in Fang Mingyuan's ear: "Mr. Nikolaisky probably said it was horse meat..." It turned out that because the Republic of Yakutia is located around the Arctic Circle, the environment is very harsh.Especially before the invention of modern transportation, the transportation here was even more inconvenient, so when it comes to food, the tradition of Yakutia is to use everything available.At a Yakut wedding, the best food served to the bride is a boiled horse's head, and some horse meat sausages
As for the daily food, it is even more rudimentary. In the years of food shortage, they even cut the inner bark of spruce, fir and other trees into thin pieces, or grind them into powder to make porridge or bread. , and then eat it with milk and dried fish meal.Up to now, although the transportation conditions in the Republic of Yakutia have improved and food is much more abundant, horse meat is still an important material on restaurant menus.
"Horse meat!" Fang Mingyuan murmured a little. He had never eaten this thing before, but it probably wouldn't be very delicious. Otherwise, why are there so few dishes that use horse meat as raw material in Huaxiamei's recipes.Aso Xiangyue was also a little hesitant. Horses are no more edible livestock than pigs, cows, and sheep. Horses have always been friends of humans.Want horse meat?This is never thought of.
Nikolasky also noticed that Fang Mingyuan and the others were hesitant, so he changed his mind and said, "That's fine, I'll find a western restaurant tonight." Everyone laughed and passed away.
After returning to the hotel, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, and everyone went back to their respective rooms. Nikolasky followed Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue to Fang Mingyuan's room, and everyone sat down as guest and host.Khodokovsky also sat behind Fang Mingyuan.Chen Zhong sat in the corner of the room.
Nikolasky glanced at Khodokovsky and winked at Fang Mingyuan. Only then did Fang Mingyuan notice that Nikolaski's eyes fell on Khodokovsky. He was a little unclear why, without Khodokovsky, Then there must be other people to come to do the translation. Neither I nor Aso Xiangyue know Russian.
"Mr. Fang, Ms. Aso, next, we can formally talk about the purchase of rough diamonds." Nikolasky suddenly said in English.Still a typical London accent.Fang Mingyuan was startled, and then he realized that Nikolaisky meant to let Khodokovsky avoid him.
"Khodokovsky, since Mr. Nicholas can speak English, you can go back to your room and rest." Fang Mingyuan sent Khodokovsky out of the room.
"Mr. Nikolasky, you speak English very well," Aso Xiangyue said with a smile.
"My English teacher once studied in London. So I can barely hear the words." Nikolasky's smile was a bit smug. e
