Luo Zhiyuan returned to the embassy's residence. Soon after, Xie Wanting also came back with Nina and Chekov. Because she knew that Luo Zhiyuan was in the city, Xie Wanting did not go far, but instead visited several attractions in the city of Moscow, such as the famous Red Square and the Kremlin.

Xie Wanting walked into Luo Zhiyuan's room with a bunch of souvenirs and handicrafts. Seeing him smoking, he was silent. The room was in a mess. She wanted to scold him, but suddenly she saw that he was solemn and looked wrong. Then she calmed down and said softly: "Zhiyuan, what's wrong? Is it not going out to do things smoothly? Nina told me that Moscow's economy is now in a downturn, people are panic, and everyone is becoming very impetuous."

Luo Zhiyuan sighed lightly and nodded.

"Do you want Uncle Chen to help you..." Xie Wanting sat next to Luo Zhiyuan, "Why are there any difficulties? Can you tell me?"

Luo Zhiyuan let out a long sigh and Zhan Yan smiled, "I'm fine, Wanting, don't worry. When talking about cooperation, you always have to bargain. It's impossible to succeed in one go. The other party may have to consider it carefully. No matter what, today I'm at least connected with them."

Luo Zhiyuan is not pretentious. It’s not that he deliberately hides it from Xie Wanting, but that Xie Wanting basically knows nothing about business negotiations, capital operations, Russian styles, etc. If you talk to her, there is no benefit except to increase her unnecessary troubles, and she will destroy her interest in traveling.

"It's really okay?" Xie Wanting asked.

"It's okay, I'll continue to go tomorrow." Luo Zhiyuan smiled and waved.

"But tomorrow Chekov said he wanted to invite us to his house as a guest. Nina told me that Chekov's father is an official of the Moscow Municipal Government. He is also a celebrity in the local area and a powerful person. Otherwise, he would find a way to find him?" Xie Wanting looked at Luo Zhiyuan. She agreed on it without authorization, for fear that Luo Zhiyuan would be angry and felt a little nervous.

Luo Zhiyuan said, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow, but I have to wait for me to go to the Lada Factory first."

...

Sure enough, as Xie Wanting said, the Chekov family is a very powerful family in Moscow. The next morning, Chekov and Nina came to pick them up with a black extended luxury car. Not only did they have a driver, but they also followed a cool black bodyguard.

When Chekov heard that Luo Zhiyuan was going to the Rada Factory, he was a little surprised. However, he still ordered the driver to divert the route to the suburbs and rush to the Rada Factory.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Rada factory, Sergei had been waiting for a long time. Sergei was a little surprised to see Luo Zhiyuan get out of the car, and there was also a familiar young man named Chekov who was getting off.

"Mr. Luo..." Sergei walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Sergei, please tell me again, I want to see Mr. Ayev." Luo Zhiyuan shook hands with Sergei.

He turned around and smiled at Chekov and Nina, Xie Wanting and the other two, "You can wait for me for a while."

This time, Sergei went in quickly and came out quickly. He looked at Luo Zhiyuan with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness: "Sorry, Mr. Luo, Ayev doesn't want to see you again."

Luo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

He suddenly strode forward and walked into the factory area of ​​the Rada Factory. Sergei hurriedly followed. Chekov was worried that something might happen to Luo Zhiyuan, so he also ordered his bodyguard to follow in.

Luo Zhiyuan found Ayev's office with ease, knocked on the door, pushed it in, and then turned around and closed the door tightly.

Seeing that it was him, Ayev slapped the table with some annoyance and scolded him in Russian. The meaning was nothing more than asking Luo Zhiyuan to get out of here.

Luo Zhiyuan smiled softly, "Dear Mr. Ayev, I know you know Chinese and can speak a few Chinese. So, we opened the skylight and said something bright without hiding it."

Luo Zhiyuan discovered some basic situations of Ayev from Sergei. Since this person has been doing business with China for more than ten years, he has also visited China six times, the longest one, he stayed as a technical consultant for three months... In this way, if he doesn't understand Chinese, Luo Zhiyuan will never believe it.

Sure enough, Ayev smiled coldly and said coldly in a rude Chinese language: "I have told you that I am not interested in cooperating with you. Please leave. I am very busy."

Luo Zhiyuan stared at the aggressive Ayev and suddenly smiled.

He had already guessed why Ayev was unwilling to discuss cooperation. The Lada Factory is a state-owned enterprise in Russia. In any case, the government may not give up the enterprise and will sooner or later save it. This is one of them. As the manager of the Lada Factory, the depreciation or even abandonment of state-owned assets does not affect Ayev's personal interests. Moreover, judging from his age, he is basically facing a retirement situation. If this is the case, if there is no personal benefit, why should he bother to talk about the barter trade?

At least, it is insufficient motivation.

In fact, Luo Zhiyuan's judgment is quite different. The Moscows of this era are extremely realistic. Because of the unstable situation, various unspoken rules are rampant.

Ayev is ready to retire. The Rada Factory is influential and restrained by the general environment, and no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless. Since this is the case, he cannot take any risks - if he cannot do it, he must take responsibility, and he will not get any benefits if he does it. Instead, he will make wedding clothes for his successor.

Although people's hearts cross national boundaries, there is actually not much difference in their consideration of interests.

"Mr. Ayev, this cooperation will be beneficial to both of you and me." Since Luo Zhiyuan has seen through the hearts of the people, he is too lazy to beat around the bush. Sometimes, direct means are often better.

He took out a stack of dazzling US dollar cash from his carry-on bag, two thousand. This time he came to exchange for a total of 5,000 US dollars. In this year, he took out 2,000 US dollars at one time as a red envelope for the meeting gift. Perhaps only Luo Zhiyuan has the courage.

Although Ayev's face suddenly changed, he scolded, "What are you doing? Take it back!"

But Luo Zhiyuan had already seen the greed that flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Ayev, this is my little meaning. I just think it is to make friends with Mr. Ayev. There is an old saying in our country that everyone in the world is brothers. Even if we cannot cooperate, please don't dislike this meeting gift." Luo Zhiyuan pushed the US dollar in front of Ayev.

Ayev laughed, stood up suddenly, opened the drawer, quietly "sweeped" the US dollar in, and then waved his hand, "Please sit down."

...

Luo Zhiyuan still underestimated Ayev's greed. The red envelope he just gave was nothing more than an excuse to go down. After his later cooperation, he still hinted at a certain amount of kickbacks.

Based on the principle of not being able to bear to leave the child and not being able to trap the wolf, Luo Zhiyuan verbally agreed to give Ayev some personal rewards outside the contract. One percent of the supplies provided to the Russian side were Ayev's secret deductions. Seeing that Luo Zhiyuan was so cheerful, Ayev was overjoyed, and happily agreed to discuss the price of the Rada car.

Speaking of which, Luo Zhiyuan is not at a disadvantage. The lower the price of a car offset, the lower the cost, and all these pricing powers are in the hands of Ayev.

After more than an hour of secret negotiations, Ayev signed a cooperation framework agreement with Luo Zhiyuan on behalf of Rada Factory - this kind of barter cooperation agreement can only take effect after the goods provided by Luo Zhiyuan arrives. If the goods are not available, everything is empty talk. In other words, Ayev actually does not need to bear any responsibilities or risks. However, he has huge benefits for successful cooperation operation.

In the context of the current political chaos, economic crisis and social instability in the Russian society, Ayev is more looking forward to the success of cooperation than Luo Zhiyuan, so he can realize a wealth that is enough to retire and retire.

Outside the Rada factory, Chekov and others were anxious. Chekov was about to go in to check the situation, but saw Luo Zhiyuan and Ayev, the boss of the Rada factory, talk and laugh, and walked out side by side like old friends for many years. Ayev stood at the door and shook hands and said goodbye to Luo Zhiyuan. The corner of his eyes found Chekov, shocked, but he added some confidence in the success of the cooperation.
