By the time Li He left the hostel, Ding Shiping and the others had already returned. "The French, German, and Korean embassies are all full of people and cars. It's quite lively."
"Let's go." Li He thought about it carefully. This was both a good and a bad thing. There were many foreigners, and they could take advantage of the situation, but on the other hand, it would make it more difficult for them to reap any benefits.
When the car passed by a street, they finally found a place with people and asked to get out to take a look.
Ding Shiping parked the car and saw a caravan next to it. He shouted at Belarus, and the few people he brought over surrounded Li He.
He explained to Li He, "This is a free market. When you see a caravan, you know there are Gypsies. None of them are kind."
"It's not that serious, is it?" Li He was puzzled.
Jiang Baojian said, "The main occupations of the Gypsies here are begging, stealing, robbing, fortune-telling, and singing. As long as they smell alcohol on them, we have to avoid them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person tried to squeeze towards them, but Ivanov grabbed his wrist and threw him to the ground.
Ivanov grumbled at the person, and the person who was thrown to the ground looked at the four or five people beside Li He. Without saying a word, he got up and ran away.
Li He walked in and saw a group of young men with Beijing accents setting up a stall against the wall.
The group of young men saw him and didn't think much of him until Li He came up to him. He smiled and asked, "Bro, are you from China?"
At the same time, he glanced at Ivanov, who was glaring at him.
Li He pushed Ivanov and Ding Shiping away. He looked at the silk stockings and clothes on the stall and asked, "There are quite a lot of China people here."
He looked around carefully. Almost all the stalls were China people, and there were at least twenty or thirty of them.
"Hello, I'm Tang Fei." The young man shook hands with Li He. He was tall and had big eyes. He pointed into the distance and said, "They're all from China. There's nothing we can do about it. There are too many people in China. Even if one of them smelled blood, they'd all rush over. Did you also apply for a tourist visa? "
"Tourist visa?" Li He didn't understand.
Tang Fei smiled and said, "Looks like you're not Master Dao? Hungary is visa-free, so all the Chinese from Eastern and Central Europe come through Hungary. Do you understand now? "
Just as Li He was about to ask something, a few local Czech girls came to Tang Fei's stall and gestured with their hands, taking a few pairs of pants. Tang Fei, on the other hand, just kept typing on the calculator.
After the customer left, Li He said, "Business seems to be good."
Tang Fei said, "We're nothing compared to them. Most of the Chinese who come here have made a fortune. The ones who make a lot of money are the ones who rent trains to transport goods. They can't just set up stalls like us. It's too chaotic here. It's impossible to do business in peace. Robbers dare to use knives and guns. There are also thieves and the police. The Arabs who monopolize the trade here are not easy to deal with. Nine out of ten people who do business here have been robbed or blackmailed by the police. The police here are so poor that they've learned to rub their index and middle fingers with their thumbs. Bribes are open to the public. Cigarettes, stockings, royal jelly, and they often think of ways to conduct body searches. You have to pay to rent a house, apply for residency, register a company, and apply for trade rights. "
For the Chinese, as long as there was money to be made, they would not hesitate to risk their lives. They would even dare to enter a dragon's pool or a tiger's den.
He complained for a long time.
"Is it that serious?" Li He's heart skipped a beat.
Tang Fei said, "Our status here is not even as high as the gypsies. They will definitely stop us. Besides, they are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. What can they do if they don't make money? Didn't you see that the toilet paper in the wastepaper basket is all newspapers? "
"The economic situation here is not good." Li He listened to this witty remark and smiled.
"But there are benefits to giving money. Whether we enter the customs from Hungary or take a bus, we can travel unimpeded because everything can be solved with money. Anything can be negotiated. For example, if we take a bus from Budapest or here, the normal fare is 100 US dollars. But if we have a good relationship with the train attendants, we can just throw 20 to 30 US dollars and we don't have to worry about tickets being checked. And if we pay 10 US dollars to enter the customs, the goods can be exempted from inspection. "
Ding Shiping said, "It's our Chinese's fault. We've spoiled these people too much. Their appetites are getting bigger and bigger."
Tang Fei said, "You don't want to give? Then I'm sorry, please come with us. Tough? Tough doesn't work here. "
"Thank you for letting me know so much. If you didn't tell me, there are some things I wouldn't have known." Li He politely thanked him again.
"It's fine. I'm just looking for someone to complain to." Tang Fei asked curiously, "Why are you guys here?"
He could tell that the five of them were not simple people and had the intention to curry favor with them.
Li He said, "I'm here to pick up scraps. If there's anything good, I'll take it back."
He did not hide his words and was not worried that the foreigners here would hear him.
Tang Fei was stunned and then asked excitedly, "You're in the car smuggling business?"
Li He was also stunned. "There are car smuggling businesses here?"
"There are many. But most of them are second-hand cars. "
Li He shook his head. "We're not in this business. I'll tell you the truth. We mainly want to take a look at some bankrupt factories and want to take some production lines back."
"So you're here to buy equipment?" Tang Fei was a little disappointed.
"You can think of it that way."
Tang Fei said indifferently, "That's not a big deal. In this damn place, as long as money is spent properly, there's nothing that can't be done. To put it in an exaggerated way, they're closer to money than their own father. They might even sell the Presidential Palace to you. "
"That's the truth." Li He did not feel that it was an exaggeration at all. It would only be exaggerated in the later stages. No one would believe it if he said it out loud. The Soviet Union was a world-class country. Before its social policies, constitutional provisions, and economic system were announced, it actually had to consult the Americans first. It was really f * cking blinding!
"How much money can you make here in a month?" Li He had the idea of recruiting him. This person had some foresight.
"No matter what, it's better than messing around in the country." Tang Fei was reluctant to reveal his actual income.
Li He smiled and said, "I'm still lacking people here. Are you interested in coming over and helping me? I'll give you 5,000 USD a month."
“5000？ Really? "
"This salary is only limited to Eastern Europe. If you're in the country in the future, I won't be able to give you such a high salary. Think about it again. If you're done, come find me. You're welcome anytime. "Li He saw that he had doubts, so he didn't say much. He said to Jiang Baojian," Leave an address. "
"For you." Jiang Baojian wrote on the paper and handed it to Tang Fei.
"Thank you." Tang Fei took it. Seeing the name of Joseph Hotel, he knew that this was the best hotel in Czechoslovakia.
When Li He and the others returned to the hotel, Tie Hefei was already waiting in the lobby with two people.
Tie Hefei pointed to a bald fat man and said, "This is the president of the union, Mr. Franca. “
He secretly raised a finger at Ding Shiping.
Ding Shiping understood. This meant that this person was brought here for 1,000 USD.
