Chapter 211: Set Off!
The next day!
The weather in the northeast is getting colder and colder. The wind is howling outside and there are few pedestrians on the street!
It snowed again in Liaoyang last night. A foot of snow is not considered a blizzard here, but it makes it difficult to walk on the road.
Li Yi and Wei Sanpao slept well last night. Although the temperature outside has dropped to more than 30 degrees below zero, there is heating here, and the house is warm as spring. It is really a world of ice and fire inside and outside!
The place to live was arranged by Qi Rong. Although it is not a high-end hotel, the conditions are very good. Not only is the room area large, but the decoration is also very luxurious.
It will be a bit like a luxurious club in the future!
Li Yi woke up at around seven in the morning, and Wei Sanpao woke up at around eight. After waiting for the two to wake up, they found that the workers in the yard below had already started loading the car.
After washing up, Li Yi took Wei Sanpao to find Qi Rong.
At this time, Qi Rong was counting the goods in a car!
After seeing Li Yi coming, he smiled and said, "Good boy, you can drink quite well! You sobered up so quickly?"
Li Yi pulled the corner of his mouth. Northeastern people are too enthusiastic. There is nothing he can do about it.
Last night, conservatively estimated, Li Yi must have drunk about a dozen bottles of beer.
Li Yi smiled and said, "I can't drink much. Sorry for the embarrassment. By the way, Brother Qi, when are we leaving?"
Qi Rong glanced at his watch and smiled and said, "We leave at nine o'clock. There is still more than half an hour. You should also go and pack up!"
Patting Wei Sanpao on the shoulder, Li Yi nodded, took Wei Sanpao back to the room, and prepared to take the bag.
"Brother Yi, why didn't they leave earlier? Didn't they say that the Russians are far away?"
Li Yi sighed helplessly, and then said: "It was snowing all night. Although it was not heavy, there was a lot of snow. It was not easy to drive on the road. We had to wait for the sun to come out and melt the snow! Otherwise, it would not only be unsafe, but also easy to get snow blindness!"
Wei Sanpao suddenly realized and sighed that Li Yi knew a lot.
Li Yi didn't say anything, because these things were said by an old predecessor who often went to the Northeast to do business before he traveled back.
In fact, the more people you contact, the more you understand. If you have fewer friends, you don't usually come into contact with these things.
After this trip, Wei Sanpao will definitely grow a lot.
……
After the two returned to the room to pack up, they were ready to leave!
For Li Yi, this trip was mainly to contact the Russians first. It is not yet time for the Russians to disintegrate, but this line must be pulled up first before things can be done.
If you want to cooperate with the other party, you must first have bargaining chips in your hand. The Russians are not stupid. If you don’t have the capital to negotiate business, why would they negotiate with you?
When the two came to the side of the motorcade, Qi Rong was standing next to a Mitsubishi Pajero!
The price of this kind of car is very eye-catching at the moment, and it costs about 400,000 yuan. It is a luxury car. It can be seen that Qi Rong is really rich!
The other Pusang is at the back of the motorcade.
In this weather, the excellent performance of Pajero is shown. Whether in appearance or displacement, Pajero is much better than Pusang and 212!
Even in bad weather, Pajero can still hold on.
Li Yi sighed and wondered if he would get a car like this when he went back?
Qi Rong saw Li Yi, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, brother, let's go in a car!"
Li Yi smiled and nodded, put his bag in the trunk, and then got in the car.
Wei Sanpao got on the Peugeot behind. This section of the road was not short. First, he had to rush from Liaoyang to Manzhou, and then go out of Manzhou.
The whole Manzhou is still in a very chaotic state. Even when Li Yi put the bag in the trunk just now, he saw Xiang'er!
Xiang'er is the dialect here, which means gun.
In the whole north, Manzhou is currently the most chaotic place, so Li Yi was not very surprised.
It's just that he has lived for two lifetimes, and this thing is the first time he has seen the real thing in the valley, so he is a little curious.
"Brother Rong, is our road not peaceful?"
Qi Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This year, everywhere is not very peaceful, because there are so many people who want to eat enough and make money quickly!"
"That's right!"
"People like us are fat meat in the eyes of these people. They will become rich if they just take a truckload of goods."
Li Yi nodded to show his understanding!
At the same time, Li Yi also realized that if he wanted to transport goods, he had to find the old man of the Ji family!
This old man has a lot of say in the Ji family, and the railway bureau can also speak. It is safe to load your goods into the train!
If you transport the goods yourself, the risk is too great!
Qi Rong sat next to Li Yi and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be afraid. My brothers are all people with things on their backs. They have been in this business for some time. No one dares to stare at my car."
Li Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, but I'm a little nervous. After all, it's the first time to go out on this route."
Qi Rong could hear from Li Yi's voice that Li Yi was really not afraid of this.
He smacked his lips. Are young people nowadays so courageous?
Qi Rong smiled and said: "Okay, then when we get to Maozi, I'll introduce you to some friends!"
Li Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this!
"Okay!"
The purpose of coming here this time is to find a partner!
Qi Rong also knew this, and understood that Li Yi wanted to sell canned food and ham sausage here.
In his opinion, Li Yi really had no other choice, so he came all the way to Liaoyang to find him to open up a business.
However, what Qi Rong did not expect was that Li Yi was not at all helpless, he was simply too resourceful!
No one expected that Li Yi had been staring at the Russians for two or three months!
Just to be able to use canned food, ham sausage and other things to exchange for the Russian passenger plane back!
The convoy slowly drove out of the factory. This convoy of dozens of vehicles became the most eye-catching scene in Liaoyang City.
Manchuria is in the northernmost part of Longguo, so the weather here is even colder than here in Liaoyang.
Li Yi also successfully put on the military coat that Qi Rong arranged for him. This military coat is very heavy. According to Qi Rong, it is different from the one produced in a small workshop. It is a military coat from a regular army, and it is still officer-level.
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. Qi Rong's connections were really wide, and he knew so many people!
After driving for a whole morning, the convoy stopped by the roadside. In front of them was a food and accommodation store on the roadside, which was also a service area.
Driving is also a tiring job, so you have to take a two-hour break at noon, including eating and taking a lunch break, and then go on the road again in the afternoon.
The food in the service area is very simple, just like the big pot rice in the cafeteria, but for these brothers under Qi Rong, they have gotten used to it. At least they have food to eat with Master Qi.
Li Yi also took a simple bite and went to take a lunch break with Wei Sanpao.
According to his estimate, at the current speed, it will take at least five hours to reach Manzhou, and it should be early morning by then, so it is better to have a good rest.
