Chapter 21 There Is Always Someone Better
Fang Ming knows his priorities, having a strong and well equipped team is not optional, No it's the most important investment to have in the early stages.
Fang Ming also planned to get closer to the corrupt generals of the soviets union, Fang Ming knows just how crazy this guys are, in his previous life he even worked in smuggling soviets tanks and helicopters as a mercenary and later when he became successful he managed to get lot of incomplete blueprints and abandoned weapons research from the Russian generals.
This projects and researches may have been abandoned or discarded for being unsuitable for the Russian army but this stuff can still be sold for astronomical prices to rich Arabs countries who are trying to develop their obsolete weapons.
Fang Ming also hoped to get some of their technology before going back to Hong Kong, the soviet union light industry may pale in front of the Japanese and their western counterpart, but their heavy industry is the most advanced in this era.
After 3 hours flight the old Boeing 747 finally landed, the passenger on the plane started to look for their luggage, on the other hand Fang Ming just carried his sport bag and was walking out of the airport when a middle aged man came to him and tried to help him carry his empty sport bag, Fang Ming was surprised and just gave him the bag and followed him to see what this strange man wanted to do.
After walking for 3 min the middle aged man stooped beside a taxi and opened the trunk before putting the bag inside it and proceeding to open the door for him, Fang Ming who saw this could only smile and shock his head before getting in the car.
He had been outsmarted by this guy, Fang Ming who lived the first half of his life traveling by special means or the second half in the United Stats has never seen such a strange way to pick up customers, he was really interested in this guy.
The middle aged man saw that Fang Ming got in the car without a hassle and was happy, he immediately got in as well and asked him.
"Honorable sir from Hong Kong where do you want to go".
"Take me to the international hotel".
"The international hotel, sir really have a good taste that's indeed the best place to stay for such an honorable guest like you".
The middle aged man driving the taxi said with an eloquent tone completely taking control of the conversation while allowing Fang Ming to participate and feel important, this made Fang Ming rise his evaluation of this man once again.
"How may i address you sir" seeing that Fang Ming didn't talk for a while the middle aged man continued to ask.
"You can address me as Fang Ming, how can i address senior".
"I don't dare, how could i accept such a praise from sir Fang" the middle aged man replied.
"Senior i insist on showing you this respect such a hard working senior remind me of my late father, life was tough and he just as hardworking as you senior" Fang Ming just told lies without any shames as he started to slowly take over the conversation pace from the middle aged man.
The two kept talking nonsense for 10 min before arriving at the international hotel.
The middle aged man turned to Fang Ming with a smile and pointed to the distance calculator and said that would be 10.
Fang Ming said with a smile "10 HKD or 10 RMB, at the red light we turned left instead of right, at the small market intersection you once again took the wrong direction you kept on increasing the distance again and again, at some point i even suspected you were going to kidnap me".
The middle aged man tried to argue but he couldn't say anything, he indeed tried to cheat Fang Ming by just saying 10 and not specify the currency right now 10 HKD is 40 RMB, but what really stumped the middle aged man was that Fang Ming who seemed so immersed in the conversation they had, was actually so aware and focused all this time he even remembered all the intersection they took on the way.
Fang Ming took 10 HKD and gave it to the middle aged man before saying "You are a smart man i was entertained, now what is your name senior".
The middle aged man took the 10 HKD and smiled shamelessly before saying "my name is Zhu Rongji".
Fang Ming who saw the middle aged man shamelessly take the money and giving him a fake name before driving away so happily felt cheated and thought to himself "this guys is good, he is even more shameless than me, my skin is really not thick enough".
Fang Ming entered the international hotel, he picked a room and went to rest.
...
The next day Fang Ming woke up early, and went to eat his break feast, he was surprised to see two foreigners speaking in Russian and laughing loudly.
Fang Ming who was just going to pass by them heard one of them talking in Russian which changed his expression completely.
One of the Russian guys sitting was laughing and said to his friend "I sold 2 tanks to a Malaysian tribe on the west coast, can you guess how i did it".
Fang Ming who was already making plans on how to approach them to see if he can negotiate an arms sell deal with the duo, suddenly remember the face of the shameless middle aged man as he took the money and gave him a fake name without any hesitation and his mouth twitched.
Fang Ming immediately changed his mind, he will just have to act more shamelessly for this one there is no need to complicate things.
Fang Ming turned around and walked to the Russians table before he put his break feast on their table and sat with them shamelessly.
