The plane went smoothly through the clouds and then landed after a long flight at a moor airport in Siberia.
It is the wilderness, but in fact, because of the developed mining here, in fact, here or gathered a lot of population, over time to become a city, the Utopia city.
It is full of gold miners from all over the world wanting to try their luck, and all kinds of vendors, showing a trace of prosperity in the desolation.
The airport is so small that you can get down from it without a ferry bus.
After entering the airport terminal, they face customs inspection.
Aaron is still a little worried about this step. He speaks a half-baked English, facing these people.
As the crowd moved forward, Aaron soon came to several old men with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Dressed in customs uniforms, they saw Aaron look straight at the back open his bag, and then searched inside to determine that there was no contraband.
This gave Aaron a long sigh of relief.
But while Aaron relaxed, a customs officer at the back of the room surveyed him, and Aaron caught his attention.
Different from the domestic, the current hair son is actually relatively scarce in the material above.
In China can spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a suit although very few, but not to see.
But in Siberia, this is the symbol of the rich.
Rewrap it, and then just as Aaron was about to get out of the security checkpoint, the last customs officer stopped him.
And unlike the signs on the uniforms of several other staff members, it is obvious that this person should be their leader.
"Sir, your watch is very beautiful. Can I see it?"
After hearing this, Aaron was stunned for a moment, not because his psychological quality was not strong enough. After all, he had just graduated from college and had not experienced such a thing.
Now his secret is on the watch, the customs old boy suddenly in broken Chinese to say so one sentence, he did not panic.
Aaron, though flustered, raised his eyebrows, then smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Sir, I also think its very beautiful, your Chinese is unexpected, very good."
For this sentence, the old customs boy just smiled, and then continued to say:
"And you deal with more, naturally will, but your watch is really beautiful, can you show me?"
Aaron knew he wasnt sure if he found something or something else, but now he had to be calm.
If you run, you have a problem.
So when Aaron spoke, he also forced himself to calm down, and then observed the other persons every move and every expression.
And Aaron soon found out about the problem.
Looks like and the outside rumor is not false, drunk wengs intention is not wine.
He just casually took the watch as a cover, is noticed that his dress, is a greedy old hair.
But in this case, it is much better, when I came out, it must have exchanged some rubles in the bank.
When you come to Siberia, you can not exchange some local currency.
With a gentle smile, Aaron first groped in his pocket, then smiled out to remove the strap off his wrist, and then handed it to the old man in front of him.
Taking over Aarons watch, the customs staff also smiled satisfied.
Looked down to look at the watch, the watch dial is very exquisite, but do not know how the craftsman to think of the watch dial so thick not convenient to carry, otherwise they really want to receive a turn back for a wine money.
But since they will come so much, he will not continue to be difficult.
"Welcome to Siberia."
Then he returned the watch with a warm smile to Aaron.
The new watch is complete, but just was himself quietly caught in the middle of the watchband of two thousand rubles no figure.
Aaron put on his watch and walked out of the terminal with his suitcase.
....
Two thousand rubles, equivalent to less than two hundred dollars.
It sounds rare, but considering a level of income, it is a very affordable "clearance fee" for people in Siberia.
It is not that Aaron himself wants to be the sucker, but he would be careful now.
Less than 200 to avoid such a big unexpected risk, this deal is completely cost-effective for yourself.
Whats more, they can let themselves enter the country, the two hundred dollars is really nothing, the money is to be taken back in this land, but the "interest" is a little high.
Before leaving the coastal area, he specially inquired about it, and the people here are more realistic.
Especially in terms of company registration, the official staff here will face many people who come to Siberia with the dream of getting rich every day, and a small part of them are rich people, which can be seen by their clothes.
Such a person has the strength to register for him quickly to drive the local production, and to provide a stable tax revenue.
And the more trouble is ordinary people, after all, here is allowed ordinary people to register mineral companies, those poor gold miners hate the most, always trouble, and basically register them there is no follow-up tax.
So generally speaking, holding the ordinary people who dream to come here to do formalities to be old hair card ten days and half a month, after all, what also do not do in the city for ten days and half a month you have to eat and drink, eat and drink have to consume, this is a good thing for the local.
But good clothes is different. If it goes well, it can be done in one day, and two or three days in other cases.
So Aaron just clenched his teeth to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy such a suit, did not expect the "convenience" has not been enjoyed, he first did not have two thousand rubles, but also let oneself some laugh and cry.
...
Aaron successfully found a small hotel to stay in.
Putting down the bag, Aaron carefully removed the watch and placed it on the table.
Then in the balcony of the room carefully searched for a while, soon a cockroach came into view.
To find this shabby small hotel is not only to save money, but also this.
Cockroaches have been living around since billions of years ago, even in the cold Siberian wasteland, but they do get smaller as they go north.
Holding his breath and squatting down, then picking up the hotels free slippers, the cockroach has fallen from the balcony wall.
This is his watch in that a few "swallow gold beast" temporarily some eat.*
