Chapter 311: Substitution
"From India?"

Wang Deming suddenly looked up and asked.

He had been thinking about rubles in his mind just now, and suddenly he remembered that the Indian banknote was called rupee, which sounded very similar to rubles, and at that time India should have a close relationship with the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, India would not have become more and more arrogant and dared to provoke us a few years later.

Moreover, India does not care about the lives of its people or whether they starve to death. It has always been a major exporter of wheat.

"India?" Alexei and Diana were stunned and frowned as they considered the feasibility of this approach.

"It doesn't seem impossible. India is a major grain exporter, and now that it is free from the constraints of the UK, it doesn't necessarily have to supply the UK." Alexei thought, "But when dealing with India, we must be careful of them. Their moral values ​​seem to be different from ours."

"Then there's the question of how to show up."

"Well, this is very important." Diana added thoughtfully, "A grain order of 3000 million rubles is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of tons. If it is such a large grain order, it will not be enough for the two of us to come forward. We have to ask our family to come forward and act as a middleman."

"Also, you have to know that you have always been a major grain exporter. Do you have to solve the issue of whether to allow imports?"

"Yes." Wang Deming nodded slowly. "Well, I'll go find the real boss to report first. You two should also contact the family in China and communicate with India first to see their reaction."

"But I don't think we can import this year. We'll have to wait and see next year or the year after."

After saying that, Wang Deming prepared to get up.

"Wait!" Alexei suddenly called out to Wang Deming, and then solemnly said to Diana: "Diana, I need you to leave here now. I want to have a man's conversation with De, which is not suitable for you to listen to."

"So mysterious, I don't know what he's doing?" Diana muttered, but she honestly got up and left. "I'm going to play mahjong with Shouchun, and I just happened to see my two godsons."

It is very popular in Beijing to adopt godparents. Rich families worried that their children would not grow up or would always get sick, so they would go to various temples in Beijing to worship a master. For example, Qi Gong worshipped an old lama from the Lama Temple as his master since he was a child. This is a kind of godparenting, and occasionally he would follow the master to practice in the temple for a period of time, copy scriptures, etc.

Poor families usually look for women with both parents and many children and grandchildren to be godmothers. Being able to raise so many children proves that this woman is blessed. And this kind of women has another name, "Ten Perfect Women". When families in the capital get married, they always ask them to be the bride's reception wives.

Finally, there are people like Wang Deming's master Xia Xiwu, who adopted him directly. Because he didn't have any direct descendants, his wife Huizhen was adopted from his master's wife, otherwise the family line would be cut off.

So when Diana gave birth to two sons with Zhang Shouchun and Jin Yuqing, she became the godfather of the two children.

Zhang Shouchun and Jin Yuqing thought it was almost like becoming godparents, so they just accepted the offer.

As for Qin Huairu, her daughter has already recognized her sister-in-law Huizhen as her godmother. She is now trying every means to have a second and third child, and she must give birth to a son!
Is it necessary to induce fertility? She was determined not to waste Wang Deming's excellent genes. How could she not give birth to ten or eight children?
"How about whiskey, De?"

After Diana left the room, Alexei got up and took out a bottle of Scotch and two goblets from the wine cabinet.

Since the Tan family moved out of Yongkang Hutong, Alexei hired someone to renovate it extensively. In addition to maintaining the exterior layout and appearance of the traditional Chinese courtyard house, it also maintains the green bricks and tiles, red pillars and green windows.

The interior was transformed into European style: fireplace, sofa, carpet, wine cabinet, billiards, etc., turning this courtyard into a club.

"OK, I'll also taste the pure malt aroma." Wang Deming crossed his legs and shrugged, "Although I can't taste it, it's all alcohol."

"OK." Alexei took out another piece of ice from the refrigerator next to him, smashed it and put it into a small steel barrel, then poured the whiskey directly into it. After a while, he poured a little wine for him and Wang Deming respectively, and scooped a few ice cubes from the barrel and threw them into the wine glasses.

Sitting next to Wang Deming, he raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's celebrate friendship." "For friendship."

"Ding."

"Okay?"

"It's okay."

"You must add ice cubes to whiskey, and then sip it slowly, while the aroma of the cigar lingers in your mouth." Alexi took a puff of the cigar and slowly exhaled, "Only in this way can you fully experience this enjoyment."

"Hey, man, you know what?" Wang Deming smiled bitterly, his eyebrows forming an eight character, "You don't fit this kind of tone. We Chinese have a special adjective for this. Pretender."

"Uh what? A show-off? Fine." He drank the glass dry in one breath and exhaled, "Frank, that's me!"

He looked at Wang Deming and half-lay down, "I don't know how to start. Okay. Let me be frank. Can you make Diana pregnant before she returns home?"

"What?" Wang Deming jumped up from the sofa, his face full of horror, and asked in disbelief: "Alexei, do you know what you are saying?"

"Relax, De, of course I know what I'm talking about?" Alexei patted the sofa and motioned Wang Deming to sit down.

Wang Deming hesitated and sat down slowly, and couldn't help but drink the glass dry.

Alexey poured more wine and explained, "I know that you Chinese may find this unreasonable, or that I am crazy, but in Western culture, this is nothing. What's more, I have my own ideas."

"Oh, you say."

"Tina and I are about to have our first child, and we will have more in the future, but you know that Diana and I will definitely hold a wedding after we return home." He shrugged, "I hope to bring Tina's child home. This way he won't be an illegitimate child."

"Tina?" Wang Deming chewed on the name. He suddenly remembered that they had first met in Yin Changrong's clothing store. One of them was a petite Soviet man with a big nose who had been thinking about climbing into Alexei's bed. "Is it Tina Alita?"

"Wow, you have a really good memory? De, that's her."

"You have always been... How did she succeed in getting you?"

Alexey looked very lonely, "De, sometimes I envy you Chinese men. You don't understand the pain of a man being dominated by a woman. Diana is one of them. Her idol is Catherine the Great, and she has a very strong desire for control.

I tried it, too. After all, she was beautiful and we were engaged, but I gave up quickly. I just couldn't stand a woman who looked down on me all the time and hurt my male self-esteem. I couldn't get interested if she gave me a cold look. "

"So, you just..." Wang Deming hooked two fingers.

"That's right!" Alexei straightened his chest, "But Tina makes me fully feel my dignity as a man! My masculinity! She will always lean on me like a little bird and need my protection."

"Uh, I see." In his previous life, wasn't there an old British prince Charles whose wife Diana was so beautiful and elegant, but he still claimed that his true love was a mistress? Sorry, he really couldn't remember the name of that wrinkled old woman.

I guess Alexi's reasons are similar.
"But how are you going to explain it to your family?" Wang Deming thought of their family again.
