Chong Sheng 1977Nian Cong Zhi Qing Kai Shi

Sister Tian's name is Tian Feng'e, and she is an old businessman. When her hometown was in the kitchen knife team, she practiced stalls on the street. I heard that when she first came to Moscow, her net worth was already very strong.

"My client from Belgorod State asked if we could provide transportation?" Tian Feng'e said happily.

"Is it Belgorod?"

"Shebekino."

"Okay, I'll help you contact the wagon right away, is 10 enough?" Nanyi said with a smile.

"Hehehe, Boss Nan, don't laugh at me. How can there be such a large amount? There are only 5,000 pieces, and one truck is enough." Nanyi's joke did not make Tian Feng'e angry. 5,000 leather jackets, the profit is at least two More than one hundred thousand dollars.

"Hehe, the truck is fine. You take the client back to the barracks, and the truck can start immediately. It can be delivered to Shebekino tonight."

"Okay, thank you, I'll go and entertain the customers first."

"You are busy."

Tian Feng'e's list is like a signal to charge. When the time is close to eleven o'clock, more and more merchants are leaving, and the list pops up one after another. This one is 3000, that one is 2000, there are 6000, 7000, hundreds of pieces can be ignored directly Excluding.

The faces of the merchants who left were all beaming, and the staff on the scene suffered, and the tops generally kept spinning.

When the manpower was really too busy, Nanyi himself went up to it, and it lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. Today's trade fair was over, and he didn't even have time to eat at noon.

The results are gratifying. In one day, 167,300 leather jackets were produced, and some merchants also took away and sold other leather products when negotiating business with customers.

As soon as it was over, Nanyi asked Wu Xiaowei to inform the merchants not to leave in a hurry, and he ran to call Berezovsky himself.

Nanyi: "I want 30 trucks tomorrow morning, can you provide them?"

Berezovsky: "Klaas 256B?"

Nanyi: "Yes."

Berezovsky: "Yes, the goods can be picked up today."

Nan Yi: "I still need 60 drivers. They must be absolutely reliable and deliver leather jackets. I can pay you $500 for each driver as an introduction fee."

Berezovsky said with a little embarrassment: "Time is a little tight."

"Is there a problem with 20 tomorrow?"

Berezovsky: "20 are fine, and the remaining 40, I need two days."

"No problem, the car will be sent to Modan Barracks."

Hanging up the phone, Nanyi went to discuss matters with the merchants. There are so many products out today, and many merchants' stocks are empty. The business of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow cannot be refused, so the business model must be changed. Today, it is no longer a transaction on the spot, but an order-based business.

Negotiate with the customer first, collect a deposit, and then the October company will deliver the goods to the door, or according to the "hundred and five" commission, and charge a transportation fee of 2 US dollars per kilometer; if the customer refuses to accept, the business fails, and the October company will only Shipping fees are charged, commissions are not charged, and merchants are back-to-back.

After a little thought, the merchants readily agreed that as long as they charged a deposit greater than the shipping fee when negotiating the deposit, the business would be successful. The current leather jacket business is still rarely customized, and the styles are all mainstream styles, which do not exist. If one customer refuses to accept and the goods cannot be sold to the second customer, the risk is not high.

After the discussion here, Nanyi hurried back to the Modan barracks to convey to other merchants who had just returned to the barracks.

In the next two days, it was still a "busy" word. Not only were less than 230,000 leather jackets in the warehouse sold out, but merchants also received orders for 192,000 pieces. The situation exceeded Nanyi's expectations. If the order If everything can be completed, not only will the company not lose money in October, but it will also make a small profit.

However, for other Chinese businessmen, this is not good news. The digestion capacity of leather jackets near Moscow will become weak for at least the next month, and everyone's business will become bleak.

The closing banquet cannot be held, and the merchants have no intention of eating and drinking at all. They make phone calls, and some fly home by themselves, and all of them are busy preparing goods.

The closing banquet cannot be held, and the thank-you banquet will still be held. For the sake of the busy staff and external personnel of the exhibition, Nanyi must express something.

As soon as the fair ended on the third day, the models, guides, and external translators first went to the cashier to receive their remuneration and commissions. Whether it was the commissions of completed orders or unexecuted orders, Nanyi asked the finance to give them 50 cents each. The commission for a leather jacket, the order part is less than 100,000 US dollars, there is no need to pick and choose, the calculation is too clear, it will make people run again and again, which is annoying.

When the staff and outsiders were sitting in the lobby of the South Building, Nanyi did not give a long speech, but simply said "Everyone has worked hard", and then, holding a stack of red envelopes, walked in front of everyone, Offer a red envelope, and then offer a sentence: "October Company appreciates your dedication, thank you!"

This move by Nanyi surprised the people present. The staff from China are fine. Even if they have never seen it before, they have heard of it. The Russians hired outside are puzzled. What do the red paper bags mean?

After whispering to each other, they all figured out that what was in the red paper bag was money—a hundred-dollar bill, the head of the lovable Franklin, the most beloved and admired person in the world, none of them.

After distributing the red envelopes, Nanyi returned to his seat, raised his left hand and snapped his fingers, "Music!"

As his words fell, music immediately sounded in the hall, and two female singers jumped into the hall from the outside, and the disco song "American Boy", which had been popular in Moscow for two years, sang from the female singer's mouth.

The Russians in the hall immediately stood up and cheered up with red envelopes in their hands.

Blood Type found a few underground bands. After meeting Nan Yi, he felt that it was almost meaningless to let them perform commercially, so the trade fair canceled the performance session. However, he invited two bands to perform at the thank-you banquet, and now they are performing is a group called "Twins Guns", the two singers are twin sisters.

After the atmosphere got up, Vasilisa came to Nanyi, swayed, and sent a signal with her body to invite Nanyi to get up.

Nanyi waved his hand and blocked the opponent's signal. If you miss it, you miss it. If you continue, the taste will change. Of course, the most important thing...

"Evelyn, isn't it tomorrow's plane?"

"Someone refunded the ticket, so I came back early." Aksinya came to Nanyi, glanced at Vasilisa, and sat down.

Seeing Aksinya, Vasilisa walked away knowingly.

"who is she?"

Aksinya's tone was full of jealousy, as if she and Nanyi already had something.

Smelling the smell of vinegar, Nan Yi was slightly taken aback, why didn't he know when the relationship between the two had entered this stage.

"Girl students who came here to help, it's just in time for you to come back. There is a large amount of goods that need to be shipped to Moscow. Tomorrow, you can go to the people at Saveliev's side to coordinate the flight." Nanyi changed the topic.

"who?"

Nanyi explained to Aksinya about the tourist charter flight.

"OK."

Aksinya responded, and shared with Nan Yi the knowledge of this trip to Huaguo.

...

When the time came to October, Nanyi put his energy on Desert Ship, which was responsible for short-distance freight under the original October company, and he reorganized Desert Ship, and set up four branches under it.

Based on the original 5 Mercedes-Benz cars, the Yingdang car rental company was established; the original 5 Klaas 256Б models for short-distance transportation, plus 30 new arrivals, were used to form the Hercules Cargo Company; tourist charter flights As a business starting point, set up a double-headed eagle freight forwarding company;

Starting with the provision of short-distance express delivery of goods between Huaguo buildings, hotels and various markets, and expanding by sending light paper documents between Huaguo and Russia, Kuafu Express Company was established.

The heads of several other companies will screen candidates through the talent team. The person in charge of Kuafu Express, Nanyi, directly appointed Wu Xiaowei, but instead of taking a management position now, he has to start from the grassroots.

Once the establishment of several companies was completed, Nanyi asked Wu Xiaowei to expand and operate the business. Speaking of it, the business is very simple. Every day, the men in Huaguo have to pull goods from the place where they live to the market to practice stalls. Take the goods back to the place where you live.

What Kuafu Express will undertake is to help them deliver and receive the goods. To put it bluntly, it is to take over the hard work. The difference is that there will be motor vehicles to take care of the delivery, and the work that the courier needs to do is to move up and down.

In addition to reorganizing the company, Nanyi sent an email to Ma Shimin, asking him to tell Huizesang to pay attention to the development of the express delivery business in the mainland, pay attention to those who are now engaged in the express delivery business, and carry out the strategy of spreading the net, as long as they are engaged in the express delivery business Anyone can make angel investment.

The field of express delivery is a field that will not receive capital attention temporarily or for a long time in the future. The price to be paid for getting the right to speak will not be too high. Tens of millions of dollars will be enough to unite most practitioners and establish A cake eating alliance that seems scattered but not scattered.

Usually, the alliances compete when they should compete, and strive to eat a piece of cake for themselves. Once a newcomer wants to come to share the food, it is absolutely impossible.

In fact, Nanyi is not too greedy for pleasure. Private jets are all for work needs. A single house that doesn’t need to be too big doesn’t need to worry about making a living. I usually farm, read, exercise, watch movies and TV shows, and occasionally go out Steal a meal, this kind of life is enough.

Even if he cares about the children of his righteous four relatives, he has to plan to prepare all kinds of valuable holiday gifts for them, and then find a way to earn him a billion dollars, which is enough to explain. He himself has 100 million dollars. Enough to deal with the past.

Before, now, and in the future, he personally never thought of taking a dime from Nanshi. Nanshi is the tool for him to fulfill his ideals, explore the universe, change the world, and inherit the family. The difficulty is from big to small, and the importance from small to large .

Exploring the universe may lead to nothing, and changing the world may lead to bloodshed. Only family inheritance is the easiest to do and the easiest to grasp, and this is not just his personal business.

In 1976, when Nanyi first crossed over, the first thing to do after adapting to the new identity was to think about the way to go in the future.

It's not that he didn't want to live a peaceful and ordinary life, taking the college entrance examination step by step, waiting for the assignment of work, having an iron rice bowl, and except for the basic expenses, all the salary was used to buy famous calligraphy and paintings, cheap antiques, and when the right time came, he sold them. A few antiques were replaced with seven or eight or a dozen suites.

No matter what kind of calligraphy, paintings and antiques are fried, the objects in his hands will definitely be able to sell some money, buy and sell, and cycle. At the current point in time, his life should be very easy, with a salary of two or three hundred , The level is not bad, there are a few people under him, fishing at work, drinking some wine after work, and going fishing in the suburbs on weekends.

By the turn of the century, he will have more spare money in his hands, and buy more than a dozen houses to pay for the rent, and deposit the rest of the money in a reliable bank to earn interest, and then hide it from Ma Zhen or Niu Zhen. The daughter-in-law hides some private money and does whatever she wants in a sneaky way.

At this time, the son or daughter should also be admitted to college, and the parents' merits are about to be completed. Give two houses and some money, let him/her live by himself, how much he can afford to eat, don't expect me to arrange it Everything, Lao Tzu's property will be left to the (outside) grandchildren.

If you are unlucky, your sons and daughters have high goals but low abilities, and you have to start a business and get a pile of debts, that’s okay. When I’m in my 50s, try again what you left over from your previous life. Is my memory still useful?

Useful for turning over, useless for jumping off a building.

In her previous life, Nanyi was busy struggling when she was young, not to mention having children, she missed the golden age of marriage, and finally became the fifth king of diamonds. The "price" of the price is that it is difficult to find a suitable partner, and his health is not good enough to give birth to a high-quality baby, so he simply gave up.

Since time travel, having children has always been one of Nanyi's established goals. I have never been a father before, and I am very yearning to be a father. If he takes the initiative to lie down, his children can only lie down passively. One generation is not as good as the next generation. He himself is at ease, and his children are all implicated by him.

Therefore, the ordinary road is not suitable for Nanyi. He can only take a road of continuous upward struggle and move forward infinitely to the starting line of his children.

The adopted child's strategy was actually born out of Nan Yi's obsession with being a father. It can not only satisfy his desire to be a father, but also cultivate talents for the future. It is the best of both worlds.

Nan Ruofing was the first one. The vigorous fatherly love in Nan Yi's body was poured into her at the earliest time. In terms of utilitarian subjective thinking, he regarded Nan Ruofing as a tool, but subconsciously, he regarded Nan Ruofing as a tool. Ruo Fing treats her like her own daughter.

The two extreme thoughts collided and entangled. In the end, Nan Yi became a father who raised his children with a certain utilitarianism. To concretize the vague concept of old-age care is to let her contribute to Nan's.

As for the torture of conscience, Nan Yi thinks that he is worthy of Nan Ruobing and gave her fatherly love. Before Jiji, she had assets of more than 2 billion US dollars and gave her a chance to understand the world clearly.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, being rich does not necessarily mean happiness. Moreover, Nan Yi deprived Nan Ruofing of her subjective thoughts and trained her for her own selfish desires. But he wanted to say that Nan Ruofing would be one of the 0.01% who can control the freedom of life and thought independently. forced to be rewarded handsomely.

This kind of confinement is quite cruel, and will deprive Nan Ruofing of many experiences, rights, and satisfactions in his life.

She can't experience the warmth of a family of three generations squeezed into one bed, she can't experience the bleary eyes of her parents when she wakes up holding her urine; After experiencing embarrassment and powerlessness, Nanyi took her and Fan Hongdou to visit subdivided rooms, cage houses, and the oncology department in order to make up for this link.

When it comes to rights, the most important thing is that she is not qualified to lie flat. Nanyi built her based on the head of capital with hundreds of billions of dollars as a template. She has no right not to struggle, no right to go to the factory to make screws to waste time, no right to enjoy life right.

As for the sense of satisfaction, she lost even more, too many things were within her reach, too easy to come by, there was no so-called sense of satisfaction at all.

In order to enjoy a sense of satisfaction, she will masochistically try various trainings, such as enjoying the satisfaction of a sip of warm water after a five-kilometer high-paced long-distance run; try to solve various mathematical conjectures, and after a little more understanding, Enjoy the satisfaction of mastering knowledge; adjust the game to the abnormal level of difficulty, after clearing the level, enjoy the satisfaction of conquest...

All these things are difficult for her.

Today, although the Nan family still has a long way to go, most of the inheritance has been completed, and the rest is just a matter of time. Nan Yi's thoughts are gradually sublimating. It is time to consider how to change the world and the main factors that constitute the world. people.

To change, we need to start from the subtleties. Nanyi chose a field he is more familiar with, and first laid out the express delivery field. No more confusion.

Starting from breaking the marketing vocabulary of "free shipping", it is obvious that the cost of express delivery is included in the pricing considerations, and it is necessary to talk about free shipping, as if posting money to give consumers benefits. Nanyi wants to change this unclear and vague pricing, and finally Realize that online shoppers understand how much tax is included in every penny they spend shopping.

For every order, there should be a detailed bill, how much is the postage, how much is the tax, listed clearly, the merchant pays the tax, but the online shopper pays the money, why not let the payer know how much they paid Tax?

Paying taxes is not being a thief, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail, let alone deprive the ultimate taxpayer of the glory.

Throughout October, apart from focusing on the construction of several companies, Nanyi also took care of China Eastern Airlines, which has been officially listed by Saveliyev.

Kazakhstan has a vast land area but a small population. From the perspective of resource structure, it has abundant oil and natural gas resources, but it can be said that it has almost no foundation in light industry. Light industry products are very dependent on imports. The oil-poor and gas-poor countries that provide light industrial products, the two sides met and met, not only reached mutual friendship, but also reached an agreement on mutual tariff exemption.

Coincidentally, Russia and Kazakhstan also have an agreement on mutual tariff exemption. From this point of view, a triangular trade route can be constructed to allow Chinese goods to enter Moscow through a tariff-free channel.

The solution was thought up by Nan Yi, and the implementation was done by Eastern Airlines. He was still working in Jinru Trading, and by the way, he wanted to build a trade route for Jinru Trading from the capital to Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan. Whether it is the light industry products that have been seen by Qian Jing, or the machines and production lines that Kazakhstan wants to build its own light industry in the future, you can do it directly or make a match to earn a little introduction fee.

After reading the information about Masami Uedo sent back from Kazakhstan, Nan Yi called Yi Jinru and asked her to let go of the Jinlou business and focus on Jinru's trade. He and Yi Jinru couldn't just be playing around anymore, they had to get serious, set up the company structure as soon as possible, and send people to Almaty to set up a branch.

Nan Yi didn't expect Yi Jinru to understand these things now, he just let Yi Jinru experience the authority of the chairman, and let Yi Jinru know that he would go through with her approval before handling big or small matters, no matter the company Whether it is building or setting up a branch, he will arrange suitable people to do it.

As for the "suitable person", Nanyi can only find a way from Yiwan International to find Zhao Jinshui.

After communication, Zhao Jinshui terminated Du Jiachang's labor contract not too willingly, and gave Nanyi a person, wanting to have one more, he immediately emphasized to Nanyi that there are objective difficulties, why billions of internationals want to grow, the old man is so few Not enough by itself, and so on.

One by one, Nanyi asked Du Jiachang to fly to Moscow to meet with him first, and let the other party stay in Moscow for a few days after painting the cakes that should be painted, to learn about the trading methods here, and to get acquainted with what to do by the way The product.

Nanyi's short-term positioning of Jinru Trading is a drilling-type enterprise, there is no main field, no matter it is clothing, electrical appliances, machinery, as long as it can make money, the business line is positioned as Hua Russia and Hua Ha. If these two lines are managed well, the annual profit of Jinru Trading can directly reach the level of 100 million, and it is US dollars.

It’s just that the profiteering period may not be too long. After the period of solo riding is over, there will be more competitors, business will become more and more difficult, and profits will become lower and lower. It will come quickly. It is estimated that the annual profit of more than 100 million will only appear once, and if you are lucky twice, it will be unrealistic. After that, it will become too much money and far away from home. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it.

...

ice city.

Zhang Wei and Song Yong are looking at houses in Songshan Energy-Saving Residential New District, which was just delivered this year. They have taken a fancy to a big apartment on the third floor, which has already been booked, and now they are going to look at the garage.

The community has a large area and can accommodate 2,400 households, but there are very few parking spaces. When planning, only 110 cars can be parked. That is, including all the places where the road is suspended, a maximum of 260 cars can be parked.

Together, the couple felt that there would be more and more households with private cars in the future, so they planned to buy a few more parking spaces that no one wanted.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think? Let's buy all these seven parking spaces." Song Yong said to Zhang Wei after looking at the parking space planning area.

Zhang Wei also thought it was quite suitable, so she said: "I think it's very good, I'll talk to the property company later."

Song Yong waved his hand, "You go by yourself, I have to leave soon, the head office sent a fax, the company has a new study abroad business, I have to go to school."

Zhang Wei: "What are you studying abroad? Isn't what you're doing just to sell dog meat?"

Song Yong: "It's different this time. It's a real study abroad. The fee is very cheap. First learn the language, and then go to Russia to study international trade for one to two years. After graduation, you can arrange a job if you learn well."

Zhang Wei: "How cheap is it?"

Song Yong: "The total tuition fee is less than 7,000 yuan."

Zhang Wei was stunned, and said in surprise: "It's so cheap? Then what do we earn?"

Song Yong: "The fax said that this is the business that the company needs. The company pays money to offices like ours, and pays 1,000 per person."

Zhang Wei: "What do you mean? The job is arranged in the company?"

"The boss's other companies are just to find people for himself anyway." Song Yong thought for a while, and then said: "If there are many people, they may send people to other companies. The company said that they can give 400 US dollars a month. Salary, 400 dollars, this business is easy to do, I go to high school to run around, and I can easily get hundreds of them.”

Zhang Wei is not as optimistic as Song Yong. She is a teacher herself and understands the mentality of students' parents very well.

"Husband, it's not that simple. If you don't have a trustworthy unit as a guarantee, who would dare to spend such a large sum of money to ask you to send your children abroad? God knows why you are sending their children abroad."

Song Yonglue thought about it, "That's right, I think it's easy, daughter-in-law, you stay here first, I'll go to the telephone building and make a long-distance call to Moscow."

"What's the rush, accompany me to the property company first." Zhang Wei dragged Song Yong to the property company's office.

At the end of October, the temperature in Moscow was close to zero. Lin Jing and Guo Li, who had been away for a while, came to Moscow again. This time, they did not see the pigeons.

Last time, after Chang Ge was so-called kidnapped, she actually came back the next day. However, she moved away from Modan Barracks very quickly. Afterwards, Nan Yi never saw her, nor heard of her. information.

Nanyi still arranged the two girls in the utility room of the Huibin building, and prepared a little more quilts and cushions for them. They didn't prepare any heating stoves. The weather was only a little cold, but it wasn't too difficult.

After arranging the two girls, Nan Yi went to work on his own.

Zhen Meimei found two buildings within walking distance of the train station that are suitable for turning into hotels. They are both residential buildings. The housing standard of one building is relatively high. They are both large flats of nearly 100 square meters. In October, the company offered a price of US$3,000/ In 2009, this price was enough for a family to live in Moscow very decently. The residents were very cooperative and vacated the house in two days.

There are 124 units in total, costing US$372,000. After consulting the architect, they came up with a plan to transform them into 192 rooms. Yi plans to charge USD 60-80 per night (the room layout and size vary with different prices), USD 150 for a large suite and USD 380 for a total suite.

For potential customers, this price is too expensive, and it will not be too attractive to them; for Nanyi, this price is low, and it is full of money. Even if there are people living there for 365 days a year, the final year Net profit is less than $10 million.

Therefore, the hotel that has been named "Yangtze River Business" needs to provide additional services to attract customers, and also needs additional sources of income.

This, Nanyi already has a preliminary plan in his stomach.

The housing standard of the other building is lower, and the layout is similar to the domestic Tongzilou, but the appearance looks a little higher than the Tongzilou. There are five floors in total, each floor has 86 rooms, a total of 430 rooms, and each floor has one on the left and right sides. Toilets, every room has heating that can freeze people to death.

This building belongs to a company. It is easy to negotiate and the rent is not expensive. However, there are certain hidden dangers. The signed lease contract is priced in rubles, but in October, the company gave us US dollars, and someone in the middle will take away the US dollars. Make up rubles.

Nanyi asked Savina to sign a supplementary agreement with the other party in private. In case, he could lose money, and he didn't want to get involved in legal disputes; in order to sign the supplementary agreement, the company had to spend an extra $30,000 a year in October , pretty fucked up.

This building will be named as the Yellow River Express Hotel. The charging standard is 7 US dollars per night. Heating pipe depreciation, $0.3/night compensation for overtime work, and $0.5/night low-temperature subsidy for police officers patrolling.

The Yangtze River Business Hotel needs to be renovated, and the project is huge. It will definitely not open this year. The Yellow River Express Hotel is much simpler. It only needs to repair the damaged parts, paint the walls, repair the doors and windows, and replace them. A bunk bed can be opened in each room.

Nanyi stayed on the Yangtze River construction site for an hour, then walked around the Yellow River construction site, and then rushed to meet Yepisov.

The meeting place was under a maple tree by a small river in the suburbs. The trees were tall, and the sparse and yellowed leaves could not block the sunlight on the outdoor table. There was a pot of black tea, two cups, and a piece of Stolinik in one hand. Send the cake to your mouth.

Suddenly, another hand picked up another piece of cake on the table, brought it to his mouth and took a bite, then put it back on the table in disgust, "It's too sweet, Yepisov, eat less, eat more easy to get diabetes."

"Adam, diabetes has nothing to do with sugar." Yepisov took another bite and said indifferently.

"The scorers, old age, obesity, you accounted for it, plus too much sugar intake..." Nan Yi said, shrugging.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll only eat one piece today." Yepisov speeded up eating the cake, one bite after another, and finished eating a piece of cake in no time. He wiped his fingers on the napkin and took out another piece of cake. Toast a cigar for a while, "Adam, I have already negotiated, $500 a year, no passport checks, and some other minor troubles, but it is not valid for unified action."

"That's enough." Nan Yi nodded and asked, "How much do you think it's appropriate for us to increase the price?"

"Double it and we can keep $400."

"Not bad, I'm going to order a set of identification badges, do you think it's better to use a hammer or a sickle for the pattern?"

"Why not use the Yellow River?" Yepisov asked back.

"You think it's appropriate?"

"Very appropriate, the Yellow River Hotel uses the Yellow River as its logo pattern."

"OK, I'll listen to you." Nanyi said, pointing to his car, "I brought a fishing rod, do you want to have a game?"

Yepisov said with great interest: "Specific weight or quantity?"

"Compare the weight first, and the one with the absolute advantage wins. If there is not much difference, then compare the quantity. Whoever has more fish wins." Nanyi explained.

"A 1955 Aviation Memorabilia Watch to Celebrate the Successful Moon Landing."

"Greenham Flying Tigers watch."

"It's okay, I'm not too disadvantaged." Yepisov said slightly dissatisfied.

Nan Yi shrugged, saying that the moon landing may not be real, and the aviation commemorative watch may not have real practical significance to refute. He just gestured to the fairy and asked him to get the fishing rod.
