Ogrizko came to the table with a basket, took out three brandy glasses and placed them on the table. He filled all three glasses with a very skilled master's technique.
He picked up one of the glasses and said, "Okay, come here, pick up your glasses, and wish us good health."
"Cavados fruit brandy is produced in the Cabados AOC production area in Normandy, northwest France. I didn't expect to be able to drink original imported wine here."
Long Zhan picked up a glass of wine in surprise, smelled it and gave it a high evaluation.
"You know wine very well and you speak Russian well." Ogrizko praised.
"My language talent has always been very good. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ogrizko."
Long Zhan raised his neck and drank the wine completely. He was very careful about etiquette.
From the image of Long Zhan, Ogrizko thought he would be a rude and violent wild man. He didn't expect Long Zhan to be so humble and polite, and his goodwill immediately grew.
He enthusiastically motioned Long Zhan to take a seat, filled up Long Zhan's glass with wine, and asked, "What do you call it?"
"I'm a PMC, you can call me Dragon King." Long Zhan didn't hesitate and sat across the table.
"PMC? Are you a bear, or do you serve usec?"
While Ogrizko asked about Long Zhan, he stretched out his hand to signal Dennis to come and sit down. There was no need for the old friend to be polite, and he sat opposite Long Zhan himself.
"I am not either of them, but a senior commissioner belonging to the Titan Company." Long Zhan replied.
"Giant Company? Never heard of it." Ogrizko answered honestly.
"It's okay if you haven't heard of it now, because soon this name will be famous all over the world, and by then, you will naturally recognize it." Long Zhan confidently said.
"Well, I'll look forward to that."
Ogrizko shrugged his shoulders, with a half-smiling expression that didn't reveal much.
It’s been a while since Dennis drank such good brandy. Compared with Tarkov’s specialty wine, which is blended with water and various things, Ogrizko’s original imported wine shouldn’t be too precious.
Since Ogrizko was able to entertain him with such a good wine, Dennis naturally wanted to give him enough respect and took the last remaining glass and took a sip.
"Good wine, really nostalgic."
Dennis was already very familiar with this place and sat down without Ogrizko's greeting, forming a three-way situation.
As a former senior technician at Terra Corporation, fine wine is not a luxury product for Dennis.
"I heard that you got involved with those usecs. How did you get connected?" Ogrizko asked.
Long Zhan and Dennis left usec on the front foot, and Ogrizko got the news on the back foot.
I really don’t know whether to say that Tarkov is too small and every little thing will be spread to everyone, or that Ogrizko’s intelligence network is wide enough.
"It's just a small thing. Their team was suppressed by a group of cultists. We helped a little and allowed their team to survive."
Dennis finished the condensed version of the explanation, and then added in a joking tone: "During the whole battle, the Dragon King was mainly busy, and I was only responsible for the kicker, so I took advantage of the Dragon King."
"Usec is a group of arrogant bastards. They always keep to themselves and refuse to contact the outside world. For such a simple thing, they invite you to their base? Maybe I should also help others."
Ogrizko's mouth was full of sourness, which showed that he also wanted to get to know usec.
From the perspective of a grocery merchant, the usec family has a variety of items, and if it can be put online, it can indeed make a lot of money.
"What's so difficult about this? Just call the sledgehammer to the street and you'll get lucky." Dennis joked.
"Well, Pablo can, but I..."
Ogrizko grinned with big teeth, waved his hand in the air, and laughed at himself: "I can hold a wine glass with this hand and put delicious bacon into my mouth, but I can't shoot."
"Shooting is something a rough guy does, but you are a shrewd businessman." Long Zhan flattered him to deepen his image in Ogrizko's mind.
"I agree with you, haha."
Ogrizko laughed happily, reached into the basket and took a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he continued to ask Dennis: "The last time we met was half a month ago. Where did you go for a walk?" ?”
"I was walking around here, and I met Veremeyev while passing by. I sent them a letter and asked him to do something."
"You hired him?"
"It wasn't me, it was my boss Predator. I don't know what was written in the Predator's letter. You know, it's not within the scope of my business. But the next day Veremeyev sent a bunch of Give it to me."
"Then what else did you hear?"
"Everything is terrible, the soldiers are like rabid dogs that have broken free of their chains! These idiots are jumping around the city, shooting in all directions. It's infuriating that they don't want to abide by the agreement. Imagine, One of them also wanted to take advantage of my boss."
"Oh, is it so?"
"That's the fact. If he hadn't been dealt with, they wouldn't have had brains!"
"You didn't participate in that, right?"
"No, I'm not the only one who would do that, there are other smart people out there."
…
Dennis and Ogrizko chatted a lot, but Long Zhan couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, guessing that it was old things from the past.
Long Zhan didn't have the curiosity to gossip, so if he didn't understand, he just wouldn't join in.
An Xin grabbed the food in the basket and ate it.
In Tarkov, a place with poor supplies, it is rare to encounter so much unspoiled meat. It is difficult to eat it when you go out.
In line with the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard, Long Zhan just ate like crazy.
Ogrizko noticed Long Zhan's small movements and showed no dissatisfaction or medicine. He even raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Obviously being able to use food to gain Long Zhan's favor was a very good deal in his opinion.
After all, business is not just about transactions. There are also many places where "violence" is needed to deal with various factors that affect transactions.
It is most uneconomical for businessmen to send their own men to deal with this kind of matter.
The heartfelt subordinates who are used to it are not easy to replace when they die.
On the other hand, if you can send out the "work" and spend money to find someone to make a deal to solve the problem, that is the businessman's favorite solution.
Before that, it is necessary to know some good enough people in case of emergencies.
Long Zhan needs to obtain items from transactions, so he wants to build a good relationship with Ogrizko. Ogrizko needs thugs to help him with work, and he is also willing to make friends with Long Zhan.
This is the most standard "everyone gets what he needs"!
