Specialists in trade with the East. A story.


The Rector of the Institute of the East concluded his speech to the students of the School of Young Talents "Saturn":


- Trade with the countries of the East has a great prospects! Our Institute trains specialists in trade with the East. I invite you to enroll in our Institute. What are your questions?


One of the students of the School stood up:


- You said that Japanese samurai tend to overestimate their own importance, to demonstrate their nobility, that they are filled with a militaristic, warlike spirit. I don't understand: why Japan and China, which fought each other, have the most diverse and deep economic ties, a huge trade turnover, and Russia and China (whose history of relations is filled with examples of friendship) have more modest results of economic cooperation?


- Representatives of our, Russial, business are not well-versed in the conditions of economic cooperation with the countries of the East. We need specialists, experts, consultants, - competent people. That is why I invite you to study at our Institute. Thank you for your attention!


The performance has ended. The rector went to a special room, from which he took part in the next broadcast of the Oriental bag cycle via a special communication line (one of the authors on the Internet came up with the "Asian box" ... - they borrowed a little, redone a little ... - specialists, experts, consultants ...).


After the radio broadcast, there is a sports training. The rector teaches oriental martial arts to Semyon Semyonovich's fourth wife and to children from his first, second and third wives. Prior to his appointment at position of rector, he coached the second wife and then third one, and proved himself very well.


After the training session, there is a meeting in the steam room with Semyon Semyonovich. Semyon Semyonovich asks the rector:


- What, Vasya-millionaire, does he use consultations from you on the trade with the East?


- Yes, he signed a loan agreement today, and tomorrow morning he will receive money from the bank - one hundred billion rubles. He is going to buy ice cream, vegetable oil, honey, various agricultural products and to sell all these goods in the markets of Oriental Giant. Everything is agreed. We are doing a regular consultations for him.


- "Good plans," - Semyon Semyonovich says sadly, - "but he has problems with financial norms and with the implementation of established rules."...


Semyon Semyonovich goes into the next room and takes the cell phone:


- Petya, according to the latest data, Vasya-millionaire will receive one hundred billion rubles tomorrow. But he has problems with financial norms and with the implementation of established rules.... The money is under the risk ...


Semyon Semyonovich returns to the steam room:


- And how are the Kostya-billionaire doing? Does he use consultations from you?


- Yes, he is interested in the East and plans to make a lot of money. The markets are huge, and the prospects are vast...


- "All right," - Semyon Semyonovich says approvingly, - "we're looking East now. Well, I'm going to hug the kids, and then I will go home... Okay, you keep preparing specialists, experts, consultants ... We need them - we don't have Japanese samurai... someone has to develop trade with the East....
