The luck of agile Gogik. A story.


Gogik's career began with a trading of small items at a local bazaar.


Trading at the bazaar was a fun business, but this activuity wasn't always useful for a health.


One day, a nearby merchant (Gogik's neighbor by bazaar) , looking at his smartphone, said that in one of the oblasts (on the western border), - which was constantly mentioned in the news, - three-story houses (with one hectare of land) on the riverbank were being sold. Such a household costs five thousand rubles.


Gogik hesitated for about ten seconds. He found his distant relative at the bazaar, borrowed ten thousand rubles from him and headed to that oblast.


It was difficult to get to the right house on the riverbank, but Gogik overcame all obstacles.


The house was beautiful, the fence was high.


Gogik walked around the fence and admired the house.


From somewhere, a man, unshaven, in a greasy sweatshirt, got out of a dugout (or out a basement) and approached Gogik.


- This is my nephew selling a house with a land plot! - the man from the dugout explained.


- How much does it cost? Gogik asked.


- Five thousand rubles!


- It's expensive! Let's do it for four and a half!


- We can do it for four and a half.


At that moment, a noise was heard in the sky. Something rumbled, and a part of fence collapsed fifty meters from Gogik (and the man).


- Jump in here! - The man in the greasy sweatshirt commanded.


Gogik, following the man, jumped down into a hollow in the ground.


- If you is agree to buy, then give me the money! - the unshaven man commanded.


- Where is the contract?


- Okay. We will write the contract ...


- How it is: "we will write"? And where is the owner?


- I am the representative of the owner!


- Is there a proxy [a power of attorney]?


- The proxy ... will be.


Soon Gogik received the contract, the proxy, and the keys to the three-story house.


A local official (representative of the village administration) came, talked to Gogik and left. Happy Gogik walked around premises of the big house.


Gogik enjoyed visits to the riverbank.


When Gogik was swimming in the river, something rumbled, blowed up near him. From that time, Gogik periodically heard a ringing in his head.


Ten days later, five beautiful cars drove up to Gogik's house, and people in suits and ties got out. Gogik (just in case) put in his pocket the contract, the proxy, and the receipt (confirming Gogik's payment for real estate) and went out to the persons in ties.


- Tell us what problems you have here! - the most energetic person from the most beautiful car suggested.


Gogik said that a kilometer from his big house, there is a large pit on the road that prevents passage of cars.


People in suits put Gogik in one of the cars, drove up to the pit and began to inspect it.


At that moment, a loud noise was heard in the sky. Before the eyes of Gogik and the people in suits, the house acquired by Gogik ceased to exist.


- Draw up an act (the necessary official document)! - the most energetic man commanded.


His companions took out both a portable printer and smartphone and prepared to draw up the act.


- Who are you? What's your name? - they asked Gogik.


- I am the owner! Here's my contract! Receipt! Look at that! My name is Gogik!


- Why the contract was not registered according the established (official) order?


- You see, what a situation is here ...


- Yes... And where is the date of the contract? When was it concluded?


Gogik, because of the ringing in his head, confused the year of purchase of the house.


People in suits had entered Gogik's name and other data into the act. They signed this document, and did additions to the list of persons who lost their property.


Gogik was upset about the loss of his house. But, unexpectedly, he felt the benefits of his new status.


Now he was not a small trader from the local bazaar, but a "person from the list." Such official recognition gave Gogik a certain financial buoyancy.


Gogik grew a big beard (previously, a beard was not for his status), got married, had ten children and became an active participant in the 'Russian North' forum.


At the meetings of the forum, he spoke as a victim, as a person "from the list", he explained the advantages of the new administration, the importance of proper diplomatic contacts, mentioned the discount rate of the Central Bank and praised the strengthening of a ruble.


One day, a famous director of tourist and documentary films came to the 'Russian North' forum. (The films were shooting with the financial support of the Film Initiatives Foundation, the Russian Geodendrological Society and other authoritative organizations).


Soon Gogik took part in the preparation of tourist and documentary films of the right orientation, he organized an artificial intelligence laboratory, received 450 million rubles for a new film (about the fate of people "from the list"), as well as a mega-grant for a project to improve artificial intelligence.


The new information reality needed to be widely disseminated to all continents. Gogik visited different countries. He was talking about economic growth and new prospects.


One day he liked a house on a beautiful island. The house was big. The plot of land is one hectare. Nearby is the ocean shore. The house was in the process of being sold.


Soon Gogik (together with the seller of the house) visited the local municipality. "Signor Dorio! Please register the purchase contract!"


Signor Dorio entered the necessary data into the database, made an inscription on the contract, turned on the printer, printed out and handed Gogik the Certificate of ownership of the oceanfront house.


After returning to the new house, Gogik walked through the floors. The new house was no worse than the one he bought for four and a half thousand rubles.


The ocean had a beneficial effect on Gogik. The ringing in his head stopped.


Gogik hung a large photograph (framed, under glass) in one of the halls. The photo shows Gogik together with the honored guests of the 'Russian North' forum.
