The dream of life was beginning to take shape
— Come on, don't be offended, forget that evening.
Sutokhin lowered his voice to a whisper:
— We'll be busy with big things. These scarves and chains are junk here, and they're tearing them off with their hands. You'll get your share, and you'll buy a car in a year or two...
The "firm" has developed a rapid activity. The sneaky cook and his "pupil" Sergei were sent to Greenfield Road, where Sutokhin knew there was a small magavin, whose owner, one Dean Gouberg, spoke Russian well. He always had goods that were in demand among sailors. Lansky and Nikitin were instructed to buy a pair of windbreakers for show, and, most importantly, more anodized chains, magnetic bracelets and Japanese headscarves.
Sutokhin himself went to St. James Street. He loved walking along this bustling, beautiful street among the respectable buildings of banks, commercial and industrial firms, hotels and luxury supermarkets to the point of sweet sinking in his heart. Boris believed that with their monetary "authority" they outshone even Mount Royal with its ancient mansions, beautiful green park and impressive cathedral at the top.
Walking along St. James's Street, Sutokhin felt involved in this world of Big Money, because greenish bills were also crunching in his pockets. If you have dollars, you're a human being, if you don't, you're a bug! And it doesn't matter which way the treasured dollars got to you. Let there be more and more of them. Boris was intoxicated by the thought that now he could go into any store and buy things that would turn back into money at home and make him several times richer than he is now. Bought — delivered — sold. Bought — delivered — sold.
Sutokhin's dream of life was beginning to take shape.
Lying on the sofa in a cozy cabin, Sutokhin recalled with obvious pleasure how ingeniously he, Lansky and Nikitin had brought two and a half thousand scarves and a full package of chains, bracelets and other tinsel onto the ship, how quickly and securely they had hidden all this in the most unexpected places on the ship. Everything is going great so far, and not a single person will be able to guess about the hiding places of Sutokhin and Co.
The homegrown businessman recalled with no less pleasure his successes in the field of "extorting" tips from foreign passengers. Bot at least the day before yesterday, this Swedish couple from the suite. How cleverly he rode up to them! They asked him to bring a cornflex in English to the cabin. Sutokhin knew for sure that this dish was not on the menu of ship restaurants. But he also knew that twenty enchanted chefs could brilliantly cook any dish impromptu: from Russian pancakes to English steak, from Azerbaijani kutaba to French pastries. So, if necessary, this same cornflex will be depicted in the best possible way.
Therefore, Sutokhin, carefully choosing his English words, very politely and with a flattering smile assured the customers that although there were no dishes on the ship that they were interested in, he would personally do everything for such respectable and respected guests and fulfill the order at all costs.
The passengers were flattered. The Swede began thanking the charming young man in advance. An hour later, when Sutokhin deftly placed the ordered dish on the table, the occupant of the suite handed him a brand-new ten-dollar bill in a waxed envelope.
—Senk yu," the steward thanked modestly and quickly put the envelope into the pocket of his snow—white uniform jacket.
The Swede looked triumphantly at his wife, a prim, gaunt lady, and said something to her in his own language. Then he explained to Sutokhin:
— My wife assured me that the Soviets do not charge money for services. They supposedly won't be allowed to do it... how to say it ... communist beliefs. What do you think about this?
Sutokhin couldn't openly explain to a naive Scandinavian that he was facing a man whose beliefs were very far from communist. The instinct of self—preservation restrained the tongue of the head of the "firm", and he used a proven tool - flattery, knowing from experience that people perceive it favorably.
