In its publication, https://steemit.com/life/@spinner/my-teacher-benya-zho , I told him about Eugene Baranova, my teacher at the boat spinning and other. In the same article, I mentioned that today he is a leading expert of one of the largest Russian companies producing on their own and importing from all over the world the best examples of fishing equipment and lures.
Now tell me how it all began...
Eugene for his life several times tried to organize their own business. As soon as the state gave the nod to free enterprise, he living then in Nizhny Novgorod, engaged in the distillation of cars from Finland. With varying degrees of success. After that, he and his friends organized a business delivery and sales of auto spare parts for Russian cars (Muscovites,a Zhiguli,Volga). The following entry was in the segment sales of cars themselves, with a focus on cargo and cargo-and-passenger Gazelle. All these business projects were given the opportunity to feed the family.

And from that moment on, that is, the last 15 + years , he is only concerned with a fishing theme. I met him at a time when his name and the opportunity to spend a week or two vacation with fishing started to gain popularity ( then still in narrow circles).

When Eugene expanded its ability to welcome guests, build a few more houses and adding to the fleet of boats, it began to come big companies. Including the guys from different fishing firms.

And then one day (from the story of uncle Zhenya) called him the head of a large company (let's call her "M") and inquired about the possibility to bring in Barmino foreign guest. The goal is to test the latest rods Japanese production (the designer of which was a foreigner-Japanese) , and to film it. Uncle Jack responded positively, promising that everything will be at its best...

The film also turned out great. He got out two pieces in another, then a live video application to the magazine "Rybachte with us" ( still can be found on the torrents. The editions of January and February 2014) and aroused great interest and approval of the fishing community.
After this success, the uncle's Wife and received an offer from the head of the company "M" to become a permanent employee in the rank of expert. Uncle Jack accepted the offer.
