Chapter three hundred and eighty third, cooperation(1/2)
"Minister, urgent message from Moscow."
Just when Mikhail was a little overwhelmed by Hua Yihan's words and was thinking about refusing, Pavlovich hurried over with a telegram.
"urgent telegram!"
Mikhail took the telegram and looked at it, and was stunned.
"Minister Mihayiner, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the cooperation and it needs to be terminated?" Hua Yihan asked, seeing Mihayiner in a daze.
"There is no problem with the cooperation and can continue. However, there are some troubles in the subsequent business cooperation. Moscow requires us to change to cash settlement. The barter transaction method is not in our interests. We need foreign exchange."
"Minister Mikhail, what you mean is that if we purchase aircraft or technology in the future, we will need to use rubles or US dollars, not RMB or commodities."
"Not just commodities, but even RMB and rubles are not acceptable. Moscow requires settlement in US dollars." Mikhail shook his head and said.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this." Hua Yihan shook her head, "Exchanging things for things was decided by Mr. Lei, our boss, and no one can change it.
If you don't want to, the transaction can be canceled."
"Why, aren't foreign exchange and commodities the same? If you use foreign exchange, Moscow has said that the price can be negotiated and it can be cheaper than now."
Hearing that Huayihan was going to stop trading, Mihayin was a little panicked.
The current transactions between Dongfang Group and Maozi exceed one billion US dollars every month. It can be said that Maozi’s dignity is maintained by Dongfang Group. Once the transaction stops, what will happen...
"It's very simple. Because of barter transactions, the products we provide can solve your problem of commodity shortage. These are related to people's livelihood and can benefit ordinary people.
If you use cash!
With all due respect, as soon as the money is put into the account, it will be divided up by others. It cannot be said that it is not used for practical purposes, but it is very small, and the small amount can be ignored, and it does not help people’s livelihood at all.”
"It's possible!" Mikhail nodded.
Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see the current situation in the country.
Regardless of the fact that the government has distributed large amounts of cash or shares to the people, as if the common prosperity means food and drink, but I don’t know how many powerful people are taking advantage of the power at hand...
What is certain is that the so-called property in the hands of the people is rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and will soon become worthless.
"But this has something to do with you. As long as you have money, you can get what you want, even aircraft engines. Why not accept it."
Mikhail asked.
"The relationship is big." Hua Yihan shrugged and explained: "Da Mao is a great country like us. It is impossible for such a country to remain in chaos.
In a few years or more than ten years, powerful figures will emerge.
After stability, Da Mao will find that we have poached a lot of the huge military industry left by Mao Xiong, do you think you will be resentful?"
"There may be a bit of resentment, but you gave me money!"
"Money has been given, but as for the money, have the people seen it? It has been embezzled.
Everyone will only suspect that we teamed up with the corrupt elements within you and took advantage of your weakness to remove many good things. This will have a huge impact on the relationship between the two countries.
If someone joins in, we might turn against each other and allow Western countries to reap the benefits.
In comparison, exchanging goods for goods is much better.
Although we moved a lot of things, we also sent more things.
Although these have no great effect on national defense, they solve the problem of people's livelihood and benefit every ordinary person. Even if some people take advantage of the situation, the eyes of the ordinary people are sharp.
He would say that although Rabbit moved a lot of industrial equipment, the things they sent helped us get through the weakest period. Industrial equipment cannot be eaten or used. It can be said that kindness outweighs hatred, and we are still good brothers."
"Kindness is greater than hatred, you guys are really thinking too far." Hua Yihan's words made Mihayin'er's heart sting.
A foreigner can be so considerate and willing to give benefits to the people for the sake of the future, but the powerful people in the country are eager to take away every last copper from the people's hands, which is even more outrageous than the tsar back then.
"If you do this, you will encounter a lot of resistance." After a moment of silence, Mikhail reminded him kindly.
"There's not much resistance." Hua Yihan shook her head,
"Your Excellency, Deputy Minister, I can actually tell you frankly that you also know that although the military-industrial legacy left by Mao Xiong is huge, we are the only ones who are interested in it, and Western countries don't care at all.
As for meeting some greedy guys, they recognize money but not people.
fine!
We are not static either.
You can spend some cash, tens or thousands of dollars to buy them off, as long as the general direction of exchanging goods for goods remains unchanged.
"As long as the general direction of exchanging goods for goods remains unchanged!"
"Yes, only in this way can we ensure the supply of basic materials for the people of your country, so that mothers will not worry about lack of food, and so that veterans of the Patriotic War will not sell their medals to survive.
We will not let those beautiful girls degenerate for food...
Your country will rise again, but it will take time and there will be a lot of pain. Cooperating with us can ensure the vitality and dignity of your nation to the greatest extent."
"I need to think about it and get back to you in a few days." Mikhail felt his head was a little swollen and he needed time to digest.
--------
"Mikhail agreed to cooperate." Three days later, Lei Weidong received a call from Hua Yihan.
"Yes!" Hua Yihan on the other end of the phone nodded, "Unlike those who sell out their interests, Mikhail is an old Bolshevik. In his heart, the country is important, and so are the people.
Now the number of people in the advisory group seems to be increasing, and everyone wants to go with Mikhail to conduct a thorough investigation of Mao Xiong’s family so that they can conduct a house raid in the future.”
"In the past, don't just look at the equipment, contact more scientific researchers. I hope to recruit those people more than Mao Xiong's equipment."
Lei Weidong reminded.
"I will let people contact us, but Wei Dong, according to the information sent back by Jiang Lang and others, most of Mao Xiong's scientific researchers are in contact with the West. They want to go to Western countries more than us."
"It's okay, we can recruit as many as we can. Except for the top Western needs, those scientific researchers, ordinary personnel, the West simply doesn't care about. After all, they have different technical systems.
They went to the West to provide some technical information about woolly bears, but the rest was of no use at all. It was probably hard to even find a job.
Capitalist countries may engage in charity and need to distribute according to work.
Not like us!
Although the industrial system of Mao Xiong is worse than that of Europe and the United States, it is much better than ours, and it is of the same origin and can be inherited very well, just like tanks.
I heard that China is developing a third-generation tank, which is based on Mao Xiong’s T-72.”
"It seems so. The person in charge is Chief Engineer Zhu. This is a legendary figure with the title of one-armed miracle worker. What, you want to help them?"
"Helping one person is helping, and helping a group is also helping. Don't forget the tanks when we go to Mao Xiong this time. I heard that Mao Xiong's T-80U is very good. I will try to get its detailed information and finished products to see if I can give it to I wish them help."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Although Hua Yihan is not a soldier, she has too many soldiers in her family. She has been influenced by them and has a good impression of the army. She will definitely help if she can.
"By the way, is there any news from Mao Xiong? What's the situation now?" I only heard about Mao Xiong Lei Weidong in his previous life. I only know that it's a mess, but I don't know the exact extent of the chaos.
“It’s a mess!”
Mentioning Mao Xiong, Hua Yihan's tone was a bit dark, not worth it for Mao Xiong to be in this situation, "Jiang Lang's side is fine, their main activity is in Ermao, and it's safer to have someone with real power take care of them.
The same cannot be said for people in Moscow.
According to them, from the moment the tanks rolled onto the Red Square, the bear was on the verge of chaos.
Because the matter was caused by a few marshals and the heads of the KGB, after the situation calmed down, their departments became the scapegoats. The TV was full of speeches and criticisms that wanted to liquidate them, and asked the higher authorities to deal with them."
"Dealing with the KGB, this is the real power department of Mao Xiong. If we deal with it, the impact will be too great." Although I am not familiar with Mao Xiong, the name of the KGB is well known to even an outsider like Lei Weidong.
"Yes, the KGB has great power, but even though they caused public outrage, now not only the KGB is paralyzed, but many departments in Moscow are paralyzed because their officials were expelled.
The market is even more out of stock.
Fortunately, our group brought a lot of things over and managed to maintain the situation, otherwise there would have been riots in Moscow."
"Is it that serious?"
"It's ten times more serious than you think." Hua Yihan said,
“Due to the collapse of social order, our group has become a Xiang Gang. Because we have material resources, I don’t know how many people and even officials come to us and recommend themselves. They want to work for us. They don’t need to give money, just give material goods.
By the way, Weidong, are you interested in Russian beauties? Do you want to watch the original version of Swan Lake?"
While talking, Hua Yihan started joking.
"Genuine Swan Lake, what do you mean?" Lei Weidong was a little confused.
"The chaos has spread to schools, song and dance troupes and other places. Many people have lost their jobs. I heard from Xiao Wang that many beautiful girls came to our office to seek help.
They are all from formal song and dance troupes, ballet schools, Moscow University or gymnastics troupes.
Some of them are particularly beautiful and have good personalities. They are all top beauties. If necessary, they can form a ballet troupe and come to Xiangjiang to perform for you alone."
"Perform Swan Lake for me alone, Yihan, are you going to trick me again?" The Russian Ballet's Swan Lake is world-famous, and Lei Weidong would certainly be willing to see it.
However, although there are many women around him, after he got married, they have formed an alliance and prohibited him from contacting beautiful women again.
I am afraid that I will bring someone home again.
Hua Yihan allowed herself to watch Swan Lake, or she chose beauties from Russia to form a special group to perform. No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.
Hua Yihan probably has a tape recorder over there, if he agrees.
Immediately report to Salena and others.
