Fifty mobile phones are worth $200,000.
This was 1991, and the value of the U.S. dollar was quite strong, not a small amount of money. The key was that the ruble was depreciating crazily. Soon, the ruble that could sell a house could only buy a pack of cigarettes.
"Young man, do you want to openly bribe me?"
Chuikov had wrinkles on his forehead and looked angry.
Zhou Qingfeng spread his hands indifferently, "I am a businessman and like to make investments. Maybe you will repay me in the future?"
"I will not sell out any national interests."
"I don't need you to sell anything, I just need you to sell me things that can be sold normally. Give me some convenience by the way.
For example, the aviation advisory group I will send next will be larger in size and there will be more places I want to visit. I don’t want to waste time on various approval notifications. Maybe a phone call can solve a lot of troubles?”
In another corner of the conference hall, dozens of old comrades from the advisory group were working silently or communicating in low voices. They had worked hard in their respective positions for a lifetime, but their old bodies were regenerating their vitality.
There was an old researcher who was using the hotel phone to make international long distance calls. This is the kind of hotel that has special conveniences for foreign calls.
Chuikov felt uncomfortable with Zhou Qingfeng's words, and he had every reason to stand in anger. But he heard someone talking and laughing in Russian, and after only hearing a few words, he confirmed the person they were contacting...
The Central Aerodynamics Research Institute of the Soviet Union is a scientific research institution specializing in the basic theory and applied technology of aero-engines.
This institute was built in the city of Zhukovsky and was the core military-industrial research institute of the Soviet Union.
Cuikov's gaze turned, and Zhou Qingfeng followed suit.
"That person seems to be a researcher from our 628th Institute, who also studies aviation power. He seems to be..."
Zhou Qingfeng listened for a while, then called his secretary and whispered: "Let the old comrades from the 628 Institute across the street pay attention to their diplomatic influence. He is poaching in front of the deputy minister. This is too much."
The secretary hurriedly went over to deliver the message. The old comrade across from him had studied in the Soviet Union and was reminiscing about the past with his old classmates and friends from the Soviet Union and building friendship.
After listening to the secretary's words, the old consultant realized that he seemed to be too happy.
When the old comrade lowered his voice, Zhou Qingfeng could only laugh at Cuikov and said: "The international flow of talents is quite normal.
Your country's nuclear physicist might end up working as a janitor at Caltech, while your brilliant math Ph.D. might work as a washerwoman in New York for an idiot old lady who can't remember her multiplication tables."
Zhou Qingfeng alternated between being flattering and mean, prompting the deputy minister to angrily ask, "Young man, is your foul mouth specially used to eat shit?"
Zhou Qingfeng shrugged, "I just want to be honest and remind you how cruel reality is to those who have subjugated their country. Let's make some deals while you are still worth some money."
"We have not yet subjugated our country." Chuikov roared angrily.
Everyone in the conference hall turned to watch.
The invisible goblins were currently flying on Chuikov's white-haired head. Seven of them stretched out their small staffs and chanted silently.
They sent a message in the master-servant contract, "Master, continue to irritate him. His psychological defense is about to collapse."
Zhou Qingfeng sneered slightly and gave a fatal blow, "In the referendum in your country a few months ago, did you choose to retain the alliance or disband the alliance?"
The young Chuikov was stunned immediately and trembled all over.
As an old Bolshevik, Chuikov's thoughts are extremely firm. The goblins teamed up to "charm humans" and could not shake his will.
But when the deputy minister met Zhou Qingfeng, he was shaken repeatedly by being hot and cold, like pulling out nails. Faced with great changes, he could not see the future.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.
When the ideals and treasures they have guarded throughout their lives are ruthlessly dismantled, how many people can avoid being hurt?
Zhou Qingfeng's words made the gray-haired old Chuikov lower his head, his eyes were wet, and he could not control himself. The 'charming human' took effect, and the deputy minister lost his guard and agreed to a series of cooperation requests.
For example, the opening of external exchanges between high-level personnel and research departments within the Soviet aviation industry caused the "Holy Light" advisory group's contact memorandum to add hundreds of pages.
Fifty mobile phones were naturally given away.
So as long as Zhou Qingfeng delivers 1,000 mobile phones, the four Tu-154s that have been built will leave the tarmac of the Kuibyshev Aircraft Factory and gradually fly to Nanyuan Airport in the Imperial Capital for delivery.
Xiao Jinlang was even more overjoyed. He struck while the iron was hot and took out a list of consultants that had been prepared long ago. He immediately went to the Mao Zi Embassy to apply for a visa and buy a flight ticket to Moscow.
These old advisers will take multiple flights and set off with Vice Minister Chuikov.
If you want to raid someone else's home, you must first find out what's in their home. If you don't even know what's in your home, the efficiency of the raid will be low.
At this moment, most of Mao Xiong's scientific researchers are in contact with the West, but because they are in different technical systems, the lives of those who have subjugated their countries are not going well.
In addition to providing some pitiful intelligence, they can only live on scraps. The reason is that the West does not really need these subjugated people.
Senior scientific researchers not only need a good living environment, but also a large amount of scientific research funds and supporting facilities. The West has its own system and its own scientific researchers.
Not everyone is like the men's football team, which is not very good at football, but it is quite positive to spend tens of billions of dollars to introduce foreign players and naturalize them.
The agreement reached by Zhou Qingfeng and Vice Minister Cui Kefu spread quickly within half an hour, and the imperial ministries and many scientific research institutes were stunned by the content of the agreement.
When an old bureaucrat like Director Ma learned the details on the phone, he was so surprised that he lost his voice for a few seconds, and then made a new request to Xiao Jinlang - can you add more people to your advisory team? This is a great opportunity that you cannot let go.
What a great opportunity indeed!
Although there is a big gap between Lao Maozi's industrial system and Europe and the United States, it is the most adaptable to the current domestic situation.
Just like a domestically made tank, who doesn’t want the Abrams? Heavy armor, heavy artillery, high-performance power packs and advanced fire control. But in the end, the low-end route of the T-72 was chosen and slowly climbed up.
As a temporary office, more than a dozen phones in the small conference hall of the Imperial Hotel were immediately buzzed with calls. The phone calls kept ringing one after another.
Many people picked up the phone and answered directly without any nonsense: "Yes, yes, the news is correct. Our boss, Mr. Zhou, settled the matter with Lao Maozi. Chuikov made the greatest concession within the scope of his power."
Do you also want to join in? Ouch..., this is troublesome. We have enough people to charter a large passenger plane. If we need to add more people, it will not look good on us?
Do you really want to add it? Are you sure you want to add it? Okay, okay, I'll ask Mr. Zhou."
Who cares about face at this time?
Don't miss the opportunity; it will never come back.
The key is that Zhou Qingfeng approved a special sum of five million US dollars, which was specially used for the social entertainment and management of the advisory team after they went to the Soviet Union. He also said that he would bring a batch of electronic products as small gifts, specifically for giving.
I don't know how much time it would take and how many legs would be broken to approve such a large amount of money from another company. In Zhou Qingfeng's case, Lin Wan was directly transferred from the "Holy Light" account.
‘Holy Light’ has foreign exchange cash in the underground vault of its headquarters in Tianyang.
