The rest was easy to handle. Zhang Yaowu and his men carefully put the drunk Kaminski into a police car that could fit him. Then Jiang Botao followed Liu Lang and
Kaminsky rushed to the Brave Club together, arrived
Club Shao Mingtao quickly called five service staff to wash Kaminsky from head to toe, and also found him a pair of clean pajamas to put on. Despite all this effort, Kaminsky still slept soundly. If it hadn't been for him
Gritting his teeth and farting, Liu Lang thought he was dead.
The old man slept for sixteen hours. It seemed that he was really tired. I don’t know how he spent a week on the China-Russia train. He didn’t leave the room until ten o’clock the next morning.
When he came out, the waiter immediately informed Liu Lang.
"Hello, old gentleman, we meet again!"
Liu Lang appeared in front of Kaminsky. The seventy-year-old man was very excited when he saw this familiar face, and a trace of tears flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"My Chinese friend, I never thought I could really see you here!"
Kaminsky covered his face with his hands, his expression very complicated, both excited and painful.
"Old sir, are you hungry? Let's talk while we eat!"
Kaminsky slept for more than ten hours, and the fatigue on his body was gone. However, when he heard the meal, his stomach growled again. Russians have big appetites. They didn't eat much at the police station yesterday. They just drank too much. What's wrong with them?
It is said that you don’t have to eat food, but you must drink wine.
The Yongli Club has a chef who specializes in Western food, and prepared beef and bread for Kaminsky, but there was no wine. This guy's wine taste is really not very good. Now is the time to talk about things, not to drink.
"Liu, don't you have any wine here? I like your Chinese wine very much, the one with a red star on it. Give me some!"
Kaminsky saw that there was no wine and asked for it.
"Old sir, I have plenty of wine, but now you want to tell me how you came to China?"
Liu Lang smiled and shook his head.
"No wine...Okay, Liu, our Soviet Union has disintegrated. This great country no longer exists, and I can't live anymore. I came to China hoping that you can help us, help me."
child!"
Kaminsky suddenly started crying, which startled Liu Lang.
"Old sir, don't cry. If you have anything to do, tell me and I will do my best to help you. Don't cry!"
"Okay, that's it!"
Kaminsky began to talk about his experiences in the past two years.
Needless to say, Liu Lang also knew the general idea. It was just that the country was gone and the people could no longer live such a life. This was the importance of the country. When the country was stable, some people always found fault, saying that this country was not good or that.
It's not good, but once the country's political situation becomes unstable, the people will be the first to suffer. If the country is divided, then the people will be left miserable. This is the case in all countries.
In his previous life, Liu Lang had read an article about the social situation after the collapse of the Soviet Union in a book. It was accurate to describe it as horrific, but it was only a description in a book and was far from as direct as a person involved.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the lives of all the people at the bottom immediately collapsed. First of all, they lost their income. Even the country went bankrupt, not to mention the enterprises. Especially the large state-owned factories were occupied by oligarchs in a very short period of time, and the oligarchs fired them.
There are a lot of workers, but not even 10% of them are left.
When the country disintegrated, the financial system also collapsed. A large number of banks collapsed. The money that people had worked hard to save was wiped out overnight. Even if many people exchanged their money in advance, it was useless because the ruble depreciated crazily. The original value
One dollar has now become two cents.
The financial system has collapsed and ordinary people cannot afford to buy things. Even if some people hold US dollars, it is difficult to buy necessities. First of all, the country is paralyzed. Many people in various departments are unemployed. If you are unemployed, who will care about others? Without state departments, enter
Export trade has largely stagnated.
Then there are all kinds of goods gathered in the hands of a small number of dealers. They hoard them and charge the prices of goods at a much too high price. They only accept US dollars and not rubles. Only a very small number of dealers can buy goods on the black market.
It is true that the Russian government is also playing a substitute role, but it is full of ambition but not enough power! The only thing that can be done is to regularly distribute food to the people who can barely survive.
Not to mention other places, even in the streets of the capital Moscow, you can see corpses of those who died of starvation and freezing, with wild dogs snatching away the corpses. How is this a scene that a big country should have? It is not common even in poor countries in Africa.
Kaminsky has three children. They were all factory workers. As a result, they all lost their jobs. They also had children. The family of more than a dozen people, big and small, suddenly had no source of livelihood. They went to the streets every day to grab government relief.
What he got was barely enough to fill his stomach. If he didn't get it for a day, he would go hungry. Sometimes he would fight with others over the relief food. One of his sons had a broken leg because of this and was lying at home unable to move.
Kaminsky was originally a "hermit" who hid in the factory and didn't care about the world. He used to have a pension, but now it's all gone, and all the things in the factory have been moved away and sold for money. Who will care if the country is gone?
These are completely blatant.
Kaminsky was really sad to see his grandchildren suffering so much, but he couldn't help it! The powerless people had no choice but to accept their fate at this time. They are now at the bottom of society and can only
Waiting to die.
At this moment he thought of Liu Lang.
If Liu Lang had not given Kaminsky his contact information, he would have been just a passer-by, and there would have been no more interactions. Perhaps many years later, Kaminsky's name would appear in the yearbook of China's large aircraft program, saying that this person was a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army
It has contributed to the great aircraft project, nothing more.
But Liu Lang not only wanted to get those drawings, but also wanted these experts to come to China, so he gave them his contact information with the idea of giving it a try. It was this small note that became Kaminski's life-saving
straw.
He bought a China-Russia train ticket at a high price of three hundred US dollars. Of course, this money was given to him at the beginning and he has not spent it in the past two years. This money is also the only money he has. It would be great if he succeeds.
If it doesn't succeed, it's hard to say whether he can come back. Anyway, Kaminsky is really determined to die.
Facts have proved that his bet was right. Liu Lang had been waiting for his call for more than two years.
"Old sir, you and I will definitely find a way to bring your family here!"
"Bring it here? Bring it to China?"
This answer was somewhat beyond Kaminsky's expectations. He came to Liu Lang to ask him to help him. As for how to help him? The best way is to give him a sum of money. He had also seen Liu Lang's generosity before, so he casually
That's tens of thousands of dollars.
Kaminsky felt that it didn't take much, as long as he was given 10,000 US dollars, and his family could get through this difficult time. The country cannot always be like this.
But now Liu Lang proposes to bring his family to China. This...
