When Jing Jian returned to Los Angeles, in just three days, Rong Kai had already launched the first generation of Esky computers. It can be seen that Rongkai's technical strength is outstanding, of course, thanks to the software and hardware support of Intel and Microsoft. It uses Intel's latest 486 CPU and Microsoft's indos 3.0 operating system, which on the surface can be said to be the most advanced configuration of its time. However, the other configurations such as memory, hard disk, and graphics card can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The entire system, including a monitor, floppy drive, mouse and keyboard, costs only $2,350, compared to about $2,600 to $2,800 for similar computers on the market, which is the first time that the price is less than $2,500. The reason why there is such an ultra-low price, in addition to not pursuing performance and using mature spare parts, there are two reasons: do not do any advertising, and sell directly through Bluestar.com. From this point of view, Wang Lie's idea at that time can be said to be not wrong. Another point is that most of the patents are Yikai's own, and from the cost accounting, only the lowest patent package fee is calculated.

In addition, Esky Computer also comes with a random Internet package that includes a membership to Bluestar and 100 hours of free Internet access. Therefore, on the first day of the launch of the homepage and email advertisement of Bluestar.com, the 100 units of Esky computer that had just been finalized and produced were sold out in stock, and more than 700 units were also ordered. Rongkai's U.S. factory finally ended its semi-shutdown and began to resume production......

......

At the same time, Jing Jian was receiving Nona and her party. Sure enough, they came for Andrei's business.

"Nona, I'm so glad to see you. The two of them hugged the veneer ceremony, and Jing Jian smiled and said, "You should know that I was busy with the acquisition some time ago, and now I just have time and want to find you." ”

Nona's body was obviously a little stiff, she squeezed out a smile, and looked at Jing Jian suspiciously: "Bramble, do you have anything to do with us?"

Jing Jianjian showed a strange expression: "Didn't you give me another loan of 3.8 billion rubles? What? Doesn't there need to discuss the list of purchases? And don't you need me to buy your Soviet dollar bonds?"

Nona and the others looked at each other, they didn't expect that Jing Jian would actually take the initiative to mention the loan. In fact, before they set off, Nona they thought it was quite tricky. The hole that Andrei poked is so big that the new loan of 3.8 billion rubles can no longer be issued, and he is not afraid of default, no one will be so brainless, can he go to the territory of the Soviet Union to carry it out? Do you really think that polar bears are vegetarians?

But on the other hand, Foreign Trade Bank also has a loan of 68 million US dollars in Jing Jian's hands. Moreover, all of Jing Jian's contracts and procedures are legal (the loan contract was confirmed by Kaiwen Law Firm and sent to the Hong Kong branch of the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank). After all, Jing Jian is not a nobody, that is, he was once the richest man in the world and a famous director, so he can't tear his face and use the KGB, right?

"I'm sorry, but I'm Miushav, the Central Bank of the USSR. Someone on the side stepped forward and shook hands with Jing Jian. Apparently this Miushav was the leader of these Soviets, "Mr. Bramble, I don't want to hide from you, Andrei, who signed a contract with you, has already absconded for embezzlement. ”

"Huh?" Jing Jian was "taken aback", "absconding, what else...... Corruption? Do you know where he is? Isn't that a mistake?"

Miusaf smiled bitterly: "Mr. Bramble, sit down, let's talk slowly......"

“......”

Miusaf was very detailed and honest. Jing Jian basically knew everything about the previous situation anyway, but when Andre's recent situation was introduced, Jing Jian was also shocked by Andre's actions.

After leaving the United States, André went to Europe to reunite with his mistress and withdraw money from a Swiss bank. Then the two of them ran to the UK with fake passports, ready to settle down incognito, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the British side when they passed through customs.

So Andrei had an idea and simply applied for political asylum on the grounds of "****". And Britain was nothing more than taking advantage of it, and in the end not only agreed to the political asylum of him and his mistress, but also asked André to organize a free and democratic exile society, which was open to public activities, and also gave speeches everywhere. Of course, most of the funds for the activities of the exile society were the proceeds of Andre's embezzlement and bribery.

Well, Andrei is in pain and happy, and it is really distressing for the money to go out, but it does not prevent his reputation from getting louder and louder. Unexpectedly, with such a high profile, the Soviet side was also blinded. Isn't it some kind of "new thinking, détente with the West"? I can only watch Andrei get mixed up, and the only thing he can do is "protest, protest."

Jing Jian shook his head, he really didn't expect that Andre was a talent. Understand that the most dangerous place is the safest place?

But today I'm not here to talk about that "talent" named Andrei. As soon as he finished his introduction, Miushav asked, "Mr. Bramble, the reason why we are looking for you today is not to ask anything, but to solve the problem amicably. First of all, I want to ask, when are you going to repay that $68 million loan?"

Jing replied: "According to the contract, there are still four working days before the one-month repayment period. However, there is a special circumstance, and my funds have been turned, so I will transfer it to your foreign trade bank tomorrow. There are still a few days of interest to count, and I still pay the monthly interest on the contract. It should be fine tomorrow, right? The night in Los Angeles is beautiful, and I'd like to invite the beautiful Miss Nona to join you in the night view. ”

Nona laughed, "I won't say yes." There was a burst of laughter in the room. Of course, tonight's visit was not in that mood, but Jing Jian's statement at least made them put down more than half of their hearts, and the other half needed to wait until tomorrow after the transfer procedures were completed.

The atmosphere was a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, and Jing Jian also took the initiative to introduce the situation of the negotiation with Andre: "...... At that time, Mr. Andrei came to me and asked me if I needed a new loan in rubles, and finally the 800 million rubles and the loan of 3 billion were negotiated, and there was a list of the goods that you could provide me with for export. ”

Miusaf took the list and immediately frowned. This list is indeed written by Andrei himself, anyway, in order to get money from Andrei at that time, he would write whatever Jing Jian said, all of which were in short supply for export strictly controlled by the Soviet Union. And this list was simply unacceptable to the Soviet side......
