Chapter 342: Trading
In the following days, Hu Wenhai can be regarded as a rare fairy-like life.
Wife and children hot kangtou, a man who came out of the icy northeast, these pursuits are really the greatest joy of life.
What's more, although the cold wind is still howling outside, Paula Castle is not a courtyard house or a north/Jingping castle in the mountains, but a modern design aristocratic castle in Romanian style.
After these small days, after our Mr. Hu was reborn, he finally realized the beautiful life of not being ashamed, being careless, and not getting out of bed all day. lived a life of morning pa, morning pa, noon pa, afternoon pa, dusk pa, night pa, and woke up in the middle of the night......
Fortunately, although Yulia is a two-haired girl, her personality is quite gentle, not to mention physically. Often Hu Wenhai has already raised his hand to surrender, but the girl is still unsatisfied, so she simply "sits up and moves by herself".
Should it really be said that he inherited the fine character of the Communists, who did it himself and had enough food and clothing?
But as the saying goes, there are only tired oxen, not ploughed land.
In this way, after a week, Kankan was squeezed dry, and even Mr. Hu, who used viagra, was released by Yulia with satisfaction. Fortunately, he is twenty years old, although the consumption is not small, a sleep and a meal of seafood will make up for it.
Natalia, a little girl, is rare to finally have her father by her side. In addition to spending time with Yulia, Hu Wenhai is happy to accompany Natalia to play games. Natalia, who is of mixed Chinese and Soviet descent, has long eyelashes and big eyes, and it is obvious that Yulia is also taking care of her so that this little elf grows up healthy and strong.
And in the days that followed. Niku as a landlord. Then he generously invited Hu Wenhai to play around in Romania.
Bucharest though it's winter. But there are still plenty of classic sights to visit. For example, the exquisite and unique royal palace of Pereš, the wooden church of Maramureš, the historic Dacian castle, and the Transennian village life that represent the Romanian national characteristics.
Romania has to say that it is really a beautiful and magnificent land. In the Danube Delta, vast expanses of rivers and plains stretch as far as the eye can see, as if all that is left in the world is the white sky and the rushing waters of the Danube.
This land can easily accommodate the people who live here. Live a relatively good life. They don't need to use every resource in the country to the limit like China, and they don't need to work hard to live well.
But also in this land, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in order to eat a bite of food, how many human tragedies have happened?
These tragic scenarios should not happen because there are abundant natural resources that can keep everyone alive. However, because of the change of the social system, on the one hand, a very small number of people have become oligarchs and big capitalists, and on the other hand, people are unwilling to starve to death, so they have to pawn their wives and sell their daughters.
Romania, with its outstanding people, has been dubbed a "European brothel/house". It's too painful.
However, this does not affect Hu Wenhai's relaxed and casual mood for travel, and the exotic style of Romania. soothed his frustration at the end of the battle in bed. After wandering around outside for almost half a month, he regained the courage to return to Paola's Castle.
Hu Wenhai, who is confident that he has returned to his peak state, is determined to re-establish his dignity as a man in front of Yulia.
The second time, after three days and three nights of earth-shattering hand-to-hand combat, he was defeated again.
Just when Hu Wenhai was singing and thinking about it all night, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally looked at Niku's face and showed a super high efficiency that had never been seen in the past. Romania's diplomatic motion for help in the creation of the optical industry was on the desk of the chairman of the GDR Council of Ministers. All kinds of pressure and olive branches from the KGB of the Soviet Union also extended their support, although Stasi did not come forward directly, the ministers in various relevant fields expressed their support for this plan.
Even without the KGB and Stasi, the GDR would not have suffered a loss for this program. Although the optical industry is a high-tech industry, its own market size is not large. Carl Zeiss's main business area is focused on the optical lenses of cameras. In addition, there are products in the fields of optical instruments, industrial optical measurement, and medical equipment.
These categories of products, which were mainly exported to the major Warsaw Pact countries, could not increase their profits as freely as his brothers in the Federal Republic of Germany. The annual profit generated by Carl Zeiss is about 10 million rubles. For example, high-end cameras that require Zeiss optical lenses are already very good if they are put on the market for two or three hundred thousand units every year. For other low-end cameras, each country has its own optical lens factory, which does not need to be imported from the GDR.
In this way, coupled with the lenses produced by Zeiss itself, at best, half a million lenses a year will be counted.
Whether an industry that has nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood, such as an optical lens with an annual profit of 10 million rubles, in exchange for 100 million US dollars in light industrial products, is a matter of opinion. When the two heavyweight weights of KGB or Stacy are placed on this scale, of course, there is no suspense to slide towards the side of consent.
What's more, as long as the GDR has money, talent and an industrial system, it will only be a matter of minutes to rebuild a Carl Zeiss. It can even be used to re-phase and upgrade the entire production line, which doesn't seem to be necessarily a bad thing.
Romania's diplomatic request was unexpectedly passed smoothly by the GDR's Council of Ministers, and soon entered the implementation phase.
Of course, how many dirty ** transactions are behind this, as Mr. Hu, who is only responsible for spending money, is not in the mood to understand in detail.
For the Chinese side, the problem is simple. If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, and if you don't see a devil, you don't pull the string. Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, how to implement it has nothing to do with Hu Wenhai, Xinke, and China.
Domestic partners have also been prepared, including Phoenix and Seagull, and a group of experts and scholars in the fields of optics, semiconductors, lasers and other related fields of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been convened. In addition to high-end research power. Many outstanding front-line operators and technical engineers have also been given training opportunities. In a short period of time, a study group was organized in China. I flew to Romania.
It's also a coincidence. The fleet, which had been adrift at sea for more than a month, arrived in Romania on the same day as the study group.
Romania's Carl Zeiss is located on the outskirts of Bucharest, not very far from Paula's Castle. As soon as the Chinese study group arrived in Romania, they were personally welcomed by Niku Chiausescu, which made the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of foreign liaison and negotiation inexplicably excited and incredible.
As for the next accommodation, construction, preparation and management, of course, it is impossible for Mr. Hu to arrange it personally. In the end, after some twists and turns, the responsibility of being responsible for the entire Carl Zeiss project in Romania unexpectedly fell on Yulia.
This isn't too surprising. Although it is a Romanian brand, the whole project in Romania is just a guise for selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and Romania itself has no interest in developing a high-end optical industry, so of course it is impossible to come forward to take charge of the operation of the entire project.
As for the GDR, the people of Carl Zeiss inevitably had some resistance, and they were not the ones who paid for it, and they did not have the position and confidence to be in charge of the project.
The Chinese side is willing to shoulder this responsibility, but Hu Wenhai is not worried about the discipline of the foreign affairs department at home. At present, the backbone of the group of people engaged in domestic diplomacy is to measure all the material resources and make friends with the country.
And the professional ability of the people in the study group itself is sufficient. However, in dealing with the intricate relations and interests of China, Romania, the Soviet Union, and Germany, I am afraid that these scientists and engineers who have never even been out of the country will not operate well.
Pick and choose in the end. Hu Wenhai was surprised to find that Yulia was the only candidate who could be accepted by all parties.
First of all, in theory, she is Hu Wenhai's "wife", and the two even have a daughter. In the eyes of Xinke, her status is undoubtedly acceptable. As for the Chinese side, since she is the daughter-in-law of the Chinese, her own boss lady, of course, there is no superfluous opinion.
For Romania, since Yulia is in charge of the Carl Zeiss project, she will have to stay in Romania for a long time. With her and Hu Wenhai's daughter here, I am not afraid that the Chinese side will repay the debt.
For the Germans, it is a little uncomfortable for the daughter of a high-ranking Soviet family to be the project leader, but how can the GDR, a puppet state of the Soviet Union, have a position to pick and choose? Not to mention Yulia's KGB and Stasi background, people can't even think of resisting.
And for KGB, it's even less of a problem. Yulia is her own person, and she even sacrificed her son/palace for the country, can't you believe this?
What about Yulia?
No one knows what her attitude towards Hu Wenhai is, but at least on the surface, she is a very satisfying wife cosplayer.
As for whether he thinks in his heart that he is just "playing", only she knows - or maybe she has mixed feelings.
After all, this is like a fairy jumping disguised as a one-night stand, and after finishing his errands, he turned on the lights and found that it was "Wang Sicong" lying next to him. Whether a woman wants her accomplices from outside to rush in and knock on a hard stroke, or whether she hopes to seize the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family by herself, this answer is a matter of opinion.
As for saying that it is Wang Sicong's money that he fell in love with, not Wang Sicong? Is there a difference? Isn't Wang Sicong's money also an inseparable part of Wang Sicong since ancient times?
When Yulia started, maybe it was just an impulse to get information, and she recklessly sacrificed her body.
But after the children were born, as I got to know Hu Wenhai more and more. The image of a man who can pry the world on his own, easily play with countless large European and American companies, and support a world is very much in line with women's vision and imagination of Prince Charming.
To say that Yulia has no feelings for Hu Wenhai at all is an insult to the normal aesthetics of women all over the world.
Hu Wenhai is only in his early twenties now, and although he is not as handsome as a 10,000-year-old virgin in the Department of Biology of Peking University, he is also blessed with fake leave. What's more, after learning from the experience of his previous life, he has never slackened his exercise after being reborn.
Nearly 1.86 meters tall figure, long-legged Oba proportions and strong muscles all over the body. Although not stunning, the beautiful facial features are matched with the leadership temperament he has cultivated over the years. Although I can't let the fan girl of sixteen or seventeen scream and faint when she sees it. But there is no problem for women in their twenty-four or fifth years old to be weak when they see it.
Such a diamond king old five. Yulia asked herself, how could she not have a good feeling, since for the time being, there is no conflict between her lover and her motherland. On the contrary, if Hu Wenhai was able to provide a large number of light industrial products, it would be more conducive to the stable development of Soviet society. Then you can be a wife with peace of mind and enjoy a happy and extremely wealthy married life.
With such a complex mind, Yulia devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Carl Zeiss exchange learning program.
But happy days are always short-lived, and with Korolev's reappearance, the holiday seems to have come to an end.
Fifty million dollars worth of light goods were unloaded from the fleet and piled up in the port area of the port of Constanta.
Don't look at the value seems to be a little burned. But in this era, the unit price of Chinese goods is cheap enough, and even the largest face value of the renminbi is only ten yuan, how many products can be bought for 50 million US dollars?
Purchased from Northeast China and North China alone, a total of 12.5 million liters of finely filtered edible alcohol produced by small breweries around the country are packed into 12.5 million unlabeled beer bottles. The wholesale price of a bottle is only 2 yuan, but it only costs 25 million yuan, and the official exchange rate equivalent to 3.5 US dollars is only more than 7 million US dollars, which is simply cheaper than American mineral water.
This batch of edible alcohol was shipped to the Soviet Union, where it was concocted and sold into even the cheapest vodka, with a total sales of 125 million rubles. Theoretically. That's the equivalent of $250 million, and the profit margin is really predictable.
Hu Wenhai purchased this batch of goods worth 50 million US dollars. It would be a long and arduous process to sell them on the Soviet market and then exchange them for Soviet products and ship them back to China. But on the other hand, it is up to ten times more profitable.
After the sale of these goods, Hu Wenhai's purchase catalogue in the Soviet Union made Secretary Chi almost stare out.
One million tons of fertilizers, heavy industrial products and even complete steelmaking production lines and a lot of basic science and technology. 50 million US dollars, or 200 million yuan of light industrial products, KGB finally recorded Hu Wenhai as many as 1 billion rubles. It is to be expected that even such a large amount of money would be a very large project.
Although they are all inverted masters, Mr. Hu, who has a fleet in his hands, is not the same as those who climb the train and bring goods to Russia to break into the world.
Of course, this business is also what the KGB can do that can break the shackles of the planned economy of the Soviet Union. The foreign ministries of the two countries have the same trading method, and the annual transaction volume and profit are pitiful.
On this point alone, Hu Wenhai really hopes that the Soviet Union will disintegrate soon, so that Chinese goods will rush into Russia more unscrupulously.
This thought was intertwined with the desire for the Soviet Union to hold out longer, and he himself could not decide how to face the future of 1991.
Of course, no matter what you say, the hairy bear will always die, and if he does not die, how can he warn China? If the hairy bear does not die, China's national defense reform, China's economic reform, and China's reform and opening up will not go so smoothly, and there will even be no day when they will never come out. In this regard, China really owes the Americans a favor......
Ah, Mao Xiong, you can go with confidence, I will burn a bald eagle for you in a few years. In his heart, Hu Wenhai faked a tear of sympathy for the Soviet Union.
As for now, let's take advantage of the fact that the woolly bear is not dead, so let's get more benefits quickly.
"The design of the R35 is ready, I still have two R35 engines in my hand, are you interested?"
Hu Wenhai glanced at Korolev up and down, and said with some doubts: "Of course you are interested?" But where is the actual R35, why didn't I see it?"
Korolev came on his own, and this is the first time that the KGB has personally betrayed the Soviet defense intelligence.
Although the KGB has not deliberately "leaked" some information in the past, this kind of ** transaction that purely sells national defense intelligence for money still challenges the bottom line of a KGB agent.
"Of course the things are not with me, if you want to see the goods, come with me. ”
After Korolev finished speaking, he turned around and left.
At an air base in Bucharest, a transport plane with no obvious identification signs is quietly parked in a hangar. Inside the hangar, there is a group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms who cannot see their affiliation, and outside the hangar. Everywhere there were three steps and one post of the heavily sealed Romanian army.
Volga car with the license plate of the Central Committee of the Romanian Komsomol. The car drove silently through the gate of the airbase with the curtains drawn. Drive into this heavily guarded area inside the base, then into the hangar.
“an-72。 ”
As soon as Hu Wenhai got out of the car, he saw the unique upper wing front-wing turbofan engine of the An-72 and recognized it at a glance.
In the open hatch at the tail, two unpacked aero engines can be seen at a glance. Whether it is R35 or not, although Hu Wenhai does not know this kind of engine at all, he does not dare to risk the breakdown of the cooperation between the two sides to stuff two fakes over.
"All right, my dear brother-in-law. These things don't run away on their own. Now we should talk about the intelligence of the Americans' stealth fighters, right?" Korolev stood in front of Hu Wenhai.
Hu Wenhai nodded, thought for a while and said: "We don't have very detailed information, and it is estimated that except for the Americans, no other country in the world wants to get these information." All I can offer you is some superficial information. F-117 stealth fighter-bomber, delivered by Lockheed to the US military in 1981. The U.S. military has about 40 to 60 aircraft, with wing-shaped, single-pilot, and V-shaped full-motion vertical tail. It's stealthy. It is to absorb radar wave radiation through a wave-absorbing coating and to reflect radar waves by shape. Most of the fuselage inclination angles are greater than 30 degrees to deflect the radar waves, so that the receiver cannot receive the radar signal......"
Without waiting for Hu Wenhai to open his mouth, Korolev had already prepared the paper and pen. Listening to his narration, he kept a moment in his hand and recorded every word he said. This is also what Hu Wenhai requested, the written record is OK, but the sound record is absolutely not.
Just kidding, I don't know what the fate of KGB will be in the future, if the recording information falls into the hands of the CIA, Hu Wenhai doesn't want to be afraid of the CIA's pursuit in the next life.
However, even this half-clawed information that Hu Wenhai knew was already incredible, and it was already incredible information for the Soviet Union.
After receiving Hu Wenhai's prompt, the Soviet Union learned that the Americans' next-generation fighter pursued radar stealth. Although it seems theoretically that radar stealth is possible, some Soviet aircraft designers still expressed various opinions on this, and did not believe that stealth must be possible by the next generation of American fighters.
Of course, there were also designers who thought that the idea of radar stealth was good, and the two sides quickly escalated from discussion to attacking each other.
At this time, Korolev actually brought back intelligence that the Americans already had stealth fighters put into active service! As a result, there is no doubt that the Soviet Union is lagging behind in this field.
Hu Wenhai's information is related to the Soviet Union's major decision on whether to carry out the research and development of stealth fighters, and it is not prudent for Korolev to be cautious, and of course, it is also necessary for the Tumansky Design Bureau not to come up with the R35 information.
After Hu Wenhaikou finished recounting the F-117 information he had, Korolev repeatedly made sure that there was no other information, so he put away the notebook with great importance.
Of course, it is impossible for the Americans to listen to Hu Wenhai's family, and all this information needs to be verified by Soviet agents one by one.
"Okay, can you give me the R35 data and the actual engine?" asked Hu Wenhai.
"No problem. Korolev nodded and moved out of the way behind him.
Hu Wenhai carefully observed the two R35 engines in the box, and it seemed that the Soviets were well maintained, and they could not see that they were too old.
He nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Korolev: "So, what about the information on the R35?"
"That's not here—"
Korolev patted the large wooden crates that almost filled the cabin of an An-72 and removed the locks on them, revealing the contents inside.
It was a large collection of documents in Russian, and a wooden box two meters high and two meters wide was full. And there are five such wooden boxes.
"At the price we agreed upon, it's a dollar per page. Korolev smiled: "There is a total of ten meters of material here, 100,000 floors. Each floor is sixty pages, or six million pages of information. Counting the two engines, you will pay another seven million dollars for this transaction. ”
Hu Wenhai was dumbfounded,, Uncle Mao Xiong, what about the festival you said!
Huh, wait. Hu Wenhai suddenly remembered that it was March 1986, and it was ...... (To be continued.) )
