I asked about the location of the waiter Sophia Hotel, and it happened that it was just behind the café, with only a narrow alley between the two buildings, and it was directly accessible from the back door of the café.

After reordering the refreshments and tipping ten francs, ignoring the two white bodyguards resting in the front hall, Chen Dahe and Ye Zhenggen took advantage of the lack of attention and walked through the alley through the back door to the Sophia Hotel.

It's surprising that this small building only has three floors, and room 805 is actually on the second floor, God knows why the boss uses this number as the room number, does it matter?!

Here, Chen Dahe finally met Dong Jianlei after a long absence.

Seeing Chen Dahe pick up, Ye Zhenggen waved his hand at Lao Dong, and then immediately returned to the café from the same way, where he also ordered food, if he didn't eat, it would be wasted, of course, the key is not to be discovered, he needs to be there to cover Chen Dahe, and there is Dong Jianlei here, Chen Dahe's safety must be no problem, even if there is an accident, he can come over as soon as possible if he is called at such a close distance, and nothing will happen.

"Lao Dong, what are you doing with a god?" Chen Dahe sat on the chair in the room, and looked at Lao Dong, who had grown stronger again, speechlessly, "It's a phone call again, and it's looking for someone to connect, are you being targeted?"

If he is really targeted, he will definitely not come over in person, this is when Dong Jianlei went to the Soviet Union, the two agreed, no matter what the circumstances, safety is the first priority, Lao Dong must have another reason for doing this.

"Didn't you tell me to be careful?" Dong Jianlei was stunned for a moment, "You said it yourself, if you meet me, let me be careful again and again, pay more attention to confidentiality, otherwise, you can ask that trading company in Africa to bring me a message, why call me over through Gangzi." ”

Uh, Chen Dahe's eyes lost focus, right, why didn't he let the trading company under the Third International Bank bring the news?

There's a shipload of goods sent from Africa to Ukraine a week, and it's not too convenient to bring a message, anyway, they have agreed on a password method, as long as they have quotations in hand, they can translate the information with the password, why do they have to find Chen Gang?

Looking at Chen Dahe's dazed look, Dong Jianlei suddenly sprung up with a trace of suspicion, his boss, should he not forget this stubble, right? !

At this moment, Lao Dong felt so good that he also brought two right-hand men out, bent on avoiding the possible KGB investigation, but because of the boss's poor memory, he spent so much effort to toss for many days of useless work, what should he think?

"Well, Lao Dong, yes, the secrecy work is very good," Chen Dahe coughed dryly and snapped the topic back, "How is the situation over there during this time?"

Since Dong Jianlei went to the Soviet Union, in addition to arranging for an African trading company to connect with him for mineral trade, he really didn't know about his situation there.

"It's okay," Dong Jianlei felt that his heart was still blocked, and said quietly, " I don't know what the situation is on Lao Maozi's side, but the whole system on the Ukrainian side is rotten, and there is no clean one from top to bottom, when I first arrived here, I also wanted to find a few key people to win them over, and as a result, I took the brothers to check, hehe, don't have too many pigtails, so I went directly to the door, a hand of evidence and a hand of money in front of them, is a person who knows how to choose, now although we are not in Ukraine can not appear in the open, but it is no problem to engage in small actions, from customs to inspection There are people to cover, except that there is no need to pay taxes, and ordinary companies are no different, ”

Speaking of this, Dong Jianlei glanced at Chen Dahe depressedly again, "Before I went, you asked me to register a trading company, and I registered the company, but it turned out to be useless, but I had to leave someone there, and I had to find some goods from China to sell in order to maintain the company's operation, I feel that this company seems to be useless except for covering up my eyes!"

"Lao Dong, there are still drops of use," Chen Dahe smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In addition to buying some things to sell in the past, you can also buy some things over there and ship them out, take your time, you will definitely be able to use it,"

Seeing Lao Dong's suspicious gaze, Chen Dahe decisively changed the topic, "I called you over this time, mainly because I have a few things to discuss with you." ”

"Boss, you better say it directly," Dong Jianlei sighed faintly, "Anyway, if you can do it, I will do it if you say it, and if you can't do it, I still have to do it if you say it, what to say and discuss such nice words." ”

Well, this is the truth, the corners of Chen Dahe's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued, "Let me ask you a question first, in the Soviet Union, what do you think is the best thing to sell?"

"Food," Dong Jianlei blurted out, " Although this year is not over, it is conservatively estimated that more than 20 million tons of grain will be imported, and the few people I bought it often ask me if I can get grain, if I can get a large amount of grain, the little thing we are doing now is not a problem, they can ensure that I walk on Red Square openly, if the grain I get can be calculated in millions of tons, even if it enters the Kremlin, it is no problem, but the key is, who can get so much grain！”

When Chen Dahe heard this, he didn't have any surprise in his heart, but nodded secretly.

I am not mistaken, throughout the eighties, although there were many crises in the Soviet Union, the most fatal one was the food crisis.

In the previous life, there were many discussions about the reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, some from a political point of view, believing that their political system was rigid, some from an economic point of view, believing that their economic structure was too rigid and lacking in vitality, some from a historical point of view, believing that the disintegration was the bitter fruit of the Soviet Union at the beginning of its establishment, some from the perspective of the system, saying that their set of government models were not working, and still others believed that the Cold War arms race provoked by the Star Wars program of the United States dragged down the Soviet Union。

But no matter what kind of argument you make, there is one word that cannot be avoided, and that is the food crisis.

Since the beginning of the eighties, the total volume of grain imports of the Soviet Union has been on an upward trend, and by the mid-eighties, the annual grain imports accounted for almost half of all total imports.

The grain problem seriously slowed down the development of the Soviet Union and greatly restricted the living standards of the Soviet people, and it was precisely because of this that a series of problems caused by this forced the Soviet Union to carry out economic reforms, and it was precisely this reform that the Americans seized the opportunity to completely collapse the world's number one opponent by using financial means.

Although Chen Dahe helped the United States organize the Star Wars plan in advance, he was not worried that the Soviet Union would collapse ahead of schedule, because as long as they were not chaotic internally, the enemy outside would not have a chance to act, just as the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, and the root cause of this so-called internal problem is the economy, and further down, it is in the grain.
