Chapter 1169: Miserable Russians
The rest is easy to do, Zhang Yaowu took his subordinates to carefully put the drunk Kaminsky into a mess of mud in a police car, that is, this car can put him down, and then Jiang Botao rushed to the Yongli Club with Liu Lang and Kaminsky, and when he arrived at the club, Shao Mingtao hurriedly called five service staff to wash Kaminsky from head to toe, and found him a clean pajamas to wear.
The old man slept for sixteen hours, and it seemed that he was really tired, and he didn't know how he spent a week on the Sino-Russian train, and he didn't come out of the room until ten o'clock the next morning, and the waiter immediately informed Liu Lang.
"Hello old man, we meet again!"
Liu Lang appeared in front of Kaminsky, and the 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 didn't think I would really be able to see you here!"
Kaminsky covered his face with his hands, his expression was very complicated, both agitated and painful.
"Sir, you're hungry, let's talk while eating!"
Kaminsky slept for more than ten hours, and the fatigue on his body was gone, but when he heard the meal, his stomach screamed again, the Russians had a lot of food, and they didn't eat much at the police station yesterday, and they patronized and drank, for them they can not eat, but the wine must be drunk.
The Yongli Club has a chef who specializes in Western food, and he prepared beef and bread for Kaminsky, but there was no wine, and this guy's wine was really not very good, and now was the time to talk about things, not drink.
"Liu, don't you have any wine here? I like your Chinese wine very much, it's the wine with a red star, bring me some!"
Kaminsky saw that there was no wine and asked for it.
"Sir, there is wine, but now you want to tell me how you came to China?"
Liu Lang smiled and shook his head.
"No alcohol......... Well, Liu, our Soviet Union has collapsed, this great country no longer exists, and I can't live anymore, I came to China in the hope that you can help us, help my children!"
Kaminsky suddenly burst into tears, startling Liu Lang.
"Old man, don't cry, if you have anything to tell me, I will help you solve it if I can do it, don't cry!"
"Well, that's right!"
Kaminsky began to talk about what happened to him over the past two years.
Needless to say, Liu Lang also knows a rough idea, it is nothing more than that the country is gone, and the people's lives can't live such a thing, this is the importance of the country, when the country is stable, some people always find faults, saying that the country is not good or bad, but once the country is politically unstable, the people will suffer first, if the country is divided, then the people will only be left miserable, and all countries are like this.
Liu Lang had read an article about the social situation after the collapse of the Soviet Union in a book in his previous life, and it was accurate to describe it as miserable, but it was only a description in a book, far less direct than what a person concerned said.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the lives of all the people at the bottom immediately collapsed, first of all, they lost their income, and even the country went bankrupt, not to mention the enterprises, especially those large state-owned factories, which were occupied by the oligarchs in a very short period of time, and the oligarchs laid off a large number of workers, leaving less than 10% of the people.
The collapse of the country coincided with the collapse of the financial system, a large number of banks collapsed, and the money that ordinary people had worked so hard to save was wiped out overnight, even if many people exchanged the money in advance, it was useless, because the ruble was depreciated wildly, and the original value of one dollar has now become two cents.
The financial system has collapsed, the common people cannot afford to buy things, and even if some people hold US dollars, it is difficult to buy necessities; first of all, the state is paralyzed, and many people in various departments are unemployed, and they are all unemployed, so where can anyone take care of others? Without state departments, import and export trade has stagnated in a large area.
Then there is the gathering of commodities in the hands of a small number of people, who hoard and make the prices of commodities too high, and only charge US dollars and not rubles, and only a very small number of people can buy goods on the black market.
It is true that the Russian government is also playing a role in substitution, but it is not enough to do it! The only thing that can be done is to regularly and rationingly distribute barely alive food to the common people.
Everywhere else, the streets of the capital Moscow can see the corpses of starvation and freezing, and wild dogs snatching the corpses.
Kaminsky had three children, all of whom were factory workers, but all of them lost their jobs, and they still had children, and a dozen or so people, large and small, suddenly had no source of livelihood, and every day they went to the streets to grab government handouts, and when they grabbed them, they could barely fill their stomachs, and if they didn't get it for a day, they would starve, and sometimes they would fight with others for relief food, and one of his sons was also broken leg because of this, and lay at home unable to move.
Kaminsky was originally a "hermit", hiding in the factory and not asking about the world, there used to be a pension, but now the fart is gone, and all the things in the factory have been moved away and sold for money, and who cares about these things when the country is gone?
Kaminsky was really sad to see his grandchildren suffering so much, but he couldn't help it! At this time, powerless people had no choice but to accept their fate, and they were now at the bottom of society, and they could only wait for death.
It was at this time that he thought of Liu Lang.
If Liu Lang didn't give Kaminsky contact information at the beginning, then the other party would just be a passerby, and there would be no intersection in the future, maybe Kaminsky's name will appear in the yearbook of China's large aircraft program many years later, saying that this person has contributed to China's large aircraft project, that's all.
But Liu Lang not only wanted to get those drawings, but also hoped that these experts would come to China, so he gave his contact information to the other party with the idea of trying it out, and it was this small note that became Kaminsky's lifeline.
He bought a ticket for a Sino-Russian train at a high price of 300 US dollars, of course, this money was given to him at the beginning, and he didn't spend it in the past two years, and this money is also the only money he has on him.
It turned out that he was right, and Liu Lang had been waiting for his call for more than two years.
"Sir, you and I will definitely find a way to bring your family over!"
"Bring it, bring it to China?"
This answer was somewhat unexpected by Kaminsky, he came to Liu Lang to ask the other party to help him, as for how to help? The best thing is to give a sum of money, he has also seen Liu Lang's generosity at the beginning, and it is tens of thousands of dollars.
Kaminsky felt that it didn't take too much, as long as he gave him $10,000, his family could get through this difficult time, and the country couldn't always be like this.
But now Liu Lang has offered to bring his family to China, which is .............
