Chapter 382: Bittersweet Remembrance
Chapter 382: Bittersweet Remembrance
Chamille's first impression of Sioux City was that of an overly humble Soviet Komsomol cadre. His skillful stooping and slapping of the horse has led many Chinese personnel to refer to him as a reference to the sea creatures that cannot stand up to the ground.
Su Cheng looked puzzled. Liu Minghao came all the way to introduce himself to him? Is this necessary?
Thinking in his heart, Su Cheng said: "If it is Shamille, Mr. Sikong Guan is more familiar than me, you should look for him." ”
Sikong Guan is in charge of money, Xingge is relatively soft, and has a good relationship with every Russian businessman. Charmilles and his association were naturally more.
Liu Minghao smiled and said, "It's not just an introduction. We believe that Charmille's influence is still relatively limited, so we hope that Su Dong can help finalize the Su-27 production line contract. ”
"What is Charmille?" Sioux City had to ask.
Liu Minghao did not hide it either, and said: "He is Maxim's grandson." Maxim's influence in the Kremlin is not weak and he is able to speak on behalf of the defense system of the Russian Federation......"
Sure enough, it is a third ancestor, and his status is obviously much weaker than that of the second ancestor.
In this way, classmates are just an intermediary that people value.
There is no doubt that the Su-27 production line can only be decided at the highest level of Russia, which is first of all a political issue, and secondly a military and economic issue. The Maxim in Liu Minghao's mouth, since he is a person who exerts "influence", naturally has no right to decide. In other words, Liu Minghao met Shamilles through Sioux City, and then contacted his grandfather Maxim, and then influenced the highest levels of Russia......
This bend is really not small.
Sioux City knew that the Su-27 and Su-27 production lines were finally obtained in China. So he groaned, "If you want me to help, no problem." But what exactly do I need to do?"
Liu Minghao and Cui Guoping looked at each other, then coughed and said, "There are some things that we are not easy to discuss." Maxim has also been a bit evasive lately. However, we heard that Maxim had a good impression of Su Dong. ”
"Impressions of me?"
"Charmille's stake in the oil field is actually Maxim's. Therefore, we considered that if we asked Su Dong to do what he liked, we would naturally be able to promote this matter. ”
Sioux City suddenly said: "You want me to bribe Maxim?"
Charmilles' oil fields are undoubtedly the product of corruption, although Russia is in turmoil, but to get hundreds of millions of dollars of oil fields, it must be Maxim himself to intervene, perhaps, he also borrowed someone's prestige energy.
From this point of view, Maxim is definitely not a two-sleeved character, and Liu Minghao's thoughts are also normal.
The complexity of the oil deal is not inferior to that of the arms deal, but there is a difference between the two. Anyone can buy and sell oil, but not arms, and the less transparent the buying and selling, the more places for black gold to be traded. The use of economic means to pass political resolutions is nothing new, and on the surface, China is paying a bribe to the state by purchasing a large number of aircraft in exchange for Russia's agreement to sell production lines. Sioux City in the UAE and in Riben have encountered situations where they can't send money if they want to.
However, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.
was poked out the word "bribery" by Su Cheng in front of him, Liu Minghao's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "I just want to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides." Su Dong, you are a business, maybe you don't know, our country's air force has lagged behind the world a lot, the self-developed No. 10 project is full of difficulties, the plan to purchase new aircraft from the United States has also been put on hold, France's Mirage 2000 price and high quality, Russia's advanced aircraft, have a very important value for the modernization of our air force. ”
"No explanation, I understand. Su Cheng glanced at Cui Guoping with a smile, and then asked, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also involved?"
"We have to understand how things are going so that we can make decisions accordingly. "Cui Guoping and Su Cheng are inevitable opponents, at best, it is the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and in normal terms, it is two stinkers on the same street, and harmony can only be pretended. Cui Guoping actually didn't want to follow, but the matter of the aircraft production line was too important, and it was a matter of concern to the superior leaders and the superior leaders. If he doesn't come, it's hard to explain the past.
Su Cheng didn't say much, turned his head back and said, "How do you think I can bribe this Maxim." ”
Liu Minghao was helpless by him: "It's not about bribing Maxim, it's about talking about the possibility of cooperation between the two sides." ”
Su Cheng waved his hand: "How to do it?"
"We have prepared a foreign exchange, which is not a large amount. Also, look at Maxim's opinion, we can provide some goods and give them to him for sale in Russia. ”
This is the pattern of money plus goods. Su Cheng nodded and asked, "How much?"
"$100,000. In addition, there are goods worth 5 million yuan. ”
"How much?"
Liu Minghao said embarrassedly: "$100,000 is the highest figure I can come up with." That's it, and I also consulted several leaders along the way. ”
"It's not easy. Su Cheng sighed and said, "For such a big thing, you prepared $100,000 ......."
Liu Minghao was embarrassed. Jiao Guoping laughed and said, "Or Su Dong, you can add some?"
Su Cheng's face turned cold, and he said, "I'm a businessman, and I add money to bribe foreign leaders, what's the matter?"
Like Liu Minghao's worries, even if Su Cheng had bribed foreign leaders, he couldn't tell people about it, or show it to others. He brought it up in person, forcing Liu Minghao to confess, but he couldn't give Jiao Guoping his belly.
Liu Minghao nudged Jiao Guoping, faced Su Cheng and smiled: "How can you let Su Dongtian." Anyway, let's see what Maxim means. If this matter is successful, I owe Su Dong a favor or two. ”
He deliberately held up two fingers and blinked.
Two favors, one is to bribe Maxim, and the other is naturally to make Sioux City not enough for himself.
Su Cheng nodded slowly and said, "I'll see if there's anything I can do." ”
Liu Minghao even said thank you.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "You don't have to say it, when it comes to human feelings, I just happen to have something to ask you for." ”
Liu Minghao was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Dahua Industrial is fighting for oil field contracts in the Tyumen oil region. We have already finalized several contracts, and the rest are still being negotiated, and when I met Mr. Liu today, I suddenly thought about whether you could help us Dahua invite a few leaders with experience in studying in the Soviet Union, the higher the rank, the better, and the closer the relationship with the Soviet Union, the better. In addition, it must be a party member. ”
Liu Minghao thought that he would make some excessive requests, but when he heard this, he smiled with great relief: "In our department, there are many people who stay in the Soviet Union. There are more in the capital, when do you want it?"
"As soon as possible. ”
"I'll get back to you in a day. "Liu Minghao's self-confidence is not floating down from the sky. In the 50s, when Sino-Soviet relations were at their best, the Soviet Union helped China train a large number of international students, and at that time, more than 4,000 Chinese students studied in the Soviet Union every year. These students are the most upright returnees in China, and most of them have worked in leadership positions, so to speak, all of them meet the needs of Sioux City.
As an enterprise, it is difficult for Dahua Industrial to invite these leading cadres. Liu Minghao wore a tiger skin and carried a banner, and when an official letter was sent, it was estimated that he would be able to find a suitable candidate, so he spoke very loudly.
It's just that Jiao Guoping didn't quite understand and asked: "What do you want to do with the leaders of the Soviet Union? Many people are not easy to serve." ”
Su Cheng didn't tell him, and said, "It's always useful." ”
Liu Minghao doesn't care what Su Cheng wants people to do, as long as his own task can be completed, it will be all satisfied.
Within a few days, I heard that Sioux City had begun to contact Shamilles, and immediately sent someone to Sioux City.
In the early stage, there were 3 people, two of whom stayed in the Soviet Union for 55 years, and one who spent 52 years of short-term training in the Soviet Union. All three of them are treated at the deputy bureau level, and they are the top leaders in the industrial units under the ministry. From the perspective of political ecology, the careers of these three people are over, but their lives can still be called nourishing, especially one of them is a media leader, who manages a large number of uncrowned kings under his command, and still has the demeanor of an earth emperor.
The three of them looked at Liu Minghao's face, and they couldn't be called willing, and when they arrived at the office in Tyumen City in Sioux City, they didn't have a good face.
Jiao Guoping came along, and sat on the side with a rather dramatic god, waiting to see how Su Cheng would deal with such 3 sculpture-level antiques.
Su Cheng laughed secretly, and with a wave of his hand, he saw Yang Ming coming with three fur coats.
"It's too cold in Siberia, so you three of you should pay attention to your body, but don't freeze. As he spoke, Sioux put on his fur coat for them.
"We'll just wear old cotton clothes. One of them was pushing and dragging.
"You should be overalls, your work requires such clothes. As soon as Su Cheng said this, the three of them half-pushed and half-pushed.
The soft and smooth fur, no matter how high-end it looks, the three of them also like it when they touch it.
Su Cheng then said: "During the period when you help Dahua work, our company will arrange a five-star hotel as usual. If the local hotel level is insufficient, the company will subsidize the difference in price. By the way, is it okay to give you a subsidy in dollars?"
"Yes, you can. All three had smiles on their faces. In 1992, the dollar could not be said to be in short supply, but it was still very rare, and if it was measured by the newlywed preparations, imported TVs, refrigerators and washing machines, whose luxury was comparable to that of the later generations of the three rings and three rooms, were more attractive to the old man.
When the two sugar-coated shells hit, the old men were dizzy, and when they talked to Sioux City again, they could be described as talking and laughing.
Jiao Guoping looked at it and called him angry. It's just that he can't speak, and he really wants to hold back his internal injuries.
In this room, Su Cheng also explained the content of the work, and for the three of them, it was not difficult at all, and they all asked to start working immediately.
Su Cheng was not pretentious, and led the three of them to the conference room.
Jiao Guoping consciously followed, and saw that in the conference room not far away, there were Russians sitting in half a room, and the atmosphere of conversation was warm.
The three old men were instructed by Sioux City to join in.
They don't understand economic negotiations, but they all have the experience of staying in the Soviet Union. The three appeared as advisers to Dahua, and one of them grabbed a leading figure of the former Soviet Union, first remembering the bittersweet and sweet, and then began to recall the years when the two countries walked side by side.
The years of burning passion immediately reminded these former Soviet people of their youth, and when they came to the negotiating table again, their tone and tone were different.
Su Cheng smiled slightly, stood beside Jiao Guoping, who was stunned, and said, "Please inform Mr. Liu Minghao, I have thought about what his second favor is." ”
"What is it?"
Su Cheng glanced at him and said softly: "Dahua has compiled a list of Soviet experts we need, and I would like to ask Mr. Liu Minghao to help get in touch." ”
Dahua Industrial's energy in the Soviet Union is still limited, but if Liu Minghao's men help, it is two concepts.
