Not long after Lin Qi acquired Pechoin, Kevin's team also came back, not only buying back samples of various cosmetics, but also collecting a bunch of literature, magazines, and newspaper advertisements.

Kevin said with great confidence: "Although there are many types of overseas makeup, they are not as complicated as imagined. There are many types of cosmetics, not only skin care, but also face washes, face masks, and other products. The effect of some products is not easy to say, but the more tricks, the market share will increase. ”

"Okay, then you are ready, join Pechoin Company and be in charge of a research and development team. Of course, you are not the only one in the R&D team, and that team has good results will be the focus of the company in the future. Lin Qi said.

"I believe I can do the best!" Kevin said, "For example, I now have a new idea, combining facial masks, flowers, and herbs, and I am ready to develop a cosmeceutical mask product." There is no such product in the world, and once it is done, it is just an advertising gimmick, and it surpasses the others!"

"Yes, it's quite brainy!" Lin Qi was surprised.

The cosmetics industry certainly can't completely bury its head in R&D and not know about commercial operations. Business operation is the key to many products that can stand out and make huge profits. For example, if everyone sells similar products, why should you let consumers choose you? At this time, people with brains will launch differentiated innovations, which will soon attract the attention of the market. Fight your way out of the Red Sea and into a new blue ocean.

Just like the mask has been playing with the concept since then, what is the soil of the Black Sea, the essence of Chinese herbs, and all kinds of unclear terms. Do consumers really understand these terms?

It's just that the concept is hyped up, and it is better than an honest product with no concept at all.

After Kevin returned, Lin Qi arranged Kevin to be in charge of project research and development at Pechoin, and then cooperated with Hathaway as the company's general manager. Basically, the framework of the new Pechoin company has been built.

After arranging these, Lin Qi suddenly became idle, in fact, his industrial empire, all major departments already have the ability to operate and develop on their own.

Lin Qi only decided the general direction, and there was no major direction to lay out in the short term. So, Lin Qi decided to go abroad to have a look.

There is no need to see Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea for the time being, because these countries can go at any time if they want to.

On the contrary, there are some countries that Lin Qi has never been to, and in a few years, he will not have the opportunity to go, such as the Soviet Union!

Lin Qi was very curious about the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union, and wanted to see the cultural landscape of the Soviet Union before the disintegration.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, although it was still Maozi. But...... Therefore, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Lin Qi made up his mind to go to the Soviet Union to have a look.

Speaking of the Soviet Union, there used to be a long confrontation and the Cold War, but in recent years, the domestic situation in the Soviet Union has not been very good, and it has had to ease relations with China. Therefore, at the end of the war between China and Vietnam, the Soviet Union actually began to prepare to sell Vietnam and ease relations with China. For example, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it signed a series of weapons and technology cooperation agreements with China. If the Soviet Union could hold on and further deepen cooperation with China, perhaps it would not have collapsed.

After all, the key to the collapse of the Soviet Union was not its lack of cutting-edge technology and military strength. What's more, its industry is very biased. Agriculture, light industry, and so on, are not self-sufficient. Moreover, the Soviet Union even more stupidly changed the settlement currency, which was originally settled by the mutual association of the Soviet ruble, but after a series of reforms, the settlement currency of the Soviet Union and its allies was actually changed to the US dollar. In this way, it was tantamount to giving up monetary hegemony and further aggravating the economic difficulties of the Soviet bloc. Seeing the boss messing around like this, he began to disappoint the allies, and the huge Soviet Union collapsed with a bang.

Of course, if the Soviet Union had a better relationship with China in history, perhaps, it might not have been so bad. After all, many of the weak projects of the Soviet Union are precisely China's strength. Two great powers that could have complemented each other, but because of differences in ideas, they quickly went from honeymoon to cold war.

This has to be embarrassing!

As a big capitalist, Lin Qi himself may not necessarily yearn for the Soviet system. However, from a fair point of view, the Soviet Union's course of reform should be wrong. Because, because of the climate in the Soviet Union, many industries did not have a cost advantage. Blindly relying on a market economy in an all-round way will only make the Soviet Union rapidly impoverished. Originally, the Soviet Union could have been somewhat self-sufficient, as radical reforms turned into rapid deindustrialization, becoming more and more dependent on imports.

Mr. Lin...... In the USSR, unlike at home, we could not ensure security. "The team responsible for protecting Lin Qi's safety is very difficult.

"Is the Soviet Union dangerous? Can the United States be dangerous? The United States has the highest gun ownership in the world per capita, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 Americans who die from guns a year, which is no less than the continuous occurrence of low-intensity wars. Lin Qi let out his mouth and said, "In the Longtan Tiger's Den like the United States, I don't go in and out a few times, and I haven't seen anyone beat me with a gun?"

Hearing that Lin Qi had a strong voice, the security team had no choice but to communicate through government channels, China and the Soviet Union. Ensure that Mr. Lin, after going to the Soviet Union, can come back completely and unscathed.

The high-level state made a special call to the Soviet Union's Ge map, which was regarded as a major diplomatic event, which shows that Mr. Lin was regarded as a national treasure by the country.

If you go to the Soviet Union, you have to transfer trains from Heilongjiang, and before you arrive in the Soviet Union, Lin Qi has clearly felt the strong cold attack.

"I'll go, it's too cold. Lin Qi muttered to himself, his body was wrapped like a bear, but he still felt cold and shivering. Because, on the Maozi train in this era, air conditioning is also not provided.

After staying up on the train for two days and one night, Lin Qi finally stepped into Komsomolsk in the Soviet Far East. Komsomolsk Amur in the Far East of the Soviet Union is located on the banks of the Amur River in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was originally Chinese territory, but it was occupied by Russian colonists in 1859.

Komsomolsk can be said to be a product of the planned economy, in the early days of the establishment of the Soviet Union, a large number of people were mobilized and began to build a large industrial base in the deserted area. Today, Komsomolsk is not only capable of shipbuilding and processing petrochemical industries, but also advanced fighter jets and engines. For example, the Su-27 fighter, which China coveted and feared in the 80s, was produced by the Komsomolsk aircraft manufacturing complex.

Such an industrial city, during the tenure of Goto, reduced the military budget, and even the unstable payment of military salaries, even more so the lack of orders for fighter aircraft. Therefore, this city, which prospered on military orders, has also become a bit depressed.

When Lin Qi came to Komsomolsk, the local Soviet officials gave him a warm welcome. Because, at this time, the Soviets were also engaged in attracting foreign capital, but they did not think that Chinese businessmen had much capital, but welcomed American and European businessmen more. Even if they knew that Lin Qi was relatively wealthy among the Chinese, because Lin Qi's wealth was not too public, and because Soviet officials did not know about the world's capital markets, there was no clear statistics on how huge the assets actually controlled by Lin Qi were.

"Mr. Lin, you are welcome to visit the Soviet Union for sightseeing and investment, however, we have some sensitive factories in Komsomolsk, so we refuse to visit them. For example, you are not allowed to visit the aircraft-related industry, let alone take pictures!" A Soviet official said arrogantly, "As for your safety, we can guarantee it! I hope you can enjoy your stay in the Soviet Union!"

This kind of attitude is completely the attitude of advanced countries towards backward countries.

Lin Qi not only frowned, but he didn't move, but smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that the caviar of the Soviet Union is more delicious, I don't know if there is a supply in Komsomolsk?"

"Of course!" the Soviet official nodded, "we can provide the best caviar, but not for free." If you want to try it, you'll have to pay $500! We'll serve a sumptuous dinner with top-notch caviar, on a par with the caviar of the President of the Soviet Union!"

"No problem. Lin Qi nodded.

Next, under the arrangement of local officials, Lin Qi lived in a guest house with better conditions, at least, this guest house has a heating supply.

After settling down, Lin Qi learned that the person in charge of providing him with a translator was a blonde and blue-eyed Russian beauty translator named Diana.

Her mother is Chinese, so she has spoken Chinese and Russian since she was a child, and it is precisely by virtue of her language advantage that she cunningly applied for the foreign language college, mainly Chinese. After graduating, he worked as a civilian worker in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a while, and later became a freelancer, earning a lot of money by working as a translator for smugglers in China and the Soviet Union.

After all, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, all kinds of indiscriminate reforms caused economic turmoil in the Soviet Union, chaos in the production order, and nominally, very low-priced commodities were quickly robbed. The Soviets needed to buy the necessities of life through the black market, several times or even ten times the price.

It was for this reason that the Soviet Union gave birth to the largest black market and smuggling trade ever seen by mankind!

These difficulties are entirely caused by Goto's reform and new thinking. It is precisely because of this terrible reform that it has caused a super-large-scale disaster in human history. The more the disaster-tormented Russians, especially young people, come into contact with the internet, the more they support Putin.

Before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China did not loot the most valuable heritage of the Soviet Union. But there are definitely a large number of fallen masters, although these fallen masters are not as rich as those oligarchs after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but they also took risks and made enough profits that would be difficult to achieve in a hundred years of normal business.

"Ask the owner to bring us some wine, it's too cold, preferably liquor. Lin Qi took the interpreter into a bar in the wind and snow, because of the cold weather in the Soviet Union, so most of them here drank heavily, because alcohol can remove the cold.

Diana translated according to Lin Qi's request, but the bar owner didn't do it, the key was that he didn't have liquor here, so he thought about it and finally gave Lin Qi the strongest vodka.

When drinking vodka, there is a stimulating burning sensation, which can make people quickly fade away the cold in the body, especially when it is cold, the more you drink, the more you want to drink, so Lin Qi, who is not strong enough to drink, finally fell drunk in the bar, and Diana was okay, and helped Lin Qi to a hotel.

Early the next morning, Lin Qi looked at Diana, who was undressed, and his self, who was also naked, and fell into deep memories, he didn't remember what he had done to Diana.

But there are also facts in front of him, not to mention that the lonely man and widow are in the same room, the two are lying on the same bed without clothes, and they are still hugging each other.

Body......

He felt himself that his body might have really done something sorry for others.

"That...... I'm sorry I did something wrong by drinking too much yesterday, I'm really sorry. Lin Qi rubbed his aching temples, secretly hating that he couldn't control it, but he still had doubts in his heart, but he didn't bring it up, in case this thing was true, say it yourself, wouldn't it embarrass the girl.

Diana didn't say anything, just grabbed the quilt and sobbed quietly, I felt pity for her appearance, not to mention Lin Qi, who felt guilty in her heart.

"Can I do something for you, such as financial compensation, and even, if you want to immigrate overseas, I can also arrange for you, the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, whatever you choose. But I can't marry you, because I have a wife. Lin Qi said tentatively, and then he quickly observed Diana's reaction.

In fact, Lin Qi knew that there was a KGB in the Soviet Union, and there were those swallows. Specializing in cultivating that kind of beautiful girl.,Rely on beauty to get information.。

Lin Qi didn't know if this Mao Mei was this kind of person.

"It happened so suddenly, can you let me calm down for a while?" Diana said softly.

"Okay, I also need to be calm and calm!" Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, Nima's, what is this called? Although he also thought about experiencing Mao Mei, but it was just a thought.

Then Diana quickly got dressed and walked out of the room, and Lin Qi didn't know where she went.

Without a translator, Lin Qi could not move an inch in the Soviet Union, and could only communicate by speaking English.

Speaking English here is a disaster, with a thick tongue-curling voice, you can't hear anything clearly, and of course, Indians speak English the worst, followed by Japan and South Korea.

Just when Lin Qi was almost fainting in the hotel hungry, Diana came.

Not only did she come back herself, but she also brought her mother, Liu Cuifang, and his father, Ivanov.

"Sorry......" Lin Qi's usual eloquence in negotiations and high-speed brain also stopped working at this time, he couldn't say anything, just spit out two words from his mouth with difficulty.

"Big brother, this is your fault, you ruined my daughter's innocence and didn't even want to marry her, this matter is put in China, do you think you will be drowned by spit?

"You...... It's not good ......" Ivanov also spit out a few Chinese characters with difficulty, and the key is that he doesn't know how to speak.

"Let's talk about this matter, how to deal with the aftermath?" Looking at the appearance of Diana's parents, Lin Qi's heart suddenly had a little reminiscence, the reason why this family came over and didn't make a big fuss was not just to negotiate terms with himself?

If the other party is coming for money, then there is no problem at all, the most bad thing about Lin Qi is money.

But if it was the KGB or other intelligence agencies of the USSR who set it up, it would be a bit of a headache.

Lin Qi is not afraid to deal with people on the surface, whether it is the president or the shopping mall giant, these people usually act according to the rules on the surface.

But I'm afraid of the old KGB agents, they don't play by the rules. It is also logically possible to shoot a well-trained, top-notch beauty who seduces her for the sake of the task, and then use this as a condition to ask for something!
