Thanks to Qijin's response, the delegation did not run into any more trouble. The group got on the bus rented by Xie Qijin, passed through the downtown area of Chita, and came to the hotel he had booked for everyone in advance.

It is a star-rated hotel called "Bektov Hotel", which, like most Russian buildings, is quite imposing and uncharacteristic. Walking into the hotel, Qin Hai could see that the furnishings inside were extremely dilapidated, the carpet was dirty, and the paint on the wooden counter had also fallen off a lot, revealing the original color of the wood. He remembered the scene where he had stayed in a hotel in Jintang before, and compared to this hotel, the hotel in Jintang was simply extremely luxurious.

"Mr. Qin, the conditions on the Soviet side are like this, even the hotel in Moscow is like this, everyone will just take a break, right?" Xie Qijin saw what Qin Hai was thinking, and explained in a low voice.

"Understood." Qin Hai replied simply.

The rooms had been arranged in advance, and the members of the delegation received the keys and went to their rooms. Qin Hai dragged the box, and as soon as he walked into his room, he felt a chill. When he was in the hall just now, Qin Hai didn't feel particularly cold, but now when he arrived in the room, it was still cold everywhere, which made people feel that something was wrong.

"No, there's no heating in this room?" Qin Hai asked Xie Qijin, who had walked into the room with him, in surprise.

"There's heating, or it's not this temperature." Xie Qijin replied. Isn't it, at this time, the temperature outside Chita has dropped below freezing, and there are still about 10 degrees in the room.

Qin Hai grinned and said, "Lao Xie, you won't tell me that this is the condition of a star-rated hotel in the Soviet Union, right?" ”

Xie Qijin sighed: "Alas, Mr. Qin, what you said is not wrong at all. That is, a star-rated hotel, the heating is still a little warm. In the homes of city residents, it's even colder than that. The country's economy is completely ruined, and even heating cannot be guaranteed. ”

"The situation in the Soviet Union could have been so bad?" Qin Hai smacked his tongue and said.

Qin Hai has some knowledge of the situation before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Before coming to the Soviet Union, he had heard Xie Qijin and others talk about the declining economy of the Soviet Union. For the scenarios that may be encountered, there is some psychological preparation. But it is better to see than to hear, and when he arrived on the ground, what he saw was far worse than he had imagined.

Before Goetz, the Soviet Union was a government-sponsored country with housing, education, health care, employment, heating, etc., all of which did not need to be cared about by the people, although the social benefits provided by the government were not particularly good. But there is no problem at all in maintaining a living, and if you compare it with the living conditions of the Chinese people in the same period, the living conditions of the Soviets can be regarded as reaching the standard of moderate prosperity.

But who would have thought that in just a few years, the entire country's economy would collapse. The old management system was destroyed, and the establishment of a new system was delayed. In this situation, the production of many enterprises has declined, and the social supply is decreasing day by day. In the end, in some places, wages could not be guaranteed, and various benefits provided by the government were greatly reduced.

The strictest zhòng time. Some of the troops had difficulties in providing for them, so much so that soldiers had to sell weapons from their barracks to make ends meet. There were rumors that due to the lack of salaries for the strategic rocket forces, some of the nuclear warheads were stolen and sold. The state is in such a chaotic state, and disintegration is really inevitable.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry. I prepared some electric stoves, went back and brought them over, and put one in each room. The hotel said that as long as we are willing to pay for electricity, we can use the electric stove for heating. Xie Qijin looked at Qin Hai's face constantly changing. thought that he was disgusted that the conditions of the hotel were too poor, and even complained that Xie Qijin was not doing well, so he hurriedly said remedial measures.

Qin Hai woke up from his deep thoughts, and said to Xie Qijin with a smile: "Old Xie, you are really thoughtful. It doesn't matter if I have an electric stove here or not, but there are a few old gentlemen, and their rooms can't be too cold, otherwise they won't be able to bear it. ”

"I know, I know, I'll have someone do it right away." Xie Qijin said repeatedly.

"Okay, now you tell me about the situation on Chita's side, what I asked you to know, how do you know?" Qin Hai pulled Xie Qijin to sit down on the sofa and asked him.

"There are not many large enterprises in Chita, I have already contacted all the companies, and what they need to do in the end, I am waiting for you to communicate directly with the other party. And the old engineers you mentioned in the telegram, I am also asking people to inquire about them, and I have already found out the addresses and contact details of some of them, and we can visit them at any time. Xie Qijin said, taking out a stack of papers from his arms, on which were written some of the information he had collected.

Qin Hai took the information, looked through it, and said happily: "Great, without further ado, let's go to dinner first, and after eating, I will let everyone split up." Lao Xie, these things are really too troublesome for you, how much it cost, I will pay you all in the future. ”

"Mr. Qin, it's too much to say this kind of thing, isn't this also doing things for our country, what costs don't cost." Xie Qijin smiled and said a few words, but his heart was beautiful.

Qin Hai wanted to go to the Soviet Union to dig up people and find information, of course, it was impossible not to make arrangements in advance. Long in advance, he had already explained Xie Qijin's preparations. Xie Qijin was engaged in trade with the Soviet Union, and he already had a large team under his hands, and these days, he spread his team to various republics and states in the Far East, collecting a lot of information. Qin Hai had promised in advance that he would compensate him for his work and would definitely not let him suffer.

Xie Qijin did Soviet trade, the scale was not small, and he also made some money. But he knew that compared with Qin Hai's industry, his little business was not even a fraction of Qin Hai's, so he was very respectful in front of Qin Hai, in the business field, the strong man is king, at least Xie Qijin believes in this very much.

After a simple lunch, Qin Hai gathered all the members of the delegation together and began to distribute the materials that Xie Qijin had collected. According to the pre-departure arrangement, the members of the delegation will be divided into several groups to visit some of the leading scientists and engineers and convey to them their intention to hire them to work in China. Xie Qijin's information includes the contact information of these personnel, as well as their respective family situations, interests and hobbies, etc., which is very helpful for the delegation to contact each other.

Qin Hai also knew that it was not so easy to let these people go to work across the country, and the other party would definitely have to consider many issues and put forward many conditions. But in any case, the first step of contact is always necessary, and after this step of contact, all that remains is further talks.

After explaining the work to the delegation, Qin Hai came to Liu Hang and Xiao Weihao's room again, handed a few documents to Liu Hang, and said: "Liu, this is information about several experts of the Chita Aviation Working Consortium, I don't know if it will be useful to you." ”

"You've collected this information as well?" Liu Hang took over the information and was a little surprised.

Qin Hai pretended to be helpless and said, "Actually, these people are what I want, so I arranged for someone to collect their information. However, since Liu Chu was also interested in them, I had to reluctantly cut my love. ”

"Great, with this information, we can save a lot of work." Liu Hang looked at the information and said happily, "Lao Xiao and I were still discussing how to start working just now." ”

"Xiao Qin's intelligence gathering ability is stronger than our system." Xiao Weihao said half-jokingly, "You have such a channel, maybe we will have to borrow it sometime." ”

Qin Haidao: "Xiao wants to use my channels, how dare I not agree." However, the ugly thing is ahead, I spent money to collect all these materials, do you have to pay at least a cost price for using them? ”

"That's as it should be." Liu Hang said seriously, "Xiao Qin, you say, how much is a piece of information?" ”

"One or two thousand is enough." Qin Hai said lightly.

"What? One or two thousand! Liu Hang jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on. He still had those documents in his hand, but he felt a little hot at this time. He hesitated for a moment, handed the information to Qin Hai, and said, "If it's so expensive, I still don't want it." ”

"Why not." Xiao Weihao snatched the information with his hand, and then flipped through it casually, muttering while reading: "Not bad, the information is quite detailed, it is really helpful for us to find people." As for one or two thousand...... To be honest, it's not expensive. ”

Qin Hai asked Liu Hang for money, but in fact, it was just a bluff. The price of this kind of information itself cannot be calculated, and it is impossible for him to really let Liu Hang pay. The purpose of what he said was to let Liu Hang and Xiao Weihao know that they owed him Qin Hai's favor, and in other aspects in the future, they could give him some convenience to compensate. Hearing Xiao Weihao say that the price was not expensive, he felt a little surprised, and he said with a smile: "Since Xiao Wei thinks it is not expensive, then let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, right?" ”

"Let's take credit first." Xiao Weihao waved his hand, "Where can I find money for you now?" You keep the accounts first, and then we'll settle them together. ”

"Hehe, don't be a fool of Xiao when the time comes." Qin Hai and Xiao Weihao chatted on the train for two days, and they already understood each other's personalities, and after hearing this, he knew that Xiao Weihao had understood his intentions, so he agreed with a smile. Xiao Weihao and Liu Hang both worked for the military, and the strength of the military was far from being comparable to Qin Hai. If you give a sum of money to the military on credit, can you get less in the future?

"Liu, Xiao, do you need a guide to do things?" Qin Hai asked with concern.

"No, we have a mouth under our noses, so we'll be able to find a place." Xiao Weihao said dryly.

"Okay, I don't care about the two of you." Qin Haidao, "The people on our side will set off separately in a while, I wish you all good luck." (To be continued......)
