Chapter 194: The Ruined Factory

Pugachev bought a number of factories, many of which were largely idle, many of them in a dilapidated state. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info those places are more like the filming locations of apocalyptic movies, and it's hard to imagine that just a few years ago it was a factory that produced machinery.

After a long talk at night, Daming was very interested in these investments, and it is estimated that his sister has the same plan. And Zhong Haokai calculated with great interest that if the company's industrial products are transported from China, the tariff is also a large amount, so it is better to produce it locally in Russia.

"We don't have a shortage of technology here, but we just don't have a shortage of skilled workers. But these are not problems, as long as we make a call, we will certainly be able to recruit workers from the east to come and work. Pugachev vowed that once the tractor factory at hand resumes work, the benefits will be considerable.

In the early morning, the star fruit woke up early, specifically by the military horn. After getting dressed, I was going to the bathroom to meet Sonya, who was already looking like an adult, and she was still wearing long braids.

"Are you comfortable sleeping at night?" She asked.

"It's okay, I've lived in the barracks for a while, and I can still adapt."

"Just get used to it, your brother is going to the village this morning, and I will follow you."

I guess this is what they talked about last night, and to be honest, star fruit also wants to go to the village. However, when she saw Sonya again, she saw that the girl had changed into a very standard dress. She wore leather boots, a tight cotton coat and a belt, a felt hat and a gun.

"You're like a female soldier." Star fruit complained.

"Specifically, I will go hunting, and today I will go to meet my classmates who are hunters."

Sonia was carrying a Mosin Nagant, a gun that was widely owned in Russia and was mostly used as a shotgun today. Russian law prohibits guns and even allows private militias, so it's no surprise that Pugachev has a private armed security force.

The morning trip was to visit those abandoned factories, and Daming prepared some bags to throw into his pocket. This pocket is the old relic of the Soviet army, a large number of Type 65 military bags are not used, and tens of millions of them are piled up in the warehouse, so when Daming uses it, there is naturally a warehouse smell. Da Ming is neatly dressed, his height is already one meter six, and he is almost an adult when he throws away his immature face.

This time Chu Hua was not accompanied, Zhong Haokai and Chen Weixiang led the way, and the group went to Badikinskaya. Pugachev said that the village was originally a dependency of the factory, but after the Soviet Union lost the factory and collapsed, most of the residents had to leave their homes and flock to Irkutsk, or into the Tyumen oil fields to work as workers.

The Tyumen oil depot area is the way of the future, but it is not the goal of this year, and the star fruit will not talk to Pugachev about the plans for the time being.

The village was originally a large village, but due to the population shift, it was more populated by old people and children, and young people were mostly lumbermill workers. Walking on the frozen snow, star fruit saw many people pulling sleds on them, some with frozen radishes on them, and some were captured beasts.

Some people were greeting Zhong Haokai, and he returned the courtesy. "It turns out that Brother Zhong is very popular here." Carambola Road.

"It should be, your big brother is the same as your brothers and sisters, and he treats the workers here very well." Chen Weixiang said.

The young couple has been promoted to international businessmen, speaking of funny, Daming still remembers the time when they were swimming and witnessed them kissing in the water, and now the girl is a young woman. She herself was in distant Siberia, while her parents struggled at the equator. I haven't been in touch for a long time, how is Chen Wulang's development in Thailand?

Now there is no time to think nonsense, and the group quickly walked to the dilapidated factories. It has been protected by the army, which is a manifestation of Valoja's small power. "At first, people would come in and steal things, but then no one came to catch some of them, and of course the main reason was that the good things that could be sold for money were basically stolen."

At first, Daming didn't believe Pugachev's words, but when he entered the factory, as he said, the land was really a mess. There was falling rubble everywhere, and rusted machines, mostly shattered glass from windows, and a lot of dust on all the platforms. There are also some dead grass that grows in the summer and the yellow grass is generally a depression.

Originally, there were a lot of lathes here, but they were all sold at a low price to make some money. "Some of them will be sold to you, which is also considered to be the best use of money." Pugachev was so teasing but Da Ming couldn't laugh, he looked at his sister holding hands, and she didn't have a good expression.

"Brother! Are we really going to invest here? In this icy place? ”

"Yes, if you have to invest, there's no better place to do it."

"But it's like a war, how can we develop it so dilapidated."

Pugachev came over to dismantle the little girl's concerns, saying that as long as there is a plan, there will be no problem. Now the Russian economy is recovering, but the standard of living of the population of the Far East is in shambles. "If young people can find jobs in their hometowns, they won't run desperately to Moscow, just follow the model of your big brother, and give the workers direct ready-made food and money. In fact, people are more concerned about the problem of food, and the money is also to buy food, but the ruble is always depreciating, and if we use bags of flour and vegetables as bait, we will not worry about recruiting workers. ”

Zhong Haokai was very confident that as long as the board of directors agreed, everything would be fine, so in this dilapidated factory, star fruit and Daming made a verbal statement that they fully agreed with the plan.

The Russians like such a quick business decision, and the next step is to use his connections to buy industrial equipment, such as lathes and blast furnaces, from various cities in Eastern Europe and from Kuibyshev. But what about industrial equipment with skilled workers? Pugachev once again alleviated the concerns of the siblings: "Many of the old people in this village were factory workers when they were young, and they had to live near the factory in their old age. ”

"Then they can use their spare energy, and they can teach some workers." Carambola suddenly realized. "Your situation is exactly the same as when our company was first built. Our company was originally organized by a group of laid-off workers, and now the business is so big, those original old workers provide a stable cornerstone for our business. ”

Pugachev liked to hear the word cornerstone, when he bought the factory at a low price and sold a lot of equipment, he didn't think about it at that time, but he still had to take care of the old workers, at least to ensure that they did not starve to death.

Pugachev himself had other things to do, and the rest was left to his daughter Sonia.

"Let's go see my friends!" She said excitedly and pulled her brother and sister into a house.

At this point, Zhong Haokai and his wife should also leave, and they have to go to the lumber yard next to the village to have a look. The folk customs here are quite simple, there are few things to commit adultery, and there is no danger with Chu Hua, an adult, in the two dolls.

Sonia walked to the door of the house, knocked on it, and was answered by an old man's voice. When the door opened, it was indeed an old man with reading glasses. "It's Sonia, how did you have the heart to come to me?"

"Kostya and Natasha, of course."

"Well, but they went out hunting early in the morning." The old man Semyon said helplessly. He saw the two children behind Sonya, and knew at a glance that they were two strangers. "Are those your friends?"

Sonia turned her head and replied, "Of course, it's a friend, but also a distinguished guest." They were Nikolai's younger siblings, Vladimir and Besika. ”

In this way, the brother and sister entered the old man's humble house, and when they entered, they were fascinated by the star fruit, which was simply a small military museum!
