Chapter 286: Mi-26A Heavy Helicopter
In May, the climate in Moscow is even warmer, and the weather is clear and suitable for flying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the collapse of the Soviet Union, the industry in Russia was in a big regression, and when the Ming Dynasty cultivated in the company, the star fruit was also visited by Andrey in the city, and one of the ant markets was the most cared for.
Light industry has always been Russia's shortcoming, ninety percent of the sales in the market are Chinese goods, followed by a bunch of German, Czechoslovak clouds. There are huge business opportunities here, and these products don't need to be very high-tech.
Russia is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and the factories of heavy industry are closed en masse, but the essence is still there around big cities such as Moscow. Russia has inherited a very large amount of Soviet technology, and it is easy to restore it as long as there is technology to recover.
In the past few days, Pugachev has also carefully checked his business in Moscow, where the profit does not seem to be very important as the energy and military business has exploded rapidly, and the trade in daily necessities is not very important. Maybe it's also easier to give up these, and pull the employees here to Tuva or Tyumen, then the rate of making money seems to be even more.
But star fruit objected. "Uncle only cares about the best efficiency of making money, but does not think about harmony, workers are first and foremost human beings, and the things used in daily life are more important than oil and weapons. Our business has to be multifaceted, and we can even ask Chinese farmers to come to Tuva to grow vegetables. ”
The implication of her words is that Pugachev understands that ordinary residents in Russia now have a scary-high CPI, and the largest consumption power is still ordinary people, and the biggest consumption here is actually vegetables. An ordinary person has to buy one or two clothes from China with a month's salary, because the Russian garment industry is bleak. The grain state has subsidies, but people also have to supplement vitamins, and most of Russia's vegetables are still imported.
"Your idea, we may have to build more factories in Tuva, and you can put these proposals in the parliament."
Carambola accepted her suggestion, but there was one that Pugachev found interesting. Population is always the engine of the economy, and Tuva's biggest problem is the lack of highly qualified workers, who are recruited in Moscow.
The recruitment of workers was entrusted to Andrei, who promised to recruit all kinds of former factory workers at a high profit, because of the natural environment of Tuva, there was no hope that many Pugachev would be recruited.
In May, the collapse of the Russian economy gradually became apparent, a large number of foreign businessmen were already withdrawing their capital, and the stock market began to be turbulent, which caused Pugachev to be alarmed, thus further accelerating the process of exchanging rubles for foreign currency.
Daming boasted that he had recovered very well, and the next thing was the big event of buying Mi 26.
This huge aircraft is very oily, it is the helicopter with the largest load in the world, it can even carry a company of soldiers, or even twenty-five tons of cargo.
The Mi-26 was designed by the Miri Design Bureau and manufactured at the plant in Rostov-on-Don, where they have a related office. The siblings were not in the mood to make another trip to the Rostov region.
Star fruit is too fond of this aircraft, and in the future earthquake, China's only Mi-26 is really out of the limelight. In the case of complex terrain conditions, when the dammed lake condensed a huge disaster, it was it that transported excavators to the disaster area, and this disaster relief and transportation weapon was really necessary.
The northeastern part of Tuva is also such a mountainous area, and in the future large-scale construction will inevitably have to transport large quantities of goods and building materials, and excavators can also be used to transport roads when building roads. However, the most important thing is actually to give a gift to the country, and the relationship between China and Russia is now friendly, and she does not mind transporting these heavy equipment to China to join the disaster relief as long as the military needs it when the flood occurs.
However, as for the question of how many planes to buy, the personnel of the Moscow office were extremely interested in such large orders, especially in the name of the Republic of Tuva. The money was paid by Pugachev Besika Heavy Industries, $10.2 million per aircraft.
After discussion, star fruit decided to buy three after a little calculation, because she guessed that the country was likely to ask for sponsorship in the future. This has happened before, so it's better to buy more.
Da Ming had no objection. "I have no objection to you deciding this kind of thing, and I think the investment equivalent to 250 million yuan is worth it." He was also surprised when he said this, money has really become a number now, and as long as the oil fields of Tyumen and the arsenal of Irkutsk have always existed, it is a powerful cash cow.
"But this kind of aircraft maintenance is also very expensive, if the plane breaks, will it have to be sent to Moscow for repairs?" Pugachev wanted to buy one, although he didn't pay for it. For the purpose of educating children about the experience of Russian survival, it is better not to act like a generous nouveau riche.
The managers of the Rostov Helicopter Company, of course, wanted them to buy more aircraft, so they tried their best to recommend the performance of the aircraft. According to the needs of star fruit and Daming, what they like is the transportation performance of the aircraft, and the purpose of purchase is completely civil and commercial transportation. Therefore, the manager recommends the Mi-26A.
The order for the plane was quickly signed, and the star fruit had a new idea. "Maybe you can get the plane back, we also need some professional pilots, I know you definitely have people in your company. Money is not a problem, I want to get a plane and a pilot, and the best result is that I can fly back to Kyzyl in a plane. ”
The manager said that it was no problem at all, if you don't mind spending.
The Rostov Aircraft Manufacturing Bureau also sensed the problems of the economy, and the shares held by the company's top management suddenly fell, but all this was only a prelude to disaster. As is business custom, the siblings pay in U.S. dollars and demand that they will not pay anything other than a deposit until they see the plane.
After a day of waiting, three Mi-26s arrived and landed at Moscow International Airport. In order to welcome them back, it is another waste of money, as if it costs money to do everything in Moscow, and personal relations are not as good as money.
At the international airport, these three planes have earned enough eyeballs, and at this moment, the two Chinese students who were injured a few days ago happened to be waiting at the international airport for the flight back to China. They just saw these big guys, but they didn't know that their owners had a relationship with them.
The planes and pilots all arrived, Rostov also gave advice on the after-sales service of the aircraft, and in Tuva's neighboring Buryatia, there is an aircraft factory in Ulan-Ude, and they are very good at repairing aircraft.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the presence of everyone, more than $30 million was remitted to the Rostov Helicopter Manufacturing Bureau. But it's going to take off and go home for a while, and now that they've got these planes in place, they're going to have to carry something on their maiden flight.
Secondly, the ten pilots also need to do some running-in, and they must understand that their employers are two Chinese children and a former Russian military officer. It's hard to accept a child's leadership, especially a young Chinese girl who is like a mascot. Fortunately, in the face of the banknotes, all doubts were canceled, and the three of them discussed giving these ten people a stable salary, and the basic company temporarily had a thousand dollars, and there was a commission for each cargo delivery task.
The rest of the time was shopping, and the star fruit thought of the group of Chinese students. She remembers the contact information that the men had left and that they had gathered at the door of Pugachev's company when a phone call came.
Daming put on a small suit and a good tie, and star fruit put on a washed silk dress. After that incident, you can see that the international students are holding their breath in their hearts, and the Russian guys are not doing anything, and in the end, the criminals are still at large.
They didn't mention any sad things when they met, and this casual weekend was perfect for shopping.
"You brought us in to buy candy?" Lu Mingfei asked. It is understandable for the little girl to buy chocolate, but the amount of star fruit proposed is very large, and it is really as much as she can buy.
"Actually, it's not just candy, I also need you to buy some red wine, it doesn't matter if it's more expensive, you are very familiar with the city of Moscow. Please pay attention to barbecue sauce, jams, salad dressings, etc. Speaking of trouble, Daming simply gave them a list, most of which were the scarce living materials in Tuva, and some were enjoyments.
More goods were bought from an ant market, and the largest ones were clothes and shoes. The garment industry in Tuva is all small family workshops, and until now, there is no uniform for factory workers in Tuva.
It's Labor Day in China, and the brother and sister have to continue to run around for messy things. There are a variety of daily necessities, and they actually exist to provide benefits to the company's employees. Star fruit has a book in mind, now after buying from here, there is no need to buy it from here, Tuva will set up all kinds of factories, not only to meet self-sufficiency but also to export, why not?
Pugachev gradually sensed the little girl's ambitions, which seemed to be copied from the Soviet Union, but star fruit flatly denied it. "That's how my country does, Tuva has a small population, we can organize all of these more than 200,000 people, don't you want to be a king or something? We don't use violence, we control them with money, and who doesn't want to work hard for a happy life? ”
For men, when the wealth is big enough, it is time to fight for power, and now you can't be a feudal lord, but being a chaebol has a similar effect.
Each of the students who purchased the goods received a thousand dollars for their hard work, and in the evening a large number of goods were placed on the small unloading yard of the Pugachev trading company. They wiped their sweat in the unloading yard, and soon the staff invited them into the house, where there was a small celebratory banquet.
The long square table was full of people, and star fruit and Daming stood hand in hand in the whole room, and the two of them held wine glasses to give speeches. "Thank you all for your hard work, and we, the people of Tetuwa, thank you."
"No thanks! You haven't told us who you are yet! You are obviously Chinese but represent Tuva? Lu Mingfei is the one who has the deepest friendship with the two, and this somewhat presumptuous question was raised by him.
"It doesn't matter who we are, it's what we can do, maybe in a few months you will know about us in the domestic news, or the plane we bought. But who knows? With that, Da Ming drank the wine. Star fruit followed suit, with white water in his cup.
The meal was pleasant, and Pugachev did not participate in their activities, and was accompanied by his own lady on his couch. Poor is about to leave Moscow, he still has a bottom line for these women, and his wife Kaya is also in trouble no matter what she says, even if she is as fat as a bucket. No matter how good these women are, nothing more than their wealth is their wealth, and they will act further in order to get it, and the bottom line is this, they will always be just temporary partners.
The day has finally come to leave Moscow, and the international students have been allowed to enter the airport's helicopter platform. Here, forklifts load boxes of packed cargo into helicopters, and when the last box is loaded onto star fruit, the last one steps on the plane.
Da Ming pulled the car and looked at these compatriots with his sister holding the handle, and the plane door was about to close.
"Can I still see you? Besika? Xiao Yan shouted loudly.
"Yes! Sister Xiao Yan, I haven't told you my name yet. My name is star fruit! My name is Besika. You are the translators of the future, and Pugachev Besika Heavy Industries always welcomes you! ”
With a final shout, the hatch closed, the propeller spun wildly, and the plane finally took off.
