Chapter 276: Celebrating the New Year in the Oil Field
Spending Christmas in the oil fields was a very helpless choice, because it was snowing heavily in Siberia. The www.biquge.info whole of Siberia was hit by a heavy snowfall, and even Kyzyl was covered with snow.
Pugachev was happy and depressed at the same time, he was now selling oil every day, and every day he was making a huge fortune in his account, but he was the only one who should have been sitting together as a family.
Sonia called, and she claimed to have returned to Batykinskaya to be with her brother. The only way to contact the family is to call and contact the family for a long time, so the father and daughter report each other's safety.
The festival was spent in this staff dormitory, which was too shabby compared to his palatial home. Fortunately, the two children did not show any discomfort. "It's really embarrassing for you, remembering that we also spent Christmas together last year, when we bought a big fish." He subconsciously lit a cigar.
The cigar was stronger than the cigarette, and the star fruit pretended to cough uncomfortably.
"Sir, snuff out the cigarette, Besika is weak, she can't stand the smoke."
Pugachev embarrassedly pressed his cigar and sat leisurely on the sofa. Christmas Eve was just as tiring, just to celebrate the beginning of the oil field to sell oil he said a lot of speeches, and of course Daming also gushed endlessly. There was so much time wasted that I didn't get ready for Christmas, and most importantly I didn't go to church with my family.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and many of the workers had already gone home from work, and even if they were poor, they would have a good Christmas. Those who stayed in the oil field were some of the people and soldiers who stayed behind to stare at the kowtow machine, and a few people who really didn't know where to go, such as Grandma Elsa.
Seeing that Pugachev was a little depressed, star fruit jumped down from the sofa and said, "Let's just make some delicious food." Mr. Pugachev is guilty of not being able to be with his family, so you should treat us as your family. Aren't we good partners, and it means a lot to spend Christmas together. ”
Pugachev looked at her and said the same reason, the family has already understood, and besides, it is not without this situation, the climate in Siberia is like this, and a heavy snowfall is often difficult to move an inch.
Snowflakes were falling outside the dormitory, and the kitchen was still brightly lit. When they entered the kitchen, the brother and sister found that Chu Hua was already working, and the Russians also had a tradition similar to the Chinese vigil, in order to wait for the New Year's bell and eat a good meal at the same time.
At least there was enough flour here, and the price of flour on the market was high because of its oddity, but the oil fields still bought as much as they could, and Pugachev asked his trading company to bring several truckloads of flour from Moscow.
"You guys are really timely, come and help me make dumplings, their skills are too poor."
Carambola was overjoyed and walked in front of him with a forced smile.
There are also similar foods to dumplings in Russia, but their dough is made differently than in China. Chu Hua directly broke a mop and used this wooden stick as a rolling pin, and the rate of rolling dough was higher after star fruit joined the battle.
Pugachev looked fascinated, the little hands of the star fruit seemed to have magic, and the rolling wooden sticks were obviously rolling one after the other, and the dough was spinning in circles. "It's just Chinese magic, and it seems that I need to let my daughter learn this too."
"Okay, then when the snow stops, I'll give it to Sister Sonya, if she wants to."
Food is often soothing, especially this dumpling-making feast that even old businessmen like Pugachev have personally attended. The New Year came at the dinner table, and the Russian calendar entered 1998.
Heavy snow in Siberia sometimes creates layers of snow two or three meters deep, and specialized equipment can only carve out roads on the original road, which is flanked by walls of snow several meters high. Star fruit has a hunch that she is afraid that she will not be able to go home during the Spring Festival this year.
"If we can't go back, we have to stay here, and my family will definitely understand." Da Ming comforted, and at the same time forcibly endured the chaos in his heart.
For the sake of business, I was really forced to abandon my family, and I thought about how much money I made every day, and my relationship with my family became estranged. I haven't seen my mom in months.
In her sleep, Carambola noticed that her brother was sobbing quietly, and she was already worried that this teenager would be too homesick, so she insisted that she must share the same bed, which is called afraid of cold.
"Brother, are you crying?"
"I didn't. I didn't. ”
"Brother, don't pretend, you must be homesick."
He had his back to him, and the star fruit had his arms upstairs, and his legs were hanging on him so closer. Xiaozui leaned into his ear and said, "Let's call home too, or we can get a computer network so that we can also communicate with Xiaoyue's network anytime and anywhere." ”
Da Ming no longer cries, when it comes to parting with his sister, it is the worst, it is a parting that transcends time and space. The former family members she loves now are not her family logically, everything is for the sake of thought, it is a dream.
More things are coming after Christmas, more oil fields are being repaired, oil pipeline companies are laying the latest pipelines to deal with larger oil flows, and they are happy to do this, and the more oil they make.
Carambola told Pugachev about getting the computers and the Internet, and he immediately called Moscow, and soon a new batch of computers was on the way to this side, and the Russian Internet companies were already looking forward to it.
With the deepening of the company's recruitment, some surrounding idle workers rushed here, but there were still not enough workers, and Daming thought that maybe a group of workers could be recruited from China. It's okay to pay higher wages, but the wealth they create is even greater.
The workers got the money in hand, and soon some businesses sprouted rapidly, and even some special industries flourished. There are many men in the oil fields, and some women who want to make a living choose to settle here, even some very young girls. Daming wanted to ban these but was stopped by Pugachev, first, to satisfy the desires of the workers and to maintain stability, and second, Russian laws are very lenient on this, and many times they are not illegal.
With a blushing face, he didn't care, but he made up his mind that if the Chinese workers came over, they would be prevented from doing these things.
In late January, the computer arrived in the small town, and when the star fruit turned on the switch with curiosity, shock swept through the body. "WTF, this is actually XP, it must be what Xiaoyue's girl has done!"
Da Ming didn't know why his sister was so shocked and yelled in the dormitory, until he hugged her fiercely and asked why. Carambola's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and she said: "Xiao Yue sold the secret weapon without telling us, probably because she couldn't hold back when she saw that we were making money too hard." ”
When the network cable was pulled over, an email was quickly sent to Runing's hometown. There is no good Chinese coding here for the time being, so star fruit has to be written in English, and of course Xu Liangyue's English is also excellent.
In the letter, the star fruit jokingly said why the updated system was sold prematurely, and Xu Liangyue's answer was not surprising. "I can't show weakness when you are popular outside, otherwise I will be sorry for everyone's favor for me." The latest system sold for a billion dollars, in fact, the system was secretly sold a long time ago, Microsoft decided to go on sale worldwide on New Year's Day 1998, and the Russian version was already on sale in Moscow.
One billion dollars Xu Liangyue was used as the asset of his computer company, of course, he was quickly targeted by the people of the National Security Bureau, and after a little investigation, he learned that this was actually the granddaughter of Old Man Hu.
Sure enough, it was impossible to go back during the Spring Festival, and the airport in Irkusk was forced to close when the snowstorm hit. Before the Spring Festival, star fruit and Xu Liangyue had started a large-scale online chat, which was based on e-mail.
The fresh way of communication shocked the people in my hometown, and at the same time, this can also communicate directly with the company's headquarters and even the company in Hangzhou.
Electronic communication is bound to be limited, and there are also photos of the siblings in Russia, and to prove that everything is fine, the two even hold up a wooden board to write the time and stand under a tall kowtow machine.
Long-distance point is the top priority, the two do not skimp on what long-distance call fee, Chinese New Year's Eve Daming and his mother talked a lot, star fruit also talked with the adoptive mother and adoptive father, and talked and laughed with Hu Zhengsen, who had already babbled. When he arrived at Xu Liangyue, star fruit deliberately said angrily: "When I return to China, I will take care of you." ”
Xu Liangyue also said her worries on the phone, and she couldn't say the specific things and simply sent an email, anyway, few people in the family could understand all English.
In the letter, she sighed that because of her star fruit's second existence, the country has been eyeing it, and this billion dollars is a precious foreign exchange country that wants to take away, and in the end she is just a child after all, so she has to compromise. One billion dollars has become 8.7 billion yuan, and the country is not allowed to report on the news, but fortunately it has not become the cusp of public opinion.
Prosperity is often followed by fame, especially when such a prodigy creates a huge fortune with his wisdom, and star fruit is psychologically prepared. For the time being, she doesn't want to return to China, and in 98 China will suffer large-scale floods, and what will be most lacking at that time is helicopters and construction machinery.
These things were ordered in advance to be copied in the civilian machinery factory in Badikinskaya, and the existing excavators and bulldozers in Russia were imitated, and the chassis was the simplest, and those abandoned tanks and armored vehicles were pulled back to dismantle the chassis. In addition, she plans to buy helicopters, and the first location is Kazan.
