"Mr. Krestinsky, I wish our Sino-Soviet friendship eternal success. "The moment he signed his name on the memorandum www.biquge.info of cooperation between the two sides, the big stone in Chen Geng's heart was finally put down, and Chen Geng, who was a little out of shape, gave Krestinsky a powerful hug.

"Of course, hahaha...... I wish the friendship to last forever! Krestinsky was also very happy and slapped Chen Geng's back a few times.

The guests on the signing rostrum also spontaneously applauded, excitedly hugged the Chinese/Soviet friends on the side, and kept expressing their excitement in Chinese or Russian.

Of course, there is a reason why everyone is so happy, Runhua Industry and Likhachev Automobile Factory only took a week to reach a preliminary agreement on cooperation, and formally signed a memorandum of cooperation, which also means that as long as this memorandum of cooperation is approved by the Soviet government, the contract process between the two sides will officially begin to be implemented, and with the strong will of the two countries to improve relations, this agreement is basically not likely to be vetoed by the Soviet government.

According to this agreement, the Likhachev Automobile Factory will provide Runhua with a modern engine manufacturing plant, as well as the formulation of engine casting materials and corresponding processing technology, the formulation of manufacturing materials for torque converters and automatic transmissions, and the corresponding processing technology.

In addition, in the engine production process of sand mold production, sand mold inspection, mold integration, pouring and other manufacturing processes, as well as the later rough machining, finishing, assembly, inspection of these links, Likhachev Automobile Factory will also provide corresponding technical guidance, for this reason, Likhachev Automobile Factory will send a total of more than 50 people technical guidance team to guide Runhua Industry to digest and absorb the corresponding technology.

As for the price, Lao Maozi really made Chen Geng's eyes warm: $800,000!

This price is no different from giving away for nothing, and what makes Chen Geng even more excited and tearful is that Runhua Industrial only needs to pay 200,000 US dollars, and the remaining 600,000 US dollars can be paid with various light industrial products such as clothing, radios, and canned food.

What a hairy bear!

This also means that Runhua Industry has finally solved the biggest problem: the problem of engine materials and processes, and can finally make great strides forward. Chen Geng's face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly: "Comrades, we must have a drink tonight, everyone will not return home if they are not drunk!" ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" The old hairy men who are addicted to alcohol followed by a wolf howl.

So what are you waiting for? Chen Geng waved his hand!

A few rough old men immediately walked in with boxes of liquor, bottles of Moutai, Wuliangye, Erguotou, Xifeng, and Fenjiu...... It was put on the table, peanuts, pig's head, sausages...... More than a dozen kinds of side dishes were quickly served one by one.

After coming to China, they tasted a variety of Chinese flavors and styles of high-grade liquor, and compared with the vodka that was fed almost all over the country, the saliva of the old Maozi suddenly flowed down.

Taking advantage of the gap of a group of bears pouring vodka, Krestinsky came to Chen Geng's side: "Chen, how many cars do you think our cars can sell in a year?" ”

Your car? Chen Geng paused for a moment before remembering that this guy was talking about the civilian model of Gil-41047, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and he pointed to the top of his head and asked Krestinsky in an excited whisper: "You agreed above?" ”

"There is no definite information yet, but the above seems to mean that as long as the Soviet secrets are not leaked, the price is higher than that of the rotten capitalist products, the problem will not be very big," Krestinsky looked at Chen Geng with bright eyes, and asked cautiously: "Can you sell 100 cars a year?" ”

100 cars?

The market price of a Cadillac fleetwood or Lincoln continental in the United States is about 30,000 to more than 40,000 US dollars, at the official exchange rate, converted into RMB is about 130,000 to more than 150,000 points, of course, the official price of 3.722 can not represent the real exchange ratio of the market, but the price of fleetwood in China is obviously extremely outrageous. The physique of 41047 and the name of the Kremlin's special car, the price of selling for seven or eight hundred thousand is not a problem.

"Let me say so," Chen Geng thought for a while and said: "Just in our country, it is no problem to digest 100 vehicles a year, as for foreign countries, Japan is not easy to say, but in the European market, I estimate that there should be a market of 300 to 500 vehicles." ”

"So much?" Krestinsky's breath became shorter: wouldn't that mean that there would be at least four or five hundred vehicles a year?

It's pitiful to say, since it was put into production in 1985, the total production capacity of the Gil-41047 is less than 1,000 vehicles.

"As long as your pricing is based on fleetwood and continental, that's absolutely fine!" Chen Geng nodded affirmatively.

"Chen, are you serious? Can there really be so many sales? Krestinsky's excited voice trembled.

He couldn't believe it, this means that the Likhachev Automobile Factory can contribute at least more than 10 million dollars in foreign exchange reserves to the country every year, how much is this achievement? For the Soviet Union, where the only way to earn dollars was to export raw materials, more than 10 million dollars? How much crude oil and wood does it take to get it back? But now, it only takes a few hundred cars to do it, and Krestinsky has already seen a better future beckoning to him, but it is precisely because the cake that Chen Geng painted for himself is so good, Krestinsky can't believe it.

Regarding Krestinsky's worries, Chen Geng also has his own worries: "Instead of worrying about whether we can sell so many cars in a year, you should worry about whether your production capacity can keep up, and the production capacity of Gil-41047 is not much in a year, right?"

By the way, you can't ignore quality because of the pursuit of production, but Jill - 41047 will be defined by me as an ultra-luxury brand in the car to sell, high fuel consumption is not a problem, but if there is a problem in terms of quality in three days......"

Krestinsky's expression suddenly became serious: "Chen, you don't have to worry about production capacity, we can produce as much as you can sell, and you don't have to worry about quality, in the name of the Soviets, I guarantee that every car handed over to you has undergone the strictest inspection." ”

"Then I'll rest assured," Chen Geng thought for a while, and said: "There is another question, I don't know how much this car costs, if your price is only slightly higher than that of Fleetwood and Continental, will you lose money?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this," Chen Geng had just finished speaking, and Krestinsky had already laughed: "Chen, let's put it this way, the cost issue is not your consideration, as long as you can sell the car, you don't have to think about the cost at all." ”

I see!

The approach of the Likhachev Automobile Factory is almost no different from a period that has just passed in the republic: losing money? It doesn't matter if you lose your capital, the country that loses your money will carry it for you, as long as you can earn back foreign exchange for the country. It's just that......

Is one of the two poles of the earth in such a state that it is now in such a state?

――――――――――――――――――――

"Boy, you're lucky, next month's official title, your kid is a lieutenant colonel, how about it, happy? The youngest lieutenant colonel in our military region, proud, right? In Li Xueshan's office, Deputy Political Commissar Li looked at Chen Geng with a playful expression, looking forward to what Chen Geng would look like when he heard the news.

Sure enough, Chen Geng was stunned for a moment: "Lieutenant colonel? How could it be a lieutenant colonel? ”

According to the timetable for the official resumption of the military rank system given above, next month, that is, on September 14, in order to facilitate the command and management of the army, our army will officially resume the military rank system.

Under what circumstances will your superiors inexplicably give you a first-class rank without explaining the reason?

Unless you have made a particularly great contribution to the country, and at the same time you cannot make a clear declaration.

Thinking of this, Chen Geng's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked tentatively in a low voice, "Chief, is it ...... There was a response from the Soviet side? ”

"I know that your kid's brain is good," Li Xueshan raised his thumb and smiled like a flower: "I received feedback from the Soviet side: Gorbachev, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, wants to make a state visit to us at the right time, and it is clear that it is best in the first half of next year." ”

And sure enough, it was! Chen Geng clenched his fists hard, and at the same time smirked.

"I don't know how your kid is so lucky," Li Xueshan said to Chen Geng with half emotion and half happiness: "The chief said that because your kid suddenly went to the Soviet Union to seek cooperation with the Likhachev Automobile Factory, the process of normalizing Sino-Soviet relations was advanced by at least half a year, and he would like to give you a big medal." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Chen Geng touched his head and smirked, Lieutenant Colonel, now I am also a middle- and high-ranking officer in our army?

But in an instant, Chen Geng's face suddenly straightened, and he asked cautiously: "Chief, this reward ...... Well, there's no strings attached, right? ”

"Strings attached? What are the conditions attached? Li Xueshan didn't understand at first, but immediately, he was angry, and he raised his foot and kicked at Chen Geng: "Stinky boy, do you think you are slow to be promoted?" Lao Tzu was still a small company commander when he was so old as you, and you still dare not be satisfied......" (To be continued.) )
