Lurcek's face was blue and purple for a while, and he felt as if he had been stripped naked in public, and every inch of himself was seen through. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So what? I don't believe that your country is any better than ours. Lurcek said stiffly.

"Our country?" Lin Zheng and Lao Ren glanced at each other, and both of them smiled: "The figure that our country has just completed in the first half of this year is 150 billion yuan, well, it is about 18 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars; The total number of fixed-line telephone subscribers exceeds 130 million, the number of mobile phone subscribers exceeds 35 million, and the number of wireless paging subscribers is about 38 million. ”

"You lie!" Lurcek pointed at Lin Zheng and Lao Ren and screamed, he was frightened by the number Lin Zheng said: God, there can't be so many: "That's right, you must be lying!" ”

"Lying? Is it necessary? Lin Zheng shook his head helplessly, not knowing what this guy thought in his heart, and said to him proudly: "Mr. Lurcek, what I want to tell you is that these data are not the most important for our country, the most important thing is that our country's large-scale complete sets of telecommunications equipment, fixed telephones and mobile phones are all produced by our country's own enterprises. Why did your government invite us here? That's because of this. ”

Lurcek was stunned.

As an official from the former Soviet era, Lurcek has always had a contemptuous attitude towards the republic, and has always believed that the Soviet Union is crushing the Chinese in all directions, even if the Soviet Union collapsed, he is now only an official in Ukraine, and has always held this high sense of superiority, believing that Ukraine comprehensively crushes the republic in all aspects. Even if Ukraine had to sell the Varyag to the republics, he firmly held this attitude, but now. Lin Zheng and Lao Ren's words completely subverted Lurcek's perception: can the Chinese produce large sets of telecommunications equipment required for fixed and mobile phones, and even develop overall solutions as needed?

My God! Lurcek couldn't believe his ears.

But he didn't suspect that Lin Zheng and Lao Ren were lying, and the reason was very simple. No one would tell such a simple, one-pricked lie, and if they dare to say so, it must mean that what they say is true.

But Lurcek still found it incredible: how could this be?

Lin Zheng was a little impatient to go around in circles, and said bluntly: "Mr. Lurcek, I believe you are very aware of the current situation in your country, if we can finalize this investment in the next elections." President President Ma has a good chance of being re-elected, and as His Excellency the President's communications adviser, you should be well aware of that. ”

Of course, Lin Zheng said that Lurcek knows that now that it is a critical moment in the election of President Ma of Kuchma, one of the reasons why Chinese are invited to come is that in order to be successfully re-elected, for the president, Chinese investment is crucial. But despite this, Lurcek still has to fight for Ukraine as much as possible, and he said in a deep voice: "Our European allies will also support our ......"

"You mean Siemens, Ericsson, Nokia and Alcatel? Or the Motorola of the Americans, the Nortel of Canada? "Don't wait for Lurcek to finish. Lin Zheng smiled: "Mr. Lurcek, almost 8 years have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. But what did Ukraine get from the Europeans and the Americans in 8 years? To be honest, I think the Ukrainians have gained much more than they have lost. ”

"......" Lurcek kept his mouth shut tightly and was silent.

What can he say? When did Ukraine get democracy and freedom? This is just used to fool ordinary people, who does not know what democracy and freedom are - can this thing be eaten? How many loaves of bread can you buy for a pound of democracy and freedom?

If democracy and freedom were so valuable, Ukraine would not have starved to death every year, and those countries that advertise their support for Ukraine to move towards freedom and democracy will not move a small maza and sit with their hands in their sleeves to watch the excitement when Ukraine needs assistance the most.

In fact, in Ukraine. Whether it is the democrats who clamore for democracy and freedom all day long, or the carve-up faction who clamored for privatization all day long. Everyone is actually like a mirror in their hearts, and it is clear that Ukraine has been pitted by Europeans and Americans. It's just that it's not interesting to say it.

Lurcek didn't say it, and Lin Zheng didn't mean to be aggressive, so the topic changed: "Your country is now privatizing telecommunications, and there is a lot of room for maneuver, but we haven't done it, why?"

Because we are old friends of the Ukrainian people, we are here to help our old friends get back on their feet, not to take advantage of old friends, we hope to be able to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with our old friends, common development, Mr. Lurcek, in addition to the fact that we can bring real money and there are no stringent conditions attached to the cooperation process, I believe that the conditions of investors in any country are outrageous, am I right? ”

"......" What else can Lurcek say, for example, Nortel, they just built a switch assembly plant in Ukraine, and the parts and components needed to produce these switches are shipped directly from abroad, but in exchange for Nortel's investment, Ukraine's preferential conditions for Nortel seem to be selling the country.

“…… What are your conditions? After a long time, Lurcek finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "I hope you can really do what you say, and come with true friendship." ”

Lin Zheng and Lao Ren quickly exchanged glances, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in their eyes.

"Our conditions are very simple," Lao Ren coughed lightly, and said: "We are willing to fund to help Ukraine upgrade and transform its telecommunications system, and help Ukraine build a mobile communication network covering the whole country, in return, Ukraine Telecom will become a joint venture, and the two sides will have a 50:50 share ratio." ”

At the cost of paying half of the equity of the Ukrainian telecommunications company, the work of upgrading and transforming the telecommunications network throughout Ukraine has been completed. A hint of joy flashed in Lurcek's eyes, but to be on the safe side, he still asked Lao Ren: "You mean that all the funds needed for renovation and construction are provided by you?" ”

"That's right."

"Are there any other strings attached?" Lurcek asked cautiously, having been cheated so many times by Europeans and Americans, Lurcek was scared of being pitted.

Lurcek's tone of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope made Lao Ren can't help but smile: "There is really a condition, but it is not an additional condition, that is, the equipment needed, as long as we can produce, we can only purchase it from our country, of course, what we can guarantee is that the same equipment, our price is absolutely advantageous and competitive, Mr. Lurcek, this condition is not too much, right?" ”

This condition is indeed not partial, Lurcek can not find fault even if he wants to find fault, since the Chinese are investors, the hardware equipment required for system transformation and expansion is naturally given priority to their own people, which is also international management, otherwise they are full of support, not to mention that this Mr. Ren has said that their products are competitive enough in terms of price, even if they are not competitive? Should you buy their products?

Without thinking about it, Lurcek was sure that His Excellency the President would definitely agree to this cooperation condition, and he nodded again and again: "This condition is acceptable, well, how long is the entire renovation project expected to be completed?" ”

"To correct, in our planning, the whole project is divided into two parts, one is renovation, the other is expansion, with our construction experience in China, the renovation project can be completed in about 3 years, but the expansion is long-term, you can understand this?"

Lurcek could understand, of course, but he was even more shocked by the length of the construction that the old Ren said: "Three years? Are you sure? ”

"Of course it's sure," Lao Ren hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "If we Chinese do it ourselves, we can do it in a year and a half at most, and in 3 years, considering the construction speed of your country and the quality of construction personnel, we can't compare with our people......"

Before the old man finished speaking, Lurcek's face was already dark, dare to be in your eyes, the quality of workers in our country is such a level? He even wondered if Lao Ren was bragging, but when he thought of the number of landlines, mobile phones, and paging that the Republic now has, although he still felt incredible, he had to force himself to believe: If there was no such speed, how could they have built such a huge project?

In order to enhance the persuasiveness, at this time, Lao Ren added a point: "Oh, by the way, Belarus, which is also a CIS country with Ukraine, their telecommunications are cooperating with us." ”

"Belarus?" Lurcek exclaimed.

He knows the overall level of the telecommunications industry in Belarus, and when he accompanied Mr. President on his visit to Belarus last year, he was still shocked by the developed telecommunications industry in Belarus, and there are still countries with such a developed telecommunications industry in the CIS countries? Lao Ren's words almost subverted his worldview.

If what Lao Ren said is true, it is enough to show the level of the Chinese in the overall solution of telecommunications, with the old wine of Belarus as the base, Lurcek no longer has doubts about the level and ability of the Chinese: "I have no doubts, I will report your intentions to His Excellency the President when I go back, and I personally look forward to our future."
