Dobrynin casually threw the "coal" block to the ground, patted the dust on his hand and said, "Hui, don't look at it anymore." I believe I can't be wrong. You've had enough, but I still have work to do. I can't be with you anymore. My friend. Believe me to say nothing wrong and throw them away. With that, he walked towards the office without looking back.

Hui Minghai smiled dumbly. Thinking about it, it was obvious that it was not coal at Brother Xiang's house, so why bother to bring it to the mine again, and it was boring to find yourself in front of foreigners? What's even more ridiculous is that he also hid a few pieces of it smartly, and became a villain in front of foreigners. Even if it is a useless stone, it is useless to keep it. I didn't want to think about it, and I threw it aside.

But back in the office, Hui Minghai regretted it again. I regret that I shouldn't have thrown it away hastily. My father said, "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts." "Who knows if Dobrynin played a pantomime? Even if it is thrown, it should be thrown far away, as Dobrynin said, so that no one can find it. got up and wanted to go back, but Hui Mingshan rushed over at this time. Hui Mingshan didn't really believe in what kind of treasure it was, but at this time, he became more and more unconvinced, and waved his hand: "You hurry up and throw away the few pieces that are hidden, the province will let Dobrynin see it in the future, and what kind of contradiction will there be, it's not worth it." ”

Hui Minghai said: "What are you throwing away?" I still regret the pieces I just threw away. Brother, don't worry about this, I have to go and pick up all those pieces, even if I really want to throw them, I will throw them far away. Let no one try to find it. ”

Hui Mingshan said: "I don't care if you pick it up or not, but I want to remind you that you have to treasure all your precious stones, and don't let Dobrynin see it again." ”

Hui Minghai knew that his brother's consideration was not unreasonable, the business of the partnership was not easy to do, not to mention the partnership with foreigners, and friction was inevitable no matter what. After some hesitation, he decided to find the stone first. I got up and walked out of the office, looked around at no one, and walked straight to the place where the stone was thrown, but there was still a shadow of the stone?

Those stones were picked up by Dobrynin. Dobrynin recognized the black stones almost as soon as he saw them, and these stones were indeed not coal, but graphite, which was more precious than coal, and was known as black gold.

However, it turned out that it was on the eve of World War II, and the amount of graphite used in the industries of various countries was not too large, but the industrial powers had a new understanding of the importance of graphite in industry, and successively increased the research and exploration of graphite. The Soviet Union, one of the world's major industrial powers, naturally also took a great interest in the research and exploration of graphite. However, the reserves of graphite in the Soviet Union were very small, so the Soviets turned their eyes to China. Northeast China, in particular, was regarded by the Russian Emperor as its sphere of influence, and no other country was allowed to touch it. For this reason, Japan and Russia also launched a war in the northeast of China, and after the defeat of imperial Russia, it was forced to withdraw from the northeast, but it still retained many interests. When the Soviets were established, the interests were still preserved. As a matter of fact, Karanishkov and Dobrynin were nominally Soviet and Russian representatives of the Liumaohe Coal Mining Company Limited, but in fact they were Soviet Russian spies sent by Soviet Russia to China to collect all kinds of intelligence.

Seeing the graphite sample, Karanishkov couldn't believe his eyes, such a large scale of high-quality graphite, the world is rare. I was thrilled to think that I could make such a huge contribution to my country. A faint flush appeared on his excited face and he said, "Comrade Dobrynin, where did you find out?" ”

Dobrynin said: "I didn't find it, Comrade Karanishkov, it was a hunter who went up the mountain to hunt and accidentally found it while hunting. ”

Karanishkov's heart sank, and he said, "What do you mean here, the news of the discovery of graphite here has already spread?" ”

Dobrynin smiled: "Comrade Karanishkov, I don't think so. At least not yet. ”

Karanishkov said: "Comrade Dobrynin, you must have something to hide from me. I'm in a hurry. Tell me everything you know. ”

Dobrynin said: "Of course I will tell you everything. Comrade Karanishkov, do you remember the night when Hui Minghai sent the chairman away? Yes, that night, a hunter went up to the mountains to hunt and stumbled upon it. Ironically, the hunter didn't know graphite at all and took it back as if it were burning coal. But you know, Comrade Karanishkov, graphite does not burn. Then the hunters were ready to throw the graphite away as a useless stone. It was Hui Minghai, yes, it was Hui Minghai who persuaded the hunters and brought graphite to the coal mine to show me. Do you understand? ”

Karanishkov nodded: "Understood." Speaking of which, Hui Minghai already knows. ”

Dobrynin said: "No, no, no, Comrade Karanishkov, do you still understand. As I said, no one will know about this yet. How could I have told Hui Minghai that this is graphite. After another pause, he said, "Hui Minghai showed it to me, and what I told him clearly was: "That's right, this is a useless black stone." Then he casually threw the graphite sample into the ground. As I walked back, I peeked at Hui Minghai and saw with my own eyes that Hui Minghai also threw the remaining graphite samples into the ground in frustration. When Hui Minghai left, I sneaked back again. And here it is, the graphite sample is in our hands. ”

Karanishkov raised his arm and said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait." Comrade Dobrynin, you mean that you throw away graphite samples as useless black stones, and then you go back and pick them up. Is that so? ”

Dobrynin said: "That's the case, Comrade Karanishkov, is there any problem? ”

Karanishkov said: "Of course there is a problem. Haven't you thought that you can go back and pick it up, why won't Hui Minghai go back and pick it up? Hui Minghai went back and found that the sample was missing, what would he think? He will surely suspect that you lied to him. ”

Dobrynin said: "Then what to do? ”

Karanishkov paced in the room and said, "If Hui Minghai really goes back and finds that the sample is missing, there is no remedy. All we can do now is to report the discovery of graphite here to Moscow as soon as possible. ”

Dobrynin said: "Okay, I'll send a message to Moscow right away." ”

Karanishkov said: "Wait, wait. Comrade Dobrynin, it's such a big thing here, you can't send a telegram. The Japanese nose is smart, and the Japanese must not be allowed to smell fishy. Graphite samples should not stay here for a long time, and graphite samples should be sent back to China as soon as possible. ”

Dobrynin said: "Comrade Karanishkov, you mean, use the underground transport station? ”

Karanishkov shook his head and said, "There are Chinese people at the underground transportation station, and although the Chinese also serve us, they must not be involved in this matter." Even our comrades, the fewer people who know, the better. So I decided that the graphite samples would be personally escorted back to China. ”
