Chapter 66 Lu Chengxiang Goes to Moscow The Tsar wants to buy a car

This trip to Moscow was accompanied by Li Zhi to Lu Chengxiang.

In fact, the Tsar of the Russian Empire signed and agreed to all the requirements put forward by Yaogang, and Lu Chengxiang decided to go to Moscow in person, he wanted to see with his own eyes what the Russian Empire was like, and Li Zhi also wanted to see the situation there with his own eyes. When they had a meeting in Yaogang, the two hit it off. Zhang Zhimu also agreed to go over with them. Of course, Lu Chengxiang can use his true identity, and Li Zhi's identity cannot be exposed, so he pretends to be Lu Chengxiang's entourage.

Lu Chengxiang and his party went to nearly 200 people. There were a lot of employees who wanted to stay in Moscow to work, and of course there were also Li Zhi's intelligence agents mixed in with them.

Zhang Zhimu specially instructed Lu Chengxiang to bring an RV over. There is naturally a reason to take care of Lu Chengxiang's body, because the train arrived at the Irtysh River and walked towards Chinatown in the Ural Mountains, and it was still a long way from Chinatown to Moscow. But Zhang Zhimu said to Lu Chengxiang: "Carrying this car matches your identity." Our kiln steward is in Moscow, and he can't be looked down upon! ”

Lu Chengxiang knew in his heart that this was Zhang Zhimu's uneasy body. Lu Chengxiang and the others went over with a long convoy this time. All vehicles are loaded onto the train at Yaogang. The passenger car that Lu Chengxiang was riding was specially hung with several truck compartments.

These people still go to the front, and a large number of construction technicians will go to Moscow later. There is no shortage of workers there, but there are no technicians who know how to construct reinforced concrete, let alone skilled workers who have mastered construction machinery.

Lu Chengxiang's trip to Moscow this time is a big deal. Jiang Zhu They were ready early. In order to cooperate with Lu Chengxiang to enter Moscow, Jiang Zhu also invited Count Petrov over and told him that without Lu Chengxiang's help, the *** thing would not be done at all, so he asked Count Petrov to accompany Lu Chengxiang to Moscow and help as much as possible in Moscow.

Count Petrov had long heard of Lu Chengxiang's name, and knew that this person was in charge of all the business affairs of the kiln, and he was probably the most wealth in the world, and having the opportunity to get close to such a person was something he had always dreamed about. So Count Petrov patted his chest and said: "Everything is wrapped around me." Needless to say, he has helped us, even with your identity as General Jiang's friend, I should do my best to help him! ”

As he spoke, Count Petrov's eyes were already a little wandering, and he was already thinking about the nobles of Moscow, what kind of eyes would they look at him when they saw him and the famous Lu Chengxiang Lu Zong together every day. Because I know General Jiang, every time I come to Chinatown, I can bring back some good things that Moscow can't see at all, and many celebrities and ladies have ambiguous eyes when they see them. This time is an opportunity to increase your worth.

Hearing the news that the kiln man had bought a large piece of land in Moscow and was about to make a large investment in the construction, Count Petrov had a very mixed feeling, and he knew that as long as he could participate in this project a little, he would be able to obtain great benefits. These Orientals are simply too silvery. There is a lot of silver, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful. However, Count Petrov was also a little worried that the kiln gang would make such a big move in Moscow and anger the nobles who could not take advantage of it. The tsar signed an agreement agreeing to the kiln gang people, but it was not made public, and I am afraid that the tsar did not expect the kiln gang people to make such a big move. However, Count Petrov felt that there was no need to worry so much, did they still dare to turn their faces with the kiln people of the Ming Dynasty and use force? Besides, since the battle with the Turks has been unclear, the construction in Moscow has long been gone, and who will spend money on building houses before the war is won? It is not in their interest that the Kilnmen would have made a big investment in Moscow and the Russian Empire, and that alone they would not have watched the Turks take Moscow.

Count Petrov had already made up his mind to drag the kilnmen into Moscow as soon as possible. For this reason, he said to Jiang Ping: "Dear General Jiang, I will rush back to Moscow at once, explain to His Majesty the Tsar the good news of President Lu's visit to Moscow, and then I will immediately rush back to meet President Lu." What do you think? ”

"That's the best, as long as we serve Mr. Lu well this time, everything we have in the future will be much easier! Let me tell you, if Mr. Lu can't do it, it's useless for you to find someone else! Jiang Ji said.

Count Petrov said: "Don't worry, my old friend! I'm going to take this rare opportunity! ”

Jiang Pai had long known that Li Zhi had secretly followed Lu Chengxiang over this time, and after meeting, he was polite, and the three of them had a secret conversation in Jiang Pai's secret room for a day. Jiang Zhu introduced the situation on the side of the Urashan Mountain, as well as the situation on the side of the Russian Empire and Moscow. Of course, this also includes the case of Count Petrov.

Lu Chengxiang attended the opening ceremony of Chinatown Mall and personally cut the ribbon for the opening ceremony of Chinatown Radio.

The arrival of Lu Chengxiang and his entourage made the entire Chinese city feel like a Chinese New Year. When the leaders of the Mongols heard that Lu Chengxiang had arrived in Chinatown, they also rushed over to meet him. Such glory made Lu Chengxiang's big round face like a flower all day long.

Lu Chengxiang gave the Mongolians a lot of daily necessities, telling them that the train will soon lead to Chinatown, and the future will be better and better. Lu Chengxiang also readily agreed to the request of those Mongolian leaders to send their children to Yaogang to study. He also promised them that the children would not have to pay a little money for their studies in the kiln. These Mongols thanked them again and again.

Lu Chengxiang himself felt a little strange, a few years ago, when he mentioned the Mongols, he still gritted his teeth with hatred, but now the Mongols are his own people. Those with blue eyes and yellow hair are outsiders. The Mongols may have distinguished themselves from outsiders in the same way. Since Jiang Pai's army came here, the living conditions of the Mongols have been much better, and every family has tea and salt, as well as cloth and silk that they did not dare to think of in the past. When there is any difficulty, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask the army for help. No matter what the illness is, they are sent to the military hospital for help. They also quickly forgot that they were sworn enemies who fought each other a few years ago.

Lu Chengxiang also had some understanding of the construction situation on this side of Wula Mountain, but he didn't expect that it had been built on such a scale. All the merchant groups in the Ming Dynasty had people set up shops here. Not only the shop, but also the dishes of the Ming Dynasty can be eaten here, but also Russian cuisine. Every day, all kinds of people in and out of the Chinese city are mixed together, but they are in good order, and there are few thefts, cheating, and dominating the market.

Lu Chengxiang agreed to Jiang's request to build a flour mill and fur processing factory here. And immediately called home in front of Jiang Pai, asking them to immediately prepare the equipment for the construction of the two factories. This side asked Jiang Jian to find a suitable site for building a factory immediately.

The site for the construction of this factory has been prepared for a long time. Originally, there was a small grain processing plant, and there was still a place, so it would be enough to expand some. The fur processing factory, which uses a lot of water, is to be built by the river. However, Lu Chengxiang demanded that water sources should not be polluted, and that a supporting sewage treatment plant should be built.

Li Zhi is not usually involved in such things, but he said: "As Chinatown gets bigger and bigger, there will be more and more people." Domestic sewage and garbage must be built in advance to build a treatment plant! ”

Jiang Zhu followed the pole and said, "Mr. Lu, what Director Li said is right!" Since you are here, you can build us a larger sewage treatment plant and a larger garbage treatment plant! ”

"This will do! Spending money on environmental protection, Mr. Zhang is definitely not distressed! That's for the benefit of children and grandchildren! Lu Chengxiang agreed to this more refreshingly!

Little did they know that these decisions laid the foundation for a large city between Europe and Asia. It also laid the foundation for the development of mining resources in the Wula Mountain area.

When Count Petrov saw Lu Chengxiang, he was also extremely humble, touched his chest and bowed, and said, "I feel very honored to meet Mr. Lu!" ”

For Count Petrov, Lu Chengxiang already knows him very well, and there is no need to pretend to be condescending at all, "Lord Count, I heard General Jiang say that you are our good friend!" We Han people are like this, and we will never treat good friends badly! ”

Count Petrov listened to Lu Chengxiang's words, and his heart was like eating honey, he knew that if this Lu always wanted to take care of himself, the silver that fell from his fingers could also support him. He knew that Jiang Pai must have introduced himself to this Mr. Lu, so he glanced at Jiang Pai gratefully. Jiang Jian also nodded to him.

Lu Chengxiang asked people to take out a few barrels of the latest tea, as well as a fine wide silk, and gave them to Count Petrov. The earl knew that the reward given by Mr. Lu, who was in charge of the most wealth in the world, must be able to get his hands on it. Therefore, when I took over the things, I was a little trembling.

Putting away his things, Count Petrov said: "Our Tsar, Your Majesty, is very happy to hear that President Lu is coming to the Russian Empire. Your Majesty instructs me to accompany you. Our Majesty said that I hope to see you in Moscow! ”

"Good! I also want to bring the greetings of our emperor and Mr. Zhang to His Majesty the Tsar! Lu Chengxiang said very gracefully. At this time, it was the time when Lu Chengxiang felt his best.

If you want to say that he is loyal to Zhang Zhimu, Lu Chengxiang is absolutely from the heart. He knew that his life was not only saved by Zhang Zhimu, but the fate of himself and the entire Lu family had changed greatly with Zhang Zhimu. Now that Lu Chengxiang has the right to hold himself, he feels a little scary when he thinks about it. There are many things that can be decided by Zhang Zhimu himself without consulting at all. But Lu Chengxiang is such a person, the more he is like this, the more careful he is with the outside, and he never dares to mess around.

Let's talk about the Balkhash Lake Copper Factory, everyone is investing in shares, Lu Chengxiang has also had some savings over the years, and he also knows that he will definitely make money by investing in it, but he doesn't invest and his family is not allowed to invest. Later, Zhang Zhimu asked him why, and Lu Chengxiang said: "I decide many accounting matters in this factory, and it has a great impact on this factory." If I had invested my money, I would probably not have been able to guarantee a fair mind. Therefore, you must not invest in shares. ”

Zhang Zhimu was very moved by this incident.

Cars were not allowed to enter the Russian Empire before, but this is the first time that Lu Chengxiang and his convoy have driven cars into the Russian Empire.

With Count Petrov with him, the convoy entered the Russian border checkpoint without any checks, and the convoy drove into the territory of the Russian Empire.

At the invitation of Lu Chengxiang, Count Petrov rode in the RV together.

Now Count Petrov was an eye-opener, he didn't expect that in such a car, not only could he lie down and sit, but also go to the toilet conveniently, and he could also set a table to eat and drink as if he was on land. There was also good music playing in the car, no matter how cold it was outside, there was heat inside the car, it was very warm. It made Count Petrov think, what kind of trip is this? It's just coming out to enjoy it.

When a series of large and small vehicles entered the city of Moscow, it caused a sensation and shook the whole city. Muscovites saw a car for the first time, and they did not expect that this car, which was not pulled by oxen, could walk so smoothly and pull so many things.

The people who came to Yaogang in front had already bought the big yard, and the car drove directly into the big yard, and when Count Petrov got out of the car, it was so beautiful that it was no longer good, and said to Lu Chengxiang: "Honorable Mr. Lu, I grew up in Moscow, if there is anything you need help with, please don't be polite, I will do my best to assist you." I will now go to the Kremlin and report to the Tsar that your arrival has been successful. ”

"Good! Thank you for being with us all the way, we have a lot to do in Moscow. We're going to have to trouble you in the future. Lu Chengxiang was also polite.

The courtyard bought by the people who hit the front station was originally also the courtyard of a nobleman, which was idle for a long time, and after the kiln gang people bought it, it was still very tidy. Lu Chengxiang prefers the tall houses here.

When the tsar heard that Lu Chengxiang and others had arrived, he naturally immediately summoned them, and not only that, but the tsar also proposed to drive the car into the Kremlin, and he wanted to see what the car was like.

Lu Chengxiang even knew that if things could go smoothly in Moscow, he had to have a good relationship with the tsar. Therefore, a great gift was prepared.

Although the tsar has been obedient to the Ming Dynasty in his heart, the shelf still has to be served, and Lu Chengxiang is also a polite person, so when he sees the tsar, he naturally makes a big salute.

After the politeness was over, the tsar said: "Lu always came to the Russian Empire, it is an honor for all of us Russians!" Please allow me to express my heartfelt respect to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Mr. Zhang of Yaogang through you! ”

The tsar also understood that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was very complicated, otherwise he would not have paid tribute to the emperor and Mr. Zhang like this!

Lu Chengxiang was also unambiguous, "Our two countries have a long history of exchanges. Our Emperor and President Zhang asked me to pay tribute to His Majesty the Tsar. In the meantime, let us bring some gifts to Your Majesty as a token of our heart! ”

Boxes of gifts were very good tea, porcelain, silk and other things, and after the tsar saw it, he was very anxious and said: "I heard that you have come by car this time, and I very much want to see your car now." ”

"Your Majesty, not only did we come to your country by car, but our President Zhang also asked me to bring Your Majesty a special car, and the car was in the yard. Let's take a look! ”

As soon as the translator finished translating Lu Chengxiang's words, the tsar and the Manchu ministers were surprised and couldn't close their mouths. The tsar never dreamed that Lu Chengxiang would give a car, although he still didn't know what the car was about, but he knew that it must be the best carriage that couldn't be compared!

Everyone flocked to the Kremlin's backyard. All kinds of cars are parked in the yard. There are large trucks, RVs, buses, cars, and four-wheel drive cars.

As soon as the tsar saw these cars, he was a little excited, and the ministers looked at this carefully inside and out.

In the end, the tsar couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu said that he wanted to give me a car, which one is it?" ”

Lu Chengxiang smiled round and said, "Hehe! None of these cars are suitable for His Majesty! As he spoke, he walked up to a large truck covered in canvas and said to the occupants of the truck, "Open it!" ”

The canvas on the car was lifted, revealing a small red glowing car.

The tsar's eyes straightened at once.

Lu Chengxiang said: "Drive Your Majesty's car down!" ”

In the past, everyone was very skillful in erecting a wooden frame behind the big truck, and the people on the car removed the rope and wood that fixed the car, and the driver got in the car and started the car and slowly drove the car down.

The Tsar looked at the painted red car and asked, "Mr. Lu, is this the car that was given to me?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lu Chengxiang said, "I'll sit with you and try it." ”

"Good!" The Tsar, with the help of Lu Chengxiang, sat in the back seat of the car with Lu Chengxiang, and the general sat in the co-pilot seat next to the driver.

Lu Chengxiang said: "Let's go around slowly!" ”

The driver drove the car and spun around the Kremlin courtyard. The Tsar said excitedly: "Harasou! Hella Search! ”

The onlookers and harem beauties were about to fall out one by one, and they were even more jealous.

The car stopped, and after the Tsar and Lu Chengxiang got out of the car, the Tsar came over and asked, "This driver will give it to me too!" ”

"No, no, Your Majesty the Tsar, our Ming Dynasty stipulates that people cannot be given away. However, we can train you to drive two drivers. In fact, it is not very difficult to drive such a small car. His Majesty has time to learn to drive this car on his own. In the Ming Dynasty, I drove to and from work myself! ”

"Even! O my God! Can I drive this car myself? The Tsar asked excitedly.

"Of course!"

"Good! I have to learn how to drive this car, and if I do, I can drive around! The Tsar pointed to the wagon and said, "I want to see how such a wagon, and such a bus, walks?" ”

Li Zhiyi beside Lu Chengxiang waved his hand, a bus, and a truck driver got into the car, started the car, and turned around the courtyard a few times, causing the ministers and harem beauties in the courtyard to exclaim.

The Tsar's mind was still spinning very quickly, and he suddenly asked Lu Chengxiang: "How much silver can be sold to us for such a big car?" ”

The tsar saw the military use of the car!
