Chapter 0562 - Corrosion
Zhou Qingfeng was reading the memorandum of contract, and Vice Minister Chuikov was also reading it. Although the former's mouth is too stinky, His Excellency the Deputy Minister only needs to compare the contract between the 'Holy Light' and Nande to know which one to choose as a partner.
The contract of 'Shengguang' is obviously more detailed and practical, and the initiative to inspect the factory is enough to make the deputy minister feel good.
This is clearly a very responsible business.
By comparison, the complex and botched reselling tricks played by Nande were simply disgusting. Thirty years ago, the Soviet personnel involved in the contract negotiations would have been thrown directly into the gulag camps.
Don't think about it, Chuikov knows what's going on behind the bad contract. Can ...... now
The tide of history is rolling in!
In the shadow of the room is a suitcase. This is before dinner, Xiao Jinlang personally delivered it. Fifty packaged 'Motorola' mobile phones were also brought together in two large cardboard boxes.
The gifts given by Zhou Qingfeng were a little more detailed, and the counterfeit trademarks of the cottage were replaced with restoration, which looked more classy.
These giveaways brought back to Moscow can be sold directly on the black market, or used as gifts. Don't underestimate the weight of this gift, Western electronics are very popular in Mao Xiong's house.
The generals in charge of the arsenals in Eastern Europe could smile from ear to ear when they received a video camera, and the weapons and equipment in the warehouses were whirring and sold.
The latest mobile phones can impress people more than video recorders.
"This young boy is like a devil, who can refuse his request?" Chuikov pinched his head and smiled wryly.
The secretary brought the coffee, stared at the suitcase on the table, and specially reminded: "Comrade Minister, it seems that your conditions for agreeing to the 'Holy Light' have not been agreed to by the rest of the ministry. ”
Chuikov was pondering, glaring angrily when he heard the words. He sneered at the secretary and said in a deep voice, "Are you going to the Lubyanka to report me?" ”
The secretary was tall and strong, in his thirties. After Chuikov's face was angry, he immediately bowed his head, took half a step back, and said, "Of course not, I'm just doing my duty now." ”
As a bureaucrat, Chuikov didn't have much affection for his secretary. These are vicious dogs planted by the KGB, and they can tear themselves into minced meat at any time.
The KGB, formerly known as the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Counter-Terrorism (the Cheka), was originally set up with the task of cleaning up the scum spies within the Soviets, including the bureaucracy that had been distrusted.
It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that throughout the history of the Red Empire, the bureaucratic and regulatory systems have been engaged in life-and-death infighting, and the cruelty of the Red Empire far outweighs the damage caused by external forces.
The inside of the woolly bear is cleaned all day and night, endlessly. But in this way, the problem of their corruption has not been solved, but has become more and more serious.
There was a joke in the Soviet Union that the happiest thing was when the KGB came knocking on the door in the middle of the night and yelled 'Ivan, you are arrested'. You calmly tell the KGB, "I'm sorry, Ivan lives next door." ”
This kind of sneer is a profound demonstration of the superpower of the KGB over the bureaucracy, which has terrified countless people. But now the KGB itself is no longer the sword and shield of the Soviets.
Without the KGB, the bureaucracy of the Mao Bear family completely freed itself.
Seeing that the secretary gave in, Chuikov let out a cold snort of disgust. He knew what the secretary meant, but he didn't care about pointing to the fifty mobile phones piled up in the room.
"With all these things, who do you think would turn down my offer?"
Zhou Qingfeng provided a 'worth of $4 million' mobile phones, which could be shipped back to Moscow by special plane, without paying taxes, and immediately cashed out.
The secretary glanced at it, his head lowered, but he continued to remind: "Comrade minister, these are provided as payment, but I am afraid that it will not be enough. ”
The Ministry of Aviation Industry of the USSR was not alone in Chuikov, there were thousands of people in the bureaucracy waiting to get the benefits. At the end of the collapse of the Red Empire, all faces looked greedy and ugly.
The destruction of the empire was like a gluttonous feast, with countless vested interests sitting around the table holding knives and forks, eating away at the alliance's decades of accumulation.
His Excellency the Deputy Minister sneered at the secretary's concerns. He pointed to the suitcase on the table and said, "Our friends at the Holy Light have given us even better gifts. ”
At the signal of Chuikov, the secretary opened the suitcase that was placed on the table.
Xiao Jinlang had a lot of trouble delivering the box. When the secretary took the box, he also felt that it was not light, and he didn't have to guess what was inside.
But only when you open the suitcase can you feel how much this gift really weighs.
Gold bars, yellow gold bars.
There are no marks, no marks, just simple gold bars. The density of gold was extremely high, and a small suitcase contained more than twenty kilograms.
This is a hard currency that is stronger than the dollar.
Ever since he was influenced by the goblin's 'seductive humans', Chuikov's mind began to turn. He is still determined, but his ideas are very different from the past.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chuikov grabbed a gold bar and felt a little hot in his hand, with a certain stinging pain in his palm. He endured it, and the stinging quickly disappeared as if it had never appeared.
But the secretary who helped Chuikov hand over the gold bars also felt the same way, and after grabbing the heavy gold, he didn't want to let it go, and after enduring the sting, he felt a little indescribable fulfillment and joy.
"Go pour me a glass of vodka." Chuikov was happy, he looked at the coffee that had just been delivered, and without hesitation, he chose to drink something to make him happy.
"Your body is not fit for drinking." The secretary put down the gold bar and wanted to persuade him. He has been following Chuikov for two or three years, and he knows that the other party's stomach and liver are not very good.
"I feel a lot younger." A hot current swelled up in Chuikov's heart, and he loosened his collar, as if a powerful force poured in, and his whole body was hot, "Go and pour a glass, I want to celebrate." ”
The secretary also felt energetic, and gave His Excellency the Deputy Minister a drink, and he wanted to drink some of it.
Two taels of cups, Chuikov drank them dry in one gulp. When the liquor enters the throat, it stimulates the brain intensely, and the pleasure that comes from the gold bar becomes more intense and exciting.
It's a wonderful feeling.
"Put the gold bars away, and tomorrow we will go back to Moscow." The company is very ambitious, and I like this kind of company that has ambition and pays a starting price.
I can give what the Light wants. What I want, the Light can give. The president of this company is interesting and a nasty little guy. ”
Chuikov himself took the bottle and drank three glasses in a row. The stomach that should have been stimulated by alcohol and ached actually felt warm, as if the pain caused by years of alcoholism had been cured by the sudden arrival of gold.
His Excellency the Deputy Minister had a thousand cups of excitement that he was not drunk, and he did get happier the more he drank, and a large bottle of vodka was quickly consumed. Even the secretary was surprised.
Chuikov was supposed to be drunk, but he slept excellently that night, very well. Wake up early the next morning, the state of the early abandonment.
On the other side, Xiao Jinlang, who was in charge of gift-giving, called Zhou Qingfeng to report. Zhou Qingfeng deliberately asked, "Lao Xiao, didn't you open the suitcase and touch the contents inside?" ”
Xiao Jinlang was very unhappy, "Mr. Zhou, are you stupid for me?" Can't guess that the heavy box is gold bars? Am I the kind of money-grubber? ”
Zhou Qingfeng said seriously: "This has nothing to do with being greedy or not. I mean, don't touch the stuff in there, those gold bars ......, just don't touch them anyway.
If you do, you have to come to me within twenty-four hours, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”
"What do you mean?" Lao Xiao didn't understand.
"It's not interesting, just remember not to touch it."
