Chapter 0555 Save Face

Zhou Qingfeng's words were low and heavy. Every tone and frustration is knocking on people's hearts, and the reporters present gradually feel that the atmosphere is solemn.

What started as a delightful press conference turned out to be a scene of screams and shouts to the world.

Everyone can feel a heaviness, an unwillingness, a pride, and an unyielding composure in shackles.

When the announcement ended, the room was quiet for a few seconds, followed by a series of flashing lights.

The media, translators, and Cui Kefu himself who attended the press conference also felt the vigorous momentum and motivation of Zhou Qingfeng's words.

When the translator paraphrased Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, Cui Kefu, who was in his sixties, felt a kind of muscle trembling. He turned his head to look at the young man beside him, and although the two of them were close to each other, they seemed to be standing at opposite ends of time and space.

At one end is the Soviet Union, which is about to fall into the abyss, and at the other end is China, which is striving for progress.

The two of them stood in the void, and at their feet were floating islands that kept pulling apart. One rises, jumps, and runs to the light. One fell, stuck, fell into darkness.

Once upon a time, the great Soviet also had such a group of energetic young people. By their own will and body, they shaped the mighty Red Empire.

But in less than a hundred years, the warrior who slayed the dragon became an evil dragon. While the people voted to keep the coalition, the elites chose to split.

For Lao Maozi, the great motherland can only be pursued in memory.

The press conference lasted for half an hour, and all the media felt that they had gained a lot. When the meeting ended, the reporters in the imperial capital hall even stood up and applauded.

Xiao Jinlang stood not far away and quietly gave a thumbs up, approving Zhou Qingfeng's last words.

When the two walked out of the hall, Xiao Jinlang also whispered: "I'll think of a way to let you talk about today on tonight's 'news broadcast'." ”

it!

Zhou Qingfeng turned his head in surprise, "It's so big?" I was a little panicked. Which link can I go to? 'The leader is busy' definitely won't be my turn. Is it 'the people are happy' or 'the water is in dire straits'? ”

Xiao Jinlang rolled his eyes, "If you have a short message, be content." Don't overthink it. ”

Although the 'news broadcast' is broadcast every day, every month, and every year, ordinary people don't like to watch it. But this is the direction of China's public opinion and policy, and the country's major affairs are all on the top.

We must pay attention to both business and politics.

If Uncle Zhou can really be on the 'news broadcast', his worth will definitely increase by a hundred times.

Panicked!

Zhou Qingfeng muttered, "In the future, everyone will send me money, or use sugar-coated shells to corrode, what can I do?" In fact, it's okay to say that sugar-coated cannonballs are the most afraid of meeting a beauty. ”

Lin Wan and Huang Li followed behind, and their hearts were shocked by Zhou Qingfeng's words just now. Facing the reporter's camera and questions, the second daughter also felt honored and honored.

However, as soon as he turned his head, his own president was worried about the 'beauty plan'.

What a shame!

I can't strangle him!

The press conference ended, but the 'Holy Light' and the Soviet side still had something to discuss.

Cui Kefu took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Zhou Qingfeng, "Zhou, your speech makes people feel a strong force, and you will become a hero of this country." ”

Zhou Qingfeng was humble in a blink of an eye, shook hands and chuckled: "Our cooperation will make each other a national hero." ”

Chuikov wanted to laugh in response, but his heart was filled with endless sadness.

The Imperial Capital Hall needs to be refurbished. Anyway, the rent is rented, so it is better to change the format of the press conference to face-to-face negotiation. The 'Holy Light' made a request for the overhaul line, and the two sides had to exchange views.

Old Chuikov could have gone to the lounge, but he stood beside Zhou Qingfeng and asked in a low voice, "Zhou, I agree in principle to export a set of overhaul lines to you. But can the next transaction be paid in dollars? ”

From January 1, 91, the commercial and trade exchanges between China and the Soviet Union were changed to spot settlement. The past transaction method of 'barter' is obviously not in the interests of Lao Maozi.

Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Vice Minister, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous. If barter continues, we can also use our light industry goods to solve the current shortage of goods in your country's market.

Ordinary people can also benefit.

If it is changed to spot settlement. I am afraid that as soon as the money arrives, it will be divided among the oligarchs, the rich, the corrupt, and foreign speculators.

As far as I know, there are quite a few people in your country who are taking advantage of the exchange rate loophole to cash out. People's property is shrinking rapidly......"

The decline of the alliance is, first of all, the decay of the economy. The collapse of the alliance began with the collapse of finance. The elites are desperately trying to get rich, and there is no scum left for the people.

Zhou Qingfeng's words stung Cui Kefu.

The old Bolshevik looked angry, even more annoyed, and even gritted his teeth. Suddenly, like an angry lion, he waved his hand and interrupted, "That's enough, don't talk about it." ”

The roar shook the corridor outside the hall, and the reporters had not yet left. A few bold ones even raised their cameras on the spot and grabbed Zhou Qingfeng and Cui Kefu, who were standing side by side, into the lens.

People thought that the two had quarrels and accidents, but they saw Zhou Qingfeng gently patting the deputy minister's shoulder. Old Chuikov, on the other hand, had red eyes and a sad and angry face, and was taking out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.

"We used to be comrades-in-arms, we used to be adversaries, and we can be friends in the future. If we do not cooperate, the vast industrial system left by the Soviets will only fall apart and rust and mottle.

At most, the West wants your resources, not your equipment. Your talents will either stay and do nothing, or they will go to the Western world.

I know that you are also wary of us, and do not want to see a great power emerge in the East. But the Soviets fell, and someone had to stand up and withstand the fire of the West.

If you don't help us, who else can you help?

Mothers in your country are short of food, girls don't have beautiful dresses, and the shelves of the market are empty.

Veterans of the Great Patriotic War are selling their medals, and their granddaughters will one day even become prostitutes.

The lesser of two evils. In the absence of an optimal solution, the suboptimal solution is the only solution. At least I can trade fairly with you and retain the minimum dignity.

Your Excellency Deputy Minister, I can actually be honest with you.

I want not just a line of overhaul, I want engineers from Kuibyshev, scientists from the Central Aero Engine Research Institute, all the good stuff under the nine ministries of defense industry.

You can think I'm being too arrogant, but I'm serious. I can choose to work with you, or I can choose a shameless and greedy guy to work with.

With only tens of thousands, if not thousands, of dollars, I can find countless people in your country who have the resources and power. I've always been honest with people, it's up to you how you choose? ”

Before Zhou Qingfeng's words were finished, Cui Kefu trembled in anger. He suddenly wanted to beat this kid, but his fist was just clenched, and his palm was grabbed by the other party.

Zhou Qingfeng's strength was nearly four times that of ordinary people, he gently pressed Cui Kefu's hand back, stared into the other party's eyes, and whispered: "If this is your answer, then I really have to consider changing collaborators." ”
