Chapter 0581 Maozi's Condition
In mid-September 91, after completing the first phase of negotiations on 'canning for airplanes', Zhou Qingfeng, as the president of 'Holy Light', was invited by the Ministry of Aviation Industry to lead a team to arrive at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
The Soviet side sent representatives to greet them, and Russian girls dressed in national costumes presented bread and salt, symbols of friendship and warmth, to the guests from afar.
A number of media conducted on-site interviews, and Zhou Qingfeng broke off a piece of bread in front of the camera, dipped it in salt and ate it. The two sides also held an impromptu press conference in a warm atmosphere.
The weather in Moscow in September is fairly refreshing, the temperature is a bit low. It's only about 10 degrees during the day, so you have to wear thicker.
Gong Wei of the 'Holy Light' business department has been in Moscow for more than half a month, and he has come forward to arrange the travel and accommodation of Zhou Qingfeng and his party.
This 'propaganda officer' seems to be quite comfortable in a foreign country. Just when he saw Zhou Qingfeng, he stepped forward as if crying, "President, are you here?" β
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Qingfeng got on the 'Mercedes-Benz' arranged by Gong Wei, left the airport and drove to the Niklskaya Hotel in the city, a five-star hotel, and it only took about ten minutes to walk to Red Square.
"This place is so messy. Just last month, a coup d'Γ©tat was staged in the city. Those hairy men drove the tanks into the streets. What the marshal and what the chairman of the KGB did.
Radio and TV stations are babbling all day long, I don't understand what they're doing? All the institutions in the city were paralyzed, the officials were expelled, and the common people went to the streets, but there was nothing in the market.
The whole city is almost unattended, and I have a star to look forward to in the hotel and dare not go out. The hotel is not necessarily very good, there are no food or drink for a few days, and many waiters have run away. β
Gong Wei's hands fluttered wildly, his expression was rich, and he was obviously frightened enough.
Zhou Qingfeng asked, "How is our Deputy Minister Chuikov?" β
"Lao Cui is okay, I gave him a few boxes of gold as planned. He was satisfied every time. Probably rich, so he enveloped a lot of people.
But the Ministry of Aviation Industry, to which Lao Cui belongs, has also ceased to operate, and he himself is uncertain and hiding. I can't find him unless he shows up on his own. β
Speaking of this, Gong Wei smiled and pointed to the few cars he had arranged, "But there are benefits to chaos here." I didn't know the situation when I first arrived, and I suffered a lot.
Later, I was able to see through the people and things in this place. A lot of people are too busy to take care of themselves. Give a straw and they will come around. So I paid a lot of money to work for us, both men and women, young and old.
A hundred dollars can get them to do their bidding, and many civil servants have even asked me for shelter to do whatever they want. It really feels like they're having a nervous breakdown and just want to escape.
I also met a lot of beautiful girls. They waited outside the hotel every day, and they were all from some regular song and dance troupe, and even some gymnastics troupe, or from Moscow University, and they were very enthusiastic. β
When Gong Wei said this, he smiled straightly, "I have a reservation with a few of them, and they are all very beautiful and have good personalities." If the president needs it, I will immediately call them to come and be your tour guide. β
Guide?
Zhou Qingfeng didn't even bother to roll his eyes, "What about the negotiators who came with you?" β
The members of the negotiation team who had chartered a plane before followed Gong Wei to Moscow, all of whom were arranged by Director Ma Qianshan and Ma. Gong Wei spread his hands, "Those guys are bold, except for coming back to me every few days to get money, I can't see anyone." However, they all know locals and are not worried about safety.
Most of Maozi's scientific research institutions and factories are concentrated in the Greater Moscow region, and they run around all day long, boldly. But I don't know where exactly they went.
A few days ago, they mysteriously wanted to charter a plane to transport a batch of things, but they were stopped at the airport. They were in a cold sweat one by one. Or I'll step in and find someone to pay them to put things right. β
Gong Wei smiled happily and consciously made great contributions. Zhou Qingfeng asked, "What did the people of the negotiation team carry away?" β
Gong Wei smiled, spread his hands and said, "I don't know, I won't say anything if I ask them." There are more than a dozen big tin boxes, and a few elderly old men are following.
Afterwards, Chuikov came to me and threatened to expel me. I gave him a box of gold bars, and he talked about how friends should help each other.
I was very impressed by a few old hairy people at the time of the accident. They were locked up in a small room at the airport, and I took the money to ransom them out.
Their eyes seemed to be immobile, and their faces were pale and pale, like walking dead. When it was time to board and leave, they thanked me. β
Ma Qianshan, the old fritter of that ministry and commission, mixed up a lot of people in the negotiation team of 'Holy Light'. Before, there was no money, and they were powerless. This time, with Zhou Qingfeng's $5 million public relations fee, they can be regarded as taking a big advantage.
I just don't know what to take advantage of.
So curious!
Maozi's tragedy has just begun. The next is only worse, not the worst.
"What about us?" Zhou Qingfeng asked, "What happened to the Kuibyshev aircraft factory?" β
"I've been to Kuibyshev, a small town southeast of Moscow, which belongs to the Samara region. Smaller cities are more stable than Moscow, but the manufacturing plant is not having a good time at the moment.
Maozi's situation is similar to ours, or even worse than ours. Young people want to run away, and those who stay have no intention of working. The managers of the factory were very eager to overhaul the line. β
"And what about the Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau?"
"I also went to that design bureau, it was in the Greater Moscow region. But the people in the design bureau were not very happy with my arrival, no one entertained me, and no one led the tour. I was asked to leave after only half a day.
Chuikov said that he could not do anything about it, and now some units do not listen to him. Instead, he recommended us to the Ilyushin Design Bureau, saying that as long as we bought more aircraft, we would be allowed to invest in the development of the Tu-204 and Il-96. β
Tu-204 and Il-96? One medium and one large.
Not to mention the former, the latter model was developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau in the mid-eighties, and it made its first flight in 88, and the progress was quite fast.
It can be regarded as a modern passenger aircraft, using a large number of Western standards and components, and the improved version is even intended to use the engine of the American Pratt & Whitney, which is much stronger than the Tu-154.
By '93, the Il-96 would be ready for commercial operation, but it was a short-term project.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned slightly, it sounded like a good idea, but he inexplicably felt that something was wrong. Think about it carefully...... isn't this a trick for Da Mao to coax the third brother to be a Kaizi?
The third brother first made a big deal and repaid the account of 10 billion US dollars with several million dollars. But when it turned around, it was held down and slaughtered by Da Mao like a fat sheep, until it was slaughtered with a psychological shadow.
After experiencing the tragedy of the 'Marshal Gorshkov' aircraft carrier, when Da Mao tricked the third brother into joining the 'Su-57' fighter and 'PAK-DA' bomber projects, even the third brother, who had always been easy to talk, did not agree.
Mao Zi clearly just wants other people's money to support his own projects, and he said it so well.
What kind of 'joint research and development', monkey play.
(It's getting harder and harder these days.) If you can't ask for a monthly pass and subscription, you can ask for the attention and advertising clicks of the 'all-eating Taoist' official account, which doesn't cost money. οΌ
