After hearing Yalikov's words, Zhao Zhuo suddenly lost his identity.

After all, in Yalikov's mouth, Zhao Zhuo was like a savior who was galloping towards Berezniki with his daily necessities.

But he's like... You're here to do business, right?

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhuo understood Yalikov's thoughts a little.

As a people of a country that has suffered a lot, the Soviets were born with a national sentiment that admired suffering.

This would also explain why the Soviet Union was crumbling and the domestic market was so chaotic, but the majority of Soviets were able to survive.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but have a sense of respect and pity for the people of the Soviet Union.

What is respected is their optimism and open-mindedness in the face of suffering.

It's a pity that their country has fallen into the current situation for various reasons.

In contrast, Zhao Zhuo, as a Chinese, felt the greatness of the motherland even more:

It also took a short thirty or forty years for China to go away from the war years, one generation shed three generations of blood, one generation suffered three generations of suffering, and finally the country ushered in earth-shaking changes!

In addition to some emotion, Zhao Zhuo did not forget his task.

After eating, Yalikov had already arranged a hotel.

Rest for the night, and the next day, the two will go straight to Berezniki.

……

Early the next morning, the two arrived at the Moscow airport.

After buying the ticket to Berezniki, looking at the amount on the ticket, Rao is Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little painful.

The money for one trip in the Soviet Union is enough for Zhao Zhuo to fly directly from the capital to Moscow five times!

This also confirms Yalikov's problem of expensive fuel.

After almost two hours of flying, the two finally arrived in Berezniki!

While the plane had not yet landed, Zhao Zhuo carefully observed the long-heard city from top to bottom.

The first thing that catches the eye is the numerous black spots around the city, large and small, which are the pits formed after mining.

Then there are one chimney after another in the city—a vestige of the once industrial glory, but unfortunately none of them are still smoking.

"Where's the Dala Automobile Plant?"

Zhao Zhuo asked.

Yalikov leaned to the window, looked closely, and then pointed to a place in the ground and said:

"I guess that's it."

Zhao Zhuo looked in the direction of Yalikov's finger and saw a small town spread over the plain about twenty kilometers away from Berezniki.

The town of Dara is clearly built around a square complex of buildings in the center. And the most central building complex is naturally the Dala Automobile Factory.

When Zhao Zhuo had a general understanding in his heart, the plane also landed slowly.

Out of the airport, the two came to the designated location according to the agreement with Sholokhov.

Soon, a driver-like figure approached.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yalikov?"

The driver asked politely in Russian.

Yalikov and Zhao Zhuo nodded, and the driver took the two of them into the car.

Seeing that the driver was alone, Yalikov couldn't help frowning and asked.

"I said, why didn't your deputy director come?"

When the driver heard this, he asked:

"Are you asking Mr. Sholokhov?"

Yalikov nodded:

"That's right."

The driver replied:

"Mr. Sholokhov was supposed to come to greet you personally, but considering that several other guests had to be received, I had to come myself."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo and Yalikov glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"How many other guests? What does that mean? ”

Zhao Zhuo asked directly in Russian.

And the driver was a little surprised when he saw that Zhao Zhuo was able to speak proficient Russian, and then said:

"As the saying goes, all the guests are guests, and there are a few guests who have come all the way to our Dala Automobile Factory."

After saying this, it seems that he didn't say it, and the identities of the other guests were not revealed at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo pursed his lips helplessly, too lazy to continue asking.

After all, when you get to it for a while, you will naturally know everything.

Thinking about this, Zhao Zhuo simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

Yalikov, on the side, looked a little uneasy.

After all, Sholokhov left his old comrade-in-arms and buyers not to greet him, so the identity of these guests must be very important.

It is even very likely that these people are also here to buy cars!

Thinking of this, Yalikov was a little anxious.

I saw him shake Zhao Zhuo, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and asked with some worry:

"I said, what if the customers in the driver's mouth also came to buy cars like us?!"

Zhao Zhuo looked light and breezy:

"What to do? Cold! ”

Hearing this, Yalikov had no choice but to shut his mouth and wait patiently to get to the place to see what the situation was.

……

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the town of Dara, passed through the residential area, and came to the Dala Automobile Factory.

"Old comrade-in-arms, I finally waited for you!"

As soon as Zhao Zhuo and Yalikov got out of the car, a bearded man greeted him and gave Yalikov a hug.

It seems that the person who came was Yalikov's comrade-in-arms, Sholokhov.

Sure enough, after seeing Sholokhov and Yalikov hugging, they turned to look at Zhao Zhuo again:

"Hello, you're Mr. Zhao, right?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded:

"Hello Mr. Sholokhov, I'm Zhao Zhuo."

And I saw that Yalikov also excitedly hammered Sholokhov's shoulder:

"What the hell are you doing with this bearded man? They didn't even go to meet me! ”

Hearing this, Sholokhov's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he paused before saying:

"Because this time you want to buy cars, not only the two of you, but also several people, all of whom are from China like Mr. Zhao."

Sure enough, the two of them guessed right in advance, and there are still peers!

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo and Yalikov's expressions were a little stiff, Sholokhov couldn't help but say with some embarrassment:

"Originally, I proposed to the factory director that only you should be purchased, but unexpectedly, the factory director came up with an idea of bidding, and found several businessmen, saying that they were going to hold a bidding meeting and let you compete."

Hearing this, Yalikov suddenly became a little unhappy:

"Old comrade-in-arms, this is different from what you told me before!"

Sholokhov was also a little embarrassed to know that he had not fulfilled his promise.

At this moment, Zhao Zhuo shook his head with a smile, and said lightly:

"Yalikov, don't blame your comrade-in-arms. I'm sure he must have done his best. ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo looked at Sholokhov again, and then said:

"What's more, the procurement conditions we have prepared are not afraid of competition from any peers!"
