Deyang, Dongqi Group.

This was Kuchma's first time in China, but there was nothing new in his heart, only a sense of despair.

Just a few months ago, Huaxia took most of the shares of the Madasic factory through a model that hid a huge loophole, and even launched the poison pill program, luring the Madasic factory into making a series of wrong decisions, pulling the entire group's finances into the abyss.

The U.S. shares were forced to withdraw, and Dongqi took advantage of the situation to completely take down Madasic.

And they moved less than two weeks faster than the UKR issued the ban list.

It's just two weeks away.

In just two weeks, he will be able to keep the company, which belongs to UKR itself.

But now, it's too late.

After being completely controlled, even the UKR officials had to compromise, otherwise, the wolf-like engineers of the Dongqi Group really dared to use the poison pill plan to completely destroy the entire Madasic, and then empty all the equipment and all the data there.

Not to mention the equipment, even the personnel, they are ready to pack and take away.

In just one year, the number of scientific researchers and other related personnel who came to Dongqi on a "business trip" from Madasic reached an astonishing 900.

These people were scattered around the Dongqi Group's plant, and after a long period of adaptation, they have integrated into life here.

And he was the last group of engineers to come to the Dongqi Group.

He wanted to quit his job, but when he thought about the deteriorating economic environment in China and his three children, he felt that he had no choice.

So, he had no choice but to obey Meng Qinghao's arrangement and flew here with his family.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was arranged to sit in a special business car to greet him, and the professional staff of the customer's engineering department took good care of him.

At the same time, the colleague who arranged to receive him was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw his figure, he immediately greeted him.

"Kuchma!"

"Lermontov!"

Kuchma hurriedly took two steps and stepped forward to take Lermontov's hand.

"How's it going, is the journey going well? Is it a good place to rest? ”

Lermontov's face was full of smiles, but Kuchma subconsciously thought that his smile was fake.

Yes, how can it be pleasant to be far away from home and struggling to establish yourself in a completely unfamiliar environment?

His current performance is just to leave a good impression in the eyes of those Chinese people, so as to make his life better again, right?

Thinking of this, Kuchma sighed and replied with pity on his face:

"Luckily, everything went well on the road."

"But you're here, it's really hard."

However, his sincere expression was completely misunderstood by Lermontov.

At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was:

Indeed, the time of these months is too tight, and many times I have to work overtime until more than ten o'clock, and even on weekends.

Fortunately, now that the project has come to an end, the next few days should be quite leisurely.

Take advantage of this opportunity to maybe go to Chengdu.

His wife and children are clamoring to see the pandas, so let's go.

It's just that when I think of the fatigue of the journey, I feel that it is really hard

But how did Kuchma know about the situation?

Could it be that when he was in China, he already paid attention to the progress here?

Sure enough, he is a leader, with such a vision and such a vision, he should have discovered that cooperating with Dongqi and coming here is the right choice, right?

Lermontov smiled gratefully and replied:

"It's not hard, our career is valuable."

"You're here this time, maybe we'll be able to go to the next level soon."

Hearing this, Kuchma immediately became vigilant.

He realized that it might be Lermontov who was sending a code message to himself.

Sure enough, in this unfree country, even speech is subject to surveillance, and no discontent can be expressed.

So, he nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, I hope our career will go further."

As he spoke, Lermontov had already taken his luggage and walked towards the park with Kuchma and his family.

As he walked, he introduced:

"This is the main plant of Dongqi Group, and they have three more factories like this across the country."

"It's huge! In addition, I heard that a new construction will be built this year to house the equipment that was taken over from Madasic. ”

"When the time comes, maybe we'll have the opportunity to use those familiar devices."

A disdainful smile appeared on Lermontov's lips, and he thought to himself:

As for those devices, I really don't want to use them now.

It's too rough, it's too old, and some of it is even completely behind the times, if it weren't for the fact that there are still some functions on those devices that haven't been implemented for the time being, I'm afraid they won't be accepted at all, but will be directly disassembled into parts extraction technology

It's still Dongqi's new equipment.

Comprehensive electronic informatization, simple operation, high accuracy, and most importantly, data recording throughout the process.

I no longer have to hold a pen and paper while I am doing it, and when I think about it, it is really an inefficient way to work.

It's nice to be rich

His expression became a little emotional, however, such emotion changed in Kuchma's eyes.

It turns out that his colleagues don't even need the most advanced equipment here?

Looking at Lermontov's performance, he has already begun to miss those familiar "iron comrades".

It's sad

So, he opened his mouth and comforted:

"I'm sure I'll use it, don't worry."

Lermontov looked at him a little strangely, but did not think much about it, but continued:

"Walking from this path is the staff dormitory area, logically speaking, you should be assigned a single-family house, after all, you are a senior engineer."

"However, there have been too many people lately, and some of the residences can't be arranged, so you have been placed next door to me for the time being."

"It's a little narrower, but it should be enough."

Kuchmarne sighed and did not speak.

For such a situation, he has long been mentally prepared.

To put it bluntly, now I am just a "captive" after the defeat of the business war, since I am a prisoner, what right do I have to choose to keep my own cell?

Yes, that's pretty good.

He only wished that he could have two beds in his own residence, after all, the child had grown up and could no longer sleep with his parents.

As they walked on, Kuchma's wife and children were curious about the new things in front of them, they were used to seeing the same gray buildings on the UKR side, and at first glance they saw the red walls and green tiles of the dormitory area, and they felt an indescribable beauty.

Kuchma's youngest son ran here and there, and Lermontov did not stop him, but Kuchma called him back sternly.

He didn't want to make a mistake because of his son on the first day he came.

He must be responsible for his wife and children.

After a short time, several people came to the dormitory building of the destination, and looking at the brand-new building in front of them, Kuchma was a little puzzled.

Doesn't that seem like a bad condition?

Could it be that several families live in one room?

It shouldn't be

Walking into the corridor, something that surprised him even more happened.

There's actually an elevator inside.

Kuchma looked at Lermontov suspiciously, and asked:

"This is a dormitory?"

"yes!"

Lermontov replied as a matter of course.

"Why is there an elevator?"

"This is a newly built dormitory, all of which have elevators-—— of course, the price is also high, and the rent is an average of 500 yuan more per month."

"Oh, I see."

Kuchma said in understanding.

It turns out that this is how the wages that were sent out are recovered.

This detail already reflects their ambitions, and I don't know how to do it in other aspects.

Everyone walked into the elevator, and soon reached the sixth floor and opened the door.

Kuchma looked at the spacious, bright, well-equipped room in a daze, and asked tentatively:

"Which one are we staying in?"

"Which one? Belch. You can live in the master bedroom, two children and one second bedroom. ”

"This is a set of rooms. It's all ours? ”

Kuchma asked incredulously.

"Temporary placement, to be precise. You don't have to pay rent for the first three months of your arrival, but after three months, you have to pay $2,700 a month. ”

"Of course, if you want to move to the villa area, you can also turn it over when the places are vacant, but that is more expensive, and it will even take more than 10,000 a month for the better ones."

More than ten thousand.

Kuchma silently read the number in his mind.

If you look at the basic salary alone, he needs to work for two months in the UKR to save enough for one month's salary here.

It's not low.

And the wages here cannot be much higher than those of the UKR.

"I'm still not moving."

As he spoke, he began to worry about his life in secret.

But Lermontov, on the other hand, did not mean to be embarrassed at all, and after quickly putting away his luggage, he said to Kuchma:

"It's just the right time, let's go have lunch first. When you come back in the afternoon, you can have a good rest. ”

"Or, if you're interested, you can come with me to see our institute offices, as well as the building."

After a moment's hesitation, Kuchma spoke:

"Then eat first, and then go to the factory-—— do you collect rubles here?"

"No, but it's free."

"Understood."

It is also an insidious means of buying people's hearts.

I'm afraid, the meals they serve won't be too good either.

Thinking about his life in the UKR, Kuchma couldn't help but feel sad.

However, his grief did not last long.

When he arrived at the cafeteria and saw all kinds of food, he was stunned.

How do you feel that this place is different from what you imagined??

He was an upper-level manager in Madasic and was familiar with the workings of a company.

He also clearly understands a truth: whether a company or a factory can operate or not depends on their food.

After the poison pill program was launched, Madasic's meals dropped again and again, and finally there were only the simplest bread and bacon while here. There's everything!

"Are you sure it's free?"

"Of course, why not for free? It's free for all, including workers. ”

"Dongqi is a state-owned enterprise, and that's their benefit – well, there's even a pay for overtime."

"Okay."

Kuchma replied in a low voice.

He began to feel that things were getting a little different.

And then, something that surprised him even more happened.

Several Chinese-faced engineers saw Lermontov, came over to greet him with a smile on their faces, and then naturally sat down beside him, chatting with him in English without saying a word.

The content is very simple, nothing more than the gradually hot weather, constant overtime, a few days of vacation, and plans to see pandas

There was a palpable harmony on everyone's face.

This. How can it be?

Don't they exclude the engineers of Madasic?

Kuchma remained silent, and even when someone spoke to him, he did so casually.

It wasn't until after eating that he couldn't wait to ask:

"Who were those just now?"

"Huh? My colleague, two of them are good friends, he invited me to eat hot pot at home on the weekend, hot pot you know? You can come along, too! ”

"I'm not going."

"Why not? The friends here are very welcoming. ”

Friend.

Kuchma pondered the meaning of the word silently, and he felt that some preconception in his heart seemed to be subverted.

After lunch, Lermontov sent Kuchma's wife and children back to the dormitory, and he led Lermontov to the factory.

After a lot of access control, Kuchma, who was full of anticipation, finally saw the factory area that he had been thinking about.

He always wanted it to be run-down, old.

He hoped that the workers here should be dressed in greasy overalls, holding notched wrenches and crowbars.

He wanted the lights to be dim, and he wanted the air to rot.

However, with each curfew, his hopes were dashed.

Until finally, when the spacious factory appeared in front of him, there was something in his heart that was completely shattered.

Clean, tidy, brand-new machine tools visible to the naked eye, full of technology screen and indicator lights, as well as . Workers who look nervous, happy, or occasionally angry, but are absolutely vibrant.

This is not the Huaxia factory he had in mind at all.

Shouldn't such a scene appear in Lockheed Martin, in GM, and in Pratt & Whitney???

How did it end up here!?

And Lermontov on the side did not notice it at all.

He was also enthusiastically introducing the latest equipment.

"This is a machine that has just been imported from Germany, and it is really good, it took us two whole months to get it completely figured out."

"It's complicated, but I've heard that the mechanical and electrical institute has already started to copy it, and maybe by next year or the year after, we will be able to use our own machine tools."

Our own.

Kuchma-mamma followed Lermontov through the factory, and after the last curfew, a huge object appeared before his eyes.

It was a huge gas turbine.

Through the thick viewing window, Kuchma stared blankly at the unique jewel in modern industrial history.

His expression was only shocked.

When, they actually made such a thing??

Lermontov also lay down in front of the glass, and said with a proud face:

"That's what we've been doing for almost a year."

“AGT110。”

"This is the world's most powerful gas turbine, 110MW!"

"It's good luck, there was another ignition experiment today, and I just happened to be able to see it."

Just as he was talking, on the test bench, the AGT110 ignited with a bang.

A majestic roar pierced Kuchma's eardrums.

He didn't look at the shocking engine, but at Lermontov, who was intoxicated.

He finally understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Our business is valuable
