Material Empire

From the moment he set off from the capital, Heizi felt aggrieved. The experts on the train were all talking about technical issues. He didn't understand technology, so he couldn't talk at all. In the Soviet Union, everyone either spoke Russian or English. He didn’t understand foreign languages, let alone interrupt, he didn’t even understand what people were saying. After following everyone around like this for a long time, he was already extremely depressed.

Hearing Qin Hai ordering him to fight wine with the other party, Heizi suddenly felt refreshed, and finally had a chance for him to feel proud. Sunspot is born with an abnormality. In medical terms, it is the lack of certain enzymes in the body, which makes it completely unable to absorb alcohol. So for him, there is no difference between alcohol and white water, and he will not feel drunk as much as he drinks.

Come on, I respect all Soviet friends. Heizi stood up, holding a wine glass and began to challenge several Soviets.

The Soviets are famous for their good wine, and Seriosha, Utkin, and Vavilov are all good wine players. Before that, they had all been in contact with Chinese people, and they had never lost in the process of drinking with Chinese people. In general, they haven't drunk enough, and the Chinese guests who drink with them are already drunk. This time, seeing that Heizi stood up and invited them to drink, they didn't bother to embarrass Qin Hai, Lu Jingrong and others, and competed with Heizi enthusiastically.

Xie Qijin knew about Heizi's drinking capacity, so he wasn't worried about Heizi at all. Seeing Heizi single-handedly fighting against three Soviets, there was only one thing he had to do, which was to order the proprietress to serve the wine as soon as possible. Lu Jingrong didn't know, and at first he was sweating for Heizi, but seeing that Qin Hai and Xie Qijin were indifferent, he couldn't say anything more.

In less than half an hour, the winner of the wine table had already been decided. Heizi sat firmly on his seat, his expression as usual. Xie Liozha had already got under the table, was dragged out by Xie Qijin, and thrown on the sofa beside him, only able to giggle. Vavilov drank less, but his pale face had turned a maroon. Utkin panted heavily, his eyes were bigger than a bull's, and he said he wanted to continue drinking, but his hands were already shaking so much that he couldn't even hold the glass.

Good... good job, you are this... great hero! Utkin stuck out his tongue and gave Heizi a thumbs up. In his opinion, whoever can drink more is great. Heizi drank all three of them down by himself, so he was naturally a hero among heroes.

President Qin, do you still drink? Heizi pointed to the three Soviets and asked President Qin for instructions.

Mr. Qin patted Heizi on the shoulder and said, No need, they're almost done. If you drink any more, we won't be able to talk today.

Heizi smiled and said, Then I'll go to the bathroom first... I can't hold so much wine in my stomach.

Watching Heizi leave, Qin Hai sat up straight and said to Utkin, Mr. Utkin, we're almost done drinking, can we talk about something?

It's absolutely fine. Utkin hiccupped and stuttered, but his mind was still clear, and he was just a little excited.

Qin Haidao: I have already introduced myself before. I am the person in charge of a Chinese company. I came to the Soviet Union this time to import some discarded equipment. If I can find some technical information, it would be even more ideal. I I heard that the business volume of your factory has declined recently, there must be a lot of idle equipment, I wonder if Mr. Utkin is willing to resell these idle expired equipment to us?

You want to buy our equipment? Utekin's eyes regained some clarity. It seems that interest is indeed the best sober soup.

Yes. Of course, I only want to buy some obsolete second-hand equipment, because I can't afford the equipment that is too expensive. Qin Hai said.

For such meaningful words, I can only ask Xie Qi to come in and translate them. Although Lu Jingrong's Russian is good, if you put the same sentence in his mouth, it will lose its charm. What is needed is that kind of tacit mutual suggestion.

We have a lot of idle equipment, and the prices are very reasonable. If you are interested, you can come to the factory to find me and Vavilov tomorrow, and we will accompany you to the workshop to inspect. By the way, apart from the workshop In addition, our laboratory also has many experimental instruments that are no longer needed. You must know that these instruments were purchased from countries such as the United States, Japan, and Germany with a large amount of foreign exchange. These things are no longer needed by us now. I don’t know. Are you interested, Utkin said bluntly.

Qin Haidao: If the price is right, of course we are interested. However, I think these equipments have already been depreciated, right? The current salvage value is estimated to be less than 10% of the original purchase price, right?

Utkin understood that Qin Hai was asking the price, and he replied without hesitation: No problem, we can sell these devices to you at 10% of the purchase price.

Of course, the equipment that can be sold is not junk that has been fully depreciated, and no one will be interested in those junk even if they are given away for free. The things that Utkin and Vavilov put up for sale were advanced equipment and instruments that were 70% to 80% new. If they were sold at 10% of the original price, it could definitely be regarded as a tearful sale.

In normal times, Utkin may still be a little dissatisfied with the 10% price, and he will bargain with the merchants again in order to get a better price. However, Utekin was half drunk and half awake now, and he couldn't concentrate on negotiating with Qin Hai, so he simply agreed to Qin Hai's offer in one step.

10% of the price has to be handed over to the factory for entry. In addition, the two of us need some commissions for doing these jobs. Commissions...do you understand? Vavilov interjected.

Qin Hai nodded: I understand, I don't know what is the standard for the two of you to withdraw the commission.

6% of the original value of the equipment, Utkin and I, each half. Vavilov said bluntly, and he was talking through the strength of alcohol. Normally, he would be more reserved than now .

The equipment of the factory is sold at 10% of the original price, but the factory manager and the chief engineer have to get a commission of 6%. In other words, the money they received was equivalent to 60% of the factory's income. Qin Hai believed that if he was willing to give these two people some more commissions, maybe they would be willing to make a big concession on the basis of 10%. In the hearts of these two moths, their own pockets are the most important. As for other things, to apply an old saying: don't care about the flood.

I completely agree with your commission. Qin Hai nodded. Even with the commission, the cost he needs to pay is only 16% of the original value of the equipment. If the equipment is in good condition, this price can be said to be the price of cabbage.

Cheer up! Come on, let's have another drink for our cooperation. Utkin cheered up and reached out to grab the wine bottle.

Heizi, who had already returned from the toilet, got the wine bottle first with a smile, poured full glasses for Utkin and Vavilov, then poured another glass for himself, and said, President Qin has a small capacity for alcohol, and I Come and drink this cup with the two of you.

Cheers! Utkin didn't care who he was drinking with, he drank it for his mood, as long as he drank it to make him happy.

Mr. Qin, besides our factory's equipment, are you interested in other equipment? Vavilov sat down beside Qin Hai, took his hand, and asked in a low voice. He already knew that Qin Hai could speak English, so he switched to English to communicate with Qin Hai.

Qin Haidao: Our company is in a period of great development, and there is a shortage of various equipment. If Mr. Vavilov can help us contact other companies' equipment, we must be very interested. As for the commission, we You can also pay separately.

This is too easy. Vavilov adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said proudly: I have a lot of classmates and friends throughout the Far East. No matter what kind of equipment you want, I can help you. You contacted me just to see if you have so much money.

Our capital is very sufficient and there is no problem. Qin Hai said that he can mobilize a maximum of more than one billion U.S. dollars in funds. If he buys equipment at 10% of the price, he can buy at least 10 large-scale enterprises. factory. What's more, what he wants to purchase is only some high-tech equipment, which is too ordinary equipment. Unless it is really dealt with at the price of scrap iron, otherwise he will not spend the unjustified money.

Vavilov smiled slightly and said, Mr. Qin, I think that besides buying equipment, you are also interested in technology? There are countless research institutions in the Far East with a lot of cutting-edge technology. China is now going to modernize. I believe that these technologies will be of great help to you.

Aren't these technologies related to confidentiality and patent issues? Qin Hai pretended to ask.

Vavilov said disdainfully: In the past, the results of these research institutions were kept secret, but who cares about these things now? As long as you can afford the fee, I can let those researchers transfer the technology to You guys. As for patents, you can rest assured that these technologies are not patented. After you take them away, if you are willing to apply for patents in your name, I don’t think anyone will object.”

This is great. Qin Hai pretended to be happy and said to Vavilov. However, he felt very uncomfortable.

It's really a wall that everyone is pushing. The Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated, and these people in important positions are already trying to tear down the stage in different ways. Equipment, technology, and talents are all sold by them for nothing. When the system transition is completed and the country needs to resume economic construction, how much of the original family will be left? Thinking that Russia in later generations would have to sell oil and natural gas to maintain its BRIC status, Qin Hai didn't know what to say.

Continue to ask for monthly tickets, late at night, idle and idle, right?

A book friend asked how to vote on a mobile phone. I took a look. On Android, after reading all the content, press the page to enter the following voting interface, where there is an option to vote monthly. The rule of monthly voting is that each person can only vote five votes for the same book every month, and no more than two votes per day.
