Chapter 1843 We Are Not Rich

After Yang Xiaotao finished writing the note, Lou Xiao'e took the note and was about to pull Liu Lixue out, while Yang Xiaotao took out paper and pen, preparing to sort out the matters regarding the medicinal wine so that he could report it with Liu Huaimin.

At this time, Liu Lixue stopped for a moment, pulled Lou Xiaoe, and looked back at Yang Xiaotao.

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised, but she still stopped and stood at the door.

"Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about how to start when he heard Liu Lixue's voice. Yang Xiaotao looked up and looked at the other party.

"Boss Yang, there is something I want to tell you!"

There was no smile on Liu Lixue's face and she looked very solemn.

Yang Xiaotao put down his pen and looked at the girl in front of him seriously.

To be honest, the two have met many times during the past two years of work, and because of Lou Xiao'e, they have a good relationship.

Of course, with the presence of Xiaowei, who is good at digging out information, he would know more about Liu Lixue and Lou Xiaoe.

But even though they knew it, it would not be good for anyone to tell it out loud, and Yang Xiaotao was not opposed to this kind of relationship between them.

Just looking at Liu Lixue like this, Yang Xiaotao was a little confused.

Could it be that she wanted to confess her relationship with Lou Xiao'e to him?
There's no need for that. I know everything!

Yang Xiaotao was thinking in his mind, Liu Lixue took two steps forward, then stood aside and spoke softly.

"Boss Yang, I have some news to tell you!"

"you say!"

"Well, I heard a piece of news that someone from the alliance wanted us to help Bei'an fight!"

"Ok?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard Liu Lixue say this, he immediately became serious.

"How can we help?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask where the news came from, and I didn't ask whether it was true, because he knew that this was destined to happen.

Moreover, in connection with what Yu Zecheng mentioned to him, Yang Xiaotao understood that the current situation in the country was the same as his situation.

We are all in this situation and have no choice.

There are some things that you have to do even though you know they will have no results.

In fact, it may be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

"I do not know about this!"

"I'm just telling you, I don't know if it will be of any use!"

Liu Lixue didn’t know what she was thinking, but she just wanted to tell Yang Xiaotao the news.

As for why, maybe she thinks it is very important.

Or perhaps it was an expression of gratitude to Yang Xiaotao for helping Lou Xiao'e.

"Thank you!"

Yang Xiaotao didn’t know what the use of this information was, but the fact that Liu Lixue could tell him showed trust in him.

Liu Lixue shook her head and left with Lou Xiaoe.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao drummed his fingers on the table, his thoughts racing.

Whenever he thought of that ungrateful person, Yang Xiaotao's originally calm heart would feel depressed.

Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to smash the pot.

These ungrateful people are all bad.

But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do about it!

Moreover, he didn't dare to say that the world in front of him was the time and space of his previous life. If it was just a parallel time and space, then the memory of the future could only be used as a reference.

Or maybe, because of his appearance, things have changed.

Just like a mushroom egg, it explodes ahead of time, shakes the world ahead of time, and changes the node ahead of time.

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while and felt that what he could do was to try his best to change the development of this world.

Starting from Yangcun No. 1, starting from the engine, starting from the machine tool...

Then, little by little, make the country in this space stronger.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and picked up the pen.

But this time, Yang Xiaotao put a little more thought into his reasons.

Not long after Yang Xiaotao finished writing, Liu Huaimin also received a call from Mr. Chen's office.

You will have time around 1:00 p.m. to report your work.

Liu Huaimin came to Yang Xiaotao's office, told him the news, and then picked up Yang Xiaotao's report to read.

After all, it was a report for the leader, so some things in it needed to be carefully considered. He had worked in the First Ministry of Machine Building and paid more attention to this aspect.

Just seeing the purpose Yang Xiaotao wrote at the beginning, Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise.

If what Yang Xiaotao said before is true, the function of this medicinal wine is to open up foreign markets and earn more foreign exchange.

The beginning of Yang Xiaotao's article is actually an analysis of the international situation. What does this mean?
Just tell me how to make money, why write this?
Show off your foresight?
And I don't know anything about Annan, so how dare you conclude that the North can win?
Well, after all, we are in the same camp, so this can be considered revolutionary optimism!

Nothing said.

Liu Huaimin skipped the empty talk at the beginning and turned directly to the back to read the report on the medicinal wine. He read it carefully and found no obvious mistakes.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin took a car to the headquarters.

Outside Mr. Chen's office, in the waiting room, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin were sitting on chairs waiting to be met by Mr. Chen.

"Lao Liu, it's half past one!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch. It was supposed to be one o'clock, but now half an hour had passed and there was still no movement.

"The chief is busy, let's wait a moment!"

Liu Huaimin wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was such a hot day and there was no air conditioning.

The leader’s life is too hard and too simple!
crunch
The door opened and a female staff member came in, holding a plate with two slices of watermelon and a pot of tea, which she placed on the table.

"My dear leaders, the chief is meeting with foreign guests and cannot spare the time for the moment." "He asked you to eat some fruit first and wait a while!"

Liu Huaimin stood up immediately. "No problem, no problem. We are free anyway, so there is no rush!"

The female staff smiled, nodded, and was about to leave.

"Foreign guests?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Huaimin, who nodded, "The chief minister is in charge of economic development, foreign affairs, especially economic construction, and he has to deal with foreign guests."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, wondering if it had anything to do with what he had said to Liu Lixue.

In the reception room.

Old Chen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking calmly at the three people opposite him.

Judging from the attire and expressions of the three people, they were clearly divided into two groups.

Two of them had Western faces, while the remaining one had a Southeast Asian look.

"Mr. Chen!"

Among the three, the oldest man had a face full of wrinkles. When he spoke, the folds at the corners of his eyes twisted together, covering up the brilliance in his slender eyes.

However, after a long confrontation, there was more helplessness in the old man's eyes.

They originally thought that they could easily complete the mission this time. After all, their interests were the same. Just like what they did on the Korean Peninsula many years ago, they urged the other side to send troops to Bei'an to resist the expansion in Southeast Asia.

But who would have thought that every time they talked everything was fine, when it came to the issue of sending troops, the other party became vague, giving all kinds of reasons and refusing to give an accurate answer, which made him feel anxious.

He came with a mission. It was said that they were to send troops to deplete the strength of both sides and hold back the United States.

But now it seems that the mission is unlikely to be completed.

Nine out of ten times, I'll have to plant corn when I go back.

For the sake of his own future, the old man could only slow down his tone again and speak sincerely, "Mr. Chen, the current struggle situation is a critical time for us to bravely move forward and liberate the world!"

“We hope that the oppressed people around the world can unite together to defeat all enemies for the ultimate goal of the great mentor…”

"Now the other party is expanding wildly, and their ambitions can no longer be restrained..."

"We still hope that you can consider that as part of the revolution, we should help each other, just like the Korean War back then..."

“We hope that you can assume your important role and fulfill the mission entrusted by the Red Revolution…”

The old man spoke more and more excitedly, and Chen Laoer crossed his legs and responded intermittently, nodding from time to time to show that he had listened, but his face could not tell what he was thinking.

As Pavel spoke, the middle-aged man beside him remained serious. When Mr. Chen looked over, a warm smile flashed through his gold-rimmed glasses.

But in the eyes of Old Chen, the deputy envoy Canon in front of him had a hint of coldness in his straight bones. Even though it was hidden well, with years of experience in struggle, he still sensed a special aura.

This person's identity is probably not simple.

As for the remaining person, Old Chen didn't take him seriously at all.

At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe and just sat there timidly.

"Mr. Pavel, I understand your request!"

"But every family has its own problems, and we are not rich!"

Old Chen spread his hands out, looking like he was crying poor.

"So, I still reiterate our principles. Our main goal now is to develop the economy."

"People don't have enough to eat, and not everyone can afford a set of cotton-padded clothes. The country is extremely poor. Poverty, disease, and illiteracy are all weighing on us, making it difficult for us to breathe."

"Of course, we support our comrades in the revolutionary camp. Up to now, we are still providing them with material support. This is support without asking for anything in return!"

"So, it is difficult for us to send troops. We can only provide material assistance!"

Mr. Chen spoke eloquently, but everything he said was true.

Pavel was speechless again after hearing this. It was the same old thing again. He was using the country’s poverty as an excuse and playing Tai Chi again.

Doesn’t he know whether China is poor or not?
It is true that they were penniless before, but now, the other party's words definitely mean that they have given up.

Look at the corn seeds sold to the alliance every year. Because of this, their corn leader always gets furious and scolds the agricultural experts who do the research.

Why don’t you buy from China? Why buy from our arch-enemy?

In the past, when China did not have hybrid corn, they had to buy from their arch-enemy for the sake of revolution and construction.

A lot of money was spent on this, mainly to make the alliance feel inferior and embarrassed.

But now that we have China's hybrid corn, people choose to buy from the allied camp instead of from their mortal enemy. If that's not aiding the enemy, then what is that?
Even purchasing officials dare not say such things.

When it comes to ideology, one wrong step can lead to the abyss.

Therefore, even though the price offered by China was lower than that of the United States before, it still made a lot of money.

Of course, the alliance also relied on these seeds to develop light industry, so it was a win-win situation!

This guy must have some reservations about agriculture. He doesn't believe that the other party will not leave enough seeds for the country.

As for education, he didn't say anything because he didn't know much about it.

But medically, it's absolutely difficult.

They were jealous of those two kinds of medicines.

Those capitalists have to pay whatever money they can to survive.

He doesn't know how much he earns, but thanks to this geography, the Portuguese earned enough in the first half of this year to earn the total income of the country in three years.

This is just a Portuguese who likes to drink some soup. The Chinese are the ones who eat meat, so they will definitely make a lot of money!
You earn so much money, but you still say you are penniless. Where does your money go?
We have mushroom eggs, what else do you want?

You have planes, cannons, tanks and even missiles. Do you want to build aircraft carriers?
After all this, what are you going to do?
Pavel really wanted to point at the other person's nose and curse, "How shameless are you!"

Cough
Just when Pavel was about to continue explaining the matter, Canon next to him suddenly spoke. Seeing this, Pavel's face darkened and he looked displeased.

He didn't know why a deputy envoy was assigned to him before he left. If it was an ordinary person, he would have asked him to carry bags and be his younger brother. But this guy had a special identity, so he had to be careful!
Canon coughed lightly and looked at Mr. Chen, "Dear sir, we will explain your situation in detail to the alliance!"

"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Envoy, for your understanding!"

Mr. Chen put down his crossed legs and his expression became serious.

Even if the other party only spoke for the second time after they met, he still took him seriously.

Because this biting dog never barks, once it opens its mouth, you have to be careful!
