Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 1031: It's worth it even if I keep it for nothing (1/2)

Liu Qingshan certainly wanted to acquire this heavy machinery factory, and then through operation, cooperate with domestic parties to bring the technology and equipment here to China.

What he wanted to do now was nothing more than to get it at a cheaper price.

Hearing Gromov's plea, Liu Qingshan stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Our two countries once had a brotherly friendship."

"I will never forget those who have helped us, so Gromov, for the sake of friendship, I agree to your request."

Gromov was overjoyed. In fact, he knew that he had only met Mr. Mountain once, so how could there be any great friendship?

It's just that he has feelings for this factory, and the workers in the factory, who were all good brothers in the past. Now they are almost out of food. Gromov was heartbroken, so he shamelessly asked for help.

Unexpectedly, it really worked.

Gromov was a grown man, and he couldn't help crying with joy. He hugged Liu Qingshan tightly: "Liu, thank you, thank you..."

He really couldn't express it in words, and he just kept repeating this sentence.

Mayor Ilyich and the factory leaders were also relieved, but they also knew that Mr. Mountain only had a preliminary intention to acquire the company, and there was still room for specific negotiations.

But it was a good thing after all. Now the privatization process on their side was not successful: some good industrial and mining enterprises were looted.

And some others, like this bulky machinery factory, no one was interested at all. If they could really get rid of this big burden, they would be more than happy.

Of course, Liu Qingshan would not participate in the specific negotiations. He just had to hand over his bottom line to the negotiation team.

Liu Qingshan's plan was to pay half in cash and the other half in materials.

Now materials are more useful than rubles, and the other party should have no objection.

As for the price, of course, the lower the better. Liu Qingshan estimated that it would not cost much to buy such a machinery factory that no one wanted. At most, it would be a few million US dollars. With the materials of equivalent value, it would be almost enough.

At noon, the factory prepared lunch. Liu Qingshan certainly could not go to Gromov's house. He planned to visit in the afternoon and might find out more about the real situation. wWw.7

The food on the table was quite rich, but Liu Qingshan still found that there were many traces of Chinese products.

For example, red sausage, such as drinking white wine, and even pickled cucumbers. The trademarks on the cans were all Chinese characters.

It seems that Longteng's trade is relatively successful and has penetrated into the lives of the Russians.

This is a good phenomenon. If you stick to it, you can create wealth for the company continuously.

After lunch, Liu Qingshan proposed to visit Gromov's house.

This was a private visit between friends, so it was not easy for the mayor to accompany him.

The factory sent two leaders to follow.

Gromov's home is in the staff building behind the factory, so there is no need to drive, just walk there directly.

The old red brick building looks very dilapidated.

Liu Qingshan is not unfamiliar with this kind of building, because in China, some buildings in the 1950s and 1960s are also in this style.

"Liu, this is my home, welcome, this is my wife Sasha." Gromov invited warmly.

Liu Qingshan also greeted the hostess and handed over the gift he brought.

The hostess is a typical Soviet woman, tall and strong, with a physique that can accommodate the thin Gromov.

She warmly invited Liu Qingshan and his party into the house. Of course, the gift Liu Qingshan brought made her feel even happier.

The furnishings in the house are also quite simple, with an old TV and a sofa that is also a bit old.

But it can be seen that the hostess is a diligent person and the house is tidy.

Not long after, many people began to pour into Gromov's house one after another.

They were all factory workers, including male workers and many female workers.

That’s right, in the Soviet era, female workers in the workshop were not uncommon, and they worked much better than those men who only knew how to drink.

They all heard that the factory was going to be sold, and came to inquire about the news.

An old worker with some prestige suddenly shouted: "The factory belongs to all of us, and it cannot be sold!"

This is true. The workers have a large number of bonds in their hands. These bonds are distributed to the workers after the factory's assets are calculated.

"Master Makarich, Liu is my friend. He promised that the original workers can continue to work in the factory as long as they are willing."

Gromov hurriedly came forward to explain. He was familiar with these workers, and even himself, they all had the same idea: as long as there is a job and they can avoid starvation, the requirements are really not high at all.

"Really?" The old worker looked at Liu Qingshan suspiciously.

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "And we can also hire experienced technicians to work in China. I can't say anything else, but every night, we can definitely drink white wine."

The temptation of this sentence is undoubtedly huge, and Liu Qingshan is not fooling around. In the past few years, hundreds of Soviet experts have been introduced by him to work in China.

Compared with the life of the Russians who can't eat or drink, it's so happy.

Katyusha and the female workers mentioned this matter and mentioned several names, all of whom were experts recruited from Komsomolsk.

The workers did not trust Liu Qingshan, but they still trusted people like Katyusha.

And they do know the situation of some experts working in China. After all, their families are still here, and it is said that they live a very prosperous life.

With this foundation, everyone no longer resists Liu Qingshan, and they all ask when work can be restarted. Everyone is waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and promised: All workers will receive the first batch of houses immediately, including flour, meat, etc.

As long as the two parties negotiate the acquisition contract, work and production can be resumed immediately.

Although Liu Qingshan said that the large tractors here have little sales in China.

The reality is far from that. Here in Longjiang Province, there are many large farms. Many of the agricultural machinery and tools they use are from the 1960s and should have been updated long ago.

As for whether the farm can take out the money, it doesn't matter. If there is no money, it is the same as using grain as a mortgage. Maozi has been short of flour in recent years.

The workers also see hope, and some of them spontaneously go to the factory to prepare for resumption of work. Now that the Soviet Union has just collapsed, these workers are still very dedicated.

Both parties were interested in cooperating, and the negotiations were fast. It only took three days to sign a formal contract:

Katyusha Trading Company officially took over the heavy machinery factory with US$3 million in cash and goods worth US$5 million.

At the moment, materials are even more attractive than US dollars.

How can I say this price? It's comparable to the price of cabbage.

According to the value of the factory in the past few years, it was hundreds of millions of rubles, and the ruble at that time was basically equivalent to the US dollar.

In other words, this machinery factory is worth at least 100 million US dollars, but now it was acquired for only 8 million US dollars.

And there are five million US dollars in it, which were used to pay off the debt with goods.

The actual value, based on the purchase price of Longteng Company, is only several hundred thousand US dollars.

After careful calculation, Liu Qingshan bought a complete large-scale machinery factory without spending five million US dollars.

Not only are there factories, equipment, various drawings and technical data, but they also include hundreds of heavy-duty tractors that have not left the factory.

As long as these tractors are transported to the home country, they can basically get their money back by selling scrap metal.

This shows how profitable Sino-Russian trade was during this period.

In the contract signed by both parties, there are also some additional conditions, such as not abandoning the original workers at will, various welfare benefits, etc.

Liu Qingshan is not that kind of black-hearted capitalist. He can plunder the country's wealth, but he will not deliberately exploit these workers.

When signing the contract, Liu Qingshan also added some clauses, such as being able to use technology for free.

To be honest, Liu Qingshan is still very coveted for the large CNC machine tools and advanced production lines in the workshop.

The machinery factory is a civilian factory and does not involve any military secrets, so the other party agreed.

As for these workers, in Liu Qingshan's plan, a small number of them, including technicians like Gromov, will apply for visas one after another and go to China to support construction.

The remaining factories and workers here will not be a loss even if they are kept in vain.

In Gongqingcheng, there are still many large factories that Liu Qingshan is coveted, but now is not the best time to buy them. He has to wait a year or two and use bonds to acquire them, which is the best solution.

After living in Gongqingcheng for a week, Liu Qingshan's mission for this trip was basically over.

When we returned, the team expanded again. In addition to the original team, there were also Gromov and several technicians and worker representatives from the machinery factory. Liu Qingshan was going to take them there to experience it first.

After bidding farewell to Katyusha, Lao Jiang and others, Liu Qingshan and the others finally got on the return train.

Gromov seemed particularly excited. He sat opposite Liu Qingshan and turned on his talkative mode again:

"Liu, this time, we won't encounter those bald guys again, right?"

Liu Qingshan looked at the several figures that appeared in his field of vision and said with a smile: "That's hard to say."

Gromov took out a bottle of liquor from nowhere and took a sip happily: "Liu, I promise, it was just an accident last time, a small accident."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw two strong men with shaved heads appearing in front of him.

"You, what do you want to do?" Gromov held the wine bottle again.

"Mr. Mountain, can you come with us?" A big man asked Liu Qingshan.

"No, Liu, you can't go with them." Gromov jumped up excitedly and pointed at the bald man with the wine bottle:

"You robbers, it's you who have ruined the image of our country!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand: "Gromov, don't get excited, they are my friends."

After saying that, he nodded to the big man and said, "Comrade Sergey sent you here, right?"

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The broken walls and ruins in the city, everything is withered, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The bustling streets in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper is left, which is indistinguishable and shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage is deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of gloomy weirdness.

The cloudy eyes seemed to have some resentment, and he looked at the mottled stones in front of him alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog at a distance of seven or eight feet from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.
