Zhao Ye smiled and said firmly, "Please rest assured, leaders, Wujiang Group will definitely build the world's tallest building!!!"

Although building skyscrapers is very expensive, Wujiang Group has too much cash reserves to invest in them. Moreover, there are benefits such as tax breaks and low-interest loans from banks. It would be a shame not to develop skyscrapers.

In addition, large-scale infrastructure projects can promote the development of Shanghai's economy, which will also benefit Wujiang Group.

However, launching so many projects will cost a lot of money.

Even Wujiang Group will face some pressure.

In the future, if the Soviet Union doesn't disintegrate so early and continues to lead the way, then the honeymoon period between China and the US will likely continue. This is of great significance to the Wujiang Group. It would mean that the US, in order to court China, wouldn't be so overtly targeting the Wujiang Group.

This gave Wujiang Group the opportunity to continue making money like crazy all over the world.

Zhao Ye has a golden touch; he's not worried about the products he develops not making money. His only fear is that the US will act like a rogue state and impose various sanctions.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ye, watched by his superiors, got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom and returned to the company.

As for the factory relocation issue, it is easy to solve. Pudong New Area is very large, and the government said it has found another piece of land and sold it to Wujiang Group at a very low price.

On his way back, Zhao Ye was deep in thought about how to delay the collapse of the Soviet Union.

After thinking for a long time, he concluded that the main problem facing the Soviet Union was its economy, which was currently in dire straits.

If the Wujiang Group could provide some assistance, it might be able to delay the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"The Soviet Union lacked light industrial goods, and the shortage of goods led to inflation, a decline in people's quality of life, and widespread discontent. If trade with the Soviet Union were increased and more light industrial goods were imported, it would inevitably reduce the severity of inflation in the Soviet economy..."

"By the way, what goods did the Soviet Union have that it could trade with China?"

"Buy their production equipment? Oil? Ore? Or directly exchange light industrial goods for mining?"

"Weapons and such are off-limits; they're too sensitive. If the Americans find out, Wujiang Group will be in serious trouble. Let the government handle this; Wujiang Group can just act as a middleman at most..."

Back at the company, Zhao Ye continued to ponder Su Fangzhen's situation in his office.

After thinking for a long time, he realized that there was actually very little he could do right now.

In addition, he felt that it was not necessary to wait until the collapse of the Soviet Union to poach talent.

At this time, the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse, much like the darkness before dawn.

Who would care if Wujiang Group were poaching people, collecting data, and procuring equipment there?

If so, then spend money.

If the other party has a big appetite, then smash it again.

There are many ways to spend money. Of course, it's not about sending US dollars directly, but about sending Chinese goods over—canned goods for airplanes, you know?

The goods were probably more popular in the Soviet Union because they could be sold for a higher price.

This practice actually had its advantages, as it indirectly provided the Soviet Union with light industrial goods and alleviated its inflation.

Zhao Ye laughed at this moment. He had originally planned to wait until the Soviet Union collapsed before taking action, but now he had changed his mind.

Why wait until the collapse of the Soviet Union? We can poach people now. But we can't do anything too sensitive, like poaching their military experts and military data. The Big Brother is still around, and they still value military matters quite a bit.

It's not too late to dig when the Soviet Union has completely collapsed.

After finalizing the plan for the renovation of Lujiazui, Zhao Ye immediately began to plan the redevelopment of the area.

In its previous form, Lujiazui lacked unified planning due to the fragmented land. While it was beautiful, it still felt like something was missing.

Today, the entire Lujiazui area, and even much of the surrounding land, belongs to Wujiang Group, which naturally has the capability to plan its overall development.

Although Zhao Ye wasn't a professional architect, his drafting skills were quite high. Of course, he was only drawing a rendering and didn't involve interior architectural design.

He completed a rendering of the renovated Lujiazui in just one night. However, the rendering was too rough and only gave a general idea of ​​what it would look like.

Zhao Ye plans to draw each of the buildings he wants to construct separately, which will probably take more than a week.

The next morning, Zhao Ye decided to first arrange matters concerning the Soviet Union.

At 11 a.m., Zhao Ye summoned executives with ties to the Soviet Union to a meeting.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Ye, with a serious expression, said in a deep voice, "Everyone, from this moment on, immediately begin poaching people, purchasing equipment and technical data from the Soviet Union. Ideally, we should exchange light industrial products for equipment and technical data. In addition, increase trade with the Soviet Union and exchange them for oil!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and they became attentive.

Everyone present knew that Wujiang Group was in dire need of talent. If they could bring over the Soviet Union's talent, equipment, and technical data, Wujiang Group would grow rapidly and achieve tremendous changes!

"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely complete the task!!!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After a while, someone asked in confusion, "Boss, why do we want to switch back to oil? Our country is still an oil exporter. It doesn't seem like we're making money if we import oil."

In its previous life, China did not become an oil importer until 1993, at which time it was still selling oil abroad.

However, in this life, China's economic development speed surpasses that of the previous life. It is expected that China will transform from an oil exporter to an oil importer in the next two years. At that time, the oil stockpiled by Wujiang Group can be sold directly to the country, thereby making a fortune.
