Chapter 1319 Do you want it?
Li Ye and others stayed at Seryosha's house for more than two hours and drank seven or eight bottles of wine. By the time they left, Seryosha was staggering and could hardly stand.
He held Li Ye's arm and asked with a thick tongue: "Li, do you know oriental magic?"
Li Ye said in surprise: "No, I'm not a magician, why are you asking?"
Seryosha burped and said unconvincedly, "Then why can't you get drunk?"
“Heh~”
Li Ye was both angry and amused.
[Are you doubting my drinking ability? ]
Li Ye has seen people with bad drinking habits, who would only drink half a glass of wine, even if it was swished or spilled. But we are here to visit you very formally today, so how could we possibly use such underworld methods that are not decent enough?
"Okay, Seryosha, you're always like this. Is it hard to admit that you can't drink?"
Sophia came over, pushed Seryosha, and signaled him not to embarrass himself.
Just now, Seryosha and Li Ye were having a drinking contest. If Sofia hadn't helped them, they would have crawled under the table. And now they're still not convinced.
"Oh, I can drink a lot, but Li can drink more. I want to give you a gift. A gift between good friends."
Seryosha might have felt ashamed of what Sophia said, so he immediately ordered his servant to get the gifts.
Li Ye was a little hesitant, wondering if this guy gave him a golden AK47, should he accept it or not?
After collecting it, do we have to hand it over to the public?
But after a few minutes, Li Ye smiled with relief.
Seryosha actually gave Li Ye a book on economics written by the Russian-American economist Leonid Hurwitz.
As the saying goes, a small gift may be worth more than the thought put in it, not to mention that the knowledge in the book is priceless, so Li Ye solemnly accepted the gift, hugged the other party politely and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, my friend."
"Hahahaha, yes, my friend, let's drink again tomorrow. Also, let me see your flower-growing skills."
Seryosha was very happy and talked to Li Ye for a long time before he was willing to let him go.
Sophia suddenly called out to Li Ye: "Mr. Li, what position did you say you held in the flower-growing family?"
Li Ye said frankly: "I am the deputy director of an automobile company."
"Oh~"
Sophia nodded, and then asked, "Did you consider visiting the Su'e car factory when you came to Su'e this time?"
Li Ye was a little surprised. He looked at Sofia, then nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course, Sue's cars are all very distinctive."
Sophia then asked, "Which car manufacturer are you most interested in?"
Li Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "I think Kamaz is more representative."
"Kamaz?"
Sophia looked at Li Ye and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
. . . . . . . . .
When Li Ye and others returned to the hotel, Deputy Director Liang was still awake, apparently waiting for news from Sun Xianjin, so they went over and reported the facts to him.
After Sun Xianjin and the others finished speaking, Deputy Director Liang suddenly asked, "When you were leaving, why did Ms. Sophia ask Li Ye about the car factory?"
Sun Xianjin shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, because before I came here, I only made an appointment to visit Seryosha. After arriving in Moscow, I learned that Sofia would also appear today.
I wasn’t familiar with Sofia before, and her background was rather mysterious, but according to speculation from several other classmates, her family was much more powerful than Seryosha’s.”
“.”
Deputy Director Liang frowned and looked at Li Ye in confusion: "Xiao Li, do you feel that she treats you differently?"
“I don’t think so.”
Li Ye immediately denied Deputy Director Liang's doubts.
My young wife will be here in a few days. Are you trying to add fuel to the fire?
But at this moment, the translator Xiao Chen suddenly said: "At that time, Sofia asked Li Ye which car manufacturer he was interested in. Li Ye said Kamaz, and then Sofia laughed. It was a strange laugh. I don't know why."
Sun Xianjin subconsciously asked, "Really? Why didn't I notice it?"
Xiao Chen said affirmatively: "Of course there was. I was paying attention to Sophia at the time."
“.”
Deputy Director Liang looked at Li Ye and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Ye said calmly: "I can't judge Sofia's reaction. The reason why I said I was interested in Kamaz is because this car factory is just outside Moscow.
I also think that the product style of this car factory is more suitable for our mainland market prospects. If there is an opportunity, it will be easier to carry out the next step of work."
“.”
Deputy Director Liang nodded and said, "Well, we will list Kamaz as our next target for investigation. You and Sun Xianjin will follow up and find out what Ms. Sophia means."
"Okay, Director Liang."
Sun Xianjin and Li Ye both agreed.
Then Li Ye took out the book that Seryosha gave him.
Since the translator Xiao Chen has a habit of talking too much, Li Ye can no longer keep his secrets to himself.
"Liang, Mr. Seryosha gave me this book before we left."
Deputy Director Liang took the book and flipped through it, then asked, "Is this a book on economics?"
Li Ye replied: "Yes, this author won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1970. Today we discussed some academic issues together, so Mr. Seryosha may think that I prefer to study economics!"
"Won the Nobel Prize?"
Deputy Director Liang had already put the book down, but then he picked it up again.
But the book was written entirely in a foreign language and he couldn't understand it at first.
So he said, "You go back and study it and analyze whether Seryosha has other intentions."
“.”
Li Ye almost grinned.
His original intention of handing over the book was to shut Xiao Chen up. After all, he had discussed some sensitive issues with Seryosha and Sofia at the dinner table today, and with the help of this book, they could all be summarized as "academic exchanges."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Liang would take it so seriously that he asked Li Ye to analyze an entire book.
It is obvious that Seryosha is like many flower growers. When he sees a Chinese person winning the Nobel Prize, he feels proud, so he gave this book.
Now asking Li Ye to analyze the intention of the book is purely a random guess.
But when everyone came out, Sun Xianjin took the initiative to say: "Brother, why don't you let me have a look at that book first! I'm quite interested in Leonid Hurwitz."
"Okay, you read it first, then list the key points, and then we can analyze it together."
Li Ye stuffed the book into Sun Xianjin's hands without hesitation and arranged some work for him.
Li Ye has great respect for other Nobel Prize winners, but he is not very interested in the Economics Prize.
Because these people all criticized the planned economy, saying that the Flower-Growing Economy would follow in Su E's footsteps and would soon collapse.
However, not only did the flower-growing country not collapse, it also increased its GDP more than 200 times in just over 20 years.
Think about it, in 1949, China's GDP ranked dozens of times outside the world, but after the new century, it was undisputedly ranked in the top 2 in the world.
With this kind of economic development speed, it is not too much to expect a few outstanding economists to emerge, right? Is it not too much to ask for us to be awarded a Nobel Prize in Economics?
Hey, but there just isn't one.
So, do you still want this kind of award?
