Chapter 1324 What does she want?
"Sophia, are you still in touch with Sergei? If you are, call him out for a drink someday, and then I'll have a good argument with him. When we were in school, he always belittled us, saying that our country was a second-rate country."
Sophia's high evaluation of the flower grower made her old classmate Sun Xianjin very happy. He became a little carried away and asked Sophia to help him get someone to redeem himself.
Li Ye looked at Sun Xianjin's excited eyes and could understand the hardships he had gone through when he came to Moscow to study. After all, Sun Xianjin himself was not big and his country was not strong, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon.
But Sun Xianjin had a ruthless spirit of "fighting if not convinced", and his fists were very powerful, so he was not bullied into a marginalized person, and he even made friends with people like Sophia and Seryosha.
It would be a shame to be humble and polite to them in such a cold and bitter place!
After listening to Sun Xianjin's words, Sophia said calmly, "Sergey went to Eastern Europe after graduation and has been out of touch for the past six months. I heard from several friends who came back from Eastern Europe that his situation was not very good six months ago."
Sun Xianjin was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "Oh, that's too bad. That guy is actually not a bad person, but he has a foul mouth."
"Hehe, Sun, you are still so kind. If it were me, I would open a bottle of red wine to celebrate."
"No, no, I'll teach you an idiom used by flower growers - gloating over other people's misfortunes. It means that you feel very happy when you see others in trouble."
"Oh? What you said is quite right, isn't it? I feel good when I see people I hate getting into trouble."
"Oh, Sophia, that's not how it works."
“.”
Li Ye watched his two old classmates chattering away, and almost said to Sun Xianjin, "We still have to go find Bian Jingjing today! What nonsense are you talking about here?"
But Li Ye finally said politely: "Ms. Sofia, you just said that we solved your urgent problem. Is the matter of the Kamaz Automobile Factory very urgent? If so, can we discuss it?"
“.”
Sun Xianjin and Sophia, who were chatting animatedly, both looked at Li Ye, and Sun Xianjin even exchanged glances with Li Ye.
Li Ye understood that it would be impolite for him to interrupt the two people who were chatting happily, especially since Li Ye asked directly what the problem was with the Kamaz Automobile Factory.
That day, Li Ye said he was interested in Kamaz, and Kamaz immediately agreed to accept a visit and inspection. Kamaz also happened to have an event of acquiring shares. Now you are talking about urgent matters.
So Li Ye's question was just short of pointing at Sophia's nose and asking "How do you want to use us?"
But after staring at Li Ye for a while, Sophia suddenly said seriously: "Actually, you can call me Comrade Sophia. Like you and Sun, I am also worried and anxious about the plight of my country.
When you visited the Kamaz car factory, you may have known that someone was buying out the shares held by the workers. I can tell you that the British were behind those people.
You may not know the origin of the British and us Slavs, so let’s put it this way! He is a troublemaker, wherever they appear, there will be suffering. "
"So, my friends, for the sake of our class brothers, for those workers who are looking forward to hope in the cold and dark night, I hope you can give them a little warmth, even if it is just a kind promise, it can help them get through this cold winter."
“.”
Listening to Sun Xianjin's poetic translation, Li Ye couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look at the ceiling of Sophia's living room.
Looking at the luxurious decorations on the ceiling, listening to the moving words uttered from Sophia's red lips, and thinking about the numb workers he saw at the Kamaz Automobile Factory today, Li Ye suddenly felt a wave of irony in his heart.
Class brothers?
If we can't share wealth but can only share adversity, are we still brothers?
But just as Li Ye felt the irony, Sophia suddenly asked: "Don't you think it's ironic? I live in the most luxurious room, but I'm telling you about the suffering of the workers?"
“.”
Now it was Li Ye's turn to be embarrassed. He did not act according to common sense when talking to Sophia, and the other party was equally unexpected.
Fortunately, Sophia did not stubbornly wait for Li Ye's answer, but explained considerately: "This building belonged to a marshal a few months ago. The reason why I moved here is because it is safe enough."
"Safe enough?"
Sun Xianjin asked in surprise: "Sophia, are you in danger now?"
Sophia said calmly: "In this complex and chaotic period, there are always people who want to seek personal gain for themselves. If I stand in their way, it will of course be dangerous.
But don't worry, this kind of danger will not implicate you. The Flower Planting Family is now the most powerful force in the Red Camp. No matter how arrogant they are, they dare not do anything to you, so you can rest assured to cooperate with Kamaz."
"I'm not afraid of danger, I'm just worried about you"
"Oh, Sun, don't think I'm weak just because I'm a woman."
“.”
Sun Xianjin was stunned for a moment, but still said worriedly: "I just want to say that you must pay attention to your own safety."
Sophia smiled and took out a list.
"Here are some statistics I collected about the Kamaz Automobile Factory. They should be helpful to you."
Li Ye and Sun Xianjin looked at each other and took the list.
Then the two were surprised. The list listed the "high-value technology" of the Kamaz automobile plant and a series of personnel lists.
For example, the gearbox used by Kamaz vehicles is the technology of a world-renowned West German company, and its technological level is at the forefront of the world. Kamaz's multi-bridge drive technology also has two versions, high and low. If Li Ye and others were not careful and introduced the old version, they would suffer a great loss.
The names on the personnel lists were marked behind them, for example, the factory director Romankov and some worker representatives were "Red Faction", while some people were "Capitalist Faction" who were bribed by the Kos Company.
What makes Li Ye even more jealous are certain "technical leaders". In the eyes of Li Ye, the factory director in charge of technology and operations, these are treasures more precious than those technologies.
But if selling out technology can be explained by “starving to death,” then what’s the point of singling out these technical leaders?
Li Ye couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Sofia, why did you give us these things?"
"Because of sincerity, the Kamaz Automobile Factory incident is one of the important tasks I received. I must prevent the capital group from maliciously acquiring our state-owned assets without violating existing policies. When I received this task, I had no idea where to start, but at this time, you appeared like a savior."
Sophia said frankly, "I know that what you need is technology, not our factory, so I help you, which is to help myself. Since you help me, I will naturally let you get the real benefits. And I think that for a long time to come, we will be the most steadfast partners, so we have a long way to go."
“.”
I have to say that Sophia has a good talent for languages and there is nothing wrong with her use of these idioms.
But Li Ye always felt something was weird.
[Is she a guide? Not really! Is there a guide who is not greedy for money? ]
If this list of personnel is true, then it will be of great use to the Flower-Growing Family Delegation. Li Ye and others can specifically seek out the "Red Faction" for negotiations, and try to be wary of the "capitalist faction" that is close to the West.
But what benefits does Sofia get?
What does she want?
Is it really about “helping class brothers in distress”?
When the two of them left Sophia's residence, Li Ye asked Sun Xianjin: "Xianjin, how much truth do you think Sophia told today? How much lies?"
Sun Xianjin also became extremely calm at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can't tell, but with her vision, she should be able to see their current situation. Joining forces with our flower-growing family is a safe way out."
Li Ye took a breath and asked again: "Xianjin, if we put ourselves in her shoes, according to the habits of our flower-growing family, what exactly is her intention?"
Sun Xianjin thought about it and said helplessly: "She must be caught up in factional struggles. She is trying to lure a wolf into us. Driving a tiger to eat a wolf? Killing with a borrowed knife. Anyway, it can't be a free lunch."
