Chapter 1353 Behind the prosperity lies sadness
March in the Gregorian calendar marks the beginning of spring in Moscow. Although the temperature at night can still drop below zero, the snow has begun to melt during the day.
At this time, even homeless people will occasionally smile, because after surviving the cold winter, they will probably live another year.
But after March, those foreigners who came to Su Goose to buy at the bottom basically had no smiles on their faces.
Because with the tightening of supervision of state-owned assets by the big goose, the era when you could find good treasures with just a few dollars is gone.
Although their current offer is still far lower than its actual value, everyone is here to get rich overnight by paying some money, but now you are playing a serious bidding game with me?
How can a legitimate business be as attractive as an illegitimate business?
Under such circumstances, the inspection team that Li Ye was in was somewhat abnormal, because they had picked up the most "missing" projects in the previous pioneering stage.
Moreover, when other people's policies were "tightened", their projects encountered various difficulties, but Li Ye's projects were basically completed smoothly.
Then many people came to learn from him.
"Captain Liang, I heard you have a strong network here! Can you help us connect with some connections? We were investigating a project and were about to sign the contract, but it stalled midway."
"Lao Liang, we've known each other for decades. Your brother is asking you for a favor, so you can't be ungrateful. Even if you don't give me face, you have to give face to the country. This is a national project."
“.”
Liang Furu is a very experienced person, but he is a little overwhelmed by the various gods who come to visit him.
Everyone is here for the benefit of their country, otherwise who would come to this shabby place? Isn't the developed West good enough?
But he really has no say, because in this sensitive environment, the smooth implementation of every project requires gray US dollars to support it.
He didn't know how much US dollars Li Yehua had spent in recent days, and he probably wouldn't be able to get this money reimbursed in the future.
So you let Li Ye pay out of his own pocket to build relationships and pave the way for a stranger, and even risk being arrested and asked to have some interrogation. Even Liang Furu wouldn't dare to take the risk!
If his expedition team lost Li Ye, it would be like a tiger losing half of its front teeth. Its hunting ability would quickly drop to the level of a hunting dog, not much different from these gods who came to him for help.
So, isn’t this embarrassing?
However, Liang Furu was not in trouble for long, because Sofia revealed an important piece of news to him - Ukraine in the east is about to start a wave of "big sales", and many good things that are rarely seen in normal times have been put on the shelves, waiting for rich people to choose.
Liang Furu immediately reported to the rear that they were "moving to Ukraine" and arranged for Li Ye and Sun Xianjin to go to Ukraine first to prepare the way.
It's just like buying stocks. When you see a stock is already extremely popular, it means the good days are about to end and you have to sell it quickly and move on.
Li Ye was of course happy with this arrangement, because his wife's delegation was also going to Ukraine! He could just go along so they could continue to run a husband-and-wife team in the same room.
On the eve of leaving Moscow, Li Ye and Sun Xianjin met with Sofia to express their gratitude for her support during this period, and also to ask if there were any connections they could use after arriving in Ukraine.
After all, Sofia said at the beginning that she worked in Ukraine before the dissolution of Su-E.
Sun Xianjin said sincerely, "Sophia, we are going to Ukraine soon. Thank you for your help during this period. I hope our friendship will never change."
Sophia smiled playfully and said, "Sun, I really like the courtesy and politeness of you Orientals, but let's not be so hypocritical with each other. I cooperate with you to help each other. So if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush, because I might not understand."
Sun Xianjin smiled awkwardly and asked, "I want to ask, after we arrive in Ukraine, can we still help each other?"
“Hehe~”
Sophia smiled, took a piece of paper and wrote down a contact number on it.
"Believe me, you can get more help from me in Ukraine."
“.”
Sun Xianjin looked at the note and couldn't help asking, "Who is this person?"
Sophia smiled mysteriously and said, "Oh, please bear with me for now. You will be very happy when you meet him."
Sun Xianjin: “.”
I have to say that Sophia is really learning Chinese, which means that she really attaches importance to that great Eastern country that seems to be very backward now.
This woman, at least, is not hypocritical.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Moscow is not far from Ukraine's capital Kiev, and it can be reached by plane in one hour. Moscow is even closer to the border of Ukraine, and it doesn't take long for the plane to enter Ukraine after takeoff.
So how angry was Ozawa's choice to join NATO decades later? Originally, it was a good buffer zone, but in the blink of an eye, I have to be the "Son of Heaven guarding the national border"?
After Li Ye and others landed in Kiev, they felt that this place seemed to be "more vibrant" than Kiev. The drivers soliciting passengers near the airport were very hard-working, the vendors setting up stalls on the street were also very dedicated, and even the girls standing on the street would actively put on a smile when they saw customers approaching.
These phenomena give people a feeling that is very different from the lifeless atmosphere on the big goose side.
But the person who came to pick us up at the airport revealed the reality.
"The social order here has collapsed. No one's life is guaranteed. If they don't work hard, they will starve to death tomorrow."
Li Ye was silent.
Because during the period of mass layoffs in a few years, this phenomenon of "seemingly prosperous but actually sad" will also occur.
Everyone is rushing to do small business, hoping to support their family by setting up stalls and selling things, but if everyone is setting up stalls to buy things, who will come to buy?
Isn’t the sentence “If all else fails, I’ll just set up a stall and sell things” similar to “If all else fails, I’ll just find a rich uncle to marry”?
It's all fucking delusion!
After Li Ye and Sun Xianjin settled down, they immediately contacted each other according to the small note given by Sophia, and then got a "meeting address".
Li Ye was a little worried, so when he went to the appointment, he not only brought Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi, but also brought two bodyguards with Western faces.
According to local people, the Ukrainian authorities are far less capable of maintaining social order than their neighbor, the Goose. No one knows what kind of accidents they will encounter in an unfamiliar place.
However, when Li Ye and Sun Xianjin arrived at the place, Sun Xianjin hugged each other in surprise.
"Sergey, why is it you?"
Li Ye was also surprised, because when he and Sun Xianjin first met Sophia, Sun Xianjin had asked Sophia about Sergei.
According to Sun Xianjin, Sergei has a bad mouth and does not get along well with Sun Xianjin. The two even had a fight.
But looking at how friendly Sun Xianjin was with the other party, it didn't seem like there was any "hatred" between them.
What's even more strange is that Sofia said at the time that Sergei had been out of contact for a long time and was not doing well before he lost contact.
But now he is actually the "contact person" arranged by Sophia. Isn't that strange?
