Chapter 1356: Highbrow
Monday, March 9, 1992.
Captain Zhou, along with his elite troops, Li Ye and Sun Xianjin, arrived in Lutsk, northwest of Kiev.
When the plane was about to land, Li Ye and others looked out of the window and felt that this was a standard industrial city.
There are not many tall buildings, only a few short gray factories and a few Khrushchev dormitories.
But this is already pretty good. When Li Ye and others flew here from the Far East and transferred in some cities in the western part of Dayue, they felt that those cities had nothing and were mainly desolate and primitive.
Although Suzhou is the world's largest country in terms of area, only a small part of the eastern part of its core area is livable, and the rest is not worth further development.
So starting from the Principality of Moscow, the people of this land have longed for the prosperous land of Europe. As for the emperor who shouted "The capital is not that far away", it was purely a boast.
If he really changes the country's strategic direction to the East, the musketeers under his command will be able to replace him with an emperor tomorrow.
It would be fine if you could just write a poem for your own amusement, but would you really ask us to cross that freezing snowy plain, at the cost of over 60% non-combat casualties, to fight to the death with a country with the largest population in the world?
What? Are those noobs in Europe no longer so attractive?
Therefore, places like Ukraine, which are close to Europe, have always been the core areas of Sugo's key operations, and industrial production capacity is the top priority of the entire Sugo.
It can be said that without Ukraine, the powerful Su-E would be dismembered on the spot.
For example, the "Motor Aviation Company" that Uklanye and others are going to bid for is a company that can repair MiG-29s and produce important parts of aircraft engines.
According to the information provided by Pavlov a few days ago, this time they will sell a production line for an important component of aircraft engines, whose technological level is among the best in the world.
However, after Sun Xianjin handed the information to Head Zhou, the members of the inspection team had two opinions on the value of this production line.
Some people think that its value is immeasurable and must be obtained at all costs, while others think that this thing is useless.
People who hold the first view basically come from a high-tech background. They have been engaged in research and development for most of their lives, and their hair and beards are almost turning white with worry just to improve a few data points. Now they have the opportunity to get the "unique secret book", how can they not be excited?
The other group of people are mainly administrative personnel with a "big picture" perspective. In their view, there are very few buyers willing to actually pay for the motor company's production line.
Because on this blue planet, few countries can afford something like aircraft engines.
There are a few real players in the East Asian monster house market, but Japan, South Korea, and Haixia are all disciples of the Lighthouse School, which is not the same as the Su-series products, and the Lighthouse godfather may not allow him to engage in research and development himself.
There is only one Jin family left on the peninsula, and they don’t even have many planes. Do they still have the motivation to research aircraft engines?
Most Western European gentlemen also have their own pride and look down upon the bulky goods of Su Ge.
The engine technology seems high-end, but in fact it is too high-brow for most people.
Those who can play it look down on the Ukrainian engine, and those who can't play it won't be able to play it even if I give it to you!
So after discussion, Captain Zhou and others decided that they could "stretch it a little" when it came to bidding. Maybe they could get a bargain?
But when everyone arrived at the bidding address of the motor company, they found that someone seemed to have been missed in the previous analysis.
White elephant.
A few months later, Li Ye met Cindy again.
It was Cindy who wanted to dance with Sophia at the welcome dinner in Kamaz.
Li Ye smiled and said to Sun Xianjin, "Nuo, I see your old classmate again. Do you want to go say hello to him?"
The reason why Cindy knew Sophia was the same as Sun Xianjin's. They were both international students at Moscow University, so if you really talk about seniority, Sun Xianjin and he were actually classmates.
"Tsk, who's in the same class as someone who doesn't use paper when wiping his butt?"
Sun Xianjin spat in disdain, then whispered to Li Ye, "Do these White Elephant people really want to buy aero-engine technology?"
What? White Elephant playing with an aircraft engine?
Forget it! They are just playing with cow dung.
But Li Ye sighed and said in a deep voice: "It should be true. They have this need."
The main business scope of Motor Aviation Industry Company is to repair MiG-29, and Baixiang is a loyal user of MiG-29.
In addition, Baixiang also believes that it is a world-class power and needs to have high-end technology that matches its status as a great power.
The motor company's production line includes a complete set of high-end machine tools that can produce aero-engine blades. It is most suitable for special users like Baiyang who have no foundation and need to "create something from scratch".
[Alas, no wonder decades later, White Elephant still considers itself on the same level as Flower Planters! Everyone's thirst for technology seems to be essentially the same.]
It's like two millionaires, one worth a billion and the other worth a hundred million. The one worth a hundred million says, "We're both billionaires, so we're in the same league."
The people on Captain Zhou's side also thought of this. Their original intention of keeping calm and taking advantage of the situation suddenly disappeared, and they all became anxious.
Someone even asked Sun Xianjin, "Xiao Sun, why didn't you notice that the White Elephant people were participating in the bidding?"
Sun Xianjin spread his hands and said, "The organizers haven't informed us, and we have no plans to obtain information through other channels."
“.”
"Pavlov didn't receive any money, so why would he provide you with assistance? How dare you ask me that?"
Pavlov provided the production line information of Motor Aviation Industry Corporation in accordance with Li Ye's request, and also provided a secure Swiss account number.
Unfortunately, Captain Zhou and others wanted to try it on their own, so Pavlov certainly wouldn't provide any other services.
The person who asked Sun Xianjin was met with a cold shoulder and had no choice but to say, "It's okay, actually. The White Elephant people aren't wealthy, so it's still unclear who will win."
But as soon as this guy finished speaking, another group of people entered the bidding site.
These people are almost all serious old white men, and everything from their clothes to their hair exudes a sense of rigor and luxury.
The white elephant man was also stunned and turned to ask Captain Zhou.
"Which company is this?"
"I don't know? Do you know?"
“We don’t know either.”
However, just when both sides were confused and guessing, the organizer revealed the answer to everyone.
Welcome to Koshi Company
Sun Xianjin said in surprise: "Keshi Company, Li Ye, it turned out to be Li Ye from Keshi Company, Li Ye?"
When Koshi Company bought the stocks from the workers in Kamaz Automobile City, it was Li Ye and the people from Baixiang who "joined forces" to break it, and later Sofia succeeded. So the three parties present are still "enemies will come together"!
But Sun Xianjin called out to Li Ye several times in a row, but Li Ye did not respond.
Sun Xianjin then noticed that Li Ye and Wen Leyu were both looking at someone from Keshi Company.
In the entire Koshi Company, there is only one person with yellow skin, and he is also the only one who is not white.
